Said butt flap

I asked coord help but didn't get much help. I LOVE this dress and I don't think it is the hardest piece, but punk lolita can go ita so fast that I'm trying to be really careful with it.

You could always remove the butt flap, but I'd love to see a coord where the flap stays.

This aatp tartan jsk. Especially because the high low bit goes even lower and to a point in the back. Every coord is either not punk enough and makes the dress stand out awkwardly or too punk and tacky looking.

>>8318749

Butt flap has to go.

>>8318749

It looks poodle skirt inspired, you could play that up. Go for a comfy short sleeve white or black blouse and a pink foulard? Cannot speak for the plaid buttflap though.

I would like to put together something elegant with Fragrant Rose Memories here, hopefully incorporating brown shoes because my ivory ones are starting to kick the bucket. I'm wondering specifically about an acceptable blouse (if this underdress ends up looking like shit with it, I'm afraid the creams are going to clash) and a headpiece that isn't a bonnet.

>>8318799
Dropped the pic.

I'm seeing a pattern here...
maybe y'all should stay away from plaid

>>8318749
I think it's cute as fuck even with the buttflap (it'd be a little boring but admittedly more casual/easy to wear without it.) From your second pic it looks more of a dusty pink? If you play off that muted pink colour or even the tan detail on the front it could work as an interesting palette.

>>8318785
Lots of tartan ITT, which is suprising as its the only print I really like in lolita. Definitely suited to more oldschool or punk coords, pair it with a white blouse, white lace-topped OTKs and big clunky shoes and you'll look put together.

>>8318749
it's hard to coord because it's fugly

>>8318825
I actually really love it. But then again I even like the gloomy bear apron dress so maybe my taste is questionable...

>>8318811
Macaron Tartan Anon here- I love plaid. It's a curse. I also own the AP Candy Bustier JSK and I had trouble coording it too. The problem there though is poor construction. The boning poked through its casing and I don't want to damage any more blouses because of it.

>>8318749
Something quick I threw together, I kept resizing stuff on MS Paint so sorry for the shitty rendering. Ideally you'd find a pink beret with small black detailing, but I couldn't be bothered to look too hard so black barette it is.

The buttflap seriously has to go though

>>8318927
that filename is making me nauseous

>>8318749
Did they really do a Sanrio collab? And they chose Charmmy Kitty as...punk and just did the one big patch? I always imagine if they ever did Charmmy Kitty it would be in cameo patterns like Royal Unicorn.

They should have taken a page out of the Liz Lisa x My Melody collab.

>>8318819
It's actually just really poor lighting in the second pic

>>8319155
??????

The white is such a stark white i cant get anything to match it or even come close.
The burgundy is also difficult to match but i think i can probably buy something else from putomayo to match.
Its also short.

>>8318749
Oh, I didn't know you were a seagull! Afraid I've still got no idea how to coordinate it, except casually and with the buttflap removed. If I really liked it tbh I'd just wear it in styles other than lolita, or casually.

>>8318782
This isn't going to actually look like punk lolita even if you try to coord it punk.

>>8321061
Go non-lolita with it? Sorry, that's my gut reaction to anything very short.

>>8321061
I really like this skirt, I was going to suggest a cream underskirt but then I realised that you said it was stark white. Perhaps commission a stark white underskirt for length? Could be cute with burgundy tights with gold accents, gold shoes, and then IDK what to do with the white on the top half.

>>8321077
I thought punk was the correct substyle, my mistake! I figured since the cut of the JSK had the more motorcycle jacket style fit (what with the zipper front and such) it would be more punk.

>>8318805
This Krad blouse has a similar neckline if the under dress looks a bit off. As far as a head-piece, any possibility of commissioning a floral headpiece that you can draw in the softer shades of green and brown into?

I feel like from FRM and the under dress I can tell which anon you are
>feels like a creep

Help me with the cream cookie collection skirts, I don't know what to do and it is sitting in my closet never worn but I love it so much.

>>8321687

Lol you're not a creep, I've posted these a couple times and FRM in this colorway seems uncommon.

Any recommendations on commissioners? I'd love a floral headpiece that wasn't just a flower crown.

>>8321759
www facebook com/ReveLullaby her stuff looks pretty good but I think her commissions are on hold. Sweet Mildred's shop is on holiday as far as I remember, so apologies anon- I'm also trying to sort out a floral head piece for a MM dress and I'm wondering if trying some millinery flowers and DIY is going to become my go to

>>8318749
I have a boner for punk coords today.. it could have more accessories for sure but yeah.. this is the direction I want to go.

>>8318782
turtleneck cutsew maybe?

>>8321784

Dang, ok. I'm just about to give up and go with DIY for some classic appropriate jewelry (why is everything on etsy ultra-sweet pastel and everything on ebay is gaudy and huge "bibs"? I just want a subtle rosary chain charm necklace), may as well take on the headpiece myself too.

>>8321793
holy fucking tumblr what an ugly outfit hahahaha

>>8318749
I have a friend who has this skirt. She coorded it simply, with a pink cutsew and candy floss hair buns

>>8321799
For lolita, yeah.
I like it as a punk outfit, not a coord.

>>8318970
It's a collaboration with Nana Kitade, who used to wear a lot of punk-inspired things.
>tfw you owned the matching cutsew but never did buy the skirt

>>8321799
Shut your whore mouth. Only the choker and mohawk? are tumblr-tier, and the mohawk does make sense when you think "punk"

>>8321802
Doesn't make it not ugly.

>>8321793
Sauce on the tights?

>>8320007
They think that you somehow mistook the pink Baby JSK for plaid, what a moron.

>>8321811
sad times... they are sold out:

>>8321573
looks like a punk cut to me too, but i sort of agree with the other anon because that shade of pink and the bows just scream sweet. honestly i wouldn't bother too much with lolita styles for this dress, it doesn't look like it fits into any.
as for the coord itself, punk-y shoes and accessories, and i'd stick with soft pink, white and blue, because black or hot pink would pull you well into the infamous bittersweet territory.

>>8321798
How subtle a necklace are you looking for anon? Taobao quality has been disappointing so I wouldn't have anything not gaudy to suggest. Cameo type necklace not an option or is that frame overkill?

>>8321798
Non-sweet is hard to find.
Have you tried Mossmarchen, Crown and Thorn and VooDooDolly?
Thats cute. I also like pic related.

>>8321798

>>8321898
That's cute

>>8322209
>>8321898
Please post some jewellery you'd like! I'm opening an etsy shop soon and would like to get some suggestions on what to make. If there's enough demand and it isn't too complex, I might add it to the shop if you like.

>>8321793
I think it's cute, IDK why the other anon was so sandy about it.

>>8321793
Yeah, for punk this is really well matched and I think would probably look really cute. I think I would like it with a different hair style, though. Maybe long, straight and black with blunt bangs.

>>8322216

I will check those out! But by "rosary chain" I'm literally talking about the chain, I don't want to wear an actual rosary, specially in a household of Dawkins types. I mean the kind of chain that alternates between links and a (preferably pearl) bead, like pic related. Pearl chokers are also good by me, but the "graduated pearl" look is too 50's which weeds out a lot of choices and none of them have cute details; if there's anything but pearl then it's a big chunk of rhinestones.

>>8322225

I want Innocent World kinda things. Dainty pearl + ribbon or high quality lace chokers, cute charm necklaces that actually space out the charms instead of letting them all hang together in an ugly lump. The pitfall I'm seeing so much classic etsy jewelry fall into right now is that it's too much. I'm not looking for a "statement necklace".

>>8321898

Same anon, missed this post.

Cameos are fine, but if it's on a choker I want it to be <1inch preferably, part of a design possibly involving lace or pearls (so not just lonely on a chain) and not have some huge metal filigree thing going on.

On a longer necklace I'm OK with frames being more elaborate, but I'd like the chain to be both interesting and symmetrical. There are some cute long ones that have beading only up one side of the chain and it just doesn't... invoke the illusion of vintage or antique, I guess.

It's just so basic... it's hard to wear casually and it's hard to dress up OTT with just the pinkxhot pink

>>8322225
LARGE royal crown pendants with velvet inside.

>>8321411
yeah the top is what i was struggling with. I was thinking a while top and then a burgundy bolero but again i cant get the colors to match. I also own the mushroom socks that "match" (forever regretting not getting tights, especially because the socks are cream not white) so i might be able to do something with a brown top

>>8322363
Honestly, since this is a somewhat iconic print, I'd say keep things simple. It doesn't have to be casual or OTT, it can just be normal lolita? A pair of white socks or tights and hot pink shoes, a plain wig or twintail wig in brown or blonde, a pink headbow with some small hot pink and white bows thrown in for accent, and some white wrist cuffs would be perfection to me.

This sort of thing or is the crown too blingy?

>>8322225
I love everything that has to do with darker themes for gothic. If you had some options that weren't as cutesy, I'd totally consider your offerings.

>>8321793
The direction you need to go is a 180.

>>8321799
I kek'd

>>8324724
>http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h188759433

It's a bit too blingy, and $32 + SS + intl shipping is too much for something that's not exactly what I want (assuming I'd even win the bid at that price). I just want a pretty detail, I don't really want to pay for a brand name or custom cast charms on such a simple article, you know?

>>8324775
I feel you anon, I know the struggle of knowing exactly what you want but not being able to find it. Provided the chains style is what you were describing, I'll be on the look out

>>8321793
Dang that's adorable thanks for the inspiration

I need help with Bodyline's Sweet Maple Sugar Waffle skirt in sax. So far I've worn it with a red cardigan, white blouse, and red shows, but that's all I've been able to come up with.

>>8322344

>The pitfall I'm seeing so much classic etsy jewelry fall into right now is that it's too much
Funny, the shop will be mostly centred around that theme. Well, it's nature-themed for the most part, but I was planning on something minimal and having a 'classics' line alongside it. So I'm definitely taking that into consideration! Your suggestions are right up my alley.

>>8322535
Hmm... I'll see what I can do! I'd have no trouble adding the velvet myself but I'm lost on how to make the crowns as I'm not much of a sculptor (I mostly do beadwork, resin, classic jewellery). I'll try to come up with something though.

>>8324734
I definitely shall, but most likely not yet. Like the other things, it'll probably be very minimal as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, anons!
