/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>8459101
That is fugly.

>>8459108
I like the print, but yeah those colors are way off...

>>8459117
The print is butt ugly too.
Wear what you want but this looks like a 90's daycare wallpaper. Can't see how you could coord it in a cute lolita way. Try decora or fairy kei, mebbe.

>>8459101
>Tales strategy guides.
Excellent taste there. Sadly, I got nothing as far as the skirt goes.

>>8459129
This can work in fairy-lei? I thought not cause of the light green involved, isn't green a huge no-no in fairy-kei?

>>8459129
>90's daycare wallpaper

As opposed to AP's dozens and dozens childish prints such a Dreamy Baby Room or Toy Parade or...?

>>8459101
I legit thought this was nursery fabric from Joann's

>>8459129
>Day-care like design
>Not lolita

Butthurt classic detected! Fuck off grandma-kei-chan, not all of us in the fashion want to look like old hags!

It needs something... pleats... something to distract the eye from the awful print.

>>8459229
The print is meant to be in the style of a nursery quilt so yeah its sort of supposed to give off that vibe, thank you captain obvious. Any tips what blouse would go good with this though or if it could even fit a Petti? Would it be better off in an otome coord?

>>8459232
Dude, it's baby blanket fabric. Just look at it.
Here's a pic for you btw.

>>8459223
This would work fine with fairy kei.

>>8459233
>Doesn't like the actual print.

What do you have against rocking horses, deers and pink teddy bears if you're a lolita? Are you not a sweet one or something?

>>8459242
Okay then what fairy-kei pastel blouse or t-shirt would match with it and not clash with the light green?

>>8459241
...And that's a problem because? Its still decent fabric, the skirt was priced at 200 bucks ffs!

>>8459227
Yeah but at least AP's art is cute. This ain't cute.

Even I dislike Dreamy Baby Room but again at least the art was cute.

>>8459237
You'd need a better photo. Have you got a worn pic? It doesn't look like it'd fit a petti. Maybe try an otome coord.

>>8459258
What's not cute about it besides the busy colors?

>>8459258
Actually I just got the exact brand of this skirt: Its this one-- http://franchelippee.com/cherir-la-femme/

Have you heard of Franche Lippe, Cherir-La-Femme? Based on browsing the site would you say its a lolita brand or a otome brand?

>>8459288
if you need to ask if it's lolita, then it's not lolita.
If you paid $200 you're a joke

>>8459303
I'm asking if it would be lolita ENOUGH to fit a petti, have you even heard of that site/brand that I linked you to? What can you tell me about that place?

>>8459331
"lolita enough to fit a petti"
You can tell yourself if it's /full/ enough to fit a petti. There is no way this would ever work with lolita, and if you thought it thinking it would, you really need to go back and review the basics.
It would be a serious challenge to work this into a cute otome outfit, imo, and I wear otome regularly.
>>8459288
It's neither.

>>8459250
>200
>for THAT
Oh wow anon, you made me turn on the external hard drive to find a fuck to give, whoops, can't find it.

>>8459288
haha, you just paid 200, from a 'normalfag' Japanese 'brand'. Just because there are moonrunes on their site page does not mean they cater to lolitas.

>>8459245
I'd go with yellow or pink. The green can be brought in through accent jewellery and shit.

>>8459250
Shit, you paid 200 for this? Please please please tell me you are kidding.

>>8459352
So if the brand is not lolita and its not otome wtf is it and why was it at Starry Petals which is a lolita booth? Don't tell me this is just some kind of Japanese normiefag brand, is it?

>>8459363
>Nursery quilt theme
>"normalfag"

Shit man I know the Nips are crazy about anything kawaii but I didn't think even the non-alt fashions would go THAT far!

>>8459331
Why do people think fits a petti = lolita?
This is a normie skirt, at best, and no amount of petti is going to salvage that sad, elastic waist band or the lack of literally any lolita finesse.

>>8459368
>smileland
Just looked this up, it's a plus sized label of the group "Nissen" and is normally very cheap.

It looks like it could fit some flare, and if you love it then good on you for buying it. Don't regret it, just enjoy it because I dont think anyone will ever buy it off you for even half the price you paid.

>>8459250
>the skirt was priced at 200 bucks
Anon, you have more money than sense; it's not lolita or otome, it's just a regular skirt with an unfortunate fabric, good quality or not.

>>8459368
>>8459368
Honestly feel like you almost have to be a troll at this point.
Most brands in Japan aren't "x-type" or "y-type" brands. Hell, even Wonder Rocket, which most people refer to as a mori brand, sells more trendy normalfag shit than mori stuff anymore.
Franche Lippe sells some otome-esque stuff but is mostly just cute/creative clothing that falls into the general japanese normalfag fashion spectrum, yes.
As for why it was at some random person's "Lolita Booth," probably so they could pass it off on some dumb newfag like you.
Franche Lippe doesn't even really go for $200 brand new...

>>8459372
Oh I don't know, maybe because it was sold at the Starry Petals booth at AX which advertises itself as a FUCKING LOLITA BOOTH THAT USUALLY CARRIES INDIE/TAOBAO SHIT?!

But anyways I don't really care if its not loliable just as long as I can work it in a cute otome or fairy-kei coord, I'm into all types of J-fashion except mori.

>>8459387
You need to get off /cgl/ or lurk a lot more before posting (and apparently buying any more "lolita").
It's funny how you're "into all types of j-fashion" and yet were basically begging for the most basic fashion help, like what colour or kind of blouse to wear. If you can't recognize what is and is not lolita, otome, fairy kei, etc., then you really need to restart from square one. Don't buy any clothing until you actually have some inkling of what you're doing.

>>8459376
Nah its not actually Nissen Smileland, I just made that assumption based on the bag it came with, the tag on it actually says its by Franche Lippe from the Cherir La Femme line.

As for my opinion of it, I actually do really love the print, its just the colors I'm worried about working with into a decent coord that doesn't clash.

>>8459403
Nope, I have tons of AP and BTSSB burando and I know the basics of coording an OP or JSK, however while I do have an interest in various types of J-fashion, lolita is really the only one I'm experienced and well-versed in. (Apparently not THAT well versed since I figured any design that has a loli-like aesthetic and can fit a petti could maybe work as lolita)

Fairy-kei and otome I'm pretty much a noob at and have only recently begun to dip my toes into those styles, which was why I started this thread in the first place asking if this skirt was geared more towards otome style, cause I actually did have the feeling that it wasn't going to be very loliable.

>>8459406
Wear harajuku style and just do whatever the fuck you want with it. Bring out the colors in the skirt.

>>8459371
I'm basing this off of the other offerings the store has. For all I know the only one of those they've sold is sitting on OP's bed, causing her mixed emotions, mostly pain.
You could have gotten real brand for that price, I hope it makes you happy.

>>8459419
And how the fuck do I do that? What color blouse and accessories should I wear? I've never worked with something so multi-colored before...

>>8459426
>Real brand
>At Anime Expo

Pick one. It was either this or KOKOKim's stuff which never fits me or buy some overpriced Bodyline from that creepy dude that always tries to scalp it.

>>8459458
God, fuck you. Go ask your mom to spoonfeed you. I'm sure she'll be disappointed that you aren't married to a rich man yet, but at least she'll always have her PRECIOUS BABY.

>>8459467
Second hand sales exist. If youreally wanted to spend 200 at AX, you should have gotten something more productive, like hookers, and blow.

>>8459480
Geez, what sand crawled up your cunt bitchy-chan? She may be a newfag underager but in retrospect don't you think its better she's asking for our help instead of posting pics of herself all over tumblr in some unfortunate coord for all of us to laugh at like all the other itas do?

>>8459501
No, because she's being a little twat and not even really listening to the people ITT. Her attitude needs work, and we're not here to spoonfeed anyone.

>>8459501
Sand does not crawl, OP does.

>>8459510
>Implying anyone even gave her any advice worth listening.

So far it seems only one person here did exactly what she asked for: Tips on how to coord this. Everyone else is just bitching about how either the skirt sucks, she's an idiot for buying it, and that's its not lolita or even otome but just a "normalfag" fashion. None of these things while true, help her or give her the coording help that she now has to work with considering the amount of money she spent on the skirt.

Fuck, as much as I roll my eyes at the group its bitches like you that are starting to make me see why something like LACE is even needed! There's a point where constructive criticism crosses over into just pure criticism territory without any of the constructiveness noobs are in desperate need of!

>>8459458
>Buys a piece of clothing that she has no idea what to do with.
>Gets incredibly flustered and angrily tells strangers to tell her what to do with it.

>inb4 you tell me off for 'using the wrong pronouns' and I realize that I fell for a fantastic troll.

>>8459458
Ok.
>pick out a color from the print
>use it for tights/socks and blouse
>pick another color as an accent, it can be used for shoes, accessories and headwear
>and a third color just placed as a piece of jewellery or two mixed throughout.

I'd make you a few coord ideas but I am too busy right now. Why don't you try and come up with some, post them here?

>>8459458
Anon it sounds like you don't have a sense of style. Maybe clothes aren't for you.

>>8459529
You sound like you're not fit for the board dynamic.
Also, topkek, you haven't told her what to do with it either, you autistic fuck.

>>8459281
The art (even with nicer colours) isn't cute imo. It reminds me of bad art from the 90s. AP's art is so much cuter. I'm just very picky about art styles and even more so when they're on clothes.

>>8459458
green with zebra motifs and if anyone asks just say that the theme is Noah Ark

>>8459542
>You sound like you're not fit for the board dynamic.
They used green text.
All you did was spout memes.

>>8459542
I have actually. >No.8459366

That's me.

>>8459540
I've always stuck to entry-level "easy" things to coord though, i.e. stuff that isn't very loud or multi-colored.

>>8459537
Thank you anon, this is legitimately helpful and I shall try to search through my closet for colors fitting that list.

Alright. I'll genuinely help.

Mint tights, pink shoes, off/white blouse, pink cardigan/bolero. Bring the darker green/blue/whatever (your photo colour sucks) into it through jewelery and headwear.

>>8459557
>being so basic that 'pick colors from the print' doesn't occur to you naturally.
What the fuck is fashion anymore

>>8459561
Thanks anon! To give you reference, the lighting in the photo does legitimately suck, the skirt looks much better in real life and the colors in it are much lighter.

>>8459414
Well if you 'have tons' of burando, hold this up to your closet and ask yourself 'what does this match?'
The answer will be 'nothing'. You bought an odd skirt, it's evidently an overpriced Japanese brand of normalfag wear and it's not Loliable. It's too busy and juvenile for Otome. It's not alt. fashion.

Anons probably can't help you coordinate it simply because none of us would buy or wear something like this so no need to be rude.
Also the center seam looks wonky and patterns don't match so it's badly designed as well.

I'll take a stab at coordinating it cute and casual. Get a scoop-neck t-shirt or tank/beater in one of the colors on the skirt, pick the one most flattering to your face and hair. Layer a white button-down shirt over that, untucked or tied at the waist, sleeves rolled. Add plain Capri leggings under the skirt in a second color from the print. Wear white platform creepers with socks in a 3rd color or white chunky platform sandals. Add all 3 colors in small bows, barrettes, bobby pins etc to your hair or pins to the white shirt but not overboard like decora. Paint your nails in the 3 colors plus white. Add face gems in the leggings color. Make a simple multi-cord necklace using the skirt colors. Stamp or paint a white canvas tote with your initial inside a square in the shirt/leggings colors. Add a bag charm using one of the skirt motifs, alligator, umbrella, whale, deer etc. Thats the best I can think of to use the skirt in a creative, colorful way.

>>8459564
It did but I was so intimidated by the array of colors on the skirt, I wanted to make sure to ask here first, just to double check. Like I've said, I don't have experience coording something so busy and multi-colored.

>>8459101
But seriously if you really want to wear it then imo you'd be better off going for a simple coord.

A light pink blouse or white would be cute, maybe one with a peter pan collar.
I'd go for white socks, either ankle or knee length.
Tea parties in either pink or maybe a blue
Cardigan/bolero
Headbow

You could use any of these in whichever prominent colour you want to go for but try and balance it out on the top and the bottom. I wouldn't use too many as the skirt is busy on it's own
The colours I would focus on would be the white, blue and pink. They seem the easiest to coord with

I don't know if that's any help but it's the best I could think of for now

Though it might be more suited to fairy kei.

>>8459529
Multiple anons itt said to go another way with it (like fairy kei).
If you're not cut out for the board telling you your outfit is trash, especially when you're mostly demanding that other people do everything for you, then you shouldn't even be here. Not to mention there's already a coord help thread ffs.

Also, what >>8459564 said.

>>8459547
Being able to use greentext is not related to being fit for the board. Anon was clearly referring to >>8459529's comments about how we're all just a bunch of sandy cunts who don't want to cater to OP's infantile needs.

>>8459414
Then why don't you try stuffing a petticoat under it and see for yourself? I can only assume you have one due to all that brand you have

>>8459575
She was skeptical about it going with fairy-kei considering the darkish blue/green in the skirt, and I frankly am as well. Fairy-kei is supposed to be a pastels only fashion, if you're such a "pro" at this board unlike her why don't you know something this basic oh all-knowledgable anon-chan?

>>8459589
>not knowing bright pastels
top fucking kek

The ridiculous rules of lolita don't apply to other street fashions.

Are me and OP the only ones who think this is legitimately adorable? I love Franche Lippe, they're a great Jap normie brand!

IMO OP made the right call choosing this over some cheapo Bodyline costumes.

>>8459605
>Lolita rules
>Ridiculous

Spotted the LACEfag!

>>8459589
I never said I knew (or gave a shit about) fairy kei. I'm saying that people attempted to push her in another direction/give her advice (fairy kei was just one example; other anons mentioned general harajuku fashion, just a plain casual outfit, etc). and plenty of people have done so even more since then.
Even then though OP just whined and kept asking people to tell her exactly what to pair it with.

>>8459606
I think it looks like legit Ageplay wear, even more so then Dreamy Baby Room that seagulls like to always harp on.

>>8459609
Not LACEfag, the lolita rules are ridiculously anal.

>>8459617
I don't see what's so ridiculous about just requiring a petticoat or if its a JSK, a blouse? They seem pretty basic to me.

>>8459627
Those are NOT the only rules anon, don't kid yourself.
Fairy kei could work with bright pastels like in OPs skirt easily, and the dumbfucks saying otherwise clearly don't know much about jfashion.

>>8459554
Get the fuck out of lolita fashion. I don't do lolita, but even I can tell you that you paid too much for this shit skirt at AX and absolutely nothing remotely lolita related will look good with such a gaudy piece of crap. I was there and I wouldn't doubt that some brat like you would buy some shit material at an overpriced booth just because 'j fashion'. You're best bet would to just throw on random items that were sold at the Trash booth and call it a day.

You got scammed hard out of your money from a company that clearly doesn't know what they are doing. That or you went into the Artist Alley area and bought this off of someone there which is more likely the case. I wish I could see from which booth you actually purchased this from, so that we can tell them to stop targeting poor idiots like yourself.

You are not taking any concrit from anyone on here. This is a waste of helpful material to you and yet you are throwing it back in everyone's face for not spoonfeeding you links to items that could 'match'. Nothing will match the sad fabric. If you want a definition of a good nursing material, take another second look at what you bought. '

Im usually not this mean, but there are actual lovely people in here who are a part of this fashion and other j-subs and you are wasting their time.

>>8459617
I love the rules and making coords that fit them. It's a challenge but very satisfying. Of course it is easier because I use mostly lolita pieces meant for lolita but I find nothing restrictive in that. If I don't want rules, I just wear another fashion, it's simple. I'm not sure why so many people want to just keep trying to throw such non-lolita stuff into lolita fashion. There is lolita pieces for almost every size and budget if you are a little patient to find it.

Just wear lolita stuff to be lolita, why is that a hard concept?

>>8459636
She already said the vendor was Starry Petals anon, did you really read through this thread?

>>8459648
I missed that part, but I did read through most of everything. There are so many replies to so many things.

And holy shit. She bought it off of that booth. That booth that also sold anime costumes. This girl.. Is a complete idiot.

>>8459636
Its actually already been stated numerous times that there's plenty of different coords that could work with the skirt, that and its actually from normalfag Japanese brand that's very reputable that I buy from for my normie needs. (They sometimes do otome style stuff too).

Pls try harder weeb.

>mfw one of the only times an anon comes in with something that is legit normie, j-fashion instead of cosplay costume shit, a weeb who doesn't even do lolita goes off on her like autistic fuck!

If you're from the cosplay side of this board it would explain a lot.

>>8459652
Nothing at that table was over $200. Not even the Elsa cosplay. You sure you aren't saying you spent $200 at the booth in general and not just on the skirt alone? It feels like you are throwing a number in there to make yourself feel important about an item.

You said brand is expensive, but you then you say you bought this for $200 and thats not taking into account that every single booth at AX charges tax in accordance to California's laws.

>>8459652
Starry Petals is a multi-faceted booth that sells cosplay wear, general J-fashion and Taobao lolita outfits.

Just because they happen to have a cosplay section, doesn't mean its solely a cosplay shop.

>>8459660
Nah it really was $200, that's the only thing I bought from the booth. The shop lady said the reason why it was so expensive was due to it being an import, all her import items had jacked up prices.

There were actual lolita booths there and even Liz Lisa. You went to the wrong place, anon. My guess if you tried to get the cheapest item there in the hall that still had the name 'lolita' attached to it.

I googled SmileLand. It's just a Japanese store chain that makes fatty-chan sizes in regular normal, mainstream kinds of popular fashion. Nothing alternative or street fashion at all, much less lolita.

>>8459666
>Actual Lolita booths

Like who anon, mind naming a few? KOKOKim and Liz Lisa were there yes, but other then those two there weren't any other legit J-fashion brand booths.

...Unless you count indie shit like SultryVamps which I hope for your sake you don't.

>>8459668
ReadMoar.

She already mentioned she made a mistake and that the brand was actually Franche Lippee- Cherir La Femme.

Starry Petals is Milanoo tier for lolita. I'm sorry for your money loss, anon.

>>8459675
Are they really? I've bought some legit Taobao stuff from them before, they carry Infanta.

>>8459679
Image is related. They have been posted about here before.

Link to where to buy this skirt if they are a reseller from TB. I want to see the listing on this item.

>>8459414
Why are you trying to justify yourself through self-deprecation? No, you literally know nothing about IDing lolita clothing and it's embarrassing.

>>8459672
Ok, I googled that and...on their site there is more regular everyday clothes, nothing alternative, certainly nothing to indicate lolita or any other street-fashion substyle.

>>8459684
A lot of what she is saying is the opposite of another thing she is saying.

>>8459663
Congratulations on spending $200 to look like you've made a skirt out of discount $2/m fabric. I don't know to laugh at you or to feel sorry for you.

Coord ideas: Matching blue berets, ivory blouse with a neck ribbon in blue, blue shoes and plain legwear. Accessorise with a cute brooch, peppermint fox style. Repeat with pink, green or any other colours in the skirt. Like you would coord any busy print. You don't sound like you know how to dress yourself, I feel terrible for your 'wardrobe of burando'.

>>8459679
Infanta is only a tiny bit above Milanoo, don't pretend like they're any better.

>>8459686
But anon. They:

>>8459387
>advertises itself as a FUCKING LOLITA BOOTH THAT USUALLY CARRIES INDIE/TAOBAO SHIT?!

>>8459681
Pic related, though they only sold the skirt version of this last time I was there.

>>8459696
Oh boy, nothing in that picture look remotely loli-able. OP is legitimately dumb.

>>8459698
lolno

Of the skirt you purchased. I want to see a listing of this nursing blanket skirt you bought at AX. If Starry Petals is a reseller, I want to see the Taobao or other website listing of where they got this skirt, so that I can laugh at how much they overcharged you. Was that really that unclear?

>>8459695
You whut mate? Infanta is even above Bodyline, stop blatantly lying!

>>8459696
I thought about buying a Free! jacket for a Makoto cosplay at that booth, but changed my mind.

>>8459696
Lol yes, I see now! Such Rori, much frill, many coord, wow.
I'm overwhelmed by it, truthfully.
I think we need a new tag and tumblr group for these 'loliables': #notRori

>>8459707
Here is the other side of the booth to the right. Showing the jacket I was thinking of getting, but changed my mind because wasn't feeling like spending more money on stuff.

>>8459707
It may not be Rori, but I still stand by my statement about it being legitimately cute, normiefag wear. Franche Lippe is a reputable company.

>>8459703
Gomen, rorita senpai!!! I have seen the errors of my ways, Infanta is definitely superior to Bodyline! True rori clothes! Infanta is the one brand to rule them all! It's even better than those Japanese burando that the elitists keep bringing up!! Japanese burando is just over priced Milanooo!!

>>8459714
Again.. PLEASE show me the listing from them of that skirt. The skirt you purchased from that table, but on that website. I want proof instead of a bullshit link that lead to nothing related to the skirt in question.

>>8459713
That's the cosplay section of the booth retard, they do have an actual Taobao and normie jap fashion section but its small.

>>8459714
Then OP can just simply coord it like any other cute, normalfag wear and hush? Not on topic for this board even much less meriting a whole thread.

You can tell she doesn't know what she is talking about considering how much she says 'burando' in her defensive statements. No lolita says it that much. You are either trying too hard to make us like you and pity you or you seriously made out with a bad buy and all this 'burando' you own is a load of crock because you don't know how else to justify your bad purchase.

>>8459715
Hyperbole much? Did I ever imply Infanta was anywhere near legit brands like AP, IW or BTSSB? No, all I said was that it was better then Bodyline which is true and doesn't take much.

>>8459719
The other side of that area is kigus and that bit of lolita on the mannequin is all they had for 'lolita'. The rest was also more cosplay outfits because then there is a gate which separates into another booth that had very mori and otome clothing.

>>8459723
But it's not.
Infanta has been notorious for terrible quality, at least Bodyline has been cleaning up their act.

>>8459703
Infanta is a Chinese TaoBao tier lolita offbrand right? Considered somewhere in between Bodyline and brand in quality and design? Or are there levels/ranking in offbrand now? I don't buy it so I really don't know.

>>8459727
OP here! That's actually where I got this skirt from, from that "gate." Looks like it is otome-esque after all, either that or fairy-kei like some other anons have been saying.

>>8459729
>Infanta has been notorious for terrible quality
Can confirm, at my last meet someone was wearing an Infanta set for the first time and pieces were literally falling off.

>>8459732
Correct, Taobao is generally considered to be superior in quality to Bodyline albeit still nowhere near brand level. Its mid-tier to be precise.

Oh, anon. You are the worst at buying stuff. You spent so much money. image.rakuten.co.jp/stcompany/cabinet/franche_lippee_002/imgrc0067199064.jpg?_ex=60x60

>>8459736
$60.41 + ($ 9.79) to the US. It is 200g.

Oh, anon. Im so sorry. You should always, always check online before you buy anything at a convention. Ever.

>>8459733
It's a normalfag Japanese brand of fatty-chan clothing, if you google the brand, look at their site and catalogue/store it's not any kind of alternative or street fashion. They make cute, casual everyday clothes for plus size. That's it. This thread and your posts are beyond try-hard. Just make a cute coord and wear the damn thing already.

>>8459736
Oh my god, it looks even worse on the mannequin.

>>8459736
Link to this page please so I can better see that one coord the skirt has?

>>8459743
This is an even cheaper listing of the same skirt in both colourways.
>http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/stylife/item/a52947/

Here's a better pic of the skirt for anyone who still thinks its fugly:

image.rakuten.co.jp/stcompany/cabinet/franche_lippee_002/imgrc0067199064.jpg?_ex=60x60

>>8459734
I bought Infanta in my noob days and I have received items with missing and broken buttons, loose threads everywhere, uneven seams etc etc. Their 'chiffon' fabric was plasticky and thin, and creases easily.
I'd take Bodyline over that any day.

>>8459751
>>8459729
>>8459734
I can feel my heart breaking
>silently deletes infanta items off 'to buy' list
Thanks, Gulls. I'm sad, but I'd rather not have a dress than have a dress in several pieces

>>8459747
>>8459746
Im laughing so hard! OP is so dumb! $200!? Kek

>>8459746
They didn't even try to match up the fabric. Its hideous.

>>8459758
At least its legitimately cute tho normie wear, so I guess she at least has that....?

>Hideous

Shit taste in normie wear, I'd buy the shit out of that right the fuck now! In fact, I think that's just what I'm gonna do! Shame OP had to spend much more then what its really worth though, oh well sucks to be her!

>>8459756
Think of it as refining your choices of better things, maybe. I'm relieved to hear that news so I didn't buy something from them.

>>8459763
You sound like OP trying to justify her shitty clothing choices. It's a piece of hideous garbage, normalfag or not.

Op, I'd be sore too if I saw it for less and was told it isn't what I thought it was but ya gotta just admit that you didn't do your fashion homework, paid too much and have questionable taste on this item. Don't blame your gullfriends for pointing it out when you post it here. It's what we do.

>>8459756
It should be ok so long as you sew on the buttons, that was the things that were falling off.

>>8459772
I'm more afraid of hemming and seams falling apart. Buttons coming off are usually the result of lazy stitching and no back-stitching. I'm very very novice at sewing and I wouldn't want to try to go through heavy velvet (or whatever they use for their JSKs/Coats) with a machine to seal each stitch.

>>8459763
>>8459762
Nope.

>>8459780
My thoughts exactly. The pattern doesn't match up. The colors are gross. The gathering is a mess. The pattern itself is far too infantile for anyone of any age over 2. Especially for someone who had the right mind to think that $200 at a convention was a good price for a 'lolita' skirt. I don't care what brand made this skirt. Its a bad buy.

>>8459101
Wear it with a pink izod polo shirt and a pair of knee socks and colorful crocs.
Gator coord.

>>8459789
You can buy extremely high quality taobao/offbrand skirts (or even taobao JSKs/OPs) for less than $200. The fact that OP bought something so expensive without any idea how to coord it is just...
I mean, how much money do you have to have to throw it around so senselessly?

Also, I don't think it has been mentioned on this thread but...
>dat bow/cincher string at the front

No one who has a lot of brand says 'Lolita-esque' and 'Otome-kei'. It's also usually termed 'casual sweet', not 'sweet casual'. If you have brand you'd have a petti so you wouldn't have had to ask if it fits one. Or if this brand 'is lolita' after evrn a glance at their very non-lolita website.

Sorry, I think you are a plus-sized noob just trying to seem like you know more than you do.

Also, what is the coord help thread?
This didn't deserve a whole thread.

>>8459837
>This didn't deserve a whole thread.
I disagree, this thread is hilarious.

>>8459843
Well entertainment value is subjective, of course. I'm glad you are amused. But as far as an actual topic, this one is questionable whether it even belongs on /cgl/ at all.

Weeb gets a skirt
Weeb: Muh skirt
/cgl/: RAWR
And much shot was flipped that day.

What the fuck is your damage? Actually I could say that for most this thread. This is so stupid and overblown, but when is lolita fashion ever not.

That's a really cute skirt, OP! I was actually going to say, wtf kind of company prices something sort of quasi otome-kei at $200? The only thing that came to mind was Franche Lippee, and, lo and behold, it's Franche Lippee!

They don't seem to get too much attention in the lolita community, since they're not really otome nor lolita. It's kind of a nice j-fashion casual brand that's very otome/lolita feeling sometimes. Some of their stuff can even feel mori girl.

Here's a picture I found for you since I think everyone's hating on it a bit too much! It's called the "Puzzle Skirt" from what I found. I don't think it looks bad at all from afar and the print is pretty muted.

Like I said, I don't know what everyone's so angry about. It's not kawaii desu lolita fashion or one of the few otome-kei brands out there, therefore it's evil or something. Sometimes there's just nice, casual j-fash brands that don't fit into any "kei" style.

>>8459101
White blouse or cutsew. 3 main skirt colors seem to be pink, light blue, and yellow. Pick a cardigan, beret, and ankle socks in one of those colors (they don't have to all be the same). Add some cute shoes and a bag.

>>8459884
This looks like some homemade shit from etsy ffs.

>>8459480
Here's a spoon to scoop all the sand out of your vagina.

>>8459884
Some of the other colorways.

>>8459101
Don't listen to the other anons. This is ugly as fuck and not appropriate for any Jfash or even normie fashion. I suggest you make a pillow case out of it

>>8459884
People have already posted direct links and caps of the skirt. Stop trying to whiteknight and get your fat ass back to tumblr.

>>8459917
>fat ass
I'm not the losers perched on this thread, kiddo.

Don't blame me for not wanting to wade through the endless sea of salt and sand to get anything worthwhile in opinions or advice. I only saw that it looked like an LP skirt, looked it up on Rakuten, and tossed out the pic.

I do legit feel sorry for OP now, though. I actually found multiple tag pictures and it looks like 9,800 yen was about it's highest. If she's using it for normie clothing, it's just a live and learn kind of thing.

Well OP, I'm sorry you got ripped off, but just consider this as a money management lesson that cost you $200.

Always, always do your research before buying at conventions.

Actually, I'm pretty sure there was a cgl thread a year or two back about how booths at conventions didn't cater to or like lolitas, because they couldn't sell taobao stuff at inflated prices as easily to them.

>>8459702
I saw Starry Petals at Fanime a couple years ago. They were selling the dress in pic related for $160. It costs about $110 to get it straight from Infanta.

Too bad, I usually love franche lippe but damn, this is gross. I feel bad for everyone involved except Starry Petals.

>>8459884
>Its not weeb/costume fashion, therefore its evil!

Anon do you even know where you are? Normies are reviled around here, they're probably just jelly of OP that she picked out of one the few decent clothing brands sold there, meanwhile they got stuck with either Cosplay or Millano-tier lacemonster shit.

>>8459548
great advice, now please use some common sense to figure out how to link to another post.

protip: it's awfully similar to how you reply to a post.

Way too short for lolita, especially if you're plus sized.

to be honest this whole thread is hilarious but here is the short version. i expect to see this reposted one day

>>8460207
my bad

>>8459929
It was literally about a scroll up. Stop trying to defend this person. Its not hard to see the super easy photo of the skirt that was already posted.

That or you are seriously OP trying too hard to defend herself and her shit buy,

>>8459663
Lmao I work at a booth at cons and that's exactly what I tell people to make them buy our overpriced crap. You got scammed, honey.

On the Franche Lippee website, they have a similarly busy skirt coorded with a simple white top, tote bag, and flats. I think that's your best bet, OP- easy, clean, and a subtle way to incorporate your love of Jfashion into your everyday wear.

>>8459695
>Infanta is only a tiny bit above Milanoo
Anon....

>>8459736
Wow

I really feel bad for op now, it takes skill being this much of a fuck up

>>8460912
Holy shit that looks dumb as fuck. Goes to show you can't coord anything with a skirt this ugly.

>>8459884

>>8460912
This is proof that nothing can look good with this skirt. Not even the simplest items. This is right out of a daycare. Anon, you should turn it into a skirt for a child. That's your only option at this point.

>>8461043
Maybe if she's into Ageplay she could use it for that?

>>8460912
They managed to make her look like an old lady...
>reverse ageplay

>>8459243
not that anon but i have no problem with rocking horses, deer, and teddy bears. this print is just butt ugly.

>>8459101
Your only option is to burn it.

>>8460003
So many things at conventions are marked up though is it really a shock?

>>8460003
That's actually not a bad mark up. You have to take into consideration that the resellers also want to make some kind of profit, plus you're paying for the convenience of buying something onsite and not having to wait for shipping.

$200 for an ugly $60 skirt is just fucked up though.

>>8459331
That brand just sells normal clothes anon. Not lolita in the slightest.
Also you paid way too much for that skirt. It was probably only USD81?
You got ripped off.

>>8461675
The markup is over 50%. Im laughing really hard.

This has to be a troll. No one in their right mind would pay $200 for a fugly skirt they know nothing about

>>8460213
Please continue the screenies anon, this is fucking hilarious.

I swear that this is the same girl who bought this dress. Stop asking if you can make something lolita. Just. Stop. >>>>8461842

>>8460213
omg this is great. please include screenies of the original or rakuten price too!

>>8459243
I'm a sweet lolita and I love very sweet prints. But this is just an ugly print. It's ugly art end of. It doesn't matter what it's of, you can't compare it to actual cute art.

Not the anon you were asking but I think they might have the same view point

here's the edited version with the rakuten

>>8462569
I actually think its a really cute print based on the actual stock photo of it, OP just didn't take a good pic of it.

>>8461043
>Not wanting to look like you came straight out of a daycare!

Granny-chan, pls!

Just to let you know, Dreamy Baby Room is my favorite AP print as well, umad? :^)

>>8461493
That's not the same skirt OP bought, it looks like its a grandma alternative to the daycare blanket shit being discussed here.

Which is the lesser of two evils though?

>>8462805
Neither. Best to stay away from messes like that, no?

Is it just me or does the skirt OP bought look like a literal Ageplay skirt...?

>>8462801
Its so gratifying to see I made the cut with my post of the listing.

>>8462804
No, you see while that is a nice print, this is seriously stolen from a toddler's crib. Keep trying.

>>8462805
This is the same exact skirt, if not hemmed to be a bit shorter. That pattern is 100% the same and so is the ugly gathering. Are you blind or just blind?

>>8462828
It's the sheen. If it was a nicer material it wouldn't look so blatantly meant for rubbing up against hairy chodes.

>>8459736
HAW! Well look at that...

>>8462011
What's up saltychan, why you bringin hate to my thread yo, I'm really confused why y'all think we're the same person? My thread is about modification rather than co-ords, also I'm in the UK and I've been to like four conventions in my life, not including AX. Also fun fact the comment above yours was mine :^3

Anon! I found another item that you may like!

>>8465469
If the print was placed better I'd wear the fuck out of this.

>>8464784
not the person you're replying to, but probably because they're both stupid questions that really don't deserve their own threads, but you're both too dumb to check the catalog for an appropriate thread.

>>8459736
For me it's not really the pattern or shape that is really bad (it is bad, but workable). The problem is the shiny fabric. It looks like really cheap polyester fabric. If you didn't say what it cost I would probably expect that you had gotten it for $8 including shipping at aliexpress or some shit.

>>8465469
>lolitas calling anything childrish

oy vey. all my keks.

>>8461937
sorry to be that guy but you mean over 200%

>>8459756
I own a blouse by them, really nice, free DHL too.
I thin its more of a hit or miss
Maybe only use them for blouses?
