Rose Jail was my first AatP print and I still love it (especially in brown). What was yours?

>>9881671
You a naawie fan, anon?

>>9881706
What is naawie?

>>9881707
A popular lolita on Instagram with very cohesive gothic coords who posted wearing Rose Jail a day or two ago

>>9881710
No, the pics I posted are obviously re-releases and I think it's a bit weird to be a "fan" of some rando on instagram

>>9881675
Name of the Rose! I now own it in both the halterneck and skirt/vest cuts.
>tfw my favourite cut has always been the other jsk
>How have I not bought it yet

>>9881710
Then no. The pics I posted are obviously re-releases and I think it's a bit weird to be someone's fan if they're just some rando on instagram

>>9881717
That makes sense. I wondered because she's popular and posted hers very recently but it turns out you just have really great taste, anon!

>>9881722
what is even happening

Oddly related, the black colourway is up for sale on LM right now.

How do you add pictures to lolibrary?

>>9881758
You don't unless you're an editor. Email them offering to volunteer and they may give you permission though

>>9881760
Oh. Did the old lolibrary have a way to do it without communicating with them?

>>9881671
>>9881672

>tfw loved the print but hated all the cuts of the original
>tfw still love the print but still hate all the new cuts

If they re-do either stained glass angel dresses though, I'd be on that like white on rice.

>>9881672
I am in a need. Oh my.

tfw you're trying to gather accessories for a coord and NOTHING is fitting quite right. I never thought it would be so hard to find a brown bolero ...

>>9881821
You just got a suggestion for a brown bolero in the coord thread that's fairly easy to come by.

I'm sure if this is just me, but has anyone noticed an uptick in sellers requesting that paypal fees be paid by buyers?

I feel like every other LM listing has this in the sales description and ToS.

>>9881855
It's so retarded when sellers do this. Just add the cost into the base price of the item ta-da
>also it bring against pp tos

>>9881866
>add a % in the base price of an auction

Is Chocomint dead?

>>9881734
I started a thread with Rose Jail, anon thought it was because of a recent instagram post but it was because of the re-release, and then I got a compliment

>>9881897
thats really wholesome?! what the fuck someone start some drama this is really weird

>>9881671
Man, why does the skirt cost as much as the OP?

FYI this seller on lacemarket does "shemale" porn under the same moniker so buyer beware unless mysterious cumstains are a huge selling point for you.

>>9881765
don't think so. you had to sign up somehow to become a contributor. it'd be a mess if anyone could upload photos, that's how stuff gets trolled.

>>9881923
yeah, why would you assume the seller performs in their lolita? you sound like a jerk anon. I don't care who does what in their free time (as long as it's legal and doesn't hurt anyone). you have protections if an item arrives different from the listing but it's judgmental on another level to assume she'd be a jank seller.

pls shame scammers and scalpers instead of this personal bs

>>9881855
Some seller recently tried to add this in and didn't even mention it in the description. It just showed up on the invoice. When I called her out on it she said it was normal and didn't mention it because "everybody knows buyers pay the fee so I didn't think to mention something everybody knows"

>>9881932
but shouldn't everyone know that paypal fees aren't the buyer's responsibility?

i feel like this is known fact, why are so many people tacking it on?

>>9881927
Well there's also the fact that she has an extensive record on getoffegl, or that she's a virulent racist, or the fact that her FUCKING PROFILE PICTURE IS HER ASS IN HER UNDERWEAR? Go fuck yourself with this "uwu don't prejudge them" shit.

>>9881924
I'm pretty sure you could add measurements, pictures and comments before

>>9881923
>>9881941
Is this elexiel_grae?

>>9881955
Blast from the past, damn

>>9881961
This is not the kind of old school comeback I was hoping for.

>>9881923
what's wrong with lolitas doing porn and those who are MtF? San Francisco Comm has a MtF porn star who wears lolita too.

>>9881970
It's not the old school comeback we expected, but it's the old school comeback we deserved.

>>9881976

>>9881978
I want to argue with this but deep down I know you're right.

>>9881976
If the person in the picture is who we think they are, the porn star is probably comparatively normal.

she wore "lolita" in one photoshoot

>>9881989
>she

>>9881989
I thought it was more than one

>>9881934
She told me a lovely story about how she had to explain this to some poor newbie, that buyers have to pay the fee. I sent her both lm and PayPal TOS saying otherwise.
She just wouldn't listen. I couldn't tell if she was just stubborn, or what. I reported her to the mods. Sad because I wanted that dress.
She tried to double the supposed PayPal fee too.

>>9881923
https://egl.circlly.com/auctions/princess-honey-tea-salon-frill-skirt-in-black-by-btssb

I think she has the matching socks (Princess Honey's Tea Salon OTKs) in black. Someone should comment on that LM listing. She was wearing them in a solo porn video, but I can't link it because it's NSFW.

>don't kinkshame uwu! People can do what they want in their free time! They're not hurting anyone!

qi lolita confirmed worst substyle so far

>>9881671
So, Alice and the Pirates always outs out a "Halloween" print every year, right?
Did anyone keep track of the several prints? I feel like I'm missing some. So far I found

-Vampire Requiem (2009)
-Vampire Forest (2010)
-Vampire Prelude (2012)
-Merry Making in the Ghost Town (2013)
-Guilty Meltin Sweets Town (2014)
-Tricky Nightmare Factory (2015)
-Vampire Nocturne (2015)
-Rosy Night's Masquerade (2016)
-Secret Hospital (2017)
-Night of the Devil's Castle (2017)

For some I don't even remember which one was supposed to be the Halloween release.

>>9882003
This is pissing me off so much, never happened to me until a month ago. Wonder why so many people are trying to scam again

>>9882097
There's a few that I think are debatable halloween prints.

In 2007, they released Halloween Alice which I believe might have been one of their first "spooky" print release. I haven't found anything that fits the bill for 2008 so far. As for 2011, Black Cat, Witch and the Apple Tree would probably be considered their halloween print, and that year they also re-released vampire requiem. I believe it wasn't until 2009 that they began consistently producing spooky halloween prints.

>>9882097
Is The Black Cat, the Witch and The Apple Tree Halloween?

>>9882120
Ah, thanks! I didn't even think of Halloween Alice (when it's even in the name, duh). I was thinking about "Black Cat, Witch and the Apple Tree" as well, but I didn't know if this would qualify.
But I agree, some are definitely debatable. Secret Hospital probably doesn't count because it's a collab piece like Marionette in my closet room.

>>9881675
Mine was Holiday of the Hulim Hulum Brass Band. I love it because you can make many different outfits with it.

>>9881675
Pirate Alice Print JSK in Ivory. I was unsure about the brand when they first announced the split but ended up loving the dress and a ton of their subsequent releases. I still own it even though I don't wear it anymore.

>>9881941
Yeah isn't she the same person who had that massive and oddly transphobic fight in the comments for the "Loki/Lolita" video post recently? I vaguely remember she's also posted about being extremely Catholic.

>>9881675
Merrymaking in the Ghost Town. I sold it but am considering trying to pick it up again if I see it for the right price. I mostly go for Baby's Halloween releases now but the print was super cute.

>>9881671
I love this print in the brown colourway but I need that off-shoulder cut!

>>9881905
I think it's because the skirt has a double layer of fabric

>>9881675
Vampire Requiem in ivory, and I still love it

>>9881675
This is my blood OP

Still one of my favorites. AATP has such beautiful and intricate illustration

yo what the hell, i tried to bid on something on lm and it gave me some “that change was rejected” BS and I missed the auction? anyone know what’s up with that?

I didn't see a sewing thread so....dying lace to match your dress. Discuss.
http://www.threadsmagazine.com/2012/05/02/how-to-make-painted-lace

>>9882337
sounds like You tried to bid at the very end and were too late.

>>9882039
Is this the love nikki collab? Looks cute. I dont mind qi but I would never personally wear it

>Im white and would never wear qi or wa. Its not because of some sjw insanity but I'd just feel to weeby/dorky doing it

>>9882389
it had a few minutes left though

>>9882388
Just make a handmade thread.

>>9882097
Why was Vampire Nocturne so bad? It was an insult to the “Vampire” series. At least Devil’s Castle more than made up for it.

>>9882123
>>9882129

Black cat, witch, and the apple tree was released with a witches hat accessory at the time of year their Halloween print usually is... why wouldn’t it count?

>>9881923
Why did I Google their name?
I saw their butthole but didn't see any brand.

>>9882412
could have been some sort of time discrepancy. or maybe someone bid the exact same as you so your bid didn't go through due to that.

What other AP bags are made from the vinyl material instead of pleather?

>The same material as pic related

What is the male equivalent of Lolita called, and also where does one go to get started in it

>>9882502
Ouji. Go to the boystyle thread in the catalog and summon Gropey the Clown.

>>9882505
Thank you for the quick reply. Is that actually what they go by, or is this a ruse

>>9882509
Gropey is a genuinely helpful tripfag. But other oujis and aristocrats can offer good advice too. Also find good people for inspo on Instagram! You can ask in the Instagram thread for recommendations

>>9882509
I should say, Gropey does more historical clothing than ouji, but he's a great resource for fit and style especially if you're a larger guy. You might also like the Macarouji thread >>9829638

>>9882512
>>9882519
Thank you both, sorry for questioning the name, but it is rather odd considering the style

I can't believe someone is selling this shitty replica for this much
>It's not even the same cut as the actual dress

>>9882536
Hasn't this been removed yet? Wtf? Even Moitie posted about it

>>9882557
Moitie posted about it? Link plz, this sounds interesting

>>9882561
It's on their Facebook page

>>9882557
>>9882579

Good. What are the chances it spurs them into releasing Neo Iron Gate? If they aren't going to cash in on demand for another Iron Gate lookalike, that just leaves replica-makers to make money from the demand for it.

any scans from tulle or le panier yet? especially new prints and street snaps

>>9882388
>http://www.threadsmagazine.com/2012/05/02/how-to-make-painted-lace
okay so that looks granny af. That said, it's really easy to dye rayon or cotton lace, I just haven't run into the case where I need to yet.

>>9882025
People might try to claim that nothing's changed but the community has drastically dumbed down in recent years, especially when it comes to shit like this.

>>9882523
Are you questioning the name Gropey or ouji? Because Gropey's nickname is his own, he's a LARPer/historical reenactor afaik so it's unrelated to the fashion.

>>9882472
The two don't appear in any pictures together but he still poses inappropriately in lolita

Did nobody else get this from Meta? It's on sale now for mail members but I imagine it'll be out soon.

>>9882870
The design is cute but I can see why people wouldn't necessarily pounce on it; the print colors are a bit unusual.

>>9882697
None. The person who designed Iron Gate doesn't worth there anymore.

>>9882707
Just buy them, they're not that expensive and Tulle vol 1 didn't get scanned either

>>9882935

I know they don't have any designers at the moment, but when they get one, it's not unfeasible to think they could scan an existing skirt/old artwork and work on that, or simply make up a new gate that kinda sorta looks like the original.

Or heck, they could outsource a scan job to some art students and use that to screenprint. Then the only issue after that would be the lace quality.

It's not like I'm hoping for a direct re-release of Iron Gate, I said Neo Iron Gate. Heck I'd settle for Neo Royal Gate if it's not flocked. And the print is from like 12 years ago, what's another few years while they get their shit together, I can wait.

Would just be nice to know that they're going to attempt it and not just go "lel srry too bad but pls don't buy the replica support us by buying something other than what you really want from us".

>>9883043
They might make another gate print, though they already did royal gate. But they're not assholes who would use artwork from someone that doesn't work for them anymore.

People with over like 60 main pieces, how do you go about wearing them all? It's gonna take you months to wear one even if you wear a different one every day. Or is it like, I'm collecting this so I can wear it when I feel like it?
This isn't a dig, I've just started building my wardrobe this year and last year and I have about 8 main pieces and lots of blouses, skirts, waistcoats etc, and I struggle to give attention to all my dresses. I tend to wear my plainer ones when I'm working from home or relaxing so I'm not messing up my nicer dresses with like spaghetti or cleaning products etc, I find myself making up occasions to go out just so I can get dressed up lmao

>>9883076
As someone with a lot of stuff, I do wear some more than others. Some of my dresses are very occasion heavy and don’t suit casual wear outside. But I also go to meets a ton and try to get themed meet ups going to utilize some dresses more.

>>9883058
>But they're not assholes who would use artwork from someone that doesn't work for them anymore.
If the person was an employee of the company then the company completely owns the rights to the design. The company would not be an asshole for continuing to use the design.

>>9883076
>>9883085
This is the same for me too. I have some dresses I haven’t worn in years because there isn’t a proper occasion to wear it, but I enjoy having it in my closet.

>>9882707
I’m visiting Japan right now and just bought Tulle #2 and Le Panier, I could take some pics later. Nothing HQ until I get home on the 21st though. Haven’t been checking Lolita Updates since the day before I left but there was a new IW violin piece I hadn’t seen before and a JetJ butterfly dress that I’m decently sure is brand new. Interviews with Imai Kira, an AP model, and Maki + Asuka. Just skimmed them. I mostly pay attention to casual classic and gothic so I might have missed new sweet stuff.

Might as well ask on the side since I’m volunteering that, anyone know what kind of used store I might find GLB? Book Off or another chain? We’re staying in Harajuku but in Kyoto atm.

>>9881750
That's not odd at all.

>>9881978
That drama wasn't from old school era at all though.

>>9883213
Funny though, when I saw OP's picture I thought "Why are we discussing some random dress from Lacemarket? Is it special?"
Only later I found out it's being rereleased and not related to the LM one at all.

>>9882870
I desperately want it but the link in the email didn't work for me

>>9883196
Is there a new MM release?
Book off is the only store I know of.

>>9883076

I have way more than 60... and will admit there's a few dresses I haven't worn. Usually the fancy princess dresses are the hardest, I try to avoid them but I still own a few for the fancy hotel tea parties.

For the majority of them, though, I simply use most of them as non-lolita dresses. The coording is more towards soft lolita or otome style. 60 dresses isn't a lot when you're wearing a different dress every day.

>>9881866
Why is it retarded if the buyer have to pay the PP fees anyway?

Also, Paypal doesn't have this rule to protect the buyers from uncertain fees, but because they want to earn money (the seller is not allowed to offer a cheaper price for payments with bank transfer or credit card, so that the buyer will choose Paypal more likely out of convenience)

>>9883329
It’s still against the TOS since it’s an additional fee for paypal payments. As well as against LM TOS. Find another place to sell and another payment service if you want to scam people like that.

>>9883093
Maybe it was a freelancer. Actually you can own the artwork even if you are an employee.

>>9883328
>60 dresses isn't a lot when you're wearing a different dress every day.
Do you only wear something one time before washing it? Imo 60 days is a long time until you something. You only wear something twice a season?

>>9883329
I've seen people on LM offer 4% discount if the buyer accepts different payment methods.

>>9882437
I actually liked it. It did look better in person than in stock images. The cuts were not good though.

>>9883076
I like planning new coords pretty often. If it's a good coord, I usually sit around the house for a few hours while wearing it. I might do this once or twice a day, maybe more. I don't go out much but I try to wear lolita when I do.

>>9881923
Hi guys. Original seller here. I can confirm that yeah, I've done porn and I'm not ashamed of it and yeah I'm a trans woman. I seriously think this post was just a pointless vendetta against me from the Central Valley con. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I keep those two aspects of my life completely separate from each other and have never claimed to ever combine the two. People come from all walks of life people; you never really know who someone is outside of lolita. Thanks for the tea and shade, anon. It's real classy bringing up someone's personal life. Didn't know you were obsessed with me lol

>>9882830
she

>>9883419
>y-you must be o-obsessed with me
>does porn, thinks he can comment on other people's level of classiness

>LM profile pic has part of your ass showing

???

>>9881941
not a racist anon

>>9883419
Hi elexiel.

>>9882180
not transphobic either

>>9883419

>>9883430
lol I'm "transphobic" yet you misgender me? doesn't help your cause

>>9883436
theyre short shorts. outside of lolita I do import modeling :/ that one wasn't from porn.

>>9883457
I wasn't the one who called you transphobic. You're delusional, sir.

>>9883459
Still doesn't change the fact your ass is hanging out and it's wildly inappropriate to use on LM

>>9883448
sup fool

>>9883461
lol ok "sir".

What about my ass bitch? I'm sure your man liked it last night lol

>>9883466

>>9881989
that's not lolita anon

>>9883466
>I'm sure your man liked it last night

My man isn't gay, sorry. Men in makeup trying to gain attention by doing porn and posting their asses shamelessly online doesn't do it for him.

>>9883466
i love your spirit but don't waste your time. you're arguing with on or two people who are likely not going to change their opinions and will just clog the thread with nasty, degrading responses.

don't sweat it. some nobodies will harbor negative thoughts (likely from your local comm) but no one else cares. thanks for keeping the two separate and enjoy your day.

>>9883477
>no one else cares

i'm not from his comm. I just think he's delusional as shit and should be permabanned from LM so we don't end up with his cumstained porn pieces

>>9883481
yeah, no one's going to get permabanned just because you have a hateboner for their lifestyle.
that's not how things work.

>>9883500
Actually, I'm willing to bet the mods would ban for some of this behavior. People have been banned off LM for less. He doesn't have feedback either, which doesn't look good on his end. I'm going to be writing them and I encourage others to as well, unless you want cum stained brand from this pornstar

Can I get some advice/opinions? I'm working on accessorizing a more gothic-feeling coord with a rose theme. I have a choker and wrist cuff, and I don't want to overdo it but one ring feels lacking somehow. Should I pick out some more rings or is one okay?

>>9883508
I just sent in a report, I don't want anyone to accidentally purchase nasty clothing.

>>9883514

I just posted the coord in the collage thread, if you wanted a better idea of what I'm going for.
>>9883350

>>9883508
count me out. this is dumb as heck and super presumptuous.
this thread shows your heavy bias and you're just going to out yourself as a flaming jerk, trying to boost someone from a platform when they haven't actually sold a bad item/ violated the platform's rules.
If I were a mod I'd make a note of you so I can be prepared for further irrational and immature acts.

>>9883514
one ring is okay. don't make the mistake of adding too many things to the point people don't know what to look at anymore.

>>9883529
Lmao sorry people don't want to buy from a gross skanky pornstar? Idk what to tell you. Most people aren't okay with buying stuff from someone so uncouth

>>9883564
I hope you only buy all your clothing new, because you sound like a prude that would flinch at the idea of someone going to the bathroom in lolita.

>>9883576
>not wanting infamous porn stars selling their cum stained brand to the community means you're a prude
Ok

>>9883564
remind me not to buy from you

>>9883579
Feel free not to buy from me. Just like everyone else is free not to buy from a literal whore.

>>9883576
>doesn't want to buy from a pornstar
>automatically a prude

Logic isn't hard, why can't you use it?

>>9883584
>>9883578
Hate to break it to you, anon, but plenty of lolitas have filthy, dirty, haram sex in their burando. You've probably brought something that's had cum on it.

>>9883419
It's not your "personal life" anymore when you post it on the internet.The internet is public, and what you do in public is completely up for scrutiny whether you like it or not.

>>9883587
Okay but the chance of getting aids or another std from this pornstar tranny is much higher than some anon letting her committed bf rail her

>>9883508
Do you buy second hand from japan?

Hey gulls: this jsk was posted on lacemarket with the title "innocent world Rose JSK" and didn't add further identifying info. I spent some time trying to find it on lolibrary but couldn't, and of course a broad google search brought up nothing. I was wondering if anyone could recognise it?

>>9883227
So this is the only page of MM in either magazine, it’s in Le Panier.

>>9883227
>>9883637

>>9883227
Ahhhh and sorry for the sideways images - looks like cal flipped them and I don’t have access to a computer while here. Forgot to say that the photo editing a blurry and over filtered so that’s about as good of a detail shot I could get if the dress.

Are there any sweet lolita heels that are really comfortable? I don't have any orthopedic problems, I just get exhausted very quickly wearing a heel bigger than 1 inch, and flat tea parties make my legs look like stumpy hobbit legs.

>>9883649
>getting tired in heels
>legs look stumpy in flats
Sounds like you could benefit from losing weight

>>9883654
Thanks anon but I'm just short and awkward.

>>9883664
Do some calf exercises. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and rise slowly onto the balls of your feet, then lower yourself back down slowly. Do this for 10 minutes a few times a day, or whenever you're waiting for the water to boil/dinner to cook/brushing your teeth.

Your legs should not hurt, nor should you feel tired in heels under 2.5 inches.

>>9883637
>>9883638
>>9883640

Omg thanks anon! This means there should be a new release of farutetto in mint!

>>9883649
>>9883670
to be fair, some people are just reallyyy not used to heels, so they struggle to be comfortable in literally any high heel. I agree with anon though, do calf exercises, and buy a low pair of heels and wear them round the house whenever you can. For me, I swear by insoles (in boots), a good fitting shoe and a high quality shoe. If a kitten heel shoe is well built, fits well, is cushioned, and you wear them in, then it shouldn't be uncomfortable at all. I don't wear anything over a few inches though because i find it uncomfortable.

>>9883649
I like wearing platform shoes when I want to look leggier but need to be able to actually walk. I also suggest trying wedge heel shoes, as they tend to be easier to walk in as well.

>>9883712
Literally millions of girls can do it so why can't you

>>9883654
>because things like knee or ankle injuries never happen!
fuck you anon. Nayrt but there are other reasons than weight for people not to wear heels.
and fuck me for taking your bait.

>>9883718
Not everything in life is paved, anon.

>>9883643
Thank you so much!!

>they actually spend there day dressing like a sissy fetishist/dolly inteast of wearing supreme and bape

>>9883419
>Anyway, I just wanted to say that I keep those two aspects of my life completely separate from each other and have never claimed to ever combine the two.

Hahahahahahaha

>>9883373

Ah. Yes, tropical country, so one wear, one wash. There's not really a hygienic way around this, I could spend all day in an air-conditioned shopping mall or office, but I'd still sweat into the dress when walking to/from the car park. And when I get home and take a shower, I like to put on another dress. So most weeks I'd have worn 5-9 dresses that week.

The more dresses you have, the wear and tear is spread out over them, so 60 dresses is not really a lot. It's just two months of different dresses if you wear a different one every day, so you basically wear and wash it 6 times a year, which cuts down on wear and tear on the dresses.

The dresses do get uneven wear, though. The pastel AP lucky pack dresses are good for weekends, and then the weekdays are usually dark-coloured dresses or IW florals, then comfy cotton dresses for housewear. There's nothing stopping me from re-wearing a dress several times a month if I just feel like it. And like I said, I still keep a couple of fancy princess dresses that almost never get worn.

>>9883637
Ooh yes! I wanted Farutteto in black, so I'll consider.

What do you guys think of brand parasols/umbrellas? worth the investment? been looking for something elsewhere (off-brand) but it seems to be hit or miss quality-wise and for not a lot more I can be safe and get a brand parasol, but... I'm having trouble finding reviews. Looking at pictures in people's wardrobes only helps so much.

Brand umbrellas have okay quality, for sun and light rain they are perfect, but they aren't that sturdy. You can find offbrand ones for the same price with higher quality. I can recommend Lisbeth Dahl, they are very sturdy

>>9883974
Buy them secondhand.

Thoughts on Underwater theme + Unicorns + Crosses + Crowns?

>>9884031
Print close-up

>>9884007
Hm, thanks. I'll look and see.

>>9884018
that was the plan, but right now nothing is catching my fancy, and it seems most people sell them for about the same price as brand new, regardless. I'll keep an eye out, thanks

>>9884031
>>9884033
It's like they threw every motif that is popular with Chinese lolitas onto one print. It doesn't look good though.

>>9884031
It looks too much like Milky Cross but at least on that the animals were kind of demonic looking so the crosses made sense, this makes no fucking sense at all

>>9884031

>>9884031
Goddammit I was hoping the OP would have shirring

>>9884031
I wanted to buy the OP because of the stripes on the sleeves at the fashion show. I feel betrayed now. And this one probably won’t be cheap on the second hand market soon to justify adding the stripes myself.

>>9884071
Samefagging because I’m a retard who forgot to get rid of the name

>>9884031
>>9884062
It is very similar to milky cross.

>>9884031
Would have bought it as a skirt, it's a lot like Milky Cross. As is it would look like shit on me so fuck it.

>>9884031
Unicorn Mermaid sounds like some stupid Instagram-trendy eyeshadow palette

>>9883457
Sorry but I don't think women have penises :/

>>9884109
This person is an asshole and I won't misgender you, but I gotta be honest it seems kind of disingenuous to whine about being misgendered while doing "shemale" porn. Like call yourself what you want I guess but shemale is a pretty offensive term in the trans community.

>>9884031
Fuck, I like the colors and cut, the print is derpy cute, but fucking hell this chiffon looks ugly as shit.

>>9883974
Adding that it's worth the investment if you know you're going to use them. I live in a very sunny country and I'm sensitive to the sun, so parasols are a godsend, I never leave the house without one.
Like >>9884007 mentioned Lisbeth Dahl is a great loliable option, and I also like Lumiebre's designs.

>>9883974
Not really worth it unless you want a specific design. I'm very happy with my Clifton Fifi Frill which I've had since 2010 and I have a Lisbeth Dahl one that I've had since 2012 with no issues. Obviously I don't take them out in high wind/storm situations and use a storm umbrella for those days, but our winters are fairly wet here and I wear lolita at least every fortnight, and more often in the wet since the temperatures are better.

>>9884031
Can't wait for AP's take on kawaii Zombot Unipire.

Approximately how much shit will I get for doing a closet cosplay using a lolita OP?

>>9884271
Can't tell you how much shit you'll get for it, but some people will be inevitably salty about it. If you can live with that then go for it. Imo it's fine as long as you don't try passing off the cosplay itself as lolita, and don't tag it as such either.
Some might still think you're implying lolita is cosplay by doing this, and will call you ita for it, but you can't please everyone.

TL;DRL: It's your dress, do what you want.

>>9883471
Pretty sure that’s why anon put lolita in quotes, nitwit.

It's always funny to see fatties get triggered at japanese brands not wanting fat girls to wear (aka stretch) their stuff. Just deal with it and lose weight if you're that upset.
Also there are plenty other fashions for girls with a large chest, you shouldn't complain, you're privileged to have big boobs. This is one of the only thing that looks good on us, small chested girls, so let us have that.
The only thing I can agree on are the designs being repetitive sometimes. Using a shopping service isn't even that hard, are they actually retarded or lazy?
Also
>muh racism
SJWs are just looking for things to be offended about nowadays. Japanese people are known to be xenophobic as fuck, get over it.

>>9884306
Wtf are you talking about?

>>9884031
I want to like it but I can barely even see the print because of the overlay.

>>9884031
I love the jsk cut. It looks so airy and cute. I’m just very confused at the collection of weird motifs here..
also >sax
that looks like mint

Is it possible to delete a listing on LaceMarket after the transaction is completed? I swear I bought something a few months ago but am not finding it, even when I search for the listing on its own.

>>9884031
I can't ever tell in these fucking promo pics, is the jsk full back shirring

>>9884306
>>9884309
Sounds like anon is venting her grievances in general, unprovoked by a specific occurrence, in which case it's more suited to the feels thread. Unless I'm wrong and something happened that we're unaware of.

>>9884306
>>9884309
>>9884326
Wow disregard this, I'm a dumbass and didn't look at the pic anon posted. Did someone post this terrible meme on Lolita Humor or something?

>>9883514
Here is buttcape with some interesting rings. Not sure I like it tho.

Thoughts on A/P's new garters? Will they actually hold socks up? Too sexy? If anyone gets them please do a review specially regarding actual usefulness

>>9884332
These? Or the pair with the clock on them?
AatP have released garters like these in the past; I don't know if they actually hold socks up, but I've seen them worn with ouji and they don't look too sexy. They remind me of men's sock garters more than anything, except much, much cuter.

>>9884327
On a group very probably yes

>>9884323

I'm on PC and see quarter shirring, completed with ribbon lacing and what seems to be some kind of lace edging. The pastel mush does make it hard to see the details clearly.

>>9884309
Either trying stuff on or fashion shows. I am a burger lolita who doesn't do conventions so I have no idea what specifically they are talking about if anything... But it makes sense to not let anyone try on clothes for such small brands, they would not be able to afford the loss of severely damaged dresses

>>9884346
Thank you. I once carelessly bought an ap jsk on release I was afraid would sell out, it turned out to be unshirred and 90cm bust so just barely too small to where I had to sell it. I hate how they use these tiny pictures of the back, I couldn't tell it was not shirred

>>9883974
If you're going to get a good one and don't mind shelling out, Lumibre's quality far surpasses that of any Lolita clothing brand parasol.

>>9884350
it's hilarious how quick some gulls are to talk out of their butt. how hard is it to use your eyes?
>>9884366
seconding lumiebre

>>9884031
It's a unicorn seahorse, come on anon

>>9882870
This is so cute and I have no idea how I would work it into an outfit. Feel like I'd buy it and then instant regret. I wish it didn't have the front curtain thing going on. When is it out?

Every "I'm edgy because I smoke in my lolita" person needs to buy this dress now.

>>9883718
Dude, fuck you.

>>9884391
Dan, that's ugly.

>>9884391
OVER 20 LBS OF RIBBONS AND LACE!

>>9884391
Nobody smokes pipes these days. The word pipe makes me think of sewage pipes and pipe dreams first.

>>9884331
I like the rings but that linty fabric is triggering me.

>>9884033
Oh look it's Supbar Milky Cross Taobao Carnival

>>9883974
I have not found a single offbrand parasol that actually had a good aesthetic desu. That's the reason I shell out for burando parasols but I get them secondhand.

>>9884306
Shopping services aren't even that bad, they'll mark down packages for you and everything. I don't like AP's repetitive cuts but there's plenty of Baby for me to buy and it's obviously working for them so all I can do is shrug.

>>9884391
I thought it was a reference to the phrase "pipe dream" before I thought it had anything to do with smoking pipes....

>>9884475
Mte. Some gulls are just dumb as rocks.

>>9884461
I bought a very cute sanrio pagoda style parasol from their site a few years back. Its cute and works well with lolita imo
And ofc pink with my melody on it

>I cant find mine but it was very similar to pic related

>>9884461
You haven't been looking very well, then.

>>9884484
or english isn't their native language so they don't know some random expression but the word pipe is also used in other germanic languages for a smoking pipe

>>9884493
That's not good enough for me desu

>>9884495
Not good enough for you ≠ Doesn't have a good aesthetic for lolita

>>9883649
Emily Temple Cute! Their heels are not too high and their tea-parties are cuter than other brands imo

>buying parasols exclusively second hand
They are only around 5000 yen and great quality, how cheap can you be?

>>9884271
If it's really clear that it's a cosplay, and you look reasonably good, probably fairly little. "Lolita is just clothes" is mutually exclusive with "lolita items must be worn only in this specific way at all times!!!11!"

>>9884612
I'm the anon who originally posted the parasol question, and ended up just buying brand new from Baby. All the 2nd hand stuff I have seen is either stained/damaged, or selling for the price of a brand new item... I'd rather support the brand and get something new if I'm buying a brand piece.

I do appreciate everyone's suggestions though!

how do I tell if rashel lace is good? I... I got something from meta with rashel lace, and yeah it's slightly better quality than something from walmart, but... it's not really that great, and still looks cheap maybe? I can't tell. sorry for the noob question, it's just... surprising

>>9884072
they are releasing a blouse for the series that has the striped sleeves

>>9884724

take a goddamn pic anon

>>9884475
>>9884484
>>9884494
Are you retards or have you never heard of a play on words?

>>9884820
I dunno anon, it seems more like you're the one who's retarded because you don't know the phrase "pipe dream"

What is cp22? Is it a big fancy lolita event in Shanghai?

>>9884820
It’s just such a basic ass play on words, completely lacking of wit and not joke-worthy.... but hey anon, you’re right, basic bitches need comedy too.

Discord link please?

>>9883804
yep I'm in this boat. Can't wear shoes without ankle support unless I want to be hobbled for the next three days.

>>9883708
That anon is pointing out that if it's uncomfortable, you probably need to build more stabilizing muscle in your calves.
That would explain the being tired and all.

>>9884031
kind of a lazy ass print desu

>>9884724

Hahahahahaha. Buy a Milanope lacemonster. Then try to wear lacemonster. When you tear it off your body while screaming about the itching you'll realise Meta's raschel lace is pretty good.

That's about all there is to the stigma of raschel lace. The cheapest knockoff shops use the crappy stiff plastic kind so it gave the whole lace type a bad rep, plus anyone who's ever gone near the cheap crappy plastic kind (eg sat next to an ita) will have this instinct to stay away from it now.

It's possible for walmart stuff to have decent lace, they're usually only using one line of it like somewhere on the bodice, so little lace won't be expensive, even if it's decent quality. Lolita will use lace on every hem, neckline, sleeves, in three lines down/across the skirt, across the bodice, on the bows, etc etc. So that's where it gets expensive and then the knockoffs try to use shitty crappy plastic lace to cut costs.

>>9883328
I have a little over 60, and some I haven't put on at all. I love them, but I don't wear them often. I just always want another one, and I love planning new outfits.

Now before any of you report me for shitposting hear me out. First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

I'm an absolute idiot and left for a brand tea party without my shoes. Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere I can get loliable shoes in Paris?

>>9885016
If you're in a hurry I would go to one of the big shopping centres or department stores so you can look at a lot of things

>>9885016
Here for sure :3

>>9884823
>>9884829
>i-i didn't understand it so you're stupid!!!
So i guess it was you being retarded then? English words can have more than one meaning at once, look it up in your next ESL class.

>>9884315
Make sure you’ve got non-active sales selected in the options drop menu.

>>9884033
Looks like shit. Like a pastel vomit version of Royal Unicorn.

>>9885065
Pretty sure you're retarded because English isn't the only language that has double meaning words.

>>9885104
No one said that it was. Guess you need to work on your reading comprehension skills too, ESL-chan.

>>9885107
fatty

Did anyone get the new JetJ dress? The white colorway is awful, and the blue one is okay but not to die for.

>>9885109
Ah yes, we are fat, because we think your humor is poor. Good burn anon.

Someone please tell that dude on instagram to stop posting his cringy tumblr art in the old school tag.

>>9885178
You can't post something like this without providing caps, anon

>>9881855
I recently had something similar happen, the girl had shipping listed at one price and charged another by adding two more dollars because she was having a friend ship it for her because she was overseas.

Um, you need to factor that shit into your listed price.

>>9884323
No it jist looks like that decorative back lacing like Milky Cross had.

>>9882318
Ditto, but I have the long version in black. It was the dress that made me want to get into lolita.

>>9885181
just look at #oldschoollolita, you don't need an instagram account.

>>9885174
You should reread that chain again, kek.

>>9885174
You should reread that chain again, kek. No wonder you didn't understand a simple play on words if your reading comprehension is this poor.

>>9885207
You mean this shit? Should have posted caps if only for the comments.

>>9885181
Nayrt but this guy I guess. Reminds me of my class doodles in high school that were too lame to even put on DeviantArt.

>>9885217
I actually like this art style.

>>9884031
>>9884033

Whelp, it's not scheduled up for sale anymore, due to AP's website failure. Better line up an in-person SS or contact AP USA if you wanted this release.

I feel simultaneously stupid and relieved.

>Browsing LM
>See item that I've been looking for and favourite it
>"I haven't been paid yet so I'll buy it later if it's still listed."
>Get paid and go back to find the listing.
>It's gone, sadness ensues.
>Two days later I get an invoice
>mfw it was me, I stole the item from myself

>>9885267
That's hilarious! Did you not remember that you bought it?

>>9885270
I don't usually hit buy unless I have the money, because I worry about fucking up one day with my timing and getting bad feedback for not paying. I guess I really didn't want anyone to buy the bolero, so I snagged it, and the person listing it didn't send me an invoice right away so I forgot about it lmao

>>9884475
Oh boy. This is double layers of retard. Where do you think the phrase "pipe dream" came from? It's derived from the hallucinations people had after smoking opium from a pipe. Lord, help me with these idiot gulls.

>>9884306
Lol. Chestlette.

>>9885317
>implying having a small bust is a bad thing in lolita

>>9885065
Work on your punctuation, fatty.

>>9885317
This is not the right hobby to be bragging about having cowtits. Try cosplay.

>>9885323
Study hard so you won't have to be as embarrassed next time ESL-chan!

How would you go about fully exposing Rainies? Just saw the Jetj Bustier she snatched just to sell it. https://item.fril.jp/00aa8f897affaa6a7e8c22ddc2827f38

why are you so triple mad about your dumb joke flopping

native english speaker here and I got the double entendre but it was still lukewarm, please go find something else to do

>>9885217
>Misspelling 'guardian'

>>9885368
It wasn't my joke, retard. Who cares if it's funny or not, clearly ESL-chan didn't understand it and resorted to calling "f-fatty!!!" after their stupidity was pointed out.

>>9885351
I know people have a hate boner for her here, and I hate scalpers too but I don't think there is anything here ton"fully expose" or lead a hate brigade against.

>>9885377
You need therapy.

>>9885386
>y-you're fat!!!
>y-you need therapy!!
Man, are you really that embarrassed about not understanding a pun? Grow up a little anon.

>>9885390
Nayrt but that's not how puns work.

>>9885390

>>9885351
how do you know she bought that one? im just wondering.

but yeah i dont think there's much to do here since buying and reselling isn't super shady, just shitty to do,

>>9885344
>>9885377
>not denying being fat once
lose weight you'll feel betet

>>9885356
She'll just delete it.

>>9885385
I think it's highly annoying and shitty. She isn't just a scalper but a full blown reseller.

>>9885396
Because it rarely appears and sold one or two weeks ago, like everything she usually sells.

>>9885407
what a horrible person. how does she get everything so fast? 1 week turnaround is fast.

>>9885407
Just comment again when she inevitably repost it.

>>9885402
>>9885395
Only whales get defensive about their weight anon, maybe you shouldn't project so much. Brush up on those English skills and you won't have to lash out next time.

>>9885392
Yes, it is actually. Puns are plays on words.

>>9885016
Ask if somebody can lend you a pair of shoes

>>9885339
I'm laughing because that Anon decided to go on a rant unprovoked about breast size. if your self esteem is that low maybe you need to learn to love yourself a little bit more.

>>9882006
You can link NSFW, just tag it as such. Blue board NSFW rules are for images.

>>9883457
Nayrt but I respect trans people who actually transition for non-fetish reasons. Anyone who transitions so they can be the kawaii fuckslut of their wildest dreams isn't really trans in my eyes, just someone willing to go to the extreme to satisfy a perversion. Just like how I'll call a sissy in a lolita a "guy" no matter how much they want to be called a girl, I'll call a sissy who takes hormones a guy too. Used to be friends with an MtF who used to really hate how everyone gets umbrella protection over LGBT issues even when they're clearly just perverts acting out fetishes. Almost like it gave her a bad name by association.

Long shot, but can someone with better internet searching skills than me help my search for the stock image of these putumayo socks in the navy/gold colorway? I need it for my personal lolibrary

>>9885377
There's literally nothing wrong with having English as your second or third language

>>9885702
No one said there was, retard.

>>9885747
yeah, pls stop crapping up the thread. your initial contribution of flat joke involving ugly taobao dress sucked and you need to get over it. you're not making any friends here, bub.

>>9885754
Again, not my joke, idc if it sucks. Stop samefagging and shitting up the thread if you care so much, ESL-chan.

>>9883637
When is this new release due? I don't see anything about it on their actual main page.

I’m looking for a biscuit beret. I have the one from Vision world but I find it to be very poorly made do I don’t wear it because it makes me look cheap. The Q pot one is better constructed but not a cute design imo. Any other options out there?

>>9885885
Make one? Or commission one?

secrets

>>9885885
Just make your own one anon.

>>9886105
Is that the brooch that was made from a real biscuit?

does anyone know the height of this old innocent world model?

>>9886112
yes

>>9886115
wow, the influx of newbs...

>>9885885
Buy Q-Pot because you won’t regret it. You don’t want to risk a literal biscuit like >>9886105 anons story.

>>9885351
How does blocking on Lacemarket work? Also a LM scalper list would be appreciated so I can block.

>>9886180
if you know why can't you just say?
I've never been interested in IW but they have a few dresses that are the same length of another dress I'm interested in. I tried googling ofc but I couldn't find anything. I just want to know for reference sake.

>>9886261
I find them kinda ugly.
>>9886272
I think she’s around 5”1 based on how IW dresses fit me.

>>9886291
>>9886272
I'm 4'11'' and her dresses hit her about 2 inches above where they reach my legs, so 5'1'' seems accurate to me as well. I own a few IW JSKs and OPs, for reference.

>>9886291
>>9886298
thank you kind anons!

Posted in stupid questions but didn't get an answer so I'll try here: There's an OP I've wanted for several months now but every time it pops up for sale I hesitate to buy because of the bust size. If my bust is ~88 cm and the OP is listed at 90 cm, am I going to get the boob loaf?

I know the rule is to give yourself several cm of room and that rule has served me well, but damnit I really love this dress and don't want to deny myself if it will actually fit.

>>9886392
Boob loaf is half a fit issue and half a bra issue. Just don't wear a padded bra or a minimising bra and you will probably be fine.

>>9886401
Thanks anon, I think I'm gonna go for it. I only wear one type of bra (full coverage with underwire) so I'll hunt for a different bra if it doesn't look right the first time I try it on.

>>9886401
Nayrt, but what kind of bras would you recommend?

>>9886464
nyart i use a sports bra or a thin unwired bra.

I'm thinking of leaving lolita because I just can't seem to find inspiration in it anymore. I love peoples outfits but it just doesn't feel very "me".
I have been struggling a lot mentally at the moment though, feel like I've lost myself and I definitely don't want to fully quit the fashion if I'm going to get out of this slump and want to start wearing it again.
Is there a way I could somehow re interest myself in it? What do you gulls do when you're going through a slump?

>>9886511
I look through the old glbs from when I first fell in love with it. it always makes me feel remotivated in the fashion. there is something about new lolita that bores me, but when I remember what got me into it in the first place, and start thinking of, and about, me and what makes me love lolita, that's when I feel myself getting back into it. it's not about other people to me, it's about how lolita makes ME look and feel to myself. I wear it because I want to wear it, because it makes me feel happy and cute and I love that.

>>9886511

- Slow down and take it easy. Every time I see a youtuber quit lolita it’s inevitably someone who went into it at 200% with fake lashes, wigs, vlog/blogs, the works. You can post less to social media or whatever activity is too much or isn’t making you happy anymore can be dropped. Wear a pretty dress on weekends with sandals and just enjoy the dress, or if that’s still too much, hang it up in your room and admire it.

- Branch out into other substyles/related fashion (otome/girly kei, soft lolita, “Korean office lady”, etc) Sometimes I see someone stuck in a “formula” look that works for them previously, but they no longer like it or they’re bored after a few years. Looking into related fashion helps you see how you can style your existing wardrobe in a different way in a way that better reflects you now.

- Pack everything up and mark a date a few months away. At the end of that date, evaluate again how you feel about lolita. I dealt with not having lolita just fine, but opened my box back up and fell right back in love with my old dresses. Ended up changing my style but kept most of my favorite dresses.

- If all else fails, consider downsizing to just your favorite dresses in complete coords. You can pack them away in vacuum bags so that they’ll always be there whenever you feel like coming back. Then get on with your life, know that the dresses will always be waiting if you want to wear them again. The way lolita is going, whatever you own will probably be a nostalgic “neo old school” in ten year’s time, so there’s no worry about being outdated.

An order from AP right before the site went kaput has already shipped and is almost here, but there's no charges on my card from it. Oh AP, get it together

I looked through the /cgl/ pastebin and most threads and couldn't find anything of the sort.
Is there some sort of pastebin that lists all the possible stores that sell secondhand/used dresses/goods? I know from memory when it comes to japan, mercari and yahoo auctions (dunno if there's more). But for anything else I have no idea other than maybe lacemarket.

>>9886610
Thelolitaguidebook on tumblr has a list you can check out: http://thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/buying

>>9886511
I’ve noticed that I often start to feel this way when I’ve been spending a lot of time with the online communities, especially COF. Scrolling through COF I only like maybe one in twenty posts and end up thinking that this fashion just isn’t for me anymore. The way for me to rekindle my love for it is to step out of the online comms for a while and go back to my inspiration folder and older GLB’s like another anon said. Sometimes I put on some music that makes me feel nostalgic to when I first fell in love with lolita and go through my closet, putting together new coords. This has also helped me work out which pieces I truly love and which pieces I only bought out of hype or because I felt like I needed them at the time for whatever reason. Go back to your roots, but not necessarily to a specific time period. Just try to find what made you feel in love with lolita in the first place and focus on that.

recently picked up a cute blouse from 2006 and I'm a bit confused as to the best way to wear it. I know that sounds strange, but it's not the typical blouse that can be used for whatever purpose... it's... different, let me try to explain. It's actually a bit short, and seems to be designed to wear over clothing, rather than under jsks and such, much like this picture. (it's not this blouse though, and it actually ties at the waist... it's... different, but this style is the closest I can find on lolibrary to it's construction so far.

Does anybody know if

>>9886651
yes

>>9886644
pretty sure you just wear it as a blouse with skirts and such, perhaps over jsks if it works/
