AP is literally a fast fashion brand now. Cute matching sets take time and different factories, so different release schedules.

Bought the JSK, necklace, bracelet, ring, bonnet, wristcuffs, tights and ankle socks at release. Got the headbow and OTK socks (released later I believe?) when the MTO was open.

There's been new releases lately where the socks will go online a few weeks later, or jewelry MAY come out a few weeks later. But sometimes there's nothing extra to match beyond the headbow and main piece.

Fellow set-chan here, I agree with you, I love it when I get a dress in two colours/cuts and also own the matching headbow, different matching socks, matching jewellery with the exactly matching motif on it, totebags, brollies, themed plushie bag, even the matching blouses, brollies, totebags and whatever else. Especially if I really, really love a particular release, and no, I don't mind waiting for them, I've lived through various chocolate releases where the bags always seem to be whole months behind the dress releases.

I think the reason AP doesn't do them anymore isn't so much they're cheaping out, it's the same story as the skirts. How many times do you hear people complain that AP jewellery is cheap plastic, or the matching tights are too busy, or $40 for tights they'll rip with their toenails is highway robbery, or they'd rather do another blouse than buy the matching blouse because it's unoriginal and uncreative. And even when they're full-on AP fans, quite a lot of girls have themes they collect, so rather than buy a fullset DDC they'd just wear them with the OTKs from Sugary Carnival instead.

I hate that AP stopped making fuller sets, but I think it's not that they're lazy -- why wouldn't they make more stuff if it makes them more money? I think people just stopped buying all the extras that go with a full set, so now AP is more cautious about committing money to making large scale full collections of things.

Harajuku Hearts, the store that shares space with Angelic Pretty USA, carries Imai Kira. I don't know how their selection compares with other stores, but depending on where you live it might be a good option. Looking over the selection, they have a lot of post cards and stickers right now. They do carry her clothing pieces too, but they are currently sold out.

Also I noticed that this store now carries Emily Temple Cute, so that brand is now avilable in the US.

I'd recommend a steamer! They're way more gentle on clothes than ironing, plus the steam also works to sanitize clothing, since it's hot enough to kill bacteria. I bought one a while ago and it's worlds better than ironing.

Stupid question, but does steaming reduce the number of times you need to wash? Obviously still gonna wash my clothes, but thinking more so of reducing the amount of times I need to dry clean some delicate pieces, so they last longer.

>> No.10150109

>>10150107
As far as I'm aware, it doesn't replace actual washing. Because the temp kills bacteria, that would prevent odours, but you should still wash your clothes regularly to remove the oils and other particles that your skin can leave on the fabrics. Iirc there's also a cleaning solution you can put in the steamer, but that can cause build-up of residue inside the machine, so you're better off with just water.

>> No.10150122

>>10150086 >>10150102 >>10150107 >>10150109
Steamers are very useful; so is straightening out a garment after washing it. When it comes to cotton blouses, one of the best ways to avoid wrinkles is just to hang it up on a clothes hanger on like the frame of an open door. Then smooth it out by hand while it's wet and tug at edges that have curled in the wash. Wait for it to dry, then consider any steaming or ironing.

Gulls who travel often, how do you clean your fancier clothes when visiting a very hot and humid area (e.g. Singapore/asia)? Do you avoid wearing them period or just spot clean until you're back from your trip?

There's a couple of OPs (like pic related) I'd like to bring for meets but I'm anxious I won't be able to clean them properly abroad. In the past I've stuck to solids or something I don't mind throwing in the hotel washing machine. Should I scrap this idea all together and opt for something more casual?

>> No.10150212

Not sure where to post this... feels thread? But I'm not sure what's going on with my wardrobe. None of my old dream dresses are my dream dresses now, and my new dream dresses probably wouldn't suit me. I know I should stick to my style and what I know, and I'd look less good if I change my style, but I can't help it.

Think about which clothes you currently own that you want to wear most often. Buy more like that, and sell the things you don't like to wear anymore, even if you lose money. Or try to trade them before selling.

>> No.10150233

>>10150225
Why not just keep the wardrobe growing with the new style. Identify what exactly makes you not look good in the new style and try to work on it. Get cuts that suit your body type, or learn how to do better makeup. I think almost everyone can make a style work for them if they just try hard enough to improve and figure out what really works. Even when people say things like "he'd face doesn't suit sweet" I think that can totally be improved with makeup.

Does anyone else get turned away from buying an item when it’s listed as “plus size friendly” and it’s not NWT? I always get anxious that the seller is fat and has stretched out the shirting/seams and isn’t disclosing it. Even if it’s listed in very good condition and they say they’ve only tried it on or worn it once i instantly think they fucked it up.

Harajuku Hearts is a seperate company from AP USA who share the same floor space split down the middle. That's why they have two seperate websites and buying items from one side of the store does not nessesarily qualify you for event tickets hosted by the other side of the store.
Sorry if they had low stock when you visited it last time. Depending on the day I often see 2-10 main pieces by Enchantlic Enchantilly or Atelier Pierrot. It does seem like their items from Listen Flavor and Qpot get restocked more often though.

Yeah but it's not like that in the actual store.

Also what the fuck, I never complained about their low stock? Their stock was fine when I visited. I was just pointing out that it was disappointing to go there thinking the store was split down the middle and it was two shops sharing the same building but really it's just AP and they happen to have other brands too.

Baby on the other hand is part of a 3 story building that shares space with one other kawai store (I don't remember the name but they had some liz lisa looking stuff as well as a ton of fairy kei stuff) as well as a tea shop.

I'm in the same boat. loved sweet and one day i just thought, do i like this anymore? I get so much less attention in gothic and I'm just tired of feeling like someone out there may see me as a ageplayer... plus i just have grown to really appreciate gothic lolita. it's so nice.
Honestly if you don't like what you have, sell it slowly. Take your time with it. I'm sure theres a few pieces you still like, so keep those until you tire of them too. There's no rush to change, but you should have a wardrobe you like.

noooooooo don't do that, anon!

Try hand washing with neutral soap, please. You can pour water only in the armpit area and scrub it by hand until the smells go away. If it doesn't solve the problem, try checking the internet for homemade recipes for taking the smell away from clothes (there are some with baking soda and lemon out there). But first try it on small part of the fabric to check if it reacts.

I've been feeling similar to this recently too. In the last couple of months a bunch of dresses I considered DDs have come up either secondhand or MTO and I've honestly felt nothing about them. I'm not really even interested in having them anymore I guess. Most of my wardrobe is gothic, but I have a few sweet and classic pieces too. I'm starting to feel pretty bored with my sweeter pieces and feel like I've gotten as much possible wear out of them as I can (they're mostly OPs) I want to sell them off but I always worry I'll regret it and miss those pieces.

Guess I'm just bored but scared to try anything new. I do love most of my wardrobe but it's made me really reconsider what my personal style is within lolita and if traditional lolita fashion is even my thing anymore. I find myself more interested in pieces that lean more aristocrat or more otome rather than lolita. I guess I'm not so much switching substyles like you are but more transitioning towards 'sister' styles? The pieces I'm getting sick of are the ones I feel can only really be worn in my old style, but like you I don't just have unlimited money to magic up a new wardrobe overnight.

Maybe you can try cycling through your wardrobe one dress out one dress in until you feel you have a clear idea of what you want to wear and what suits you? Sell off the pieces you feel are totally not your style anymore first and see where you want to go from there. You will have to put in some money but at least you won't be totally starting from zero that way.

I want to make fun of you but I'm glad you're asking at the same time. Please don't do this. People will notice!

Look, lolita is not nearly as uguu delicate as people make it out to be. You shouldn't throw everything in the washing machine but that doesn't mean it can't be washed or it just disintegrates. It's like normal clothing but sturdier, and sometimes there is special care.
What you need to do with your ops is gently soak the bodice in water and what I like to do is put some woolite in my hand and rub it over the armpit area. You don't need to scrub hard, just rub it in. Let it soak for a little while and rinse it.
The only things you shouldn't do this with are like old white and red mix items. But you probably don't have that.

I feel this so much. I pretty much stopped looking for my dream dresses like I just don’t care anymore. But I want to care so I feel bad about it. It’s sad, but my interest seems to be pulled towards more casual fashion, like MILK and Katie and those sorts of brands. I have a hard time selling off my wardrobe though because of other people. My friends suggest I wear it all the time and it feels like such a burden.

I considered slowly switching to classic (currently sweet) because it’s less attention grabby and awkward but I’m not sure the toned down colors suit me so idk.

And I do like the dresses I have, I’m just not sure I like how they look on me anymore.

I can relate. I have a lot of OTT gothic and sweet pieces with gothic motifs (think AP halloween prints) I love them on other people and I don't think when you reach a certain age or whatever you have to dress down, but I just don't feel super comfortable in them anymore. While I have a thick skin, I'm also a very private person so I don't really feel super comfortable in more attention grabby pieces covered in coffins and shit. I just feel like it's not really 'me' anymore either and I find myself wearing my more classic pieces more. I also hate to say it but I'm also just really over petticoats. The silhouette was never what drew me to the fashion. I prefer the longer, elegant silhouettes in aristocrat and the easy free silhouettes of otome much more and even within lolita I tend to buy mostly pieces that deviate from the 'main' silhouettes.

It just makes me sad because I used to love wearing lolita so much and being part of the subculture but now I just feel kinda indifferent to it. I still love most of the stuff in my wardrobe, but I don't really get excited about the fashion itself anymore. I've been wearing some of my more casual and classic pieces in different ways now but still I feel like there's only so many new things I can try before the way I wear my clothes isn't lolita anymore. But overall I think I want to try new things more than I want to be a lolita. Still, it's just hard letting go of a subculture that's been a big part of my life for years. I'm probably still always going to wear jfash though.

Vinegar gets a lot of smells and stains out, but you do need to test how it'll react on the fabric and you will need to properly wash it to get the vinegar itself out.

Don't kid yourself, anon. Their releases have shrunk as well. There was a time when it would not only come out with two cuts of jsk and skirt and socks but also mutliple types of headwear and complete sets of jewellery.

Look up the full release for Scheherazade. Two jsk cuts and skirt, plus an actual set matching blouse, matching choker, and then your choice of four different headwear: A headbow, a headdress, some tiny hairpins, and a whopping $250 Mystic Pearl Lariat headdress.

Some of their non-print releases are as small as AP's, just barely some main pieces and a some bows. Their "big" hyped up print releases with multiple jsks and skirts don't always have matching jewellery anymore, let alone 4 different hair accessories.

I think the old trick I learned was to simply soak it/put it with only baking soda. Apparently it absorbs smells whether it's dry or wet, so if you're worried about fabric damage you might just put it in a bag with the powder and see if it works first.

I second this hybrid wardrobe idea. Also consider trying "out of genre" petticoats with your Lolita pieces to see if having the poof rest differently makes you more or less comfortable with the pieces on your body now. Lolita has a specific shape but if you're going casual / hybrid wardrobe then it's worth exploring.

Also consider, if there's a main piece you can't part with, but the cut doesn't suit you; perhaps turn it into a skirt. It requires some sewing know-how, but I did that with a print I loved but all the dress cuts were unflattering. It was a "loss" in the sense I ruined the resell value, but now I wear that piece all the time because I can totally wear it as a skirt with either a Lolita blouse or a casual / normie t-shirt.

>> No.10150853

>>10150851
Wanted to just add to the skirt thing; for Lolita I still wear a classical puppets petticoat under it, but for casual wear I use a vintage soft petticoat from the 1950s. In most cases a Lolita dress-to-skirt will always need a petticoat or it will look sad, but you can adjust that volume nob up and down to make it more pronounced or casual.

You don't necessarily need 20cm, just enough to make it look loose, but not like two plastic bags. For the waist ties, I would just adjust them to make it look as proportionate as possible.

I know exactly how you feel. Mind if I ask how long you've been in the fashion? I used to wear sweet almost daily for half a decade, but I think at some point I just realized I'm not invested in having the clothes be such a defining and sometimes inhibiting aspect of my life. I agree the best coping mechanism is simply to stop treating our clothes as "lolita" pieces and to start wearing them in more comfortable ways outside the fashion.

>>10150851

Absolutely. The only brand I’ve bought that is worth the price for construction and materials is Mary Magdalene — if anything, their original prices were too low, which may be why they’re barely in business any more.

I would disagree. Some of their dresses would drape much better over a petti if lined. Plus, these are their winter dresses. If it was their summer releases that were not lined, that would make sense, but their recent winter release line did not feel luxurious or for colder weather at all.

This coordinate is amazing. The necklace is something I always wanted to recreate since it's just beadwoven components on chains. I'm also in love with the beaded embroidery bracelet she has. It's just so decadent and really evokes the spirit of the original painting well.

Whoever was in charge of deletions in the past 1-2 weeks deleted posts literally telling newfags to lurk more or adjust to common board culture. Take a look at it in the archives yourself. Those actions do the exact opposite of what you want. What we need is different and more specific rules that encourage lurking.

Everything can escalate into "trolling", that's not a valid reason to delete completely normal discussion about brands just because the person posting made a single lazy shitpost in another thread. Why not just delete that one shitpost?

I think they're doubling down now because people use different devices to post and will continue the trolling elsewhere so they just delete any and all posts they can find. Like I've been busted for trolling here and then my posts were deleted from other boards as well.
Remember the aggressiveness of HWC? They're trying their best to nip shit like that in the butt to keep it from getting that out of control again.

It obviously has results because dumb meme anon threw a pissy fit in the thread here cause they know they're up to no good and they got caught and can't handle it now.

That doesn't even work. Last time I got mass deleted, I just went on my phone and posted. Didn't get caught for the period of time I was banned.

All mass deletion does is rid the board of quality posts, leading to massive gaps in conversations.

However, I'm just really upset that half the Japanese CoF thread is gone. Like yeah, sure, I could always go to the archives, but that didn't need to happen.

Regarding the dump in the Japanese COF thread, I'll like to offer some insight. I'm the anon that made the dump. The post I was banned for was https://rbt.asia/cgl/thread/10144986/#q10144987..

For the newer seagulls, the 4CC is a 4chan event that's been held since 2011. Basically it's a soccer competition between boards. Since moot left, mods have been taking a harder stance against inter-board activities (banning everyone involved) which is why events like the Winter Ball (which actually started because of the 4CC) isn't happening lately. It does seem that some mods are okay with the event, since ban appeals are possible.

For a board to participate in a cup, there has to be someone caring for the team (either a caretaker or a manager) and proof of interest (POI). It's to make sure no board is participating against the will of its users and also to encourage board participation in the making of its roster. If the POI is older than 6 months, it's no longer valid, as board opinion could have changed in that time. /cgl/ actually managed to get its old manager back, making the team eligible to play, but because things have changed a lot in the 3 or so years he was away, wasn't aware of the POI thing. He was also travelling in Japan at that point, and wasn't able to do the polling/board interaction, which is why I stepped up to do it. I did it knowing that I would get banned.

What I didn't expect was that everyone that posted in the thread would be banned with me and all of us would get our posts wiped based on IP. IP wipes are rare in the first place >>>/qa/2693576. After speaking to other people involved in the cup, the bans can go up to a month, but none have gotten IP wipes, so /cgl/ is an odd case in that regard. Anyway, because of the wipe for my IP, my dump was deleted as were the posts of other anons that responded in the thread.

tl;dr: mod doesn't like the 4CC, bans everyone. IP wipe not expected, J-COF dump deleted.

Was at a street festival last weekend and apparently some girl’s boyfriend just snapped a pic of me without asking, which wouldn’t be so weird but I had politely waved at her and said hi after she said that she liked my dress so it’s not like I was being unapproachable. Maybe they didn’t want to bother me while I was watching a karate demonstration, but is it so hard to wait and ask for a picture? I get that people will take your picture (especially at festivals and whatnot) but it strikes me as really rude and inconsiderate to not ask. This was probably not the first time someone’s snapped a pic of me in lolita but it’s the first time I noticed, thanks to a friend pointing it out. But ofc she didn’t mention it till afterwards...she didn’t know what to say, she just gave him a death stare. I told her next time she should make an “X” with her hands.

I mean, they're not unnecessary for me when they're the only way of taking a dress in, and I use them if there isn't an option. I just much prefer functional corset lacing (using eyelets or ribbon loops, not the stupid shit baby does) to adjust fit. Waist ties look bulky under cardigans, sewn in ones are hard to wear vests or corsets with without getting lumps, and sewn ones are a pain to tie nicely by yourself. Detachable ones are better though.

I also second this, I understand accidents happen, and I don't use mine very often but I still keep them all stored in a case so I know where they are and don't lose them. It's not like people can lose them when they're wearing them, so surely they can't be far from home.

The thing actually I can't stand is how people think it's ok to list dresses for sale and not mention the fact the waist ties are missing. In my eyes it's still a part of the dress and missing waist ties is counted as a missing item. If a dress doesn't come with them I'm not buying it unless it's a price that reflects it. I've bought dresses in the past without thinking and there's nothing more disappointing than getting it and finding out it's missing its ties.

It's easy to blame it on salty vendetta-chans or board culture or the 4chan version of autism but I'd say that behaviour comes from people's boredom, frustration, and jealousy. It reinforces itself because it feels kind of good to let loose and be horrible for a while and it's safe to be a bitch here without repercussions, and anyone who questions it is threatening that safety so we reeeeeeee and tell them to lurk more or gtfo.

It's because it's /cgl/. Many other boards are not like this, it's because a lot of people on this board are trolls/crossboarders who don't really understand lolita/cosplay, or they don't actually understand 4chan culture in general. There's a lot of misinformation on this board and people don't like to back down. Also a lot of jealous people.

So I was the anon who bought those badly scuffed shoes off of wunderwelt's lm the other week.
And they were pretty bad. It was more of a color transfer than a proper scuff.
The parts on the heels were scratches.
So today I finally went ahead and repainted them.
It's my first time doing such a repair, and I think I did decently.
Here's a before and after.

>> No.10152606

>>10152604
That looks pretty good - what did you use to paint them?

>> No.10152608

>>10152606
>10152606
A combination of a thin, thin layer of acrylic paint and a sharpie oil based paint pen and a top coat of modge podge.
Because I was mostly spot treating them and just needed the acrylic to ad a small top coat, I didn't really go for angelus.
If I was doing more coats on the whole shoe, I'd def get angelus.
But the hear punch outs were yellow/brown on the insides.
IDK what the previous owner did, but they were super bad looking at first.

>> No.10152625

>>10152604
Looks decent, but I suggest not painting in the area between the sole and shoe. Looks a little icky there because the paint collected in it.

I think you can actually get paint for shoes too. I tried using modgepodge one some pleather shoes at least a decade ago, and it doesn't hold up very well. but as long as you're wearing them in a dry place and take good care of them the paint job should last a small amount of time at least.

>> No.10152627

>>10152625
Thanks for the advice! I can probably go in that area with a needle and clean it up a bit.
And the modge podge is mostly to prevent that weird dusty texture the paint gave it.
I didnt do more than 2 light layers.

Forgive me if this question comes off as retarded, especially because I don't know Japanese, but are the Japanese lolitas upset with SS that sell to Western lolitas as well? It seems like they're just upset with the blatant resellers who aren't lolitas at all.

If you're a Western lolita, I don't think they can know if you bought it off a reseller or not. You could have been in Japan, you could have ordered it from someone in Japan, and so on.

Usually with scuffs like that, you can get them off with some elbow grease and a wash cloth with a bit of texture. But, if they were scratched at all, as in the top layer of pleather was compromised, painting is probably your best bet. Just make sure You keep the modgepodge dry.
