Honestly she does see. Attractive, like I would ask her out to have sex woth her because I want to sex with her.
Whether she would agree or not is another fact entirely as I am still dyel body mode at this point in my life,
But. I. Will. Get . Bigger.
Anyway I would happily sex with this woman considering normally I only fuck prostitutes (it is legal here for me) last time I accident,y stabbed her in her eye with her tiara but she’s didn’t hold it against me. I made her scream with my dick though and fingering licking her.
In a couple of days it’s the weeken a d I,l go and see another one.
Pro tip, never see the same girl more than twice as it leads to a reputation that is harder to disprove, but it’s easy since my girls roster changes every week so always new girls.
Recently I’m on tinder for 7 months and only 4 matches, it might be as the year think I’m a bit since I had no profile bio and only several photos without other people. But that she life I’ve swapped you around and she is still going down the street from the church.

It's a Japanese girl, so.

There used to be a website called coordisnap that Japanese girls uploaded their coords to, including lolita coords. That's why we still call them coords. The kana for coordisnap is コーデスナップ (ko-desunappu)

ko-desunappu gets shortened to ko-de, then to kode. Code.

Actually kinda normal to see it written that way for veteran Japanese lolitas because of the site's original name. It has nothing to do with coords vs cords mistake that western newbies make.

Bottom right is cute but doesn’t fit AP’s aesthetic. It also looks like you bought it for 300 rmb from a random Taobao brand.

This many times. When I look at drawings by Ms Lutra or Maki (not AP designer) I wonder why don’t they do some sweet stuff like it was before.

Just wear "mature" pieces with it;
>DON'T wear a sailor blouse like the model; wear something with lace, maybe elbow or long sleeve and/puff sleeves that don't end too high on the arm (avoid a cap-sleeve length). >Make sure the neckline isn't scooped in any way and that it either has a lot of detail around the neck or a decorative collar.
>add an underskirt if you need to to get the hem to end at least below your knee. The extra visable layer will make it look more "complicated" and less "childish"
>wear tights or socks that end at or above the knee. Showing a bear leg with this print would lean it more towards fetish. Have fun with the leggwear in terms of color and print; try to avoid pure white.
>Shoes can be any Lolita shoe that would match, avoid any kind of "alice look" with white legwear and black shoes.
>Lastly, carry a top-handle purse. Top handle purses are old fashion and project a less childlike vibe.

Overall what I'm trying to say is that the best way not to look like ageplay is to make sure the dress's print is the most childish thing about your coord and then everything else should have a "not a little kid" look to it.

I think this dress is less about the sweet print and more the fact that it seems to be a salopette instead of a jsk. Does it have any other cuts? Although personally I think you should just say fuck it and wear it anyway and take inspo from how people coord Sweet Baby Room and avoid a bonnet.

I just go to the thrift stores and vintage stores consistently. Like, at least once or twice a month at the minimum. I often don't buy anything, but the frequency ups your changes for finding something good. It's handy to try it on in person, saves the disappointment of something coming in the mail and it not working out. Read up on laundry techniques also; the more you know about washing and treating fabric, the more likely you can tease a bit more life out of an old blouse. Sometimes the color might seem different because it's been literally collecting dust for a few decades and then you might wash it and find out it's a shade or two lighter.

We can't tell you why your commmates don't wear these brands more. Maybe they only have their finger on the pulse of brands that are more talked about by release. I could see how Johnny-come-lately's wouldn't know much about these brands since the dissolution of GLB.

I think it is an area thing, I have never seen a PD piece irl but I have seen many atelier Pierrot pieces, and own some. I don’t think you have a good sample size.

Boz admittedly is harder to get and has weird sizing but I think you can say most gothic Lolita’s own a Roland or two. There is like 2 Pierrot stuff everyone gets, the corset dress/skirt and the fully shirred dress. Miho is underrated but I think they don’t market here enough and aren’t doing anything to get the western market.Moitie is status though, so it is the top. But otherwise you need to look more carefully.

>> No.10235885

People in my home comm mostly wear sweet (AP & Chinese brands) and are young. The brands you mentioned are more popular with my older lolita friends who I rarely see in person.

I love all of these brands but here are the problems I see for each one for their popularity:
Sheglit - relatively new brand (first few years of releases were bad, they just got their stride in the past 2 years), hard to get second hand, many items are not lolita enough for cof
Atelier Pierrot - half of the items are corset laced and hard to wear/hot, the other half are pajama like not so "lolita"
Atelier Boz - very cool, but very plain, also hard to obtain, sizing is not forgiving because no shirring
Miho Matsuda - more goth than lolita, sizing was quite small until they recently released L size

One major problem with frilly, fancy, goth as I'll call these is that you need heels or platform heels for them to look good, which restricts where and whom can wear the style.

>> No.10235906

>>10235885
Gothic is much harder to wear OTT than other substyles, as well, so it's harder for a beginner lolita to justify an expensive purchase with a fairly simple design. Even AtePie's fanciest pieces are mostly decorated with ruffles, without the eye-catching prints or bright colors of sweet and classic OTT.

>> No.10235977

>>10235906
Exactly why I wish there was more emphasis on the "cute" part of gothic lolita, instead of the
"gothic" part, because it's stagnated into every plain black dress.

We need more prints and lace and cute stuff in gothic, and not just "bittersweet"

Didn't you have problems with blouses riding up as soon you raise your arms or taking away length from your sleeves?

I'm also a 42cm anon, and even with all the chinese stuff out there, it's hard to find decent blouses that fit well. Aside from that I never really bothered trying brand blouses since their sizes mostly stop around 37-38cm. Only exceptions are certain AtPie blouses with back shirring that have a standard shoulder width of 43cm. And I've also heard meta blouses are supposed to be fairly accomodating, although I lack further Information on that.

The term “aomoji kei” has been around for a while. Aomoji kei refers to styles that are influenced by trends in Harajuku which are often documented in fashion mags. Think of the difference between magazines like KERA and Zipper vs. ViVi and CanCam. KERA and Zipper are mags that feature aomoji kei whereas the style in ViVi and CanCam is akamoji kei.

It also doesn't have a strong resale value, generally, so you should only buy it with the knowledge that you probably won't make nearly that much back if you resell in future.

Beyond that, it comes down to whether or not you think it's worth the money to you, personally. It can be a bit weird the first time you really splurge on clothing, but if you think the item is high-quality, if you're willing to put in the time/expense to take proper care of it, and you believe that it will make you happy to wear for a long time to come, then it may actually be a better investment than buying several cheaper items that don't bring you as much joy and will wear out more quickly.

Is it bad that one of the reasons I am looking forward to having my daughter is that I can buy her lolita fashion(is it even considered lolita if a little girl is wearing it??)? No I don't plan on bring a kid to a meetup... Though it would be pretty awesome to have a lolita tea party with other moms and their daughters I can also see that being a hilarious disaster. I just think it would be a really cute thing to do and it would make for an epic photo album to look over in the future and she would have a nice childhood full of whimsical princess attire I never got to have growing up. It may also be a good way to teach them early on to respect their things and mind their manners.

There is a very good chance she will naturally get into it simply because mommy does it.

Oh god, I remember getting into my moms makeup as a little kid and getting into so much trouble, that and nail polish.

I feel like there could have been a compromise that could have been a good way to bond as well as help me express myself. I really looked up to her and wanted to be like her. I don't want to lock my child out of this kind of fashion because she is young and like hell I am giving up lolita just because I am having children so I know she will be exposed to it, I want to be able to help her learn how to do it the moment she displays interest.

Thats such a shame, I am sorry your family got hit with hard times like that. And yeah, those memories are so nice to look back on. What I would give to relive those days again. At least we can cherish those memories forever.

Same here. Like damn, children aren't born having a complete idea of who they are. A lot of it is learned over time, usually through their environment and the people who are in their lives. Its ok to introduce your interests to your child, if they like it they like it, if they don't they don't. It will help them discover what kind of person they are.

No, it's not, you're looking to share an interest together.

My daughter is into girly clothing on and off. Before she cared about how I dressed I tried to dress her to match just a little bit. She went through a pants only phase and rejected every cute thing I bought her and even though it made me sad I just let it be. Now if I ever go out with lolita friends and take her with me, she will specifically ask if she can dress up and look like a princess. She likes to apply make-up with me too (I usually let her use a little blush and lip gloss). And we always say to each other, "now you're pretty with make-up" (because you were pretty to begin with, without makeup, lol).

Anyway, if she wants to you can make it happen! If not, we can't hold it against our kids.

Lolita sounds horribly impractical for children who just want to roam around and explore. It also attracts a lot of attention which might not be good for their development. Just get a doll.

Not familiar with this kind of stuff but wouldn't expanding their wardrobe contribute to more content? I assume their main focus would be showing off their cords.

Maybe that's why she's hanging on to them, there's always the choice of losing weight and then being able to fit into the dresses.

I'm kind of in a similar boat, didn't realise I'd been stress eating and had gained weight. Half my wardrobe is now smaller than I can fit into, but that half has all the JetJ, Mary Magdalene, Moitie skirts and a couple of AP chocolate dresses. I really don't want to sell that half of the wardrobe, so I'm going to try and lose weight to fit back into them.

Though, I feel like she's been hoarding them for a while, I'm not sure if she's even actually making an effort to lose weight at this point.

I feel this. A year of stress eating and not having time for lolita due to trying to full-time work and study for a postgrad diploma has meant that none of my old-school fits. Thankfully it's only about 20% of my wardrobe and a lot of the rest is Meta, but it hurts to know that wearing them is at least 3 months away if I'm losing inches and weight the healthy way.
