Bump

I wished I could find more scans of this super old mook.

>>9815003
Is that Gosu-rori?

>>9816042
No, it's Tezukuri (or Tezukarin?, sorry I suck at translating) Gothic & Lolita from 2003.
It predates Gosurori (first issue GS = 2004).
I actually own it, but I like having scans on my computer to make idea collages for my projects.
Unfortunately my scanner is broken so I can't scan them myself.

What would be a good fabric choice for an apron? I've never made something like that before so I'm a bit unsure.

>>9816773
A light cotton is usually a good pick, linen if you want it to look more historical than maid

>>9816773
Cotton poplin works. Lawn and voile are nice if you want lighter see through look and pin tucks (like in the picture). Broadcloth for heavier old school look.

Does anyone have the link to download the Otome no Sewing scans? Someone shared the link in the previous thread, however I forgot to bookmark it.

>>9817084
Here you are https://mega.nz/#!9PxW1IAC!W3O1fHqCC35kMI9PDV5w21C_iPDIOZEXgGlPXcrtn-U

Sage for not really contributing but started sewing again partially because of you gulls! I forgot how much fun it is. Anyone have any projects they're working on now? I'll be starting out with altering some clothes I already have before getting into any big projects.

>>9817102
Thanks, anon!

>>9815003
>>9817084

Found a FB page that has all 16 volumes of Goth-Loli and all the current Otome no Sewing scans up. Just check the photo albums.

I'm working on a commission for a fellow comm member. She requested a headdress and I'm excited to get started on it this weekend. I'm just disappointed my favorite fabric store isn't open yet after an ownership change so I have to make do with other materials.

I'm kinda nervous, this is my first commission. I've only ever made things for myself or as gifts so no real pressure.

>>9816800
>>9816844
thanks anons! Pintucks are exactly what I was thinking for the upper part, that's perfect.

So I bought L496 and really enjoy it, but the front gapes too much. I have a wide rib cage and chest but my bosom is small / average so I do like that it is wider in the back... But is there a way I can alter the front panels to be a bit more fitted? The shirring is on the side panels with the front and back being flat, un-shirred princess seams. There is a zipper running along the back and it's made of a very thin wale corduroy.

I’m so stoked on how this came out. I took apart an old dress I used to wear back in middle/high school to church for the main fabric. I still need to fix up the back a little bit and add waist ties, but on its test run, it did really well!

What's the best fastening to add a detachable veil to a rectangle headdress? Does anyone own a rectangle headdress with a detachable veil? Would you be willing to take a photograph of the fastenings?

>>9819138

This is so pretty! Congrats!

>>9819299

I would use snaps. Easy to hand sew in and are small enough not to bother you while wearing it.

If you're not good with hand sewing, you could always just use safety pins to hold it in place.

>>9819055
I'm guessing the bodice isn't lined?
I would put it on inside out and pin it along the princess seams until the fit was right and then sew along those lines, zigzag/overlock and trim off the excess. You might need to take the buttons off, adjust bodice and then sew them back on closer together because the front panel is smaller. A good opportunity as one is missing to just put 3 pairs back?
If it is lined you'll have to unpick that first too and adjust it to match before reattaching.

>>9819138
Knowing now that you used fabric from an existing dress makes a lot more sense, this was a good result but my biggest issue is the drape of the skirt. When you're able to on the next project, I'd suggest using a lot more fabric so that it falls more like a lolita piece.

Does this count if I try to make plushies and dress them up in cute tiny dresses?

>>9819507
Yeah, I added a panel of contrasting green fabric in the back to add more fullness, but I wasn’t 100% happy with the drape either. I bought some fabric a while back that I’ve been excited to dig into for my next project though, and for this one, I definitely have enough for a properly full skirt (I’m considering doing a contrasting bodice, but I bought enough to make it all out of the same fabric if I needed to.)

Do you think a pleated style jsk would work with this fabric?

I've bid on a lot for some things and it comes with this kinda unflattering bolero in red, if I win it how would y'all suggest I tackle it? I'm thinking lose the flounces and the bow for certain, but I'm not sure past that. (honestly, I'm not much for wearing red, should I just not touch it and hope it resells? it is Bodyline so I doubt it'd *lose* value from being modified...)

>>9819559
Yes if the dresses are lolita

>>9819586

I mean, if you don't even like this style and you don't like the colour, the right question to ask isn't how you fix it, it's whether you actually want to sink time and money into creating something that you still don't particularly want to wear.

Maybe try putting it with your wardrobe and see how you feel. The colour's kinda bright imo, so at least check if it even goes with anything in your wardrobe, or if it's something you'll end up buying a new dress for just to wear with this. If you're feeling like you need to do a lot of work for it, better to just let someone else who does like the colour have it.

As for actual mod suggestions, removing the sleeve flounce and neck ribbon is a good start. You're going to want to put the tulle lace back though, the eyelet lace on the sleeves would look a little skimpy without it. Maybe take cues from the dress you'd wear it with to see what else you should change. Personally I'd remove the entire collar and put in some lace and a neck facing instead, but that's because it wouldn't work well with a lot of my dresses.

Has anyone made a bonnet similar to Victorian Maiden's Classical Lace Doll Hat? I absolutely adore the shape of this bonnet; it reminds me of a late 1850's spoon bonnet. Does anyone own this bonnet? I'd love to learn the measurements so that I can draft my own pattern. Unfortunately Lolibrary doesn't list all of the measurements.

>>9822178
go watch some angela clayton on hat construction and change it to suit your needs. youre going to have to guess the size but you can cut out paper and try it first to see if you like the size on you

>>9822244
Thanks for the suggestion, anon. I've already made several hats and bonnets, therefore her tutorials aren't really relevant. I'm just curious to see whether anyone else has done a similar project.

>>9822306
if youve already made several why would you need help drafting this one lol

>>9822576

Clearly you can't read. She never said she needed help with drafting. She was asking for measurements so she could draft it herself.

>>9819572
That fabric is fantastic.

>>9822612
Thank you! I also got this one too and I don’t know which I like more.

Here's what I'm working on right now. OP with pintucked yoke. I will probably take some of the fullness of the ruffle out, after having stared at the photo for a while.

>>9822582
if shes made several bonnets she can easily figure this out for herself. unless shes retarded or something.

>>9822582
>>9824362
Drafting up four or five bonnets and using a bunch of paper/material to figure out a specific design is one thing. Asking if someone can help to shortcut the process is another.
Do measurements and numbers trigger you anon? Are you so poor that seeing a VM bonnet makes you jealous and bitter? Stop acting like she's asking you to cut up a bonnet for her sake.

>>9822178
I own this, what measurements do you need?

>>9824411
Thank you, anon! I'd really appreciate it. I drew a (terrible) drawing of the measurements I would like. If you have the time, please could you take the measurements of the front and back brim, the upper and lower side of the crown, and the diameter of the crown and the total brim circumference? Could you also take the measurements of the upper and lower band that connect the brim and the crown, and it's total circumference?

>>9822576
>>9824362
I'm sorry that I seem to have offended you, anon. As the previous anons have mentioned, I would simply like to learn the measurements of the VM bonnet to speed up the process of drafting the pattern. Whilst I may not find the tutorials you suggested helpful, I'm sure someone else would.

>>9824362
Calls someone else retarded but you're the one without any reading comprehension or the ability to understand that not all bonnets are the same.

Why are you even in a handmade thread? You sound like someone who's never made anything before.

>>9824411
>>9824553
Different anon here also interested in the measurements, would you mind measuring the diameter of the crown across the shortest length of the oval as well as the longest please? Thank you so much, you're being really kind and it's very much appreciated!

>>9824711
Is it not circular?

>white girls in lolita style
kek. Give up.

>>9824716
Oh yes, you're right. Sorry!

>>9824553
>>9824711
Thanks for the picture, it’s really helpful. I‘ll measure it as soon as I get home from work tonight!

>>9824180
I definitely agree with taking the fullness out - it'll suit the bodice better as it'll sit nice and flat.

Is there any way to make fabric with a decorative border work with an A-line princess seamed dress pattern or am
I better off changing my plans?

>>9825545
You could make the skirt tiered so that the portion of the skirt that connects to the bodice is A-line, but the bottom is a gathered rectangle. Vanilla-chans tiers are actually both gathered/pleated, but you get the general idea of what I mean.

>>9825567
I was hoping to keep the gradient (? sorry esl) of the fabric and border intact, but this is probably the least awkward option. Thanks, anon!

>>9824393
>calling someone poor/jelly while this bitch over here doesnt even want to buy her own bonnet

you sad

>>9825545
Change your plans. Keep the princess seams in the bodice, but box pleat or gather the skirt to the waist seam

>>9824553
I'm sorry for the late reply, here are my(amateur-ish) measurements...I hope they are helpful!

brim circumfence: 97cm
brim front: 13cm
brim back: 4cm
upper side crown: 5cm
lower side crown: 3cm
crown diameter: 14cm
band front: 3cm
band back: 1,5cm
band circumfence: 60cm

>>9826095
Aah, you are amazing, anon! Thank you so much!

>>9826095
Thank you so much, anon! I really appreciate your help.

>>9824711
Good luck with your project, anon!

>>9826098
>>9826240
No problem at all! Please post pictures when your bonnets are done, I'd love to see them!

Has anyone successfully recreated a brand piece before? Whether it being a piece you already owned and copied or a piece you were inspired by. Mostly in construction I mean, not necessarily the fabric/design choice. Pic related is something I'd like to try and adapt since it seems relatively simple in construction.

>>9830929
I'm sort of doing this right now! Sort of imitating VM Classical Doll, but I wanted a Peter pan collar. WIP, obviously.

>>9831197
horrid, jesus fuck

>>9831228
Don't be rude, fatties don't fit in real VM, so they make their own. Support her.

>>9831228
>>9831247
Wow, you're both awful people. Congrats on finding each other.

>>9831621
Nayrt, but there is nothing good about this. It’s poorly sewn and it doesn’t suit her body type at all.

>>9831631
As a wip, I think it's a good start

>>9831631
Right i think as a project that's actively being fixed she's doing pretty well and has the potential to finish it really prettily.

>>9831631
It probably at least partially looks funny because it's not zippered, I just roughly pinned it in the back. It fits and looks fine now, I just haven't taken a photo in a while. I promise the sewing is fine, nothing has been pressed, trimmed, clipped or graded. I hadn't adjusted any of the princess seams yet. It was literally a fit photo. Y'all need to slow your roll.

>>9831652
People that's have never sewn in their life come into this thread sometimes but I wouldn't worry it looks great so far, especially the collar detailing

>>9831952

Before the obligatory Fatty-chan comments, yes, I'm enormous. No, I can't wear most brand without it looking awful/just not fitting right. So I make my own stuff. This one looks done, but I feel like I could spruce it up a bit. Suggestions?

>>9831247
she should be on /fit/ and not /cgl/ if she's too fat to fit into normal clothes

>>9831962
I'm not a fan of the trim on the hem. Scalloped lace would be more suited. What's going on in the back? Just shirring? Do you fabric to make matching accessories?

>>9831977
That last sentence should be
>Do you have extra fabric to make matching accessories?

>>9831952
>>9831962
I think it’s a tad too long (though this may be a conscious style choice) and agree with the other anon’s comment on the trim. Also the shoulder straps look like they’re a bit too close to the center, though that may be due to the angle of the photo.

The fabric is cute and it seems to fit you well! I prefer simple main pieces for daily wear so imo it doesn’t really need to be spruced up, though as anon said matching accessories could be cute.

>>9831197
Anon, this looks fine just ignore the salty bishes.

>>9831952

This actually isn't too bad, but it does have some problems:

- seconding the shoulder straps are too close together. If you have a princess-seam blouse or dress lying around (where the seams start at the shoulders, not the underarm area), the shoulder straps should roughly be in the same place as the princess seams.

- thirding the hem lace is a really bad choice. If you removed the lace, I think the dress would actually improve. If you really need to add something down there, I'd do a ruffle instead of attaching the lace flat.

- I love that you matched the print on the bodice, but wish you'd taken the same care attaching the skirt. The print makes it really obvious that the line of castles is uneven around your waist.

>>9831652
>>9831197

My unfinished WIPs also look this wrinkled and saggy before I finish their seams. I think this is pretty good and I dig the colour you chose. Hope you post the dress once you're finished with it.

>>9831977
>>9832017

I'm on board with changing the lace. It's bad quality and I knew that putting it on, so shame on me. I'm broad chested with "huge tracts of land" so that may be affecting how the straps look on me. If you saw it from the front it might l9ok better. There is a small amount of shirring In the back and under the arms (my later pieces have fully shirred backs--this is an earlier work). The prospect of re-doing the waist makes me sad. Maybe I can get away with a few tucks here and there.

I have another JSK that's going to be a total tear-down/re-do, and I'm trying to avoid that with this one.

>>9832250
Nayrt but I can see your bra straps; generally dress straps cover those. I also agree that the uneven castles are really obvious and the hem lace is fugly.

>>9831197
I'm a little worried by your hem. You look like you drafted each piece with a straight across hem rather than a curve and there's something going on with the right front panel. Imo that's something that's quite hard to fix just by eyeballing and would have been better served by better drafting initially.

>>9832250
>that might be affecting how the straps look on me
You’re going to be the one wearing the dress, so how the straps look on you is important. This is something I see really often with big-busted girls sewing JSKs, I guess they take a pattern meant for a different body type and partially alter it to make it fit but don’t take into account that other things change as well, like where the straps sit on your body. Other anon is right, they ought to sit where your bra straps do. The only time straps should be this close to your neck is if they’re halter straps, in which case they’d still attach much closer to your armpit.

>>9825545
Late reply, but I used the silhouette of this Mary Magdalene dress as inspiration recently to solve this same problem. It's called Caramélisée if you want to look up more photos!

Has anyone ever done knit bloomers? Not knitted but like jersey, French terry, etc. I think it would be more comfortable than woven.

>>9832363

Yeah, we do that (even finding a pattern is a challenge). Moving the straps is NBD. Fixing the waist is a bigger deal. Yes, I have fabric to make accessories (I was planning on a bowler hat and lace gloves). Thanks for all of the feedback--I was nervous about posting anything to 4chan. Rumors of the negativity in this forum have been greatly exaggerated.

Does anyone have a tutorial or pattern for waist ties? I bought a jsk that ended up coming without them and it's baggy on my waist without ties.

>>9832521
Honestly the negativity is great. As long as you harden the fuck up and read through the comments, you can get some of the realist criticism here

Where can I buy good quality satin ribbon online?

>>9831952
What stresses me here is the fabric that you used, it's the exact same as my bed sheets

So I’ve noticed that the hem circumference in OnS patterns is usually a little over 200cm, but I’ve always been told that a lolita skirts need at least a 250cm or ideally 300cm hem circumference. All my brand main pieces are >250cm. So when you make something from OnS do you draft your own wider skirt or do you go with the narrower one in the pattern? With rectangle skirts it’s pretty simple but I’m currently looking at an A-line skirt and the thought of re-drafting all the pieces to add a whopping 100cm to the hem is putting a damper on my motivation. I just want to sew, dangit.

>>9832887
I really like the ribbons I got from laces.taobao.com but I don’t know if it’s worth it to do a taobao order just for ribbons.

>>9832887

>satin ribbon

I’d avoid satin entirely. Even the high-quality, expensive double-sided satin ribbon tends to get mistaken for the cheap, one-sided disposable giftwrap satin ribbon way too easily.

I get most of my ribbons from taobao as well. I think some SS can send it with small packet or SAL, although generally I do a spree buying some other things as well.


>>9834451


In the same boat, anon. The last time I made an A-line dress from the older gosurori it looked like dead lettuce with a flatter petti, or it looked weirdly underwhelming if I used a bigger petti. I really want to sew an A-line dress, but I’m lazy to modify the pattern to get a bigger skirt.

The other dresses are much better, mostly because a lot of them are done with rather plain, toned down designs. If you use a flatter, daily poof petticoat with them they still look totally fine. There's just something about the A-line jsk that looks kinda off with lower poof.

>>9832887
Basically what>>9834468 said. If you can justify the expense, I would suggest silk ribbon. It has the same handle of satin but isn't as obnoxiously shiny. However it is expensive in comparison to grosgrain and satin.

>>9832887
It's really worth it to find somewhere local that sells it. Especially if you can get silk ribbon instead of satin. You can usually buy it by the yard so it's cheaper for you and you can compare colors.

>>9832887
Mokuba ribbons are usually a good bet, you can find them on rakuten by searching 木馬 リボン.

>>9834598
>>9834623
You do realise that silk is a material and satin is a type of weave right? And silk satin ribbon is probably the most common of silk ribbons.

>>9834656
Yes, I'm assuming that anon was referring to artificial (e.g. polyester)satin ribbon. Whereas I was referring to pure silk ribbon (e.g. taffeta), which doesn't have the same type of sheen that artificial satin has.

>>9832556

(for 1 tie, seam allowance not included)

cut a rectangle of about 80-100cm long (depending on your size) and about 10-20cm wide (this is for folding on the long end, but you can half the measurements if you want to sew them as 2 separate layers). you can cut one end diagonally, round or just leave them square.

next you need a rectangle (to fold) or 2x a square for the ends. make them big enough to support a buttonhole. I think 4x4 cm (2x square) or 4x8cm (for a rectangle) will do. don't forget to use interfacing to keep the buttonhole from stretching.

now sew the tie closed (longer sides and the end that you may or may not have shaped) and pleat the non-sewn side so it fits the square/rectangle piece (don't count the seam allowance). attach the tie to the square/rectangle, sew everything closed and sew a buttonhole.

>>9834623
There really isn't anywhere to get good apparel fabric and trims where I live, just Joann.
>>9834656
Thanks! This was very helpful. I really don't care if it's poly or silk as long as it looks nice.

>>9834826
>There really isn't anywhere to get good apparel fabric and trims where I live, just Joann.
I've seen so many people say this in my area, yet it's not true at all. You might have to drive a bit, but if you have Jo-Ann Fabrics, then you certainly have local fabric stores. Really it's worth the effort for color matching and buying by the yard.

Otherwise try M&J Trimming for online.

>>9830929
I made a BtSSB-style heart apron. I would have liked to change it up more from the original, but I'm not much of a designer.

>>9832887
The cotton satin ribbon from this site is very nice, not too shiny.
https://ribbonandtrimming.com/collections/sic-147

>>9834974
That is super cute anon.
Did you use a pattern from otome no sewing for this?
I've been thinking of making a bxw version in velveteen and torchon lace for myself, it's just too cute not to have!

>>9834974
This is so cute, anon!

>>9835142
>>9835068
Thank you! I own another apron by BtSSB, so I just measured it and drafted my own pattern based on that. A velveteen version would be adorable.

>>9832447
I made some with leftover fabric I bought to make a t-shirt, they're pretty comfy

>>9830929
How do people think of it? Would it be considered a replica or like “inspired”?

>>9839969

I guess if you're copying a brand known for smaller sizes like anon above, you'd end up getting snide remarks on your weight. imo anyone yelling about weight is easy enough to ignore since it's a regular troll topic on cgl in particular, but I guess different people have different tolerance for being called fat/told to eat a sandwich.

Other than that, as long as you aren't profiting off copying brands it should be fine. Girls have copied brand dresses for ages, but what's the point in making an exact replica of a dress when you can just buy it? So a lot of girls end up personalizing the dress with their own preferred fabric or trim or whatever.

A sore point for many girls is that a few lolita brands are dying/have died recently, so I'd say try to stay away from anything that can be misconstrued as encouraging people not to buy from brands. Definitely no bragging that your stuff is better than brand or any dumb behaviour of that sort, bragging like that is practically requesting other people take apart your work to point out all the places where you're inferior.

Does anyone have a good pattern for a hat like this? I know it should be easy but for some reason I can't get the dimensions right

>>9840352

There's this hat in otome no sewing 3, but I'm not sure where to find scans.

I have a question someone might be able to answer in this thread.

I have a sack dress from Emily Temple Cute that I want to make into a skirt to be more flattering.
Would this be a complicated thing to do? Is it possible to find a lolita seamstress to do it?

>>9839969
A replica is trying to be exactly like brand down to mimicking the brand labels. If you're making it for yourself and you're not telling people it's X brand, then I don't see the problem.

Hopefully this is an appropriate thread, I need to lengthen the straps on an old BBTSB JSK, pic related, and I'm stumped. Should I just make new straps entirely?

>>9840818
I'm sure it would be doable, you would have enough material. Ask around in your comm and see if anyone you trust would be willing to do an alteration, or go to a Tailor?

>>9841415
Pic related, I don't want to run into this issue

>>9834974
pattern please, I've been wanting to make one for aaaages~! Yours looks amazing. I'm so inspired, thanks anon!!!

>>9840352
>>9840814
I can upload OnS scans, let me know if that pattern anon referenced works for you.

>>9840814
Anon, just read the fucking thread.
Link in >>9817102 contains OnS 1-7 without the fourth one.

>>9841415
Do you want to keep the buttons, or would it be okay to sew the straps in place? If so you can just undo the buttons and sew the bottom part of the strap to the top of the bodice, using the part that currently overlaps as extra length. You could cover up the button holes with something like black lace roses that match the lace on the bodice.

>>9841957

Why would I bother looking at that link, I have the physical copy. At least direct your reply to the anon actually looking for a hat pattern.

>>9840352

The hat in >>9840814 is included in thescans in the link in >>9817102

>>9841979
My bad, you never specified that you had the books.

>>9816046
Take photos with your phone. They’re better. Scanners use turd quality cameras.

Does anyone have any advice or patterns on how to sew a headbow similar to the Dolly Cat headbow or pic related?

I'm a novice, but I'm assuming for the long tails of the bow, you would just sew two long rectangles together, flip them inside out, and handstitch the folds/cascades a bit to get them lay flat over each other. Or is there a better/different way?

>>9841540
yes please, that would be super helpful! Does the book recommend using buckram + millinery wire, or does it have a diff technique?

>>9842240
Wtf is with you anon. Can't you read?
>>9841979
>>9817102

>>9842100
You're going to want to use interfacing, mid to heavy weight, on one side of the fabric. You might want to use paper or cheap fabric to experiment to get the sizes of things right.

>>9842100
Speaking from experience taking apart an AP bow:
Bow:
Make a long rectangle, fold it in half lengthwise and sew it closed lengthwise. Turn that right side out. Press. Fold into thirds and sew the center point for the bow.
Tails:
Cut another long rectangle. Fold in half lengthwise and sew it closed all the way around leaving a gap in the center. Clip corners and turn right side out. Press.
Assembly:
Make a smaller rectangle and press the sides in towards the center. This will be the very center of the bow. Sew bow and tail pieces together (this will help with positioning the center wrap). Now wrap it around your bow and tail pieces. Sew it closed. Now you can sew the cascading tails and attach it to a band.

>>9842288
>>9842294
Thank you anons, this was really helpful! I appreciate it

What is this type of cross-cross lace called? Trying to sew a doll-sized replica of my coord and want it to be as close to the original as possible.

>>9813732
I'm sorry for invading your thread like this, but I can not find a single other sewing thread on 4chan, nor a stupid question thread related to sewing or fashion. I just wanted to ask if anyone knew where to find templates and guides for male clothes like long jackets etc, as well as where to source canvas and other fabrics from

>>9843343
Sewing patterns you mean? Most fabric stores (Jo-Anns, Fabricland, etc) will carry booklets with patterns.

>>9842713
try looking for double edged or entredeux lace, or maybe lace inserts work too

>>9842713

My oldest needlework book calls this faggoting, it's not lace but an embroidery technique used to join two pieces of fabric.

But if you're looking for lace it's easier to look for it with other keywords like ladder lace, ribbon lace insertion lacec.

>>9843469

Ugh sorry, something weird happened at the end of that post.

Terms to use for searching:
- ladder lace
- ribbon lace insert
- insertion lace

>>9843431
That's what I meant. I'll look into them then. Thanks!

>>9843459
>>9843469
Thank you both so much! Found exactly what I was looking for using these keywords.

Does anyone know of a pattern for a head accessory with bunny ears? I got a great deal on AP Lovely Bunny jsk but it didn't come with the full set and it feels silly coordinating it with anything else.

>>9841530

Alrighty, here's the pattern. 5/8" seam allowance is included in the given measurements.
The shoulder ruffles don't come all the way down to the waistband like the BtSSB version, so you'll have to lengthen them if you prefer that. Feel free to reply here or email me if anything is unclear.

You're amazing.

omg anon. Thank you and bless you.

I'm not a seamstress at all so this is probably a dumb noob question, but what do you call this kind of lace that a lot of pieces feed their lacing through? I just got a JSK with back shirring but it's too big and I want to add this sort of lacing to it, but am not sure what to search or where to start looking. Thanks!

People on a handmade thread wanting to... handmade stuff rather than buy it... This certainly doesn't make any sense and means everybody here is poor.

laces.taobao.com has this kind of lace. They have it listed under "water soluble lace" which I think might be a way of saying chemical lace? Either way https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=536066281606 there you go.
