Iron Gate OP can fit a whale.

>>10196377
She looks really good here. Clear and glowy skin, shiny hair. Not at all spoopy or ana chan, just thin, which is perfectly fine.

>>10196380
Wow. I never knew she was chubby. I had seen that photo before and I thought it was someone else.

>>10196388
Who wears the IG op though? People more on the chubby side, of course. This is no big secret.
That's a given, we do know which mmm op are big, you know!

>>10196210
Was probably an attempt at wry humour.
Everyone knows that the more moitie sells, the better their business will go and the more releases we will get. I'm patient, and I don't really like the SM print. I didn't like Sleeping Garden either but I was glad to see it re-released and mmm doing really well. I can hope they fix the hot glue problems and step up quality control on construction though.

Did anyone check on the tags to see if the newer releases of mmm are still actually made in Japan? JetJ is, Antique Beast is, Naoto’s things are, so are Alice Auaa. The rest of the brands I'm unsure. Need to read tags.

>>10196356
Glb snaps.

>>10196396
She's hardly chubby there, just bigger than she is now. There is a middle ground where people are in a healthy bmi you know

>>10196403
I don’t get the obsession with where things are made but no, they aren’t in Japan. I have gardenia and it says South Korea, same as Sg.

>>10196396
You’re delusional ana chan!

>>10196403
VM is still made in Japan

>>10196413
I'm not obsessed but that's a claim to both the higher prices and better quality construction and attention to detail, if the pieces are still made in Japan. It used to be a Japanese brand point of pride. And mmm made in Japan didn't usually have the quality control issues very much that people are now describing.

>>10196424
Qc issues have been in the accessories not the dresses, so it is a moot point.

We need to get past the idea that made in Japan is ideal, most brands moved in because it isn’t sustainable. Their factories are closing down all the time it’s hard to function unless you are small like AB.

>>10196396
She's like the definition of healthy average/normal here, what are you smoking

>>10196430
You did not read the QC issues in the dresses, I guess, and inaccurate size issues too? They are both a thing. Not saying that it’s because of where they are made, just that it’s currently happening more frequently than it used to so heads up.

>>10196436
It is because of where it's made.
Not the country so much as the factory and being stringent with what quality you'll accept from the manufacturing process.

>>10196443
Since it’s a newer place with different lace etc, let’s just hope things will get sorted out and settled. But meantime, it’s good to keep an eye on it. Mmm prices are too high to have lesser quality, and with limited sold out releases, bad QC can mean the difference between dress or no dress if you have to try to do a return due to a defect.

>>10196410
It's okay to admit that you're from burgerland and don't have a concept of what's normal.

>>10196452
Nayrt but also a burger and I think the second photo seems chunky. It’s obvious from the thinner photo that Risa is really very small boned and not muscular at all so people thinking the second photo looks ‘healthy’ might be mistaking the solidness of her legs for toned muscle when it’s obvious from the thinner photo that her muscles are also tiny and proportionate to her frame, not larger or especially toned or built at all. Rather the opposite.

>>10196380
I never thought I'd say this because I prefer models to be borderline skelly but her face looks so much prettier here

>>10196452
>>10196455
There is a healthy medium here, and it isn't exactly healthy to have no muscle at all.

>>10196479
>>10196479
she also looks better with a bit of a tan, helps her look healthier

>>10195865
I honestly wish this would happen and something would come out of it. I hope Lolibrary girl is doing well but I'm worried since the site hasn't been updated in quite a while.

>>10196480
God you sound like my father. Gain weight, you look too thin. Get some sun, you look too white.

>>10196455

She looks fine anon. God I hate ana chans.

>>10195705
I mean, it helped them get their HC rerelease...

>>10196330
So you're just speaking out of your ass then. Just because you saw a "chubby girl"(for asian standarts) in a streetsnap doesn't mean it's a chubby girl fashion. In the last oldschool thread was a source that showed even im 2002 they complained about metas "big" sizing.

>>10196348
>Someone posted a video of interviews with average Japanese guys
>Someone posted a video of interviews with average western guys and they said lolitas look like ugly toddlers
>that means western lolita is a fashion for ugly people and ageplayers!
Anon please. Give a real source or admit you're just wishfully thinking.

I'm tearing up, this is so great

>>10196549

Thanks anon! I love this series, I'm really looking forward to the next chapter

>>10196549
I hope every Lolita-at-Heart reads this and is encouraged to buy and wear some fucking brand. Well done anons, you should get it hosted on some of the reading sites like mangarock

>>10196549
Bless you anons!

>>10196513
I wasn't giving that as a reliable source, obviously, I was trying to remember the context and find it because there was a discussion. I know I've actually seen a couple of things about it but I'm just not remembering where. There's absolutely some context for it, no one just pulled the notion out of their ass. But since it's not really even that popular in Japan as a fashion anymore these days, laying hands on niche fashion media content from a decade ago takes some digging to turn up. I'm also not that invested in ’convincing anyone’ either, I know what I've read and seen, I could give a shit less about what others think.

Comparing the sizing in new AP pieces to gyaru brands should tell you something though if you have eyes. But I know most of you don't shop for lolita clothes in person so that may be lost on you too. *shrug*.

>>10196480
You do realize she's quite photoshopped here to give the darker skin color and more curves right?

>>10196493
No one said she didn't look fine. You can still be chubby and look fine. Obviously since she's a model.

>>10196642
Even that's changed though for gyaru brands. Japanese sizing is getting larger in general.

>>10196485
she's fine

>>10196549
Wow I'm in love with this story. I feel like it captures that lolita experience so perfectly. Chapter 1 was very hard to read in places because of low res, but the rest was good, except for when there was the outlined text.

Someone brought an umbrella to the meet to use as a parasol and I can't decide if it's cringe or not

>>10196712
Stop roleplaying.

>>10196643
>photoshopped to give her more curves

considering she’s still relatively straight shaped in all those photos, they did a bad job of it

new bread >>10196714

>>10196549
this is so good. I love her male friend. He's like me, so supportive.

It's really suspicious there is so much activity. Did more people come here because of that one video?

>>10196680

the fact that you called her 'chub' 'unhealthy' gave me really weird ana vibes anon. Just because not everything is pure fucking muscle doesn't mean she's unhealthy for a bit of fat.

>>10195705
It got shit done though

>>10197141
And you already know people messaging Moitie doesn't get anything done because you can see in the future or you work for them? I don't even care, it's both embarrassing entitled behaviour.

>>10197155
One of these things is not like the other.
I'd be surprised if you have two brain cells to smack together.

>>10197251
You're right, Moitie encourages people to contact them through social media and Mana himself has asked people to let him know what your favourite thing from Moitie is.

>>10196133
Where was this? I'd be curious to read they're thoughts...

Does anyone know when the photos from the fashion show in OP will be released?
