About me

Welcome to my personal blog, where I share insights about my life, Lolita fashion, DIY tutorials, and much more… ^__^

Hello, my name is Veronika, but in the EGL community, I’m known as Yuki. I’m a passionate fan of Lolita fashion from the Czech Republic. I started to wear Lolita fashion in 2012 and have explored many styles over the years. In the end, Gothic Lolita captured my heart and remains my favourite. I’m also a big dreamer—sometimes it’s a great asset, and other times it’s a challenge to think realistically. It’s truly tough for us dreamers. Lolita fashion has been a cherished part of my life for many years and is one of my most treasured hobbies still.

If you’re wondering why is my blog called “Sleeping Doll,” here’s the story! It all started in first grade, not with the blog, but with the name. I was that student often lost in my own world, daydreaming and not paying much attention to what the teacher was saying. When asked to continue reading during language lessons or to solve a math problem, I sometimes found myself at a loss. My teacher would often call me “spící panna,” which translates to “Sleeping Doll” in English. Many years later, I decided to embrace that name—and here we are! Hahaha.

My brand, SleepingDoll, began its journey around 2013, shortly after I launched my blog. Initially, it wasn’t a brand at all. As a student, I found Lolita clothing quite expensive, which motivated me to learn to sew. What started as a personal project soon garnered attention from my blog readers, who began asking if I could make skirts for them. Despite not having any formal education from a fashion design school, I was driven by a passion for Lolita fashion. Over time, the name Sleeping Doll evolved from a blog title to the identity of my small indie brand. And here we are today—a brand born from a high school girl’s dream, unbound by conventions and focusing my passion on creating a diverse range of gothic and Lolita clothing and accessories. Whether crafting sweet or dark gothic Lolita pieces, or even casual wear, every design reflects the joy and creativity I feel. Each item is made with deep love for the fashion, aiming to inspire and resonate with those who share a similar passion.
