Very minor horror story but I've broken this ring twice, which sucks because lolita designers love sticking crosses on everything so it's easy to match with. I snagged it and broke it, bought another one, and broke that one a few months later, then they stopped selling it. All my other rings are fine, this one is cursed.

Left my precious AP heart bag hanging on my door hook with the rest of my bags. Didn't realize all the weight of the bags were on the AP bag's strap.
After a month or to I decided to re arrange my bags. when I pulled the heart bag off last, a whole chunk of the pleather on the strap stuck to the hook and came clean off.
It was already peeling slightly before but now its super noticeable.
I'm devastated because it's my favorite bag

I'm probably gonna out myself for telling this story but it's been long enough that I don't think anyone is angry anymore (though I could be wrong lol). For me it's something I look back on and cringe now but I'm not really mad anymore.

A few years ago, I got together with a couple of friends to go shopping. I wore my Milky Berry JSK in white, and coordinated it with mostly white items (blouse, socks, etc). We'd been at the mall for about an hour when one of my friends ran into her very normie sister-in-law who was shopping with her 2(ish)-year-old son...my friend was clearly embarrassed to see her so the rest of us kind of kept our distance and continued shopping nearby. At some point the boy (who obviously wasn't being watched closely) wandered over to us and was super curious about everything in that rough little boy way (like yanking on another girl's usakumya and getting upset when he couldn't play with it). We started leading him back to his mom when something else caught his attention and he started to run the other way, so I quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from getting to far and he started to scream. Now that it was suddenly a big scene, his mom and my friend started walking our way but he was in full tantrum mode by the time they came over and had flopped on the floor, kicking at me and hand managed to yank my petticoat part of the way down in the process. I stepped away to fix it while the others explained what happened and his mom half-heartedly scolded him, and then she picked him up to come over and "apologize to the nice girl". Still sniffling and pouting, he tried to wriggle out of his mom's arms and flopped back like they do...when he suddenly sat up and got super still. (1/2)

>> No.10022864

>>10022860
This sticky little boy then vomited what I later learned was half a bottle of pedialyte and some mac and cheese down the front of my white JSK, and of course with it being Milky Berry this was the point of no return. His mother (and everyone else in the group) was mortified and we made our way to the closest restroom to try and clean up what we could on both him and me...but I was really only concerned with getting the chunks off so I could drive him with a tiny bit of dignity because I knew the JSK was ruined.
After apologizing about 600 times, his mom started insisting that she replace the dress, which I wasn't eager to discourage in the moment...but knowing how she'd gag at the price I tried to tell her that they don't make that dress anymore and finding another one would be too much trouble, etc etc. When she pulled out her checkbook and insisted I tell her the retail price, I finally gave her a hard number and that's when shit got heated. She looked at the dress, looked at my friend, scoffed at all of us, and was suddenly furious that I was "using this as an excuse to scam money" because there's "no way in hell" it would cost that much to dress up like Strawberry Shortcake. My friend tried to pull up a sale post on her phone to show her I wasn't just making up a number but she wanted nothing to do with it, she grabbed her kid and left after telling us we were all disgusting and should be embarrassed for "so many reasons". So, the insult to injury (so to speak) was really the nail in the coffin for me, and by the time I got home I just took the JSK off and threw it in the trash. If I'd been thinking clearly at the time I probably would've tried salvaging some of the material, but it took a long time for me to get over feeling angry every time I saw that print. (2/2)

I'm sure there are probably a lot of stories like this, it's my first time telling this one here though because I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to bring up old shit or embarrass my friend. She's not really into lolita anymore and as far as I know no one active in our old comm knows this story either so I think it's okay.
Milky Berry is a no go on soaking because the red is super bad about running, the area that got vomited on bled a bit and I had another area on that JSK that bled because I dripped a tiny bit of tea on it so as far as I know there was no hope for it.
One thing that really bugs me thinking back on it is that she basically expected us to babysit for her while she talked. She watched him come over to us but didn't care enough to do anything about it, and she really didn't seem to care that much when he started throwing a tantrum either. Like you know he was rarely told no at home and a lot of his behavior was probably chalked up to "well that's just how little boys are!!" which makes me angry (especially since he had been kicking at me too).

I forgot to mention it was a black blouse; I managed to spill on it before I debuted my costume (the outfit I was wearing was more of a costume than a coord desu, I had on sfx makeup and crazy contacts and shit because Halloween) so I covered it up with black india ink to make it look passable. It is a long sleeve blouse, and the cuff and lace where it spilled is now kinda weird and crunchy and a slightly different color from the rest. Honestly I feel like the style is too mature to look good with short sleeves, and it was a little short on me and too tight in the chest (I don't even have big boobs, IW just makes their blouses for tiny flat chested women) so the only thing I'm actually upset about is that I probably won't be able to sell it now because of the damage, I wasn't planning on wearing it again in the first place

I used to have two Excentrique dresses. They were kind of fugly for lolita but really nice for normie wear because they were made out of nice textured fabric, so that's how I still wear one of them to this day.

Once I was running to a work party and wanted to wear the white dress. So I put it on. Then I put shoes on and was running around like a nut trying to get ready. Except then as I'm running, I somehow get my heel (???) caught in the back of the dress. I heard a huge rip, and with that RIP that dress. It was a very soft knitted fabric so it'd look wonky if I tried to sew that seam up. I still sort of regret it to this day. Oh well, at least it was a cheap dress ($10 on Y auctions).

I also have a few holes in the lace of some of my dresses and to this day I have no idea how the hell those holes started. I'm so ashamed, because one of the holes is in an MM dress. I'm low key trying to find a replacement before the hole gets bigger.

I had just bought an old JetJ with thin sewn waist ties. It was second hand and it had some stains, so I was soaking some spots in Oxyclean while the dress was laying on a towel on the floor. When I lifted the dress up to look at it, I accidentally tore a waist tie straight out because I didn't realize I was stepping on part of the waist tie. The force of lifting the dress while simultaneously holding the waist tie down was too much for the old stitching.

I actually hate waist ties and only the stitching ripped but not the fabric so it worked out in the end. I removed the other waist tie and everything was fine. The dress is fine but I still remember the heart dropping feeling of hearing brand tear.

I had a polka dot BTSSB salopette I used to wear casually all the time. Once on the train home after a day of shopping, I was testing out the paint markers I had bought in a little notebook as I was bored and when I opened one, the lid came off completely and bright pink paint spilled all over the dress. The women sitting around me sensed my annoyance for sure as I haphazardly tried to clean it up with a newspaper. I probably would have worn it still, I'm an artist so I frequently get little spots of paint and such on my clothes and I feel it adds character, though this was a pretty noticeable stain it doesn't really matter for casual...and it was a cheap salo...but I let a """"friend"""" borrow it and she's never returned it.

A couple years ago I went to this Japanese culture night at our local art museum. I just got lavender Castle Mirage OP in the mail. So of course I was going to wear that. Later through the night I noticed I got spots of chocolate on my dress. I wasn't sure how long the spots had been there.

I have one of the smaller AP heart bags, and I left it resting on an ottoman by my bedroom wall. Anyway, the heating in our house gets pretty intense when bedroom doors are left shut (and mine was), and I came back to realise that a clear file I had blu-takked to the wall had pretty much slid down from the wall and landed on the bag, which meant that the blutak was resting against it, and in the heat sort of half melted onto the bag. I tried to sort of remove it but it peels the PU off which would be worse(??) I guess.

To be fair, that bag is second hand and fairly oldish now, and the PU has sort of split along the edges even though I was careful with it and only gave it light use.

Fun story.
I was but a wee lass, dumb and naive. Decided to take to the sky in my frills. The transportations of London were delayed, person under train. On my head was a wig with golden curls, upon it my beloved Moitie headbow. The bow was made of gorgeous chiffon and adroned with silver crosses and blue jewels. The stress was numbing and my companions had to rush. At the airport the queues ran long, of with the wig as security was strict. I put the ensamble on again. Tears in my eyes we boarded the plane, the two hour flight was like a hurricane. Once we landed on solid ground again, we visited the porcelain throne, a relief and to wash of the dried tears on my cheeks. I took the bow of my head to release the tension of my tempels. Walked out of the restroom renewed and calm, in the depature hall I realized again, the forgotten headbow. Security was kind enough to let me back in to look and to my horror... Nowhere to be found.

Secondly, that movie is horrendously unfunny. No anon, I'm more of a Hellraiser fan. If I had to compare myself to a cunty character it'd be Julia. Gothic and sly as fuck.

I recently got one of my dream dresses in the black colorway. Since oldschool Baby prints are notorious for running in the wash, I knew I needed to test the waist ties first before just washing the whole dress. So I washed the waist tie, the water was definitely black but the excess dye came out easily and didn't stain the light parts of the print. I figured I was good to go when the dress needed to be washed.

A few weeks go by, I wear it a couple times, and it needs to be washed. I confidently get out my handwashing tub, fill it up with cold water and gentle detergent, and wash away. I assume it is fine.

The next day after the dress is dry, I go to hang it in my wardrobe. THE MOTHERFUCKING PRINT BLED. I don't even know how. I was so careful. I even tested it first for fuck's sake. Now I don't know exactly how to go about fixing it, and its been keeping me up at night. Should I just wash it again and rinse it a million times with some color catcher sheets? Please help kind anons.

My god Anon are you me? I had an old, black Baby print bleed dye like a motherfucker when I tried to wash it, even though the detachable piece I tested on was fine. To the point the water was purple and I legit wondered if the thing had been washed in it's 12 year life.

As long as you haven't done anything to set the dye (heat, vinegar) you should be able to save it. There used to be a post on EGL where a girl cleared out print bleed with baby shampoo, other posts that suggest Dylon color run remover. The info isn't the most up-to-date, but give EGL a search.

Personally what I did was put it under cold running water until the water ran clear-ish, then agitate and soak in cold water and detergent (changing the water when it looked too dark). After the dress could soak without dye leeching into the water I rinsed it out again, then put it through my washer on cold in a delicates bag to get the last of the excess dye out.

nayrt, I've flown in lolita (cutsew OPs ftw, shirred pieces are still also comfy) but when I read >>10025209 she said she had a wig on besides a Moitie headbow and mentions putting her ensemble back on after airport security, like how complicated was her ensemble to begin with? I think that's the point where I noped out.

Like I mean. Yes, lolita is just clothes. Yes, some peeple wear wigs on the regular. Yes, headbows are also just clothes. But doing the whole shebang with public transport and knowing you need to go through airport security. I mean I do cutsew OPs because I can wear a wireless sports bra underneath, and I avoid dresses that look like the buttons might be metal, and here this girl is doing the full wig and whatever else is going on with her ensemble.

I don't know, I think a younger me would have done it, but seriously gals, don't do this. It's stressful enough to fly, especially if you need to rely on public transport being on time. Pick simple clothes so you don't have to worry about dropping bits of accessories in faraway airports that you may never be able to get back to, lolita or not.

I also used pretty generous amounts of detergent hoping that the sulfates would loosen up the color that bled onto the print and as more insurance against the dye setting. Unfortunately since it was an all over print with quite a bit of white space I couldn't really clean individual sections.

I've had a few so prepare to be spooked.

Spilled onions sauce on my first dream dress the first time I wore it, didn't notice until a few hours after we'd left the restaurant. Thankfully it rinsed out after a lot of gentle hand washes but I was mortified and really upset at the time, it was maybe my second or third brand dress ever.

Someone once spilled half a glass of cider down the front of my Wonder Cookie OP. I nearly died. Thankfully that print is really sturdy and it came out of the washing machine like new, no colour run or anything.

This one's the real horror story. I threw a load of hardier brand pieces, an old OP, some socks, a blouse, in a wash with a towel. I'm less careful with a lot of stuff that I know isn't really delicate. Somehow there was a dress wrapped up in the towel, some Jordash/Dark Star green crush velvet thing I was holding onto for Halloween.
It ran. Into everything.
I was so confused when I opened the washing machine because as far as I knew I hadn't put anything else in, but when I saw the culprit I got so pissed off that I immediately threw it in the bin, I was so furious.
The lace on the OP was a green-white, the blouse was pink-green, the socks were now grey-green and black. I washed them and washed them but nothing would work. The dye that ran in just wouldn't come out of anything, at all.

Happy ending, a friend took care of the OP and it's like new again, and the blouse too. The socks are still grim, but I'm holding onto them in the hope that I might find a way to save them. They were the striped bxw otks from the Holy Cross release and they don't seem to pop up often.

A somewhat bizarre one, from years ago. I got a new red velvet JSK (pic related) and wore it with an ivory chiffon blouse.

At the end of the day, the blouse was stained red from the JSK. I knew that colour could run, but this literally transferred while I was wearing it. I guess the sweat from my skin must have made it run? I wasn't even sweating all that much though. I managed to get the dye out after several washes with stain remover, though the blouse is now pretty much white instead of ivory.

I've had the same thing happen with a Surface Spell set. Same material JSK with a chiffon blouse.
After a couple of hours, the blouse was stained around the underarms. I'm guessing it was sweat that caused it to transfer?
I was able to remove the errant colour with Sunlight handwashing soap, the bar kind. I use that laundry bar for all of my stained things, it removes the stain 90% of the time. The other 10%, I take to a drycleaner.

Makes sense, I didn't even think of that, thanks.
