x-posting from the feels thread, because I need advice for this.

>post up a dress on LM
>didn't sell the first couple weeks
>someone messages me asking if I would sell it without charging shipping [15$ off]
>I'm like sure, what the hell.
>my terms of sales say that it may take up to a week to ship out my items
>girl mentioned that it's her first dress since she became interested in lolita nearly 3 years ago
>so I throw in some extra things to match the dress, and even include a blouse that might match as an extra gift
>have a work deadline that forces me to work for almost a week straight
>exhausted when I get project done
>it's been 7 days since the buyer paid
>go to post office to send out customer's product & the dress + other various errands
>get a text from one of the guys who helps run my business page on FB
>tells me some girl messaged the BUSINESS page [unrelated to lolita] and told him that she she bought something from Lacemarket & was going to open a Paypal dispute
>he doesn't know who the girl is or who she bought from and assumed she was talking about a product she bought from us
>he Googles "Lacemarket" and figures out that I was the one she bought from, as I'm the sole grill who has access to the business page and the dudes have no interest in wearing dresses
>I tell him that I'm sending out the dress with the other order
>get back and find my 2 employees/coworkers who run the page are now very curious/suspicious of my association with this "frilly costume" stuff
>say it's just a hobby in fashion and nothing more
>guys in question have now been asking more and more questions about it
>I am a very private person, and now I have been outed because this fucking idiot buyer
>I do not mix business with my personal life, and now I have my 2 coworkers curious and now interested in what I'm doing outside of work

I suppose it may not seem like a huge deal to some people, but I am fucking livid.
Should I confront the buyer? Negative/neutral feedback? idk.

No, I know. I just feel that I cut them a lot of slack by giving them a discount & I made an effort to add extra items, and they REALLY may have fucked my relationship with my coworkers [and possibly the business setting] by contacting my business page.
I'm just hoping this doesn't escalate.

Besides that, only 7 days and they threaten me with a dispute?? It's just ridiculous.
How should I go about bring this conversation up to the buyer, really?

Bags are slightly less accepted than shoes, I think.
Generic designs (3-way rucksack or plain star-shaped bag, for example) are generally accepted, I think. Specific bags, like AP's shooting star or bear bags, which have been replicated to hell and back by loris, are less acceptable.
Also, if you're going to buy replica, try to buy one without the brand name on it (many of the replicas of Milk heart bags, for example, print the brand name on the bag still).

If you spend some time looking at various brand bags, you'll realize that the brands are all rather different. I can practically instantly recognize if it's an AP or Baby purse, for example, even if it's just a heart bag. Go from there to search like "AP Star bag" or something.
If nothing else, reverse image search can sometimes help, or just doing generic searches like "Perfume bottle purse".

How did they know/find out about the business page?
While I think what the buyer did was totally unacceptable, maybe you should try to separate your personal and professional online accounts a bit more so that it's not so easy to find this sort of thing out?

I think you should contact them, point out your ToS, explain why it's unacceptable/why you're upset (so that they don't do something like this again, and say that you really would've appreciated if they had contacted you directly.
I would definitely leave neutral feedback (or negative feedback in the communication area) and write about what happened in the comment section, even if they apologize. I don't know why anyone would think that's in the least bit acceptable, and shitty buyers need to be told why what they're doing is unacceptable. If no one tells them, they'll just keep being shitty.

I'm not that person, but you can't separate your personal and professional if your personal life online involves buying/selling. Anyone you deal with through paypal has your legal name, and can google you or post whatever on a forum with your real name. I've been similarly fucked by a crazy person I did business with.

She sounds really young. Tell her that you understand being nervous when buying online, but her behavior was extremely hasty, as you state in your TOS that you take up to a week to ship. Let her know that messaging a non-lolita related page was completely unacceptable, and in the future it would be wise of her to message sellers through Lacemarket or other related emails.

Basically give her a reality check, throw in a reminder that people can lose their jobs/ect because of social media, and her actions have consequences.

You can to a certain extent. I use paypal as well, and my workplace's facebook page doesn't pop up if you google my name, despite us being a rather small and active company online.
I wasn't blaming the seller or whatever, but there are precautions you can take to put distance between your personal and professional life, especially if you're worried/sensitive about it.

A lot of employers don't ask if you want to be on the webpage. It's part of the job. And if someone you've sold to wants to post all over the internet about how Jane Q. Lolita wears frilly dresses and scammed me out of $300 on Lacemarket!! ...Well, you can't stop them.

I did that once (also a dream dress, also rare) and the same thing happened to me. By the end of my day I was convinced someone else had gotten the dress instead. Then two or three days later I got an email from them saying how much I had to pay and instructions for how. A week later I received the dress in the mail.

I can't really offer any solace, though. Some anons have said they received an email saying it sold out in the shop instead (like someone clicked it before they could take it down I guess).

Good luck, anon. I hope you get your dress.

Shipping one week after the according is still a shitty thing to do. A selling contract is a contract, and should be respected: why not a small message telling her you need one week more? just because she might be noob, it doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a better teatment. Her behavior was not that unexpected.

Exactly. Just say you'd rather not or ask them to use a nickname or something if you have to. My good friend is one of the main designers at a small architecture firm, and he requested that they use a nickname/pseudonym on the webpage, as he had a stalking issue a while back.

I only mentioned this because OP said she tried really hard to keep things separate and mentioned that maybe she should try to tighten her security a bit more.

She said in her TOS that she ships about a week after receiving payment, and the girl messaged her within the week. The seller didn't go over her stated shipping period by a week, anon.

I think it's odd that she chose to contact your business FB instead of sticking with LM or emailing you. The only times I've done that were when the person I was dealing with was not answering their messages. Maybe check whether you have some unanswered messages from her?

If you do have unanswered messages, then I think it's unfair to give her a negative feedback. From her point of view, she paid a seller and then they seemingly dissappeared and ignored her for 7 days. She doesn't know that you're busy packing gifts for her, how could she?

If you've at least messaged her you will be shipping specifically on x date and will not be answering messages for awhile, then yeah, negative or neutral would be fair.

Honestly I don't think a neutral is unwarranted if there aren't messages on LM/ect. If the seller says they take up to 7 days to ship, then most assume that the seller has a busy schedule and can only ship on certain days. If the buyer didn't try to reach out and ask for an update, and instead jumped straight to messaging a business account and threatening a PP dispute that's jumping the gun really badly. Now if they did try to reach out on LM (through listing comments or PMs) and Anon didn't respond, then they still shouldn't have messaged an unrelated account on FB, but it becomes more understandable. Perhaps LM glitched up and caused this by not notifying people of messages or just outright eating them.

Negative, she should have contacted you through pm on either LM or facebook not make some public post in a place where it doesn't belong.
She's the one being rude here.
I assume from your post that you already sent it? Did it have tracking? Cause I don't want this bitch to scam you and get her stuff + a refund.
You also stated it can take a week in your TOS.
Bitch shouldn't get her bloomers in a twist over taking a week, sheesh. Please name and shame her cause I don't want her to ever buy from me if she's the kind of person that files a pp claim that quickly.

Unless it's for a brand event,but generally speaking shoes and bags are fine unless they have the brand name on it. They don't patent a design, only prints are frowned upon (rightfully so tbh).

I'm struggling right now because I really badly want to get the same JSK (in any color really, I actually love them all) but I know I shouldn't be spending my money right now since I just made a huge TB order and I'm not getting my next check for awhile.

If I don't preorder it now, do you gulls think I can get it when it comes out? From what I've noticed, Meta doesn't have the same bloodbath as other brands so I'm feeling safe (especially since I'm not colorway picky) but I don't want to fuck myself over and regret this.

Yeah, there's no way I'm selling mine when I get it and it can be really difficult to find Meta pieces in your preferred cut and colour if you're set on them. But if anon doesn't mind paying an extra $100 to get it later then it shouldn't be too bad. This cut seems to be less popular too.

Thank you gulls- I think I just really needed to hear some advice!

I've been stewing on this ever since I saw the release pictures, but seeing as how some of the pieces I loved are gone already (like the emerald fascinator, which is probably my favorite colorway), I think I can wait. I love Meta and I love these kind of spooky prints but I wont be extremely heartbroken if I missed out.

Is there a chance they'll do a special set like they did for CL Night Carnival? (I'm not sure when information like that gets released so I'm sorry if this is a useless question!)

You'd probably want to add a few features to replace the bows and pearls at the top of the bodice. Just a little lace would be fine but otherwise I think it would be too plain.

Why don't you just email chibi and tell her to get it off yja for you instead? If you're using another SS for yja, you'll still end up having to ship items to you, and one single package with two dresses in them will cost a lot less than two seperate lightweight packages.

Inflow of Chinese lolitas who are buying everything up. Apparently the population of new Chinese lolitas exceeds the lolitas in the rest of the world, or at least, they exceed the number of lolitas who can and want to and will buy AP firsthand instead of waiting for cheap secondhand. So AP is suddenly trying to cope with increased demand on their production capabilities.

However, non print are a whole different story. We're heavily into a print fad at the moment, and it's not the brands forcing it on us, the buyers will literally buy out prints and then leave the non prints to rot. Even "mildly popular" releases such as Moondrop had leftovers going on sale. A release like Katrina or this Antique Doll selling out in under two minutes is an anomaly, it's not the norm. The rest of the AP store is filled with unsold non prints even right now.

So, AP makes less of the non prints, in anticipation that most girls won't buy them. Therefore, when a hit like Antique Doll happens, the stock is already so low in anticipation of nobody buying them, there's just not enough stock to sell to girls who suddenly want them.

AP is really reluctant to open MTOs for some reason. Personally I thought it would solve their problems if they could do MTOs more often, or at least an early reserve before the dresses were fully in production would allow them to gauge demand and adjust their production accordingly. I don't know whether it's just too hard for them to try that, or if they just don't care enough to look further into MTO systems.

Hell yes, I don't understand why AP doesn't have reservations when baby/attp, IW does? Wouldn't that be better than constantly re-releasing prints/opening up MTOs?

I would spend so much more money on AP if it meant that I could at least reserve a dress rather than hoping that my SS/net will get through.

Baby does things pretty damn well comparitively IMO. If something is popular and sells out quickly, they've been known to open a second run before you even realize it sold out. You'll get your dress a month later than the first run, but you aren't paying scalper prices. They capitalize pretty damn well on the hype. What happens with AP is that they wait until they see tons of demand, but by the time they announce a MTO or rerelease, some people have already spent the money they were going to spend on AP on secondhand or something.

IW doesn't do so hot with that though, As far as I know they don't open up second runs, and rereleases are infrequent (I can only think of Lotta and Astronomical Clock, and the Grazia special set). I think IW's biggest thing is that they have a lot of flops, and a lot of things going into LPs, so when they have a hit they're not as quick to jump on it. Plus you get people just waiting for IW LPs rather than buying full price.

You know, you were asking for advice about how to go about responding to their inquiries in another thread. I have an idea for you, I was actually thinking for quite some time about how I'd approach it if my coworkers did the same.

Basically, the way I see it is that provocative clothing in our culture is mainly for attracting guys, that's why they're confused, they're looking at it from that perspective, the best thing to do is to convince them that it isn't about other people, it's about what you'd wear all the time if you could, what you'd look like reading a book, or sipping tea with friends.
Lolita is and has been a style I associate more with what one wears for themselves, not for the opposite sex.
I'd say pretty much, "You guys are very masculine, I don't expect you to understand what I'm doing or why, since it's all extremely girly, but I do expect that you respect my privacy regardless of what you have come to know about me. About the dresses, it's a hobby, I like looking cute, not for anyone else or for anything but the sake of it and hunting down hard to find stuff. Have you ever worn a really nice, tailor made suit? It fits you perfect and makes you feel like you can take on the world. That's pretty much what these dresses do for me."
Equating lolita to collecting fine suits feels really right for some reason, I don't think guys have any other equivalent.

It's an AP Shanghai VIP exclusive preorder. Have to spend over 13000 rmb in their taobao store to be able to reserve it. Absolute bullshit since I've spent 10 times that at least in the AP webstore and hardly anyone uses the taobao store. The taobao store stocks 1 week later, very little stock, and everything ships waaay slow (even MTOs shipped like 2 weeks after Japan's).

I think almost all male clothing is the equivalent. Most men I know don't dress for the opposite sex, or to impress unless they're at work. They dress for themselves and either in what is comfortable or in what they see as aesthetically pleasing. This is less the case with gay men than it is with straight guys, but it's present for any guy.

Do any of you lolita gulls have a plushie or teddy that is important to you?. See,i have Chocolat (fluffy bear plushie) and i consider it my best and only friend. I am a lone lolita and got no friends. Chocolat never hurt me so i feel safe this way, Chocolat think lolita is cute and that i look cute too, and always listen when i talk about lolita or other stuff and i also listen to Chocolat off course. We go out together also but not always. Sometimes Chocolat doesnt feel like it or it is bad for him like rain,just grocery shopping (i can get the stuff it wants anyway Chocolat just has to tell me if he wants anything. I brought him once or twice and wore something very toned down so no one would stare too much. Else i leave it home and prepare some snacks or stuff for it depending on how long it will stay alone. I dress Chocolat too sometimes, when i am not in full lolita (everyday nearly) i wear bloomers and a comfy blouse or cutsew, i made a lacy pajama for Chocolat too we have a "matching" comfy outfit this way! Chocolat is kinda big so i think i will never loose it easily. But Chocolat do not like wearing super fancy clothing too much so i usually only put a cute bowtie on it.

I've been thinking of starting up an online shop to sell some handmade. I've found a lot of really cute fabric I'd like to use, but here's my question -
My plan was to create a listing for each premade cut, but allow the buyer to pick from all the fabric, lace, and trims I have available to customize their item. I think Sweet Rococo did something similar to this, but with more depth like choosing the bodice, skirt shape, etc. (Which I don't think I'll be able to do, unfortunately)
Would this be something people would be interested in, or is the release hype much more enjoyable? Since lolita is such a collector's hobby, there definitely does seem to be a preference for owning an item that came out a certain year, with its own item name, and only a few cuts provided.

There's a girl who posted on my comm page about her first coord.
"Technically" there's nothing really ita about it, but the dress along with all of the accessories (plus a white cosplay wig)+a wand as a prop+a crown is just too fucking much and it looks like a fancy fairy godmother costume not a lolita coord.

The dress is very pretty, but it really barely if at all looks like a lolita dress and really doesn't seem like a good first choice especially with all the OTT accessories and a white wig

It's actually a Classical Puppets wedding dress. I personally think it's really cute and looks more classic and regal than the cheap candy color prints that are shit out everywhere these days, but for a newbie it's probably a bad choice. For one, it's off white and newbies have lots of issues mixing whites and off whites. The neckline is a little strange and may be hard for an inexperienced person to work wish.
Also in the stock photos it's worn with an additional underskirt so it may be weird and short without one.

I think this is a good idea! It might be difficult to start with cuts, though, why not start with print/fabric? And then have the options for different cuts for each one. Some fabrics, like busier prints, would look better with a ruffle panel or something, whereas with border prints, it's preferable to have a simpler cut to avoid jacking up the images. Definitely do custom sizing and longer/shorter skirt options. Honestly, if someone really wants a strawberry print sailor dress, there's no reason they can't contact you and ask.
I have a "to wear" wardrobe and a "to worship" wardrobe. I think a lot of girls, especially daily lolitas, do too. There's no shame in not selling collector's pieces, really! A lot of girls lovetheir AP but are also just looking for something that fits well.

Milk's bags are pretty distinct. Not all heart-shaped bags are made equal and I think you would be able to spot one that is from Milk (or at least a good replica of it anyway). I don't think it's frowned upon to own one but yes, it does have a certain uniqueness to it which is why they keep rereleasing it year after year.

It's only possible if you have a Japanese credit card. Also for Mbok many girls ask for a self introduction and if you used google translate for that I'm sure they'd laugh and not accept your bid. So for Mbok you'd have to write Japanese at least at a conversational level.

Maybe instead of worrying about how the online lolita community will react to her she should worry about getting her shit together.

>I live in a camper
Oh hunny...

Why is a person like this even interested in lolita? She doesn't seem the type. If I were her and wanted to feel more feminine, I would tackle some of the most basic things like trying -not- to live in a camper with three animals, finding a place that has space, and practicing some basic hygienic tendencies. Forget the wardrobe.

I'm much more forgiving of current JetJ than most people here, but I find that dress unfortunate in a number of ways. The cut is great, though. That green version with either a ruffle or a tone-on-tone/monochrome design on the skirt like J et J used to do would be really lovely.

>>8402991

I have a couple of blouses with laser-cut ruffle collars like that. One of the biggest issue is that when you wear it with a jsk that has fancy tulle or cotton lace on it, the laser-cut ruffles suddenly feel rather cheap and empty. These blouses look fancy and girly because we're so used to normal dresses being completely plain, but when you put them next to a lolita dress, they suddenly feel rather cheap and flimsy, and a lot less detailed than a lolita dress.

I usually wear mine with less fancy jsks that don't have any lace on them ( a few taobao dresses, some JetJ), and I style it casually, almost normalfag instead of lolita.

Other anons have mentioned this, but it's not a good blouse for wearing over skirts. Aside from the sheerness problem (which can be solved with wearing a camisole underneath), the blouse doesn't seem to be shaped much, which means you may end up with a baggy mess atop your skirt, instead of a nice silhoutte.

After nearly 9 years in this fashion I've just made my first order direct from a brand. Crazy, seeing as as I STILL have a long list of dream dresses from 2008-11 that I haven't managed to bag yet.

I have to ask though, Isn't 64.7cm a bit long for a 'miniskirt'? I'm hoping I can roll the waistband up a bit and pick a loose blouse to hide the join

Also I settled on a Delft Lotta miniskirt (wanted the regular skirt/jsk or better, the Lotta people actually want) and was wondering if there was any easy way of taking in the waist as I think it is meant to sit on the hips
