I don't really like the all mix with lolita and tumblr fashion, heavy make up, retro hairstyle, huge flowers all over, tattoo tight and designer shoes. I think it din't really match the lolita aesthetic and make lolitas look really older. It's too much, too costumey.

I think lolita is gross and unflattering and I totally understand why anyone is mocked in public for wearing it. And every one that wears it is dumb.
My honest opinion, never even said so on /cgl/ even though I've been coming here for years.

>> No.6981362

I kinda dislike the need for categorization in lolita.
Like, every thematic style needs to be labeled and needs to have x-y-z elements.

It sounds like hipster, newfag bullshit (and I do realize those terms arose out of necessity sometimes), but I honestly feel like it kills a lot of the spontaneity thats necessary for creativity. Especially with clothes.

I wish lolita was a a bit more flexible with labels, basically.

Those fucking flower hair crowns.
I don't mind accessorizing a hairpiece with flowers, but why fucking flower hair crowns? They make people look like hippies. Bonus if their overall coord has NOTHING to do with flowers but they toss on a flower crown anyway.
Worse yet it's seeping into even normalfag fashions now. Looks like a florist is raping everyone's face.

Ah, true that.
Actually, I'm japanese and have always looked at bodyline like milanoo. It has such a bad reputation here because of Mr.Yan and the replicas they made. My friends and I never buy anyhing here except sometimes shoes. When my friend started wearing the fashion it was pretty standard advice to say "go on mbok and buy meta" I guess part of the reason for this is we can buy cheap second hand brand, whereas you guys only have comm sales and overpriced shopping service. But when I lived in la for a year, it was weird to meet other lolitas who openly wore bodyline and would recommend it to other people.

Being "into lolita" and actually participating could be considered differently depending on who you ask. But I do agree that it's a little silly to consider yourself a "*~lolita at heart~*" when you don't own anything, not even a simple Bodyline dress.

The way the original post was worded implyed that anyone who was "into it" (in whatever degree) is doing some sort of wrong for actually "getting into it" recently. Thus my reply. Nothing was taken personal, I just personally thought the opinion was silly as it was presented. But since you clarified while also needlessly being an ass, I rest my case.

I think most lolita looks best on people who are a little heavier. Not necessarily overweight, but are at a healthy weight for their height. I see all these thin and waiflike girls and a lot of times they just look frumpy and don't really fill out their dresses, this is especially the case with AP. But once you get over a certain size it just starts to look off as well. Drowning in your items to me, looks almost as bad as shirring stretched as far as it'll go with boobloaf.

I hate classic. Completely hate it. How Fanny Rosie dresses is a disgusting retro mishmash of blah. Most of Innocent World's releases are gross uninspired otome pieces to me.
I'm OTT gothic and my favorite kinds of lolita are sweet, oldschool which is what used to be called classic lolita, and OTT sweet. Please know I'm not trying to bash anyone who wears classic, I'm sure most of them are perfectly nice people, but I would never wear it myself and don't like looking at at and feel it's hardly even lolita anymore. For example, xylia looks great in everything she wears, but they don't look remotely lolita to me. I am not saying that lolita as a label is what matters, but it looks like something completely different and I don't like that now classic lolita has become this big thing when it honestly should probably be its own separate fashion. I'm probably saying this because my comm is mostly classic. I don't know about other comms, there's seriously this classic master race mindset an sweet lolitas are being frowned upon, which I think is sad. My comm accepts me for being gothic, because somehow my frilly black goth dresses seem more tasteful than AP prints and pink wigs, and thy will make fun of the girls at conventions who seriously look cute to me but are in all pastels.

When I first got started, I fucking hated prints. They seemed too busy and just stupid looking to me. Then, they grew on me. I think it really depends on the print.

My closet is sweet and old school so I totally sympathize!

The "holier than thou classic lolita master race" really bugs me. Sometimes I feel like the odd one out in my comm because even though we have lots of sweet lolitas, most of them wear darker prints and have been moving into classic for a while. I worry maybe they think I'm immature or silly looking or look like an ageplayer because I love OTT sweet. Without all the crazy accessories, huge rings, fluffy clips, and sparkly necklaces and bracelets, my coords feel so incomplete. Newer classic lolitas in my comm sometimes get a huge superiority complex and its so annoying to see people scowl at the few other girls who love wearing pastels and AP prints all the time.

Feels bad since some of my best lolita friends are great and are classic lolitas, one of them wears it casually everywhere. They both sew sweet and sweet/classic type stuff though, and have been into lolita forever. Thankfully they don't have a stuck up attitude, they're super nice.

Classic coords sometimes just seem so casual and blah, and really formulaic. Oxfords + flower clips + cream blouse + cardigan + floral tights = boring coord.

>I think Decora girls look like they stepped out of a magic crackhouse and look insane
B-b-but that's what's so cute!

Like other anons said, classic lolita superiority is annoying. There are only a few classic girls in my comm (most of us are gothic or bordering gothic/classic like wearing MM and VM) and those girls act like they're trying to be part of some loli lifestyle, perfectly prissy snooty Victorian reenactment. Sometimes I feel like slapping them and informing that we do not need to drink tea and eat pastries at every meetup. There is nothing wrong with casually hanging out and getting burgers and shakes at Ruby's. We're supposed to be enjoying one another's company. Stop frowning like your silly hat an bolero are too classy for non-loli activities!
I'm genuinely surprised they show up to small meet ups and just look superior the whole time. Why the hell didn't you guys just stay home then?!

One of my friends is a "target" of this board and has had some very vicious things said about her (unpopular here).
But as I get to know her better I think some of them are justified (unpopular with her)
And, while the early 'attacks' were wide of the mark, being made on somebody decent. She's since got "diagnosed" (though I doubt it was by anybody qualified), and tried to suck up to the admin of a shit e-peen obsessed website. (unpopular with towwerant tublr types)
But still, I now assume any lolita is one of bitchy backbiter types, and treat them all with ill-disguised spite. (unpopular with lolitas)

Fatty Chans with no waist and girls with giant tits should probably stay out of most dresses as they aren't cut to fit you and will look like shit. Do skirts and blouses.

My unpopular opinions (?):
I don't get why Cadney is popular. Her coords are really run of the mill to me.

Piercings and tattoos almost always bring a look down, unless they REALLY go with the look (and I don't just mean matching your piercings to your coord, I mean their presence altogether).

I also think unnaturally dyed hair can look really clashy with coords, but at the same time I think it's dumb to think your haircolor has to match your outfit (which is why I dislike the recent trend of it being almost a requirement to match a wig to your outfits).

>>6981369
Agreed, they're so overused now, almost always by noobs who don't match them to their coords at all.

Ugh those tassly loafer styles are the worst. I like other styles okay, though I'm not a fan of the ballerina ones that much either. I prefer the boot styles or just simple anklestraps. My favorite are the boot styles, which I guess might be unpopular tastes.

>>6981714
Ah, I feel the same way on prints as you anon! I think for me the prints that catch me are the ones where the art isn't really bold and in your face, and it sorta blends nicely with the style of the dress (so, less bold border prints, gobelins, striped prints, things like that).

I wish it was really different. Replicas, for me are an option to wear the clothes I love. I am saving up money for college, food, and accompanists for my voice lessons (I'm a music major so there's so much extra costs). Also, I don't have the most fit body. Its more medium sized (size 16, usually. Its not healthy but its hard to maintain with my birth control and also horrible options at my uni). Replicas would allow me to wear dresses more toned down for going to classes and stuff. Also, custom sizing is the biggest advantage. I hate that I'm cheating my favorite companies though. And also, no way to art stealing dresses. I prefer plain designs. Im not much into the meet-up scene because of social issues but i think that entitlement is ridiculous.

This. I feel like people just see the brand price tag and assume it's all 100% profit. Yeah, I get that there's a lot of 'buying the brand' but it's not something you can get anywhere. Lolita is a niche fashion and the products are only for a niche market, mostly being Japanese.

I really hate when people get all in a huff about how 'brands discriminate' maybe they do and maybe they don't, but honestly, they only need to make a few sizes to sell everything. I'm tall, but other than that I'm standard brand size, and I make due with things that fit or I do without. Honestly though, I do have a bit more sympathy for people who don't fit brand than people who are too poor. One girl in my comm has horrible spending habits, spends atleast $70 eating out every week, impluse buys basically anything she sees, and still tries to justify replicas. And she buys the cheapest of the cheap DoL crap.

I can get if you don't fit it, and lust over it, and just want to see how it would look on you in a world where it would fit, but stop feeling 'discriminated against' no one owes you anything, and for fucks sake, if you can't go 3 days without spending money on expensive food or anime swag, or some other shit you don't need, like poorfags usually do, then shut the hell up!

I'm in the same boat. There is a brand set I desire with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns (in b4 Kyubey shows up). I've talked about it a couple times on /cgl/. I've never seen it for sale. Anons I've talked to have never seen it for sale. I found one seller who was thinking of maaaaaybe selling it, but never got back to me.

So I can wait and scour auction sites and the comm sales for eternity, hoping to be in the right place at the right time with $300+ at the ready, or I can buy the replica from Taobao. I feel really torn about it. It's not a print, so I don't feel bad in the art theft respect, but it is made by my favorite brand.

I was super mad but at least now I have a dress I'm not afraid to get dirty.

It's a lot about cuts, accessories and theme. You can take a toned down black dress and wear it with the right accessories and make it either just 'kuro' which is usually classic or sweet at that point and depending on how 'sweet' looking the dress is you can make it more gothic, but you can't do the same for say a sweet black dress(pic related) or really sweet up a gothic dress.

you are so sweet, thank you! :) I love gothic on taller girls, hell I love every style on taller girls. I think anyone can pull off sweet with the right pieces, though like you said, long sweet pieces are hard to find. If you ever want to try a sweet piece, Infanta's Sweet Dolly House jsk/op are pretty long. LovelyLor and Peachie both wear it and they're 5'7" and 5'6", the jsk/op hit just at the knee on both of them. Also, old school sweet is the bomb and some older baby dresses are longer. You probably know all that though!

Yes I agree, I was just looking at a half wig yesterday. My hair is usually naturally pretty thick, that day I blow dried it to keep it tamer.

I think the main idea/support for buying secondhand is that you're buying from another lolita, who may likely spend that $ on a new brand release

>> No.6982720

>>6982716
Agreed. A lot of times I end up selling my stuff to afford a brand release. I do buy things second hand, but my preference has switched to first hand because I like knowing that anything that is wrong with a dress, it's something I personally did, and I don't feel so disheartened finding a random unmentioned stain while ironing/steaming.

>> No.6982725

>>6981989
Well, they do indirectly. It's sort of tricky economically, but especially with high-end purchases, much of what drives the main purchase is the knowledge of being able to sell second-hand. Especially in a market like lolita clothing, which is often purchased by young people who frequently go through outfits/decide not to keep items long-term, knowing that you can resell something you purchase is a crucial part of the decision to purchase the item in the first place. So in supporting the second-hand market, you are indirectly supporting brands since this makes those who have more funds more comfortable with making the original purchase. Obviously you're giving MORE to the brand if you purchase new, but buying second-hand is not necessarily equivalent to not supporting the brand.

I like classic, but it's hard for me to find items that I really like. The items I do own that fit within the classic category have some sort of print or something that really makes it pop. I find a lot of the basic floral items to be too plain for my tastes. Then again, there's stuff I really love from MM and VM, but ain't no way I'll ever fit into those.

I own a lot more sweet and enjoy going into the realm of OTT, especially for large meetups and conventions. Though I usually pick one day to wear something classic or gothic (typically, Sunday as it's a little easier to change out of without tons of accessories). I don't know, I just enjoy bright pastel rainbow colors, cutesy motifs, and cute plastic jewelry. Don't get me wrong, I adore classic and gothic, but I don't find any style to be superior over another. So I don't really understand the superiority complex so many people seem to have. It's just preference when it comes down to it.

Only the specific colourways similar to the anime sold out within the first two days, the blouse and skirt in other colourways hung around for a bit longer. The boots were not part of the set, by the way, they just slapped on a random pair of socks and boots from their shop. (I decided not to get the set based on the boots, high waisted skirts look terrible on me anyways, but if they'd done the entire look complete with boots I'd have bought it.)

You probably realised this already, but you're not really looking for a set called "Mawaru Penguindrum set". It's one blouse called the Himari blouse and one skirt called the Himari skirt, so basically you need to look at any listing that says "blue IW blouse" or "blue IW skirt" as well.

You can wear classy sweet, or hime styled sweet.

If I went this year I'd wear a ballet-themed dress like Etoile Twins, Pas De Deux, Swan Lake, or Lac du Cygnes. But really, for a special event, you can make a simpler sweet coord without any crazy plastic jewelry or colorful wigs and still work with your style.

And you could wear classic in a halloween-y themed coord to an amusement park in the fall, or a country floral dress in the summer. There's plenty of options. You could probably get away with a casual classic coord to a bar at least. Does anyone wear lolita to a club in general?

It doesn't describe anybody. you're just saying any feminist who is too liberal for your liking should be compared with genocidal maniacs. that's pretty disgusting. saying someone doesn't share the same beliefs as you is fine, but calling them a name that equates them with fascist, racist murderers hell bent on eradicating over 11 million people is completely asinine. The Nazis were not just ignorant and enthusiastic. They built facilities for dehumanizing people, killed them en masse, all to make their horrifying ideals come to life. Until feminists start taking away peoples' citizenship, forcing them into ghettos, and rounding people up to go to camps, you simply cannot compare Nazis with modern day feminists. There is absolutely no basis for comparison at all.

Hell, it's like calling any racial activist a Black Panther. They are nothing alike. Stop trying to find associations between violent murderers that ruin peoples' lives and overzealous activists that make you slightly annoyed.

To add onto classic loli superiority... I know a girl who reeks of this classic lolita syndrome. It makes me a bit ashamed to like the same substyle as her.

She is proud of herself for affording her entire wardrobe and never asking for other people to purchase things for her. As a result she thinks that everyone else follows sweet lolita because they are "common sheep/followers" and all they do is gorge themselves on cake/sweets and their wardrobe is funded because their boyfriends or mommy and daddy buy it. They never work for it and therefore makes all sweet lolita sound like immature brats. The classic lolita superiority also continues because apparently she, like a classic lolita, is a grown up and mature woman who likes to sit down and drink tea while carrying herself on a high throne because she doesn't dress herself in childish fashions. I don't really know why people think it's okay to adopt this mentality!

Boo fucking hoo? Are you trying to convince us you're the morality po-po on 4chan? Really bitch?

Anyway it's pretty obvious you're the butthurt feminazi tumblrite seeing as though you've put so much effort into deconstructing a passing comment on 4chan. While you're busy doling on lectures on 'maturity' I suggest you take a heaping portion of it for yourself to suck on.

she does realize that classic lolita is still based on victorian girls' fashions? or is she just legally retarded?

when people assume sweet lolitas are all "style sheep" and do nothing original, and like the same prints just because they're popular, it drives me nuts. like god forbid a bunch of AP fans like a new print, they're such "followers" because they like something. give me a break.

we're all wearing clothes that make us look ridiculous to most people. no one style is somehow better, nor its wearers superior. we can all be kawaii as fuck in different substyles.

Not even radical shitty feminists are anything like Nazis. I'm saying it's a stupid as fuck comparison to make. If you're so upset by their behavior that you feel the need to label them with the same name as genocidal fascists, then be a better feminist than them and set a good example instead of getting upset at how I spend my time.

>>6983274
Bad feminists make me mad, but just because they suck doesn't mean you should compare them with Nazis. My point stands. I'm not defending them, I'm saying that calling them Nazis just makes you sound like a fedora neckbeard who hates women. Obviously you're not one of those people, so just call them "radical, poor excuses for feminists." See? Was that so hard?

It's half the reason I already look at everything in yja's Angelic Pretty category, I'm looking for something scallop something by AP. It's basically an old school pink dress. Thank god it's not a dream dress, hasn't turned up in the two+ years that I've been keeping an eye for it for, I just want it because some taobao BJD dress I have is modelled after that, and it's darn cute.

I also look at everything in AP's category because years ago I stumbled across a different spelling for Memorial Cake (it was written as anpuri memokeki), and nobody even writes Gingham Rose and Ribbon anymore, it's sometimes just listed as beibi sukato without even the gingamu part, so now I'm paranoid the dream dress I'm really looking for is up on yja/mbok, just under a different title.

On a different note, Juliette et Justine released a questionnaire on what they will re-release, so hopefully two of my dream dresses see a re-release next year.

All my comm is sweet OTT, and they made fun of me for a while into being classic, until it became big in the fashion. Now they try to achieve a classic look but really looks boring...I personally wear quite everything except sweet OTT because I don't like this particular style on me, but I have no clue about how people can think they are god-tier because they were more or less bright colour on their dresses.
Also, lost of newer classics are really boring, looking like formal/retro style more than real classic lolita. They drop too easily the princess/doll aesthetic part IMO

I really want to like h.FRILL, but I really hate most of their designs. I don't know if it looks any better in person, but pictures of a lot of their pieces just look gross.

I don't even get why there is this whole classic master race thing going on. Why are substyles so pissed at each other? It's such bullshit. I wouldn't be caught dead in an OTT coord, but I admire the fuck out of people who can do it well. I don't know what style I fit into with my AatP pieces and I don't really care. I just want to wear shit I love-and maybe hang out with fun and chill people who also wear shit they love-and hopefully talk and joke about the shit we love. END OF STORY.

I've been thinking about getting more into classic, but I doubt it'll change my personality. I already like tea, but I just drink it as a drink all the time. It doesn't make you classy. I don't know why people feel the need to be so stuck up.

It's actually a strong reason as to why I don't buy second-hand from the EGL sales comm. There is a greater than average chance of buying something that has been stretched out and not listed as being in that condition because the seller believes that it's not a "big" issue - pun fully intended.
