Those measurements are so unfortunate... if you want lolita sooo bad why not try losing weight first?

Covers the tiny bust/waist difference at least, but yeah. There really is a point where people should prioritize their health over buying lolita.

When people ask me how far the shirring stretches on something I’m selling I usually lie and say it’s smaller than it really is. Shirring isn’t meant to be stretched to the max but pointing this out won’t stop them.

She could probably stand to lose weight, for sure. But she's also trans. Depending on her height and general build, that might be pretty close to her minimum possible measurements.

Lots of men have really huge ribcages and shoulders compared to your average woman, just like some women have giant child-bearing hips or giant tits that no amount of weightloss is going to change. I would know, I've got massive hips, and even when I was severely underweight with a 53cm waist, my hips were still a very bony 90cm around.

At a certain point, you have to accept that either you need to commission someone to make custom clothes, or you need to adjust your expectations as to what you'll fit into, or you need to work on changing your own body.

>> No.10116993

As a thin person with large measurements because I’m, ya know, tall and not Asian, this is true. I hate when nasty tiny lolitas assume everyone else is fat and call them ham planets just because they don’t have a 55 cm waist. I could be dying of starvation and not be anywhere close to that. Even the brands that make larger sizes like Lief literally just make them for short fat people. In my Lief dress that is suppposedly large enough for me my bust is in the area that supposed to be meant for the waist. All they did was put in shirring and make the skirt longer, and did not proportionally adjust the torso area in the slightest bit. Western brands are no different, they’re just clothes for short obese people. It’s almost like it’s impossible for them to conceive of the fact that people who are taller might maybe have a proportionally wider skeleton as well. I’m not even a giant or trans, I’m 5’7” with an hourglass figure. That being said, actual fatties who pretend like they’re just big-boned piss me off too. They ruin the market for people who are capable of not stuffing their faces, they should try actually losing weight before patting themselves on the back for accepting their obviously unhealthy bodies. They’ve also co-opted the phrase “curvy” to mean morbidly obese which irritates me as well, but I suppose that’s a story for another board. And all that being said, while I do hate when people can’t just accept the fact that they can’t wear certain dresses or brands, talking about wishing there was more size inclusivity is not bad in and of itself and does not mean you’re a too-self-accepting obese person.

That's fucking shitty anon. Some of us are just trying to figure out if we are under 5cm of the max. If you tell me the size is actually 5cm less than what I am looking for then I won't buy it and that's crappy and just plain dumb. Not everyone wants to stretch things out to the max.

>> No.10117013

>>10117000
Not that anon, but shirring is a design element as well as aiding in fitting larger sizes and if you can "fit" into it but the shirring is too stretched out (that happens even if you are 5cm below measurements, btw...) it doesn't fit.

I love how he/she constantly mentions his/her height "I'm sooo tall". Even if you were over 200cm, it still wouldn't be as much of a problem as your absolutely gigantic gut! Quit acting as if being tall means you inherently come with landwhale measurements.
Also, the comments...
>Don't give up! You're definitely on the bigger side, but that's the beauty of custom sizing. In my experience (plus size girl here), they can do any size, since they'll alter the pattern for your unique measurements.

the only reason comms are afraid to kick sissies or take other action is im guessing fear of repercussion.
kick out a sissy then they go and bitch to anyone who will listen about how "toxic" the community or its members are, will get trans allies who have no idea of the situation to attack you or your comm which can lead to your comm having a bad reputation or being not allowed to attend places or events (seems to me like there are a few anons who have experienced this within their comm personally so hopefully they'll chime in).
its pretty obvious why sissies feel safe infiltrating the fashion, and its because pro-trans rhetoric has no room for criticism. and its obvious why so little action is taken against them. and it fucking sucks.

because 1. most of us have had unpleasant encounters with scalpers when we first started the fashion, and we don't want the less informed/newer crowd getting screwed and 2. are you implying you support scalping? cos that is one of the main reasons for unstable pricing on dresses - scalpers get several times more than what they pay for and it overinflates the worth of dresses. most of us would rather pay for a brand new dress directly from the store, but if all the scalpers buy it up and sell it to us for way more than what it's worth, we're not exactly supporting our brands or the people that give a shit about the fashion.

I don't buy from scalpers as much as any sane person that knows how to do market research, but is it insane to ask people to show restraint instead of whining about them like babies? I'd like to think we are mostly educated adults here, so when you decide to buy a scalped piece like a fucking idiot, you should be holding yourself accountable for your idiocy and lack of patience. Vote with your money and if none of you bought from scalpers they would stop because there would be no profit. At the end of the day it is a free market, so throwing a tantrum about "unfair resellers that need to choke" makes you look like a spoiled brat

>> No.10121736

>>10121730
You can take your sanctimonious “why can’t we be lovelies about this?” pearl clutching and shove it tbqh

Obviously in a perfect world no one would buy from scalpers and they wouldn’t exist, but that isn’t going to happen any time soon without something being done, and I’m assuming OP knows this and it’s why she made the thread

There were some helpful suggestions made I think

>> No.10121737

>>10121730
Nayrt but scalpers also snatch up rare secondhand pieces and then try to resell them with a huge markup. They essentially take things off the market just to have them sit around in storage for months or even years until they sell. Most of us have jobs and school so we don’t have the time to check secondhand sites every second of every day, and he fact that this means items get hoovered up by people who don’t even like them and only buy to turn a profit is fucking annoying.

Personally I don’t care if individual lolitas want to resell a single dress for twice its market value because they’re just one drop in the bucket, but professional scalpers actually go out of their way to fuck up the market.

>There were some helpful suggestions made I think

Like what? I didn't see any actual helpful advice that could be implemented, and for suggestions like banning scalpers and resellers, a few posters made very good points on why it can't be implemented on LM.

But of course if you are so clever, please make a failproof rule that covers all cases and will not start a witch hunt against people with big wardrobes and people that dont want to sell their pieces for dirt cheap and present it to the LM mods.

>> No.10121766

>>10121737
I hate scalpers as much as the next person, but your idea of what market value means makes no sense. If people are willing to pay double what you think a dress "should" cost, maybe you're wrong about the market value. Things can go below value when people are desperate for a sale, the lowest price ever sold is not necessarily the market value

>> No.10121801

>>10121766
People often aren't willing to pay, which is why some pieces sit around unsold for such a long time. This isn't a big deal when it's individual sellers sitting on a few pieces here and there, but certain resellers systematically do this with anything they can get their hands on and that's a pain in the ass.

>item listed on mercari for $50
>scalper snatches it up and immediately relists it for $100
>someone who could've bought the item for $50 now has to either shell out $100 or wait for it to pop up again, which can take a very long time for rarer pieces
See how annoying that is? These aren't natural market dynamics.

They're not. And it's a pain in the ass. I don't like scalpers. Resellers can be a pain in the ass, And you'd be a fool to think this problem is exclusive with lolita fashion. It exists and has existed for a very long time in every single hobby.

But what are you or anyone going to do about it besides bitch and boycot? How is anyone able to prove without doubt that someone is scalping and reselling without hurting the rest of the community of honest buyers and sellers? You can't just point "RESELLER!" and witch hunt without laying down rules that negatively impact everyone.

I said it before in the RC thread. Anyone can create an account. Anyone can sneak around rules.

The only thing that could be done is try to make it so that resellers find the LM platform less worthwhile. But how? At the same time, it's likely going to hurt people who are selling off large chunks of their wardrobes, or require heavy moderation. It won't stop them from opening up a store elsewhere, like ebay. Another reseller on LM has been on ecrater for eons since the egl-comm-sales days.

If someone has an actual GOOD idea on what to do, by all means, bring it up. Otherwise every one of you are practically crying the same entitled tears as those who complain about fatties ruining brand or people owning your dream dress and not coording it to your standards.

It sucks. Sure. Either work to be part of the solution or don't.

Cancer survivor here. I easily had roughly half a million dollars worth of drugs and testing over my 6 months of chemo. Some people go for longer than six months, and some also require radiation, surgery, or other treatments I personally did not need. I lost my job during that time, too, because it was a small business that couldn't accomodate me taking a medical leave during that time, I'd be in an insane amount of debt if I had not had my parents insurance to fall back on. If she is having to pay out of pocket it might be pricier than you would think. She also probably bought a lot of her brand and BJDs prior to her diagnosis. But, I am speaking on my experience in American. I can't speak for the Chinese healthcare system.

OT but that sounds easy as hell to have happen. Like others said you can have bought things when you were more financially stable and then have the situation change. I'm in my late 20's and most people my age in my area fall into three camps:
1. have some sort of tech degree and got snapped up by the giants in our area, so they make big buxx
2. have another sort of professional degree and are working that field making under 40k a year
3. have no degree/some college and work entry level positions making ends meet

Even in a fairly low cost of living area and with a higher minimum wage than the national, everyone in groups 2 and 3 are putting 90% of their checks towards rent/utilities/internet/phone/car/gas/groceries/medical expenses. Putting the last 0-10% into savings is fine but it'd take a year of doing NOTHING else with the money to reach the 6 month buffer most financial experts suggest you have in case of emergency. And even then all it takes is a couple flat tires, or an ER visit, or having to miss a week of work for a family emergency, or any number of random things to pop up that bleed those savings out. It's not at all unreasonable to see people who make enough to "get by" and maybe go to a meet or have takeout on a few occasions but not have a savings account.

The funny thing was, I did have a full time job. Half of it was probably lolita, the others was for sure, dental bills (had a root canal, wisdom teeth pulled), some medical stuff. Buying lots of repeat supplies for artist alley, experimenting on products that didn't sell well enough.

But like I said here: >>10124619 Sold about half of my wardrobe. That got it down a decent chunk. I had some other collections I was able to sell that had accumulated some worth. Did some artist alley and that helped.

Then I just paid it off with about 1/3 of my month's pay and didn't do any extras for awhile.

It took at most about 18 months or to pay it off in full.

My student loan is just under 1k after an original 25k. So, I'm not really THAT bad. I have a problem with impulse buying. But I'm also resourceful so it sort of works out.

I'd just like to save for once?

Unfortunately Die Walkure is always going to be one of those sets where you have to qualify that you like the set before finding out the name, the 3edgy5me name breaks your heart but you bought the dress set before finding out (the English site had another name for it so that helps you there), you find it okay because it doesn't actually have Nazi symbols on it, and also bring up Hikari Litchi Club for good measure (I actually think the Meta set was trying to cash in whatever trend Hikari Lychee rode in on, since that tiny niche manga managed to get an anime, stage play and live action movie done for it, so it must have been fairly popular in Japan. The timing actually looks about right, too).

I kind of want to point out that people are very quick to make fun of stupid Engrish because "lel stupid baka inferior azns", so I'm not really surprised if the same people just cannot see past their own culture and assumes that everybody needs to take offence at the same things they do, laugh at the same Azns that they do, etc etc.

> it doesn't actually have Nazi symbols on it

Seriously, everyone excusing this set by claiming that Japanese people "just don't know that much about WW2" is showing their own ignorance in history. Yes, Japanese people might be undereducated about their role on WW2, but that's not because "oh, it just didn't concern them as much as us westerners", it is because their society deliberately makes an effort to play down their involvement and refuses to acknowledge their war crimes. The ignorance is not an excuse, it is the problem.

You can also point out that Operation Valkyrie is most commonly known as the plot to wrest control away from the SS and Nazi leadership after the planned assassination of Hitler. There are multiple movies about it. So it's not even a pro-Nazi name, quite the opposite.

You don't have to be white to be racist. Asians are racist af and guess what, they think they're better because they are *gasp* Asians and not fucking white. Not everyone wants to be white. Not everyone who is racist against black people are white. Asians are even racist against other Asians because their skin is darker. Look at India. Those people basically hate themselves and each other better than anyone else can.

Black people can be racist to white people. Shit is still racism. You don't need to be white or consider yourself white for that. I'm fucking sick of the non whites can do no wrong mentality. Guess what black people, Asian people look down on you too.

Wagner died in 1883. He wasn't a Nazi, his operas weren't written for or about Nazis, and Hitler liking his work doesn't retroactively mean anything associated with it is pro-Nazi. Die Walkure is inspired by Unternehmen Walküre. It even includes an eyepatch inspired by Claus von Stauffenberg.

I'm from a country that was under Nazi occupation during the war and I understand why there is a strong knee-jerk reaction to anything WWII-era German, and that Japan has an especially shitty track record when it comes to WWII. I can imagine that Meta was trying to be edgy when designing Die Walkure and that may have been in poor taste. Honestly, I don't understand the appeal of the set myself. But it would be nice if people were able to take a step back and look at the actual history they're talking about before they start accusing people of being Nazi sympathisers.

I’m referring to their co-opting of Sambo, who is definitely a white (British) caricature that infantilizes black and Indian people in order to justify colonialism.

Obviously there’s no one in the world who actually thinks Wagner was a registered Nazi (though he was overtly anti-Semitic — look up his treatise On Jewishness in Music). His operas do carry a Nazi connotation in a lot of areas, though, especially places that were hit hard by their regime or where there are a lot of Jewish people, e.g. Israel. This is mostly because the Nazis had a huge hard on for Wagner and Hitler actually died with some of his original scores in his bunker.

Actually, the outfit breakdown has been debated to death in the past, and the old thread came to the same conclusion as this anon's friend >>10129968 -- mashup of at least 3 different countries, and on closer inspection most of the logos are completely made up, they just look similar, including the eagle. I think even a major part of the outfit was Alliance rather than Axis/German, the colours I think?

Also, the point isn't that the Japanese don't know their own history, it's that you're already projecting that your version of reality must be the correct one, you've just completely glossed over Hikari Litchi without a second thought.

>>10129724

Oh, that's a new idea. I'm actually not interested in military lolita at all, I just commented because it seems sad that some girls get so much flak for what turns out to be a really inaccurate costume at the end of it all. And you gotta wonder how Wagner feels in his grave right now, all he did was write some darn good music, he gets one superfan and then people now apparently hate his guts.

not to be that person, but 3k debt is pretty minor depending on your life situation. but i do agree that spending thousands on lolita is quite ridiculous if you don't have a job or means to sustain that level of purchasing. you are also ruining your credit by signing up for credit card after credit card.

in the usa, debt is not the end-all. managing debt responsibly is much more important, it's what builds credit and allows you to purchase bigger things later in life (cars, houses, etc). most people will never be able to just set aside 20k to purchase a car in one go, or pay for a house in cold hard cash. we live in an electronic-funds based society so we have to learn how to use it.

This.

I mentioned in another thread that I'd been 10k in debt before just from spending and credit cards. Half of that was probably Lolita and cumulative over a few years. Plus dental bills, some medical, some everyday spending, car maintenance, etc. I've been 20k in debt due to student loans.

It's not the end of the world if you have the ability to get out of debt by working or at least being resourceful enough, having side jobs and things of that nature. It would be irresponsible to rack up 10k in spending without a job, but it's unlikely you'd even be offered that large of a credit limit.

I'm under 1k in my student loan, and it'll be paid off in a few months.

The credit card debt was paid off in a year and a half. (Full time job + doing artist alley, selling old collections and some wardrobe pieces I was less fond of)

Also I didn't have a lot of living expenses. I contributed to rent, car payments, food and the like. But I didn't have a lot otherwise I needed to pay for. I'm just horrible at budgeting and saving and I buy on impulse a lot.

You see people who are massively in debt with lots of living expenses having a hard time getting out of it and making ends meet or filing for bankruptcy. That would be worse if it were in part, due to lolita. Far worse than just being in debt that's manageable.

10k debt anon here. I mentioned earlier. (made a post and realized it's still in this gd thread)

Even though I was in debt that high, my credit score is also really high because I've paid it off.

Yeah, if you count student loans and car loans in addition to credit cards, I have a little under $80k? But paying it off every month, not missing payments, having a good amount of available credit vs debt, as well as having a long history of "good" debt is way more important.

I mean I have a 28” waist and I’ve never owned an op that was tight on me, even my old school ap OPs fit fine, I don’t really think that a 28” waist warrants getting called fat

I have a 28" waist too. I'm not fat at all just tall. I also wear old school and fit into it, and not just "get it on" it fits and isn't too tight or anything. a 28" waist on someone 5 feet tall might be fat, but on someone 5'11" (for example" it's definitely not fat.

Also body proportions beyond height have a lot to do with it as well. Someone with a longer torso can achieve a smaller waist than someone with a shorter one, especially if they've got broader shoulders, wider ribs. Sort of common with upside-down triangle shapes.

You can diet and train all you'd like, but you're limited to the shape of your skeleton.

In general BMI isn't bad for the average person. Body fat percentage is a better indicator. Best to just aim for what is healthy for you and not other's opinions, especially on /cgl/ where anything over 22" is fat.

Yeah it’s like other anon said, sometimes jokes about racism can come across as belittling to those who care about/are affected by racism and thus appeal to the wrong crowd. I’m not bothered by the joke personally I can just see where people were coming from. That one girl I mentioned was going off way too hard though.

Ugh, these fucking people...The joke was silly but when the regressive left keeps crucifying people over stupidities like this, it just makes them angry and prone to right wing propaganda. This is why Trump was elected in the first place. This is why half of Europe is going to elect alt-right in the next elections, and then things will truly suck balls.
