I'm really surprised at the wardrobe thread in rufflechat where most people are saying 1-5 main pieces is small and anything over 10-20 is large.

Everyone commenting must be new. Having only 1-5 main pieces is barely a wardrobe in my opinion. That's pretty much beginner level. I think <20 is small. Then maybe 60+ is large. Or am I just too wrapped up in lolita to understand reality anymore?

[Anonymous No.10501417]

>>10501415
i dunno i definitely have more than 20 main pieces.

[Anonymous No.10501422]

>>10501415
I think anything over 35-40 main pieces is a large wardrobe simply because that's about how many main pieces you can comfortably stuff into an average sized (not walk-in) closet without it being completely stuffed. If your lolita wardrobe takes up more room than the average sized closet, that's a large collection imo.

I wear lolita 1-2x a week but while I have a wardrobe that's entirely too big for me (about 100), I would think I could probably get by with 30 pieces to be fair, the turnover being 15 weeks or 4 months, which is very reasonable for a wardrobe. The problem is I just love this fashion too much.

BTSSBs full shirring skirts have always been plus sized friendly, but I find their pieces in general to have less poof than AP so be careful if you are very pear shaped or have large hips, you might find it fitting a little tighter than you think in the legs if you're also plus sized.

New US-based second-hand lolita store? Insta mentions something about formerly selling on lace market. I’m interested to see what the prices will be. If it’s the seller who I think it is, I’ve bought from them before. It was a tiny bit pricier than I would normally pay (like $20-$40) but it was readily available and they were super easy to deal with. And it wasn’t scalping prices, just a little tiny bit more expensive than what I could’ve gotten it for if I had spent months searching or waiting. But we shall see! Definitely looks to be mainly pastel sweet at this point. If I’m honest I thought about doing this. If your work sends you to Japan often or if you have close friends or family there, loading up on a ton of secondhand stuff from the shops in various cities there and selling here, you would probably be close in price to what it costs to buy from closet child or Alice girl. Don’t want this to descend into a fight about scalpers, but who is interested in this new store?

Isn't koko kuma Kokoro on LM? I think that's her fb name based on her selling that replica in a group one time. I don't dislike her for her mild brand and taobao scalping, I dislike her for her 15 negatives and the few interactions I've had with her being hella rude, that makes me worry the service will be shit.

Yeah that’s who I’m pretty sure it is, just didn’t wanna name her on here. She has some bad reviews, but they’re spread out over the years. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with her from the four or five things I’ve gotten from her

[Anonymous No.10501646]

>>10501643
I don't hate her but some of her claimed handmade stuff just looks like taobao and xianyu resold (the apron with the little puffballs in it and all, unless she used sewing skills to copy the xianyu style ones and make her own with domestic materials cheaper).

If she is just remaking similar styled items and charging typical handmade prices that isn't awful and I much prefer it to the reselling secondhand aspect. I always rather someone use their own creativity for profit rather than just mess around on the market, and if the products are good its more sustainable for her long term.

[Anonymous No.10501688]

>>10501656
I didn’t get that reaction from her, but I’ve never sent her a message asking about a dress. I’ve only purchased and then paid the PayPal request. It’s weird how different people can I have totally different responses from the same person. It is a little unprofessional because it implies that whatever is going on in her personal life is leaking out into her “business”. Hopefully with her own store people with issues will find it easier to get resolution or to get money back via PayPal. There’s nothing worse than having to file a PayPal claim for a damaged item from LM and PayPal just not getting lace market or not understanding the listings and where to find the TOS and just the general culture of lolita second hand. PayPal doesn’t seem to understand that these aren’t just secondhand clothes, they’re collectibles and while small damage would be fine if it was just any other dress, on a collectible item it’s a big deal and warrants a refund or a return. I’ve had dresses that were sun faded in streaks that the seller didn’t mention but because the seller said it was secondhand item which may show signs of wear, PayPal didn’t have my back

Agreed, especially solid colored KCs like pastels, red, white, and black that are actual nice cotton possibly wired headbows with a cloth covered headband that is ideally some sort of plastic that could be machine washed and air dried so rust wouldn't be an issue. Not sure how to accomplish wiring a headbow without metal but at least a non metal band would be nice so it can be washed more easily.

A plastic one just sounds like it'd break in a washing machine.
But I hate headbows, they always hurt my head after a few hours. I'd rather have a headbow with ties at the end instead of a headband.

[Anonymous No.10501785]

>>10501769

I doubt it would break if washed on a gentle cycle, and you could hand wash still but not have to deal with rush which you do now with metal even with handwashing. Any type of headbow or headband does hurt my head too (also berets), but I have just accepted I get headaches easily and live with it or choose a different headpiece because stuff with ties slips a lot for me. I have to sew wig clips into them to keep them up/

There's some ETC pieces that are about 50-55cm, which is more consistent with normal sizing in Japan. It makes sense, because ETC is not a strictly lolita brand and caters a lot to the normie market. Some older JetJ pieces are in the 53cm range as well.

Interestingly, looking at lolibrary, the smallest I could find for AP was 60cm waist back in the early 2000s, and even then most releases were 64+ and many had shirring. Their current releases are also running at about 62-64+, but they have a lot more shirring nowadays to fit the 60-80cm range. So at least for their skirts, the sizes haven't gone up quite so dramatically as gulls claim.

And BtssB has a lot of recent releases that have a larger min waist, 68cm or 70+.

[Anonymous No.10501987]

>>10501966
>>10501930

I honestly wish brands gave more detailed measurements than just bust and waist. The biggest change in AP sizing is actually their shoulder straps, which changes the length of the dress, which in turn changes how the dress sits on you.

Baby is another culprit, the older dresses may have very wide measurements but the length is usually for petite girls, and their shirring isn't the stretchiest. It's really one brand I advise anyone who isn't small and petite to be wary of, even when the measurements look like they'd "stretch" quite often it just looks like shit.

[Anonymous No.10501997]

Absolutely not interested and I hope this shitty trend dies. I can't stand that other western secondhand reseller store. There's a difference between these and places like Closet Child. CC buys stuff from lolitas who know they are reselling to a store for a profit. These companies just lurk the same sales we all do and snatch up items to resell tonus once again with a higher price tag. Basically secondhand scalpers....

If I'm selling my pieces I would prefer them to be bought by individual lolitas that want that particular piece and are excited about receiving it and wearing it. I don't care if they will resell it later on, but at least that item brings joy to that lolita in the moment. I don't want my stuff being bought by gross companies like this just to be resold to that same lolita for $50-100 more. Not to mention it shits up the pricing for everyone. They get theirs but fuck the whole lolita resale market.

Western resellers are just dumb. I get western firsthand sales like kuroshiro and stuff being a little pricey if for some reason you need to go in person to the shop to try on brand and all but it's being sold new, not fucking up the secondhand market and is just another option for people that doesn't involve worrying about international shipping or communicating with shop staff who may not be strong English speakers. The only people opening up these secondhand resale shops in the west are basically known LM scalpers reselling taobao pretending its handmade and upcharging on cheap brand they snapped up a little faster either via SS themselves or a friend abroad.

nta but I'm not sure if I trust your definition of what is old school "concidering" your spelling and assumption a dress even has to HAVE lace to be oldschool. Many dresses have no lace at all and the recent floral release is at least reminiscent of Meta's older floral pieces that often had raschel lace, not the cotton (I assume you mean torchon or eyelet) lace you're probably thinking of.

I always wondered, some people say they use replicas for making accessories they'd never want to cut up good brand for, like a mask or bag; has anyone ever used a replica as scrap fabric for an alteration of a piece? The only replica I've ever seen of a dress that I own the original for is Little Bears Cafe and the replica was so obviously the wrong fabric and texture and colors off that I can't imagine it blending well with another piece but maybe for others the fabric is close enough that if it's done in an inconspicuous area of a piece like making the straps longer or only on the sides rather than front center if re-cutting the bodice to make it fit a bigger bust, etc. would it be possible? It would be an interesting exercise for most common pieces or even just decent practice for making adjustments to brand without having to waste a real brand piece if you got it cheap.

[Anonymous No.10504764]

>>10504760
I own multiple colorways in the same cut of prints I really like. Mostly pastel toy prints; I tend to buy the pink and lavender colorways, and for berry prints the red and pink colorways. Some dresses are just really enjoyable when styled with different color palettes.

I have multiples of Misty Sky, they're really comfy and casual. Easy to coord, and can have totally different vibes depending on the color. Also have 2 of Milky Planet because I really, really like scallops. I haven't seen any similarly scalloped prints besides maybe the recent ice cream one from Baby. The sax is very vibrant and different from all my other sax stuff too.

[Anonymous No.10504788]

>>10504760
I have all the colorways of AP Loyal Rosette. The quality on the dress is amazing and I find the different color ways lend themselves to be coorded very differently, and not just different color palettes. Like the brown is effectively one color so I coord it more the way I’d coord a solid. And the blue always lends itself well to sailor themes, while the green is great for Christmas and regal type coords because something about that bright green really pops. The red is great for darker coords with but also eye-catching graphic coords with lots of black and white patterns. But basically it’s the quality. Every time I’ve tried to expand my collection to include other AP plaid or rosette prints they’re always worse quality so I sold it and turned around and got another colorway of LR. A re-release with a new colorway would be a dream come true

[Anonymous No.10504818]

I'm eyeing a third cut and colorway I don't have yet and was questioning if I should get it. It's nice to know other people have specific prints they love that much.

[Anonymous No.10504821]

>>10504760

I have a lot of these.

There's an old IW dress which I bought in person at their store, I was surprised that looked darn good on me, so I ended up hunting down the other two colourways. It's not a popular print and nobody would recognise it, it just looks darn good, so of course I got it in all the colourways.

I've tried to replicate that with a btssb dress but it's more popular than the IW one, so I only own the btssb dress in navy, black and brown. I really wanted another black so I don't have to worry about wearing down that colour.

I have multiples of some pony prints, usually because the second-favorite colourway came up for sale before my favorite colourway did, and then they look kind of cute together so I never sold the second favorite.

I have also gotten duplicate IW dress in random lucky packs, so far none in the same cut/colourway that I already bought, and I already like them so I kept both.

And then....there's Chocolate Rosette, of which I somehow own in 5 colourways. I only ever wanted the green, but it wasn't available in the first re-release MTO, so I bought pink (I don't know why). Then there was a special set in mint and the SS I contacted said it was probably impossible (but she still managed to get it, so I bought it). Then there was another re-release with the green included and you bet I bought it. Then for some reason AP did a special set of it and since CNY was coming up I bought the red. Then my friend remarked that red was really bright and difficult to wear and for some reason or another I ended up with the brown colourway too (red and brown both turned out to be the most often worn colourways lmao). This isn't even my dream print (except the green), I should just get my feelings sorted and sell off the extras at some point.

I own all the colorways of an old unpopular IW dress, too. I saw the first colorway come up really cheap (missing detachable items) and it wasn't my favorite, but I thought what the hell, and bought it. Then another color came up with all the detachable pieces, which I could also use with the first color I bought, so I bought the second one for that reason. Finally my favorite color came up (also missing detachable pieces), so now I have all the colors and one set of detachable pieces that can work with all three of them. I figure it worked out well.

There are lots that I want to collect because they have my favorite motifs and designs, but so far due to finances the only intentional one is AP Sheep Garden, of which I have 1 sax skirt and 1 black jsk. I do have a double of an IW print because I bought the cute cut from CC and found out it was an M size, then saw they actually have a less-cute cut in an L size which should be more comfortable; ultimately, the fit is so similar, I don't think the 2nd purchase was worth it. I also have 2 of a Liz Lisa OP with an embroidered strawberry motif I really like because I got my preferred colorway at full price and the other colorway on sale.

There are a few - it’s possible that with the growing acceptance of trans people more sissy fetishists are calling themselves “trans women” so that the woke brigade lets them stay in comms. If you call out a transwoman for creepy behavior that’s “transphobia.”

Moreso, a lot of comms are overflowing with transmen (who still wear makeup and dresses) and nonbinaries because apparently if you don’t enjoy conforming to sexist female stereotypes 100% of the time it means you’re not a woman.

Damn, big same.

It's so simple, too bad they can't even get the main part of it right.
If it's a printed item I usually prefer to buy it in store if it's first-hand, since I like to choose a piece that doesn't have awkward or wonky placement.
If it's secondhand at least you can see photos of the exact piece you're getting.

I used that service and it was terrible. I dejected the biggest box and they gave me a cutsew OP as my big main piece, and it was definitely a non-lolita cutsew, just by a lolita brand. Barely came down past my ass, zero room for a petti. And I was super broad, basically all I said was that I I don’t wear casual lolita so I did not want a casual coord. And they gave me a casual coord. They took like 4 months, too and in that time they sold plenty of dresses that cost less than I paid them and would have fit me. I’m still salty

I never implied anyone said it was impossible. I am a different anon than the original one asking about bots and was just giving my perspective based on what cgl posters say about scripts vs not and everything.

I can't handle the stress of rushing to checkout immediately upon updating so I just shop whenever and pick through leftovers, so I don't have any experience shopping at update times. I'm just going off of what other people have said in the past.

[Anonymous No.10507507]

I kind of have difficulty believing it's bots. Would it have to evolve some AI to realise which dresses were desirable or does it just buy up all the A-rank dresses or it's linked to a mini database ranked by desirability or it just tries to put random fugly items in the cart or...?

At least bots buying from AP webshop is believable, you know ahead of time what will go up and there's an obvious profit to be scalped later, but Closet Child.... idk, seems a bit high-effort just for some randomised secondhand stuff.

They may have it look for items using a preexisting list and setting parameters. Using something like lolibrary, you could make a decent catalog of things for a bot to look for. It may be why some items that aren't on databases sit around a little longer. There's a scalper on Y! auctions that often resells items that are on closet child for just a minute, so I wouldn't be surprised some people use scripts.
Also, I've see around 30+ very cheap (2000 yen or less) Qutie Frash items get bought in about a minute...and that seems a little...fast.

I honestly think a lot of lolitas nowadays would be much happier in the doll hobby.

I like the idea of dolls for customization and making tiny lolitas or tiny mini-mes but I'm afraid any cheaper ones I buy en masse will be recasts without me knowing or made out of material that I can't use a dremel on to change facial features.

Dolls would put me back financially way more than lolita. I just saw a Japanese doll that is out of stock but costs like $400 new that I love the design of. The last brand piece I bought was under $150
