/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have a huge folder on my computer of other peoples coordinates that I've saved. Sorted by print, specifically AP print because thats the style I like. Sometimes to avoid anxiety I will spend hours saving coordinates.

My collection sits at 801 MB, 3,000+ coordinates in 70 folders.

Wouldn't admit this outside of this thread because it is probably really creepy. I have coordinates that are a decade old from daily_lolita.

>>10328416
I actually think that's really cool anon. Thank you for sharing. I save things I like too, but my collection isn't nearly that big yet. I think it's nice to have coord ideas from other people and inspiration that you know won't be lost to the void of the internet.

>>10328413
I'm thinking of turning dragon chan into a skirt.

>>10328416
If it wasn't for online creeps, I'd ask for a share. Though I don't wear much ap.

I still miss Princess Skye. I wish I could have been her friend. I hope she is doing well, wherever she is.

>>10328541
here is a screenshot of what my folder looks like.

>>10328729
Share, anon? Honestly a fantastic idea. I usually just save anything eyecatching and only save them by skirt/dress coord

>>10328729
I would love to see what you have saved for milky berry. I’m working on my first sweet coord with that dress and would love the inspo. Are you able and willing to upload these somewhere so they can be viewed?

>>10328781
>>10328736
I don't know if I would be able to share my whole collection but I'm open to sharing individual albums, especially the smaller ones. Where could I upload it? Imgur?

>>10328416
That's amazing and not creepy at all imo. I also have an inspo folder that I save CoF coords that I really like into. It's much smaller though, because I'm extremely picky about what I save.

>>10328785
Imgur is a good idea! Thank you so much for sharing!

I don't have any interest in continuing to build my wardrobe, take photos, or any of the other EGL related hobbies I used to love due to the lack of community. It feels like there is no central place to discuss this fashion anymore and its all full of people reposting the same trash topics over and over because its not easy to find and reference larger discussions with all of the algorithms of each site pushing posts around.

>TLDR I never thought the online community of LJ effected how much I loved the fashion until I realized how much I missed posting there.

You shut your dirty mouth

>>10328785
wonder story & milky chan please, anon

>>10328729
Please share Happy Garden if you're alright with it! It's my favorite AP print

I ordered a fruits parlor op in my least favorite colorway as it was cheap and I ended up loving it so much more than my honeycake rerelease jsks. I feel guilty because I spent so long anticipating having honeycake and now I just want to coord my fruits parlor OP and buy more pink/black things when I've never liked those colors together.

>>10328840
You disgust me.

I really like wearing lolita to rap artist performances. Everyone in the public wears chains and sweatpants and im the only lace princess there!

I stumbled over an escort who is living in the US and openly promoting themselves and their prefered fetishes (literally everything the majority of the community hates) through lolita. And it's not like they're just the usual fetish ita wearing some milanoo tier shit, but properly coording their outfits, good enough to not stand out in a group shot of somewhat decent lolitas.

On one hand I feel like I shouldn't give a fuck and save my energy for other things in life. On the other I sometimes like to watch things burn and have this morbid curiosity what would happen if the word would spread, mainly if there's some community drama popping up, wondering how often things like this come out and how the community usually handles it, if there's any public reaction at all outside of cgl or if it leads into silent acceptance.

>>10328857
ribbon berry bunny is one of my smaller albums anon, i'm sorry!

>>10328729
I'm super interested in your Carnival collection if you don't mind!

>>10328794
Nayrt, but I'm swooning so much right now looking through that album.

I think you would do the community a great service if you made your collection publicly accessible through dropbox or something.

>>10328905
Here you go anon! Carnival is one of my bigger collections

>>10328908
bless you anon! it's a favorite of mine.

If a girl whose personal style I'm not fond of posts too much in CoF I end up hating her for basically no reason and then even if she posts something I do like, I refuse to like her post out of spite
idek why I'm like this because I'm normally very chill

>>10328908
thank you anon this is so inspiring

I’m looking to buy SC in black but it bothers me how washed it looks next to black background. Probably I should go for lavender. Plus it seems more popular, it makes me feel good to grab some coveted thing.

>>10328898

Same! Everyone hated "bittersweet" Colorways for so long that I was brainwashed into thinking they were strictly ita, then I saw them coorded properly. Now I'm a convert

From now on I'm just going to mumble something about not remembering where I got my dresses.

I know this is really lame and really cringey but I love wearing Lolita because it makes me feel like a cute anime girl. I have no interest in cosplay and no desire to be a copy of any character I like, but I never felt very cute or girly growing up and Lolita pulled me so far out of my comfort zone and made me feel good about myself in an almost surreal way. Cute makeup, cute clothes, cute friends, it makes me feel so happy in a way I always thought only existed in stories from series I watched.

>>10329374
my favorite jetj print is "la femme nue de la bibliothèque" because it means "the naked woman of the library". sounds like a weird porn title

>>10328413
I've asked brands to email me when a particular item is in stock and then never bought that item when it was restocked.

>>10328416
Oh wow this sounds wonderful I'd love have one myself for inspiration

>>10329387
Watching magical girl series really does give me a similar feeling, it's not just you

>>10329522
Am I the only one who thinks that SC looks pretty old fashioned for current state of lolita. Don't get me wrong, I'd grab it too if my color of choice popped up on sale. But doesn't it look too simple next to let's say Fancy Candy or something alike?

>>10329530
The style of the dress is very simple compared to cuts of more recent dresses. AP prints now are larger scale and have higher contrast, which has its pros and cons. Sugary Carnival is famous for being super washed out "pastel vomit" (personally I think jewelry jelly and dreamy dollhouse are more guilty of that)

Despite looking old fashioned it's still loved and worn often by western and japanese lolita. compared to other older prints I collect images for, sugary carnival still gets worn the most.

Requesting Melty Cream Donut and Strawberry Millefeuille

Does anyone have the original photo that this image was based off of? It feels like just yesterday when her photo was shared to an ita thread, until I remember it must have been a few years by now...

I'm an AP sweet lolita and I absolutely loathe tea parties, every single flat shoe AP has released is better than them.

Hot take: I think this print is way cuter than Melty Cream Donut.

Also, is this one of the last prints that had a true yellow colorway?

I also made a new album for milky fawn with double the images so this one >>10328903
is out of date now

I’ve sold some pieces that I really loved because they didn’t look good on my body type and I felt bad about them going unworn. They were bought by a somewhat e-famous girl in my comm who doesn’t fit into them and only uses them for flatlays. This really annoys me and I don’t want to sell her anything else that she can’t even wear, but she comes to every swap meet and is friends with the organizers who let her in early so she gets to snatch things up before anyone else. I think I’m going to skip the next swap meet and sell online.

>she can do whatever she wants with the clothes if she owns them tho!
I know, I know. But currently I still own them and I want them to be WORN, not just thrown on the floor and photographed for Instagram.

>>10328729
Anon you are amazing, I'd always wanted to do something like this but was never so dedicated. This is like a dream, thank you for sharing your collection with us!

>>10329841
I know exactly who you mean and I don't sell to her and other people for the same reasons. The "she can do whatever she wants!" cope really doesn't work here because it's hypocritical.

>>10329841
is this josine

>>10330018
doesnt she wear everything though (even if it doesnt fit)?

>>10330018
She wears her clothes and the Dutch comm only has like 1 swap meet every 2 years, organised by different people

>>10329841
Is that corecat on lacemarket

When I worked with a friend doing camming for money, we also took some pics and such to "catfish" some old guys with some nice dresses. It started as mostly a joke to trick some old horny guys. We used a lot of makeup and even some photoshop to keep her anonymous. We soon stopped after a couple guys sent several thousand to try to get her to visit them (even though she said she was only 16). Unfortunately I don't have the original pics to share, but I did keep one pair of her underwear as well as a maid costume that she wore once. I don't have it on me as I'm on break rn but I can share it next week.

>>10328900
Wowwww thank you so much!!

If someone follows me on IG and they have a higher selfie to coord ratio then I don't follow them back, no matter how much I like their style. I hate constant selfie spam.

>>10329119
What DON'T gulls shit on?

I frequently get accused of shooping my pics when in reality all I do is use filters. I take it as a compliment people think I can’t look that way irl when I actually do.

>>10331122
Aren't filters technically slight shooping? They wash out your features/flaws, I look better with them too

>>10331124
Technically yes but I’m talking about actual face/body manipulation. I have never done that but I constantly am accused of it. It’s pretty funny.

>>10331124
Yes but if you use apps that allow you to lower the filter so it’s not so harsh, it helps. I lower mine to at least 50% so my eyes aren’t giant and the eyeshadow + lipstick are faint but still there
I tried to find a particular example of someone recently using the lolita tag but this kind of works too. Don’t over do it and end up looking like a frog

>>10331141
I don’t even use the Snow ones that make your eyes bug out and give you Dorito chin, because I hate them. Just a clean up of the colors, a little bit of brightening and that’s it.

>>10331122
This has happened to me too! I even had people circle various parts on the picture that "proved" I photoshopped lol

>>10331171
Isn’t it hilarious how insecure some anons on this board are?

i vendettapost against myself to make my followers wk for me

I'm so tired of having to check all sales websites everyday. It drains so much of my energy having to open mercari, frill, yahoo, mdc, cc etc. Every single day at least twice a day. I wish my wish list pieces would just pop out

>>10331146
I’m sorry anon I wasn’t really directed it at you I just meant in general since you and another anon were discussing filters

>>10331190
Imagine if there was an option to get a notification when a certain item is listed
It would be daily bloodbaths but it would make sales much faster

>>10331198
Ouch, it would be even harder to get some pieces. I'm lucky that I don't aim to buy super popular pieces, but the downside is that the less popular ones from less popular brands sometimes seem lost forever.

>>10331190
Agreed. I don't even care to have a dream dress because of this. If I see something i like, I will buy it. I can live without having that one dream dress that probably won't suit me anyway.

>>10331190
Maybe you already do this, but you can add them all as bookmarks to a folder on your browser and then just click "open all in tabs" or drag the folder into the browser window to open them all at once. It'll retain your search keys and search settings from when you bookmarked it.

I really don't like how sweet is so popular. I don't think it encompasses the true feel of lolita, and most people who wear it are just weebs who want to look as "kawaii" as possible. I think it generally looks so tacky and ridiculous with how most people wear it.

>>10331363
I'm tired of people equating sweet with kawaii. Plenty of sweet doesn't even resemble the kawaii aesthetic. Look at meta's more realist prints and innocent world's muted, earthy palettes. Not all sweet is AP pastels.

>>10331190
It's okay to miss out on items. It's not the end of the world.

>>10329387
I feel the same way! I used to cosplay and try really hard to look cute but I always felt and looked very awkward. Like trying to look like another character instead of styling myself to look cuter with what I have never really worked. With lolita I actually feel really comfortable and cute instead of awkward plus it has helped me with looking more feminine and cute even in my normie clothes because it motivated me to practice styling my hair and makeup more which I never did before.

>>10331360
same

one of my lolita friends moved to japan around the same time i did and we went around tokyo and had a blast
her shitty boyfriend who dumped her and got back with her couldn’t find a job in japan so she was “forced” to move back and now they’re moving to some terrible state because he found work there and she has yet to find any
i really hate her boyfriend and kind of her for moving without saying anything and I asked her about hanging out months ago and she just ignored it and hasn’t replied then she just moves
we never argued or disagreed about anything so I really think it’s because her shitty boyfriend because we were close friends before

>>10331371
This.
I used to cosplay and I was only really interested in doing the normal clothes versions which were not really recognizable. Getting into Lolita made me realize I didn't want to dress like a character, I just wanted to wear cute clothes and look cute.
I just like obnoxious clothes.

I like lolita because looking at old street snaps gives me such a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Those girls look so cool, happy and carefree. I wish I had good friendships or a bestie to wear lolita with, to hang out together, not giving a fuck about guys, other people's opinion, politics and all other awful adult things, instead eat tons of sweets and shitty food, try out cute and fun places, cafes and shops, take lots of pics, then go to the cinema or a vk concert in the evening,...
Having to work is not part of my fantasy lol

You’re so nice, anony!

A lolita I follow is super cringy online (maybe she's less IRL) and acts like she's roleplaying as Misako and desu it's very offputting. Maybe it's a joke?

I've been losing weight recently without changing anything about my diet or exercising. I was around 110 lbs for years but a few months ago I was 102 and now I'm down to 98. I know I should probably be worried for my health but I'm secretly happy about it, I look so much cuter in my coords now! I even want to lose more, and it's not like I would have to change anything for that to happen.

Something like this exist for Mercari, Fril, Y!A and Mbok. But it didn’t really work well. I wish I could remember the name.

i do this too, to the point i wonder if i have an internet addiction

>>10332478
This kind of stuff can't work because loads of items are listed without their full name, especially if it's a solid or otherwise not particularly unique looking

My confession is that despite wearing lolita for six years now, I don't have that big of a wardrobe or own much brand. I would say my wardrobe is roughly 50% brand, 30% Bodyline, and the rest being taobao or indie in terms of main pieces, and almost all my blouses and accesssories are offbrand.

On one hand I feel like I'm not doing it "right" sometimes, but I can't justify spending money on lolita if there's more pressing things that come up, and right now I'm at a point where I love all of my main pieces a lot and I would rather invest a bit of money into more blouses and accessories so I can get more out of them. But then I also feel so out of sync when I see so many nice new releases come out but I hardly get hyped for them because I know I couldn't seriously consider buying any right now anyway. And while I have a dream piece or two, I've almost completely stopped looking. Is this even a proper confession? Should I have just left it at the first paragraph? Should I put this in the feel thread? idk lol.

>>10332454
Kawaii tapeworm desu

Idk if that's a confession or unpopular opinion. I don't like getting gifted with brand, especially more expensive one. It feels less of a status piece when I didn't get it by my own.

>>10332455
Trying to emulate her writing style, talks about her fans, but is vague about exact things. It just comes across as like.. robotic and fake? It's difficult to describe outside of just bizarre.

>>10332470
Yes.

This happened to me before I was diagnosed with diabetes

>>10332563
Don't compare yourself to other people. It sounds like you'll get more happiness from creating new ways to wear your current main-pieces.

>>10332454
Thyroid problem

I post here but I've never worn lolita and never plan to

I wish taobao didn’t exist. I’m not one of those people who thinks brand items are the epitome of quality, but compared to brand all the taobao pieces I’ve owned have always had SOMETHING off about them - the proportions are off, the fabric is flimsy or doesn’t feel like it was made to be garment fabric, the printing or stitching is bad, whatever. Sometimes it’s kind of subtle, but it’s always there. Now lacemarket is flooded with these garish plastic bag dresses instead of nice things, and I feel like it cheapens the fashion as a whole. Would honestly rather see a newbie in handmade - even bad handmade - any day of the week, at least that show some sort of commitment.

>>10332619
I mean, there's good taobao and bad taobao. I've gotten good quality pieces from there before (though not the exact same quality as brand) as well as costume-tier shit. You just need to know which stores are the good ones, it's not a monolith.

>>10332639
>I've gotten good quality pieces from there before (though not the exact same quality as brand)
aka there is something off about them, as always

>>10332639
"good" quality or not, the designs are completely ugly and tasteless 99% of the time,

>>10332639
I guess I might have been unclear. I’m not saying I wish all taobao shops didn’t exist, it’s more that I wish taobao as a platform didn’t exist. If the decent taobao shops had been freestanding lolita indie brands, that would’ve been fine. I dislike the whole concept of taobao with shops popping up, churning out crap to make a quick buck and then closing. I want lolita to take time and effort, and to only be monetized by those who have an actual interest in it.

>>10332640
I wouldn't call it "off." It's just that it's likely to be poly instead of cotton and have cheaper, more plain lace/designs.

>>10332643
Again, really depends on the store. Ones like Infanta and Magic Tea Party have classy, pretty prints.

>>10332423
Would you gulls go puke in the bathroom after eating sweets and shitty food just to fit better in your clothes? Be honest.

>>10332619
This. I've NEVER seen a taobao main piece I liked. It's not a bias because I have the same reaction even before I know it's taobao (at least I did when I wasn't as familiar with brand to be able to recognize it most of the time). Like why not just get bodyline at least and still have decent-looking stuff?

>>10332656
You wouldn't call it that, but we would. And most of my Moitie is poly too.

>>10332702
Bodyline is worse quality than a lot of Taobao...

>>10332679
Most lolitas don't need to, they are naturally thin with high metabolisms. If you're fat gtfo.

>>10332726
Asians yes, whites no. Whites have horrible metabolisms.

>>10332679
It's not worth having rotted teeth and puffy cheeks.

>>10332712
Not taking into consideration that there are good quality ones out there just makes you sound like you hate that poor people have options in lolita, honestly

>>10332639
I don't shop from taobao anymore (except for shoes). It's annoying how people act like "taobao" is an entire entity. it's a collection of stores and various brands.

>>10332745
This is probably the dumbest racial generalization I’ve read on cgl, and that’s saying something

>>10332584
I figured that was her. She’s delusional as fuck and also really shady.

>>10332764
People act like that because it's how the shops act. They don't have a recognisable style the way other lolita brands have, and they randomly close down only to start again under a different name. Bodyline and fan plus friend are also ugly and cheap but they get called by their own name because they have actual shops outside a platform like taobao.

>>10332745
I'm asian with an awful metabolism

I've said this before and it's still on my mind. I want to sell my entire lolita wardrobe to buy MILKBOY. But I feel like it's too normie to spend so much money on. I can spend a lot of money on lolita because I feel like it's special and there's a lot more fabric.. It has ruined all other clothing styles for me.

>>10332768
how many east asian countries have high rates of obesity?
how many white-majority countries have high rates of obesity?

>>10332833
And that of course has everything to do with their metabolism and not the types of food they eat

>>10332833
How many east Asian countries measure their obesity rates on the same scale as white countries

>>10332809
Same but with Listen flavor
They've got some killer designs

>>10332859
At least they're cheaper, especially on the secondhand market

>>10332447
MA is absolutely even more cringy IRL lmao. She goes around calling herself “model-san” and if you don’t kiss her ass she’ll badmouth you to everyone she knows. She’s also pro Ana scum

>>10332809
I'm considering selling a bunch of my lolita to buy ETC. Not as drastic a change, but similar feels

>>10332454
That honestly sounds concerning if you haven't been dieting or exercising.

Spiralled back into severe depression, haven’t worn the fashion in almost a year. I can’t even call myself a lolita at this point. I know I’m going to lose it if I just sell all of it and quit, on the off chance I manage to live through this, rediscover the joy the fashion once brought me and have all of my beloved pieces gone. Has anyone had similar experiences or am I alone in this?

>>10332797
The worthwhile shops do have a specific look/style though, and those ones are usually the ones worth shopping at. And they will be more expensive too, of course. For example, Ecailles de Lune is good quality (I own Forest of Pipe Organ from them). The fabric is a lovely chiffon, print is crisp, the (chemical lace) is nice and the construction is solid. In comparison, Secret of Kells from Knight Night feels much cheaper (the fabric is not chiffon, it's that generic poly anons complain about) and the print is kinda blurry. I don't regret the purchase and I still love the dress, but it's certainly not my nicest piece lol. As far as the brand goes, IIRC Ecailles de Lune it started as an offshoot of Krad Lanrette? I think it was called Dark Box at that time, then the designer split off, left Krad/Dark Box and created the new brand. And they've been around for a little while now. Infanta, Surface Spell, and all those have also been around for a while, have fairly distinct design sensibilities, and also have decent quality.

I've been tempted to get some cheaper dresser the same way I sometimes get Bodyline (for occasions when I don't want to worry about my brand) and from what I've observed of dresses comm members have purchased around the $25-50 price range, the low price shows when you do a direct comparison. These shops tend to have the super generic prints, cartoonish prints, lower end materials, etc. I don't blame some people (esp newbies) for wanting to buy up multiple cheap dresses to quickly create a wardrobe, but the result isn't going to look the best. But it's not all shops that act like this, just people who are hoping to make a quick buck off the lolitas who are looking for something cheap. So I totally get what you mean. Taobao is giving those people a platform to advertise and sell their crappy stuff, so...I wish it was a big easier to tell newbies to "go to taobao" but even then the nicer stuff is pricier, which can be a tough pill to swallow.

>>10332956
Are they really beloved if you haven't worn them for almost a year?
Regardless, I feel like half of the former lolita community is going through what you feel right now as they grow older, you are not alone. But I do think you should stop clinging to lolita and concentrate on treating your depression instead.

>>10332956
I'm in a very similar boat anon, depression is a dumb bitch I tell ya. I am so tired of looking at my dresses that I KNOW should be sparking joy...like, there's a ghost of a spark when I touch the fabrics or think about wearing them but I feel semi-transparent right now and I'm too detached from myself right now to even consider it. I won't give up fighting though, this shit has done way too much good in my life to let it go, I just need to ride out this storm.

>>10332679
Bulimics tend to be average looking or overweight, it's hard to purge all of what you eat. Please just be healthy, do it for the brand

>>10332962
>I'm too detached from myself right now to even consider it
Just put the fabric on?

>>10332968
bitch I can barely get out of bed in the morning let alone change out of my pajamas, do a full face of make up, do my hair, and put on nice shit
if you've never dealt with depression like this you really have no room to make suggestions so, shoo.

>>10332992
>>10332956
Maybe storing your lolita stuff and trying out a new fashion or going on vacation for a little bit could help? I haven't dealt with depression that affected my hobbies to this extent, but maybe you're in a feedback loop of not being able to wear lolita. Perhaps you could temporarily cut off yourself as a system shock and then come back strong with a purchase of a new blouse?

>>10332679
honestly, i've tried this in the past. but i'm one of those people who doesn't throw up 'pretty' i guess? my nose and eyes get red and start watering and I end up looking like I was in the bathroom crying, it's not like I can just do it and stroll away looking all fresh and shit. idk how real bulimics do it t.b.h

>>10332965
It's actually because it messes up your blood sugar levels. People often times end up hungry again. Plus, most bulimics just throw up junk food. The one's who do end up skelly and fucked up.
And yes this is from personal experience.

>>10332956
That's why consistent psych sessions are important for people. You don't end up bedbound over night. Depression habits creep up without you noticing. Psych sessions are supposed to help you notice early signs.

>>10332992
The way to get out of depression ruts is to start small and work your way to having a functional day. Start of with basic hygiene and proper sleep habits, then move to healthier eating habits. And then you can start aesthetics. If one day you say fuck it, then try again the next day

>>10332508
Yeah that is what I forgot to add, like it doesn’t work because you don’t know how someone will write down the title. I had to make several separate keywords I wanted to receive notifications for. But they were all more broad, so they wouldn’t help for very specific items.

>>10331362
I used to do this for girls in my comm because I also like to browse but I got so sick of finding a dress they want in good condition at a reasonable price and them cheaping out and saying “wow $75 for black and white shirring princess, that’s way too much, I’d only pay half that.” Why was I even looking if you’re only willing to pay a fraction of market value

>>10333010
The more you do it the better you get at throwing up “pretty.” Now when I throw up I don’t budge a hair. Trying to get every last bit out is what does it, but also you kinda learn to relax your chest so it all opens up instead of tensing up and straining your face muscles. Not trying to encourage you, just trying to be honest. I know it’s terrible for me and has caused irritation in my throat.
I do it occasionally (maybe once a week) not because I want to lose weight (well I do just not that way) but more just that I wear a lot of tight fitting clothes and if I accidentally eat too much I hate walking around feeling too stuffed. Happens usually at restaurants where the portions are huge. I eat fast so I don’t feel full until a few minutes after I stop eating. I’ve tried so many times to eat slower, I just can’t. I’ve always hated eating slow and I can’t resist the urge to swallow my food after 2 or 3 chews. I even swallow gum.

>>10333010
As someone who was bulimic for a decade, that's what happened each time to me too. You literally just don't give a shit. It's more important to throw up than look "pretty". Thankfully I don't do it anymore. It wasn't fun at all and didn't really help too much because it got to the point I was binging just to puke. Puking fucks up your electrolytes and makes you feel high as fuck, so when I'd get stressed or feel any overwhelming emotion I'd get anxious and binge just to purge. It stopped being about losing weight and just became about numbing myself.

>>10332874
You can wear most of ETC as lolita

>>10332745
It's not the metabolism, the the high calorie, meat centered diet with low fiber in addition to all the processed foods we eat killing the diversity in out gut biodome. Your metabolism accually speeds up as you gain waight. It requires more food to maintain a large body than a small one, that's why obese people consume such a massive amount of food.

>>10332656
I’m on your side that taobao dresses generally feel and look like cheap garbage in comparison but the only brand I know of still consistently making cotton dresses is baby and that’s only a fraction of their releases in a year.

My computer has been broken for the better part of a year and I haven’t gotten it fixed simply because I’ll allocate the money necessary and just buy second hand brand instead. I’ve been doing this for five dresses now and even though my friends are mad I don’t play video games with them anymore I couldn’t be happier.

>>10332992
I have been diagnosed with depression at the age of 10. I know what it feels like and I'm not talking about going out and putting on make-up, I'm talking about literally just putting a dress on. It's not some kind of high level wizard magic especially not if you have enough energy to get out of bed.

>>10333134
Nayrt but when I was going through a depressive episode and “just put on” one of my lolita dresses after not wearing lolita for over a year (and being an unwashed, disheveledmess), it just confirmed to me that I was an unredeemable ugly wretch who didn’t deserve to own nice things and that I should probably just end it all and be done with it. My partner had to physically stop me from stuffing my entire lolita wardrobe in garbage bags and donating them to a charity shop.
Maybe putting a dress on will make anon feel better, or maybe it will make her feel worse. Only anon (or hopefully, her therapist?) can tell which is more likely.

I've been in the fashion and wearing it for years but I'm so insecure that I still obsessively browse the ita threads on here whenever I post any photos of myself anywhere online because I'm convinced everybody thinks I look disgusting.

>>10333166
so stop posting pics online then

>>10332716
Maybe but taobao caters toward tacky Chinese tastes, Bodyline caters more towards westerners’ tastes

>>10332833
The places in East Asia that have adopted western diets have increasing obesity rates as well

>>10328413
I'm not sure if I'm into the fashion as much as I was in the past.
I've been following lolita only for a short while, and started collecting pieces for it a year ago. I think I spent around ~$3k even though I only have one "brand" piece (AP whip factory). I don't really regret spending all the money but I kind of regret the choice of pieces because when I look at them now, I don't feel that strongly about them the way I did at the beginning (I think I only really like three dresses I have now, Summer Fairy's Monet print, Dear Celine's Little Witch, and Emily Temple Cute's patisserie print).
I just feel like there's a lot to consider when you wear lolita which is fun, like opening up the options to coordinate but things like really hot weather, having abnormally small feet and needing comfortable shoes, rain and so on, makes it really difficult.
I think I only wore lolita out to public three times and sadly, I honestly doubt that I'll get to wear them any more. I think it's also getting a little too expensive of a lifestyle for me. I'm thinking of selling all my lolita items except the aforementioned dresses.
I don't know how I feel about lolita anymore because every time I see a more simple dress or a dress inspired by campus wear (I'm currently a student) I still want them because I MIGHT wear them, but I decide against getting them because I don't have the headwear for it, or the shoes.
I could just leave the fashion but I have already been so invested in the fashion I feel like all the time and money I spent into it would have been a waste.
So.. what now?

>>10333227
Most pieces will sell at a loss

>>10333229
I'm very much well aware. But I don't want them to sit in my room unworn when someone could really want them and give them a regular wear.

>>10333227
I felt like that for my first couple years. Every time I wanted to go to a meet or even just wear lolita out I picked out a main piece and then realized there were factors that were preventing me from really creating a coord. Like you said, the weather, the supposed theme of the meet, the colors or shaped the accessories, cardigans, etc were off and didn’t go together like I thought they would, or just something. What got me through it was going online and just buying lots and bundles of secondhand accessories. I ended up getting a bunch of junk in those lots amongst the gold but it taught me what to look for in versatile accessories. Now I can buy new because I know exactly what will work. But seriously I have like 5 different black head bows (as an example) because you don’t realize how the subtle differences will affect things until you try to reuse the same basic black bow again and again and it looks off and then you get frustrated and just put on normie clothes. Sell all of your main pieces except for the three you really love and reinvest that money in a ton of accessories. It takes way way more than you think to be able to build a coord stress-free and wear lolita on the spur of the moment.

>>10333241
Same anon, and I don’t just mean accessories, I also mean shoes and blouses

I don't like calling myself "a lolita." I wear lolita, yes, but why does that mean I *am* something? I'm me, not "a lolita." I feel like calling ourselves lolitas gives us an identity to attach to ourselves, and I don't think you should make an identity out of your clothes. It just feels like an extension of a persona or costume, and don't we hate being associated with those? You can want to adhere to the lolita aesthetic, but honestly at this point wtf does that even mean other than just wearing lolita? If "being a lolita" literally only takes wearing lolita to qualify, why can't we just say we wear lolita rather than "we ARE lolitas"? People who wear decora or fairy kei don't say they are "decoras" or "fairy keis" or whatever the hell.

>>10333262
They do the same thing in the punk community. It’s fairly annoying because my gf calls herself a punk and it is such a part of her identity she won’t do certain activities or wear things she likes because it doesn’t match the punk identity she’s imposed on herself. I think she’s low key embarrassed by my lolita, not in regular day to day life but to her punk friends because it doesn’t match that identity. Punks are self destructive about it too, to the point where they won’t get better jobs or live in a nicer place even if they can because it’s “selling out”. I’ve even heard punks baking fun of other punks and calling them “house punks” in a derogatory way because they have a job and pay rent. At least it’s not that bad with lolita

>>10333227
I have some advice for this, since I was in the same place at a point. Just make sure to keep a full coord that is versatile. Basically, you might have a day where you want to look good and lolita on campus, but don't wanna commit to something crazy. Just buy a couple versatile accessories after selling everything you need to. If you one day go out wearing that coord it might inspire you to come back to lolita.
However, you're in a time of your life where lolita isn't financially practical and that's alright. You don't have to give up on it forever, and if one day you decide to go back to it, that's alright too. Do what's best for you right now.

>>10333134
everyone experiences depression differently.

>>10332467
Same anon, I've given up hope. Feels fuckin bad.

>>10333353
It took several weeks and I think two attempts when I joined my comm. mods are probably busy regular people so it might have slipped through the cracks. Also try changing your profile pic to a pic of you in lolita, especially if your account is private. They’re trying to protect their comm from weirdos, remember.

>>10333353
ayrt — it’s a long shot but what city?

Has anyone else reached a point where they just don't fucking care anymore?

You care about yourself and your own coordinates, but if something isn't perfect, it's not a big deal, just find something that works better later. You stopped posting your coords everywhere and just enjoy wearing it with friends or to events and have a good time.

People who talk a lot about drama just don't interest you. Newbs will make newb mistakes. Itas will be ita. You've seen it all and you don't fucking care because it's old news.

The only time you tend to care about drama is when it's a massive community-wide issue. Examples: Anime Matsuri, the recentish Chinese scalpers, fetishists ruining everything, etc. But on an individual basis? You don't give a shit and it's tiresome.

Let's talk about meetup locations, or your favorite releases, or something you enjoy about the fashion. I don't care that Ashleeeigh from Kansas is wearing her bonnet backwards and swears by wish dot com for her sissy socks. This is where I'm at now.

>>10333358
Oh, mine is a province in Canada. Probably not the same one.

>>10332679
Honestly, I've tried to a few times, but I'm apparently physically incapable of inducing vomiting. I'm glad I dodged the bullet.

>>10333103
Sounds fine to me. Keep putting your happiness first, anon. Happiness is precious.

>>10333361
That sounds suspiciously like maturity anon, what are you doing on 4chan?

>>10333344
That's partly right, but telling yourself putting on a dress is an impossible task and lowkey gloating with what you supposedly can't do because of your depression sure doesn't help.

>>10333387
Larping. Posting that here already proves the opposite of what they describe.

I'm 17 bmi and I still feel too fat to look good in lolita or am fat by Japanese standards.

>>10333401
do you work out? maybe you're just soft, not fat.

Every main piece I own that's not a dream dress is only there to help me cope with not owning my dream dresses. I wish they would pop up already so I could sell these!

>>10333269
Idk if the punks I know are rare, but they definitely don’t live like this. Of course it has an identity to it, but it’s more about being transgressive in general and being against capitalism, usually into anarchism. Having to follow strict rules for anything doesn’t look very punk for me, your girlfriend friends look like a bunch of nostalgic gatekeepers that consider themselves punks because of some kind of status, but I don’t know them and might be wrong.

When I see people wear misty sky all I see is the cover of infinite jest

>>10333421
>nostalgic gatekeepers
Describes hardcore punks pretty accurately

>>10333401
Sounds like you have a totally fucked up mental image of what "fat" is. There's no way a BMI of 17 is "too fat" for lolita, no matter what your weight distribution is like.

I don’t have a dream dress and can’t really relate to that feeling but I like to go on the dream dress thread and find ideas of dresses that would be fun to hunt down and buy because I like the thrill of victory of having won a piece others want. Not for status, I don’t really wear or post pics of most of them because I don’t like people knowing how well off I am, I don’t want to be treated like the rich one by people. But at least I will sell them all eventually, I’m not really into hoarding. Probably in a couple years.

>>10333134
unless your meds (and just not giving a shit or eating right) have made you gain enough weight that none of your dresses fit anymore.
then you're even more depressed than before.

>>10333361
welcome to the club anon! congrats on leveling up!

>>10333421
>>10333428
the worst thing is that being a gatekeeper isn't what punk's all about. It's about uniting with others and loving each other and joining together to yell about how much the government sucks

>>10333432
You're trying way too hard.

>>10333507
I feel like I've heard that sort of statement before somewhere.

>>10332679
Okay, drama llama. You could just fast you know, instead of:
1. Wasting resources. A lot of material and energy goes into making sweets and junk food, not to mention the packaging. You're a plague on the environment for ingesting stuff you have no intention of keeping down.
2. Wasting money on that stuff when you could be saving for a DD.
3. Ruining your teeth.
4. Risking barf hitting your expensive frilly burando or some other dodgy shit in a public toilet.
5. Smelling like a sloppy drunk.
Try fasting instead of being a goddamn idiot.

I WANT TO DRESS IN GOTHIC SO BADLY
It'd probably suit me way better than sweet but I'm afraid to make the move...

>>10332679
no, i make myself keep it down so i have the memory of nausea and heartburn as a reminder to not fuck up again. it's a signal from my body.

>>10328416
I do the same, except that I mainly use it with dresses that I recognize, especially if the dresses are the same as the dresses in my wardrobe.

>>10333241
I have about 60 main pieces and about 45 blouses and boleros and always have something to throw on quickly. It often isn't something that I would post anywhere but it's still lolita

>>10332679
No, I don't have fitting issues with my clothes nor have I with my alimentation. It's better to eat healthy all the time and allow yourself to indulge on sweets from time to time with moderation and education.

>>10329369
I actually like bittersweet because the prints really pop.

>>10332745
Americans no*

>>10333559
britain and southern europe are pretty fat.

>>10332679
Yes.

>>10333512
because it's true! real punks who are younger and not so jaded and bitter are excited to meet new people! I decided to hit up a a show on a whim while I was wearing athleisure and made like 4 friends that night

>>10333582
wholesome

>>10333535
Barf in a plastic bag, dump in toilet, rinse mouth out with water and baking soda if possible+ pop in some gum/listerine strips. You should avoid washing your teeth for 30min after vomiting. It actually helps slow the tooth decay if you follow this method. Spritz of perfume and nobody around you is any the wiser you’re slowly killing yourself.

>>10332679
Not so I could fit in my clothes, but because I’m mentally ill. Not worth it just to stay “thin”

>>10333596
Brushing not washing* having brain fog is also a consequence of an ED

>>10333262
I can relate. I wear the fashion but hesitate to call myself "a lolita". Maybe because I'm lone-lita? But I generally have very little in common with other lolitas beside the fashion itself and don't really consider myself "one of them" idk it's hard to put in to words really but I really don't identify with "being a lolita".

>>10333536
I identify with this image and post to an embarrassing degree

>>10333596
Wtf. No. Are you retarded walking around with baggies of white powder?

>Punks are self destructive about it too, to the point where they won’t get better jobs or live in a nicer place even if they can because it’s “selling out”
What a bunch of idiots

>>10333600
>~not like other lolitas~

the girl who first got me into the fashion in 2013 acted like such an elitist bitch and would bully me for being new, but she only ever wore one coord and one wig. as fast as i know, she never bought any other coords, but continued to try to "mentor" newbies into the comm via bullying. she'd be so angry to see my closet now.

also she posted compliments/criticism about herself to btb years back and i'm still the only one who knows she did it :)

>>10334347
they're forcing themselves to vomit, of course they're retarded

>>10334387

>>10334833
Start coughing really loudly wherever you go and make sniffling/snorting noises

>>10334833

Use it to your advantage.

Honestly lolita will make you and your "other"ness stand out anyways so you might as well just go all out.

Thread is almost dead so I hope no one sees this.

>use to live in LA
>AX 2017
>last day
>get invited to a hotel party
>a few lolitas are there
>one of them is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. the moment I saw her I knew I could fall in love with her. She had a smile that could make a grown man cry. My eyes focused on her lips as she talks, the softest and most delicate thing in the world, its not even fit to exist on this cruel planet. The way her pale skin and rosey cheeks contrast her colorful outfit. The way her slim legs wrapped in white stockings travelled up her poofy dress (AP romantic rose) . I want her to have my children.
>usually (especially back then) I'd never dream of approaching such being. But i was just the perfect level of drunk and courageous that night
>wait until shes alone and strike as shes getting herself a drink
>my autism doesn't kick in and end up having a great convo with her
>chat with her the rest of the night and end up walking her back to her room.
>we end up making out for an hour until her friends drag her back to her room
>we exchange numbers


>I'm in a relationship
>yes I'm a pos
>realize it and ghost lolita gorl despite me not being happy with my current relationship and wanting to get to know LG more
>I know if we keep talking she will ask for my social media and she will find out I had a gf and she will know I'm a pos


>a few months later I move to austin and incidentally break up with gf
>lonely af in Austin and start creeping on LGs instagram.
>make fake insta account
>pretend I'm lolita and dm her about her ax17 coord
>gives me a list of everything shes wearing
>not really interested but I enjoy talking to her, even like this.
>find out she has a bf now
>devastated
>become obsessed with recreating her
>buy her entire coord for some reason (not from her, sourced individually)


>years later I still have it and have tried to get partners to dress up in it, to limited success.

>>10334870
Creepy as fuck

>>10334877
You think?

this ugly ass ita tried to steal my boyfriend once and almost succeeded
>she's into ddlg and has multiple daddies (including a neckbeard with orange teeth that gives 0 shit about her) and she's desperate for male attention
>she didn't even like my bf, she just saw that we were going through a very rough phase and manipulated him to get her precious male approval
if i see that slut again i'll rip her head off

>>10334946
expose her on lolcow

>>10334947
i might honestly. she's a terrible person and i don't wan't her to hurt an other person

>>10334814
I posted about them previously in a different thread but my comm also has a few self appointed “newbie mentors” who are ita as fuck themselves and, despite throwing a fit whenever they get any semblance of criticism themselves, are total condescending bullies with their own brand of “helpful advice”. I’m pretty sure at least one of them selfposts to the ita thread because she always whines and fishes for compliments on FB almost immediately after she’s posted. I’d wonder if we’re talking about the same person except she does have more than one coord and I don’t think she was into lolita in 2013.

>>10334946
Lol, you can't "steal" men or manipulate them into cheating on the women they supposedly love. Fuckboy did that willingly, he allowed himself to be taken away from you. Your bf is just as much a piece of shit (if not more) as that girl.

>>10334976
This, she should be angry with him too. He's worse than the girl is imo.

>>10334983
>>10334976
oh i was furious with him and i'm still mad about it. i probably should've dumped him but i didn't at the time and now time has passed and he has learned his lesson.
They didn't do anything inappropriate either (never said they loved each other or even flirted) but he almost dumped me for her because she tried to convince him that things would be easier with her (lol). I understand being confused about your own feelings but that was still a shitty move.

>>10334989
I hope he realizes he's a lucky guy, not everyone is so forgiving and understanding.

>>10334989
sorry for double posting, but think i should clarify some things: the reason why i still fucking hate her is that:
1) she 100% knew what she was doing and actively tried to participate in the destruction of my relationship even though she knows exactly how much it means to me (and not even out of genuine love for my bf)
2) she never apologized (my bf did and genuinely feels terrible about what happened) and probably still does the same shit to other people to this day.

>>10334992
Try talking to your bf on that matter. There’s a big chance that he sees through how inadequate she is.

>>10335001
i think he understands now, and i don't really like bringing it up with him because it's a very sensitive subject. it's been a year, i'm basically over it now

>>10334968
I'm a eurofag so I'm pretty sure we aren't talking about the same person. It's a shame there's more than one bitch like this though :/

>>10334833
normies dont even look at print details

i wish egl was still around/active. i used to scalp the fuck out of shit and take advantage of unsuspecting noobs.

Lolita dressies hide diapers really well.

>>10335276
Just do this on LM. Newbs still exist, and they're afraid to shop elsewhere. Facebook sales is even better.
