Anyone got the taobao link to these cutsews? I want to know if the listing has the measurements since they only mentioned they're 50cm flat measured and "stretchy"

https://egl.circlly.com/auctions/detachable-bunny-ear-cutsew-assorted-colors-black-pink-blue-white

I am also sure they cost far less than $70 each even with the cost of SS. The tag in the listing seems to say "Forest Rabbit"; pic related for what it looks like.

My only asterisk is if you have big legs from muscles. Even if there is a fair amount of fat too, you’ll likely have skinnish ankles (where there’s no muscle) and ankle socks can be a godsend. My legs look fat as hell in anything other than crew socks

I have legs and ankles like tree trunks and ime SHOES are more important than socks when it comes to 'flattering' your legs. You want to look for shoes that take up more 'visual space'. Shoes with chunky soles (like creepers, platforms, or RHSs) are a godsend. Boots, even slim traditional 'victorian' style ones, are also good.

Tea parties and other delicate small shoes will usually just emphasize your legs, sort of like how ballet flats are so unflattering. (Obviously if you have giant feet you can probably wear whatever.)

Ankle socks are fine so long as they kind of 'disappear' (like the mesh ones) and don't break up the line of your leg too much. Tights are the best, ime, if the pattern doesn't distort or warp too much. OTKs are fine, too, if they're comfortable on your thighs. UTKs are very dependent on the length of your skirt and if you have nice knees.

Headdresses are the wrong shape to curve over your nose anyhow. You could try it with a kerchief headdress or a scarf I suppose.

There's a web interface and an android app now.

Last time I was on it some bunch of itas were spamming 3-5 photos of every bad outfit, that really soured my experience of it. Plus searching for particular dresses is practically useless, it fully depends on owners spelling out which dress it is, most owners apparently don't and they often don't bother tagging the brand either.

It seemed like a good idea but it worked out more like a less functional instagram and less useful wear.jp so I guess everybody just stuck to instagram and facebook instead.

I often see lolitas disagree on whether or not nun / religious, retro, circus, etc. should be considered a substyle because it's too one-note or already falls under sweet, classic, or gothic. However, sailor, pirate, military, hime, etc. are considered substyles despite being the same thing. Am I off for thinking this way?
I've always viewed the "big three" (sweet, classic, gothic) as general aesthetics that can be worn as-is or be applied to a substyle (ie sweet sailor, classic sailor, gothic sailor), so I don't really understand the upset about these newer substyles.

the only substyle i think should be seperate is hime because it's practically it's own style next to goth, sweet and classic. the others are just themes. people who disagree about newer ones but are ok with older ones are just going off misako or glbs strictly.

You’re confusing theme with substyle. Substyles have broader aesthetics in common (shape and length of skirt, common silhouettes, size of florals, colors, etc). Themes have very specific concepts attached to them that can be created using a variety of substyles.

For example, you could have classic or sweet country lolita. You have the idea, just the terms reversed.

What kind of items are you looking for specifically? It tends to vary a lot within one brand. For example Violet Fane tights are really good quality and I would recommend them, but the construction on the dresses isn't great, might depend on the release but many just aren't flattering.

For skirts I've liked the Eat Me Ink Me pieces that I've seen in person in terms of fabric quality. They're not quite my style so I haven't worn them myself. The sewing quality and detailing on what Summer Tales boutique does is also very good. Their dresses are definitely cut for someone tall and broad shouldered though, not sure if the sizing on the skirts is similar.

Re blouses I would agree with >>10380883. I own a few and they're all really flattering. I'm mainly aware of European indie brands, can't really think of any other ones that do blouses regularly.

DHL is a courier and acts separate from Japan's post, although you'd need to see if DHL still delivers to your country, and even if they do it might still be risky (delays/high volume). I've had problems with DHL on a good day, can't imagine how bad they'd be with the stress of a pandemic.

Also, they're super expensive, and I've heard they're worse now, and you will most likely have to pay fees before it is delivered to you, regardless if it gets hit by customs or not. All my DHL packages have had fees that cost more than the items themselves, and that fee + shipping pre-pandemic would be over $100CAD for small shit like a blouse or video game (which they crushed to bits). I'm adding this part in case you have access to other courier options that aren't DHL.

Ahh okay. It's just that CDJapan has possibly shipped my orders via DHL before I think so I was wondering why they didn't give me the option on my last order when choosing shipping but noted info about DHL on the site still. I would have waited to order but I needed to use up my expiring points. Maybe DHL isn't still shipping to my country or it's ridiculously higher than usual and that's why they didn't offer.

Even if I have to wait, at least I was able to use my points to alleviate shipping costs so I got some MAXICIMAM items at cost.

Of course everyone should wear what they like most and feel comfortable in, but what has happened to gothic lolita and classic lolita? When I first heard about the fashion a long time ago, that was considered the big thing. Now it seems harder and harder to find gothic lolitas and classic lolitas.

Oxyclean usually, but there’s no such thing as a magic bullet for stains. I’d advise against getting something with stains as the only way to know how to remove them properly is to know what they are from. For example, I tried to get out a light stain and made it a million times worse because it was a rust stain and I used oxyclean.

Just as a heads up for you or whoever this is relevant to: minimizers will only do so much, and they may make your boobs look weird. They generally pancake your boobs, and the tissue has to go somewhere, so you can end up with squashed looking boobs that look smaller from the side but bigger from the front. IME a minimizer also makes it harder to reach around your boobs because it jams them into your pits. Can also cause pain and prevent lymph nodes from draining properly. That said, with all of these things YMMV, so try one anyway because you might get lucky. Just keep your expectations low.

So japonica just sent me this about shipping my item,

"Please confirm
(Canada) customs is very difficult…
You have to pay large tax and customs.
First, Please ask (Canada) customs about your tax and customs.

We have to declare the actual value for an insurance.
If you cancel an insurance contract, we can declare the low value.
but you have to take responsibility for all.

How much value should I declare on your package ?"

I've never had to ask Canada customs about anything from Japan before, should I just ignore that part of the email and tell them what I'd like them to declare the package as and confirm that I accept any loss? I asked them to mark it as a gift but I might just take the hit to avoid issues, the item was only 15,000 yen but I've had ridiculous customs charges Japan before for 10,000+ yen packages (all from WW, never from any other site or ss though).

What they are telling you is that if you do not mark the package down you will 100% be hit with customs as Canada is known to have unreasonable fees, but if you mark it down they will not refund you if the item is lost.
Just say "thank you, I understand. I would like to void the insurance and go forward with marking the package at a low value" and finish with an amount somewhere under 60CAD, anything more is hit with the high fee typically.

All orders that currently cannot be shipped out will be held until the situation normalizes and then be shipped as quickly as possible. Please note that we expect packages to be delayed several months.
We can now also offer international shipping via Yamato International TA-Q-BIN for customers who wish to receive their orders quickly without waiting for regular EMS and ePacket shipping to resume.

All shipments are insured up to 200.000JPY.
Yamato shipments will be sent out only once a week.
If you have friends in your country with open orders, you can also opt to have all these orders combined and shipped to one person (getting all orders where they need to be once they arrived in your country will need to be handled by yourselves).
Please note that orders shipped through Yamato cannot be delivered to post-office boxes and hotels or lodging facilities.
All orders will be declared at their correct, full value for customs purposes as usual. Marking down packages is not possible.
Once in your country, orders will either be delivered to you by Yamato's overseas subsidiary or a local delivery service. Please note that we do not know which company in which country handles the shipments."

I got an email from them too and checked the Kuroneko Yamato prices and based on them saying 60 or 80 size is the smallest they could do for one dress, shipping would probably be between 30 and 40 USD. I ordered during the free shipping promo so they said they'd only charge the difference between that and EMS. EMS from Japan is usually 20-30 bucks for me (USA) so I might do it since it could cost as little as $10 or even free. Would need to confirm my item could fit in the size 60 box though since it is a JSK that comes with an apron...

What do you guys think about peignoirs? Do they look cute with lolita or just plain bad? I know this trend died in 2015 but I still like the aesthetic of them and could possibly even find them useful since I live in a warmer climate. I’ve heard some lolitas say they are a hit or miss thing so how do you pick peignoirs that work with lolita, is it boiled down to the quality and length of the peignoir? Or should I just not even bother with them?

Also if you know where I can get one like pic related please let me know, I don’t think Dear Celine makes them anymore

Depends on what you mean by “full shirring” or “partial shirring”
Sweet lolitas tens to say full shirring when they just mean full back shirring and when the say partial shirring they’re referring to just a strip down the middle of the back with corset ribbons to tighten it. But technically full shirring is all the way around the front of the dress and if the entire back being shirred that can be considered partial shirring. So you have to be more specific to avoid confusion. Almost all full back shirring AP dresses fit to around 100cm. Newer ones, like 2014 on, go up to 120

Just swap meets and the excuse to make friends if you are new to the area. I don’t find comm meets that enticing frankly. It’s mostly acquaintances sitting around awkwardly making small talk that occasionally covers lolita topics in my experience. Like half of every comm I’ve been in is horrible itas, too, so it’s not preferable for going out.

...No one's gonna ask what it was in the first place?

- Burando should be fine, especially newer/firsthand pieces
- secondhand/old burando **should** be fine, but you never know what previous owner did to it. You can try sacrificing a waist tie and see if it survives. Good chance it'll be ok.
- Taobao *lolita* brands should also be fine, especially from a reputable a brand, but the cheaper, less "lolita"-like brand, or very small random shops carry a risk of using cheaper materials.
- non-lolita/fast fashion : strictly follow the care labels, don't deviate.

Explanation:

- It depends on the glue used to stick the flocking onto the fabric. One type is water-resistant, the other type is not and needs to be dry-cleaned.

- most lolita brands know their clientele is middle class and chose sturdy fabrics for their dresses. Hence, most burando tries hard to be sturdy and machine-washable even if the care tag tries to be posh and specifies non-PCE dry cleaning (there are very few exceptions).

- Secondhand, you never know if the glue has deteriorated due to storage or whatever, even dry-cleaning could destroy it. But, if you received it in good condition and it isn't shedding/balding, it's likely to survive the washing machine a few more times at least. Provided you didn't get unlucky and end up with one of the rare unwashable items (by now most of them should have shedded or molded to death anyway)

- taobao lolita brands follow this, but sometimes the shop just isn't able to provide the best fabric. If you can track back their sales page, it will stress quite heavily if it's an item you need to dryclean (early Krad Lanrete for eg)

- the cheaper "lolita" shops just don't give af and use whatever fabric, in which case, follow the care label

- fast fashion/non-lolita have no such practices. Therefore, strictly follow their care labels, who knows what's going through their heads when they chose this particular fabric.

>my only experience is with semi-permanents on bleached hair, but i've heard they don't hold well on natural hair.
some people's hair is more porous than others, so you never know. I've heard that for semi permanents, reds wash out really easily, but you might have more luck with a straight black. I dyed my hair using Loreal's colorista (the teal colour), it's usually a medium brown. It wasn't a super striking difference, but certain lighting really brought out the green tones, and I was happy with it, as my hair got quite a bit darker. It last about six weeks before fading completely.

Black from a box dye (or professional permanent dye, probably) is going to be really hard to lift if you change your mind at any point. You'll have to wait for all of it to grow out. Same thing with henna - apparently because of how it stains your chair, it's tricky to bleach/lift out afterwards. But it's probably much better for your hair than box dye because it's plant based and doesn't use any developer or peroxide or what have you.

I would probably try a semi-permanent dye first (depending on how much hair you have and what brand you buy, you'd only be spending anywhere from $10-$30 to get enough dye) and if it doesn't get you results you like, you can always attempt a different method.

For sock dreams it depends on what kind of sock you actually get. The "solid opaque thigh high" has a smooth texture and a tigher band and holds very well on me, would recommend for most cosplays. The "Extraordinary thigh high" has a much looser elastic, it's a bit of a looser weave and I would recommend using sock glue with it. If you are particularly tall they also come in a longer version. They also have nice ribbed socks (the cuffable scrunchable ones or whatever) and opaque stockings (so a thinner nylon material) in various colours. You definitely need sock glue for the nylons cuz they roll down like crazy.

Sock dreams do have some designs that work ok for classic, I have some crocheted OTKs in cream I tend to wear a lot, or stockings with vertical stripes, etc. but mostly they're few and far in between. I wish they'd put out some nice floral tights in various colours, I'm sure they'd be appreciated by normies and I'd definitely love them for lolita. Most tights from taobao, even ones labelled as plus size, have never fit me properly.

You can't exactly lift/bleach henna. Or at least you shouldn't try to and no decent stylist will put developer or similar chemicals on your head if you've ever used henna. You can have bad chemical reactions and fry your hair. I've heard hairdresser horror stories of foils seriously smoking from the reaction.

What the best/most polite way to tell somebody you have to leave them negative feedback on LM?

Somebody messaged me a couple of days ago about me holding an item for them until they get paid, as well as asking about international shipping costs, and before I was able to get back to them to warn them that the shipping would be very expensive because it's a heavy item, they bought the listing. I've just messaged them back with the shipping options and I've got a bad feeling that they are going to come back saying that they can't afford the item or that they need me to hold it for even longer. I've never had something like this happen before and I'm super non-combative, but I'm pretty annoyed that they didn't wait to hear back from me before buying the listing.

Why would you tell them beforehand that you're giving them negative feedback? First wait to see what actually happens. If she pays with no issue, great. Leave positive feedback. If she doesn't, leave negative or neutral feedback and explain why in the feedback itself.

I didn't say I was going to give her negative feedback right away. I'm just looking for advice on how to handle the situation if it goes the way I'm assuming it will go. If she can buy the coat with no issues, that would be wonderful, but based on what she said in her previous message, I'm willing to bet she was not accounting for the shipping being as expensive as it is.

>>10384282
That's exactly what happened. Her first message to me was earlier in the week asking about if I can hold something for her. I responded telling her that it depended on which item she was interested in and for how long she needed the hold. She specified the item (which is a winter coat, so she should know that those are heavy to ship) and said she doesn't get paid until mid/late May, but then bought the listing today before I was able to respond to her about the hold and the shipping price.

If you want to be nice, tell her how long you're willing to give her and the shipping cost, and that because she bought before you gave her the OK if she can't follow your guidelines you'll leave negative feedback.

Or just treat it like she bought it as BIN (because you never agreed to anything) and send her an invoice. If she doesn't pay leave her negative feedback.

>>10384274 here with a fun update.

The buyer just messaged me back and said (in three separate messages over the course of 10 minutes so I got bombarded with e-mail notifications) that she's been dying for this coat for a long time but doesn't think she can justify the expensive shipping cost, so she's asked me to lower the price by £50.

Sorry you are having to deal with it. You'll have to give her the choice of paying or backing out. The high road would be to leave her negative feedback and then dispute if she slanders you, but the easy way out of not leaving her feedback also exists. You don't have to do what's best for the community at your own expense - no one will know.

I've messaged her back saying that her request is pretty unreasonable and pointed out that when you choose to purchase a listing, you're expected to pay full price + shipping. I also pointed out that what she did is unfair for sellers because anybody who had my listing in their watched item list is going to see it as "sold" now.

I'm going to wait to see what she says in response, but I'm fairly certain that I'm going to end up leaving her bad feedback. I really don't want her to do this to anybody else because it's been super frustrating to deal with.

Someone did this to me once and I didn't want the item so I just ate the huge shipping cost. Fuck buyers who do this!!! Leave bad feedback if they won't pay full price. I took a $50 loss on shipping but I also left bad feedback to reflect what happened. Fucking scammers should be embarrassed of themselves, the average seller who buys new brand is taking a loss every time they sell. The only time I sell at or above retail is if I have an item that's new or like new since I sometimes buy multiple colorways

I was appalled by the quality of the Hogwarts series (not official name) by violet fane. The fabric was relatively bad quality but I could have forgiven that, however the sewing and finishing was incredibly sloppy, and they cut right through the large owl picture in the print and of course it wasn't matched with the seam, there wasn't even a token attempt to make the print look good with where the seams went.

Hello, I'm fairly new to lolita fashion and I've been thinking of putting together a military inspired coord from stuff I already have: a tartan kilt, boots... and a leather bomber jacket. I think I could pull it off but I'm concerned the jacket might be too "out there".

While the example anon provided isn't the best and I don't agree with the aesthetic part because it looks like anon has a really narrow image of "military", you still need to have the silhouette part. Do you mean tartan kilt as a lolita skirt that has tartan print or a literal kilt? If it's the second, I'll advise you to make a normal coord first. And no, packing a petticoat under a kilt won't work.

She messaged me this morning saying she would buy the coat with the cheaper of the two shipping options. Then, about 15 minutes later, I got another message from her saying she's changed her mind, can't afford to buy the coat, and that she's sorry for the inconvenience.

Leaving her bad feedback now and relisting the coat. I hope none of you ever have to deal with this level a flakery, because this has been frustrating as hell.

I've think seen someone do a kilt wrapped around a jsk (or high waist skirt?) as some sort of half open overskirt, which looked really cool. Lots of lolitas use boots of varying styles also. But you might want to get a handle on some basic outfits before you start taking it more out there.

It's actually the skirt from an old school uniform, everyone called it a "kilt" back then so I unthinkingly said kilt, my apologies to everyone for not being clear.

The skirt ends right at my knees and the jacket is tightly fitted (I should have clarified that as well) so I think I've got the silhouette down at least.

>>10384473
If that outfit was the exact same but with the edition of a leather jacket, would it still be lolita or no?

Thank you for posting this, as I think it's good example of what I was already of thinking of in terms of my coord: black boots, military style hat, a dark collared shirt and tie.

Skirt's too short, sits too low on the waist, it's not the right shape, it cannot fit a petticoat, the coat is too long, you have no blouse or cutsew, no accessories, socks, or shoes, and this doesn't resemble lolita in the slightest.

It looks awful really, have you tried to wear it with a petti? Does it fit? Do you even have a petticoat? All of this could be possibly avoided if you have worn it with a proper petticoat in the first place. If you don't have amy real lolita pieces start with a petticoat that was made for lolita specifically, it's a rookie mistake.

That's a really good suggestion, I tried it all on with a blouse and petticoat but the jacket just makes it look too normie/like other jfashion

I don't have a decent mirror to take pictures with so that's why I didn't haha. I do have other lolita pieces (although my only petticoat is a shitty Bodyline one, I bet no one is surprised ha) but I was quarantine cleaning my closet and the idea stuck with me.

Obviously I went barking up the wrong tree by trying to make the jacket a focus of the non-existent coord as it wrecks the proper silhouette and strays too far into other fashion. Back to the drawing board and lurking for me.
