How do you gulls achieve these monstrous levels of poof? I have a JSK made out of pretty heavy fabric with a ridiculously full skirt and I can't make the skirt look not deflated even with all my petticoats on at the same time.

>>8917394

>>8917395
have you tried a cage skirt? they are quite stiff, and you can wear a petti over it to hide the lines.

Holy hand grenade antioch, I need this in black.

I have so much petticoat envy right now! Should i just get a me likes tea one? I feel a impulse buy coming on.

which me likes tea petti do people recommend? I was eyeing the daily a-line petti in organza or voil. It's poof level was 4 stars. I lean towards classic with sweet coords here and there.

>>8917440
That's some Madoka level cupcake poof

>>8917434
>>8917450
Super-newfag here, how are you guys ordering if her commisions are closed (and apparently no new slots in April)?

Would you recommend Me Likes Tea, or Bunny House's petticoats? My CP petticoat has finally deflated, and I'm looking for a new bellshaped petticoat. Which petticoat would you say has the better construction, and poof durability?

>>8917440
Oh, my word I need this in my life.

>>8917663
Me likes tea are superior to Bunny house in my experience. My "xl" bunny house petti deflated in 5 months and is now my moderate poof petti, my melikestea hybrid poof monster is still huge after a year and holds up under velvet.

>>8917440
Ugh anyone have source on this petti? I love it.

>>8917676

>>8917740

>>8917414
CDC worn IRL can never compare to this level of poof. How many pettis is she wearing?

>>8917741

>>8917743
ALL OF THEM imo

>>8917748

>>8917750

>>8917752

>>8917442
Weren't melikestea petticoats actually cheap 8 dollar pettis she'd sell for like 30 dollars that people eventually found out about? Or am I thinking of someone else?

>>8917743

It's the tiered jsk. You need to layer an A-line over a cupcake. The cupcake will fill out the top of the skirt but not the bottom, the A-line will fill out the bottom but not the top. So you need two together (and you need to be able to stack them together) in order to fill out the top and the bottom.

DDC tiered jsk has the same thing, too.

>>8917759
That was kirakirajenjen, I believe.

>>8917759
melikestea pettis can be made in 3 diff fabrics. def made from scratch. look up some reviews m8

>>8917743
I was also a model in the show that photo is from. We were all wearing minimum three petticoats, Rinrin may have been wearing four.
I've found wearing an A-line with a cupcake over it and finally a shorter cupcake (like from Leg Avenue) over that gives awesome poof.

To this day, I am still amazed by the poof in this picture.

>>8918111
Another with a clearer background.

Which would you say was the superior fabric, organza or voile? I'd like to purchase the Hybrid Poof Monster from Melikestea. I've previously had an organza petticoat from Classic Puppets, which held up really well– it was one of their older ones though. Does one fabric retain poof more than the other?

>>8917676
It was for some contest where lolitas tried to achieve the biggest amount of poof possible by staking pettis, anon. If it helps, here's her review post of all her pettis http://alyssiumbaby.com/petticoat-review

Almost as if she's wearing a tutu.

How do melikestea pettis compare to bunny house pettis? (If anybody knows.) I got a cupcake petti from BH and I love it, but this thread is making me debate getting a melikestea one eventually.

>>8918173
>too much
I figured that's the point of the thread.

I haven't seen any dresses that look like they can't handle the poof, although some break the silhouette but that doesn't bother me.

Whoops. I was going to post that question last night before all of those posts, didn't assume that there'd be a post by then with the exact same question.

Regardless, >>8917671

I've had my BH petti for about 4mo, and it hasn't deflated at all yet, but melikestea seems to be the predominant winner out of every recommendation I've seen.

How do you know when a dress calls for a cupcake, bell, or a-line petti? Is it the waist cut? Would it be best to own one of each?

>>8918272

>>8918173

>>8918256
You should make a balloon coord with a dress shape like that.

>>8918316
That's where I'd draw the poof line. She's an equilateral triangle.

>>8918309

>>8918337

>>8918340

>>8918350

>>8918316
She looks like a ufo.

Bit bitter in this thread since I'm tall and can't wear too much poof or my dress ends up way short.

>>8918350
>>8918351
Not lolita, sorry.
Also,
>DSC2071
nice try selfposting

>>8917460
is that a white petticoat overtop her skirt!?

A lot of people are talking about layering cupcake over a line. Does cupcake over cupcake look bad? I want to have more poof but only have two cucake pettis. One is MeLikesTea hard tulle and the other is cotton with a bit of tulle. Which one would be best on top?

>>8917406
Could someone please tell me the name of this dress? I want it in white so bad but my search game is weak.

>>8917759
>>8917795
Yeah, kirakirajenjen was selling costume store ones or kids' flower girl petticoats or something. I still have one and it's great, but I also got it secondhand for like $10.

>>8918301

The rule of thumb is that the rectangle skirt is the only one that requires a cupcake petti. With lolita, that means nearly all border prints that's not a tiered skirt requires a cupcake petti.

For the A-line petti, they're absolutely neccessary if you're wearing a princess seam or flared skirt, particularly where the waist is not gathered, has zero poof and then the skirt becomes bigger towards your knees/hem. A cupcake petti won't fit right underneath that.

For all other shapes, it's mostly experimentation on which looks better.

Whether or not you need both depends on what's in your closet, if you only buy rectangle skirts, ever, then you only need cupcakes. If you do a mix of different skirt cuts then yes, get both.

This is so insightful, thank you!

if only the actual coord were better...

Am I the only one thinking this thread needs some hover loli edits?
Those work best with poofy skirts.

>>8918766

>>8918537
It's a Metamorphose dress, which is as far as I got not being a lolita and familiar with any of the brand lines. With a bit more Googling (maybe "metamorphose black jsk"?) you might be able to get an answer

someone took pictures at event and thought it was lolita even though it's not.

>>8918892
wait, is that a sweet cream house in black?

>>8918991
nah, it's a shitty filter over the chocolate colourway which makes it look grey/blackish

This thread gives me life

>>8918781
her head looks massive

>>8918316
I love that the print is space themed. She'll be taking off soon.

>>8917493
i have voil from her and it looks like it's not poofy when you get it but it really does have a nice shape when worn! If you plan to wear it under heavy fabric go for tulle or organza but not voil. It's perfect for everyday poof and classic for sure.

Quick stupid question about Melikestea. Does that mean $7,500 or $75.00? Am I just an idiot? It's really confusing me. Sorry.

>>8919615

Some countries use commas as decimal marks. Since it's not in the correct place to be a thousand seperator, I'm guess it means $75.

>>8919615
There's a fucking currency converter right on her website, cmon.

>>8919624
I copy pasted the number and it displayed an error message. Most currency converters don't allow punctuation.

thank you based anon

>>8918492
I remember a lot of lolitas saying rolling a cupcake petti at the top turns it into a a-line, so if double cupcake doesn't work you can try that.

>>8920058
...you mean rolling an a-line to feign a cupcake shape, don't you? Rolling a cupcake will just turn your petti into a mushroom.

Jesus Christ, as a violinist, looking at that bow curved backwards almost gave me a heart attack, you can actually damage them like that. Hopefully it's as fake as the violin. Just a tip for anyone looking to do photoshoots with bowed instruments like violins, it looks way more authentic if the bow is tightened properly. You can use a pencil or the tip if your pinky to check. They should fit perfectly between the hair and the wood. Holding a violin without a chin or shoulder rest is pretty uncomfortable, too.

>>8918537
Metamorphose crown swam embroidery jsk I think.

>>8918537
>>8922013
Old listing...
http://www.lacemarket.us/meta-swan-embroidery-scallop-jsk-black/

>>8922010
She was clearly just posing, nobody cares about your dumb hobby. You're as bad as those ballerinas getting their bloomers in a bunch for someone cosplaying en pointe. Admit it, you just wanted to brag how you're a violinist.

>>8922010
Holding the bow properly wouldn't hurt either.

>>8922019
I agree it's not a huge deal for just posing, and if you were borrowing a functional violin and bow from someone anyway they'd probably tell you this before they let you hold their (really expensive) instrument anyway. But dang, you got some salt to sort out.

>>8921910
LESS ARGUING, MORE POOFING

>>8922555

>>8922561

>>8922564

>>8922019
Um, ballerinas get their bloomers in a bunch over that because it's a sure fire way to ruin your feet if you don't know how...

>>8917440
Jesus, that is like a perfect hemisphere of poof

Part of me wants to see it in a "planetary" theme or something

>>8922010
I was taught using the Baroque hold without a chin rest, since the normal hold hurts my clavicle.

She's not holding it that way though, that's for sure.

>>8922576

>>8923518
Holy hell, this is cute. I love how subtle the colors are. Does anybody know whether the collar and wrist bits are part of the cardigan or her blouse peeking through?

>>8921910
>that bow
good god that thing's about to explode

>>8921126
>>8921129

Why is she called oreos?

>>8923528
I'm pretty sure that's the blouse, though judging by the lace I think it's actually an AP cutsew.

>>8921126

Is it me or his her face in the left pic very blurry?

>>8921126

Is it me or is her face in the left pic very blurry?

>>8924727
as is the bg around her upper arms

i see so many coords that look like they have beautiful poof but then i notice the lolita's hand is hiding behind the edge of the poof, and i realize she is holding the skirt but hiding that she is holding it out! wtf!!! fake poofers GTFO!!

pic fucking related

why even lie, fucking WHY make your poof look bigger than it is???

>>8927513
She's not even holding her skirt outwards that much though? I've seen people who have held out their skirts so that it looked like giant upside down hand fans on them.

>>8927513
>>8927578
Yeah, I actually like to rest my hand behind my dress and lightly hold my dress too but I don't pull it at all. It's just a pose I like.

>>8927513

Why you so aggressive tho lmaooo

>>8924718
Maybe she is mixed race?

>>8927593
>lmaooo
Are you black by chance?

>>8917408

>>8927513
I do that often when I pose because I don't know what to do with my hands

>>8917721
Why do the two right ones look so wront?

I get that far right isn't a traditional silhouette, but the middle looks overstuffed? Is that just what happens to cupcake shaped skirts when you fill them?

>>8917741
>first layer tucked into waistband
sorry, I feel like a complete moron, but how does that help increase the poof?

>>8918770
I'm so distracted by her man-feet.

>>8927595
probably just too much time on tumblr. If they could, they would have used that laughing/crying emoji.

I just bought a Meta petti for layering for a song and oh my god the poof over my CP bell is intense. I feel like a goth cupcake.

>>8927610
I often shrug, and that's why my coord photos usually look like shit. Fuckin hands, man. What do.

Holy shit I want to buy more pettis for more poof, but I'm already knocking shit over with that casual CP petti.

>>8927652

Angles, or you're not used to looking at lolita maybe?

The one on the left is a shot from a lower angle while both the two on the right which you say look wrong, are shot from top-down angle.

The middle one is the shape a cupcake skirt with cupcake petti makes, yes. You're not the only one who doesn't really like it, retro designs tend to use flared skirts as they found the shape more flattering on a female. Mind you, the one on the far right is a very poofy flared skirt stuffed to full capacity, so.

>>8922019
Not her but if it was just the missing chin rest I wouldn't have cared at all. The bow really does make violinists physically cringe.

>>8927595
>>8927667
Neither? It was just hilarious how someone got so mad over a fucking petticoat, damn.

what kind of skirts hold the most poof? has anyone here ever actually maximized their skirt to the fullest possible extent?

>>8936948
Atelier pierrot holds the most out of my wardrobe so far

I envy poof so much. Does anyone have experience with hoop skirts with a petti on top? I know ikea of all places has a hella cheap one, but its for children so Im not sure how well it will actually fit.

>>8936971
Even though it's for children, the elastic waist stretches over 100 cm, no problem getting over most people's hips. The ikea one is long, you'll have to cut off the last hoop.

>>8936975
Nice, good to know anon.

>>8917405
Seconding this, F+F makes one that's the right length for lolita

>>8936967
weird. i actually dislike AtPi because the dresses and skirts always seem to hang limply. i wonder if the coords i see just have the wrong petti?

>>8939627
pic related. it is a nice coord but the silhouette is awful imo. i can't imagine one of these skirts getting the kind of horizontal lift that AP can get.

i prefer gothic and i want to like AtPie. in theory the ruffles are gorgeous. but in practice, they just look weird due to lack of poof.

>>8923528
The collar is part of the Op, it looks like she's wearing wrist cuffs under the cardigan

>>8939630
here the skirt is too short on the model, but i think the petti level is what skirts like this need to not look so lifeless.

>>8932991

>>8939630

I have a few AtePie corset dresses. Can confirm they look super limp unless you layer up since they're just too heavy for a single petti. I can easily get >>8939635 level poof with two pettis.
