suspected underage

Can someone post the Fanny Rosie progression picture? Never get sick of seeing that.

>>8498542
I am highly interested in this as well

>>8498527
And yet her final 2013 shot still looks better than the majority of her skinnyfat bullshit. Just proves weight means jack shit when it comes to knowing how to dress yourself.

It reeks so strongly of vendetta that I'm starting to get dizzy

>>8498542
>>8498546
Found it!

>>8498562
>4 years ago

i dreamed i was old, Egg

>>8498562
Jesus, I've never seen Fanny Rosie look like that. It's really inspiring, considering she's my total inspiration for working on my lolita and myself.

>>8498562
Holy shit

>xD
Take your vendetta elsewhere.

>>8498562
Proof that money can buy taste

>>8498830
this

>>8498527
>>8498547
Where is that picture are you seeing someone skinny? Looks to me like she's always been a bit chub.

>>8498836
That's what I was thinking. She was never skinny, just average or even above.

>>8498830
Explain brand itas then.

>>8498861
color blindness

>>8498527
Belgianlita here, you sound underage and fucking retarded also who the hell is that? It smells of vendetta so badly it's sad.

>>8498861
More money than sense and budget exceeds taste.

>>8498879
Just turn this into a then and now or progression thread then.

>>8498887
I'm not the one in the pic anon but good idea let's do this

>>8498861
There's always idiots

>>8499329

>>8498567
Just letting you know that this didn't go unappreciated

>>8499334

>>8499338
that is some huge progress

>>8499338

>>8499351

>>8499355

>>8499355
>it stops at 2009
Kek, good. Because 2010-2012 she went psycho clown tier sweet and it was baaad.

>>8499349
she is inspiring both for cosplay and lolita.

>le fashionable anon, please keep up the good work

>>8499349
still can't help but love her 2007, it's not quite right but has a certain oldschool chram, with better knee socks, black/ dark brown shoes and a rectangle headdress it would be a winner.

>>8499351
she was one of the few lolitas that managed to still look decent in the early to mid 00s, especially in a an oldshool kinda way. The fact she makes her stuff makes it even more impressive.

>>8499355
aaaw so close in 3rd 2008, such a beautiful dress, add a white headdress with say, red rose details and this would be gorgeous.

Honestly some of these collages just cast the fashion in a grim and fickle light.

Lolita is this like huge monster that grew OTT sweet, but now it casts out and canibalises the OTT sweet wearers.
Like any other fashion, what was cool 4 years ago is replaced. You are soon outdated, outmoded and outcast.

>>8498527
Your vendetta is showing salt-chan.

>>8498527
>XD
>>8498547
>skinny fat
how fat are you that you consider that skinny fat? She's legit on the end side of chubby but with decent enough proportions that she doesn't look like a fatass slob

>>8499502
just do you man. trends come and go, style is eternal.

Sorry it's short, I haven't been in lolita very long, but I'm very pleased with my progression so far
>almost hit my one year mark

>>8498836
>>8499513
>hurr anon she's clearly chub not skinny hurr!!

I'm just copying OP's semantic. I don't really care what you call her tbh.

>>8499601
So YOU'RE that anon that said that was their first lolita purchase. Dots connected, carry on.

>>8499614
Yup, and I'm planning on selling it here soon

Posted this on CoF a while back. I'm still growing in a fashion, but man did it take me years to get it.

>>8499351
an updated version.

>>8499461
that's so sweet. I think it was mostly that I went for a more sweet/classic look while most people back then when for BxW gothic which doesn't age as well.

>>8499376
I dunno, I kinda liked some of her coords.

Here's my timeline. Only been into lolita for a bit over 2 years. Including just a few of the outfits I have done because adding in more is kinda unnecessary. I've really picked up my game this year and tried to take better photos and do more outfits. It was fun to put this together to see how I've grown in the fashion, hopefully many more years to come!

bump

>>8499751
yo, I need to know where you got that short blonde wig which may or may not be a wig with buns

>>8499601
Dang you improved quite a bit over a year, keep it up

>>8501673

Is that in the 2015 chess chocolate outfit? Cause that's just my hair curled really well on the lower half but keeping the top straight.

>>8499751
Aw man, I loved your ringmaster coordinate so much. I still have it saved. I think you started off pretty decently too.

>>8499601
yellow star chan, good to see you actually acted on our advice

>>8499751
oh god i really love your outfits. the ringmaster one is probably my favorite coord ever. keep up the great work anon

>>8499641
>whines about the comm self posting on cgl
>self posts on cgl all the fucking time

>>8501931

>>8499601
Your makeup in last 3 pic looks weird. Your hair & face in second pic is so so so cute I'd waifu you anon-chan.

>>8499601
oh gosh, I remember talking to you and giving coord advice for that oct 2014 photo in one thread.

One bit of advice anon- you have a tendency to ball up your right hand into a fist. Try to mix it up a bit maybe!

There threads are always neat! Everyone's progress looks great, especially Fanny Rosie. Bless that gorgeous woman.

Sorely lacking proper photos, but I think I'm slowly building a well-balanced wardrobe.

>>8501906
>>8501854
Thanks anons I'm glad you liked it! I'm really gonna have to pull out all stops for Halloween this year to top that coord I think haha.

>>8499613
You sound fat

>>8501861
Yup! I decided to take it all to heart, and I feel like I'm actually improving and heading towards the right direction

>>8502023
I can see what you're coming from, it looks a bit, flat?
Oh gosh thanks, I was so worried about not wearing a wig and wearing very minimal make up. It was my first meet that I ever went to.

>>8502060
Oh gosh I can't believe I've been on /cgl/ that long
Thanks! I'll try to switch up my poses every once in a while, I guess it's my default. I'll do some research before my next con and look at a variety of ones. Thanks for pointing that out!

Amazing progression Anon!

>>8499601
You look very nice with blond hair anon. I think dark seems to wash out your glow at least in the pictures. The second pic makes me want to kiss your cute cheeks

>>8499461
Ikr I love her Etsy store she's so talented.

>>8502354
>all these people liking me with blonde hair
>I wish I still had my pixie cut now

Thanks anon! It's probably because of how pale I am

>>8499601
Keep it up Anon! You've made great progress!

>>8502368
Thank you anon! I hope to improve even more and am currently working on my next coord

>>8499751
I really love your style

>>8499642
You make a lot of your dresses right? I'm always impressed by your skills!

Here's my timeline since I began wearing lolita, I'm really happy with my improvement!

>>8502464
>using Drake as censorship
I am endlessly amused.

i always wanna compile one of these but i'm too scared i've not improved enough for my 2.5 years in the fashion.

>>8502464
I want to start using drake as well

>>8502350
i legit thought her name was Le Fashionable Cupcake, boy do i have old egg on my face

Some coords are missing, but here's mine. I took a year off of lolita while I was studying abroad, hence the break in coords between 2013 and 2015.

>>8502642
I love the way you are wearing Marchen Ribbon, I just got it in the mail
>AB's headband
It looks great on you! You've improved so much!

>>8499349
>>8499378
>>8499450
>>8502353
Thanks guys! I really like going back through old photos and seeing how much I've improved. It gives me hope for new itas... If I could do it, they can do it. I'll probably make an updated one soon.

>>8502504
My blog url is lefashionablecupcake, because "the" was taken. I really need to get it fixed with a proper url, but I so rarely use my blog now that I have no motivation. I'm sure that's where the confusion came from.

>>8499601
White floofy dog says hello.

>>8502736

>>8502668
>My blog url is lefashionablecupcake, because "the" was taken.
that makes sense. i think i checked Facebook and saw "The" and doubted my memory.

please do make new collages now and then.

>>8502751
You don't remember the floofiest dog on snapchat?

:(

>>8502751
OMG IT'S YOU!!! HOLY HELL MAN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????????

>>8502990
oh fuck I hope not
my snapchat acts up a lot lately

>>8502998
I keep adding you and the purple tick keeps changing back to a plus after a couple minutes.

>>8503012

>>8503015
Finally got ya.

>>8503023
>still nothing

>>8503029
The snap from my tablet says delivered.

>>8503034
lets move this to the snapchat thread

>>8499338
Seems like 2011 was a turnung point. Late 2012 has some ungroomed hair, but aside from that really nice.

>>8499642
I think your 2006 picture looks really nice as a casual summer outfit.

Well, the past year I haven't improved. But I don't think I de-proved.

>>8503222
Yup, that's about right. I went through a natural hair phase in 2012, but thankfully I figured out pretty quickly that my hair does not hold styling well (i.e. collapses in seconds), and switched back to wigs.

>>8503245
Adore your style, so wearable. Can I request names on the two bottom left jsks?

>>8503245
I don't think you were ever really awful to begin with, but you can still see an improvement in creative coordinating and styling! So great. (Also, didn't realize you were a gull, I'm a big fan of yours.)

This is so embarrassing. Still got a long way to go, but it's so nice to see I've already improved a little! [spoiler]I love these threads![/spo.. oh, wait.

>>8499640
Whatchu want for it?

My timeline is getting monstrous sorry, I need to cut stuff out but... lazy.

any ouji or aristocrat timelines?

>>8503841
it is usually best to pick one or two outfits per year. otherwise it is not a "progression," just a collage of outfits.

>>8503831
$50+shipping, it's like $100 on bl right now

Here's mine. I gained some weight which i'm currently in the process of losing. Also holy shit i realized i haven't worn lolita in about a month. I used to wear it several times a week. I'm more into otome now tbh and i wear lolita for meetups mostly.

>>8503245
seconding the other anon, I was super shocked to see you post here because I've been a fan for years!!

>>8502464
Please stop using Drake it's not funny.

>>8501861
Wait, ugly-first-coord-constant-repost-chan and yellow-star-chan are the same person? Now I get why people were so annoyed with her.

>>8503245
>the flying fuck cutsew
I like you more every time you post.

>>8502976
Didn't they use it on the show, too?

>>8498879
Hello, fellow Belgianlita. I don't even know why they pick on her, she's from the Flemish comm but I haven't seen her at a meet for a good year or more already.

>>8502117
I like the last one, it's so summery ! I especially love the shoes, where did you get them ? They seem easy to use in other styles

>>8503761
Thank you! I unfortunately don't know the name of the velvet one, but it's a JetJ piece. I've only seen one other before, when an anon posted the red colourway on cgl. But I'm attaching an image so you can see the details better, so hopefully that helps! The second one is AP's Lacy Prince JSK.

>>8503964
>>8503772
Thank you so much!

>>8504045
It's pretty crazy, but I'm a magnet for the things. So far I've already found two more of the cutsews and given them both to friends for their birthdays.

>>8503822
You're really cute! I really like the makeup you have in the first 2015 image.

>>8503948
The progess from the first image is amazing. The styling in your June 2015 image is really great!

>>8504024
I don't do it because I think it's funny

>>8504163
Oh JetJ, please go back to this. Thanks a lot anon for the names and picture

>>8503841

I love you, but for the love of mana, please stop posing like that. You look stiff and unnatural.

I really like how you smile in photos though. It's a good change from all the pouty faces I see in lolita.

>>8499751
where do you buy your wigs from?

>>8499642
You're the girl with the gorgeous handmade pieces, right? I love your work!

>>8502464
Oh, it's Voldie. I'm disappointed that you haven't progressed all that much. I used to root for you.

>>8503866
If it could fit my cow tits I'd go for it. So sad.

>>8505163

Nowhere special really, just taobao and ebay, I like to style my wigs alot so I rarely ever wear them fresh from the bag. I feel like by adding extra curls or softening the curls it makes them look alot more natural.

>>8502464
Thanks gurl! I I appreciate it

>>8502117
I like your reserved style! So elegant.

>>8499751
You have such a cute face. Is the short blond bob cut your natural hair? It's so cute, I really like it wavy.

>>8502362
oh thank you! I just love making things. If it wasn't for the store I think I might be drowned in lolita stuff.


>>8502464
>You make a lot of your dresses right? I'm always impressed by your skills!
Yes, all except a few vintage ones. Thanks!

It's nice to see a collage with some of the same dresses repeated, shows a range.

>>8502642
I like the red velvet.

>>8503227
It was a very very hot day. Also it was so much harder to find an off brand lolita blouse.

>>8503245
such an elegant wardrobe.

>>8503822
The first outfit is so cute!

>>8503948
I agree June 2015th is lovely!

>>8505204
One of them haha. Thank you so much!

i think im still experimenting. im also very bad at posing

>>8505499
Oh hey girl you're in my comm! I think you're super cute. Absolutely love your latest coordinate; that Jetj dress is so lovely.

>>8505499
>the melting pot
Are you in Oregon?

>>8505640
>melting pot
>are you in Oregon?

Not op. But... The melting pot is a huge chain restaurant. They're everywhere.

I did a little "series" on my Facebook of first coord with this piece and latest coord with this piece. Mostly for lols because I
A) am a hoarder and never sell anything
B) had an extremely long-term ita phase that I've just gotten out of in the past couple years

Anyone interested? I'm always nervous to self post while not in draw threads

>>8506508
No

>>8502117
Source on the wig from August 2014?

>>8506508
how long have you been in lolita? if there is a significant difference in time or style between "first" and "most recent" i would like to see what has changed.

but only like 1-3 dresses.

2011 looks like this

>>8506940
what the fuck are you even talking about?

>>8506891
Like I said, I had a really long ita phase. So I started dressing in "lolita" in 2010 but I just now got a grasp on what the fashion really is about 3 or 4 years ago and started dresses decently in the past year or two

>>8507209
>hello Doge-chan

I'm really surprised to hear you had such a long ita phase, because the coords I've seen you post here/on CoF have always been really fantastic.

>>8499601
hory shit, I remember when you posted your first coord. You've improved so much! That second picture is adorable.

And now I have to go take a moment to think about how much time I've wasted on this website

>>8507211
Can we please make this a thing? I can't tell you how long I laughed when that pic was posted. I would gladly take the name.

And yes, I did have a really really awful ita phase until I was posted to btb and forced myself to stop being lazy

>pic very related
>yes I know the coord on the right still isn't awsome

>>8507217
it's a decent basic coord, and actually lolita, unlike that first ita pic! what a change!

>>8507217
>just realized the date on right is wrong.
>2014, not 2015
>posting a coord that hasn't happened yet

>>8505499
*my comm! my comm! one of us!*

>>8507209
I did the same thing with a few of my really old pieces! This was my very first brand dress.

>>8504099
I actually got them from a swap meet, so I'm not sure of the exact source. I think they are Liz Lisa replicas bought from Taobao.

>>8506813
The blonde one is the same wig as the others. The curls have just progressively fallen out from combing, washing, and wind. I got it from Lockshop and I think it's the honey coloured mermaid beachy.

>>8502317
>deer horns

My poor blood pressure

>>8499601
Oh my, I remember so many of these posts, how on earth have you gone from that first picture to the last one in only a year!
Also I drew your BL clock photo in a draw thread once!
I love your makeup in the april photo especially

>>8499751
Oh man! I've seen so many of these coords around and never connected most of them are yours! I saw a load of people nit pick your next to last coord, but I adore it the pinks all flatter so nicely, I love seeing mixed shades done well!

>>8507215
Oh my! Thank you so much! The second pic was from my first ever lolita meet up and I was so nervous but everyone was so super kind to me.

Same, I think back and realize that it's been almost a year since I started using this

>>8510420
I started listening and taking advice. That and the whole 'star chan' thing really kicked me in the teeth, so I wanted to improve and show people that I can be a good lolita.
Oh gosh I have a collection of all the art from the draw threads as well
>mfw I can't even remember how I did my make up for that fashion show
I think I just slathered on the blush, which I stopped doing

>>8504034
Yup, it's all me.
I've learned a lot since then, like to not self post so much

>>8498527
>skinny
shes obese, overweight at least

>>8505226
sorry anon

>>8510442
awh I'm sorry people pissed you off so much! at least you really have improved to show it!
I actually really like the blusher, at least the tone of it, your later two are way too orange for your skin tone it makes you look kinda flat? but the pink makes you pop and you look adorable!

>>8510486
yeah, I moved recently, so the last two pictures are from in my new bedroom, I'm still working on finding out the good lighting spots in it
But I've improved a lot, and with that, I'm pleased!

>>8503948

Can someone explain the doge thing?
I'm behind on my cgl dramu

this thread is more interesting than the "spoonfeed me cosplay ideas/praise" that are about to push it into archives. do not die, thread.

>>8511643
It's not dramu, really. Someone just noticed that in a picture she posted here, her face looked like the doge meme, and it kind of stuck. She's a cute girl.

Not mine but I was surprised to see how that oldschool lolita used to dress and how bad her makeup looked in comparison to now.

>>8499677
Me too, some of her AP coords were really cute. At the time of her "peak" she was one of the better dressed sweet lolitas that posted on lj's egl forum imo.
But at some point she went WAY overboard with the OTT trend and that's when people started to hate her, especially as she seemed to let her popularity go to her head as well and got a bit cocky.
She also modelled for RBTU on Ebay, and I think she promoted split color twin tail wigs too if I recall correctly (damn my memory is fuzzy).
She was also very popular on lj and at the same time hated on cgl.

>>8516512
Do you know sause on 2013? Feels BTSSB
