I'm spending a lot of time trying to teach myself how to successfully shoe shop on the internet. I feel like investing more on my footwear since I'm not going to meets right now and that was always my weakest link (always a brand dress, off-brand accessories mixed with on brand... and the same one pair of mary janes with all coords). So far I've realized getting a "snazzy" shoe from American Duchess is probably a good idea... But where I'm struggling is where to find a good leather loafer? I wear classic so I think the Loafer is a good option, but I'm lost in terms of what brands to go for or what sub-style of Loafer to go with... Are the tassles more or less cute or elegant? Should I try for a black/tan two-tone or just the plain saddle-brown classic? How high should the heel be; standard flat or more raised?

>Are the tassles more or less cute or elegant?
Your choice, but I think tassels read more prep. So unless that's what you're going for, I personally wouldn't
>Should I try for a black/tan two-tone or just the plain saddle-brown classic?
Whatever works for your wardrobe, I guess?
>How high should the heel be; standard flat or more raised?
Unless your feet are tiny, flat will look bad. Low-mid heel is best for over all comfort I'd say

What's the best fb group to sell dresses? All the ones I see are flooded with WTBs that push the sales posts down.

[Anonymous No.10461333]

>>10461300
Personally agree with >>10461303, but I would also recommend you pass on two-tone shoes for now and get some shoes in a single colour first, because that is what will be easier to coordinate.
Shoe brands wise, I recommend Ashinaga-Ojisan. The tend to offer shoes with a chunkier heel and a rounder toe which looks a bit cuter than western brands. Most of their shoes are full leather as well.

Gauging interest in a WTB/WTS website.
>buyers can list what they're looking for but must list a specific price
>all transactions would take place through lacemarket
>searchable by print or dress name, brand
>potentially keep track of previous accepted offer prices

Really, it's just a way to connect potential buyers to sellers in a more organized and efficient system than flooding FB groups, depop, and BST threads with WTBs. I came across a website just like this but for hypebeast shit and I thought it was a great idea.

[Anonymous No.10462006]

>>10462003
I like this because I see wtbs but I don't waste my time on them because I don't think the person will offer the price I want. It would be nice to already know.

[Anonymous No.10462007]

>>10462003
Interesting. How would multiple WTBs on the same dress work, though? From a selling perspective, I'd sell to the highest offer only. There's a risk this would drive up the secondhand market prices even more (Rainies would have a blast).

[Anonymous No.10462008]

>>10462007
That is interesting. I bet scalpers would start looking for less popular dresses that way.
I assume on your WTB you could say a price you are willing to pay if you want.

[Anonymous No.10462010]

>>10462008
>>10462007
Maybe the form you fill out to post can average the offered available for that item and suggest a price. Obviously, that doesn't stop someone from throwing money around, but it gives people a little bit more of an idea of what a reasonable offer is.

Calm down, I am not a scalper. I am agreeing it is a flaw.
But if two people want the same dress that seems like how you would handle it at first glance.

>>10462010
Maybe instead of that you could have a system that when you put something up for sale on LM it alerted everyone who has a WTB post on the site.
You could use a web scraper or have sellers manually put it in.

Don't listen to that anon, proposing new ideas for the secondhand lolita market is absolutely a good idea. It's true that LM and FB sales groups have had an iron grip on selling since the fall of LJ, and both of them have flaws that could be improved upon. Keep at it, anon.

[Anonymous No.10462024]

>>10462022
Thank, anon. I am not even the person who proposed the site. I was just passing by and replying to their idea.

I think if someone wants to try it that might be cool. If it doesn't work they got some experience coding a website. I think people overestimate how much of a commitment it is to make these ideas happen.

[Anonymous No.10462025]

>>10462018
>it alerted everyone who has a WTB post on the site.
LM already does this though...? It sucks because it's delayed, but if you have a saved search, it's the same thing.

In general I have no interest in seeing 100 WTBs for Milky Planet or whatever. It's just going to give scalpers even more information into what pieces are "in demand." Easy to quantify information, too.

You could lock it so that you only see WTB for you’re WTS and vice versa, rather than having it be an open search. It would still connect people but would stop scalpers from picking up wind that a random dress is getting popular. In order to know that they would have to have the foresight to list said dress as WTS. You could cap listings too to stop spamming.

I totally agree, and otome is an easy way to identify a certain look. At this point we all know it’s not a “real” thing, but we also know what someone means when they say it so I think it’s a useful term.

It’s gotten to where anytime someone even says otome i assume they’re trying to start the whole non-argument again. It’s a shame and also very frustrating because it really doesn’t matter.

Anyway i feel like I’m contributing to future derailment by even mentioning it

That’s really interesting and I actually makes a lot of sense. When I hear Otome I have a certain interpretation in mind but that may not be what other people think of. Especially since it can cover anything from “soft lolita” looks to non-lolita milk/etc/jm coords.

VM seems to have taken out their Stripe Marine series from their reservation page, but didn't release it on their website or post about it at all.

I moved all of my lolita clothes into a spare closet at the start of the year. I have just brought it all back to my room. I have a shitload.
I’m going through an aesthetic identity crisis at the moment and I thought having all of my clothes in one place could help me to decide what I want to keep. But there’s just so much. I’m separating out items that are much too small on me and these I will just sell, but the rest of it is a bit of a struggle.
I cannot figure out my “style”, the clothes I wear everyday are based around what I find most comfortable to wear. I barely wear any of what I own. But I collect things like lolita pieces and also locally made and/or designer items. I want to start dressing well again but not sure if I want to wear lolita every day like I used to. I really have way too much clothes, it does not fit in the space I have and I need to start making decisions.

Any advice or resources out there?

Do the thing where you put all your hangers backwards at the start of the year and see which hangers are left untouched at the end of the year. You can keep a few exceptions like a particularly rare dress, but if you didn't wear it for a whole year then you generally don't need it. I keep trying to find a theme or aesthetic like all the trendy people, but I gave up and decided my aesthetic is variety. I want something entirely different every day. So don't feel pressured to keep only one color or only the comfortable dresses. In fact, you could get rid of ones that are too similar to others instead.

Make outfits! The best thing for me to do is to use stock photos and collage outfits out of what I already own. Then I end up seeing what items I will actually use and what kind of sticks out as not working.

KonMari I felt you are overwhelmed.

But if you are feeling ambitious, build an inspo folder, go through it and start noting patterns like colors, pieces, themes, etc. Try it for your own coord photos, too. Everyone has aesthetic preferences even if they aren’t aware of what they are. Don’t worry about committing to anything, just notice patterns.

Then when you have an idea of what those patterns are, pull out what clothes you own that fit that description and build a little capsule wardrobe or two. Store the rest and see what you miss, if anything.

[Anonymous No.10463556]

>>10463246
I feel this. Everything makes me happy even if I don’t wear it often. I have been challenging myself to cut down slowly. First, I moved the things I was questioning the most to a different room. I like having them in a different space to look at them a bit out of context and decide if they are really beautiful to me outside of my collection and if I think I will seriously get use out of them. I have told myself to make a decision about at least one item from that space at least once a week but I’m finding i decide much faster. Maybe because they are taking up space in a more noticeable way. They’re not shoved in my wardrobe mixed in with other things I love, they’re staring me in the face when I go into that room for something useful. It makes me feel encouraged to sell them and free up space. Once I have decided about this first lot (which were my most obvious questionable items) I will try and select more items to move into that space.

Maybe this a dumb/weird process but it’s really working for me so far

Believe it or not, the way to break an addiction (and yes, hoarding is an addiction) is to just fucking do the thing. Yes, you might need to develop other emotional supports around it but just hoarding in a slightly different manner is not the same as developing a new coping mechanism. They don’t have to sell everything, but they should sell what you call the “obvious questionable items” and, as the kids say, cope

[Anonymous No.10463630]

>>10463620
As someone who comes from a long line of hoarders, "just do it" actually seems to work. The key is avoiding letting yourself think about if you'll regret it. The whole "sparks joy" thing is based on this, if it doesn't initially make you happy, it has to go before you doddle on it. Though selling is kind of a problem in a hoarding case because getting it out of sight, out of mind is the most important part. I don't think the original anon is a hoarder, but anyone in that situation may want to get a friend who will hold and sell the items for them. (It's best to explain to that friend all the details of selling initially so there is no further discussion until the items are gone that would provoke the worry of regret.)

A bit off-topic but that's the part I don't understand with lolita hoarders. In the cases I'm aware of, the person barely even looks at let alone wears most of their wardrobe, they just let it stay almost untouched between tens or even hundreds of other items. Isn't that basically already like forgetting it and it being out of sight? When they haven't cared for it or barely gave the item attention/wear in all that time, why does parting with it become an issue as soon as they think about selling it?

Some people have an issue letting go. They may not wear it but once you get to the idea of that they should sell they get stuck on that and make excuses. Some people fear that it may be needed later on, some people will find excuses for it (in this case say they will wear it even if they wont) or attach feelings to the dress that isnt there. Selling can also be daunting since it isnt as easy as just donate it locally.

Mental illness isnt always understandable or logical. and Im saying this as someone who deals with family members who hoard, its really hard to get them to go through things and do something about it. Once you put meaning and hopes into objects its hard to separate them.

It’s unfortunate because as someone who has struggled with a couple different addictions, I am entirely sympathetic.

If you have a mental hang up you can’t get past, you have to just force yourself to do it and adjust to the fear and pain it might cause. Eventually it will get better, but in the short term there is no baby gloves option. That’s the only way out.

Weird question I thought goes more in general then anywhere else:

What's the weather report on buying Lolita right now? I've had a lot of time this year to go through my stuff and I have a handful of things I could pass along (brand main pieces) but I'm in no "rush" to do it now or later. I kinda prefer posting and selling on LM within a reasonable time frame and have, in the past, not bothered to re-list things that just don't seem to sell... SO is right now a good time for me to sell or should I wait until after lock down when maybe the market will move faster?

Now's a great time, it's a seller's market. Everyone's cooped up with money to spend and nothing to spend it on but clothes, prices are going crazy. Of course, though, it depends on what you have to sell. AP prices are particularly steep at the moment I think (but I'm not interested in AP so I'm just going off of what anons say here).

... You guys know that they do several polls a year asking people to directly tell them which colors to make which shoes in and in which sizes right? They are an eco-conscious company that tries to limit their footprint by using the poll data and e-mailed suggestions to NOT produce too much inventory. Meaning, when they do their pre-orders they'll count how many in which color and size are ordered and then order extras in those options to try to meet future demand... So if you never email... Or take part in the polling... They might not produce the item you want.

I guess you shortly replying with tangential came off as an unnecessary quip and not productive. You do have a solid point that they have some larger pieces, but even if they didn't its fine.

To get back on topic, do they do the MMM thing where they list everything as an arbitrary incorrect size, or are there just larger pieces from them people are less aware of?


I fit fine in, for example, straight sized Baby or even VM but am not comfortably 4cm below any MM that I've seen. Should I stick to the assumption that they won't fit me and move on? Or is it worth risking?

It's a mix I find. The ones I've gotten were either true to size or slightly bigger than listed, by maybe a 2-3cm. I've heard from that their shirring is very inconsistent though. I had friends who bought the same dress from the same release, and there was something like a 10cm differential between the max bust/waist size on the dresses.

Fellow tall-ish lolita (and avid MM collector/wearer) and I find their OPs and skirts are far more forgiving than their blouses. Of course, this is multifactorial (later releases are more forgiving in general, fitted vs corset, arm style, etc). MM is also decently good at having additional favric allowance that can be let out by a tailor. But as the previous anon said, if you fit unshirred VM, MM shouldn't be an issue.

Also good luck finding blouses, they're harder to come by than main pieces.

[Anonymous No.10464613]

>>10463767
I can speak to this a bit. I'm fully aware of what's in my wardrobe even though I wear my stuff at best once or twice every one or two months just because the opportunity for me to do so is limited either by my "laziness" or occasion to do so. So when it comes to weeding things out, I tend to sort things out but they sit in a pile before I muster up the energy to shove everything onto LM in one go.

It's not really out of sight, out of mind for me because I maintain a picture file of all my main pieces and a rolling spreadsheet of everything lolita I own, but it definitely skirts hoarding behavior as well.

ngl farutetto has grown on me over the years, even if I didn't like it too much initially. And while I'd love for rereleases of shit like mille rose, custard rose, flower basket or rose basket I dunno how much faith we can put in any of their printed stuff given how their rep on that took a nosedive even before the last snafu or things that relied on specific types of fabric being still available. Or if any other markets want those as much, for that matter. It makes sense that they'd keep shitting out stuff that sells.

I think they'll follow VM and make their clothing a little larger, by 5 cm or less. MM's later releases were already at 90 cm bust so I think the trend of increasing sizes will continue.

Tangentially related, a lot of coords posted after VM announced their closure looked a little tight. I wonder if that played a part in their decision to increase sizing.

I mean sure, but why not just make them fabric shoes instead? IIRC Pompadour and Antoinette were both fabric. It just seems odd to offer leather boots in weird colours but not in common ones.

I've seen this top advertised on a nearby college's classifieds as a Liz Lisa Sweater, but the only tag I can see is "L". Is this fake? The seller has some actual axes femme pieces for sale, so I'm a little less inclined to think it's fake, but am curious.

Long shot here but does anyone have or know someone with AP's Marionette Girl OP or JSK? Any colorway is fine--

I need close up detail pictures of the brooch bc I bought a jsk without one and am going to remake the brooch clips from scratch, but I can't tell what material the embroidered playing card is made out of and how they specifically did the tulle bow.

Detail shots of the brooch would be VERY MUCH appreciated if anyone can provide any; I looked through old LM listings and the photos are all either too far away or out of focus.

Tysm! I have several applique pieces from AP and their appliques always range so wildly in material from felt to pleather to cotton so I had no clue.

If you are able to describe the tulle bow or have any photos that would also be a huge help, I can't quite tell how they sewed it. (ie if the ends of the tulle are raw or if it's double layered and the edges are folded, if there's a center piece on the bow, if it's the flocky tulle or just a plain tulle, etc)

I find a particular kind of joy in fixing and repairing things to be as close to their original state as possible, so I get really anal about dumb details like this. Sure I could make it look however but I would be dissatisfied with that any time I wore it, personally.

I've done some other restoration work on other pieces and accessories and I just enjoy getting as close to the original as possible; I don't have any plans to sell it.

[Anonymous No.10467033]

Cause it clogs the tag when we all know jewelry doesn't need to fit your tits, hips, arms/shoulders, etc. If you're plus sized by lolita standards you're looking for pieces to go on your body that fit specific measurements, not jewelry that fits anyone not horribly obese or bloated.

Leave the tag spamming on depop.

They tried. Eternal Carnival and Dolly Cat got two different jsk cuts each. The low-waisted is the slowest to sell out.

Meanwhile they also make a lot of high-waisted special sets because it uses less fabric, and girls buy them because it's cheap, so they make a lot of high-waisted special sets.

I think that neo AP's fabrics just really don't suit low waisted cuts as well as high waisted cuts, so there's a feedback loop where their low waisted cuts don't sell well so they move away from suitable styles.
