Compare this oldschool "short skirt hem with bloomers" classic combo with AP's trend towards longer dresses.

[Anonymous No.10042042]

I love these desu, I think they have a natural kei vibe that I see in very old-school lolita like OP. I just wish there wasn't that nasty lace on the bottom.

I remember the longer stuff, but I feel like this is more Gunne Sax inspired than "Lolita but longer".

[Anonymous No.10042077]

>>10042041
I like the longer dresses, because I feel like these can be worn outside lolita more easily, BUT these look like nightgowns to me.
I really liked the thing they did with Otome no Tutu doll though.

Longer dresses are still rare and desu these are ugly. They look like bad gunne sax knockoffs that minanoo would sell. The silhouette of a long dress is genuinely different from pairing a knee length dress with bloomers, so to act like those are the same it’s silly.

I think occasionally longer dresses suit classic and gothic because the silouhette is more mature, the dress design is more toned down, but and usually is acompanied by minimal poof.

I was trying to compare how a lot of Lolitas think the short skirt/visible bloomers look is also not very Lolita like how people are talking about AP's new long dresses. Meaning how going to either extreme creates / brings out a lot of strong opinions within the community.

>>10042077
I agree, I like the skirt hem to "float" somewhere above mid-calf. If it's two long it starts to take on too much of a historical vibe instead of a modern look inspired by history.

>>10042258
Exactly. I hope they pick these dresses it.

Afaik ( I wasn't there), they brought the Lacy Afternoon Series and the matching frill bonnets, Classical Doll and the matching bonnets, Royal Lacy Doll OPs, Rococo Bouquet, both the previous release and the upcoming one and I think matching bonnets for some colourways? Also the handbags they released earlier and the purple underesses sold in Feb this year.

>>10042222
The Rococo Bouquet JSKs were sold as an early release at HJ. They're putting it up online a bit later. What gives me hope that they will remain open is that they mentioned those dresses will be shipped around Feb to March.

i've always wondered -

are cutsews generally very short on the torso just because it's assumed you'll be wearing a skirt high up enough on your waist that it won't matter, or are Japanese girls' torsos just...a lot shorter?

[Anonymous No.10042577]

>>10042571
I think it's assumed your breasts will be very small thus you'll need to lay a certain way.

They're definitely short in order to be worn with skirts that sit at the natural waist, without the need to be tucked in.

Yes, if you search for lolita fashion or look in the lolita fashion tag, you'll find nothing. Supposedly if you include the tag or the name lolita in the description/text of a new post, your post won't appear in search.

>>10042622

[Anonymous No.10042789]

>>10042765
They blocked literally all tags that are or hint at nsfw no matter if you have safe search on or not. A few days ago, they also randomly mass deleted blogs that rightfully tagged their own post as nsfw.
They say it was a mistake but I'm pretty sure they plan to purge every adult content off the site to please the advertisers. Someone on /g/, who said they worked for the staff, called it back in August. Weirdly enough, all of this happened in the same time 4chan split for the same reason.

Both. It's this >>10042590, so the cutsew will definitely be way much shorter than T-shirts or other blouses. Ideally they're just long enough to cover the waistbands on skirts and then stop there.

But additionally their major clientele is Japanese or Chinese lolitas, Western girls just don't spend enough buying firsthand. Japanese and Chinese girls mostly aren't all that tall either, most are below ~160cm, so the cutsews are sized for that height.

AP *is* the reason behind it. Here is the original ballgown release from way back when. The old post on egl shitting on the length of the dress (among other problems) is probably still up one livejournal somewhere. The general consensus seemed to be that it looked too much like a ballgown and not lolita with the skirt actually hitting the floor.

>>10042043

>>10042149 and >>10042077 are ankle length. The middle and left dresses in >>10042041 actually reaches the floor. The dress on the right actually does not, you’re way too careless picking your dresses. We're lolitas after all, we debate the difference between your skirt being two fingers above your knees (ideal) and being halfway up your thighs (trashy), how are people expecting us to completely gloss over the differences between ankle-length dresses and floor-length dresses? Of course it's a huge deal whether a dress is ankle length or floor length. How are you going to debate the importance of quality on a 1-inch strip of lace when you don't even care that one dress is a whopping 10+cm longer than the other and hits your body at difference places?

>>10042077 is even the same model as >>10042041, showing you that the dress being ankle length vs being floor length is intentional and not just the model being short (I feel like if she's simply too short they wouldn't show her full height anyway, so I think it's intentional to show you the dress is really long).

Sorry no photos. I feel like if I posted I would out myself here. I’m only 5.3 which is average (if not on the high end of average) compared to Japanese standards so it’s not like I’m very tall or short compared to the body that most brand is made for. It may be closer to egl/ega, but floor length isn’t new, it’s just not incredibly common.
Also I don’t get why anon above thinks AP is so innovational and groundbreaking, especially because that was an aha collaboration, which most Collins at the time(especially wit AYA’s) were borderline cosplay anyways. Not that it’s bad, but brands, especially AP have all done a lot of weird wacko cosplay collabs before, pic related.

[Anonymous No.10043416]

>>10043404

anon above here. It's not groundbreaking.

Between the Aya dress and the Gone with the Wind cosplay dress floor-length dresses were always complained about. Even Moitie would have anons insisting you prove that it was sold in the lolita and not aristocrat section of the webshop, VM dress would probably get the same treatment as the mermaid skirt (ie-debated and complained about).

Now there's a 180 degree turn with people apparently thinking it's totes normal now. You don't find that odd? I could've made a floor-length lolita dress two years ago and be told "it's not lolita" exactly because it's floor length, but AP makes one now and the reaction is "r u high this is normal lmao".

The person posting ankle-length dresses and then conflating them with floor-length dresses is their own class of "not paying attention", though. That has to do with lack of attention to detail than "groundbreaking".

The Taobao gwtw dress was very much a cosplay, not Lolita. No one is saying it’s normal and happens all the time, people are saying it’s not new and not groundbreaking. Is it going to be trendy now? Maybe. Rectangle headdresses have come back to popularity(in their own way) and even old school/traditional Lolita has made a resurgence. However, again, it isn’t new, and AP isn’t doing anything new or groundbreaking. It’s an updated version of something tried and true, it’s just using the new trendy material like chemical lace, chiffon and tulle (compared to the cotton and pintucks of the past) but the length itself is not new.

I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck,but if i wanna live with my fiancée i need to do it. She's already burning out working 50 hours trying to afford everything so I gotta help her.

How do you cope with being a poorfag/having a long time period where you can't afford lolita, gulls? I'm scared to fall into depression again with all the money related stress we're gonna face as i search for a job and I used to cope with muh anxiety by shopping online.

What brands are you looking at? If it's AP, they've been trending bigger for quite awhile, and has been releasing a lot of sack dresses with massive measurements.

Okay then I will share the secret with you. There is no perfect place to find this exact wig because these have been worn and styled and if you want the exact same thing you have to style it yourself.
Try Bodyline (no lie, get the long twintail wig and a short bob wig and put them together. I've seen a few girls do this), or Arda, or Dreamholic, or epiccosplay, or go down the taobao rabbit hole by figuring out search terms and clicking through listings. You have also given us three different wigs to find for you. Look at them. There is a hime styled wig, a fluffy curls wig, and two twintail wigs. Which one do you want?????? Ugh. Stay in the stupid questions thread.

[Anonymous No.10045186]

>>10045111
Not a problem Anon.

Baby tends to run a bit smaller than AP, and the older the dress the smaller it's likely to be no matter what brand it is, just as another tip. I'm not an AP fan, so one of them could probably give you more fit details. For Baby/Aatp stuff from around 2010 should fit you fine, early 2000s might be small.

Having a few cm of wearing ease is really important, and variable depending on the cut but 5cm is a good estimate (you might find you prefer more or less). As for corset lacing and the like, you can get a few cm smaller with corset lacing and waist ties, but not much more before it looks really strange and bulky in back (trust me). If you're concerned about fit and new, start with a JSK maybe? There's a lot of ways JSKs can be altered and it's much easier than altering an OP.

I paid immediately and heard nothing for a month (start of the pic DM). Still hear nothing, messaged again. Then I got a paypal request to finish paying, which I already did.
I canceled the request and sent and email, no response, then got that message yesterday. Which I think is a total BS, made up reasoning for not having my items shipped. I guess I just got lost in their messed up system of ordering.

Even though I like their designs a LOT, I think they just put too many out too often and that's why more order got lost in all the confusion.

I'm very close in measurements to you, anon (81 bust, 66 waist, 91 hip, 167-168 tall), and when I started I had the same fears of things being too big. But when I bought my first AP dress, it fit just fine, no alterations. Like someone else said, your blouse will actually play a large part in "bulking" you out, on top of your bra (just going to assume you wear one). Corset lacing is your friend and can make things snap more to your body. Waist ties will also help with your waist. But by no means would dresses be falling off of you without these. I even fit into fully shirred JSKs, like Magic Princess, Toy Parade, and Melody Toys. The only problems I've had were with OPs being too large in the chest and waist, so sometimes they look a tad baggy.

The brand I've tried:
- VM: this is the brand I have the most experience with. Good fit, sometimes loose on the waist, sleeves are just long enough. An off-shoulder JSK didn't fit because it was too big (T_T).
- MM: good fit.
- Meta: slightly too big not only on the waist but also on the chest and shoulders. Not too noticeable though.
- Shirley/ETC: perfect fit, almost tight on the shoulders.
- AP: good fit.

- Bodyline: some dresses in M size are too small and a little tight on the chest, other than that good fit.

I "fit" quarter shirred Meta but it looks terrible, the front seams pull while the shirring doesn't lay right (looks lumpy and feels uncomfortable). And then their full shirring dresses don't come far enough around, the shirring is barely visible from the front. Maybe my shoulders are broader than yours or something else about my build is ruining the look. But I always feel very overstuffed when I have shirring stretched too far

It's 45 cm long according to the website. It should be fine, by "huge" I meant poofy af. The only dresses I have it won't fit lengthwise are shorter oldschool pieces so you should be good with the one you just ordered.
>>10046726
I see. Isn't it wild how two people with almost the same measurements can have totally different fit issues? I'm a bit on the broad shouldered side too, so must be something else. Maybe your rib cage is wider? I have a friend who has had struggles fitting certain brand pieces brand due to that even though she's smaller all over than I am.

Nayrt, its length is about 45cm so pretty standard for a petticoat. It's huge in terms of volume. How long is this dress? You might be able to guesstimate the skirt portion by the overall length.

[Anonymous No.10046825]

>>10046821
The size of the dress is 102 cm long. It also seems to come down below the knees, I've heard that the model wearing it is 163cm and I'm only slightly shorter than that. So maybe it's a 40cm bodice and a 60cm skirt? Or maybe around 50 50?

[Anonymous No.10046833]

Been debating buying pic related.
However, I think it's weird is how the JSK is US$162 in the official shop but on LM it's being sold for about US$75 (good condition). I mean, sure second hand is different, but I still think the price difference is pretty big. Does R-series not have good quality or am I overthinking things here, gulls?

[Anonymous No.10046838]

>>10046833
Definitely overthinking. Chinese brands generally sell for a lot less second hand unless its a really coveted piece (KL jellyfish, Nameless Poem back in the 1st release, etc).

[Anonymous No.10046938]

>>10046825
The length will be about 60cm for the skirt, most dresses around the 90cm mark have 50cm length skirts and longer dresses tend to just have the length added in the skirt rather than the bodice (otherwise you would have a very drop waisted dress that fitted oddly)
A 45cm petticoat may be a bit short, maybe look on Taobao at Aurora and Ariel for a longer one - ideally you want your petticoat around 5cm shorter or you'll get drop-off, and too long will show.

Here's a Google translate.
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Victorian maiden. This year, including the first sale at the beginning of the year, at the time of closing the press room, we have developed various projects such as "20th Anniversary Project" commemorating the 20th anniversary of "Closing Sale" Activities We have made a great deal of contributions to everyone I was able to have support and celebrated the end of this year. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the staff. It was a year supported by the warm support of everyone, but this time Victorian maiden had the end of December 2018 and it will be a briefing to end the current brand activity once. Thank you very much for your patronage over 20 years. From the spring of 2019 we are planning to develop a new Victorian maiden, mainly for new products. We have decided to make decisions thanks to the many people who have used this year all year. We will strive to be sincere and sincerely than ever, so we are happy to be with you as soon as we can wait for the next report. Victorian maiden staff Inc.

I just bought my first sweet dress off of Maiden Clothing today!
I am strictly a gothic lolita so this is very out of style for me, but I really love vintage themed prints since I feel like they can be worn in a more mature way that suits my look better.

For those who own Diner Doll in mint, when looking for accessories, should I look for more of a sax color or mint? The color of this one seems kind of in-between so maybe someone who has coorded it can tell me which work better. Also, does anyone have any AP jewelry or OTKs that they can recommend for me to search for second hand that go particularly well with this one? I will be coording this with a white blouse and the JSK came with the headbow, so I'm set there, just need legwear and jewelry ideas.

I have the same height as you. Try to aim for a 68cm waist. It's a realistic goal for that height that you should be able to keep it without starving yourself. A lot of things will never fit you unless you turn into stick mode. But for that you will have to drastically change your lifestyle forever.

Why don't western lolitas have/use twitter? At least the feed is chronological and all the brands are there. + You aren't limited to your own original content in order to stay active. Is is just that "likes" on twitter aren't the same as insta's, thus not working for a quick ego boost?

[Anonymous No.10047197]

In all honesty I hope they don't go the casual route.
I love VM and have bought a lot from them over the years, but I buy it because it's elegant, tailored, and sometimes just so detailed and luxurious. I'm not much into paying $$$ for casual clothes, I'm into paying the big bucks for the really luxurious detailed stuff, and will gladly continue to do so so long as they keep making it.

I've bought stuff from IW White and whereas I like it I'd rather buy from their regular line for the higher quality and detail, too. What I hope VM is talking about would be a new VM where they still make the same kind of stuff they do not but really branch to a new market like Moitie did. New VM with same elegance and quality, but multiple sizes, easier overseas ordering, and more regular releases and branching into new color and design choices would be ideal.
