I have a velveteen dress with elastic straps and have no idea how to store it
With clips I fear it might leave a mark on the fabric and folding may do the same

I store mine in a drawer but I think using a box large enough so that the headdress is not folded may be a good option, same for the nurse cap, it would stay flat and not leave weird wrinkles

Sew in hanging ribbons and hang it that way?

I’ve folded many old BTSSB and AP velveteen dresses and it’s been fine. Light creases can be steamed out really easily. Just don’t put anything heavy on top.

Seconding >>10844532, folding over the hanger doesn't leave permanent marks on the velvet and whatever is left can be easily smoothed out with a steamer and a brush head

How do people between substyles decide to style their wardrobe/room? Just personally what aesthetic they like the most? What they own the most of? Separate areas for each substyle? how do you make other substyles not stick out like a sore thumb?

I ask because I'm pretty split between substyles and not sure what direction to take. I have classic/gothic/ blk+wht sweet pieces and I'm not really sure what to do without making it a whole clusterfuck.

Could I have some cute inspo for storing/displaying necklaces?

>>10844972
As someone who likes many different styles, this is also something I struggle with!

Just choosing the one you like the most might be unsatisfying, because as someone who is also between styles that seems to change day by day for me. Trying to find a meeting point between the three that still appeals to your tastes could be an option. That being said, contrast isn't necessarily bad, it just needs to be carefully thought out. If you really want everything to be matchy though I'd suggest choosing a common color scheme that can still incorporate motifs and details that suit each style (ex. dark color scheme but really girly feeling decor/details). Adjusting how sweet-leaning or how classic/gothic-leaning your room appears would probably depend on the colors or details you choose.

To use myself as an example, my choice of decor is admittedly easy to balance since I'm a sweet & classic lolita and I love pastels & floral motifs in both styles. I have a lot of light colored, sweet-friendly items (like super pink bedding & pillows, stuffed animals, sanrio merchandise/cutesy knickknacks, mostly white furniture) that I like to balance out with more classic-friendly items. My desk, mirror and jewelry box are all dark wood, I have an antique tea cart that I like to display items on and use for storage, a lot of my wall decor is more landscape & flower paintings/vintage postcards, and most of my storage containers can be considered a little more classic than sweet (again, simple, delicate florals on light colored backgrounds on things like boxes, pen containers, etc.)

tl;dr mixing decor themes can be done well, it's really all about doing it carefully and taking into consideration how the items you choose balance each other out. If you're okay with things not being super matchy, cool, but think carefully how your decor interacts with other items you own.

I get the feeling most lolitas tend to stick to one substyle and update their wardrobe when they shift to a different one, but how many of you just collect what dresses you like, regardless of style?

Does anyone buy only dresses with a particular theme or gimmick?

Are there any dresses you had to have even if they didn't match anything?

Do you have a weird blend of styles in your closet, or one of those perfect capsule wardrobes?

Pic related, my wardrobe is gothic but I love the fast food gimmick.

I love a lot of different colours and themes so my wardrobe lacks cohesiveness. I accept that I'll never have a "truly" Sweet, Oldschool, or Gothic wardrobe like in the really lovely aesthetic pictures - so my issue is moreso versatility and coverage of all those colours/themes. This does mean needing to have a slightly larger wardrobe though, and less options for some of my dresses.

In fact for my solid colour pieces (which is most of my wardrobe) I keep a spreadsheet. So I don't have more than 1 black JSK, or white SK, or pink/white OP. Maximises my options.

I saw a YouTube video from a lolita who ONLY has mint chocolate dresses. I thought it was amazing how focused she was on such a specific style and how happy she seemed to wear it!

Thank you for your input >>10844986
I guess my biggest problem is that I change styles based on season. Maybe I should have some decor that can be replaced in spring/summer and fall/winter? Idk, maybe I'll go for a vintage aesthetic since I love grandma-type shit. Much to think on.

[Anonymous No.10845380]

>>10845367
Yeah, rotating decor based on the season is an option too! Though depending on how much you want to rotate out seasonally, that could pose a storage problem if you have limited space.
