Old thread: >>9745380

>>9749715
same

>>9749715
Me too

http://lovelylolitasinlove.tumblr.com/ i found this, its a cute collection and nice to dream of a lolita gf to share closet and life with one day.....

>>9749715
What is this cross board shit
Can you take it somewhere else and not the gen?

>>9749737
>not knowing that cgl is gay af

>>9749131
Im really glad I browsed the general at work, I forgot about this sale so thanks a lot anon! I bet the Yoke Flare will be beautiful, I own the Vilma OP in navy which is super similar and really excellent so I'm assuming that OP will be the same.

Went ahead and ordered pic related, I was really eyeing those last sale and now they're even cheaper. Wrote in the note that I'd be happy to take any color of the dresses if the colors I chose were sold out, don't know if they'll pay attention to that though. Here's to trying though, hope everyone gets what they ordered!

Can’t you guys go start a lesbian lolita dating site or something?

There’s someone in my comm who keeps talking about wanting a >qt lolita gf while staring at me really intensely and it’s making me uncomfortable. I’ve told her about my fiancé and she joked that I should dump him and go gay. I really wish she’d stop, her being female (or “agender flexible” apparently) doesn’t make it less creepy to keep hitting on someone who’s clearly not interested.

>>9749756
Sara, is that you?

>>9749737
I'm OP and I don't crossboard, I'm just a gull. >>9749756 is right, cgl is super gay, get with the programme

>>9749715
> tfw not even into women but still want lolita gf

>>9749766
So you weren't here when the survey came around I take it

>>9749756
>not knowing there are a lot of guys on cgl pretending to wear lolita

And just like that, it's already a wreck with the 'reeee crossboarder'-chans. Thanks gulls.

Anyone trying to get stuff in the VM sales?

>>9749715
Can you dykes not start generals with the OP focused on whining about it?

>>9749793
why, are they restocking?

>>9749795
oh, I shouldn't have said sales, my b. I meant pre-orders

>>9749800
Have they started already? When do they end?

>>9749715
At least use a picture of a Lolita who still has a gf

Any lolita discords? I'm trying to get back into the community and it looks like lj is dead.

>>9749850
Aww- is that no more? Sad!

>>9749783
I want a Lolita gf so we can dress each other up and take cute pics.

>>9749715
As a gay lolita, I can't help but wonder why this fashion is so incredibly gay. Any ideas?

>>9749850
Dammit all the best lolita couples break up. I miss Door-chan and her girlfriend. What lolita couples do y'all miss the most?

>>9749882
Because lolitas have good taste.

If I were to guess it's because it's a fashion which doesn't care about looking good for men. Lolita is something that (mostly) only appeals to girls. And communities based around Japanese interests seem to lean that way, I guess because they're more likely to dabble in yaoi and other gay shit.

>>9749882
People who are into alt fashion are more accepting of alternative lifestyles, so the gays are more comfortable being out. Or gays are already accepting of alternative lifestyles, so they don't bat an eye at someone who dresses funny. Take your pick.

>>9749895
I think it's more that the average lolita is part of the younger generation where it's more acceptable to be gay.

Why didn't you make your own thread for this OP?

Straight lolitas, do you ever feel weird or left out in your comm because of your sexual orientation? What's that like for you?

>>9749902
Lmao what no, I don't. My comm has a lot of out members, but it doesn't have an impact on whether my enjoyment is heightened or lessened during meetups.
And plus, though cgl may be gay, most lolitas I know have boyfriends. I'd say there's only like 7 or 8 out girls in my comm, and we're large.

>>9749902
I don't know anyone gay in my comm. All the regular members are married or have boyfriends.

>>9749919
>>9749912
They could be bisexual.

>>9749864
>it looks like lj is dead
Did you check?

>>9749882
It isn't, there are a bunch of dudes on here who pretend to be lolitas. Now imagine if you were a straight dude pretending to be a female lolita, wouldn't you also be a lesbian?

>>9749922
Sure anon. Long story short, I don't feel left out, but it's not like we talk about our love life at meets. People just mention bf/husband in passing.

>>9749924
I actually kinda doubt that. I know enough gay/bi lolitas that it seems likely to me that most here are legit.

>>9749938
I've never met a gay or bi lolita in my life. That doesn't say anything. In confessions threads and on other boards people have posted about going on here pretending to be lolitas, they read old egl entries to pretend they're oldfags. My ex boyfriend for sure still comes here.

>>9749865
>>9749885
She's polyamourous as far as I can tell but seems to be focusing on her husband. There are many other Lolita lesbian couples, cute as they are, they probably don't like being posted

>>9749885
This is so creepy

>>9749794
this

>>9749764
That sounds really uncomfortable anon. I'm not quite sure why some gay people can't accept that some people aren't gay. It's as bad as a straight person not accepting that a person can be gay.

>>9749864
the vetting is the juiciest

>>9749943
I find this hilarious because the only lolita friends I've actually managed to make are all either gay or bi, never been friends with a straight lolita

My Milky Cross is missing a star, where could I buy the same decorative cold stars?

>>9749971
Ask in the dumb questions thread because this is a dumb question.

>>9749971

What do the stars look like? Taobao has a bunch of different ones.

>>9749902
>tfw you find out your token straight friend was bi all along so now you have to find another token straight
Where do I even look? Old navy? Goodwill?

Thanks to OP being a jackass this entire thread is nothing but lesbians shitposting about being lesbians.

I guess we have to wait until the next gen to actually discuss lolita.

>>9749924
My comm is majority bi by far. We don't frequently talk about our sexual orientations but the few times we have, everyone came out at once, hahaha.

>>9749985
Or you could bring up a lolita topic instead of complaining. But naaaah

>>9749989
Fuck off to /lgbt/ if you want to talk about how big of a dyke you are.

>>9749946
I don't think anyone really enjoys being posted here lmfao

>>9749990
I'm straight. I was merely pointing out that we could still definitely talk about lolita.

It doesn't seem like you want to talk about lolita.

>>9749993
>complain about the lolita gen not actually discussing lolita
>it doesn't seem like you want to talk about lolita

>>9749985

Despite their claims I have my doubts about OP being lolita. Either way now I'm picturing crossboarders jacking off to the topic.

I'm considering if it's worthwhile to make another lolita gen and let the shitposters have this one.

>>9749995
Please do so the entire thread won't consist of

>tfw no lesbian lolita gf
>lelelleelleelelel token straight friend
>muh short nails

>>9749987
Are they also majority teenagers who frequent tumblr?

>>9749902
No? I dont care if you're gay or straight as long as i dont have to deal with you dragging your antisocial SO to every meetup or indulge in excessive pda (kissing, hugging, handholding etc) i dont care.

>>9749996

Done. >>9750016

>>9749885
Who is Door chan?

>>9750021
Connie, she used to post her daily lolita outfits in front of her university door so cgl called her door chan. I think she used to self post too. She's an Atepi model now.

Great. It sucks enough that we have two feels threads, but now there's two generals? Come on, this is pathetic. Can't we just fill this one up quickly? We can ignore the gfposters, it's not hard.

>>9750037
Mods should just delete this one, it will just be a bunch of carpet munchers talking about who's the biggest baddest dyke like it has been so far.

>>9750018
Nice thread, but this is a waste of space. This sort of thing is why the cosplayers accuse us of shitting up the board. We literally don't need two generals.

>>9750038

>>9750039
We don't need two generals, but this one isn't even actually discussing lolita. Would it be acceptable to start discussing how much I want dick from a brolita? No? Then why is it acceptable for lesbians to shit up the general?

>>9750040
>>>/lgbt/

There is an entire board dedicated to this, please go and stay go.

So, why can't Western lolitas keep a magazine going?

>>9750042
Or you could stop talking about lesbians and start talking about lolita shit. At this point, you're the one keeping that particular discussion going.

So, what's your favourite brand, anon?

>>9750047
This thread is garbage anyway, why try and silence me complaining about it? There's another general that's off to a much better start.

>>9750021
>Not knowing Door-chan
Wow.

>>9749864
I feel like discords inevitably become echo chamber clusterfucks. I wouldn't bother with them. Try CoF, Facebook groups, and lj.

>>9749793
Not VM. But I'm hitting the IW sales hard.

>>9750053
>Better start
>8 posts, 1 poster
Having fun talking to yourself there, anon?

>>9750056
>implying all of those aren't echochamber clusterfucks too

>>9750060
I'm not even in that thread you delusional dyke.

I'm so excited for my Physical Drop LP, I'm ready to look like the cutest grandma

>>9750062
So, does that mean you know a good lolita discord? Please let me know, I've been looking for one for ages!

lesbians ruin everything

>>9750068
Pretty much.

>>9750068
They don't ruin everything but goddamn am I tired of threads being derailed over

>tfw no gf/bf

and this thread was basically just an invite for dykes to shitpost.

>>9750068
I dunno, in this thread it seems like people complaining about lesbians ruin things just as much. Can't we just talk about lolita?

>>9750044
Because for years egl on livejournal was basically like a crowdsourced magazine for us. Now, maybe we could sustain one, if someone cared to put in the effort.

>>9750074
Sure! In the general that's not just shitposting.

>>9749994
I'm not the person who originally complained.

Like I said. Let's talk about fucking dresses already.

>>9750081
This thread needs to be deleted. Discuss it in the general where people are actually discussing lolita

i'll start

what dress makes you feel good about yourself the moment you put it on, gulls? even if all of them make you feel better, what's the one that stands out the most?

>>9750080
You can't tell me what to do, Anon! You're not my real mom!

>>9750066
You have weird taste. Keep it up.

>>9750086
I sure can try. Kill yourself.

>>9750085
Its not a dress, but I have the Lief Grace Overdress in black and gold, and every time I wear it, I just feel really regal and rich. I love it so much

>>9750089

>>9750085
Holy Lantern zipper jsk because it fits my body type better than any other cut I've found.

Sucks tho cause I'm a print fiend.

>>9750094
You submissive piece of trash.

>>9750084
Too bad you're not in charge around here.

>>9750085
I don't know if it's still in high demand, but when I got this dress it was so beloved by the community. It was my first dream dress. I'm engaged and I plan to get married in it!

>>9750094
Please do.

>>9750101
Those levels of salt must be getting dangerous for your heart, anon. Let's look at pics of lolita dresses together and calm down, ok? What's a dress you like?

>>9750086
Thanks I will! I love Kuniko Kato so much and Physical Drop is so comfy

>>9750105
Kill yourself.

>>9750108
Here's one I like. I'm sure you have some you like too, anon?

>>9750108
I've never heard of this print? Do you have a pic of the dress, it sounds interesting!

>>9750113
I googled that just in case taobao had actually gone there. They hadn't, but apparently this is the top result for "kill yourself jsk". Tbh it would be so weird to coord that I'd probably kill myself trying.

>>9750113
>>9750109
Eat glass

>>9750124
Huh. Its like tea set items hanging on vines.

I wouldn't wear it either.

>>9750127
I love stained glass prints!

>>9750128
I'm sure there's someone out there who could do it justice, but I know that person isn't me.

>>9750133
>>9750129
seeing these two like this reminds me why moitie is the best brand. the haenuli one looks bad

>>9750137
Maybe its just the stock photo but the print on the moitie one looks like someone applied a static filter to it.

Please tell me it looks better in person.

>>9750137
I agree that the Moitie one is nice but I think this is my fave stained glass print. It's one if my dream dresses.

>>9750144
I've never seen it in person, but even in better photos it looks very taobao to me.

>>9750151
Yeah.. There is definitely something up with the print.

Its ok though, there are definitely super quality moitie pieces.

>>9750153
For sure! What's your favourite? If you're a moitie gal.

>>9750108
>>9750113
i found it

>>9750172

Is this babby Fanny Rosie? Damn that's nearly vintage if it is.

>>9750124
>>9750128
>mfw this is a top-tier dream dress I just bought

>>9750160
I'd wear that one!

>>9750157
I actually don't have any moitie but I do appreciate it! This one is my favorite. I actually like the cut more than the print which is rare for me.

>>9750124
>>9750128
>mfw newfags don’t know tea time nostalgia

All y'all talking about stained glass and ignoring the queen. Btssb x Koitsukihime Stained Glass Angel is the best stained glass print.

>>9750234
>tea time nostalgia
So? It's fucking tea items hanging on vines.

I don't want to wear that.

>>9750240
This dress has been on the top of my list for a good two years. I already have my dream dress since I believe only one dress can be a dream dress, but this one has been more of a fight to get then my dream dress was. It’s like no one wants to sell this one. The white one everyone sells. But the black one? Nope not at all.

>>9750271
I've always wanted the jsk, but I got my hands on the black skirt, which is almost as satisfying. I was crying a bit when I got it.

>>9749998
No, most everyone is 25+ with a full time job. A couple are sjw-y but none are genderfluid types.

>>9750124
Actually, it has gone there! Sorry for potato quality, it's all I got after all the sensitive lolitas were bawling about the "depiction of an in-action suicide".

>>9750344
Most comms are like this. My comm is mostly married and teachers. I can only think of one couple that is married and are gay. Nearly everyone that sticks longer then a year and are at the meets have full time jobs with a 401k. The young cringy ones are usually gone within 12 months into another fashion. Don’t know where this notion that lolitas are all teens comes from honestly.

>>9750357
I think your comm is an exception. There are definitely married adults with good jobs in my community but they’re the minority and keep to themselves more. Most active members are 18-23 and in college, and people often start to fade out around 25. At 27 I’m one of the oldest active members. It’s the same for the comms I’ve visited for holidays and events abroad.

>>9750079
SFE is making an emook

>>9750100
That'll be a beautiful wedding dress. I don't normally wear baby or aatp but I want to get my wedding dress from them too.

>>9750271
Last sold for $700 in 2016 on yj iirc, also my favorite stained glass dress that I can't afford

>>9749902
I think most of my comm is straight or bi. We do have some gay Lolitas. So it mostly isn’t an issue. But there is this one gay girl and when you have a one on one conversation with her and somewhere you mention your future plans, she flips. The fact that you want to live a standard family life triggers her on a way she will let you know she is not okay with it, while you should be okay with the life she wants to live.

Innocent world has some lovely stained glass prints.

>>9750426
What's SFE? I'd be really interested to see this!

>>9750184
Yes, it is her!

>>9750151
That's probably the worst moitie print I've ever seen.

Is it wrong that my gf is sweet and I’m gothic? Becuase our closet is a clusterfuck of cute meets gothic religious motifs.

>>9750452
Street Fashion Europe

>>9750446
Agreed, anon
They also do the only non-religious stained glass print I can think of.

>>9750454
Yes, it's wrong, you have to break up with her now.
Really anon, really?

>>9750454
That sounds adorable

>>9750452
Moitie went through an entire phase of clipart disasters like that, like Alchemy print and the Orchestra print. It was a darker than usual time for gothic.

>>9750454
This is very wrong anon, you should resolve it by bringing her over to the dark side.

>>9750454
That sounds pretty much ideal, anon. Plus you can both try out each other's style or mix and match in a very unique way.

>>9750454
I literally have a family in the Sims like that. One sweet lolita and one gothic lolita. I think it's really cute, anon.

>>9750452
They talked about the emook on Facebook but there is very little information

>>9750462
Sweet Jesus, there are more like this!?
Mana, baby, what is you doin? Does anyone like these clipart dresses?

>>9750469
>>9750462
Alchemy is nice

>>9750468
That doesn't sound very promising. I'll look it up anyway, thanks anon!

>>9750471
Well they must be doing something, cause they haven't been organising a new event

>>9750470
It is nice, but it's like Taobao-nice, not brand-nice.

>>9750469
They're all a few years old now, alchemy was from 2011. Some people do like them though.

>>9750470
To each their own Anon, I'm just not a fan of that era. The concept is great, but I dislike the execution.

>>9750347
Holy hell, how did I miss that shitstorm? Saving this pic for next time anyone starts spamming "kys"

>>9750475
TPC died and SFE are too busy with some shitty mook to organiza events... What are European lolitas doing?

>>9750484
There's an international tea party in Spain next November
Don't know if DMC is happening this year or not.

>>9750246
it was a super popular and therefore expensive print, newfag

>>9750486
DMC is cancelled forever because the TPC who used to run it broke apart.

>>9750493
How disappointing. I never understood whether TPC was just London or the whole of England. I heard it was a London comm that tried to take over the UK and got a little ambitious?

>>9750484
Still better than having to go to an anime con for lolita lol

>>9750459
No like our closet has no cohesion and just looks soo weird. Makes wardrobe post season hard which is why we simply don’t do it any more.

>>9750463
I look like trash in pink and yellow tones. Her closet is mainly pink, ivory and lavender. Mines black burgundy blue and grey. It’s like total contrast. She’s all AP and baby and I’m all moitie and atelier Pierrot.

>>9750151
I own it in two colourways and it's honestly one of their nicest prints in person. The printed overlay is very thin which is why it looks low quality in pictures. I'd say it's nicer than their screen printed (?) pieces such as Holy Stained Glass.

>>9749759
I'm glad I helped enable another gull! I already got my invoice, which is surprising! During the last sale, I waited almost two weeks.

>>9750532
I'm so tempted by one of the OPs, but I'm not sure it's worth spending the money for a dress I'd get purely to wear without the removable accessories.

>>9750554
Get it! I think it's really nice to have some plainer OPs in your wardrobe.

>>9750563
I seriously might, anon. If it's there tomorrow I almost certainly will. I can probably sell some prints to make up for it.

Would anyone be interested in a price check thread?

>>9750565
That's the spirit! And at least you're buying it on sale.

>>9750570
No. They always end up dying early, and 99% of the prices can be found by looking past sales on LM and those that can't people have no idea how to price

a disgrace to Mexican lolitas

With the whole cathycat, scarfing scarf, leighs lawsuit issue has anyone called out this b itch?

>>9750577
this picture, yikes. the japanese lolita's saying misako is aging quickly lately aren't lying.

>>9750577
People have, in previous threads relating to this issue.

>>9750484
Is SFE going to organise something new? I heard some rumors about things not going well and it's already a year ago since their last event.

>>9750100
i dont want a big wedding thing but if we do have a party or dress up for a ceremony i want to get this or the pocket embroidery in white to wear

>>9750486
>Spain
ew

>>9750347
I remember this! Someone told me I was autistic for trying to find meaning to the prints depiction.

>>9750600
What's the comm like?

>>9750491
And that has nothing to do with me not wanting to wear it.

>>9750614
No matter what you do, there will always be someone calling you autistic for it. I've been called autistic for wanting to alter a Simplicity pattern to be more suitable for lolita instead of just using it as-is. Totally unreasonable, I know.

>>9750633
Ah yeah. The tism meme.

Its so sad to think that any amount of creativity is to be compared with having a different thought process than... People who shit post here..

>>9750633
>>9750636
>taking a meme this seriously

What are you, autistic?

>>9750454
>dating someone from the other side
Yes, it's very wrong anon.

>>9750124
>not knowing this print
Am i an oldfag now?

>>9750646
HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT UR SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL

>>9750650
>being this mad at a joke
So yes?

>>9750577
Can someone fill me in on the Shop in Wonderland drama? I’m going to visit friends in Houston and want to check it out. Is it even worth checking out?

>>9750657
blease no bait....

>>9750573
How does one view previous sales on LM?

>>9750657
In case this is a genuine question

https://animematsuriexpose.tumblr.com/

>>9750585
>>9750484
There will definitely be an event next year. This year is still not sure, as the various organizers each have personal stuff going on right now. There may be an event later this year, possibly something smaller. The mook is probably meant to tide everyone over in the meantime.

>>9750615
Check the country's comm FB albums and you'll see for yourself,it's Spanish Lolita Alliance. Just saying,one of the most famous girls is a fat suicide girl

>>9750660
>being this new
Jesus.

>>9750240
>9749509

>>9750684
I’m serious. I’ve been using the site for ages and then they changed the format and now I can’t find it anymore. Makes my life really difficult when trying to list pieces.

>>9750577
I don't get why people give her a free pass, she is a super shitty human being and probably fucking the leighs.

>>9749982
How do you know?

>>9750717
>i've been using the site for ages
>can't figure out how to look at previous sales

either you're lying or retarded.

>>9750580
Misako is 35 quickly approaching 36 anon what do you expect? She still looks 10x better than the white soccer moms her age.
>inb4 "dumb white knight!!!"
I just think it's dumb people are so shocked she's aging.

>>9750763
Agreed, and I still think she looks cute anyway. Her style is slowly changing and I think she looks great.

>>9750721
Misako or the Mexican kawaii ambassador? I’d be really surprised if the Mexican girl DIDN’T sleep with John at some point, considering the kind of guy he is and how he treats her.

Looking at shit like this makes me rage inside. Why can't normies fucking dress themselves or take a food coord shot? I know The Guardian is trashy, but labeling this as fashion and publishing such a godawful picture is just embarrassing. Any lolita worth her salt could put together a more cohesive normie outfit and color coord better than this.

Also another one of these coloumns is "what I wore this week: florals in winter". She had a cool-toned blue floral dress with warm magenta suede stilettos. SO TRANSGRESSIVE.

>>9750763
I'm not shocked she's aging, but /cgl/ insists she's not whenever I bring this up and it's retarded

>>9750790
Not a food coord shot, a full coord shot. Though I bet she'd struggle with that too.

>>9750790
How does this belong on /cgl/ let alone the lolita general?

>>9750774
Is there any way they can remove the kawaii ambassador title from her? I dont think she even does shit for the Mexican comm now

>>9750570
Yes

>>9750577
Who posted that picture? Misako?

>>9750172
Everything is vintage ehen it comes to Fanny

>>9750810
No, you can see who posted it at the top left.

>>9750094
>>9750105
>>9750129
idk if you're still around here anon but i love you

>>9749715
Anyone buy from Baby Ponytail before? I've not heard much about them before. Is the quality any good? Are they reliable?

>>9749971
Is it a star button or a dangling charm?

>>9750577
Idon't understand the picture. They are not in shop in wonderland nor are they carrying a bag from them as far as I can see

>>9750657
John Leigh is a pedo, he and his wife own/run Shop in Wonderland
It's what the Scarfing Scarves drama is about.

>>9750660
'Advanced Search'
I hope you choke on the spoon.

>>9750856
Did you completely skip over the caption.

>>9750886
So does she work for them or something?? How are they representing shop in wonderland?

>>9750906
Lol
Misako is a model and she was paid to under a contract BTSSB has with thd Leighs.

>>9750906
Is this bait or are you seriously that retarded?

>>9750917
>>9750929
No ffs it is just a picture of some mexican girl with misako and a caption that the mexican girl wrote

>>9750828
I've been wondering this too, they kinda seemed to appear out of nowhere... Super taobao name and aesthetic too.

>>9750600
Why is it that every time this country or comm is brought up everyone always says ew?

>>9750828
Baby ponytail is amazing! Super reliable.

>>9750514
Do you have the satin or chiffon ones? I have the satin JSK and the print is lovely on it; the material isn't thin at all and it's totally clear and bright. However, I still think their screen printed dresses are nicer.

>you will never have a Christian fundamentalist wife to dress in Victorian era clothing for you

Why even live

>>9750790
Wow. Chill out.

>>9750941
I don't get it either mang. But I also have not been keeping up with the current debacle cgl is up in arms over. I swear to god the people here are enthralled by the dumbest fucking shit.

>buy "champagne" gold shoes off aliexpress because don't want to deal with waiting for taobao custom colour (and possibly getting the wrong colour)
>they are matte beige when they arrive

am I in the wrong to think these are clearly gold or at least a metallic colour? I suppose I should be known better since you have to custom order them from sosic on taobao, but like... what the fuck. they're straight up beige

>>9751235
Champagne colors are usually a pale beigy/peachy gold so no, this isn't surprising. Maybe learn to into colors?

>>9751238
I understand, but the image shows a metallic finish and warmer gold tone, and in fact there is a different stock image for the actual beige colour on taobao

>>9751245
The shoes definitely look metallic champagne to me in the pic you posted. I think they fucked up.

>>9751118
>dat cheap lace
>christian fundamentalist
wew lad, are you in the wrong place.

>>9751081
Why do you think?

>>9751434
Because it's full of fascists

>>9751081
The lolita and con scene is full of snowflakes. Also the normie aren't much better. Just go to the Spain thread.

It's so weird and annoying that AP doesn't show prices on their webshop

>>9750347
I want this dress. Sauce? Was the dress actually made?

>>9751572
AP does show prices...

>>9751607
only after you clicked on it

>>9751612
No...

>>9749788
>implying I actually care about lolita
>implying I'm not here only for the girls
>implying I haven't met up with a gull

misfire?

>>9751614
where are they?

>>9751648
Right under the name.

>>9751220
Ok Daniela.

Also, reporting a photo with comments that hurt your fees isnt gonna solve your problems, own up to your actions and stop making yourself such a victim when youre supporting a pedophile all for personal gain, its sick

>>9751716
How come instead of supporting these individuals, you dont separate yourself from them, try to back up your community, and hey if you really want to make a name for yourself, start making your own meetups with j fashion guests and maybe your own convention, Who knows. Maybe theres still time for redemption and go back to whats truly important, the group, the community

>>9751715
It doesn't look like that for me, look at the picture I used

>>9751716
Is it really so hard to explain what you're talking about? Besides the fact that the caption mentons shop in wonderland, I don't see how Misako and some nobody are representing them. Misako is just standing there and didn't post anything about it on her own social media.

>>9751235
post a pic

I think it's interesting to see how different Western/American dream dress//wishlist items are compared to the Japanese. Like Moitie's Holy Queen and Gothic Arch are really sought after over there but moitiefags in my comm are all over other prints.

>>9751804
I think if you go in the “new arrivals” subsection it shows it

>>9751854
For sweet it's actually pretty similar.

>>9749715
me too thanks

Why do you think taobao became so popular in recent years? American lolitas were already buying from taobao in 2011, but back then people weren't proud of it and listed those items of their coord as 'off-brand'.

>>9751812
I know this is bait but to properly inform those who are lurking and may NOT know, that "some nobody" is the SIW store's manager. I didn't know either, but when I was at a Texas event, she was there and getting a general cold-shoulder from other lolitas. It makes much more sense looking back on it now.

>>9751461
And racists

>>9751942
>I know this is bait
>I didn't know either
wtf

>>9751716
Why did you assume I'm someone that I'm not.

Also if you're worried about pedophelia what are you doing on this site you moron. Do you know anything about the /tv/ board?

>>9749715
>tfw finally have a gf but she's from another continent

Agh, just got my invoice and even with asking for any color the Triangle OP was completely sold out which is mainly what I wanted. It was in stock in black for so long after I ordered too... Ah well. Got the rest at least.

Anyone else suceed/fail with their invoice?

>>9751895
I remember people debating about if we should call Bodyline offbrand or not

Recently nearly every time I try to bid on something on yahoo auctions the bid goes through, but the winning bid appears to be 100 yen more than whatever my bid was. What's going on? This seems to be kind of similar to the system on ebay but as far as I know y!auctions worked differently.

>>9752400

The bids work the same as eBay. They bid an amount higher than yours and the system increases the current bid to your max bid + the minimum bid increment.

>>9752407
I feel a bit dumb now, haha. Thanks for letting me know!

>>9752292
Got my yoke flare OP. So classic and versatile, can't wait to wear it. I already have everything i need to coord it a few different ways

it's so hard finding nice wristcuffs for gothic lolita. why are you like this moitie?

>>9749715
me too btw im a boy

>>9754161

>>9754161
>>9754196

Anyone owning Castle of Nightmare in ivory or similar light x wine AatP print that knows whether it bleeds or not? I've already googled and checked lj memories, all of my other dresses are machine washable black solids so I don't have any experiences with bleeding fabrics

>>9752593
I think hardly anyone is wearing wristcuffs anymore. The trend has gone to gloves or long sleeved blouses. No demand = no supply.

>>9749943
What comm are you in? No offense, but I have a hard time believing this unless you live somewhere where being gay is still super taboo. I've been in three different comms during my lolita life and like half or more of the girls there were gay or bi. Not to mention, the profiles of girls on various websites indicate there's a heavy LGBT presence.

>>9750001
>hand holding and hugging
>excessive PDA
This is something a person super bitter about being single would say

Secrets

>>9754410
I had the skirt in wine and it bleeds a little. Just need to make sure you have a color catcher sheet in with it as you wash.

>>9754436
Nayrt but I'm happily married and it still annoys me out to see people groping each other and making out right in front of me. Hand holding and the occasional peck is fine, but the most openly ~queer~ lolitas I know have no social skills so I get to see them stick their tongues down each other's throats more often than I'd like.

>>9754454
I’m a lesbian and married Lolita and never do that in public. The only people that do shit like that are people that are trying to get a rise out of someone for the attention. No gay ( lesbian at least) does that around people who they don’t know comfortably. It’s the “ I’m gay this month” types that do it so they can post to social media how they where harassed for being gay.

>>9754436
>super bitter about being single would say
yeah. and?

>>9754458
I can't speak for the people in my lolita comm but I'm friends with several long-term lesbian couples who do this stuff, too. One couple is getting married in a few months. I love them and am happy for them, but I can't help but cringe whenever they grab at each other's breasts in public or make super overt sexual references (straight people know what "licking a wet pussy" means too, you're not being clever, pls stop). I've asked them to tone it down a few times and they always react like "haha Anon is such a cute prudish straight girl".
I think it's more of a socially awkward nerd thing than a gay thing, though.

Secrets

>>9754454
>I'm happily married
Yea sure

>>9754491
nobody cares about your non-lolita friends

Is Lolibrary working for any of you?

>>9754543
Its down currently

>>9749864
I've tried to visit some lolita discords but these are filled with sjw

>>9754548
>>9754543
It's back up!

>>9754832
this
we need a proud kekistani lolita discord

>>9754543
Kind of. It works but it seems like half of the dresses I search for that I know exist have disappeared. Example: you're searching for a dress with a theme like roses by IW. Only a couple things come up when they have tons

>>9755026
Yeah, but it's been like that for what feels like years. It was completely down this afternoon.

>>9755028
Before the migration I didn't have any trouble, I used to use it to find measurements of y!j auction items just using keywords. But now it brings up nothing. Sometimes even a search like VM stripe OP will give me just a couple results like wtf

>>9755087
Old Lolibrary was honestly fine for me, and now I also have problems finding items I know used to be there, as I had them added to my wardrobe or wishlist.

>>9755026
>>9755087
I'm not sure what you're doing, but both of those examples I got multiple pages of results. Try typing the entire brand name and putting spaces after search terms including the last term?

>>9755107
I do type everything out, but I know there used to show up more/different things. Sometimes when I want to go to the next page I also get pages that load infinitely.

It is an absolute bliss to have a lolita girlfriend.
I am now living in this bliss.

Does anyone know the twitter or other social media accounts of the designers of Victorian Maiden and Excentrique?

>>9755548
I know VM's designer is on insta as @nimu_inugasuki or something like that.

I hate that Shop in Wonderland has their own brand now. Literally all they do is slap someone's art on a t-shirt. I'm a fan of Yoh and I love the cheshire cat, but I won't buy it because it'll have Shop in Wonderland written on it.

>>9755680
You should go to that party with a microphone to spread some truth

Anyone have the big version of this?

Anyone ever add up their wishlists? A few of my dream/wish items are up right now so I added up the cost of everything I had bookmarked and it ended up at $3000. I already have a large, well-rounded wardrobe so it's kind of horrifying, especially since this is just stuff available right now and not my full wishlist (got reservations and re-releases coming up too and a $1000 budget for the entire year...)

>>9755799
I've added it up before and had it come out to well over 20k. But I take my bookmarked wish lists with a grain of salt, I usually don't end up buying more than 1-2% of the stuff I save. It's more window shopping for me.

>>9755826
I guess I just delude myself into thinking it's less than it is because a lot of the items are cheap individually. I was umming and ahhing over spending $350 on a coat or $300 on lav British Crown but would probably have bought $500 of stuff on WW over the next few months without really thinking about it. I usually buy 40-50% of the stuff I bookmark though...

>>9755799
That really doesn't sound that bad. I felt like a horrible person until I realized that my entire main piece collection only cost about $5k.

If I could find all my dream dresses and sell what I have, I would gladly pay $3k

Anyone have more info on pic related?

>>9757018
when did google image search get so shitty

>>9750828
Their clothing is /okay/. I mean, the prices are really really cheap so you get a good deal.

>>9755799
Some people spend 3k on one handbag, it's all about perspective.

>>9755826
Same anon, I just tack on pretty much everything I see and like on to my wishlist/to-buy list. I'll say that I want a print but I end up never getting it. Thankfully I have a separate dream dress list that barely changes.

Is this supposed to be han lolita?

>>9757846
You're late to the party. Yes, it is.

>>9757846
Yumi King is shitting herself.

>>9758270
She's probably planning a diy version with her curtains!

Can anyone recommend a gothic brand that is okay for larger chests? I am currently looking at some shirred stuff from sheglit because that seems to be literally the only brand that is big tiddy friendly. I'm just sad none of the dresses that will fit me are the better looking styles, they are a bit sweeter and rufflier if that makes sense

Pic related, I prefer the cape OP so much more but I can't tell if it would fit me so probably not

>dream dress comes up on fril
>of course just stock photos
Does anyone have experience buying pieces with only stock photos from Japanese auctions? What has happened with them for you?

>>9758300
Get your SS to ask for a photo.

>>9758300
I wouldn't trust just stock photos, especially if you have to buy through a SS where it's harder to get a refund.

>>9758300
ive never had a problem with japanese sellers. just make sure the desc is detailed.

CoF vs Instagram, which is worth using?

>>9758302
>>9758303
>>9758351
Thank you, anons. I'll ask for more photos then go from there.

>>9758365
Instagram.

>>9758465
Thank you!

>>9758365
Neither.

>>9758365
twitter for brand updates

New ETC prints

>>9758286
If you care that much you should just lose weight.

>>9758286
How big? Atelier Pierrot and Chantilly go pretty large

>>9754511

>>9758300
I've done it through Chibi Tenshi, since she can just file a claim if the seller doesn't send it.

I wouldn't do it through a large SS like FromJapan because it's harder to get your money back.

>>9758531
