Anon could have accidentally ordered the wrong colour when they contacted their SS. The SS could have simply ordered the wrong colour. The colour could have been different than what anon was expecting, etc.

sometimes I hate when I find one thing on a Japanese auction site I really want. I buy the one thing and think how I have to make shipping worth it and do a huge buying spree. I have the money, but spending so much at once kind of makes me feel guilty, but I love once I get the order and it's a huge box!

I'm doing a very old school blackxwhite coord for anime matsuri so far I have: black IW jsk, the white blouse from the AATP lucky pack this year, an offbrand black beret, IW white crown otks. So my question is what should I do for accessories or something to take this coord from very basic.

i was an event model once, for JetJ.

-Its really fucking tiring
-like, extremely. i was out there at 8 am and it was non stop until 3pm.
-Its really nice getting your hair and makeup done for you, though
-if you get a professional make up artist, prepare to not be able to recognize yourself and maybe to be a little self concious of your appearance because of that
-imo, its not really worth it unless you are getting paid, receiving a free gift, or are meeting the designer.

In my case, I got to meet Nakamura-san, who gave us free JetJ leggings. Honestly I felt bad for the btssb models who worked their asses off too and didn't get anything in the end. All that work to wear a dress and model it for a bit.. eh.

Hi CGL
I just got a bonus at work and I wanted to use it to spend on my first brand. I heard closet child was a good place to get a cheap first dress or outfit so I put together this one.
Could I please have some input? I'm not sure about the headband thing. Should I get a head bow instead?
Also what kind of shoes should I get. I was just going to buy some from Bodyline but I heard that bodyline is ita so maybe I will keep looking on closet child for some pink shoes.
I really want to be head to toe in AP though since it is my dream for the past few months.
Any suggestions are very welcome!

[Anonymous No.7362576]

>>7362477
MAM doesn't really name all their prints like AP or Meta do, either. I think it's because they tend to find generic printed fabric rather than designing them all themselves, although I could be wrong about that.

This isn't going to look good, there's too much going on in the way of frills, there's not much cohesion and the cut of the blouse would look bad with the skirt. What are your favourite colours? I'll try to put together a better outfit for you on a budget. Also, what's your budget like?

[Anonymous No.7362583]

>>7362559
The blouse and skirt are fine but your accessories look like a random clusterfuck. Since the blouse and skirt are so OTT you pretty much have to match everything to them and it's probably easiest to stick to a two-colour scheme for a first outfit. The headdress, clearly, does NOT match and would be a weird block of white in your outfit even with the polkadots in the socks. The socks actually could work with the outfit, but I'd be looking for pink and black hair accessories and some different jewellery.

So I'm ~5"5" which means I'm kinda used to being taller than a lot of other lolitas, but my legs are kinda stumpy for my height. Working on my first sweet co-ord and I don't know if I should get shoes with a small heel or not. The heel will make my legs look longer but it'll also make me taller that might not be a good thing. Any advice?

Sweet and OTT sweet are my favorite ways to dress (not daily, but for fun with friends/bf), and I am turning 30 this year. Does anyone have some good tips to make sweet a bit more mature?

There are other ribbon watch faces out there too, you don't need timex. I just like the glow, tick, and how respected they are. I can trust it to last a while.

empire waist is referring specifically to the waist only

I have a question about shipping prices/lacemarket. I recently sold an item, and I had stated everywhere that international shipping was very expensive and the buyer should comment for an estimate before bidding.
However, the person who won the auction never did so and is now kind of hassling me about the shipping charges (~$40 for a dress). I told her that I will look into cheaper options, but the only one I am certain of (the Flat Rate Padded Envelope) is not available at my post office.
The girl is basically trying to convince me to order the envelopes and just wait, but I don't like waiting that long for both payment and shipment. What do I do?
This is why I hate shipping internationally.

[Anonymous No.7371783]

>>7371771

I suggest you contact a mod on lacebook.
Personally, I wouldn't send internationally if it wasn't trackable and insured.

I want to bid on on an item on Mbok, but not sure who I should go with. I've used Chibitenshi for AP releases before and she is lovely, it's just that she charges everything in USD so converting things from Yen to USD then to AUD costs me a lot more than if it was a direct conversion on Yen to AUD.
Who would be best - reliable and cost wise to go with, Chibi, Tokyo Pirates or From-Japan?

[Anonymous No.7371815]

>>7371771
Seconded, contact a mod. If you clearly listed that it didn't include shipping and she's making unfair and unsafe demands in regards to that you don't want to trade with her. It's likely there'll be other problems down the line with that attitude. I put an estimate down of approx how much and clearly stated I would not ship without tracking and insurance.

Another thing about LM since this is the general. I had a buy contact me on fb about it but I told her specifically I would go by the LM auction. She made me an offer for included shipping that would be lower than my starting bid, and was very butthurt when someone paid the full significantly higher BIN. Even if you said it's a dream dress, you obviously don't want it bad enough to pony up for it. The second buyer was completely sweet and a dream to deal with, and I'm sure she'll take much better care of the dress. Plus a lot of buyer horror stories start with them being sketchy and or niggardly, so it's better to be more cautious and take notice of the warning signs.

By explosion, I mean that a lot of things were sold (totes, accessories, parkas, jsks) and they were all sold for incredibly high prices.

[Anonymous No.7374196]

Same problem!
I agree with the "long but too casual" poof issue but I assume because its so long you kind of don't want to take up even more space. Also I noticed the long JSK I got from IW wouldn't hold a long version of a AP or BTSSB style poof anyway (like if you pull up the skirt in a curtsy you'll notice it doesn't pull up as far as a short dress). So I guess a long IW was never made to be a bell, although it was initially my goal with buying a IW long dress to finally accommodate my height. Poo.

I know that Classical puppets and Bunny House do custom petticoats though? That's what I'm planning to do.

[Anonymous No.7375259]

>>7375248
I think that's pretty stupid, why would that even be a thing? Does that mean anything without a print isn't real brand? What does that person think is actually brand.

[Anonymous No.7375272]

>>7375248
Of course it's real brand. Is it speshul snowflake limited Japan release only brand? No. But it isn't Bodyline tier either. Unless it's a Bodyline LP. Then it's plaid.
Seriously, in the past, lucky bags did include slow sellers and less popular things or 'oddments' that weren't first release, most popular things. Resale value is also usually lower. But lately there have been darn cute things too. Is it from a brand? Yes? Then it's real brand.

considering that AP literally designs specific prints for LPs, yes they are real brand items.

what kind of idiot doesn't realize that? It's the same exact design and manufacture process with some cheaper options (no built in petti, plain blouses) tossed in to drop cost, but that's the only difference. Same designers, same factories, same fabrics. How can someone think it's not real brand.

no one was complaining about her weight. everyone gave her advice on coordinating better. however, she thought that it would devolved to losing weight and buying burando. there wasn't one post about losing weight and being an ita until she starting spergin everywhere.

I've been debating buying a binder for lolita. Does anyone wear one and have pictures so I can see how it looks? I have a 6 inch difference between full bust and underbust and I know it isn't huge, but it's something i've always been a little self conscious of when it comes to bodice fits. I normally wear a sports bra, but I'd like something that compresses even more and is more comfortable on my shoulders.

I have a binder that I use occasionally. The only problem I have with it is that it smooshes my boobs so much that there's little to no definition at all and it looks weird. I mean that's what they're supposed to do though so I guess it does it's job? Going up a size might help with this but I haven't tried that yet.

[Anonymous No.7376379]

>>7376369
What's the difference between your full bust and underbust? And would you mind posting a picture? Like even just cropped to show only the bodice? And how comfy is it for longer than three hours?

Is there anyway to get un-banned from Innocent World's site? I was a complete fucking idiot last year when I went on a buying spree and lost track of who I paid. Turns out I never paid my order for Innocent World and I got an email a week later saying that I was banned for not paying. Anyone know of a way to solve this? I've rather not have to spend the money on an SS...

Yeah, that chart is wrong. It says that a Euro 39 is the equivalent of an Australian size 6, when it should be an 8. I think they thought that we use the same system as the UK in which it would be a 6. Pretty sure the US one should be an 8 too and not a 7, but US sizing seems to be a lot more inconsistent than the above systems. The men's sizing here seems to be janked up also.

Why have I never seen a 100% correct shoe converter chart? Maybe I ought to make one.

a lot
no one cares (since you shouldn't be able to tell if they're underage), but once you start spouting about how you're under 18 then you deserve a ban. If you're going to be stupid enough to break the rules so blatantly, then I don't feel bad reporting your posts.

I can even understand why, /cgl/ is the most active of all lolita communities, if you discount tumblr. Egl is hardly alive anymore.

I have a 98 cm bust and an 89 cm underbust. I just moved and my binder is still packed away somewhere but if I find it I'll take some pics your you anon. As for comfyness, that depends on the type of binder and how tight you make it. Mine has a hook and eye style enclosure like a bra and is very comfy! It's like wearing a tight sports bra, but doesn't put as much weight on your shoulders.

Question for those who have used Fromjapan many times:

I'm at the shipping point now, and it seems from their chart like the only option which provides any sort of tracking is EMS? But that can't be right, as I've gotten tracking before when shipping by Air and I think even SAL, from Japan. And I don't want to use Fedex, they hit with customs in the USA.

There's also no tool to estimate shipping on the site.

Can anyone give me an idea of which would be the cheapest option with some kind of tracking, even if it's just 'it left the country/it entered the country/it was delivered'?

[Anonymous No.7377033]

>>7376983
They have a shipping fee calculator on the right side of the home page, you may have to scroll down a bit. That said, I always have them pack up my items first before I pick a shipping method (choose "unspecified" from their list). You can get tracking on SAL and air as an add-on for a few extra bucks, I think, but I almost always go EMS as it's usually not that much more and is a lot faster.

[Anonymous No.7377039]

>>7376770
Ask for two invoices -- you send one to her, she sends one to you. That way each package is tracked. The other person may be annoyed, but this is to protect both of you in case either package gets lost by the shipping company for any reason.

What exactly does "There is a limitation in the overall evaluation (person with minus can not be the sum of the bid evaluation)"/ "総合評価での制限 あり (評価の合計がマイナスの方は入札できません" mean?
Does it mean you can't bid if your feedback score is a negative?

[Anonymous No.7377046]

>>7377040
Pretty sure it does, yes.

>>7377033
Oh wow, I totally missed that. Ok, I'll see if I can grab tracking for those when they send me the charge, thanks!

I bought mine from here. The one in the link is the same as the one I have only mine doesn't have the seams around the neck and arm holes. Hook and eye or velco are better as they allow for a wider range of fits as opposed to zippered or pull-over styles. You also may want to order down a size depending on the type of compression you want. I have a 98 cm bust and I got a large and it barely compressed at all so I probably should have bought a medium.

are you the same anon as above talking about their binder? Because I thought they said it compressed them so much it removed all breast definition. if not, mb

I'm really torn on which version to get. I'm leaning on all black or white but I kind of like all of them and can only get one.

I have had so much trouble with my first sale on lacemarket that I don't think I'll use it again.
I don't want people "buying" my item when they haven't read my terms, argue about shipping, and make me wait for a payment even though I clearly stated everything needed to be done within 24 hours.

You shouldn't avoid your problems like that and cause yourself trouble. It's not as though such a problem is lacemarket exclusive. It's very likely you'll encounter such problems on other sale sites, such as egl comm sales or Facebook sales. The best thing you can do is report them and discourage such behaviour.

[Anonymous No.7379425]

how do I end a listing on Lacemarket? The item just sold in other site and I dont want more people bidding.

[Anonymous No.7379843]

>>7379425
If someone has already bidded on the item on lacemarket, you can't end the listing. This is why you can't really cross list. You need to direct everyone to the LM listing.

[Alice No.7381168]

>>7379425
>>7379843

Yes, once a listing has been bidded on in Lace Market, sellers cannot delete their listings. In circumstances where you've already sold the item, you have two things you can do:

1.) Report the listing to a LM mod, who will end the listing early for you. However, you may receive bad feedback from the high bidder, and LM really discourages overuse of this kind of behavior.

2.) You can ask the person who bought it off-site to buy it through Lace Market. She can either place a bid, or use Buy it Now. This is the preferred method of handling the situation.
