It's pretty risky; I would say there is a slight chance you could get away with accessories or foundational items, but it would take a ton of effort to both find and implement stuff from amazon in a way that doesn't look bad. I would reccondment (besides lace market) looking on eBay and selling apps. It seems like more EGL is showing up on dePop for some reason.

Just act how you normally would around normies and you should be okay. All the regular rules like not being too loud or hyperactive are exactly the same. Idk where you are on the spectrum so it's hard to give solid advice other then yea just do what you normally do to avoid trouble in public.
Oh and if someone in your lolita comm shits on you for no reason other than your autism, then THEY'RE the embarrassment- not you.

So I found these absolutely adorable dresses but the size information is confusing me a little. I know Asian sizes run small; as I'm a US medium I had JP/KR/ZH size L in mind. But uh, let's use this as an example.
http://www.milkcocoa.co.kr/shop/detail.php?pno=983150897DEED57C48CE319B02828221
I'm seeing S, M, S +5cm, and M +5cm in the sizing options. Typically where would these additional 5cms go, assuming other KR or other brands do this as well? Or does it depend entirely on how they're feeling that day?

Also, the total length is 81cm/31in which okay, that's fine. But for the medium sized option the bust is 43cm/16.9in and the waist is fucking 35cm/13.78in. Their other dresses follow a similar pattern where the length is fine but the waist and busts are children's sized. Is there some kind of mistake on their end? I get that Asian clothes are small but this seems a bit excessive.

On chinkstyle, the same dress (which of course might be a knock off one but the reviews for a lot of ""Doowex"" items are almost always good) has far more reasonable measurements.
https://www.yesstyle.com/en/short-url/info.html/pid.1064184774
88cm bust and 70cm waist for medium.

What do you guys think?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 23:18:26 2019 No.10182953 >>10182876 It's a flat lay measurement. You're supposed to double the bust/waist measurements to get the real size. 86 cm bust and 70cm waist. >I'm a US medium >Thinking that means anything

It is good though to always assume you are one size larger at LEAST if you are a westerner shopping Japanese brands. When telling new Lolitas this, some have pointed out how thin they might be so how can they be a size larger... It's not only an issue of "fat" or "thin"; it's also an issue of frame size. Shoulder size. Hips... It's just the safe bet to always go one up (this even applies to Uniqulo)

Maybe try to find some Suppurate System accessories? Some of them feature apples and they look fantastic in gothic. I can't tell you how easy they are to find nowadays unfortunately, but if you can't find them secondhand you might be able to find something similar on Etsy, or use their designs as inspiration and make some accessories yourself.

Are Brand bloomers/drawers worth investing in? More importantly, are they machine washablel? I'm considering wearing some outside of Lolita during winter to keep me warm and give some dresses some poof.

Attached picture is one on Amazon I think I might buy but I want to check if anyone got it.

When I got into lolita my friend got burando ones and I got everything else -- Amazon, eBay and Bodyline ones, because I'm not made of money and she is.

Ugh so many problems with mine. The ribbons (that are actually used to tie the bloomers) were cheap giftwrap ribbons that rolled up and got tangled in themselves, that's when they're not becoming just untied by themselves and hanging down everywhere. The fabric on all of them was really loud, like even without anything on I'd walk across my own room and the RUSTLING sound was enough to rustle my jimmies.

I don't know if brand is "worth it", I can certainly tell you the cheap no-name ones are definitely not worth it.

But, you have other options than no-name vs burando.
- There's probably gulls in the taobao threads who can tell you which taobao brands are halfway decent.
- Other girls wear safety shorts or cycling shorts instead of bloomers, and someone once recommended men's boxers.
- If you want something frilly and cute, look at pj bottoms, some of them come in cute prints, frilly bits and are sure to be comfy.

In my opinion - Yes, absolutely. I used to own several pairs of Bloomers from Anna House and Bodyline and they were nowhere near as comfortable and well made as the brand bloomers and drawers that I own now. If your budget is limited I suggest you look into buying them secondhand, finding them in new condition is rather easy on the Japanese market.

if you're a daily lolita, you should own maybe one or two nice ones, and buy the rest from taobao or something. It's too easy to ruin undergarments and owning cheaper ones you don't mind ruining and wearing often. I own a couple from taobao which are good for daily wear. Here, i'll link them:

most people. for whatever reason, don't consider maxicimam "brand" like the main AP/Baby/Meta, etc. Probably because they are cheaper, and while I still vouch for them, they are a bit questionable at times quality/design wise. Their bloomers are great, and popular brand quality though.

Who is buying and wearing all this stuff from ozz on/qutie frash/similar brands? Sometimes it seems to sell out super quick when it appears on CC, so obviously they have a fan base, but I feel like I never see it worn?

I can't speak for the actual brand, but you can make your own oxyclean and it's color safe. It's almost the only thing I use now to get out stains. It's a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate (which you can easily make from baking soda). If you're in the US you can get the two components for less than $5 and they'll last you much longer than Oxyclean (which also smells gross). Look it up.

Most of mine are from AP and Meta, The shirring can usually stretch another 10~15cm, though like anon says this number varies wildly. Sometimes the fabric is wide but the elastic just doesn't stretch that far without breaking something.

You also should take note that with a fully shirred back there is usually no side zipper. So although something with an 80cm bust *might stretch up to 95cm, if the waist is 60cm you'd expect it to stretch to 75cm, if you can't fit either your bust or hips through that size of opening, you're never gonna get that dress past your head/your knees.

The factory itself has a max capacity of how many dresses it can produce a day, it's not like you can crank up the speed to infinity and magically produce more dresses without pushing back the deadline.

Derp, hit post before I'd finished replying. I find underbust JSKs too "out there" to wear to work here since regular JSKs translate to "oh, a dress" as opposed to "dirndl"/costume shape which is the only context some people have seen an underbust dress in. It does depend on how fashionable a city you live in though, as if they're used to more variety you may be ok

Put something the exact same colour (fabric if possible) underneath it. All the details blur together and it becomes "a dress, with maybe a bib, or whatever this detailing is", rather than "two layers and one of them is a wenchy drindl".

If you wear a bolero over it you'll also hide the underbust cut.

it depends on what you're going for. i remember reading somewhere gothic lolita is not necessarily gothic in the western fashion sense. gothic lolita brands can release pink florals and you can also wear light ''classic'' make-up with pretty much all egl releases. on the other hand, visual kei make-up looks awesome.

I'd say tucked in 90% of the time. If your skirt has a fully elastic waistband it would probably look better to leave your blouse untucked but most of the time I find that unless they have shirring or corset lacing blouses tend to be baggy in the waist which doesn't look good with a lolita silhouette.

I'm pruning my closet of hype train pieces I bought brand new from brands. I have zero ambition to get rid of anything quickly.

I really want to price over their value, maybe about 50-100 per piece. Would I get labeled a scalper? I've never snagged anything off Japanese auctions just to resell. They're all just brand new with tags or worn once pieces I regretted and it's all well taken care of. Some of them are also complete sets.

Would people hate me or just see me as a person who's willing to sit on their items until they get the sale?

To prevent staining in the first place, look for a deodorant without aluminum that goes on clear. Wash blouses after use and don't let sweat and deodorant (esp if it has aluminum) build up and sit in that area of the garment. Perhaps an undershirt would help with transferring sweat, too. Also, try and stay in air conditioned areas when wearing lolita in summer. Basically, just know your body and how much heat it can tolerate. If you're spending a decent portion of the day outside in the heat and are worried about excessive sweating, then maybe don't wear lolita that day.

Has anyone here ever had a Taobao dress as their dream dress? I feel like that must be hard because unless it's something really popular like Nameless Poem, it's going to be nearly impossible to find on the secondhand market, and then there's complications with sizing. Feels bad since I have some dream designs I've missed out on myself, feels like I'll probably never see them again since the designs aren't that popular.

i'm sure this question is asked a lot so sorry. I live in a very hot and humid environment so the thought of wearing tights and a blouse right now is horrifying (although I'm sure there's plently of light and flowy blouses out there.)

There absolutely are, look for short sleeved chiffon blouses. Some even come as crop tops to make wearing a JSK as bearable as possible.
For leg wear, try ankle socks or lacy tights.
Maybe get a hoop skirt with some good bloomers underneath. I haven’t tried those yet but I’m sure it’s way nicer than wearing a petticoat.
Parasols are useful if you can’t stay in the shade. Maybe a full sized straw/boater hat if it fits your coordinate.

If you like classic, IW has released quite a few summer OPs in the past, both in cotton and poly, always thin and unlined and very comfy to wear in hot weather. I own several and practically live in them in summer. I also wear many JSKs with chiffon/thin cotton boleros, or chiffon/thin cotton shawls on top if it's really warm. I also switch out my OTKs with knee socks, but of course you can wear ankle socks if you prefer, and wear short shorts instead of bloomers. Also, a parasol won't help much if it's humid but carrying portable shade is always a huge bonus imo, so I recommend that too.

I keep thinking about making one-off accessories from prints I own for me. I'm not sure if this is ethically dubious/along the same line as bootlegs? I wouldn't be selling it, just making the one for me.It wouldn't be anything that already exists from brands (exiting rings, brooches, etc). I'm more interested in making things like print-inspired acrylic and wooden brooches for my wardrobe and my wardrobe only. I'm not looking to make a profit in any way.

For example, I got the Honey Cake JSK in the MTO and I really want a wooden pin of the Honey Bear. I do Artist Alleys often so I have the resources to just make a single sample through a manufacturer. But I would basically be just redrawing the bear in the print - and that gives me a bit of pause like... is this still on some level art theft?

Check by the actual dress itself on Lolibrary or ask in the lolita general if there’s no listing on Lolibrary.

Most of my full back shirring from AP and newer than 2014 can go up to 108cm~, but older than 2014 and it’s usually about 100cm~. The baby & AatP pieces that I have that are full back shirring are quite generous. Meta is hit or miss and depends on age.

From southern US, hoopskirts are really comfy in the summer months when it’s ungodly hot. Easy to sit in, as the hoops are flexible usually. Weird to drive in as the hoops kind of pop up vertically in the car, but not an issue when sitting on regular chairs. Easy to travel with because you can easily collapse the hoops by twisting them (look it up on YouTube, it’s similar to collapsing those sun shades for cars). Also, they stand up to heavy dresses really well so you don’t have worry about achieving max poof in heavy garments.

I'd encourage you to pick up sewing for reasons other than lolita -- you can fix your own clothes instead of throwing them out, upcycle thrift store finds, make exactly what you want to wear/use, make your own stuff/gifts, and a side bonus is learning how much raw materials cost and how difficult it is to put things together will give you an eye for quality.

That said, what you really need is time to draft, cut fabric and sew, not money. So a "job with pretty good pay" means it's gonna be easier to buy dresses (or pay someone else to make them for you) rather than sew it yourself.

Just wanted to put this into perspective rather than a blanket "nope".

I realize that buying one would be faster and cheaper than making one but I wasn't planning to make them just for myself, first I wanted to make something for a 80cm doll I own and then for my little sister and eventually for selling on ebay.
Although I am getting a good job after summer, it's still a year-by-year contract so I don't know how long I'll be able to support myself with just that, anything can happen a secondary income would be safer.

Fixing things is a useful skill indeed. I guess for the materials I can try find good ones from online stores? rather than local ones.

What is the general opinion on buying cloth and threads online?

>opinion on buying cloth and threads online

Tricky. Well, I've misguessed two fabric purchases recently so I'm feeling it rn.

If you must shop online, avoid quilting stores that only have one single overexposed image of the print. I've had some useable and some terrible fabric come this way with no indication the fabric would be downright sheer or have a paper-like drape to it.

What you want are the shops that show you the actual fabric, with a button/ruler for scale, a bit of folding to see the drape, and then you sort of have to use your imagination to fill in the blanks (eg, very few shops show you the full fabric, which is a pitfall. Sometimes fabric looks cute but when it's on a repeat and all over your body it might turn out rather garish instead of cute). There's a lot of uncertainty though, colour matching is a bitch, and you can certainly guess wrong, it's just a risk you have to be comfortable with, if the fabric that arrives turns out to be something different, have some plans like what other fabric you can use instead, can you change your plans to accommodate whatever's odd with the fabric (thin fabric can be underlined, for eg, poor drape doesn't really have a fix), hoard the fabric for a different project, that kind of thing. Don't put a project on single-track rails, be flexible and change things up if it looks like what you planned isn't panning out.

Usually if you look for a fabric with something interesting in its weave, like cotton jacquard here, it's harder to go wrong (keep away from the canvas fabrics meant for making shopping bags though).

Thread matching can be difficult as well, I'll admit I have like 5 different shades of navy and 3 different pinks from purchases that didn't work out. Seems like I end up hoarding the purchases that don't work out.

For the cheapest fabric, you're better off thrifting cheap bedsheets until you have the sewing machine figured out, before you spend money on the good stuff.

I found some dresses of a brand called tomybear on ali and I wanted to check the official store on taobao but it says the store doesn't exist.
Did the name of the brand change or did they move to another online store? it's supposed to be a famous brand according to the reviews.

>>10192855

- Don't pull the knot tight, just enough to have the bow in place.
- Flip the one that's inside out to right side out. Without the knot being too tight you should be able to get it to mostly flip right side out
- Once the tails and both sides of bow are the right side out, tighten the knot.

If it's tricky to tie on your back, tie a bow first, unbutton it, adjust and tighten the bow, then button it back on.

Primark is godly if you're eu-based. I wear fishnets to work every other day, and they're legit. Plus they're only about £3 so a rip here or there doesn't matter if you keep stocked up. Maybe not the answer you wanted, but they're good.

Something I forgot to add: if you wash them like normal clothes then they'll rip. Even expensive ones I've bought have ripped due to bad washing, so you want to treat them delicately. Wash them in a laundry bag or on a light cycle or something.

If the seller doesn't explicitly say they're looking to trade the jsk for the OP, it's far more likely they just want the dress gone and don't even want your OP, much less having to pay you any kind of money on top of an exchange they don't want.

If they're looking to trade, then yes, it's reasonable to ask for trade + money.

Then whats hard about just being honest and direct and saying ”I have the OP but it's in x condition and worth $xxx, are you willing to consider a trade and add the price difference as a payment to make the transaction equal?”

In the charm ribbon, I’m a size 39. In the Crystal Twinkle Ball, I’m a 38. In Pretty Change, I’m a 39. In Charm Ribbon High Heel, I’m 38.

I find her sizing inconsistent, but I appear to run one size larger in the flats than in the heels. Like >>10193574 said, don’t even bother using her size chart numbers to convert your size from a US to EU. Just measure your foot and try it that way.
