Lolita general!
Questions? Answers!
Post some great coords!
What have you been working on lately?
What is on your wishlist?

And for the AP fans:
What do you think of Misty Sky?
Personally, I'm in love with it. I have never tacked something on my "dream dress" list this fast.

[Anonymous No.6381457]

somebody please explain this to me

i want it

It looks like bed sheets to me, so I'm not too thrilled about it. The socks are pretty cute though.

Fuck I wish Salopettes would look good on my body but I don't think they'd be very suited to a pear.

[Anonymous No.6381543]

I made a lot of money this month and I have a HUGE haul. Granted, it's all taobao and second hand brand, but I bargain hunted and I'm just reveling in my glory. Jkjk. But an AP ~set~ for $200? Yes please! BtSSB blouse for $19? OH GOD YES. The blouse only has a veeeery minor stain, too! I also bought 5 Baby post cards ($1 each, ily mbok), sax tea parties, chest binder so my boobs don't look ridiculous in cutsews, red BL shoes to match my AP set, and not very lolita, but a sailor shirt that is just so adorable I'm dying. I also might add a $40 Meta JSK in my colour, sax, to this all... Still not too sure if should put that cash away... but then again, it'll make the shipping more worth it with the other stuff I got on mbok... Blarg.

Also, I don't like the fabric used for Misty Sky but I LOVE the design for the OP! Like, if it was solid coloured, I would have that in my closet before you could even say "AP".

[Anonymous No.6381546]

Just bought Sacred Night.

I'm unsure if boots are heels would be better it's going to be about calf length. Boots might look better?

[Anonymous No.6381553]

>>6381543
That's a good fucking haul, wish I understood how to work out auctions. It's so confusing to me.

[Anonymous No.6381551]

I love the OP but it will probably only fit correctly on girls who are short so I am going to stick with the skirt :D

[Anonymous No.6381555]

>>6381546
I tend to like it with boots because it looks like a long wintery dress meant for sitting in fancy horse drawn carriages with velvet blankets and cute berets... XD

[Anonymous No.6381566]

>>6381481
thing is, i cant find stock photos of this... was it a special set or something? I've never even seen somebody wear it.

>>6381472
..somewhat tempted to find cloud bedsheets and make the dress

[Anonymous No.6381571]

>>6381412
Holy shit that series is awesome. Long sleeved OP is the best.

[Anonymous No.6381581]

>>6381543
the OP does have a really cute design.. but I think the print is a little too much.

[Anonymous No.6381589]

Misty Sky reminds me of a theatre backdrop, and not in the good way.

This dress is on my want list at the moment, but I kinda want to make it in velveteen and blackXpurple rather than lilac-lavender.

[Anonymous No.6381646]

>>6381604
Depends, is the skirt part A line or bell shaped? I usually prefer to use an A line anyway since it gives less bulk at the waist than a bell shaped one and helps avoid looking as pregnant.

[Anonymous No.6381672]

>>6381553
I use Japonica, all you do is send them an e-mail using the form on their site and BAM. They instant bid for you. (The form just has stuff like auction url, max bid, paypal or credit/debit card, etc.) But! I would only bid on something with less than 24 hours less if it's really close to Japonica's opening time, or while they are open.

[Anonymous No.6381754]

What are your opinions on wearing docs with Lolita?

I think if it matches the coord it can look really good, but I know some people don't like them because they aren't at all dainty

[Anonymous No.6381760]

Hey cgl, i've always wanted to get into lolita but i never really had the money (nor was I allowed to spend it on lolita when i had money). Now that I'm of legal age, I wanna start. Where would I begin?

[Anonymous No.6381768]

It looks cute with casual styles, biker jackets always look good with boots.

I adore misty sky. It's chiffon, my favorite, and I love all the colors. Can't wait to see the actual dresses in person. Am definitely buying.

[Anonymous No.6381815]

>>6381768
I've got sweet jam in black, and a pair of black and white docs. I've been thinking about pairing them with red or black tights during the winter, since we get snow up here.

[Anonymous No.6381874]

Is the JSK going to look any good on a bigger bust? Anyone have a similar dress like this and have a bigger bust? Pics?

[Anonymous No.6381996]

But they only do Yahoo Japan Auctions, not mbok.

[Anonymous No.6382000]

>>6381996
They do mbok

[Anonymous No.6382009]

>>6381996

They do mbok! You can't bid in real time, but they can still bid for you. You just fill out the "Place an Order" form instead of the auction one.

[Anonymous No.6382025]

Ew that print is ugly as fuck.

[Anonymous No.6382199]

>>6382009
That's strange, because I did that the other day and they were like "Sorry, we no do mbok" I dunno, maybe they meant something else :/ Like, meaning they're hesitant to bid on the item because it had a stain. (that's what Japonica said to me xD They were like "B-but! IT HAS STAIN.") Baaaaaaah, I really wanted to order from fromjapan toooooo OTL *cries in corner* Next time...

[Anonymous No.6382226]

how can you tell if the skirt part is an A or bell?

Sorry for my ignorant question.

[Anonymous No.6382246]

>>6381760
Don't rush. Develop your style before you buy. Follow quality blogs that know about lolita, and you'll skip the ita step.

A lot of people will suggest bodyline, but I don't. My bodyline dress stopped me from wearing lolita. I've had my bodyline dress a year longer than my first AP dress (which i've had for about a month) and have worn it the same amount of times, because my bodyline dress had shit quality.

I say browse taobao and mbok/Y!Japan. If you get a bodyline dress, make sure its PERFECT. Not "okay" or "cheap." I got my AP dress for under $100.

And if you can, get a lolita buddy!

I don't like buying AP dresses first hand because I can usually get them in the next year or two for a lot cheaper. But when I do see the price fall I am definitely buying!

I'm actually hoping most people hate it so that the prices will drop..

[Anonymous No.6382272]

>>6381781
Wat. 0% SS fees? Really?

Is fromjapan actually significantly cheaper than mbok? I feel betrayed!

Oh my anon! Since I value your opinion so much, please tell me how to improve! What is it about my style that bothers you so much? Is it the fact that I use emotes, or perhaps it's my sentence phrasing? Please let me know, since I want to conform to your typing style that you wish for the whole world to type in!

Don't just jump in feet first. Decide what styles you like and also what you are likely to feel comfortable actually wearing (e.g. OTT sweet may be a bit much if you've run around in black and dark colours your whole life). Then try and get together a single coordinate rather than buying random stuff because you like the look of it, or you will end up being frustrated having lolita items and no ability to make a lolita outfit. Whether you get brand/taobao/bodyline doesn't really matter, just make sure you know your measurements as clothes don't have proper sizes here, they just have measurements.

If using emoticons like xD and *verbs inside of asterisks* is so important to you that you feel the need to defend using them this fervently, perhaps you should return to the forum you regularly use where their use is accepted.

Emotes are acceptable when used very sparingly in situations where your intent could otherwise be misconstrued, but save the emoticon spam, "xD," and pseudo-roleplaying for IMing with your friends.

Ahh, yeah, the *insert verb here* was used as a way to prod the butthurt anon into more butthurt, but then I realized I made a typo with one of the links, deleted it, retyped it, and a little bit of my true typing style leaked through and I forgot to put it back in there. So sorry for your loss.
But now I'm curious... Do so many people on cgl/4chan have such a stick up their butt that they can no longer take a simple joke, or am I just mistaken?

"Joking" or not, typing like a preteen girl on an anime club on neopets is just not acceptable here, and it never has been. If anything, this board is actually a bit more forgiving than others of typing like a brain-dead egocentric blogger because it's full of girls. Try that anywhere else, especially on a board with higher traffic, and it would be even worse. Lots of people make this mistake when they're new so it's okay; it's only when you try to defend refusing to learn what's acceptable in 4chan's board culture that threads get derailed with this bullshit and it becomes a problem.

Okay, okay, somebody's getting a little snappy. I got the point and I was just messing with you for a while there. Also, like I pointed out before, I only type like that 0.001% of the time, and that's when I'm joking around, I'm sorry it wasn't obvious to you.
