Contribootin', I have a bunch saved from Meta.

i can't into skirts, i have like 10 OPs/JSKs but 0 skirts (sold my only skirt in december)

>>6664356
X__X omfg

>>6664361
yeah, i personally have a lot more ops and jsks i love, but i find skirts easier to wear on a day-to-day basis. it's tough :(

>>6664369
whoops, forgot my image

>>6664358

>>6664369
Same here, anon!

pls go

>>6664381
Last one I have in this folder.. will try to dig for more.

>>6664378
Oh shit I think that's actually a JSK, looked like a skirt in thumbnail

>>6664369
maybe i'm just bad with blouses/cutsews then
skirts look so cute but the one i had looked really dumb when i tried to wear a shirt over and under it.

>>6664401
oh, dear, which one did you have?

also, do you know the name of the alice skirt in your pic? it looks super cute

>>6664401
THAT is a really cute coord.

also, does anyone have pics of the chess chocolate skirt coordinated at all? i can't recall seeing the skirt worn, only the ops/jsks

My wardrobe consists mostly of skirts because I'm horribly cheap and won't pay almost 50% more for a bit more fabric on the top ;P
I find skirts more versatile as you can dress them up or down. For example, you could wear cutsews for a casual coord or a snazzy blouse for when you feel dressy. My favourite tip is to experiment with different kinds of bustiers/corsets to create a more polished look.

Bless this thread!

I can only wear skirts because I have a really long torso and a large bust so dresses look weird on me, but it seems like people hardly wear skirts, or if they are they're not posting pictures!

>>6664482
I see it differently - it's a fuckton more construction to make a basic bodice than it is to make a basic skirt. I don't know if you sew at all, but after putting together 'a bit more fabric on the top' I'm quite happy to pay the difference for a dress.

>>6664482

This is too cute for words!

>>6665111

Yeah of course I understand that princess seams and everything take a lot of work, and I'm not trying to discount that. It's just a matter of perception for me, especially if it's just a simple bodice, and I feel like I can replace it with something similar.

>>6665312
This thread made me realize that I almost only have pics of OP/JSK coords saved

>>6665329
Even this was a JSK coord... Really looked like a skirt in thumbnail...

last one

Imma dump some.

I love how JSKs and OPs look on other people, but I hate them on me. No matter how much I like the bodice design, it will mostly likely look like shit and ride up on my big bust, so I settle for skirts...

>>6665499
Question: when is it considered to ok to wear tank tops like this? Would this be considered more otome or casual lolita?

>>6665683
I think that makes it look 0% lolita

>>6665683
I would consider it casual lolita, if only because they're still wearing a petti.

Any more classic/gothic coords with skirts? Mostly sweet in here and looking to get some inspiration.

>>6665683
I would personally call this one otome

>>6664378
Wow, gorgeous. Who is this? I want to see more.

Sage because off topic.

>>6666052
Isn't that the lolita who took pictures on a meet up and posted them on some doll fetish website without permission from the girls in the photos?

>>6666198
Not sure who the pic is actually of, but I also thought it looked like Unseelie at first. But it also looks too modest and demure to be a pic of Unseelie.

I would love to get into wearing lolita to work occasionally ((I work in a very historic area)) but would prefer it to just be skirts that way I don't scare customers away

I've fallen in love with alot of the VM and IW skirts. Could I see more please? Or more in a classic style?

>>6666198
Sure looks like Unseelie, but not sure- there's some girl that looks like her whose photos have been floating around, too.

>>6666203
Seconding this! Please more classic skirts!

>>6666203
>>6666207
No, it is actually Unseelie (who posted the girls on the dollification fetish website). I didn't think it was her either at first because she's fairly well dressed.

>>6666211
Ugh, honestly, I really side-eye whenever I see anyone I follow reblog anything diectly from her (meaning they follow her), I couldn't stand to follow someone so scummy and I judge those that do.

sage for offtopic rant

>>6666226
They might not follow her. They could have picked her post up from a tag they follow.

>>6665356
would anyone happen to know what skirt this might be?

also, thirding more classic or gothic skirts!

>>6664383
this doesnt even look like lolita anymore

>>6664475
i think lunie has a coord with that skirt

>>6666370
pretty sure this is the ETC bambi print and it's either the skirt or JSK, can't tell because of the cardi

>>6666383
That's what cgl wants

>>6666383
You know, for a long time I've had this theory, and I think this thread shows it fairly well... that skirt coords in the west are just.. different, from the way Japanese lolitas coord them- especially visible in classic coords.

My theory for this being that when we do blouse and skirt coords, we end up subconsciously channeling more of a retro 40's-50's look.

>>6666404
I agree with this. I think that lolita needs to have a more strict sense of what defines it because throwing a petti under a dress that looks correct doesn't always make it lolita. Like, a skirt's a skirt because it isn't pants. If the line between Lolita and just a poofy skirted outfit is too blurred it doesn't make it Lolita.

>>6666437
Yeah, basically this. This is why cords that are just
>(usually white) blouse, skirt with petticoat, tights, heels, maybe a necklace

bug me.

Does anyone have any more gothic ones? I seem to have picked up a bunch of skirts lately and it'd be nice to see some ideas for a more elegant/mature approach.
Also have some selfpost, concrit would be very much appreciated. Sorry for the crappy picture quality, haven't had a chance to get a proper photoshoot or anything done recently so I just grabbed a meet picture.

It seems to have turned out kind of ero, which wasn't really what I was going for, but I guess I'll let you guys tell me whether that works or not.

>>6666481
Can I ask what the top is? Is it a vest over a lace top, or a lace sleeved sweater? It's a bit hard to tell with the low contrast.

I have the same problem, trying to create elegant looks in gothic with skirts... especially with sweaters or jackets, trying to avoid the shape being messed up by the proportion of the jacket.

>>6666509
It's a lace blouse which has a black silky lining on the torso part, but not on the arms. Taobao listing might give you a better idea: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w57652853.46.splab3&id=17059519079&

>>6666481
I'm not digging all the different textures put together. You have the lace pattern of the cutsew, the lace gloves, the floral print, and then the printed tights, and it looks just the tiniest bit messy. Maybe if you wore a solid skirt with the cutsew or a plain cutsew with that skirt? I love all the pieces individually, your shoes are really nice, and you're super pretty.

>>6666481
I don't like the fingerless gloves they look kind of cheapy and mallgoth. Ditch those and put on a couple nice rings instead.

>>6666554
I agree, the gloves are the only thing that bug me. That skirt is great!

>>6666542
Yeah, I guess there is a lot of different lace going on, I'll see if I can get a 'fancy' blouse that relies on ruffles and construction details rather than lace. Thanks!

>>6666554
I get pissed off with rings because it seems like everyone lolita or loliable ring I buy falls apart the second time I wear it. Dem 'quality' indie designers. I might just get some nicer gloves.

>>6665354
Oh my god, that huge heart bag. It's amazing. Anyone know where she got it? I can't figure it out through the spanish.
Sage because I can't tell how old this thread is

>>6664401
I miss this girl. She was so cute.

>>6666848

It's not just loliable rings that seems to fall apart easily though, I've read so much about those brand (mostly AP) plastic style jewelry that falls apart.
It's probably best to stick to rings made out of all silver, gold or metal.

>>6667360
I can't say for sure, but I remember Bodyline having something similar.

>>6667837
I think I'm just going to pick up loads and loads of cheap ones from Taobao, there's a lot of pretty gothic jewellery on there. Having a 50p ring break is considerably less annoying than a £5 one!

>>6667360
try milk, ap, baby, rakuten, a crapload of japanese boutiques spew out heart bags every now and then.

Bumping to request more gothic skirts
