/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

not very far

Is that a FAMAS

>>8513365
at least use a photo with a blouse so the non lolitas on here don't think that this is ok

>>8513521
That's how desperate to get her dream dress she is, she sold her blouse and petti

>not choosing misako with a gun over that ita

OP I have to assume you are an massive ita.

>>8513365
This photo makes me hate fatty-chans even more.

Ok, so I'm considering selling what was my original dream dress because, even thought it's a beautiful, great-quality dress, I guess it doesn't have the same appeal to me as it once did. It was my first brand dress, too, and I'm afraid I'll regret it if I sell it. At the same time, it's very OTT and rarely gets worn.

Has anyone ever had this sort of experience? Did you regret selling your dream dress if you did sell it?

>>8513556
I was in the very same situation last year.

I sold my dream dress, which was very OTT. Sadly I only wore it once to a con, because otherwise I'm wearing lolita really casually. And I knew I wouldn't wear the same dress twice to a con. Seeing it in my closet without wearing it made me like the dress less and less. I ended up selling it when a new print came around that was very appealing to me and I don't regret it.

I sometimes see it on sale and think "wow, what a pretty dress, I should buy it." But then I remember I already tried it on and won't wear it and I don't feel as bad.

I hate this ~kawaii girl with gun so edgyyy uwu~ trend.

>pic unrelated

has anyone's bambis shipped yet?

>>8513556
If you're thinking you'll regret selling it then you're still not over it yet, anon.
I'm in the same boat whereas I don't feel I wear my OTT sweet prints enough anymore, but I fell in love with the prints and their uniqueness, not necessarily my ability to wear them.

Unless I get desperate for money I don't see myself selling them. Even if I don't wear them they're cool collectible pieces. How awesome would it be to be that friend/relative who collected the quirky fashion dresses from Japan that can't be found anywhere else?

>>8513570
Same anon that asked the question - that's totally my situation rn! I wore the dress once to a con and unless another event comes up where I want to try coording it differently then I'm not sure I'll wear it again.

>>8513588
You make some good points! But at the same time I question whether I'd rather let it sit in my closet or buy some more casual pieces I'd actually get more use out of.

Sometimes I wonder what Japanese lolitas would think if they saw our online comms (cgl, btb, getoffegl, etc) and the higher standards we hold ourselves to
Do you think they have as much drama as we do?
Pic not really related, I just like hospitality doll-chan's coords. I think her face would work well in aristo

>>8513639
>Do you think they have as much drama as we do?
>lolita laughing alone with salad.png

Hell yes they do. Japanese girls can be catty as fuck. They just tend to be a bit more subtle about it, and only post on anon places.

>>8513639
>posts a pic of hospi-chan for no reason
>is not hospi-chan
Uh huh...

>>8513644
shit. Sorry gulls, thought that was HD-chan
my bad

>>8513645
What a moron

>>8513641
Someone posted an archived 2ch thread from before and from the comments I feel like they're actually a lot more vicious than we are. If an ugly person with an otherwise decent coord gets posted here, there will almost always be a handful of people willing to defend her, but the Japanese girls just go to town.

>>8513556
I personally hate seeing things in my closet that I don't wear. Both because I like clean minimal spaces and because of some bad experiences I made with someone in the family dying very surprisingly and leaving a lot of stuff we had to throw away because no one had the time to sell it.
Unless you specifically know the dress will gain more value and you try to keep it for that sake I would sell it.

>>8513645
anon's comment was ambiguous. they meant to imply that you were HD selfposting.

>>8513588
>How awesome would it be to be that friend/relative who collected the quirky fashion dresses from Japan that can't be found anywhere else?

If you truly think other people think like that then I feel sorry for you.

>>8513599
>>8513556

The advice I've often heard is to pack it up and put it in a box somewhere out of sight. Then, mark your calendar and have it remind you to re-evaluate the box in a couple of months' time. If you did not miss the dress at all, or you even totally forgot it was in a box and not in your closet, sell it.

If you find yourself missing the dress dearly, keep it, clearly you like it for more than just wearing to a con.

>>8513645
It is, anon

>>8513581
Mine hasn't, but I think I saw some girls wearing these in a group pic where they shopped all the faces and Pixyteri commented on it just to be bitter. Didn't recognize the comm, though.

>>8513639
>>8513641
>>8513705
As far as I can tell, Japanese girls aren't as preoccupied with 100% flawless coordinating as we are but are much more vicious about offbrand and people who are fat/ugly. All these itas crying "pls no bulli my oojia replica bcus brands dont make cloths 4 women w/ curves liek me n lolitas suppose 2 b lovlies" would get torn the fuck apart even harder than they are here. Not to their face, of course.
Chinese lolitas seem to be the worst, though.

>>8513639
Someone a couple generals ago translated some posts from a Japanese lolita forum. They were calling other girls fat, old, gossiping about their lives, etc. They're just as bad as us.

>>8513823
Asian lolitas are the worst. Koreans can also be pretty nasty- members getting kicked out for selling to people who isn't a part of the comm

>>8513841
>>8513823
I want deets

>>8513556
I recently sold my dream skirt because it was super short and unflattering. I angsted over it for over a month, and had a hard time shipping it off. I only sold it because I could use the money back then.

It's been a few months now and I don't miss it at all anymore. Sometimes you need to let things go, it'll feel good.

>>8513823
I miss CG sharing dirt on the Chinese lolitas. But I remember that 2ch thread with the japanese lolitas talking trash about wearing bodyline and making fun of this girl who said she wanted to wear it because of Kamikaze girls. The translation of the thread is still floating around.

>>8513754
Or maybe you're just a jaded bitter bitch who wants people to sell their rare prints :^)

>>8514192
No, please keep your dresses and do your thing. Just don't assume that people will think you are fun and quirky.

You can always count on IW to screw things up

>>8513823
Why are they such salty cunts? Even when I see them in person they look bitchy.


Why does this fashion have the worst people? Everyone is either a salty seagull or is an its with no taste. Nice girls are so few and far in-between. Why is such a beautiful fashion full of ugly people?


Also when did this start? I know gyaru are even worse. What about otome? Other substyles? Actual harajuku people?

>>8514228
Your perspective might be skewed because here you are, on /cgl/. Normal, nice girls usually aren't super vocal online.

I think part of it is being a group of mostly girls in a hobby based around appearance. Of course it attracts crazies.

>>8513841

Excuse me? I heard that she owned several account when the comm forbidden it (because it is also sales comm) and that's the reason she kicked out from comm. but I wasn't around when it happened so...?

>>8514215
if you look at the code though it's correct and says black.

Been trying to figure out the best route for this to go. Should the blouse I get be white or black?

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=520830594638

Or am I better off altering this blouse? https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.20141003.6.TjPmWX&scm=1007.10011.6100.0&id=44450445993&pvid=348e67c0-dcc8-4933-9149-1b25377b2e41

>dat lack of trigger discipline

I'm torn between the pink and turquoise version of Haenuli's jellyfish JSK.

>>8514206
But maybe they will even if you wouldn't. Not really yours to say.

>>8513824
This makes me feel better about ourselves. I was wondering how crazy we are in comparison to Japanese lolitas
>>8513739
Thanks for clearing that up. Anon's comment really confused me because I'm pretty sure that that was HD-chan
>>8513823
>chinese lolitas are the worst
>mfw i'll be studying abroad in hong kong next year and was hoping to continue wearing lolita there

>When your lolita friend wants to connect with you on LinkedIn

I'm taken aback by this. We've talked about business and our professions before in our conversations. Give me a reason why I should connect with you?

LinkedIn is p much the Tinder for jobs.

>>8513639
Do you got any more of dem HD anon pics?
I could use a link to her social media stuff, instagram, tumblr, I'm not picky.

>>8514474
>now this is selfposting.jpg

>>8513556
My biggest problem is that I like owning different colors of the same print.

I'm still trying to decide if I should sell a dress that I own three of the colors :/

>>8514474
>>8513639
HD-chan is still an attention whore, I see.

>>8514369
I wanna go so badly but I don't see anything of interest as of yet.

Has anybody been to this event before in other countries?

>>8514477
>>8514532
Actually, no, I'm just in love with her and I want to be her friend, and I wasn't there when she got rid of her trip, so I didn't get her contact info. Any help is appreciated.

>>8514545
I'm so sorry my posts made people think you were actually a part of this.
You bitches should really learn how to check samefag before you throw that shit around.

>>8514583
It's cool; leave a throwaway email and I'll hit you up.

>>8514545
Do you have any social media? I love your coords

>>8514189
There's an old translation floating around from 2ch from back in the early 2000s where the girls are talking about the lack of wearability in the fashion that was posted a while back, that was actually a really interesting read.

Is CG permabanned? I thought she was coming back around with a different trip

>>8514611
Why did you delete your nudes?

>>8514228
People literally everywhere on the globe can be bitches, anon. Bitchiness doesn't depend on subculture or fashion or what country your from, it's natural, an extension of yourself.

>>8514619
Haha knock it off.

>>8514455
>We've talked about business and our professions before in our conversations.

Do you mean you haven't talked about business before? Because if you guys have talked about professional things, she's probably just adding you to make her network bigger. It's not weird.

It would be weird if you'd only ever talked about macarons and the latest AP print, though.

>>8514595
Thank you

Lol.

>>8514618
Nice, I didn't know there was another one! Do you have the link?

An afaik yes, she posted on the "other" cgl for a while, but disappeared altogether.

>>8514639
nvm, found it in the archives.

How do you gulls feel about getting notes and small gifts in your purchases (from LM, EGL, FB sales etc)? I recently sold a dress, giving the girl a few extra weeks over the agreed payment time as she said she'd been having some issues at work and school. As what I thought was a nice gesture, I included two teabags from by book of tea, a tab of cute page markers, a small packs of sweets and a hand written note saying I hope the dress would be a pick me up and that things improved. Her reply when the dress arrived was 'don't include unsolicited items to drive up my shipping'.

>tfw you feel like an idiot
>tfw she never said thanks for giving her extra payment time instead of just bouncing with her gift payment

>>8514659
I think it's really nice, mainly because it gives a personal touch. I'd only be upset if the weight of the package drastically changed, that girl sounds a little sandy.

>>8514659
Some people don't like people sending them random things along with what they're buying. Personally I don't mind, but I do feel like you included a bit too much.

I'd honestly rather have a nice note then someone sending sweets with my dress.

>>8514636
I'm on cgl all the damn time, don't be so surprised. I came in to see if anyone had posted about the JetJ lucky packs yet, and it was an "oh goddamnit" moment to see everyone barking at a wall over me.

>>8514659
She sounds like a bitch. I would just take it as her being stressed and unable to deal with it like an adult (meaning not lashing out on others). Personally, I appreciate small personalized gifts because it makes the transaction seem less commercial. I usually include a message on cute stationary when I sell things.

>>8514676
>sweets
Wouldn't they melt?

>>8514659
I think her response was pretty rude, but you also went a little overboard.
I like getting handwritten notes, but I usually end up just throwing away sweets or small items because it's either not something I'd eat, or not useful (someone once sent me a hot pink pocket mirror).

Having said that, I once threw in a pair of bodyline socks for a girl, because they were cheap and I didn't want to go through the trouble of selling them, but she never said anything about it.

>>8514659
Wow what a child. I remember when pretty much every purchase I made from a seller would come with something small like a deco cane, some stickers, or something like that. What an ungrateful bitch.

>>8514550
she's not self posting though
you all are so quick to yell "self post!"

>>8514679
Oh my god I had never even heard about you before this thread and I'm already tired of your attention-whoring, self-posting and narcissism, just shut up, nobody cares

>>8514694
God that's a cheap photoshop.

>>8514659
I appreciate you anon, just stick to one or two gifts and a note, that way you aren't put out too much. She was a cunt for real though.

>>8514695
Sand up your vagoo, much. I've never heard of her either, but you ablooblooing about samefagging is more annoying than her posts.

> sage

>>8514687
I'd be worried about that too, it has happened to some girls before.

>>8514695
Oh please, I'm not even HD-anon but you guys are calling samefag and attentionwhore over nothing. I love /cgl/ but everyone who posts about themselves more then once (even when asked) gets called an attentionwhore here.

Go to the drawthread if you want to see some.

>>8514700
You're an idiot

>>8514694
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't agreeing with the self-post accusing but that she is an attentionwhore.
>If I post I will let you know!

>>8514694
>>8514679
Just drop it. Self-post or white-knight, both annoying as shit.

Hospital Doll anon, I think your best bet is just to not bother revealing it's you or even trying to prove you're not selfposting. I don't understand why anons get so fucking salty over something so small when they're the ones who made a deal out of it in the first place.

>>8514700
Haha, ok. Keep the salt coming anon, my blood pressure is a little low over here.

>>8514707
but i like her coords, would like to be notified when she posts
HD-chan if you're still there, i wanted to know if you were going for an ero vibe with this

>>8514709
Your vendetta is showing anon

>>8514714
Oh no anon, stop. I love her too, but now is a terrible time to ask for this.

>>8514449
>hong kong
People from Hong Kong are totally different to Mainlanders, you can hardly compare the two. You shouldn't have to worry as much about girls being awful there.

>>8514714
She should have worn a surgical mask so we wouldn't have to look at her face

>>8514659
That sounds really bitchy.
Unless shipping was calculated by the exact weight or the weight was just over a threshold that would make it more expensive.
But on the other hand your gift sounds a bit excessive.
I'm usually a little turned off when people get overly personal about buying or selling used clothing. Lolita is not a hug circle, I just want stuff for cheap.
Kind of the same thing that I dislike about being all "my dreamdress" about some piece of cloth that was presented nicely on the internet. It's just a basic shopping urges, it's not gonna be fulfilling unless there's some other emotional connection to it and it's gonna be one out of many so called dreams.

>>8514730
Sszzzzik burn brah

>>8514449
Lolita in HK here, if you aren't used to the heat/humidity don't expect to wear lolita that often anyway. I can only wear it from November to around March.
>yes it's 6am here

>>8514727
^HK anon from above
A lot of the girls in HK who wear lolita are actually mainlanders so kek

Do japanese lolitas have their own comms and stuff? I wonder how their dynamics work.

>>8514727
It's the same happy on the surface and bitching behind backs as pretty much anywhere in the world. They especially look down on mainlanders and look up to pretty much anyone non Asian (apart from JApnese and sometimes Korean). Not just limited to lolita, they have said lots of awful things.

Just saying what I know. Of course there will be people who think this is ok because the Chinese snatched up all the brand and made everything expensive so they toally deserve this!!1! Then fine, can't really convince you otherwise i guess.

>>8514659
What a cunt. Don't feel bad anon, you were very thoughtful.
I tend to include a little note and usually a small packet of japanese candy (a friend got me a 'candy subscription' so I have way more than I need and I don't like a lot of it, so it's pretty much the best way to get rid of it)
I really like getting notes and stickers. One girl I bought from sent a whole sheet of sailor moon stickers, shit was cash.

FB friend liked this:

Thanks for your input anons, I was quite mindful of weight and the items I included didn't drive up the package over that weight bracket for shipping, I packed her item in one separate bag, should the sweets melt in transit (those packs that have 4 small sweets in them) as a precaution. I'll make sure not to go over board in the future, I just felt bad since she was having a bad time and thought it'd cheer her up but I appreciate it may have been overkill.

However on a salty note, not acknowledging you went over your agreed payment plan makes me think she's a dick. Shun my shit but pay me on time please.

>>8514776
Do you girls talk in canto or a mixture of canto/english? I'm hoping to move to HK to study and join the lolita comm there but my canto is horrendous and I can't speak a lick of mando

Where would you guys recommend for solid colour socks? I am trying to find some solid lavender socks in particular but it is proving to be much more difficult than originally anticipated.

>>8514727

Lol what. Hong kong people are the worst.

I'm 4 generations out and I still can't stand them. They're 10x more materialistic than mainlanders, are basically britaboos, and are passive aggressive and gossipy and tacky as fuck.

Source: I live in Toronto. I still have HK friends, but they pretty much agree with me.

>>8514796
I liked her, but that interview she did with Vice just left a really weird taste in my mouth. I feel like she's fame-grabbing big time lately, which is a shame because she's the only good hijabi lolita I can think of off the top of my head.

>>8513365
>no trigger discipline

0/10, would not invite to meetup

Coming soon: Angelic Pretty tartan print with teddy bears holding union jack flags. Saw it on Instagram.

>>8514877
pics bruh

I'm sorta happy that I don't love Meta's newest print this time. After Dark Night Guardian and Voyage in Memory, I was scared I'd be missing out on yet another release I'd regret. I do like it a lot though, would definitely wear the OP casually.

> Needs more cute dog prints

>>8514659
Unless you actually charged her extra shipping because of the weight that's a really bitchy reaction. I received a nice note and candy with a dress once and it really made my day, it was such a nice touch. Don't worry anon, you did a nice thing and received a really unusual negative reaction.

>>8514889
I really like the new direction they're taking, but nothing yet has come out that I've really felt the need to get. If they keep it up with this darker shit, though, they'll hit with me sooner or later.

>>8514864
AP had some for a while, they may still have them. I think they had a logo on the heel but that was it.

>>8514943
I actually bought those and there were a completely different shade of lavender then what I need unfortunately.

>>8514956
Could you just do tights and try WeLoveColours? Bodyline also had a pair of plain plain socks that came in several colours, and I think lavender was one.

>>8514714
This looks like a cheap fetish costume

>>8515241
It does. But people will still defend it to hell and back because "roots of lolita~" and "HD-chan brought the board together!11"

>>8515251

I was so annoyed by her taking over the dream dress thread when there are countless other anons looking for old and rare dresses. Apparently I wasn't the only one who was annoyed. I feel somewhat vindicated by this.

>>8514845
>thinking that hijab oppress women
Laws surrounding hijab oppress women by saying you HAVE to wear one. But the physical idea behind them is that a woman is worth more than her appearance and that beauty should be kept for friends you already know so people will not prejudge you.
Far better than the branch of feminism that wants to allow women to walk around shirtless IMHO.

>>8515259
I'm glad other people didn't manage to make the threads all about themselves afterwards(I'm looking at you stained glass-anon). We don't need a main bitch, let us all just help each other. And don't make people feel bad for buying a dress someone else had dibs on just because they talked about it the most.

>>8514659
Uh no. Your buyer is a cunt. Like all those stuff would actually drive up shipping costs.

I personally love getting candy and extra surprises but I don't send them though :/

>>8514189
>>8514618
Yup, permagone. The half chan isn't nearly as populated and it's not as fun to post there. Because you can talk about killing teh geys and brewing poo drugs on other boards, but calling a girl fat or ugly is "omg bullying11!!1one!"

>>8514449
If you're white/British/not morbidly obese they will fall over themselves for you. If you're not then idk. The HK comm is on facebook.

>>8514627
>>8514455
Are you remotely connected or in the same field? Or are you relatively successful and well known in your field? If you're uncomfortable with connecting your lolita and professional like just tell her. I know I would be.

>>8514659
Lolwtf name and shame. 2 teabags, some sweets, and some paper isn't adding 1kg to her shipping. What an ungrateful cunt. Always send gifts with packages 4lyf

My wardrobe is getting too full.
My sock drawer is overflowing
I have too many hair accessories
I have run out of hangers
My shoe rack is full and I have to store shoes on the floor.
But I want to keep all of my shit. The stuff I want to get rid of is random crap my family members gave me that is butt ugly, and I can't because it would offend them.
Do any of you have recommendations on how to neaten up my wardrobe? Could I make a hanger to store my socks and tights on like Misako does?

>>8514877
Tartan and its not even winter?

>>8515266
It can also be viewed as "women need to cover their physical appearance because men are useless animals with no self control, and just a woman's physical appearance is detrimental to society and shameful". Either way as long as someone is informed and free to make their own choice, it's feminist whether you like it or not.

>>8515310
I'm neither remotely connected nor in the same field. She just got a master's from a great school in June. However, she ended up getting blacklisted in her profession in our state because she outwitted a higher up during her internship. I've known her for a few years. Our professional business does come up a few times in our conversations. She does seem interested in what I do.

I want our etiquette to remain in a social setting, not professional. I enjoy my job on the weekdays and I enjoy lolita on the weekends.

>>8515328
Read the KonMari book of tidying up. Seriously. Get rid of that shit you don't want. Chances are your family won't notice anyway. If you're afraid keep it out of sight for a few months and if they don't say anything, then donate it or whatever. The value of those items was the thought and sentimental value of when they were gifted.

>>8515344
>blacklisted
yeaaaa, just tell her you don't want to mix professional with personal.

>>8515348
Thanks. I feel awful for her, but she needs to comprehend professional conduct. She had done great work and the internship was supposed to last till December, but they terminated her the Friday before graduation for insubordination. While she got praise during her internship, it was humiliating for her boss.

Which board do the 2chan lolitas use?
I'm checking out the site using google translate but I can't seem to figure it out.
So far all I have found is a bunch of pictures of porn.

>>8515328
You def need to get rid of the shit you don't want, even if your family gave it to you. If you have a basement or some other storage, keep it there in a drawer, bin or whatever and just tell the exactly what you said to us - your wardrobe is overflowing and you needed to move some stuff around.

>>8513841
Lmao if you're talking about haenuli, she was under fire for being a scalper who haggled and bought rare dresses from girls, saying that they were her dream dresses, only to resell them on egl-comm-sales.
Korea has very few active lolitas, so everyone pretty much knows each other. This was a few years ago though so their views on her might have changed, though.

>>8514659
Holy shit that's so rude, I'm sorry anon. Don't feel like an idiot, it was a really nice and thoughtful thing to do. Maybe she was stressed about these 'issues' and lashed out or something but that's no excuse.

One time I bought a secondhand dress I love from a girl in my country, she sent me a really sweet note and a green tea kitkat and I think about it every time I wear it.

Gulls, I need some advice
Im thinking about selling my milky cross OP because this past weekend I was wearing it when i confessed to the person i love and ended up getting rejected.
I can't look at the dress anymore without thinking about them.
But I'll also regret selling it since it was a dress I really wanted.

>>8514659
Sounds like that girl was a real ungrateful cunt. I'm sorry your nice gesture was taken that way.

>>8515463
Sorry to hear that anon, I reckon just put it away and look after yourself. If you still feel that way after a couple of months, consider selling it or something.

I don't think you should sell it though, right now you're still emotionally sensitive so it's understandable that the dress is giving you bad feelings, but I agree with >>8515478 and I think that you should just put it away for a while until you feel ready to pull it out again. If you don't like it 3 months, 6 months, 9, 12 months later, you can always still sell it then. The biggest thing is you don't want to sell it if you're not sure you're going to feel remorseful later because dresses become hard to find or hard to get, you don't want to part with it until you're sure you're ready, especially if it's a dress you love. This sounds weird cause it's just a dress but I hope later you are able to wash those negative connotations away from the dress, it sucks for something you love to be ruined like that.

>>8515463
Wear the dress again to a fun event or meet, take lots of photos at said event, that'll give you a new feel/new memories for the dress. I've dealt with similar situations.

>>8514659
>tfw received a skin whitening face mask with a dress once
>tfw not white
i thought it was funny, it's the thought that counts, right...?

her boss sounds bitchmade

it sucks that she got blacklisted because her boss felt embarrassed wtf so much for professionalism. If she is interning under them , shouldn't they be proud that she excelled?

>>8514364

where did you find this anon?

>>8514877
What instgram did you see it on?

Bunny and Black's nurse dress is back! Does this mean they're selling it just at Rufflecon or are they releasing it in time for Rufflecon?

>>8515614
I'd go with the first in white, the neckline just wouldn't work well with the second.

>>8515623
this looks like IW. WTF AP why are you acting like other brands?

>>8515644
This is a great year for the guro lolita!

>>8515652
Alright then. Thank you!

>>8515586
But anon, those products can often even skin tone for you even if you aren't white, just so you know, still might be useful for you.

>>8515623
I don't fucking care what brand it looks like, GIVE IT TO ME

>>8515623
I don't know if I want this or not. I feel like these are the sort of prints that either do really well or completely tank.

>>8515586
>not white
Sounds like they were implying something.

>>8515654
They should start laking imagination..

>>8514796
I still find it strange how Raven from RuPaul's shared the article. I'm not used to my interests mixing like that.

>>8515355
Wait what exactly did she do to warrant having herself blacklisted? Insubordination in what sense?

>>8515553
This. Putting it away is stupid because the feelings will hit her like a train when she takes it back out.

>>8514889
I swear I really would like Meta to release a skirt again. The last three releases have been skirt free! I know I can't fit one of their ops and I am pretty sure I can't quite get into one of their JSKs yet but a skirt I know I could do. Plus it's puppies I swear we need more puppies in Lolita!

>>8515803
My friends who isn't even into lolita is loving it

>>8515463
sell it and buy in a new colour.
you get to keep the print but change the memories

is it even worth ordering from the iw sale or is everything gone?
I hate that the in stock/few left is not accurate.

>>8516007
Oh god you've awakened something in me. I all but gave up on it because of all the stories I'd been hearing about things being out of stock but.... hnnghhh...

>>8515623
Fuck. This is really cute.

>>8515623
I hate the random placements of the coins and stamps

>>8516015
do it.
i ordered at the begining of the sale and heard back nothing until i got invoiced today. the items i ordered were all few left on the site.
i think they put stock aside for people but then they dont pay the invoice and it goes back into stock after a week.
worth a go

>>8515374
None. There are lolita threads in the fashion section, but they are few and far in between.

I really want a bag like this but the original is around £40+ shipping and shopping service fees and I really can't afford it. Would it be considered a replica if I bought a customised tote bag with a similar print and replaced the straps with ribbons?

>>8515328
You can't tidy up a space that's full of unnecessary shit, it will look nice for like three days and then go back to how it was. Talking from experience here. I recommend KonMari like >>8515348 said, I've started doing it and already gotten rid of so much stuff, I was gobsmacked.

Also, call me unsentimental, but if you don't like a gift, throw that shit out. It's your stuff.

>>8515623
Looking very IW there, AP. I like it.

>>8514796
Question, can they not just wear wigs with their coords as it doesnt show their real hair, or is that also banned or whatever in their culture?

>>8516060
The fact that there aren't four ribbons on this is really bugging me.

>>8516120
Look again

I've noticed that out of all loli related items on the second hand market, blouses always take the biggest hit in terms of resale value. Is there any reason for this? It's making me hesitant to drop over 19k retail on my dream blouse.

>>8516147
I think anon meant four ribbons per side. The two inner ribbons on the shoes don't extend beyond the canvas bag.

>>8516147
I think anon means four ribbons on each side.

>>8516155
They come in direct contact with skin more than almost any other kind of lolita clothing, and they're not incredibly sought-after to start with since they're not as recognizable as dresses/skirts and so many offbrand places make nice blouses, too.

>>8516155
If it's a dream item, why do you already think about for how much you'll be able to sell it? Aren't you supposed to wear the shit out of it because you like it?

I don't get this mentality of "i only buy x if the resale value will be alright"

>>8516170
I'm just the type of person who'll consider every aspect of a possible purchase. I may not like how it looks on me irl, it may not fit, etc.

>>8515329
why union jacks though
I can't stand the british flag being everywhere, it looks so tacky and gaudy (here's looking at you IW)
I swear I only see non-brits wearing it. I'm English and it's just weird to see it worn

>>8515463
make new memories in it
After being dumped my friend and I took a tour of my city and went to every place I had been to with my ex so I wouldn't avoid those places because of memories
Works wonders

>>8515623
do not want

>>8514796
I'm so sick of seeing this already and that stupid title makes it sound like a new substyle or something. Give me a break.

>>8516155
If you think about selling it before you even buy it, it can't be that much of a dream blouse.

>>8510617
Hi, I'm sorry I didn't notice your reply in the last thread!

First of all, you should really download Mercari! I don't live in Japan either, but I still managed to get the app. All you have to do is make a Japanese iTunes account. Here's a guide to doing it: http://www.reddit.com/r/bravefrontier/comments/24ssc6/how_to_create_japanese_itunes_account_no_credit/ (no, you don't need to download that exact app. any would do as long as it's free). Now once that's done, you're all set to download Mercari.

My shopping service is Kairai (http://kairai1414.livejournal.com/)) He's not a lolita-specific ss but his rates are fair enough. I think no country for tall men and chibitenshi also use mercari so you can check them out too.

I hope this helps you, good luck!

>>8514443

thanks, anon.

I've met several Hijabi girls and I never got it.
I tried to force myself to accept it while thinking they wanted it. Then I thought it was something like wearing a bra for me. I would not be comfortable without it in front of everyone, so I thought it was something like that for the girls, regardless of men.
I like this interpretation, however not even Hijabi girls have been able to describe it that way. Maybe it is a overly positive way of looking at it from the outside?
not trying to prove you wrong, no, just wondering...

>>8516493
Well, it's like the smattering of western women that want a resurgence of modesty in clothing.
I read a thing floating around facebook the other day that that essentially said, the less clothes you wear, the more you're just a body, just meat to look at, and the less other people have to wonder about your personality/personhood.
It's an oversimplification, and might not apply, but I see how she could see that (as an outsider)

As an outsider, I know a couple things, one, that Sharia law basically says a women must cover herself for protection against the lesser natures of men, that men can't help their baser urges. People see this in any number of ways, that men have an easy 'out', that women are oppressed, that and that women do have personal responsibility to protect themselves however they have to.
Western culture has gotten past a few things. Showing hair is no longer sexual, we don't beat it to pictures of ankles and knees anymore. Just because we're that far down the line doesn't mean every culture is. Hair might not be sexy to YOU, but it might be to that middle eastern guy that's staring at you on the subway.

Soooo Kate is apparently starring in a documentary about Lolita (she keeps going on about how it's centreed on her blah blahblah etc) and that she's trying to get it on 'the canadian version of the BBC'
As a Britfag I wonder how she'll manage that, if she's telling the truth? Getting something onto the BBC is big shit, and she's, well, she's Kate tbh
I'll let you form your own opinions, I wonder if she'll go full lolcow, if she hasn't reached that status already.
It's called Sweet Rebel apparently. Does this confirm everything she does as a bid for fame/efame?

>>8516567
I think people should chill with the whole 'bringing lolita to the public' thing. It's a niche fashion, why do we need so many documentaries etc? It's not like any of this is ever going to change the public's minds about us being a bunch of freaks

>>8516567
Oh, so that's what that was.
I have no idea what the point of that is. It's just cute clothes, there is no strange subculture or lifestyle that goes with it, plus it's way too niche. Just trying to spread the word about herself, I guess.

>>8516400
Does anyone know how to do this on android?

>>8516567
Isn't Kate going to Japan for "an extended trip" soon?
>tfw i live in tokyo and will probably have to deal with her at meet ups

>>8515623
>another brand slobbering on the UK's dick
no thank u

>>8516628
I wonder if Misako and Midori will start making heart poses and tagging it #iLoveLace

On that note, is LACE dead yet? Has it actually /done/ anything

>>8516636
Welcome to lolita, I hope you enjoy your stay.

>>8516628
What's the comm like over there? Is it bitchier or nicer than the western side of stuff?
Forgive me for asking stuff that was asked in a previous thread but idk if you saw it or not

>>8515623
>coins
>crowns
>military medals
>stamps
Oh fuck there's most of my favourite themes but still it looks tacky as fuck. IW do that better.

>>8516569
I don't like it either. There was a woman in my comm who was constantly trying to get media attention and inviting media to the meetups she organized and it honestly just made me want to hide and stop attending meetups out of fear that I'd get a camera shoved in my face, too.
Sometimes I wish I could shut down all lolita-related (social) media for a few months and then see who's left at the end of it. So many girls seem to be into alt fashion purely for the attention it gets them.

>>8516607
I keep seeing posts from her fb because I'm friends with girls in my comm who are as e-fame hungry as she is, thus worship her and lick her ass at every turn.
I'm already sick of seeing "documentary this" and "documentary that" and the damn thing hasn't even come out yet.

>>8516659
Yes! I don't know why lolitas always want to prove something to the public, as if they're constantly trying to say 'SEE, WE'RE NOT FREAKS, WE JUST DRESS DIFFERENT. COME TAKE A LOOK IN OUR WORLD. SEE HOW RELATABLE WE ARE."

No. Stop. We're dressing in a way that people are going to see as, at best, cute but weird. At worst, like fetishists. If you can't take that then you need to reevaluate why you're wearing lolita, as you can't expect to blend in to everyday life without anyone forming an adverse opinion of you if you're dressed strangely.

>>8516569
Lolitas are categorized as "henjin" (weirdo) in Japan. I study in there so I'm rather cautious of my professors seeing me in lolita due to that. I wish the general public in Japan doesn't know about lolita so they'd just think I'm on my way to a fancy dress party or something instead of immediately thinking I'm weird.

Nothing good is going to come out of trying to make it so that the general public knows about lolita imo.

Have any of you been wearing Lolita almost exclusively for so long that it's, idk, part of your identity in a bad way? Like everyone knows me as "the girl who wears Lolita", but it made me realise that if I stopped wearing it, there'd be nothing else notable about me.
It's a bit scary. I want to branch out into other fashions like Larme-kei and gothy stuff, but I just feel like my relationship with clothes is a bit over the top. My life literally revolves around dresses. If I was a great blogger or something then at least I'd have something, but I'm so-so.
I guess I'm just a little scared, I don't know what I'm like when I don't have Lolita to obsess over.

>>8516706
>Lolitas are categorized as "henjin" (weirdo) in Japan.
That's actually fascinating to hear. What do people there think of other out-of-the-norm street fashions, like gyaru, fairy-kei, and stuff like that?

>>8516711
I have the same feeling sometimes

>>8516716
I'm going to try to take up some hobbies that overlap with Lolita, like sewing and stuff like that. If I get decently good then at least I have another hobby to deal with, I guess? I think I'd really enjoy having some selfmade stuff instead of crying over brand all the time. I feel like a lot of Lolita has become a rich kids club
>inb4 poorfag
I guess I mean that popularity pertains to whether or not you have the print of the moment. I miss seeing lots of (good) handmade.

>>8516706
>*I study there
fuck me it's 4 in the morning

Ought to add that being thought of as "weird" in Japan is pretty bad, it's nothing like "omg i'm sooo WEIRD XDDD" or quirky.

>>8516714
Not really sure, but people tend to leave you alone if you're dressed outrageously. I get people attempting to pick me up (nanpa) and people handing me flyers for recruiting for dodgy "girls bars" when I'm in normalfag but almost never in lolita.

>>8516706
Same here. I'd much prefer people thinking I'm some kind of lone weirdo who got lost on her way to Disneyland than have the general public know what lolita is. Especially when that view is tainted by the idea that we're all sad little infantile histrionic weeaboos with a peter pan complex because let's face it, media exposure is practically never flattering. I'd like to keep my infantile weeabooism private thank you very much.

>>8516711
I get you. Besides lolita I also wear otome and mori-ish clothes but I practically never dress plainly. The last time I went out wearing jeans and a hoodie people didn't even recognise me, and the few that did immediately jumped to the conclusion that there must be something wrong when honestly I was just being lazy.
Lolita is pretty much my main hobby right now. I have a few other interests but lolita takes up like 75% of my daily thoughts. I sew, but all I sew is lolita. I got into knitting because I want to knit myself cute lolita boleros. My main non-frilly interest is biotech which is kind of required for my studies, but if I have to chat with someone who isn't into lolita/sewing/knitting/science I have absolutely no idea what to say. Nice weather we're having?

>>8516113
Hair is seen as being sexual and that if one wears a wig then men would not be able to control themselves. The thing with that though is that Muslim women only have to cover up when at the masque and at the mosque women as supposed to pray in the back or a separate room so that they don't distract the men. There are Christian groups that do something similar with women having to sit in the back and wear head coverings when they are at Church.

I know that with Jews there is such a thing as a Jewish wig which is ON for Jewish women who belong to the sects that state that women are supposed to cover their hair.

My issues with Lolita that wear hijab is that the point of choosing to wear a hijab is a choice to be modest. And when you wear something as ostentatious as lolita you aren't really being that modest are you? I also have issues with reverts because I can not comprehend why any female would do that to the selves opting for a religion that literally has so many rules to make you less then a man.

>>8516113
I have never seen it. In some more conservative Jewish sects I know there are a lot of women who get around the head-covering thing with a wig, but I've never seen a Muslim woman do that.

>>8516763
>the point of choosing to wear a hijab is a choice to be modest. And when you wear something as ostentatious as lolita you aren't really being that modest are you?
This so much.
And this doesn't mean that Lolitas are dressed like whores, au contraire we are all covered up perfectly well, but lets be honest here: Imagine you're a guy and you're walking in the street and at your right you see a girl with a short red cocktail dress, high heels, long hair, and at your left a girl wearing Cristal Dream Carnival with matching bonnet and tights, tea parties and a hijab, who do you think is attracting more attention?

Juust saw this on tumblr and found it kinda useful (shitty drawings tho) but do you guys agree with this time line? I feel like its iffy around the current and OTT sweet time line part since sweet isn't even dead yet but classic is on the rise but not completely taken over to say that's its the main current style. I feel like sweet and classic are on par instead.

>>8516819
The drawing is shitty like you said, but if it's trying to point out the most popular styles of the time, they're probably close enough.

>>8516670
>>8516706
Honestly, making a bunch of documentaries just makes us seem like more of a freakshow. People will watch it and talk about all the weirdos in their Japanese dresses who want to look like dolls, no matter what the people in that doc say.

>>8516763
Grew up strict Catholic. I went to one of the churches that required loose below-knee skirts or dresses, covered shoulders, and a veil or hat (usually a veil). The goal as I was taught it was not that it was any sort of sexist thing, but that it was because if you spent time worrying about your appearance for church you were neglecting the real purpose of church, which was worship. Worry about appearance is vanity, vanity is a sin, sin distracts you from God. "Modesty" is maybe not the best term, "humility" is a better word to describe what I was taught.

From what I understand, Islam focuses on the detachment of oneself from the physical world, and that's part of why some practice hijab, similar to what I was taught (why some women choose the all black head-to-toe covering). Either way, Lolita doesn't fit that model of thought. It's neither modest nor humble, and its focus is very vain and materialistic.

>>8516763
There are plenty of non lolita muslim women who dress very ornately, which also doesn't fit into humility/being modest. Its just one of those religious rules that get followed, but not to its literal extent.

>>8516711
I feel pretty similarly. My only other hobby besides lolita is video games, and honestly I only play a few games really casually anymore because between work, my studies, and lolita I don't have the time. Like the other anon said, I picked up sewing specifically to sew lolita, I spend a lot of time searching out new dresses and planning meetups, and I don't know what I'd have left, personality-wise, if I suddenly left. I've tried dabbling in otome but found it much more difficult to get right without looking frumpy and/or like a half-assed hipster. I get pretty positive reactions to my lolita coords now and I feel comfortable in it.

I don't really think of this as a scary or bad thing though, I mean unless it's a bad habit (like you're wracking up credit card debt to fund your shopping) there's nothing wrong with having a solid hobby to devote your free time to. Just because it's a little more eccentric than like, stamp collecting or gardening doesn't mean it's wrong. Plus, having more than one really dedicated hobby is super expensive usually. But I would say if you feel uncomfortable with the idea, then branch out to try new things and see if you can strike up the same obsession in something else?

>>8513556
Update! I sold the dress. I'm kind of feeling sentimental but at the same time I keep reminding myself that it was just sitting in my closet, would probably keep sitting there, and wasn't even the colorway I originally wanted.

The buyer sounds really excited, so I'm glad it's going to someone who's happy about it.

>>8516763
Wearing a hijab is a choice, it's not forced except in a few countries where it's illegal not to wear it. You can't say that every woman who makes the choice to wear hijab does it to be modest. Do you wear clothes instead of going out naked because you want to be modest? No it's cultural and some women may feel "naked" if they don't wear hijab, or they may wear it for traditional reasons, respecting ones culture, etc. I don't see the "issue" of wearing hijab with lolita or any other fashion, if they feel happy with it then it's no concern of yours is it?

>>8514796
The thread about her got deleted..... hmmmm

>>8514796
efame hungry

>>8517047
Do you ever feel like it's hard to have conversations with normies? I can never explain to people what my hobbies are.. so I feel like I sound sooo boring.

And a bit morbid, but I can't see myself living until an old age because of lolita. I just.. can't see myself enjoying living at like 60 or something when all I enjoy is lolita right now.

>>8516060
source, anon?

>>8516226
lets all go get hijabs! so rori! so famous!!!

>>8516985
That's gorgeous. I wish muslim lolitas would style their headscarves more, it's always so plain in comparison to the clothes.

>>8517066
>>8516711
>>8517047
You guys need to find a hobby of some sort. I'm not one to talk because I'm absolutely obsessed with lolita and invest so much time into it, but I also have other hobbies, I think it's healthy not to get hung up on one thing. You can always find a hobby that you can mix with the fashion, like drawing or photography.

>>8516819
I don't think the current one is quite accurate. That style is very popular but it's not the main one I see.

It should look more like a sweet/classic crossover and more OTT.

>>8516060
No. Considering you're making just one for your own personal use, with no intention of selling them for profit, you're fine. It's just going to be inspired-by. Maybe you could even use four ribbons like>>8516120 said.

>>8516985
I feel the same way about those kinds of head coverings too though. And she's wearing makeup as well, which is also not modest. To me if you're going to choose to cover your hair then you should also choose to not wear makeup or what's the point?

>>8517054
I just see it as being hypocritical. Honestly if someone wants to wear a hijab with any fashion it's the choice and they can go right on ahead with it. It doesn't change the fact that it's hypocritical to do so.

>>8517333
It's not hypocritical at all as I explained not all women wear it because of modesty. You can have for example a woman who wears hijab out of tradition or just because she likes it. She's not a hypocrite because she wants to wear both lolita and her hijab.

>>8515904
We do!! While I like some cat prints, I much prefer dogs. I'm beginning to hoard poodle prints. I'm surprised there haven't been any yorkie/scotties/westies prints though.

> Beagles in my burando when?

Don't worry all the thirsty bitches will flock to her but everyone else will ignore.

The tumblr in you is strong. Why bother doing Christmas if you aren't a christian celebrating christ's rebirth? Tradition, just because you see a reason for something, doesn't mean she may not have a different reason for it. I agree with >>8517393

>>8514796
>>8514867
>>8517057
I don't understand why you people keep crying out "e-fame hungry!". Now kate is e-fame hungry. This girl just runs a blog, where she posts outfits. Something most of you guys and most lolitas already do. She's not making videos or really making a big deal about anything.
Vice probably contacted her. since they're into getting the 'scoop' on the weirdest of the weird. Let me tell you a hijab and lolita is a pretty fucking weird combo.
Now if you were contacted by a huge news organization, most of you would probably have agreed to the interview, because why the fuck not.

So much salt.

>>8516060
If you use a different picture of ballet shoes, then it's just a knockoff and that's alright

>>8517633
I think people are annoyed at all the asspats she gets just because of the hijab.

>>8515310
I love you cg-sama

>>8517633
Well this chick is a bit efame hungry but does it very quietly. She is also very arrogant and doesn't take to anyone unless you have something to offer her (like Kate and Lor). Plus she coords okay. Nothing too amazing or different. She is like a Kate, coords okay or sometimes well but usually not really and the reason she is so popular is because she wears a hijab, nothing else.

>>8518057

>>8518057

You're going to have to be specific about the 'arrogant and doesn't take to anyone unless you have something to offer her.'

Make something up. Idc, I just want the inevitable stupid drama that surrounds it.

Yes, and they send the wrong items toi

>>8518217
okay, fuck lockshop

>>8518211
I ordered over a week ago and still nothing. They did the same shit with my last order and sent me a wrong wig. After this I'm done.

I'm thinking of starting a shop for handmade lolita accessories. Honestly, is it a good idea to offer seagull discounts or would it be better to distance myself from cgl as it's still taboo in a lot of comms?

>>8518367
Why the fuck would you give people from /cgl/ a discount?

>>8518369
Good point, thanks anon.

>>8518367
Like >>8518369 said, why? If you want to give people discounts run some promotional give-aways or something.

That girl in particular though is a revert. So I suppose you can call it a tradition of her new religion but it wouldn't really be a family tradition then. Like there are all kind of rules when wearing a hijab that are supposed to be followed and my point is that those rules aren't being followed when wearing Lolita. for example my step grandmother is Muslim and if she has her head covered then she is also not wearing any makeup and is in loose fitting long clothing. But she only does this during Ramadan, while praying, or at the mosque. Other then that she's normally in some fancy designer garb.

>>8517633
naw if the tumblr was strong in me then I wouldn't be saying any of this at all. And since you brought up Christmas a lot of people who celebrate it really shouldn't (personally I don't and never have). But to me you also can't really compare the two since at this point traditional Christmas is pretty much extinct in the U.S.

>>8517503
Oh man that sounds fantastic though. I think cats are ok but I'm way more a dog person by far and I just really want all kinds of dog prints. Now I really want a Cavalier King Charles or a Papillon print.

>>8518388
>But she only does this during Ramadan, while praying, or at the mosque. Other then that she's normally in some fancy designer garb.

That seems much more hypocritical and unnecessary to me..

>>8518393
Wearing appropriate clothing in a time and place dedicated to religion seems alright to me.

Can anyone here give me the lowdown on Haenuli's quality standards? I've read multiple reviews but they're all mixed and from a couple years back. Anyone here have any 2015 experiences?

>>8518369
>>8518372
Not that anon, and I'm just assuming at their original post, so this may or may not be relevant.

Any ideas for appropriate places and ways to advertise a new indie brand/store?
I've been posting in WIP/sewing threads for ages and will continue to do so, but I don't want to outright say "Ey yo /ceeg/ check out my store guys." like a dirty shill.
Would it be alright to make a small announcement in B/S/T threads, or sales groups on Facebook?

what is adblock

>>8518416
I don't own any but a couple of my local friends own a lot and the quality is decent. Not brand standard though, and the fit of their garments is still lacking. The material looks and feels both rough but thin at the same time. I would recommend them if they were cheaper but if depends on how much you like their prints/releases (which I personally don't as they're usually tacky looking).

>>8518446
This is making it harder for me to commit to pre-ordering their new jellyfish print, which I do love, but at the same time I wish they'd done different colorways with like white and green. Considering it isn't brand quality and their prices are on par, or in this case even more expensive than most brand (32k for the jsk, 34 for OP) I'm just going to sit this one out and stalk the second hand market.

>>8516407
Nice! Be sure to post here when it arrives.

>>8518465
I'm torn over ordering that dress too. I'm really new to lolita and I've only go starter pieces from Bodyline and ONE Haenuli dress so far; I bought the Royal Crown JSK in Blue when it released. I don't have any brand to compare it to, but I do love the details on the dress. I had really wanted Planetary Dreamer but ended up deciding I would wait and see if I could get it second hand. But I never see it for sale in the size and color I want, so I guess that was the lesson I learned from it.
I will never order tights from them again, though, that's for sure. I know I'm not a slim dainty thing, but my legs aren't that bad, and after one try on, they stretched and looked hideous.

>>8518479
Oh my god anon, are you me? I've wanted to own a jellyfish inspired piece since I watched kuragehime, and seeing as Baby's collaboration pieces are as elusive as the holy grail (in a dream world I'd own this: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/jellyfish-princess-op))
I feel I have to settle for this print. Sorry to hear about the tights - I'm constantly told my legs look like twigs that could snap at any moment so I should be safe with their tights.

New stuff in the AP store

I've been out of lolita for awhile, I know Angelic Pretty and Baby had their massive shows for their late winter/spring collections, do they tend to do the same for their fall releases? I need to know what to hoard my money for.

>>8518483
I might actually be you, anon. I also wanted a jellyfish print because of Kuragehime, and I was really into Lost in Sea from Krad Lanrete but I wasn't sold on the asymmetry of the print.
Either way, I'm doing it today. I'm ordering the jsk and the frill head piece in turqouise tonight when I get home from work. Good luck with the tights anon! They are really pretty.

>>8518416
Better than typical offbrand, but not quite as good as brand. If you really love a design by them, it's totally worth it.

>>8514364
White, there's no black in that dress. Why would you wear a black blouse if it doesn't match at all?

>>8514659
That was majorly rude of her! Still, though, pleaaaaase do not send food with a dress ever. PLEASE. It can get gross in the shipping process and when it's hot out you could risk it melting and possibly ruining the dress. Even if it's totally contained/packaged, the risk just spooks me out too much personally. Plus you don't know this person's preferences. Maybe they're vegan or have severe allergies.

Just. Don't send food.

>>8514864
WeLoveColors has a lot of solid options that are more plain if you're looking for something really basic.

>>8518211
>>8518217
>>8518282
I've ordered from them multiple times and they do take a while to ship out but I've never had them send the wrong wig and they gave me a discount code on the account of waiting for them to send one out.

Is anyone else as disgusted as I am by that girl posting her replica on pintucks and lace?

>>8518717
this is not the online comm thread, so please provide details and/or screencaps if you want to discuss Facebook groups on the gen.

4chan is not an extension of social media and not all of us care to open accounts just to make sense of a random anon's complaint.

>>8518669
>Maybe they're vegan or have severe allergies.
This. It doesn't excuse the paranoid response anon got, but unless you discuss it first please do not send food or anything scented.

>>8518786
Not that anon, but here is the tumblr post:
>http://kimbarose.tumblr.com/post/125432956012/making-my-ddc-replica

>>8518824
holy shit

she doesn't seem unskilled, why doesn't she just make cool original works? she could sell them and buy her own DDC instead of making a replica.

(thanks for the link)

Anon, with how fb manages your feed, I don't know why you didn't expect this.

>>8518832
Here it is worn.
The real crime is that despite her skill she managed to make it so ill-fitting.

>>8518833
I don't get it. With the cost for the fabric, trims, dye, other notions and the overskirt she probably could have bought a nice offbrand piece.

>>8518856
it doesn't even fit though

>>8518856
one of these things is not like the other
one of these things doesn't belong

>>8518861
Or even made a nice, original, unique piece with a similar feel to DDC. But that would require actual creativity.

>>8518861
but then it wouldn't be her ~dream piece~ that she identifies with so deeply.

>>8518856
she couldn't have dyed herself some matching shoes?

is her post still on that FB group?

>>8518856
Holy hotdog, how can she screw it up that bad?

>>8518896
gotta wonder what the non-replica-chan is thinking. i'd be a bit smug, ngl

>>8518836
Since sales are often conducted via Facebook, what solution do you suggest?

>>8518898
Who wouldn't? I don't know a single person who doesn't look at least a little bit down on people wearing replicas.

>>8518913
even the maker of the replica had to have had some self-esteem issues to consider copycatting "creativity."

>>8518936
Kek I just read through her tumblr post and I refuse to believe she actually made it herself and is just lying for street cred. Also she looks so unhappy with it.

She is the only good hijabi lolita because she doesn't follow any of the other modesty rules.
Notice how all the other hijabi lolita wear pants? Notice how she doesn't? That the scarf is the only modesty aspect she follows? Yeah.

>>8516763
lmao I love just how much of religion is blatantly catering to the fact that 90% of men are fucking retarded animals that can't keep it in their pants for ten minutes without chimping out and raping someone.
