What the fuck are you arguing about?

>>10053390
How else do you attach flowers to a headdress?

>>10053415
sewing?

>>10053359
I saw it in _petrine's Instagram story, which is unfortunately transient

>>10053390
oh my god, noooo. i didn't see that...was it the neo gothic arch headdress? i don't want to believe it...

>>10052708
Thank god for another furfag lolita; those shit tier ears that brands release trigger me so hard

>>10053415
Sewing, or get wire ones and wire wrap them

>>10053323
Have you even read my post or are you just talking to yourself? I said nothing you stated. And no, 4chan was fucking not. That's what the retards who came here thanks to /b/ made it. But there's no point in arguing if you only ever experienced /cgl/ at its worst.

>>10053336
Yes, but those still aren't the majority aka "most if us".

>>10053231
I'm Asian, and also this is an Asian fashion so it makes sense to go by those heights instead of white ones.

>>10053459
No, the NGA headdress doesn't have any hot glue AFAIK. It was the brand new one with the cross arch lace and holy cross lace. What happened is the metal backing in pic related popped off because it was only hotglued.

It was Rosenocturnalia's story just so people know, she also mentioned her MmM phone case broke the same night.

>>10053472
>Have you even read my post or are you just talking to yourself?
You replied to me so I replied back.

>I said nothing you stated.
That's fine because I didn't quote you.

>4chan was fucking not. That's what the retards who came here thanks to /b/ made it.
Uh, that is exactly what I was talking about.

I have only experienced cgl because I came here from other boards, I'm speaking about what I observed before and after coming here. I came here because someone on ck mentioned this fucking board. Why do you keep missing this significant point or are you trying to glaze over it and act like you've been here since fucking Oct 1st 2003.
Will you fucking come off it already. The place is KNOWN for trolling. You're getting fucking trolled by people because you are so fucking gullible.

Not sure if this has been posted but I stumbled accross this. Decent video covering lolita fashion that isn't a ""documentary"" into "wAcKy lolita fAshIon!!!" made by an outsider.

Also Tempest is cute, I wish kawaii culture was more common in my country ;-;

>>10052346
I'm at around this number. I'm ashamed of it. No wardrobe post for me

>>10052116
Me. My face is aging badly no matter what I do, I'm going to look like a taller version of my my mother by the time I'm 30. I'm not sure what to do, I don't want to leave lolita but I want to style my things so they look good.

>>10052301
Don't get the diva or mooncup, do your research and get a cup made of much softer silicone. I have the same problem and I tried like 5 cups before I found a comfy one but now I'm very happy with it.

>>10053037
I want it, but... The quality looks bad

>>10053121
Oh no, I love it. Shame I don't have 60000 yen to burn

>>10053360
>>10053157
How much do you want for it and how much is brand? Genuinely

>>10053279
>>10053272
Who's writing about quality? I wanna see too

>>10053499
Wow, finally someone was nice about us? Good feels

>>10053491
I've gotten cheap ass hair flowers off ebay that have that exact same back. I'd expect better from Moite.

>>10052352
I like main pieces, but I get what you're saying. We rarely see detail shots for blouses and jewelry, and see a lot of the same main pieces over and over.

What was wrong with the moitie socks?

>>10053546
It was Rosenocturnalia's story, so I'm not sure if it's still accessible.

New IW Dress. I feel like I've seen this a million times before and fuck the violin motifs
>tfw flautist

>restock walolita dresses 9865457 times until they sit unsold
>won't restock Grimoire jsk in dark colourway
Meta why

>>10053571
iirc the blue ribbon didn't match the blue lace and the lace was trimmed much more messily compared to older lace-topped moitie socks. no major issues like >>10053491

_petrine also talked about the brand new chokers that just came out in her story and apparently one of them was fine, but for the other, the charm was sewn in such a way that it caused the lace to pucker

>>10053529
I wasn't aware I had cause to be ashamed until I went ITT, I thought people just had what they have in terms of numbers. Wasn't aware there is such a thing as too much in a fashion that is the embodiment of excess. Have been around since 2004, its quite a restrained number for nearly 15 years in the fashion. I'd like to do a post to document my changing tasted but it would be a lot of steaming, ironing & photographing. Maybe if I do a few dresses a week in the new year before it gets dark I'd have it done.I don't have anything new really. Or rare so I don't think I will post it about much.

On another note, does anyone have enchantlic enchantillys queen bunny op? it said its polyester but it feels like a sturdy faux silk unsure of how to proceed with washing. It was a last minute buy to add to my ss order. So cute but no bodice lining, ugh.

>>10051213
Don't do it.

>>10053555
Ayrt, the back doesn't necessarily make for cheap. I have a different MmM two way clip with that style of backing (but with a pin in addition to the clasp). The difference is is that it's glued down well enough that I can't get a fingernail inbetween the corsage and the backing, and it isn't supporting much weight since it's mostly tulle and a couple small roses.

Bad design choices and small errors (that would have been unacceptable in the past) are dragging the brand down imho. I'm a Moitiefag and pretty displeased about all this.

Wunderwelt Fleur ought to have a review/rating system...Has anyone who has had quality issues with Moitie lately attempted to contact them?

>>10051213
Get a PO box

>>10053576
I emailed in to request that. If more people ask, maybe they will do it

>>10053546
>>10053572
Rosenocturnalia just posted on her blog a review of the socks and headpiece. I wonder if more people complain they will do something since moitie has always been known as the top of the top quality. I hope they're just in a bit of a rut right now because they've been having problems (lace manufacturing, lack of designer and so on) and that they don't start permanently cutting corners because their impeccable construction is usually their selling point.

Collector here too. I think it’s fine to admit sometimes the line we walk is a little narrow. Helps you keep a critical eye to make sure you’re still on the collector side of the line and haven’t dropped over to being the type that forgets which dresses you own or which cupboard you stashed it in. I think any hobby can become hoarding if you lost track of things, so it’s good to realise the risk is there and watch out that you still remain on top of things and still enjoy caring for a large wardrobe.

A large, wearable collection is wonderful though. I don’t miss the days when I had to scramble buying last minute coording pieces and praying they arrive in time since I now always have a couple of coords ready to go in my stash, and even if I had to pull a last minute coord out of my wardrobe there’s enough stuff to easily put together something not totally mismatched.

I also have to say I feel relieved when I see a dress I own being posted in the DD thread. It’s not gloating, I’m just relieved I’m not fighting against other people trying to own that dress. So even if I haven’t worn it in a while I’m kind of hesitant to let it go, because I don’t want to spend my time searching for it all over again. Sorry other people, I know you love the dress too, but even if your closet is smaller doesn’t magically mean I love it less than you do. So you’ll have to find your DD elsewhere rather than talk me into selling off my wardrobe.

>>10053272
I feel like the dresses are the only thing that's still decent. I've seen bad things about the chokers, socks, blouses, and most recently the headdress and phone case

>>10053717
I bought Moitie's latest blouse and besides being huge on me it's practically perfect. Everything is sewn perfectly but maybe if they're inconsistent with their clothing items I could've just got lucky? I'm really curious to see what the new cutsew OP coming out this week is going to be like.

>>10052116
I feel this way with normie clothes as well. I am lucky i haven't really aged since i was a teen, but it sucks so much that i have an unproportional nose and acne scarring that won't go away.

I got my first dress today and it is so gorgeous but damn it's so heavy because of all the fabric. It's hot as hell where I live so maybe I'll only wear it in winter. Or I could get a fan...

>>10053749
Congrats anon! Which dress is it?

>>10053644
Only if people tell them directly. They won't see anyone complain if they just post it on their instagram. Did any of these people contact the brand directly? They take a few days to reply in English but at least you don't have to write in Japanese if you can't.

>>10053730
The one with the jabot? Could you do me a favor and check the tag and see where it’s made?

>>10053766
Yep, the green colourway. It was made in China. I remember because when I looked at the tag I was really taken aback by it considering Moitie is known for producing in Japan. I'm the kind of person who always inspects the stitching and reads the inner tags when I get new clothes and while I was surprised, the quality seemed pretty perfect so I didn't really think it was worth mentioning.

Concerned if there are some dud blouses going around though, maybe I just got lucky to get a good one from an inconsistent batch?

>>10053690
Lmao Tallulah is that you? Don't you have $300 dresses to throw on the ground and squeeze into a tiny closet?

>>10053037
Must. Resist. Temptation.

>>10053780

No idea who that is. Sounds like she's a hoarder and not collector if she's running out of space, though. I wouldn't collect this many dresses if my sister didn't move out and I now have a whole room to store racks of dresses in.

They aren't all $300 covetable dresses anyway, there's just a tiny handful that occasionally turn up in the DD thread.

>>10053037
Shit this is big.

>>10051817
I'm not a huge fan of it personally, but I can definitely see the appeal.
Like, Holy Lantern was a simple dress with crosses that were flocked, still people loved it like it's pure gold.

>>10051817
Why did you try to get it?

>>10053121
I think it's cute, but I agree. They're raising their prices despite the overall workmanship going down.
