>>10127166
These are cute, but why is the fabric sheer?

>>10127169
They are your slut bloomers for when you are feeling cheeky.

>>10127170
AKA: Only for disgusting sluts.

>>10127170
They're too long to be for sluts

>>10127166
what brand are these???

>>10127237
Rosa Bianca iirc

>>10127259
thanks anon

>>10127169
Maybe to give a more spring/summer feel?

Could someone tell me the name of that manga that had a moment a little while ago about a girl who wears lolita even though she has a mature face?
I think someone posted it here when it first came out and I want to pick it up.

>>10127315

>>10127319
Thank, anon.

Daily reminder Chestnutlili is milkyuki and is posting a bunch of new crap thinking we’re dumb

>>10127331
>telling us things we already know
>as if we actually need your "daily reminder"
anon, this is getting old
negl by this point it's looking like you have a vendetta

>>10127465
Not everyone is lurking cgl 24/7, I appreciate the reminder.

Oops I still replied to the old thread. But is anyone following the Antoinette Decoration listing on Fril? What’s up with that seller?!
First it was 40,000¥, then it got discounted to 30,000¥. Three shopping sevices replied if they could buy it. Then it was reserved at 33,000¥ by a buyer I have seen before, but I am not sure if it is a Shopping Service as well. I think they didn’t buy it as it is listed again now at 35,000¥. The seller is like “No price deductions” but she originally sold it for less...
I really hope AP re-releases this series. It’s really hard to get the items for less than the original price.

Does anyone have any clue when ap cats tea party mto is arriving? Im pretty certain it was may but I could be wrong?

>>10127555
I was told mid June by my ss.

>>10127670
Important notice: petition claims re-release of special set cut IN ADDITION to basic cuts

>>10127670
Goth but tempted to sign for solidarity. What do you sweets actually like about this dress though?

>>10127674
I'm more into classic and country but I like the diner-ish feel to it.
It's very 1950's feeling and not cavity inducing pastel sweet, especially if it's coorded right.

>>10127670
>STILL not even at 500

W2cop long bloomers like this for a 6' girl?

>>10127731
>6'
>girl

>>10127731
I'm 5'11" and maxicimam has long bloomers! Also, meta's raschel lace bloomers go underknee for me. I usually pull them up a bit as I prefer them to be a bit higher, but they always go back

>>10127670
This is so demanding. I would LOVE a honey cake re-relase, but not if you're going to be a begging chooser and demand that you don't like the cut. It seems a little insulting. I wouldn't want AP to see this petition.

>>10127731
They're from Rosa Bianca. Literally any lolita brand has released long bloomers, even ETC, you just need to keep an eye out.

>>10127765
the petition was started by two ita 17 year olds anyways, chances are it’s them being too dense to realize that spamming it everywhere won’t do anything

>>10127670
This is so entitled lol. They want a rerelease, they want it for this summer, in different cuts, and people in the comments are making even more specific requests. Get over yourselves.

>>10127674
I love the little honey bear because I grew up with those and would put honey on my pancakes as a kid.

Are there any California lolitas around? I'm planning a trip to San Francisco to visit BTSSB and AP, but am wondering if there's any other stores in the area we should go to that are cute. I have people coming with me that are into anime, so weeby stores would work as well.

Also, I wanted to go out for a day in lolita to shop, is this wise? Are there any areas of San Francisco that are too unsafe for this? What should I expect, as far as harassment and things like that?

>>10127886

There's actually a decent sized lolita comm in the bay area, but you should check for a facebook or something to contact them. (I am not in a comm.) San Francisco and San Jose both have Japantowns, but San Francisco's is bigger and has a spread out mall full of all kinds of stuff. Anime stores, make-up, snacks, restaurants, Magazies/manga, purikura, and BTSSB is there in the New People building. If you want to go out in lolita I would recommend J-town.

There are a lot of areas where homeless people and sometimes people with issues wander around. AP is in downtown SF and occasionally there is a weirdo outside. (They lock the door sometimes.) In general it's fine. But it is a city, so use common sense. Stay in a group. I'd avoid super touristy areas while wearing lolita, you'll probably get your photo taken by randos a lot.

Enjoy your trip!

Okay gulls, so I bought my first dreamholic wig because of all the glowing reviews and just.....terrible?
The wig's part is so far forward that it makes it look like I have an alien head and the bangs are so thin you can see right through to the dark brown netting.

Jfc my bodyline wigs are nicer than this

>>10127674
PANCAKES

>>10127886
I was visiting SF, wore Liz Lisa to AP SF and got my photo rudely taken when I was unaware by a random tourist when I was waiting for an uber on that street. Would not visit AP again if I ever went back. Japan town was fun though.

>>10127978
bad bait?

>>10127978
>>10127986
I've had my photo randomly taken by a bunch of tourists on one of those double decker tourist buses in SF. Some people are just weird and rude af. I wasn't even dressed up, went to go get pizza in jeans and a hoodie. It was just random, but they wanted to snap photos at everything I guess.

secrets

>>10127736
Whatever, I know I worded that like a troon

>>10127749
Thank you! I'm the sort of person who cheaps out on bloomers so I'll give brand a shot.

>>10127992
I live in a smaller historic city in Europe and get my photo taken by random tourists nearly every time I wear alt fashion downtown. Sometimes they ask me to pose with them, sometimes they just take a picture without asking, smile and walk away. I don’t understand why anon is blaming AP SF for tourists acting like tourists...?

>>10127886
Beware of Tifferet.

>>10127978
But like why do people care when other people take their photo without asking? and why do you care enough to not go to a physical fucking lolita shop?

>>10128128
I don't know either. This sort of thing happens when you dress outside the norm. I get some gawkers and the occasional weirdo as well, but most people are fine.

>>10128154
Whut. She's still around?

>>10128158
This is something I don't understand either, with the exception of minors or people who want to keep their kooky frilly fashion life separate from their professional life. If anything I'd rather people take my picture from a distance and otherwise leave me alone.

>>10128213
But even if it was a secret you would be more likely to run into someone that you know than to have a stranger take a photo and for it to happen to get back to someone that you don't want knowing about your frills.
I would love to never have anyone talk to me casually when outside.
Photo sensitive lolis explain yourselves please.

>>10128241
it gives me anxiety, not just when i wear lolita but always. idk why, but when i'm at a place where people take pictures of others i just really want to go home. like at those parties or bars where they have a photographer who takes random pictures of everyone. even if they don't post it anywhere, i just feel like i'm being watched or something. idk if i'm explaining it well.

>>10128241
>>10128158
Personally to me it's extremely disrespectful to take someone's photo without asking. It's treating someone as an attraction or sideshow rather than as a human being out living their life. Yes it's an eye catching alternative fashion, but that isn't licence to suddenly forget all common decency and manners. I'm still human, and you can show me the bare minimum of respect by asking for a picture. I don't think I've ever turned down a request, and I wouldn't even mind candids if I was shown after the fact. But having a camera shoved in my face all the sudden or having people trying to "sneakily" photograph me pisses me off.

>>10128278
Exactly this. It’s disrespectful and rude, regardless of what someone is wearing.

>>10128158
Because it's rude? I was standing with my husband on the sidewalk and wasn't wearing anything loud at all imo. It's rude to directly take a photo of someone rather than scenery, which is what this guy did. I'm only assuming he was a tourist based on that action alone.

I wouldn't go back to AP SF because of where is located and the proximity to Market Street. Also the shop had hardly anything and it was over priced. I visit Japan often enough I don't have reason to go to that specific store ever again.

>>10128288
get ready for anon to lecture you about being too sensitive

>>10127674
Don't feel obligated. I'm diehard sweet, and Honey Cake is ugly to me. I don't like bears or food prints. The dress itself is really boring.

>>10127886
Someone else mentioned SF Japantown and I'd 100% recommend. It's got the biggest Daiso in the whole region (maybe the whole US)? Also has purikura! Not sure how you're traveling, but I highly encourage parking in the Japantown garage if you do visit. It's a bit pricey, but it's extremely safe compared to street parking. You can see a live count of spaces left on their website.

Having said that, AP is not near Japantown, and most of SF is sad. I actually hate going into SF because it's so dirty and hobo camps are everywhere. I wouldn't venture outside of the specific shops you want to go (aka, don't "take a stroll" in lolita through SF). Japantown is nice though. No one's gonna bother you there.

>>10128278
Do people shove cameras in your face? (obviously that would be rude)
I don't think its disrespectful for people to take photos of me though

>>10127674
Pancakes and honey bear and the whole 50s art style aaaahhhhh

>>10128288
I suppose I just don't think it is rude

>>10128274
No this was the most relatable explanation for me, I would rather someone take a photo from a distance than talk to me about what I'm wearing because of my own anxieties. We are like opposites :)

>>10128316
I like my cakes to be of the wedding/birthday variety in lolita, so I’m with you there

>>10127555
yeah, it should be May

>>10127674
i like the vintage kitsch look to the print, i like honey and pancakes as a motif. at the time it was a nice break from generic strawberry prints.

>>10128325
were you raised by wolves?

>>10128325
Well I can't see why. There's not a country in the world where that is acceptable. Even celebrities hate it.

hope that anon managed to get the popcorn necklace

>>10128473
Can anyone please explain why they already started promoting their next collection but they haven't put everything from the current/previous collection up in their shop yet?

How long does something have to sit in Wunderwelt's shop before they lower the price?

>>10128473
FUCK I didn't know this had gone up.

"Often, I wish I was tall, not just with the help of enormous heels and camera angles, but tall for real. I never wanted to be cute. I always wanted to be seen as strong. But even with all my workout, my power goth platform and my bitch face, I am still a tiny girl."
>tiny girl
Bitch you're 31. That's the most obnoxious humble bragging I've seen in a long time. Yes, we get it, you're oh so sm0l and kawaii...

>>10128504
Wrong place for your vendetta. She is talking about being short btw.

>>10128504
Yes? She's a short adult woman, not a "tiny girl"...

>>10128504
She's really short, like probably 5 ft. Go be a mad fatty elsewhere.

>>10128525
No matter how short she may be, that still does not make her a tiny girl. She's in her 30s, refering to herself as that at this age is fucking gross.
You don't see short men going around and complaining about their height by calling themselves little boys either.

>>10128526
someones got a stick up their butt!!

>>10128526
men refer to 30+ year olds as girl literally all the time. go you for attacking a woman for her word choice lol.

>>10128526
That really depends on what country you're in, as UK English != US English. I've often heard men in Commonwealth nations refer to themselves as "this boy". Also-- here's a shocker for you-- when you turn 30 you don't automagically grow an entirely new self-image.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I had no idea that criticising FR is against the rules here. How could I have known that she has an army of likeminded womanchildren always ready to immediately defend their queen...

>>10128558
desu I dislike her a lot. I think she's super overrated, but if a woman wants to say she's a girl, whatever. girl, woman, female... at least it's not a mentally ill man calling himself a girl.

>>10128558
I dislike her but your post belongs on lolcow not here

>>10128526
You’re seriously criticizing her for calling herself a girl? Oh, the irony. Because it’s not like we all wear dresses with tiny bunnies on them or anything childish like that.

>>10128558
I agree anon, but lately gulls have been obnoxious and nitpick every post.

>>10128558

her post wasn't even lolita related, i'm not sure why you had to bring it up. I agree her post is annoying, but take it to lolcow if you have a beef with this.

>>10127670
>not requesting they re-release the matching purse
whelp, I'm out. good luck with your thing.

>>10128526
thats just like your opinion, man.

>>10128570
The post is literally not on topic, it’s vendetta posting that wouldn’t even be allowed on the farm. It’s not a nitpick to get called out for being a dumbass.

>>10128504
wow this is so pathetic and extra. Not everyone is entirely happy about themselves and it's okay to open up about it. Also she's french Canadian and like, every french Canadian i know calls me/themselves a girl

>>10128522
>>10128525

She is like 5'3" which isn't even that short. It is slightly below average for her nation but nothing to cry about.

>>10128504
I’ll admit, this was not the best post for her to call herself a girl- especially when she looks like an aggressive 35 year old woman who smokes in French cafes and fucks dudes name Remy. But dammit she can call herself girl if she wants it ain’t even that deep

>>10128718
The point was that she wants to be as tall and tough as she looks in photos when she’s actually pretty short, so the photo fits. I don’t understand why this was posted here; as if it isn’t normal to want to be a little taller (except for the weird short-fetishizing realm of cgl)

>>10128504
What does her age have anything to do with anything? She's not humble bragging about anything and you seem salty. She's literally saying she's insecure because she's super fucking small. Do you understand small women just don't get to model normally? She probably will only ever able to do lolita.

>>10128154
>>10128208
Not really, she never goes to meetups anymore

>>10128158
It's super rude. Which, desu, you can just brush off and continue on with your day. But anon, not everyone dresses in lolita for the attention. Some of us wear it for ourselves and to have fun. Sure we stand out, sure we will get stares, but photos cross a line. Not everyone in America constantly wants to be badgered just because they look different.

>>10128278
The worst is when you do decline a photograph and they insist to take one anyway, ask why, or get snarky and sometimes rough.

>>10128323
That's because you most likely like the attention

>>10128763
Desu? I meant though but okay.

>>10128768

>>10128772

>>10128419
no, just in a barn

>>10128434
well there is a difference between being constantly hounded by photographers who are making money off you and a few people per outing discreetly taking pics that you will never see. Its rude to stare at people but people still do that. We just have different emotional responses I think.

>>10128766
I would like nothing more than for absolutely no one to bat an eyelid when I'm out in lolita.

>>10128526
it's so obvious you're not short or you wouldn't be saying this lmao
>mfw 5'0", US located
>mfw literally everyone I've ever met here towers over me
>even 13 year olds
>when I'm also 30
>13 year olds are taller

>>10128763
Not everyone is in america and I don't believe that people realistically wear lolita for attention. There are plenty of things to do for attention which are easier and cheaper. My question to you is why do photographs cross a line for you?
You a salty ass bitch, I asked a question and you replied like a cunt.

>>10128793
You talk like an american so just take your white supremacist ass out of here thanks

>>10128795
lol wtf, if anyone is a white supremacist its you and your neo nazi good old american friends

>"fucking gross"
>men pretending they are women
>100% okay

Cool, I love society.

>>10128794
No short/regular length again?

>>10128504
this outfit is really cute if you scroll from the bottom up. but her old lady hair ruins the look. just why

>>10128790
>Its rude to stare at people but people still do that.
People will just do whatever they want so we should just let them get away with it?
Fuck that. If someone is staring at me I will leave the venue or ask to sit at another table. Same if they take photos without asking. I'm not a fucking celebrity for you to larp as paparazzi.

New Moite x Krad Lanrete dress was just released after being teased sometime ago. It comes in black and white, and will run about $368 usd.

Can't say I'm really a fan, but I didn't have high expectations in the first place.

>>10128862

>>10128864

>>10128865

>>10128826
Nope, gotta expose those ankles.

Sheglit is also putting up a blouse made from the same material.

>>10128864
I don't hate it but…

>complete lack of detachable pieces.
>doing a high-low design with the really fucking obvious grey underside.
>still hating the sleeves.

The white colorway mitigates some of the issues, and I love the candelabra pattern on the fabric and the cage neckline. Not sure if I want it enough to pay that much though.

>>10128504
Reported for vendetta, non-lolita posts don't belong in the lolita general you absolute cow

>>10128790
No there's not. Learn social cues. That's creepy and the fact that they had to hide it means they knew they were doing something wrong.
Not to mention in my situation, the guy did not hide it at all. It was blatantly obvious.

>>10128874
>High low in lolita ever

Even if the materials were good it would be stupid. There's no way you can support the long back part without your petti showing in print, so the back of these will look really stupid unless you go low poof

>have already obtained dream blouse awhile back
>see dream blouse listed in a different colorway
>don't need it because already have the colorway i wanted
>instincts from when i was searching for it still kick in and can't shake the urge to immediately snag it

>>10128905
>There's no way you can support the long back part without your petti showing
????
wut. the fullest of poofs that hits the length of the shorter front works all the time. have you never seen any h. naoto or AtPie coords?

>>10128942
It will lampshade in the back, I've seen it in lots of brands and hate it

>>10128944
???
only if you don't know what you're doing. a hoop with a petti layer over it will give the right structure, especially since the fabric of >>10128864 looks sturdy. unlined chiffon would be tricky, but this will literally look fine.

>>10128862
the cut makes her look pregnant with a giant

>>10128908
A familiar feel. I get that sometimes when I happen to find dream dresses that I already own, again.

>>10128976
You sound like those normies who don't know what a petticoat is

>>10128485
It’s based on how many people “like” it

>>10128862
The model looks dirty but otherwise I’m into it.
Where can I buy it from?

>>10129018
Lol how do they look dirty

Moitie have launched some sort of subscription/club that you can pay monthly to be a part of for exclusive content.

>>10129009
What? Why?

>>10129215
This is better than what I get from Arashi's fanclub desu

>>10129215
15$ a month? For hair tutorials and updates?

>>10129248
You forgot he's in a band and has a worldwide fandom? People buy magazines to read his interview, why wouldn't they buy this with a bunch of extras?

>>10129215
What the fuck

My comm recently had an event where there were designated photographers. One didn't show. This random guy no one knew offered to take photos. He hasn't posted even one yet nor has there been any official update from the event organizers about this guy or when and if the guy will release photos. I am a little creeped out by this.

>>10129253
Why would anyone agree to have some rando take pics instead of a professional photographer? Does anyone in your comm even know him? The entire situation sounds ridiculous.

>>10129250
Because at least the justin bieber magazines my sister used to buy had posters? And was, you know, a physical possession

>>10129259
Honestly I really don't know. They were probably desperate because there was a lot going on at this meetup and the guy offered.

>>10129277
Can't blame you for feeling creeped out honestly, that's very strange.

>>10129253
I am hoping the organizers say something about that guy and his photos officially. I want to know when and if they are coming out.

>>10128985
wow you sure caught me. are you really whiteknighting moi meme moitie LOL

>>10129340
did you really just refer to it as the full name instead of just saying moitie?

>>10129341
yes what are you going to do about it? cry?

>>10129215
I would never pay for this bullshit, but I hope a lot of people do and give moitie money so they can get a decent designer and make proper pieces for god's sake.

>>10129341
It's not that deep, you just really reminded me of a few normies I've met who didn't know what a petticoat is. They were very confused about how it was possible to get that dress shape.

>>10129362
Stop pretending to be me, I don't even wear Moitie.

gtfo you fucking sissy. Real women don't "do things for attention" like you do.

>>10129215
Isn't this like an infinitely cheaper version of Innocent World's special member area? JetJ is beginning to have member only sales as well. Are we going to see special member benefits for the sweet brands as well?

>>10128158
1. It’s rude. Makes you feel a bit dehumanized, and treated like an attraction.
2. You don’t know where is this picture going to end up. Could it just sit in the persons phone? Fetish site? Will I be made fun of? Will it be modified?
3. Sometimes the fashion is misunderstood by (potential) employers. A lot of us try to keep it as separate as possible, and taking our pics like this violates our right to privacy and control of our own image.

>>10129388
JetJ always had special member stuff too, they're just becoming less secretive about it I guess

>>10129386
the people who are replying are probably not daily lolitas, nothing wrong with that
but when literally every. fucking. day. someone is taking your photo, it's grating. You don't know where the photos going. You don't know anything about the person taking the photo.
It's so fucking entitled to think you DESERVE a photo of someone just because they wear something you don't understand. You don't deserve someones picture. It would be weird if you took a photo of a normie, it's the same no matter what the persons wearing.
Great points anon

>>10129215
I would pay $15 a year for this. Monthly is a joke

She's French Canadian ffs. We call everybody girl/boy (fille/gars) whatever their age. Americans/Brits need to stop assuming their culture is the only one on this planet.

The thing about their subscriptions is that they're automatic with buying a certain amount, you don't pay x, you buy x amount for product.

>>10128833
It was to go shopping and run errands by yourself.
This is her 'no fuss' updo when she's not impressing anyone.
She does it pretty often if you've been following her posts.

>>10128804
we can simultaneously acknowledge that it's a negative cultural habit for adult women to refer to themselves as girls due to our constant infantilization and fixation on preserving our youth...and also have a problem with men wearing women's socially enforced roles as costumes. I wouldn't go so far as to call it fucking gross for her to do that, it's mainly just pathetic.

>>10128504
>>10128526
I agree with you and if this was about any other lolita, lots of replies would have ridiculed her. But this is fanny and a lot of gulls have a ladyboner for her, so it's not really a fitting place to post.

>we can simultaneously acknowledge that it's a negative cultural habit for adult women to refer to themselves as girls
Yes. In my Mother language it's not common to use the word "woman" since it has an implicity sexual meaning to it. So we prefer variations of "girl, lady, young one etc." Also, saying she is a "little woman" makes me think about a dwarf.

>>10129686
>hyperventilating

>>10129688
>>10129689
secretly hoping these will semi fail so that I can get them on sale

>>10129686
Fuck, I love the color of the print way better than the original. Is this in store only?

How do you guys solve the situation when you’re torn if you should buy the thing or not?

>>10129827
Always buy the thing

What happened to the discussion of the 2014 JM print? It was definitely on topic?

>>10129827
I consider how well the piece fits in with my wardrobe, my current budget, how many coords I can put together with it, and how often I'd wear it. To add to all that, if it's something that's on my wish list, there's a better chance I'll decide to get it than if it's just something that randomly caught my eye.

>>10129827
Just close your eyes and try imagine yourself wearing it, how you would wear it, where you would wear it and how often. Then consider if there's better options or if it is really necessarily for you to buy that dress and what else you could have bought that is more valuable or important.

>>10129827
If you have to double guess your choice, don't buy it. Something else you love will come along soon.

>>10129691
Montreal Lolita here. the store had ridiculous prices. An Innocent World blouse I was interested in was being sold for almost 300$CAD, to give you an idea. I could get an item like that for cheaper directly from Innocent World.

Plus they were always closing. Seems like they never kept the store open consistently.

>>10129842
This. If I have to guess, it's already not worth it.

>>10129827
I buy it, I don't mind selling with a loss if it means I never have to wonder if I should buy it again

>>10129827
I regret everything I was unsure of. If you would change anything about it then just wait for a different dress. I also don't buy anything without lots of pictures anymore, reduces the regret. It's annoying when brands only have half the colorways pictured on release, I need to see what it looks like as a dress, not just a small square design

>>10129723
Wow, max edgy. The past Moitie was awesome, but things change. If you don’t like the direction, don’t buy from them and get over it. Are you going to post this every general thread that mentions Moitie? You sound like all the AP=Taobao crybabies.

>>10129723
Did Moitie even release any new main-pieces besides the two collabs?

>>10129856
Yeah, pic related is 17800 yen which is about 212 Canada dollars. The markup is from import taxes and needing a profit but it ain’t worth it.

>>10129888
Yes they did, you can easily look this up but they did a few rereleases and a few new things. This is the first main piece this year tho, but I assume they will announce stuff in April

>>10129888
New releases since the revival are the Miku collab, the Rose Garden OP, the Cathrine OP, and now the Nocturnal Romance OP. Rereleased designs are Sleeping Garden (x2 or so), Neo Gothic Arch, Juliette OP, Cross OP, and the Lace Cross JSK. Might have missed something, but I think that's it.

>>10129899
So the 2 collabs I mentioned, 1 rose dress almost identical to previous releases, and a simple cutsew dress. It just seems like they still don't have a designer. I guess you could call that dead if you want to be dramatic.

>>10129904
>releases 12 dresses
>dead

Even being dramatic it’s stupid

>>10129893
I didn't mean re-releases by new, sorry I didn't specify. So just the Catherine and Rose Garden OP. I love exactly 50% of their new (non-re-releases) dresses.

>>10129856
not surprised it failed. they used an obsolete business model that Tokyo Rebel once used and they're out of business too. who wants to be a lolita re-seller with a physical storefront? it's easier to buy online now compared to 10 years ago. let the brands themselves open their physical storefront if warranted.

>>10128862
I’m really sad this dress is almost $500. I was expecting it to be closer to $350-400. I want both colors but I’m just short of affording both. Now I have to decide which one to get.

>>10129983
Neither, just get the tights/otks, because at least those are cute.

>>10129886
Yikes. Don't take everything on 4chan 100% serious.

>>10130020
There was nothing unreasonable in what they've said.

>>10129747
Unfortunately I wasn’t awake when the announcement was made so spots are filled already, best of luck if you are going for it anon!

>>10129988
man you’re real salty people like what you don’t like, huh?

>>10130038
It sounded like an over the top kneejerk reaction to a half hearted meme.

>>10130236
>Not wanting to be liberated by glorious burgers

It's like you hate freedom, Anon

Since both Hospitality Doll and D.Walkure are being discussed again — why doesn’t anyone talk about Engelsbeginn as much? It’s part of the D.Walkure series but less Nazi, and nurse themed like HD but cuter and less costumey, with more interesting construction.

>>10130242
yep you got me. I'm a big ol' America hater.
red and white on my dresses only, to represent the glorious nippon flag.

>>10130284
I feel like HD is more popular because it was a much older release. I guess people covet it because it was the OG.
I personally much prefer Engelsbeginn and it's comforting to think maybe not as many people will be fighting over it if it ever pops up

>>10130284

Both of those are just controversial, they just always generate comments about how one of them is too short and the other one is too Nazi. It's not an indicator of how popular they are.

>>10130284
I've been thinking the same thing. I much prefer Engelsbeginn to HD, I don't really get the HD hype

>>10130284
>It’s part of the D.Walkure series
Shut the fuck up dumb newfag. It was a shop limited release that happened years after D.walkure.

>>10130306
>I personally much prefer Engelsbeginn and it's comforting to think maybe not as many people will be fighting over it if it ever pops up
If only you knew how wrong you are

>>10130306
It literally went for like over 900 recently. Good luck...

>>10130284
People only like D.Walkure to be edgy. That one is less edgy.

>>10130284
Ugh I love them all..

>>10130434
>People only like D.Walkure to be edgy
Not sure if bait but I legit enjoy the set and love historic military looks.
I think it'd be more offensive to dress like how soldiers currently look.

>>10130441
I think people who only like it for the design are in the minority. There are much nicer military sets. When a main-piece is hard to find in lolita, people flock to it. At least half of my wardrobe is military so that's not the reason I don't like it.

>>10130441
Well yeah. Camo pajamas aren't loliable

>>10130443
I see this so much in my comm with D.Walkure and Iron Gate. Even sweet lolitas who aren't interested in military or gothic in any way have them on their wishlist. Just why?
I don't think D.Walkure is super ugly, but Meta and other brands have certainly released better military stuff that's easier to find. It's like they don't want something they can actually find and wear.

>>10130441
I can understand if someone enjoys the D.Walkure skirt and accessories, but the jacket is ugly

>>10130450
>Just why?
Prestige and lack of own taste/style.

>>10130450

It's a popularity and status thing.
Rare sought after pieces, often expensive, will get you attention, comments (sometimes negative though) and likes on CoF.
Not everyone that owns those types of pieces buy them for that reason though, but yeah, sadly there are people that buy them for the wrong reason.

>>10130499
I know that but I don't understand why they're like that

>>10130509
I feel the same, will never understand what drives people like that.

Interesthing to see that Soufle song’s designer pops up in the new chapter of Kitai fuku ga aru.

Are there any lolitas on IG who live in Spain?

>>10130562
Literally tons, did you even try searching? Merkades and issis_starlust are two really prominent ones

>>10130556
I love that girl with the piercings and short hair who wears ghost night bride. Any idea how the translation is going? I really want to know what she's all about

>>10130563
Thanks! I couldn’t think of how to search for them because IG doesn’t have a tag+location function that I know of. These two are great; are there any with a more traditional classic style?

>>10130556
which one is the designer and is the main girl going to model for her or what

>>10130571
Pg 5, top panel girl in the hat is the owner. They're talking about the main girl modeling for them, and the owner is quizzing her about her intentions/experience modeling. The owner is a bit standoffish right now, and begrudgingly agreed to allow Mami to model after the entire crew spoke in her favor. The last panels are someone seeing a picture of Mami in Lolita someone posted online and him commenting that he knows her in real life.

I only skimmed it though, so I probably missed plenty.

I just figure some people might be into collecting the full set. The rest of the set does look versatile, if you don't mind that almost every look is military, and when you've already gone that far the last missing piece can sometimes feel like an itch in your brain.

>>10130236
Honestly white red and blue will always remind me of France, and so does this dress. the american flag never crossed my mind for this one

>>10129748

Doesn't look like it at least for white/blue and black/blue.

I'm debating over it, but the pixelated flowers and the weird way the tulle ends over the dress without any finishing is making me say nay so far.

>>10129686
I'll be in Japan while this is happening and I planned going to Laforet to complete my lolita pilgrimage. I feel like I'm obligated to buy something but the only thing even close to my wardrobe is that Present Ribbon purse.

Is anyone else having issues with Pinkyparadise's website being extremely slow?

These "goths" are mostly lolitas. One is literally at a Moitie event in her pic.

Fucking CCP, they are getting worse and worse by the year

>>10130461
>but the jacket is ugly
Well that doesn't have anything to do with being edgy.

How do I connect with local lolitas when I travel? One of the coolest parts of being part of an international community is that I feel like I could meet friends who are part of it anywhere in the world, but I don’t know how to suggest a meetup with someone I don’t know well online without seeming creepy.

>>10130947
Post in their Facebook group

>>10130956
I just don’t want to make people speak English instead of their native language for me.

>>10131039
Then you can't connect with them unless you learn their language

>>10130844
The article says goth manifested itself in China as gothic lolita so I see why they're included. I don't know anything about the goth subculture in China to say whether or not that's true but it is what it is.
However, I find this whole situation stupid, these people are really trying to seem like they're ~so oppressed~. Yeah, it's kind of shitty that that employee tried to make the customer take her makeup off but that's not this big oppressive action everyone's making it out to be. She really shouldn't have to, but it's not a huge deal to take her makeup off for a few hours. She's not going to be any less goth for being bare-faced for the duration of a flight.

>>10131103
if you can't see the harm in forcing someone to remove their makeup, you're a literal retard. She's not carry a weapon, she's not doing anything that can harm anyone, she isn't a stinky asshole who shit her pants. It was literally just a girl in makeup. Once you start infringing on people's rights like that, where does it end? It doesn't.

>>10131103


I’d like to see your reaction if the station security asked you to wipe off your whore ass lipstick when you’re trying to get on he metro.

>>10131103
It wasn't a flight. She was literally trying to ride her City's subway

>>10130844
This reminds me of a punk girl at my work who is like, the nicest person to every customer, and this woman wrote an essay and gave us a one star review because there was a "scary satanist cashier"

>>10131129
People who do things like that are W I L D

>>10130844
>The goth subculture first rose to prominence in England in the 1980s and has been gaining popularity in Japan and China, where it is also referred to as 'lolita', a fashion subculture highly influenced by Victorian and Edwardian children's clothing.

>>10131143
Wow, I didn’t know I was a goth in my 99.99% AP closet. Neat.

>>10131143
I feel like this might be a mistake an editor made while condensing because the actual information in the sentence checks out, but the connective tissue mangles it. I write clickbait journalism too, and stuff like this happens to my copy a lot.

Pretty sure goth subculture in China manifested itself as the actual goth subculture earlier and separate from gothic lolita, but you know how mainstream media never gets their subcultures right anywhere

Also for all the people blowing this up to be some giant human rights issue, this poster is right, it's not. This is literally just one uneducated employee who pulled an ill-advised dick move. Yes there's harm in telling that girl she had to take her makeup off. No this isn't a systematic oppression or some law or something. Literally one dumb person incurring the wrath of a particular online community. Happens all the time and will continue to happen until someone can magically cure the world of dumb people. If some crazy lady tried to make you take your makeup off at the local metro, you wouldn't be
screaming about human rights, but instead you'd just call that lady crazy. See

>>10131129

for a prime example

>>10131174
Do you know if this will affect shopping services?

>>10130844
This is why i barely go outside. Mostly. Th goth community is amazing though.

>>10131216
I don't think this will affect American SS cause from what I understand, they're just preventing buyers from using credit cards with names different from your ID

>>10131216
I don't think any in-store SS these days go anywhere near the level that Chinese scalpers do in terms of quantity. And don't they usually stop taking order requests once they hit a certain amount?

Chinese scalpers max out the order limit, and then grab all their friends to hit that order limit, who probably would use credit cards in the 1st scalper's name to buy it.

Someone actually in Japan who has experience buying in store would have more info about it, this is just my guess.

nayrt, but please lurk more.

which reminds me, I would love if we could instate a mass bully of newfriends to shut up and lurk because the quality of conversation has really tanked since we grew the 'nel' suffix.
I can't stand the spoonfeeding, the low demonstrated comprehension, the self-defending...it's all too much and we're far from summer. shameless/clueless noobs are vocally shitting up almost every lolita thread.

>>10131437

Thanks for saving me money, AP. Time to save up, someday there will be a cute print with a cute cut again.

>>10129561
If you admit that it's a cultural habit, then how does it make her pathetic? She's just doing something that's part of her culture.

>>10131340
Ayrt and I agree, lurk more newfag.

>>10131437
>>10131521
what is she supposed to learn from lurking? did you even read the discussion?

>>10131527
Words, board culture, memes, and basic events that went down here so we don’t have to fucking handhold and answer dumb ass questions every single time a newfag doesnt know they can answer their own question by lurking moar

>>10131536
I wish you people would forget most of your memes and board culture so you wouldn't keep repeating the same things over and over

>>10131558
They can't. They lack personality, so they depend on memes/buzzwords to hold it together. They also don't hold backing for any opinion they have, saying newfags easier than refuting a point and actually putting effort into it.
That's part of the reason people always claim other people here aren't lolitas (though that's become a stale meme too). Because these people hold no real knowledge of the fashion and just act like catty bitches because they think it makes them more believable.

>>10131322
imagine being so put out that people do things differently in other countries than they do in your own.

>>10131437
>mass bully
you sound incredibly immature even suggesting this. are you old enough to be here?
