Coord help thread

[Anonymous No.7685613]

There wasn't any in the catalog and a few anons have been posting in the general so I thought I would create a thread.

I'm currently working on a blue Theresia Rose coord but was wondering if I could get some suggestions.

>was wondering if I could get some suggestions

Throw us a bone anon, what kinda direction do you want to take it in? What sort of occasion are you looking to wear it to? A bit more detail is always really useful with these kinda threads.

i'm looking for some navy shoes to wear with aatp tome of the roses jsk II and wondered about these shoes http://www.soleprovisions.com/Taos_Contessa_Navy.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwopOeBRC1ndXgnuvx8JYBEiQAq4RPt3xxWxRh6hnXhxyAgUbYxKz9Mr7PeCa2G0wOYCMDlSAaAuie8P8HAQ

are they too matronly/secretary-ish? Would the navy even work? Other options for navy classical styled shoes that go up to 25cm?

i just noticed they only have those in size of 11 anyway, so nevermind. Also, time* of the roses

Hmm I'd like to make it not too casual and not too OTT. I'd like to incorporate the rose motif in headwear and perhaps blue shoes/

Something like this perhaps? It's kinda difficult to assess the shade of the ivory/cream as well as the blue because of the lighting in your pic, but hopefully you get the idea. Owning the jsk, you probably have a better idea if these shades would actually work.

Sauce on the blue shoes?

[Anonymous No.7687273]

I have this JSK (Haenuli Enchanted Fawn) and Bodyline blouse to work with. I'd like to keep it simple and casual, but I have no idea what sort of accessories to pull in with these colours.

I have a rich brown PUL offbrand (Ardene) bag and a pair of earthy beige/camel faux suede pumps that I don't have a picture of yet, but I'm willing to look at better options.

I have a large foot size, so shopping for new shoes is very difficult. I could go to Clobba or Dear Lenore.

[Anonymous No.7687288]

The main thing I need help with is knowing if this looks completely terrible or not...? It doesn't have to be a "wow!" coord, just not bad. (It's for the BtssB Store Opening Soiree, and this is the only dress and blouse I can work with while keeping it mostly Baby for the heat so I'm kind of freaking out.) My hair will be done with braids but a little fluffier and with less obtrusive hair ties.

[Anonymous No.7687341]

Are those shoes black or brown?

[Anonymous No.7687364]

>>7687341
Brown, sorry there was a wonky shadow. They're pretty much the same colour as my bag.

[Anonymous No.7687408]

>>7687288
The bag looks out of place with the brown and the food theme, do you have anything in black? The rest of it looks cute and airy, it'd look more balanced if you added some more blue up top.

>>7687273
I think that the dress and blouse match closely enough that you should go for more contrast on the shoes and bag, like a dark rather than medium brown (or dark red, if that fits the rest of your wardrobe better: I think it would make the berries in the print pop).

[Anonymous No.7687446]

>>7687408
Yeah! I have a pair of black shoes and a black baby purse. It's the heart purse that came with the mook a while back. The only thing is I'd have to find a wallet that's small enough to fit my wallet-stuff (ID, cash, debit card, points cards for other shops, etc.) and still fit in my purse. (The one I used to use fits but... It's really weeby, it's a Haruhi Suzumiya wallet I got when I was 10 and I really should not have anymore.)
I will try my best though! Thank you for the tips. But if I can't find anything do you think the brown shoes and bag would look horrendous? They're the same colour, but you're right the food theme is a bit off...
(Also thank you! I was hoping for an airy look.)

Since the lolita general has turned into Linguistics 101 and I know this topic has been mentioned in previous coord threads I'll ask here.

If there was another fb group that did constructive coord crit, similar to the nitpick threads or as a compliment sandwich, what do you think a poster should mention.
I'd like:
-Budget (bodyline, taobao, brand)
-Style their going for (classic, gothic, sweet, babby's first outfit, OTT etc)
-Area that they'd like the most tips on
-Weather?

The plain blue shoes are 'Dance Instead of Walking' heels in 'blue' found on Modcloth.

The tan shoes are by Chelsea Crew Shoes. They actually have a lot of really nice vintage type reproduction shoes that could work with lolita. I'm afraid can't find the link to those exact ones anymore but they are probably still about.

Good luck with your co-ord anon, it's a beautiful jsk.

Holy shit that landwhale on the right. Man the harpoons!

[Anonymous No.7688550]

>>7687455
I think this shade would work since it's more of an earthy kinda red.

In all honesty, I'm not really digging the dark brown in your pic, I think tan would look so much better for your shoes and bag - case in point, look how nicely the 'tan' shade of the biscuit on your bag pops with the soft blue of your jsk. It's pretty much opposite on the color wheel to the blue.

I know, you're in awe of my mad paint skills. It's ok to keep the praise to yourselves though.

[Anonymous No.7688704]

>>7687541
Thank you!

>>7688550
Mana on a sandwich, those paint skills must have been bestowed upon you by the Lord himself.
But, getting down to business. I have some low-heel oxfords that are pretty much that colour, and I think Target has a bag in that colour right now! If not I have a small change coin purse in the colour that I can use to carry my wallet and phone. (I just remembered a friend is coming with me, too, and since I'm lending her a dress I think it won't be too much to ask her to hold some of my stuff in her bag. So bag size is no longer an issue.) Thank you so much I didn't even think of using them!
Also I'm a bit confused about the hair option, did you mean colour, style, or both? Since it's going to be warm I planned on using my real hair, and I don't really have time to get a wig... Also it's kind of dumb, but the girl in the print of the dress has her hair in braids which is sort of the reason I wanted to.

[Anonymous No.7688823]

>>7688704
The lord doth bless me indeed, for I art supesharu.

The hair idea was just for the style not color, i think a simple elegant updo with a bit of detail at the side (opposite side to your headwear) would be really lovely with this. I wouldn't recommend a wig in hot weather either, screw that noise.

The braids are ok, they just look a bit flat and lank looking. I think this could be improved though by using some slightly nicer hair ties in either white/off white or the same color as your hair. You could then try making the braids a bit looser looking but still neat.

A one-sided plait (again, opposite side to your headdress) could be really cute too. I get the copying the print thing though, it's a cute idea - more subtly nerdy than dumb I reckon(!).

[Anonymous No.7689404]

>>7688823
Ohhh yeah that was part of my original plan
>My hair will be done with braids but a little fluffier and with less obtrusive hair ties.

I'll mess around a little before then, though, see what looks good with the headdress. Also, once again thank you for your help!

[Anonymous No.7690562]

extremely new to lolita here, i impulse-bought this skirt a while back when i realised i've never worn anything as poofy and tiered in my life (good decision, me!)

does anyone know what style or jackets this could suit?

[Anonymous No.7690757]

>>7690562
Ok, standard lolita rules apply with this one

Aim for an hour glass shape with a defined waist area, not a traffic cone.
So look for jackets/coats/boleros that taper at the waist (or for boleros- hit just above the waist line) and have small detailing on them such as lace trim or decorative bows. If you can't find one with the trimming that you like, adding a nice brooch helps to give a more polished look.

See picture related

You can certainly wear the other jacket shapes however since you're worried about making the right impression with your outfit, stick with the safer hourglass shape.

[Anonymous No.7690784]

1. Do these pink match enough to wear together,
2. Not sure where to go from here. I know I want my head accessory to be chiffony/similar to the dress, but beyond that?
I was thinking delicate, pink or white wristcuffs with maybe a gold or silver accent jewel, and I've no idea what to do when it comes to legwear. Ankle socks seem to be pretty popular with this dress, but I don't quite like the look of bare legs. Plain white otks/striped otks? The general direction is sweet, and my theme is generally pink/white. What do you think?

[Anonymous No.7690808]

>>7690784
1-From the stock photos, yes the pinks match
2-Legwear- Ankle socks if you can pull them off, Striped otks would also look cute. If you want tights you could look at sheer white tights with prints on them. Ebay and sockdreams have some nice ones. You could even find pink/white rose tights.

3- Accessories- Chiffon headpiece and wrist cuffs would look cute. You could look out for a beret and attach a chiffon bow to it, even a white sailor cap and add some pink ribbon to match it.

Check out the sailor lolita thread >>7683069, I know all that shit is in blue but use your imagination and visualize it in pink to get some more styling ideas ideas

[Anonymous No.7690816]

>>7690784
Since your dress is already all pink, having a pink crossbody bag will pretty much have it blend in with your dress. I would probably go with a white bag, maybe with pink or even gold accents? For head accessories, since it's a sailor dress you could go with a boater hat and make your own ribbon/bow to make it match. Or you can just go with your original idea, something like pic related. Legwear II would go with whatever looks best on you. Tights are an option too. They should have a pattern though since your dress is plainer.

[Anonymous No.7690886]

>>7690816
>>7690808
Thank you both! I really like the tights idea, so I'll probably go with that.
I was hoping the white bit on the bag would distinguish it from the dress, but I suppose you're right. I really love the headbow you attatched!

That bag seriously doesnt look like it'll match, but I'll take your word for it.
Seems like a pretty boring coord. The fluffy bow doesnt match imo, and the silver sparkly necklace looks a bit cheap. I suggest the white socks if you MUST wear ankle socks.

[Anonymous No.7692164]

>>7692130
depends on your skill level.
You could do a round headpiece with a smaller bow inside of it, or if you're tight on time, find a hat

[Anonymous No.7692174]

-Lose the fluffy bow, unless you've got fluffy bows elsewhere.
-Either of the socks look fine
-I'd keep the neck area simple as it's already busy with the shirring and bodice bows, do you have any other necklaces? You've posted the clear heart w/ stars, so if thats the other necklace choice I'd go with that

[Anonymous No.7692976]

>>7692881
Ok, I'll give you some help since these threads are like crack for me.

I found a heap of worn pictures of AP salopette, most of the outer wear that looks good, ends around the 'drop' waist line area (no shit Sherlock).
The problem being that when you have your standard bolero or lolita brand cardigan they make them to hit just above your natural waistline so it give a smoother hour glass shape.See the green box for example. This would be fine for a normal JSK, but not salopette.

My recommendation would be to go with a jacket that hits just above your hips or a bolero that finishes just under your bust area. See the yellow boxes for the example.

[Anonymous No.7692979]

No, it's hard to find plain white brand skirt.

So, for your skirt I would personally go with something tiered or ruffly as you've got a lot of volume and detailing in the blouse and vest.

If you've got the time there are some nice skirts that you could have custom made in white on Fanplusfriend.

if you don't have time, this one picture comes in white and can be shipped straight away

>>7692914
I think the girl in the largest image has definitely got the right idea and it looks great - it's not a boring co-ord at all. The reason it works so well in my opinion is because she's used a cropped waistcoat that doesn't obscure that nice gold button detail. I would recommend looking for a cropped waistcoat as well, to do this skirt the most justice.

Brown cropped waistcoats aren't that easy to come by so if you're still struggling you could always try looking for something in white or cream in cotton that you could dye the appropriate shade of brown, and then replace the buttons if necessary. Replacing buttons in general is a pretty straightforward procedure.

Posted this in the general thread before this was here but I'd love some more advice. Working on my first coord with MM Perfume Bottle JSK in mint. The MM rosette would be perfect but if I can't find it I might put something similar together using taobao pieces.

Where I'm struggling the most is finding a blouse - because of the yoke on the dress I was hoping for a fairly plain peter pan collar blouse in a creamy colour but I'm struggling to find one that's plain enough.

I can't really help because I haven't seen perfume bottle IRL to tell if the colours match. I would prefer the design of the dear celine blouse but maybe without the gigantic bow (it's detachable, so if you buy it just see what works better for you?)

my only gripe is with the socks, i feel that they look a bit too...cosplayish...i duno, they would work so great with an old school outfit but i wouldn't for perfume bottle. i'm not helpful don't even have a better suggestion sorry.

I like the dear celine blouse better, but I would want to see them both in similar photo quality before I completely wrote off the chess story blouse.
The chess story one looks a little too beige. But it also depends on what the dress looks like IRL. The dear celine one might be too white, if it isn't as ivory as it looks.
What do you plan to do with your hair?
I normally really don't like solid colored tights, but in this case, I do. I like the sheerness, and considering there is so little blue elsewhere, it won't be overwhelming.
I think something you might want to consider is if you want to go with the light blue of the middle stripe or the green-blue of the bodice bows. Your tights are the light blue and your roses are the green-blue. You could do both, but I'm not sure how best to make it look deliberate.
The dress kind of reminds me of ballerinas. I think shoes with ribbons on them or lace up your calf would look cute.

>>7694140
Would it be too obnoxious to ask for an overview of your wardrobe? Since if you wanted to buy the whole coord from scratch, it wouldn't matter if you had blue. But if you want to incorporate what you have, knowing what you're working with could really spark some imagination.

Not my picture, my camera is absolutely awful, but this is the dress I need help with. Every time I try making a coord /cgl/ tell me it looks boring. I need some help!

[Anonymous No.7694298]

Hello, anons.

So, I have pic related. I wanted to keep my coord simple, so what I have currently planned are black tights and black oxfords.

The issue I have is headwear. I'm not sure what I should wear with this.

I looked at examples of lolita coords with religious/nun inspired themes, but most of them had veils, flower crowns, and some hats. I wasn't really feeling any of them.

Do you think this dress would look appropriate with just a regular black headbow? I see anons saying not to mix motifs and stuff, just didn't know if a headbow was too sweet or wouldn't look right.

I'm still new to lolita, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bows are very neutral and will work with almost anything.
There are "sweet" bows though, such as those huge ones that sit right at the top and eats your head. Stick with a more subtle one, but I'm sure you're thinking of something like that alerady.

[Anonymous No.7694329]

>>7694316
That's good! I have the headbow that came with this aatp set. This wouldn't be considered too sweet, correct? It doesn't seem too big/floppy, so I'm guessing it works.

I'm going for an ivory or cream blouse, and I'd even do gold if I could find it. I want bell sleeves, but I'm having a hell of a time finding a blouse. But yeah, I'm trying to find pictures of the DC blouse worn to tell what color it actually is.
As for hair... I usually just wear long curls because they go well with most everything imo. But I'm up for suggestions.
Yeah, the different shades of mint have been an issue but I figured it would be alright? Since they're both on the bodice? But yeah thanks for the input.

Alright so I know that buying Bodyline is considered sacrilege to many lolitas but I'm hoping this can be looked beyond and I can get some help. I'm just starting a coord and I included the blouse that I bought as well as two skirts that I've had my eye on. Do you think these work together? If not any suggestions? The shirt is L474 from Bodyline and the skirts are Lady In Darkness and Cathedral Gothic from Surface Spell. If you have any other suggestions I'm trying to stay away from anything too expensive (trying not to stray too far over 100). Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

[Anonymous No.7697544]

I've been trying to work a coord around this dress for a while and I feel like this is close to what I want to do with it. The only items I actually own so far are the blouse and the JSK itself.

I want to do a sort of marching band theme, hence the jacket/gloves/boots, and I'm hoping that the grey tights balance the colors enough--I feel that cream would be too light and black would be too overwhelming with both the jacket and the boots.

Beret is obviously the wrong color, I need a black one but the picture represents the kind of style I want, also the headgear that best fits the marching band theme as berets are staple to some actual uniforms. The wig the beret is being modeled on is also the color/style I want to go with this coord.

Please give me any feedback you can, again I only own the blouse and the dress so far so the coord is very up to modification and suggestion.

[Anonymous No.7697551]

>>7697536
I am not very good at coording if I don't have a set of actual items to pick from. However just a general idea. I would really bring out the black/pink of the skirt and for accessories stick with the cookie/macron theme. Maybe some Black/Pink OTK's with a macron print (Not sure if those exist, my google fu was failing me there)

If you're already shopping from Surface Spell, it maybe be cheaper to taobao a blouse than bodyline (or cheaper to bodyline your skirt and blouse) because you're essentially paying for shipping twice from two different shops. only mentioning because your budget seems so tight. actually is 100 for just the blouse+skirt or for the entire co-ord? do you already have shoes and accessories in mind?

the 3 pieces you have picked are fine. where did you even hear or read that bodyline is sacrilege to lolitas? i'm very interested in knowing this.

[Anonymous No.7700387]

>>7699366
The 100 is my budget for the skirt alone. I do not have shoes or accessories in mind, so any help with that as well would be appreciated. I was also looking for an opinion on which skirt to go with that would match the blouse best.
Also I posted on another coord help board with this exact question and got yelled at for buying bodyline because it was trash garbage or something similar to that.

Ignore the stupid people and take crit with a grain of salt, especially on 4chan. I do agree that you should stick to taobao if you are already buying from there. But the blouse is fine.

>>7696431 I like the lower skirt better, but it is a lot of purple so if you are starting out it may be harder to cord with. Purple isnt common so you will likely pair it with black mostly anyways.

Okay, so I have a AP LBC salopette. Even though I'm pretty short (155 cm) it's still reealllyyy short on me, a little too short for me to use in any lolita coord.

I still really like this piece and I got a really good deal on it, so I don't really wanna give it up.

[Anonymous No.7700942]

>>7700387
you mean you posted the same outfit to somewhere outside of /cgl/ right? where did you post? i want to see where the anti-bodyline-chans are all coming from.

I would pick cathedral over the purple motif. The floral skirt is also pretty, but here are some issues you may -or may not face. If you have a muffin top, the high waist may be unflattering. The motif fabric is used for the entire skirt, so if you don't have the right figure, you might end up looking a bit shapeless.

The bodyline blouse you chose is perfectly fine (I have the same one in another colour) However the swallowtail back is completely covered up if you wear a high-waist skirt.

Some accessories that may get your thought-train going. Not sure if the purples match IRL though.

[Anonymous No.7700943]

>>7700794
A plain blouse is a real snooze, anon. Try adding a bolero or some interesting jewelry. Also make sure the blouse you pick is offwhite to match the bag and tights, those both look pretty white but it could be my monitor. I love the R-series shoes and beret, great choices. Though personally I would go with a slightly darker wig since this is already a very light coord, it needs balance.
Another thing, is the skirt warm pink irl? It looks like it might contrast with the shoes and beret, make sure everything matches.

Does anyone know how much burando tights will stretch, on average? I'm not even close to being a landwhale, but I do have a fairly large rear, and regular off brand tights tend to slip down after a while.

I just got my IW order from the sales in - a matching sailor blouse and pants set. As cute as the set is, I have never coorded anything with pants before. Also, the accent color is way more tan/beige than they are in the stock picture - even my camera makes it way too light, so I included a swatch of what I think the color looks like in the corner. Would white or offwhite socks still be okay? I am planning on wearing black oxfords like Model-san.

Second, what kind of head accessories would work with this? I am planning a boyish outfit with a bob wig, so should I get some sort of hat? I was also thinking a more girly coord with more bows - would a simple headbow work?

Any and all suggestions are welcome. I really don't know what I am doing buying pants!

You could do with some rings on your fingers.
If you want to add pearl jewelry, you will need to add a little pearl everywhere - some on your hat/hair, some on your hands, some on your blouse/dress etc. but not too much also.
your petti works just fine
Topping your shoes with lace is a good idea, I agree, otherwise, if you have the same shoes in the same colour as the white/beige on your dress it would be even better

>>7705819
Left to right.
1. Your shoes aren't absolute shit, but I don't like them very much either. There's just nothing particularly lolita about them.
2. Same thing about the shoes for number 1. Are you able to remove the bow from the shirt collar? I feel that a black bow would be better.
3. Cute so far. Since you decided to go the fawn fur route, you could top your shoes with fawn fur too. Not sure how the fawn collar will look with the high-collar of the blouse though.

Also what do you intend to do for your legs? Haven't you any socks or tights in mind?

[Voldie !YXLuNAGINI No.7705873]

>>7705855
Okay I'm thinking some shoes in teal for the cadre du chat coord to match the bow on the cat, and maybe throw in teal accents (like a teal bow on the collar for instance). And the fawn collar in the delft lotta coord is actually just two boot covers tied together, my fawn collar is on the way, so that works! I'm not entirely sure what to do for tights/socks with the middle coord, but I've ordered white lace tights for coord 1 and want to buy matching delft lotta OTKs for coord 3. Otherwise I'd just use my white lace tights for coord 3 to match the blouse and tie the white into the coord better.

I've also got the rose lace pochette in white on the way so I'll wear that with coord 3.

[Anonymous No.7705875]

>>7705819
The pink looks really out of place in the third coordinate and none of the shades match. The accessories in all 3 look really cheap. You should invest in good basic items such as blouses and headpieces instead of just buying dresses.

[Voldie !YXLuNAGINI No.7705881]

>>7705875
Yeah, I learned the hard way not to buy all main pieces (I've had 4 main pieces just sitting in my room staring at me for months) and have been slowly purchasing blouses and bags. Now I'm gonna focus on headpieces and OTKs, and then I'll work on shoes. And point taken about the pinks, I figured they were close enough but I guess not.

[Anonymous No.7705911]

>>7705806
They both work! You can stick more flowers onto the hat or incorporate them into your jewelry or go with more pearls for accessories. You can do both at the same time for a fancier look.

[Anonymous No.7705990]

>>7702859

You kind of have an issue with matching colours, first off, I'm pretty sure the tulle on the dress is white, while both the bonnet and hat look to be offwhite? Could be a lighting issue, but I'd doublecheck before making a purchase.

Second, the light blue on the hat doesn't seem to match the dress. I can see light blue in the roses, but they seem to be a cooler blue while the hat seems to be more towards cyan or mintier blue.

If you can make sure that the bonnet is actually white, you could take the waist ribbon into a craft store and use that to either find matching blue roses, or find fabric spray paint in a matching blue and spray paint some white roses the right shade of blue.

How I like to handle JSKs that already have a collar is to wear blouses with square or scoop necks. Basically, aim at adding sleeves to the dress. I'm pretty sure they had an add with this JSK with a dark chiffon scoop blouse. If I'm wrong, it would look good.

I have those shoes in the middle and I don't think they are too childish. Especially not compared to normal lolita shoes! I think the ones on the left are too normal fashion, but the ones on the right look good
I would ditch the solid mint tights, I don't think they will look good at all. Get some patterned tights or socks with mint or gold accents. Its not a bias against solid tights I just don't think these will work. Ankle socks would work better than these but I think patterened tights or socks are best.

If you want it to be more sweet, then go with OTKs or ankle socks with the pink tea parties. The pink purse should work, although a white purse would help add some contrast. I think adding wristcuffs would help sweeten the look too.

You can go with a more toned-down look with the tights, the classy shoes, maybe a handbag instead of the heart purse, and some simple jewelry (gold looks really good with pink!).

Bows are very versatile so you can definitely do a lot of different things! You can do twin tails and clip in bows at the hairband for sweet. If you have a lot of bows you can go with a crazier hairstyle and just clip them all over.

For toned down I like to just grab some hair from either side, pin them back, and add a bow where they meet. A hat would look good too, and it would be cute if you could clip the bows onto it.

Those are darling. Since this is an image board and sometimes it doesn't like links (spamming protection purposes), would it be ok if you posted images in the future (or use tinylink at the least)?

I think that the first shoe appears more visually striking, however, I can't help thinking that the blue shoes are a tad brighter than the jsk's navy colorway. I don't have much time at the moment, but you should try putting the images along with the jsk and see for yourself.

I think that having a pair of chocolate brown shoes and red or burgundy, black, and even gold shoes would also be wonderful to wear with this, along with off-white legwear (as in any style, have a variety of styles - ankle length socks for a sweeter touch, plain and patterned tights and otks). I can try to post links later, but I'm sure that they're easier to find.

Blouses shouldn't be a huge problem. You can still sweeten it up with a large peterpan collar blouse or if you do want to invest in more classic pieces, I'm sure any high neckline blouses or cutsews would be fine. Cardigans and boleros would be nice too. As someone who does own a similar IW jsk, I think that the only issue may be figuring out how to make blouses look right with it since their dresses tend to have stupidly made bodices.

Are you on some kind of budget?

Anyway, don't try to overwhelm this jsk with more navy. Like in the suggestions with shoe colors, treat it as a base color like you would with your sweeter dresses/skirts.

Just got my paws on the Radiant Candlelight halter JSK in wine (attached isn't my photo), and I'm wondering how I should go about accessorizing. I already have a long-sleeved cream/offwhite blouse that works well with the halter portion, as well as the matching OTKs, but my biggest concern for now is the headwear, from wig to accessory. I've worn almost exclusively sweet up until now, so I'm not quite confident enough to dive into any one avenue quite yet. Thankfully I've got a few months before the weather/season will be appropriate, but I'd like to get a head start.

I'd appreciate some help. I somewhat copied lostnatsu's coord (picture on the right) because I love it and I'm a lone lolita anyway so no one will think I'm lame. And also because I normally wear gothic and have no idea what I'm doing.
I'll figure something out for the shoes, but I have no idea what kind of accessories I should get. I don't think I'll be wearing a blouse because I got this JSK especially for super casual wear. Also, is the hat ok?

[Anonymous No.7713556]

>>7713304
I think it would be really cute if this dress had matching arm puff sleeve things like pic related. You could also play up the swan element in the dress with a feather headpiece. Part of me also wants to see a ballet bun with a tiara for this dress to echo the ballerina in the print.

[Anonymous No.7713557]

>>7713513
The hat looks country, so doesn't really fit the theme. I'd go with a black bowler or felt boater. The bag also looks a bit disjointed, lostnatsu's is a different shape and has more detailing which fits with the sweet aesthetic. The tights look a little odd to me, I'd stick with the ankle socks (especially since this seems to be a very warm weather coord). If you're wearing it casually, though, you don't need to follow lolita guidelines. I'd honestly just wear a sheer puff sleeved blouse or a short sleeved black bolero. For accessories, you want something on your wrists. A bracelet would work nicely, wristcuffs seem a little frilly for this dress. Wear a few rings with related themes, sticking to all gold or all silver. Keep in mind I usually wear gothic-y classic, so this is probably more toned down than a sweet lolita would come up with.

[Anonymous No.7713589]

>>7713557
Thanks, this is really helpful. I'll drop the hat. Not sure about the replacement yet, because I just thought of the fact that it would probably be uncomfortable to wear a hat with warm weather. Would pic related be a decent bag? The zippers are a bit awkward but I can easily replace them with simple, gold ones.
I feel like a noob all over again.

[Anonymous No.7713984]

>>7713589
That bag looks cute, I like how the circle shape echoes the moon shape in the print. To be honest, I like hats in warmer weather, they can keep the sun off your neck. A felt boater with a bow on it would be cute. However, I think a headbow would be a great option with this as well. I'd avoid things like hair flowers because they don't really fit the feel of the print. On the other end of the spectrum, you could go for a sailor theme working with the collar. In that case, the hat would be fine. A puff sleeve blouse, a striped ribbon on the hat, mary janes, short gloves, and sailor-y motifs in with the star ones (anchors, etc) would be really cute. Either way, I like the bag.

Recently got this dress, excuse the messy pigtails bc couldn't be bothered to curl and style properly for a try-on photo.

I think I might need to make or commission one of those gypsy blouses with a shirred neckline, so it can be pulled down and hidden behind the dress, leaving only the puff sleeves outside, or if that looks weird then I'll pull it up as a scoop neckline. (the black blouse in the pic is an Atelier Pierrot blouse, but it doesn't come in pink). Good combination of both suggestions?

Here's the rest of what I've put together.

>>7714165
I realize I wasn't really being helpful. To be honest I only wear sweet-classic (and it seems like you might be going for that, but the sweetness of the dress just won't really work with classic elements) and I don't know much about co-ording sweet. I do like that blouse a lot better.

I would go with simple tea parties rather than ballet flats. If you could find sax to match the sax in the dress that could be cute, or stick with pink if that matches more of your wardrobe. White would be cute too, depending on your legwear. Look at more sweet model photos for hair ideas if you don't want to wear a wig. As for headwear, I hate to suggest a bow, but they really do go best with sweet. That or something matching the theme of the dress.

My suggestions for improvements:
Wear sheer tights with a subtle pattern.
Use a sheer blouse instead of the gypsy idea.
Wear RHS instead of the Melissa ballet flats.

Use an elegant updo (use fannyrosie for inspiration) instead of the braid thing.

I had pic related in mind, but it seemed like too much white. Would it work if I added pink bow or rose clips to tie it back to the dress? At worst I could commission someone for it in pink, I suppose.

For legwear I had in mind a particular pair of sheer tights that had tiny bows on them, I saw them in white on taobao (I got the cream), but I can't seem to find the white ones again. If I can't find them I'll probably go with patterned white semi sheer tights.

>>7714176

Seems like the shoes get a lot of hate. In person the plastic looks much nicer and the ribbons can actually be swapped out, which is good, because I'll agree that they look cheap and were the main reason I didn't buy them when I saw them.

I think I'll switch to pink rocking horse shoes with long straps instead, though, and save the flats for non lolita coords.

>>7714187
I just looked them up, and yeah, they're cute, but they don't quite match since the dress is more pink x sax than mint.

>>7714194

That's been a problem for me. I saw that, but I also saw someone in the nitpick thread who had her hair done up so close to her head, her head looked too small to balance out the lolita silhoutte. I initially picked the crown braid as I figured I could puff out the braid with fake braids so it doesn't stick too closely to my head. I also tried to stick to headbands so that, if my updo did look too small for the dress, I'll give up doing an updo and just go for thick curls to balance out the dress.

Pic is the other headdress I had my eye on, but I definitely don't like the colour and materials -- I'd just use the way it's constructed as a blueprint, but go with mini pearl tiara and pink and white feathers instead.

Some thoughts for super OTT:

- The blouses are fine -- but you asked for OTT, and right now they're the plainest things in the coord. Try to pick out something fancier, maybe gold trim (as per the matching blouses from AP) on the front bows would be good, or a fancy lacy jabot, or more lace on the sleeves, or something.

- The hair is also fine for non OTT, but it could be bigger if you want to go OTT, eg a hime bump, or fluffy twin tails. If you feel up to it you can get some fake hair things (hair buns, hair bows, fake braids, maybe even a dozen clip-in hair in matching navy, etc), add them to your wig to give more interest.

- You can add star clips or strings of pearls to your wig too.

- It's currently lacking bling, such as bracelets, necklace, etc. I'd go for chunky things so it doesn't get lost, but be careful it's not so big that it dwarfs you.

- If you really want to add more drama, sew some navy lace to a bit of tulle or chiffon, then tie it into your waist bow so that it hangs down behind your skirt like a train.

- For bonus points, especially if you're meeting fellow lolitas, do your nails (and maybe your eyelashes) -- get a set of fake nails in a matching design, or do/get someone to do nail art in gold on navy. Eyelashes -- you know how some lolitas put glitter stickers on their face? If you want to try something different and subtler, look for blue or navy-coloured fake eyelashes. Pick the smaller ones, so that it gives your eyes a moving touch of colour rather than overpowers your face.

Make sure your choices are high quality. The line between over-the--top and tacky is pretty fine. Some lolitas already consider the dress alone tacky, though, so I imagine being a little on the tacky side doesn't really bother you.

Looks fairly solid for a casual style, though I do suggest that you focus on your silhouette as well. Invest in a corset or body shaper to smooth out those distracting puckers in the bodice? That's the first thing I noticed, and that usually means that that detail ought to be addressed.
I adore Delft Lotta. Do you have any natural light pictures?

Yeah I'm planning on getting a body shaper before Otakuthon (so that I don't have to size up all my brand while I lose weight). And here anon, I took this for you.

don't feel too bad, i've heard that delft lotta runs waaaay small. the re-release of lotta also runs very small.

Is there any way to coord this that doesn't look awful? The blues match nothing besides sweet items that look stupid with the print, and the rose detail in pink, not red.

[Anonymous No.7718032]

>>7717910
What direction do you want to take with this? Long sleeves or short? Hat or no? Hair colour?

I'm immediately thinking white blouse with sailor collar, boater hat, bright teaparties or maryjane kitten heels, printed white tights. Nautical bag in that pink/red you have there.

Image related, I'd swap the bow for a blue one. It's HMHM (taobao) but the image is from a shady reseller, sorry about the watermark!

I'm posting for my girlfriend, so I'm not sure of the details of what she wants, but I think she wants a more mature look.

[Anonymous No.7718057]

>>7717910
I might get picked apart for this but I think that Navy, or if you have the right complexion (dark), all white, pic related
I know you usually want to match the other pieces with something in the print but with not a lot to work with here, I think Navy might just work. Gold, white or coral/pink details (pick one, keep it simple) used VERY sparingly.

I think you can go more mature with some white tights and heeled shoes (oxfords are my go-to). For the blouse you can find something maybe 3/4 sleeve or full sleeve made of chiffon or some other flowy material. As for hair and accessories you can bring out the roses detail in the skirt with some clip in roses for the hair and maybe a floral bracelet or necklace. If she wants an even more mature look she can use a belt instead of waistties.

You can always bring in some other color too. You can try a dark brown or a black?

Is this outfit any good? I'm planning to wear this for the local Lolita convention, so is there a way to spice it up a bit? I'm planning to add a black-golden bracelet. Also, the jsk and the blouse are the same shade of black IRL.

[Anonymous No.7719112]

Can anyone help me find some bordeaux/wine red heels? I'm having trouble finding a size 11/jp 27.5 pair of shoes. I'd prefer faux-suede or a non-shiny leather, if possible! Loliable boots are cool too.

I don't really like the gloves but I guess they would probably look fine with a hime co-ord as long as they're decent quality. It's a bit plain for hime but it looks nice. What's the collar like? A pretty black and gold filigree brooch or some kinda princess-y necklace would be nice, and maybe a gold charm on the bag, and some kind of shoe clips. Also if you can put together anything to dress up the waist a bit, like a nice simple loli-suitable belt, or a waist bow, or even a chiffon overskirt that's open in the front (they're really easy to make: http://chiiyo-rin.tumblr.com/post/46342139690/hi-i-saw-posts-about-your-twinkle-carnival).).

Add some gold roses here and there
Hair, shoe clips, maybe even as a bag charm or wrist corsage

[Anonymous No.7719242]

>>7719187
Here is how the collar looks. Also I have a Chocomint star clip. Will it work with the coord? If so, should I add some pearls, so it wouldn't look out of place? I love the belt and overskirt ideas, will definitely think about them!

>>7719198
Roses are a great suggestion, will try to find some!

Thank you very much for the advice, kind anons!

[Anonymous No.7719319]

>>7719242
I feel like the stars might be a little out of place, but you could try it all together and see if it looks nice in person. I think some white pearls here and there could be cute, but not sure about stars since they're a little too cutesy while your co-ord is pretty elegant.

I guess a brooch or necklack wouldn't really work, maybe a choker but that might end up being tacky. I think just a few little decorations here and there that were already mention would spice it up enough, it looks pretty cute as is.

Are you sure you're size 11? I'm 26.5 and an 11, sometimes 11s are even too small...

Blouse suggestions? I don't want to go with white since it seems too plain compared to the rather busy print but pink would be a bit too sweet for my taste and I'm afraid that black could be overwhelming.

I'd appreciate suggestions for accessories as well.

[Anonymous No.7719546]

>>7715223
I honestly don't like the bag at all. It looks way too cartoony compared to what you have put together. Looking at the print and the shoes I would stick to relatively realistic looking accessories.
I would also keep the patterned tights if I were you, I don't think the otks would look good with this.

[Anonymous No.7719659]

>>7719496
I would suggest red cardigan with a white blouse. I have the same skirt in pink and I'm using angelic pretty's star rider jacket in red with it.
You could also try something sort of cream or gold for your top.

[Anonymous No.7720112]

>>7719357
I depends on the style and who made it, I suppose. I like to err on the cautious side, but if it's a heel, the maker usually makes allowances and adds extra room, so I could go with a 26.5.

I wanted to hold out for the VM replicas, but I might have to wait months for preorders to open or for a used pair to show up in a 4L eugh.

[Anonymous No.7720165]

I have this bag.
>>7687455

I'm wondering if the shoes I've picked would work, and how I would be able to pick the best matching swatch from the Custom House PU selection? Do I just send them a picture of the bag like Lenore does?

[Anonymous No.7720351]

>>7719546
thank you anon, i was kind of feeling the same way about the bag. Do you think a gold purse along the lines of pic related would look out of place? Should i try to find a dark pink/rose colored purse instead?

Not sure if the star riders jacket would be my style but a red cardigan over a white blouse is a really good idea.
I could look for a white blouse with some gold trim, maybe.

Any ideas for this dress? I'm pretty new to the lolita community so I'd love to be satisfied with my first coord

[Anonymous No.7723527]

>>7721078
Although the dress claims to be navy, I thought it looked very purple. I would hold off on buying up navy accessories until you get the dress itself. You never know how the final product will turn out.

Yeah that's something I'm concerned about. When I asked it was described as "navy but also more purple I think"
