In my opinion I think part of it may be because classic brands have historically (pun not intended) been known for better construction so there's a lot more to live up to when selling to classic lolitas imo, and western designers can't even tailor well enough for sweet, let alone have the skills to execute classic well. And for that level of construction and detail a small indie seamstress would have to charge a lot more. There have been some indie makers with a higher price point that lean classic, off the top of my head, IxDoxDeclare and 4-clock (if she's still around).

As for gothic, I guess there are a handful of western goth brands that have dipped into lolita now and then but I don't know, the community and thus demand seems even smaller. And I do wear gothic, so I would be open to it as well.

it's not illegal for anyone to ask you to do them a favor. the way this kind of thing usually happens is your employer "encourages" (guilts or pressures) people into doing certain things off the clock, and as people start doing these things, others worry that their job security will be at risk if they don't do it too.

This made me remember In the Starlight and Candy Violet. I think the western indie market right now is almost entirely obese girls who don't fit into AP so they flock to western indie, which is why it's all AP wannabe style.

From the Mathilde v2 dress
>Size 3. Bust – 112-127 cm.
Arm hole circumference – up to 56 cm.
Wrist – 25 cm.
Neckline circumference – up to 52 cm.
Skirt length - 68 cm
We do not give the waist measurement, because this is a loose cut dress and therefore waistline is wider than bust.

How much bigger do they expect them to be? Even size 2 would fit my boobs if not be loose. I think she's right, they really don't look at the sizing. She's probably one of the MOST size inclusive brands in this case...

And you can always get something that big tailoring to your exact measurements if its not comfortable.

This is why catering to large sizes is always a losing battle. No matter how large you make it there’s always a cut off point and there’s always someone unhappy that it doesn’t fit them. I guess indie brands have to do this to compete with smaller brand sizing but I can’t imagine it’s profitable to keep adding sizes. More material and more development.

>> No.10679590,1 [INTERNAL] 

As a big ass lolita, my problem with Kaneko is always the bodice length. I enjoy classic OPs but I eyeball those pieces and already know each dress will land the waist right at my nips. JSK straps are easy to adjust but I really wish I could wear that Book of Flowers OP.
If the designers were smart they'd try some elasticated necklines on a few designs.

Fitting samples on an actual fatty-chan body might help. I'm assuming they haven't done this at all.

>> No.10683467

Short easy answer is they're lazy.

Longer answer is its complex and American society prioritizes profit of big companies and a false sense of "freedom" over health and well being of people so things like lack of healthcare, lack of public outdoor spaces in some areas (for exercise when you can't afford the gym) food deserts in which people have trouble finding fresh healthy foods, or even just things that aren't gas station or convenience store garbage items, an abundance of cheap and easily available trash food that tastes good and comes hot and ready so people who have little time or energy to cool because or work, kids, etc. are more likely to buy it. There are a ton of factors on a lot of levels. The fact that weight loss has been promoted in unhealthy ways for years doesn't help either. Rather than seeing health and fitness as a tool for self love and improving your longevity and boosting serotonin, etc. magazines tell already healthy women they're fat and need to be thinner to be pretty and focus on looks and the standard of what is pretty and not what's good for you. Our culture is fucked in a lot of ways. Also losing weight takes time. Years if you're as big as those larger pieces. They may want to still enjoy lolita in the meantime and definitely need like normie clothes for occasions like job interviews, workout clothes, dinner with friends,etc. Even if you're losing weight you can still enjoy other parts of your life and you need clothes that are suited for what you want to do.

>> No.10683469

>>10683467
Oh yeah also once you're that big you definitely have some sort of eating disorder or food addiction. Mental illness at minimum. I say it from personal experience. It's hard to overcome that. But people see it as a self discipline issue and don't pity or want to get help for morbidly obese food addicted people the same way they do other EDs so they have to break out of their addiction on their own much of the time, but still need food to survive, so it's tricky for them.

But I’ve never actually seen a single fat person pay indie pricing for something that fits.

The thing is in burgerland fatties have a victim complex and it’s a new hot button sjw issue to coddle and pretend that you can be healthy at any size.

Contrary to popular opinion I actually think Lolita is one of the most plus size friendly and accessible fashions out there. You think Chanel has anything even close 100cm waist? Let alone 160. Even among alt fashion I’d say Lolita is pretty damn good by comparison and the silhouette hides weight really well as long as you’re not actually enormous. Even for enormous people, the bell shape gives the illusion of having a waist.

I’m not huge, but I’m certainly not thin and Lolita has been pretty easy for me compared to even normie fashion. I just think fat people have a built in trigger around something not fitting that they’ll fly off the handle even when there are tons of plus size options out there.

as a "debu-chan" 100% this

despite the fact that i am either actively losing or at the very least trying to lose weight at all times, disordered eating is constantly kicking my ass.

i can't just ignore it when i'm actively starving. your brain literally will not let you, especially if you're traumatized by food insecurity or have leptin resistance from overeating.

worst part? even healthy foods can be high calorie so even though I'm eating something like grilled chicken with a salad or vegetables, I can still eat too much of it because I'm not full from a "normal" serving. it takes a LONG time to adjust your body to regular eating.

i still want to wear lolita without having to compromise on a "someday" weight so i appreciate it when brands, indie or not, make clothing that I can fit into.

(disclaimer: i am not "mega" sized so i can't speak for people of that size, but I am still in the plus size range)

Even at my busiest and poorest I never got fat. Rice, ground meats, beans, veggie stir frys, and legumes are all dirt cheap, healthy, and extremely easy to make even for someone like me who doesn’t know how to cook. Healthy breakfast shakes were too. Bananas and apples are cheap and healthy and require no preparation, but fatties always snack on chips. Yogurt and string cheeses are cheap and healthy with no preparation, but fatties snack on ice cream. Drinking soda with your meals is not cheaper than water. And major cities aren’t food deserts so that doesn’t apply to any of the fatties where I live.

The real issue is sugar addiction and lack of willpower. Every fat person I’ve known growing up was a habitual snacker who took far more time and money preparing and consuming food than I did, so poverty was definitely not an excuse. Carrying around snacks is not normal unless you’re doing physical labor or exercising, both of which those fatties were not doing. Eating a fuckton of sugar just became their normal, and they could not control or satiate their hunger.

Also most lolitas are fat these days so idk why you think they’re out of touch thin women. Every meet is full of whining about weight with little action.

I agree. Making good choices sounds obvious and easy but those people often do need their hand held by a professional if they’re serious about changing their lifestyle.

Like other anon I grew up poor but the priority was making sure we had food that would last the month, and healthy choices were secondary. I did not learn how to make healthy choices until university and that is very very late imo. If that’s how you grew up and your family eats that way it seems normal even though it isn’t. Better access to help if they have a food addiction/deal with emotional eating or grew up worrying about food scarcity can make a difference especially if they’re learning proper nutrition and portion sizes too. Shaming people and yo-yo dieting never ends well.

That being said it feels like a good investment to take better care of your health to feel your best while wearing lolita if losing weight is a concern. I would not enjoy hearing about someone wanting to lose weight and see them make choices that go against it at meets, but it’s easy enough to ignore or change the subject.

Uhh idk about you but I don't do physical labor or exercise often, but I can only eat small portions and get full quick but hungry again super fast so in uni or when I worked in an office I had to bring carrots or fruit or nuts and stuff to snack on. Not fat and snacking is not inherently fat people behavior kek. You sound like someone super ignorant if you believe SNACKS of all things are what make people fat.

Obesity is a disease and an eating disorder desu just as much as the others. Snacks are not what causes people to be fat. Mental illness and to some degree ignorance or lack of proper food education is.

A lot of people who are fat grew up that way. If you’ve grown up eating a certain way your entire life it’s VERY hard to change it.

Also part of it is stress I would say, rather than not having access to healthy food. If you’re stressed out your body says “why not have those chips? You deserve it for working so hard” so your body seeks food that feels good.

Not justifying being obese, just saying that will power is psychologically more difficult than you might think.

Imo unless it's genetics or you have some medical condition that causes constant weight-gain (either of those is rarely ever the case, let's be real here) there's not really an excuse for being fat, be it because someone's lazy, poor or doesn't have the time. Diet alone can fix A LOT, like you don't even have to starve yourself for it to work. I'm a eurofag so I might be biased when it comes to the accessability of healthy foods but it's very affordable here. You can choose whether you buy vegetables and a bag of rice or a big pack of microwave ravioli, I rarely see downright obese people around here, even in areas with many poor/low-income residents. Of course cooking takes effort and time, but that takes us back to the laziness aspect.

Otherwise, add walking to your daily routine, walk instead of driving short distances. Even doing small things to improve your overall lifestyle, such as fixing your sleep schedule or seeing a therapist, can do wonders. I 100% agree with >>10684833 about help/therapy accessability and seeing a professional if you can't do any of these things alone at all, too. Most obese people do have eating disorders after all, unfortunately.

congrats on living somewhere where your comm is human-sized. mine is full of lardbeasts because i live in burgerland. the difference in what they eat vs. what a healthy person eats is actually startling. these fatties are drowning in AP and Baby, and almost always spend more on food than i do whenever we go on an outing, so this is why "muh poverty" is a laughable excuse to me. besides, all those foods mentioned are cheap as fuck. hell, they're often far cheaper than junk food.

sugar addiction is a real thing, and it's why they constantly crave it. stop making excuses and cut out the processed sugar.

no, your logic just makes no sense. it's like saying "well I eat high calorie food and I'm skinny so eating high calorie food isn't an issue!" obviously fat people do it uncontrollably and much more frequently than you do. that's why they're fucking fat. none of them need to be snacking on chips throughout the day because they're already fucking fat. this is common sense. try watching secret eaters sometime.

People forget about this part. Many obese people have literal food addiction. Addiction is more than willpower. Your body physically gets upset when you stop taking your drug and with food addiction your substance of choice is partially a necessity and you can't can't quit cold turkey.

Actually fat people may need to snack more when getting used to eating less food overall because drastically cutting your calories rather than slowly can cause physical problems headaches and other issues. Snacks can help satisfy your appetite temporarily and prevent binges.

>none of them need to be snacking on chips throughout the day because they're already fucking fat

Having fat on your body doesn't mean it's healthy or helpful to skip meals or take in too much less food. That's like saying because you're fat you can go fine starving yourself which us obviously untrue. You didn't say chips specifically you just said snacks and I even provided examples of snacks that aren't unhealthy food. Chips aren't great for you skinny or fat. But snacks and frequency of eating or even time spent preparing food does not neccesarily mean anything about weight. I spend more time preparing my food than fat people and many thin friends of mine do because I cook at home and pack my own lunches, meal prep, etc

No one said a normal diet is starving. But studies show human bodies are resistant to changes in weight and will produce cravings, headaches, and intense hunger that is overall detrimental to your comfort and that makes it harder to stick to a diet can set it when you don't feed yourself enough even if less. Weight loss and gain should be done slowly and healthily to be sustainable.

It's better to slowly reduce calories by a certain number based on your weight and goals than an obese person or go from 3k to 1200 or whatever immediately and almost guarantee failure for a fat person who's never eaten anything but trash their whole lives and probably don't even know what a nutritionist is. They need to get used to adjusting for less volume of food in their stomachs or learn to cook higher volume with lower calories to stay satisfied and stuff. None of that stuff can happen overnight and pretending like it can so you can hate on fat people to feign moral superiority is silly. It makes it obvious you don't care about their health and just want to shit on them.

You can eat frequently and still eat low calories. I'm 110lbs and I snack on apples, carrots, etc. It's ana or wannabe ana logic to treat eating apple slices in between healthy meals so keep yourself from being too hungry and overeating as the same as a bag of doritos every hour or something kek. You keep intentionally missing the point and making a weird argument that weight loss is easy and they should immediately stop being fat in the exact way you want them to. Every person is different and their lifestyle or method of getting healthier will inevitably vary. Losing and maintaining and gaining weight are also very different depending on where you start. If you care about people's health and want them to actually lose weight it starts with understanding the problem both on a bigger scale and for that individual person.

Pretending self betterment has to be uncomfortable when you claimed not being fat is actually easy and just self discipline is a weird inconsistency.

Like I said I'm not fat. I've known enough fat people who did and didn't lose the weight to be able to tell what seems to work best for them and what ends up up them yoyoing or staying huge. And I've maintained my weight which is healthy for my height (I'm 110lbs but short so not super skinny or super big) eating healthy snacks multiple times a day and not ever having to feel hungry unless I just forget to eat from distractions.

The point of being less fat would be for your own health and happiness anyway like wearing cute clothes and living longer and enjoying life more in whatever ways they feel they don't currently. May as well do their best to make the process easy so people will actually stick with and maintain it. I'd prefer it if fat people were thin too cause it's better for everyone, so I'd much rather them do it the right way and stay thin and not feel stressed or whatever for no reason besides the fact than a rando anon says anything good in life has to hurt to obtain.

I want fat lolitas to have healthy inspiration and goals for weight loss and the community to be full of mentally and physically healthily people. I'd much rather go to a meet with a few bigger girls who know they are unhealthy and are working on themselves to do better and wear plus sized options in the meantime than a meet full of people who are thin but so insecure and mentally ill, angry or whatever else that they waste time being vitriolic to fat people the whole time or something.
