This print was popular the first time around so I thought I'd post this too, Sakuya Lolita is doing another round of their stars print. This run seems to be really short, though.

They're releasing it as their summer special set. There's mention of a summer lucky pack on their tumblr as well, no pics or anything of that though.

I had the original Fancy Egg in blue, but I gotta say the print seems to look much better on the dark red, I'm very tempted to pick this up.

Gotta say, I love this new habit of re-releasing old hits as special sets.I wonder if they'll get around to making special set releases of older past hits like Blooming Garden?

I'm not certain if anyone would know this- but I'm going to be in Japan in August and I was wondering, do you think any of APs stores will still have the Holy Lacy set for sale in store? I'm hoping so, since it doesn't seem terribly popular, but I don't know how long they keep stuff in store before cycling it out for newer sets.

I don't have the money to order it right now, but I will by the time I go over there.

They still had tons of Whipped Jacquard which was released in October when I was in Japan in December. Two months sounds pretty reasonable if it's unpopular enough to sit around. If they have a big sale in the meantime, they might vanish. I don't know what their schedules for those are.

LSE post where the buyer was trying to get in touch with a LM seller; seller had apparently not mentioned that she was going to fuck off to China for three months before shipping the dress.

Unless you have a means of paying for it quickly, don't go with the credit card. I ended up getting myself in a lot of CC debt (dental work, helping my dad with vet bills, etc) and while I managed to pay it all off with a lot of hard work, it's not something I willingly do again. I do put dresses on my card, but never more than what I can pay for in a month or so.

I wonder if Meta will ever get back to doing blind leftovers LPs.

As for the worth of the skirt LP, usually the skirt is the non-border print and fully shirred. So it's good for daily lolitas since it's easy to wear, or plus-sized lolitas since the waistband goes up pretty big. The blouses are usually sized bigger than other brands, the material is decent and soft, though it doesn't have a lot of lace on it (which is a matter of your taste, I suppose). Meta's socks are generally good as well, you just have no control over what print it is.

If these things sounds like what your wardrobe needs, then yeah, it's a pretty good deal. Otherwise, Meta LP stuff can be hard to move on the secondhand market.

Their accessories are somewhat hit-or-miss. Historically I've gotten mostly duds that I don't use, but mine includes LPs from this one year where they made cameo necklaces and hairbows specifically for their LPs, so they were worse quality than usual.

I've been getting them for the last few years and as previous Anon said they usually have good dailywear items. Blouses tend to be nice with a bust of about 100cm and the skirts are very stretchy and comfy but may be a bit short for some as they're only 45cm long but tend to have nice enough lace on them. It may be just me but I find it pretty easy to sell the skirts in my local comm.
Another good thing is that you can choose a light or dark pack so they're good if you need some not very specific wardrobe fillers. So generally I'd say they're worth it but they come out about twice a year so you can always wait for the next round.

Why do girls who "identify" as boys refer to themselves as brolitas when they are really just biological girls dressed as girls? That really doesnt make sense to me especially since lolita is predominantly a female fashion, does it really matter what gender you are in your own head? You're a girl dressed as a boy who is dressed as a girl.

There are a few diseases/disorders that can result in an XY person never developing a penis/testicles and instead having a vagina. Most of these mean the person in question has no ovaries, and can never produce children, but they look entirely female. They have breasts, a clitoris, a vaginal opening, the works. No beard or male patterns of hair either.

But they're actually men, and quite a few times they go their whole life thinking they're biologically completely female. Usually the clues begin when there is no menstruation.

These men have boobs, a vagina, and they get constantly called women by even their own families.

So there's just one example of "reals over feels".

You are talking about eugenics if you're talking about the "improvement" of humanity. Natural selection means that those with genes/behaviors that allow them to survive best in a particular place and time will reproduce. It has nothing to do with overall improvement of a species.

Eugenics involves purposefully wiping out those unfit, which is not what I am talking about. Educate yourself.

I'm pretty sure by the definition you just gave, people killing themselves and those unable to reproduce are eliminated from the gene pool naturally(not by an outside factor).

Has anyone here had experience with removing shirring from a skirt? I know how to do it, but I have a couple of really old meta skirts that have that tiny, stiff panel of shirring and I'm wondering if it'll make a significant enough different to do so. They sorta fit now, but sit really tight even though if I pull, I can get the shirring to stretch more for a better fit.

When in Rome, do as the Roman's do. I highly suggest you follow the standard lolita path, which is: lurk more, save up, buy a simple brand outfit. ask for help, learn, make mistakes, get better.

the community is very receptive to newbies who ask for and follow advice, but sometimes people come off mean because we run into too many special snowflakes who think the rules don't apply to them.

I don't recommend making your own clothes if you have never owned a brand piece before. You won't have the right references or aesthetic and that means a high chance of failure. This can ruin your experience with the fashion. Lolita is a very high investment hobby, both in time and finances. If you treat it with the respect it deserves, then people won't have a problem with you.

A helpful introductory resource: http://lolitahandbook.tumblr.com/
It's not the be all, end all of lolita, but it's a good place to start. Good luck!

Started comfort eating again because I needed to be focused enough and not stressed so I could study for a month or two.

It's not very hard to break into the community as long as you know how to behave yourself around other people. Honestly, that's all it takes. Most drama begins and ends with people harboring negative feelings/bearing grudges/throwing tantrums without talking things out like adults.
More importantly though, remember that it's a fashion style first and foremost. You can enjoy it on your own, and you don't have to join a community or meet up with other lolitas in order to wear it. Sounds like a no-brainer but it's something that people somehow tend to forget.

This is good advice.

Only other thing I'd add is this:
Don't seek validation, take criticism with a grain of salt, if you ask for advice and don't take it, any fallout is 100% on you.
This community is really really small, all things considered, remember that before you make enemies.

No, this is simply wrong. Bad eating habits only affect your health if you continue them for a long time, even when you wanted to change. But it literally doesn't matter if you start 4 months sooner or later.

Also, physical activity only releives stress in those who already are active. People with an unhealthy lifestyle do not have this habit yet and need a lot of work and mental resources to implement it. Stress just hinders building a new habit, because it consumes time and resources.

And you make it sound like every remotely fat/ chubby person constantly eats 6000 calories a day, while having an office job and one unneeded meal or snack a day is enough to gain weight.

Wrong. If you gain the 'freshmen five' it's much harder to lose those pounds again.
Your body's idea of optimal weight is a sliding scale, that generally only goes one direction, up, and your body will do whatever it can to stay at the optimal weight.
We've adapted from ancestors with limited access to food, when food is available in the summer our bodies store it for a long lean winter.
With no lean months and a tendancy to overeat, your body just gets bigger and bigger and bigger over the years. It takes years to make your body accept a lower weight.
Tldr:
While it may only take a month for your body to adjust from 110 to 120, it may take years to adjust from 120 to 110.

So on the AP Holy Theater unboxing video from Deer Stalker, they mentioned this in the comments:
Guys we need your help! I know we keep talking about Patreon all the time, but without your support we won't be able to continue making these videos. We're currently at less than half of our operational costs, meaning we'd need to reach double what we're currently earning in order to break even, and only after that would we be able to start investing in bigger and better productions. If you want to see more lolita content in the future, please considering signing up to our Patreon~

Their patron is currently at $270aud a month ... so their operational costs per video is roughly $430 give or take?
I'm no film maker but why on earth would it cost so much? They own all of their own equipment so far as I know, are they just factoring in fuel costs to get to location, hours spent filming and editing, ect?

Costs are not just equipment. They will be taking into account time (since filming, editing, and other post productions are a time sink) as realistically you can only give so much time to projects that are hobby based when you have work that brings in money to do. Assuming the couple are the only ones that do this work, it is a lot of work to do for quality videos.

Its like any art based thing on patreon, the more they get a month, the more they can put into the art creating content that they want to and fans want to, vs what you need to do to make a living. It doesnt sound like their goal is to make a living solely on patreon like some people try to do, but they are putting long term goals for what they can create if they get x amount a month.

She's been quieter because her husband told her to knock it off, but he left for work and she's back at it like clockwork.

Have you heard her post about him? He's apparently 15 years older than she is, was the first person to fuck her, and when he's not working they stay in their house together for up to a week at a time without leaving. It sounds really creepy. Something is for sure wrong with her and I'm positive he isn't helping.

The story is she had a fight with a friend and the friend posted shit about her here and is apparently continuing to taunt her.

I know she's annoying and really rude but I honestly think she needs help. She says when he's gone for his job she doesn't have a lot to do and she can't leave the house. Isn't that strange?

She lives in Japan right? I thought it was common for creepers over there to do this? Not only that but she's halfsies. So other people there don't like her that much. Sounds like she's got daddy issues and like banging older guys and was probably repressed at a young age and considering she's half she had a strict upbringing.

This is common for a lot of chicks. I've dated older guys before. Nothing amazing or awful happened aside from some boring stuff and okay sex.
But some dudes like to have younger women they can make submissive and stupid chicks eat it up.

And I've heard there's lots of murder cases in Japan where it's this kind of relationship but the girl has Stockholm syndrome and she loves her creepy capture.

This doesn't stop the fact she's an annoying bitch that has serious issues and is playing a very unsafe game on this site.

Maybe her husband calls her fat when she is not, perhaps he constantly downs on her appearance, calling her fat if she so much gains a couple pounds. He might even call her ugly. Perhaps her mom did. If she's stuck in isolation not allowed to leave the house from childhood and the only interaction she has is with her husband who may or may not be nice to her, that could lead to a shitty personality. Perhaps her mom was the same.

In other words, she might only have the internet as a way to speak, and she's calling people fat and ugly because she put up with it to the point it seems normal in her mind and doesn't even realize at this point that it's rude and hurtful.

I don't like older men who take younger wives, treat them like dolls, and don't expect them to have lives outside of a man's jurisdiction.

She doesn't need to be calling people fat. However, if what you all are describing is really going on, she might be so fucked in the head from real life that she doesn't realize it is wrong no matter how many people tell her otherwise.

Do you know how expensive it is to be a daily Lolita? Just the wardrobe building is intense, keeping your staples up to date to replace them when worn down is an extra expense.

I don't like wearing all of my shoes because once the soles wear down I'm boned and have to buy a new pair. If I sweat too much in my socks, they'll stain from it and not only lose resale value, they'd be an extra cost for me to buy a new pair. Same with blouses, I'd have to wash them more and that slowly wears down the material.

Not to mention trying to afford so many dresses. It's not the same as wearing a pair of jeans where one can get you through three days straight--people will notice you're wearing your dress a lot, so you'd have to buy more dresses because you'll stand out.

So unless you already own that much there's no problem with just wearing them on fun outings with friends personally. I own enough that I can wear it most weekends of the year but I prefer not to.

Not too hard. You have blouses and bloomers as your base, this protects your dress from sweat, stains, and wear. Buy cheao taobao in bulk(blouses ca 30 usd, bloomers ca 16), or settle for normalfagtier blouses off of secondhand.

Dresses and skirts are cheaper from Taobao and bodyline. Cutsews from bodyline are dirt cheap. Plain Kneesocks are cheap from hm and even cheaper on the web. You don't need a petticoat everyday, just a good underskirt to protect your skirts and dresses, unless you wear a lot of pantyhose, they fill about the same function.

Most people wear lolita when they want to. Unless you have a job that you can wear whatever, you are going to spend your money on clothing you can actually wear to work. Even if you can wear lolita to work, most people will want other options because lolita is not the most comfy or practical thing to wear. That just means that most people will wear lolita on the weekends/ after work. Which is often enough if you have friends.

The thing with goth, is that because it isnt strictly one look, you can wear all black and make a goth outfit that is from mainstream stores and is work appropriate. The lack of a single style gives flexibility. On the other hand, goths do the same thing, they wear weird clothing with their friends, and outings. Lolita just has a definition of hanging out with people that we call meet ups, goths dont have that. I dont see why you think that most people only wear it to meet ups though, because looking at what gets posted on COF, a lot of those is just hanging out with friends.

Lolita isn't that much more expensive than normalfag clothing unless you have only ever thrifted normalfag stuff/bought from Primark or whatever the US equivalent is. You only need 30 main pieces to not repeat a dress or skirt in a month, and blouses, socks etc are pretty cheap and not all of them have to be brand, a lot of the frilly ruffled OL stuff works with lolita. If you have print socks that you worry about sweating in then don't be so gross, use some foot anti perspirant/deodorant, get the ballet flat socks to use as liners, etc. Hand washing is a thing, or the delicate cycle + wash bag with gentle detergents not enzyme ones. Reheeling shoes is not that expensive and if you buy decent leather loliable shoes rather than shitty PU ones you'll get years out of them, resoling lasts ages if you have a good cobbler.

Scarfing Scarves also started a Patreon. I honestly always loose a bit of respect when youtubers beg for money like this. It's their hobby and not a job. If you don't have the funds for it, stop or start saving until you have enough money to continue, like people with other hobbies do.

For me, it's because even having 20 different JSKs would be too few. With normie clothes, it's fine to throw on a pair of jeans for three days in a row, but lolita is so much more eye-catching that it's obvious when you're reusing a dress. And then, that means you need blouses, boleros, tights, shoes etc to match. If I wear jeans three days in a row, it means wearing a different shirt/blouse each day. In lolita? I have a few blouses that match one or two JSKs and that's it. Each blouse has a designated one or two JSKs.

if i were rich, then it would be easier. But I'm not. I can't afford 20 JSKs, 80 blouses, ~20 pairs of tights etc.

All I did was buy some LPs. The $800 IW Pack C doesn't exactly contain 20 jsks, it's more like 10 dresses and maybe 3-5 skirts (and 5-8 blouses, but 2/3 of those had to be sold because it wasn't my size). Add a New Year's blind LP from Baby/AatP and a couple of skirt LPs from Meta, I hit 20 main pieces fairly fast. It's not easy or cheap exactly, and you have to have the right timing, but if you save up for a year and then drop it all at once on the IW LP at least, you're halfway there.

You gotta be willing to supplement it with taobao and secondhand, and work with some really funky-looking things, though. Some really weird and downright fugly things end up in LPs.

I find repeating outfits to be not much of an issue, actually. After the initial shock, most people seem to file me away as the girl who is always in a dress. Most people have trouble remembering what they ate for breakfast anyway, they aren't going to remember print by print exactly what I wore last week or this week. I guess it also helps that I tone it down a lot and don't pull stunts like wear OTT princess lolita to go get groceries.

>she doesn't realize it is wrong no matter how many people tell her otherwise
Most people here caught on to this already, or at least I have.
I've attempted to be sympathetic towards her but she just did the usual name calling. Also it's not possible to help her because now she's shitposted so much that she's too paranoid to even use a throwaway, and she should be.
It only takes one angry robot to take your life and then you're a news story. Doesn't matter that she's married, if anything that'd make them angrier I assume.

I'm done being nice to her though and I want everyone to ignore her because the less attention she gets, the less she posts. "Lurk more" doesn't mean anything anymore because she ran it into the ground and I see a lot of her simplistic posts get no replies lately so that's good.
She needs to learn to get attention elsewhere. And if she can't be convinced of things, then the only way to stop her is to not give her attention.

Like if she replies to this, don't respond. That's exactly what she wants. Replies.

For the longest time it was really late at night for the USA(I'm talking 12AM-6AM central) but she is posting more at earlier times now. It isn't as much as she used to though(probably because of her husband trying to get her to stop)

>>9058264
I thought she said that the "stalker" was someone who knew her. It could have been someone pretending to be her but I'm fairly certain I read her say that. She proudly proclaimed that they couldn't do shit to her besides complain about her to her husband. Maybe that worked though, she didn't post much for what seemed to be all of May. She says that when her husband is home she doesn't care to post here as much, and she also stated several times that pretty much every other month of this year he's traveling.

Yeah, I always noticed her posting when I get off work or during the middle of the day, pst time.

First time I ran into her she was posting in a fairy kei thread, with her usual MO.

I hope her husband gets through to her. He seems to realize what she's doing is semi dangerous.
I know a good number of people like to knock her relationship cause it's out of the norm to them but it seems pretty normal to me. At least in that I know a lot of girls who date or are married to someone way older.

Her not leaving her house though. Could be choice or yeah, maybe he's brainwashed her a bit. He should take her computer away for a month while he's gone.

That or this all an elaborate lie. Other boars have had giant trolls like this too. Most trolls are also liars, and creative ones at that. I've seen people create some damn good stories on /adv/ and they'd come back and post updates and their stories added up. Doesn't mean any of it is true. She could secretly be an angry guy for all we know.

Stalker anon never said anything about contacting her husband either.

a high-security type government(?) job. she lives somewhere it is not terribly safe for a woman to be and due to her husband's work, she will be there a while and is (temporarily) sacrificing a social life so he can do whatever it is he does. i think she implied he was working for the government. this was during a conversation we had maybe in lolita gen a while back, so memory is fuzzy.

anyway, the situation doesn't need to be creepy to be justifiably secretive, and her husband doesn't need to be some Lifetime movie victim fantasy stereotype for her to be inspired to obsessively shitpost. i still believe her problem is mostly immaturity and i expect in a few years she will look back on her behavior and cringe.

in the grand scheme of life, shitposting on a slow, relatively low-population niche hobby board is not a big deal. if anons stop taking bait and jannies stop nuking good threads, we would not even need to be discussing this.

I am not one of the anons who want to start a witch hunt with her or anything, I honestly just find her bizarre and interesting. To me watching her is the same as watching a really dramatic reality TV show like those real housewife shows(ironic).

I thought she said his job wasn't for the government? That was an anons theory. Or maybe she said it wasn't the military. Either way it seems like she's married to a Japanese national and she herself has spent a good time of her life there. The Japanese are weird with their privacy but even then it seems extreme for her not to be able to have social media at all.

Actually he might be some kind of diplomat or smth. He travels and she's only allowed to befriend his work circle. Could also explain why she's not allowed to have social media, he might understand his young waifu is a cringey af autist and doesn't want to be embarrassed of her. That's also probably why he told her to quit it eventually since he got contacted and it'd be humiliating af for people to know that his wife spends her time shitposting on 4chan instead of actually being productive with her life.

And yeah I feel bad for the derailment but it's fun to gossip, especially since that's how this all started anyways. I don't see her point in trying to correct our actions for talking behind our friends' backs. If she says gulls will be her friends, we're just going to talk shit about her too lol.

To be honest though it seems she's quieted down so I hope we hear less from her. Girl needs to have some kinda tumblr or smth to keep her busy, this is really sad and depressing knowing the backstory to her shitposting.

She has clearly stated multiple times that because of her husband(it sounds like mainly for his job) she can't have social media. It seems like whatever he does she can't really make things about her(or her relation to him/his private life in general) public. My theory is is that somehow he's a public figure and he doesn't want people seeing his absolutely batshit insane wife's tantrums.

But that's an interesting theory.

>>9058787
I honestly think you're spot on with your theory. He probably doesn't want people knowing about her. She seems like the type that you would show off(supposedly she is stunningly pretty aside from being a skeleton) and hope they don't open their mouth.

Is this in the archvies at all and how many times has she mentioned that cause honestly that seems like a scapegoat for "I can't go to other sites" but rather it's just an excuse for whenever someone asks her to do stuff on other sites and she indignantly wants to post here.

Maybe she's already in witness protection or something which is why she feels safe doing something like this and doesn't care that her husband was actually contacted? That would make sense for not wanting to go outside. I doubt Henry Hill's wife was all about socializing after witness protection... People were literally after her and her husband.

If you gave up that easily without snooping around the site to see if it moved, you don't deserve to order from a website as easy to order from as meta.

Saltiness aside, I don't know why but they put it on the same page as the Fancy Egg set, probably because they're both their happy packs/lucky packs for the summer.

I stayed up for the Fancy Egg special set as well and while they did remove the page I had been looking at for easy refreshing for some weird reason, if you just went to meta's main page instead everything was there from a new link.

I'm starting to feel very out of touch with the lolita community. I haven't kept up with releases, I don't know which blogs to follow anymore (most of my old favourites are dead), don't frequent /cgl/ so often miss out on drama, etc. When I do post here I am generally told to lurk more, even though I have been in to lolita for 4-5 years.
I used to be "known" in lolita circles (to some extent) but now I just feel like an awkward bystander. My old favourites on livejournal are basically dead, and the Facebook groups don't appeal to me much either because it's just rehashing the same content.
Even the aesthetic of the fashion has changed.

I feel like the general mood and methods of keeping up with lolita are vastly different. Does/did any one else feel like this? How can I get back in to the fashion community?
It used to feel so special and magical to me, now it's just same old crap.

I've felt pretty much the same as you on and off for about two years. It sounds weird, but joining instagram helped. I've befriended a lot of Lolitas on there, and while you won't get release news unless you follow shop instas, I get a reasonably nice stream of Lolita content (sometimes with links to blogs posts or w/e). No walls of text or hugely irrelevant stuff like tumblr or FB (depending on who you follow), I love it.

FB groups are lacking for me, there's no way to revive LJ, so give it a go. I started posting coords, even other random crap, followed some people and started commenting back and forth. It just sort of happened.

Other people are having this problem, if you are apart of lolita updates you can see people commenting on the post that it is taking longer than expected. I ordered through Clobba, but when I e-mailed them about it they said they are releasing it in waves according to sizes, with larger sizes being last. I don't know if it will be the same for MLD.

>Lolita isn't that much more expensive than normalfag clothing unless you have only ever thrifted normalfag stuff/bought from Primark

Literally me. But Lolita is still cheaper and better bang for your buck than normie designer clothes. Almost all my tights and blouses are offbrand/thrifted but I still get lots of compliments. Bodyline shoes are still holding up despite problem feet, wearing them for >10 hours at a time and playing DDR in them.

I have no special occasion/formalwear besides Lolita because I don't see the point of spending so much money on a plain, sack-shaped office dress or something. Every time I glance at a women's magazine and see their clothing recommendations I can't imagine anyone in their right mind paying >$600 for some shitty boring cocktail dress or a lipstick.

Not the anon you were replying to, but this. I still have no idea why some basic trench coat goes for hours ands, when I can get a cute brand coat for a fraction of that price; knowing that these aren't continuously mass manufactured and unique at the same time.

I need normie formalwear as my job requires it, but I never spend much on it because I honestly don't see where my money would go if I spent hundreds on a plain dress.

I have worked in a film studio as a storyboard artist, camerawoman, video editor, audio editor, BTS photographer, image editor, copywriter/editor and managed their social media/website *simultaneously* 8-18 hours a day. I didn't even get minimum wage. Shit doesn't cost that much unless you pay yourself for your time, hire specialist equipment, need to pay for venue hire, props or for travel/generators when shooting on location. Not hiring overpriced catering also helps.

I definitely agree that most "designer" stuff, particularly high street brands, looks really samey and generic. I buy designer stuff selectively - I want people to comment on what I'm wearing and I want to look relatively put together whether that's lolita or not. I tend to go for smaller local designers with their own boutiques and a girly aesthetic (also sample and outlet sales), but now I'm back down under no one in the rest of the world will have heard of most of the places I frequent.

I think I have very similar feet to you (8-8.5, quite narrow) and I had a bad experience with meta shoes. It wasn't that design but a wooden flatform two years back. They were extremely short on my feet, my toes were crammed against the end when I walked, and extremely wide, like little hooves. I had my 7.5-8 wideish friend try them on and she found them short and wide as well. I don't know if it was the particular pair I got or the fact they were a flatter design what... you might be fine with that design. Sorry to add to your worries.

I usually wear a size 2 and I got the 1. It's one of the few pieces with back shirring and corset lacing, so it can go down to about their size 0 and a little over their size 2, so really flexible. (I have a 90cm bust and didn't stretch the shirring to the max).

If you mean soft bonnets like this, there's nothing inside that will develop a permanent crease, so you can fold them however and store them. If they do develop a crease after long storage, a good steaming should get it out.

If you mean the semi-hard bonnets that have stiff interfacing in them, then storing flat or on a wig stand is better.

Alternatively, you can also roll most of them up, start at one end, roll to the other. Tie the roll with a ribbon (or a kawaiii scrunchy, if you prefer) and store it rolled up.

The seller hasn't budged from their price of $270, but the dress hasn't ever sold for above $200 2ndhand. Would it be rude to make an offer of $200?

I'm a pear shaped fatty that's only really chubby in the hip area but also my upper arms for whatever reason. They seem to be the last place that my weight loss is affecting. I sometimes contemplate taking the elastic out of the sleeves on some of my OPs because at the end of the day it's almost cutting off my circulation. But I'm not sure if the puffy shape on the shoulder will be maintained in them. Could I replace it with a ribbon that I can thread through and fit to myself?

I'm no expert, but I think if you snip and pull the elastic out carefully you can preserve any gathers and keep it puffy. depending on the sleeve, you might be able to simply attach a ribbon to a bobby pin or safety pin and push it through the channel left by the missing elastic.

good luck anon! You can also start using some small to increasingly larger weights to work out what is stored in your upper arms and get some lean muscle going there.

Depends on the way the elastic is in the sleeves. If it uses actual channels then yeah you can thread something through to maintain the puff. But if it's elastic sewn directly to the fabric you'd have to do some serious reconstruction, either by making a casing or putting in new elastic. Either way the sleeves wont be quite as full as intended.

If you don't care about resale value, and don't think your arms will shrink enough to fit comfortably go for it! Just remember that if you loose the arm chub you'll have the opposite problem.

Good luck with the weight loss fellow pear, I can promise there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

I mentioned it because I see a lot of people trying to sell dresses with giant stains for more than retail. Damage in a collector's hobby means any alterations as well. For example taking a toy out of it's box reduces it's value by a lot.

>And she would have the right to sell it for what she bought it for to see if anyone else with the same problems would want it.

And I have the right to not buy it as with everyone else. I'm not saying she can't, I'm warning her because a lot of people don't realize even minor alterations reduce value and get upset about it not selling at the same price as the others.

Do you realize that this is a luxury hobby? Yes, you will have to buy replacements, learn new skills to keep your clothes nice, and keep changing things up.
>Same with blouses, I'd have to wash them more and that slowly wears down the material.
Clothing can last a long long time if you keep them well.
>Not to mention trying to afford so many dresses.
Long term goals anon. You can't run a mile in a second. Yet.
>It's not the same as wearing a pair of jeans where one can get you through three days straight--people will notice you're wearing your dress a lot, so you'd have to buy more dresses because you'll stand out.
This is assuming people care/notice this overtime. If you utilize different variations this really won't be something you encounter as an issue.
>So unless you already own that much there's no problem with just wearing them on fun outings with friends personally.
Again, utilize versatile pieces, then you can take what you currently have and come up with dozens of variations with the same main dresses.
I own enough that I can wear it most weekends of the year but I prefer not to.
So you never wear your lolita? Why are you in the fashion?

I use baking soda in place of deodorant. No stains, no smells, I sweat a lot less. It's beautiful.

Different anon but it's not about not people wanting to be a daily lolita, >>9058474 was making excuses and claimed being a daily lolita was soooo hard. I also wonder why people like this even bother getting involved in alternative fashion if they think it's so tasking.

Yeah and when in reality it's not. If you want to do it, it requires some work but it's not that hard. I was able to start dresaing in lolita daily after a year and half and now after three to four years in lolita I have a decent sized wardrobe (over 30 mainpieces, mostly brand). The thing is I'm young and I have a low income but I have been cutting in everything else. I don't buy other expensive things eg. electronics, make up or clothes. It was slow and took a lot of patience, bargain hunting and luck but it didn't require that much money. I don't also find lolita especially uncomfortable in general nor I have had to replace anything. I just can't get why is it so hard to some people.

Diff anon but also a daily lolita, but, to add to this, it's not a bad thing to not wear it daily. Nobody has to and it's not something that everyone will want to do. But if you do want to do it, it's not really super difficult or expensive, so it sounds like the person is just complaining while not really putting in any effort whatsoever.

Not everyone has daily wear as an option. Some people have uniforms or a dress code for work or school. Can you imagine someone wearing Full or even lolita in a Dr's office or lab or government building, especially if their preferred style was sweet? Referring to it as a dress up game for those who can only wear it less often makes it seem like you have little understanding of the way alt fashion fits into daily life.

You should try reading a bit more before replying. I agree with her to an extent. If you only wear it once a year, demand everyone wear wigs and circle lenses, only wear things e-famous lolitas wear, and look down on anything more toned down like most lolitas who only wear it to cons you aren't actually a member of the fashion. You're treating it like a costume and not special evening wear. It's like a goth that only listens to anything but mainstream pop once a year and then demands to be recognized as a tru~ goth.

>Can you imagine someone wearing Full or even lolita in a Dr's office or lab or government building, especially if their preferred style was sweet?

That's not what daily lolita means. You don't have to wear it literally every single day to count. Before it used to mean you wore it often, for example at least once every two weeks or more. Now it pretty much just means someone who wears it outside of conventions and tea parties.

I can't speak for her completely, but when I see that used most people mean treating lolita like normal clothes. My skirts are daily wear for example, but I don't wear them literally every single day. It just means I don't only wear it for special occasions or on Halloween. Generally only the absolute most dedicated lifestylers wear a full coord only to go to the grocery store and play with their dog in the park every day of every week.

Samefagging since I missed this.

>daily basis
Meaning regularly and not for special occasions or conventions. The anon replying was the one who turned it into something literal. Again I wear skirts and dresses daily and that is considered a daily basis, but I won't wear the exact same specific style literally every single day of every single week.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 20 11:51:52 2016 No.9062758 can you bring cage skirts through the airport as a carry on for domestic flights (USA)? they have steel inside so i'm not sure if that's allowed. asking because i don't want it to get bent in my check in- thanks!

Are you autistic? Either you can't tell the difference between literally and figuratively or you're just looking for something to bitch about and feel oppressed by. Literally no one in this thread but you is saying you have to wear full coords every single day of every single week of every single month to be a "real lolita."

How do you iron your frills, grills? Are those tiny handheld steamers worth it? I like that they're compact but is the water capacity enough to get a JSK and shirt done in one go for example?

Pic related, it's a Philips Steam & Go.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 20 12:38:00 2016 No.9062825 >>9062818 I'm not sure about the mini ones, but I know bigger steamers are the best investment a lolita can make. Especially if you're more into old school or VM and MM.

daily basis =/= literally daily

I don't wear full lolita once every two weeks. That was an example of the least amount of time you could be wearing it to still be considered one when you have a demanding job you're unable to wear lolita to. If you have a uniform you wear from 7am to 7pm you most likely aren;t going to have time during the week. Then during the weekends a lot of those people end up staying home and cleaning and doing all their grocery shopping while occasionally going out with their friends/family who might have a dresscode. Obviously if you can afford to wear lolita everyday but only wear it very rarely that wouldn't be considered one, but some people physically can't. I was following the anon's example I responded to.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 20 12:51:55 2016 No.9062844 >>9062839 >I don't wear full lolita once every two weeks. As in I wear it almost every other day to every day even when I'm just sitting in my room. Although now that I think about it this is almost definitely HWC again so there's no point in arguing.

if you wear it daily why are you arguing for the people who don't claiming a title that is literally false?

that's like me saying I'm an airplane pilot just because I want to be

I'm not really one but I wanna be one so I can call myself one right?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 20 19:46:29 2016 No.9063361 >>9062758 As long as there are no points anywhere it should be fine, but you'd probably be better off finding a way to put it into a box inside your suitcase if it'll fit. I usually take delicate lolita items like that in a hardsided case.
