Versailles: This is so pretty and flattering, and I love how lux the material is.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Easily my Twinkle Journey replica. I wear that thing everywhere, it's so easy to just throw on and go, and it's washable if it gets gross too.

currently shoes

lace up ribbon JetJ tights in black and ivory
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
a MILK babydoll dress

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Too much shit to make a collage of. Lots of AatP and Metamorphose, and nicer quality TaoBao stuff. Currently photographing EVERYTHING I own. Partly so I can get my poupee account up to date, partly to participate in the wardrobe theme when it comes up again and also partly because I'm trying to weed it out, and sell some things so I have room for new purchases.

My goal wardrobe is to have one piece from every major Japanese brand. So far, I'm not doing too badly on that. Still trying to find something from AP, VM, JetJ and MM that I like enough to buy, though.

>What's in your wishlist?
Again. A lot. In order from most to least desired: That tacky Metamorphose corset dress made of PVC and chiffon, AatP's Marini OP and matching hat in blue, AatP's Rosalia Princess Gauze OP (in white), Kurage Hime collab JSK (Kuranosuke striped JSK), BtSSB's Fragrant Rose Memories in the green or beige colourway (either JSK, preferably with bonnet), AatP's Chiffon Jewellery Print JSK in black or blue (asymmetrical cut), IW's Lunna Stripe Halter JSK ... and a bunch of others I'd like to buy but which am not actively seeking.

>What do you need?
A wider variety of blouses. New bloomers. Hair accessories that don't match specific prints. I have a bad habit of buying sets with matching bonnets and headdresses, then not having something to put with my solid-coloured pieces.

>What's your obsession?
More like obsessionS. Chiffon and other sheer fabrics, princess sleeves, corset-style bodices, sailor pieces, lots of layering and texture all in one garment, cute lolita-style boots.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
A 2007 Metamorphose Sailor dress. It was a birthday gift from a very dear friend.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Metamorphose's Apple Print skirt. Their fully shirred skirts are ridiculously comfy and the corduroy fabric is just so soft and plush.

I think this is all the brand items I have that come to mind. I have a good amount of off brand though to go with everything.

>Wishlist
There's a lot of dresses I would like but right now I'm trying to save up money a bit so I'm putting off having a wish list.
>Need
More shoes and boots that are suitable I think and aren't falling apart.
>Obsession
Alice and the Pirates probably. I like colourful gothic themed stuff.
>Beloved Item
Probably the JetJ JSK or Moonlight Night that I got in a lucky pack.
>Comfortable
Moonlight Night skirt for sure.

I put everything I own that comes from any specifically lolita orientated business, rather than main brands. I'm still waiting on two things from this, but it's so weird seeing everything in one picture.
I know there's only four real brand pieces in mine, but was anyone else surprised at how much they owned when they made their collages?

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Lots of things that don't match each other.
>What's in your wishlist?
So much! In particular any AP chocolate bag as well as either version of Melty Chocolate in green, Baroque's Kingdom of Lolita skirt in black/gold and BTSSB's La Robe Vert Clair but the list is getting endless.
>What do you need?
White shoes, a nice hat such as a boater hat, some good quality white lace gloves. I'm not so sure anymore, but I'm trying to focus on quality and matching things to what I already have, no more impulse buying of replicas just because they're cheap.
>What's your obsession?
Chocolate prints, guro lolita and himegyaru.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
BTSSB's Velveteen Lace Frill JSK, first brand piece and I'm still in love with it after a year. It makes me feel like a princess, as cheesy as it is.
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Bodyline crown embroidery cardigan. It's starting to look really worn but I can't help myself, it's too comfy!

>>7128843
That is a lot of black. I'm so impressed you've managed to stick to a theme so well, that's either amazing self control or a true obsession.
>>7129267
Such elegant dresses, I'm so jealous.

>>7129415
I've been thinking about buying that Bodyline crown cardigan... I think you've sold me on it.

Also I love your replica shame corner lol.

>>7129447
Oh do it, everyone I know that also has it loves it. Considering it in white also.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related, except accessories and offbrand stuff, etc
>What's in your wishlist?
Milky-chan of the fawn polka dot jsk in brown even though I don't have anything to coord it. And blooming garden op in black.
>What do you need?
Moar navy. Navy glittery shoes from etc.
>What's your obsession?
Unicorns/ponies and animal prints mhm
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Unico in bloomland jsk
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Meta's Sailor, shits comfy as hell

>>7129267
Jelly of all your navy dresses!

>>7129415
i am a complete bodyline-chan but i just recently purchased my first brand piece after 9 months in lolita I am TRYING to change here gdi anon
resists the bodyline

You all have such amazing wardrobes!
This is everything from lolita-specific brands, missing an offbrand sailor OP and a lot of accessories. I started building my wardrobe in April and it's still growing. I really love every piece I own, and making this really helped me realise that.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related.
>What's in your wishlist?
Dream Sky in navy, Honey Cake in yellow, nearly all of Meta's sailor stuff.
>What do you need?
More blouses, more dresses, more socks. A lot of stuff.
>What's your obsession?
Sailor loli.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Aqua Princess is one of those prints I admired for a long time before I got into loli, so probably that. It probably sounds funny but I don't have much else.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
The royal kitten JSK is in the larger size so it's super comfortable.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Mostly gothic styled pieces from aatp, a few classic pieces in darker tones, in coming Musee de chocolat, which is a late birthday present that won't match anything in my wardrobe.
>What's in your wishlist?
Metas Melody Cat JSK in either black or Ivory, MmM sleepy garden in purple, and APs freshly picked strawberries in black or red.
>What do you need?
More blouses and accessories, I have about five blouses but four are really plain f21 type things. I only have one head bow, I feel I should have one or two more.
>What's your obsession?
Things with cat prints.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Aatp's Treasure hunt in Mystic Islands JSK in Black (the baby doll version) I bought it, it didn't fit and I lost a shit ton of weight to get into it, now I'm towards the lower side of the measurements. I didn't think myself of unhealthy, but having that dress just not fit pushed me into a healthier lifestyle.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Probably Babys little red riding hood JSK (2012(?)) It seems to fall onto the right spots.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related plus Baby's Creamy Soda Pop OP (worst purchase I've ever made; it doesn't look good on me, and it's impossible to sell) and some accessories
>What's in your wishlist?
A few chiffon blouses, AP donut bag, a simple AP pouchette, Twinkle Constellation, JM Royal Library
>What do you need?
I really need more blouses, boleros, and accessories. I have too many main pieces and not enough basics.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
I really love Honey Cake.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
I haven't worn my pieces enough to be able to say decisively, but maybe Sweet Cream. It fits me well, and the fabric is lovely.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Fairy Kei, Pastel Goth, and tons of random clothes from a lot of different styles.
>What's in your wishlist?
Angelic Pretty Dream Sky JSK, Chess Story Starry Night Angel JSK Lavender, a couple of Dolluxe eyelashes, and Vassen Nova Pink lenses.
>What do you need?
More tulle skirts, bows, and kneesocks!!
>What's your obsession?
Things with moons, stars, comets, or umrellas on them.
Also I love umbrellas themselves, they're way too cute.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My purple wig and my white unicorn shirt with stars on the back!
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
I think my kneesocks are pretty comfy.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
A little of everything, moving away from sweet and more toward gothic/classic

>What's in your wishlist?
rare shit that nobody will ever sell

>What do you need?
fuckton of bonnets

>What's your obsession?
religious prints

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
rare prints

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related - everything that costed more than $100. Not pictured - a few Bodyline skirts and JSKs, Bodyline/Anna House blouses, offbrand outerwear, accessories

>What's in your wishlist?
Nothing a omgwant at the moment, but here goes: AP original print JSK in pink, Eternal Rose Bouquet, Chess Chocolate, Baby's Some Day in Ranunculus, Metamorphose's Teddy Chocolatier, a salopette?

>What do you need?
Honey Cake headbow in pink and some more blouses and outerwear.

>What's your obsession?
In general, food prints and some floral ones (roses in particular). Currently though, I am obsessed with brown. Just got two brown skirts (chocoberry and rose bouquet) and a pair of brown shoes from Bodyline and I want to throw together a couple of fall coords.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
AP Honey Cake/Pancake bag. Totally worth it.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Most of the Bodyline stuff.

>>7129586
do you mind a question about Sweet cream house? Ive been wondering for a while, what is the material like? is it good quality and heavy, or..?

>>7129658
All dat Honey cake.

guuuuuurl i will wear this shit vicariously through you.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Mostly aatp. I have a lot of accessories and offbrand but I don't feel like hunting everything down.
>What's in your wishlist?
Jejt Belle au bois dormant
>What do you need?
More skirts and blouses.
>What's your obsession?
Fairy tale themes and foxes.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
It's a tie between the ETC Fox in forest and the Jejt Fruit et un papillon
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
The aatp boots. I wear them with regular clothes sometimes.

>>7128858
Thank you!
>>7129415
It's not really theme or obsession, just that before I started lolita I only wore black, so it's more like... habit? Haha.

>>7129415
thank you! im more for classic but slowly getting into classic sweet :)
>>7129516
thanks, recently craved navy dresses.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
This, minus many shoes, purses etc.
>What's in your wishlist?
I would absolutely drop anything for Trick Hat, Pricked Heart in the ivory corset JSK at the moment.
>What do you need?
Matching headwear, more blouses, always more.
>What's your obsession?
Meta and I'm a sucker for ivory and blue.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My Brilliant Princess JSK, also Grazia Crown. But I have a soft spot for BP.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
None of it's uncomfortable? I find my HMHM skirt super easy to wear casually, day-to-day.

Missing: Metamorphose's Royal Rose Shirred Skirt in ivory

I never know if I have a lot or a little, this took way too long to put together. I only keep track of my lolita-specific brand items, not my offbrand stuff. Shit would be twice as big if I included offbrand.

I have a really earthy/mori palette, except for Meta's Strawberry Cream and Tales of the Wood.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Everything to the left!

>What's in your wishlist?
MM Apollonia OP in red, Pina SweetCollection Ribbon Babydoll OP in pink are the main ones. I already have them in alternate colors, but they're so perfect I want the others.
I'm leaving the world of prints behind and I'm really focusing on pieces that have a lot of attention to detail (think MM). It's mostly older stuff. That's the essence that made me fall in love with lolita and I realized it's what I really crave and look best in.

>What do you need?
Blouses, hair accessories, and jewelry for cure. Better makeup skills too.

>What's your obsession?
Chiffon, ruffles, pintucks, lace, gobelin. Any kind of special fabric wins my heart!

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Out of all my main pieces, 9 of them were dream items so I really hate having to sell anything. I'm so stoked for IW Rabbit Gobelin, been looking for that for two years.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
All the Innocent World dresses are insanely comfortable, and so is AP's Lacy Lady OP, MM Apollonia OP, and Pina Sweet Collection Ribbon Babydoll OP,

Trying again because my picture was unexpectedly enormous.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
This, minus many shoes, purses etc.
>What's in your wishlist?
I would absolutely drop anything for Trick Hat, Pricked Heart in the ivory corset JSK at the moment.
>What do you need?
Matching headwear, more blouses, always more.
>What's your obsession?
Meta and I'm a sucker for ivory and blue.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My Brilliant Princess JSK, also Grazia Crown. But I have a soft spot for BP.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
None of it's uncomfortable? I find my HMHM skirt super easy to wear casually, day-to-day

>What's in your current wardrobe?
I have about fifteen dresses and a skirt. Also a rather uneccessary number of novelty bags- I own Hiyoko the chicken as well. I just put eight of my favourites though.

>What's in your wishlist?
Aqua Princess JSK in the black. I recntly got DDC which was the last real MUST have. I'm kind of sitting back now hoping something cute comes out (or not I'm happy to hold onto my cash).

>What do you need?
More blouses, cardigans, jumpers.

>What's your obsession?
Stupid looking bags, mint color ways.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Everything, I wouldn't keep them if I didn't love them.

>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Magical Etoile, I could roll around in that all day.

>>7129751
>>7129658 here. Honey Cake round JSK in pink is what I really want. You lucky thing you.

>>7129756
I was really really lucky in that I was in Japan on exchange when it was released- I almost got the OP, but it looked hideous on me. I really hope you can find it someday! It's one of my favourites too.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
See the picture + a blouse I couldn't find a picture off (I didn't picture any more accessories, because some of them are not exclusive lolita items but just some cute necklaces and bracelets)
>What's in your wishlist?
I want to start owning some actual brand, but I want it to be a dream piece. If only I would have the money for Lotta, I would be so happy
>What do you need?
I don't like wearing blouses with my JSK's, so i am in serious need of some bolero's and cardigans. I also lack accessories and OTK's and shoes
>What's your obsession?
Anything with deers. If it has a deer print and nice construction, you can bet that I want it.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
I love my deer collar. It looks so nice with my classic Infanta dress
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe
It is a tie between the Milky Planet replica and the Lady Sloth skirt. They both fit so nice. The other replica's have very scratchy lace, Infanta stuff (with exception of the coat) is too tight around my boobs and Chess Story is too loose.

Before i get a lot of hate from anti-replica people. I got these as a gift from my mom, because she knew I liked this prints and she doesn't really know that replica's are frowned upon. I treasure them, because it was a really nice thought from her. Any tips about what I should buy to complement my wardrobe are welcome, especially if it is stuff I actually need like shoes and cardigans

>>7128843
All that black <3 There's a JetJ dress on fururun right now...

>>7129162
Jewel tones win. And that velveteen AP dress!

>>7129566
Good luck finding Melody Cat! Freshly Picked Strawberries seems to be popping up more frequently on second hand sites so keep an eye out!

>What's in your current wardrobe?
These plus an OP I'm currently rearranging the collar on, blouses/cutsews, and random assorted shoes and accessories that I cbf'd photographing.
I think the themes and motifs in my wardrobe are pretty obvious from the photo.

>What's in your wishlist?
MMM lace flock in purple/that kinda purply bordeaux wine colour
The Kidsyoyo replica of Marionette Girl in wine because it's actually wine, not red - I owned it but in a size too big for me
Marionette Doll in black x red
Atelier Boz Roland jacket in black velveteen (it was sitting up on maidenclothing forever but I hadn't the cash for it and now it's sold)
That exact same tacky qi lolita dress but in purple (again, up on maiden....argh)

>What do you need?
A dark green high collar blouse, long sleeve lilac blouse, bordeaux/wine blouse, decent black bolero/jacket

>What's your obsession?
Not sure if I have one...

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
ALL OF IT

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Hmmm, maybe the Algonquins dress (the gold and black one). Everything's much of a muchness comfort wise though

>>7129773
oh for fuck's sake, my picture.

This really puts things in perspective for me. Woah.

Not pictured: various blouses, boleros/cardigans, a Cerise jsk, hair accessories, some socks, or anything offbrand I use that I can't be bothered to add.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
All kinds of things.

>What's in your wishlist?
Misty sky op, sweet cream house jsk, drink me jsk, petit patisserie, ETC biscuit and chocolate OP, ETC swan print OP/JSK, AATP dance of the black cats JSK in any colour, plus a few various Jane Marple pieces I don't know the names of off the top of my head.

>What do you need?
Bags and jewelry/accessories.

>What's your obsession?
I have a thing for prints that are sky based.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
I can't really decide.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Milk cruise jsk - it's light, loose, and doesn't have much to it, but most of my otome stuff is very comfortable.

>>7129665
So jelly of that ETC fox in forest dress.

A+ would roll around in you stylish bitch's wardrobes

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related, dresses and skirt only though. I have some blouses/cardigans/shoes/tights/hairaccessories/etc. too of course!
>What's in your wishlist?
Too many unobtainable dresses.
>What do you need?
More blouses (though I'm only showing the dresses and a skirt) with long enough sleeves!
>What's your obsession?
Nun themed designs.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Moitié's Embroidery OP! But also Claudia the Fairytale Princess.
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
None, really.

>>7129786
>TFW I just started lolita halfway through this year and my wardrobe is tiny compared to their glorious ones.

How long have you girls been collecting?

>>7129796
I love you but I'm going to have to kill you for your wardrobe

>>7129798
This so much. I am so jealous of that Queen's Coach OP

>>7129801
Lets work together, you can have Queen's Coach for half the year and I'll have it for the other half.

>>7129801
>>7129803
Noooo! ;o;

>>7129796
You make me want to start collecting amazing gothic pieces. I've been so tempted lately. Do you wear your stuff much or just collect beautiful things?

>>7129797
7129267 here. i am still slightly new compared to other lolitas. i have been collecting for 1 and a half years now.

>>7129797
I got into Lolita 5 years ago that is when i bought the bodyline stuff and the putumayo skirt/cape. I then took a break, because I felt like I didn't understand Lolita fashion enough and was very afraid to become an ita. I picked it up again a year ago when i discovered taobao and indie brands.

>>7129807
I don't wear it as much as I'd like, so I'd say it's mainly collecting! Maybe I'd wear it more often if I had other lolita friends to hang out with, but sadly I live in the middle of nowhere!

>>7129797
I'm 7129244 and I've been collecting for almost a year now.

>>7129797
I'm >>7129776 and have been collecting since 2011 and trying to downsize/refine for most of 2013.

>>7129796
Whatever that Moitie OP with the puff sleeves is, I want it. And Gathered Chiffon.

>>7129661
It's not too thick or heavy but feels durable. It's very soft and the print quality is high, in my opinion.

>>7129797
I'm >>7129586, and I've only really been buying since May. I went on an ungodly spending spree in August/September, though, so most of my wardrobe is from then.

I started collecting in October 2011. My wardrobe is sorta small but I don't have a job so everything comes from allowance savings and Christmas/birthday money.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related are my main pieces (plus another JSK that's in the mail, Beauty and the Rose Promise in blue). Other than that I own four blouses (1 white, 1 offwhite, 2 black), 4 bags (1 burgundy, 2 black, 1 black and white), a cape, a parasol, 9 more headpieces, 2 pairs of shoes and a bunch of socks and accessories.

>What's in your wishlist?
AatP's Gathered chiffon JSK, MMM's Ritual print and Scallop Lace OP (either green or ivory), Versailles collab bonnet

>What do you need?
A white parasol (already own one in black), light colored bag, diamond socks in gold and black, and some more headwear is on my shopping list atm. I could use some jewelry too, I always feel like I'm lacing in that department.

>What's your obsession?
Lace tights and head accessories. I'd seriously buy them all (except for headbows which I don't particularly care about).

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My Versailles jsks, probably. Also the floral dress, that was my first buy and holds a lot of sentimental value to me.

>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Probably the empire waists. I was wary of them because of being busty but it seems like I can pull them off.

>>7129162
all your shoes are so cute!

I am OCD and keep pictures of my items on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/93183729@N04/sets/72157632754117335/

>What's in your current wardrobe?
A combination of styles, lots of Meta.
>What's in your wishlist?
Vampire Forest in red and Vampire requiem in lavender. I've been wanting these for a long time, especially the latter (4 years!).
>What do you need?
I really need a black and white or a red and white polkadot skirt. I saw an AP set that I had wanted with a skirt and headbow that was perfect but Japonica didn't bid on it in time. It ended for only 1200 yen, too.
>What's your obsession?
Polka dots! Old school Meta! Crosses! Retro themed dresses! And many more.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Probably the Cathedral Print JSK as it was the first one I ever owned.
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Any of my Meta pieces.

I've been into the fashion for 7 years and wearing it for 6 but as a uni student who rents, I often have to sell pieces if I want to buy another. I've gone through about 50 brand dresses. I wish I could afford/feel comfortable enough to have more dresses.

>>7129665
I'm so so so jealous of all your honey cake stuff. holy shit.

>>7129905
I meant >>7129658

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Gothic! My wardrobe is mostly black. And too much sweet lolita stuff, I want to wear more grown up sweet. I keep the dresses I love the most, the rest will go. Then I can buy more gothic items. *_*

>What's in your wishlist?
MmM's cathedral, I have the opportunity to buy it right now, but I can't afford it. >.< I also would love to have another green dress. My wishlist is endless, nobody would like to read it anyway.

>What do you need?
A petticoat, pink shoes, new blouses.

>What's your obsession?
Tights and bonnets.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My 4 o'clock dress.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
None, I don't buy my items because those are comfortable. I love dresses with corset, those will never be comfortable. If I have to make a decision it would be feerie from JetJ. I can wear it the whole day without problems.

I have more items in my closet, the picture only shows my dresses and one skirt.

>>7129902
Mad jelly of your old school Meta!

Can I request other's Flickr accounts to creep on?

This is my wardrobe minus my blouses/accessories and a few things I don't have stock images for. Sorry if the image quality isn't great.

>What's in your wishlist?
Innocent World's Westminster Choir JSK in navy (so sad I missed out on the reservation) and JetJ's Feerie
>What do you need?
More chiffon blouses and more shoes
>What's your obsession?
Stained glass prints
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
IW's Rothenburg, but it'll likely switch to Cadre du Chat when it gets here
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
BtSSB Tartan Check set

>>7129202

Type in cameo jewelry in ebay. The place is a fucking goldmine!

>>7129231
Yeah, I used to do pinup stuff before lolita so it's its a hold-over from my old style.

>>7129897
Thank you! I am somewhat of a shoe addict.

>>7129742
What's the name of that key JSK?

>>7129162
More pics of that corset, please! Where is it from?!

>>7129917
Ooh, how's the 4 o'clock dress? I don't think I've ever talked to anyone who actually owns one.

>>7129776
>BtSSB pockets embroidery in gorgeous blue
mah nigga

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related, plus the CEL stained glass skirt whenever it comes out. Just sorted a bunch of things for sale so it seems a lot smaller (and non-printed) than usual without them. But I really love every single piece now so I'm much happier about it.

>What's in your wishlist?
I really want another fancier Excentrique corset vest, they're just so versatile and good for wearing with skirts. Dream pieces: VM's Lace Up Doll OP, IW's Royal Library Corset JSK, MM's Muriel and Emmanuelle jackets, and Excentrique's Banbury Cross skirt and cape.

>What do you need?
More head accessories. I just bought a bunch of supplies (lace, flowers, ribbons, headbands, berets), now I need to actually make them. A really comfy pair of low-heeled or flat classic shoes for days when I want to do a lot of walking.

>What's your obsession?
Excentrique corset JSKs. And skirts. And vests.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Either Elodie Doll, which was my first lolita piece, or my corset vest, which I wear all the time and was the first piece I ever bought brand new.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Lolotte, it's so soft and fluffy and easy to throw on when I want to be fancy without too much effort.

>>7129751
>tfw cat's tea party

>>7130194
What do you think the absolute max bust on the Lolotte OP is? That and MM Bisque Doll OP are my two favorite lolita dresses ever, but I'm afraid I'm probably too big for MM with a 92 cm bust (the site usually says 88 cm bust for their dresses)

>>7130130
I love it! It's exactly my size and it's a custom design. The designer from 4'o clock asked me, what kind of dress I wanted to have. I told her the details and she made 2 beautiful sketches for me. From begin to end I've had input in the process.

It was expensive for sure, but it's worth it. I do have one advise: the corset (most dresses have built in corsets) is tight, if you have problems with that you need to add a few centimeter to your own (waist) size.

Please tell me if you want to know more. I would love to buy another dress from 4 o'clock but I can't afford it right now. I'm waiting for the 'cheaper' designs.

>>7130224
I'm away from home so I can't measure it right now, but I can check for you on Saturday. I'll either post here if the thread is around or I'll start a new dress info thread.

Fair warning, though, it's cut for a pretty small cup size.

>>7130233
Thanks for the info! Did you meet in person for fitting, or just send her your measurements? And how long did it take to make?

The build in corset sounds great to me (I'm >>7130194) so I'll keep that in mind.

>>7130253
I haven't met her in person for fitting, I did send her my measurements. My measurements are the same as the designer, so it was easy for her. There is a possibility to meet her in person, I'm not sure if she charges anything for that.

I think it took 2 months, there was no need to hurry. (Asking for a design ~~ Delivery of the dress) I knew she had to work on some other bigger projects. She can work fast, if she has time. You can discuss about a deadline. I think that's the best, then she always finish items in time.

If you have any questions, please contact her. Too bad many people hesitate to contact her, I know it's scary to talk directly to a designer but she is so nice. There is no need to worry!

And build in corsets are great!

>>7130122

The corset was $30 on sale from Corset Story. It is plastic boning, but well constructed and gives a nice shape for something that isn't steel boned.

I will take pictures when I get home from work in a few hours.

>>7129773

Anon I am actually thinking of selling that AP velveteen dress if you are interested. It just doesn't fit me right.

>>7129162

Invited to a Party in wine! That was my dream dress, I obtained it recently and it's so so so beautiful!

If that's the dress you were referring to when you said it didn't fit you right, I know what you mean. I love it too much to let it go for that reason, but I have quite a large bust and a very small frame, so it fits me really oddly.

>>7130639

Yep, thats the one! I bought it because I was in love with the damn thing but my bust makes it an unflattering empire waist and makes the whole dress too damn short.

I've resigned myself to the fact I need to sell it.

>>7130240
Yeah, I figured I'd already be too big for it at 92 cm, but I look forward to your post!
I don't think I can lose any more weight from my bust/chest, just my legs, so I have a feeling it's just not to be :(

>>7130122

Here is a picture of the corset on my dress form anon. Hope that helps!

>>7130117
It's called "missing letter keys and rabbit" by Baroque.

>>7130667
Ooh, I believe this is from corset story. I'm thinking about getting their wedding corset for RHPS. How does this corset fit?

>>7130667
It's beautiful! Thanks for the pic! I might get one myself. I hadn't heard of Corset Story before

>>7130729
Be wary. Their steel corsets turn you into sausage-esque tubes.

>>7129527
Noob here, where can I get that crown bag? It's lovely.

>>7129742
Errrgggg, I wish I owned Clockwork tea party in navy. What's the fitting like?

>>7130716

The corset fits really well for what you pay for (a thirty dollar plastic boned corset). I don't recommend their steel boned corsets unless you get their waist training ones. The waist training steel boned ones give you the proper shape but their regular steel boned ones do result in a tube like shape like anon said.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
reppin' himekaji, aww yeee

in a thread full of lolis, someone's gotta do it! mostly liz lisa dresses, some taobao skirts and blouses

>What's in your wishlist?
i've had my eyes on a few liz lisa pieces on mbok/yahoojp auctions, they're last year's releases though

>What do you need?
more cream blouses and accessories, cute shoes, tattoo tights, and maybe some navy or beige OTK's
>What's your obsession?
top lel
>Most beloved/comfortable item in your wardrobe?
probably the brown cameo floral dress, it goes with just about anything, and is pretty warm/lined on the inside

>>7130750
Innocent World, I think, though it's an older piece. May have better lucky finding a replica of it (if they exist)

>Current wardrobe
Laughably small, mostly because my fun budget goes to work or other hobbies
>Wishlist
Too long to post, it's seriously ridiculous
>What do you need?
More loliable shoes and curly wigs
>Obsession
Fish prints, like Belladonna but w/ more subdued colors
>Most beloved item
Rose Stained Glass skirt
>Most comfortable
Any of the blouses. Finding a loliable blouse for my large shoulders is a toughie but all the ones I own fit perfectly

>>7130737
Seconded. I bought both an overbust and underbust corset from them and I seriously ended up more tubular than when I started. They weren't the "waist training" ones though, but the patterning is fucking awful.

>>7129895
I love how cohesive your wardrobe seems overall. I feel like you totally need one of those black x gold moitie blouses.

>>7129902
How big do you need your polkadots to be? I have the princess polkadot skirt (in the white x black though, sorry) that I need to sell...

>>7130342
SELL IT TO ME. Actually, I'm worried for the opposite reason - my bust is 80-82cm, 84 with a good push up bra, and waist 65 - do you think I'm just going to swim in it?

>>7129917
Do you want the green OP shown top left here? I'm actually currently selling it... >>7129776

>>7129922
That Baby coat you have on the way looks super cozy!

>>7130137
Took me fucking forever to find it in my size and then I probably paid too much for it, but it's mine now.

I was going to do accessories too but I own way to much ap plastic and this has taken long enough already....I also left out some taobao stuff.
>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related + shit tun of ap plastic jewelry, head bows, wrist cuffs, socks and tights
>What's in your wishlist?
I have a long long wishlist. But right now I really want Musee du Chocolat in pink.
>What do you need?
More blouses and cardigans and lavender shoes/bag
>What's your obsession?
Swiss dot fabric is the best fabric.
Also, I have a bad tendency of finding something I like and then finding every color of it on mbok
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Sugary Carnival forever. It was my first dream dress, and I love it so much.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Glass bottled tears, gotta love full back stretch. It is my go-too dress

>>7131008
forgot my coats.

>>7131008
Lovely wardrobe. Where'd you get those replica ap boleros from?

All since May. The ones with hearts on them are New and haven't arrived yet. Not including accessories because most haven't arrived yet.

>>7131126

It would probably help if I posted my wardrobe wouldn't it?

>>7131083
Thank you, got them from while they were having a special discount when you ordered more..
https://sites.google.com/site/juniefantasyparlor/kint-cutsew/nb9001
Kind of regret the purchase, they are OK quality, took forever to get them, but they ALL have different length sleeves.

>>7131083
Did some more digging, pretty sure they are originally from hear and just scalped:

My body is so so ready for the January wardrobe theme. Hope to see you guys on egl showing off your wardrobes with new additions!

I took closet/room snaps of my current wardrobe. A lot is hidden (wigs, hats, shoes, etc) but most can be seen. I should take time to make a digital inventory but.. it would take me awhile.

Happy Garden, Deco Dream, Milky Planet, Dreamy Constellation, Misty Sky, Dream Sky, Memorial Cake, Honey Cake, CBB, Freshly Picked Strawberries,Twinkle Carnival, Sugary Carnival, DDC,

Chiffon blouses with printed chiffon skirts

>>7129111
I love your middle blouse in your third pic, where's it from?
>>7128843
These are my most favourite wardrobe photos in the world :D

Anyway I dont feel like doing part 2 since it's mostly taobao/offbrand/bodyline shit and some stuff I dont have any photos for (I couldnt even find a stock photo for the AP bag wtf..)

>What's in your current wardrobe?
60% lolita 40% normalfag. Trying to replace normalfag with otome or something publically passable like that.
>What's in your wishlist?
Mostly AP dresses/skirts pre 2010, shiney things and stuff with strawberries on them.
>What do you need?
Shoes, as it should be ;P
Naw well, more accessories and definitely some nice stockings, I have 40+ pairs of cute socks for every coord but I realise I'm too tall for every single dress of mine :/ Also more velveteen stuff.
>What's your obsession?
Velvet and glitter
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Probably my btssb glittery headband, i try to find an excuse to wear it anywhere!
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Probably that starry blue op though I dont look too hot in it.

>>7128826
lol i can imagine from this thread there'd be a game to make coords out o people's wardrobe postingd

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related. It's missing all my offbrand + thrifted stuff (I don't have pics,) some AP plastic jewelry I have for sale and about 3 or so of my long sleeved IW blouses.

>What's in your wishlist?
Chocolate Rosette skirt in brown or red and a Wonder Party skirt in brown.

>What do you need?
A few more blouses and cardigans since I'm really lacking in that department.

>What's your obsession?
Skirts and Rider style jackets

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Kind of cheating because it's still in the mail but it's Aatp's Poison de lámour Princess cut JSK in red. It's one of the first pieces I lusted over when I initially got into the fashion.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Super Lovers Rider jacket

>>7131206
I'm dying from cute, anon.
Also jealous of wardrobe content.

>>7130750
It's Innocent World, but it's not up for sale on their site anymore, and isn't very common. Try posting a WTB for it, that's how I got mine.

>>7131256
what plastic jewelry are you selling by any chance? :o

>>7131324

Some assorted Throbbing Ribbon stuff, Sweet Candy set in yellow x pink, and maybe some Shy Bear + Aurora Ribbon stuff (I'm not 100% on the last two though)

>>7130998
It's >>7129895 here, thank you! I should really look into those, I want to make a proper black x gold coord (and by that I mean no gold on accessories only). The bad thing is both of them need a little bit of altering, first one is too short and the second one's back bows are floppy on me because of my narrow shoulders. A bit of taking in and an underskirt should do it tho.

>>7131330
Is Throbbing Ribbon seriously the name? lol

>>7131448
http://hellolace.net/wardrobe/angelic-pretty/type/accessories/item/28/

Either that or 'Tokimeki Ribbon' from memory

Oops supposed to be getting ready to go to work but before I knew it I was making one...

>>What's in your current wardrobe?
I don't even know. When I first started out I expected it to look like >>7128843 (which is amazing by the way), super gothic black black black, and then... classic happened? I have no clue. My wardrobe as it stands now is basically 'dark' classic with a few outliers, but I think it doesn't look very cohesive together lol.

>>What's in your wishlist?
A handful of old/midschool solid black pieces and one or two newer ones (>>7129796 basically, lol. Moitie Pleats OP and that Meta gold braid JSK are two of them...)

>>What do you need?
I'd *like* a lot of things. I'm not sure I really need anything right now. Probably a navy long sleeve blouse is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head... And cream/ivory heels.

>>What's your obsession?
Black x gold. Roses- Rose prints, rose accessories... And stained glass, lately.

>>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Probably Rose Stained Glass. It's just so, so beautiful. Someday I need the JSK too.

>>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
BTSSB Tiered JSK. It's my go-to 'fuck it' dress.

>>7128984
What a lovely, gentle looking classic wardrobe... I don't know if that's a weird way to describe it, but the colors are all just so soft looking.

>>7129267
Woah, so color cohesive! And with a slightly difficult to find color, too... I really admire wardrobes that stick to their guns like this haha

>>7129796
Gonna say it again, you have basically my dream wardrobe. goddamn.

>>7129917
That 4 o clock dress is beyond gorgeous, hot damn.

>>7131448

It seems to be called something different by different people. Throbbing Ribbon, Tokimeki Ribbon, Heartbeat Ribbon and I've seen other names too.

>>7131617
You have amazing taste. Source on the stained glass tights?

I should almost all of my lolita last year, so all but one JSK are things I've bought this year.
>not pictured: four offbrand blouses and a mass of accessories

>What's in your wishlist?
BTSSB's Claudia, AP's Holy Night Story JSK and Twinkle Princess OP (both in pink)
>What do you need?
Everything? I want more JSKs and skirts.
>What's your obsession?
Brand socks. I wish I could justify buying them more often.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Meta's Ribbon Chandelier. It was my ultimate dream dress for years.
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
Bodyline's Chocoberry JSK, my far. It's very light and is really nice for casual lolita.

>>7131787
Sold not should. Honestly, my english sometimes.

>>7131212
>>7129111 here, that is Chess Story and the blouse is from their series called the Unicorn Castle or something along those lines. Here is the link.

>>7131206
I had a dream where I sneaked into a lolita's apartment and it looked just like this. Is the purple polka dot cupboard from Daiso as well?

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Mostly AP, some IW and a few Meta/Indie things. More on the cool side as far as colors go (purples, blues, greens and neutrals) since those colors look best on me and they're my favorites.
>What's in your wishlist?
AP Chess Chocolate, Musse Du Chocolate, Fantastic Dolly, Honey Cake. IW Violets Inside Mansions, Lauretta Rose, Meta Twinkle Journey (yeah my wishlist is kinda like everyone elses ho hum)

>What's your obsession?
Roses and bows. I can't seem to have enough of them. Also mint.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Probably my Day Dream Carnival, with all the crap I went through to obtain it. I don't care if everyone has it now. I also love my Toy Parade to bits since it was my first dream item and getting made me so happy.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Probably Wonder Party. It looks decent on me without shapewear/corsets (though I usually do wear them anyway since it's more flattering) and it sits just right and the perfect length.

>>7132202
Argh so apparently I put two sugar hearts in there. I have AP's Toy Parade in mint. They seriously blend into eachother in my closet and they blend into eachother in the image. Ooops.

>>7132202
Do you honestly own two identical dresses in the same colourway?

>>7132205
Yes, I like it that much that I bought two to wear at the exact same time!

Read >>7132203
I accidentally pasted the image for the dress twice and didn't catch it since the one that was supposed to go there was similar and color and didn't catch it until it was posted.

here is my shitty small wardrobe!!!! i started collecting back in january and wish i had more, but i feel guilty enough spending as much as i have because i'm in high school & should be saving for college/adult life .____. i'm pretty proud of what i've got though!

I love stained glass windows and stars/constellations.

My Haenuli stained glass, the cut is really flattering on me and the bodice fits on me like a dream.

Probably either the surfacespell skirt or my Stained glass.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pictured are my main pieces. It's small, but I recently got rid of a lot of my pieces in order to fill up my wardrobe with things I really love. I also have a sailor sundress from BPN and a handmade ivory+brown classic dress that has bunnies on it! :D

More blouses and knitwear! I also need more matching shoes. I usually just get offbrand shoes.

Floral prints, if that's not obvious, haha. I also like hand-knitting cardigans to match my pieces.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My Mother Goose of Starry Sky. This was one of my dream items and I was so happy when I finally got it!

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
My Bouquet Tiered AP JSK. I think the former owner kind of stretched it, but it's so freaking comfortable. It can also be machine-washed, so yaaaay!

>>7130754
it's just the skirt, it's shirred in the back. It fits me well at 29" but I wouldn't go any bigger. I was a tad larger and it was a bit tight.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related, those are the majority of my main pieces.

>What's in your wishlist?
Nothing at the moment, though I think I will start hunting for ETC's Macaron print and their Pansy print in the near future.

Awesome taste, all that MM...
What's the name of the IW jacket?

jambo segulls do u like my new coord??

>>7132701
I think it's the Venessa jacket. It's lovely, but the fabric pulls threads like crazy.

>>7132707
Thanks! And oh, that's too bad... is it the kind of fabric with a very visible weave/weft? I find those fabrics tend to do that.

>>7132625
Ugh this perf wardorable ilu anon

>>7132625
Impressive. So many rare dresses. I would like to see your collection on egl's wardrobe post theme next time.

>>7130194

The Hakuoki OP! It was my most desired dream dress next to puppet circus. I couldn't be unhappy for two weeks after it arrived.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
The HMHM Red Riding Hood coat. Its so warm and cuddly!

>those first few casual dresses

I just want a casual loli wardrobe
I love that stuff

I'm trying to build my wardrobe, but I don't really know how to go about it in the most economical and effective way.

I see girls online with awesome wardrobes filled with clothing they love that fits a style they love, and I wonder how they do it.

Any tips or suggestions for a beginner?

Need more blouses and otks(I generally just go for plain colored tights, patterns intimidate me). I have two beige IW blouses not pictured I received in a lucky pack, but I'm trying to be thrifty with the blouses now. Looking at some of the plain ones F21 stocks as well as taobao. I love brand blouses but they cost about half a dress! Thrifty with bags as well.

>>7133052
Just start buying dresses you love. That's all. Go for the wishlist first, then accessorize it.

>>7133074
>those headdresses
mad jelly right here. I can't justify spending close to $100 for some roses glued onto lace though.

I think the most efficient way to do it would be to have a bunch of established loli friends who would let you try on their stuff so you can see how you feel about different styles, cuts, and brands. But since most people probably don't have that option, I second >>7133076, buy dresses you love.

Then once you have each piece, be honest with yourself about whether you love it *for you*. Does it look good on you? Do you feel good wearing it? If the answer is yes, why? Once you figure out something you like, buy things like that. If you don't like a dress for some reason, sell it, and avoid similar items in the future. Eventually you'll get a feel for your own style and be able to judge whether a new purchase will fit in with your wardrobe.

>>7132625
a-at least you don't h-have Angelica, baka anon-kun... ;_;

>>7131617
What are the two long sleeved OPs called?

>>7133136
The IW one is Rinks OP and the VM one is Lace Bustier OP! In the beginning I basically intended to fill my entire wardrobe with black high-neck long sleeved OP's, but I got distracted by jewel tones.

>>7132629
Millefleurs Rose Lace JSK. It comes with a matching bolero, too...I know someone was trying to sell theirs on the facebook sales about 3-4 months ago.

>>7133052
It's quite hard to say what the best way is for you specifically - if you're someone who has an interest in fashion already and knows what flatters you it's a lot easier than if you've come to it from jeans and t-shirts only. I came from an interest in vintage fashion as well as being a bit of a mallgoth so although I had dubious fashion sense, I knew what made me look good haha.

I think it's important to have a wardrobe you love rather than one you just like, as well as one that you will actually wear. It took me several months/years to figure out that although I liked the look of sweet lolita on people other than myself, it wasn't something that was very 'me' compared to gothic and classic. I also don't actually like wearing a lot of black on black, hence my wardrobe is mostly jewel tones.

>>7132658
34"/26" sounds fine for MM/VM....

>>7133150
>OP! In the beginning I basically intended to fill my entire wardrobe with black high-neck long sleeved OP's, but I got distracted by jewel tones.

Are you me, sis? I did the same thing.

>>7133180
>34"/26" sounds fine for MM/VM....
Confirming, I fit VM fine at those measurements. Not sure about MM which I've heard is smaller? Older pieces, at least.

>>7133184
Haha. I came to lolita from being a soul-searching former mallgawf, so that style of OP was basically my obsession in the beginning... Though I intend to find at least one more wishlist piece of that style, time spent in lolita ironed my tastes out a bit more I guess!

>>7133195
Former mallgawfs represent (I'm >>7129776
). I'm so glad I wasn't into taking outfit photos back then.

>>7133195
Most MM goes up to 68cm on the waist I think, some of them runs bigger, those measurements should be fine, maybe a bit snug but not 'can't breathe' territory

>>7133195
>>7133226
Feel ya sistas! I'm >>7128984
Trying to distance myself as far away from my mallgawf past. No black until I have a decent wadrobe of mostly light colours.

>>7129796
UGH I've been wanting echelle du sphinx ever since I missed out on ordering :( I jelly

>>7132625
I will trade you any of these for your JetJ Bisque Doll print OP, anon.

>>7133195
>>7133226
>>7133240
I am a mallgawf myself...
When I first stumbled upon lolita I was ita as shit and once out of that phase I wanted lovely black burando, but I totally made a b-line for lovely jeweltones by MM VM and IW. I look back at myself and cringe.

>>7133256
Another one of us! We should totally have a 'recovering mallgawf support group' and help steer hot topic itas to beautiful jewel pieces.

>>7132658
I fit vm and mm and have 34 inch bust, 26 inch waist. You'll be fine!

>>7133150
Thanks!

Partial closet... left out half of my main pieces in case someone from my comm recognizes me.

Here's a violets inside mansions up for auction. Good luck.

Are any of you guys going to post for the wardrobe theme? I am wondering if I should or not due to drama. Last year was pretty drama free so maybe everyone has calmed down a bit on the hate train?

>>7133293
I recognize you K.

Holy shit, that's pretty impressive for having started this year.

>>7133320
>>7133350
Yep it is Meta. It's coming in the mail, and if it's a total trainwreck IRL you'll definitely seeing it on the sales comm soon! But I've seen some Meta raschel lace pieces on other girls and they look gorgeous, so hopefully this one turns out alright too!
>gorgeous wardrobe, everything of exquisite taste
Aww thank you

>>7133311
Yeah it didn't seem like there was much drama this year, but maybe because so many awesome people posted, only itas will post this coming January so anyone with a decent closet will stand out and potentially get bashed?
I'm still deciding on whether to post mine or not too.

>>7133311
>>7133422
I spent a long time setting mine up for last Jan, and I don't feel I've really added too much to my wardrobe to really need another post so soon? Like I've probably added between 3-4 main pieces this year and some blouses, but that's really it, so I probably won't go again this year since it seemed to take so long to set that shit up last year. I did each of my pieces on my sewing dummy, maybe if I just lay them out I could get through it again.

>>7133320
Because Meta is amazing.

>>7132994
So cute! Pretty amazing considering you started earlier this year! May I ask which store the pink school bag came from?

>>7133307
Ah man thanks. Sadly, I have a no more main piece buying rule for myself for the rest of the year since there's a number of things I need to pay for (new glasses, some dental work, holidays, etc)

>>7133052
Honestly it's a lot of experimentation. Some people know already what colors/themes suit them best. Others need to sort it out. I think I look best in sweet to sweeter classic styles. I've tried out gothic and more mature styles and I just feel sad, serious, and frumpy.

I came into the fashion from mostly jeans and t-shirts. But I didn't have too much difficulty. Essentially, you start out with your first main piece(s), a blouse and legwear that match, accessories, bags, shoes, then gradually add more colors and more options. It helps if you build a wishlist, and put together coords with image programs to figure out what you want to add.

When I'm adding new colors to coordinate with, I usually go on a spree buying blouses/cardigans/boleros, tights/socks, and then usually a new pair of shoes and a bag. But I also make sure that when buying a new main piece, I have something I can use with it already that way I don't have to go nuts. Working with various styles can get a little tricky, but it's possible!

>>7133293
Partial part 2. Can't bother finding any more stock pictures.

Btw, everything on the top row, I am selling.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic attached and >>7133293 and some other stuff, like Moitie Chandelier OP, another black Meta JSK, and some IW sale stuff.

>What do you need?
Five dresses and my closet is done. DONE. Except for new releases, of course.

>What's your obsession?
BLOUSES OH MY GOD BLOUSES I love blouses. I have lots from regular/department stores or vintage, and I just love fancy blouses. They are the reason I happened to even find out what lolita fashion is.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
It's hard to decide on one in particular.
I really like Robe du Muguet a lot, but Moitie's Holy Stained Glass long OP is probably my favorite besides the Fragrant Rose Memories JSK as far as "main pieces" go. Out of blouses/accessories/etc, my favorites are the Collar Blouse from BABY (second row 1st pic) and the black Fragrant Rose Memories bag. Work great outside of lolita.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
IW Rose Petal Blouse is really comfy, but the sleeves are too damn short (2 inches longer would be perfect). Or my Black Peace Now JSK (the one on the right, second row, with the pickups).

>>7133293
>>7133471
>BOTH these are yours
WTF! All my jelly. Please make a closet post this year.

How long have you been collecting, if you don't mind my asking?

>>7131617
Versailles Rose Embroidery buddies!
I have the red JSK and love it.
What is the black longsleeved Victorian Maiden OP on the 4th row called? It's gorgeous

>>7133471
How much are you looking for the Tarot JSK? I'm interested, dropping my email if you want to contact me that way!

>>7133541
sent email!

>>7133293
What's that violin skirt called/who's it by? I might have a new dream item...

>>7133350
Yep, that's their signature lace monster dress.

>>7133427
I love Meta and have pieces of theirs with raschel lace, but this one is too much.

>>7133775
not the owner, but it is Jane Marple

>>7129162
pretty please the source for the blouse that you have in both green and black? I do love it.

>>7132658
>>7133195

34"/26" should be fine,even for some MM pieces.

I know older MM supposedly runs smaller, but I had to have Majolica taken in because it was huge on me.

>>7133245
I'm really sorry, but it was my first burando dress and I can't part with it.

If it helps, I have seen it turn up on auctions/ Tokyo Alice before. There is hope for you.

>>7132189
The lavender polka dot display case is from Swimmer a few years back. I had to get it from auctions and haven't seen any more since. They should make more!

>>7133484
Thanks! About 4 years, so not as long as a lot of other lolitas.

>>7133816
>>7133775
Yep, it's Jane Marple. I've playes violin almost my whole life and love the embroidery. It comes in a short length skirt, middle/long length skirt (the one I have) and a JSK, ehich interestingly has no flare at all in the skirt. Kind of flat. But I think the JSK is up right nowon yahoo auctions, but in the olive/khaki colorway, not the navy/blue one. Sorry I don't remember the actual name of thr series. I just call it my Jane Marple violin embroidery skirt (not vert creative) and have a few pics from the series I could post if you'd like.

>>7133830
Aw. Damn. Thanks for replying, though! I understand. It took me a long time to get over my first brand dress, and that was only after I had bought and and sold it 3 different times (and then once in a different colorway, and twice for the skirt!)
>>7133775

>>7133888
Yikes, sorry for all the typos. I'm on my old iPod Touch and it doesn't have autocorrect and freezes a lot.

Oh god. This is pretty much exactly what I aspire my wardrobe to look like in a year or two.

Victorian Maiden and Mary Magdelene dresses specifically Rococo Bouquet and St. Claire Op. I'd love to own some moitie one day too.

My h.naoto cutsew, my Meta Velvet Op (2004) is very comfortable and keeps me very warm and I also have a pair of extremely comfortable Innocent World socks.

Currently, Putumayo's Cat Window and my very old school Metamorphose Velvet Op. Soon to be, Vampire Requiem skirt and Black Cat Witch and the Apple tree skirt!
> Most comfortable items in your wardrobe?
My H.Naoto Blood cutsew, my Meta Velvet Op (2004) and an extremly comfortable pair of Innocent World socks.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
These are my main pieces. I've also got a lot of handmade, thrifted, and indie pieces as far as accessories, blouses, and shoes go. And I have just an overwhelming horde of vintage hats and patterned tights
>What's in your wishlist?
Too many things that are almost entirely black :/ I'd also really love to trade my JetJ carte de la verite for the black version, my AATP shandy polkadot for the black version, and my MM elmelia op for MM antoinette op in black
>What do you need?
NEED nothing really, WANT more shoes
>What's your obsession?
black coloways in classic style dresses
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
JetJ feerie in blue- I love the muted painting style it has and the light fabric
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
I'd say my VM flower tulle regimental. I wear it so often as a non-lolita dress and it fits like a glove without being restrictive

>>7134049
You have excellent taste, pretty much your entire wardrobe is on my wishlist.

>>7134049
This is seriously fucking perfect. You go, Glen Coco!
What is that BtSSB dress second from the top right corner? I've never seen it before! And how do you like the all-over lace JetJ OP? I thought about buying it but didn't.

I want to play but I'm worried people will recognise me by my closet...

>tfw you have a gorgeous closet you spent lots of time making
>worry about haters

>>7134229
stop being dramatic and you'll have less haters. also post your closet

>>7134229
I know that feel...though I dunno that my closet is gorgeous I just really like it.

>>7134229
Just post it. Other anons have posted their gorgeous closets as haven't gotten any hate whatsoever.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
These are most of my main pieces (everything in the pink box is the same tartan- it's so old though I couldn't find stock pics of everything). I've been a sweet lolita for quite awhile now but I only started collecting classic this past year. Unfortunately it's hard for me to be able to mix too many of my items from one wardrobe to the other for outfits (white/off-white/ivory/beige...ugh) except maybe the Bookmark skirt so it's almost like they are two separate wardrobes.

>What's in your wishlist?
AP Wonder Story, BtSSB Charme de Rouge~ Red shoes only for me, and some older pieces from AP I hardly ever see pop up.

>What do you need?
More versatile pieces so I can use them in both styles, also more hats.

>What's your obsession?
My current obsession is with the color gray though it's super hard to match stuff.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
I finally got my dream dress- Fantasic Dolly OP! That's probably top of the list but I also love all three of my BtSSB navy prints to pieces.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
The IW Biscuit JSK is super comfy and the AP bookmark skirt.

I'm >>7134229 here, this took way longer than I thought it would.

>>7134347

Part 2... got lazy after a while, so I'm just showing tops that I think have some kind of special detail/cute

>what's on your wishlist

Puppet Circus skirt in red, Rose Toilette JSK in black or red, Moitie Cathedral OP or JSK in silver. I sold them early on to fund my other projects. I don't regret doing it since it gave me a full funded scholarship (saving 80K++ in tuition) but I'm trying to buy them back

>what do you need?
Nothing really. I actually need to sell stuff! but I say that every week... and then I end up buying more things (like that pretty teatime jsk)

>What's your obsession?
cultery prints, pop colours, mini-length skirts

>most beloved item in your wardrobe?
any of the Fairywish stuff, cos they're so difficult to get. Not featured, but Excentrique corsets

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
All of them actually... I sell whatever makes me feel uncomfortable or too fragile. If I had to chose though, AP wrapping ribbon JSK in pink. I can literally wear it to *any* event, and the loose silhouette plus silky fabric is pretty awesome.

>>7134347
So much ETC! cute! I'd like to get some more etc and otome looking items in my wardrobe at some point. I'm >>7134317 and fellow feels anon.

>>7134381
ahhh yeah, I don't own any muggle clothes so my closet is literally *one* closet. I don't have separate lolita and work clothes ^^;; it makes shopping both easier and harder!!

I love that osanpo candy-chan skirt in grey, you have lots of adorable items too

>>7134347

Lovely wardrobe, where is that red JSK with white polka dots from?

>>7134428

metamorphose, they make really nice retro items. I found some stripe fabric and added the belt myself

>>7134159
Thank you! It's taken a while to really narrow it down, and there are still a few changes I'd like to make before I'm 100% happy :)
>>7134227
The btssb dress is Shandy Polkadot- it's got a great puff to it without a petticoat and the fabric is really cute- little dots with a slight metallic sheen. I love the lace JetJ! It's got a great square neckline and little flutter sleeves so I'm all about it. The lace is nice and soft and just creates a wonderful overall texture. At first the bow on the side was a little heavy but after wearing it for like 5 minutes I totally forgot about it! ( and yes mean girls)

>>7133293

If either of you are looking to sell your JM violin skirt, let me know because I'm in love.

Mah nigga

That was one of those dresses that's totally outside my usual taste, and by the time I realized how in love with it I was, it was beyond hope of getting it. Damn Meta for being impossible to find.

>>7134955
I quite like how most of your closet goes together nicely with all the wee themes and suchlike.

>>7134971
Same here. And now whenever I see it I either miss it or I am not in position to buy it
>>7134974
Thank you! I sold off most of my pieces that don't fit in this year, I'm enjoying my wardrobe much more now!

Hi Alice!

>>7134955
I've never seen anyone have the white Puppet Circus JSK! How long ago did you buy it?

>>7133241
It's amazing, but really long! It reaches almost to my knees and I expect it to be an awkward length on anyone under 5'8". You might want to keep an eye out on second hand sites, I've seen it pop up a couple times before!

>>7132625
Lovely classic collection!

>>7133293
That violin skirt is so awesome *o*

>>7135017
All my want!

>>7130224
>>7130240
Anon, don't know if you're still around but I measured Lolotte for you. Flat measurements I got 90cm as the max bust, which agrees with the stock measurements. HOWEVER, when I put on three pushup bras and boosted my bust size to 90cm and tried on the dress, it still had a little room and looked okay, not pulling funny or anything. So I think you would be fine with a 92 cm bust, though you might not be able to move your arms very much due to the cut of the dress. Hope that helps!

>>7135017
the fuck anon. how

>>7134049
what are dem victorian boots?

>>7134317
i always wonder how someone was raised to have taste so opposite to mine. i would literally never wear any of this.

>stop liking what i don't like

i'm not saying yours is inferior at all, i'm just genuinely curious how two people who like the same fashions can have such wildly different preferences. cinema doll is cute though. do you love retro things?

>>7135134
Bordello Whimsey

>>7135017
I know you too, and let it go on record that I would fornicate with your wardrobe anytime and produce adorable ornate gobelin babies.

Yay for super-quick photoshopping. :/

>>7135017
>Owns ALL them dream dresses
>loves a giant hat the most
Are you fucking kidding me?

>>7134317
Am I creepy for recognizing who you are through your wardrobe? ;__;

I love that you're venturing more into classic! I think both styles suit you very well though.

>>7135176
Haha
I love how you have mutliples of the same thing
Usually with me i want a taste of a bit of everything

>>7135375
Nope! I figured there would be at least one person... My wardrobe is rather distinctive I think since I'm the only one I know of that has all that pink plaid and also has an above average number of grey things in the same wardrobe.

But thank you! :) I'm pretty new to classic so I don't have as much confidence in making co-ordinates yet...

>>7135043
Um, around 2 years ago maybe? I waaay overpayed but at the time I had the money so I don't regret it.

>>7135017
I love your style! It's feels similar to mind but more adventurous!

>>7134999
this is so cute! name?

>>7135471
Really? Wow that's interesting. I must have missed it. PC isn't on my wish list, but I like keeping track of how often rare items pop up. I'm glad you love it despite the price tag. I feel the same way about a few of my dresses, though the internal struggle of whether or not to take the plunge can be a real mindfuck initially.

>>7135117
Thank you so much for replying! I might buy it if I see it on auction and just wear two sports bras haha

>>7135375
I do too! Mostly because of the pink tartan.

>>7135371
I'm not the closet owner, but she's got a really amazing Triple Fortune hat. Most girls I know say their Triple Fortune hats or bonnets are their favorite wardrobe item.

Sorry for being creepy. I just love your wardrobe, glitterxbeast!

>What's in your current wardrobe?
there's like 3 themes going on: lavender sweet stuff, white x pink, and old school/otome/less crazy sweet stuff. also ponies. I couldn't find a good pic of Bodyline's carousel jsk in yellow but I have that too.

>What's in your wishlist?
ballet-themed stuff, maybe DDC tiered in lavender if the price ever gets not ridiculous, Milky Planet in yellow or lavender, the rerelease Milky Planet JSKs in any color but sax would be cool. also the Wish Me Mell collab OP but I do not have $500 to blow on that set right now.

>What do you need?
more blouses, specifically a baby pink and a lavender blouse that aren't crappy bodyline unbreathable polyester. :( I'm having a hell of a time finding blouses that will fit me right. maybe I'll jump in on that new indie brand blouse order if they have a decent pink to match my sweet stuff.

>What's your obsession?
white x pink stuff and ballet-themed items (Princess Tutu fanaticism), cute lavender prints, ponies. I need more Meta stuff though, they make such awesome pieces.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
it's a three way tie between Sugar Hearts, Etoile Twins, and actually the Bodyline carousel dress. Sugar Hearts was my dream dress I spent all summer hunting down, Etoile Twins was my first dream dress and first piece I bought brand new, and first complete set I have, and the carousel dress is just super easy to wear and I never feel nervous bringing it with me travelling, it's washable and it's the first dress that made me realize I look cute in yellow and lavender. it was also altered to fit someone shorter by a previous owner so it's like doubly perfect for me.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
definitely a cross between the ETC grey jsk and the carousel dress. both are super easy to wear.

>>7134004
Aw thank you, anon. I've been feeling a bit unhappy with my wardrobe recently, and hearing that makes me feel a bit better.

This is about 90% of my dresses and skirts, there are a few pieces missing I couldn't find stock pics for yet.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
A mix of many styles I guess, though I'm growing out of most dark and gothic related pieces and trying to replace them for other styles.
>What's in your wishlist?
Excentrique bags, berets and corset stuff; ETC chocolate and fawn related prints
>What do you need?
coats/jackets, they are kind of difficult to find for me since I never find loliable stuff that fits my long torso without being too large around the waist area
>What's your obsession?
tights, tights and tights! I'm also slowly growing an obsession for the military style and library prints
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
It's a tie between MMM Gather Cross OP, JetJ Carte de la Verité and Excentrique Victorian Melancholy JSK
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
JetJ Carte de la Verité JSK

>>7135597
Seriously, you own about eight pieces I'd kill for.
Anyway, I just saw you were selling a few items and I'm quite interested in the IW Birdcage JSK. How much are you asking for it?

>>7135588
Isn't that hat from AATP?

>>7135702
Other excentrique-anon, you have fantastic taste and we should be friends. Banbury Cross is my dream skirt right there.

>>7135588
It's A&tP actually (Lady Lilith canotier)! 3F hats are too big for my head

>>7135758
>you have fantastic taste and we should be friends
Not the anon you were replying to, but I've always wondered if lolitas with a lot of brand feel that way about each other. Like, "You have a lot of fantastic burando, I have a lot of fantastic burando, we should get together with all our fantastic burando and snicker at the lesser lolitas behind their backs" or if they just felt competitive with each other, like "That bitch has a similar closet to mine... I have to out-do her!"

>>7135588
I guess she's ok with it but even in a positive thread like this, friends shouldn't post friends here :/

>>7135922
projection much?

>>7135717
$170 for the IW Birdcage bordeaux/long JSK ! I'll ship it for free if you're in the USA :)

>>7133471

Anon if you ever want to sell that JetJ Cadrage Robe my email is in the field.

My wardrobe is tiny and missing a lot at the moment... ;_;

>What's in your current wardrobe?
All this plus some offbrand blouses and blazers and coats. I sold a lot of my wardrobe when I moved, so now I'm trying to get a lot of it back! I kept only my favorites. Hopefully it will be twice as big by the end of 2014!

>What's in your wishlist?
Moitie's Iron Gate OP (yes I'm a sheep), Vampire Requiem OP, AATP's new Halloween print I can't remember the name of, Metamorphose Tim Burton collaboration, some other things

>What do you need?
Printed tights! I love the way they look with the right co-ords.

>What's your obsession?
Alice and the Pirates prints! I love their artwork. My vampire "trilogy" (Vampire Requiem, Vampire Forest, Vampire prelude) is my proudest collection, though I really really want the Vampire Requiem OP in black and would trade my JSK for it in a heartbeat.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Black Cat, Witch, and the Apple Tree JSK! It's so gorgeous. The blue is perfect, and it has little gold accents on the print that highlight the apples wonderfully. I usually think Alice and the Pirates prints are very wearable for casual outings, but this print is so gorgeous and fancy, I feel overdresses every time!

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
I love onepiece dresses and find them much more comfortable than jumperskirts, and like that I don't have to wear a blouse under them. My Vampire Forest OP is the one I wear the most, so I'd like to call it my most comfortable, but Silent Moon is super comfy and soft!

>>7136077
Oh, I'm the same anon who you emailed before! :(
If you're willing to pay more than the $350 you previously offered, that would be great, but I'm afraid I'm still not comfortable with losing so much money on Cadrage. I'm sorry!

>mfw so many girls have the BtSSB Stained Glass Koitsukihime print
Damn! Where u all get my dream print?!
I'm also very surprised about all the Puppet Circus action we got up in here

>>7129267
Name of the first navy JSK? So much want!

>>7135922
In this case, there just aren't very many people who collect Excentrique so I'd love to have someone to talk about their stuff with.

Whether or not people are competitive about wardrobes probably depends on the person.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
I don't have access to a computer right now, so I'll just list what I currently own. AATP Clockwork Aristo Kitty black jsk, Vampire Reqium black skirt, Treasure Hunt in Mystic Island ivory jsk. BTSSB Favorite Ribbon black jsk, AP Gloria black jsk, AP Holy Lantern black jsk, JetJ Crucifixion black jsk, Innocent World Victorica ivory OP, Antique Doll Blue OP. I have a couple more pieces, but I can't recall at the moment.
>What's in your wishlist?
Puppet Circus Red OP and JetJ Crucifixion Red jsk.
>What do you need?
More black everything.
>What's your obsession?
Gothic/Black or white dresses.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
I'm really in love with Holy Lantern at the moment.
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
Innocent World Victorica OP

>>7135922
For me, talking to other lolitas who own/wear a lot of brand is more entertaining because you don't have to feel awkward mentioning expensive purchases. Its also nice in groups because everyone knows whats up and there aren't any replica/bodyline/ordering FAQs to go over

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Pic related. Not pictured is a lot of off-brand wardrobe padding ( misc jewelry/pearls, blouses, shoes, fur collars and a shit ton of tights and roses ).

>What's in your wishlist?
Royal Chocolate LW JSK (2012), Love Air Mail JSK in navy, but mostly I really want the Classic Melody JSK in Ivory (the one without the sailor looking collar). Every day I regret not getting it, because I've never seen it anywhere.

>What do you need?
I need more blouses, but chiffon tops with open necks or square necks are the only tops that look best on me because of my shoulders. I also have a burning need for that IW Angel Bag. I've been checking the site religiously for updates.

>What's your obsession?
Jesus, printed tights. I've already filled up one of those large decorative boxes that Michael's sells. I have some kind of unhealthy addiction.

>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
My wardrobe is all of my dream items, so I love everything.

>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
AP's Strawberry Chiffon JSK. Seriously, I would sleep in that thing if I could.

>>7136463
>What's your obsession?
>Jesus
hahaha

Love your AP Sailor dress, btw!

>>7136296
Which Victoria do you have? The tiered one, or the 3/4 sleeve one?

>>7136638
*Victorica, whoops
because I'd love to see pics if you have the 3/4 sleeve one that is not the tiered one

>>7136296

>Victorica

If it is that OTT OP, I am so jealous of you right now, I've been looking for that dress since I became a lolita

>>7136645
You haven't been a lolita/searching for that long, then. I'm still searching for dream dresses that came out 8 years ago.

>>7136666
>I've been searching for dresses that came out in 2005
>I'm holding my lolita superiority over you because I've been into the fashion longer
>I have/am a sandy cunt

>>7136463
yet you don't have the JetJ Jesus dress?

>>7136680
>>7136638
>"why do people keep mentioning Jesus?"
>looks back at post
>"oh."
I have not had enough sleep if I'm forgetting to proofread for random word placement.
But I have to say, if JetJ version's Jesus was that one with the derp face, I'd get it in a heartbeat just because.

>>7136670
I never said I was superior, I just hate when people whine about how hard it is to find their dream dress when they haven't been looking for long.

>>7136696
It's worse if you're looking for some random goth brand item that doesn't hold its value as well as lolita brands tend to. At least there's a bigger market for the resale of lolita items so chances are someone will think of selling their item rather than just donating or throwing it out...

>>7136059
Shit I'm sorry, I didn't realise it's the long version you're selling. Long dresses are really unflattering on me so I'll have to pass.

>>7135758
aw thank you anon, I'm glad to see I'm not the only Excentrique anon out there. I really hope you find the skirt some day, it's really a great piece. I'm also looking to find the matching jacket. This series is just too beautiful!

>>7137148
There are lots of Excentrique lovers out there bros, it's a major brand with its own shop in a mall, MM/VM/JetJ don't even have one.

>>7137237
For all that, you'd think it wasn't so hard to get it outside Japan...

>tfw I would buy tons of excentrique if they had english support/shipped overseas

>>7137245
Lorina Liddell stocks a little bit if Excentrique and they might do special orders if you ask

>>7133245

I will happily buy JetJ Cadrage Robe from you anon!

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Nothing worth mentioning, I've just started collecting.
>What's in your wishlist?
Pic related. Red border = one of these.
>What do you need?
Lots of basics like blouses and pettis.
>What's your obsession?
Floral dresses and religious prints
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
IW Rose Basket Angel long JSK
>Most confortable item in your wardrobe?
MmM Small Flower Embroidery OP

>>7137245
It's probably because they have so many local fans that they don't care so much about the international ones.

>>7137763
Can't that be said for several of the brands, if not all of them?

>>7136077 and >>7137527
girl, please see >>7136131
because the items from >>7133245
are the same as the first row of >>7133471
meaning that >>7133245 and >>7133293 and >>7133471 are the same person, who wrote >>7136131

I don't want that dress and even I know that it goes for more than 350 USD. My mate bought hers for around ~485 USD after currency conversion, and it isn't even in the colour she wanted (though admittedly they are very much the same)

>mfw I forked over more than that for DDC salopette before a re-release was announced
>mfw there are stunning wardrobes in this thread, then the pathetic ones filled with offbrand that could easily afford two brand dresses instead
>thesecheapassbitches.jpg

>>7137669
This literally made my eyes sore, so I made this for you. You said red border = wishlist, so I deleted those, as well as the ones with question marks, working under the assumption you owned all the others. But now I see your images is >shittywishlistcollage.png
so perhaps what I created is for naught. Oh well. I don't see MmM Small Flower Embroidery OP or IW Rose Basket Angel long JSK in the image you posted, so.... oops? Have this image anyway anon. Your pic literally made my eyes hurt trying to figure out what is/isn't in your closet with the red borders.

Those of you who own the super rare/"status" pieces...do you really like them, or does the fact that they're sought after play into why you bought them? I don't mean to be rude, I'm just always curious.

>>7138058
>mfw you spent that much on shitty printed overalls
>mfw i spent mad money on my Alice and the Pirates Midsummer Night JSK and it's probably going to be fucking rereleased in that exact colorway because of the online customer survey thing
what is going on with that survey, anyway? were any results declared, or is it still going on? i swear VR and Midsummer are going to be the two AatP prints they bring back.

sage for unrelated, and no contribootin. i don't want to post my shitty closet after seeing all these fucking fantastic ones.

>>7138090
That post was so confusing, I eventually figured out that things in red meant she only wanted one of the versions of the things in the box, and doesn't own anything in the pic. I don't know why she posted in a wardrobe thread without actually sharing her wardrobe.

>>7138100
Was going to post asking the same thing, but I couldn't tell if she was retarded for posting her wishlist in a wardrobe or I was for not being able to tell if it was...

>>7138093
Which ones do you consider rare/"status" pieces? Just Iron Gate or Puppet Circus? Or are we including others?

I'm >>7136116 and a year ago I would have considered Silent Moon OP to be a status piece, but the hype seemed to die down pretty quickly. I bought mine secondhand, so there was a bit of a search for this particular length and color, but it wasn't hard to find compared to some girls who stalk the sales comm every day. I simply visited a secondhand site and got lucky it showed up. I do still think of it as a status piece though, and that makes me like it a lot more. I obviously like the print because it fits in with the vampire theme I have going, but if people hadn't made such a big deal out of it when the first pictures showed up online, I most likely would have skipped it and waited for the next AATP print. It's not structured like other lolita OPs. My sister calls it my "goth nightgown".

>>7138100
>ones in boxes meant she only wanted ONE
jfc is that what all that shit meant?! then wtf was with the answers to the most beloved and most comfortable pieces? was she in la-la-land when she answered those questions too?

>>7137669
There's a whyteleafe OP long sleeve in navy going for about 24000yen on rakuten auction.
Can't be bothered linking it, but if you want it enough you will find it.

Also this is a wardrobe thread.

>>7138103
Iron Gate/Puppet Circus/Lotta, but also whatever pieces are both at least somewhat rare and super popular at the moment. The pieces all the e-famous lolitas have. Like, I'd call Claudia a status piece, and Silent Moon maybe a year ago.

>>7138093
>>7138103

personally this is a shortlist of what i consider a rare or status piece. not sure about the rest of ya'll, so feel free to add to it:

AatP Midsummer Night
AatP Vampire Requiem
AatP Seraphim Stained glass
BtSSB Fragrant Rose Memories
BtSSB Moon Princess Stained Glass
BtSSB Pockets Embroidery original JSK
MmM Iron Gate
MmM Candelabra capelet/skirt/JSK
MmM Gothic Arch
MmM Blue Roses OP
MmM Net OP
AP Puppet Circus
AP Cat's Tea Party
AP Day Dream Carnival
AP Gloria
Meta Twinkle Journey

that's all I can think of for now. it's late here so i'm sure i'm missing a lot of really good ones

>>7138119
As someone who has bought and sold a lot of status pieces, I would have to say that the money I spent almost makes it mean more than the search. The search is annoying, and people get lucky all the time like >>7138103
saying she happened on SM without much work. More than once I've been really pissed that someone commented on a sales post just mere seconds before I did, and got the dress, when I had been searching for years for it to pop up. Maybe it sounds shallow to say that the amount of money I spent on it makes it more valuable personally to me, but I consider the money I put into lolita just as much or even more "work" than the time and effort of culling through secondhand sites, auctions, sales posts, etc. Those hours I spend at my job are what earn the dollars I spend on lolita, and the hunt is not a positive or meaningful thing to me. I'd rather pay out the ass for a dream dress than get it for a low or decent price after months or years of constant searching.

tl;dr I have other shit to do than search for my dream items. Please let me just pay a scalper an absurd amount during a quick transaction so I can feed my cat, buy my groceries, get to my job, visit my folks, pay my rent, and get with all the other necessary shit in my life.

>>7138123
I'd add

BTSSB Claudia
IW Lotta (only nordic blue, though)
IW Grazia

From ones I saw browsing this thread, but some of these might not be as popular these days?

>>7138123
I think DDC is less of a status pieces now since the reservation, everyone has it. Personally, I think a status piece needs to be rare and coveted.

>>7138090
>>7138104
Oh man I'm so sorry for having someone make that for me when I was just being drunk at 3 am. I don't know what the fuck I was doing. Here's a pic of my actual wardrobe. The Baby OP is going to go though.

>>7138093
I have a number of rare status pieces.
I love them for their beauty and enjoy wearing them. All of 5 lolis know the true extent of my wardrobe. I rarely post pics online and generally wear mid tier pieces to meets.
I don't use them to get noticed or accolades. It just happens that many of the pieces I love carry status.
I have also sold status pieces when they don't suit me or make me happy. I have bought and sold Lotta Deer 3 times because it just wasn't the right dress for me. If I were in it to get noticed I would have kept it and posted many pictures online because popular dress.
I am also just as likely to get excited and to wear random status free dresses (I love random Meta shit)

>>7138127
I am the same. I get a bit OCD when I have a dream dress that I have not yet acquired and it agitates me. I would rather just pay a shitton of money, get the dress, and have my anxiety go away than spend forever searching.
Fortunately, after 5 years in the fashion I only have 1 piece left to obsess over. All the others I have tracked down.

>What's in your current wardrobe?
Lots of stuff, all sweet pretty much. Won't list as I have 61 main pieces (dresses and skirts) at last count, and 4 more on the way. Yes, I need to downsize.
>What's in your wishlist?
Angelic Pretty Gloria (skirt, wine), Glass Doll (black or white OP, but any really), engineer boots in any colour.
>What do you need?
New blouses, especially chiffon. I guess some more classy shoes as well.
>What's your obsession?
Angelic Pretty in general.
>Most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Probably my black Sugary Carnival skirt, it was my first dream print and it's just so easy to wear.
>Most comfortable item in your wardrobe?
BTSSB rider jacket.

>>7138955
Could you post your favorite 10 items? Your wardrobe sounds gorgeous and I'd love to see a little bit of it.

>>7138479
haha no problem. I felt that sense of accomplishment that comes after having cleaned a room in the house or something.
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your pink IW Rose Cage Angel? A girl in my comm wants to sell me her ivory one, but I don't know if it's more than I should pay, if it'll end up on a secondhand site or something.

>>7139629
I got it off the comm sales and paid €180/$245 for it. I'm not sure which colour you're interested in but there are a black and ivory one up for sale right now http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/22171726.html

>>7139629
I got it off the comm sales and paid €180/$245 for it. There are a black and ivory one up for sale right now http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/22171726.html.. It seems to me the ivory is rarer or at least worth more than the other two colourways.

>>7138996
Here's my top 10 currently. I used to love pink but I'm moving more towards blacks and reds, it seems.
