thank you its gonna be my first Lolita dress and i needed a co-ord inspiration but if its got no name
its gonna be hard to find any :0

>>6523032
>first lolita
>pink as fuck

Please stop and rethink things through

>>6523034

what would u choice as a first co-ord?

>>6523051
Anything from MM but avoid used items since a lot of them are in poor conditions or never been washed.

Pink is a choice in the wrong direction don't know if this thread is real or not

yes i need Lolita help

>>6523053
I can't think of any real reason why pink would be a bad choice for someones first dress, in fact I have never heard anyone say something like that.

OP, why don't you post some pictures of Lolitas you like and we can help you make a nice coord with good affordable starter pieces.

>>6523064
I hate the colour pink but it's very common in sweet lolita. It's fine really. Wear pink if you like it. Show us pictures of what you like in lolita, and we will understand your taste better.

>>6523053
Depends on who you're asking. I think it's a cute choice for a first dress. Though pink isn't flattering on me in the slightest. Anyway, it's bodyline, it's cheap, and if you decide to switch styles, it's not like you're investing tons of money into an expensive dress and not really care for it. Plus, why spend $300+ on a new dress if you don't even know if you want to get into the style?

As for used items, many if not most people strictly buy 2nd hand brand because of the costs. Just be sure to wash/dry clean your stuff when it comes in.

As far as a coord goes, get yourself something pink on the head like a bow, headband, a pink rose corsage would be really cute. Go with a basic white bodyline blouse and some white tights or otk socks (easiest to wear, go to sockdreams for cheap ones, but bodyline does carry them). Then some pink shoes. Bodyline has some pink shoes for about $20. Find a cute necklace and some bracelets (forever 21, charlotte russe, is a good place to find pretty and cheap jewelry, I've seen some pretty things in Claires but go for things that are more classy and not overly childish) and you'll be good to go, I think. It won't be the most impressive thing in the world, but for a first coord, it'd be cute.

>>6523064
>pink would be a bad choice for someones first dress

Because the color reflects the personality of the person wearing it. As you can see the ones that have more emotional or catty problems wear a very pink coordination. Not only that but the sort of looks you get from the general public is downright disgusting.

>never heard anyone say something like that.

Because you never met someone like me before? Hmmmm. OP should go for something like brown/greens instead of loud fluorescent blues/pinks. Does that send a shiver down through my spine

>implying I have a spine

>>6523064

Most people starting out in sweet buy lots of pink things since it seems appropriate to the substyle, but pink isn't flattering to a many skin tones so they end up selling them. The majority of sweet lolitas I know had a closet of tons of pink to start out with, but they've moved on to different colors now that they have more experience.

That's my guess, anyway.

>>6523068
>As you can see the ones that have more emotional or catty problems...

Says the person jumping into a thread trip-a-blazing and imposing their personal style choices and preferences onto someone else.

>>6523069
> Plus, why spend $300+ on a new dress if you don't even know if you want to get into the style?

Then you can get the replicas from taobao instead but pink is a terrible color to go on.

>2nd hand brand because of the costs

Also the associated headaches because nothing excites a new lolita to see yellow stains on the coord.

Pink is what drives lolitas into this ageplay zone that the majority of the public frowns on.

>>6523068
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So you are just crazy.
That's ok, but you really shouldn't be talking like your opinion is the end all about the subject. Especially since you seem to think the color of clothing affects personality.
That dress is fine OP. Just take your time getting the baisics like a good petti, a blouse in a color that will work for several different coords, a pair of shoes that work for several sets of things as well, that sort. And don't listen to Libra. Libra is insane apparently.

>>6523075
The problem is that they stick to sweet candy and never branching and it turns into this obsession.

>>6523077
Recommendations because pink is just a terrible pathway in lolita. Not only that but only a few manage to look decent wearing it and this is including that awful wig.

>>6523080
>color of clothing affects personality.


Oh really? You see when the person chooses that specific color she will look into more of that specific style of lolita. The very same one that few can do correctly without looking like a horrid mess of a skank. Oh the best part is when you walk around in public wearing such a flamboyantly colored dress and people ask or do strange things to you.

sorry the version i want is red not pink. i should of said that at the start am sorry ;9

>>6523088
>red instead of pink

How about I slap your shit? Red is a fine well to a degree of it anyway. I still prefer red over pink any day of the week .

>>6523082
I think OP needs to post some more pictures of what they like before we can jump to conclusions.

Post some lolita outfits you like OP, it will help a lot.

ITT: Lolitas that worry too much about about what people outside the fashion will think of them without remembering that regardless of what color we chose, we'll always be seem as weird grown ups dressed as 'little girls'.

If you really like the pink and you can make it work with any other color, then go for it. Don't worry about people outside the fashion will think.
There's hardly anything we can do about that.

>>6523096

>>6523092
You've had too much to drink Libra, go lay down for a few hours

Pink: A gateway drug.
STOP.LIKING.WHAT.I.DON'T.LIKE.
Ya, libra, please go.

As for OP, that jsk looks fine, I would however maybe not choose an alice and wonderland themed dress as your first go, it is really easy to make something like that look costume-ey.

to be honest i hate plain Lolita dress's. and i was told i should go for them as my first co-ord

>>6523086
Implying that all people who wear lolita wear it everyday and around town. Many of us don't.

I am sorry that pink has fucked you over like a bad ex on crack and you've been so unfortunate to find cum stains on your brand but jesus christ calm your tits down. I want to see what kind of perfection you wore your first time wearing Lolita.

I wouldn't say it turns into an obsession. It turns into "oh fuck my whole wardrobe coordinates with these specific colors", and when you get into buying brand, it becomes hard to branch out until you sell all your shit and start over. And who the fuck cares if Sally in Timbucktu likes to ageplay and fuck coke dealers in her pink frills. She's not shitting in your tea.

>>6523096
How can pink be a good color if a small percentage can do it right?

>we'll always be seem as weird grown ups dressed as 'little girls'.

No some colors and coords look normal while the pink ones scream " I did some crazy shit and occasionally snort crack for the hell of it".

>>6523104
Pink is already a costum-ey

>>6523108
>I wouldn't say it turns into an obsession.

Of course it does because they will be so involved in this particular brand/ color then they are most likely to repeat the same action for the next purchase. The problem is that Lolita is seen as a cosplay until something changes it will always stay like this. This ageplay costume that can turn off potential candidates with great personalities.

Examples of people looking bad in lolita without pink

>my pic related
Example of lolita looking good in pink . Don't blame the colour. Blame the person's co-ordination skills.

>>6523088
Why the hell are you apologising? Don't let that idiot bother you.

Sometimes Bodyline dresses are referred to by their "product" number, so the dress OP linked would be L483. Maybe that'll help when you are searching for sales or coord ideas.

>>6523106
I don't ever remember hearing that advice, but it might have been safer to coord one or two colors rather than three or four. If you are going to get the dress you posted in red, you should also think about what kind of top, head accessory, socks, and shoes to go with it...It look awkward if only your dress is red and nothing else.

>>6523106
plain are easier to start out with, but if you really want a print all it takes is a little extra care.
post some pics of what you want to look like and we can help figure out where to buy it and what you need.
Think about what colors you want to use, choose only a few complementing colors at first, no more than three.

>>6523112
>>6523119
Libra, speaking from experience, don't post on /cgl/ while drunk.
Especially since you can't determine your opinion from fact, and the example of the few for the whole.

>>6523127
oops. wrong pic.

>>6523123
>Don't blame the colour. Blame the person's

I blame the colour because people are making the wrong decisions and coordination's come out with similar results. You even proved that the ones wearing pink are just fuugs

>>6523124

I'm sorry but this thread is becoming much funnier than it has any right to be. PINK IS THE COLOR OF THE DEVILLLLLL

Happy new year to you too!

>>6523129
... not that it really mattered now that I think about it..

This is now a pink lolita thread.

>>6523137
I like it.

>>6523132
>>6523134
These are professionals who have large amounts of money to pour into this hobby. How about some regular lolitas?

>>6523139

i found this op

Libra, I think we need to talk this out, did pink shit in your tea or something?
Are all the popular girls wearing pink so you have to feel ~Different~ and ~Special~ in your MM?

Can we get Libra banned?

When it comes to sweet, I find pink and red to look better on warmer/yellow skintones (along with yellow), sax, lavender, and mint look good on cooler/rosier skintones. I had one pink OP and it just washed me out. I like to use pink as an accent color if it's in the print (blouse, socks, shoes), but I try not to use too much of it. It's a cute color but it can be overkill on some people.

While Libra seems horribly drunk, let me retranslate what she seems to be saying.

Black and neutrals are good colors to get into because they can go with anything and tend to look more normal, especially for everyday wear. Sweet uses bright colors, big poofy skirts and cutesy motifs in many prints, so it's often misconstrued as a costume, while Gothic and Classic tends to fade into the background a bit because it's more subdued.

It's better to buy brand because quality is nicer than Bodyline, but if you buy it second-hand you're running the risk of getting someone else's used clothes, so buyer beware.

Sweet is really common (and therefore maddeningly nauseatingly saccharine when surrounded by hoards of sweet girls). Namely, you've got bright pastels, and these are not present in Gothic or Classic. Pinks and blues tend to be more toned down and neutral in classic and gothic uses jewel tones. If you decide that you'd rather wear Lolita on an everyday-basis rather than just for special events, you may find sweet to be hard to break out of if you've built a wardrobe around it... especially as you get older.

However, in my opinion, if you are just breaking into it, like people have said, go with what you like. We all decide to change directions. Many people start with sweet and go from there.

LOL

Thank you stranger

>>6523078
>Then you can get the replicas from taobao instead but pink is a terrible color to go on.

in your opinion, pink is a perfectly fine color, it's easier to coord with pastels, this person is looking into sweet lolita they are not interested in your classic shit
>Pink is what drives lolitas into this ageplay zone that the majority of the public frowns on.

Who the fuck cares what the majority of the public thinks, we're wearing petticoats, bloomers and bonnets. We are not here to please the common public.

Who the hell is Libra and is she always that crazy?

>>6523174
>It's better to buy brand because quality is nicer than Bodyline, but if you buy it second-hand you're running the risk of getting someone else's used clothes, so buyer beware.

That's pretty much the definition of second hand clothes. What's inherently wrong with used second hand clothes?

Libra apparently doesn't wash or iron or dry clean second hand clothes?

>>6523140
OP should look for Peachie. She only owns bodyline and loads (loads, LOADS) of pink. Amm.. I guess she has a tumblr? Does anyone have it?

>>6523691
Washing clothes is a foreign idea to people. That's why there is always a how do I clean this dress post on EGL.

>>6523752
She owns a lot of replicas too. But she wears Lolita practically everyday. Thus, a huge wardrobe full of cheaper things.

is ...is that alice brown?
Is this a defect of the printing on the dress or....did Mr. Yan put a brown girl on a bodyline dress

The dress is fine OP. I hope you are conscious of how pink looks with your skin tone because you might get unfortunate piggy skin if the pink is wrong.
do you have your petti?, OTK socks are better for beginners. Heeled shoes are better for beginners, do you have a blouse/cardigan to go up top, do you have hair accessories and what you're going to do for your face?

>>6523069
This is really good advice, Just remember to match the color of the shoes to the dress if you get pink shoes (you should) try to match for a light to medium pink so your shoes don't draw too much attention.

>>6523082
> the problem is that they stick to sweet candy and never branching and it turns into this obsession.

im not a sweet lolita but if thats what they like then why should they? Also why do we care what the public likes? Seriously if i gave two shits what the public thought i wouldn't wear lolita at all.

>>6523792
You don't have to match shoes to the dress. It's a good first step, but you can do this >>6523661.
