Not sure if this is totally unpopular but I'm so, so, so tired of empire-and-above waist dresses being the default with most popular releases, not because I have cow tits or whatever, but because it looks so childish and ageplay-like. I know it may be fighting against the natural progress of the fashion and waists have always been pretty high, but I miss when you could have a new print dress that doesn't look like the shape was modeled after toddler sundresses.

How's it an unpopular opinion when hating sack/high waisted dresses get spammed in every lolita thread?

>> No.10386312

My opinion: there’s nothing wrong with a dress looking childlike or “ageplay”, and I wish that term wasn’t thrown around everywhere. It’s only ageplay if it’s a fetish, and a lot of “ageplay” designs people complain about are totally innocent. And if it’s about normies being more likely to view it as a fetish, then might as well not wear lolita at all, because it all looks like ageplay to some people anyway. I find it really hypocritical to insist lolita isn’t ageplay only to call any aspect of it that you don’t like ageplay

It upsets me to see jfashion girls on instagram interact with nymphette weirdos. Theres a prominent figure in the "nymphette" community who constantly speaks on the "fashion" like it's legitimate.

My unpopular opinion is that while keeping fetishes out of the community is nice and all, the absolute obsession with in the last year or so has gotten really old. You aren’t “protecting the community” by constantly talking about it, giving a platform and attention to the people you supposedly want out for the drama and deep diving into every person in the community regardless on whether or not they mind their business. After a certain point it feels like the goal isn’t to keep creeps out, it’s to keep the gossip machine going and it’s only fueling the fetish drama whores who are coming here explicitly because y’all won’t shut up.

Yeah that is pretty obvious. Sorry for going off on you specifically, but I’m getting real tired of the “BUT THE CHILDREN” gang. This is not new, stop acting like it is and don’t pretend like drama whoring about it is making it better (it’s not).

If for example they are like the girl in your post and are being very open about it or they are, our example, using photos of lolitas for porn purposes (which is horrifying and should always be called out) then yeah sure.

But I don’t need a fucking update on everyone who has a bdsm kink in the comm, thanks. It’s unnecessary, causes us to talk about sex way more, shits on people who really are minding their business and boundaries and gives the drama whores exactly what they want. 50% of CoF imploding is less on the mods and more on the circle jerk that’s giving people abusing the platform attention.

Thank you. I really despise that so many lolitas will go out of their way to dig into someone’s personal life and then cry innocence because “oh no!! An actual not vanilla sex life? How terrifying!” No one wants to hear about the dirty, but most of the time people cry ageplay or something they’re shoving words into other people’s mouth. Manners go both way: don’t talk about your personal sex life, don’t dig into others.

I don't have a problem with sweet, but I unironically think that the fashion should be split. As a classic/gothic lolita I feel like I don't have anything in common with most sweet lolitas, so they're boring to talk to at meets.

The lines between classic and sweet are easily blurred. This would get ridiculously nitpicky in the same way that cutting off gothic would get nitpicky with grey are classic coordinates.

No actually, that’s just you. I only ever hear ageplay/ddlg comments when I’m with sweet lolitas. We also get harassed much more when there are sweet lolitas in the group.

I don’t hate sweet lolita(s) but I have so little in common with them that it feels weird to get lumped in with them constantly. Sure there’s overlap, but there’s also overlap between lolita and other Jfashions and people have always been more than happy to create separate communities for those. At this point many sweet lolita coords have more in common with fairy kei than with classic or gothic lolita.

I feel this way too. Like, there is generally a very sharp personality contrast between classic/gothic lolitas and sweet lolitas (mainly referring to OTT here). I like and get along with a lot of sweet lolitas, but they tend to be much more extroverted and we just don't share very many interests. I wouldn't say I want the two sides to be entirely split, but I do think OTT sweets tend to get into the fashion for very different reasons compared to classics/gothics.

>> No.10386713

Something that came to mind from the topic at hand, why the hell do people call hanging out with a couple of friends a 'meetup'. It's not.
If you meet in a cafe and you all dress in old school as a theme, it's still not a meet. It's just hanging out with friends.

In my community I've noticed that most of the older and more experienced lolitas primarily wear gothic/classic and if they wear sweet it's more like a side-thing.

On the flip side of this, an anon got super aggressive out of nowhere and called me a moron for being sad about VM back when it was closing, insisting that IW solids should be good enough for me. I wouldn't go so far as to say IW is sweet but it's baffling to me that people can't at least see that VM/MM and IW are completely distinguishable brands with different aesthetics. Yes, there are similar designs, ideas get repeated in every substyle. No, that doesn't make them the "exact same dress." Things like material choices, design details, silhouette and tailoring can be subtle but go a long way towards the mature/cute distinction even if it's classic either way.

I guess it doesn't matter to someone who doesn't wear classic but it gets old having sweet lolitas treat your preferences as stupid and try to force things like this just because they personally don't get it.

They seem to think that dressing as they do makes them better and more sophisticated than other people.

When travelling home from my last event someone complimented our ‘costumes’ and was actually very nice about it. A bunch of us were wearing crowns and wings and stuff so it’s only natural she assumed we were in costume. After she got back to her seat one girl said, loud enough for the woman to hear, that her coord probably cost more than that woman’s entire wardrobe but you can’t expect yokels to understand fashion.

My guess is that a lot of these girls are attracted to lolita because it sets them apart from their normie peers. But then once they’re surrounded by other lolitas, wearing lolita isn’t special anymore and they need something else to differentiate themselves. The vast majority of lolitas are female so an easy way to stand out is to be non-female. It’s even easier than wearing alt fashion, since literally all you have to do is add they/them to your bio.

Not sure if this counts but I hate when sellers list two dresses together like in the pic. Quit being lazy and maybe separate listings, you will have better luck selling at least one than banking on someone who’s looking for both.

Sweet lolita stands out the most, especially for normies. When you see some random youtuber or "influencer" talk about lolita is almost always sweet. Recently I got Lor's video reacting to Black Friday's one on lolita, and as usual, it was sweet. And these normies(and weirdly some goths) always cry that it's not they style and somehow ignore the biggest secound substyle. It's by no means sweet lolitas fault, more like normies being ignorant as always. Besides Safiya, is there anyone who did a video on lolita and even acknowledged the existence of gothic or classic?

That's really an unpopular opinion, considering that polyester is breathable at all, so instead of cooling yourself down you are cooking in your own sweat.

It likely depends on what blouses you have anon. The AP cotton blouses I have all vary in weight. Cutsews generally are way too thick unfortunately, but they are really durable. But you can't tell what weight the fabric is from a picture online before you buy. The only hint you get is what season it was released.

Personally I've struggled with poly for blouses as I'm really heat sensitive being acclimated to Northern climates. Saying you live in a hot climate just means your body has adjusted to different temps and doesn't sweat when others would.

That's because sweet lolita looks the most different than other styles known to people outside the fashion.

A normie is going to connect most classic lolita looks to historical wear. And they're going to connect gothic lolita to normal goth style. I've watched It's Black Friday's videos before, and she's aware of gothic lolita, she's bought gothic "lolita" dresses in the past. But what's the point of doing a transformation video into gothic lolita when you're already goth? It's not a dramatic change to people unfamilar with the fashion.

But why would you make it worse for you and everyone else? Most children's clothing didn't even go up to the knee, so the shape isn't the same and in some cases it had low waistline, which didn't look like lolita at all

> Clothing for girls was, for a long time, just adult dresses but shorter or smaller, nothing else

This isn't true at all, while there are some similarities, young girls clothing had many differences from adult clothing. Not even mentioning the differences between how children styled their hair. The closer we get to the late victorian/edwardian era, children and adult clothing got more different. And dress shapes changed a lot during the many decades of the victorian era. Children also didn't wear corsets or shapewear, those structural garments are essential for historical fashion.

http://www.victorianweb.org/art/costume/nunn14.html

>The practice of dressing children in adult styles gradually declined during thc second half of the 19th century. Boys benefited from more convenient and comfortable clothes earlier than girls, who had to wait until the late 1880s before enjoying clothes as casy as their grandmothers' had been or which began to resemble boys' styles rather than women's, although there was a considerable current of feeling against squeezing girls into corsets during the 1860s.

Just say lolita takes some inspiration from historical clothing. You don't have to be specific. Especially when even classic is so far away from direct historical influence and blends together multiple different eras into one outfit, most historical fashion enthusiasts have no interest in lolita.

>In these photographs we can see that, while the general silhouette mimicked that of an adult garment, these clothes fit the children much looser than adult wear. Also, they have far less decoration than adult dresses. This shows that while people tried to mimic the adult fashion in children’s wear, the idea that children should have more room for movement, like Rousseau stated a century before, still had some merit.

Also its unpopular to admit, lest newbies think hellbunny is lolita, but the 50s/early 60s silhouette has far more in common with most lolita outfits than anything historical. Especially 1950s childrens clothing.

they tend to either leave you alone or throw a fit, which you're not obligated to do anything about. Sometimes it's funny and they'll try to convince some poor manager to make you talk to them, as if you work there or something. replace coffee shop with grocery store, park, etc, it doesnt matter. People will always want to make you give up your own time and energy to explain to them why you're such a weirdo freak as a tax for existing differently, but a simple no is always an option, and attempting to explain your fashion to the average braindead normie is a waste of time.They'll only absorb half of what you say and then mouthbreathe it to the next weirdo they see so they feel smart.
