I'm in a pretty big comm and when I go to meets I always run into at least one girl who only wears it for occasions like meets or cons and they say they can't imagine wearing it more than that.

Then I wonder if all "lifestylers" are really only on cgl because the more I go to meets, the more I find people who don't want to be lifestylers what so ever yet they have like 50 main pieces only for meets and special occasions.

There's like 300 some people in my comm and I RARELY run into someone who is into the idea of wearing it even every weekend. I tell people that I wear it every weekend (I can't wear it to work) and they get shocked.

Sorry for the skepticism, but it's starting to seem like the only people who truly believe in wearing the fashion all the time are on here and don't seem to exist too much outside of cgl space bubble.

>> No.9928786

>>9928777
It really depends on your local comm and the people in it, I find. If it's full of people like what you describe, someone who's a daily lolita may not get along with them and would prefer to go lonelita, so you might not even know they exist in your area unless you run into them "in the wild", so to speak.
Case in point: I'm a daily lolita, I do interact with my comm and attend meets but most of my time wearing lolita is spent outside of meets. The only difference to your situation is the fact I do run into my comm members occasionally, when they're not in lolita themselves, and sometimes people who know what lolita is approach me to ask about it. And I very much do exist outside of cgl, haha.

>> No.9928790

>>9928786
Well that's silly and not what I meant. Of course we all exist outside of cgl.

I run into my other comm members in and out of lolita. But the girls I have run into while they were wearing it were either on their way to a meet, or they were every daying it in a fucking replica.

I've run into more than a handful of girls wearing reps. Sad but true.

I guess it does depend on the area but I only used my comm as an example because there are literally so many in a small area. How come I never find other girls that wear it every day and do the whole lolita lifestyle thing and don't are about looking silly to normies? It's the opposite vibe.

The only time I really see lifestyles is on here and on facebook on occasion. Outside of that not much. I find a lot more people into only wearing it sometimes.

What helps drive this home for me is the amount of girls I've met who say things like "I can't wait to take this off!!". That is not the mentality of lifestyler who can't get enough of the fashion. I never want to change out of my fucking coords and don't until it's time for bed. I wear them every chance I get. This is not what other people I've met are doing.

And it's like not like I can't relate or some shit. I just think it's interesting that the people who take the fashion seriously and want to wear it as much as possible are usually all congregated on this shit hole board.

It's not just those girls though! I have a friend who recently left lolita and she fit all the smallest shit from Mary Magdalene just fine but she would still tear herself out it as fast as she got home.

She'd even ask me if I wanted to change if I was at her house and wearing lolita. She couldn't even fathom the thought of somehow being fine in the clothes.

I feel like there are just more out there that don't care as much about the fashion as the re-re's on cgl do. Like most of my comm is just secret normies or something.

is it in the rules or etiquette of Fril that you must comment before buying?

I ordered two things through japonica. For one of them, I wrote to tell them that they needed to comment on the page before buying (it was in the description of the item). The other one doesn't seem to have any requests like that. Anyway, japonica commented on both listings to ask to buy them.. One was purchased successfully. On the one that didn't ask for comments, the owner hasn't replied for days, I'm worried someone else will buy it. Maybe they got mixed up and did it for both.

I don't want to pester them but should I email japonica saying like 'you don't need to comment on that one to buy it', then again i don't know that for absolute sure, and I don't want to confuse them?

One thing I've noticed is all the lolitas I know who wear Lolita all the time don't identify as lifestylers. They just go to put on things and end up in Lolita.

>> No.9928982

>>9928966
No, it's not a rule, it's just polite to do so. Some SSes will just comment on everything; FJ does the same. Maybe it's protocol for the staff? I think it's to ensure that the SS gets in no one's bad books and can continue doing business with the seller in the future even if the deal failed. Some sellers may choose to award the item to the first commenter, if someone buys it before they can respond to the comment.

Gulls, I’m in a little bit of a predicament. I sold a dress and headbow to a buyer who has all positive feedback on LM- the tracking number says it was delivered yesterday. The buyer immediately files a PayPal dispute saying she didn’t get it and wants a refund. The dispute was immediately shut down when I provided the tracking info. She claims it was stolen off her front porch- how often does this actually happen? I can’t tell if she’s lying or telling the truth.

TaoBao brands are often considered indie brands and any indie brand topic is full of them. They are only listed separated sometimes because the platform hosts more than most others and all are Chinese so need SS to buy international for most people. They are small brands often owned by one or only a few people who happen to hold a store frond on the same site. It's not like they are all owned by a big TaoBao company or so...

It doesn't become a different store depending on if an indie brand uses taobao, storenvy, etsy, uses a FB page, or pays to get a/makes their own website made and hosted...

What are your favorite dresses in your wardrobe that you just can't get enough of, and can coord at least 5 different ways?

Also what are dresses that you find can only be coorded one or two ways?

I realized as much as I love all my dresses I want to shift my wardrobe to easier to wear pieces. I have my dream dresses that I wear only 1-2 times a year, but non dream dresses I can style multiple ways and make a good last minute coord with. Sometimes I want to wear one of my most loved dresses more often but I just can't think of how to not repeat a coord for the 10th time.

I love the way I look in lolita clothes but they are SO physically uncomfortable. I'ts the only reason I don't wear them very often. I don't know how much of a part my health problems play in that, but it is exhausting. Even though I always make sure my clothes are comfortably loose on me it's still tight and heavy. Hot too. I spent a couple years being upset at myself for never wearing lolita even though I love it, but at this point I've come to accept that I just can't wear that kind of stuff comfortably.

I actually find Holy Lantern high-waist jsk pretty wearable, you can pretty much coord it like any other darker-coloured dress. It's just the flocking that makes me nervous to damage it. As for CDC, both jsks can be coorded a variety of different ways as well. What makes it limiting is that it's very fancy with gold trim, so that makes it inappropriate for casual occassions. Which is a different topic than saying "you can't make that many coords with it". You can, it's just hard to coord it for something other than tea parties.

As for my most versatile pieces, they tend to be the plainest jsks, or jsks with detachable pieces. Solids and muted colour schemes are more versatile. If you want to have a lot of coords, then pick a colour that goes well with a lot of other colours, eg black or neutral brown, dusty colours or pastels.

Least versatile are those pieces that are the most flashy OTT princess onepieces that don’t have detachable bits to take off and make it less fancy. On the other hand, they’re often the most opulent pieces of self-indulgence, so there’s something really special about wearing them instead of just throwing on yet another plain jsk.

I should mention that most of my blouses are optimized for jsks, as in they're too sheer or they don't have a nice bottom to go with skirts, plus I also have like ten cardigans and another ten(maybe?) boleros that I can easily mix and match with different jsks. Someone else who prefers skirts better probably has a different set of blouses and other things that they can mix and match better with skirts.

I work at a post office and yes this does happen, but it's probably a 3/100 chance depending on your neighbourhood. Ultimately you have done everything on your part and so has your postage provider.
If someone walks into a store and steals shit off a shelf it's not anybody's fault, people are just shit. She can't hold you responsible for the fact that someone else stole her parcel and you need to stand firm on that. If Paypal have sided with you she's either scamming or it's not your problem.

Local theft needs to be reported to local police. Tell her to talk to them.

Yeah anon, you're very right about skirts. I do like JSKs and OPs, even have some fancier ones like you mentioned including a rather OTT AP piece despite mostly liking toned down classic and gothic, but they're outnumbered by skirts really.

Not only are skirts super affordable but they're so flexible. I have lots of blouses to combo, bustiers, vests, capes, jackets, boleros, etc. Bustiers and vests are really my true love for pairing with skirts. So while I love my JSKs and OPs when I'm going for a specific look or just feel like wearing them I feel like skirts are what bring out more of my creativity with coording.

Like, I wouldn't say I definitively have one piece more flexible than others, but with my current wardrobe one is IW's Dollhouse skirt in black. Really easy to pull out the red, white, and dusty pink from the print for blouse and accessories, or mostly stick to black, or bring in grey to go with everything, etc etc.

Plain stuff is also just as versatile, I'm probably just fond of Dollhouse for combos because it's a simple print in terms of colors and I own plenty in all of those colors to let different parts of it pop.

I know since you shit all over AP for no wellfounded reason you wouldn't know this, but prices for items like that are high in the japanese and western secondhand marketplace as well, so it's not exclusively china that has been liking the newer releases. Normally stuff that's popular in china doesn't necessarily go for as much as it would over there secondhand in JP much less the western areas.

And if you think a higher retail price or good second hand value automatically means the item is equally as good constructed, detailed and made out of better quality materials, you are naive as hell.

Same here. I know people gripe about their prices being higher than CC's, but I understand it what with all the extra perks that come with their website and service compared to CC. (Though it's kind of BS how after stuff sitting on their webstore for years they still won't lower the price, they'll never sell WW, 50% off once in a blue doesn't cut it.) I seriously appreciate the better pictures especially, I'm just so tired of CC's shit photography.

I've also generally had really good service with their customer service in english. Pretty fast response times with really good english. They're happy to give me more details on an item if I ask and I've also requested multiple times to purchase Sheglit items they didn't have on their store and they were happy to do it right away for me.

Eventually you'll get small enough to fit it....? idk, I'm misunderstanding the question somehow?

Anyway, it's why I usually go for the shirred piece of any release, they'll generally go up or down several sizes before you're either too big or too small for them. Gives you a lot of leeway if you're the type that bloats, or alternatively you're the type that hoards dresses for ten years -- you could lose/gain a lot of weight in ten years.

>> No.9931762

>>9931662

I think they sometimes pack away old season stock and then bring it back again next season. Dissappointed not to see Higanbana too -- the print is gorgeous but bodice repeating the print didn't quite hit the mark, I'd buy it as a skirt and put a bustier over it, or buy it on sale to mod it into a different dress.

I still put in for a couple of sales dresses and a headband. The way IW runs their shop though, I wouldn't be surprised if everything except the headband was sold out, hah.

>> No.9931819

>>9931574
It depends on the piece. My very first lolita dress is too small and I will never fit it again (bought as a young teen) but I will never sell it because it's precious, also it won't go for much. I recently bought another piece that is 3 inches too small at least, and I'm using it for motivation to keep losing weight.

For pieces where you like the print you can try finding an alternate cut that is more accommodating. For skirts, blouses and shoes I would probably sell to get more fitting and comfortable versions. Never hurts to have roomier basics even if you do lose weight.

Sometimes it makes me salty how much lolita has changed. I'm not a fan of old-school, but I feel like there was more ''acceptable'' in lolita. Like, if AP would release a cut like pic related in 2018, some people would argue it's not lolita even though it was released by a lolita brand. Because it doesn't fit a double layer of petticoats and doesn't reach the knees and doesn't have enough lace. Like people argue that salopettes aren't lolita, but if salopettes were released by lolita brands 15 years earlier I think they would have been accepted as lolita.

I think it comes down to this, some people have this image in their head of what lolita is/was at a certain period of time and they don't want the fashion to move on or evolve from that point at all.

I first found out about the fashion around the end of OTT sweet era, it honestly feels like some people are still stuck in it sometimes. I don't even wear sweet but I've seen some girls in simpler sweet-classic coords that would've been accepted as lolita in the past, being told to call their fashion otome because the skirt length isn't exactly at the knees and they're only wearing one petticoat and they're wearing a simple hat instead of a head eating bow.

At the same time, brands put out things now that are slightly different and people whine that it's not lolita, even if it would've been considered lolita if it was put out 10 years ago. The complaints about tea length dresses or even A line dresses that hit mid calf come to mind.

Found the skirt by typing in "Pretty 199" and the jsk by typing in "Pretty 2001". Looks like they changed their name to Angelic Pretty somewhere around 2001, 2002. There's a few more items in the "Pretty 2001" search results, you can look at those.

If you have access to old Japanese street fash magazines (Kera, not fruits), then you might be able to see pictures of old Pretty stuff pre-1999. The GLB was first published in 2001, I guess you can take that as borderline before and after.

I think those mini dresses as well as shorter skirts are out of fashion because the main demographic is older nowaways and they feel more comfortable in longer/roomier cuts etc. There are also barely any people who'd fit into stuff like this and brands discovered that more forgiving sizing = maximum profit.

It's the underlying morbidity of the nurse theme that makes me feel uneasy and that they are surrounded by death leads to the general association of death in my mind. It'd feel disrespectful to my family knowing that they are still in mourning wearing something like this. I don't have anything against real nurses btw., I respect their work even more after the whole incident and maybe this is also another reason for my reluctance. Dressing up as them is a whole different topic, especially as those outfits are resembling those of war nurses. This is something that I can't associate with fun and dressing atm, it's really fucking serious business to me. But of course you fuckers can't be respectful of my opinion because "lol someone died, it can't be so bad right".

Does it matter? This thing is horrendous, replica or not.

Is everything by h.naoto free size or something? I want to get something from their main store and while they do list measurements they don't really have "sizes" to choose. Am I safe to assume that it's only 1 size only?

Yep, there's only one size.

>>9934472 Not really but I would never buy anything from them other than the very plain solid and floral jsk's. The things they've released recently have not been my style (I like nice dresses that are tailored looking but very adjustable so you can get a good fit), but surely you can see how clashing and random that model look is, along with how cheap the lace overlay looks next to the fancy lace socks. Grey is hard to coord, I know this from buying other grey stuff. The way they did this just looks color blocked and awkward, like they didn't have enough matching items to color balance properly

But nurses care for people anon, not cause them to die. I can understand it reminds you of hospitals, which reminds you of your situation, but nursing itself is not morbid. They take care of lots of people anon.

It does mattern because if it's a replica it needs to be taken off the sales group. Hideous or not it can stay posted if it's not a replica unfortunately
