Help me create an inspiration folder for kuro and "spooky sweet", in other words coords that could be mistaken for goth for the inexperienced eye, but are actually sweet:
>>9495844
after closer inspection of the image i posted, i'm not sure if it's gothic or not... i guess i'm really out of ressources on that subject, and in dire need of help
(sage for double post)
>>9495848
i would say def gothic
perhaps the most iconic example
I have a lot of non-gothic kuro lolita in folder, I can dig some up.
>>9495882
>>9495884
So just sweet in dark colors and black? Or are we posting bittersweet here too?

>>9495894
>>9495895
>>9495899

some bittersweet for prosperity

this is just gothic. There's really nothing sweet about the styling or makeup here

>"Kuro" and spooky sweet thread
This is also a Kuro Loli thread, anon.
Wow, thanks for all the inspi gulls!
>>9495912
That's just sweet.
>>9495853
I don't think that's ama loli
>>9495919
In what world is VR sweet? It's just the usakumya
>>9495888
Sauce on the socks/tights, please? I need those!
>>9501265
Might be wrong but they look like they might be Abilletage.
This thread is what I live for. Dump incoming

Coords inbetween sweet and gothic or that could be seen as a mix depending on your views was what I was desperately hoping creepy cute would be. I don't have much that hasn't posted though.

abilletage corset tights. Wunderwelt started carrying them too.
>>9502737
What's the name of this dress? It's stunning!
I find this thread interesting
I want to dress in very gothic coords, not just black sweet.
Sadly most of my "gothic" coords are actually sweet or kuro
damn
>>9504095
Don't worry, most of coords in this thread are kuro but also gothic. Right now if you don't have prints on your piece you are classified as kuro automatically, but look at
>>9495943
>>9495954
>>9495981
>>9495988
>>9495993
>>9495949
They are obviously gothic, no matter what. Really, majority of coords in this thread is gothic, not kuro sweet.
>>9501271
>XD le Bittersweet get out meme!!!1
This meme was old five years ago. Yeah it's stupid but everyone knows what you're referring to when you say it.
>>9502714
Do you have the source of the picture?
I have the same dress but dunno what is it.
>>9496377
Show belly button and go to bed.
>>9507315
I've only ever seen it sold on Milanoo. You can tell just by clicking on it it's below even bodyline so probably a replica of whatever you have. I just thought the overall feeling could be inspiration.
>>9504323
If you admit it's stupid why should we tolerate it? Encouraging special snowflake sub-style names where none are needed might be your style but plenty of people here remember that word got shut down on LJ in 2008 when that hideous ita "coined" it. We need bittersweet as much as we need "vampire gothic" or "floral classic".
>>9495891
Bring some here, please.
>>9495844
This is gothic, (IMO) mainly due to the shoes, headdress instead of bow etc
>>9495934
Holy fuck, her eyes look weird
>>9507371
What do you think is the purest gothic Lolita in this thread?
>>9507614
The dress, shoes and bow are sweet anon.
>>9507697
Im talking about the OP image
>>9504095
Indeed don't worry. The biggest difference between Gothic and sweet is the "attitude" and not so much the clothes. Just like black =/= gothic, bows/hearts/something cute =/= sweet/kuro. And sometimes the same coord can be used for both.
You always should take these threads with a grain of salt, because they always get fuelled by people who want almost everything to be not gothic, (not saying everything her is gothic, things like >>9502050 is definitely sweet). And even ignore vanitas elements in >>9495943 just because she doesn't have heavy makeup and looks cute.
>>9495894
Where are these shoes from, anyone know?
>>9507520
Actually it is quite nice. Not the easiest to make it work, but possible
>>9502049
This is not even lolita.
>>9502052
Man, it has crosses and it's not even kuro. Where are your eyes?
>>9508762
>>9508764
>>9508765
>>9508766
>>9508764
is it creepy of me to say i want to pinch her cheeks? they look so pinchable.
>>9510563
Derailing the thread just a tad here, but whatever happened to her? I can't seem to find her videos on YouTube anymore.
>>9510879
Aw man I didn't realize she deleted her
vids, that makes me sad. As far as I can tell she's transitioned into general weeb fashion, she still has her tumblr
>>9513023
what?? shit thats such a bummer! i used to love to rewatch her more chatty videos, one of the first lifestyle lolita channels i found. thats sad
I was like aw yiss a thread that will finally clarify for me the difference between gothic, kuro and dark sweet, but it didn't clarify anything at all :(
Most of these coords look like pure gothic, some are oldschool, only a few make sense to me as kuro sweet. The overall logic seems to be take your gothic coord, throw in something white and some black tea parties and that's it.
>>9513409
Kinda feel the same anon.
But then again, when I see surch coords, I feel like there aren't 100% definite borders between those styles.
Does this suit the desired topic? I wish the legwear matched better.
>>9510879
apparently she got sick and can't use petticoat anymore.
