fat

Are they volunteers or paid? If they're volunteers, they're doing pretty alright! Sticking with black and white is a good way of keeping everyone coordinated without requiring a specific uniform, and the matching neck ties are cute. I think including a more prominent splash of color on each girl would be better, and having a coordinated theme with the accessories of each outfit, not just like a random flower or crown. Girl in the center back needs some accessories badly. They should also all be helping each other out with hair, makeup, and posing so they can be as cute as possible. For the record I'm not talking about their weight, I know that can't be quickly changed (and I think chubby maids are cute anyway). But the stuff that can be easily changed like style, makeup, etc could definitely use improvement. And if they're paid workers, they definitely need to step it up with an official matching uniform.

I'm gonna be brutally honest with you.
Top left is decent if she puts a petti on, top center looks like she legitimately has Down and top right has an awful outfit (wtf are those sleeves?) ,meh face,and a retarded crown.
Moving on the bottom row, black girl needs to go and so does tumblr chan. Fat maids aren't attractive unless they have big boobs and a cute face. Also last one looks like Dudley Dursley in drag.

Not kammie. Kammie is a lot thinner.

>>10106472
Start-up, coffeeshop, independent bookstore, art gallery, maybe a mechanic, probably lots of other places

>>10106267
Oh come on you can’t even see any part of their coord. This thread is a fail.

nitpick

A lot of womanlet posting in this thread. Do not post lolitas under 5'7". If you are under this height, you do not have the same issues as us.

>>10106546
I second this. 5'5 is never tall...

Any tall old school?

>>10106546
OP here saying I didn't have much tall lolita inspiration in my folders, so I'm sorry. But if someone else could dump so that we have some inspiration, that would be absolutely awesome. I've ran out of tallitas to post.

Selfposting encouraged! (Be nice, everyone)

>>10105967
Her Instagram is @pastelpeggy if anyone was wondering. I don't know how tall she is. In retrospect it looks like she's just quite thin and leggy too. Looks around 5"7.

>>10106230
Shes not that tall. The early release of that dress is extremely short

I've heard that guy is an insane combo of autistism and SJW, now I believe it.

It's in very good condition! No flaws as far as I can see. I've tried it on once and kept it in storage. The previous owner was careful with it as well.

Necklace is up on LM. $175. Oof.

>>10106329
That's a terrible price. I've seen it go (slowly) on mercari for around 40 bucks.

>>10106324
Feel free to send me an email! I'm definitely interested if it's in good condition.

>>10106193
What's your email anon? And in which price range do you have in mind? Don't want to low ball you

I own some of her books but always comes handy having digital references. Maybe someone can find this collection helpful, will add more boards eventually I guess.

Everything is well organized, and if it doesn't, it means I don't own the book or I was too lazy to make a new board just for one particular pic, and I ended up adding it wherever it fitted.

I'm really torn on the model application thing. I think I'd have a decent shot of being picked and think it would be fun, but at the same time I kinda wanna enjoy the day without fussing over it. I've only ever done modeling for photographer friends and not anything on a runway.
Anyone here that's modeled in fashion shows before, is it more pressure than photos?

>>10106044
It's really not bad! You may not get a ton of free time to enjoy stuff until after the fashion show is over but if it's an experience you think you'd enjoy, you should apply! I modeled last year and had a nice time.

>>10105616
How many brain cells did you sacrifice for that sick burn?

>>10105865
>>10105872
Also it's literally specifically AP USA that's coming...

>>10106216
Even when Baby guests at cons the photos are sent to the Japan office for selection.

>>10105093
This is not lolita in any way

>How do I approach cosplay girls without being a creep?

Treat them like a person.

>BTW I have autism.

Lower your autism.

>>10105064
Don't bother. Find a "nornie" girl and get her interested into the hobby like I did.

>>10105064
>I have autism
Here's a tip: don't!

>>10105064
this photo gives me such nostalgia. i miss moot

>>10106089
fairly certain s/he is referring to the background being photoshopped.

Thank you guys y'all are very helpful. Wish me luck.

>>10106111
Ah, I must be illiterate.

>>10106111
a shopped background would make me think of sellers who steal someone else's photos and remove identifying information so the original can't be traced

Are there free embroidery programs? I've been looking for a replacement that doesn't add another subscription to my life or set my wallet back a couple months.

>>10105047
it must suck to be this autistic

Amazon, milanoo, ebay, replica makers on taobao

The help thread and stupid questions thread exist for a reason.

AP

>>10105079
Maybe some minor trends but not really the way that AP, Baby and Meta (yes Meta) do. I feel like they are true to their vision first and foremost. I feel like a lot of their current pieces could have been made 5-10 years ago as well. Thats why they will probably hold up for decades.

I love my AP to death but I just know I'll feel silly wearing some of my current pieces at 40 outside of tea parties. I feel like I should invest into IW now so that I can continue living the daily lolita life in the future. I just can't stop buying AP now to wear while I still can wear the super sweet ones. For reference I'm in my late 20's and foresee myself wearing sweet into my mid 30s if my taste doesn't change.

80% of my closet consists of IW and I love their look, especially their classic pieces and darker colorways. I'm a daily lolita and their pieces tend to be the easiest to wear on a daily basis in terms of not looking too OTT.
They're not without fault though. Some of their dresses are made of kind of flimsy polyester that makes a dress look more out of place in a classic/gothic coordinate with a lot of heavy, rich material. Their bodices have also always been an issue. I'm sort of busty and have a lot of difference between my bust and waist measurements and the dreaded tube bodice doesn't flatter this often at all. That's why I'm always careful when looking at the cuts, especially their shirred pieces. Surprisingly enough their unshirred dresses, especially OPs, always fit like a charm and look way more flattering on me. I for one adore their tulle lace and think it looks just the right amount of delicate. I love their cotton lace as well but the tulle is often more detailed.
I've got pic related coming in the mail right now.

IW master race. The perfect blend of cute and elegant. My wardrobe is smallish and almost completely IW

>>10105119
I'm not on a hunt right now, but thank you.

I know a few people were disappointed at the rerelease of Lauretta Rose being only the tiered version. I visited their Shinjuku shop recently and they had a regular non-tiered version for sale, which they said was a special rerelease. I didn’t see this announced anywhere by IW, but if you’re looking for it it may be worth asking an SS to call or check in store. Lauretta Rose was my DD so I was amazed to find it brand new and bought the one in Shinjuku, but they may have more (since the Osaka store is the head office that may be best to try first).

>>10106225
Yep, same comm! I might go just to have lunch with everyone, but I know I don't have time to swing the other part. Hope you can go, anon!

our comm is pretty quiet since my city isn't super large, so i'm planning on hosting tea parties when i move into my new house in spring to try to breathe some life back into it.
i was so happy when i moved here to find out there was a comm but i'm sad how inactive it is.
not to mention, the fact that its so small and quiet means the mods will virtually accept anyone even if they just have a vague interest or give off sissy vibes.

>>10106237
If it just happened within the last few days, we might be!

Yea I’m really not understanding how so many people are miffed, people are acting like they’re being personally attacked or something? It’s pretty wild

What even is the meet?

Also, anyone staying at the Residence Inn? I got a wicked good deal for me and my group, couple suites for cheap $$

This con isn't big enough (or good enough) to have a thread about it 5 months before it.
