I didn't get a response in the BL thread so I'll ask here too:

I've heard some people claim that cutting the lace off Bodyline pieces makes them look a lot better. I'm considering doing so with a couple jsks and a blouse. Anyone have tips for safely taking off the lace?

when lolibrary lists the "full length" of a bracelet is it only the colorful part or does it include the full length of the gold chain part at the end (for bracelets like pic related). My wrists are pretty small and lolibrary is listing the full length of a bracelet I want as 19cm which would fall straight off if that was the length of only the colorful part.

Hi anon! I have this bracelet and the beaded part is only about 17cm. My wrists are 14.5 ~ 15 cm and when I clasp it to the shortest possible "link," it doesn't fall off my wrists because the circumference of the beads kind of help take up the extra space. I hope this helps!

In the past I've always gotten messages from sellers within 12 hours, and I've always messaged buys within 3-4. But one time it took me a day and a half to contact the buyer because I didn't see the email, so I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to message them following up on the sale.

Have you checked your emails for an invoice? Some sellers don’t bother messaging and go straight to invoice and shipping. Generally I give 2-3 days as a grace period for sellers if I haven’t received an invoice, and then I reach out with the “just wanted to confirm my PayPal and shipping address! I can pay immediately” as a baited nudge.

I plan on buying some more lolita shoes I've always bought from brand but I've always been disappointed in the quality for the price I paid. Out of bodyline or taobao which produce better quality shoes or are they similar? And are there any taobao stores that do leather tea parties?

[Anonymous No.10425773]

I'm guessing the answer is "no" but in lolita is there any way to wear sheer tops with a skirt instead of a jsk? You'd obviously need to layer it with something but I can't imagine it not looking insane. Has anyone seen this attempted before?

Thicc anon here.

81cm waist
110 cm hips

Muscular arms, a bit thiccer than most gulls.

Wtf do I fit in? Is there a guide you can search through with your measurements just to see what you'll be able to fit? I've had my heart broken so many times looking through gorgeous AP, BTSSB, Meta etc. only to have the bust cut off at 94 cm or so. HELPPP am I just too fat for lolita?? I don't even look big in person because I'm well proportioned (5'5" and athletic) I've seen gulls way bigger than me fit in brand so how is this happening??? Can I ever live my sweet/classic/country lolita dreams? :(

Custom blouses for your arms, full shirred back panels for your bust and waist. You’ll fit in AP and meta easily As long as you make sure it’s not partially shirred. Jsks are your best bet.

>>10426556
it's hard to tell from the photo whether the ruffles are white or ivory. do make sure you know which it is so that the accessories don't clash.

the theme doesn't look very country, so I'm not sure that a straw bag would suit it - plus the straw could snag the fabric.

gold could also work as your shoe and bag color because of the gold frames in the print. and white/ivory like pic related is a safe choice.

If you’re browsing lolibrary, be warned: “Full Shirring” can mean different things so be careful. Sometimes it means the whole dress is shirred, which is a lot fewer options. “Full back Shirring” is the proper term, other people use half shirred or even partial shirred even if the entire back is shirred because they’re comparing it to address that has the entire bodice shirt such as Baby’s Shirring Princess
As a tip, a lot of popular AP prints came out with a “special set“ which was the same print in a simpler cut. It also often was more size inclusive with the back fully shirred if the original JSK cut was smaller. So when you’re browsing, don’t forget to also click “sets“ instead of just “JSK“

Shirring will be your best friend. I’m on the fit side too with similar measurements to you and more muscular arms as well, so look for blouses with plenty of stretch in the arms especially if they’re short-sleeved. Always look at measurements and keep an eye out for JSKs with full shirring in the back.

You have plenty of options for brand, I wear it. Just watch sales groups and be aware of shirring and measurements, you will be fine.

But AP skirts barely fit me, even the newer ones, so i stopped buying them. Baby skirts can be fully shirred tho.

It sucks that she scalps them but she only charges slightly above the regular price and she mails from Ohio quickly.

Sew ins don't last on nonblack hair, it's too slippery so the braids will unravel even if done tightly and white people's scalps in particular produce a lot more oil making it hard to keep clean. Shame, it's definitely the best way to wear hair long term. White people mostly use clip in extensions that get taken out at night or tape in/keratin bond extensions for long term installs on their hair. I don't know what's popular for other hair types though.

What do you mean by exaggerate? Over-exaggerate?
CC usually over exaggerates damages (the item you get is actually better than the description) but there's been a few items they screw up on every now and then. Some items even had missing/broken parts (they sold a broken Lyrical Bunny ring for $77 and didn't say it was broken) and it wasn't listed in the description. I feel bad people bought those things.
Wunderwelt is weird because they've shifted a bit. They used to overestimate damages just like CC.

it usually means part of it is solid. so like if it has a different colored yoke or something like that. not exactly half and half tho.

Would Chiffon Angelic Princess be categorized as classic or sweet?

In my eyes it's sweet, but I'm bias because I wear sweet. I saw a sales post refer to it as classic though and it made me feel odd. I don't really like classic-style pieces, unless I've been wrong this whole time. I always looked at dresses like this and thought, "Oh that would be good for shiro or hime."

[Anonymous No.10429762]

>>10429748
most lolitas, including yourself, have no idea what makes a dress classic or sweet or gothic or whatever. look at all those ruffles and bows, it's absolutely sweet. learn about the fashion that you're wearing instead of just immediately believing someone when they say something is classic. it doesn't need to be sugary carnival or whatever to be sweet.

I know that no sandals with lolita is one of the old timey rules, like don’t show your knees, that has stuck around, but I’ve seen some cute casual summer coords with sandals and no socks. What kinds of sandals available on the western market would look ok with toned-down classic lolita? I like Axes Femme sandals (pick related) but I can only fit their LL, which is hard to find.

Is it normal for AP bags to start peeling after a while? The one I own is starting to show it and some secondhand ones I see seem to have that same issue as well.

[Anonymous No.10430012]

How young? Lots of banks offer student credit cards, at least where I’m from. I got a card with a low limit pretty easily at 18 with almost no savings. If you’re a student, try asking about student cards?

Though it’s really not a good idea to go into debt over lolita.

[Anonymous No.10430019]

>>10430012
I'm 21. Its weird because I've tried to get store credit cards, though I know the interest is pretty high on those, simply because I'd heard that they are way less discriminatory when approving people. Still, unapproved just because I have no credit history. I'll definitely look into student credit cards though, thanks!

[Anonymous No.10430020]

>>10430008
Yes. AP bags are notoriously bad quality and not worth the money unless you're buying for quite cheap on the secondhand market.

[Anonymous No.10430023]

>>10430019
Just go to your bank and say you’re interested in a student card or card with a low limit so you can start building credit history. They’ll likely help you out.

I mean thats subjective whether it looks good or not, and there's plenty of people who like her stuff. I personally don't care for it but its childish to phrase it like they did. I'm just sick of people acting their personal taste is the decider of what should be posted here.

Obvious trolling is obvious trolling, but I can't belive people are still saying this shit when nearly every fucking community had the "skeletons out of the closet month", where it turns out people that were respected and liked turned out to be stupid asshats at best and ruining others' lives at worst. This month it's Smash, go check it out! Lolitas aren't even that openly bitchy, hanging out on 4chan and other chanlike sites may distort your view of the community, but like 80% of the people either wouldn't touch it with a stick or don't engage in ita threads.

I'm actually not trolling. I guess the way I phrased it does make it seem like bait. This is genuinely the vibe I get it, like there's a lot of backhanded compliments and passive aggressive undertones in the way people communicate in this community. Obviously that's not the case everywhere but I've just never experienced it anywhere else.

The conclusion I can come to is that in male dominated communities you have more overt assholes but in female communities its a lot of passive aggressiveness and subtle rudeness. Im not saying one is better than the other, just that its a different vibe.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair a cut on fabric? I just got this jsk that has what looks like a box cutter cut and I’m trying to figure out how to mend it. Stitching will make it too obvious so maybe an adhesive? The print is light tho so I imagine the glue would show and make it much worse. As of now it’s unnoticeable but I know laundering will be a challenge.

Should I take it to a seamstress?

First fray check the edges
Then get fusible interfacing and iron it onto the back of the cut like a patch, leaving at least 1cm extra on each side
It won’t cover it up but it will stop it from getting worse

There does seem to be some threading coming undone in the cut area. Should I trim them off prior to putting the patch on?

I haven’t come back here since I posted that, but is the last time Sapphira was posted here a few days ago really the first time you’ve seen her?
