/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Since the help thread's looking awfully cosplay-only, does anyone know if prepaid visas will work for placing FromJapan deposits? Just moved to a new country and dont have bank account/Paypal set up yet

secrets!

>>9189266
Please fuck off to the help thread. It's there for a reason, don't spill your cancer to other parts of the board.

>>9189266
I'm not sure where you reside but prepaid visas tend not to work unless its being used through paypal. That's only because they're not intended for international use and thus have trouble being converted to other currencies directly from the card. When you use them through paypal you send the USD amount and paypal then converts it so it works.

>>9189269
>tfw my secret ended up first this week

>>9189286
Ah okay, thank you! Paypal will only let me set shipping addresses for the country the account is originally based in, annoyingly, and FJ + most shopping services only ship to your Paypal address when paying by such, so I'm trying to look into other options until I can get myself set up better here.

>>9189273
That was my first stop anon but
>Any questions related to crafting your cosplay go here
I'd probably be told to fuck off just as quickly, and we've had plenty of shopping related questions in these threads in the past/more people actually likely to know non cosplay-related shit

>>9189309
They will answer questions like yours too. You need to take questions like that to the help/dumb questions threads. If you weren't new as fuck you'd know that.

Did anyone else go kinda nuts for Halloween? I'm not even going to calculate how much I spent.

>>9189314
Every year I go absolutely crazy for it to the point my boyfriend has to intervene.

>>9189318
I just really love Halloween. I go nuts every year and usually buy too much and end up not wearing some (I decided not to wear the first pair of shoes I got for my coord, decided my blacks didn't match/they were too sweet.)

>>9189322
I feel ya, Halloween is the tits. Starting October 1st I start listening to Halloween soundtracks (I used to do it earlier but someone put a stop to it), decorate my house, and make Halloween baked goods every day. I gain like 3 pounds every October because of this but it's fucking Halloween so it's okay.

Are you wearing a print this year?

>>9189331
No. I prefer solid pieces. The most expensive thing I bought were shoes

Is carrying a fan always ita? It's hot as fuck where I live and I want a cute way to keep cool

How long does it generally take to get accepted to Lolita Updates and RC?

>>9189314
I've done nothing for Halloween but I'm helping to organise a meet so I will have to come up with something.
>>9189361
It depends on the fan, really. Carrying fans is a good way to look cool but if the fan is very cheap/costumey looking it can bring you in to tacky historical costume territory.
Have you tried a parasol?

>>9189397
I have a parasol. I was asking about a fan, specifically, so I can stop fanning myself with random pieces of paper in my purse

Has anyone been invoiced/charged for their Meta orders yet? I wish they wouldn't have released 3 different prints on the same night.

>>9189411
>meta released 3 different prints on the same night

glad to hear it's not only their designers who are on drugs while working.

>>9189399
I just use a fan and then don't take pictures with it.

>>9189399
Just get a fan, but not one that is very gaudy

>>9189411
How did you pay anon? I'm not sure I understand your question because I was under the assumption you had to pay when you ordered, so what is this about an invoice/charge? I ordered the MTO and they won't send me a second email about it aside from the auto confirmation for another 2 months or so, according to it, provided there's nothing wrong with my payment.

Also, it took several days for my most recent AP order to process through my debit card. Like the shit had arrived to Tenso before it took the money from my account. I ordered the night of a release, so I'm guessing the traffic played a role.

do any of you gulls have problems with OPs or blouses because they've got wide shoulders? how do you deal with it?

>>9188590
Thank you, saved me a lot of money!

>>9189443
By not being a man

>>9189446
>>9189443
>tfw born female and still have broad shoulders
So much shit fits me incorrectly. I feel like a man in a dress most of the time I wear lolita

>>9189452
You probably look like one too desu

>>9189446
>tfw female ;_;

>>9189454
"female"

How long have you been transitioning?

>>9189446
Who hurt you anon?

>>9189456
I'm going to falcon punch you in the cunt

>>9189443
For blouses, look out for sleeves that are gathered at the shoulder, a bit of length might be compromised, but the gather does give a bit of extra wiggle room for your shoulders. Meta's blouses are also wider set in the shoulders.

For OPs, go for cuts like pic related. Lower necklines can usually accommodate a centimeter or two of extra shoulder as well provided that your bust is comfortably below the maximum measurement.

>>9189453
Maybe if I didn't have breasts and you shaved my head. I have a bit of man-jaw but I've found flattering haircuts and wigs to cover it

>>9189455
never.

i just have shoulders that are 40cm. you're weirdly invested on this desu.

>>9189458
>Meta's blouses are also wider set in the shoulders.
This is very dependent. I have 5 meta blouses and while 3 fit well, two are tiny. It's a matter of luck, I find.

>>9189464
So you're just ugly and unfeminine is what you're saying?

>>9189464
>40cm
this is the usual size for AatP's men's size blouses, and if you like gothic, Moitie and Boz as well. i have found some Putumayo fits 40cm shoulders, but they have quite a range of sizes and much of it is on the smaller side.

>>9189458
i actually looked at some atelier pierrot shirred blouses and thought they might fit; looking through meta's blouses, it does seem hit or miss unless you know the measurements or you luck out and get ones with lots of shirring.

thanks for the OP suggestions, though!

HWC, no one thinks you're witty, get fucked

>>9189480
I'm laughing and I don't care if you don't

you should take your own advice, but I guess it's hard finding someone to fuck you when you look like a tranny

>>9189314
I wish i still felt excitment for holidays...
Christmas just feels like another day to me and so does Halloween. Or even my birthday for that matter.I am trying so hard to find excitment in it but i can't.
I'm only 20 and feel like a sad grandma

>>9189484
Go back to party city where you belong.

>>9189484
HWC you should lay off the salt sis, it's not good for you

>>9189484
just die already, stop taking out the fact that your husband left you alone to rot on other people.
>inb4 you go on about how great your life is
You're bitter and alone, please fucking die already

>>9189484
You've begun capitalizing things. You're losing your style that made you HWC. How am I going to recognize my premium quality shitposts if you do this man????

>>9189484
tired ass showgirl
>here's that (You) you crave

>>9189493
She's going to talk about how she is shitposting because she is le epic troll and how her life is awesome while probably crying on her keyboard wishing it was true kek

>>9189494
it's to start small fires in threads

don't worry, my trip loses its ban soon so I'll use that for you ~~

>>9189493
I'm immortal, I'll never die

>>9189496
>>9189491
>>9189490
(you)

>>9189499
but I didn't talk about that fampai

you want me to? I can since you asked so nicely

>>9189503
You can talk about how gay your husband looks with his hair that new color.

>>9189506
this again

look, I know you have the hots for him but can you not?

he doesn't like you or your saggy stretchmark riddled tits

>>9189501
>craving attention that hard

>>9189511
>it's for attention

it's for giggles

idle hands, yaknno?

>>9189514
>for giggles
Sure

>>9189520
I mean you can try and insist otherwise but that won't change the truth

I sit at home all day and there's only so much to do at any given time

>>9189522
Ok.

>>9189522
Why dint you spend some of your hours watching porn? A little masturbation might fix your shit attitude, orgasm releases a lot of endorphins after all.

>>9189531
masturbation isn't as fun as sex

masturbation doesn't do mouth stuff

>>9189533
You sound like you need to invest in a toy.

>>9189536
again

doesn't sound as fun

am I that weird for wanting sum fk with a person over doing it myself?

it's a lot more fun when someone who makes your heart skip a beat every time you see them is involved

>>9189537
No that doesn't sound weird, makes you sound like you actually have a heart to skip a beat.

So why are you so bitter? Why dont you pick up a hobby to benefit that person instead of shitting on strangers on the Internet?

>>9189537
not that anon but fucking rub one out and get over it, threads get so boring whenever you're here.

To keep it on topic, I accidentally left my pettis at home when I packed for college. Only realised about halfway into the journey, and by then it was too late to turn back. My dresses look so sad without poof, it's frustrating.

>>9189541
Stop taking the bait and prolonging its obnoxiousness, idiot.

>>9189443
also a tip, the larger your petti and the bigger your hair is, the smaller your shoulders will look in comparison.

>>9189542
Why dont you get them mailed to you? Pettis are light and easily compressed.

>>9189541
because I'm mischievous

I play Pokemon while I shitpost here or draw/sew/art shit but that doesn't fill the need to provoke people

>>9189542
if I masturbated every time I was bored that would be called an addiction

>>9189314
I'm crafting a bunch of Halloween themed stuff for a fair and picked up some fabric to try to make myself a Halloween themed jsk.

Kawaii Goods is my favorite lolita brand.

>>9189545
I would but they're at my parents house and as supportive as they are, I don't think they'd do that. Also the mail system here is that no one can hold your mail for you, you have to be in all day and I know my parents would skimp on tracking etc. Stupid thing to moan about but I guess to make a better discussion topic, has anyone has to makeshift a petti out of stuff they had already?

>>9189314
not yet. i'm hoping i won't be too late to buy the jsk i want when i get paid in the first week of october.

>>9189546
"Mischievous" is a funny way of spelling bitch.

>>9189557
look I get that he's hot but you really need to calm down

So I'm thinking of doing a coord based on the girl from the short story 'the green ribbon' for Halloween. the only really canon part of her outfit is the green ribbon around her neck, other than that she just wear typical vintagey looking clothes. Im thinking of wearing some kind of VM-esque OP and a toned down coord, and making it look more spooky with special effects makeup, carefully applied fake blood, and prosthetics. (Fake scar on neck partialy covered up with a green ribbon choker). I don't mind if not everyone gets it as long as it looks simultaneously pretty and spooky. Does this sound like an ok idea?

>>9189577
sounds legit to me, anon.

>>9189484
I miss sieg

>>9189592
I miss you shutting the fuck up

>>9189548
Guaranteed to make you look 100% doki-doki-ita for sure!

>>9189592
that trip is a collective, so essentially you just want to suck /pol/s collective dick right?

>>9189577
Sounds like a neat idea and a nice alternative to the usual themes coords.

>>9189290
I'd like to see someone with that coordinate, with wig bangs cut to look like Spock

What are some Japanese search terms I could use to find old-school rectangle headdresses?

>>9189592
No, fuck the seigs

>>9189628
makkushi paddo

>>9189624
I've only ever seen one Spock coord

I need a decent white peti, I was looking at classical puppets on lolita dress shop but the shipping is on the steep side. Does anyone know where I can get a good peti with cheap(ish) shipping to the uk?

>>9189664
If you don't mind a little sewing, get one of the cheap generic ones (usually labels as rockabilly) with the long waists off Amazon and shorten the waist and sew stiff fishing line into the hem. That's what I did for my first petticoat and it still holds up well today

>>9189550
It's Halloween season (if you're in the us at least) you could maybe find one at a costume shop to tide you over. Or layer a skirt or 2 under a dress?

>>9189577
Oh man, I remember reading this when I was a kid.

>>9189667

Thanks that is much cheaper and loads have free shipping, most of the rockabilly ones dont even look scratchy thank you

Ok I just ordered this, now bring on the crippling anxiety!

>>9189314
I already took out a loan and yay, cherrycheezy just released new stuff so I went ahead and dropped money on a preorder, that shit better be here by Halloween.

>>9189312
Jesus anon, who nutted in your cereal today? Or do you think it's cool and 4chan like to be a bitch and throw around the words "cancerous" and " newfag" so you can pretend to fit in?

>>9189811
Newfag

>>9189684
Haha yeah, it's one of those stories that stuck with me for a while!

>>9189606
>>9189591
Aw, great, I'm glad my idea is doable! I'm a little worried about adding spookiness to it besides the neck scar, so if anyone has any ideas for some subtle morbid details that would be great! I'm thinking paler than normal foundation/lip, a black wig, and possible a coffin bag, if I can find one that isn't too sweet.

>>9189359
>The most expensive thing I bought were shoes
Same, but they were well worth it

>>9189811
I agree with you. Even though you choose to use words like "nutted" my god.
Anyway... I think the help thread can be cosplay centric which can be a pain in the ass in that your comment could be ignored completely (this happens to me in so many help threads) or you just get trolled to death with stupid newfag shit or argument bait about wether or not someone is posting on topic.

I mean we could get all meta, but let's not.

>>9189487
Fuck off

>>9189840
no you, asshole. Not that other anon but why the fuck are you so hostile out of nowhere, huh? trying to blow some shit off on anons who didn't do nuffin?

fucking bitch.

>>9189657
That's not Spock, just some generic Vulcan woman.

>>9189811
If you're gonna pretend to respond on my behalf at least try to not type like an actual cringelord, thank you.

okay anon

>>9189840
There is no need to be upset

What kind of accessories are you guys looking for for Halloween coords this year?

I'm asking for.. Research purposes.

>>9189314
I've spent an entire day shopping for that perfect legwear for my halloween coord only to realize how stupid and pointless it is to spend $50+ on stuff I'll wear literally once in my life (because there's no way I'm repeating similar outfit next year) when I can get something way more universal.

Instead I'm just making myself some spoopy accessories so it feels less like a waste of resources. Sigh.

>>9189314

With the conversion rate for my country I ended up spending $200 on the antique beast witch hat... What the hell is wrong with me
>I could have gotten a second hand brand dress for the amount I spent on a freaking hat
>i dont even care because I've always really wanted a fancy witch hat

Any ideas on what to go as for halloween instead of the generic Witch, also don't want to venture into the ott costume lolita world

>>9190095
Whatever your heart desires, anon
Also this blog post has some ideas
http://www.parfaitdoll.com/2008/10/50-easy-halloween-costumes-for-lolita-chan.html

>>9189644
Too good

>>9189944
Because Spock is known for wearing the Enterprise on his head?

>>9189314
I kind of hate Halloween. It's not popular in my country at all, so I can't relate to the fuss about it and don't do Halloween coords. Autumn is always the time I stop buying lolita and drop cash on new otome releases though. Time to get comfy and buy dem jewel colour prints.

>>9190105
Because Spock is the only Vulcan on the USS Enterprise.

Anyways, back on topic, what are you/your comm's plans for Halloween, everyone?

Is there any way to rotate images on Lacemarket or fix images that are uploading rotated? My images are upright but LM is making them sideways and Im going crazy.

>>9190140
>Because Spock is the only Vulcan on the USS Enterprise.

But anon, that's wrong. He wasn't even the FIRST Vulcan on the Enterprise.

>>9190105
Kek

Does anyone know when IW typically updates their stock?

I usually check secondhand sites in the morning so I guess this popped up sometime during the night (and was no doubt sold immediately after).
Hold me gulls.

>>9190480
It was sold so quick you couldn't have messaged a SS anon.

>>9189361
As long as you're not posing with it for photos, having one in your purse in case you need it is fine.

>>9190095
Why not go as Alice or Red riding hood?

>>9190248
Usually on Fridays.

>>9190095
Get creative with subtle fandom lolita. I get tired of generic witch/vampire/pirate lolita pretty fast too.

>>9189854
Anon, calm your tits.

>>9190095
I'm doing a skeleton theme this year probably.

Anyone have a good longer length petticoat source? I'm getting a skirt that is ~71cm long and I'm sure that the ones I have for the more average length skirts will be too short.

>>9190095
Nurse lolita

>>9190743

Friendly reminder Chocolate Rosette MTO closes soon.

>>9190773
They're tacky as hell dude

>>9190827
You sound like no fun.

>>9190833
The majority of this board is no fun if you hadn't noticed senpai.

>>9190827
It's a Halloween coord, I think it's okay to relax for one day of your life.

Maybe I am being paranoid but has anyone else noticed the amount of listings on lacemarket that are from independent shops? Maybe I am being weird but I don't like the fact that they are selling on what is suppose to be a second hand market. I fear this may turn into paid promoted listings on lacemarket.

>>9190827
That's the point of the image though

>>9190846
If they list more than 3 items they're breaking the TOS

>>9190766
that's basically every guro lolita ever done

>>9190869
Should have worded that better, I mean accounts who sell multiple cuts and colorways out of asian countries that are set up almost like a taobao shopping service.

>>9190909
>looking at you souffle song

>>9190095
I'm stumped for ideas so I'm probably just going to do guro/broken doll. I'm not destroying a dress but I'm going to make myself look all broken

i'm very sorry about posting this in lolita general, but there's this pic i can't find of a guy and a girl wearing dolly kei that was posted on /cgl/ somewhat recently and it's one of my favourite japanese fashion pics ever... does anyone have the pic i'm talking about? sorry again, sage for ot

>>9190968
try help thread?

>>9190978
idk why i didn't think of that in the first place. ty

>>9190869
>>9190909

I agree, I also find it weird. Like Takoyaki and wunderwelt? They both have their own websites and an anon would have to be extremely new or a complete autist to not know of them/frequent them to find dresses

>having trouble with an FJ order
>7 hours left on dream dress auction
>turn to Japonica Market in desperation, had used them for an urgent order years ago
>45 mins left of business hours
>they process my order and place bids on both my items within 5 mins
bless you japonica, I don't even care that I have shipping discounts/points with FJ, you are my new waifu

>>9191391
I know this feel, Japonica is excellent. Good luck winning the auction (if it's still going), anon!

>>9191397
I'm the only bid, so fingers crossed! I'll probably get screwed over by customs/shipping on this order but I don't even care at this point, I'm just happy to get my hands on it

>>9191030
Those are both secondhand sellers. Please don't fuck up wunderwelt on Lacemarket, I always get good deals there.

>>9191030
Wunderwelt lists other items on Lacemarket though, usually hauls of smaller/damaged items for cheap, something you won't find on their main website.

>>9191414
>usually hauls of smaller/damaged items for cheap, something you won't find on their main website
Yep this. And their "damaged" items aren't always that bad, only one of my 8 "damaged" items had any visible issues, and most of them washed out.

>>9191030

Wunderwelt, Closet Child and Glass Forest (all of them are secondhand shops with their own sites) list regularly on yahoo!Japan. I don't really see it as being any different to list on lacemarket, though I guess someone can bring up to the lacemarket admin whether they want to start charging for shops/companies that want to list there instead of individuals.

For buyers, I'd actually argue that lacemarket gives you a leg up, provided the shops have read through the rules with any attention they'll realise buyers can leave bad feedback if the sellers back out of transactions. So theoretically buying through lacemarket means you have priority ahead of their own shop sites since backing out of a sale means bad feedback from a buyer.

>>9189657
That's not even lolita.

>>9191418
Eh, it depends. I bought a gorgoues Meta bag with very small defects for dirt cheap and I'm stalking their sales every week. But some things are really gross/really damaged.
Like pic related, I think this si simply too damaged. Also the whole sweat stained cutsews and dresses gross me out. The heavily scuffed shoes are pretty borderline as well.

>>9191470
I have bought bags like this super cheap locally (10-15€) because you don't have to care about damaging them. I'm always too worried about bags in better condition to carry my school stuff in them, for example. But with international shipping I wouldn't bother either.

When measuring for a custom petticoat (my old CP ones seem too short for recent BABY purchases) do you measure just the skirt length of your JSK or do you add/remove a few cm ?

How long does the Lolita Collective take to ship? I ordered 12 days ago and I'm pretty annoyed that they haven't shipped anything yet when their site says it takes 2-3 days to process. I've never seen bad feedback on them so I had good expectations, but this situation is really disappointing.

Hello, gals!
I wear lolita for almost three years, but never be active in internet comms. This summer I was trying to make friends in one local chat but failed. I'm not mean or something like this, however people don't like me or just don't see me or don't find me interesting, I dunno. So I thought may be if I become a little more famous as a lolita, someone will want to get along with me. And the question is how to become e-famous lolita? Should I just post coords in instagram or contribute to some tumblr blogs? Not for drama just for making friends

>>9191706
How long have you been trying to make friends, anon? The best way is to just keep trying. No one really is friends with efamous lolitas unless they were friends before, because people are too shy/scared to approach them. Just keep at it!

>>9191706
Tbh if your mindset is I need to get famous for attention, the reason you struggle to get friends is ppl can feel it. No one wants to befriend those who seem to want to get something out of you.

>>9191752
I want to get along with some people with the same as mine hobby and aesthetic. Just to chat, make fun and discuss something. I tired of being lonely.
>>9191714
I used to be a very shy person and it's really hard for me to start a conversation with someone. And it's really rare situation when somebody start talking with me. Thank you!

>>9191706
Becoming e famous will net you less friends.
Just be you.
Take an interest in other people, offer to help the host of a meet with set up. Be the host of a meet and show whomever comes a really good time.
Interpersonal relationships get built one interaction at a time, so if you give up after only seeing people two or three times, you aren't doing enough to make a good impression.

>>9190784
So happy I held out for all these years and never paid scalper prices for the salopette and socks. Feels good man.

>>9191807
Exactly how I feel. Got the Navy set

>>9191787
I used to think that everyone want to chat and be friends with famous lolitas. Sorry for silly me

>>9191706

I dont know why but the way you write really makes me think English isnt your first language. Not that its a bad thing or your English is bad anon, just a random thought.
Have you been around cgl long enough to see a cgl-friend thread when they go up? Ive talked to some nice girls through those threads and have made a really close lolita friend through it as well. We've been friends for 2 years now

>>9191837
Thank you for your advice!
Actually, English isn't my native language, so I often look only at pics and don't read text here (I stopped learning English more than 7 years ago when graduated from highschool)

>>9191656

I've ordered from them before and only had an issue when they were packing for a con or something but sending a message cleared it up pretty quick. They sent my package that same day.

I'd email them and ask what's up if I were you.

>>9191829
Rather than complaining that people don't talk to you, I'm saying you should take an active role in making connections with people.
I thought you wanted friends, silly me.

>>9191864
Sorry if I sounded sarcastic, I don't want my words be mean.
I really don't have a lot of social link experince. I'm always afraid of being intrusive.
Well, if all I need is try again to communicate with my local comm then I'll do it.
Thanks for everyone!

>>9191781
Same for me, but you just have to keep trying. I'm not part of a comm yet but when I am I want to be able to make friends immediately and I know it's not like that

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I ordered a Rosy Night's Masquerade skirt from Baby's Japanese site and my order is confirmed and paid for, but I still haven't gotten a shipping notice and I'm starting to get a little worried. Is this unusual? At what point do I try and bother them about it?

>>9190047
Are you trying to find things to sell? Make OTT shit like pumpkin/bat scepters and LED fairy wings. Personally I'd like to see lolita treat baskets.

>>9190047
Different themed bat wings or horns. Id pay out my ass for some kawaii Galaxy bat wings

>>9191505
2-3 inches shorter than the dress hem or else it will peek out

>>9191978
give it 72 hours unless otherwise stated somewhere on the site about a delay. if you dont like being pushy give it a week

Gulls, I've tried to get into wearing lolita about 6 years ago, now I'd like to have another go. I want to get a good main piece (jsk or op) that will be easy to wear and try out a number of different coords with. What features should I be looking for? What dresses have you found to be the most versatile?

>>9192084
What style? If you want to coord it a number of different ways don't get an OP you nitwit. It really sounds like you've never been into Lolita if you have absolute no clue on anything like this.

>>9192088
Well yeah that's exactly what I stated in my post anon so.....?
Would be leaning towards toned down sweet/classic probably

>>9192101
You said you tried getting into it 6 years ago, that implies at least SOME knowledge. We aren't here to spoon feed you, lurk and see how to coord first and then decide on a good starting piece.

>>9192084
Solid color JSKs I've found the most use for. It does depend on the style yes, but for example a sweet black jsk can be used in many ways!

>>9191978
Monday was a holiday in Japan, so post offices were closed. It will probably ship soon.

>>9192084
>>9192101
I mean, I think a nice cheap solid print skirt in the color of your choice is unbeatable for versatility. If something happens where you stop again, you can easily meld it into a normal wardrobe if you can't sell it.

What kinds of treats and favors would you like to see in a goodiebag at a meet? I'd like to put some together for my comm at the end of October, but am kind of lost on what to put in without it being childish or too expensive.

>>9192084
Based on what you have said I would recommend getting a simple innocent world jsk. Either floral/all over or solid colour. You can pull out the different colours of florals, or add your own to a solid piece. Plus they're basic enough that they can be worked in to a "normie" wardrobe as well.

>>9192253
Weeb snacks are pretty cute and don't have to be super expensive - I know the local asian market you can get a large box of pocky or those delicious panda cookie things for a reasonable price that has at least 10 packets in the box.

Or you could get some basic truffles or something, it doesn't need to be Godiva. A black tea bag or two that might pair well with the truffle would be fun too.

Also, get you some cheap ass floral/sweets/etc cabochons (you can even find some of these in the scrapbooking section of crafts stores if you don't want to order online) and epoxy that shit on a ring base or something. If you're willing to get a bit craftier I think some small and simple ribbon/floral hair combs can be pretty cheap to make and have mass appeal.

I dunno, but now I kind of want to do this too.

>>9192084
I think sweet-classic prints with three colors are the most versatile. Or pick one that has black, white, and other colors, and that gives you at least two different ways to coord instantly (all black otherwise, all white, not to mention working with the other colors in accessories)

>>9192324
These are good suggestions. I like getting sticker flakes since they're cheap, cute, and can easily get in bulk. If you're crafty, you can get a sticker maker and make stickers out of cute lolita related illustrations.

If you don't live near an Asian market or the one nearby doesn't sell "fun" sized candies, you can always buy them on Amazon or get candies from Party City - they sell individual pieces for pretty cheap, you can get the exact amount for each bag instead of dealing with a shitload of uneaten candy from bulk bags.

Is there a theme for your meet? You can always base goodies off of that.

>>9192253

It's Halloween, so I think you can't really go wrong with chocolates and Halloween-themed sweets, plus most Halloween candy comes prepackaged into smaller pieces/packs so you can buy large bags at some place like Costco and then split them up, if you have a lot of girls coming. Most people appreciate the variety rather than being gifted with one large box of something they may not like.

If you don't have/like Halloween candy, then you can buy large boxes of chocolates/snacks, and split them up yourself, put the snacks into smaller individual giftbags. For most lolitas, as long as the packaging is cute, the food inside doesn't need to be expensive. Chocolate tends to be universally liked, you could throw in some cute biscuits or sweets as well.

If you don't feel like making your own favors, you can try looking on Aliexpress or eBay for wholesale lots with free shipping. Look for the grosgrain hair bows, most girls are ok with those. Most of the jewelry are rather small, but some rings with adjustable backs might work.

If you're making your own favors, you can up the notch by customising it to the event, for eg, if you do photo cabochons, you can use a cute graphic, then add "Halloween 2016" or "October 2016" on the graphic before printing it out and turning it into a ring/pendant.

I like putting together little bags of Halloween treats for October meetups, but my family's going abroad this year so I'll be missing the Halloween meetups. Kinda excite for the trip but also sad to be missing Halloween.

>>9192574
Forgot to mention that tea bags are nice too. You can buy loose leaf to put in jewelry bags or bagged variety.

I remember a long time ago, someone made scented sachets shaped like tea bags using cute scraps of fabric.

>>9192084

>easy to wear and try out a number of different coords with

- a jsk
- in your size/fits you/suits your bodytype. If you need to always cover up with a bolero or always need an underskirt (for eg) then that alone cuts down on the number of things you can do with it.
- suits your skin tone -- figure out what season you are and what colours suits your skin tone.

That should already cut down on a lot of your choices. Don't break these rules, especially if you're only getting one dress, don't give yourself problems having to work around a dress that doesn't suit you.

The other two are a bit of a trade-off:
- not a popular/memorable print
- a dress with simple construction, or at least most of the pieces are removable.

Most newbies seem to want to start with a bang, so they'll buy a dress that's a popular print. Yes, people are going to take notice, in fact, they'll be waiting for you to top your first outfit with something better. And if you can't afford another dress for a while, they're going to remember you as the girl with only one dress. Better to buy a dress no one can recognise/remember, have little to no attention starting out, and then you can pump out a half dozen coords with that one single dress before anyone even notices you exist, much less that you only own one dress.

A dress with simple construction is generally much harder to dress up OTT, there's a point where it comes across as tryhard and tacky-looking, like Misty Sky with a lace peignoir and antlers is mostly going to get eyerolls. But, OTT events are really rare, and you can still attend them without going full OTT (you'll just get less attention). So, a simple dress that you can dress down by throwing a cardi over it to go shopping with your friends on weekends, and then dress up by adding a princess sleeve blouse and accessories to go to a lolita event, is going to get more use than a fancy dress you can only wear to either fancy events or fancier events.

>>9192084
I've heard so many girls rave about the versatility of Gathered Chiffon. I would love to snag one for myself, but I'll have to wait a few releases for their incrementally expanding bust size to reach my measurements.

I have AP's Lady Pleats in black, I wear it all the freaking time, I didn't expect it to be such a useful piece until I got it/ I came to realize that it goes with literally everything I own.
If you want versatility, go for pieces you can see crossing boundaries between the substyles, that way you can put your wardrobe in whatever the hell direction you want to and you'll still have stuff that works together.

Has anyone ever done a Glinda inspired coord? It would be easy and cute, imo. If it hasn't been done, one of you gulls should do it.

It's been 5 days and no contact from a seller after winning an auction. Her terms of sale specifically state I have 3 days to get in touch with her to get the item, how much longer should I wait for her to get in touch with me before filing a report on LM?

>>9192941
This is the best one I could with a cursory search. I'd be excited to see someone do Glinda with one of AP's lacemonsters.

Just got Rosy Night Masquerade in the mail. I dont often buy Baby dresses but I was in love with the print on this one.
I forgot since I had previously sold my other Baby dresses that it bugs me they dont do a lining inside their dress plus the waist ties aren't double sided. I still love it but god damn it baby, at least double side the waist ties.

Semi related topic. I got the red colorway and this is my first time owning a dress with any red. On a scale of 1 - ur fucked, how do I wash this dress without insane bleeding onto the white details? Pray constantly to mana sama over the washing machine?

>>9193100
ur fucked

>>9192941
I've thought of it, especially since I'm going to a witch themed halloween meet but dont own anything spoopy at all and would rather be a little more than a basic bitch in a black dress.

>>9193069
>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
Low poof a-line usually.

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
I dunno, I care about some rules and don't care about others.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
Change up as much as I can.

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
nah

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
AP skirt since I am too tall to wear it.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Repair.

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
salopettes: 1 because I'm too tall for them
twin tail wigs: 1
chiffon blouses: 8 some are good some are shitty
satin dresses: 4

>>9193069
>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
Bell with a weak poof. I find that empire waists look odd if the petticoat is really big because you get a segment of skirt between your underbust and your waist that isn't supported by a petticoat and it kind of sags like what happens with party city disney princess gowns.

>>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
Stickler, definitely. I don't see the "rules" so much as stifling as a set of parameters where as long as you stay within the lines you can go as batshit crazy as you want and it's still fine.

>>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
Refine, I like consistency.

>>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I'll put on a layer of clear or pink for big occasions, but otherwise my nails are bare.

>>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I bought an AatP eyepatch on a whim once because it was cheap and I thought it was cute.Which was a stupid idea because I had nothing to wear with it and I wear glasses so it's not like I could ever use it and I had nobody to gift it to either because all my friends are sweet.

>>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Repair.

Something secondhand that was damaged and I thought I would fix it but I'm too lazy
>>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
I would want to replace but my favourite dresses are really hard to find
>>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
salopettes 1
twin tail wigs 1 (I hate wigs but I like twin tails with lolita)
chiffon blouses 5
satin dresses 1

>>9193100
Ur fucked better don't get it dirty or wet.

>>9193100
handwash ties first, cold water, color catcher etc. if the red runs on the waistties, don't ever let the dress touch water obviously. instead you could also see if steaming works if you want to keep it at leas a bit fresh. again test on waistties first. I believe vinegar helps against smells too? idk.

>>9193100
dump a bunch of color catcher sheets in a washload with just the red dress, icy cold water and detergent for colour catch. very gentle cycle.
check it before doing a second rinse, and if it hasnt bled at all pink onto the white, add a cup of vinegar to the rinse to seal in the colour
good luck

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses.
I just saw a post on CoF defending shiny and satin lolita dresses. This is never ok.

>>9193069
>>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?

even though the internet says empire should be fine on my petite body, I always find myself to look preggers, so no empire waist for me.

>>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?

pretty much rule stickler, especially when it comes to color matching. I don't have many prints, so I don't have to be matchy matchy on prints.

>>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?

neither really. I pretty much try on what looks best and I'm pretty often repeating outfits.

>>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?

nope. my nails are bare (but clean), any time I tried nailpolish, it bladders within at least a day. too much hassle.

>>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?

Meta twinkle journey op, first release. meta OP's do not fit properly on my tiny body. JSKs and skirts though are an easier fix

>>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?

repair. pros of sewing.

>>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.

salopettes 5, twin tail wigs (or any wigs at all to wear) 3, chiffon blouses 7, satin dresses 1 (taft is acceptable though, or any dress that looks decent enough and doesn't have an extreme shine to it)

>>9193069
>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?

I use one of AP's organza pettis. Works like a dream on basically anything bell shaped. I tend to wear it at my natural waist.

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?

Definitely a stickler. I don't think the rules hinder creativity at all since there's a lot you can do while still following them.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?

I try to make a new coord every time I wear something, but I do have some favorites I let myself come back to from time to time.

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?

I don't do nail art, but they're always a solid color that matches my coord. Always.

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?

I have a pair of AP tea parties whose pleather started to flake off after one wear. They're the only brand shoe fail I've encountered, but they sure were a major one.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?

All of the above.

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.

Salopettes: 5/10
Twin tail wigs: 1/10
Chiffon blouses: 10/10
Satin dresses: 4/10

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?

A small A-line Petti, bell shapes always make you look weird.

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?

Stickler, because I'm not creative enough to be a breaker.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?

Both.

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?

Sometimes a put clear nailpolish on but that's about it.

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?

Heanuli Princess Jellyfish JSK. I waited so long and spent so much money on it (thanks european customs) but it just looks wrong on me. Everything is too long. Worst thing: I knew this was gonna happen, but bought it anyways.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?

Try to repair and then despair.

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.

salopettes 9
twin tail wigs 6 (highly depends on the wig quality and the overall coord)

That's because it is a designer who makes runway stuff and it isn't Lolita. Put two abs two together.

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
I don't

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
It depends on the day

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
I like trying new things, but sometimes a good coord makes a repeat appearance

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I'll paint them sometimes, but mostly I just keep them clean and neat. For a more formal thing I'll wear fancy press ons.

Salos-3
Twin tails-3
Chiffon blouses-8
Satin-7

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
I have one empire-esque waits dress. I wear a malco modes Jennifer at my natural waist to give it the right amount of poof.

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
The longer I lurk and learn, the more I see the rules like an ethical code, follow them and no one will have a reason to be mad at you. You can have fun within the 'rules' and still A: be lolita and B: have fun.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
I have very versatile pieces in my wardrobe, so I often use the same pieces, but I have not yet repeated the same full coord yet. Looking at my future buy potential, I expect that I will continue down this path for at least another year, freshening things with single pieces here and there, but I have nothing against wearing the same coordinate again if I have a good reason or opportunity.

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I gave myself a mani and went natural with a clear gloss the last couple of times I was going out for a meet. I want to pick up cute gloves soon, because between a manual labor heavy job and my weak nails, it's been better to keep them quick short.

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I regret nothing. Second hand has given me some grief, but no real regrets.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Repair, despair. My Macross set got a small pull from a tack when I leaned over a display table. I haven't looked into how to do it yet, but as soon as I do I'll be repairing the pull.

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
Salo= 5
Twin tails= 5
Chiffon blouses= 10

5 is no preference.

I try to stick to the rules and just take a few minor risks.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?

I wear gloves with most my coords so there isn't really a need.

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?

Maleficent Chiffon JSK. Impulse buy and looked terrible on me. It came to me with damaged loops too, the last owner had either overstretched the shirring or pulled on the ribbon too hard. I sold it pretty much immediately.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?

Repair if possible. Despair if not.

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.

It is a JP brand that only cares about JP. At one point, all of your favorite lolita brands were the same way. If they still had the same customer dynamic as they did back in the day, they would have never changed.

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
Don't own any.

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
I always have a petticoat, socks, headwear, etc but I don't really care if someone bends the rules, especially if you live in a literal desert like I do. I'd like to see some experimentation.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
Change it up. I need more accessories for my 'ideal' coords but instead I throw all my cash at main pieces.

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I recently started getting gel nails, and I try to choose neutral colors so that they can match any coord. Though right now they're Sailor Moon themed because I'm trash.

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I drown in BTSSB Rococo Floria. Corsetting and waist ties fix the waist area, but it gapes at the bust because of my narrow ribcage and nonexistent titties. At least it was cheap.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Despair. I'd like to say I'd repair it, but no. I have a dress I snagged the first wear out and I was so sad that I hid it away.. which it's been doing for over a year.

salopette = 10 (they're cute fuck you. Sugar Dream Dome salopette is A++)
twin tail wigs = 6 (they need to be small tails and not split colored)

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
I do, but those I have are more otome so I sometimes wear them without petticoat. When I do use a petti, I use rather small one at my natural waist. If the petti is not vug it doesn't really matter if it's bell or A.
>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
Definitely sticker. My personal preferences just happen to fit well to tge rules but I wouldn't be afraid to break them if I felt like it.
>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
I try to always change something but I see nothing bad in wearing a good coord multiple times.
>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I just keep them clean and good looking. For events I sometimes do nailpolish.
>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I don't think I have made any regrettable purchases.
>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Definitely try to repair but depending on the damage and the price of the garment I could also buy a second one.

Salopettes: 5, twin tail wigs: 3, chiffon blouses: 6, satin dresses: 2

>>9193228

It's actually not an uncommon material. Off the top of my head:

Angelic Pretty: Belle Epoque Rose jsk
AatP: Beauty and the Rose Promise
Moitie: Stained Glass, Harpsichord trio

plus Atelier Pierrot and Millefleur sometimes get bored of making their corset dresses in tafetta and switch to satin, and some of the brands do occassionally make satin blouses (this one from IW is still available: http://innocent-w.jp/onlineshop/en/154106.html ).

The issue is moreso that most of the brands use nice satin with a gorgeous sheen that photographs beautifully (think expensive, high-end bridal satin), but indie brands and homemade lolitas will often use cheap, shiny satin, which is the part that's really not ok.

>>9194191
Not that anon but it was a bodyline jsk

>>9194192

That puts a different spin on things. I'm not even sure which dress it was, but yeah, just the three words together don't sound okay.

Please spoonfeed me, no stupid questions thread and never order from AP. Will Magic Amulet be released in the USA online store?

>>9194435
No.

>>9194435
Unfortunately not.

>>9194440
>>9194442
APpreciate it, anons.

Can anyone who owns the tiered Petit Patisserie JSK tell me what the max measurements are? Lolibrary is pretty vague and since it's an older release I fear it might be quite small for my bust.

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
Yes, I combine 2 A-Line petticoats (a shorter and a longer one)
>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
I don't really care about rules per say. When I'm attending meets or wearing anything I intend to take pictures of, I generally stick to the rules. When I'm casually going out on my own I just wear what I'm feeling comfortable with. And that sometimes means no blouse or petti etc.
>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
I have a certain aesthetic that I'm generally sticking onto, so there are a lot of repeating elements in my coords. I also like to re-use the same coords, I wouldn't be able to come up with something different for every single day. Only for special events I try to do something completely new.
>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I don't like nail paint in my daily life. I only use it for more fancy outfits and even then it's simple.
>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I only regret not buying certain dresses when I had the chance to.
>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Depends on the damage, but I usually try to repair it or sell it for cheap to make room in my wardrobe for something new.
>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
salopettes = 4
twin tail wigs = -100
chiffon blouses = 9
satin dresses = 3

Closet Child sent me a refund. Paypal sent me an email saying it would be refunded to the card I paid with. However I have checked my bank account and it has been over 24 hours, the money did not show up.
Has anyone had this problem? How can I get my money?

>>9194618
Stuff like this can take anywhere from 24-72 hours to show up in your bank. Calm your tits.

>>9194442
Wait what, why? I must have missed something. It hasn't even sold out on the JP store yet.

>>9194631
>being this stupid

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
Yes. A small A-line petti to add a little floof
>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
Not a stickler but I think that if you break too many rules it's not lolita anymore. I'm okay with cute ankle socks/showing knee if it looks nice, for example.
>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
Newer pieces I work on refining, but ones I've had for a while I utilize in new ways.
>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
My nails are always painted. I've never been to a Lolita meet, but I still get my nails done sometimes if I want to feel like the whole package.
>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I'm okay with all of my purchases. I just wish that Dreamy Baby Room wasn't taken over by ageplayers because I seriously love that print and the detailing on the JSK.
>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Attempt a repair. I got a hole in something and pulled a Kamikaze Girls, embroidering a little motif to cover it up. No regrets.
>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
salopettes: 6 (most have skirts that are too short)
twin tail wigs: 1
chiffon blouses: 9
satin dresses: 3

>>9190095
If it's a meetup rather than an unrelated Halloween event, vampires, Victorian ghosts, creepy porcelain dolls, (beheaded) Marie Antoinette, nurse, guro, pirate, demon horns, Alice in Wonderland and Red Riding Hood are all safe choices that are easy to ensure look lolita enough for a meet without seeming too much like an unrelated costume. If you want something more creative you're going to have to think of it yourself using your own closet.

I'm feeling pretty shitty this year because I didn't manage to make a decent coordinate for Halloween. I was a witch last year and decided back then that I wanted to be either a vampire or a ghost this year, but I haven't seen any of the wishlist pieces I wanted that were suitable for the theme for sale, or got any of the make-up-related peripherals I'd need, and it's basically too late to order now and I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>9193069
>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
Sometimes. Petticoat depends on the cut of the dress in question - I have toned-down a-line empire-waist dresses, and ones designed for huge bell-shaped poof.
>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
In between. I'm not particularly creative or special and I like to follow the rules, but I'm not going to get my bloomers in a bunch if a shade doesn't match.
>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
Unless it's an OTT piece I can only wear to huge events, I tend to do 4-5 coords with the same dress.
>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
No, my nails are horrible. On formal occasions I sometimes wear gloves.
>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
Regret not the purchases you made but those you didn't. I was around when Gloria came out, didn't realise how popular and rare it would become, and still regret it.
>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Despair, put off the repair for six months because I don't trust a normal tailor with it, and eventually pay out the ass to get it fixed.
>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
Salopettes = 2
Twin tail wigs = 5
Chiffon blouses = 7
Satin dresses = 2

>Do you wear empire waist dresses, and if so, what type of petticoat do you prefer to wear underneath?
No. They would look terrible with my chest.

>Are you a rule breaker or a rules stickler when it comes to coordinates?
Probably more of a rules stickler.

>Do you like to change up your coordinates entirely or do you prefer to refine your best co-ord ideas?
Change up. I want to wear things with other items I haven't paired it up with yet.

>Do you do anything special for your nails when you wear Lolita casually? What about on Lolita occasions you consider formal?
I used to wear deco nails with my outfit, but I'm a serial almost late person so I never have time to put any on. Plus I usually don't feel like messing with them after finally getting ready.

And I never wear casual lolita.

>What brand purchase do you regret most and why?
I can't think of any.

>Your favorite piece becomes slightly damaged. Do you repair, replace, or despair?
Try to repair.

>Rate your feelings about salopettes, twin tail wigs, chiffon blouses, and satin dresses. 1 = hate and 10 = love.
Salopettes: 4
Twin Tail Wigs: 2
Chiffon Blouses: 10
Satin Dresses: 5

Hi guys! I have what may be a silly question.

You know that thick, textured woven cotton that some printed BTSSB dresses are made of? Is there a special name for it besides just normal cotton?

Working on a project where I need fabric similar to what they are made of. Thank you, and I'm sorry for being vague or stupid!

>>9194638
Do they not participate in halloween releases or something?
I don't buy from from apusa, but I'm curious and obviously there isn't anything on their site about it.

>>9194912
Once again

>being this stupid

So this is the stupidest purchase I've ever made. I was shopping late at night and I decided to get a little Usakumya so I could have a little pouchette to put my phone in for meets and stuff. I misread the dimensions and ended up with pic related (PS4 controller for scale). I bought a bag for dolls. I can a fit like a penny in there at most.

>>9194920
Awww. I have one of those, it's cute for attaching to real bags

>>9190748
You get get a custom length from MeLikesTea if you need something with actual poof for it.

>>9194915
Lol more like you don't have an answer.

>>9194951
You really are retarded aren't you?

>>9194951
The joke is that they do and you're too dumb to see that anons were lying.

>>9194920
please tell me youre going to use it as a ps4 controller cover ?

>>9194920
Aim for a Usakumya Pochette next time. Or better yet, just collect them all!

>>9194957
>>9194958
No I'm calling bullshit.
This is just the usual excuse of "no spoonfeeding!!" meme.

Like I said, I don't buy from the ap USA site. I'm just curious as to why they wouldn't release the dress later on like they do with all other releases?
Is magic amulet a special release? I thought it was a normal release.

>>9194967
You really are magnificently idiotic. They WILL release it, anons were trolling.

>>9194971
They could've just said so instead of "trolling". This conversation could've been over already.

>>9194967
Anon, stop.

>>9194973
If you weren't such an Autist you would have known.

>>9194920
Hopefully you didn't pay too much. I know of a girl who paid $200+ for a full-size Usakumya only to get your version.

Is it weird if I'm considering testing the water, as far as Lolita goes? I'm 18 and mostly a Spank! Enthusiast but have been lurking for quite a while; I'm well acquainted with the basics, my personal tastes, and even spot people wearing Lolita around the bay area quite often! I incorporate brand into my fairy kei coords-- specifically Angelic Pretty's salopettes, purses and jewelry.
I have a lot of anxiety about attracting attention to myself but I can't help but feel so happy wearing brand and bright things in general. I suppose my problem is kind of personal and honestly I'm seeking both reassurance and honest opinion about where to go from here-- is it acceptable if I start off with simple coords with skirts + blouses and kind of work up from there? I certainly don't plan to tote myself as some kind of important Lolita figure at pretty much any time.. But is it laughable or unworth it to even pursue an attempt at the fashion? Is it an all or nothing kind of thing? Should I go all in or bust?

Sorry gulls. I'm super insecure. 6/10 face on a good day.. Afraid I won't be able to make friends..blah blah blah. Yada yada yada.

>>9194985
and the blog post was necessary because?

>>9194974
>iphone poster telling someone to stop

>>9194975
I'm the not the original anon who posted. I'm the other one that keeps stating that I don't even buy from the AP USA site and that I know that they get released on the original site first and released on the USA site later on.
You guys made it sound like they weren't releasing it ever and that you had some super special secret when actually you lack all kinds of knowledge apparently.

Like oh wow, you're sooooo trolling.

>>9194985
First of all, why would you want reassurance from these bitches?
Second, just wear what you want. I don't get how you're worried about attracting attention when you already wear something like fairy kei? When I wear fairy kei I get just as much attention as I do in lolita. Sweet or not.

And it sounds like you already have brand? So wear it as lolita instead?

Also maybe you shoulda posted this in the feels thread. Gulls are just gonna get their panties in a twist here.

>>9194993
Completely OT but that coord is all different kinds of awful.

>>9195002
Fine to me, what's your issue?
It matches and is cute.

>inb4 well you just have shit taste and my taste is superiour
>followed by convenient excuses for not posting what your actual tastes are or something that you wore that was better

>>9194992
>being this buttmad

>>9194992
Agreed. I'm so fucking tired of drawn out "no spoonfeeding" too. If you really think a question is shitting up the board, report the post. No one gives a shit that you've been on cgl for a decade and can tell how new they are.

>>9194920
lol, It's big enough for a phone... would need to be modified though.

>>9195003
Wow someone got defensive real fast.
>blouse is ill-fitted and looks like a warm-toned white instead of a cool white like the white on the skirt
>pairing a fancy borderline-OTT blouse with a toned down cutesy print
>"underskirt" looks like some random white skirt slapped underneath for length
>waist ribbon is sloppily tied and bunched up to the side
>random shoehorned feather

And this is personal preference more than anything, but why silver shoes but no other prominent silver accents?

>>9194985
...what was the point of this post again? you live in the bay area, not the middle of nowhere. my best advice is to stop flattering yourself and know that passersby don't give a damn about you or your salopettes. wear whatever you want.

>>9195010
Please read >>9194435 again and tell me why we shouldn't troll them. This question is almost as easy to answer as 'Do I need a petticoat?'. Actually I think with the phrasing (and the fact that you can get it on the jp site cheaper) I think anon was a troll to begin with.
I'll gladly spoonfeed other anons but sometimes you need to stop.

>>9193250
If you find out that they do, please share. I love Alice Auaa and most of their stuff is very small.

>>9195029
You don't always need a petti though - sack dresses sometimes look better with out them.

>>9195020
That blouse is not ill fitted, it has full frontal shirring. You're blind.

I like the underskirt because it's sheer and it's like when people use peignoirs for misty sky which is pretty common.

Also, are we looking at the same picture? the waist ribbon isn't visible? Where are you getting this?

Are you talking about the belt thing going on? Again, it's the shirring underneath doing that.

And like I called it, you failed to provide any proof (like always) of what you think is better or something that you actually put together.

Shit talker.

It's not Lolita if you don't have a petticoat.

>being so new you don't understand the silhouette

>>9195039
>MUH SILHOUETTE

there was a thread awhile back about people wearing lolita without pettis because they were daily lolitas? Lots of people were defending the fuck out of it.

>>9194618

I had a refund not show up in my bank statement for a month.

Turns out it was a shit bank that said the card company was taking their time. In reality the bank held on to my money and converted the currency at the lowest point in the month, costing me like $50 for the refund. I ditched the card, and then the bank shortly after that.

>>9195043

>>9195036

Even if they do, then it's not lolita anymore. Plain and simple as that. You need at least some mild poof (which is where newfags become annoying because they fail to recognize very poor poof vs no poof at all).

That being said sack dresses just don't look good in general unless you're thin with no boobs to speak of.

>>9195050
Okay well explain all the daily lolitas in that thread talking about how it's still definitely lolita even if they don't have their petti on.

>>9195050
Report and ignore. It's clearly a troll if they say you don't need the silhouette.

>>9195049
>>9195048
Seagulls are such redundant little shit stains.

>>9195052
I'm a daily Lolita and I wouldn't call it Lolita if I wasn't wearing a petticoat. Even a deflated one helps to give poof.

>>9195055
>being this mad people are pointing out you know nothing about Lolita

>>9195054
>I DISAGREE SO IT MUST BE BAIT
No one has yet to explain that thread, either. Bet you can't do it.

>>9194906
On the site it's referred to as "baniran" and there doesn't seem to be an english equivalent. Googling バニラン brings up other cottons with that texture.

>>9194906

I think I've seen that listed as Baniran cotton.

The closest I've come to it in a fabric store is cotton crepe, if you can't find Baniran.

I'd link the rules & regulation thread, but, you'd probably just ignore that too and keep saying you're just so right about this.

>>9195065
HWC please tell your husband he needs to slap you more often so you know to shut up.

>>9195067
>people shitposting about basic Lolita knowledge isn't report worthy

What the fuck with this thread tonight.

>>9195069
>just resorting to calling everyone HWC
I'm not talking about taking giant cocks into my mouth, nor am I posting about kawaii goods and do I need mention this isn't the fucking menhera thread?

>>9195066
Already said I know about the silhouette.

>>9195074
HWC is trying to troll saying petticoats are optional

>>9195036
Having full shirring doesn't automatically make it not ill-fitted. The bust is literally sagging because there is too much fabric in the front. The underskirt would've been fine if it were shorter and ruffled so it actually looked like a proper underskirt, but it's just a random gathered skirt underneath and it's not even sheer enough to give it the airy effect that peignoirs are supposed to give.

And I'd be more than happy to oblige with something that I like. The whites don't match perfectly but at least the tones are all warm.

>>9195075
>not knowing HWC is most fond of shitting up the Lolita general

So you ARE new? Once she got us to argue over nail polish for 6 fucking hours.

>>9195072
It's about lolita. If anything you're just abusing the report button. You're the one breaking the rules. I'm actually trying to discuss this which is why I'm using full sentences here.
Yet everyone just wants to yell bait because actually discussing this would be too hard for you guys because it's more than just spouting a meme.

>>9195079
If everyone is accusing you of being b8 did it occur to you the questions you are asking are really fucking stupid?

>>9195076
Again, I think it's pretty obvious that English is actually my first language.
She usually has one word responses.

>>9195077
>>9195077
Thank you, literally everyone else was trolling. Good lord. Why is it so hard to reply like a normal human being for everyone else?

>>9195080
A lot of the posts look very same fag, though.

>>9195078
I missed this? Also I've never seen her do anything more than "GO DRINK BLEACH HURRR" and "I SLOB ON MY HUSBANDS KNOB ALL NIGHT BET UR A FAT ITA UGGU"

I'm typing out fucking full paragraphs. She never does that.

>>9195081
HWC doesn't have one word responses, she types in broken up English in a way that's typical of Japanese people who learned English as a second language to type. If you see a post that is formatted like


"lol ur gay

why are you so fat?

my husband is the bestest ever"

That's her.

>>9195043
>>9195052

Certain AP dresses, EE dresses and some random other brand's dresses have a built-in petti, so when people say they forego the petticoat, that's because their dress already has one built into it.

Certain cuts and fabrics kind of hold a flared shape even without a petti. Cottton twill skirts tend to be quite poofy on their own even without a petti. Ditto flared skirts, such as A-line skirts and circle skirts. You don't particularly need the petti when the skirt makes a small poof on their own.

Almost everything else looks better with a low poof petticoat though. This coming from someone who uses lolita in non lolita coords, limp rectangle skirts generally look like ass on every body type.

>>9195061
>>9195063
Thanks, guys!

>>9195083
Her English skills are still obviously ESL but she's improving to the point where she can start arguments over something other than calling people fat/ugly.

>all this talking about me


I'm flattered

>>9194906
>>9195063
Texture-wise I've heard people compare it to dupioni, so maybe try asking store people if they carry cotton weaves with a dupioni-like texture maybe?

It's your own faults. Stop talking about her every five minutes.

>>9195111
That's what I mean! Someone always says it and then bam we're where we are now.

>>9195089
No, she's still pretty awful. Regardless of how much her English improves --- I doubt she'd ever get past her meme tier humor.

>>9195126
teach me english then

maybe one day I can be as much of a no fun faggot as you with my typing

Does anyone know what is up with Little Star on Tictail? I placed an order with them about a month ago and the store seems to be gone now. How fucked am I?

>>9195139
I could, but you're too much of a little pussy to actually post a throwaway email.

Tell your husband to buy you a copy of rosetta stone since he has so much money.

>>9195142
if I posted a throw away email do you know what would happen?

I already have a stalker

even though she's a massive vagina and won't actually do anything because her crush on my husband is so strong

>>9195147
>I already have a stalker
No you don't. That was you taking your trip off and here you are trying to set up that lame bit again cause you never have new material.

Also, like I said, if your life is so amazing as you claim, go pick up a copy of rosetta some for a nice $179. That's like pocket change to you right?
Oh sorry, here's that price yen: 18181.92

>>9195155

>>9195155
your paranoia when coming up with stories about me is impressive

>>9195161
Post pics of her then.

Also learn what being skeptical means, then compare it to the definition of paranoid.

Is it no longer possible to sort the results on Lacemarket? For example, I'd like to sort the results by "created date". But I can't seem to get the option to work in either Firefox, Chrome, or Opera. I can't sort the results by price either. Is anyone else having this issue?

I have been advised to wear a cageskirt under my really heavy dress, instead of a petti, on the mentoring fb group. But after making some quick research on cageskirts, i found a lot of people saying that they should not be used instead of petticoats, that their frame will be showing if you don't wear an extra layer, or that they are uncomfortable.

So i really don't know about that. I'm new and i only have a shitty petti than i'm planning to replace either by a bunny house petti or a cageskirt.

>>9195141
They seemed shady. I messaged them once asking about release ready to pay. They had couple of days, I informed them what I wanted and that I was ready to pay and they got back to me after the dress was sold out? I was fucking pissed.

>>9195222
Not instead of a petti, anon, but rather UNDER a petti. The petticoat will smooth out the cage so that it isn't visible under the skirt, but the cage will help support the petticoat so that the weight of the skirt doesn't make it collapse in on itself.

They're definitely not comfortable for long periods of sitting though.

>>9195141
They are bad news bears just fyi. My friend had to practically threaten them to get her stuff. They also would "misplace" things of hers. Be ready to open a paypal claim if she really is gone.

>>9195219
Works fine for me, it's just not very obvious. I'm using Chrome btw

>>9195222
I doubt anyone told you to wear one without a petticoat?

>>9190914
>tfw no one buys their stuff there

I wonder if they realize that something has to be wrong if no one wants their stuff.

>>9194992
god you're a cringefest
also nice samefag >>9195010

>>9195240
>>9195270
Thanks. I just emailed them a 3rd time (only got a response the first time I did). If I don't get a response within the next few days I will open a paypal claim.

>>9195064
sorry but you came to the wrong place for a nice "aw sure anon you'll be fine x"

that being said if you're already into alt fashion you shouldn't have anything to worry about, it's not weird to be interested in any sort of fashion. a lot of gulls find lolita to be a really good way of getting over being self conscious. polite sage, next time post in the feels thread anon~

>>9195052
They were specifically talking about dresses that still look good without petti while acknowledging most lolita dresses don't.

I do disagree with the people who say no petticoat immediately means it's not lolita. Always wear a petticoat is just something we tell newbies.

>>9195277
Unfortunately It's not working for me. I've tried both on my PC and mobile. It's rather odd; the page loads but there's no change. It's making the website unusable, as I have to sift through old listings. Just me luck, I guess!

>>9195222
you can wear a cageskirt without a petti if your dress has a build in petti.or if your dress has lots of ruffles. I've worn my F+F cageskirt under my gathered chiffon jsk and had no problems at all.

>>9195304
Just taking a quick look at her FB page it looks like she is somewhat active so you might have some luck getting her. I STRONGLY recommend you don't use her after this though. She's been like this for awhile. Use a taobao SS like spreenow or something

>>9195277
>>9195315
different anon here, it's been broken for me for some time as well- the filters for date and price give me completely jumbled results. same thing happens no matter which browser i use.

not that anon but if someone asks a question then that means they genuinely do not know the answer, so what good is trolling even going to do? Of course they're going to believe you, it's not ~lolso funny & edgy~ it's just kind of pathetic.

can you stop trying to necromance this topic. It's done.

oh my god calm it

Well of course. There is always one anon that has to dislike and nit pick perfectly fine coords.

Pretty sure when it was posted on cgl the first time it got quite a bit of praise. That girl is far from a disaster.

>>9195437
True. I think when it was first posted there was mixed praise and disgust? At least from what I remember anyway.

>>9195442
And you know what, the anons that post similar the first time in the nitpick manner are probably the reason I ended up saving it to my inspo folder.

It's reassuring to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I can't think what on earth it must be; I've tried everything to get it to work.

I want to be pegged by a girl wearing lolita. Where would I go for this and how much would it cost?

>>9195460
The fact that your decision to do that was influenced by the reactions of others speaks volumes.

Are coords like these considered lolita or otome kei?

>>9195551
It wasn't JUST that. Also it's just saving a picture. Are you for real that judgmental? I think you're just trying to keep this issue alive.

Lolita.

Lolita has a formulative guideline to coordinating - ex: matching pieces, petticoat requirement, specific themes, etc. Otome- kei is less restrictive, more retro inspired with no specific guidelines so long as itmeets that quirky yet cohesive aesthetic. Just look up Emily Temple Cute.

How is Muuh's SS? I want to try out her ss but someone told me they had a bad experience with her and that I should avoid her shady ss. What are your experiences?

alright

Samefag is pretty much a meme at this point. It's up there with stupid shit like "Hi _____"

>>9195424

The board is infested with trolls and shitposters, it's par for course you'll get trolls some way or another. I don't even know why nooblets bring their questions to cgl. You can't ever be sure the person giving you "advice" is even a lolita, it could be some fat sweaty dude schlicking while laughing at your nooby noobness for all you know.

If you need help with lolita, make a throwaway account and post it to any of the other groups (reddit, livejournal, facebook), at least you'll be able to get answers from actual lolitas. cgl is mostly used by girls to vent anonymously, not hold hands and sing kumbaya together. That's why the "bad" threads like ita threads, horror stories thread tend to stay up, and we put with the trolls and shitposters in exchange for being anon.
