Lolita dresses

I personally 愛 lolita style and wear it anytime I can, even to school.
One problem I've had, though, is that my immensely fluffy lolita dress barely fits into my chair at school.
The スカート really doesn't look fully lolita without the fluffy petticoat. X_^
Is there a way that あなた wear the style もっと見る comfortably but still maintain that lolita flair?
And of course the clothes are delicate and must be dry-cleaned, which can get expensive.
Do あなた know of another, cheaper way to get the outfits clean?
And what is your お気に入り place to get your lolita gear?
または do あなた hand-make your clothes?
