Constellation Aurora Dreams is still nearly in full stock at AP USA... I'm tempted to walk in just to see it for myself. AP has a long history of shit-tier shock photos and I wonder if this is a victim of that.

I love the actual details in the print, but the dress looks like they accidentally hit 'tile' instead of 'fill screen' and it ends up just looking like noise. I'm having trouble imagining it's any better in person.

[Anonymous No.10243457]

I was about to comment on Constellation Aurora Dreams point that it's probably not what american lolitas usually like and that made me wonder. Is there some regional preference for prints or cuts? We know that chinese lolitas like these gradient dresses, princess cuts and Misty Sky. What's for Japan, US and Europe? I remember how Dreamy Baby Room was dope popular in Japan, but US lolitas took it pretty cool. Anything else?

I don't mean to start another flame war re: the dress, but does anyone know where I can read that interview of Trevor Brown from Gothic & Lolita Bible Volume 24, translated? An anon or two mentioned reading it in the last thread, but it's autosaging now.
I've searched high and low, to no avail. I'd like to build some sort of understanding of the nature of his involvement with the Lolita scene in Japan (and the general alt scene, I guess, considering Urbangarde and Kuua Oyasumi keep putting him on).

The article I referred to in the last thread was from https://japantoday.com/category/features/is-there-more-to-controversial-art-of-trevor-brown-than-meets-the-eye
The article is from 2009, so it might be the same one translated.

First, that print and cut looks a lot nicer NOT in the stock photos.

To answer your question, US trend varies, but is kind of the opposite of the trend in Japan, hence why cgl complains a lot. Jfashion just has gotten normier than before. So, a lot of people don't wear full lolita coords unless its a big brand party. US is just barely getting out of its more structured phase, despite what Instagram shows. Europe is still pretty OTT in comparison.
My personal thought is that it's location based. Japan judges you a lot, US judges but less institutionally, and Europe matches with their history.

I want a lolita friend so desperately. I've been wearing this fashion for ten years now and my only "friends" were these two gate keeper wannabe elitists in high school (who ironically always looked like absolute shit or barely decent at best). I'm about to be 27 and still haven't made a single friend in the fashion because I don't participate in the online community at all besides lurking and I don't live anywhere near a city that has an active comm. I wish like hell I had a well dressed lolita friend around my age that I could twin and gush about releases with.

I'm so confused over the people on twitter who complain about the price of the Mana doll. It's a full set, full body volks doll. It's moitie, and there's also a ticket for an event included. Of course it isn't cheap. When moitie releases coats for 60-75k no one complains but a limited doll is suddenly unfair and not cheap enough for fans? Idgi

They don't know anything about the bjd market if they felt the need to complain. I'm pretty sure standard volks undressed go for about $600-700, not including any extra fee and taxes.

i really hate generalizing, but it feels like half the time i make lolita friends they end up being vain flakes. Theyre late, or push plans off, and then spend the whole time on their phone. I get we are a very visual experience but if youre hanging out with someone and its not an event, why cant you just put the phone down and enjoy the tea?

(Mind you this isnt everyone. I have several very good friends in lolita, i just notice at least half i make end up this way)

[Anonymous No.10243545]

>>10243533
I understand that when people wear lolita it adds a whole lot of pressure to going out. They have to spend a lot of time getting ready, it can be uncomfortable physically, and going out in public can make people anxious, so I get it. But one thing that does annoy me is the phone thing. Please respect my time and the fact that we all put effort into getting here and let's at least have a conversation.

ayrt, you could say that but i feel its even more excessive with lolitas. constantly taking photos and selfies, deco-ing them out, fucking around on social media, etc. i can honestly say i dont have this issue with my other friends who arent lolitas. sure we check our phones on occasion like when driving from one place to another, but its not nearly as heavy as lolitas.

>>10243545
see this is a mentality i dont get. its not uncomfortable, and if youre anxious then dont go out. i see lolita as just clothing and dont feel a need to document every single outfit or activity i do. i just want to go out and hang with people with a similar interest but some are making that very difficult.

jfc same, every lolita I have become friends with is a huge flake, always on their phone/chatting with people on messenger during hangouts, or a scrooge of a penny pincher. Like, won't tip at restaurants, constantly complain about the price of everything, or don't pay people for gas when picking their ass up.

I only maintain these friendships online now, sparingly. It's just not fucking worth it.

About half lolitas I have met in my life were like this. You just have to realize that many lolitas treat the fashion as their escapism outlet and that there is either something mentally or socially wrong with them which prevents them from sozializing like a normal person would. As a result lot of them are unreliable procrastinators and/or self-centered snowflakes. Of course this comes accross as asshole behaviour but once you realize that there is something much deeper wrong with this person you can accept it without getting hurt and move on more easily.

It was the tagline for /cgl/ for a while. I remember seeing someone's explanation for it being
"bought 40 dicks... and sucked them all" = she's a slut
"bought from eBay" = it was really looked down upon to buy your costumes instead of making them
It perfectly encapsulated /cgl/ in 12 words.

I used to wear lolita more on a daily basis back when I had very low self esteem and really struggled socially. Since then I have changed quite a bit, I’m much more open and have a lot of friends. As such, lolita reminds me of being very cringy and a lot of uncomfortable times. I don’t talk about lolita to anyone anymore, so none of my friends know I used to wear it or that I still have a moderately sized collection.
There’s an upcoming meet I’d like to attend, I’m nervous to go because I don’t know how people will react or whatever (a lot of people I know outside lolita will be at the event too). Looking for some advice. I always get really worried people will think I am ageplaying or something similar if they see me wearing lolita because it’s so different to my everyday wear. I wear basically 3 outfits constantly so everything I would wear to this meet would be different from my usual and I worry it’s too much of a change.

God I feel so stupid right now.

[Anonymous No.10244892]

>>10244884
What kind of advice do you want to hear? Just fucking wear it. If you're worried what people might think and you connect lolita with feeling uncomfortable, what is the point in owning it? Why do you want to wear it? Do you even want to wear it?
Sorry for the aggressive tone, but I've been hearing and reading stuff like this so often lately. Y'all need to stop treating it like a costume or uniform you can only wear to one occasion. It's a fashion and if you can't or don't like wearing it anymore for whatever reason, there's no point in holding on to it.

[Anonymous No.10244894]

>>10244884
My advice is to start slowly incorporating it into your normal wardrobe, little things like accessories or charms at first. And if people ask about it, just say that you have always been into the fashion, but never really had a chance to bring it up and you want to start it again now.

[Anonymous No.10244911]

>>10244892
You’re right don’t apologise lol. I feel like I built lolita as some integral part of my identity and leaving the comm would be failing myself in some way. At the same time as wanting to wear the clothes I look through every piece in my wardrobe and find some reason I don’t want to wear it. But then I find something I like about it and have to keep it, ie I have a Baby jsk that I think the neckline is super unique, but the print is ugly af and I will never ever wear it.
>>10244894
This is what I’ve been meaning to do for ages.

How large are your legs? I have moderately muscular calves and my meta patterned socks work a lot better than say, AP or IW ones, but still warping occurs to the print somewhat. They aren’t made to be plus sized but are more forgiving for sure.

On that not can we please go back to tagging our color schemes? I used to love browsing coords on LJ by pink x mint or black x red. Although some names are better than others. #halloweentreats is way too common of a term than #holylantern

You can like, appreciate, and follow a fashion without participating in it. As long as people are respectful and don't try to act like they're snobs, I don't see the issue.

I never once mentioned "lolita at heart" snowflakes. There is a difference between admiring a fashion (which is a form of artistic expression) and claiming to be a part of it just because you admire it. I mentioned specifically "as long as they aren't snobs" specifically to address those who assume they know all about the fashion just because they follow along closely. Maybe you guys are still hanging around children? Or talking to people too much at cons?

By your definition, people like Imai Kira (who is a self proclaimed otome who admires lolita greatly but does not consider herself one) is a "weeb" and/or "broke teen" who cannot possibly understand the fashion in ANY capacity which is...frankly just an ignorant and immature view to take. Not everyone who enjoys the fashion is a broke teen or weeb. There are plenty of mature well rounded people who simply don't have the time (because they have OTHER passions they focus on) or money (because they have OTHER passions and responsibilities that they prioritize) to dedicate into actually building any kind of wardrobe for themselves. And that's okay.

>you can keep being delusional and insisting you’re a part of a fashion

Where is this coming from? Why does someone have to think they are a PART of something to be a fan of it? Maybe that's where you're getting confused here. I can like expressionist and surreal art without considering myself an "expressionist" or "surrealist" nor consider myself an expert. Is this conversation hurting your sense of self worth or something? You're kinda sounding cringy yourself right now, Anon.

“Lolitas do not always feel good about themselves…It is not something that I am right now, but I used to! Actually, I think it has something to do with adolescence. I think that lolitas are way too attached to material things, and this is the main difference with otomes. Otome is more of a way of living because what is in your heart is more important then the things you’re wearing. Of course, I dress in a particular way and that’s otome, but I thing that it’s still something different. I think it reflects my heart and not a brand or particular style, so it has nothing to do with commercial universe. I would describe an otome as a frail, charming but not especially pretty doll- can you see the difference between charming and lovely?- It’s something really different in the end. I think that when you are Lolita, you hold the potential in your heart to accomplish yourself and to become an otome. I guess it’s a question of maturity. Of course, these are only my ideas! On the contrary, Lolita love to buy and to have the latest clothes from their favorite brand and even the little useless things, a lot of useless things! This the difference that I noticed between the Lolitas in Tokyo who are obsessed with their shopping, and the Lolitas from the provinces that are much farther away: it’s really a way of living and thinking for them. The Lolitas outside of Tokyo do everything with their heart while the Lolitas in Tokyo do everything with their wallet. … The most important thing is how far you’ve gone in your heart. I think the same as Francois and Fumiko: Lolita is not a fashion because fashion quickly falls out of favor, but lolitas have been here for a long time and will remain here.”

Don't be dense, fandom implies more than just being a fan. Fandom is a community of fans who are in exchange/communication, which doesn't work for lolita because you'd lump actual lolitas and people who just like the look together, making the exchange difficult because their experience with the subject matter is so different. The result is the same like people who come to meets in their normie outfits. There is no real community and a huge gap, they are not part of the fashion despite how much they claim to be fans.

I hanged out with two others but in normie clothes and did not enjoy it. It takes time to find people you’ll connect with and even then it may not last :(

Do you have a reading impediment or something? Why does the false equivalency of being a fan of something means you MUST consider yourself a part of it keep being brought up? Do you need to play football to be a football fan? Do you need to paint abstract artwork before you can appreciate abstract art? Do you need to sew your own lolita dresses before you can admire the craftsmanship that went into it?

This is really sounding more and more like YOU have some special snowflake mindset going on here. Like those "non-confirmists" goth kids who go off about how "nobody can truly understand me" and everyone is a poser. That's how you look right now, Anon. It's most embarrassing behavior. Lolita isn't some incomprehensible concept that's impossible for mere mortals to grasp.

How old are you? Trying not to make that sound like an insulting question, I'm actually really curious. I don't think anyone over the age of 25 should still view people collectively under such a strictly defined umbrella like you're doing right now. The world is a lot larger and more complex than you're giving credit, and individuals are not some hivemind of ADHD teens seeking acceptance by spamming social media.

Lolitas at heart are the same as the people in the “lolita fandom.” It’s just someone trying to use a different label to make their argument sound better.

Nobody here is arguing that. It's like you didn't read the thread and don't understand what this discussion is about. Go back to >>10243709. Everyone agrees that you are not part of lolita fashion if you are only a fan. But that doesn't mean that a group of fans suddenly isn't real just because you hate them and don't want them to be real. Look at any big lolita group or lolita brand page and you'll see people who don't wear the fashion interacting in the comments section of their posts.

No it isn't. There are those who consider themselves "lolita at heart" and lump themselves into the fandom, but that isn't everyone. Your argument is flawed because it follows this syntax:

No? Here's the OP, quoted:
>God I hate when people call lolita a fandom. It's not a fandom, it's a fucking fashion. You have to wear it to belong to it.

Maybe it'll help if you stopped projecting for a second. The original argument denies that lolita has a fandom, and rejects the notion that anyone can be into the fashion without actually wearing it. That's what's being argued here. Everything else is just your insecurities coming to fruition embarrassingly on display for all to see.

Again, being a fan and a fandom, a community of fans who are in communication about the source material are two different things. In fandom the fans are equal, in lolita they are not. A fandom would include actual wearers and people who just like the fashion, which leadsto what was already mentioned itt. Besides idk how you can call yourself a fan if you can't even bother to sacrifice one weekend and 50 bucks to wear it. Speaking in your metaphors, that's like someone saying they are a fan of Harry potter and part of the fandom because they like the House Personality Tests even though they've never read or watched the source material.

They can cry fandom all they want, draw art for their bottom tier ocs, dream a supposedly impossible dream, but their input will never matter to the community.

Where is the difference in putting it on and hiding every revealing part of your body? It doesn't reveal any more than a wardrobe shoot and shows that you can wear what you own and aren't just, in your own words "some obsessed collector of the fashion that stores them all in a closet". If you are, just say it and your posts can be dismissed.

Somewhere in between. Their busts are cut shallow but the shirring is usually fairly generous, especially the half-shirred dress (aka the back is fully shirred). What's usually noticeable is a "floating" waist because your bust will widen the dress, but due to the shallow bust cut, the waist just doesn't curve back in enough to actually touch your waist, it just "floats" wherever after your bust.

If you're really worried with big boobs, I'd go for the jsk instead. Without the sleeves being attached the fit is a bit less obvious. And of course, definitely be way under the max measurements (not that Meta ever posts those...)
