My experience with them was great! The materials are all very soft. They still have their custom size issues though, I ordered a blouse and it's too big/sits on me weirdly, but it might be my fault. (My mom advised me to add in the extra cm) and the waist turned out too big, fml. BUT, the lace is soft, one of the dresses I received is pretty heavy, too. And the Castle Innocent skirt I bought's kinda short, I have to roll my petti a few times. (I'm 5'2)

My experience has been hit or miss with them. It's a gamble with fit and lace quality. If there's a particular item you want I'd advise looking up worn pics and detail photos from other customers. You can find reviews but often the person is too new to give a good opinion so just look at the photos.

You basicly get what you see but their custom-sizing still can be hit or miss.

They also added an option to add fake lamb fur to coats recently to suit very cold winters better.

Materials- good EXCEPT tender fleece and satin. Stay far away from those. Also be sure to examine what ind of lace is being used on a scpecific lace- buy only items using eyelet, cluny or venise lace, the stretchy chemical and raschel is garbage. Their cotton is nice, not too thin, and comfortable.

Construction and fit, are okay. On par with some of the less luxurious taobao brands- ruffles serged instead of hemmed, sometimes weirdly tall or tight collars, etc. Custom sizing is hit or miss. Apparently their corset items fit quite nicely, in terms of being sturdily constructed.

Basically if there's a design they have that you REALLY like and/or you need custom sizing, go for it, otherwise it's not as good a value as taobao. Also most of their designs are better for gothic and classic, go to Bodyline for cheap sweet (or taobao).

Oops, didn't mean to reply, my internet is having a stroke

I wonder if this would look good on lower waist skirts

Has anyone here bought a coat from them? I'm curious about the fit and how warm they are.

>>7224060
I bought one two years ago, super warm wool, good quality.
It doesn't get much wear these days since I live in Australia but it has lasted this long with no problems

Only noobs or itas buy from F+F. They even manage to fuck up bloomers which are one of the most simple things to construct. Even if they didn't have shitty construction, 90% of their items are replicas.

Newfag detected.

I recently got one of their coats and it's really comfy and warm, I wear it as my standard winter coat all the time now.

I only bought this from them. The top part is "cotton," that same material you'd expect from a Snow White costume from Party City, which crinkles with friction when you pinch and rub the fabric. It was horrible.

The skirt was fine. I tore off the top so I could eventually just have the skirt.

One tip I keep hearing is to avoid their custom sizing at all costs. Their standard sizes tend to fit pretty well, but they have a history of goofing up custom orders. That's okay though, they have ton of standard sizes.

Does anyone have pictures of the grey wool they use on their coats? I'm really interested in getting one, but I'm hesitant because I can't see it in person. Is the wool natural or synthetic felt? The reviews I've seen are for red or pink coats, never grey.

I got pic related in custom size and it's so perfect, I absolutely love it. I also got some pants in custom size and they got all measurements just right, except that it was a little too wide at the top (it was high corset waist style).

>>7223949
Probably not. It would look awkward with two waistlines.

>>7224241
It is cotton and here you go.

I got a winter coat from them about 4-5 years ago. I still wear it & It still holds up...it's coming apart a little bit now but y'know after wearing it for so long that's expected. Has survived lots of different climates too since I have travelled with it.

Pic related, it's my coat back in '11

AHH! Super cute! Thank you so much anon!

I'd love to see more worn photos from this store.

>>7224234
this. they made the waist on my blouse huge and the part of the sleeve where it's supposed to sit at the shoulder goes down my arm.

>>7224618
aw, you're so cute anon-chan

I've seen some of their stuff in person, and to be honest, most of it kind of looked like crap. I've seen nice worn photos, but never anything good in real life.

Has anyone got or seen their Ghost Bride dress? I've only found reviews for the cloak online.

>>7224157
Lol. The only people who like them are newbies or have shitty taste as those are the only people who think shitty quality items are good.

I have:

and

http://neo-ludwig.com/c4/SP00154_08.jpg (skirt only)

They're not that shiny in person, however the buttons on the Scented Corsage skirt are ugly as fuck irl. I had to take them off and sew on more suitable buttons.

The black skirt is way too big for me, but that's my own fault; I added extra space because the last custom thing I bought online turned out way too small. I'm going to get it taken in.

I need someone to talk me into/out of this jacket. I've been wanting a wine jacket for a while now, but I just can't make up my mind about this one.

>>7223949
Maybe if you'd wear a really wide belt on it

>>7225351
You sound butthurt.

>>7225377
Those satin-y ribbons make me want to kms they are so gross

If you get it, you need to work with that. Change it. Gross.

>>7224592
>cotton wool
I don't think you quite know what you're talking about, here...

>>7225537
You don't seem to know what cotton felt is which is what they call 'wool'.

>>7225579
Well then that's not wool, obviously, which was the anon's question.

Trust me, I've met plenty enough people that don't know the difference between fiber and weave that I would believe someone thought cotton wool was a thing.

Anyone have pictures of this MM OP replica being worn?

I got this blouse about... three-four years back, damn. It was for a choir concert and back when I was wanting to get into lolita but didn't know of any other places than F+F. It's a good blouse, a little thin, fine construction, the seams don't strain around my waist so the sizing was accurate. Can't complain. What it mainly did for me was confirm the fact that I like crochet lace way more than any flat/thin type of lace (it's crochet lace at the bottom of the chest panel there)
I currently have the Princess Portrait high-waisted skirt in grey+brown on the way.

>>7230394
Also, maybe this isn't the place to post this but it IS a F+F thread, I guess. This is the first dress I ever fell in love with, five years ago, and somehow (even looking at it now) I'd still like to own it, just for its own sake...

Anyone happen to own this (or have worn pics)? I wonder if it would go well with lolita, even though it's meant for ega.

>>7230398
Lavender is such an ita colour.

>>7230444
Well, that's a Atelier Boz Rolando replica, so if you search that up you can find plenty of coords using it.

>>7230444
I have a lolita friend who own real Atelier Boz rolandos, and they look fantastic on her.I'm sure of the cost of the f+f roland jacket but it might be a good idea to stalk the auction sites/closet child for the real thing as they can be quite affordable and I imagine the construction and material would be a lot better.

>>7230446
~so ita~

>>7230477
yup, still ita colour.

>>7230446
I'm aware, especially with that lace job. That's why I said 'even looking at it now'.
(That said, lavender is the only pastel that looks good with my skintone. Oops.)

>>7230480
Pretty sure a color can't be ita. A combination of colors, maybe. A particularly eye-blinding shade? Sure. But lavender? One of the most popular shades in lolita? That's stretching it. Maybe not to your personal taste, that's fine, but implies that it's generally perceived as ugly but the majority of lolitas.

>>7230490
Just ignore them. They're either a troll or a noob. They probably think one of F+F's monsters are the epitome of lolita, lol.

What do you think about satin used in lolita? Me thinks pink cheap satin can be the most cringeworthy thing, but this dress looks kinda neat, at least in this colorway.
Number 2 is very similar skirt, just different fabric. Price difference is only couple of euros.

>>7230647
Fine silk satin looks good, as do most high-quality things, although it's definitely a more formal fabric. Some shiny cotton sateens are ok.
However, that is F+F, which while not always ita is definitely not high quality. The shininess in that picture is a dead giveaway that the fabric isn't very good. I don't suggest you buy that one.
