I've been trying to save up for a dress form, but even the smallest adjustable ones are too big.

For hip measurements, would it be the circumference around your butt or hipbones?

i'm getting so tired of lolita. I live in texas, and now when it's winter all the buildings are hot as hell inside because nobody can take the cold and so i'm confined to wearing it -only- outside on saturdays and sundays or get a heatstroke trying to be a daily lolita. in the summertime its too fuckin hot anyway and i sweat like a pig before i get my foot in a door.
goddamn it. i either discard loli rules or physically suffer. i'm a lone lolita. why should i even care? i guess they're just really ingrained.

Butt is lower hip, hipbones is top hip. If they just say hip, they probably mean lower hip, since it's the larger measurement.

When I buy new things my mother will always comment "that's pretty, but you never go out".
When I finally do get to go out and I get dressed up, my mother will say "Why on earth are you so dressed up? It's not a fashion show"
I can't go out often because of my health and when I wear all my make up and a wig I look healthy and it makes me happy.
I have talked to her about it but she still says these things. It's been four fucking years already, I have given up on my life, I just want to forget about everything and look pretty every once in awhile.

Not specifically Jfash or cosplay related, but pre-drama ban cgl related. Especially since the only reason I know about this shit is through cgl.

On another board I go to, I saw another teenage girl praising Felice Fawn.

I'm in my mid twenties, and I stopped caring about e-celebs a while ago, but Felice still seriously gets under my skin because of how many young girls look up to her and try to take after her and how she seemingly just doesn't give a fuck how many of these kids she's hurting so long as people are throwing money at her.

I remember when people used to get in a huff about pop stars from last century like Spears, Agulera, and Simpson being bad role models because "they glorify sex!"

Looooooooooooooooooooool.

I just took the Beck Depression Inventar Test (not sure if this is the correct English term), a test which my uncle, who is a psychologist, suggested as a test which is usually done to check if a patient has depressions, and scored fucking 26 points, which clearly throws me into the moderatly severe depressions.
I took the test on various legitimate platforms, all with the same result: moderatly severe depressions.

But I just dont know what to do. I dont even know what to do or feel anymore.

The worst thing is: I should be happy! I had a pretty good childhood, have a loving and caring family, a stabile home, I study eactly what I wanted to study at the University I wanted to go, I am healthy. There is no real resaon I shouldnt be happy, no reason to be depressed. It just doesnt make any sense to me.
And I feel so bad about it. Like a spoiled child who just wants attention, who is ungrateful. I should be happy, I should try harder.

I dont dare to talk to anyone about this. I am not sure if I should go to the mental health centre at my Uniersity; I feel so wrong about this, like a poser - I should be happy and content with my life.

Any advices?

Dwell on it and you surely will fall into depression.
It's like looking up symptoms online. Just because a site says you have a terminal illness because your arm itches, doesn't mean you have it. If you feel happy and you're not doing harm to yourself, then you should be fine.

Nah, I did not take the test for random "Look it up at the interwebs!!"-reasons.
I felt very bad for the past 6 month - I rarely go out, I avoid people because I cannot stand to talk to anyone, I cannot motivate myself to do anything, be it work or Uni stuff. I feel sad most of the time and angry because I feel sad for no reason. I feel like a social retard because in the past 3 month I did not make any friends or even met someone from Uniersity outside the Uni. I feel like I cannot relate to anyone. I get annoyed so fast and I am rude to everyone around me even if they didnt do anything to me.
I just feel... Like a different person. I know myself, and I am currently at the lowest point in my life regarding my feels even if I am supposed to feel great.

Somebody help me stop buying bodyline. Please.

I have a wardrobe of nearly 20 bodyline main pieces and 15 blouses, boleros, etc from bodyline. Not to mention my bodyline shoe collection. I keep telling myself everytime I save up, to get something decent. Buy a nice offbrand piece, heck buy some brand. Then I always end up blowing it all on bodyline because I'm such a sucker for quantity over quality. I want a nice wardrobe, but I want a big wardrobe more-so. This needs to stop. It's become an addiction.

I didn't think Bodyline had 20 passable main pieces? I thought there was only like five? Surely you'll run out of not-shit things to buy soon, and from there you should be fine.

How about, every time you buy a Bodyline piece, make yourself sell three of the ones that you already have, but don't do this for non-Bodyline purchases. Maybe you can condition yourself against Bodyline, haha.

I've had depression since I was 12 so I totally get where you are coming from anon. I have a supportive and loving family, great friends, and a good life. But when you have depression you feel like you are alone and dying inside. My advice is to surround yourself with friends and family, do the things you love, look for a therapist and talk about your feelings, and stay positive even if there is nothing to be positive about. I know it is hard to go out and socialize and pretend you are happy when you're not but you have to try and live life to the fullest.
I hope you figure out what is going on and start to feel better anon.

All that matters is how you coordinate it. Remember, there are some girls that would be jealous of your wardrobe. However if you want to stop buying bodyline, the only thing I suggest is to buy something from closet child for the same price as a bodyline OP and then compare the difference in quality. I'm sure you'll fall in love with higher quality pieces and want to scrap your bodyline wardrobe. But I really wouldn't worry about it, anon!

People seem to be attracted to her face, which is all just photoshop. That's about all they see of her and immediately it's "Omg she's so pretty she must be an amazing person"

Did people actually get more superficial over the past decade or was I just too unaware of it before?

>>7330418
Oh god where to begin.
>She's a scam artist.

She's sold prints of herself without asking permission from the photographers, and has ignored their messages about it.

She's had multiple online stores. One which she claims wasn't her even though the whois data shows the site is registered under her alias.

She's stolen other people's art and photography for use on her clothing and made blatant knockoffs of other people's accessories.

Many of the products are nothing like the quality on the sites. cut-off shirts have literally been "cut off" with scissors hastily, images aren't vectored before being printed so instead of getting a clean image on a shirt people have gotten giant squares with a picture in them.

People have confirmed that as soon as she makes a sale, she spends the money and then procrastinates shipping or even making the item. She's ripped many people off this way.

(It's hilarious how these bullet points can also apply to many other e-celeb's stores over the past few years It's like they all take after each other's poor choices)

>She's a photoshop queen
She actually looks ridiculously average compared to the Felice Fawn you normally see. Her lips are thinner, her face is rounder and puffier, her nose is more bulbous, her jaw and cheeks aren't as defined, etc.

She, of course, denies all of it.

She also has photoshopped her arms, legs, and waist thinner. She normally has a very boxy, shapeless frame.

My measurements are 38-31-37. (Not having bigger hips makes me feel so masculine, but that's another story.) I'm not obese, but I'm not skinny either. I'm kind of just, in that awkward in-between stage and it sucks! I want to buy cute new clothes, but not until I get a <30 inch waist. I have a lot of reasons for losing weight, (mainly to feel better about myself, and to get /fit./) but one of the reasons is for cosplay, and I've always wanted to wear lolita! I want to dive into cosplay and lolita so badly right now, waiting is so difficult.

I was at a weight loss plateau for months, until I began lifting 3x a week, eating 1700 cal of lean meat, veggies and fruits six days a week. (I have one cheat day.) It's working! However it requires me to really work to eat right.

Getting rather personal, I have two ways with dealing with my problems and my stress, self harm and eating. I've tried to stop both, but I've discovered when I stop doing one, the desire to do the other increases tenfold. I haven't self harmed in two weeks, and I want to just eat everything in my house. It doesn't help that my parents buy up the wazoo in junk food.

>She uses animals as props
Countless times she brags about "rescuing" animals. Those animals all end up dying in her care. She has complained so many times about being poor, yet she continues to take in animals and neglect them.

Countless times she's claimed animals "ran away" or "got eaten by another animal" after being "given to her dad. Quotation marks because it's suspected they never even make it to her dad and just die in her (lack of) care.

Worst of all
>She completely, utterly, without a doubt glorifies and glamorizes eating disorder, alcohol and hard drug addiction, and self harm
Which is what gets me the most because Alexa data has shown her primary audience is girls under 25. I was a misguided, neglected teen once, and I had trouble with self harm. To see someone who is essentially in the position of a role model promoting it and other, much worse, things to girls at that age is absolutely disgusting.

She openly says she had an ED and claims to have recovered and not be pro-ana, but she routinely posts pictures using typical "thinspo" poses like hunching over to show her emaciated ribs or leaning forward and twisting her legs to show her stick legs and lack of belly fat. People have been "triggered" by her pictures and Google's auto complete shows ED terms are most commonly searched with her name, but she acts like she isn't aware of her fame in pro-ana communities and when someone actually said they relapsed because of her, she poked fun at the person and said "well if people aren't posting me then they're just posting someone else"

She also denies she still has an ED, but she definitely does.

She has photos where she's showing off cuts on her arms, has photoshopped her self harm scars to be more apparent in some pictures which feature her arms as a primary focus, and there's some who suspect some of the fresh cuts in some of her pictures may be photoshopped on.

She snorted coke live on webcam and bragged about it on Twitter, and her sister commented along the lines of "you're doing that again?" indicating she's had drug addictions before. She's also bragged about drinking 4 bottles of wine in a day, and made her alcoholism highly apparent in other posts, but denies she's still addicted to alcohol.

She's a typical histrionic and her entire act can be summed up as "I'm an innocent little injured fawn who suffers from so much, pay attention to me and give me money so I feel better."

>>7330456

The only friends I have are internet friends. My only points of contact with people who aren't coworkers or family members are the internet and when I go out.

I got rid of a bunch of my clothes and kept the ones that were small enough to fit me after dropping some weight in depression. The ones I kept were mostly things I never wore in public, such as OTKs, shorter skirts, fandom hoodies, slimmer-fitting pants. I'm saving money, but I bought a few shirts and jeans. I only change out of pajamas when I leave the house, and when I do, I wear those clothes to the store, or out to eat. I get critical looks because I'm in a skirt and tights+socks instead of pants, and some people even outright say things behind me about it being too cold, like they think I'm deaf.

My legs are colder when I wear jeans... And when it's warm, if you can see a bit of my leg over the knee past my socks when I walk, it's the most scandalous thing. Never mind that I used to have hair down to my rear and wore high twintails, if I did that now in combination with my clothes I would probably die of embarrassment.

Should I just give up and forgo it all for some pants? I'm not in a position to cosplay for the time being, and wearing socks and skirts makes me feel like a kawaii bishoujo desu. But maybe I just look like a slutty weeaboo 13-year-old who gets dressed in the dark.

Anon, I haven't worn pants in two years. I wear twintails sometimes when I wear thigh highs since I think it looks adorable. Yeah, I get weird looks but it can't be helped. Even if you wore pants people would still find something to bitch about. I stopped wearing jeans because my legs get so cold in them during the winter. Tights with OTKs so warm to me but people really don't get it.

I'm 24 and I love lolita so much, but am thinking about giving it up. I just moved away from a great place where I was a lone lolita, but my regular friends and society accepted me for it, and my other friends loved my outfits. Now that I've moved away I sit around and do nothing. The comm out here isn't super active (they are a bit and that's nice) but they are also younger than me by a bit, so it can be hard to relate and make friends.
I really miss my old friends, who weren't lolitas but were just insanely chill and awesome. I thought I might be able to make new friends through the comm, but it doesnt look like that's going to happen.

I had a similar experience, pretty happy life, super motivated and stuff. Then starting my second year of uni I started feeling less and less motivated and didn't understand what was happening. I went from straight A's to flunking half my classes in the space of a year, and I didn't realize it was depression, just thought it was stress and felt really guilty about it. It felt like I was no longer myself, and I ended up breaking down and not seeking treatment for a long time.

Please, please go get checked out by a medical professional. Even just to know what your options are. It took getting on medication for me to realize it wasn't my fault, it was just something wrong in my brain.

I wish I could find some motivation to get all of the costumes I want to do done. I always start a project, get from 20%-75% finished, and then depression hits, and I abandon it to go cry under my covers. And when I feel good enough to get back to work, I'm intimidated by it and feel like I'll fuck it up, so I just start something new instead, and the cycle starts all over.

I also wish I had cosplay friends in the city I just moved to, but I won't be living here past July, so I feel weird even trying to get close to people just to leave again. I wish my cosplay friends from back home would ever commit to getting a group done. It's clear that I'm always on the backburner when their costumes with other people who live closer look great, and then when it comes to what we're doing together, they either don't get them done or totally half ass it.

I'm going to start tomorrow in setting crafting daily goals for myself, just small things to ensure I keep working and in hopes that I'll hit a groove and want to do more and more. We'll see.

I have worked my uni timetable around my lolita comm monthly meet ups.
Lolita dragged my arse out of depression this year and made me really desire something more out of my life. I'm worried that if I don't have the regular frilly contact whilst I'm at uni I'll get slack and lose all motivation to even get out of bed.
It may seem like getting out of bed and being motivated by a bunch of dresses is a stupid reason is live, but right now it's working and it makes me feel like there'll be even better things on the horizon to make me feel internally motivated to keep improving my life.

I feel like I've lost all of my motivation to work on cosplay.

Wait for me and we'll do it together!" And then..... they never.... did it. And I felt like an asshole if I worked on stuff ("What do you mean you're almost done with __ anon?? I thought we were gonna cosplay together") so I just kind of stopped.

And now I don't ever feel like working. It's got such a negative connotation now. Not to mention that I've been kind of depressed and I've gained weight because of it and I'm really upset about it. I want to work out but I hate doing it in front of other people and I share a room. I know the answer is stop making excuses and just fucking do it, but it's hard.

just dress for your body. Buy a waist corset (NOT underbust) to give yourself a shape. Try on your dresses without a petti, your hip size might make them balance out, which is why they could make you baloonish. Find a smaller petti without as much fluff if you need a bit extra. Invest in some shape-wear or even a bust minmizer.

Apologize profusely and buy her a new one of the same capacity as the one you can't find. Don't ask if she wants a new one, just replace the one you lost. Buying her a new one shows that you aren't an awful and completely irresponsible person, and that you feel bad about misplacing her property.

>she eventually says something (i don't know what) that makes Z get really upset and me and another friend of his have to comfort him for a few minutes
>i've only heard the occasional story about this girl from Z and end up learning just how unstable she is and how she causes problems for not only him but the whole group by being an egotistical, guilt-tripping brat
>hear from Z the night after we all get home she ended up causing a lot of stress for him when they went back up to the room and was in a rotten mood the next day until she left
On the bright side, we managed to get back into the swing of things shortly after she called and caused issues. We had fun, his other friends turned out to be really cool people etc. But still, yikes. I feel so bad for all of them and just wish them the best with dealing with her.

Why would you do this to yourself?

[Anonymous No.7334013]

So I'm sorta friends (by association and proximity) with a group of mostly borderline autists and I feel despair every time they announce wanting to cosplay another character 'cause 100% sure they'll fuck it up and look terrible. Problem is I don't really have the heart to tell them not to cosplay or that they look terrible, because some of them particularly said they don't care what people say. But I really don't want to see this bro's hairy gut hanging out when he decides to cosplay Ryuko.

On that note, sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere when it comes to groups of friends. I don't particularly fit anywhere so I end up kinda floatin around between groups and it gets pretty lonely.
It's either the borderline autists who can't cosplay for shit but are nice people, or the cool kids who are amazing cosplayers but can really be gossipy little fuckers sometimes.
I'm a noob ass cosplayer myself, so I'm not that much better than the autists, but I'm fortunate enough to be cute and know how to look good so the cool cats accept me, but I just can't keep up with them. I don't like their sense of humor especially when they actively make fun of people, especially when they're making fun of the other group of my friends. I'm not very social either and am quite shy so I just end up standing there doing nothing but smile and laugh. I'm so much more comfortable talking to these borderline autists/weebs/whatever, maybe because I'm one my self, who knows, but they're such a goddamn eyesore.

Maybe it's time to permanently move to lolita so I can buy all my clothes without being looked down on and still be kawaii, I don't know.

Feeling bad about it can be one of the symptoms. I was in the same boat-- nearly flunked out of a prestigious college because I just couldn't drag my ass out of bed because nothing on earth mattered any more. I went to the uni health center and had some sessions and got some meds and long story short, four years later I have a good job and am back to doing the things I enjoy. It's worth it to see someone, I promise.

Think of it like strep throat. When your symptoms get bad enough, you go to the doctor and get antibiotics, you don't just try and fight through on your own. Depression and related illnesses are ILLNESSES, and can be treated.

What's worse is she has focused so much on just trying to build up a wardrobe that no thought has gone into what is in it, it's all secondhand bodyline dresses and cheap ass accessories. She could sell half of them and have enough for brand dress and some decent socks and shoes, but then it'd be a waste since she won't buy a fucking petticoat to wear under it.

Know two people who want to become more involved in Lolita fashion. One likes buying "lolita" dresses from those scam riddled + poor quality cosplay costume websites, the other just wants to wear the dresses for the sake they're 'pretty' and don't really care for the aesthetics of it all.

I find all the decent advice blogs I can on the fashion, photos of Lolitas I admire, themes and everything else you could think of, only to get this sort of feedback like it's just some form of cosplay.

Blonde hair and gothic lolita looks really nice. I mainly wear Gothic and sometimes classic but I have very dark hair. Pale people unite! I'm not extremely pale but it's still quite different as I live in a very tropical place where everyone has a tan.

Since you like gothic lolita/it suits best do you happen to have any goth clothes?I recommend BPN for blouses as they are quite cheap secondhand and have a very gothic look. Shoe wise you really wouldn't need to buy brand as there are a lot or taobao/offbrand shoes that work well gothic lolita. You can even make your own hair pieces if you are creative.

>tfw losing weight
>tfw not eating any less
>tfw not more active than usual
>don't know whether to be happy or worried
My weight's been a constant since high school, except when I started gaining that freshman 15 and just cut down a bit on eating, then my weight stabilized again.
I don't own a scale, so I'm not sure of my exact my exact weight, but I've lost two inches off of my waistline without noticing in a little less than a month. Last time I checked my weight, I was 104lbs. I was a fat kid for most of my life until mid-high school, and the lowest I remember being was 103. I want to see if I can get below 100, like maybe 97-98, since I don't think I've weighed that little since middle school, probably. I'm also 5', just to clear that up.

But I have no idea what's causing me to lose weight. It could be I'm eating a little bit less than usual, though I think I'd notice it, as I don't eat much as it is. I work a desk job around classes, so I don't get much more exercise than your average pencil pusher. I've scheduled a doctors appointment just to make sure I'm not dying or anything( I feel fine, but just to be on the safe side), but I really would like to know what's causing this sudden weight loss. Whatever it is, it's working.
Pic kind of related. It was recently my birthday and I didn't have any cake because I want those inches from my waistline to stay the fuck away.

>other just wants to wear the dresses for the sake they're 'pretty' and don't really care for the aesthetics of it all

IDK if related, but this shit baffles me whenever I go to a con. There's always at least 5 girls in lolita (mainly bodyline or milanoo tier) dresses, but with no lolita coordination whatsoever. I'm not even talking like barely loliable ofbrand, they straight up wear a pink polkadot dress with black martens, fishnet stockings and MLP figurines made into pendants.

And then they look at me like I'm some snobbish elitist brandwhore, because I'm wearing an old AP print bought off mbok for 8000 yen. It's not even just my personal notion, some girls actually wrote posts after a certain con complaining about "snooty fake lolitas".

>>other just wants to wear the dresses for the sake they're 'pretty' and don't really care for the aesthetics of it all
I don't know, I think i can respect that choice.
I mean, lots of kids wear religious jewelry because they like borrowing the look of it, but they don't want to pray to God or anything.

As long as they don't insist that they are fully lolitas but instead that they're into just street fashion in general, let them wear whatever they like.

[Anonymous No.7336224]

So there is a guy that I like. No big deal except for damn, he sends me off some really extreme messages. One time he totally hits on me and later he's like back off. I think I have a crush on him... I told him about lolita, showed him my dresses. He was really interested in them, even said these were beautiful. I'm not sure if he's hitting on me because I wear lolita or maybe lolita puts him off. One day he's for my every call and the other he says I'm imposing myself onto him. I have no idea what to do, seagulls. I think I should just let him go but I can't.

Ugh you thank you for reminding me of my gripe.

There was this weeaboo girl who used to hang out with my group who was short and overweight (kinda think 4'9 foot, 130pounds kinda overweight?), had terrible styling and dental hygiene and as soon as one of my friends lent her a Anna House dress,she considers herself the living incarnate of lolicon. Like I mean constantly shoehorning herself into conversations whenever my lolita fashion gets mentioned (I'm the only full time wearer of it) about how she just totally can never wear lolita because shes sooo afraid adult men will confuse her for a little girl omg!!11

Now picture a horribly groomed, dyed black mess of chin length hair with an undercut, ungroomed brows and nasal voice and we got a winner + the proportions mentioned above.

I'm so glad shes moved states but I cant believe none of my friends could see through that shit.

Are you in your early twenties? Around this time many people have a shift in metabolism, and lose weight unintentionally. It doesn't stick around for long though, so if you want to keep your current weight I'd advice you to start exercising.
Or you may be stressed. I lost a lot of weight last year, because I was feeling sick all the time due to high stress.

A few questions:

Have you been thirstier than usual? Using the toilet more often?
Have you had loose bowel movements/unusual schedule of movements?
Does your vision ever get a bit 'off' or is it hard to focus on things? (ex: you're reading a book and suddenly the letters seem to jump around)
Have you had headaches? Particularly upon waking?

It's an indicator of issues along the diabetic range/hyperglycaemia. Usually easy to reverse with exercise and a slight change in diet. Other symptoms to watch for as it worsens are discomfort during sex (particularly for women), fatigue, lightheadedness, and tingly or numb extremities (fingers and toes).

A lot of people ignore the early signs because they're not that severe, and the longer it's allowed to linger, the harder it is to reverse.

[Anonymous No.7336254]

>>7336248
One or two of these sound like symptoms of diabetes but it could be a bunch of things.

I know before a friend of mine was diagnosed she dropped a lot of weight, now she has to inject and has put it all back on with a little extra and she's having trouble shifting it.

Chew nicotine gum (if you're of age). It's addictive enough to replace eating to help you drop that extra inch or two around your waist, but not addictive enough (in my experience) to keep you running back to the store buying box after box. After a month your stomach will have shrunk and you'll be fine to go back to eating as you please so long as you remember to never eat until you're "full", just eat until you're "not hungry"

One of my friends wants to make a Kyary cosplay for when we go to the concert together and I reaaaaally want to discourage her but nothing seems to be changing her mind. It just doesn't seem that appropriate and kind of strikes me as being like the people who specifically dress up for guests at cons in the hopes of getting noticed/remembered. How do I convince her to not be such a tryhard?

[Anonymous No.7336467]

There were tons of cosplays when I went to her last concert in London, unless you're singing at the top of your voice in the queue pretending to be kyary then it isn't annoying or tryhard at all.

Friend working on my commission had to can the project due to unforeseen events. Thankfully i didn't pay up yet but still, I was pretty excited to do a new cosplay this year because I haven't debut a new one in almost two years and I'm tired of cosplaying the same three things.

Underbusts cup the breasts and push them way up. If you're already with a larger chest, it makes them look gigantic, and it ruins the look and fit of most lolita. Plain waist corsets, not waist cinchers; you can't tighten them like you do a corset, are good for making your waist and belly smaller.
