This gives me the impression that MCD is your first dessert print. Not all baked sweets are created equal, anon. Even that donut bracelet looks really out of place because the icing is so brightly-colored on the pink ones (and the rainbow sprinkles are tacky). The wig is a nice style and color (though enabling choke and her overpriced wigs is a poor choice financially imo).

Also, I personally hate it when people wear a bolero instead of a blouse with a JSK because I think it looks really lazy.

Just...ew to this whole thing.

Kill the Eat Me bag, it doesn't match the casual classy look you have going on. I would also just use a plain white beret with a pink bow on it, and sheer white tights or pink/ white otks. The shoes aren't amazing, but will work fine. I know heart bags are a bit overdone, but I think a white one would look super cute with this.

the whole coord you have so far is a bit... beige. i'd try to highlight some of the dark browns or pink in the print more so you don't look so washed out. also the beret is more white that ivory, so it will look a bit off tbh

It's not really an issue of sweet vs. classic though, it's an issue of combining too many motifs that are not represented in the print. You wouldn't wear mums, lilies, and violets with a rose print, would you??
I would have much less of an issue with this many motifs being represented if anon was trying to coordinate one of ETCs dessert clusterfuck prints or something, but MCD is pretty much exclusively donuts and cutlery. There are small hearts and pretzels in the print as well but I don't think those should be major elements in the rest of the coordinate.

There's really nothing inherently wrong with what you've got now, it's just boring as fuck.
T-Strap shoes many be a little bit too classic depending on the rest of your coordinate and I'd recommend finding some simple mary-janes instead. You're definitely going to want some sort of subtle pattern on your legwear (just avoid polka dots or horizontal stripes that would clash with the vertical stripes in the print). You can also add some lacy ankle socks too, depending on how sweet you wanna go.
That beret is really plain and looks cheap, if you found one that was a little bit better quality you could always clip some cute little bows or pins to it to sweeten it up.
I'd still go for a blouse instead of the bolero if I were you, that way you'll have an easier neckline to coordinate necklaces with, especially since that bolero in particular not only has the scalloped edging but also ties in a bow and whatever necklace you pick will probably hang awkwardly or be hard to see with all of that other stuff going on.
Man, I'm trying really hard to not be angry at you for owning one of my dream pieces and not having any idea how to coordinate it, but it's really difficult.

Bless you for asking for help and being really chill about concrit, anon.

This isn't really a full coordinate collage but I grabbed a couple of things that are still pictured on various brand sites that might inspire you.

I picked the necklace primarily because you can adjust the length a lot more with the ribbon as opposed to a chain and clasp. Gave you a non-beret option for headwear too, Innocent World actually has a ton of versatile brown headbows with beige or cafe au lait lace on them that would be really cute with this print too!

And it just occurred to me that I forgot to include a bag option, gimme a sec to go dig us a couple of things.

Yes, it's a replica. Bought it to see if the print would work for me.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'd need tights instead of knee socks, but what else needs improvement? I'm gothic, but I'm a sucker for sweet prints, so I don't have much to work with in the way of sweet items. Also, excuse the room - in the middle of revamping everything and it's all a bit muddled.

That's a Dream of Lolita replica. I hope you burn that thing after you've upgraded, and maybe sprinkle some holy water on the remains to keep that thing from crawling back out of the depths from whence it came.

Please get a long sleeved blouse. Short puff sleeves DO NOT flatter full busted ladies. And don't feel obligated to pile on the black accessories. It'll make the coord seem lazy and boring.
There's a lot of colour to pull from this print. Try white or pale pink with small pastel accessories, and a matching headbow or candy fascinator. Headbow might be easiest, since it already exists to match.

Look at attached photo for a bright and easy coord. Substitute long sleeves.

Not sure where else to ask, maybe you guys can help.

A while ago I bought this early 20's vintage, bonnet and I'm having a hard time looking for shoes and a bag to match. I'm a daily lolita, so its not for any particular coordinate. With shoes and/or a bag to match I can wear it with damn near anything in my closet. I wear sweet-classic, and the picture is slightly off in colour but true enough. Might be slightly pinker irl but not too much.

Feel free throw anything you can find at me, even if you're not sure. Thanks a bunch!

The purse/shoes seem a bit too random, as does the blouse color--I would do a white blouse and navy shoes with white lace tights. Or, to keep the silver shoes, add silver jewellery, ditch the purse, and use a navy or white blouse.

Vintage idea: cream tea gloves, a simple pearl necklace, brown t-strap heels or oxfords with cream tights or socks, a brown vintage style handbag, maybe a simple blue or cream cardigan, and blue flowers or ribbon in the hair. A braid crown or curls would look especially cute.

I hope this is related enough. If not, sorry! For those of you with chocolate main pieces, what color shirts do you lean toward? I'm looking to jazz up my wardrobe and have pic related and a few other chocolate main pieces. Do you go for rich colors, pastels, staples like white?

There's this gorgeous ETC cutsew with bows on the back and 3/4 length sleeves in brown that I lean on but that much brown can start to look dour.

It depends on the style of the piece for me. The more sweet AP style pieces I like with pastel pink, lavender, or mint, but otome/ETC-style pieces work better with gold, salmon, lighter shades of brown, or cream.

Gold is my number one pick to really fancy up a coord, especially with a blouse and socks/tights in cream, and shoes and accessories in gold.

But I think brown on brown can work! I think a pale mocha brown pairs really nicely with chocolate prints, to add variety and visual interest.

Well, I just bought one of my dream dresses, the Surface Spell Nun OP, and while I have two coords for it I'm stumped as for how I can style it in any other ways.
First coord is the obvious nun inspired one (black shoes and tights, rosary, black headdress) and second is old school (white tights, black shoes, black headbow with white lace).
I really would love to find a way to coordinate it in a more classic or mature-looking way, but everything else I try comes out looking too 14-year-old-goth-girl... Would love suggestions!

Just an FYI, I own those shoes from an tai na and they are the most uncomfortable shoes I own.

I think you'll have to use pastels with it, but I was thinking white tights with a star motif, pale pink knee high boots (not sweet lolita ones, maybe something like dreamv has), pale pink blazer (think ETC/VM/MM rather than baby or AP blazers with all the lace and frills), white satchel bag and simple updo with small white hairbow.

>>7913387
I really like the main pieces you've chosen, very glamorous and elegant. You've got great color balance between the skirt, blouse, wig, and hairpiece (I'd go with the red roses). The accessories could use a little work. The shoes and bag look a little too casual, or maybe too modern. ASOS has a black scalloped satchel that would be just as versatile, but the feminine detail will tie it into the overall outfit better. Vintage style lace-up boots will work better than the oxfords. The earrings are throwing me off; would they even show underneath the wig and hairpiece? If they do, it could be too much interest in one spot. Perhaps simple pearl studs, instead? As for the gloves - I love gloves, but the ones in the picture look cheap and scratchy. Etsy sometimes has very nice vintage gloves, and they shouldn't be too expensive. You've got a great foundation, a couple small tweaks will push it into excellent territory!

Hair-wise: I would've gone with french plaits or something a bit more elegant. It's not a wig you need, just a decent hairstyle.
Tights: black tights/shoes means the blouse is the only white - I would go with white lace tights or tights with a motif matching the dress.
Shoes:I assume you were doing a lot of walking, so the shoes get a pass from that point of view but if you wanted to make this a bit more elegant, I would go with low-heeled mary janes or victorian styled boots.

>>7913387
Not quite feeling this as a coord - there's a bit too much pull in opposite directions. As mentioned, the bag and oxfords are casual whilst the rest of the coord has an elegant feel. Those lace gloves look like cheap ass dollar store ones and given that they're bodyline, are probably on par. I'm also not sold on tights and earrings.
I'd nix the gloves, find more interestingly patterned tights (maybe flocked rose ones, which I'm sure I saw at H&M earlier today), go with dangly black/red rose earrings, get low-heeled victorian style boots and consider red rose shoe clips (you can use hairclips with an alligator back). The bag you chose is pretty cute, but you could also make the bag a statement - there's a perfume shaped one and cat shaped on asos as well.

I'll probably go with the ASOS satchel, since I'm only starting out my wardrobe and need some versatility. My only black handbag is pretty old, so I think I'll invest in something more basic for now. I'll totally cop that cat bag at some point though.

Yeah, Bodyline was the only place I saw lace gloves initially. When the other anon alerted me to Etsy I did find a few nice pairs, is your problem the Bodyline ones in particular or do you think I should just scrap the idea altogether?

I've seen a lot of cute tights in high street shops lately, so that particular detail shouldn't be a problem. Failing that, there's always Taobao. The earring idea is nice.

Finally, boots! I've looked at every shoe shop we have here that I can think of, and I can't find anything of interest. I don't know online shops so well though. Does anyone know where I could find some?

I don't think they work in this outfit, and I don't think they will be versatile if you're just starting out either. Boots-wise, what's your price range and where are you located? Hush Puppies have the gorgeous Vivianna boots, and 'alternative' brands like TUK and Funtasma (costume shoes) usually have them. Otherwise, Forever21 has some in stock that are labelled 'lace up combat boots' that IMO have a nice shape to them and would look fantastic if you replaced the laces with velvet ribbon and added shoe clips.

I really really love lolita, and I really want to get into it. I've been lurking for awhile, and perusing second hand sites for some nice stuff.

I have no idea how to break free from this, because each collage is exactly what I'd do- what I find really really pretty.

From just these two it looks that you're a bit classic leaning and like pairing long sleeved blouses with high-waisted skirts. Provided you accessorise well you're not going to look same-y. If high-waist skirts look good on you there's nothing wrong with building a wardrobe full of high-waisted skirts. Like, I'm not sure what you think the problem is?

If you've already received the dress, you could try taking it down to your local hair accessories places and see if you can find a matching navy hairpiece. A simple headband or a simple ribbon can be dressed up by doing your hair up, maybe try a braid crown or adding braid extensions. Wigs can be braided, too, but you'd have to be careful to do it in a way that does not expose the base of the hair.

If you're okay with not sticking to a rose theme, you could look for a gold headband whose gold matches your dress, or if you want to look less monotone you could pick up either a gold and rhinestone or gold and pearl headband, and then add rhinestones or pearls (depending on which one is on your headband) into your coordinate. You can keep the gold headband simple and low-key for a normal coord, or look for the bridal ones, and do your hair up in fancy updos, for a more OTT look.

I'm not much help with the shoes though.

As for boots, you might try Demonia. They're mostly all about the stompy goth boots, but they have the lovely Tesla series. Modcloth periodically gets Victorian-style boots in, especially in fall/winter. DSW and 6pm both have great search engines and carry hundreds of brands, you might have good luck there.

Oh good! I ordered it yesterday, it was £17 (the site listed it as €24 but Bodyline has taught me to know better). Those Demonia boots are gorgeous, but the heel might be a little high for my liking.

I updated the coord with what I'm currently thinking of, including a pair of boots that seem to have very good reviews and all. The tights are potentially only temporary because the H&M website is awful so I just chose a pair from F21 that are similar to the suggestions I've received.

Congrats on the great taste, anon!

You could go several directions with this dress, really. If you're going for a toned-down, more casual lolita look I would say to use white as your base color and pick just one of the colors featured in the print to play off of with your other coordinated items. Also, try to avoid using extra motifs elsewhere in your coordinate since the print is so busy; avoid items with hearts, stars, or other common "neutral" motifs that would make your coordinate look super cluttered and stick to playing up the bows in the print.
OR, you could cruise the otome kei thread and draw some inspiration from the quirky use of color, texture, and pattern to put together something busy but harmonious. I would just avoid patterns like plaid that would compete with the print for your visual attention, but you've got a lot to play with considering the patterns already featured in the dress. In the print, I see polka dots, what looks like gingham, a dress with an applique, and one with a small all-over print that could all be exploitable in your other coordinated items. Extra kudos if you can find a bag or shoes like one shown on the dress, too!

Oh man, that's cute! How do you feel about white, gold stars and pearl motifs? I was thinking white chiffon high collar blouse, chocomint star clips (the metallic not the fuzzy) with the pearl dangles, pearl jewellery with gold findings, white tights with gold stars/sparkly bits on them (I'm sure I've seen ones with little gold glitter dots on them as well as with teeny stars before, but can't find them right now - maybe look at someone who does custom printing on etsy), and gold shoes with a pearl chain.

>>7915204
Ah, fair enough. If you're struggling with heel height, Clarks has the Madelyn Ella but that'll probably set you back at least €70 - I would suggest looking on amazon or ebay if you're having trouble finding nice affordable ones in person.

I thought of these when I was thinking about the ribbon motifs but, I don't like them as much as I thought I did. Maybe some white polkadot tights? I saw some tights with ribbon lace too. I'll keep looking around
Also do I go with white or ivory, the lace on the bodice is ivory but the print is white.
And burgundy shoes to match the dress (or is the dress brown)

Please help me anons... I reserved this dress a while ago and I'm not sure which shoes I should pick for it.
Which ones do you think would go better with this dress? Purple shoes or the black VM replica boots? The high-heeled purple shoes or the flat ones?
In case of purple shoes I have a coord in mind with an ivory blouse + legwear and some purple accessoires and in case of black shoes a mix of ivory and black items.
Also what kind of bag would you recommend? I don't have anything that would match this color.

I don't like the shape of the purple shoes as the round toe/lowish heel/bow pushes them into sweet territory for me, the Queen Transcendent Elizabeth would be better. I'm surprised you're not using any of the blues and golds in this print, certainly I'd be more interested in those colours which may give you more bag/shoe inspiration - there's definitely a gold unicorn shaped bag on eBay, although it's a very yellow gold...

Personally I wouldn't wear that blouse with that dress. Its got a kind of classic/romantic feel to it whereas the dress is fun and flirty. If you want to stick with this color scheme, I would probably go with a short sleeved white blouse and then get brown wristcuffs with pink bows on them so the amount of white is still limited. Like, in the print theres only spots of white here and there so I feel like there should be as minimal white as possible in the rest of the outfit. I really just feel like that classic blouse would clash with the sweet dress, plus there are a lot of chest ruffles involved with that combo and I think it'd bring too much attention to your chest. Also I like the idea of finding chocolate brown tights and wearing the socks over them to really show off the diamond pattern on them and repeat the harlequin print on the dress.

Well, my thing with this skirt is its my ~dream print~ so I am looking for different ways to wear it all the time. Sure, I've done sweet coords with white with it, but I get bored of that and just want to wear it as many ways as possible (that don't directly clash, wouldn't pair it with sax or something)
I wish I had better pictures, the top actually has gold print on it so it goes with the gold of the skirt.
>>7924950
Do you think I could do that and keep the pink purse, top and collar? I like this idea a lot.

If anyone has the white version of this dress they should def get these tights though.

I love the shoes too I'm getting them in gold :)
>>7924986
Oh I see, I think you can bring navy into it or maybe a deep royal purple?
I'd have to see the pink items better, I didn't even realize they were pink tbh.
Pink is too close on the color wheel to compliment such a deep red imo.

I like those tights yeah.
Improved slightly?
I think it'd be really cute if you have long hair to have to long braids with little bows/roses at the ends. Or if not maybe a black wig with braids.

Look at the Angelic Pretty website, look through lacemarket, egl comm sales on livejournal, and lolita sales in english on facebook, we can't tell you what you like, figure that out yourself, lurk moar.
Maybe look through the wishlist threads?

Maybe it just looks that way in the picture, but your reds seem mismatched, and I don't think pink and red go together at all. I think the hair color is fine with it though!

I'd pull out that red as the accent color and go for some very lightly patterned/sheer white tights. You could also use go for brown as the accent color for shoes and bag.

accessory suggestions for this are what im lookin' for, along with different ideas for a blouse. sorry for some of the random numbers, they were for keeping track of my budget in my other version

btw just to clarify, that picture is for the wig, not the headbow

Why didn't you hang onto it and just lose the weight to fit it? I used to be a bit of a fatty chan and having a beautiful dress to fit into gave me the determination to fit it and look good in it. I hope you get it again though anon, good luck!

>all this time I've never noticed she wears yellow shoes.

I would honestly ditch the cardi. Minnie's trademark is the red with white polkadots, not the yellow accent. To top things off, the cardi looks a bit too long, it'll make you look frumpy in lolita, and the colour doesn't seem to match either pair of shoes. I'd replace it with either a black or matching red bolero instead.

The rest is pretty cute. If you feel like the yellow shoes don't quite fit the rest of the coord, you could change them to yellow shoes.

If you really want to keep the yellow shoes, I'd try for a much closer coord, ie- wear a red top to match Minnie's red top instead of the black, and add a red bow either on the sock, or on top of the shoes.

This is my coord so far for HyperJapan. I'm pretty happy about the basics; the JSK, blouse, socks, shoes etc but I'm not sure about the wig. Is it too much pink? I have a straight brown wig with a fringe that I can use instead, it can be styled into plaits, pigtails etc
