Dream dresses don't have to be expensive, it depends on what they are since some pieces and brands are more coveted and difficult to find than others. Either way, the excitement you often see in dream dress threads is genuine, finding and buying a dress you dreamed about for a long time is pretty satisfying.

Le not at all men meme.

In all honesty though, lots of guys want to do more than just fuck. Might try looking into getting more normie friends funnily enough. As you're (hopefully) not underage normies are easily getting past the "I want to fuck everything" stage and growing into a mature well-rounded adult.

Contrary to a lot of nerds who still haven't had a shag and are dying to explore that world.

>>9406398
>normies don't want to have sex all the time
Anon, I...

>>9406400
What kind of weird normies do you hang out with that all they care about the human interaction with the other sex is sex?
Are you 16?

And I'm not saying they don't want a shag, I'm saying it's not about. They might scream it is like that to look cool to their bros, but it usually isn't.

>>9406287
They might be able to send it to your home address. Please keep us updated. If things get really bad maybe a Kansai lolita can pick it up and ship it out to you.

You should join our Discord and share your your feels there too. https://discord.gg/aYag3Jd

My Korean language professor found out I wore lolita and insisted I wear it to their Korean heritage night. I didn't want to because 1) it's a Korean heritage night and 2) I don't want to make a spectacle of myself. I have to volunteer for the event and she is repeatedly sending me emails bullying me into wearing what she calls "princess costumes" to amuse and entertain the children. I've explained to her time and time again that they aren't princess costumes and they're not to entertain children, it's a genuine hobby. This morning, I received an email telling me that she talked it over with the other staff of the event and that they don't care if it's offensive, it will make the children happy and that they expect to see a princess there tomorrow. I seriously want to scream because I'm not some sort of Disney party princess and I'm not a clown for hire. I find it really inappropriate that she's emailed me several times trying to harass me into wearing expensive clothing to entertain children. On top of that, she wants me to face paint which is already dangerous enough in terms of spilling. I have no idea how to get out of this and the more I think about how she insists they're princess costumes for children, the angrier I get.

>>9406423
You can fuck right off.

>discord full of awful type of shitposting, "maymays" and being an r9k discord

None of it has to do with cgl.
Most disgusted 2 minutes of my life.

>>9406425
Just don't do it anon. Go in clothing appropriate for the event and avoid your professor. That's just so awkward and really awfully tasteless of her honestly.

>>9406425
>I have to volunteer for the event
Why?
>I don't want to go in my lolita
So don't?

I mean... it all seems so straightforward, I don't... I don't see what the problem is.
>b-but she!
No
>but, I..
No
Just don't do it if you don't want it, lmao

what
here's an actual /cgl/ discord https://discord.gg/qPs3Pqx it's kinda ded tho

>>9405857
I can't have too much elastic or bands around my waist otherwise I can't breathe and then puke. How bout' you drop your shitty standards? I'd rather wear pajama bottoms under my coords, though if you're opposed I'll just puke all over your brand I guess.

>>9406434
There's another one which is pretty decent. If only that damn LARPfag would stop shitting it up.

.t the sole LARPfag in it

>Been sewing a costume with a lot of ruffles
>Gather with the longest stitch
>No more ruffles to gather
>Almost finished
>Realize I've forgot to shorten the stitch

I don't know should I just let it be or sew the seams again

>>9406432
Volunteer isn't the right word. I'm forced to volunteer for class credit. We have to have 8 hours of volunteering for Korean events to pass. She literally CC'd me on the email to every staff member and I had to email them all back to tell them that I wouldn't be wearing it. It just seems ridiculous that, of all the other dozens of students attending this, she's choosing to single me out.

>>9406432
Chill anon it's the feels thread. Also if I had to guess she probably has to volunteer for class credit, I had a couple courses like that in uni.

>>9406425
If you really really don't want to disappoint your professor by not going you could purchase the most atrocious milanoo monstrocity for like 10 bucks and wear it. No normie would care and if she does notice it's bad quality just tell her this was what came up when you searched ebay for "princess costume" and you tried your best to make her happy.

>>9406441
Maybe she thinks you're qt and wants to get all up in that in the lolita dress.

You should talk to her.
Tell her to lean in reeeeeeeeeeal close
Whisper just under your breath the first time til she really leans in
And say

"Fuck off"

>>9406431
Yeah, I already emailed her back telling her I sent my dresses to dry cleaning and wouldn't have them available. I also agree that it's pretty tasteless since, despite me telling her I didn't want to and I'd rather wear comfortable clothing to volunteer, she's sent me multiple emails telling me I have to wear princess costumes.

>>9406442
Yeah, that's correct. I'm required to work the event for class credit. It already sucks that I have to spend a Saturday doing it but all of this is really the cherry on top.

>>9406086
How does it feel having no independent qualities and knowing that when you're in your 40s to grandma ages you can have nursing homes wipe your ass for you instead?

>>9406435
Are you new? This is obviously just bait. Lurk more.
That said, how can your ita ass wear a petticoat or skirt when you can't have bands around your waist?

>>9406425
Go to a cheap store and but the cheapest princess costume you can find

Heresyourfuckingprincess.jpg

>>9406449
I guess you have no reading comprehension. One loose petticoat band is not doubled up with a petticoat band, bands from bloomers and possible pushing in from tights. I'm not new, but I do have awful breathing and heart problems. If you're saying someone is an ita for wanting to be as comfortable as possible in already restrictive clothes with their cornucopia of health issues then you're the sort of person people roll their eyes at. "Lolita is a lifestyle hurrrrr !!111" we get it, you think you're special. Run off now and whine elsewhere.

>>9406454
Calm down girl.

>tfw you know wearing stripper shoes for cosplay is a bad idea because you have unstable joints and could injure yourself
>tfw you're gonna do it anyway because you're Sheryl Nome trash and she's the personification of the SHOES, OH MY GOD video

I mean. If I had more money than God and was raised in an alley on the most polluted piece of shit colony ship ever built I'd buy all the weird shoes I wanted too.

i don't get why people find it so hard to stay skinny unless they have medical issues that make them fat or whatever. how hard is it to just eat when you feel hungry and stop when you don't? i'm tired of fatty-chans complaining about how brand sizing doesn't cater to them. the ones i know are always talking about losing weight but they never actually do it. how lazy and entitled can you be?

>>9406425
Don't go in lolita clothing; just buy or rent a literal Disney Princess™ or a knock-off princessy frilly ballgown outfit complete with a shitty plastic tiara and go in that.

Just absolutely do not wear expensive clothing to entertaining children. No.

>she wants me to face paint
Jesus what the hell.

>>9406467
This.
Being reasonably thin is not difficult.

>>9406445
>>9406432
Anon your "advice" seems to be the type that'd get princesslarp anon into deep shit with the entire faculty and have her branded as a "disrespectful troublemaker", which would reflect very negatively on her grades.

It's not a McJob, it probably actually matters if the people grading her hate her or not

>>9406471
It's way easier to stay thin than it is to get thin from fat

>>9406467
>how hard is it to just eat when you feel hungry and stop when you don't?
well some people have their sense of hunger messed up by constant grazing for years or being overweight. Relying on the "just eat when you're hungry" only works when you're clearly able to recognise when you're actually hungry and not just feeling like you want to munch on something out of habit. It's easy and natural for people who've always had good eating habits and discipline, but might not be that way for others, so it's not a guideline that works for everyone.

Also if one's gotten accustomed to comfort eating etc it can be hard to stick to a healthy diet, especially if one was brought up in a shit home that instilled unhealthy food habits in them.

However in general, yeah, just eating a) less and b) healthier isn't that impossible at all

>>9406474
So if her teacher asks her to bark like a dog and hop around, she should?

As long as she's doing the volunteer work for the credit, it shouldn't matter if she's wearing the lolita dress or not. She's following what she's supposed to be doing and not bending over backwards for wild requests from the teachers.

The other anons suggesting the cheap dresses had great ideas, and I agree with them. However it turns out, she doesn't have follow through with completely unreasonable requests as the ones her teacher suggested.

>>9406478
>>9406479
Stop making excuses.
Stop eating.
Start excercising.

>>9406478
shouldn't have gotten fat in the first place

>>9406481
I fit brand and it's easy to maintain but it was a pain in the ass to get there. Don't be a cunt.

>>9406483
>fit brand

it's not even hard to fit into most brands though, it's not an accomplishment. everybody should be able to. now maybe it you could fit into some of the smallest VM that would matter, but AP, baby, and meta are all catering to fatties

>>9406483
Fat people tick me off. When i'm at the gym with my bf i always see how hard he works to stay ripped and all i have to do is some cardio. Fat people can't even spare the little time it takes to do some cardio every day.

>bf finally decides he wants to cosplay with me
>do big taobao order about a month ago
>get message today that everything's arrived except his costume, which has been cancelled because the seller's come out and said they're not making it any more
>only seller of that costume
>not sure if can afford to commission, way out of my skill set
>bf's spent $$$ on a wig and making a really nice prop for it, was so excited
>telling him it was cancelled felt like kicking a puppy
Hopefully it'll be okay because I've managed to find an aliexpress seller of the same costume but it's a lot more than the original costume and it looks worse quality. Fuck, though, I wanted his first cosplay to be a fun stress free time.

>>9406485
Yeah the sweet brands go real huge and it's not really an achievement. I don't fit all VM but lots of it.

But more like, if you haven't lost a bunch of weight and everyone is telling you it's hard, who are you to say it's easy? You haven't done it...

>>9406494
i haven't done it but my SO has and so have some of the girls i know who are actually trying. they all said it was easy once you start making it a habit. it looks like people are just making excuses and blaming brands for not fitting them. if you agree with me i really don't get what you're trying to prove.

>>9406494
It's also not hard to stay thin??

>>9406494
>i don't fit all VM but lots of it
anon said the smallest, a lot of VM has a 27 inch waist. that's still chubby/fat unless you're exceptionally tall

>>9405129
>girls will forever date men like this

fucking kek

>>9406481
I'm not fat (started to gain weight at some point and nipped that shit in the bud tho) and am exercising, but if you don't get that just because staying thin is relatively easy and effortless for you, it's different for people who may never have eaten healthily in their life due to the circumstances they grew up in, you're not very smart.

It's easier to keep following healthy habits you've always had than it is to break out of bad ones and learn completely new, foreign habits. The circumstances you're brought up in affect a lot of stuff, from how you approach books, education, life goals and society to how you approach food. "Normal" depends a whole lot on what sort of parents do you happen to have.

Stop being an obtuse bitch.

>>9406513
Don't call me a bitch, bitch.

>>9405582
Oh nice, those look like AKG's she's wearing. maybe the k702's?

Looks like my kinda gal.

>>9405604
Because washing your face all the time is bad for your skin. You strop your natural oils and damage it. I do a water only shower 2 days and soap shower every third. Skin had been radiant since.

Showering everyday is only a VERY recent cultural thing. You really don't need to, and shouldn't, unless you're a fucking football player or something

>>9406480
Hey everybody. I ended up emailing her and telling her that my dresses were getting dry cleaned since when I told her I didn't want to do it before, I assumed it was the end of the conversation and sent them to be cleaned. She was upset and asked if I could get one of them back because now the staff expected a princess to show up. I just told her that it wasn't possible and that I'd be happy to wear some of my more decadent Liz Lisa clothes (this I don't mind since I wear Liz Lisa on my off days). She eventually gave up and sent me a defeated, passive aggressive email about how she's disappointed but at least I can still face paint. Whatever. I'm over it now and I'll be glad when I'm out of her class. Thank you all for the support and advice though. Feels good to know I wasn't going crazy thinking she was being a tad bit entitled to say the least.

>>9406486
>durr the key to not being fat is exercising, if only they bothered to exercise a little bit they'd stop being fat

The key to not being fat is controlling what and how much you eat, not exercising. It's very easy to stuff your face with so many calories it'd take several hours daily in the gym, or all day every day, to work that shit off.

Going around telling people retarded shit like "hurr just eat whenever you're hungry till you're not hungry any more, and then just exercise a few times a week for a bit you'll be thin it's easy" is just feeding them misinformation.

You control weight through calorie intake, and muscle tone and general fitness through exercising.
For example, my aunt is one of the more active people I know, yet despite exercising every day she's still fat because she loves to cook and drink wine and puts a lot of cream etc in everything she makes, and on the other hand I myself lost a ton of weight when I broke my leg and was stuck on the sofa at my parents and ate strictly according to their meal schedule, because I couldn't open the fridge or prepare stuff while on crutches.

This is not the same as saying "fat people can't help being fat baaww", obviously they can they just need to eat less. But I'm really sick of the "just start exercising, that'll do it badabing" crap

>>9406529
>excercise has nothing to do with being fat
LMAO
