Lolita Accessories

[Anonymous No.6995977]

So, I've been wearing Lolita a considerable amount of time (3-4 years)
and I feel my coords are just boring.
I'm absolutely terrified to go "out there with it" and accessorize.

So /cgl/ what is a good way to accessorize?
what Items are a "must have"?
what Items are Dos/Donts?

Posting Lolitas with god-tier accessories works too
thank you!

Imo, soft bonnets are an immediate 'dont'. Like, nobody has ever looked good in one in the history of the world. They truly make you look like an adult baby.

[Anonymous No.6996021]

don't buy cheaper things. They are cheap for a reason most of the time. If it's something small like a ring than okay. If you want a fancy hat or bonnet needs to be more than 10USD

Also keep them where you can see them. So often you think I'll put all my bows in this box and you can often forget what you have because you don't see them often enough to remember.

[Anonymous No.6996029]

Items in neutral colors are generally good staples: Whites, off whites, non-vibrant primary colors, and earth tones. Also try bringing out complimentary or minor colors in patterns w/ your accessories.
(Personally, I find overlarge headbows to be tacky outside of OTT sweet.)
Hats are a vastly underrated accessory, as are unconventional hair pieces or veils like in pic related.
Hope this helps!

I've been looking for those socks with the gold and white harlequin pattern everywhere. I see so many lolitas wearing them, but I can't find them. I've checked most of the brand stores, Taobao, Storenvy, Etsy, just about everywhere that I could think of. Can anyone tell me where to buy them?

[Anonymous No.6996048]

>>6996041
AATP and Chantilly both make them, but there should be some on taobao as well I think?

[Anonymous No.6996054]

Figure out what colors predominate your wardrobe, and pick up basics in those colors, or go for something that matches anything like pearls. For every outfit you want at least one of every accessory that matches. That means at least one hair/head accessory, one pair of earrings, one necklace, one set of bracelets or wristcuffs (I say set because you want one on each wrist usually), one handbag, one set of tights and one pair of shoes. That sounds like a lot but put on just one of each and it looks pretty tame!
Until you have all those basics, avoid getting stuff that only matches one dress. A purse shaped like a cookie will look weird with a kitty themed dress, but a purse like a heart will look ok with most anything. Once you have a good mix and match batch of accessories, then start looking for one great statement accessory for each coord.

Also as someone else said, keep your stuff organized! You'll have more ideas if you can see all your things easily. Hairbows are easy to clip to a bit of long ribbon and tack to a wall, and jewelry looks super cute and stays untangled hanging up on hooks or stands. That way you can easily spot what looks good together.

What are some ideas for head and arm accessories for somewhat OTT/not OTT sweet? My dress' print is blue and pink and has cakes and stuff on it, but I don't really like those headbands with cupcakes and shit. I'm pretty new, so sorry if this sounds dumb!

Does anyone have suggestions on where to get not too expensive hats for classic/gothic? I'd love a hat to go with coords but all I seem to be able to find are either way expensive or tacky "steampunk goth" nonsense. I mostly have black, red, and deep purple in my closet.

I like a simple pair of wristcuffs. My Dearest Victoria makes some nice ones in custom colors. I own a few pairs of hers. Usually I'll wear a couple of pearl/beaded bracelets with them that match my dresses as well.

For head accessories, I like those two-way brooches with bows and pearls. Or you can just string some pearls to two ends of a bobbypin and affix to your head underneath some flowers or a bow.

are my dearest victoria's wristcuffs that great?
I've inspected them in person and I just feel kind of iffy spending over $15 on some simple lace that goes on my wrist when I've gotten lovely dresses for $10 more.
I guess she can price them that high because there's no competition but still..
are they worth it?
or am I just being stingy?
why can't other loli-crafters hop on the wristcuff bandwagon, seems like there's money to be made, and if its $15 or below i'm down.
spending $20 for a couple strips of lace to go around your wrist just seems a bit.. much, don't you think?

[Anonymous No.6997316]

>>6997309
They're not as nice as brand wristcuffs, no. I own a few pairs of AP wristcuffs and some IW ones and they are nicer. But they're not all too bad. The lace isn't quite as soft, but it's not Bodyline's lace. I also find the seam to be a little on the scratchy side. But otherwise, the ones I have are well made and hold up really well.

>>6997316
that's good to hear. I've heard good things about brand wristcuffs, and a long while back an anon took in-detailed pictures of hers and they looked amazing.
>message to loli-crafters out there, people will throw their money at you if you sell wristcuffs for $15 or less, hop on it!


on the subject of accessories, how are AP's accessories? any one have any other places to suggest to get adorable lolita accessories?

[Anonymous No.6997321]

I feel like I lack a lot of those "basic" accessories and jewellery. I've never been a jewellery girl so I kind of lack all the staples, especially in headwear.
This is probably a really stupid but I'm so clueless in this area.
1. Where can I get small headbows (like sidebows and stuff) that would suit classic-casual-sweet? Second hand? Buying one headbow from the other side of the world second hand doesn't feel worth it with shipping and stuff.
2. I have very skinny fingers and hands/wrists so I can't wear any of the bracelets or rings at stores. Size "S" is always to big. Tips for this?

[Anonymous No.6997351]

>>6997320
She hand dyes the lace and wristcuffs are kind of a pain in the ass to make. As someone who sews and has made my own wristcuffs before, I wouldn't want to sell them for less than $15 - not worth my time. So that is probably why there isn't much competition.

Headbows are SUPER easy to make! Theres like a million ways to do it though so you gotta pick how you want it. Here's one I have, might have another on here somewhere. They only take like a quarter yard of fabric too so you can make tons for cheap.

I've found amazing deals on the comm sales, like a btssb handmade replica dress for $30, a skirt for $15, two blouses for $10 each, went thrifting and found a taobao sailor lolita dress for $2 and then there is of course bodyline if that counts. maybe I'm just lucky. I DO own brand, but off-brand stuff is cheap if you know where to look.
>>6997351
I've bought wristcuffs at cons for $5 a pair so I didn't think it was too much to ask for something $15 or less. I don't even care about elastic. as long as I can put that shit on my wrist its fine and I'd give them my money. hand dying, attatchments, blah blah novelties-don't care about those at all.

[Anonymous No.6997581]

>>6996029
though i will politely point out that if you do decide to go with more "modern" or "exotic" hair items, that they should at least make sense with the coordinate. don't slap in hair sticks if your coordinate doesn't borrow from an eastern aesthetic. if you have a hair net from the ren fest that you've been wanting to use, think about whether or not your outfit has that period feel to it.
if you're looking for a specific color for fake flowers for your hair, shell out a little extra for good-looking flowers, and a bottle of acrylic ink. you can thin the ink with water, then brush over the petals, letting dry between coats, to the desired shade.
quality czech-glass pearls can be found incredibly cheap at most craft stores in a multitude of colors, and can be strung onto some clear jewelry thread (or fishing line) and woven throughout the hair for a tasteful, elegant accessory.

>i bought wristcuffs for $5 once so there's no reason why people should sell them for $20, way too expensive!!

[Anonymous No.6997677]

>>6997424
>nice lace
nice lace is usually pretty expensive, at a minimum $3.50 a yard. and sure, wrists aren't that big, but if it's going to be gathered you need at least 2.5 times the wrist size to gather nicely onto elastic or hand-threading ribbon through. then custom-dyed laces (or custom-made, even!), little charms, crystals, and that they probably would have to be hand-finished? yeah, i can see why someone would charge at least $15, depending on the details. if you want them so cheap, make them yourself.

I just bought a bunch off of eBay. Just search "silk flowers" and narrow down to crafts if you just want flower heads.

There's also a taobao store with extremely beautiful flowers if you look in the archive. They're still attached to stems though.

I think I posted a lot in the last etsy shop thread, but I like:
>Necrosarium
Really nice gothic stuff, very Suppurate System inspired, someone mentioned last thread she's been shipping slowly or hard to contact lately though, so be aware. Lots of brass, resin, roses... She sells through her own website now, no longer on her etsy.
>Eat Me Ink Me
The construction is very good. Accessory wise it's mostly like bows and stuff, mostly classic that I've bought/seen?
>Sweet Mildred
Floral headpieces are amazing, but personally I think the plain ribbon ones aren't as nice. As long as you stick to the florals you'll be satisfied imo.

Sorry if these are mostly places people have posted before, these are the most relevant ones I can think of though.

Yeah, I'd be willing to pay VM prices but they're all sold out :( I need it in Cinnamon or Ivory but they only have smaller pieces in those colours. Cry. Surface Spell's are pretty nice but I was hoping to find a Japanese source since I'd need it soon. Oh well, I'll find something.

Ahh, that sucks. I'm not sure how often they restock them since I've only ever bought their pieces secondhand, but depending how soon you need it I think they do restock them now and then?

Off topic but, just holy fuck, I love this girl and her blog.
I wish I could have hair like hers.
That feel when hair is a frizzy dark brown mass of half curls and waves.

This thread is making me really fucking sad that my computer is fucked and I possibly wiped out the collection of lolita accessories pictures I had. It was a huge fucking collection too.

Goddamnit.

What is her blog? I actually don't know her name.

>>6998969
I love her too, anon. Her handle is imperial fiddlesticks, if you want to look her up. I believe she makes her own hats.

What kind of hair accessories look best in short hair? All the things I've tried look silly and I don't like wearing wigs; suggestions? I wear gothic and sometimes classic. Pics would be lovely too if anyone has any.

[Anonymous No.6999041]

How short are we talking? Like a bob in >>6998464
or shorter bob in >>6998524, or razored-short?

In any case I think hats work pretty universally on every kind of hair. Hair flowers also work pretty well on any hair length.

Sort of between the two, and almost entirely straight.
I might try parting it to the side and pinning in some smaller fabric flowers. I keep thinking I'll grow it out and do pretty stuff with it but I just hate the feel of it past my neck.

I like AP's accessories, and they're good quality and sturdy. But honestly outside of the collectability factor, they are way too overpriced for what they are. I wouldn't recommend them unless you want the matching jewelry for this or that. That, and some items are over-hyped and end up selling 2-3x the retail cost (for example, the Toy Fantasy elephant and giraffe) I usually just search Etsy/Storenvy for cute jewelry and stumble upon shops that seem to have nice things for decent prices. A friend recommended Ali Express to me. She found all sorts of really cute jewelry for cheap, I've also found cheap jewelry making materials there as well.

>>6998092
I have a pair of her wristcuffs. The lace on them is cute and soft and they don't have the scratchy seam factor that the My Dearest Victoria cuffs have. But see the ribbon in the center there? On the ones I have, the stitching is all over the place. Otherwise, they're okay for $15.

[Anonymous No.6999431]

Reading this entire thread stressed me out.
Are there people out there that crazy to hate someone that much? Goodness.

psshht.
I'm the anon who posted >6997628, I left it there and then went to work for eight hours. this is the first time I've been in the thread since, so reading over your accusations of 'vendetta-chan!!' has been really amusing. really, nia, you can't really expect to go around trashing other people's outfits in ita threads and not expect to eventually get some flack for your own. all that photo did was call you out. the thread's derailment afterwards was wholly due to your inability to accept criticism and let the subject drop.

and now to actually contribute:
shoe clips are awesome for lolifying plain heels or boots. Buy ribbon, clip-on earring backs, and whip yourself up some bows to make your shoes kawaii as fuck. I've also seen ones that are floral or cameo clips.

I also really liked kayzeekay on blogspot for her shoe garter tutorial, I thought that was cute.

[Boring OP No.6999598]

>>6999545
I've seen Nia around in threads and things are usually fine.
I think she handled the critism well and did her best to get things back on track despite everyone's (and your own) obnoxious behavior.
what derailed the thread was not her "inability to accept criticism" but anons not getting past their petty hatred of some trip.
I'd appreciate it if you would stop trying to bring this up and let my thread continue on its natural course.
I did not intend this thread to be a place where people flaunted their hatred for others (despite being on /cgl/)
but rather a helpful place for others like myself to learn how to properly accessorize.
I frankly think its quite annoying and shows how desperate you are for drama that you feel the need to try to drag it on a day after it happened.
let it go. take a breath. have a cup of tea.
move on with your life
and let me move on with my thread

[Anonymous No.6999644]

>>6999598
if nia hadn't continued responding as if to her 'vendetta-chan' then I wouldn't feel the need to correct nia's assumption that all of this is perpetrated by a single person. you clearly haven't been on /cgl/ for very long, but there are reasons why a number of other people stepped in with a response of consensual dislike.

and I ended my post with an attempt to get back on topic, so I don't see why you feel the need to defend your thread now when you couldn't bother while the actual dramafest was going on.

have some taobao links and calm down. it's /cgl/, this isn't unusual.

Back on topic how do you guys make ribbon bows? I've been sewing them together but they seem prone to changing position. Pic related is a very simple one I made to try things out, but the lace part keeps going out of position. General crit on construction or whatever is also welcomed

You have to make the the pinch/fold and sew through it. It's easier to do if you keep the layers flat, and sew along the center, going with a large stitch in up in up and pull it into the fold shape.

I just ordered a pink and yellow accessory lucky pack from Sweet Mildred. I've seen her floral headpieces in person and they are absolutely amazing like you said. I hope the ribbons are cute even though they're not god tier like the rest of her stuff.

Is it tacky and silly that I'd love a pink fawn collar? She probably doesn't make any but since that review was posted on egl the other day it just reminded me how cute they are to me
