I don't get this coord. Nothing makes sense.

This is the WORN thread????

This is busted

>>10565445
stfu, anon kindly found a non-stock photo of a mannequin WeArInG a coord. you want something better, post it yourself.

Looking for worn pics of any of AP’s low waist/mini skirts. Any color or series.
Can someone also help clarify when a coord featuring this type skirt is lolita vs some other j-fashion? Does it just come down to the silhouette?

>>10565458
oh come on, it’s literally the jsk with a black blouse and the matching beret, it’s not even a full coord

>>10565463
It’s pretty much the same rule as salopettes imo - some short girls can get away with it if there’s enough poof under the skirt so that it’s big and contrasts with a small waist, and the rest of the coord reads very lolita, but most of the time people get it wrong and it just looks like cute jfashion (and that’s ok!!!!!)

>>10565463
in my experience, the majority of /cgl/ says AP miniskirts are not lolita. which jfashion it is depenends on how it's styled - you can't say a blanket statement like all miniskirts are fairy kei, because pic related clearly isn't. some people do argue that it's casual lolita.

>>10565501

>>10565497
well, now you've seen it in different lighting and know how it pairs with those specific pieces. if you want to delete the post, become a mod. I'm not even the OP, I just think you must be really bored to fuss about such a non-issue.

Ty anon these are so cute! I’ve been in the fashion a while now and love these skirts but I don’t want to get hate for my coord not being lolita enough. I am short 5’2 so at least no one will tell me they’re too short

Does anyone have a photo of this lady sloth blouse being worn? Preferably with a skirt so I can see how see through it is https://ladyslothshop.com/product/giant-bow-blouse-standard-chiffon-deposit/

>>10566851
The blouse is definitely much too transparent to be worn as a top on its own.

You can find more worn photos if you go to their instagram and then go to the tagged tab on their profile.

Looking for worn pictures of this Emily Temple Cute dress. I've been having a difficult time finding anything besides the stock photos

>>10566896
Thanks, anon.

I am having the hardest time finding coord inspo for this BTSSB Alice trick or treating jsk in white. Please help a gull out with any worn coords using the corset style jsk in white.

This cut of Halloween alice in black is one of btssb’s best ever dresses, yet I never see the white... weird lol

I wish british bear came in a cut like this...it would be super cute with a nice hat and a baton/royal staff type thing

Tartan Check Princess JSK please

Can someone post worn pics of Victorian Maiden's ribbon overdresses? Any color is fine.

>>10576239
Only photo I could find of this ver

Looking for the Polkadot Velveteen jacket worn. Also hoping to find a picture I remember seeing of it, it's an AP ad where the model is wearing this jacket with Milky Chan. I've been having trouble finding it on my own, I almost feel like I made it up. Thanks!

>>10576776
Are you perhaps talking about this pic?

>>10576777
No I feel like I remember it being an ad instead of a coord snap. I remember there being a lot of photoshopped floating elements like AP used to do a ton of around 2009. I appreciate this pic too though, thank you anon! These pieces look really nice together

I hope this isn’t too general for the worn thread as it’s not a specific piece, but I would love to see general coord inspiration for bittersweet coords where the main piece has no black in it. Double points for ones that don’t involve “spoopy” themes like bats. Pic related has always been inspirational to me but I’d love to see more

Don’t (You) for using the term bittersweet, ok?

>>10576787
bittersweet requires spooky in order to be bittersweet. black doesnt make it bittersweet but it does require spooky

>>10576789
>black doesnt make it bittersweet
Black is literally the sole thing that makes stuff "bittersweet"

>>10576790
no it's the spooky element u retard. it uses black with pastels so im saying that >>10576787
is fucking dumb for asking that

>>10576792
God this is the best troll I've seen on cgl in weeks

Bittersweet is just black colorways of pastel/sweet prints generally. I guess you could go as far as to say it is sweet coorded with black like the photo the requester posted but in no world is Sugary Carnival or cotton candy shop in black spoopy; even someone with brain damage can see that.

>>10576787
>>10576789

You can literally google this and find the origins of the term "bittersweet", along with how it was defined

https://egl.livejournal.com/12264316.html

(Yes, it's such a long and spechul snowflake tl,dr. Why do you think people (You)'d for using the term bittersweet? the original creator was a bit of snowflake herself)

>>10576813
> Granted, I also believe that every sub category shouldn't be limited to a single definition.
> Merely, I hope that this post will inspire those around me and generate the possibility of further discussion with others.
> I believe a part of me wants to bring this up for discussion as well because sometimes I get so tired of fashion defined in black and white.

Even special snowflake OP doesn’t want this to be so black and white and argument-causing. Chill the fuck out, everyone. We’re supposed to be having fun lol

>>10576815
if the vibes are bittersweet, then you’re bittersweet

>>10576813
>>10576815

The point is, bittersweet is sweet in black colorways. The anon claiming it needs to be "spooky" and doesn't need to be black is an idiot with the nerve to call someone else a retard because they themselves got the definitions of creepycute/pastel goth confused with bittersweet.

No one had any issues with the definition of bittersweet but the sperg claiming it needs spooky motifs to be bittersweet.

>>10576899
The whole point that >>10576815 was making was that there’s no fixed definition of bittersweet. Cool the fuck down - you don’t need to call someone a “retard” because they want to include creepy cute within bittersweet. I would actually argue that something like holy lantern in pink would class as bittersweet, because it mixes gothic and sweet elements.
The person I agree with most in this cursed thread is actually >>10576858 saying it’s a “vibe”, although that person admittedly sounds a bit like a Tiktok teen. Weird times, gulls.

>>10576815
>>10576919

>whole post full of sweet in black colourways
>whole post is about making sweet in black colourways a substyle
>entire reason for that substyle is that sweet in black colourways feels different
>lj comments all talking about sweet in black colourways

>your takeaway: "Oh yah it's whatever I cherry pick it to be"

Well at least we confirmed that anyone using the "bittersweet label" is nuts.

Anyway, I'm out. It's too idiotic to discuss this with idiots.

>>10576787
bittersweet semantics aside, this seems similar to what you're looking for?

>>10576919
bittersweet-chan would wear HL in black to twin with sweet-chan who wears it in pink. did you even bother reading the link? link OP posts her example of a bittersweet coord, and it's strawberry themed - no gothic motifs at all, only black. you are definitely thinking of creepycute, so just use that word and you'll be fine.

Is there really a fucking argument going on here about what constitutes as bittersweet?

Bittersweet is LITERALLY only a blackxpastel colorway of an OTT sweet dress, which is typically Angelic Pretty. Obviously, it can be other things but that is the age old definition.

God, you lolitas still have your bloomers up your ass about bittersweet even more than a decade later.

There is NOTHING else that is part of bittersweet other than blackxpastel colors in OTT.

Not creepy. Not pastel goth. They can obviously be part of it, but it's not what constitutes as bittersweet.

>>10576792
The spooky element makes it pastel goth.

>>10576943
>>The spooky element makes it pastel goth.
While I'd tend to agree that it ends up being pastel goth, pastel goth isn't part of the lolita sub genres in the first place. It's still bittersweet under the lolita umbrella. It'd just be pastel goth and bittersweet.

>>10576944
The issue is that the pastel goth community probably flooded into lolita at some point or another. But it was pretty apparently a lot of lolitas did pastel goth and vice versa. There's a lot of egirls out there that just wear hot topic mall goth clothes and think it's pastel goth, too, even though pastel goth is a jfashion. So there's a lot of fucked up nuances from pastel goth being such a mainstreamed fashion due the name.

>>10576945
>The issue is that the pastel goth community probably flooded into lolita at some point or another
pastel goth/bittersweet were a big thing around 2010

>>10576939
People tried saying that here >>10576802 and other times, but the dumbass obsessed with it being spoopy just won't quit.

Just don't waste your energy on them anon.

>>10576950
Someone's gotta educate the newfraglitas. Look at the shit explosion on CoF. Someone seriously needs to come out with the proper definitions again apparently. I mean all the resources are out there, but it's like these idiots think coming from egirl fashion = can just do lolita with thrown together Dolls Kill pieces + a lolita jsk.

>>10576939
>Bittersweet is LITERALLY only a blackxpastel colorway of an OTT sweet dress, which is typically Angelic Pretty.

Not according to the person who came up with it >>10576813. Does this look like pastel OTT AP to you?

>>10576963
Ok. They are ita as shit, but who cares. The term got used for OTT black sweet dresses the most.

>>10576963
This outfit looks ita as shit though.

Just fucking Google bittersweet lolita you smoothbrains, it will be mostly pastel, mostly AP prints, all sweet, all in black colorways.

>>10576966
because they're black and sweet. that's it, that's the definition. not anything else, not creepy, not OTT, not pink HL. just black and sweet.

>>10576970
This is what I've been saying the whole goddamned time. While people are correct it is often AP and pastel sweet, that's probably just a consequence of pastel AP being one of the most popular sweet styles. Bittersweet is just sweet in black colorways.

>>10576963

Anon. That's a sweet cutsew with a sweet headbow. And a strawberry necklace. With a cherry print skirt.

It's just sweet in black.

That's what bittersweet is, and that's why people laugh at it.

>>10576981
Does bittersweet really apply to old school though? I only see people use it to describe 2010+ sweet in black.

>>10576984
Old school already has a name so no one feels the urge to give it an extra qualifier to feel speshul like bittersweetfags; for some reason just calling their shit sweet in black is not enough for them.

>>10576984

>>10576963 came directly from the livejournal post. It's the girl herself.

And she already says it's sweet. Her entire article basically boils down to "sweet in black should be called bittersweet". That's it. That's all there is to it.

Fucking hell imagine caring THIS much about what people call “bittersweet”. What a thrilling life you must lead. Do you foam at the mouth when someone wears creepycute and tags it as bittersweet or something? I cannot imagine getting this pissy about something this inconsequential

>>10576999
Spoopysweet smoothbrain trying desperately to defend themselves lol

>>10576999
>Do you foam at the mouth when someone wears creepycute and tags it as bittersweet or something?

I don't foam at the mouth but I do acknowledge it is incorrect and that person has no idea what they're talking about and then keep scrolling.

>>10577002
NAYRT but putting “spoopysweet smoothbrain” in my bio that’s honestly incredible use of english I actually snorted

>>10576999
Newfag spotted

Bittersweet is black sweet prints. Usually black/pink sweet coords.

Spooky whatever bullshit is pastel goth. Go back to your shit hole retard. You're banned from bittersweet, I revoke your membership.

bittersweet isn't real, it was just a bunch of sweet lolitas who wanted to be spechul during the OTT sweet era because their high-contrast border prints didn't help them stand out. creepy cute wasn't even a style, just a theme and you didn't even need to wear black to wear it, just get some eyeball bows and go.

>>10577055
>just get some eyeball bows and go

Eyeball bows, drippy pastel text that says "edgy" stuff like 'fuck you' and 'die' and a tumblr blog full of shitty polyvore outfits and Kyary's Ponponpon or Fashion Monster MV screengrabs

>>10577055
>>bittersweet isn't real

Next thing you're going to tell me is that santa isn't real.

>>10577057
Kyary is definitely not pastel goth related, maybe she influenced it a bit but no.

Pastel goth was black(maybe there was text too), galaxy tights, drippy shit, and eyeball bows back in it's conception.

>>10577067
They said creepy cute anon. Eyeball bows and Kyary who used tons of eyeballs and bat wings and monster motifs was popular with the weebs of that crowd especially.

>>10577067
if you weren't around back then, sit down and let the adults talk. pastel goth didn't even need those motifs, just a black or lavender shirt with a "kawaii" graphic, and some sort of bondage harness thigh highs.

>>10576933
Yes, coords like this are exactly what I was talking about! Thank you! I kinda regret asking now with the storm it created lol

Worn pics of this? Lavender is the one I just bought but any of the pastel colorways would do. I already saw the, like, two on on the #etoiletwins tag on insta

thx!

Just bought this off of someone, wanted to get some ideas on how others styled it!

Anyone has worn pictures of the Drop Lace Rococo Accessories Print JSK II from Baby?

Looking for coords of Infanta's Three Layer Frill in this colorway

>>10582184
Do you have this dress? How is the quality? I've been interested in it in the all black colorway but I know taobao can be iffy

>>10564510
>>10564622
It took me a minute until I saw the witch hat. I think it's suppose to be the witch from Hansel and Gretel hence the apron and sweet themed items because the witch lures children in with sweets & cooks them....

I feel there were better ways to pull that off.

>>10582263
In fact, the idea it is suppose to be the witch from Hansel and Gretel would explain that her expression is the face of, "I've been invited to a Halloween meet & I had nothing to wear."

Any worn pics of Modern Student OP? Searching in COF mostly brings up people who've written something about being students in their post.

>>10583837
I would try to do some kind of academic-style - book bags, round glasses, berets, harlequin OTKs.
There's some cute coords around if you just google "Modern Student Angelic Pretty"

Any coords for My Friend Usakumya Creamy Quartet JSK? Any color/cut is fine.

any coords for ap's university op? with the nature of the name I havent been able track any down, and its not very popular either.

Does anyone have any worn pictures of Metamorphose Antique Rose Princess OP?

Anyone have gothic coords featuring a red blouse? I just got one and I'm looking for inspo.

With the image limit, why don’t we just make a discord and have a worn tab

>>10591326
That never ends well.

>>10591326
Last discord ended with a literal nazi running it for about five seconds

Anyone got any pics of IW torchon lace OP?

>>10591573
and not even a nazi in the sjw sense... like LITERALLY a proud white nationalist stormfront poster

>>10582252
op here, the dress came in and it is very good. It had a few loose strands(On both the b/b and b/w colorways), but it is light and perfect for summer. The quality is very good for the price and it is nicely constructed. Also the fabric is a nice soft cotton.

>>10592227
Different anon, but the dresses look stunning! Thank you for the review.

I casually picked this up for cheap and am not 100% how to wear this shape of dress well.
Can I see some photos of it worn?

>>10592227
ayrt, thanks for delivering! They look really good. I'll probably go buy one myself now haha

>>10592261
It looks like a holy lantern shape

Looking for Strawberry Miko cotton blouse preferably in either blue, lavender or red please. Thank you

>>10592289
You mean A line?

Can I see some worn pictures of Belladonna's Ice Cream Shoppe? I'm thinking about getting it when they open up preorders again, but I want to see how it looks on others first before I decide if I want it or not.

>>10592937
Ew, don’t

>>10592261
Just look up Instagram tags of other dresses that came in this sack shape, like holy lantern.
In a nutshell coord it like you would any other OP but you better have a small tit to waist ratio

>>10592227
Damn thanks for the review, might pick both of those up to pad my summer wardrobe. how bad is the wrinkling?

>>10592937
the colors hurt my eyes desu I feel like it would look really washed out on lighter skin tones

>>10593108
Yeah to be honest I’m kind of...iffy on it. I like the concept of it to be honest, but how it’s constructed is kind of meh to me.

>>10592937
This looks horrible.

>>10593108
>>10593125
>>10593199
In that case, less of a worn question: how would you anons improve it so it looks decent enough to be worn (aside from throwing it out, of course)?

>>10593333
I don’t think you can

>>10593333
It looks thin and cheap and the design is bad, so there's not a lot you could do to salvage it without completely resewing the dress

>get rid of awful belt loops
>change belt to be simple and flat
>change bodice fabric and design completely
>change all the lace
>maybe add a solid-color overskirt or apron to break up the cheap rainbow look more
>add more details like simple white bows, ruffles, or some other sort of embellishment

>>10592937
>>>10593649
Hope this isn't you.

>>10593112
OP here once again, there was wrinkling right out of the package, nothing a steamer or iron can fix in a few minutes :>

>>10592937
the more i look at this the worse it gets

>>10593959
I'm gonna keep it real with you anon: If that was me I would kill myself on the spot.

>>10594046
Why are you so rude. The dress is ugly but she's cute.

Anybody have any worn pics of the Magical Etoile skirt from the original release? I always have trouble coording skirts, so I'm looking for some inspo.

>>10594194
yeah but she did her best to coordinate. No one will make a coord that specific where even the glasses match the print but still failing at making it not look costumey or for it to look cohesive. Imagine the time and money spent.

>>10594380
>>10594194
Yeah, you’re both right. Shouldn’t of been so mean about it just to cover my own ass, especially considering how much work she put into it. My apologies.

Does anyone have any pics of worn white x pink old school floral ops?

looking for coord pics of this bodyline dress in this colorway

Any of AP's Angelina items please! I'm mostly curious to see the pink JSK and blouse, but any color/OP would be welcome.

Looking for any photos of the mini Meta airline jsk worn, any colour is ok.

Does anyone have some coords of the black memorial cake op by ap? thanks!!

Anyone got any coords of lace up doll in Bordeaux?

hey gulls does anyone have some worn coords of the Millefeuille JSK by btssb in black x black?

This thread never makes any sense to me, who actually needs worn photos? Are you really too stupid to coordinate something without seeing how someone else wears it first?

>>10609185
It's easier to see how a dress sits and actually looks when someone else is wearing it
Also never heard of coord inspiration?

>>10609185
For me it's because dresses look very different on people than what they do on mannequins

>>10609180
kek i know who you are
pls leave lolita

>>10609192
what? why leave lolita? I'm pretty sure you don't know who I am then

>>10609185
I'm sorry you have loiq

expecting this soon, would like to see ways that others have coorded it so I dont just stick to my default style!

>>10609267
I bet you don't even have the waist bow or collar.

>>10609277
I don't have any of it atm anon, it's in transit. That's why I said "expecting". But it does have all pieces accounted for.

>>10609180
I’m also looking for worn coords of this one in black x black! doesn’t matter wich release since they all look the same anywaya

>>10609813
Ah was it you who just overpayed for this on lm

>>10609837
nope I managed to snatch one somewhere else for $100

>>10609837
It’s an extremely common dress, quit tinfoiling stalker-chan

>>10609837
Vendetta chan much? If you wanted it so badly you should’ve paid more

I'm curious if anybody ever managed to make this dress look decent in a coord.

>>10610004
I doubt that's possible. It looks Halloween costume quality.

>>10565501
>in my experience, the majority of /cgl/ says AP miniskirts are not lolita.
the percentage of /cgl/ that is actually lolitas is smaller than you think. ap miniskirts function perfectly fine in casual lolita.

>>10610108
I personally agree but was trying to provide an objective summary of what people say for OP.

>>10609870
Never said I even wanted it lmao I just saw the auction finish earlier and noticed how much it oversold for esp damaged as is and was curious calm down

Anyone have long sleeve cutsew + jsk pics?

Seconding this, but also interested in the JSK.

this cut in any colorway pls!

Does anyone know what black Aurora Ariel petticoats look like?
Also why do gulls wear black pettis? Is it for gothic?

>>10611865
Are those melissas? I really like this, it looks so classy. The dress must be short, or maybe she's just really tall?

>>10611923
if you're really picky about everything matching, or if you're wearing a more sheer black dress where a white one would show through

>>10611923
Because I don't want bright white pettis or any other distracting color when my entire wardrobe is black

>>10612530
>>10612375

thanks yeah that makes sense, I never considered sheer dresses

>>10609267
What is this dress called?

>>10612371
Judging by the socks she's probably tall. Looks like Melissa x VW 3-straps, yeah.

>>10612573
It's AP's Dollhouse OP. Should also mention it's the pink/gray colorway I'm looking for images of!

Are there any worn pictures of the Dream Sky Cutsew OP floating around yet? I saw someone post themselves in it today and I was wondering if there's anymore around.

Does anyone have a coord with the red Nakayoshi Bunny JSK? Pink and sax are okay too, but I plan on getting red so I'd like some inspiration.

Looking for IWs Shoulder Lace Square OP, brown if possible but any other colours are fine too! ( I´d like to see it because the proportions seem off to me, wondering if I´m too tall for it.)

Anyone have a coord of AP's Sailor JSK Dreamy Planetarium in sax?

>>10618961

Worn photos of AtePie's Amabile sack dress? I love the fabric and and lace but highly doubt these sack dresses look nice on anyone.. :/

>>10621489
Shop staff snap ok? I tend to wear my Amabile with a corset or apron.

>>10619859

>>10621551
Ah don't know why I couldn't think of that - that's great, thanks! :)

Worn pictures of AP's Chandelier Holic princess dress in any colourway? Do people just wear the full set or are there any interesting coords with it?

>>10621489
You could always just wear it with a ribbon or belt around your waist too!

>>10621574

she’s in my comm and is an AMAZING dresser. her entire insta feed is to die for.

>>10622629
not sure if selfpost or vendetta baiting for negative reactions

>>10622687
neither, I just legitimately love her style.

>>10622690
What's her insta?

Does anyone have any worn pic of Love Poodle Going Out JSK? Lolibrary says that this dress is plus size friendly, but I doubt it

Can I just get tips for finding worn pictures of dresses? I look up the print name on every social media and google images, with and without the brand name and cut style and it either comes up with 1-2 posts or only pictures of the dress on the mannequin. I especially have a hard time finding pictures of dresses released after 2015 because lolitas stopped using LJ and Tumblr as much and don't tag the prints anymore.
