I'm taking measurements for a custom order, I've got ever measurement except my shoulder width. Where exactly on my shoulder should I start the tape? I keep re-doing it because I feel like I'm wrapping it too far around my shoulder or not enough (trying to get this right because I have linebacker shoulders...)

All the guides I've found just say "start at the edge of your shoulder" and that's not super clear

[Anonymous No.7881023]

>>7880989
First off, you can't measure your point to point accurately by yourself because you want your arms relaxed by your sides so that your shoulder blades are in the right place during the measurement. The end points should be the end of your shoulder right as the skin leads down into your arm, pulling the tape back behind your neck but not tight against your neck. The easiest way to get the most accurate measurements is to bring a body chart to your local alterations shop and ask them to do it for you.

Or you could find a fitted blouse that fits you and measure it flat to get a good idea of the width, but you have to account for wearing ease on the garment, it won't be your exact measurement.

[Anonymous No.7881066]

>>7881023
Well that makes sense. Unfortunately there's not a tailor shop nearby and I wouldn't even have a way to get there if there was. I'll see if I can get a second person to do the measurement for me. Thanks!

It's gone now, but I found a page on the AP USA site about their 4th anniversary tea party. Apparently Maki and Asuka can't make it this year. For a $100 purchase and a $60 ticket, I don't think it's worth it if nothing special is going on. It's super disappointing IMO.

I lied, the info is still there. Copy-pasted from the page.

Tea Party ticket for Angelic Pretty San Francisco branch 4th Year Anniversary!!
*Tea Party will take place on November 23rd 2014 (Sunday) from 2:30pm~4pm.
*Venue of party will be walking distance from Angelic Pretty San Francisco store.
*Purchase of $100 or more is required for eligibility to purchase ticket.
*Qualifying purchases must be made starting from October 16th 2014 from the Angelic Pretty San Francisco website or physical store location in San Francisco.
*Purchase of gift certificate is not eligible for the $100 requirement. Purchases made using gift certificates as a form of payment is eligible.
*Tickets are bind to the purchaser and are not transferable.
*Physical tickets will not be mailed out.
*Tickets are non-refundable.
*For this time, we won't be able to have Angelic Pretty designers - Maki & Asuka- at the party due to their schedule.
There will be some surprise from them at the party, so don't get too disappointed!

It seems like it's really not worth it, especially I'm not too keen on anything they have in stock at the moment.

I recently bought a dress with one of those high, floaty waists. Although I'm not particularly busty (32B/C), I'm thinking about investing in a binder since those dresses tend to make anyone with a chest look preggo. Yay/nay good idea? Any recommendations?

I've done that, but, with a sports bra things just ended up looking like a lumped together uniboob. I thought a binder would give me a flatter look? I'm really small all over, so, even with my small bust I can look chesty in a normal bra due to the contrast. I wish I had an A cup. Boobs suck, anyone want to trade?

[Anonymous No.7881794]

I have a small question. I've always wanted to model in a jfashion show at a con but I've always worried that I wouldn't get accepted because of my bust.
I have a skinny muscular build but I have a larger chest size.
I have a 36 inch bust with a 28 inch underbust so I can fit into Angelic Pretty and Btssb.
I was just wondering if anyone with the same or greater bust has modeled in a jfashion show before.

If your waist is significantly smaller than your bust I don't think a binder will help much - those types of dresses will always make your chest look huge and the rest of you preggo.

The pregnant thing happens when you wear a petticoat with it. People are so concerned with ~the rules~ that they forget to actually look good and common sense goes out the window. These dresses look best with a small petti or no petti if your legs are thin enough.

literally every "rule" in lolita can be broken and have it still be lolita as long as you don't decide to break them all in the same outfit *and it's done well*. I've been meaning to make a secret about it with pictures of great outfits with a broken rule for years but I never get around to it. Lolita is the look itself not any one particular thing.

But the fashion is made up of ~geek nerd girls~ who literally know nothing about fashion and need to be actually guided with a set of rules about the asthetic of the fashion and I've been annoyed by this since 2006 when all the weebs came over and we actually had to write a guide with a set of things that make a lolita because of how fashionably impared they where, and we got tired of explaning the fashion to noobs. And to this day were still hearing about THE RULES and uuugh they where never meant to be rules set in stone, we where just explaining the fashion to people who had a hard time grasping the concept visually and needed to actually be told how to lolita.

But would not wearing a blouse with a JSK still constitute as a good look that fits the fashion? I agree that showing knees and small or even no pettis can still look very nice, but I cringe every time I see anybody going blouse-less.

oh, you're one of those. you probably think a coordinate can be lolita without a petticoat too, right?

[Anonymous No.7882137]

>>7882135
It can. It depends on the dress. A lot of summery sailor collar dresses are meant to be worn with bare arms, as one example.

With length, it depends on the height of the wearer and the overall look. Provided you're not trying to pass off a Leg Avenue length dress as lolita, there's flexibility in skirt length still.

>>7882121

Didn't choke just post a coord without a petti and all the cool kids agreed that yes recently?

I've seen so many good coords without a petti in my short lolita life (99% done with A-line dresses) Things don't suddenly turn not lolita because of a petticoat. It looks better with it yes but to call it not lolita is a streach.

[Anonymous No.7882149]

>>7882136
Oh you're one of those. Plenty of dresses have a nice poof because of buil-in pettis, and for an everyday 'casual' look this is enought. Not saying that it work for every style an every dress, but a nice plain classic skirt with a buil-in petti is sometimes enought poof.

[Anonymous No.7882155]

>>7882145
>Didn't choke just post a coord without a petti and all the cool kids agreed that yes recently?

No? Responses to that coordinate were pretty mixed, even among the "cool kids". There's also been a lot of fuss about tea-length skirts not being lolita either because they look so off with even minimal poof. Victorianme used to get flack all the time for wearing long dresses and skipping out on a petti, choke isn't special and can't magically make an empty skirt lolita.
A coordinate can still be -good- without a petti (though some dresses just look way better with even minimal poof), just don't try to call it lolita and there won't be a problem.

sorry for the list on the side, I got a bit lazy and didn't want to dig to photograph everything.

[Anonymous No.7882157]

>>7881635
It's not your boobs that make you look pregnant, they've got nothing to do with it it's the petticoat. Use a very small petti and make sure it doesn't sit at dresses waist but on YOUR waist.

Only skinny bitches can pull it off with no petti and to be honest I think it would look better with one anyway.

>>7882149
Anon, you do realize that a built-in petti is still a petti right? Like, what are you even trying to say? The argument isn't whether explosive poof makes a coordinate lolita or not, it's the presence or absence of poof which should vary based on the skirt.

[Anonymous No.7882168]

>>7882158
Youre probably being overtly critical lol

I'm just as skinny (90 lbs with A cups) and honestly as a daily lolita they're god sent. I never wear a petti with them to avoid the preggo bump, and I'm small enough to have it flare out nicely in its own. I do alter nearly all my clothes to fit me though. Having it fit nicely up top is important, otherwise yea I can see how the starving child look would happen.

Stuff I didn't put into collages because it would take way too much time:
I have matching headbows for all AP JSKs and skirts except the non-print ones.
My socks are pretty generic; I have a lot of AP socks and tights.
I have very few pairs of shoes (gold heels, brown heels, and pink tea parties) and very few bags.

I think I've fallen into the very common pitfall of having a diverse wardrobe but only 1-2 coordinates per item. You don't have to tackle my entire wardrobe, but I'd like some suggestions on items that would work with lots of the pieces I have because I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Wait, my wadrobe is mostly classic and old school but I do have some 2009 AP with no built in petti. Does AP still do built in petticoats? I've seen the fabric itself has gotten WAY thinner than what they use to use/I own. Thick cotton holds a nice shape even with no built in petti, but the stuff I've seen looks like it would be lifted with a gust of wind.

Anyway, the no petticoat thing depends in the dress entirely. On the cut the fabric on everything. And the coord itself too, of course.

Looking for sax pieces to add to my pink SC coord since I have the pink and blue pony bag, and everything else I have is pink. (dont have the matching headbow or socks, but I have a pink headbow and pink socks)
Was thinking about this cardigan from bodyline but idk how well the color matches to the sax blue from the bony bag or the dress accents itself. Also thinking about sax socks instead of pink ones, maybe a sax headbow too? I plan on getting the matching socks and headbow for the set, but until then I think I might as well use sax pieces instead to make it more balanced.

That's the thing, I don't understand why she's playing this game of "make me offers" when she should just auction it. It's like she's having an auction where she can turn down the 'bids' at anytime if she doesn't like the price.

Ugh,
So I just got my antaina shoes a couple of days ago from my lolita dress. The shoes look and fit great. Im not crazy about my brown pair, but Im really liking my pink ones.
Anyways, today when I was searching in my closet and I made a mess. As I picked my lolita shoes off the ground, I noticed that one pair came with a 'flaw'. Part of the sole part was missing. Its just foam.

It's pretty expensive because they only do EMS and it's not the discounted rate that shopping services get for shipping out in bulk.

Seagulls help.

I got some extra money and I wanted to treat myself to a Taobao dress or skirt, something a little warmer (longer) than my current closet, which is full of summery shit, and now I can't fucking decide what to get.

I wear classic and gothic, and I kind of wanted something I could wear to chirstmas at the BF's. His family is super nice and accepting but I don't want to go overboard.

Any suggestions?

I also have purple hair, so something in a color that would look okay with that without a wig would be a plus.

Budget is ~$100. I was just going to order from My Lolita Dress because I'm a lazy shit, but if I find a dress I really like I'll just use a SS.

It's not that long, but it looks like it would be pretty easy to dress down, and I think the purple parts of the print, especially in the wine colorway, would match your hair pretty nicely.

3. Bodyline white blouse has detachable sleeves and jabot
4. Bodyline pink blouse has detachable sleeves and is there is no front bow
5. Beige IW OTK socks in reality look white on my legs
6. I also have handmade wristcuffs (dark brown with mint ribbons) and brown beret (to which I can attach any bow/ribbon/etc)
7. I have jewelry to match all of the outfits

The pieces I'm planning to add:
1. Black high waist skirt
2. Pink shoes
3. Pink bag
4. A more classic-looking brown bag

I just need direction what should I add here in order to make more coordinates. I'm afraid of buying too much stuff I can't wear because it won't match.

Puppet circus is one of those weird prints where you can auction it off and no one will bid one week, and three weeks later it can go for a crazy price because three people wanted it.

Also, most of the girls I know who would pay the market price for that dress are also the sort of people who aren't interested in posting publicly that they want to buy something that pricey anyways. Certain members of the lolita community PM by default, and it's much more common with the more affluent ones than the average lolita. I don't know if it still happens, but in the past, there was a fairly big isssue with girls getting jelly over people who had rare pieces or large closets and harassing them. I know a number of lolita with large (100+ piece) closets and most of them have said they won't do closet posts because they are still concerned about harassment.

Cause yeah I don't think I really mind that weird puff *that* much, if it happens to mine.

Not sure, She said it would take around two weeks to make but when I contacted her at two weeks she said she was still working on it. I'm planning on checking in again sometime this weekend.
Yeah I bought it mostly because I thought the design was nice and ridiculously cheap, if I don't like it I may be able to modify it into something I can wear.

>>7885605
Yes, she makes them to order so I'm thinking it will be fine, but again, for the price, I really didn't mind finding out. If its a nice piece she also had some okay blouses for sale.

People that want free art are sometimes so bitchy about it though, so maybe it put people off.

Hello. I want to get into lolita. But before I start buying things, I want to see if I can incorporate items already in my wardrobe. From what I can tell, lolita blouses typically have a peter pan collar. What about outerwear? I have a ton of soft knit sweaters but it seems like most lolita sweaters are short in the torso whereas my sweaters typically fall a little above my hips. Is that a no no? Thanks you.

[Anonymous No.7885955]

>>7885949
It depends, but I would advise against it. They tend to bunch up on top of or over your waist ties in an ugly fashion. They also make the waist area of the coord look less defined, which doesn't help the silhouette. Maybe you could alter them?

[Anonymous No.7885956]

>>7885939
All good. Quick question though, is your Bodyline skirt the blue version?

[Anonymous No.7885960]

I see. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks! I'd prefer not to alter them since I don't have a big enough budget to overhaul my entire wardrobe to wear lolita daily so I'll be needing them for more every day wear. Seems like I'll have to get lolita sweaters then!

BrownxBlack is basically never okay unless you're really good at coordinating. Which you're probably not since you're asking.
BlackxNavy might be okay if the dress has it but still.... stay away.

Couple questions for those of you who have used tenso to order from AP:

- Had a pending payment for AP's third party CC system (p-something) but it's completely vanished from my CC account now, does that mean they cancelled on their side? (already called my card to check if it was this side and it's not)
- If I forgot to specify delivery date and time am I screwed?

Been trying to google this but everything that comes up is the basic "this is how you tenso" and I ordered back on the 13th. For reference, it's the Victorian Letter skirt so I'm not sure how new releases work at all.
