Lolita pet peeves thread. I'll start.

>putting a huge petticoat under a empire waist/ baby doll JSK.

Jesus Christ I hate how that looks. It looks especially awful on plus sized lolitas.Tbh I think really pear shaped girls could pull off an empire waisted dress without any petti at all if the dress had some tulle built in (I know that's the case with some AP high waist jsks.) This grinds my gears to the point that I could write a strongly worded essay on the subject.

[Anonymous No.7259320]

I have a baby jsk like this and have no idea what kind of petti to wear with it.
If I don't wear a petti, the dress looks sad.
All of the pettis I do have are a little too poofy, I think. I also think that they're length looks really weird with it, as it creates a slight bulge around my waist, which is lower than the waist of the dress.

[Anonymous No.7259323]

>>7259314
probably because some brands like AP stick a huge petti under anything

[Anonymous No.7259324]

>>7259320
Try bodyline's PAN057, the lack of extreme poof in their pettis make them great for babydoll jsks.

My pet peeve is big chunky shoes. They look like clown shoes and aren't elegant at all. They make lolita look like a costume. I don't understand how anyone could think they look good

My friend has an irritating habit of naming her co-ords. Not a name like 'gothic co-ord' or '[print name] co-ord', but more along the lines of 'sugary dream of love in kawaii land'. I've noticed a similar trend on tumblr where girls add a quote from a random fairy tale or shakespeare play.

[Anonymous No.7259616]

One of my favorite things about Moss Märchen is her including excerpts from fairytales with her coords.

[Anonymous No.7259618]

>>7259340
I think they're only suited to old-school or gothic outfits. Classic it definitely doesn't work, and it can look ageplay with sweet.

[Anonymous No.7259619]

>>7259606
Mossmarchen does it because she make theme coordinates based on fairy tails or any other books in facts, so it have some sense.I sometimes "name" my coord by their inspiration, but I understand how it can be bothering

[Anonymous No.7259624]

My pet peeve are girls carrying around stuffed animals as outfit props. The animal bags actually don't bother me (at least not the nice looking ones), but when they add a regular stuffed animal, god I hate that.

Also, giant twin-tail wigs ofr any color.

[Anonymous No.7259635]

>>7259338
I think we've had this discussion before, but I'll chime in to say I hate coords where people don't match the tones of colors. Warm toned pinks, for example, may not be exactly the same color but together you wouldn't notice much of a difference at all. Some people can't differentiate or don't try and end up mixing warm with cold and it ends up looking worse than it should.

I do get what you're saying though, but I think it's more tone mixing that's the issue and people don't realize it.

[Anonymous No.7259658]

>>7259616
I'd love Moss Marchen's ones if they weren't all so bloody long to read for a coord post.

For you, anon. Left is warm, middle is neutral/pure color, and right is cold. Pink doesn't really have a neutral (for Red I just used 255 on RGB) so I made them much more obvious differences.

On second thought maybe I just shoulda left the neutral red out since it looks kinda close to the orangey-red, but ah well. They are still different shades.

You have to look closely but it should all be visible with the naked eye.

I'm confused... in another thread, a girl posted a would-be coord of a pale green dress with a red bolero and red stockings, and got told that she knows jack shit about complementary colors.
But, to me, the colors looked just fine, it was just too red and too much of it.

I'm scared of looking like a bad ita myself, but when I actually went to look at the color wheel purple and yellow looked horrid together even though they're supposed to be complementary.

So, what's the deal with the colors?

[Anonymous No.7259888]

>>7259884
go learn color theory... Until then stop posting

[Anonymous No.7259895]

>>7259884
"Complementary" in terms of the color wheel terminology doesn't really mean that they look good together, it just refers to their position on the wheel. Rather, they contrast each other, and an extreme contrast in lolita can be especially jarring and not really the kind of look you'd be going for in most cases.

The issue with pairing those colors is that the red in the picture was very orangey-warm, and the greens if I remember right were like a spring green, it seemed rather cool. Pairing contrasting (complementary) colors (red and green) in contrasting temperatures (warm vs cool). Altogether it was a lot of contrast.

That said, I think it was just one anon (probably the one below) getting her bloomers in a twist about a color pair that was really not the worst thing you could do. At least it wasn't something horribly tacky like red x purple or bright christmas red and green paired together, both colors were fairly desaturated, iirc the red was like a weak rust color?

You just feel if it 'fits', if you know what I mean. If a coordinate looks good to you, remember the color combination. Are the tones warm or cool? That's more important in a coordinate than color itself. Please don't mix warm and cool tones.

Almost forgot my biggest one; buying something second had in supposedly perfect condition only for that to not be the case. Two of the three times this happened to me with this year were dream dresses I paid top dollar for (actually, slightly more than top dollar), one of which was supposed to be BNWT. I used to think buyers who made me double check my items for flaws I may not have initially noticed were being high maintenance, but now I completely understand. I have one more dress on the way, and I'm so afraid there will be something wrong with it even though it's NWT since that apparently doesn't 100% guarantee perfection.

I think that's the problem... most people who buy them are fatties who see 'free bust' on a dress and go 'ITLL BE SOOO KAWAII!'.

Kind of off-topic, but I'm wondering. How do lolita feel when they're asked at an anime convention for pictures?

I asked several lolita at Sakuracon for their pictures, complimenting their dresses. I didn't say they were cosplaying or anything. (I was cosplaying and was wearing a huge hoop skirt, so one lolita called me a 'petticoat bud', which was cute.)

I only thought after I got home on day 3 that maybe these girls thought I was taking their picture because I figured they were in cosplay? I didn't. But sometimes I feel awkward thinking about it.

Also on the topic of salopettes, there's one girl in my comm (Illinois girls might know who I mean) who is fat and keeps buying salopettes because they "have a free bust measurement!" and she looks awful in them.

I should never have taken that college biology class on microbes and human health. We did one experiment where we placed Petri dishes on every possible surface of a bathroom stall, and flushed the toilet (with no visible bodily fluid or matter in the bowl, just clear water). When the dishes were ready, ALL of them were growing stuff. Just from the unseen spray of an empty toilet's flush.

I know it's just clothes and germs are a normal (in fact you could get sick if you don't have enough normal bacteria around to crowd out deadly ones). But that one class experiment always makes me go ?God damn it" every time one of those laser-sensor toilets goes off and flushes the moment I stand up while gripping my lolita skirts and petticoat.

The mentality with wearing lolita at cons is similar to cosplaying, actually; if you don't feel comfortable with people taking pictures, you probably don't want to do it. Personally, I get excited when people ask. I see it as kind of an honor.

She's one of those people who can't decide if they hate brand or love it. She has a total "brandwhores are out to get me!" complex and her opinions on whether she supports replicas or not changes depending on whether she's talking to somebody in the comm or posting on her Tumblr. Hopefully she'll grow out of it.

My peeve is girls who talk big game in regards to meet plan ups, outfits and wardrobes but then either
lose interest half way though or don't even start the process of working out how it could be done.

I'm also really looking forward to moving next year as my comm has drank deeply form the poisonous Tumblr well.
I'm tired of hearing about any fandom and hate the fact that everyone's sexuality and gender must be discussed.

I hate the fact that as open as these girls claim to be, they are incredibly heterophobic and it is purely because it is seen as the super uncool sexuality.

I am looking forward to being a lone lolita for next year. I will have a big comm an hour or so away so I can make it to the big meets if I want to.

TL:DR- Those darn tumblr kids won't get off my lawn!!!!

I think it's fine. If you go to a con wearing anything more interesting than jeans and a tshirt then you should expect people to want to take pictures.

This happened to me, but I was shocked because I thought closet child would have noticed and mentioned a busted zipper? I went to zip it up (it was laying on my bed, hadn't even tried it on yet) and the zipper went all the way to the top, didn't zip ANYTHING and then proceeded to get stuck at the top of the dress. I have no trustworthy tailors in town, kill me. (there's one, and she decided to put a new zipper on a dress in a contrasting colour when I just asked her to patch up a hole that was nowhere near the zipper.)
In short, yeah, that's a big pet peeve of mine, too.

Do keep in mind that a decent portion of lolitas at conventions may also participate in cosplay. Not all of them, but a sizeable chunk of the lolitas I know are also cosplayers and found the fashion through cosplay and the convention scene.

I don't mind it at all and will gladly pose. It just kinda gets a little awkward when people ask "what are you cosplaying from?" And then I have to explain that it's not a costume but a Japanese street fashion, I'm just myself in cute clothes.

Once in awhile you'll get the people that are so high and mighty, asking for a picture in their everyday clothing! Hmph! (at a convention where it's the norm to dress unusually) Or storm off screaming "IT'S NOT A FUCKING COSTUME!!!" But then the rest of us sane folks just laugh at them.

Not that poster, but I generally like glasses with or without lolita and I find these really off-putting and unflattering. They're just too big, don't work well on her face, and clash with her outfits.
