Do you guys have an FAQ set up for newbies?

>>9661497
F Yeah Lolita is a little outdated but has many solid and helpful articles, and there's http://thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/ which is a pretty organized guide though some claim that it's a bit biased or strict, it's fine imo.

>>9661468
All my velvet pieces, black, wine, eggplant, deep green, as well as my wool tartan IW set.

>>9661468
All the velveteen. All of it. I’ve got a couple meta pieces it’s still a bit warm for yet, and a couple Moitie pieces that are begging me to take them out.

I also need to get my wool coat cleaned. It’s brand but I wear it with everything.

>>9661498
The mobile sidebar doesn't even link to the actual guide

>>9661548
Get an actual computer, pleb.

What do personal SS normally charge? Is 10%+paypal fees good?

>>9661551

For in-store? Suspiciously good.

>>9661555
For in-store she also adds public transport tickets

>>9661498
That guidebook is pretty biased. Didn't read past the part about special sets because it's downright inaccurate.

Has anyone purchased shoes from closet child before? I just bought a pair of AP heels in C condition. They look pretty good in the picture, but I'm worried the damages might be worse than they look, considering how that was the case with Wunderwelt shoes and bags a few threads ago.

>>9661600
Which part? That they are cheaper?

>>9661498
Why does she still have Lockshop in the recommended wig brands section?

>>9661639
She recommends shops that don't exist anymore, I don't think she updates anything

>>9661634
I haven't bought shoes from them, but in my experience they're more diligent about checking for damages than Wunderwelt. Maybe it was just a coincidence though, but I've always always been relieved by what came out of closetchild packages (always less damage than I expected from the description), while with Wunderwelt it was more like "meh, as described I guess". I've bought a skirt and a vest in C condition closetchild said had damage because of pilling, but it's barely even there, and I normally hate pilling and go after it obsessively with a razor.

Bought an atelier boz petti from wunderwelt that they described of having minor damage, but the waist is stretched out and I can't wear it without taking the waistband apart and adjusting the elastic.

>>9661656
Is there a more up to date guide or is the one on tumblr the best we currently have? I honestly wouldn't oppose to linking newbies to the handbook on lj if it weren't for the outdated information combined with the dead photobucket pics.

>>9661680
A lot of facebook groups have their own

my one true love, velvets. also sugar dream dome.

Is he talking about lolita fashion or otome kei?

These are the scans that were with it, but it's too small to use google translate to check

>>9661691
I wonder what the average Japanese lolita thinks of him. I like Shimotsuma Monogatari, but in these pictures he looks an awful lot like an Asian version of the creepy sissy in my comm.

>>9661701
He made sweet lolita very popular for a few years

Why are knee/high socks sexualized so much?
I just wanna wear my fucking OTKs in peace.
>wearing classic lolita
>with black lace topped otks
>a group of girl yelled "slut" and i had dudes staring at my legs all day
You can just see like two inches of skin at most in between the lace of the socks and the hem of the skirt
>dressed in generic cute fash (frilly shorts,lacy high socks,sweater) and went to see my mom/have some coffee with her
>"i think wearing high socks is vulgar anon, it's just...too much, it's not cute"

>>9661706
I don't know but I assumed they are worn in porn a lot or by prostitutes?

>>9661706
>>9661709
why must normies and porn ruin everything good?

>>9661706
Zettai ryouiki is a thing, even if most people aren't familiar with the term. I purposely avoid it for this exact reason, I make sure my dresses are long enough to cover the top of my OTKs so no bare skin peeks at all and I've never had problems.

>>9661468
I know I'm gonna catch some kind of flack for this but I look forward to wearing most of my wardrobe in winter. I wear it in the summer but its too hot and I feel like compared to winter I wear it so much less in the summer.

I especially look forward to making summery dresses like melty sky look ok in the winter. Basically winterizing everything I own.

Doesn't help that I enjoy winter time more. Could not wait for it to get cold.

>>9661712
It is a thing to Japanese people and weebs, it doesn't explain why Westerners sexualize it so much

>>9661709
This board is like r9k the sequel sometimes.

There's nothing wrong with watching porn.

>>9661718
And Westerners also sexualize UTKs, so not just zettai ryoiki

>>9661718
Because its common in more than just Japanese porn.

>>9661706
>>9661718
Do you live in a rural area or what? I live in a generally fashionable big city and I've never gotten negative comments, and I wear otks nearly every day.

>>9661551
that sounds great. Often i find its 15%-20%, a transportation fee (even if theyre going there for 2 people they charge you the whole train fair half the time), and either as shit yen to currency ratio or paypal fees

>>9661718
What I meant is that the bare strip of skin between a skirt and OTKs can be interpreted as sexual by normies too, it's not an exclusively Japanese thing, hence
>even if most people aren't familiar with the term

>>9661721
So they are? I don't know because I only watch paid lesbian porn and they don't wear them

>>9661729
>paying for porn
wew
>lesbian porn
nice taste

>>9661718
its generally the same thing though, it kind of brings your attention to the skin showing on your thighs.

>>9661722
with a skirt maybe, but i went thru a punk(?)/HT weirdo phase with my friends where we wore shorts to our knees but sometimes shorter (it was normal to wear short booty shorts to school here though) and hot topic UTK and if anytihing we were just called weirdos and avoided.

>>9661728
first poster here, it makes sense. Sadly.
I just think they're cute but I can't wear them without boys cumming all over their pants and people getting agitated. I just wanna wear them in peace.
I'm not even chubby or especially tall/short

>>9661468
Is that dress hard to find?

>>9661706
I can't wrap my head around it either. You'd think that people would be more chill about it since [pic related] tights have been getting more and more popular lately.
>"vulgar"
Seriously, wtf? This is completely incomprehensible to me.

>>9661761
heh, my mother would find that thing vulgar as well.
I mean, once her and my father tried to stop me from leaving the house in frilly shorts and thigh highs because i "looked like a whore"
(i never ever show any cleavage and barely have boobage, i was covered by a big sweater with a scarf and a beanie,my butt is covered,?????) and "if a boy touches you it'll be partially your fault"
From my own parents. Wowie.

It's ironical, there's no need to be so edgy. Who hurt you?

>>9661704
Really? He’s the one who made sweet popular?

>>9661783
Japanese people switch hobbies/subcultures relatively quickly. Takemoto was a popular and respected writer before his weed scandal, his essays became popular enough to release books, his books became popular enough to release a film. He created a ''boom'' in sweet lolita just like how Mana created a boom for gothic lolita.

>>9661706
>iktf
I’ve been told that my OTKs are “inappropriate” and “overly revealing” by people who had no problem with transparent tops clearly showing off the bra or tiny booty shorts with part of the asscheek hanging out. Because tits and ass aren’t sexual but the bit of skin just above my knees is, apparently. I’ve also been harassed over knee-length red tartan skirts because those are apparently designed to sexually arouse men, too. Someone alert Scotland.

>>9661724
Nayrt but I live in a big university town. I’ve also been harassed about this in London.

>>9661796
So this was pre-2007?

>>9661790
I think edgy is overused on here, moreso than newfag.

>>9661783
>>9661796
His popularity and the actresses of Shimotsuma Monogatari were more mainstream than Mana so it drew a lot of new people to lolita.

>>9661803
I'm sorry for you anon. Normies are fucking retarded. They're ok with stuff like that but god forbid a gal wears long socks that's absolutely shameful

>>9661794
I'm having second hand anxiety there, holy fuck.

>>9661810
The moment that Kardashian girl wears OTKs with a tartan skirt it will become mainstream and perfectly acceptable for middle schoolers, though.

>>9661821
this.
Once sheeple idols do something it becomes acceptable

>>9661821
This. Once normie idols wear something it becomes acceptable and totes trendy

>>9661821
Didn't Britney Spears already do this shit in the early 2000s? I thought this was a private school uniform thing.

>>9661849
Yeah, complete with pigtails and suggestive lyrics. In her case it was clearly meant to appeal to the “naughty Catholic barely legal schoolgirl” image meant to excite skeevy men, though. The KKKs are just as sexually exploitative but somehow their fashion choices are viewed as avant-garde rather than porny. I don’t get it, but hey.

I don’t really want (or expect) lolita to ever become mainstream but I’d love it if people would stop assuming it’s something sexual because in reality, I’m the biggest prude I know.

>>9661849
Yeah, but it's all about Kyyyyyyyyyylie now.

>>9661639
Because it's a wig shop?

Been waiting nearly a month for my closetchild order, why did I choose epacket?
Euroanons, is this normal? It's supposed to be faster SAL but I've had SAL arrive faster than this.Tracking hasn't updated since it left Tokyo.

Do you ever feel like the ugliest girl of the group or just look at random girls and think "i'll never be a pretty girl"? It's starting to grow on me more and more and sometimes I think about stopping lolita because i feel like it emphasizes my ugliness and someone like me isn't fit for such a beautiful fashion.
I've been told I was cute,several times,but all throughout high school i was called ugly so many many times that i can't scrub this label off me no matter what i do, i only see the flaws in my body,face,person. No matter what i try (skincare,makeup,...)

>>9661896
I don't mean to alarm you, but you should maybe contact them, it sounds weird anon.

>>9661873
They literally built their empire from Kim being on her back, that's a hell of a disconnect. Thanks for clarifying it though, I was really confused as to why that'd suddenly be acceptable.

https://item.fril.jp/1f157b24ec01390893ed999fc0a7c6ff
Did AP really make this awful lacemonster?

>>9661914
Yup, it was a collab in 2003, https://lolibrary.org/items/ap-aya-princess-op

Anyone hear back from Street Fashion Europe yet? They announced a mook which looks really cool but I still haven't heard back from them.

>>9661917
Oh,yeah,right! But why did they choose such shitty materials?

>>9661896
All my e-packet orders have arrived within 1-2 weeks
Maybe it's being held up by customs or something?

>>9661926
Who knows, there's a good chance they gave the collaborator a lot of creative hold on the piece. I know a lot of amazing vkei stage clothes look pretty awful offstage so it could be something like that.

>>9661922
They announced iit like a week ago, chill. Maybe your art was ugly tho. I was kind of disappointed they accept art from people who aren't into jfashion or lolita.

>>9661935
Sorry, I wasn't talking about the artist applications. I was talking about the staff applications from a few weeks ago, apologies for not clarifying.

Speaking of Street Fashion Europe, why did they never release the videos? I missed Under the Sea and they said they would film the interviews/speeches.

>>9661946
I have a lot of unanswered questions about SFE but I get the impression that they're under a ton of pressure for whatever reason. They've never been this late with an event, I just hope nobody of them sees this and feels pressured though. I'm just really curious to see what's planned. Feels like something will be very different this time around.

>>9661794
stopped at "I'm pretty new"
Who wants to hear a vlog by a babbylita? It's one thing if this is someone's dream dress story or an impulse by someone who at least knows what they like.
What a dingus.

>>9661894
Not one that should be suggested though, that was anons point.

>>9661951
A few weeks ago they were searching for volunteers from countries which didn't had an event yet. And Kyra commented on someones post that they haven't planned an event yet. So they probably won't have an event next year or it will be happening later in the year.

>>9661794
She made a stupid mistake, was very lucky to get her money back in the end and than starts being like 'why would anyone ever pay such a huge amount for any lolita dress' and 'their business must be doing bad'.
Just be grateful and double check the price tag next time.

>>9661971
It's a shame they haven't even left a "We'll get back to you by x date" message though, though my country is probably low priority for SFE expansion.

>>9661794
whats the dirt on pixielocks?

>>9661980
head over to the farm, she's not lolita so it's just derailing (however unintentional) to start talking about her here.

>>9661914
Imageboard, anon, post it

>>9661794
i want to comment what a faux pas she committed but i dont have the energy. what a cunt.

>>9661794
What a dumb cunt holy fuck, how could you mis-read the same tag multiple times, and then march into AP and berate the staff to get a refund you aren't even entitled to? I hope AP has her bimbo ass blacklisted.

>>9661794
What an idiot. Also lol @ her showing of that kid she banged. Asian fetish 2themax

what happened to soft degree?

this might be a dumb question but is coscraft an OK place to get wigs from?

>>9661794
Fahr left a pretty accurate response on the video about the return culture in Japan and people usually doing research when they are purchasing from AP etc.

Kelly seemed a bit thick here, she acknowledges she made a mistake but is so entitled- she doesn't seem to understand everywhere is not like America where you can bring things back no matter what. All I can think about is if this will make it harder for foreigners trying to shop in AP/Laforet, if she's given the impression we don't understand how to read numbers and will expect company policy to be bent due to the 'but I'm a foreigner' argument.

>>9661794
I hope she gets blacklisted from AP after that. Why the fuck would it be $148? She was really lucky to get a refund. Also she seriously expected the shopgirls to be nice to her after returning a $1500 dress because she missed a zero on the end? Those girls likely work for commission, of course they'd be pissed, especially when they aren't obliged to let you return stuff. And then she went on to imply that AP was doing badly and thats why the girls were rude. No, they were rude because you were acting like an entitled dumbass. Lolita is a niche fashion and they only make a certain amount of those dresses. Any half decent person trying to get into lolita would do their research and know that nothing from AP costs $148. She should've just kept the dress and sold it, instead of causing a scene and making all of us foreign lolitas look bad.

>>9661981
okay, i understand. thank you

I need some help from any crafty folks around. I got my hands on an old AP skirt from a friend which has had paint spilled on it, and I want to dye it black and use it for dailywear. However, after seeing that sad Fantastic Dolly OP posted here a few days ago, I've realised that I need to get rid of the print or it will be visible even after dyeing. Does anyone know how I can remove the print from the skirt?

>>9662164
What print is it? Please don't dye it black, make it into bows or something. There are tons of plain skirts on the market for cheap.

>>9662132
Just look for taobao shops or resellers. Dreamholic used to be pretty good, but their wigs are overpriced and take too long to ship out.

>>9662151
This. It really helps that harajuku AP staff already hates foreigners. I can see why with foreigners who pull this.

>>9662164
Why not embroider over the stain? Place a cute patch over it? Anything but dye it anon. Why would you think that's the best solution? What dress is it?

>>9662166
>>9662174
It's the black Rose Toilette skirt. The paint is black, and the whole skirt (including the print) is really unsalvageable. She was painting a bedside table for her new house and managed to knock the whole can onto her lap, and when she tried to wash it out she just spread a lot of it and made the problem worse. It's hard to patch or make bows when the stain is affecting quite that much of the cloth. My friend was going to throw it away, but I want to see if I can at least salvage it for casual wear.

Plus, on the embroidery... I love the idea, but I haven't done embroidery since I was a teenager, and even then, I sucked at it. Sadly, I am not Momoko.

Some advice please anons.

>SS messages me about getting around to sending me an invoice
>Have no idea what she's talking about as I haven't put in an order for months
>Ask what it's for
>Tells me it is for the last item I contacted her about...in June
>Ignoring the lack of contact, the winning bid ended over my max bid

I've tried saying 'Oh, but my bid was xx and you've bid more, was there an error' etc and she doesn't seem to be acknowledging that she's overbid. I've been using her service for years so don't want to be rude, but I don't now want to pay extra for a dress especially given the amount of time that has passed (my currency isn't doing great so it's even more expensive for me now that she's taken so long to say she won).

Should I ask her to absorb the difference as she made the mistake or something similar, or tell her that I can accept it this time but won' pay for that kind of mistake again?

>>9662212
She really messed up on her part. Either tell her you don't want it or that she should pay the difference. If she gets upset and blocks you, good riddance. I wouldn't use a SS that is so slow and doesent follow directions.

>>9661803
A certain cohort of men in London is really, really weird about skirts. No one takes a second look at me in skinny jeans, but wear one skirt (knee-length, normie, with opaque tights and flat-soled boots) and all the skeevy assholes are suddenly leering. It's as if they actually think a woman in a skirt is declaring herself sexually available to anyone.

>>9661906
Her mom sold a video of her having anal sex. The dysfunction in that family, Kris basically selling her kids' sex lives, is through the roof. And the girls try to hang in there and live as best they can giving the circumstances, while she raised Rob to just be useless and jobless for life.

>>9662151
And she's probably one of those assholes who, if the people they're talking to don't understand English well, instead of speaking more slowly, patiently, and with careful pronunciation, just raise their voices and start yelling. Poster girl for uneducated white trash.

>>9662171
I'm almost glad I don't wear any AP (most of my wardrobe is classic and black), and won't have to deal with the repercussions of idiots' actions.

I'm sorry if this isnt the right place to ask but I figured it would be better than making my own thread but was wondering if you ladies could help.

My GF has been very interested in Lolita lately and I figured I could try and get something together for her in time for Christmas or even her Birthday (late Jan.) I looked though that guidebook linked at the beginning but it didn't really help that much, especially since I think my GF's style would be more "Aristo" (She really wants an Imperial Russian coord) but don't really know where to start looking or whats a good brand vs meme brand. I was looking at Juliette et Justine as it has a lot of stuff I think she'd love. Is it a good brand? (especially pic related) whats the wait time like and are they easy to buy from? She's 177cm so I'd assume I'd need to get a slightly longer petticoat to account for those extra cm's? I also have to somehow get her measurements to make sure the bodice, sleeves and shoulders all measure up

Are there any well known brands for doing nice lolita outerwear? I'd love to get her a fur trimmed coat so she can get some cute Russian winter accessories like a muff and ushanka. (Or maybe low key Kokoshnik, I may know someone I could do a custom order through for that hopefully)

if this isnt the right place to ask sorry.

>>9662284
Hi anon! Maybe post some dresses or things she has/likes in the "coord help thread"! Lots of brand have classy outerwear, such as Innocent World and Atelier Boz, as well as Alice and the Pirates. If you have images that will help.

As for more Russian styled items I don't know any Japanese brand that makes some, but China or Europe may have options. So sweet!

>>9662187
I'm sorry, but who paints while wearing lolita? She deserved what happened, ffs

>>9662284
For outerwear with fur trim, I know Sheglit also has a few pieces in stock currently. Their Maetel collab piece had it's reservation end recently, but maybe they'll have some online stock when it comes out. You can get their stuff through Wunderwelt Fleur, and even if they don't carry it online just contact them asking if they can get it from Sheglit's store for you (providing it's in stock). I've done that before and they're super quick to reply, native english, and more than happy to get you anything from them. Otherwise I'd look at Closet Child and Wunderwelt for used items, they're sure to be unloading their winter stock now/soon for people to buy. Looking around I don't see many other stores with new items currently in stock with fur.

>>9661794
What a fucking retard. First of all, how could you not ascertain immediately by looking at the construction of the dress compared to others that it wouldn't have been $148, second of all what an entitled bitch with that attitude, she should have had to suck it up and keep it. Gross. Also she looks like a transman, gtfo egl.

>>9662352
Pink haired bimbo with silicon boobs can't read numbers, wow. I feel bad for people who need to buy almost as much in taxes as the price of the items they buy, but for this one? And her guy friend who "knows Japanese" and can also not read numbers is probably a stoner.

>>9662372
*pay in taxes
not buy

>>9662151
Why the fuck would they work on commission?

>>9662284

JetJ's Made To Order has a wait time of around half year, but their ready stock usually only takes a few weeks to ship out. Just make sure the page you're buying from doesn't say stuff like "you will receive this dress after March 2018" if you don't want to wait half a year.

Other notable thing is that JetJ does accept some limited alterations if you're willing to pay for it. Most Japanese brands are made for girls around 160cm in height, so the waists of dresses often sit a bit too high. You can write in to Jetj and see if they can make an alteration for bodice length +5cm, move the bust dart down by 2.5cm, or whatever. I've had bust increases done on ready stock and they accepted it, so they should be able to do a bodice length increase on ready stock as well, provided their fabric/design/print allows it. They're easy to order from, the staff speaks English. But if you're requesting alterations make sure you send in an email and ask if they can actually do it or not first, as certain designs or the way the fabric is printed means it can't be done at all.

You can also take a second look at Innocent World. About half their dresses actually come in longer lengths (100+cm). They have a fair amount of solids and floral prints in between the twee sweet stuff that work better for Aristo, though no crazy prints like JetJ. As a bonus, the longer dresses are usually already longer in the bodice, and if you go for the shirred dresses (usually jsks are shirred) then you don't need to be so precise with the measurements as the shirring provides quite a bit of range.

There's a couple of other brands that Aristo girls like, namely Excentrique and Moi Meme Moitie (you want their EGA section), but I think neither goes well with the Imperial Russian image. Just adding a couple more brands you might want to look at, I suppose.

Sooo anyone or their little birds hear anything about an AP USA anniversary party yet?

>>9661896
I had an e-packet from CC taking two months to get to me...and no, it wasn't stuck in customs. So I wouldn't worry too much, I'm pretty sure it will show up eventually!

>>9662284
Right, you mention 'Aristo', technically, Aristocrat is a different style. Aristocrat does not equal lolita with tea length hems, such as what JetJ puts out.

If you're wanting that Imperial Russian look, JetJ is a very good bet, or even some IW longer length pieces, which fit a range of styles.

If you're wanting the gothic Aristocrat look, Moi Meme Moitie or Atelier Boz are the way to go.

>>9661905
That sounds a lot like you have problems with your self-confidence and body image. You need to work on that first because no amount of make-up will change how you see yourself (and cgl is kinda a bad place for you because many people here act like you have to look like a top model to wear Lolita even if they look nothing like this themselves)

>>9661971
I'd love to help out if I could, but I live in a country that's VERY unlikely to ever hold a SFE event as we have a small, pretty inactive comm.

>>9661794
I kinda hoped she wouldn't be able to return the dress and it'd end up being a review vid instead.
learn to live with your dumb mistakes, we only care about the brand here.

>>9661794
God damn did I get triggered by her pronouncing the "T" at the end of La Foret and her retarded friend's inability to convert JPY to USD. This idiot. Way to give people a bad perception of AP shop girls when you're just too stupid to function in a foreign country.

>>9662513
Barcelona has a small comm too, have you ever seen them?

>>9662522
I hadn't, actually. That's a good point, then! My city is quite gorgeous IMO, and very cheap compared to Barcelona/Amsterdam. Very centrally located too. It would be a dream to have an event here, but I feel like it's somewhere that's overlooked a lot.

>>9662212
>winning bid ended over my max bid
Not your responsibility to pay the winning bid then. If she makes a mistake it is not for you to pay for it, especially if it's the higher tending price the higher their service fee. Why wait months to tell you that you won???

>>9662509
I know anon, i'm working on that, but god sometimes it's overwhelming. You're right though.

>>9662167
I've had wigs from dreamholic before but I just wondered if that particular shop was any good. They're UK based and I need a specific wig for my halloween coord, and taobao will take too long.

>>9662293
I agree completely. Even though she is a daily lolita, this was really fucking stupid of her. At least she knows how dumb she was, one of the reasons she's given me the skirt is because she doesn't want to look at it any more because she feels bad. But I still want to know if I can somehow remove the print and turn it into something vaguely wearable. I don't like throwing away clothes.

>>9662265
>extremely OT, but I saw the Kim K pr0n and I'm pretty sure there was no butt-stuff?

anyway, Halloween's getting closer and closer gulls!
I usually plan months ahead but this year I have no clue what kind of coord I want to wear. thinking about walking around in something OTT though
what are some of your dress up plans?

>>9662584
If I were you I'd try to salvage what little of the fabric is undamaged and use it to make something else, even if you can only do a few 2" bows or something. You won't be able to "remove the print", I'm sorry anon.

>>9662584
bleaching, but that would absolutely wreck the fabric. I'd harvest the trims and non-dyed parts of the print, or keep and use it for some kind of alt/edgy themed costume.
post pics anon!

>>9662284
I wouldn't recommend surprising her for her first EGA or EGL item. set a budget and sit down and window shop with her. make sure she knows her measurements because it would be the worst bummer for a dress or coat to arrive that doesn't end up fitting. You can add an accessory to surprise her but a first purchase should always be informed and, I suggest, assisted.

I'd just go straight to googling how to remove paint from fabric.... not that many mishaps of that proportion on cgl, I think.

I was going to suggest it might be better entirely if you paint the whole skirt with the same black housepaint if you can't get it off. At least it'll be an even colouring and not a blotchy stain. Then use it for grunge punk coords instead of casual coords (since the fabric is likely too stiff for casual coords after that).

>>9661794
Whoa whoa whoa.

Isn't she one of the new Kawaii Ambassadors?

How is it appropriate to 1. Act like this in AP, and 2. Make a video to profit off of her acting like this?

>>9661468
I'm in the Southern Hemisphere so I can't wait to sweat around in the scorching sun.
I hate summer.

>>9662683
Hm. I hadn't thought of that. I've always wanted to try punk lolita... Guess I've found my Halloween costume for this year, thanks anon!

>>9661734
Its so awful to be found attractive.

>>9661779
>ironical
>edgy

Chriiiist.
>>9661772
You and your moms there sound so out of touch.

>>9662396
Nope, the shop staff said they are still in the middle of planning but no word on dates yet

>>9661794
Holy fuck this girl is insanely stupid.

I can't believe this is actually a thing that happened.

>>9662212
Name and shame

>>9662386
Maybe bc retail? Idk how that works in Japan though.

>>9662684
I hope AP sees it.

>>9661689
He's probably using the literal word Otome, which means Maiden.

>>9661468
I've been looking on Closet Child for coats, but they all seem on the smaller side in the bust region (~90 cm). I've been steadily losing weight this year and have about a 95 cm bust currently. I know that coats don't generally have shirring, so they'll be less forgiving, but it seems weird to me that the sizing is so small since coats are generally a bit roomier to allow extra layers underneath.
What are your experiences with brand coats, gulls? Should I just wait until next winter to outfit myself with cute winterwear?

>>9662788
They don't

>>9662818
I'd wait.

>>9662818
Well think about their sales demographic: Japanese women. Most women are easily under 90cm.

>>9662818
Maybe you can get a cape? Also, wait.

>>9662818
Can you get one of those waist length cropped jackets for the time being? I think baby had some that went up to a 100cm bust

>>9662822
>>9662825
>>9662841
>>9662904
Thank you all for your input! I like the cape idea, and I'll look into the cropped jackets too.

At least I'll have plenty of time before next winter to get down to the proper size and track down something wonderfully cute and cozy!

Wanted to just recommend these two types of AP OTKs. I've so far collected multiple colors of each type, because they wash so well in a modern laundry machine on delicate settings. I have also washed both types in the sink and both methods work fine.
I'm a small-medium girl (5'3, 130lb) and they aren't able to both stretch around my calf and over my knee, but they sit just below the knee very well and don't slide down easily.

>>9662937
>5'3
>they aren't able to both stretch around my calf and over my knee, but they sit just below the knee

These socks sound horrible, why would you recommend them? AP has lots of styles that will stretch over the calf, and actually be OTKs/thigh highs on someone your size or bigger. You can machine wash most AP socks as well, so that isn't really an issue.

>>9663003
I'm 5"5 and 125 lbs. The socks on the right stretch up and above my knee perfectly fine, even when I was 130 lbs. I guess anon just has bigger legs.

>>9662910
Meta's coats usually seem to go up to a 100cm bust too.

>>9663003
the socks are fine, anon is just fat.

i don't get why >>9662937 felt the need to make a post recommending princess logo OTKs considering they're literally AP's staple solid-colored sock.

>>9663003
>>9663006
Do you have guys have any recommendations for OTKs that actually fit like OTKs on taller people?
I'm 5'9" (skinny but have long legs) and basically all I want is a white and black pair of lace topped OTKs. Should I even bother looking at brand ones?

>>9662818
Try Maxicimam

>>9661896
My package from CC was sent 13 october and has arrived at the customs today where I am situated (I live in a nordic country). I choose epacket.

>>9663017
Jane Marple

>>9663017
Brand socks have been getting longer and longer. You'll be fine anon, just don't buy Baby's lace see-through socks, they have hardly any stretch. Lace topped, you should be fine especially if you're skinny.

>>9663047
Seconding this. Though I think AP socks are stretchier than Baby's.

>>9663017
I'm 5'9ft, 127lbs and IW has been good to be stretch wise. Aatp isn't bad either. MM goes over but barely. Most of my weight is in my legs though, so you might have better stretch.

>>9663047
>>9663054
Oh I definitely agree anon. Only the newer socks though. I had a pair of old AP socks that were so short I couldn't keep them above my knee. My AatP lace topped socks are really stretchy, they go a decent amount past my knee (I'm 5'6" with long legs), but AP's nylon socks (the ones similar to tights) reach waay higher. IW is also great, same height as the AatP socks, just partially up my thigh. I guess I could stretch them all more, but then I get holes in the toe area.

>>9663008
I got a long meta coat on mercari this morning for ¥4000, will write you a review when I get it, anons.

>>9662388
That’s great info, anon, thanks! Their best pieces are as expensive or more expensive on the second hand market, so next time there’s one I really like I’ll spring for the release and will ask them to tailor it to my 170cm body.

>>9662684
she just became a kawaii leader for Kawaii I, but either way she is a turd who knows nothing of j fashion and can barely pronounce kawaii lol

>>9661794
This bitch deserves to be banned from AP. She should be embarrassed instead of playing the victim card. Hope she chokes on some Bodyline.

>>9663264
Why the fuck did they pick someone with an ugly face, shitty dyed hair, and roots showing to be a "kawaii leader"?

>>9663264
Even Pixie would have been a better choice than this train wreck.

>>9661706
Oh, oh I understand
>ABSOLUTE TERRITORY

>>9661794
I don't see how she didn't know this, and personally I think she either made this story up and exaggerated it. She has had lolita pieces before, because I follow her Depop and she's sold Angelic Pretty dresses before. In fact, she sold a solid mint OP, that she said originally cost $280. So she is familiar with AP, or atleast she was a year ago because that is when she sold the dress.

People pointed out that she also went Japan with other lolitas, and she knows more lolitas on top of that. This mistake just seems extreme for someone who has been to Japan before and knows the fashion.

If it isn't true, shes a lolcow making up fake stories for attention that just make her look bad. If it is true, she really shouldn't be working with Kawaii.i.

>>9663017
I'm 5'11 with thin legs and Innocent World's OTKs go all the way over my knees. Would highly recommend.

>>9663316
The first time I heard about it was when Claire (space print girl) posted about her friend mysteriously overpaying at AP in Rufflechat. So she has lolita friends who then asked a bunch of other lolitas who were plenty sympathetic... and then she made that obnoxious video. I’m glad I watched only part of it with Adblock on.

>>9661922
I wrote them an email regarding the previous post about looking for volunteers and translators and haven't even heard back from that, so...

>>9662683
Why the fuck would you wear a skirt painted with housepaint? That's a terrible idea.

>>9663372
Of course Claire is her friend.

>>9663284
Because she has a big social media following. That’s the main thing they consider

>>9661794
This girls foundation is way too light for her face. She seriously is Joker levels in this.

Also, I hope this has permanently burned her on AP and lolita in general. I really appreciate lolita's learning curve and am glad it keeps out ~~lol guys i love kawaii kulture~~ types like her out. This girl is such an insufferable bitch with awful levels of entitlement. I also hate how both Pixie and her seem to think they're horrible behavior warrants kindness from staff. Learn more about the fashion before diving in or go buy more Hello Kitty toasters and pretend you're worthy of the Kawaii Ambassador title.

>>9663518
Excuse you she didn't hurt anyone and was just being funnay!!!11

>>9663525
Most people who make mistakes live with the repercussions, not force others to fix it. God I agree with the black comment.

>>9663525
>don't spit hate at someone who made a mistake
It was a dumb mistake to make but people are angry because she demanded AP took the dress and bonnet back, not because she unknowingly spent $1,500.

>>9663525
Is pink her friend or just a buttlicker of hers?

>>9663551
It's Fahr. Obnoxious attention whores gotta stick together, I guess.

>>9662937
Uhhhhh I'm 5'3 160 and these go so high on me people think they're tights. I'm not even pear or apple shaped, I have a strong hourglass proportion with thicc legs

>>9663525
really not pleased that one of the RC mods made a catty comment here. they're supposed to be modding, not joining in the fray. fahr is on the biggest horse of them all.

>>9663570
Maybe it’s my autism but I couldn’t tell which side the mod would be on with that comment. Black’s positive response suggests she’s on black’s side, but she’s acknowledging that she’s on a high horse so maybe not? Idk but I agree, fahr’s moral high ground smells like a performance more than anything genuine. There was really no need to get involved and start lecturing people.

This is a joke, right? She doesn't actually expect this much money? The OP literally sold for 3000 yen on mercari a few weeks ago.

I thought the 500 dollars was a placeholder but she discounted so now I'm not so sure.

Have been holding onto this piece for awhile with no use for it. I'd love to make a coord with it but I don't have any dresses/skirts that match it ATM. Any suggestions on what prints would go well with it?

>>9663670
I thought it was too since she's taking offers.

>>9663533
>>9663557
Pink clearly doesn't know who black is and that's embarrassing.

>>9663676
>>9663786

>>9663597
Fahrs friend is the guy buying the dress with Kelly, that’s a good reason.

>>9663551
The guy who went with Kelly is fahrs friend.

>>9663818
The one who pretended to know Japanese and also couldn't read the price tag correctly? How embarrassing.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to sign up for secret santa.
>>9632470

>>9663557
Fah left a really good comment on Kelly video actually. On point and backhanded as fuck

>>9663570
mods are allowed to have opinions and make jokes, she wasn't being inflammatory in the situation and reminded people not to resort to name calling etc.

Fahr should have left it at leaving her youtube comment.

Do brands often have sales during November-December?? I've only started this year to regularly check brand websites as I can now afford it,, I'm always a sucker for cheap brand so

>>9663835
What's sad? That dress is amazing

>>9663829
Thanks

>>9663848
Where?

>>9663788
ahhh that would look really good actually!! I hadn't considered a solid dress since the cape it'self was also solid so it made me think of prints. I think I really like your suggestion though!! I'm definitely gonna keep my eyes peeled for some white dresses!

>>9663518
>hello kitty toasters

Actually she is selling all her Hello Kitty merchandise. She made a big deal about it on her Depop, saying she can no longer support sanrio because they refused to sponsor her because of her tattoos.

>>9663853
New Years is the major sale period in Japan.

Can anyone with JetJ's longer (101-110cm) length dresses suggest a good petticoat? I bought an A-line one and it looks strangely overstuffed, is there a better material to go for with longer lengths or good shop, taobao or not for them?

>>9663993

Is this for real? Holy shit.

>>9663993
What’s with her tattoo?

>>9664026
i do one of the longer malco modes ones with a deflated layering petti on top. can't tell you which one though i got it from a thrift store a couple years ago

>>9663993
This is hilarious. She thinks she’s entitled to corporate sponsorship, why? Andrea has silicon boobs too, no one cares. If she want sponsors into bimbofication she should go to the hentai industry, not Sanrio.

>>9664030
she is heavily tattooed, she never shared sanrio's response about the sponsorship. I reckon there are multiple reasons for not sponsoring her... not that they'd have anything to gain from her lol

IW just confirmed they are releasing Rabbit Letter!

>>9664151
I thought they confirmed it already, they've held a survey for potential buyers weeks ago.

>>9664254
I just got the confirmation email, but I know the survey was send out a while ago.

>>9664254

They had a tone of "we're considering it if we get enough respondents" throughout the survey, actually. Which is pretty fair, I imagine if they got only two people who responded they'd just cancel it.

I just wish they'd released some other accessories with the print on it. The original had a hairclip that I really like.

>>9664270
Yeah I really wish they would release the tote or the small pouches as well.
I'm kicking myself for not ordering the tights too.

>>9663670
If she wants offers, why not make it an auction???

>>9661794
Wait, didn't she say her bank cancelled the transaction thinking it was fraud? But AP still refunded her.
I don't use credit cards so I might sound dumb, but wouldn't that mean AP didn't get the money in the first place? How could they refund her?

>>9663670
Lmao glad I got the OP for 30 bucks on mercari ayyyyyyyeeeee

>>9664026
Physical drop

>>9664307
Yeah, the way she told it, it sounds like she scammed AP out of $1500

>>9664307
She tried to pay with her debit card first and that was the transaction her bank called her about. I don't think she canceled the credit card transaction. If she did, I guess she will have to sort out quite a bit with her credit card company...

>>9664387
Oh that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying, hopefully AP got all their money back.

Is it worth buying Angelic Pretty coats at full price? Or wait for sales? None seem to be selling out at the moment.

>>9664410

If you have your eye on one specific, certain, particular coat and colourway that you really love, adore and totally wish to own, you might as well just buy it now. It's only in stock until it's sold out.

And given it's not even winter yet and AP winter sales is in Jan, chances are pretty high some of the trendier ones will become sold out once winter properly starts.

If you don't particularly care which coat and are fine with leftovers, yes, wait for sales/lucky packs or go to closet child and get a random coat.

>>9664398
She gave the dress back and AP refunded her the money on her credit card

>>9663993
This is lolcow worthy material holy shit. I don't know the full story but Sanrio doesn't have to sponsor pink haired tattooed bimbos just because they ask nicely and love ~teh kawaii kultureeeee~. What an entitled cunt

>>9664479
Someone please make a thread on her there. She's like a new Jillian.

>>9664516
IMO she’s worse than Jillian

>>9664516
What happened in the past with Jillian??

>>9664521
check out her lolcow threads, there's enough info there
also Jill actually wants to become a kawaii leader too now lol

>>9664529
I guess if Kelly eden of all people can become a kawaii leader, anyone can

>>9664410
They don't come up often in secondhand sales for the really cute ones. If you like something in particular, it's worth it. If you don't mind what particular coat you get then it's better to wait.

am I the only person who doesn't care about the lives of lolitas?

>>9664443
>>9664561
Thanks anons, I’ll go ahead and get the one I want!

>>9664567
Yes you are utterly and perfectly unique in all the world.

>>9664567
Yes, you are so unique

>>9664581
Just on cgl. I don't care about the rest of the world. Thanks for your sorry attempt at snark.

Probably struck a nerve. Do you enjoy talking about other people a lot anon?

>>9664581
>>9664582
I don't normally yell samefag but this probably is. Especially considering
>current time

>>9664584
Why would someone samefag about something like that? Wtf

>>9664584
Yeah its not a real original thought I'll admit that, they probably just didn't refresh the page before replying.
>>9664583
Not particularly.

>>9661794
I'm so fucking mad at this.
How do people like this even get famous or get the fucking money to casually go shopping in Japan? Fucking Christ. This video is making me suicidal.

>>9664596
Then why reply? You just needed to post real bad? Needed to put words in a box and hit that post button?

Does anyone have that guide for hairdressers for a hime cut?

>>9664307
Her bank called, not her credit card company. Remember, she said she tried debit card first and it was declined.

I really wish they just stuck with their guns and refused to return it. All sales are final, fuck off. You made a mistake because your uwu fuckboi fucked up trying to impress you with his sugoi Japanese reading skills but fucked you over. Too bad. Resell it in the west. And the nerve of her wanting them to hurry up checking to make sure that it wasn't worn because SHE was late for her shoot. Oh boo hoo, the world doesn't revolve around you and they want to make sure that you didn't smear your birthday cake fondant makeup on the inside or rip a seam with your fake boobs. I actually would have appreciate it more if they held her there until she was too late for her shoot for it to be acceptable AND didn't take the dress back.

Everything about this just screams entitled spoiled bitch who grew up in a wealthy family and always getting her way. Fuck I'm so angry.

>>9664531
Of course, you just need enough followers to vote for you. Having knowledge of jfashion or even looking good in a JFashion style is not a requirement. The only requirement is being populair/having lots of followers. Which I believe this girl does.

>>9661794
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAYEBrIPc08

Whew boy her haul is pretty awful too. What a sad woman.

>>9664615
I’ve always believed that stupid Kawaii International contest was rigged. The winners almost always either are in cahoots with the organizers or are e famoose enough for the fashion to not even really matter. They don’t judge based off of quality of the coordinate, just based on the quantity of followers you have

>>9664622
JFC all the clothes look like shit on her and are too small.

I wash most of my Lolita in my washing machine without any problems but I just got Holy Lantern and I was wondering how to wash it without ruining the flocking?

>>9664629
I dont think a single one of the cardigans she bought fit her correctly. The only item that looked good on her was the one that covered all her tattoos that she called shapeless...

>>9664644
No one with implants should ever attempt lolita. What did she expect? Bitch that shit don’t fit

>>9664622
Hope in the fuck is she even getting into some of those. I mean a lot of them aren't flattering but I didn't even think liz lisa dresses could stretch that much even with shirring. I wonder what her bust measurement is.

>>9664622
Are these Romantic Cat OTKs she's disgracing there?

>>9661721
There is nothing wrong with watching porn it is just annoying when porn effects peoples view of lolita fashion.

>>9664657
The very same.

So if I ordered a lockshop wig tomorrow, do you think I'd get it before Halloween? Or not at all. I've heard a lot of shit about her shipping, I'm just wondering if she's still a scammer or not. I'm in the UK so shipping shouldnt take too long but I'm worried it might.

>>9664699
Just ask her

>>9664622
I hate absolutely everything about this girl jc, ban this thot out of brand, and just out of Japan in general, I hate seeing bimbos like her in such a country

This is so disappointing with KE. I used to like her bc of her sweet house and diy thing. I really appreciated that but after watching a bunch of her videos previously and now this.... she's normie you guys. This is the flag. Tries so hard to be a weeb to be relevant all like: My otaku street cred is I watched sailor moon and played ff7 when I was a kid. I'm such an anime nerd I'm just like you, but I'm hot and christian ok nbd! I have anxiety just like you! I'm so antisocial, lets do a video about how much I want to leave parties!!! It just comes off like she's clickbait trend hopping now and upset if the spotlight isnt on her. She's so not self aware, she's obviously just going for popularity like a typical plastic cali girl to stir this drama. I'm sure she's a nice person but she's out of touch and wow that was actually so rude. These kinds of videos aren't flattering or kawaii to put out online.

So she'll spend like $100 on shitty fandom sephiroth trinket perfume but $1500 is too much for an meticulously made ott dress straight from AP? Seriously gtfo, if you can't tell the difference between $100 and $1000 dress quality wise immediately. Her art sucks too cause she has no eye for fine details. Anyway, a full decent brand buzzworthy coord with accesories will ultimately cost that range plus the travel/event tickets. Clearly lolita is not for her, it really takes sacrifice to acquire. You all should know what I mean. She should've just rolled with it and kept it and chalk it up to fate.

Hopefully she is a decent person and eventually realizes why its insensitive if she cares about "feelings" so much. Its overall sad I feel like she has the aesthetic. I'd have loved to see how she'd pair her IC's with diff lolita prints... but lets be real. She'd probably just refuse to wear a blouse in the end to make it sexy with the fake boos

>>9664705
"Hey chokelate are you still a scammer?"

>>9664731
''If I order this wig, will it get to x place before Halloween?'' idiot

>>9664637

Someone in the care thread said to take it to a dry-cleaners, but also make sure they use hydrocarbons and not PCE solvents when they dry-clean it.

>>9664622
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAYEBrIPc08
>keeps calling everything kawaii
Why can't we have nice things?

>>9664739
But I want to know whether she still scams. Her big thing was not getting stuff shipped for months afterwards, it's one thing for her to tell me it'll get shipped, it's another thing if people say 'yeah she still scams, dont trust her'. There's a reason I'm asking cgl and not her. Idiot.

>>9664622
her breasts look so ridiculous in lolita. are they fake?
this video is cringe-y. just the way she moves and the way you can see her tattoos through the blouses/socks... I don't know. ugh.

>>9664760
Unfortunately they are, the type of person who gets implants should never touch lolita or any form of kawaii jfash desu

>>9664622
I used to like her because of her DIYs and her super cute house, now I'm slowly starting to dislike her more and more. She's becoming more and more like some airhead bimbo trying hard to stay relevant,htus,hopping onto the kawaiidesoo trend.
And it's no wonder she can't fit into anything lolita given her cow hudders implants.

Also I hate that people like her kinda ruined sailor moon (all the wannabes pretending to "loooove it" when they maybe never even watched it or just a handful of eps. Or they flat out lie about having watched it as a kid).

>>9664754
why would she change? she's been a scammer for years, haven't heard anything differently.

>>9661794
>>9663993
>>9664622
Someone please make a lolcow thread about her

>>9664644
That bow triggers me so bad, at least tie it properly

>>9664769
that kinda makes me sad. :( I mean, it's not my body, so whatever, but they look ridiculous on her. why would you get huge implants THEN decide to start getting into a fashion where huge breasts are a limiting factor? the princess shirring jsk looks super bad on her. I've seen fat lolitas look better in it because they are bigger overall instead of just HUGE in the bust and average-ish elsewhere.

Oh well. She can wear what she wants, it just confuses me.

>>9664807
She's an alternative/tattoo model, the implants don't look too out of place there and they're okayish in her personal style. Quite out of place in jfash though.

>>9664637
I put mine (Lav OP) in the washing machine on cold gentle cycle and it was just fine.

>>9664637
>>9664842
It's best to gently spot clean or dry clean. It may be "fine" in the washing machine, but the flocking will not hold up to that abuse over time.

>>9664760
They are. She admitted it in the video when she returned her dress to AP. She said she was unsure if she should buy it in the first place because dresses without shirring are hit and miss on her due to her silicone.

Does AP announce when they ship out MTOs?

>mfw holy lantern is delayed to mid-october
>at least it should arrive before my birthday..?
>birthday passes, no updates, now questionable delivery before Halloween
>okay.jpg

>>9664943
I heard there is a manufacturer delay. Holy Lantern will most likely ship after Halloween at this point.

>>9664807
The girl has fucking full sleeve and leg tattoos of random saints (?) and hair dyed in the trashiest shade of oink with roots on full display. Do you think she has any sense of coherent fashion pairing ability? Not to mention she makes money off her YouTube and is too fucking lazy to do things like remove leggings before putting socks on. Like Jesus fucking Christ, would it kill her to actually out effort into her shit? Everything she put on looked terrible, not only because she has implants that make everything she wears looks like it was made for a toddler, but because she has silly fucking clothing combinations and instaho makeup that are jarringly mismatching the look of everything she puts on.
>This is so kawaii, watch me wear it with black leggings, no blouse, and my fucking nun sucking a dick tattoo on full display
>Also look at me lift my dress and prance my legs around because lol I'm so random xD bet you didn't expect that *raises spork*

>>9664622
I don't get what Kelly is aiming for right now. She was known for a very pastel aesthetic, she had really nice soft pink hair, but the neon pink hair doesn't really work with any of the clothes she got in Japan.

>>9664986

>>9661794
Watching this, I was disgusted from a western customer service perspective. "You are not turning me away" bitch? If I had to deal with you at my store you would not be getting your money back.

>>9664812
Implying that Disney copies her...

>>9661706
Idk, where I'm from the idea with OTKs is that the only reason you're wearing them is to protect your knees/ you're on your knees a lot.

>>9664943
I got this email yesterday, it is indeed a manufacturer delay.

scarfingscarves isnt dead apparently

>>9664968

You guys at least watched these with adblock/youtube ad blocker so that she doesn't get any money from your hate-watching, right? If you want her out of the fashion you gotta make it undesirable for her, not give her money by the buckets.

>>9664622
lol she probably tried on the $1,500 dress she bought and it didn't fit which is why she flipped out. Jesus those cardigans are suffering.

>>9664622
>It's kind of like a vegan leather

Cheap pleather, with that chemical smell, awesome.

And you guys aren't kidding about her boobs, She's not fat, but she's bordering on chubby, and her bazongas just outsize her for most J-fash that isn't jersey, terry cloth, or oversized. The lilac AP OTKs barely fit, how tall is she?

The wrists cuffs don't work with her tattoos at all.

>It's vegan

She keeps repeating that. It's plastic, and for all that it's nice to animals, it's absolute shit for the environment so that kind of balances the kindness out. How old is she? Because plastic and pleather accessories don't look cute when you look old enough to afford better quality. Fuck, she makes me sound like Tiffy.

But do her boobs ever make her look frumpy in those cut sews and blouses. In the goth outfit her boobs make her look fat. Don't bimbo up, gulls. One thing I got from this vid is that my 32B bust self is going to fit most j-fash just fine.

I got the email to, but how do I reply? Just send the info they requested and reply to the email sent? Sorry if it seems obvious, I just really want to make sure I get in on the reservation.

Like that other anon said, on the gentle cycle, but turn it inside out and put it folded into a net that isn't too large. That's to get the BO from wearing it out, but if there are any stains, try tackling them gently with a microfiber cloth and mild detergent solution before washing.

My favorite way to clean stuff that I don't want to put in the washing machine too often is steaming. It works for wool, silk, and velvet, never had problems. And while I'm not sure this is kosher and am worried I'm going to end up ruining my steamer, I sometimes put a drop of lavender oil in the steamer's water to make sure everything I steam gets a fresh scent.

The one great thing for people with body issues in Lolita is that if you've always had complexes about your smol bust, you can make it here! Trying to look like a blow up doll and trying to look decent in Lolita are sort of mutually exclusive.

>trashiest shade of oink
No lies detected. Combined with the roots it's so jarring when she wears pastels.

>my fucking nun sucking a dick tattoo on full display
No shit Sanrio won't sponsor her.

There's having fun, and then there's "future employers will think twice after finding your online profile"

>>9665030
It's shooped to hell, but that hair color, and minus porn star boobs, she'd have looked just fine if she had any sense of style.

>>9665104
yay shes not dead

>>9664622
Her lifting up her skirt to show her bloomers and jumping up and down... how trashy. I'm not one of those people who thinks lolitas should be 100% prim and proper and not smoke/swear etc. but she's unbelievably cringe and just comes off as straight up white trash bimbo. She should stick to sailor moon eyeliners and hello kitty collabs with forever 21 if she wants to be 'kawaii'. Lolita is just not for her, especially if she can't even read a pricetag.

And you need to do this by Sunday so be quick!

>>9665039
They've been having manufacturing delays a lot this year

Is Kawaii.international even doing something with the Kawaii leaders after they won? I know they will do 1 or 2 small reports in the show afterwards, but they are always searching for people with a lot of followers, however I have never seen that the winners do any kind of promotion for Kawaii.i afterwards (not to mention that they are currently searching for a new round of leaders AGAIN)

>>9664026
I recommend Little Dipper's underskirts. Great for minimal poof on their own and great for layering over longer A-line pettis. The weight of the fabric de-poofs the petti a bit.

>>9665104
she looks like a dumpster fire here... glad she's okay though

Does anyone have those reference images on how to cut triangle shaped fringe / hime cut

>>9665402
I didnt save it but I cut mine with it. Always getting compliments on it - definitely use it. The main thing is not cutting too much, though. Start small. You can always cut more but you cant undo your cuts!

>>9665114
Gross you call it mensies? Are you like 83?

>>9665065
Disappointing.

>>9665178
Oh thank you. I use laundry bags for all my dresses and turn them inside out if they have a print or not. So good to know! And I steam my dresses but just to get the wrinkles out - they kind of look more new when I do this too.

>>9664622
That fully shirred dress makes her boobs look really saggy
also I agree with >>9664760
she should not wear see through fabrics with tattoos, it just looks wrong

>>9665402
Hey anon! Here you go. I had to make a copy of the original to make it work. I also used this when I had my hair cut. Really useful.

>>9665857
That doc is useful, but that font is terrible to read.

>>9665863
Sorry fampai, I didn't make it! I'm willing to make an easier to read version if you want. I'm not busy.

>>9666002
Its not your fault it's difficult to read, thank you for uploading it!

Does anyone here have any pieces from the casual brand Secret Magic? What is the quality like? Is it better or worse than axes femme? It seems to be in better taste.

>>9665531
Why do YOU even keep posting? Your comments are not funny or valuable in any way. You aren't even a good troll.

New thread! >>9666065

>>9661706
It's such a cute style too. I just wish it was worn more often. It seemed like it was making a slight comeback in 2013-2014, but it looks like it died off again.

>>9662560
I only try the lace front from coscraft, the fiber is petty nice and if you live in europe the shipping is pretty fast

>>9663003
anon is really just fat/with huge calves. My calves look like a fucking soccer players and im able to get them over my knee and find they work way better than most OTKs. However the shop girl claimed they would stay up all day which i do not find true

water soluble glue. apply a few dabs around your leg and stick the sock to it. It washes out no problem. if you get sweaty it can dissolve tho
