I'm going to a costume party tonight and so I don't reveal my ~true costume~ before Halloween I've decided to cheat and just wear lolita and go as a "living doll". Any tips for achieving this, makeup/hair or otherwise?

Now is the time I wished I paid attention to the VenusAngelic and Kotakoti threads.

Lolita is not a costume

By putting on pounds of makeup, circle lenses and lifeless expression? oh a a possessive mother as your accessory XD

I'm using an IW dress in a costume, not being a Lolita.

Don't make lolita into a costume you dumb fuck

Draw the joints on your wrists or where ever your skin is exposed. You could go for more of a marionette look and draw lines on your mouth and chin.

What's wrong with using a lolita dress in a costume?

People dress as cheerleaders, jocks, goths, emos, punks, nuns, priests, old people, catholic school girls and everything else for Halloween. Why not lolita?

A costume is when you are dressing as something your not.

Nothing, really. I'm going to try to pull off pirate lolita

Lolitas are way too insecure about their own fashion. It's obvious people think it's a costume, people think more toned down things like fairykei are costumes sometimes.

Very true.

Not only that but it's hard to understand sometimes how they insist that it's "just clothes" yet it seems so important to them for people to understand that it's a fashion and everything.

We just want to wear something that we feel looks really pretty without having to hear snickers.

>> No.6358340

do you have any falsies? layer multiple pairs of those, as well as the concealer & eyeliner.

er, do you have any bodyline white dresses you wouldn't mind getting dirty? 'cos you could stain them with fake blood and go as a broken (guro) dolly

a long wig with himecut bangs would work too

Well isn't it obvious that people will think it's odd? Hell, some people think certain 'normal' clothing looks odd and make fun of that. I feel like a lot of you guys are too insecure, which could be why you rip apart other lolitas, and I'm not talking about ~itas~ I can understand that someone dressed badly or who sticks out even more than you yourselves could make you embarrassed since people already get the wrong idea about the fashion.

It would probably look better if she only wore one really extreme pair. She's not trying to go as Michelle Phan.

how is using a lolita dress in a costume any different from any other halloween costume made by pulling everyday clothes out of the closet? I know lots of people who do that for their costumes, it's cheaper.

I use my lolita in costumes because it's a lot easier than having to make a new costume every year and given the nature of the fashion, you'll get tons of compliments.

lighten up.

OP, here, 2 "living doll" tutorials that are actually helpful (but not in english)
>>6357898

and pictures of a more subtle big eye look that i do regularly. same technique but less... shitty looking IRL. doll look only works in photos and straight on, from the side it looks quite silly.
