The List - Take 2

I am not sure when this next list was created but I wanted to document it here to show the progression between lists.
The addition of vintage wear indicates that this is when I started to lose interest in lolita and decided I would wear vintage style instead. I had also left the ACG by this stage and decided to work on my own projects (i.e. Georgian chemise de le Reine.)

(Note - have updated the list completions as at April 2014).
