Let's talk brand wigs. Does anyone know where certain brands get their wigs? Or any good equivalents?

I know AP has put out their own wig in the past, but I'm curious if anyone knows where the VM curly blonde wig comes from, or that perfect ringlet Baby wig.

Would any of you be interesting in reading an informal report on the typical lifespan of burando? I was thinking of posting a survey to RC and maybe here for people to fill out about their wardrobes so I could run some numbers in excel and write a glorified blog post about changes in brand quality over the last 20 years, so we can have some concrete information as to whether brand quality actually is actually getting shittier or not.

Does anyone ever fib about their body measurements when talking about it in context of lolita? I would think people wouldn't since measurements are pretty big in this fashion - what you can fit into, if you complain about how big AP busts are or how tiny VM waists are, making your views on items have weight based on how you would fit it, and so on. But sometimes I see people say "oh I have a 65cm waist and 88cm bust" and I just can't believe it. I'm a very healthy 67 / 82 and if people aren't lying it makes me a bit self-concious that so many perfect figures are in the fashion. Then again maybe it's just a few outliers I've seen in terms of fibbing or real body size. I'm a lolita in the middle of nowhere so I haven't had a very good sample size of others to try and compare with.

[Anonymous No.9275054]

>>9275041
on one hand, anons don't really have anything to gain by lying about measurements. on another hand, some people are stupid and insecure enough to need to do that even when they are over anon.

your example of the unbelievable measurements isn't that extraordinary though? i'd understand if you gave me some ridiculous unattainable numbers, but 65 cm waist and 88 cm bust isn't anything to write home about.

When I was in my late teens I was 64/86, you just need to be an hourglass body type. Nowadays I'm more like 68/88 and the 68 doesn't go lower even if I lose weight.

[Anonymous No.9275125]

>>9275041
No. I sell things and think it's really shitty when people say this fit me at (x,y) and then I buy them and it doesn't fit me at smaller measurements. I won't post my measurements here normally because of all the retarded shitposting, but I will say that at 89 bust, 67 waist I fit easily in unshirred brand. I've gotten one IW dress that was too tight in a M but AP and Baby are fine. Why do people post unrealistic measurements and shitpost about 90cm busts being fat? I sometimes wonder if they are just obese teenagers who have never measured or bought anything in their life, I can't even fathom what a bust under 80 would look like unless the person is tiny, since on me it wouldnt even be possible with a mastectomy (other than boobs, the rest of my chest is just ribs, not flab)

Um. The tag you posted comes with a lot, if not all of AP's dresses. Just says be careful with the print. The chiffon and cotton dresses all come with the exact same card.

The actual care label that tells you whether or not you can iron this specific dress is actually on the inside of the dress, next to the brand label.

I googled it a bit but what I got didn't really look like what they are wearing. Basically you take some element from lolita fashion for a more casual, cheaper coord. Think of brands like Axes Femme, Secret Honey and Ank Rouge. But from the pic you posted it looks like you start with a normie coord and mix in some lolita items, for example replace your normie shoes with teaparty's.

So another lolita was showing me her wardrobe today and it smelled absolutely atrocious when the door was opened.

Please tell me you gulls aren't a bunch of nasty ass bitches. I handwash or dry clean everything I wear. On the rare occasion I don't sweat that day i sometimes re wear a dress once without washing it, but the thought of someone never washing their shit is killing me. Even if you can't smell it, we can (there's another girl in my comm who smells so bad you can't even get near her, but her stuff is crappy handmade that probably wouldn't hold up to washing anyway)

so, I don't wash all of my clothes after every wear (because frankly that's stupid, bad for your clothes, and I wear deodorant like a normal adult). but I do hand wash or dry clean them regularly. blouses I wash after 1-2 wears, main pieces & outerwear every 2-4 wears. legwear after every wear because ew gross.

I have an overly critical family and have not been told I smell bad (except one time and that's because my tights dried improperly and had a musty funk... I was in a rush so I bit the bullet. my mom gave me shit for it all day)

[Anonymous No.9277103]

>>9276738
If you Google there are lots of blog posts on this.

There are honestly no directly lolita-related films except Shimotsuma Monogatari, so nothing is compulsory. If you're looking at it from a lifestyler perspective, it's all just stuff set in or inspired by related historical periods, so like Coppola's Marie Antoinette, or things featuring Victorian/Edwardian maiden protagonists like The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Alice in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables, etc etc. Your perspective is going to be different based on your substyle as well...a lot of gothic lolitas like horror or adaptations of Victorian gothic novels, and desu if you're not an oldschooler most sweet lolitas just seem to be into anime.

I feel like Gothic Lolita Psycho needs to come with some kind of warning for being a spectacularly bad B-grade slasher flick. Basically just watch it in the same vein as looking at the cringe threads for entertainment. The brolly is cool though.

I'm 62/80, but I'm also short, have thin shoulders, a small ribcage, practically no boobs, etc. All the other women in my family are built like this too. Some people are just predisposed to being really small. That being said... in this fashion, I wouldn't say someone with real small measurements has a perfect figure. Being more towards the average is definitely advantageous. I know I can't wear any new releases besides skirts, dresses just hang off of me.

>>9277520
I know that feel, I'm lucky that I can make things work most of the time. I'm 81/63-65, but because I work out I have 'man shoulders' (aka most jackets are too tight if they fit my torso) compared to my size, don't have the tiny ribcage (my underbust is 68cm which I think is about normal for Asians) and have enough boob to wear a push up/padded bra if I need to. Having a wider back and shoulders have definitely saved me when it comes to wearing JSKs because the shirring doesn't bunch so much across the top, just at the waist and that is covered by the waist ties.

I always think the 'perfect' figure would be about my height (158cm), slightly narrower shoulders, same ribcage size but slightly bigger boobs (maybe 83cm bust... so you can pad/flatten as needed for different cuts), 64cm waist so you can wear most releases but aren't *too* small, maybe like 86-88cm hip so stuff that is a little big can be worn just a bit lower on the waist and won't fall off, and skinny arms and legs.

My measurements are 60/78 and it's definitely my tiny rib cage (65cm) and shoulders (I have to buy kids' coats because anything fitted in the shoulders looks ridiculous on me) that cause the most problems with fit. I have a lot of issues with jsks and ops gaping along the neckline and straps are always falling off. Certain styles always look terrible on me. I get the "bunch" in back too, but don't mind it nearly as much as the other issues.

I agree that body types on both ends of the spectrum are far from ideal.

Age is, whether you like it or not, something that affects your figure and measurements. Bodies change shape, with things such as boobs growing or sagging, and hips broadening, and the differences between the ages of around 20 to 30 are noticeable. That said, you can't just go off of the measurements for bust/waist/hips alone for knowing whether something will fit. Different proportions, such as shoulder width, torso length, general frame build and figure shape, etc, all factor in, as well as things such as muscle tone. Combined with the simple differences of builds between different racial groups as wel, it's very hard to say what an 'ideal' figure or set of measurements are, regardless of whether you take the ranges of measurements that the lolita brands cater for to be the perfect standard, which is a quite frankly stupid thing to do. In short, a single one simply does not exist.

I don't dislike her but I'm not a fan of her. She's not a lolita, she just wears it for work sometimes and modeling for lolita brands isn't even her main job.

Slim chances, especially the ones that released a month or two ago. Just keep a note on how well each series sells. If they happen to have all cuts and color ways, more chances of it having a steeper discount and put into future LPs.

Maybe for you. Some people have weird fat distribution and can't accomplish a great bust to waist ratio. Inb4 "just diet and exercise!!" I don't allow myself to eat over 1,100 cals a day and I exercise 4 days a week, 2 days cardio 2 days weight lifting. And I still don't have a perfect body.

I've done a fabric store after a meetup, starbucks after a meetup, a cafe to meet non-lolita friends before a lolita meetup with lolita friends (haha), popped into various stores for little things along the way to a meetup. Probably because none of these places are ever repeat visits, I still get asked why I'm dressed up (to which "I'm going to/came from a party" is a good enough answer anyway).

I've done the grocery store in head-to-toe AP before, but that's a cutsew dress with star bag and cute shoes and scrunchie instead of a poofball with bonnet, so I'm not sure if that counts. Still get some odd looks, though. I wouldn't do the grocery stores in three petticoats, but that's because some of the stores around here tend to be very narrow things and the last thing I want is a snag on my chiffon skirts due being unable to avoid brushing the shelves because I'm wearing three petticoats.

[Anonymous No.9281097]

>>9280982

The big giant ocean between US and Japan makes it expensive and slow to shuttle stock back and forth between the Japanese store and the US store. Even if some print is so completely unsaleable in Japan that people are even avoiding AP's lucky packs, it makes more sense for AP to dump the dresses on Closet Child's doorstep than box it up, spend money and time to ship it to the US and put them on sale in the US.

So basically, whatever odd things are happening to old stock on the Japanese side doesn't affect the US side, you have to watch the US store stock independantly.

The stores don't allow pictures in them so be mindful of that. I think most stuff is okay to pick up as long as you put it back in its place, things they don't want you touching is kept in clear boxes you need to ask for staff assistance to open.

Hey friend I know it's annoying when people are born with things that you aren't born with but you may just need to accept the build you have.

You aren't eating enough, and on 1100 cal I suspect you aren't eating enough protein. If you don't eat enough or if your macros are wrong, your body tries to hold on to its fat stores and you generally don't get as much change from your (excessive) exercise. You can do bad things to your bone density and internal organs from not eating enough (like anorexics that get fatty liver, brain shrinkage and osteoporosis). I'd go up to at least 1400cal and make sure you're mainly eating lean protein + vegetables, plus starchy carbs like sweet potato to give you good fuel to work out with, and actually ease back on the amount of cardio - maybe change it up to a shorter HIIT session or go for quality over quantity. Monitor your heart rate during cardio as well to make sure you're staying in a safe range.

As someone who started wearing lolita at a very young age (early teens), seeing how my body changed as I got older was hard. I fit everything perfectly up until a certain age where suddenly I needed help zipping up the dresses and the arm holes were a little uncomfortable. Dieting and exercising will help, and something I'm trying to do and struggling with, but no matter what I do, I'll never have my 13 year old body back, and that is okay.

My town is anything but small though, so the only places people actually recognize me is the Wawa I go to grab coffee multiple times a week (both in and out of lolita) and the very small post office I only go to if I'm near it anyway. The same clerk has worked there for at least 5 years now.

[Anonymous No.9282457]

>>9282370

I'd say it depends on the coord. Hair down will obscure most earrings anyway, and no one really notices rings and bracelets if you're wearing long sleeves. However, a low neck anything tends to look empty, and very plain dresses sometimes need a little pizzazz to jazz things up. If you have issues with that, just avoid low neck things and make up for the lack of jewellery in other ways.

Basically, so long as you coord around your own needs/preferences, you'll be fine. Just don't go around whining that you need asspats while looking shitty because you omg!need to wear this coord but omg!can't stand the jewellery that would make it look more complete.

It's not what's in style, but a lot of people still wear it, albeit not usually with the all-out 2012 era styling. I've done a few OTT sweet throwback coords for meets before and always gotten a good response from my comm which is 90% new-classic chiffon ruffle style people, a lot of lolitas still have fondness in their hearts for this style. Personally most of my favorite prints come from this era but I usually wear them in a much more toned down way. I'm sort of happy that it's out of style though cause I've gotten most of my wishlist dresses for very cheap now.

You must be new. A lot of brand blouses and OPs, especially older ones, are notorious for having huge, frumpy bust and waist measurements but tiny armholes on the puff sleeves or detachable sleeves. Newer blouses and long-sleeved blouses don't usually have this problem but it's not nonexistent. I personally own an older blouse with a 95cm bust that's painfully tight on my arms even though my figure is 83/64.
