Fairy Kei/Yumekawaii Thread

Oh jesus I really want >>9207786
The hair is giving me Creamy Mami vibes and I love it

Someone last thread mentioned how they miss CCK but not so much the trend of people hauling everything from the shop.
I agree. I found the artist when I was a few years younger and remember telling myself I'd grab something, but never managed to before they sold out. Then I saw YT videos with chicks showing off like a million CCK items and it's like.
Ah. There you are.

>>9207926
Me too! I know anon didn't enjoy the art style so much but honestly I kind of find it refreshing
I have a thing for simple-cute art styles, I like the curvy lines and expression

>>9207931
I think another issue is that the owner pretty much dumped the western fans once she started to sell her goods in Japan.

>>9207937
Wait, really? What the hell?

From that amount of money you might as well buy the much prettier official Creamy Mami fashion collabs, like the one with Galaxxxy.

I'm always wondering what's big for fairy kei/yumekawaii in japan. Lolita gets the GLB and plenty of online Kera scans, larme is literally a trendy magazine, etc. What about fairy kei? Who's doing well, who's doing not-so-well? What trends are taking shape and which are dying out?

Why do brands seem to be emulating some kind of F21 bullshit as of late? Like with the tumblr heart banners and cartoony sparkles and shit

Kera has been featuring Yumekawaii for like over a year already, they always stalk whoever goes to Candye Syrup. The icon of Yumekawaii would be Rinahamu who also made a band named "Strawberry Syndrome" with all the popular Yumekawaii girls earlier this year.

Also you seem to confuse Yumekawaii for a fashion style which it is not, it's an aesthetic that can be applied to most styles including lolita.

Are you new to this fashion?

Anyone else kind of disappointed with the newest Listen Flavor stuff?

Frickle Wish seems to get really popular ever since they opened in summer.

>>9208118
The only thing disappointing is the catgirl drawing, the rest is just what defines their style ever since and the designer is still busy with the Suicide Squad collab.

If you mean the "Offensive Kawaii" stuff, that's been only on one Menhera-chan armwarmer so far but nothing Listen Flavor made.

The teens in Harajuku are all over it, they aren't the only brand with a collab either.

>>9208012

I'd love something more than prints in a shirt. Like a teddy bear print with three bears, one would be made of felt, one would have ribbons sewn into the shirt and one with two buttons. That's the main thing with western fairy kei brands, they don't have those extra touches.

Other ideas:
> patterned backgrounds with a main image instead of flat pastels
> detachable collar/pins w/ shirt
> Frilled sleeves, maybe dotted transparent fabric for contrast
> colorful tulle/lace accents
> colorful buttons, especially shaped ones

So stuff I would make could be:
> strawberry printed on shirt. green or white lace around collar. Felt white flower on top of center strawberry.
> colorful tulle ribbon making a heart shape along the shirt. Flowy sleeves. Comes with a heart shape pin.
> Sailor bunny print. Have sailor collar and three buttons with bunnies on them. puff sleeve with ribbon.

Basically more texture/playful stuff that's not just prints

I will consider it!! I have been thinking of that too.
My only problem with this idea is that it will make each piece more time consuming to make and I am not sure how many people would be willing to spend the amount of money it would take to create more elaborate shirts like this and from a brand that is not well established.
I will try to figure something out. Thank you for the pics for inspiration!

Listen Flavor got a special for halloween with Fancy Surprise too.

>>9210342
Oh my Goodness, is that jumper the halloween collab ?? I need it in my life NOW.

>>9210342
fuck me i need all of this rn

If anybody is interested, Milklim has 3000 and 5000 yen lucky packs on their website right now. I ordered 2 of the bigger ones through Tenshi that arrived today, and I got way more than I expected. I got a headband, a keychain, 5 tops, a dress set, a skirt, and 2 sweaters!

>>9210742
It sounds nice! I was just worried about getting duplicates if I bought more than one pack.
The headband, keychain, 5 tops, dress set, skirt, and 2 sweaters were all from 2 packs and not just one right?

>>9210761
No duplicates! The items were all from the two packs combined. Everything came in one big bag, so it looks like they just picked out an assortment of things to match the suggested number of items for the pack. A couple of the items I got didn't appear to be on their website from what I could see, so it was a nice surprise!

I'll go spread everything out and try to get a good picture now! I don't have the most floor space at the minute.

>>9210353

Listen Flavor has been selling the goods of other brands for ages, just like how they are the official store for Milklim now, they sell Fancy Surprise goods too and as halloween special you get the bag and button when purchasing their stuff from Listen Flavor.

>>9210795
Fuck. So that sweater isn't new then. Bummer, that's all I was fucking interested in.

I'm probably going to end up selling a bunch of the items, since some of Milklim's one-size items are waaaay too big an unlattering on me, but I'm really excited about the things I got. Especially the conversation heart sweater and the good night skirt!

>>9210849
Super cute!! I'm glad you didn't end up with any duplicates. I got a lot of great stuff in the lucky bag I got last time so I think I will get this one too

>>9210849
Oh I forgot to ask, where will you be selling some of them? I am interested

>>9211118
Once I update my sales album, I'll post it on the fairy kei sales group on Facebook. I've got a few midterms to get through first before I update it though.

Got my TOM Listen Flavor lucky pack, loved all of it surprisingly though only 2 things are really fairy kei-able. Didn't get any DR stuff despite TOM still having a bunch in stock, do they usually avoid putting collab stuff in things like that?

>>9213232
Could you post a picture of what you got? I am curious!

>>9213232
Has to do with license stuff for why they can't put them in.

>>9208131
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Where can I get these or where was this originally posted? Reverse image search gave me nothing.

Sorry for bad pics, purple is a sweatshirt and super comfy. I''m really happy with everything I got!

>>9214023
Oh, forgot to mention the pink jacket is something I bought separate from the lucky pack. The material is more like a tshirt, I was really surprised.

>>9214024
I've got the pink jacket in blue and yeah, the material threw me off too, but I think it came out closer to summer/spring? I would've liked it more if it had a bit more structure, given the collar

>>9209622
I'd say try to find a cheaper printing company. Some places like HTT sell printed dresses for ~$100, while other places like chibibunny can sell them for less than $40. The additional pieces can be hand done and in smaller quantities. Maybe you can sell printed shirts for like $20, then add $5 in increments for the more details added on.


>>9213991
Just take inspo from the colors/accessories used. Tone down the first coord by taking away the huge necklace and belt, no wig, and maybe just short socks and sneakers.

>>9214023

Anyone else see that huge post fairy kei tips just made? Opinions?

>>9215305
People who are dropping thst much on a sweater are just as at fault. Scalpers hsve responsibility but so does the buyer. All you have to do is not buy it at that price. I see where she's coming from but yeah. Plus I doubt it's entirely the fairy kei community doing this, both buying and selling

>>9215305
Almost got this sweater, actually. But people know how much fairies will pay for it so they always go up to a ridiculously large price. I've witnesses people extend bids and then advertise their sweaters to the fairy kei comm just bc they know it will reel em to to buy.
I've dropped about 80 on a sweater before, back when I was thirsty as fuck. But not I just wait and stay patient, I guess. For someone to post an auction / sale that isn't completely abusing the popularity of the sweater. For instance, I got a Heartworks dalmatian cardigan just a few weeks ago for 15 dollars.
I'm salty and that post she made is salty but I understand the saltiness. It's no one's fault per say, it's just annoying to deal with as a buyer, is all. And something to be bitter about. Shrug.

>>9215428
Isn't FT European? It's harder to find those sweaters here, maybe that's why people are paying so much for them.

>>9215532
>It's harder to find those sweaters here, maybe that's why people are paying so much for them.
Not true, that kind of pastel sweater can be found in european H&M pretty much every winter collection, it's much more of an US thing.

I'm very meticulous about washing my laundry.

This may call for some soaking. Pour some lukewarm water with some shampoo or soap of choice and let it soak for awhile.

If that doesn't get it out, apply nothing more strong then dawn directly to the spot, soak, and scrub. It should come out. I find shampoo works for most things though.

Strange question, but does anyone know where/how to find fabric like pic related? I look up things like "vintage baby sheets," since I often see FK sellers using various prints with pastel hearts, confetti, and 80s motifs as a backdrop. I see them in various stores that don't share stock so I know they must be a thing, ya know.

My first guess would be a lucky find at a local fabric supplier.

Otherwise, it's imported. Fabricworm, Hartsfabric, Fabric Tales, and Maigo are all suppliers with cute fabric designs. Etsy itself has suppliers as well.

Picture related is fabricworm. Parakeets, ribbons, and general cute stuff on this sample.

Was hoping there was an indie thread or something up but I guess I'll post this here. Oceaninspace shop is back open. Has some cute stuff
http://www.oceaninspace.com/

I really like the fuwa fuwa fruits shirt but its something I would have loved as a 13 year old into "decora" (I still like decora now, but the flashback of myself are absolutely cringey)
So I dont know, its kind of dissuading me from grabbing it.

>>9221031
The tunic would be really cute layered over a cutsew and tutu.

>>9221031
I remember asking where they got these made and I got a really snotty answer, so even though I like them I'm turned off by their rude response.

>>9221879
That's not rude at all. It's actually very rude to ask a company who supplies their merchandise. In the world of business, you don't just give out your manufacturers.

Competition reasons.

>>9221937
except it's not? I talk to other indie makers/shop owners ect all the time, who are usually working at a far larger scale that I am, and get pretty in depth responses. As long as you're not asking for a step by step how to I replicate exactly what you're doing, it's perfectly fine.

To me honestly as a creator I hate getting asked where I get my supplies/manufacturers/etc. I'll share this knowledge with close friends or acquaintances. But absolutely coming out of the blue being like "Where did you get x?" is very annoying. Especially since its not a one time thing, but you have tons of people asking the same shit.
/sorry for the rant but this specific issues has been bugging me a lot recently

Her snotty response is very uncalled for though, you should always be professional with your business. For me personally I'll just ignore them or try to word myself politely.

Question about LF,
Are most of their shirts on the thin kind of see-through side? I first bought two unisex tshirts which were awesome, nice thick cotton. But on my second order I got the menhera shirt plus one other in a similar oversize style. And I find them much thinner and pretty see through. I can clearly see my bra through them and with no bra I can see my nips (areola and all, and my nipples arent particularly dark in color)

So like??? What the hell do you do? wear a slip under these things or what?

>>9222295
if its a question you get often maybe put up a FAQ that says where you get stuff made, and link it when someone asks?

>>9221937
>>9221961
like >>9222208 said. It's like being snotty about using PAOM or something.

I'm absolutely in love with the feel of Hello Cavities sweaters. Where do they get their stuff manufactured ?

>>9222333
Not particularly without really looking closely, but... huh, I guess you are right.

I always wear shorts and a t-shirt bra so... I guess I never really noticed.

>>9222679
>>9222295 likely wouldn't want an FAQ since they only share the knowledge with close friends or acquaintances.

Yeah, I suppose so. I wouldn't give anyone snide responses. If it was just an outright 'I can't tell you that.' I don't really see that as 'snotty' though.

>>9222333

anons, please help

This sweater is so perfect, but I can't decide on a color...I like how the print is faded on the blue colorway, but I think white would fit more with my wardrobe...

>>9223894
You always could change the ribbons of the blue one to whatever colors the other items of your wardrobe have.

>>9223911
I was planning to wear either with a white AA skirt...so actually, the blue one would match that better, now that I think about it, since I don't have too much lavender.

to wash this, I should remove the ribbons, right? think the washing machine would fuck them up.

>>9223924
Considering they are satin, they likely would fray.

>>9223924
i would get the white, you could always carefully dye it later if you find another colour would suit your other clothing items more, considering it's probably made from a jersey cotton mix.

as for washing: a fine wash setting with little rotations shouldn't normally harm the ribbons. it if you want to be extra careful, hand washing it is always an option.

Are the Listen Flavor lucky packs from Tokyo Otaku mode any good?

I love Gundam Tanaka so much but of the two LF shirts that have been released, one has had "BREEDER" across the front and one features what most people would see as a star of David. I just want to be kawaii desu and show love for my husbando while looking relatively socially acceptable to normies, is that really so much to ask

Has anyone ordered from Idol before?

http://idol.theshop.jp/

I want to get a shirt from them but I'm not sure about the quality

>>9233753
I got one of their summer lucky packs, everything is printed on Gildan clothes so it is pretty high quality but I cold-wash them either way.

>>9233753
It's good, my friend owns one and it's a really soft, apparently it's easy to wash too.

>>9233809
>>9233753
I've never ordered from them before, but the holographic material is high temperature vinyl.

Repeated drying can eventually destroy the luster of the design and cause peeling/wrinkling. That doesn't mean the quality is bad though.

Help, I can't decide if I want this in blue or pink.

>>9238570
I like the pink one more because I love pink.

However, you can match 3 different colors with the blue one which is quite nice.

>>9238570
pink is safer but i like the contrast of yellow and blue on the other one

>>9238570
The blue and yellow one is nice because it is less common to find things that aren't pink or lavender in fairy kei that look so good.
I have the pink version and the blue version and I love both but the blue one is my favorite

>>9239956
I'm assuming this is from Claire's Japan?

You should probably call USPS or email LF at this point, something weird is going on. EMS usually doesn't take more than a week if it doesn't get held up by customs.

It's never taken longer than 3-4 days and that's including like, a Sunday. No idea what's going on...wanted the order before I went out of town Wednesday, but looks like that's not happening, sigh

I wanted to order from Idol, but I can't figure out how to pay. I tried to use a credit card but apparently only Japanese ones work. I obviously can't use the convenience store pay but that leaves the bank transfer option.

But I'm not sure how to do a bank transfer. I went to my bank today, and they said it would cost $45. I'm thinking of trying Western Union, but I'm afraid it won't work properly.

Here is the information they gave me to send the money to:

>■Name of Bank : 三井住友銀行
>■Branch name : アオイ支店
>■Type of account : 普通
>■Name of the account holder : ベイス(カ
>■Account number : [redacted] This bank account is for this purchase only.

>■Name : Enter ”3040 [my name]

I've looked through all of the archives on how to do a bank transfer and I'm still totally lost.

>>9249427
I have no clue what you do wrong but you can pay with credit cards just fine as long as the card is still valid, that's the only payment option for international orders.

I tried both a debit and credit card, but I got this message

Ok I think I finally found a site where I can do bank transfers to a business. Apparently Western Union isn't one of them. The only problem is that it needs the shop's address, and the only address listed on the website is the city and prefecture. So I'm afraid the money will get rejected.

Anyways the money is due about a week from now, but with the money transfer site having to check my identity and then it taking another couple of days on top of that, I guess it isn't possible for me to make the order on time.

I'm sick to death of seeing people on Facebook buying Milklim or Nile Perch clothes in bulk from Mercari or FRIL and then scalping people by selling them at 3x the price or more. Bitch some used tshirt is not worth $35 what are you smoking.

>>9253835
I know exactly who you're talking about lol

>>9253835
Milky Parade? They were asking $85 for a used milklim sweater, it's insane.

>>9253835
Oh God, *her.*

>>9253969
WHY DONT PEOPLE WANT TO BUY MY OVERPRICED OLD JUNK???

>>9253898
They are one of a few. More recently I've seen someone on Depop doing this, adding ¥2000 on top of every item, at least. They had a tshirt I really wanted but for quite a high price.

Once I figured out what they were doing, I searched around and found the original item on FRIL at a fraction of the price and bought it through an SS from there. Still feeling a bit smug about it.

>>9254152
This used to happen a lot in lolita fashion before there was as much advice on pricing and shopping services.

>>9254152
I've seen someone reselling stuff at reasonable prices on FB, she's pretty clear that she's a reseller though. People like MP are ridiculous though, nobody wants your overpriced worn brand.

>>9254328
How should noobies work out what sort of price we should be getting things at? It seems pretty tough to judge and I don't want to be ripped off.

>>9255419
With searching for the original store price, maybe?

>>9255419
Milklim sweatshirts are 3500 - 5000 yen retail max. Nile Perch is on the higher end, but only sought items. Anyone selling their cheaper items like sweatshirts for more than that is overpricing. I was going to make a mercari and fril guide because I'm tired of this underhanded manipulation that's going on right now. The only items that should be bought overseas is vintage sweaters, because japanese resellers buy from spank and then raise the price a little higher.

>>9255439
Anon, if you make a guide to apps then all the good deals will be snapped up... You've seen how Y!A has bidding wars between shopping services.
I can understand them raising the prices slightly since overseas shipping costs, but not by more than ¥2000 unless it's super rare. That's just unfair.

>>9255445
Which is why I decided against it. I just wish people were more apparent when it comes to reselling, it's just better business practice.

>>9255447
Especially Milky Planet, she tries the stuff on for pictures. Why would you even do that, no wonder nobody is buying.

>>9255513
Milky Parade ffs
>sage because I'm an idiot

>>9251903
Wish it had the old PPG designs.

What brands would you guys say are the best? Generally I only see Magical in terms of jewelry here and then mostly LF/Milklim fans in the west, whatever happened to other brands?

>>9255733
>whatever happened to other brands
There weren't many brands to begin with rather than remake shops like Spank! Taobao brands have become very popular in Japan in the past two years due to the low prices even with SS fees in comparison to brand (japanese resellers would be Qun.to and Sucredoll), you see To Alice and Star's Rainbow pieces quite often in streetsnaps.

Does it normally take a while for them to ship? I've ordered from Rakuten before, but the shop was a bit more responsive and quick.

Why do people tag things like this as 'yumekawaii'? It looks really normie?

>>9257620
Last time I ordered from them they shipped within two days

>>9257777
Because yumekawaii is an aesthethics and not a fashion, everything girly pastel can be counted as yumekawaii.

>>9257777
>>9257830
Plus i wouldn't say this looks really normy. It's toned down sure, but the colors and accessories make it obvious it leans towards j fash.

i bought two lucky packs off of Milklim on the same day. one of them arrived at my SS already, but the other hasn't arrived yet. Should I be worried? I guess I was lucky enough to put insurance on the latter package though.

Have you tried copying the outfit of the model? Those type of extra baggy jackets pretty much work with full pants/skirts or shorter than hem skirt/shorts. If not then they look pretty awkward.

>>9257465
They're not specifically shirts or skirts. It was a trend thing a year or two ago for brands to come out with 2 way skirt/shirts. They are intended to just be a wide band of elastic with ruffles so that they can be worn over the bust or the hips.

>>9257471
Vintage is your best bet anon. Those pants are basically pajamas so if you're not concerned about wearing pajamas in public I would suggest taobao roomwear stores to try out.

A week later, they sent me an email apologizing, it was their mistake that it mailed to the wrong place, and sent it out again.

The sweater is very cute, and the sax is so light it's barely sax and could be lavender, even. Even the print is more purple-y. I like it better than if it was more blue, so if anyone was thinking about purchasing it in sax, know that it's more pale than the stock photos of it.

How much was shipping? Did you get it off of Rakuten?

>>9267887
I am interested, please post when you get it!

>>9270857

I bought it off of Rakuten. I haven't paid for shipping yet. I'm not sure how that works.

>>9270861

I'll definitely post some pics.

I have a lot of Listen Flavor items some new and unworn from Tokyo Rebel, where should I sell them and how do I price it? Some are quite popular like the pink/lav syringe sweatshirt and collab items

Do you have this shirt out of curiosity?

>>9271544
Post here first and then maybe try fairykei sales on fb?
Id personally be interested in some older LF releases. I wont try to fight for the syringe/menhera stuff but there are still some other designs I missed out on that I'd like

Okay but in what fucking world does this look even remotely good?

Did anyone vote for the kawaii int contest? There were quite a few fairy kei styled entries.

Yeesh, not that anon but wow that sounds bad. Doesn't she have a pretty good rep too? Wow. The cigarette smell is the worst though.

>>9271584
yeesh, so close yet so far. Little things needed here, mostly silhouette and color balance. Would look way better just by having the camisole be plain and moving up the jacket (or just forgoing it) so that they have a defined waist instead of awkward lumps. There's other problems obviously but those are the easiest to drastically improve the outfit.

>>9271584
I think by Retro Doki they meant they're using a lot of retro and 6% items? It's not fairy kei though.
>>9271615
We discussed one or two up thread, but nobody dumped the others.

>>9271615
It just feels like there's so much piled on there that it doesn't even look like an outfit anymore. Just looks like somebody blindly threw darts into a wardrobe.

>>9271628
It was posted in the fairy kei/decora facebook group. As far as I can tell, it's neither of those things.

Had to fight with the website a little but just ordered the Lucky Pack + a couple of tops praise be to coupons

thanks! I don't have that particular piece, but I'm looking to offload the menhara sweater in pink/lav, kobayashi rocket sweater in white and melty heart chocolate thing in black and maybe lav

i collect their sailor collar items, this year makes me really sad because the fabric quality seems to have fallen tremendeously. i tried the coffin OP and it's really thin compared to the flappin' sailor cutsew OPs.

i compared the nightmare sailor summer dolman with the unicorn dolman (2014) and last year's nightmare dolman (2015) and it's really much thinner

anyway i buy them directly from cdjapan or tokyo rebel so i'm happy to sell the unworn at cost price or discounted based on wear. i'll join both groups, thank you

And I should note that the designer says that the upcoming release is already part of the spring/summer collection so don't expect anything suitable for cold weather.
