Moitie?

>>10047529
I want to know this too. Where to buy knee high lace up boots nowadays?

>>10045904
I'm okay with hot glue but only if you're not over charging like 90% of Etsy sellers.

>>10042762
Kind of? It grows thinner and thinner as you get your sessions, and at times individual hairs do seem to fall out. Mostly hair just kind of... Stops appearing after several sessions. But because you do the IPL with your hair shaved as close as possible, you never get a gross "clumps of hair falling out" experience. Also it doesn't really burn your hair unlike what the other anon said, otherwise it would smell awful. If you want a much more effective and less painful experience though, choose laser over IPL.

Lace Market and Facebook groups are the hubs for Western sales. For Japanese Fril and Mercari are the current top dogs.
>best cheapest
Don't skimp too hard on the petti, anon. Aurora and Ariel is good though. So is melikestea

If I consume the flesh of my enemies will I obtain their wardrobes?

>>10053763
Yes

>>10053611
You've already failed the test.

>>10053611
Lurk more, indeed. If you truly need help there are buy sell trade threads, stupid jfash questions threads (think the last one is in autosage now tho), coord help threads, a thread for questions that don't deserve their own thread, all sorts of stuff. Lurk more and you will find out all you need but people don't generally like spoonfeeding newbies and this question absolutely does not deserve its own thread.

>>10053611
i know i shouldn't spoonfeed but whatever, i want to help newbies and they're definitely correct about most sites being out of date.
>tumblr blog lolita-tips, despite tumblr being a sinking ship, has good directories to shops and other resources and most of their links are up to date.
>lacemarket (egl.circilly.com) is good for finding second hand pieces, especially if you're looking for something specific. Brand dresses can be had for reasonable prices.
>i recommend bodyline for shoes. they're incompetent at restocking but if you can somehow find a pair that you like in stock they're definitely worth buying. brand shoes are lovely but they're expensive and with bodyline shoes you get more bang for your buck if you're a newbie. i wouldn't recommend anything else from bodyline though, with taobao being accessible nowadays you can get better for less.
>BRAND. IS. WORTH. THE. PRICE. if you cheap out on main pieces you're missing out on the magic of the fashion.
>in general lurk more, but the taobao thread, lolita general, and questions thread will be your best friends in this trying time.
good luck on your first coord!

>>10053611
>If you have a Facebook account
Join Closet of Frills, Rufflechat, and Lolita Updates. Spend some time lurking those groups.
>Do you know what Lucky Packs are?
It's almost time for Winter Sales and Lucky Packs so if you can find some direction in the next week or so you might be able to get good deals on some brand new brand
>The /cgl/ Lolita Guidebook
A few years ago some anons got together and made a new-ish resource: http://thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/
>Learn, lurk, listen.
Familiarize yourself with brands, history, important figures, events, substyles, publications etc. There's an entire culture to learn. It's "just" clothes but if you don't already have a good sense of style and fit your first coords are gonna be a bust and you'll waste a lot of money. This is the most important part.

Lumeclusters Phoenix gauntlets.

The extra walking could do you fatties some good

End of dump

>>10053326
Yikes she looks bad with greased bangs

>>10053372
It’s more that she has no eyebrows than anything

>>10053223
Hahahha holy crap absolutely based justice

>>10053086
Because it's a lolicon visual novel.

>>10053086
Why don't men stay with you after they fuck you?

>>10053089
Fat girl problems.

>>10053067
The one that's not from a pedophile game with half the "options" based on actual children.

>>10053093
Virtual cartoon proxy child abuse is no laughing matter.

The resemblance is striking.

>>10052826
pretty sure kids arent supposed to be on 4chan

>>10053645
obvsiously not, but whatever they are i don't like it that much

>>10053458
bad epaulement and upper body placement. At least her feet are turned out.

>>10053453
Literally, this girl..sigh. Her trying to shoehorn all of this non-lolita offbrand stuff into “coords” never works.

>>10053523
Idk anon, I think it just may be the filters in the two photos and a weird lip colour choice in the other, it's amazing what some weird lighting can do to photos. I know for sure that Lara has the tendency to smile weirdly in photos which makes her lips look even smaller, not sure about the other two.

>>10053465
Gosh, pastoral is so gorgeous, I want the JSK really bad. Does she have the dress in multiple colors..? I vaguely remember a blonde girl in the green, but maybe that wasn’t her...if it was, I’m even more jealous now.

>>10052723
looks really cool OP

Is that Lords Blade Ciaran from Dark Souls?

Good insight: post this in the help thread or QTDDTOT thread instead of taking up a whole thread for your one question

>>10052723
Needle files and a lot of elbow grease

>>10053736
>>10053737

>>10053712
Shitty times are shitty, but it does get better anon. Just focus on managing it for now, hopefully you'll find a job next year and give wonderful presents next christmas.

>>10053199
Kill yourself, buddy

>>10052104
I you want to see more causal pictures of abbachio and bruno you can look up elevn_zip on insta, her girlfriend also cosplay abbachio .

>>10052110
sorry I don't know this jotaro

>>10052343
That may very well be the most convincing Bucciarati I have ever seen.

>>10052088
This is just sublime

>>10052343
damn, that Leone made such a good job on the wig.

Old pic of my Kars cosplay, I have edited since then but have no new pics yet.

>Are you making a wardrobe post this year?
I am! After finals I’m going to take a day to photograph my items for it.
>Whose wardrobes do you want to see?
I like seeing everyone’s wardrobe posts but I really like wardrobes which feature my favorite styles and motifs the most.
>Whose did you like from last year, and why?
I can’t remember a particular wardrobe post I liked, to be honest.
>Do you have any special photo setups planned?
Just lying things on my bed and photographing them when the sun is bright enough to have good lighting in my room.
>How much did your wardrobe grow?
Not much but I have gotten a few dream pieces this year which is really nice.
>Do you think there will be less posts again this year?
I don’t think so but I do think they’ll be harder to find since many people have moved on from LJ to other platforms and now they’re just scattered all over the place.
>Where will you post?
Instagram, I would like to post on LJ someday but I feel like my wardrobe isn’t impressive or big enough to post there.

I want to do a wardrobe post, but I only started wearing lolita this year and I dont have many pieces and very little accessories since I don't make a lot of money, and want to buy only brand.. Would it still be worth it or would it just look silly?

>>10053384
Small wardrobe posts are fine! I enjoy looking at them, esp if it looks like it's well-curated and the person looks like they have a direction they're going in. It's also good for yourself for documentation purposes!

>>10053384
Do it, it's fun to see progress as it grows and I'd rather see small posts then no posts at all. This is what keeps the community active!

>Are you making a wardrobe post this year?
Probably not
>Whose wardrobes do you want to see?
Everyone's, I really enjoy wardrobes that have 2010-2012 AP dresses
>Whose did you like from last year, and why?
I don't remember lol
>Do you have any special photo setups planned?
Nah
>How much did your wardrobe grow?
Too fucking much. Moving to Japan has been a blessing and a curse.
>Do you think there will be less posts again this year?
Probably about the same.
>Where will you post?
If I do decide to do a wardrobe post, it'll probably be on Instagram

>>10053587
No. I’m an Amerifag and I NEVER machine dry. Hang dry only. Ever.

>>10053558
Anon who posted the “secret” but I didn’t get fat or ugly...in anything I lost some weight after having my daughter? And I’m also adopted so it’s not like physically having a kid is the only option either. I also would love to adopt another kid like I was, not just spawn more (though ngl it nice having one person “in the family “ who looks the same as me. Don’t limit just straight up having a kid be your only only motherly link.

>>10053587
Also American, but my parents were poor so I grew up hanging laundry outside. We only got to use the dryer in the winter. Now I just hang everything indoors just to keep my clothes nice.

>>10053637
not that anon, but thanks for this. I probably won't ever be able to have kids and it's killing me inside because I do want them... so reading your post made me feel a tiny bit hopeful still. I am not adopted, but I had a shit childhood and was neglected hardcore and would have LOVED for someone to take me who could give me love. I'm sure that there are other children without parents who wish that as well. Thanks anon.

>>10053665
Nah man, I’m a teacher and I would kill to adopt some of my kids if I could. If you can, adopt from foster care children if you can. I know the popular option is adoption outside of the US but a lot of American kids also need love weather their parents are high schoolers or they are already in foster. We’re looking to buy a home when I finish my degree, and as soon as I do, you bet we’re adding a foster kid to our family. If it’s not one I already know, it will be another.

>>10051816
>will probably post more when i get back on Tuesday
don't.

/cgl/ isn’t your blog. post in a progress thread if you want to show off, or preferably just don’t. you killed a thread on a slow moving board for this garbage.

>>10051711
Fat people aren't going to be any less smelly or ugly in normie clothes though so they might as well just cosplay?

>>10051725
No they should cease to exist.

>>10051728
Just let them have fun, they are not hurting you. Don't be such a little bitch. Live and let live.

>>10051711
I-is it ok if I only weight 4 kg more than the character I want to cosplay as?

>>10051711
