Lolita general: daddy's cummies dress edition. Old thread

I like it but I get paid on the 3rd so I guess I'll have to get this second hand some time.
Also I like Dreamy Planetarium and everyone here seemed to hate it. /cgl/ opinions are whatever because I've got the sailor cut hanging in my closet.

This is a question I've never seen brought up: would anyone or has anyone ever worn an underskirt just as a skirt?

Little Dipper has some pictures of girls wearing their underskirts like that (they aren't great though) and I feel someone could make a cute coordinate with the one pictured here, if they covered the elastic waist with a sash or wore a long enough jacket. Thoughts?

I get tired of seeing AP discussion heading lolita general. Sometimes I feel like that's all it is.

>>9025437
Well maybe instead of complaining and doing nothing you could make the next thread when this one sages with another brands release?

>>9025437
That's interesting me and I'm sorry but I am part of the reason there is so much AP discussion in LolitaGen. I like their stuff.

I like other stuff, too though and I rarely see stuff like Baby and AATP getting discussed unless someone forces the topic of their releases instead, and the same with the other big brands.

However I've noticed that /cgl/ even though they try to distance themselves from the so to speak "hivemind" - there does seem to be a large group here that likes classical looking stuff opposed to anything else. Especially over the years from what I've seen in self posting.
And when people talk about dresses they like on here? It's always something that looks like it leans towards a more mature look.
It's like everyone here is interested in maturity but can't actually maintain it in themselves.

>>9025443
speaking of hivemind tier responses.

>>9025452
If you have an issue with brands not being discussed enough why not bring it up instead of complaining? Seriously, where's the logic to whine that something isn't happening when you could help it happen?

wow are you a bot? It's like you just repeat yourself in different ways... it's kind of impressive.

Anyway. I'm the other anon that replied as well
>>9025449
I like talking about AP so I can't really be of help in this situation.

Anyway, about this release.
I really like the JSK and I really want the pink colorway but I bet that'll be hella popular and hard to get so I might settle for sax.
Also what is the lighter color of blue they are offering?

>>9025468
no, it's just I fail to understand why people whine but do nothing to fix what they are taking issue with.

>>9025435
The coord I'm planning I'm using an underdress from VM with a Roland jacket over it. It can work pretty well I think. You might have to add a bit extra to make it not seem too pain though but that looks like it could be a cute skirt.

>>9025390
I'll probably pick it up 2nd hand. I still have my shooting star and melty moon bags that don't go with much now that I sold some stuff in my wardrobe and I might try to find it. It goes really well with the shit I sell at my artist alley table, and sadly my wardrobe has drifted over to a more elegant sweet rather than pastel vomit.

I'm kinda holding out for Diner Doll, still need to pick up some older releases I missed.

Someone posted up a really awesome info-graphic about getting 'v' shaped, j-fashion style bangs a while ago. Does any anon remember what I'm talking about, and could re-share it? Going to get bangs cut in tomorrow and I wanted to bring along a good example or explanation of what I'm looking for.

>>9025489
Holy shit, I really hope this is true hahaha.

Me too; can you imagine them having all those AP decals everywhere as their stock sloooowly sells to random people and they have no way to re-stock it because AP has blacklisted them?

>>9025521
Wait, isn't this is the same notice that they put up ages ago? It's in the wayback machine going back a few years. This IS the first one from that other instance.

>>9025489
>>9025521
Ok help me out here, I see this a lot and I have no idea, but are ya'll talking about the Wonderlands of America mall in Texas? And that shop Harajuku Dreams or whatever?

>>9025627
Do they? I've never been in a physical AP shop. I know they don't tear/cut the bottom of them off of my online purchases unless it's something that was on sale.

Either way, stock in a legitimate shop shouldn't have cut tags. AP wouldn't cut them prior to sending them to a legitimate stockist.

I'm just imagining Maki and Asuka sitting there like this about the whole thing.

>>9025642
well shit. it didn't used to be. GDI AP, why?

Anyone reserving items from IW or Baby/AatP? Or waiting for any upcoming reservations?
I'm excited for the bear dress from IW and might get it in white. Though I know it's a rerelease.

In all seriousness, I wish baby would actually release something I like sometime soon. Their recent stuff sucks. I don't like AP, but I'm about to start buying it because of AATP and baby releasing ugly ass shit

I was hoping to get this on sale, as I don't want to spend a lot to look ita. But it has sold out in everything but blue

>>9025437
I was honestly thinking the same thing earlier. It's just sweet dominated in general and it's kind of rare that another brand dominates a lolita general thread. Everyone's gotta give their shitty "ew it looks like melty cummies xD" opinion 13 times on a rehashed AP dress.

I don't like AP, but I understand why it inspires so much debate - it's because the prints are colorful and crazy that you get polarized opinions. Look at this classic shit from vm, I love it but it looks the same as everything else they release, so there's not much to be said. It's nice?

I really enjoyed the Mana talk we had a couple of Lolita Generals ago.

My comm is also sweet dominated too. Sometimes I think I should become a lone lolita. Talking about AP or Baby all the time wears me down.
>tfw no one in your comm appreciates non printed stuff. no clue about jetj, jm, mm, mmm

ps. Old picture of Mana. I wouldn't have recognized him. He looks so pretty.

>>9025698
I'd kill for that skirt but VM is a bit expensive usually with how plain their pieces are. I stopped looking at the site because of it. Plus I don't really like most of the IW solids I bought, they just don't feel special compared to my AP and baby prints. I have a feeling if I bought that solid VM I wouldn't be able to coord it interestingly enough

I love VM and apron frill is one of my dream dresses in green. I'm considering that ivory lace one there. I fucking hate prints, they're mostly ugly tacky shit.

Another IW monstrosity that is pretty much a rerelease of the mangy cat print. Looks like someone made this print in Microsoft word with clip art and copy/paste

>>9025613
Lurk more before posting, bitch

>>9025715
>>9025706
I'd still take these ugly dresses over any AP melty fart cum cross berry delight dress.

But thats probably why they keep getting discussed. That and how much Baby and AttP keep fucking up with their recent releases.

>>9025706
I love this dress to death. I can't wait till I get my first paycheck and I can blow it all on this and the matching accessories. I'm thinking of getting the normal waist cut, though.

>>9025726
They really do keep dropping the ball hard. I feel like they'll come up with decent concepts (e.g. A Les Mis dress? Such a great idea IMO) but will fail terribly at the execution. The upcoming AatP, the choir one? The most godawful fugly trim ruins an otherwise lovely dress.
I don't get it.

>>9025724
mmm yes, very informative, so glad you could help me anon! Also how did you know my name? You are so well informed!

>>9025664
Oooh, didn't see that, and I was thinking of trimming my bangs today, thanks anon!

Anon... look at that random lace on the bodice. It's bad enough the dress appears to be navy x black, why on earth should there be a random piece of white lace? It seems very out-of-place. I like being tacky, I buy a lot of meta, but there are limits.

Right. Like I said, I'm not getting that cut, I'm getting pic related.

>>9025789
That's a bit better. The print is nice up close, it just seems unbalanced from a distance. Plus that blue is so bright, it might look OK in gothic prints, but something about the contrast just isn't appealing for classic. Here's to you finding matching blues and not getting boobloaf, good luck!

Does anyone know if the straps on AP's Tartan Holic skirt are detachable? I like the look of it but the straps make me think "maid"

I like the black colourway. The only thing that annoys me is that the black stripe of the skirt front is not centered. They could have tried to do the pleats in a different way.

>>9026423
I noticed that for some reason cgl wants everyone to hate melty Sky. Some girl who posted the release pic got shat on for saying she liked it and thought it looked like ice cream and not cum.

Same here, my community is full of classic and gothic lolitas. Non print dress are underappreciated in my comm. Most of the new members haven't even heard of Mana. It makes me feel sad.

>>9025943
I also want those MmM lace socks. Hopefully they will release them again. It's something I miss in my gothic lolita wardrobe. I don't get why they stopped selling those socks.

>>9026622
I wish you were in my comm.

I haven't even seen anyone dress in gothic in my comm yet. I would prefer that at least. I mentioned MmM a couple of times and there were a lot of ..what... OH that's how you say that brand's name!

Poor Mana ;_;

>>9026622
Strange somehow - one would expect to see more non-prints among classic and gothic lolitas, at least I would. How does your community dress then?

>>9026635
My comm is either sweet or sweet classic. If they veer into classic, it's print IW which to me is nearly on the same level as Baby in terms of sweetness.

>>9026611
ok. This one is acceptable, but I wish it had Meta's quality instead

>>9026640
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the shiny ruffles either (and I don't like the cheap-looking buttons).

I like the overlay but hate the shiny fabric peeking out underneath, especially on the OP. I'm hoping I might be able to pick it up secondhand and hem the shiny fabric myself. It's still in stock, but $300 for a dress I don't 100% love as-is is a bit much for me.

>>9026645
Or maybe you can get it during a sale? I don't follow Baby/AatP closely, how much lower do prices usually go during sales?

Watching Gossip Girl and it makes me think of lolita somehow.

So I'm attending my first meet-up next weekend and I'm going to wear this JSK, but someone in my comm told me Emikyu is not a lolita brand and that it would be frowned upon if I wear Emikyu to meet-ups. I don't see how this is less lolita than artsy JetJ dresses or AP sack dresses?? Emikyu is my favourite brand so now I'm wondering if I should just become a lone lolita.

>>9028191
It's an otome brand

>>9028191
Emikyu is not a lolita brand but a lot of their stuff can be worn in a lolita coord, your dress included. Your comm member is a dick for saying it's frowned upon. You will look cuter than any girl wearing some cheap but lolita bodyline shit. I wore Emikyu to meet-ups when I didn't want to go all out, but wanted something more comfy. I wear my Emikyu dresses with cute shirts, oxford shoes and without petti to work and stuff, so whenever I wear it to meet-ups I make sure to wear a petti, a lolita blouse and maybe some cuter shoes or at least lolita legwear. I never heard any complaints from my comm, just compliments. If you're unsure, just make sure your other pieces are pretty strictly lolita and you're good to go. Just rock your cute teddies, anon!

>>9028191
>Emikyu
You sound like a huge weeb, just say ETC. And no, it's not a lolita brand. How did you find cgl without not knowing something that basic?

>>9028191

Emikyu is an otome brand, not lolita. If you head on over to the coord help thread and ask nicely for help to make sure the resulting outfit is indeed lolita, they should at least be able to give you feedback on whether the result looks lolita or it reads too much otome to be lolita. Then just wear your otome-dress-coorded-as-lolita coord to the tea party, and say you know it's an otome brand but you tried to coord it in a lolita way, and things will be absolutely fine.

The real problem is that this is your first meetup, so you want to create a good impression, yet you seem rather pig-headed about insisting on wearing otome to a lolita meetup and insisting that every lolita accepts your decision to wear something different than what the meetup is for. If you're going to be the clueless newbie who doesn't know the otome brands/style from lolita brands/style and then pig-headedly shouts at everyone that you don't understand the difference and then demand that they explain it all to your dumb newbie self while you make them defend every painting dress and every sack dress that JetJ and AP has ever done, well you really gotta wonder if any sane girl wants to spend time and energy to do something like that for you. Especially if they've never met you before, given that this is your first meet.

>>9028201
>>9028223

ETC is not an otome brand either. They don't call themselves that, but for some reason people on cgl and tumblr label them so. They are usually categorized as lolita in Japan despite that they didn't promote themselves as a lolita brand. When ETC, JM and Milk were starting out the word lolita had a really bad image because of a child rapist. Otome was just a word to describe a feminine, luxurious style and the word has since gone out of fashion.

>>9028234

Unless she's attending a lolita meetup in Japan, I still wouldn't suggest she show up to her very first meetup and then proceed to tell everyone there that they're wrong, then get on a soap box and hold a lecture on the history of ETC/history of lolita.

But hey, it's not my reputation that's on the line. She can show up and be the annoying Miss Know-It-All that makes everyone hate her on first meeting, thereby forever dooming ETC to be categorised as otome because everyone will remember that letting people wear ETC to lolita meetups means you get lectured on how you and everything you know is wrong and everything ETC is more lolita-er than thou.

ETC, JM, and MILK do not consider themselves lolita brands, but "girly fashion". They make a conscious effort to separate themselves (not in same magazines, shops often on different floors, etc)

>>9028250
>projecting this hard
Are you that Oregon girl?

>>9028191
It's not a lolita brand but with the amount of crossover anyone who said you couldn't wear it I'd consider to have a grossly-sandy vagina. Wear it and be cute and know that person's an asshole

>>9028201
>>9028211
I thought it was okay for lolita because it's on lolibrary, closet child, lolita updates etc. and lolita's wear it. Now I'm a bit confused tough. I know about otome kei and I've looked at the otome kei general a couple of times but the people there seemed unsure if otome kei even exists and so I don't have much confidence in their opinion. I also dislike the otome kei styling so I stopped paying attention to it.

>>9028204
Thanks! My coord will probably look pretty basic but I don't want to go all out and be creative at my first meet-up either. I think I might post it in the coord help topic of my comm to get some opinions, it'll be more sugar-coated advice but at least my comm will know I'm willing to improve.

>>9028223
Why are you so angry?

>>9028254
I know they're not lolita brand either, I'm just tired of people labelling any ETC coords as otome even if it's the most basic coord just because of the brand name.

>>9028223
>>9028201
This is like saying everything AP does is lolita, cause it's a lolita brand.
No, those mini skirts an salopettes are not lolita, just associated with it.

This ETC JSK is perfectly fine for lolita. A lot of their items are often seen in lolita. Just make sure the rest of your coord says lolita. Nobody will care at the meet up that this is a JSK form a brand that's typically associated with otome. If they do judge you for not wearing an item from a lolita exclusive brand then fuck them they are idiots.

>>9028250
Do you really have to explain yourself when you go to a meetup? Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in, otome, lolita, who cares

>>9028256

No, no idea who she is.

>>9028258

Where do you get that I'm angry? I give you a solution and tell you things will be ok in the first paragraph.

Your original comment says you can't see why you're not allowed to wear a brand that people think isn't lolita to a lolita meetup, and then you go on to compare it to JetJ and AP dresses, not sure if you're trying to imply ETC is somehow more lolita than either brand, and finally you finish by saying you'd rather become a lone lolita if you're not allowed to show up to a meetup in your chosen (non lolita) brand. You're not exactly coming across as being open to answers either, you know?

>>9028267

She says in her original comment that someone in her comm already told her it's not lolita.

So eventually they'll tell her again it's not lolita, and then she'll end up soapboxing and having to explain that she got her information from 4chan.

That, and it also means everyone here telling her it's not lolita is repeating information her comm already told her.

>>9028266

That's what I said though? I told her to go to the coord thread so more seasoned lolitas can look over her coord just to make sure it reads as lolita and not otome.

Okay so I'm totally cool with paying loads for dresses and shit but I can't be the only one that gets caught up on the price of blouses right? Because all the nice ones are like £50+ but then I'm putting it under a JSK so I'm paying probs like £80 for sleeves and a collar

>>9028281
Same anon, 400? 500? for a dress? Fine, but christ, $150 for a blouse? Fuck off! I can see why a dress could be worth "more" --material, details etc but I struggle with blouses. I try to limit myself to only buying blouses under a certain price on auctions just to push myself to get more... my blouse game is pathetic.

>or maybe I should only buy OPs
>and die during aussie summers

>>9028297
Short sleeved OPs are comfier than layered jsks in summer imo, especially the sackish ones IW makes. Australian summer is shit though either way and you still die in shorts and a singlet

>>9025698
that underbust dress is fab

>>9025613
no, probably not, go and read the thread you linked and find it on AP's site if you're interested

>>9028281
this, it's all dumb
I'm also angry about pettis being expensive most places but I can at least justify that since it's something I'll use for like 2-3 years in every single coord

How do you gain followers as a new jfashion/lolita tumblr? Tumblr locked me out of my old account so I'm trying to start over, but I have no clue how to begin from scratch. I'm not looking for efame, I just want a few people to like my posts occasionally.

>>9028358
tag a lot and with the right tags
I can't tell you the right tags since I'm not so familiar with tumblr's community but avoid just 'lolita'
also it might help if you start or find a cgl tumblrs thread here and post your tumblr on there

So why exactly did Fanny Rosie move to Japan? It seems like its because of a guy which is so unexpected for her?

>>9025390
so I just checked how far I am in MLT's waiting list and I've definitely moved back three places from when I last checked, what the fuck? that's very much not cool. does she offer rush orders for more money now or what? if anything, she should prioritise small orders over big ones and I'm only getting two things from her

>>9028388
her prices seem to have hiked a lot too, what the fuck. she should at least announce that openly and not make people find it out as a surprise.

>>9028376
Did you put her on some kind of pedestal?
I feel like most lolitas want to move to Japan.

>>9028268
Probably because you keep saying things like pig-headed.
I know you're talking about being stubborn but other people might not get your phrasing.
Now shut up you fucking swine.

>>9028475
Not that anon, but that's a very well known phrase and Google exists.

>>9028490
What the hell is this?

>>9028477
Just another anon that only knows what Google knows

>>9028491
It's cute aside from the sticker, what's your problem?

>>9028500
Are you stupid? I was saying that if someone didn't know a word/phrase that Google can clear up what it means. Especially for those who are ESL.

>>9028501
Misfire? Was this supposed to go in the CoF thread?

What do you gulls think the chances are that Eternal Carnival Peplum will sell out in the next ~30 days? I really like the dress but I'd like to try it on and I'm going to be in SF in a month. Which colors are the most popular?

>>9028673
Lurk more.

>>9028268
You're making up all sorts of shit about how you think anon is going to be this horrible insufferable know-it-all, all from a single post. It really seems like you're projecting.

Personally I'd rather see girls show up to lolita meets in put-together ETC with a petti than in tacky BL shit, but that's just like my opinion man.

>>9028673
Definitely ignore anything cgl says about it. Look up what people on lolita updates, facebook, and tumblr think about it. Try to keep in mind what the Japanese and Chinese lolitas like too. Also even if a lot of people say they hate it they could easily change their mind once more info comes out and there could be just as many people or more who love it.

>>9028191
To join the chorus a little late, yes, that should be fine if you coordinate it in a "lolita way"-blouse, legwear, headwear, and a light petticoat. Anyone saying otherwise is being a dumbfuck. Also, like you said, if your comm is that fucking nitpicky about it, do you really want to be involved in that comm?

>>9028513
Not that anon you were replying to, but the connotation of pigheaded is stronger and worse than stubborn. That's what they meant by phrasing. Shithead.

>>9028843
You need to learn to reading comprehension. It's ironic you're calling other people stupid.

>>9028843
Did you reply to the wrong post or?

>>9027504
Her dreads did look like turd worms though, white people dreads do.

>>9028874
When anon wrote
>Just another anon that only knows what Google knows
they're saying you can't just Google connotation of words. Using pigheaded made anon sound like a douche because the connotation was stronger and ruder than the word stubborn, though that's what they meant. Not going to continue the shitposting if you don't understand.

Anyway,
>>9028673
whether or not it sells out depends on the colorway you're aiming for. It's been awhile since the release so I'd say no? But if it'll break your heart to miss it, I wouldn't risk it. You'll be able to find it secondhand eventually though.

Does anyone know what wig this is?

>>9028946
You can google phrases if you put them in parenthesis. You can also exclude words and phrases if you put a minus symbol in front of it. Like -nymphet for example. I hope this helps any other anons who didn't know this too.

>>9028358
How did you start in the first place?

>>9028950
It's Dreamholic's Dolly Cat wig worn without the twin tail clips.

>>9028964
Thanks, I knew I should have got dolly cat. My Boleyn wig came and it's a mess. Melva needs to step it up

>>9028376
She carefully cultivates her online presence- brief captions to her images, only really mentioning her "elegant" hobbies, very rarely posts photos of herself with other people (so unsure of her relationships) etc. It's impossible to know what she's actually like. You have to be at least a little bit trash to have such a great lolita wardrobe and fulfill the dream of having a qt Japanese boyfriend and moving to glorious Nippon.

>>9028972
awh god damnit. I wanted to get Dolly Cat but there was no listing so I got Boleyn.

>>9028959
And if remembering the symbols is a pain or you want to get even more specific, hit advanced search.

>>9028961
It was years ago, and my blog used to be about anime/vidya with the occasional jfashion post thrown in. I know how to get followers there but it's a different part of tumblr.

Has anyone ever ordered from Li-Paro?
I desperately need that axolotl print that's coming out soon, but I've never heard of the brand before.
What's the quality like?
The shop is through store envy so I assume they ship to the US, right?

So how about the shit that just went down in RC: Uncensored

>>9029208
Caps?

Does Q-pot have fakes/counterfeits? I know some of their sailor moon pieces do, but what about their other jewelry?

>>9029241
What I don't understand is...why didn't she just hand wash it herself? I don't know what her mother is really like and won't pretend to, but if she hand washed her dresses in front of her mom, then her mom probably wouldn't have messed with them.
Her mom probably thinks, 'My daughter isn't washing her clothes, which is gross' and, yeah, she should have listened to the kid when she talked about care instructions but if the girl is old enough to buy lolita she's old enough to wash her own fucking clothes.

>>9029191
I do have a few items from Li-Paro and the quality is stunning. She is a professional seamstress and that really shows.
I can't tell you about shipping though as I bought her stuff at conventions.

>>9029241

Cool story ahead, but my mom was the type who thought it would be... all right to take drastic actions with my weeb shit because it was affecting my grades back in high school. Let me tell you, those actions did not involve washing. It involved throwing out all the weeb shit that I loved and treasured.

I think her mom was trying in a very, very misguided attempt to help that girl with her clothing. I have a hard time believing the nature was of ill intent because I have experienced that sort of nature of ill intent with secondary love before. It doesn't work like "lol I'm going to ruin my daughter's clothes by taking the extra work and time to wash it."

>>9029250
>>9029260
In another reply, she did say her mom ripped up floorboards because she thought her daughter was keeping drugs hidden there. Mom does sound pretty unstable.

We could say she probably didn't mean to ruin the dress (could've done worse things) but she obviously disregarded what her daughter said, and mom or not that's just stupid. Too many horror stories because parents refuse to believe you when you tell them how expensive/precious/delicate your dresses are.

>>9029260
Hey my mom would do this too! Take gifts I was given and more and throw them all away if I did "bad" (I never failed a class) in school or I just pissed her off somehow claiming that all the weeb shit I had was "Inappropriate"

The best part was she would do this and then later would buy me things from the "inappropriate" series I liked and act like nothing ever happened.

>>9028972
If you don't mind me asking, what was wrong with the wig?

>>9029241
Have you thought of censoring people's names before posting? Don't put my name up there.

>>9029299
Yeah this isn't the farm. Isn't it a rule here that names must be censored?

>>9029317
It is a rule and anon is a cunt for breaking it.

>>9029274

Huh, well, she does sound very unstable. In that context then, maybe washing her clothes isn't as good intentioned as I thought it was.

>>9029284

Well, in the entire context of things, I was set pretty high standards by my parents from the start so if I got a B I might as well be failing remedial maths.

In any case, things got better when I got into college. She was really wary when I got into lolita and she would have discussions how 'dressing up' wasn't very professional, but she chilled out once I got a boyfriend. It's all chill now, and I live in a different state anyways.

>>9029332
Im glad she got more chill :) Mine did not, she became more and more unchill until she ran away after cheating lol Funny enough one of the only things we ever have been buddies about is alternative fashion like lolita.

I feel you on one thing though, me and my mom have gotten along so much better ever since we stopped living together.

I just got a Q-pot macaron necklace in the mail the other day and it was brand-new, never before used... and I put it on for a little bit today and as I was just walking around outside the top half on the macaron just broke off of the frosting! Has this ever happened to anybody before? It makes me feel really disappointed, this is my first Q-pot purchase and I was expecting it to have much better quality. Is it possible that it could have broken because of the heat outside? Also, does anybody know what glue would work best to put a Q-pot macaron back together?

>>9026363
I have this pen, it's really difficult to write with

>>9029288
Basically the colour was so off from what it was meant to be. It was a light grey (literally looks like faded brown dye on grey old lady hair, FYI)
The bangs are all fucked up, they won't look normal no matter how much I brush and I'm cared to use heat on it yet until I've got it sorted out. The waves aren't waves, but are tangled curls, kind of like someone started curling it then gave up and tried to brush it out. the stock photo obviously has some gratuitous editing, which is a given, but this looks like a whole different wig altogether. The other wigs I got from her are great and are honestly worth the price, but this one just wasn't right.

>>9028991
I hope yours turns out better. I was so close to going for dolly cat but the stock photo for Boleyn looked better. Guess that fucked me up well and good.

>>9028988
She basically had no friends in Canada as far as I could tell, she posted once about how people thought she had this great lolita life but really she was lonely or some shit and only really had her family and cat.

>>9028281
>>9028297
I used to think this and then I tried making a blouse after making a jsk. I'd much rather make a jsk, even with all the detailing, because lolita dress patterns are really damn simple and blouses are fiddly and take just as long to make.

>>9029578
I was always under the impression that she was friends with a couple of the classic lolitas in the Montreal comm, but maybe those were just obligatory meetup photos?

>>9025699
Tbh, the strip of lace on the sleeves bug me too. Everything else is fine.

>t. Classic lolita

>>9028513
>Are you stupid?
No, but you are. I'm usually here mocking people for relying so heavily on google for all their knowledge needs. It's like people don't even think for themselves anymore and what's the point of having a discussion/image board if every question is going to get the same dull responses.
And then everyone here wonders why people won't "lurk moar" or "durrr why don't you use google you're on a computer duhh"

I've always come to the conclusion that people here don't have answers to questions and instead lean on their crutch that is a search engine. Instead of you know, coming up with stuff to type out cause lord knows if you type more than a sentence you are either "salty" or you're "annoying" for being able to type more than anyone else does.

>>9028684
Is it 2007 in here or something? Why do I keep seeing this phrase so often still.

Can you guys get with it already?

>>9029591
Did she do that thing recently where girls dressed her up in sweet? Was that just for blogging?

>>9029274
Yeah, I think it's the classic case of a parent not listening to their child when they say something's precious / delicate and thinking they know better. My mom was very flippant with my clothing and even though I washed and took care of it all myself, if I even turned my back for a minute she'd be there "helping out."
Thankfully it never went too far because I eventually snapped when I one day went to pull my organza petticoat out of the drier (I was air fluffing it) and found it hanging in direct sunlight with peanut butter in between pretty much every layer... turns out my mom had been handling my laundry while eating some peanut butter toast at the same time.

>>9029255
Thanks anon, I feel better spending brand level prices knowing the quality is worth it

>>9029641
Lurk more.

>>9030138
>I don't know how to say anything else so I spout outdated memes

>>9025390
I do think a lot of the 'melty' things look a bit unsavory. But then I don't like melty or drippy things in general so I guess I just don't get the appeal.

>>9030362
they're really popular for a reason, anon. you are probably just too autistic to get it.

>>9025435
The fancier ones would look really nice as skirts providing the top/single layer is not too see-through or you wore an underskirt under your underskirt. :^)

>>9030364
They are undeniably popular in lolita but I don't imagine they'd be as popular on western street clothes. I don't think melty chocolate or pastel melty prints on yoga pants will get stylish any time soon.
Autocorrect, 'yoga panda' is not a thing, proofreading is good.

>>9029451
Oh dang. That's to bad, and it was such a cute wig in the photos.

>>9030362
I don't like it either. I do like food and chocolate prints but if part of it looks like it's melting, that ruins the whole thing for me.

>>9030364
>if you don't like what I like you must be autistic!
Are you okay, meme-chan?

I thought itwas a little sad that all of he photos were taken by her mother, I mean it's good that her family supports her hobbies but she doesn't seem to get out much aside from family dos.
I also thought the pic with her sister was adorable but both their expressions seemed forced so maybe they dont get on as well as it looks.

>>9028491

Okay so it just me or is the second hand market not moving as fast as it used to? I feel like all my sales are stagnant and I've lowered NWT brand items WAY below market price.

>>9025390
>tfw a cummy cross print is only a matter of time

>>9030886
Isn't there already a print called Melty Cross something? Or have my mind given up on AP print names?

>>9028946
Except you can google the connotative meanings of words. OP might have used the word inappropriately, but google is a honestly most people's best resource.

>>9030897
There's Milky Cross but it doesn't look milky by any means so it probably doesn't count.

>>9030875
Maybe it's just going in waves now.

>>9030465
No I got it from Mbok but the seller said it was new. It still has its original packaging.

Does Q-Pot take a long time to ship or something? I ordered something for the first time earlier last week and it still says shipping in process...

So I have a bit of an issue. I asked a seller about 3 months ago if she'd negotiate on the price of an item that remained unsold since last year. She declined my offer so I thanked her for her time and left it at that. She messaged me after when she lowered the price (not to what I offered), and I declined. Now she's messaged me saying she's been holding the item and is going to report me for time wasting.

>never asked for a hold
> hold only appeared when I said I would 'hold off'

Should I ignore her or contact LM mods myself?

>>9031151
Just ignore her. You never asked for a hold it sounds like. So I wouldn't even worry about it.

>>9031151
Maybe contact the mods before she does, just in case.

>>9031151
Contact the mods just in case, since they're actually active again.

Tea-length skirt with ankle socks: flattering or no? I'm leaning towards no (especially since my legs are a bit stumpy to begin with) but the ankle socks match the skirt better than any other legwear I've found so far.

>>9031268
Depends on your body. It can look super cute on someone with small calves

>>9031151
If you never placed a bid or purchased it through Lacemarket why are you worried? She can't leave you feedback.

>>9030875
honestly, it could keep doing this in waves through the summer and ILD most likely. the same thing with sales slowing to a stop for months happened to me last year when it didn't happen at all in 2014, where sales were steady and quick all through that entire year. and i list everything at the lowest possible prices.

>>9031151

Does anyone know where I could get cute white tights (maybe with polka dots or something, but plain if necessary) by Friday? If you have recommendations for brick and mortar stores that would probably be best since I'm in a serious time crunch.

>>9031452
For just tights I'm sure could find some on amazon with next day delivery? I bought white one from forever 21 before though and they're really nice

>>9031463
I've been looking on Amazon but it's been hard to find the right kind, a lot of them are weird or have bad reviews. I'll try F21! Maybe H&M would have some too.

Obviously never bought off other brands when they release shit on time, esp baby when end of May = mid May

Eat more maccas lardface

>>9032007
It's not my fault I rarely buy from baby, you know with them producing shittily constructed lace monsters all the time there isn't much to buy from them.

Dreamholic just announced they restocked Dolly Cat.

So when will AP release Diner Doll and will this be a bloodbath?

>>9031268
That's my go-to look for my daily wear but I'm tall with slender ankles. I don't think it looks as bad on other people as some say. Of course more ruffly things will be less slimming.

Is it my imagination or second hand sales are very slow lately?

>>9032264
It's like we always have one stupid question asked repeatedly. Earlier it was "what petti should I get" and now it's people asking about slow sales. You're all probably just selling overpriced shit nobody wants.

>>9031452

And lolibrary is down

>>9032019
H-Hey now, I bought two dresses and 2 blouses from Baby and they were both very well constructed.

>>9032264
It would be fun to see LM's analytics over a 30 day period. Examples would include of how many items were sold, how much money was exchanged, the most expensive item that sold, what item sold the most, the most popular brand sold, etc. There would be a lot of data to sift through, but it would be vital to find out in order to sell ad space or get better servers/cloud servers.

>>9032019
All my baby items are pretty good, especially the blouses. Maybe you've been unlucky.

>>9032542
literally anything baby with boning is shit. no exceptions.

>>9032543
Can't argue there.

>>9032432

>implying the LM mods will do anything like that

Ha.

>>9032543

I owned one of the boned dresses.

It actually didn't fall apart on me, poke me, or do anything strange at all. I wore it a few times and then got bored, dress was still in near-new condition when I sold it. Boning still intact in their casing and doing no poking at all.

I still don't know if I just got lucky and got one of the good ones, or if that the boning issues are because people actually think the dress will behave like a real corset and stress the dress trying to stuff their fat or cinch their waist in? idk.

>>9032567
My experience with Baby's boned dresses has been similar to your. I think people do try and stretch their fat into it and it snaps and are surprised it's not some thick corset. As long as you're not doing anything unusual with it, I've never had any issues with mine.

Has anyone seen what their boning material is made of, though?

>>9032567
I have a boned dress that I'm slightly under the unstretched shirred measurements for, and the it warped even though I wore the lacing pretty loosely. Now I have to tighten it a bit more or else the bottom of the bodice juts out weirdly.

>>9032590
>doesn't know boning shouldn't just be glued to the dress

Well, you clearly don't know anything about quality.

>>9032567
The boning issues are usually just a result of wear and tear. Even if you're under the measurements, you move and bend while you're wearing the dress. Wear it long enough or often enough, and the movement/friction causes the ends of the boning to split apart and poke through the weave of the fabric.

When using plastic boning, you're meant to heat-fuse the ends to help prevent that, or (ideally) use caps that prevent the boning from splitting. Baby does neither of these and just puts the raw boning into the channels without reinforcement.

TL;DR: it's just a thing that happens with plastic boning because of how it's made. It sucks, but is pretty much inevitable and the reason I no longer buy Baby's plastic-boned pieces.

>>9032609
this is a good response to the plastic boning issue.

i'm well under baby's max measurements and the plastic boning has always warped and poked out for me. it's not an issue if i'm standing and not moving too much, but if i sit in a long car ride or move around a lot, the boning pokes right through the fabric no matter.

these days i just remove it all together and avoid those type of dresses as much as possible.

>>9025789
It's beautiful. I'm not fan of another cuts but this works very well. It's balanced and simple cut makes the print stand out.

>>9028191 I think you can wear it lolita way. In my personal opinion, it's just about coording skills. If you can rock it, do it.

>>9032609
Hey, I learned something today. Now I know not to buy lolita dresses with boning.

>>9032742
You can buy it, just have alterations done so that it ages gracefully.

>>9029451
I bought the Scarlett wig from her and it ended up being way darker in person. It also took her over a month to ship it, and she told me the discount for buying two wigs applied at checkout even though it said on the wig page that it was refunded after paying. I've also only had it since January, and have taken care of it better than my other wigs, which are a couple years old, and it feels awful. It tangles before I can even wear it and the fibers now feel like straw, even after soaking it in fabric softener. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with a bad experience.

>>9029451
>>9032795
i've had the same problems... the color and styling were so completely different from their stock pictures, it's ridiculous.

their order processing was pretty bad too, they were about a month and a half late with my order after repeatedly telling me that my wig was shipped. apparently they had misplaced my order and randomly sent it out while i was on vacation.

i wouldn't be so angry if the product was actually decent. but i had the same styling issues as anon mentioned, the curls were totally warped and the fibers were very straw like. sometimes it shocks me how they stay in business considering how overpriced and shitty they are,

>>9032742
Other brands are better about it. Pieces I've owned: Atelier Pierrot (JSKs), Sheglit (corsets, vest), Atelier Boz (corset skirt), Innocent World (bustier, cincher, corset skirt), Metamorphose (bustiers, corset skirt) and Excentrique (bustiers). I don't have pieces on hand to check for caps on the boning because I'm not at home, but they must at least fuse the boning tips, or reinforce the channels, because I've never had boning come through on any of their pieces (as compared to three AatP/Baby pieces with boning having splits and mild fabric punctures).

Also, the issues with boning I've had on AatP and Baby pieces were a skirt and two JSKs. Bustiers have been fine (I have five), because the channels don't butt up against a skirt seam. The fabric is reinforced by the waist closure somehow, or maybe they're more careful installing the boning on those pieces.

Is uh....anyone going to Paradiso? If anyone knows an expected turnout thatd be great. Gonna be vending there and would like to be prepared.

>>9032914
Hahahahaha

Is there any type of market out there for handmade wrist cuffs? I'm thinking of making a bunch but I don't want to waste my burando money if they won't sell.

>>9032870
The only AP piece I've owned came to me secondhand and the boning was destroyed. I still don't know whether to remove the boning and just try to wear it without or pay a seamstress ridiculous money to try to repair it.

>>9032984
Where refund at ;_;

>>9033007
Sadly, I'm not super familiar with AP. But. Just in general, it depends on the piece. Do you have any photos of the damage done?

Several BtSSB and AatP dresses can have the boning taken out without having to be replaced, and without significantly damaging the fit. In some cases (eg: Masquerade Theater) it actually improves fit/boob loaf when the boning is gone.

>>9032432
I wonder if FB sales could be analyzed similarly
By looking at the comments, sales don't seem to go well

>>9032992
I'm always looking for some nice ones, but a lot of the handmade ones I've seen are either too expensive or made with shitty lace.

>>9033014

Every reply I got was an offer to trade some shitty damaged dress that was worth half of what mine were (MM, VM, IW). Gdi

I'm looking to list some of my stuff secondhand, but I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding on the price for one item. It's pic related, but the previous owner had it altered to be a skirt. How much should I decrease the price in the case of something like this? Since this also didn't come in a skirt cut, I'm struggling a bit.

Does anybody have an idea of how much this OP would go for? AP's Moonlit Castle OP in Lavender. Beautiful dress, but I'm too busty for it. No damages, slightly used (only tried on by me but I am the second owner), no tags.

>>9033441
Ugh I love the neckline of this dress why would someone chop it into a skirt.
Anyway I think this print goes for 110~120 ish so I would price it under that.

>>9033455
Oops, sorry for not seeing the price check thread. My bad.

>>9033513
Woops, I'm Patisserie-chan, I probably should have posted there too, huh?
>>9033511
My thoughts exactly. I wasn't aware of the dress beforehand, so when I saw it listed on mbok I just assumed it was a skirt cut and loved the print. When I looked it up I was pretty bummed out to realize I loved the JSK so much more.
Thank you for the price estimate! I'll take myself over to the proper thread now.

>>9033511
>>9033586
Maybe the original owner had boobs?

>>9033317
How much would you think a nice set is worth? I was going to go for $18, but depends on material cost.
And what would you describe as "shitty lace"? I'll be using a combination of different types, all sourced online most likely as the selection in stores where I live is awful.

>Hidden crosses

kek.

>>9033441
I would do 55-60, I had trouble selling a really gorgeous meta printed skirt at that price and mine fit a big range of sizes. You can get almost perfect condition IW skirts for 70-80

>>9033615
Honestly if you have boobs you probably shouldn't be wearing IW, save for pieces will full back shirring.

>>9033647
This would be a lot better if the border print was like half as tall.

>>9033657
But if they did that you wouldn't be able to see the shoe horned crosses as easily.

>>9033647
I would've liked this as a skirt, the navy colourway looks really pretty.

>>9033651
Having boobs makes my love of classic lolita so fucking hard man, MM, VM, and IW dont really cater to having any amount of boobs.

Whats a classic loltia to do?

>>9033665
>>9033649
I don't see any crosses. Are you talking about the Fleur-de-lis?

>>9033673
there are crosses on the leftmost cake and on top of the crowns on the wallpaper. are you blind?

>>9033673
I'm not sure that I'm seeing it either. Maybe they mean the decorations on the leftmost top cake? Hardly crosses, really. The quality of the picture makes it hard to tell how cross-y they are, though.

>>9033683
>literally cross shaped
>hardly crosses

>>9033681
The top of the crowns still look like fleur-de-lis, and I guess you could see the cake decorations as crosses but they don't really have the same shape as other AP crosses.

>>9033686
I don't know what to tell you? Not everything that shape is a crucifix.

But given APs track record I understand where you're coming from.

>>9033692
How? Typically crowns like this have a cross placed on top.

>>9033694
But there are crosses on the print. It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

>>9033701
The two sides are curved at the ends. Just compare it to the other fleur-de-lis featured on the dress. Like the other anon said, given what AP has been putting out lately I can see where you're coming from but I feel like this is a stretch.

>>9033672
Do what I do and invest in a good binder, boleros, and fully backshirred IW

>>9033722
I'm comparing it and it looks different. Plus you know, the fact that it is far far more common for crosses to be placed on top of crowns. But you go ahead and be an AP rimjob slut apologist. I'm sure once they fart out Melty Holy Cross Princess you'll lick that up too.

Are you serious..? AP putting a generic looking crown on a dress is not shoehorning a cross.

>>9033733
You're right. AP put a generic crown on a dress just so they could shoehorn crosses into another print just to ruffle your petti.

>>9033739
I was trying to make a joke when anons swooped in to try and defend AP about it not being a cross when it is literally a cross so I provided images showing that it is a cross.

>>9033742
>being this autistic

>>9033755
I'm pretty sure the people bawing that it can't possibly be a cross are the autists

>>9033760
You're the one who made three different screen caps to prove to us wrong, but okay.

Baby did Marie Antoinette better this year.

Not sure if I like this or not. Which is odd because I normally go crazy for Marie Antoinette shit.

Hope I don't regret not buying this later.

>>9033765
>it actually takes effort to press a button

Why is it that brands never seem to have shoes in stock? Ugh, I just want some dang shoes, baby.

>>9033009
I'm pretty sure they meant either aatp or (more likely) atepie, I'm also not very familiar with AP but I quite doubt they use boning a lot if ever

>>9033765
dude if you use a good program a screencap takes more time to upload than to actually capture, calm down and let anon waste her time however she wants

>>9034115

nayrt, one of the Etoile Twins jsks has boning in them. It's a fairly recent print, so makes sense for someone to have received it recently.
