>>10619391
A sick part of me wants it.

>>10619393
This has an 80s jpop idol feel to it. I like it but not as lolita.

meme dog is le funny

I thought and still think this is ugly, but I saw my friend wear it and it's stuck in my mind ever since. Something's appealing about how over the top trashy it is.

>>10619402
when you got a tea party with elon. so ita. much wow.

>>10619393
This dress is so ugly and I think I want it.

>>10619403
It's the dedication for me. Is ugly? Yes. But it knows it's ugly and doesn't care.

>>10619403
I love this dress, it's on my top tier of wants. It looks like it could be super versatile but also challenging, like really easy to be a cluster. Every time I have found it for sale it's been damaged.

My brain knows this dress is an ugly mess. My heart does not care.

>>10619403
I love the high waisted jsk of that print, would look great in a more gyaru styled outfit too

It's soufflesong so the quality will be shit. There's a review saying the fabric is cheap and shiny. But I still think the stock photos are pretty.

I love all these overdesigned Qi lolita dresses. It is costumey? Yes. Am I gonna look like a fucking cosplayer or like I was transplanted straighted from Nikki? Yes. Does it matter? No, it just makes my soul happy somehow.

>>10619402
show up to your friends house who lost $$$ to dogecoin in this and hum omenously about his sins

AP Lovely Bathroom OP. I own it, I know it looks like a mumu your great aunt or grandma owns and I don't care, it has my heart

>>10619570
Fuck forgot the pic

>>10619393
Ohno i think i love it

>>10619447
I've seen this one IRL, it's not *as* bad but it still looks pretty cheap

>>10619571
i mean same tho.

>>10619422
it's like a tackier lost in sea blue

>and that dress was tacky as hell

All the dresses so far make my rational side recoil, but my heart is going doki doki.

Girly Leopard is hideous but I dream of adding it to my wardrobe rotation daily.

>>10619592
Same, I just want a reason to incorporate leopard into lolita because I'm a slut for leopard print in my normie wear

>>10619391
>>10619393
reminds me of pic rel

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a4/be/bd/a4bebd28faa1f38ec4793444540d6270.jpg

It's so ita but I love it! I wish I could buy it someday!

>>10619713
>Links a photo
Newfag detected. Jesus christ. Do you realize you're on an image board?

>>10619532
Dang, I love this shit too. The collar/cape on that dress especially appeals to me.

For me it's this bad boy.
In fact, as a toxofag, I love the fact that it looks like cat ears from the front.

This. I know its its but its pretty

>>10619739
*ita

>>10619716
Thank you for reminding me. You are wonderful! Here is the picture you are searching for.

>>10619728
I feel a similar way about it.

>>10619422
>>10619532
I was just looking at these two yesterday and thinking "fuck, am I an ita at heart?"

>>10619532
Fuck this one is pretty

>>10619739
The design looks like it was copied from a Baby dress that didn’t look that bad.

>>10619391
I don't care how i want it now

>>10619747
Oh no I fucking love this

I hate that I love this so much.

>>10619422
i havent kept up with ap releases since the early 2010s and was thoroughly shook when i saw the watermark. everything from the print to the tailoring to the material choices looks like no-name taobao

>>10619946
It’s really nice in person. Taobao never had that level of detailing in trims, quality of shirring and corset lacing, and high quality chiffon that doesn’t rip when you look at it

This one is almost the opposite; I love this print (I'm a slut for star/constellation prints) except I can't get over the fact that the horse's legs are broken.

Still I'll probably buy this dress one day, but god damn I can't get over that stupid horse anatomy.

>>10620017
Do you know the name?

>>10620022

It is called "Twinkle Constellation and the Stars of Confeito" though some people just refer to the dress as "Twinkle Constellation". It's by Baby the Stars Shine Bright.

>>10619944
I own this anon. It's incredibly comfortable and coords casually really nicely.

>>10620024
thanks anon! Its pretty

>>10619946
I would not be surprised if they did it to compete with the Chinese market

>>10620017
Just pretend it's a QWOP/CLOP dress.

>>10619728
Big nostalgia vibes. Remember when Lolita was basically who could stick the largest thing to their head ?

>>10619592
It’s weirdly rare and expensive in Japan too lmao

>>10619592
I think I saw it on LM this morning, godspeed anon

I know nazis are ita but stilllllllll

>>10620180
They aren't. The west just has a hate boner for Nazis. Japan doesn't care and understands the military uniforms were very aesthetic.

>>10620183
even the west understands that. i wonder if lolitas realize that hugo boss, a high-end suit company that's still very popular, designed those...

>>10620185
I’m pretty sure that’s common knowledge
>>10620180
Tbh looking at it I def don’t get nazi vibes. Pretty sure this is all just a big sjw over reaction. I can’t think of anyone who’d ACTUALLY be offended by this dress, or even make the connection. Just kinda looks like some trinity blood cosplay or something.

>>10620187
It's actually clearly more closely modeled after imperial japanese military uniforms, but SJWs will never admit something like that.

>>10620180
I have never wanted anything more

>>10620187

> i def don't get nazi vibes

are you insane

>>10620185
How many lolitas buy from or care about Hugo Boss though?

>>10620180

also it's named after Die Walkure - the opera with Ride of The Valkyries in it. As in the song famous for being from Birth of a Nation, written by Wagner, an extreme antisemite, BELOVED by the actual wwii-era Nazi regime? like what is GOING ON here

the fucking luftwaffe hat. i can't get over it.

>>10620267
>i can't get over it.
Maybe you should speak to your therapist, anon. It's just a hat, it can't hurt you.

>>10620297
Imagine how upset these people are over antisemitism, yet not fighting to do anything against it IRL besides BLACK POWER. Fucking SJWs look for anything to be upset and don't realize the hypocrisy in their actions. They don't give a F about Nazis, they just want to compare everyone to them.

>>10620183
>The west just has a hate boner for Nazis
Anon there's a good reason behind that you retard.
I'll agree die walkure is very cute though

>>10620297
Go ahead anon, wear the OP and the hat and see how it goes for you in public if you wanna wear it so bad

>>10620183
>The west just has a hate boner for Nazis

Won't someone please think of the poor Nazis!!??

>>10620180
Sucks because it's cute. the hat not so much kek

>>10620180
If you just got a plain hat it would be fine

>>10619728
the ear placement is so funny to me

>>10620187
>>10620198
while i have no problem with military lolita and think this dress is cute, this is very obviously intended to have nazi vibes. i do think if you leave the hat off you can get away with it looking generic military though.

>>10619393
>>10619391
this is cute wym. seiko matsuda type dress

>>10620422
>>10620410
Seriously think for yourself for a moment. You probably don't give a shit about white people, so stop pretending. SJWs are full of illogical fallacies left and right.

>>10620416
I have, it went fine.

stop replying to bait and post ugly dresses

I can't decide if this is an eye sore or gorgeous

>>10620739
I really liked that one myself to be honest. The layers of the square skirts with the ruffles are just so pretty..

>>10620739
wow this is pretty much the perfect example of why I dislike most taobao dresses, it's so busy. I guess whether that is a good or bad thing depends on your taste though

>>10620267
Nazi aesthetics are a legit part of their propaganda, it's no coincidence their uniforms are so recognizable to this day. I'm both concerned and suspicious of people who seeing this still want to defend it. It's literally listed in secondhand jp sites described as nazi inspired lol, so much for "not seeing it". I don't care if you think its cute, there's a lot of military lolita out there with similar design elements that doesn't have the baggage of being an explicit reference to nazi bullshit and if you go out of your way to defend it and wear it... well... its either a) you're incredibly fucking stupid or b) incredibly fucking stupid and a nazi sympathizer, either way i'm staying the fuck away. No need to witchhunt or "cancel" either for owning this set, if they really are a nazi sympathizer these people always either live like the miserable insecure cowards they are or out themselves eventually.

>>10620267
anon, maybe its time to see a professional

>>10620739
I absolutely hate this dress. Maybe I'm just salty I could never pull something like this off, though. I would love to see an experienced lolita take high quality pieces and coord this well. That goes for most of the pieces in this thread, except the Nazi shit.

>>10619535
genius move. adorable + horrible at the same time

God I hope people don't cancel Meta, but I know it's going to happen.

>>10620826
Meta won't get canceled because the hamplanets like having burando that fits them

>>10620838
hamplanets and socially low rungs are the loudest proponents of canceling so the plus plus sizes will stave them off for a whie

>>10620739
This scream idol lolita and danganronpa clutter cosplay at the same time.

>>10619846
Anon... this is the exact image that made me fall in love with lolita fashion...

>>10620826
Why would they?

>>10620977
Because they made Die Walkure a decade ago

>>10620826
Nah, who gives a shit about what fat westerners think. They’re too busy nagging AP for not having XXXXXL sizes

>>10621131
God, stop posting it and no one will even remember

A lot of Classical Puppets pieces. Like I could never wear them in public but I appreciate their dedication to crazy.

Like, this is ugly as sin but I can’t hate it because the details are nice?

>>10621676
I actually see where you're coming from, there's somethings endearing about the cluny lace and cute grandma design on the apron

>>10621676
I would be interested to see it worn. It looks one step away from being a "haunted raggedy ann" costume if styled wrong, rather than an artsy Cinderella.

>>10621676
Something with the proportions makes my brain register this as a bjd dress

>>10619393
>>10619391
Why is this ugly? Girl is cute.

>>10621760
Fuck off, scrote.

>>10621751
All I can find is the model pics but the bonnet is cute.

>>10621804
The gloves are atrocious and her make-up looks like a skin disease. The bonnet is cute though.

>>10621821
I think she’s meant to look dirty. I think it’s supposed to be Cinderella before the fairy godmother came to help her

>>10621826
I know she's /meant/ to look dirty, but my eyes just see an immune disorder of the skin.

>>10621804
I love it, it reminds me of all the various stage adaptations of Cinderella. You could totally get away with putting it onstage, but also wearing it out of the theatre to a cute picnic

>>10621755
I had the same thought except I saw it as a kids dress. It made me think it would be adorable for a kid if their school does one of those "dress like a book character" days or something

>>10620267
I was about to say that's what kills it is the logo on the hat.

That being said, it's actually based off a German WWI uniform & not Nazi uniform. The Nazi hats were almost identical, but have point up top while the WWI German hat was rounded.

>WWI
>https://i1.wp.com/ww2-weapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/thema93.jpg
It's only cheap imitation hats that are rounded.

>Nazi

>>10620183
I'll always have a hate boner for Nazis, but it also has a French symbol on it for the flur-de-lis. I do question why they had to use that particular bird with a circle though.

>>10620198
No, it's actually modeled after a German WWI uniform. Most the time in anime stuff thought to resemble Nazis actually comes from WWI. A lot of people in Japan for some reason love the people with the silly hats and the little cross/spike up top. So, a lot of stuff is actually WWI.

Ultimately, I think it's just suppose to be a fantasy world war inspired outfit.

>>10622082
As a Jewish lolita I will always hate Nazis

>>10622083
As a Jewish lolita I want another lolita in that nazi dress to step on me

>>10622093
Same

>>10620183
> The west just has a hate boner for Nazis
are you insane? do you hear yourself? it is good and normal and excellent to hate nazis. go outside

>>10620739
it’s so ugly... but i love it

AATP

>>10621676
This feels like a cute kind of style to go for if you were trying to get rid of a lot of sewing scraps

It’s objectively ugly, but I still like it.

>>10622340
You know that this is the back of the dress, yeah? Fine if you don't like it, but it's weird to not post the front.

>>10622461
Do you know you are on 4chan? A warped continuum, yeah?

>>10619592
The leopard background looks more like some nasty microscope slide presentation. It's gross the green gutter color of sewage does it no favors.

>>10619447
Anon don't do it. I saw a Souffle Song similar to this at a meet up. This sort of fabric recently. God awful fire hazard halloween cheap shit. You seriously will regret it, unless honestly you are ita or a lovely lor fan and just don't know your ita.

>>10620535
>Hates Nazis
>Y-you just don't care about white people!!

Nazi didn't care about white people either, simp

>>10620739
Slap on some fairy wings and wear it to your local Renaissance Faire.

>>10619391
All mini hats
/thread

>>10622657
This. I don't even think mini hats are ugly.

>>10619403
You just reminded me of their Punkuma Camo OP. I love this shit.

>>10622734
Me too. It's so cute and unique, the sort of dress only meta can pull off

>>10622742
Exactly. I don't think there's one Meta dress I truly hate. They all have some sort of charm and cutness to them.

>>10619592
I think it's cuter in pink but the OP version of it gives major "Christmas party at Grandma's house" vibes to me. Still would wear it tho. Pic related

>>10622745
>"Christmas party at Grandma's house" vibes
Objectively best aesthetic tho

>>10622786
Facts! I don't what it is, maybe nostalgia, but when I see dress that give those vibes. I have to have them.

I love this print so effing much. These cats are so derpy but they're happy and they spark joy.

>>10622093
As a fellow Jewish lolita I'd absolutely don Die Walkure and do lesbian BDSM with you if you're hot.

>>10622669
i don't think they're inherently ugly, just horribly abused by tasteless itas

This magnificent kitty gobelin dress.
Lief is my fave indie brand by far

>>10622789
>>10622840
how is this ita? these are normal dresses. stop trying so hard to be not like the other girls.

>>10623019
I mean I can see why some people might think they're kinda ugly, especially the gobelin one, but as a crazy cat lady I love them.

>>10623019
Why are you so pressed? Ita is to some extent subjective and the dresses you pointed out are justified as possibly ita bc of 1)derpy cats 2) very busy/kitch gobelin print
There isn't always a point to be made

>>10622840
I own it, it feels like upholstery fabric but I love it anyways

>>10623024
I'm SO jealous, it's one of my dream dresses

>>10623024
Upholstery fabric means that it's low-key indestructible, you get to enjoy kitty dress for a long time. Lucky bastard.

>>10622362
The fabric looks like its from the quilting cottons section at Joanns but its still a cute look

>>10620811
But it looks so goooooooood

>>10623023
cats are super popular in lolita. gobelin is super popular in lolita. thinking it's odd to like cats and/or gobelin sounds super nooby.

>>10623427
a similar "grandma's couch" gobelin floral got shit on in a recent ita thread and posted to an ugly burando thread. I blame the sweetfags

>>10623427
I know, I think it's lovely, just that it can be a lot to sweetfags and goths
stop stretching this every second is shortening my lifespan

>>10623454

That one sweet really had a chip on her shoulder lmao.

>>10620811
And I've seen ap listed as maid costume

It looks more like several other military uniforms than nazi uniforms.

I just think it's unfair for a hate group to get the right to claim an entire military aesthetic. Goths have been wearing military inspired for a long time. D walkure is only a problem because lolitas are a bunch of sweaty sjw cunts. This doesn't happen in other hobbies. They're lots of actual nazi inspired video game characters and people have no problem with cosplays of those

As you said if a nazi wears d.walkure they'd out themselves eventually like DeeDee did. It's a miracle she never got her hands on the set.

Pic is stolen from the archive but it did the work I dont feel like doing

>>10622840
i would die for this dress oh my god look at her she is BEAUTIFUL

>>10623661
Walkure is referring to Operation Valkyrie from WW2, google that if you don't know what it is. Which could be cool if it was like "we dressed up as nazis to kill hitler" but I have no idea what Meta's thoughts behind this set were. Also the logo on the hat is a direct rip from the Nazi coat of arms. Military inspired is fine, theres a lot of military lolita stuff out there. But uh this is a little beyond that.

>>10622840
>>10623664
I (also) own this, it's so comfy on top of being absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint is the waist (at least on mine) is gathered a little strangely.

>>10623666
People really be reaching when it comes to this set lmao

Like yes, its inspired by nazis and no, Meta doesn't need to be canceled over it.

>>10619532
I'm a cringe print antagonist, but this is... I like this very fucking cool.

>>10620180

>>10621676
>poor midle ages peasant-lita
adorable

>>10622734
this is lmao-tier, I bet there is a good version of this

>>10622734
I own one of the pink sets and it's so chaotic and I love it.

>>10623666
>>10623661
SJWs don't get that.. In the military, they kill people.
>Gasp
Seriously. It doesn't matter if it's Nazis, the US, or anything. Every military kills people. This comparison to everything being Nazi is ridiculous and that it's the worst of the worst. Military aesthetic is an aesthetic, that doesn't make someone a murderer. Tired of the parallel being drawn for some outfits, because all it does is make you look like a loon that doesn't think with their brain to compare EVERYTHING to genocide and murder.

>>10623668
Are people actually trying to cancel Meta over this? Holy shit

>>10623698
Yes, because they don't actually know a single bit of history. Japan being in an alliance to Germany doesn't even seem to cross their minds. Why not just cancel all of Japan, then?

>>10623698
>>10623700
i am not a sjw by any stretch but i sort of think that japan of all places should be cancelled for this kind of shit. they did fucked up shit in WW2 especially in asia, and got a free pass.

>>10623698
Where are people trying to cancel meta? I would think their fatty sizing would kind of shield them from criticism

>>10623698
>>10623668

I remember when it initially came out over a decade ago, meta had to issue an apology and take it down off the site lol

>>10623731
Yeah and then the US slaughtered a bunch of civilians and the ones who survived got cancer and died. No one is innocent in war.

>>10623897
No one said that, but you can bet your ass brands in the US making nazi shit would be cancelled.

>>10620183
No shit Japan wouldn't care. They committed just as awful if not worse war crimes than the Nazis did in WW2.

my 15 year old self would have been overjoyed to find this in a hot topic and I still kind of love it for that reason

>>10623971
this is actually a pretty okay putumayo style punk jsk.

>>10623971
normal life ita

>>10619592
I still regret not getting this. It has my heart.

>>10621676
I want this so badly what is wrong with me

Y2k lolita

>>10625375
where's the y2k nonny

black&white bodyline dresses

>>10620183
>Japan doesn't care
probably because they were allied with the nazis, committed atrocities that were just as inhumane, and still won't admit they did shit to the Chinese. lol

>>10623971
I own this in pink and honestly it's comfy as fuck and easy to throw on, plus cheap as hell. So live your ita dreams

>>10625463
ntayrt but I think they're talking about this infamous look

>>10621676
pls use for a mori-inspired coord

>>10619570
>>10619571
I like lovely bathroom too. It looks like it belongs on a Barbie doll in 1994 and I feel the same way about the weird Dreamy Girl OP

>>10620017
I always thought the naivety of the illustrations was a big part of the charm on this one

>>10620180
>>10620454
Pair that instead with a red or burgundy beret or cloche hat for that color contrast.

>>10629270
>It looks like it belongs on a Barbie doll in 1994
how to tell someone is under 21

>>10630981
It’s my 32nd birthday today

>>10630981
Anon, I don’t know how to tell you this, but 21 year olds weren’t born in 1994.

>>10631060
happy birthday anon

>>10620422
Apparently you lefties have a hateboner for Jews too since you all support Palestine and hate Isreal.

>>10631060
happy birthday!

ik this thread is a little dead and not sure if this is considered ita but i definitely think its an acquired taste

i loveeee camo lolita i wish more indie brands or taobao brands experimented with the idea because i think the burando pieces with it are fucking adorable especially the meta punkuma set

speaking of which, i didn't know until looking up pics for this that they apparently made a COWBOY HAT for that set... obsessed

i unfortunately find cow themed prints adorable

>>10622789
this is adorable.

The orange colorway of the metamorphose flight attendant jsk is insane and I love it.

>>10631077
death to israel

>>10620185
This argument drives me up a fucking wall because anyone who knows how to use google can google that and find out how not true it is.

>>10634337
Follow up because someone is gonna google and lose their shit over the current company apology:

Boss was a person who owned a generic uniform factory. The person Hugo Boss had nothing to do with design of uniforms, or fashion at all. They produced clothing as contracted by the Nazi gov. It wasn't until well after his death that a relative (I believe it was his son-in-law?) started a fashion line and used his name for some reason. The "well they're fashionable because Boss" argument is just shit that gets passed around because someone hears it and thinks it's true and just spits it back out.

>>10634339
Goyim are annoying af HB is problematic

>>10634331
this is one of my friend's DDs and the last time we saw it secondhand on LM the bid war went to 700+ USD

>>10629270
I love dreamy girl op too. It feels so nostalgic for me too. Also i hate to admit but i love any kind of pearl details in dresses.

>>10635166
I really hope we don't see a tacky meta boom the same way there was a 2010 era AP boom

>>10635181
i agree with you only because i know the type of new lolitas who would like it would never be able to do something like rose leopard justice

>>10635184
i'd love to see this with gyaru makeup like anons have been discussing recently.

>>10623731
Well the U.S. nuked them so hard that they made Hello Kitty and Gundams so not sure if that would be considered a pass.

>>10628379
Off topic but go look at the comments section in any given Britney IG post. Unhinged and cringey as fuck.

>>10634200
same and its 10x worse for me since I'm a fatty-chan so wearing one is asking for mockery

>>10634331
Looks like a Vocaloid module.

>>10634331

im second anon, sent it to my friend when i got the email but i was a few mins too late....sobs

All the clown looking stuff, pic related.

>>10636157
Same. But it still doesn't feel executed well enough for me from these Clolita brands.

>>10622362
This is one dress that is on my if I see it cheap enough I'll get it list.

>>10635234
Just lose weight lol
