Lolita dresses

I personally प्यार 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 स्कर्ट really doesn't look fully lolita without the fluffy petticoat. X_^
Is there a way that आप wear the style और comfortably but still maintain that lolita flair?
And of course the clothes are delicate and must be dry-cleaned, which can get expensive.
Do आप know of another, cheaper way to get the outfits clean?
And what is your प्रिय place to get your lolita gear?
या do आप hand-make your clothes?
