Help me coord this...

[Anonymous No.7230611]

Can we have a "help me coord this" thread?
I have had this jsk in my closet forever and despite it being my favorite piece I've never worn it.
My wardrobe is all sweet and mostly Angelic Pretty. I have a really hard time finding and picking out darker pieces.
I don't want to go all black. I like gothic styles and classic, but I've just never tried either.

[Anonymous No.7230644]

Gold blouse, gold and black tights. gold shoes?

or, you could try to coord it with lavender, but you'd still have to tie the gold in IMO

[Anonymous No.7230739]

I'd like to wear it with a cutsew or blouse underneath (it's getting colder), but I fail to choose one...

[Anonymous No.7230745]

>>7230739
Something without a collar would look best like a turtle neck style cutsew. I had a bitch trying to match the mint with other AP mint on some cutsews though, I have the skirt, and I ended up selling it. But lavender may work as well.

[Anonymous No.7230752]

>>7230739

I would go for a nice warm cardigan in a matching colour.
If you choose a blose/cutsew, choose one with a lowe,r round and small collar; I'd go for a cutsew as I feel that most collared blouses will be harder to match the collar of the JSK.
Sorry that I have no matching pic D:

If you don't want to go all black I would say wear a white blouse with something gold at the collar like a flower corsage or a necklace, have white socks with gold print, headress can be black with something like gold flowers. You can also try a beige blouse and socks, I've seen it worn succesfully with black/gold.

[Anonymous No.7231436]

sort of newbie here, nabbed this skirt a while ago cause it was pretty cheap, but then realized I don't know how to coord skirts for the life of me. Tried to look up coords with gingham skirts for inspiration, but every thing looks too plain and/or unflattering.

I was thinking some kind of country-style would be the easiest but????? Suspenders can be removed by the way

[Anonymous No.7231440]

>>7231436
I find vests make skirts look great. Maybe a brown vest with a nice white blouse?

[Anonymous No.7232081]

>>7231436

First, remove the suspenders. They are incredibly hard to pulll off without looking like a fool, and they'll only work with very very small boobs. So remove them.

The colour of the skirt is is red/white, so I personally would go for a little red riging hood theme. White blouse, red cape, a beret, and a straw bag (or simple grown handbag if you want to look less sweet), and brown may janes or brown boots (so it doesn't look too sweet.)

[Anonymous No.7232098]

>>7231440
I should probably mention that I'm more into sweet, so a vest is a little too classic/aristo for my taste. I like the idea of vest/corset and skirt set, just not really on me, and probably not with a skirt this sweet style

>>7232081
Thanks! Though the skirt is actually more of a pink-red than actual red (damn you AP and your weird colors) I could definitely work off this. I do have some almost matching fabric (same color but slightly different pattern) that I could make some small accessories out of though so it isn't a big deal I guess.
I'm actually quite, uh, flat...so the suspenders actually didn't look too bad when I tried it on, but I kind felt like they'd just make it harder to coord anyways.

[Anonymous No.7232133]

>>7232098

Oops, did not see this on the picture, I thought the skirt was just red and white. I still stand with a nice white blouse and maybe a nice cardigan? What kind of accessoires do you plan?

Hm, the supsenders *could* work. But honestly, as you wrote, they just make the coord way more difficult. And I personally have to say that I would remove them because 98% of the time it just doesn't work.

>needing help to coordinate something this easy
How long have you been into the fashion, out of curiosity?

[Anonymous No.7232407]

>>7232359
Even though it's an "easy" piece, they want to style it in a way that's out of their comfort zone, so I don't blame them for wanting help.

OP, do you want to go more classic or gothic with this coordination? A combination of both? What is your body type and face shape? What are you willing to do in terms of makeup and hair styling/wigs?

[Anonymous No.7232415]

>>7232133
I actually kinda want to go with your original suggestion of a cape, since I've always wanted to do a coord with a cape. if everything else is red i could probably off set it with hair bows or even rrplacing the bow on the capelet i guess????? Iunno we'll see tbh

[Anonymous No.7232435]

>>7232415
That much red and with shade if pink would clash pretty badly, though. Dark pink is a pretty difficult shade to match. You can either try to match the dark pink or bring some of AP's "normal" pink into the coord if that's too much. Here's what I would do:

-Dark pink headgear (a matching headbow ideally if you can find it so the skirt is not the only gingham item)
-Pink caplet + optional pink bustier. A bustier makes a skirt/blouse combination look 'neater' imho. Sometimes a cape and skirt can look a bit blocky, so a bustier would give it some much-needed structure.
-White blouse (if you can find one with dark pink accents so much the better, but baby pink or just white on white will do, too)
-Pink x white socks
-Dark pink shoes
-Dark pink bag
-Accessories that use pink x dark pink combination to further tie the whole thing together. It would be nice if you could find a bracelet and ring set as well as a brooch (since a necklace may look awkward) for your cape.

Further tips:

-Make sure all your dark pinks match and your baby pinks match.
-If you can come up with a cohesive 'theme' for your accessories and individual pieces--such as flowers or rabbits--it will bring the look together more. Rabbits would be cute since it's getting to be wintertime in most places.
-Any other little detail that you can play with in the outfit would enhance how put-together the coord looks. Does your bag have pearl detailing? Maybe find jewelry that fits your theme, but also has pearls. Shoes and head wear often feature pearls as well, so maybe that's something you can consider, too. The same goes for other small touches like lace, metal detailing and things like pin-tucking. It can also extend to more subtle motifs like hearts and bows.

I have been wearing it since I was around 19. I'm 25 now. I get that it's a basic piece, solid color and all, but I want to style it in a way that isn't basic. It's also the only black item I own. I have zero experience with gothic and classic styles. I want something OTT with this piece because I love it so much, but my only experience with OTT looks is sugary sweet. Sweet OTT is quite different.
I'm trying to avoid all black as well. Things like "wear it with gold" are already obvious to me.

[Anonymous No.7232457]

>>7232407
I'm average size I think, 5'2 112 pounds and athletic. The measurements on this version of the jsk fit just right. Bust is 34" inches and the waist accommodates up to 26". I have an oval face shape, never tried a bonnet, but I don't think it would suit me. I dislike rectangle head dresses, but everything else is fine with me. Light skin, medium brown log hair and I prefer my natural hair to wigs. I don't have a fringe but I think head bows still look good on me.
I want to start working classic into my wardrobe more, dark colors like burgundy and jewel tones.
I really want to get more wear out of this jsk so I would like an OTT gothic coord as well.

I feel like I'm rediscovering and redefining my lolita fashion sense. So help is greatly appreciated.

Hmm! I see, I'll keep all this in mind. Thanks a bunch for the detailed help! I think I have an idea what to do now.

[Anonymous No.7232872]

Is this thread still open for coord help?

I'm not sure how I feel about this coord. Generally a gosu rori, so attempting sweet is scary. I want to keep it somewhat elegant? I have a pink peter-pan collared blouse that I already own from vintage finds, and I'd like to use it. Sadly, it's in the laundry, so no pictures for now. I'm not sure if I should work in more mint somehow..? Or trade the pink capelet for a white one, if I get a capelet at all?

I also have no idea about how nice Dream V shoes are, but they're like. $11 or something ridiculously low, so I definitely don't mind trying them out. I could only find like one review, and the person said they were good?? Well, dang diddly, I'll try them.

Another problem: how do you make certain you are getting shades of colors that are similar, and not jarringly different? It's a pet peeve of mine when I see Sweet Lolita, so I surely don't want to make that mistake...

those shoes are too peach to match the dress, you need a pink that's less warm and more of a cool-toned pink. the accessories are cute, but the dress is almost not elegant enough for the accessories. keep it simple and try a white chiffon blouse or bolero, pink hair flowers, and simple gold + pink bracelets with floral accents, maybe even a small gold tiara to match. hime can look super classy. i'd say personally if i were making this coord i would ditch the tights and try solid white tights or OTKs with a floral pattern like pic related.

Burgundy felt hat, brown or burgundy chevron knit tights, brown or burgundy (depending on your legwear color) shoes?

For some reason this screams country to me too, or maybe even a more antique look, so like a brown or straw boater or small flower/berries circlet. I'm also feeling 3/4 or muttonchop sleeves with this for a country coord.

I'll try to make you a collage.

Okay, I'll bite. I recently got my first dress, and it's the the Baby one in the pic. I also purchased AP's Promenade de Paris pink/brown OTKs. They seem to work okay together but I don't really know what to do with the rest of the coord. I was thinking of some kind of violin bag that IW has, since the print has string instruments on it, but I'm not too sure.

Another problem is that I'd like to buy more dresses and such, but I'd like to finish this coord before spending more money. So anything suggested that will work for multiple outfits would really help.

I think both would work. The sleeves on my BTSSB blouse aren't so short that it would look strange or bunched-up with straps like that. Of course you could get a blouse with convertible length sleeves too.

They're only available in white and ivory, but at least they wouldn't clash with anything.

I have a lot of skirts in my closet, some from LPs, others that I've sought after on purpose. Where I'm running in to trouble is with my light colored skirts. I have a few in very light colors, like white and off-white, but it seems sort of blah to wear them with a white top and run the risk of being marshmallow-chan. Most of my blouses aren't really suitable for skirts (loose/chiffon/see through etc) on their own, but I don't want to buy a new top unless I know "Yes, this is going to look great with lots of skirts!"

Okay so I'm trying to purchase all my accessories for when my jellyfish dress comes in. Here's what I have so far, but the only problem is that I don't have pictures of the right color of shoes/bag!

I've already purchased both the star clips and the headband, so now I'm on the fence about whether I should get silver shoes and a silver purse? Both I would have to get custom made.

Now I'm thinking I might have too much silver going on? So I was thinking maybe a white purse with the silver shoes? Or maybe just going with navy or black shoes?? I guess I'm just really in-between colors right now, would love if someone could help push me in the right direction!

[Anonymous No.7235985]

>>7235966

I would throw out the tights, they do not match the theme.
Also, I'd go for a black bag, black tights (with some silver sparkles? I know H&M sells those) and blue shoes.
Not too sure about silver shoes / bag, if you could get yourself some nice costum made then maybe go for it. But I'd rather go for a silver bag and darker shoes.

You do not have too much silver going on. I think you could even add more small accessoires (a ring, a bracelet, or a charm for your bag).

[Anonymous No.7236038]

>>7235985
Ah very true. I picked the tights because there's music notes in the dress but now that its all together I can see how it doesn't go with the overall theme.
I think I'll probably go with the dark shoes as well, I don't think I'd get too much out of silver shoes (right now anyways).

I see what you're going for but I think the blouse is almost too bright. Covering the collar with the fur collar would help the blouse work better with the print, but it still looks a little off to me. Maybe try a black chiffon blouse? You can also try to balance out the blue with another accent color like that purple in the print. The ombre tights and the navy tights don't match well. Stick with black tights, maybe lace pattern tights.

[Anonymous No.7237068]

I got this to go with a jsk I got on reserve. The jsk won't be here until march. My closet is mostly sweet but i have some classic-y accessories. Nothing I have atm would match it, but I was considering getting Btssb Pas De Deux in the Blue Moon jsk in red. Any ideas for main pieces that would look nice with this blouse? It's not quite a wine color but I don't think it's a bright red either, so I'm trying to work off that. My classic-y accessories and footwear are mostly ivory, gold, black, and white.

This is probably a really pathetic request, but I am not loli at all and completely at a loss. If anybody wants to give me ideas with varying levels of formality, I'd be forever grateful.

Well I think you need to first ask yourself are you trying to make a Lolita coord or are you simply using a Lolita skirt in a cute, non-lolita way.

[Anonymous No.7237221]

>>7237205
It says it's length is 24/25in, which is a bit longer than most lolita pettis. It might peek out from under that skirt and $60 is a lot of money to pay for something that's the wrong length. I would try victoriangirldress on ebay (in their largest size, they'll fit an adult), they're good, poofy, basic pettis that I've gotten a lot of use out of. They're also cheaper and ship fast.

I don't normally wear stilettos in lolita, but it would really depend on the shoe I think. Can we see a picture?

[Anonymous No.7237275]

>>7237217
Ah. Yeah, I think I'm just in love with the skirt and want to do it justice. I don't know if I'd be comfortable with anything too ostentatious.

Shoes of that design will definitely work with that skirt, especially since you don't seem to be trying to go full-on lolita. (Although I would wear them with lolita.)
That color will do if the skirt is wine. If it's brown, though, you will be mixing shades, which is not a good idea in any style.

[Anonymous No.7237432]

>>7237355
>If it's brown, though, you will be mixing shades, which is not a good idea in any style.
Not always true imo. As long as they are in the same color temperature, they will still look fine together. For example when people bitch about pinks not matching, usually it's offensive to your eyes because a cool, blue-toned pink is being mixed with a warm, yellow-toned pink.

Same goes for browns. Match golden yellow-toned browns together, warm red-toned browns together, and cool green or blue-toned browns together- but don't intermix them. This gives more visual interest than a solid block of the exact same shade.

[Anonymous No.7237504]

>>7237205
To get the same amount of poof as in the stock picture, you'll probably need two Victoriangirlsdress petticoats.
The shoes look lovely. Add a cream or white chiffon blouse, matching tights and a wine red floral hair accessory and you've got yourself a nice, if very casual, lolita coord.

[Anonymous No.7237520]

>>7237504
I have another MM A-line skirt and when I wear it with one VGD petticoat, it looks just like the stock picture. My skirt has a ruffle on the bottom, though, which hides that the petticoat is actually too short for it. This skirt would probably look poofy enough with 1 petticoat, but you might get that drop-off effect at the bottom. The shape of the VGD petti is right, though, so I definitely suggest you get it instead of that Modcloth one, which is overpriced and very flat-looking.

I'd say go for the purple necklace to tie the shoes in a little more.

Both the socks and tights are quite busy and I think there's a lot going on already with the rest of the outfit so maybe opt for something plain instead?
Idk, that's just personal opinion though. If your only options are the two you have pictured I'd opt for the socks.

Also, I'm not 100% on the pink blouse with a pink JSK. I think the white version of the blouse would match a bit better and be a bit more versatile.

It's still a pretty cute outfit and you're on the right track. Best of luck.

This is what I have so far, but I feel like it's off. Wondering if anybody has some advice, I don't want to end up looking like a fool. Thanks in advance for any help!

Make sure all your pinks match in shade. Accessorize with pink and black rings, maybe bracelet. Otherwise... I think it's a good outfit.

Guys, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Empire waist is hard mode for me. If I add a cardigan/bolero, I feel like I'd lose all the details in the JSK, but the blouse doesn't seem to suit either.. probably because I tried to only add stuff I own.

[Anonymous No.7249144]

>>7249127
Try a turtleneck instead?

[Anonymous No.7249161]

>>7249127

Switch the shoes and the beret, I do not think tht black shoes will work well with the JSK since the main colour is a soft grey-ish brown tone. Black would be too harsh in my opinion. Go for some dark brown boots /mary janes with some heels. I'd leave out the beret as I do not think it looks very good (you have pearls, but the fur does not really match the theme) but that is just my personal taste.
Blouse is alright. Add some more accessoires with pearls, bracelett for example.

Maybe go for a bolero like in the picture?

[Anonymous No.7250156]

Spotted this OP and decided it'll make a good dress for an Easter meet.

I'm just stuck with bringing the red in, as I don't want to have it over power the black/gold.

I'll either get the bodice made longer or change it to a skirt as it's too short on it's own.
I'd like a black/red/gold theme as I already own a few other items that would make this a fairly cheap co-ord.

The hat will be a black boater with red roses and a small/medium pair of rabbit ears. I'm ok to not have the fur covered ears. I may change the head dress to a pair of lace rabbit ears.

Any advice is welcome and thanks in advance

Oh ok haha, that would be much better.

The only other thing that seems iffy to me is that hat rabbit as even if it's not the monstrosity you pictured I think it can easily go bad, but I guess it's a matter of how it turns out (assuming you're crafting it). I think it could easily go cute or weebish when you're doing animal ears.

This has to be the most 'you didn't even try' collage I've seen on these threads. Like other than the hat it's not even ita, it's just.. braindead.

Here's a good example of a more "casual" coord with a much better hat. All the lavender could be switched with powder blue or pink if you prefer. This would still work well with the turtleneck.

[Anonymous No.7250301]

I know this is really basic, but it's basically my first coord ever and I could use some inspiration.

I have the apron skirt, blouse, shoes, and bows pictured (the bows in the collage are the dark variant of what I have -- they're attached to elastics, but I'm planning to put one on a headband or alligator clip and wear it like that).

I'm mostly trying to figure out how to make it a little more exciting. Considering black cardigan and white fur collar? Maybe a white capelet? White gloves?

[Anonymous No.7250315]

Red or black (probably black to match the shoes) hooded cardigan, the tights look good with black cardigan and if you go for a red cardigan get white knee highs.

I agree with you on the rabbit hat I picked, it was frighteningly the best of the bunch that google images turned up.
I'm keen to use rabbit ears as it seems Easter may be the only really acceptable time to wear them with a lolita outfit.
However my back up plan is a matching beret with a rosette bunny brooch (see image)

The text says they show the map of the Castle of Baerum, but there's not a lot of info about that online, except that it's located in Norway and not particularly a "castle", so I doubt the translation is correct.

The Castle Photographs tights also says they are pictures of the Castle of Baerum, but at least one is a photo of Castle Stalker in Scotland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Stalker

Portrait is of Bianca de' Medici, usually known as Bia de' Medici, (c.1536 – 1 March 1542), painted after her death: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bia_de'_Medici

I did manage to discover however that the chambers on the left leg belong to the Circus Maximus, a Roman chariot racing stadium. All quite bizarre really, I can't help but think they were trying to say something but I have no idea what(!). Either way it seems a bit dark and possibly a tad pretentious.

I think that all looks great, only thing I would suggest is that the necklace should be a little more elaborate, detailed and perhaps fairy-tale like - it's nice but it seems too ordinary mainstream compared to the nature of the dress, which is anything but everyday and commonplace. I'd still go for something elegant, just think details.

I can't see any type of cardigan or jacket really working with that sleeves cut, instead a traditional lolita shape coat would be much better in my opinion, if you need warmth when outside etc.

The necklace thing is actually something for your hair, but I was thinking of going for a 1-chain subtle hairchain, this was just an example I found. Would adding a necklace be too much? And what sort of necklace do you mean by fairy-tale like? A broader "expensive-looking" necklace or a fairy-tale themed one?

Have a dream dress on the way :D But since my whole wardrobe is white/pink wanted to see some ideas of a few things I could get to match with this better.

match it with white/pink, anon! it would be cute. just do red accents. like a red bracelet/hair clip/shoes.

[Anonymous No.7271349]

>>7271327
sorry that entire coord looks really bad and i dont even know where to start. it would probably just be better off with some cute eccentric clothes other than the ones used in lolita fashion.

the bloomers, especially, are very out-of place. It would be much better with cute shorts, and I'd suggest offwhite or pink thigh-highs. I personally don't like the wig and prefer dyed hair for this kind of on-the-streets-of-harajuku look. If you cant or dont want to dye your hair, natural would probably be best, so you look cute and cozy without looking oddly overdone or trying too hard.

If youre shopping right now I'd suggest a cute bright blush and pink eyeshadow as well. I think the blouse would be best if it was chiffon, and the vest was of very high quality.

Sorry to ramble. Anon, I mean it in the most loving way, but the coord you made is just all kinds of whatthefuck.

oh and also i found this cute faux fur vest. its dont fawn but i think it will look better than the caplet. The capelet makes you look too top-heavy and seems out of place. I would suggest the caplet if you chose a cute wool miniskirt instead.

I'd say you'll have to tone it down a lot, solid colours, black tights or OTKs, black blouse, dark red bolero (is the bow at the neck detachable? i'd take it off if it is) dark red shoes, some red and black roses in your hair perhaps?

Got this in the mail recently, I love it and have made several coords with it except for the headwear. I don't like head eating bows and I didn't buy the matching one to it, but I don't feel like floral accessories go with this dress at all and they conform most of my headgear, so I'm at a loss. The only time I have worn it out I used some twin bow clips in black trimmed with gold but I wanted to see what else can you come up with.

So I bought two bodyline poodle apron skirts, removed the aprons and turned the hearts into a tote bag and then made wrist cuffs and a headbow. I still have a bunch of fabric left as well as a bunch of small bows and some plastic pearls. What socks should I buy to pair, and what else should I make to match? I plan on wearing a wavy blonde wig and blue contacts when I wear this If that helps any

If you're into bonnets, you can use leftover fabric to make one. I think white ankle socks would work ok if you accent your shoes with some blue.

I think you have to throw in a little bit of the red and blue from the tights to tie them in. I would add a brooch or shoe clips or a little accent accessory added on to whatever you put in your hair (or maybe a combo of the three). Honestly I would personally ditch the pink altogether if I were going to use those tights, but you could probably make it work.
