How do I get skid marks out of my btssb bloomers? I'm scared I've ruined them. I really want to be able to sell them in the future if I need to but I can't get the stains out.

We basically have three sweet lolita generals and a gothic general in addition to the general lolita general and I’m bitter there aren’t frequent enough classic releases to warrant a classic lolita general. At least tomorrow we’ll have photos from Innocent World’s new release tea party

I'm going to take this bait and turn it around into a learning opportunity. First, answer to the bait; be a man and use bleach. Second...

Lolita Bloomers are not underwear. Historically, bloomer and drawers (bloomers being the newer word and usually referring to a closed crotch (more 1880s-1910s. Drawers are usually own crotch and came before, more victorian / american civil war) but the version used in Lolita fashion are both cut differently and are not meant to be the closest layer to the skin. Instead of functioning as underwear, Lolita bloomers are meant to cover the panties and act as an emergency modesty shield for if you fall over or the wind picks up. The goal should never be for your bloomers to be completely visible, but some degree of the bloomer leg showing can be start of the look.

That said, bait-anon is either an idiot or a fetishist for not wearing Lolita bloomers appropriately; it's their own stupid fault for staining them, because if worn correctly they would not be stained.

bleh, too early, too many typos; mainly "own crotch" is suppose to be "open crotch". It had to do with women using bigger hoop skirts and crinolines. Once women moved onto "narrower" (relatively speaking) skirts then the crotch could be sewn shut because everything was easier to navigate. Personally I use a pair of actual (very late) Victorian bloomers that the goodwill staff completely mis-identified as something for a Halloween costume. If you can I'd recommend it; the sizing is larger and the lace and pin tucks are higher quality in most cases. Of course condititon is important, but the cotton they used then had a unique sturdiness I love but find hard to describe.

If you can afford lolita you can afford overpriced IBS treatment/medication, adult diapers, or to adjust your diet to help manage your condition. Go make up bullshit somewhere else.

>> No.10439981 [DELETED] 

>>10439950 >>10439954 >>10439972
Agreed. IBS is an umbrella diagnosis for a bunch of different possible causes that all seem to get better through similar treatment means. People have been living with the condition way before it had a label and I'm certain having a bowel problem back in the day was something you were expected to be man enough to just deal with. Getting food poisoned one time out of the blue deserves pity, but a predictable issue you have to live with is something you can plan ahead for and manage.

... Anyway. So who here likes brand masks? Or the idea of brands continuing to make masks in the future from here on out?

>> No.10439996 [DELETED] 

>>10439981

I like brand masks that use unique designs or brand mascots like BTSSB kumya masks and some of the stuff from classic/gothic brands; but the ones that AP and some other have been doing where they are just made from the same printed fabric as dresses seems cute but boring depending on the print. I would rather they be solid with a logo or designed with lace and embroidery or some other detail rather than an afterthought/post COVID cash grab. Masks are great in general even unrelated to disease/illness and brands taking the time to design some unique ones would be very appreciated.

i'm enjoying wearing the brand masks because i don't like my nose... i mean, it's fine, but with a mask it's even better. i think the matching print masks are super cute but very not versatile since they pretty much only match one item. the kumya ones are also very cute, but i dont like items that say only "baby" on them, so i didn't go for it - i wish they had the 'b' symbol instead or the full name or nothing at all. iw's solid color masks are my favorite, but i don't want to bother with an ss.

Same here. I love IW but lately they’ve been producing so many pieces that I can easily make to my own measurements, out of better materials and with pockets for half of what they’re charging (not charging myself for labour obviously) so it’s really hard for me to justify buying plain main pieces from them anymore. The only things I’m still buying are prints, socks and pieces that prominently feature custom lace. I feel like an ass for not supporting my favourite brand enough when they’re struggling but I hate that polyester so, so much.

Meta gets shit on a lot, and being the third most popular brand in a substyle that has two VERY prominent brands is notable. Sure, compared to say PINA Sweet it’s not niche, but if you’ve ever told an AP whore your favorite brand is Meta you’d understand why people are a little defensive about it

I think it depends on the type of fabric. AP chiffon is probably poly/synthetic but it's very very nice; especially when held against taobao or fast fashion normie stuff. But their other printed poly is trash. My only experience with BABY poly was pretty bad. MAXICIMAM poly solids aren't exactly luxurious but feel really nice and have cotton lace and no annoying sheen like some brands do with printed poly.

Meta still is bigger than A, even with AP's sizing increase. The difference in posted measurements of the two brands is that AP's listed measurements are in the middle of sizing allowance, while Meta's is the minimum. AP still has a max bust of 90cm for a lot of OP's, meaning you don't have too much stretch beyond it, while a 90cm bust in Meta will have you still swimming in the dress.

This is like, vintage lolita at this point and it was a minor aesthetic difference but kind of frustrating to see and makes me worried people are altering these super rare irreplaceable pieces.

IW lucky packs are well-known for being great wardrobe fillers, the bigger packs are basically a mini wardrobe in themselves. So if you want to expand your wardrobe really fast, just save up and drop $1k on them, in one go you'll now own 10-20 main pieces along with 10-20 blouses, accessories, socks, etc.

Of course the usual caveats. It'll be filled with what doesn't sell in the sales, so you should be small enough to fit the unpopular sizes and not mind the weirder things IW puts out. Actually I think if you took the weird frills and lace off >>10440655 it would still make a nice toned down OP, but local weather is hot, so it's something I'd avoid.

For the one who received 4 cuts of the same dress... actually I love the print and would have liked to receive it. I also know someone who received 3 of the same rose print dress, which I also love. I don't seem to have that kind of luck though, only ever received very middling lucky packs with nothing really awful or really great in them.

I could have sworn people already posted about this and they showed the plus size and apparently "Plus-plus" size (?) Measurements on their site for a while. Why do people suddenly like Meta and care about wa? (I love Meta but hate most wa. The only piece I've seen that I find cute is the last AP release) it's weird to me that a thread or two ago this was brought up and no one cares until now. If Meta is making it for fatties they want fatties to wear it. The brand is endorsing it. Weird though cause many other Meta pieces don't go that large besides older fully shirred stuff and that one tent like sailor OP.

No.
Sometimes the elastic is just too tight to wear a piece comfortably. This happens extremely often with skirts but may be true to jsks as well. If you're above average japanese height, the elastic of a jsk will squeese your ribcage which may affect breathing and cause fainting.

>> No.10442431

>>10442418
elastic won't make you faint or squeeze your ribs in any dangerous way, retard at most it's uncomfortable and puts pressure on the stomach. the real issue is the max measurement is just that, the max. it's a can vs. should situation. generally if the min is 10cm or more than the max it will look like shit and be lumpy until the rubber stretches out to accommodate it because it's made to return to the min measurement after wearing.

>> No.10442438

>>10442418
In my experience as someone above average Japanese height, if you're under max measurements, it's not the elastic that's the problem, but the cut is too high to sit comfortably on the body. The dress isn't properly portioned to your body then, and taking out the elastic will do nothing for that. It's mainly a problem with older pieces since newer ones are typically more generous in sizing but the skirts are too short.

Originally it was a tea party exclusive and there is probably a cap to tea party attendance or a guesstimate of who all attended, right? Maybe they just estimated based on that since people going probably want the exclusive piece.
