I've finally gotten into Lolita fashion after getting to an 18.5 BMI only to discover I have a long torso with a wide ribcage so a lot of brand OPs and JSK bodices end up like baby doll cuts on me despite being 5'4.

Not posting in that thread anymore, because OP is crazy(even though she will probably follow me here and argue since she has nothing better to do) but I hate obvious newfags who think they know anything about older lolita styles. They read something once and then get stroppy at anyone who tries to explain they're misinformed. This is part of the reason so many newbie lolitas have no idea what's going on, the people teaching them also don't. Fashion styles persist because they are unique from other styles. If we keep letting newfags rewrite history to suit their tastes, lolita is going to just become generic jfash, and brands like AP are already veering into that territory, AP looks nothing like other brands anymore. It's just so disheartening.

I found out recently that 2/3 of my comms leaders/mods are “age regressors” and have social medias for their “agere” so I need to figure out how to split the comm into just the cool ppl so I don’t have to associate w that shit.

I don't understand this. I know their argument as to why they participate in this usually boils down to "I need it to deal with trauma", but if that's the case, why publicize it? Why be part of a community that's rife with latent pedos and other unsavory characters? I just don't get it. I'm sure there are people who legitimately use it as a coping mechanism in the comfort of their own home, but your comm leaders sound exactly like the type to start sperging out in public.

I’ve made a Lolita friend a year and a half ago and I think she’s slowly but surely becoming a best friend. I just didn’t know things like this could happen to me, and we’ve even started twinning our dream dresses (because surprise we have the same DDs). We have the same taste and wear the same size so we swap back and forth and have mini fashion shows for ourselves all the time.

I'm a little worried I'm going to get cucked out of another con. I had to bow out going the Katsucon this year because I had to move my elderly father. I'm not complaining about doing my duty just sucks the building I moved him into gave us like a weeks notice. So I had to cancel on my friends last minute.

Fast forward a few months I'm trying to get a new job now and if it don't get an offer in the new few days it would mean starting the 2 week shot clock later and it would go right over when ACEN is. I also have to leave my current job on good terms bc I've worked here for 10 years. most of my references are going to be from this job so I can't really afford to alienate them. I'll be at the con no matter what it just sucked I might loose days I paid for because I didn't hear a final decision sooner. Then if I start this job later I won't have the 90 days to call off for cons in autumn. I just keep getting cucked. A part of the reason I'm getting antsy is one of my friends got his work visa and is going to go live in Japan next year and I want to spend time with him and his wife before I don't see them for three years.

Well gulls, I give up. Been trying to get my partner interesred in ouji or EGA the last year so we could match one another, but it didn't work out. Very sad.

I spent so much time trying to work within his sense of style but I think he just didn't want to do it and was afraid to tell me no because he didn'twant to disappoint me. Except him rejecting every idea I explored for months just made me feel inadequate and like me and my hobby isn't good enough for him. He's a really nice partner. I just wish I was able to enjoy this hobby with him.

It seems like he doesn't enjoy spending time with me outside of relationship stuff like dates and sex and cuddles very much anymore. Those things are nice but we started dating because we were good friends and I want to basically continue to be friends in our relationship too, but it feels like we aren't anymore. Nothing is bad or anything and it's not the end of the world that he doesn't like jfashion the same way I do or isn't ever in the mood to do weeb stuff or play video games together, but I am really sad at the moment.

I've been seeing a therapist for a little over a year until very recently, when I realized she wasn't helping me and wasn't a good professional in general. Sadly, I can't afford to continue even with a different therapist, and I'm in the middle of uprooting my entire life for a cross-continent move. Medication didn't do much other than help regulate my emotions somewhat, so I'm feeling a bit lost and dejected at this point.

My relationship with my current partner is failing and I’ve fallen out of love with her.

I recently gotten back into Lolita after not being into the fashion for over 5 years and now suddenly she’s really into it again too.

She admitted she’s jealous of one of my favorite characters and hates when I talk about him because she feels insecure that she can’t be like him.

It’s just exhausting and I’m in a cycle of abuse from her. I’ve tried to leave twice now and both times she manipulated me into staying.

I found someone else I really like who understands the position I am so I’m hoping he can help me leave.

My self worth has spiraled downhill because of the past few years and Lolita was one of the few things that got me to value myself again, and I don’t want it to be ruined by someone who gets jealous over my fictional characters.

The idea of being part of a community was a major drive for me to get into cosplay first and later lolita fashion. And now that I finally have the financial means to splurge money for the hobby, I feel like I couldn't care less with getting in touch with other lolitas. I'm in a couple of groups on various platforms and feel like I don't vibe with the people there at all, including the comm in my area. I guess in the end it's just naive to think wearing the same style of clothes would make a decent base to forge friendships...

This, it’s so frustrating. Every time I’ve gone to a salon or a makeup counter they try to make me look like a Kardashian or an instagram baddie when all I want is to look cute. Full bangs look good on me but hairdressers keep trying to talk me into something more trendy. Ma’am have you seen how I dress? And you still think I care about being trendy?
I just cut my own bangs now and only go in a few times a year for a trim, but it’s still a pain in the butt.

>>10764606
I often feel this way when I’ve spent too much time on social media where nearly everything is OTT and styled to look good in photos. My coords look fine in the mirror but then feel underwhelming once I take a photo because I’m comparing that photo to the ones I see online. The best “cure” for this imo is to attend an irl meet-up. Carefully thought out but non-OTT coords with well done hair and makeup look much better in person whereas the flashier photogenic coords tend to look off when you see them irl, kind of like when you see an actor in full costume up close instead of on the stage.

At any rate there's a difference between hiding your power level, and straight up denying when asked that you participate at all in something that is actually a major interest of yours. That's just weird and a bad way to start any kind of relationship. I don't run around telling everybody about anime but if someone asks what I did over the weekend I'll mention watching some Bleach or DBZ.

I am a sad, bitter and resentful individual. I cope with humour. Archetypical heroism really speaks to my heart.
I am working on a reboot pitch. At first I intended for a tonally similar story that would hopefully inspire in others my feelings for the original. But the more I work on it the further I move from it. I have introduced new characters and rewritten the old ones. It is starting to resemble the modern reboots that everyone complains about, myself included. My humour and my bitterness are sipping into it as well. I hate the world with everything that hurts in me. The pitch is becoming my attempt at a rebellion. To inspire children to be different so that this world I hate so much might change one day. My message has to do with overcoming the effects of childhood abuse, learning humility, and seeking wisdom from others.
Idk if I should continue like this, go back to my original idea, or scrap this pipedream. At least I'm doing something fun that keeps my mind occupied.

I used to always bring a picture but that didn’t really help. They’d still complain about it being outdated and ask if I didn’t want an “updated” version of “essentially the same cut” (which I did once and regretted immensely because it looked like shit), or they’d agree to cut my hair like the pictures but grossly misinterpreted them, or they’d try to convince me that it wouldn’t look good on me because my face or neck or hair type or whatever didn’t look exactly like the model. One women point-blank refused to cut my hair like the picture because the model was half-Japanese and I’m white. My hair is completely straight but apparently straight bangs only work on hair with Asian DNA?

Honestly I’m super burnt out on hairdressers. They never listen to what I actually want and always think they know better, but even if I give them free rein I leave with a mediocre haircut at best. Plus they’re often really rough with my scalp and even at the higher-end salons they often have nasty acrylic nails that my hair gets stuck in so a salon wash and cut can hardly be called a luxurious experience. And it’s expensive as hell, for what? Yeah I’ll just do it at home thanks.

That was worded badly because I was trying not to tl;dr too much, what I actually did was first message support through an email form on their webpage, with the gmail listed as my email address. That one received no response. Later I sent a second support message listing a different email (partly to test my theory, because forms like that usually give an auto-reply) and sure enough that one immediately sent an automated reply to the second email that my support ticket was received. So it looks like for some reason the gmail address is not receiving any of their automated emails.
They are closed now though so any further manual replies won’t be for a couple days.

Yes. And the one with the by far most aggressive marketing. Lots of lolitas with an at least somewhat decent following on various social media platform received stuff from them for promotion purposes. On top of that they're also by far the most expensive reseller out there, sometimes charging up to double the original purchasing price.
