Truely a pioneer

>>9456593
I'm so excited about this!

>>9456593
Bit sad that a lot of people obviously didn't look at PD's current sizing. And Americans need to stop giving their bra size, nobody else understands. Cm or bust.

>>9456528
Don't know what to tell you, anon. :( Maybe if we had some kind of, I don't know, help thread you could get the advice you needed.

>>9456545
I...ok then. Guess that's what I get for asking a board I'm not very familiar with. Thanks.

Try /fa/, they deal with low effort outfit replication like this. Like holy shit this is just desperate levels of sad. The only thing that makes it cosplay is the fucking wig, how fucking mundane.

If you are going to start a thread post more stuff newfag

I have a story.

Going to a public meet with out group which typically is the meets itas go to. Sit down at the table and start up a conversation with a Lolita to make friends since I'm typically the one that reaches out to the newbies to help them out of they need someone. Girl is wearing baby the stars shine bright lucky pack dress set from two years prior. Pretty average looking for a Lolita but looks like she's done some reasearch and made a boring but passable cordinate. Tell her I have the same dress but I'm the black color. She gets excited that she's got the same dress as someone else in the community. I say " yeah baby the stars shine bright is one of my favorite brands". She gets a look on her face that looks almost annoyed and confused at the same time.

"Anon my dress isn't baby the stars shine bright" she says as she touches the hem. I get confused because there wasn't a replica made of the dress and ask her what brand it is.

"It's btssb" she says as if the abbreviation was a word. I try my hardest to contain my laughter and explain to her that it's actually B.T.S.S.B and is a abrevarion for baby the stars shine bright. She gets embarrassed at her newbie mistake and is quiet the whole day. She then later messaged me on Facebook to help her know the abreavtions of the brands and lingo of Lolita.

>>9452085
didn't her dress have a tag, or does baby make tags where it just says BTSSB?
and in what language can you even pronounce BTSSB as a word? it doesn't have a single vocal in it

Competition is apparently fully booked for Saturday, should be interesting to see whats on offer.

Bumping for more Jacynta aka Elizabeth drama. Is she really a headcase or just pretending to be?

Most lolitas will be nice to your face but will secretly think you're a fetishist.

>>9445660
well that fucking sucks, is there anyway around it?

>>9445664
Don't be a fucking creep and stay away from Lolita.

>a thread died for this

Also, if you know any Brazilian lolita blogs, do recommend it! I need new names to follow and read.

>>9442038
>How do you guys avoid taxes?
To avoid taxes I ask the seller to mark down the package and send it as a 'gift'. Doens't always work tho.

>What do you think about handmade lolita in Brazil?
Handmade can be a huge hit or miss, but I like to keep a eye on most stores. I like the work of Melikestea, Le Carrousel and Campanella. The later has recently taking blouses commissions if anyone is interested. I also think Lojinha da Ana Hel has some nice gems. Atelier Charmant intrigues me, I need to see more pieces by them to form a opinion.
Also I don't think I need to say this but stay away from Punkuloli shit, is plain bad. Bitch can't sew.

>What do you miss in the national scene?
I miss the forum, being able to talk and meet lolitas all over the country. It was well organized and we really discussed the fashion.

>>9442296
Yeah, I miss using the forum as well. Facebook killed the format so now we are stuck with their awful groups feature. I'm not sure if nowadays we'd be able to reunite the comm.

I find it funny how the cringe dance groups thread kind of just became an indie idol group thread.

>>9429581
> what do you think would make a majority of groups less shitty?
Aim lower and work on basics. Stellure is making a good example of aiming too high without working their way up. They need to be willing to put in a lot more practice and recording time to get the quality of the idols they want to be. More than that, the whole "anime idol" aesthetic. it's cute for promos and charms like these, but having actual wigs (especially cheap ones) just pushes it more into cringe area.
That being said, I do hope for Stellure to improve. Seeing girls go from ordinary to extraordinary is what makes idols idols.

Good vocals, better hair/makeup/outfits, no hamplanets

"callisto", are you kidding me

Unfortunately OP, >>9421962
is right. The colors you chose for this look horrible and the white contrast thread is a confusing choice. The tailoring looks poorly done as well, though that's hard to tell in a picture of this quality. If you want to make a dress with an empire waist, a pleated skirt, and bishop sleeves that's fine, but learn a little more about tailoring and color theory first, as well as specifics about obtaining the two classic lolita skirt shapes (bell and A-line). I don't think this would have made a proper a-line.

>>9457450
Call out who it was.

This is a situation that you need to take to your local police department, not /cgl/. Stalking is a crime. Don't be the dumbass who gets hurt because she wants to be ~nice~ and not report it.
