Alright ladies, where can I get a decent plus strapless bra that doesn't slide with the weight of boob?

>>7410756
I've never worn a strapless bra but I hear good things about Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless.

You might also try on bras in-store and give it the ol' jump test to see if it'll stay in place.

>>7410756
go to a boutique and get fitted. really. you may want to look into longline styles as well.

>>7410756
I used to work at Lane Bryant/Cacique, I'm technically too small for their bras but everyone else swears by their multi-way strapless. They're not cheap but they last a long time, and you can get some pretty good deals if you wait for buy-one-get-one sales or coupons.

>>7410611
oh my god that's gorgeous but $300? anyone ordered their stuff before?

>>7410611
>>7411361
agreed, it looks like whipped cream or frosting from a distance, agghh my love

polite sage

>>7411361
I haven't, but I'd love to have this dress. It's pretty enough to get married in...

Is Harajuku Hearts the best place to get Chantillic/Enchantilly from?

>>7411400
I'm interested too, I've never seen something this stretchy look so gorgeous, as a man one of the sizes is always off

>>7411361
chantilly is worth the buck for the $300odd dollars. you'll never see brand the same way again. btssb and ap look like cheap crap next to chantilly. i worship fumiko sama for chantilly.

>>7411251
I personally hate the multi-way strapless. Its so uncomfortable...I don't have a better suggestion though. I just avoid anything that needs a strapless bra.

>>7411361
Chantilly owner here. So worth it. The materials feel so close to bridal stuff. It's also much kinder than the main brands to anyone with a cup size bigger than a C.

>>7410756
Bali flower bra. Sold on Amazon, comes in plus sizes. It's amazing.

>>7411400
I find ordering from them directly is best if it's available on their site. They have great customer service.

>>7411361
Chantilly is worth the price.

>>7410611
Shop at your local gym

>>7411885

Oh fuck yes, have they finally started carrying brand there? I put in a letter to my trainer, but he never got back to me!

Thanks for letting me know, anon!

> anons come in
> 'you guys are FAT'
> wow, such observe

I'm here because I'm a man and burando is never going to happen for me. But that doesn't mean I won't stand up for my strong independent loli anons

>>7411980
I'm decrying the act itself, not the thread.

I love how all these anons just automatically think plus size = 500 pounds. Keep workin' that ignorance, y'all.

Getting back on topic, does anyone have any suggestions for where to find plus size cutsews or just kawaii t-shirts in general? Maybe like a women's size L?

i'm trying to help out my best friend to get into lolita, and she loves it, but she's also a poorfag too.

We have a con coming up next week and i really want her to go, and she already has a skirt, shoes, and tights ready, but it's been really hard to find a blouse that's cheap and fits her bust size.

I don't know if you guys can help me find something for her, i mean it is asking for a lot, a large loli blouse with fast shipping.

but still, does anyone have tips?

>>7412057
Sounds like custom sizing won't work then, due to time constraints. Would you happen to know her measurements?

>>7412057
Personally if she's a bit of an odd shape in the bust, try and find some thrifty blouses local. If you get the quality shit for JSKs / SKs / shoes (don't buy OPs) that's what will make an outfit look good, you can setlle on the blouse if it means it will fit right

>>7412057
The only places I know of to get blouses fast are through Bodyline or a major brand shop but the latter will be more expensive. If you know what her bust size is (actual measurements, not bra size) we can suggest a blouse. If it doesn't get stuck in customs it should get there in time.

>>7412060
Yes sorry, I got them.

Shoulders 16.5 in 42 cm
Bust 43 in 109.2 cm
Waist 73 in 185.4 cm

>>7412063
and alright, that's true. We'll go ahead and look around thrift shops maybe. thanks!

>>7412041
thissss

for everyone who assumes we're all morbidly obese scooting about on hoverounds in brand... plus size simply means a bit too big for regular sized brand, which I'd guess to be 95cm bust, 72cm waist, 160cm height.
So even though I'm considered to be a healthy weight for my height, gender and health, I'm still a bit too big for the usual brand size.

>>7412077
oh and i'm not sure if the waist measurement is accurate. I don't think she measured the smallest part. It's mainly the bust that's the big issue.

just wanted to clarify, and also i already converted the sizes so pick whichever is easier to use.

>>7412088
woops, I meant that those measurements are the usual unshirred not plus-size friendly brand measurements, not how big plus size lolis usually are.

>>7412077
Bodyline L009 would fit, as would L075. L075's only available in beige right now, though, and L009 has bunny ears on the back of the collar.

If she likes either of those, EMS shipping SHOULD make the blouse get to you on time.

>>7412093
alright thank you! i'll keep looking around on bodyline too, seems like a good choice for now.

i forgot to say that we're looking for a black blouse for her too, in case someone wants to speak up about something or sell something used or whatever.

still, thanks a bunch!

>>7412102
No prob! Best of luck to you both!

>>7412057
Modcloth isn't what I would call cheap, but they have a couple that are cute and plus-size friendly:

>>Be fat on /cgl/
>>expect respect
No, you guys are fat. Does being fat make you retarded?

>>7411243
I had a long line once and it was a bunch of boning poking me from everywhere. It was a nightmare and I haven't tried one since but my good friend is getting married and I'll need a bra that can do anything. Being fitted would be nice if my one horse town had a place to do that.

>>7411251
I'll have to make a trip then, thank you.

>>7412473
>Does being fat make you retarded?

No, because you're doing a pretty good job of being retarded without the fat.

>>7412473
have you ever considered self reflection and maybe dealing with your animosity towards overweight people? Maybe see a psychiatrist?

Angelic Pretty's Sweet Jam set in yellow is on lacemarket right now. It has back shirring and I remember from the other thread an anon was looking for this type of dress.

Question: do you guys tag yourself as "plus size lolita" when posting online if you're not obviously obese or chubby? I don't because most of the time, I don't want to be associated with the itas that gorgeouspluslolita reblogs on her tumblr.

>>7416691
do regular, slim people tag themselves #slimpeoplelolita #slimfigurelolita?
do skinny people tag themselves #skinnylolita?

people only tag #plus size lolita for attention. do you want the attention? if yes, add the tag.

>>7416691
I don't really post my stuff online but if I did I would use a plus size lolita tag and just skip the regular lolita tag altogether so that my photo would only come up for people looking for larger girls.

>>7416691
>>7416693
What this anon said. I am a fatty-chan and personally I still don't tag it because it just feels like looking for asspats from the ~plus size lolita~ blogs. However I've noticed some of my pictures still get reblogged to them sometimes, makes me think they just go through the regular lolita tag anyways.

>>7416691
>using tags
not just posting because it's no one else's business.

>>7416693
Sh, don't discourage them, I can filter by excluding posts with the plus tags.

I'm wondering what is considered "plus size" for lolita? I'm not sure whether to invest in a shirred piece or just go for a more forgiving brand (though I know w/indie brands custom sizing is usually an option)...I can post measurements if need be, but I'm unsure as to how to conduct my shopping business as such. Thanks in advance.

>>7411383
>it looks like whipped cream or frosting from a distance, agghh my love

>people only tag #plus size lolita for attention
Or maybe so people who are also plus size can find people like themselves for their inspirations and blogs (and hence use similar styling and fashion techniques that they can't get from a thinner person for obv reasons).

Why does every motivation behind anything always have to be 100% negative if it involves a fat girl? Fucking hell.

>>7420787

That's still attention seeking if you want to be found. Just like I tag my shit #classiclolita, #lolita fashion, and scan for the most popular tags to tag myself with. Don't be mad - we're all attention whores here, especially us ones who post to tumblr for the cold pat on the shoulder (i.e. reblogs and likes).

>>7420795
>That's still attention seeking if you want to be found.
Alright then, guess you better never post any pictures of yourself on the internet ever again. After all, that would imply you expect someone to find your pictures and therefore give you the attention seeking asspats you so crave.
Don't be ridiculous. "Attention whore" is a jealous construct manipulated by bratty girls who can't stand seeing someone else being given the attention they think they deserve-that's NOT what an attention whore is.
It's like how people misuse the term "ita" now--anything they don't like is "ita" even though that definition has rules too.

>>7420802

>Alright then, guess you better never post any pictures of yourself on the internet ever again. After all, that would imply you expect someone to find your pictures and therefore give you the attention seeking asspats you so crave.

I never said that was bad? I'm just saying that it's good to recognise that we seek validation for the work we put into things, and not necessarily in depth concrit. That's why people post, especially on Tumblr where the communication system has been reduced to a statistics contest. If I wanted true feedback, I'd post either here on perhaps egl in its former days.

>>7420819
>we seek validation for the work we put into things
I repeat: This does NOT make someone an attention whore.
An attention whore is an obnoxious, self-centered twit that will do and say anything for attention good or bad. So unless you're exaggerating for effect, 'attention whore' is not an appropriate term to use for what you're describing as a very natural human need. So who cares?

>>7420795
I use my tumblr as an archive, if I find a nice coord of a certain dress, I'll tag the name so "See it Worn" thread can have my contributions. Plus Size coording ideas thread? I'll go grab some from my blog's tag and some off the the PS entire tag. I'm glad they're tagging. Because even if I'm not plus size I can still use their tag for inspiring my plus size friends, and theyre probably using it too until they reach their weight goals.

>>7420826
I'm particularly fond of cardigans and belts. I've been making some simple belts lately with a bow and a large button snap to wear with different things (helping to tie colors in). With cardigans, they can be really tricky. I find cropped cardigans work best. I also own one that flares out over my dresses and pettis really well and ties in the front. Plain cardgians and up looking boxy and boring. So I like them to have some detailing like a peter pan collar or something similar. I usually end up modifying most of my cardis to be a bit shorter.

>>7420760
I'm not sure of your measurements, but Lolibrary is your friend. Find a piece you like, check Lolibrary to see the measurements and see if it'll fit yours.

I'm at that size where I'm mere centimeters too large for a lot of brand, so I check Lolibrary before most garment purchases.

>>7420795
I don't see the problem with tagging coords as #plus size lolita if they are such, especially if you're a new Lolita looking to get exposure for your blog. New Lolita blogs especially need as much exposure as they can get, so adding a decent number tags (within reason) is never really a bad idea, plus size or not.

"Attention whore" tags, to me, are tags like #Lolita #fashion #Lolita fashion #plus size #fashion #fatshion #plus size Lolita #cute #pretty #kawaii #followformore #ifollowback

I fucking hate those.

>>7420856

i've never heard of this tag. i lol'd

Hi all. I was wondering if you could suggest some other bodyline pieces to fit me. I have pic related, these are the measurements listed and it fits fine with ruffle cotton blouse under. But bodyline sizes seem so wonky on the site and in reviews that I'm not sure which other items might have a comparable fit. Prefer JSK or skirts instead of OP.

4L
Back center of length 96cm
Bust 96-106cm
Waist 86-96cm

Also, is there a database or list anywhere of plus-friendly brand items?
Thank you to anyone who suggests.

>>7422318
Can you tell me how that jsk is? I'm wanting the OP in white

>>7422328
I have the JSK in black. I really like it, it is nice thick slightly stretchy woven cotton, a bit longer than some AP dresses and able to take much pouf. I'd say the fabric and sewing detail quality is better than their carousel skirt and more like some of the cotton things from FanplusFriend. It is of course, unlined with serged seams like other bodyline pieces. I like the heart details.
It runs snugger than the listed waist max measure, it fits me well at an 88cm waist but I wouldn't want to stretch too it much more. I have a smaller bust so I lace it tighter there.

>>7422414
Thanks
I found this
egl dash plus dot livejournal dot com slash 406619 dot

>>7420856
Only tangentially related, but do people not realize yet that only the first five tags of a new post show up in tumblr's "official" tags? Past five tags, there is literally zero point in continuing to tag for exposure, especially if all the other posts on your blog use the same tags.

sage because i mad

Is it alright to ask about shoes for larger feet too?

Ok so, the listing for Infanta Sweet Dolly House on Qutieland says that they can do above over-size custom made. But I can't find any information about Infanta customs anywhere. Can anyone help?

>>7422318
gorgeouspluslolita has a plus size brand list! Also, fb.com/groups/plussizejfashion.q.and.a/ has a list of plus size brand with people listing their measurements.

>>7422328
the OP is pretty comfy! I've worn it several times and it looks pretty nice, although it's the standard bodyline stiffer cotton. I shared this pic on a Bodyline thread a while ago~

>>7422452
ditto, my size is 26 and people have told me to do secret shops.

>>7422420
>>7422466
Thank you, I will check them out.

L110 (black buckle dress) can fit well past the measurements it lists for the 4L.
I'm at 48 in the bust and it still has tons of shirring to spare. It's also made of nice thick fabric and has adjustable shoulder straps.

Does anyone have any tips for broad as hell shoulders?

;-;

>>7428834
Jsks, long bell sleeves to add volume to your wrists, big hats or hair to balance out on top. Obviously stay away from puffed sleeves, I have KL's Jellyfish OP and the sleeves make me look like a linebacker. Also short sleeves like Dream Sky OP is bad for large shoulders. JSK and SKs should be fine, boleros would also be good.

Another Japanese "plus size" jfashion brand? http://www.fashionsnap.com/news/2014-03-14/plunprimo-debut/

>>7428869
thank you kind anon!
