Note that the detail photo also shows a corset and bolero/chiffon jacket. So that affects the way the JSK looks. It's already a drop-waist/long bodice design, however, so the corset actually doesn't hurt.

Not in the least, but corsets worn with lolita often squish down the skirts. The fact that it's drop-waisted already means that the skirt isn't hindered.

not unless it's pulling on the roots. Common sense dictates that tension on the roots will make your hair fall out faster. If your bun/plait is super tight, then yes. If not, then no.

Well like I said, I have both; the jsk is actually not that dropwaisted on me and I think I actually wear it more likely for that reason (plus the dealing with less layers).

But imagining it with a plain hem... I don't know, even as a drop waist I think that'd look strange? Because then it'd just drop off the edge into the skirt

[Anonymous No.6683300]

Do all the versions of it have that ruffle? I'm not sure why you need a hem on a bodice anyways.

I'm really not trying to argue with you though, I'm sure it looks lovely on you.

[Anonymous No.6683313]

>>6683300
Of the bodice? I can only imagine so; mine does- I got it secondhand so I wouldn't know as far as any custom requests the first owner made but I can't note any differences from the stock image.

The JSK I also got secondhand and I had it altered to fit better which is the culprit as far as the waist; it's still dropped somewhat, but not deeply. Waist is about bellybutton-low on me? The JSK doesn't have the ruffle at the waist, if that's what you meant. The skirts are exactly the same on sk and jsk though.

Nah it's cool; just talking design elements.

How long are you talking with "medium length"? French plaits are nice for medium length hair as long as it's not too layered, either double or single, and I also like looped braids or having small braids as a focal point.

I don't think it's the braiding, more that you're putting it in a braid/bun wet. I have long hair so sometimes when I'm too lazy to blow dry, I braid my wet hair after a shower and sleep on it, and it's definitely frizzier/grosser until the next time I wash/dry it.

I wouldn't wear my hair in a bun to sleep though, that sounds really uncomfortable.

Well obviously you can do all sorts of crazy things with human hair, especially when it's no longer attached to a sebum-producing scalp or being slept on. They still make it so you don't need to spend 2 hours in front of the mirror each morning or damage your own hair.

I dont wear wigs because I have way too long hair for that stuff and now that I see that people are buying and wearing wigs of my hair type..I feel more like it is okay to wear natural? But then I feel like I should style it more on top of that but I never know how to.

Hope a self post is ok. This is the first time I tried to do a crimp style by braiding sections of my hair while wet and letting them dry naturally for a couple of hours and then running a hair dryer over the braids for a bit. I think it turned out ok, but I really think sleeping on it would turn out tighter waves (so having the braids dry naturally completely)? Not sure, I should have looked up a tutorial I think, haha.

Hope anyone doesn't mind the self posting, but I used my real hair + some extensions for my Vampire Requiem coordinate. It was horizontal two toned (gyaru inspired) at the time.

She looks perfect, very elegant and she's great at what she does. I guess the way that I would look at it is that she plays it safe? Like, she got it right and now she's plateaued, but I really want to see her push the boundaries a bit more.

She looks like a model that you would see on one of brand websites. Maybe that's just how Classic is, but I want to see more creativity from her because I think she could really pull some awesome stuff off that a lot of other people otherwise couldn't.

>>6697666
No, but it certainly helps with outfits in certain styles given that some of the sources that lolita draws inspiration from came from a time where women had long hair, so it's easier to think of long hairstyles that go with the outfit. Lolita is also associated with being frilly and very 'feminine' as is long hair. Plus long hair is sometimes like "wow" because of the effort that goes into growing it.
