Agreed. Best case, they add a tiny but of extra poof, worst case they make your skirt oddly shaped when combined with an actual petti, and no matter how much I try to reshape the tulle after washing it generally dries into a wrinkly mess.

They're supposed to help the skirt "float" over your main petti so you don't get any weird dips or lumps in the material. You see similar tulle in a lot of prom dresses with full skirts.

[Anonymous No.10319419]

>>10313361
Have you tried ironing out the tulle? Use an iron with auto steam set to wool and press it out. You can put a press cloth or wash cloth over the tulle first if the creases are particularly bad.

jetj is hardly very wearable even for lolita. i always think of it along the same lines as triple fortune, it looks great on about 10 people who can put the effort into making it look great and who happen to like and suit the style.

dragonchan and other older jetj was more wearable though

Not a fan of the busy print but I love the renaissance style of the dresses!

[Anonymous No.10320060]

I just got my Honey Cake in and I'm super disappointed. A few gulls were saying that it was high quality poly and better than a lot of their newer dresses but it honestly still feels like ass. It's got this slight sheen and it's annoyingly slippery. Sure, it's light, and the print is crisp, but honest to God, my friend's Nameless Poem overall feels better than this dress does. Even the "cracked" buttons from before that people thought were a defect have been replaced by plain, clear yellow buttons, which somehow look cheaper.
I'm keeping it because I love the print but fuck if I'm ever buying a dress from AP again.

Also got the new HC. This is not my pic but I mean.. it's not all bad.. at least the print is clearer and I'm not paying over $500 for a nearly decade old dress that had multiple owners for the hype.

I always wanted it for the cuteness and not status so I'll take my AP trash and the cute purse I guess...


At this point though I am having a hard time choosing if I want to overpay for old faded dresses or support the brand with new things I still find cute.

I was talking to some gulls today and I remembered that one of my comm members was super proud about the time she went to the bathroom in a very high-end luxury store in my city and stood on an actual human turd.

I've been debating with myself on whether or not to sell it. It was a gift so I'd feel rather guilty, but at the same time I don't want to hoard a piece I'm not completely in love with especially since It's not really cohesive in my wardrobe. I'll probably try to get a first release version in the future regardless.

I own two and would probably still buy it in poly. Well, I'm a recent poly convert after a recent spree on ETC/Leur Getter dresses -- it rolls up easier, travels easier, is lighter and flatter to store, no ironing/steaming, brighter, lighter to wear. Will admit I have not seen the new Honeycake fabric though.

I doubt they will though. SC is going downhill in popularity isn't it? The prices are already below their original retail the last time I checked.

They can't possibly have sold out because last I checked none of the colors even had 'few left' on them. Please don't mess with my fragile heart like this, IW.

>>10320788
I was about to say that ugh. Sometimes they do less popular prints so it's hard to predict. Although asian market is different to ours, probs those were more popular there. Plus FD matches their current retro trend.

What about SC I'd gladly grab the special set if they do it, but it isn't so hyped these days too. Plus I haven't yet received my HC yet, I'm not sure about poly. It's def more practical, but idk if this particular dress takes poly well.

[Anonymous No.10320798]

>>10320775
Usually the English page is updated slower than the Japanese page, so for stock the Japanese side is more accurate to go off.

Also the sales page goes down as unavailable in between the flash sales. Things are only available to order between the given times. They started the flash sales approach after having huge issues with getting massively swamped by too many orders at once.

I ordered via the English page a skirt in the sale that was still showing as available on the English side but had sold out in that size in the Japanese. I had said when ordering the other size is fine if this one sells out, but they’ve held off invoicing me checking the stock for the first.

Tranny here. So I think lolita fashion is pretty cool. But I'm afraid to get into it myself because I sometimes see a degree of exclusion directed at trans women from within the community.

Same advice I'd give anyone else. If you don't already know how to do hair and makeup, learn that first. Lurk a lot, learn all you can about lolita before putting together coords yourself. Coming into the fashion with a solid grasp on it will also help you not look like a sissy, because everyone will be able to tell you're serious about it. If you fit into brand, start with secondhand brand (lacemarket, closetchild, wunderwelt) and pad out your wardrobe with taobao. If you're not fat you should be able to fit into brand, but if you're tall you might want to pick up a few underskirts too. If you have broad shoulders go for JSKs rather than OPs, and brand blouses might not fit so taobao is fine there. You'll be taken way more seriously if you wear brand and wear it well, and most people won't care you're a tranny if you're well-dressed.

[Anonymous No.10321248]

>>10320999
I'm a cis guy and a 'daily' punk, but I wear lolita a few times a month at least. I've been wearing the fashion for about 15 years now.

My advice is forget the "community" aspect for now. Avoid CoF and groups like that. Don't join a local comm. Build your wardrobe and practice styling your coords. Keep working on your hair and makeup. Get used to being a solo lolita.

When you feel like your wardrobe is solid and you're ready for harsher CC then you can start posting your stuff on someplace like Instagram. Or if you've got a thick skin and can handle the thought of getting reposted to ita threads, then go to CoF.

People are a lot less likely to think you're a fetishist or a creep if you take the extra time to show you're serious about the fashion. It's like building an online lolita portfolio that people will see when they click on your profile/username.

The other thing that helps is avoid ageplay or crossdressing adjacent looks. Skip the sugary sweet AP prints and shiny satin. For god's sake don't ever wear something like Dreamy Baby Room. Don't wear chokers, cat ears, any of that shit.

Protip: Ankle socks and OTKs both look more lewd if you're tall and like shorter skirts. I stick to tights or knee-highs usually.

tl;dr Become a real, serious lolita. Then worry about what people think of you.

It's Fantasic Dolly's only re-release, though, and the prices only dropped after the re-release. Sugary Carnival had a re-release way back in 2010. I know it's so long ago, and it sold out too fast back then too, but I wonder if that nixes any chances AP would re-release it.

I'm hoping they run out of things to re-release and eventually loop around to this, but I'm not really optimistic about it.

[Anonymous No.10321648]

>>10321083

I mean, it's Sugary Carnival, it's got a long way to go before it ends up being bargain basement nwt material, if that's what you're looking for. But there was a time when it was going for $600 from someone who is the third owner, and you can bet all previous owners have worn the dress.

So it going below retail is a huge drop in pricing.

These necklaces come in a plastic bag where chain may move around the pendant and scratch it. Actually, the thing is on its way here, so there's nothing I can do with it atm, but I'm just worried.

I feel terrible that you feel that way, but like...my friend bought it and I felt it and looked at it myself (because I would have felt worse encouraging her to buy something that turned out to be shit than if I bought it myself) and even though the fabric is thin, I was so impressed with the print quality and how nice the fabric actually was...considering there were so many gulls having a meltdown about it. No, it isn't cotton Honey Cake...but jeez. It is NOT bad. If anything, the print looks more vibrant to me because it ISN'T on cotton.

Nayrt, but who cares about vibrancy when the dress feels like some shitty sweaty Halloween costume? It just doesn't feel like a durable everyday garment.

The print is vibrant but that's all it has going for it. No offense, but have you ever felt one of AP's older pieces? I feel like you'd understand the complaints if you had.
Like you said, the fabric is thin, which also means that when you put it on it has no "structure" around the bodice, causing it to crease in an unflattering way. Although this is probably less apparent if you actually stretch the shirring out a fair amount.
The thin fabric also means that petticoats look a bit weird under it. I tried different pettis and it takes a lot of smoothing for it to not look like a lumpy mess.
And this is just a nitpick, but God the sound it made when I was smoothing it. It sounded like a fucking windbreaker.
If all you care about is showing off prints and getting good pictures for Instagram then yeah, I guess it's nice.

I have some cotton AP and I get what you mean. Even tho I keep in mind that those are going to be slowly dying with every wash, so I really reluctant to wear them out comparatively to my poly. That's why any time someone talks about rereleases I doubt if I want it to be the same. Cotton does feel nice. I'm still salty for poly British Bear because I see it as autumnal print and it takes wearing a sweater underneath to make it weather appropriate. But at another hand brand items are not easy to replace, so I'm afraid I only gonna pull them out of closet to appreciate and hang back.

Honest question: why do you think poly is longer lasting than cotton?

[Anonymous No.10322532]

I believe it doesn't lose color in washings + if you drop something on you can just wash it out immediately.

[Anonymous No.10322536]

>>10322527
Poly is longer-lasting for the reason that it simply doesn't degrade as quickly as cotton does. This also has the unfortunate consequence of making it an ecological nightmare when discarded. Less of an issue for lolita pieces, but everything goes in the trash eventually unless it's in the hands of someone willing to reconstitute anything and everything.

[Anonymous No.10322552]

>>10322520
This is exactly how I feel.

My style is punk so many of my pieces are old school. I love how cotton looks and feels compared to poly, but I hesitate in wearing some of my most beloved old pieces, especially if they're particularly rare. I wear them for a few hours at a time and then pack them back in their garment bags lest they fade any more or get dirty. And I've never gotten over the trauma of getting caught in a sudden downpour and seeing the red from my skirt literally bleed all over my hands.

With my poly pieces I can toss them straight in the laundry, smash them in a closet, fold them up and stuff them in a suitcase, etc. without ever worrying about it.

There's ways to clean your clothes that'll help them last longer (handwashing, cold water, vinegar) but you're right, Im sure they will still eventually deteriorate faster than poly will so I understand your fear.
However, I think I'd rather have something that makes me really happy to wear, even if it'll be for less wears, than something that feels kind of off every time I put it on, even if it'll last forever. That just means it'll be disappointing for longer.

[Anonymous No.10322636]

>>10322622

One thing I've always wondered about the cotton vs poly debate is, does the fabric even touch your skin? If you're wearing bloomers and a blouse and a petticoat, why does it matter what the material of the fabric is? I guess it makes sense it your blouses are all pure cotton then the torso might get a little uncomfortable, but do the people who complain about poly dresses always use cotton blouses 100% of the time? This is the only way this makes sense to me

[Anonymous No.10322637]

>>10322622
Also, this whole “lasting longer” thing is specifically referring to the vibrancy of prints. Poly dresses are less durable in cotton in every other way. I’m okay with my dress being a bit more faded if it’s not snagged or damaged in other irreparable ways

[Anonymous No.10322669]

>>10322636
My suggestion is that some AP fans have used to some particular experience of interaction with clothes, not just how practical they are to wear. Like the feel of texture, the weight, the way it moves when you walk and how well it lays on petti. Remember, how people praised all the tiny detals like custom lace or matching buttons. I guess the same thing works for the material.

[Anonymous No.10322680]

When Lacemarket gives the "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message when trying to list, is that usually because the images you're trying to upload are too big?

[Anonymous No.10322683]

>>10322636
I can't speak for everyone but I do prefer to wear my cotton blouses than polyester ones. I'd say I wear them about 80% of the time. They just feel more breathable and almost sturdier? More structured and flattering?

What bothers me about AP's poly dresses is that the fabric feels flimsy and looks shiny because the main focus is to have a vibrant print, rather than feeling sturdy, breathable or nice to touch. The fit doesn't look as nice too, partly this is a pattern and sizing issue (most new AP dresses aren't particularly complex or tailored) but it feels like the fabric of the bodice just kind of hangs there looking frumpy and wrinkly because the fabric is too thin. The skirt portion doesn't always look smooth over a petticoat too.

Poly OPs are just hell to me. The last I bought was horror candy shop and it just felt like wearing a plastic bag, weirdly gross and suffocating on my skin. Wore it a few times and sold it immediately. Never again.

[Anonymous No.10322687]

>>10322683
The fit and drape makes a lot of sense, actually. But I love OPs so I'm very glad that I don't have these kinds of skin sensitivities. I've never had the feeling of wearing a plastic bag unless I really concentrate and know the fabric ahead of time, so I guess I'm fortunate that the trend towards poly doesn't impact my comfort level. I feel for gals who need to wear natural fibers, it seems like it may really start to limit their options.

I'm not going to sit here and act like newer AP can hold a candle to old AP - it simply can't. But I guess I've just conceded and decided to stop clutching my pearls over it because I know I can't do anything to change the direction AP is headed.

I feel like this would strictly apply to the printfags then? I have polyester solids from AP since 2013, 2014 and on a lot of them it feels like the polyester fabric practically makes the dress -- the texture of dots on one, the jacquard on another, heck Dolly Cross jsk basically looks the way it does because the material is a stiffer organdy with smooth satin underneath it and I remember some anons went batshit for that particular dress.

This conversation is bringing back ironic memories, I think Daydream Carnival released with a chiffon blouse and it was rather highly sought after. Feels like there was a trend to wear chiffon blouses under cotton jsks for a while back then.

She's right. It's just rude to keep approaching people demanding they sell their dresses. As for altering, I've bought altered pieces in the past. As long as it will fit me it doesn't bother me to buy it as long as the fabric and design aren't ruined. We spend so much time, effort and money into our looks so why should we walk around in ill fitting clothing. Just because it fits on your body doesn't mean it couldn't be tailored to fit better. Big girls don't look good in stretched out stuff and small girls don't look good with their dress hanging off of them.

The white waist ties bother me too. I get that it's attached to the card apron but still.

This doesn't mean anything about how big they are, though.

Lots of items are partial or fully shirred especially from certain brands. Nearly every Meta release is "plus size friendly" for example. Are you going to refuse to sell to someone just bc her purchase history shows she bought a Shirring Princess JSK, bc a 300lb landwhale could technically squeeze into it?

And that's not even touching on the fact that lots of "plus size" listings on LM are 100% not in any country, and the seller just slapped that label on bc the garment was vaguely stretchy.

I want to say AatP but in my memory they’ve been going downhill so long that I can’t remember if they were ever good or if i simply had lower standards then. I’ve regretted literally everything I’ve bought from them in the last five+ years. It’s strange because like >>10323678 said Baby is mostly the same as it was years ago.

[Anonymous No.10323824]

>>10323802
AatP started going downhill after 2011, around which time it lost a major designer. After then it just lost what made it good, and it’s gothic styling. It lost the pirate lolita and ouji aesthetic too.

[Anonymous No.10323827]

>>10323599
>>10323624
Agreed. The poly they use for most solid stuff used to actually feel pretty nice, but now it feels really uncomfortable and thin. For everyone that got the LP dress- that's what all of their solid dresses feel like, now. Fine for a LP dress, but I'll never pay $250+ for that again.
>>10323625
Yeah the quality drop has been in about the last 3 years- since maybe 2017 or so (though the print items I've handled from that year are still nice).

In 2017-2018 they had very few to almost no releases, then last year they started releasing more regularly again but with a drastic drop in quality.

>>10323802
That tracks. I still love my dresses from 2010-2013 or so, but I haven't even bothered paying attention to them for a good 5 years, since they started releasing nothing but poly lacemonsters.

My dresses are mostly lined print releases though (they tended to bleed, sure, but they were gorgeous otherwise).

On the note of this discussion:
How is VM's quality in newer releases post-WW? Especially their cotton items/blouses?

[Anonymous No.10323829]

>>10323827
I actually don't think VM has changed. I have a mix of oldschool VM, revival VM and VM from right before the closure/revival and it all seems pretty consistent to me, unlike pre and post revival moitie where the difference is night and day. Thank god.

>How is VM's quality in newer releases post-WW? Especially their cotton items/blouses?
As good as ever, though I feel they have fewer details (pintucks, lace) than before. Might just be the designer's choice. I don't see how WW would affect VM's quality since VM is just selling through them.

[Anonymous No.10323954]

>>10323949
Hmm, I had been under the impression that WW "rescuing" VM had been in part them gaining some type of ownership or control of the company? But I suppose I misunderstood the circumstances of their reopening.

Are they under new ownership or production control at all, in their "new" state?

[Anonymous No.10323977]

>>10323949

They did say they were having a lot more difficulty with obtaining some of their prior supplies, including lace, so that might contribute to it rather than WW rescuing it.

I will say though, their releases are made in Japan, and it shows. Extremely solid construction, and even their Gunne Sax wannabe dress has details to die for.

As far as I know, WW played no part in their revival. VM is selling through WW the same way Queen Bee sells through Atelier Pierrot.

I believe the only change that came with VM's reopening was that Nimu left and Lumi seems to have taken over as head designer.

A very plain black Classic op. I knew I liked lolita aesthetic but I didn’t know if I liked it well enough to want to wear it myself...and if so, how much more than just a little bit or once in a while so I started very conservatively with something easy to coordinate that did not stand out too much but was definitely lolita. I paid attention to making one full coordinate, head to toe to get the full experience. If I would be starting today I’d get one print jsk that I loved, one unprinted skirt and then a blouse with button sleeves that matched them both as my starting items. Petti is a must. Actual lolita shoes are important to me too.

Quick question regarding the IW sale. It’s been a while since I’ve ordered directly from them myself, but my shopping service was closed for new year. I put in an order for a sale item on the very first day, and didn’t hear back until the 14th, once IW opened again after a long weekend. The item went out of stock in the size I had put in the order for, but added in a comment saying I’d be happy with the other size as an alternative, which is still in stock. When I got the email from them last Tuesday, they said to please wait for an invoice while we check other stock on the ordered item, as it was out of stock in the online store stock, this might take a few days. Now it’s been nearly a week, and I’ve still heard nothing. Is this sort of waiting length typical these days? At this point would it be best to drop IW another email to check, or to just give up and go through my shopping service? I did email IW as a reply to the email I got last week to confirm I’m happy to accept the other size of the item as an alternative in case of the one I’d put the order in for was sold out.

Hi, I got the same email on Tuesday. They usually take a really long time to invoice during sales anyway, but if they’re confirming stock it would take even longer. My out of stock item is socks so I assume they’re checking all the branches to find a pair. I certainly wouldn’t worry about it yet! I’ve waited over a week to be invoiced during a sale when all the items were in stock. If I get my invoice I’ll post about it so you know!

Thank you, much appreciated! It’s just surprised me how slow they’ve been when I said I’d be fine with either size. I went for the one I’d guessed would sell out slower but it was that one that’s out of stock first. I just hope that in the meanwhile the other size doesn’t go out of stock before they get back to me. This was the first time in several years that I’ve bought directly from them. I hope that your socks arrive in stock soon.
