>Not saying which because I don't want more people looking for them
then why would I say what I'm looking for??

>>10303772
hmmm salty yet

>>10303675
Uh, no, not really. The average person, at least in western society, has no idea how much lolita costs, so your argument makes no sense.

>>10303779
wow so creative.

>>10303772
>doesn't know what concrit is
Found the poorfag roleplayer. We can stop answering now.

>>10300660
No, it's pretty fucking awful.

>>10303786
I know "concrit" is a phrase that is often used here and places like CoF but anon bastardized it into "concriticizing" - you missed the point of my original comment. I was implying that anon just makes shit up so they can shit talk. And of course predictable gulls came to that anon's defense. Your hobby is all about shitting on others. Hence the seagull nickname you garnered for yourselves.

>>10303790
Concrit is just a shortened version of concriticizing you absolute fucking sperg

>>10303675
Speak for yourself, I *want* people to know I'm now confident enough to express my feminine side after being a tomboy for so long, that opinions of strangers mean shit all to me, and I'm sick of being treated like a piece of meat.
Whether I achieve that with $30 Bodyline, $300 brand or handmade is completely irrelevant and depends solely on what I think looks cute. If you're treating it as a frilly pissing contest for the most brand you're doing it wrong.

>>10303797
Ugh, no it isn't you fucking dunce. con-crit is short for CONstructive CRIticism, I have never seen anyone in either lolita, art communities or anywhere else call it 'concriticizing'. I suppose you think concrit is an excuse to nickpick and shit on people too, you're what's wrong with this board honestly.

>>10303797
Retard

>>10303790
You probably never wore a coord and asked for critique. Bet you're one of those crying about the COF thread having to die whilst being posted at the Ita thread

>>10303797
>concriticizing
what the even fuck are you... what???
As someone who's been in the digital art community for 15 years... no. Just no

>>10303797
This can't be fucking real.

>>10303813
>you probably never wore a coord and asked for critique
how the fuck would you know anon? Let's be real. You're just mad you got called out fucking HARD for thinking "concriticizing" is a word.
You're really fucking bad at trolling. Please stop while you're ahead. Some of us here actually know what we're talking about when it comes to the fashion.

For those interested, Antique Beast has started shipping out orders from the last batch.

And buyee os offering free Intl. Shipping up to midnight.

>>10303884
And anon, stop derailling the thread. This discussion is futile and you're falling hard for their bait.

Wow all this samefagging

>>10303903

im ready to get one of these bad boys

>>10303625
Don’t most lolitas at this point have a mix of Japanese and Taobao dresses?

>>10303917
Don’t stare at retarded people, honey, they can’t help it.

Has anyone found selling on LM harder than before? I listed several dresses with starting bid and BIN prices below what they're worth a few days ago and haven't gotten any bites at all.

>>10303979
Kek'd

>>10303981
It's just before Christmas, people are spending all their money on gifts and stuff. December is always a slow month in my experience.

Does AP USA let people try on dresses? I got a dress on sale and it showed up with the shirring very loose, you can tighten it with corset lacing but the shirring definitely isn't nice and tight like I expect. I haven't bought from AP at all in a couple years so idk maybe AP is just shitty in general

>>10303986
AP USA abides by the same all sales are final sales rule that Japanese AP stores follow, but if it's a legitimate defect, you should contact them anyways. AP's quality has gone down (to say the least) over the years though.

>>10303988
Thanks! I genuinely can't tell since it isn't completely dead like when you get damaged shirring secondhand so I think I'll just let it go and be cautious buying from AP USA in the future.

>>10303986
Yeah I’ve been there and they let you try them on, the same ones that are for sale online

>>10303967
Not in my comm. they’re all either brand whores or taobao-chans
Except of course everyone’s got taobao blouses and shoes these days

>>10303947
Wow those are adorable. I'm supposed to be buying for other people, not myself.

>>10304053
That's disappointing but makes sense, probably not enough volume of sales to have separate stock for try on and purchase

>>10303984
And what money they do have for lolita is often going towards lucky packs or saving up for brand store sales. I usually wait until January in the hopes that some buyers will have Christmas cash they want to spend, but even that can be slow because of people getting their holiday credit card bills.

>>10304055
I used to own some taobao, but god isit awful quality. The shoes can be excused because brand quality is hardly any better but there's really 0 reason not to get brand blouses. They're often cheap secondhand and they're so much more pleasant to wear.

>>10303947
Shit these would be so cute with Sugar Dream Dome

>>10304134
nice eye, these definetly will be!

>>10304055
In my comm even the brandwhores (myself included) usually own at least one Taobao piece, usually Dear Celine or Krad Lanrete, and the Taobao-chans generally manage to scrounge up enough for at least one second hand brand piece from LM or a local swap meet. The only person I can think of in my comm who doesn’t own any Taobao main pieces is a super dedicated old schooler.

>>10304082
Same here actually. I kept some simpler main pieces from Dear Celine because they’re pretty nice for the price but sold every blouse I ever got from any Taobao brand because they were all so plasticky with cheap looking detailing.

>>10303967
Nah, not really.

Most girls I know irl has almost entirely brand main pieces. There's a couple girls in my comm that wear entirely taobao or western indie brands, because they're too fat for brand.

But I don't know anyone who really owns a mix. The quality difference is often so stark irl that I think girls who have seen it are turned off buying taobao. Our comms fattychans in general have the "nicer" quality of taobao brands, but even then.... One of them chopped up a Krad Lanrete dress she got at release to make accessories out of, because in person it looked like it was printed on cheap halloween costume material.

>>10304142
The colors are so dreamy but I'm so sick of high waisted prints. At last release a skirt version if you're going to only sell sack dresses!

This is so petty, but I always get annoyed when I win an auction and it takes a day or more for the seller to get back to me.

BITCH TAKE MY MONEY!

>>10304234
Stop it, no. You can never tell if they have some respectable reason for that.

>>10304234
I feel for you but it is unreasonable to be upset if they don’t respond right away. Sometimes my auctions end late at night when I’m out, asleep, or otherwise not actively checking my email. People who take days and days to respond are annoying though.

>>10304142
Too bad shiny ribbons around the waist remind me of something I would have worn for a middle school music program.

>>10304236
>>10304237
nta but they did say:
>This is so petty

>>10304236
>>10304237
ayrt

I know, like I said it's petty. I'd never leave bad feedback or anything over it. I just get impatient, waiting for the auction to end then waiting for shipping. Having to wait for the seller is just icing on the cake.

>>10304232
Sorry about your giant boobs, but some of us like high waisted dresses.

>>10304248
I usually get back to buyer within a day, that said this is finals week for a lot of people so it’s possible that’s what’s causing the delay.

>>10304248
This just sounds like you’re new to lolita and therefore impatient to get stuff in. God help you if you ever use a SS

>>10304249
Nayrt Fair enough, but there are zero natural-waisted dresses. Only high waisted dresses. Even the ones that in comparison might seem like a normal waist are not really, they’re only marginally better because they hit 2 inches below my tits instead of actually directly below my tits. But I get that everybody has a different body, it would just be nice to see more of a variation in the cuts they offer, like they used to

>>10304290

I miss when brands released more full shirring JSKs and OPs. It allowed for more flexible sizing and the texture then bunched fabric adds to the bodice is often quite cute. Shoulders especially make stuff hard when other measurements are normal and shirring allows the shoulder area to stretch as well.

do a lot of lolitas purchase their dresses with debt?
