hi i reckamend a wite blause like the one in the pikshure

>>7920862
Bro I'm not even a lolita and I know there's a coord help thread >>7899681

>>7920862
You're going to have to give us a bit more than that. Can you imagine a coord for it? What in your wardrobe would work?

I think it would look nice with some fire to contrast the ice!

Is that a fucking Frozen jsk?

Is this the new coord thread? Okay, cool. Just bought babby's first Fluevogs and I'd love some ideas for how to wear them aside from solid pieces in matching colors. Not lolita, obvs, more in the casual jfashion spectrum.

>>7920862
Anon was being snarky, but they're right - a white blouse is probably the best way to go. Chiffon would give the outfit an ethereal look. Maybe some tall white boots, to play up the winter princess look?

>>7926314

I would still like some coord ideas? http://www.pinterest.com/mboarder/my-wardrobe/

>>7926314
You can't wear those ugly ass shoes with any jfash to be honest. I can't see anyone pulling those off with any category of jfashion.

>>7926510
>let me post a snarky, bitchy gif with no context
How cool of you. Welcome to 4chan, little teenager. Those two kids are fucking disgusting. Don't post this again.

I fell in love with this print but I have no idea how to coord it. I was thinking about getting the headdress but I'd like to see what else I can do!

>>7927004
I actually think that a madonna crown would really suit this...

>>7926979
Really? I thought they looked like a more rugged version of those pastel fairy kei sneakers that were popular for a while. Oh well, my feet are still happy.

>>7927009
>Ragnarok
>Madonna

>>7927004
Yes get the headdress so I can live vicariously through you!
I'll pull something together in a minute

>>7927009

>tacky christian accessory made out of bbq sticks
>Norse mythology

Honey, no.

>>7927363
>>7927344
Sorry I meant the veil that goes behind madonna crowns, not the actual crown itself. Do like a milkmaid braid hairstyle and then the veil behind that.

>>7927004
The theme is so good but the execution is so awful.

Pic related is my first try at otome. Any thoughts?

>>7926314
I don't think you'd necessarily get them into an outfit that would look specifically jfash, but you could definitely wear them as part of a pastel outfit.

>>7927442
Mantilla. The word is mantilla.

>>7927509
Gracias! I actually have a one but I hadn't worn it and I said my little sister could borrow it. She put it in her room as a tablecloth type thing and won't give it back, which sucks because I still want to wear it occasionally. It doesn't even go with her room decor, but I get in a screaming match with our parents every time I go and try to take it back from her, because she wants to keep it even though it looks like shit in her room. I swear, she is doing it just to spite me.

>>7927474
Horrible

>>7927545
That doesn't really help. What's so horrible about it? How can I improve?

>>7927331
I think they're cute anon

I just got this dress and I have no idea how to coord it in a look that isn't extremely basic. I've never worn anything but pastel-vomit AP so this is a challenge for me... I'm trying to change my style to a more mature sweet though.

The bag is just something I own that might work? I also am going to purchase gold teaparties and a gold bag (since I've heard to match your bag to your shoes). The necklace isn't the one pictured, its a BTSSB one I couldn't find a stock photo of. Any ideas how to make this less basic/boring?

>>7928037
Princess sleeved blouse in pink and some gold shoes plus a pink or gold purse.

Just got pic related. I don't like the shoes and AP didn't have any socks. What would look good? I'm thinking brown shoes and some sort of leggings or stockings, but I'm not sure.

>>7928203
>didn't like the shoes
but theyre so cute

>>7928215
They're clunky and too large and I just don't like them. Plus I'm tall enough. I don't need no extra 9cm on my height.

>>7928203
Something like these for hosiery?

>>7928203

There's this one from AP Utsunomiya with different colourways from what you imagined, but the shoes don't match and that shade of mint would be a bitch to match.

Personally I'd just go with ivory tights or socks (maybe with a music note pattern like anon above suggests) and a white blouse. Any pair of brown lolita shoes would probably work.

Since the old coord help died, I assume it would be appropriate to ask here. Been eyeing this on and off for a while, but I've never coorded something so busy. Any ideas? Completely lost.

>>7928238

eegh. should be *ivory blouse instead of white, oops.

>>7928276

That particular dress isn't too hard, I think. If you don't mind being a little boring, then a lacey frilly black blouse, black tights and brown shoes would be the easy route.

If you're after a bit more drama than princess sleeves, then you could try adding a few colours in, eg- a red or blue bolero instead of black blouse, a mocha-coloured bag, a more colourful headdress, that sort of thing.

I have nothing in my current wordrobe that fit that jsk. I'm pretty new and havent collectet alot of stuff yet, so I bought this and planing to work around it to build a coord, but cant really decide on blouse, shoes accessories or anything, so it would be really nice with some coord ideas. :) thank you.

>>7926138
Yes this is a fucking frozen jsk. but not why i bought it tho.

>>7928230
Where on earth can I find these? I need them in my life.

>>7927519
Buy her a shitty one from eBay that matches her room a bit better and swap them when she's out since it's your fucking mantilla.

>>7926058
I give free rains, just imagination

>>7928326
It has the brand name right there on the picture.

>>7926138
Haha I know right, now everyone will think you're a wannabe little-girl

>>7928455
More like that you have shit taste in movies.

>>7928457
Please keep to the topic please

>>7928276
Please tell me the sauce on this dress!
Little Red Riding Hood is my favourite fairytale and the illustration is beautiful.

As for coording, play up the black and gold perhaps? Lacy black tights, gold shoes, something gold in your hair.

>>7928529
It's JetJ, Grimm something JSK.

>>7928492
No. You should go to the coord thread.
Lets make this a stupid prints thread. Dumping what I have.

This isn't a co-ord thread, it's a fucking car crash thread. Also >>7920862 is hideous. Would match well with a refund or the bin.

>>7920862
It's nearly impossible to find loliable shoes in a color that fits. So hear you go. My google fu sucks.

>>7928449
I tried that before I asked. They're not listed. Not on Rakuten, Closetbaby, or any where else I tried. Thanks for your imput.

>>7920862
Collage for you!

>>7929111
They are Innocent World tights anon. It says it right there. Of course they aren't readily available on Rakuten. You have to stalk sales posts to see if someone will ever sell them. How new are you?

>>7929128
I understand they're Innocent World tights. Logic says the first place any person should check is the original maker's site. Then check second hand sites after. Having no luck finding them, I asked if anyone knew if they were available anywhere. Why are you treating this like a crime?

>>7929135
I'm >>7929128
I think you are confusing me with the first anon you asked.
I'm not treating it like a crime defensive chan. I'm just not babying you in telling you where to look. Try posting a wtb post instead of asking people to find it for you.

>>7929135
mu-fish has replicas if you're into that sort of thing

Any blouse suggestions for Moon Drop? The chest ribbon is throwing me off.

I was just having fun with this but I actually have no idea how to coord this. I'm unsure how fond I am of this jsk but it's growing on me. Anyone else have ideas on how to coord it?

>>7929333
Those look really good with a bolero!
Blouses that are relatively plain with smaller collars look better.

>>7930220
I tried an Antique Beast chiffon bolero and it looked awful. Switched it for an IW short sleeved bolero and it looked okay (sorry for the awful photo), but the bow peeks out really awkwardly. Would a blouse like fairy pearl be okay?

>>7930234
I think the blouse would be perfect!

>>7930199
dont overdo/force the theme like that

>>7930199
Agree with >>7930313, have some neutral pieces in there too, like a beret instead of the headband..

>>7930199

I'm in disagreement with the other two.

Don't overdo the theme if you're looking to skate under the radar, eg- if you're wearing toned down lolita to go buy groceries, or going out with normalfag friends.

If you're wearing it for a meet or for Halloween, though, I don't see why you shouldn't go overboard with the theme in full.

Only thing I would remove from the collage is the bat headband, I would have to see it on an actual person's head before being convinced it doesn't look "off".

>>7928529
>>7928531
It is the JetJ Ete Des Contes de Grimm JSK. I decided to purchase this so I hope I do this justice. This is my first JetJ piece!

>>7930199
I don't understand why anyone bought this dress with this ugly print. Cthulu is not kawaii.

>>7930425
> implying all lolita is uguu kawaii

>>7930452
It's not, but still this print does not fall anywhere near the lolita aesthetic.

>>7930323
>>7930339
yeah i just got some pieces that goes with the theme (but not necessarily things i'd wear all together at the same time). i'm not wearing this and was just making it for fun so I didn't include any staples like white blouses/tights and solid colored flats to go with this. It's not a thing I would wear but I was considering it before thinking naaah. my wardrobe is too sweet for something this "unique". I agree that a beret would look pretty nice and tone it down, especially since the print isnt blatantly everywhere

>>7929126
>>7929012
thank you guys so much :)

>>7929126
I went through 6 pages of your tumblr to find a source for the tights and I couldn't find the post for this. Mind sharing the source for the tights here?

>>7930812
http://www.spirithalloween.com/product/gg-snowflake-tight/ <--- i found them here

>>7930886
Ty! Love your tumblr btw, you have a lot of creativity!

>>7931016
Its not my tumblr, :) im not that anon xD im just the stupid thread starter that didn't know there was already a coord hel thread

>>7931025
> anon that started the thread
> xD
>making not needed threads

are you new?
drop the xD bullshit and just go by OP

>>7931025
You seem really new, better spend some more time browsing the board before you post.

I got this OP and i have shoes300 in gold... but im stuck what to do with my head because i cant get the bonnet and cant decide on legwear.

anon suggested a bridal-ish gold headpeice but im not finding any that match the theme.

Would black, navy and gold work together? I heard alot nitpicks of black and navy.

>>7932035
Pair it with cream lace tights and a cream flower crown like in the example pic. Please do not use black.

Self-postan for concrit I guess? Also Ideas for coording trick heart?
wore this for a masquerade tea party. I'm wearing wine lace tights and those classic black double-bow taobao shoes.
Accessories wise, I made the hat, rings and a little pin cushion heart ring.

>>7932035
The problem with navy x black when you don't have that colour combo on the dress is that you have to balance it very carefully. What about small gold hair combs/clips holding in a navy veil in an updo?

I got this JSK a while ago and have no idea how to coord it, pls help /cgl/
The colors slightly more pink in person.

I'm still in the middle of hunting for the perfect jacket, but some white blouse suggestions would be great. My blouse game is weak.

>>7928444
Is this a troll?

>>7927549
not that anon, but you managed to make basic colors clash and none of those clothes go well with the others.

i know otome can have colors that clash, but that's definitely not the way of doing it. the red bag feels incredibly random. if the skirt is black, your coord is boring, if it's blue, fucking why? and the brown part looks very alone eitherway. also that jacket doesn't really give out an otome feel, at least here.

i guess it and the bag are the things that bother me the most, the rest might be okay with different accessories.

>>7933526
How about going with a beige blouse, straw hat with ribbon to match the bows on the dress, beige tights and pink shoes?

>>7932283
Could you maybe lay the coord out and take a pic?

>>7927474
I think the bag is fine, navy and red go pretty well together. I don't like the jacket or the shoes though, and what color is that blouse? It looks pink-ish on my screen.
If you want to do red, I'd go for some red shoes or red accessories. Off-white blouse, and possibly a cardigan. If it's cold, wear a neutral-colored jacket or coat.

(Sorry about the terrible collage and phone photos)

Which blouse/cutsew looks best in this coordinate? The rest of my accessories are red/pink as well and I'm having a little trouble deciding.

>>7936748

The pink blouse looks like it's out -- have you tried it on? the collar looks like it would either dip below the jsk neckline, or the V-neck would look odd visually cutting into the jsk neckline.

I'm not a fan of the red socks either, it looks a bit shocking somehow.

Either the white or blue cutsew works though.

>>7936748
White or blue cutsew, if you insist on having the red socks you need something else fairly 'big' and red in there as well such as your bag or a cardigan. I assume you have either pink or blue shoes.

>>7936748
I agree with what others have said, but where did you get the blue cutsew, it's so cute!

>>7936862
Ah you're right about the neckline. I'm so focused on the colors matching that I never thought of it. Would the socks match better with a red bolero? I haven't chosen my outerwear, and it might balance things better that way.

I'm still growing my wardrobe so items are a bit limited.

>>7936973
The red socks are the only ones I have that really match this coordinate unless I chose a similar pair in black. Would that be better? I have a red cardigan that I recently sold but the buyer never paid so I may keep it and wear that. Would that be balanced enough?

>>7926979
>little teenager
how menacing!!!!

>>7936981
It's from AP actually, they had it on sale in their SF store :)

>>7936987

Red bolero would work, yes (so long as it's not a clashing red).

I like the idea of black socks, but some girls may nitpick it as it's not a major colour in the print. If you're doing black socks I'd pick the white blouse; being more colourful makes the different-coloured socks look more intentional, if that makes sense.

White socks would also work, if you're doing crew socks like these they don't to be need a matching print, they just need to be cute.

I'm planning to wear the red socks, white blouse, and red bolero. I'm actually wearing black shoes.... I haven't gotten around to ordering anything online yet and at this point a package wouldn't arrive in time. I'm going to reassemble the updated coordinate tonight and see how it looks everyone has been super helpful! I really appreciate the feedback I've gotten :)

>>7937001
ah didn't reply to you whoops!

>>7937053

No worries, hope your coord comes together nicely.

>>7936403
That sounds really cute (not OP).

>>7936748
I think a blue blouse with red shoes/bolero/purse would be cute. And white frilly ankle socks.

>>7937391
I will definitely be investing in more white/red items to go with all the new blue in my wardrobe. I'm in the middle of a big color shift right now :)

I have a winter date soon, and I have no idea what to wear,
I have a White turtleneck sweaterdress but want to wear it in a J-fashion way

I'm not used to dressing for cold weather, so I'm not sure what to expect.

I have a lot of pink and mint in my closet though

Any coord suggestions?

i really wanted pic related, but it sold out in navy l before i could snatch it, thinking about getting it in gray but what color shoes would you wear with a dress like this? ivory/white? black?

>>7937596
Pink beret with a white bow, those sheer white tights with the dots, lacy ankle socks, and himekaji platforms, something like dreamv or lizlisa would make.

>>7937756
Cute idea! But I'll be in new england, I'll probably have to wear super thick tights as well. A jacket and a scarf too.
heels are a no go as well unfortunately. I'm really digging the Beret idea.

A necklace like this would work with your idea too,

>>7937741
black shoes.

>>7937866
Whoops, I forget not everyone is in CA. It was 70 degrees by me today.

>>7937890
I'm from Cali too,
That's why I'm needing some help here lol

No headpiece yet. Is this overkill? I'm going for a sweet-classic look

Not sure what to do with this, and does the jacket look too awkward?

>>7937949
A bit, yes. Maybe switch it out for a black bustier?

>>7937893
I am officially a failure now, please forgive me. I made you a collage, though.

>>7937949
The skirt is gorgeous, but that crushed velvet jacket looks cheap... I understand the look you're going for, and would love it if only the velvet wasn't so bleh.

>>7937972
das cute
sauce on shoes?

>>7938011
It's not crushed velvet, it's the same quality as the 'velvet' on those asos dresses. Bathroom lights make it look shiner than it is irl.

I was thinking of adding some small black lace trim on it somehow, but I'm not sure if that would help

>>7938015

You can probably find them pretty easily on Taobao, but my Chrome translation wasn't working.

I need some help. I'm still pretty much in the beginner stage of lolita but I wanted to get a wig from lockshop. I really liked the auburn because I want to start getting classic pieces and I think it'll look pretty on me but theres a lot of meetups coming soon so I kinda wanted a versatile wig for now that works with my sweet wardrobe until I can start branching out more.

Pic related, my current dresses, pictures of me and the wig i wanted. The middle pic of me is the most recent, posted my selfies there to help decide which wig would work with my skintone.

>http://lockshopwigs.com/lockshop2/en/home/48-starlet-honey.html
>http://lockshopwigs.com/lockshop2/en/home/5-mermaid-royal-brown.html
>http://lockshopwigs.com/lockshop2/en/home/7-mermaid-mahogany.html
>http://lockshopwigs.com/lockshop2/en/home/14-mermaid-beachy.html

These were the other wigs I kinda wanted but I'm unsure what to pick that could work best with me. I asked my friends and they said the auburn can totally work with sweet and I shouldn't worry but I'm unfortunately still not feeling secure about this decision! Any advice is appreciated thanks!

>>7938017
Oh alright, well if it looks good in person then go for it, looks like it would be a great coord.

>>7930425
May He come and devour your soul and drain you of your sanity.

>>7930491
wtf is you're aesthetic
fucking rattles?

>>7938113
I'm a beginner with wigs as well, but my first wig was just a simple shoulder length wavy wig with straight bangs in brown. Sometimes it is best to stick with a subtle color and a simpler hairstyle so you can maintain the wig :)

>>7938769
Yeah that's why I'm iffy with the auburn but I can't decide on the other 4 which would work best. I guess if it comes down to a subtle color and simplicity, it has to be between mermaid royal brown or beachy, hm.

>>7939647
Your hair looks like it's already a naturally dark color so beachy might be nice. My hair is naturally dark brown as well so my wig is almost a dirty blonde color with some lighter Browns actually. You don't have too choose a lighter color but it's nice variety.

I've having trouble finding a blouse or fancy enough bolero that matches the ivory (??) color on Baby's Labyrinth JSK. I've coorded it with pink before but I wanted to try something else.

>>7930425
i'm a sweet lolita and i want the fuck out of that dress

Suggestions?

Recently got my hands on this dress, any idea for winter coordinate s?

>>7939957
White beret and boots.

>>7939957
Silver bracelet with hearts as well

or perhaps a straw ribboned hat instead of a beret

>>7940150
She's looking for winter Coords, not summer...

>>7940269
White Lolita coat to go over it.
thick tights. boom.

>>7940273
Straw hats are a summer acessory it would be like wearing sandals in the winter. Sure you can just wear super thick socks and boom, but that would just be a tacky mess honestly. Go for a felt hat or something.

I mean I live in the south where its hot practically all year and winter is just 60 degrees, and a straw hat in the winter is tacky. I can't imagine how stupid it would look in places that have an actual winter.

Impulse bought this last night to twin with a friend. How does this look? I feel like it's not bad, but maybe something like a pink blouse/shoes might be a little more adventurous?

>>7940512
I would try and break up the colors a little bit more. The dress is already a dark color so I would wear light socks and darker shoes. It seems to balance out the ratio of light items to dark items a little bit more.

>>7940512
I would go for the RHS and the white blouse + socks for the maximum Meta feeling.

>>7940279
I'm from Canada, it's real winter, straw hat would look stupid.

In theory I'll just wait till the summer to wear it again, I was just curious if anyone had innovative ways to make it winter ready.

>>7940588
>>7940621
Thank you! I foolishly ordered the navy but they're off Saturday/Sunday so I've contacted them about a change. Do you think a plain gold star bag would go well?

Thanks again!

I adore this dress but coording it has been driving me insane

>>7940829
I haven't seen a single good coord with it yet, even with all the matching items. So glad I missed out when I was planning on purchasing it.

I have a shameless love for this stupid whale jsk... Any suggestions are appreciated~

>>7940875
Wow sorry pic didn't attach I guess!

>>7940723
I would honestly choose silver since then you'll be wearing all cool colors. Navy, black, and white are all quite cool toned while gold is more warm.

>>7940877
I really like the Coord you're planning. The necklace is a little questionable (Just not a fan of how it looks) Maybe add some more accessories?

>>7940986
Yeah, kind of conflicted since the stars on the dress/bow are gold too.. hmm

So I'm trying to find a pair of shoes that'll match this sax and not be overly sweet. I have a bodyline pair that I thought would match, but they are way too light in color. Any ideas on where to find shoes to match this blue or when a different color idea? Maybe silver since I have the silver accessories, but man I'm having so much trouble with this.

>>7941030
Why not try working in the dark blue?

>>7941030
dark blue or silver, anon. i think silver would probably be the best, especially since you've got silver accessories covered already

and that dress is super cute!

>>7937935
I don't think it's overkill but I do think the violin socks may be a bit lost with the shoes, and given that you have the piano key wrist cuffs I would seriously consider getting the Stradivarius tights instead. If you could please get a miniature orchestra to put on your head, that would be appreciated.

>>7939921
I would've said Labyrinth was closer to white than ivory, so maybe looking for 'off-white' will work better? Obviously it's really hard because you want it to match closely in person, so maybe a chiffon blouse would be better as your skin tone will influence the colour match anyway.

>>7939955
I want to go very natural-otome with this and just say peach/cream rose hairband, peach cardigan, cream tights, and tan boots/bag.

>>7939957
I definitely think that dress lends itself to having a plain cropped cardigan or bolero over the top (with the neckline sitting under the existing collar) rather than shirt underneath - however for warmth I would wear a scoop-neck thermal underneath it. I like lighter colours in winter, so maybe a white cardigan and white tights with navy boots. A sweet-styled white coat would be nice over the top as well.

>>7940829
The only coords I've liked with it were really simple ones which were more vintage - plain blouse, plain tights, heels, bag, updo.

>>7941030
Seconding silver!

>>7941042
>>7941042
>>7941081
Thanks anons! I'll try looking for silver, it seems like my only option for now. Any ideas of brands? I'm trying to find something more elegant, but I can really only find sweet shoes that could be appropriate from antaina, and can't seem to find the silver ones. Baby doesn't seem to be selling anything in silver and I'm not sure what brands sell shoes in that color.

Thanks for any help!

I've been eyeing this for a while and I think I'm finally going to order it, but I haven't really worn a JSK with a bold center print like this before. I was definitely planning to wear it with a black blouse and black shoes, but I'm not so sure what to do about the legs. Would stained glass or cross-print tights be too much? Would black semi-sheer patterned tights work better? I'm also not quite sure what type of hair accessory would best suit the JSK. Many thanks in advance for suggestions!

I have zero ideas on what to do with this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

>>7941952
one suggestion could be if you get tights with crosses on them, you can have a black hairpiece with a cross charm on them too to fit the theme. Just one idea!

I just bought this but I'm a bit unsure about a coord for it. I was looking to see what people had done with it and was a bit uninspired. I would be grateful for any advice.

I'm mostly stuck on leg wear and shoes. Any suggestions?

>>7941860
Irregular Choice? Or look for silver Mary Jane pumps online

Looking for crit for my first "coord". It's pretty basic atm, but I'm not sure how to spice things up. I'd like to keep the all-black theme.

>>7943754
Try adding tights with a subtle lace pattern and adding a bag more suited for lolita. You can also accessorize with more gold or go for black flowers. Personally, I would switch for a nice black chiffon blouse with a large jabot or bow.

>>7943754
The thing with black is that interest is usually created by different textures or a single interesting piece. Because your outfit has 4 fairly plain things - dress, tights, bag and boots - and the one slightly more embellished blouse, by definition it will be a boring outfit. If you are on a budget probably the cheapest way to spice things up is to get a more interesting pair of tights, either black and gold or textured black such as a brocade. You can also introduce texture through things like fur boot toppers, shoe clips, a handbag accessory and hair accessories as well, or consider further gold accents with jewellery.

>>7942049
I went with rose gold accessories to pick up on the moon and stars theme and the vague pinkness about the unicorns, but this is just an idea. I also thought it would be cute in a sweeter coord.

>>7943858
The blouse I have it paired with is this one. The picture doesn't show it well, but it is chiffon. That said, I've been wanting to look for a different blouse anyway because this one can only be worn with jsks (it came to me with a button missing).

Thanks for the advice! Might I ask where that bag is from? I can't read the text.

>>7943872
I'm not on a budget at all, I'm just clueless when it comes to accessorizing. Thanks for the advice! I'm def on the prowl for a new pair of tights. Would something like this work?

Having a lot of trouble with ideas for accessorizing this,I feel there's no room for anything without throwing it off? If it helps, I have a creme bonnet with roses I wear with it already. I'd like to stick with gothic/oldschool style as well

>>7943883
>this velveteen beauty
>those fucking socks
>cream bonnet
ugh.

>>7943880
That's a Alice and the Pirates bag. I think there's only gold and brown left, though, I don't know if they're sold out on the website. Like the other anon suggested, I think fur boot toppers would be a cute addition.

>>7936279
Any suggestions for changes?

>>7943890
I can't tell if that's a bad thing or not oh god

>>7943880
Yes, I definitely think that would work. I think that bag is well out of stock, but there are some cute novelty bags on asos including a perfume bottle shaped one and a clock one. Restyle also has some more gothic bags.

>>7943909
I would suggest looking at other girls for inspiration before going out dressed up.

>>7943883
White lace-topped kneesocks, red maxipad headdress or red hairbow with white lace, and black mary janes. Bonus points if you have naturally black or dark-brown hair that is either pin-straight and long or in ringlets.

Go old school or go home.

>>7943916
>>7943891
Thanks anons! Hopefully my first coord will go well.

>>7943883
Those socks are very ugly. Get cute lolita-styled ones!

>>7943918
I have been looking around but I suppose I'm having trouble because I'm looking for worn photos for inspo instead of looking at the style as a whole?
>>7943921
Thank you for the suggestions! Do you think it'd be odd looking with the white since the dress is offwhite/vintagey red? I wear a long black wig with it and black heels, I probably should've posted a worn photo woops

>>7942382
Thanks anon, that definitely helped! But for some reason silver mary janes turns into GLITTER mary janes. While the otks are glittery... I have to go with tights or I'm going to freeze.

Thoughts on the shoes and blouse? I'm still not feeling it with this coord. Why can't I find things that match, Baby?

Could I get some advice on legwear for this? Would plain ivory tights, or ivory lace tights be better?

I'm finding the colours hard to match, since the dress itself has so many different tones

any suggestions for footwear on this? all those ones i've considered so far just seem kind of off

>>7944287
Definitely ivory lace to add a bit more texture, unless you've got some very nice boots in which case plain.

I'd love some help coording this, please! this will be my first brand piece and I've never worn classic before so I wanna do it as much justice as possible. (this would be considered classic, right?)

>>7944456
It's more like a mature sweet. You can coord it either way you want. But it can easily go either way.

>>7944287
I personally think you should wear plain ivory tights, simply because the lace tights with the dress is pattern overload. The plain tights will make it less complex and compliment the dress. Tights are accessories, not the main dish.

Which blouse, and any purse suggestions? I have a crossbody purse that would look fine with it, but I think it would get in the way of the necklace. I have some ivory lace BTSSB otks, but the stock photo is crap so I didn't include it.

I recently bought my first brand dress, i have a couple brand pieces but this is my first dress thats not bodyline.

Could you help me coord this? My previous coords had have been with JSKs and I'm having trouble coording with an OP. Pic is the dress I bought.

>>7944059
I think I'm not feeling it because everything looks too white for the ivory on the dress....did you consider dark blue for the blouse?

>>7944397
I think the far left are my current preference, the reason they are all a bit off I suspect is due to colours not matching

>>7944617
The top one, if the neck bow can be removed

i need alot of help. so far i have gold tea parties, gold star bag, gold hair accessories and the matching beret. i was going to pair it with a black blouse but i'm pretty sure that's not going to work. i should probably find a decent red blouse that will be here in time. i'm super stuck on legwear too.

>>7920862
Late to the party, but where is this dress from, OP?

>>7944397
I think boots would be really nice with this. Otherwise the ones on the left are the best out of your options. Source on these? They're gorgeous

>>7944456
If you look at AP's store blogs they have some coords up, anon!

Easy way to coord it is to buy the the blouses/cutsews and accessories that came with the series if you have the money.

>>7944844
Hm, I'll try looking for blue blouses, I wasn't set on that blouse anyway.Thanks anon. But the actual color of the dress isn't ivory, I tried to edit the picture in my collage to make the color more accurate, but I seem to have failed. Here's the actual coloring. Thanks for all your help!

>>7944857
Why not just wear a black bolero over the top of it, and black/gold harlequin socks

>>7944879
taobao :)

>>7944623
What styles do you like best? What's in your wardrobe so far? I assume you're into sweet but do you have other black pieces, etc.? If you could post a collage of your wardrobe it'd be easier to make suggestions based on what you have and what would be the most versatile additions.

Can I use this bag in a coord ? I plan to use this with a grey and black skirt, a black bustier and a deep green blouse. Should I accord the necklace color for match the gold in the bag, too ?

>>7945469

It's really hard to visualise without a picture, but I've seen this bag used plenty of times in coords both online and IRL to great effect. Go for it, just make sure you have gold accents.

>>7944623
Two different ideas for you, anon... Left is a more 'mature' take, the dress reminded me a lot of Cinema Doll so I went for a vintage inspiration. Right is trying to play up the cutesiness and make a winter-esque coordinate since it's velveteen.

>>7942376
I tried.

>>7945630
Source on the pink cutsew?

>>7945951
Angelic Pretty, it's the cutsew from Lucienne Dream.

>>7942103

Thanks for the suggestion! I've done some searching and I've only been able to find a couple of hairpieces like that, though. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Might a floral theme work too?

>>7945381
I prefer more sweet styles. The only pieces of brand I have besides this OP is a pink BtSSB cutsew, and a black AP print hairbow (name of print escapes me atm but i know it wouldn't match) Since I'm a newer lolita I'm trying to build a stronger wardrobe but right now everything is really random and doesn't fit.

>>7945525
I like both outfit suggestions!! Thank you so much anon. I didn't even think about coording it with pink, but looking at your suggestions I love it.

>>7946216
floral could work if its a subdued theme and you balance it out with your accessories. There's also a ton of colors in the print so you can use them as an accent color to your coord. Like the gold, red, etc.

Sorry if this wasn't helpful, I only looked through one shop and I'm heading to bed. I wish you luck though!

>>7946666
the good thing is, since its a solid dress, you can dress it up in numerous ways. Just keep in mind with the texture of the dress if you try to layer the op. I agree though, blackxpink is one of my favorite combos. You should look up that color combination as well as "bittersweet" in general for inspiration.

Help I have no idea what I'm doing here

>>7946760
Whoops wrong image
How did this get here I am not good with computer

>>7946762
Not feeling your accessories, and I'd probably go with plain OTK tights as knee high boots with what look like socks can be awkward. Gold and pearls seem like a nice idea but I would've gone with a gold candle pendant on a long chain, simple pearl ring and bracelet combo, and maybe another candle themed ring. Hair wise, maybe a braided updo with pearl hairpins in it and the same mini veil over the top rather than that weird yellow and white pearl plate.

>>7946803
Ugh, *plain tights rather than otk socks

>>7946805
>>7946762
>lazy boring gold blouse
>ugly offbrand crap
>solid-colored tights
Uuuuuugh

>>7946813

There is nothing wrong with solid and offbrand dude

>>7946813
What's lazy or boring about the gold blouse? Also nothing wrong with solid lights, especially if anon is wearing boots.

This is my first try at classic and third coord ever, so concrit would be greatly appreciated.

I need some help coording this. I mainly have darker colours in my wardrobe, is there any way I can make this dress work with darker colours?
Boleros don't really work for the dress because of the high waist and I'm not sure how I feel pairing it with a dark blouse.

>>7947255
Not feeling the tights. If you're going to use rose motifs, why not rose tights?

>>7947303
Would look lovely in mori style. Loose shawl and layers with earthy tones

>>7946709
Thanks a ton Anon, these are really helpful! I think I've started to have an idea of where I want to start now. Much appreciated!

>>7947312
That's an idea. I think I'll get both so I can see which look better. Also which headdress would you pick? I'm scared the red one might be a different red than the dress, but then again the black one might not look good (?) with the rest of the coord.

>>7947433
I think that black would be fine - with black tights and shoes it makes sense.

I want to get some black otks (only offbrand) for both black and dark red jsks usually in solid colors. The style i want is gothic and not classic, these socks are good enough for a dark red jsk or i have to choose solid black otks?

>>7920862
Is this JSK and bolero combo a good start? Haven't ordered either yet, and I am considering a blouse rather than the bolero, but the JSK has shirring and I wanted to hide it.
Beyond this, I'm stumped. I want to be able to acquire a new head accessory (pref with ivory and pink because I think I'm going to wear pink lace OTKs) and possibly new shoes (USsize 5.5) by the first week of Dec, so I could use some help ASAP. Thank you!

This is my first post on here so please help me if I mess anything up. I recently bought the jsk (Magic Potion's Magic Library) and I'm having trouble with a coord. I added a few things that I think would look nice. I'm not sure what accessories would go nicely with the print.

>>7948085

From your description (gothic, dark red/wine jsk), I'd pick black lace tights instead of socks. Black so that it's only one colour to match, and the lace texture gives it interest, plus you have the option of layering it over opaque tights for a different look.

Honestly, though, you're kind of going at this ass backwards. Start with the dress itself, then chose the socks to match. It's cheaper to buy a pair of matching socks than buy a dress to match a pair of socks.

<<7948741

Mhm I heard that this JSK isn't deep black... more dark grey... I am not sure if a deep black blouse and Acc go well with it?

>>7948262

I'd be wary if you have big boobs or aren't generally skinny -- high-waisted jsks can end up mid bust instead of properly underbust on bigger-busted girls. The combination with the bolero means there's a lot of fluff and layers on top, and since the rest of the skirt is high waisted, your figure will be really puffed up.

If you're fairly flat or at least kinda small on top, it's a cute combination, though. Make sure you get a nicelly fluffy petticoat to heighten the "small cute person in a lot of fluff" effect.

As for adding pink to the combo, just adding pink socks and pink headwear seems a little random, I'd add other touches of pink, such as a pink floral brooch and either a pink bag, or hang some pink charms off an ivory bag. If you have trouble sourcing them and are on a time crunch, you can look for plain ivory ribbons, pink roses are pretty easy to find, and put together a simple hairbow or brooch.

>>7948741
I think a book bag would be nice, rose theme jewellery (bitsweet on etsy makes nice stuff), if you want to keep the beret maybe a cropped blazer, seamed stockings and heels would be a nice way to keep it elegant

>>7948741
Where was this dress from again?

gulls help me find some shoes for this. It's a simple coord because it's for my parent's vow renewal, which is going to be on a cruise ship so...I went with this motif.
But I'm having trouble picking out shoes.

>>7949023
can't go wrong with navy blue or black mary janes

>>7948262
I feel like the bolero might hide the best details of the JSK.

>>7949027
What do you think of these, anon?

>>7948915
Taobao, I recently bought it from someone else.

>>7949038
I like them a lot

>>7948790
I said that because i see some people using black/white otks in gothic coords (but into only black dresses usually), i can try to use lace tights over super opaque tights or maybe lace otks?? I just have no luck to find them for cheap on ebay, only shitty fishnets. I want to coordinate wine red wool tights (yes i'm that cold during winter) with black lace otks if they exsist because wearing two pair of tights isn't really confortable.

>>7948857
I like that! I have a pair of heels that would be nice. I was thinking of a simple rose choker with a matching bracelet perhaps?

>>7949082
Ah, I know it's Taobao, but I was wondering which brand. Sorry for not specifying.

>>7949225
It says in anon's original post that it's Magic Potion.

>>7949105

Try sock dreams for lacey tights. They aren't as fancy as rose motif ones from taobao but they aren't fishnets either.

Btssb sells lace otks every now and again but they become under knee socks on me, would not recommend if you're not short.

>>7949229
God, I'm retarded. Sorry about that.

>>7949038
S-source?

>>7949038
They're cute, but the golds being different tones bugs me a bit

>>7949242
I'm only 5'2 but the BTSSB lace socks (even the replica ones) look knee length rather than otk, my legs are average but not thin as sticks so they would look awful.
There is any European shop selling good lace socks instead? I live in Italy.

I just got this and I'm in love with it, but my waist looks a little boxy when I wear it. I'm thin but my waist just isn't naturally super defined. Does anyone have any tips on making it look better? Cardigans? Something untucked? I could really use the help, fellow box-chans.

>>7950438
is it your waist or like your waist combined with your hips? if you could show a picture of it, it might help more. I was going to recommend shapewear but then I realized that might not have any effect. A cardigan would work. Also are you sure it's not your blouse tucked in that making it look like that? because maybe a cutsew or something loose could help with it as well.

>>7950438

A petticoat. A very short petticoat.

There's one that's 38cm up on AP's shop:
http://angelicpretty-onlineshop.com/products/detail.php?product_id=288

I bought mine from cmloli, but they're around 40-ish cm so I end up having to pull it up above the waistband and then wear something loose over it. Still looking for a cheaper alternative cos as much as I love AP I'm not throwing $100-120 at a petticoat.

>>7950521
I've actually used shitty leg avenue pettis for APs miniskirts and they work really well, especially the pleated ones.

>>7931038
But anon, everyone knows that OP is always a fag on le 4chans.

>>7950530

Ah, awesome, I'll go look into getting some of them. Thanks for the tip!

>>7948800
I'm super petite, so I can pull off high-waisted. But yeah, I want different ways to incorporate pink into my coord. Thank you very much for the suggestions!

>>7949034
Yeeeah I'm kind of worried about that too. I was planning on leaving it open, though. I just wanted to hide the shirring because I'm not used to it and it looks ew to me, so I wanted a bolero rather than a blouse.

I have this dress in green and I haven't been able to come up with a proper coord. I wanted to a mint chip sort of deal but none if my ideas seem good enough.

>>7950499
Think it might just be my waist, since the skirt looks fine over the hips. I'm off to work soon, but I may take a picture after. I actually tried it on with an ETC cutsew.

>>7950521
>>7950530
There's a Ricky's that carries Leg Avenue products near my job, so I may get lucky and come home with a petti. Thank you for the advice, guys!

>>7950894
Actually, found a picture of it looking pretty similar to how it does on me.

I just got this dress but is the first time I am going to coord something that isn't blue and i have no idea where or how to start can somebody help me?

I'm a little bit at a loss here for what I should do with the leg wear and a bag. I wanted to go for mostly gold and red.

>>7949923
Sorry for the late reply, anon. Hopefully you see this!

I find ebay brands to be hit or miss so when they get here I'll let you know the quality.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/310902949244?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&var=610248273500&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

>>7950646
it's just shirring? a lot of dresses have them so you're bound to get used to it. it's on the back of it anyways so you're not really going to see it. I mean, having a long length wig can help cover it a bit as well if you decide to use a blouse instead

>>7951123
Book purse and ivory tights.

Just got the lavender fur jsk, but I'm kinda stuck on the kind of blouse to wear with it, since I want the fur collar to be the focal point

>>7951728
Well my personal preference is to hide shirring? Sorry I think it's ugly and lazy-looking...?

>>7951877
you're dumb.

>>7951885
It looks like ruched fabric which is super ugly. People always bitch if a dress is fully shirred because it takes away from the rest of the dress. Have you seen the back of that jsk? It'd ugly as hell. But the front is pretty, so I still want it. I don't own any shirred dresses for a reason and I want to hide the shirring. Chill.

>>7951123
Source on the shoes?

>>7951814
You could wear a cardigan with the fur sitting on top of it.

>>7951814
That is kind of tough, since most lolita blouses already have prominent collars. You don't want to pop double collars on this. Maybe do what the previous anon suggested with a cardigan? Maybe a snowy white one?

would these sock loo good with LBC skirt in pink if I threw some gold elsewhere in the coord too?

>>7951931

>>7951975
>>7951971
a cardigan sounds like a good idea. thanks for the input!!!

I got these socks last year in a meta LP. any ideas on potential pieces I could wear these with?

>>7951877
Are you one of those people whose voice goes up at the end of every sentence? Stop that shit

>>7952386
Around here we call that the local accent?

>>7950656
Like mint chocolate? I would go with the idea of mint x white chocolate, possibly with the ivory melty royal chocolate tights, ivory blouse and chocolate themed jewellery. Either that or a light brown.

>>7951060
Red and white and gold with crown themes. Use what's on the print, white blouse with crown theme (maybe that bodyline cutsew that everyone has), white tights, red or gold shoes, decent gold mini crown or tartan bow, and that IW crown bag everyone wants

>>7952076
That's a lot of colours and prints. I'm not convinced...

>>7952325
Seeing them worn you don't really notice the cat motif, so any plain pink or lilac dress is probably fine. I'd also consider wearing them with mint or sax with the main coord colours being mint/sax x lilac and the pink being an accent

>>7952394
>That's a lot of colours and prints. I'm not convinced...
LBC has the two shades on pink and brown accents, it's just the gold the is new.

>>7952409
Ok, they look like pink and black on my screen. Still not convinced about the merits of diamond patterns with that print though

>>7952394
thank you so much anon!!!

>>7951814
So here's my idea for a coord. I'm trying to work with the things I have (the jacket, pink purse, and pink heels)
I'd rather buy a new purse than shoes, but I'm open for suggestions. I'm also a bit stuck on a headpiece. I was thinking either some ear muffs, or a beret

Our christmas meet-up is nutcracker-themed and I want to go as the sugar plum fairy, because I can't think of another opportunity to wear this dress. I usually stick to jewel tones and simpler more classic styles and have a hard time with this coord. I am mostly at loss what to do with my hair and what accessories would fit the dress and the theme. Can somebody here please help me? This coord is really out of my comfort zone.

>>7951814
Congrats anon, it's very cute.
Why not wear a simple standing collar blouse?

>>7952925
I've always thought of those as more classic/gothic rather than sweet. Not sure it'd be super flattering on me either. Thanks for the idea though!

>>7952789
It looks like you're off to a great start, the Melissas were a great idea! Looking through google images, the Sugar Plum Fairy usually has an updo (I'd look at Fanny Rosie for inspiration) and a small tiara or crown. I think a Baby-style scepter would also be a great accessory. If you want a necklace or bracelet, I'd stick with pearls to match the dress.

>>7952789
Well the sugar plum fairy has very sweet colors but shes also very elegany and regal. So i think that classic is perfect for her. You could do a style with a braid headband sort of thing with flowers and blingish sort of stuff and that could look really pretty.

>>7952943
Thanks! I love the Melissas, but I guess I have to practice walking in them a bit more...they are a bit painful and slide off my feet easily. But they are so beautiful, I just couldn't resist! I know it's a long shot, but do you have any recommendations for buying a tiara/crown?

>>7953020
I actually thought about braiding my hair like I did in pic related. Do you think this could work with a few flowers and a small tiara instead of the crown? I am afraid,that it might look unbalanced with the poofy dress and the wide princess sleeves.

>>7951814
I was looking for ita fodder on tumblr and found a collage someone made for this using iridescent purple sparkle uggs. I kind of don't want to find it again.

>>7952718
Fur muff/handbag, and fluffy earmuffs?

So far I've got this. I need to find a good blouse now, but I can't afford the 160 dollar one that I really like on IW. I just don't have the funds right now.
Besides a blouse, are there any other recommendations?

>>7953161
I'm not sure how I feel about the socks. The black in them feels disjointed with the rest of the outfit, and tights tend to look best with high heels, anyway.

>>7953059
A small tiara with flowers would be great!

>>7953059
If you search "mini tiara" there are a ton on Aliexpress, just make sure to sort by orders. Also, get some insoles! They should help the pain and slipping.

>>7953165
It's not black, it's actually a navy blue. Black wouldn't fit at all with the rest of the coord.

>>7953165
Dropped picture, sorry.

>>7953161
look up blouses on my-lolita-dress.com
gewd stuff. you could probably find a lot of it on tao bao but it's so much easier to search through for ideas.

>>7950530
Yo, This >>7950894 anon again. I found the petti pretty easy. Hopping back in to vouch for it as the perfect length for AP's shorter skirts. The poof is huge, btw. I lean way more toward otome so I'm going to wait until the poof fades a bit but I tried it with Chess Choco as well. Lengthwise it's an A+

I'll be making collages for anyone that needs help for an hour or two!

>>7927474
My take on it, I like the bag and skirt combo.

>>7953059
I think that would be super cute! I dont think it would be unbalanced if you used smaller flowers. If you used big ones, it totally would be.

>>7953291
>>7926891
one for me maybe?

>>7953291
Can you hook up an otome? >>7950438

>>7953445
I have a skirt like this and I think that loose shirts tucked in look best with them!

How would you anons coord this?

>>7953497
With striped sheer and white tights, red shoes, red blouse and a floral hair accesory that matches the whole print.

>>7953497
>>7953517
striped tights? why?

>>7953518
Learn to read, they mean these style of striped tights. The lines would reflect the lines in the print without being too overpowering, it's cohesive.

>>7953532
Exactly, anon!

>>7953427
I tried utilizing your stuff in a few different ways! Love your vintage-y coord with the strawberry Meta skirt, btw.

>>7953532
>Learn to read
I don't think it's about reading comprehension.

Also no, they would look horrible together, especially since the lines on the dress are going horizontally, vertical striped tights are going to look stupid as fuck.

Plus the rest of >>7953517 suggestions are awful.

>>7953161
What size are you? OL blouses on ebay/ali/taobao tend to have lots of ruffles down the front, which are usually good with that style of dress...
I would also recommend a cropped military-style jacket for it.

>>7953291
If you can do one for >>7951123 I'd appreciate it!

>>7951762
I thought about the book purse, but all the ones I found had a really yellowy gold instead of champagne. I don't want the gold to be too over powering, but I wouldn't mind switching if I had to.

>>7953542
What would you suggest?

>>7953445
Sorry, this ended up almost casual sweet lolita instead of otome. I hope you still find it inspirational, though?

>>7953542
Anon, the socks originally made to go with this print are vertically striped. They look fine. Chill.

>>7953633

>>7951123
I didn't really contribute that much, sorry. I just really like all the choices you made already!

>>7953517 here, I was thinking this coord in the picture. The stripes match! I couldn't find a good hair accessory online but the one pictured matches the lace on the straps of the jsk iirc so it goes with the coord. Couldn't think of a purse or accessories offhand.

>>7953450

Thanks! I have worn something very similar to the one on the top right before, just with my brown shoes. I think its ok because my hair is brown? I definitely need pink shoes though!
I am glad someone else thinks the bolero could go with this jsk, I really want to try it now.

So I just won the auction for this beautiful dress. I have suitable shoes and tights but I'm totally stuck on what sort of head piece to pair with this. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I think this one from Red Maria would work well with it.

Not sure what season you're in, but it would be cute if you made this into a winter coord. If you could find some off-brand ear muffs in the same shade of dusty rose or off-white (I couldn't spot and brand ones) and a knitted cardigan to match, you would look great. You can always look at Fanny Rosie for inspiration.
