I really like these style of blouse Moitie often does. Is it true they also fit a larger bust (I'm a 93cm bust)?
Their sizing info is generally unhelpful as they don't post max measurements.

Mmmmmmfff dat picture, OP.

I have this infatuation with velvet/velveteen fabric that I simply cannot find the proper words to describe.

I also really enjoy how stark the contrast is between the ideas in the construction of the photo.

A Japanese person dressed in frilly European-style inspired clothing, covered head to toe in dark colors in broad daylight. How the person manages to present the audience with such a casual disposition in the midst of an atmosphere that seems to be her exact opposite.

She just seems so strangely at home.

Thank you for posting that picture, OP. This is going in my favorite images folder and I'm putting it up in my room.

Where does everyone go for their lolita cardigans? I wanted to order this one from Chess Story but it's sold out in my size and I can't go a size down because of my bust.

I've heard things about Floral Notebook and Bunny House, but are their cardigans thick enough for fall/winter?

I know this girl who doesnt seem to be into lolita at all, but every so often shows up decked out in AP at some fashion show.

Funny, I get that feeling about some people I watch at fashion shows at cons. I definitely get that vibe from professional runway models working for lolita brands.

I get that models are subjected to whatever the director and/or make up artist decides on, but I'm sure that most actual lolitas would have suggested a more flattering hair style with this bonnet.

I'm assuming that either A. the hairstylist who did this show had no idea what Lolita is, or B. Maki & Asuka assumed the models would have average hairstyles - average for a Japanese girl, I mean - only to realize that high fashion models tend to have edgy shit instead.

Surface spell gothic has a few pieces. You can request them to leave out the embroidery on their judgment day pieces, actually, which is velvet.

Magic Tea Party's velvet pieces are supposedly good quality, but they're less old school and more embroidery oriented.

Otherwise, it's good to wait until winter when they start releasing 'heavier' items which usually include velvet.

Every piece of furniture in my house was free or exceedingly cheap. I literally got 6 couches, 3 full size chairs, and dozens of random/plastic chairs for free. If he or you is too lazy to search a bit, then be prepared to throw money at the problem.

On the other hand, my father's couch is $3000. It is a nice fucking couch with lovely bent, steam compressed wood... but fucking $3000 for something to sit and get farted on, I think not.

Ikea is alright, but worthless considering there is always people who are moving or want an upgrade, thus getting rid of perfectly good furniture.

Ikea has some decent pieces(I found some useful prebuilt stuff for my sewing area, I also use one of the slim Billy bookcases as a pantry since our tiny place doesn't have one. But man, we made the mistake of buying a futon couch from Walmart and that thing is a piece of JUNK.

I've seen some cute dressers going in thrift shops for cheaper then ikea prices. I love poking around in thrift shops since I've seen some nice stuff show up. There was an absolutely beautiful dresser I wish I could have gotten at a goodwill. Nice older piece marked at $60. It was way to big for our place though.

All the links he's been sending me are either depressingly ugly and grey or painfully kitsch. I've brought up the plain wood and customization before but according to him, the cheaper items are actually not made from real wood and therefore non-customizable (the items we already own certainly aren't) and anything made from real wood is automatically a price class or two above the rest. Maybe it depends on the price of wood in your region? I honestly don't know.

I'm 100% prepared to spend my time bargain hunting in the many many fabulous thrift stores and estate sales in our area. All the things I brought with me to our current apartment were dirt cheap and older than I am. But he can't be bothered to put the time in, and that's the problem. He even turned down my grandmother's awesome old mahogany table because driving two hours both ways to get it (for free!) was too much of a bother. He's the one driving so I can't complain, but who am I kidding I'm going to complain anyway.

Lolita has helped me hone my thrift-fu something fierce but I don't feel comfortable going out and buying shit without his agreement.

Compared to many other brand and high-end offbrand dresses I own, all the BtSSB dresses I've owned/seen were kind of lacking. Not bad quality as in bad materials or shoddy construction, but they were just.. lacking, in a way. Like only the skirt is lined and lacing details have a really obvious line of stitching cutting right through them. There's nothing really WRONG with them but Baby clearly didn't go the extra mile to make it truly flawless like some other brands like IW do (in my experience).

My IW dresses have been really plain (both material and construction wise) and had the same minor issues (a loose thread or so) that my Baby dresses have.
If anyone has examples of issues, I'd like to see them, I guess. I own a lot of Baby and AatP and have always thought they were better than AP. Not as nice as my MM or the VM that I've seen, but pretty average for other brands.

I'll take a shot at explaining

- Baby's standard is to leave the bodice unlined, which isn't bad, but everybody else seems to do full lining, so it looks as if they're cheaping out
- Baby's skirts don't have hidden pockets compared to AP or MmM, which again is not bad per se, just that other brands do it.
- Same with built-in petticoats (AP has them).
- A lot of Baby's designs have the shoulder straps sewn directly into the bodice whereas AP and IW both use buttons (so that you can move the buttons to lengthen the shoulder straps).
- Baby's skirt hem only has 2+m in them, AP has 3m
- Baby doesn't line their waist ties, AP does.

So basically, a good deal of the perception is because it's being compared to other brands that have features it doesn't, not just the quality alone.

Then there's a few of the controversial ones:

- Baby still uses high quality cotton lace, however, newer lolitas seem to prefer custom novelty lace ala AP instead.
- Baby likes to use a particular baniran weave, personally I think this is a plus point because it doesn't pill as much as cotton, but I've heard the fabric described as cheap and scratchy by girls who prefer smooth cotton.

And lastly, the things that Baby definitely does not do well:
- Baby's corset skirts seem to have far more problems compared to Atelier Pierrot's bustle dresses and skirts
- A few of their costume jewellery really looks like etsy-level stuff, such as lace chokers, but they charge burando prices for them.

Because they are- in terms of quality, at least. Compared to the other brand I own, their fabric just aren't nice- their cottons tend to have this cheap, starchy feeling, their prints have been notorious for running (this seems to have been fixed in recent years but still), I don't like the ribbon they use in a lot of their pieces, etc. It's just not as nice quality as a lot of the other brands I own, and the only major brands I think I've never owned anything from are JetJ and MmM.

>>7777236
The reason I continue to buy pieces from them is not for the quality but because I like how many details they put into their designs. If it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't have ever bought anything else from them. Which is one thing I have to say annoys me about print IW, is that it often lacks a lot of design detail, where as Baby does all kinds of interesting cuts and trims on theirs.

I just ordered the Loyal Rosette Jsk, and I noticed I mistyped my billing address by one number. Will it matter? AP USA has the whole long thing about only shipping the billing addresses, so I already e-mailed them about the mistake.

It's my first time ordering from AP USA, so I'm not sure what their customer service is like. I've e-mailed them about a release before and they never even replied.

First off, thanks for the rundown.
I disagree with a few of these points, but I guess it's also a style issue.
For example, AP's built in petticoats are the bane of my existence. They're mostly useless and a total bitch to pack for traveling or mailing. Also, I have seen more than one newbie use it as an excuse not to wear an actual petticoat.
And the pockets in AP are nice, but I always carry a bag and rarely actually use the pockets anyhow. Not to mention I feel like they're not super classy (I wouldn't really want my MM to have pockets, for example).
Shoulder straps that can be moved are nice/better, but again, plenty of other brands don't offer these, either.
You're right about waist ties, though. My older pieces are unlined, and most of my other brand pieces are lined. However, my newer Baby dresses both have lined waist ties (but they're also chiffon releases).
I really like the fabric used by Baby. Their cotton pieces feel really solid and nice, compared to some AP that I've owned that actually felt cheap, but again, that's probably a matter of taste.
I definitely think most of Baby's jewelry is shit, but I also really only buy jewelry from JM and AP, the latter only because their novelty stuff is super cute and unique to them.

Ikea's okay for certain things. The game-room in my house has our old Klobbo couch in it (we needed something to sit on while our ACTUAL couch was on back-order)
I also keep my Lolita in a Hemnes wardrobe, it's a bit small so I'll have to buy another, but the doors have recessed panels that I'm gonna inlay with wallpaper once I decide which type I want for my dressing room.

So for the past few weeks, I have been trying to wear lolita on Sunday. I also do a lot of my grocery shopping on Sundays. I have noticed that since wearing lolita while I am out, people have been nicer to me. Complete strangers. For example, at two different grocery stores a random guy offered to take my cart back. An employee helped me put my food in my own bags, when normally they wouldn't care less. I also have had more people greet me or say hello. I mean, I still have people who will look at me and then quickly look away, but that's pretty rare. Has anyone else noticed this while wearing lolita? I am classic lolita, so it may be different for sweet or gothic.

You're pretty much in the minority. Most of these are points that I've seen dragged up over and over by other girls in burando quality discussion threads, with Baby on the losing side.

Of course, it's all a matter of comparison. If you really want to see where the $300 you pay for the dress goes to, put Baby's dress next to a H&M dress or a F21 dress. You'll really see how high end Baby's clothes really are (lolita clothing in general, I'd say).

You may need to draw a line in the sand and define how fancy is fancy, because I'm not sure if you want to include bonnets, or if you're specifically asking about, say, floor length dresses with many ruffles that cost $3000, or something in between.

As for myself, I bought bonnets about a year or two into the hobby after I was sure I liked lolita, and I bought the series that I really liked.

As for fancy dresses, I'm an AP fangirl, so pretty much I follow AP trends. I missed the tea party special dresses and had to settle for the non tea party versions. Latest fancy dress I bought is Crystal Dream Carnival's onepiece. Some day I imagine I might be able to throw down $1000 for one of btssb's special wedding-style ruffle dresses.

The first dress I ever bought was an OP with big puff sleeves and a bustle back. That's about as fancy as I've ever gotten, since I tend to wear lolita out and about and don't really attend meetups.

I believe new posts are 1pm Japan time.

I'm in California, and IW always posts reserves and new items every Thursday at 8pm on the Japanese site. I have noticed however, that there is sometimes a bit of delay between the English site and original Japanese site.

For example, when Antique Cutlery went up all of the items had been transferred to the English site on time except for the socks for the series(I couldn't wait much longer for fear they would sell out, so I copied the Japanese item into my order, and still got them).

That is just dickish. No one would do that. If you are buying something that is your money to spend, so as soon as you've spent that money and you've spent it. You find a better deal? Boo-fucking-hoo, most shops give different deals, that is just how life and retail works. You can't just so "Oh sorry buyer but this girl offered me it cheaper after I've paid for my item, can I have a refund to buy it from them instead?" NO. I have only seen this happen once and it was done by a 14 year old who wasn't happy with paying $5 more in shipping cost's. Most people just have buyer remorse but are happy to have the item they've bought, people don't leave bad feedback JUST BECAUSE someone was selling something cheaper.

Avoid lolita tips like the plague, it's shit. Hellolace is a pretty good resource, in terms of actually taking the plunge into lolita I would say: buy second hand rather than new, buy ONE outfit that you can wear rather than a bunch of dresses/skirts that don't match anything, and make sure you like what you buy. Cgl has pretty good taste overall so feel free to post what you're intending to buy - don't do the stupid 'I bought this is it okay' post, because we can't help you take it back if you've already bought something horrendous.

>>7783976
Not unless a particular skirt runs large or you don't need to breathe. Dresses run larger, shirred skirts are ok, but unshirred skirts are best on 25-26" from my experience.

Asking for advice is completely different than being a gigantic pissbaby when no one pops their titty in your mouth and let you suck out all of her milky lolita knowledge
Again, shit your asshole and lurk. Pay attention to what people are reposting as good examples of each substyle in inspiration threads, see what's getting critiqued and why (nitpick threads are good for this), and learn to distinguish between what belongs in the ita and what belongs in the nitpick threads. Ita threads should have no nitpicking and you shouldn't have to justify posting something there so that should be your foundation for what not to do.
Also, don't have a shitty pissbaby attitude, nobody will care about how good your outfits are if you're a vile shitlord.

Newfags can fucking lurk, there are plenty of good resources out there that anon should be able to find pretty easily if she really has done the research necessary to understand the "dos and don'ts" as she says. And the whole "actually good advice!" thing when she got plenty of good advice was classic cunty newfag and I have absolutely no patience for that.
Also, it's not that decora "isn't exactly lolita", it's that it's not lolita at all and if you weren't even able to make that distinction then you need to do a lot more research. If you want more advice on Jfashion in general get it out of this fucking thread.

Generally they don't restock after a colorway sells out but you'll have to watch each release to know for sure (for example, AP's Day Dream Carnival line had a made-to-order run because there was a super high demand for it...that's a super rare case though). The secondhand market would be your best bet though...or pray for a rerelease an hope your preferred colorway is included.

Your best bet is to lurk the plus size tumblr/fb and try to wade past the terrible replicas. From personal experience (same height, 1cm larger bust) a very few brand pieces will fit you. (Disclaimer that I actually have no idea what my hip measurement is, but it's never been an issue.)
AP: Melty Donut, Holy Lantern, and Wonder Queen jsks
Baby: any of the full shirring jsks and blouses
Meta: most of the full shirring jsks but be careful that some of them have really short bodices
IW: some of the stuff that says it's >118cm in bust either isn't actually, or it is but won't sit right

You will probably also need to invest in underskirts since you're on the tall side.

If you check out gorgeouspluslolita on tumblr, look past the parade of ita and find their "plus size friendly brand" page for some options.

If you can get down to 110-112cm bust your options increase quite a bit (that's what I'm trying to do, personally - of course I seem to be losing slowly and everywhere but my bust)

This is the girl who runs it. Does she look like she actually knows anything about the fashion?
It's pretty obvious from her personal blog that her coordinating skills are mediocre at best and she has a hard time distinguishing vaguely girly normalfag from loliable (which is a fine line to be sure, but if you don't know the difference don't run an advice blog for christ's sake).

H-hey anons, if you ask reeeeaaaally nicely, would MaidenClothing split a set for you? They're selling a reasonably popular full set for an outrageous price I doubt anyone's gonna go for, so the specific piece probably won't be reentering the market anytime soon. And the full set contains an accessory I've been searching all of the sales communities for, only to realize it hasn't been sold on English sites since 2012 and who knows about Japanese sites. Should I try emailing them or is it just a waste of my time?

Oh, and by full set, I mean they're selling the dress, + two of the hair accessories. So even if I bought one, they'd still have another hair accessory available...

The winter coats are generally pretty good quality. I've had some of the lighter ones for a few years and they've held up well. I don't have any of the really heavy coats though since it usually doesn't get below freezing where I live, but I know they're super thick and warm.

I have two AP coats, one is the RC short coat and one is the Carnival Unicorn coat. Love the Carnival Unicorn coat, so cosy and cute, definitely one of my favourite things in my wardrobe. The RC coat is cute but doesn't really keep you warm. I'd invest the proper full length Winter coats if I were you.

I'm about to order some cute booties from Modcloth (they're the only site with those booties that ships overseas abloobloo) and is it just me or is their shoe size chart totally off? Pic related.
My feet are 23.8cm and size charts normally tell me to get US size 6.5 or 7, but this one is telling me to get 7.5. I don't want to end up swimming in these things!

Can someone with experience with Modcloth (or someone who owns those Mojo Moxy booties, I know some of you do) tell me how the sizing is? Customer reviews on the site itself aren't that helpful because nobody mentions their feet measurements, just their US shoe size.

Seagulls, I need your wisdom. I've ordered from AP's new site for the first time and they happen to mix up a part of my order - I've got one accessory in the wrong colour. How do I contact them about it? Through their site or through Tenso?
And more importantly, should I contact them at all? I'm afraid to get a ban on shopping...

Does anybody have any advice for someone with abnormally small boobs? My chest is 84cm, but it's basically all ribcage. I have a sunken sternum too, so it LOOKS like I have boobs kinda sorta maybe, if I take my shirt off, but it's just my chest defect.

I'm new to the fashion and bought my first JSK and I'm super upset that even after buying the correct size, getting it adjusted properly with the laces in the back and the straps the right length, wearing a blouse and all that, it's got "boob pockets" I just don't fill out so the chest looks all deflated and weird. Sort of like my hopes and dreams right about now. I don't know what to do besides buy a bra to stuff and I'm honestly about to cry.

Pic related, it's basically what I'm working with here.

I have basically no idea what I'm doing in the bra arena. (My mom nope'd out when I was little, leaving me to be raised by wolves/dad so it never came up.) Taking measurements, I'd be a 34AA? I've never had to wear a bra in my life, much less one to somehow increase/redistribute my inadequate bust to fit jfashion, and I just feel in over my head cuz it's intimidating and I have less than zero clue here.

Guess it sorta serves me right for being like LOL THIS IS A FASHION DESIGNED FOR TINY JAPANESE GIRLS, OF COURSE MY NO-BOOB WILL FIT~!

Here are the caps I have the night of release when it went up. I'm starting to feel a little crazy now.

I did notice the Violin series didn't go up until much later this time, didn't stay up all night, but saw it this morning. I guess IW isn't consistent I guess? Idk, all I know is the majority of releases/reserves I've gotten were Thursday nights around 8pm.

Buy a bra to stuff with that particular dress, and for future purchases make sure the dress you want doesn't have boob pockets unless you want to wear the bra with that too. Some brands are notorious for their relatively roomy boobspace (MM comes to mind) and others sometimes cut their bodices like tubes that only flatter girls with really small chests (IW and BtSSB do this a lot). Learn to recognize those cuts and pounce on them when they appear!
And if the 'emptiness' of a particular dress is less pronounced and you don't want to wear a bra with it, you can just wear a bolero that hides that area completely.

You'll be fine, anon.

See if there's a good lingerie store (not Victoria's Secret) nearby, where employees can help you find your size. It can feel awkward to have a stranger measure you but they do this for a living. I'm sure if you explain your situation they will be happy to help you figure out what to do. You might not even be the first person with your problem they've seen.

I second NOT going to Victoria's Secret. I got fitted there and they told me I was some crazy small size for how big my boobs were. Not that I have giant boobs, but I have always heard that most women wears bras that are too small for them, so I was surprised that they said I wore like an A or B cup. I tried the bra on and it was hilariously small, like the tops AND bottoms of my boobs were squeezing out of the cups.

Left and got fitted at a department store, where they said I was a D cup. Never again, Victoria's Secret. I also think I have heard that they size their bras differently than standard sizing.

Boob anon checking in--ended up going with the first suggestion and finding an easily stuffable "seamless bralette" that doesn't feel like it's murdering my ribcage and a pair of jiggly cutlet things. Push-ups ended up being out of the question (anything with wires, actually); with my chest defect + overall lack of tissue they were all killing me in the sternum and it was not a good thing.

Thanks everybody that chimed in to help out. I was so excited when I put my dress on and it actually looked how it was supposed to. There were happy tears. Feels good, man.

Yup. I had the same experience at VM. I ended up getting remeasured something completely different in Aerie - which I prefer because their aesthetics are cuter and more suitable for twenty-something years old and under. Even if I could fit VM's standards, I couldn't justify spending $40 on a bra with shitty rachel lace as the band's fabric, let alone as trimmings.
