I know we are not EGL (nor am I pining for the olden days) but we also know that the EGL mods got schooled in what to omit to keep the LJ group from posting infringing stuff. So it’s safest to go by that.
Also question: does that mean the Indy designers who mostly use Spoonflower (or some other print on demand services with little to no quota) also have inferior printing methods compared to most brand as well? Has someone written about the differences anywhere?

Where do you get old-school lace from? I don't know the different names of lace but I'm looking for some like this that's on the collar. I'm not US-based so shipping to europe is probably going to be crazy but aliexpress/taobao links would be appreciated since I can do an order from there.

Anon in another thread was complaining that Moitie sizes have been way off. Specifically Neo Gothic Arch, saying it was about 8 larger then the listed size. The advertised size is:

Bust 79~87cm
Waist 63~74cm

Does that mean if I am 92bust and 75waist I should fit because the real measurements are a max of 95b x 82w?

>>10201617
8cm larger? I'm starting to think the measurements they provided are recommended body size and not the flat measurements? I'm sorry but no, it's likely not going to fit you very well if your bust is 92cm. You will need more than 3cm room. A jsk is generally worn with blouse, so 5~6cm or more room is better for a comfortable fit. The OP version is going to fit you very well though.

>>10201617
I'm that anon, and while you might fit it remember that the bodice is extremely short and a larger bust will take up more space in it. So it might look awkward, in one of those "it fits but it doesn't sit right" ways. If I'm honest the JSK is an overall odd design.

>>10201727
I think this was true with their older releases, when they did the 82cm bust/64cm standard, I believe that's also roughly the size of an average Japanese mannequin (or at least it was in the 2000s). So the patterns being made to fit that makes sense. I think this changed over time though, as they got different designers and allowed a very slow size creep. But with NGA I don't think that's true. I'm at the minimum measurements and have to pull the corset lacing in completely, which creates a really ugly back and messes with the way the pleats lie on my butt. It just isn't a flattering look if you're at the low end of the sizing.

I just measured it for you Anon, I hope you see this before you buy. The bust is about 95cm, from the outside and over the cups. The waist is about 82cm give or take, from the outside. I did double check against my own body (figured out how much I laced in the back, then added that to my own measurements, in addition to running the measuring tape around. If anyone is curious the lacing panel is about 25cm wide with about 20cm of that usable, and the bodice is about 20cm long at the center front.) and came up with about the same numbers.

Your waist might be a tight fit, dunno about the bust. I've tried my best to get accurate measurements, but it's a buy at your own risk situation.

Yeah, anon basically explained it. They aren't selling anything I want, but a few days ago someone on mercari listed a lot of cheap moitie with the remark that they want them to go to someone who will wear them (seller is a mother): https://www.mercari.com/jp/u/217190178/
I noticed that one person bought almost all of it and as it turned out it was ebxbexiko once again. If you look at the feedback of the sockpuppet account they use to buy, there isn't a single thing they are currently listing they didn't immediately turned over to scalp. I wonder if they are even a lolita.

In this day and age, when you list things for that cheap, someone will scalp it. The scalpers are always lurking and waiting to catch things to resell, so they have a big advantage. It's really sad and dishonest.

I get the same impression whenever people start talking about how they're too nervous to wear lolita outside because people might make fun of them (but of course they still post to CoF).

I wish lolibrary was better desu.

We should start a Wiki page where we can have users edit and add pages for the brands, the story of lolita, any good information online (such as Misako's/Mana's interviews, etc).

Imagine a database with a search engine that doesn't suck!! individual dresses/releases pages with important information such as materials, retail price, etc, maybe last price seen on lacemarket (this could be user submited with proof I guess??), any re-releases, special notes such as cleaning tips, maybe a gallery section for example coords.

Supposedly the developer has started working on lolibrary again but I wish there were weekly public updates and if the owner can’t keep it running with actual frequent updates, and finally open it up to volunteer submissions like they said they would ages ago, that they would just ask within the community about someone else taking it over who could do more active updating. It has really fallen behind at this point.
Someone new could start a new site, the old old lolibrary is still in way back machine and frankly more simple to update and more complete with older entries than the new one. The current lolibrary owner and developer have really fallen down on the project.

The thing I disliked most about lolibrary, before the fall of Hello Lace, while they both existed at the same time, Lolibrary never had nearly as many items as HL.

I own that in black, the pink and an Ivory one.
The cuff of the sleeves is tight, I'm very slim and they still feel tight can hardly pass my hand.
Be carefull washing the black one, I was very carefull and followed all the rules (like any other lolita clothes) and there was black EVERYWHERE and the dress now is a muted black? The other colors are ok tho'.
And as another anon said they are very warm clothes.

In the end for the price they are very nice and comfy, they come with that waist band that you can make a bow tie or something.

Did you set yourself any goals to expand your wardrobe/develop your style/get better at coording this year? How are you doing?

I made this the year I finally bought a crapton of accessories so I'd have at least two coords for each main piece I own. So far, so good! I've never had the funds or damn common sense to get a good spread of headwear or boleros before so I'm really excited!

Good luck with anyone taking over the lolibrary and maintaining the current state because it’s an incorporated nonprofit now rather than a community owned resource. The owner let the developer implement a very overpowered, cloud based, resource gobbling web architecture/framework and that’s also why it is a ~300/month behemoth now instead of a simple volunteer-maintained searchable database with photos. The dev has said a couple of times that “she’s back and working” on it but nothing significant really comes of it and there’s no sign of ever letting people in the community submit entries which is what most of us asked for again and again, so we can volunteer and the updates get done with more people doing the data entry and the dev just spinning up the new pages. I suspect that to catch it up will also jack the monthly running costs. They need to communicate with us, and be frank.

The lolita community fights about shit like this though and sides get taken so there’s no guarantee of any community support at all to do the large amount of work if someone WERE to implement something fresh, and more like the old lolibrary where we could submit things and the sidebar has details of the recent updates...

So it’s kind of a mess.

Why did the person who ran Hello Lace just quit and not recover from the malware attack and re-build the website with the most recent clean backup of their database? Since it seems to be gone forever and lolibrary is at a standstill for way too long now, hopefully the community might support something new?

So I can confirm that the Lolibrary dev is back working on getting it properly functional. These past few months have been pretty shit for her and we’ve been having trouble finding people who can help with the dev side (a lot of people volunteer but we’ve yet to find someone who can help regularly).

I know jack-shit about coding but I can always pass stuff onto her or even see if she’d be willing to talk through some stuff on here?

She needs to make the submission form so anyone can submit entries and all she or fellow devs have to do is add the pages. That’s what kept the old lolibrary going at all. No one expects one dev to do all the work on it but she pretty much did it to herself by using that build architecture and not keeping things simple and economical.

I own this dress, it's very cute, but the inner lining ripped from the outer very easily. Took it to a seamstress, they said the problem was a whole dress problem, not an easily fixable thing. Not enough seam allowance or something so it came apart. would have to redo the entire lining. It's sad because it really is a lovely dress.

Really? The practices sounded like something I had with Glitzywonderland. They never email you with updates or confirmations.(The package just magically appears at your doorstep after awhile.) When an item is out of stock, they will ask you to pick another first and won’t do a refund unless asked. (Plus they won’t update the stock when this happens.)

Have to say knowing Lor did PR for Devilinspired, I do feel a little cautious when watching a video like this.

This whole "horror story" is actually just a story of how much of a coward Lor is. Instead of sneaking around, doing covert private purchases over the course of MONTHS she should have just told them the fucking truth.

"Hello! Thank you so much for reaching out to me and offering me goods from your site to review. However, with the intention to have a more nuanced review I tried to order items from you privately. The item I wanted was listed in stock, but I got no confirmation of my order being processed. When I inquired about it I was told it was out of stock, despite still being listed as available on your website. This is a technical problem which makes a very negative shopping experience. I am not comfortable promoting a website which does not function correctly and displays inaccurate stock. Until you fix this problem I will not be making a review. Please reach out to me when this problem has been fixed and we may continue our business together."

There! Would have saved Lor a lot of anxiety, saved both her and the company a lot of time AND given the company proper VALID feedback. All throughout the video I was just disgusted by her dishonest confrontation fearing coddling. As much as Lor wants to appear as a business woman she is continually painting the image of a childish teenagers who thinks she's smarter than she is. I don't care if she was young and depressed back then! She told this story present day without reflecting over her own shady behaviour. You got harassed, but you also refused to tell the company the truth! Be honest in business! How hard can it be?

You are very dumb. When you are a YouTuber you get a ton of junk for review purposes, companies send it for free to whatever address is available for the chance the yter will do a review on it. There isn’t an established commitment there and tons of stuff get nothing.

The company knew that but still harassed Lor on multiple platforms (instead of through the business email she has)...because of what? Oh they felt entitled to her time. They don’t want valid feedback they know they are shit, they want a shill.

She was emailing them on her personal orders but using her yt email for her order wouldn’t be a fair review. It’s not hard to understand why.

For me, the design takes second place to the quality.

One, if they are using the brands stock photo that’s a scam, not a design replica. You’d be talking about something more like f+f design replicas of them—which, yes, are replicas in a traditional fashion sense. There are only so many iterations of a lolita dress and policing “rouched bodice, bow in the middle, puff sleeve, front bustle” quickly gets out of control. Prints are obviously copies or not. Designs get much murkier.

Okay, so say you have a stapler. Someone designed that stapler. They decided where it curves, how square it is, where a grip sits if there is one, added any grooves for detailing. Its a specific design that someone made. Not a particularly innovative stapler, there are no unique patents on it, but it’s a stapler that someone in the company designed. Now say that stapler is selling pretty well and another company buys one and copies it. Maybe in new colors or with different materials and manufacturing, but it’s clearly the same design. They then go and sell this stapler. No one cares as this is not illegal or unusual. It’s just a stapler, and saying “you can’t have a stapler that’s rounds this way” gets into ridiculous lawsuit territory. Now, some OTHER company contracts a pop artist to draw an illustration that they print on their limited edition stapler line. If another company takes that illustration and puts it on their stapler, depending on where it is manufactured and where the company is located this is illegal. It’s not just design choices for the stapler, it’s a copy and pasted image from an illustration—which has legal protections in many countries. Even when it isn’t illegal due to local laws, a lot of people won’t like it. Why? Because it’s someone’s artwork they clearly copied. NOW is it unfair that societally we don’t value illustration and design the same? Maybe. But, again, it would also produce a lot of petty and loosely based lawsuits that would be a mess. So we are here.

Because it's not considered copying someone if all you copy is the shape of something or you just make something very similar but not exactly the same.

Only so many jsk and OP cuts exist. After awhile it's no longer original even on the brands part.

Modern problems have root in global politics.
If China was not everyone's favorite country of slave labor there would be a much different dynamic.
Art theft will and always has been, be an issue, but all major manufacture routes through a country that actively gives zero fucks 'lol wut is IP?'
You want something made that isn't going to be immediately pumped out to your customers at a cheaper rate? Don't want your art you made yourself similarly jacked?
Don't let Chinese people, business or spies in on what you offer.

It's an unsavory cultural difference.
China has other things (good) to offer, but that's not what this conversation needs.

You think it would be the same story any other way? I vehemently disagree and that's that.

Y’all need to wake up about some of these resellers. Look at this. Is this the page of a reputable seller? A 3 second Google search for ’replica my lolita dress’ found this. https://www.my-lolita-dress.com/high-quality-lolita-replicas-my-lolita-dress

69 fucking replicas.

Now, some will cry that I'm ’leading the babbies to the replicas’ but we all know they are out there and most comm mods need to stop being spineless and letting replica chans attend meets wearing them and manage our own mischief. If comms ban them, very few people will buy something that they can't even wear to a meet.

How do you propose to keep them out? Even the small scale ones operate like this: they usually buy one of the items that is for sale to the public and send it to the the replica middle man who uses it as the factory sample/example. That's how Oo jia did it with her replicas even making thirty copies of the custom lace on some prints, that's how bjd recasters do it in the doll hobby.

In small hobbies, the fellow hobbyists are the ones that have to boycott replica sellers and denounce the, then gate-keep the hobby to keep the fakes out to somewhat dry up the market for them, because there is no real other practical ways for us to stop them. Kill the demand. Make it more trouble than benefit to buy and own them.

We are talking apples to oranges. Do I think design replicas would be common in fashion still? Yes. Like i said, this is not new and is the basis of most high street fashion. Again. Not new. Was the *norm* long before China became a manufacturing force in the modern market. Things like print and art replicas being commonplace is new, and that has to do with chinese laws.

Again anon, I'm not sure what point you're trying to get at.
That because the process to protect fashion designs is so difficult and ultimately moot that design replicas are morally correct?
That because everyone else does it, we shouldn't correct, inform, or even respond negatively when someone chooses to wear a dress (that some random company obviously ripped) when there was money exchanged that could have gone to further benefit lolita brands?
That because It's non-print it's not worth remarking on?

There are some companies that try very hard to pass themselves off as the real thing, and that my friend is protected against. If you think otherwise you ought to try reading rather than skimming for shit that furthers your point.
Educate yourself.

If I were to make a whole new outfit:
Headpiece: 30 - 45€
Main piece: 250 - 300€
Blouse: 25 - 50€
Socks: 2€ or 25 - 30€ (I often wear generic AliExpress tights)
Shoes: 50 - 75€
Bag: 50 - 90€
Accessoires: 40€ (I don’t wear much)
Petti: 35€

So 500 - 690€. But most is interchangeable, so I just add a headbow or socks that fit many dresses. I never buy stuff that only fits one dress.

I buy most of my main pieces, blouses etc. down the lower end of that range so average around the $300 mark with the largest single item cost being shoes, but if I put all on of my most expensive items I'd probably make it well over $1000.

Thank frickin’ god that brands like IW, AtePie, and now Moitie are starting to put out new cotton OPs with no poly lining (or at least make it separable, like the underskirt here).

I’m getting sick of sweating in poly dresses and blouses, and that awful smell that builds on poly even after you wash them.

Just recently learned the smell is due a type of bacteria that specifically likes poly more than cotton. The microbes are adapting to plastics.

I totally agree with you, they’re being obtuse. When you can cover up the name on the stock photo and you could think it’s a different specific MM dress, it’s a rip off and you should feel just as guilty as if it’s a print. They’re just cheap classic lolitas. They want to have their cake and eat it too. They love feeling superior to sweet lolitas, so sweet replicas (prints) are bad but classic replicas (designs) are fine. Legality does not equal morality

Eh I personally find it flattering that the art is emulated in prints, but I could also see why others still may not like it. Then again, Catholics don't worship images the same way we worship "on" objects. Using these objects as props is disrespectful.

In any case, Catholics do not like when people do this, so your opinion on whether they are right to like it or not does not matter.

Anonymous Wed Jun 26 20:58:26 2019 No.10204842

I think the point also is that rosaries are not meant to be worn, ever, even by catholics. They are specifically meant to be a hand held item.
So when you wear them as a necklace you just look dumb. You are ita to the Catholics as much as someone wearing cat paw mits at a lolita tea party.

No, Catholic. So I asked.
Answer: Only blessed and consecrated items need to be treated specially. Same with the broken communion wafers. They literally for and throw the broken ones in the trash before transubstantiation. After then yes, they have to be treated specially. But before, they are just fancy crackers. And an unblessed rosary is just a necklace.

I mean sort of? Rosaries aren't worn around the neck, but they've been worn on belts and as bracelets and rings. Pic related is a 17th century painting of Saint Bruno with a rosary around the belt.

Also I don't think they're actually rosaries unless they have the right bead arrangement. If anything what lolita brands are releasing are rosary-styled necklaces.

>>10204803
The anon in >>10204806 is correct. It’s not a true rosary in the religious sense until a priest blesses it. When I went to Catholic elementary school, we had one craft day when we made our own rosaries out of plastic beads, yarn, and crosses cut out of plastic sheets. The priest came into class to say a blessing that took less than a minute, and then they were real, official rosaries. The rosary I made was the prettiest in the class, AND gayest, because I selected every color of the rainbow (not even knowing about the pride flag), and wouldn’t you know it I grew up bi. But I digress.

Yes, it’s faux pas within Catholicism to wear rosaries like necklaces, since they are tools of prayer, not jewelry. But if the wearer wasn’t raised in the religion I wouldn’t blame them. (And if they were raised in it, I’d be concerned about their long-term memory, not piety.)

Most Japanese people will not know these tiny quips of Catholic dogma. Moitie names their necklaces as rosaries, and photographs them being worn like necklaces. What else are lolitas supposed to assume on how rosaries are used?

It’s the same when Western tourists in Asia put on Buddhist rosaries as bracelets. Yes, people practicing the religion will likely notice. At worst, they might sigh, or think it a bit tacky. But ultimately they’ll not care.

I wear gothic lolita, and while I’m not a practicing Catholic anymore, I personally would never wear a rosary like that, even a non-blessed one, just because I would feel like I’d be betraying my sweet first grade teacher. It’s easy enough to wear a cross or crucifix instead. But other lolitas who wear rosaries like necklaces? Don’t care. Because A) that’s what Moitie prescribed as part of the aesthetic, B) Moitie sure as hell did not get them blessed by a Catholic priest, so they’re not real rosaries in the religious definition anyway, and C) I don’t want to be a killjoy, let people have their fun.

Honestly cold steel the hedgeheg has been memed to death to the point that anyone who hasn’t heard of it must be either mentally retarded or freshly introduced to the internet. Thinking it comes from some “small tiny internet corner” just confirms that you’re new and don’t want to admit it

I'm boomer, man. It's a millennial meme and I want none of that thanks.

fwiw I'm not the one that originally corrected you anyway. I've gotten too old to care every time some kid doesn't understand other people don't find the same things cool.

Seems like bait but I’ll bite.

Apparently 4chan doesn’t like the “aesthetic clash” between the Western antique aesthetic with coverage of the hijabi.

In contrast, girlschannel raves about how hijabi lolitas can blend a foreign fashion and their own local culture. Not surprising, since Japanese culture is littered with incidents of taking a foreign fashion and fusing it with local sensibilities. Check out woodblock prints after the Meiji restoration, which shows Japanese women in clothing that are Western jackets and skirts, but the fabric is definitely Japanese weaving. The Japanese know that blending two completely different aesthetics together is hard work, and admire people outside Japan who can do it.

Personally I like seeing hijabis in lolita, especially when they color coordinate everything. Jeans as leg coverage, I’m not impressed with, but pastel pants that match, not too bad. They’re enjoying the fashion in a way they’re allowed to, and this is the way they can publicly share photographs of their coords without getting yelled at by their family, or worse. The hijabi lolitas might even be taking off their hijabs and put on full wigs and hairstyles, and enjoy private tea parties at home while the men are gone, but making any photographic evidence of that can put them in a load of trouble.

In my opinion, a hijabi lolita with full color coordination will look a hundred times better than someone who flounces into the fashion with things like: heavy drag makeup, satin, scratchy lace, or zero eye for warm vs cool colors.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 27 01:14:24 2019 No.10205050 >>10205028 girlschannel is basically buzzfeed in japanese though, so it isn't really a fair comparison. 2ch would be a better representation of unfiltered attitudes towards hijabi lolita.
