I'm really a really happy seagull right now oh god. I was worried doing alterations to the back could end up being really disastrous but now I don't have to do anything for it ahh.

It's still not ready for wearing out yet though since the sleeves aren't long enough and the cuffs go up past my elbows so I can't button it closed. If I wore it now it's look silly with the cuffs unbuttoned and half my forearm exposed. No amount of weightloss will shorten my arms so that alteration will still need to be done.

Seriously though this is really motivating me to keep losing weight!

To be honest, I have the assburgers myself and I still have a habit of describing things as autistic (I wasn't diagnosed until I was 18, so maybe that's why I'm not so bothered by it, I dunno).

It's hard to predict whether that interest will wax or wane.

I haven't heard about needing a blank face. I used a smiling one. The pictures on my company's website for new employees which are taken from their applications are almost always smiling or in some way friendly looking.

Also are you applying for jobs or internships? You gotta try putting some experiences out of college on your application. If you're lucky and can get a hold of people who rejected your application you could also ask them what was wrong. I genuinely don't think your looks influence the decisions that much unless there's someone as qualified as you and better looking. Or you are really disfigured and applying for customer contact heavy jobs.

Maybe you're aiming too low? I know someone that went to Oxbridge (this was pre-recession) and although they'd had no trouble getting career jobs, when they took time out to have kids and were applying for part-time receptionist-level shit they found it really hard to get a job because everyone saw the prestigious university on her CV and assumed she wouldn't stay in a low-level job like that for long. If a few months' job search has driven to applying to retail positions, it's not surprising that you're (a person who they'll assume would move on from the job after a few months and has no retail experience anyway) is getting rejections.

But overall it took her ten or more years to build back up to a decent career. I think it would have been different if she'd lived in London though; most of the problem was that there weren't many graduate jobs in the rural area she'd moved to for kids anyway.

I feel like they think I'm crass in comparison, but I have no interest in affecting a sweet, "feminine" demeanor just because I'm wearing frills. I think it's adorable that they do, don't get me wrong, it's so cute that they take it that far and really get into it, and I'm never crude or anything, but I sometimes wish I had someone else in my comm to act kind of dumb with and who thinks it's funny to, like, suggest we all do shots at our 1pm meet and stuff. Who will talk to me like a chill person instead of responding to everything like "oh how absolutely lovely, dear!" or "oh my, how utterly atrocious, you poor thing". I wish I were exaggerating, but they all talk like that and giggle behind their hands and stuff, and they're all so sweet and nice, but it gets old.

I don't have the heart to tell her that she looks terribly bad but she's also a stay at home mom so I suppose it gives her something to do while her kids are at school?

She found an "Elsa" mermaid fin on ebay too and is thinking of doing mermaid Elsa for summer pool parties.

Nobody remembers but I'm that balding anon who posted few threads ago. I shaved the rest of my pitiful hair and after this weekend, wigs it is until a miracle happens.

At least we had shaving my head party. It was worth it. Got shiny new quality wig from a friend. I feel kinda less miserable now. I'm already thinking what I should say when people around me start commenting about changing wigs, but if I have to wear them for the rest of my life or go bald and get pitiful you've-got-cancer or you're-a-militant-feminist looks, I can at least do it with style and lots of colors.

The only thing I'm now worried of is how am I going to deal with drawing my eyebrows every day. It is hard even now and when I lose natural hair there as well, it'll be even harder.

tl:dr life is okayish, and I'm bald now, so I have an excuse to buy lots of wigs

She asked to add me on Facebook. I'm an autist and usually too scared to even look at people on public transport but tend to gravitate toward other weirdos.

Drank (and got drunk) for the first time in my life today.

I hate myself and I want to fucking disappear.
I'll admit that WHILE I was drunk, I was fucking happy as shit. But before and after? Miserable. Actually drinking the alcohol made me wince each time and every time I thought, "I should not be doing this."

I dunno just like, I struggled with an ED and my mom told me that because of it I'm like, "impure" or whatever. Like I wasn't "straight-edge" enough because of it and shouldn't even bother. It wasn't about being straight-edge, though. It was about just being scared of it. (My father, sister, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and potentially more are all alcoholics and I watched it fuck up their lives.)

I just hope I never ever drink again. I'm so disappointed in myself.

Americans DEFINITELY drink underage, but I think with the comparatively high drinking age, kids are more likely to go overboard in secret since their parents are too scared of teaching them about limits.

I don't really drink for reasons, but saying this after drinking once is pretty dumb. There are thousands of different drinks, it just seems close minded to say it tastes awful after only trying it once.

Also, since you are underage I assume you were drinking cheap stuff. In a couple years go somewhere slightly upscale and try out some well made drinks, then make your decision.

>>8094136
My friends gave me various stuff, but yes I think it was all cheap. But it was the feeling of it hitting my stomach, too that I didn't like. Also as stating earlier, this was a huge mistake because drinking has scared me my entire life but I did end up drinking because of one bad stressed out decision that I didn't want to do, but did anyway for reasons. In this regard, I want to be closed minded. I don't mind when other people drink, but I don't want to do it anymore and hell I want to think all taste this nasty because I don't want to find anything I like, because if I did I would be scared.

The thing with coffee or hot sauce or alcohol is that people don't tend to wake up and be like 'Oh, I suddenly think this is delicious now'. It's more of an acquired taste, which you have the choice to acquire but how the hell are you going to acquire it if you only try it once and then refuse to ever again (not to mention there are different types of coffee/hot sauce/alchool and just because you hate black coffee doesn't mean you'll hate iced latte).

I just don't want to be friends with them any more. They're immature, mean, and one of them is a straight-up racist.

They constantly belittle me and tell me I'm useless, stupid, etc. even though I'm doing more (hobbies wise, work wise, university wise) than they ever will and am already planning the rest of my life while they sit on their butts living off their parents.

But I'm too much of a pushover to just tell them I don't want to be friends...

I keep telling myself Tshirts are easy to take in, but I've got such a backlog that it's pissing me off.

People aren't giving you weird looks because you're thin, they're giving you looks because you sound like a retard.
>measurements for blouses and most online things are listed
>you can't seem to figure out how to measure yourself and buy clothes within reason

You're in the same vein as the fatty screaming about things not fitting when they purchase without thinking. Grow up, you can totally control what you're buying. Or like the fatasses, shop at stores that cater to your body type so there's no second guessing.

I'm sick of how easy it is to be fat when you wear lolita all the time. I'm pear shaped, short, and have a small frame, and like you most stuff is too big, so I don't have any motivation to stay fit. I can't fit any of my jeans or shorts, but I still get my lolita stuff on with ease.I need to start wearing normalfag fashion and showing my midriff.

[Anonymous No.8094904]

I'm complaining because the clothes I like don't cater to my sizing, not because there's nothing out there in my size, stop projecting. I can buy something in my size from the highstreet, but I don't want that, I want weird clothes from the internet that the mid-range sized people get to buy.
I stand by the belief that if I bring that up around bigger girls, they'd get pissed off at me even though they complain that AP etc is too small all the time.

>>8094880

So are you just projecting that this is what they'd do? Sounds like it to me.
Believe it or not, there are also fellow tall, short, and yes plus size girls whom you may find a kindred spirit with because they go through the same problems you do. Fat girls don't automatically have a hate boner for anyone smaller than them, the entire world isn't high school.

[Anonymous No.8094934]

Taobao offerings in size S are good, a lot of the OL blouses are loliable and have less ease than lolita ones. It's also the lack of anything fitted around my lower abdomen/hips/thighs. Maybe we both need to start wearing gyaru, sizes are actually small and there's a lot of emphasis on staying thin, particularly if you want to look like the models

[Anonymous No.8094958]

>>8094904
Yeah no, I'm going to agree with the anon you replied to that people give you weird looks because you can't seem to read measurements or measure yourself before buying something.
If it doesn't fit, take it in if you can sew or take it to a seamstress. Better yet, go shop at places that does custom sizing. Ain't that hard.

I know this is dumb and nobody cares, but I feel you missed the entire reason for my 'feel', like like the other responder.
I didn't say people give me weird looks, I said that they would (or I imagine they would) if I did talk about it. I also later said that my distress is specifically about what the brands that I like do offer for sizing, and not that I can't measure myself or alter/ find other clothes that would fit. It doesn't matter how many other places do my size, I want my size from the shops I want without the added cost/effort of alteration, and like the bigger girls I'm entitled to my own selfish and irrational feelings.

But good luck with your goals and reaching them safely, you can do it and don't let anything tell you otherwise!

I'm considering to leave lolita. It still makes me happy to look at dresses and I love my wardrobe, but the depression I get from not fitting into it anymore makes me wanna cry. The problem is, I'm actually fine with my body otherwise, I'm really chubby and I even gained a little over the last months, but if it weren't for my dresses not fitting I'd be fine with that. I just can't lose that weight, I try to count calories, but I'm consantly stressed and have to eat ready-made food all the time. I also don't have the time to work out, I get up at 5 am and come home at 7 pm and have a shit ton of work to do. Now that I'm close to finishing my degree I can't seem to find the energy to diet. I literally gave up on myself even though I feel better when I'm dieting (less tummy aches) and I'm already considering to alter my dresses to cater to my fat ass.
I never wanted to admit it, but I guess I'm now a plus-size lolita.

And there's your problem, it's all in your head. Get off tumblr and /cgl/, it's affecting how you perceive actual adults.

I understand how frustrating it is, I'm 5'9" and while I have the measurements to fit into VM, I never will because of my height. 5'4" is on the tall side for lolita so you just have to deal with it and move on (or gain weight because that's something you can actually change).

[Anonymous No.8095745]

My height is 163 cm, bust is 94 cm and waist is 79 cm and weight 69 kg.
I know it's common to gain weight from stress, especially since I'm a stress-eater(?), I sometimes just need some sugar to get down to earth.
My schedule is really busy since I'm working part-time (about 20 hrs a week) and I'm close to finishing my bachelor's degree (which means working for uni a lot at home). The cherry on top is that my uni is in another city, so I'm wasting at least 4,5 - 5 hours just for getting there and back, sometimes I get home at 8 pm if the trains are delayed. The lectures will be over next week, but this only means I will have to work full-time until they start again and have to work on different papers and my thesis after work. Oh and I almost forgot my intern ship I have to go to every week for 2 hours (but again with 5 hours in transit bc same city like uni).
I would love to get a break, but I still have 3 exams this and next week I have to study for after work/uni.

Shipping was 10 bucks domestic if I recall the lacemarket listing correctly. So the dress was 310 without shipping compared to the original of 285 or so. Even with EMS shipping the cost still comes out less and especially so if the buyer was international.

It's a difficult situation. My fiance doesn't like gothic lolita but thinks classic lolita and otome are cute, and since I like all of these styles it's relatively easy to compromise. Plus, even if he's not a fan of something he isn't a douche about it. He's not the one who has to wear it and as long as it makes me happy, he's fine with it.
In your case it seems like compromise isn't an option. You're going to have to evaluate which means more to you, your hobby or your boyfriend. IMO someone who so viciously shits all over something he knows you like is a douchebag and you'd be better off without him, but obviously I don't know anything about your relationship.

Ugh, been there too. He didn't even accept that I had weebish hobbies, I'm so glad he dropped out of college and moved far away. Fucking dick.

Anyway, anon in question, see if you can defend yourself and have a rational heart-to-heart chat about this with him. If he's not going to budge, then maybe it's best to move on without him.

Instead most of western sizes are too large on my bust and shoulders, while AP cutsews fit perfectly for my small bust and shoulders, some could also larger but i never had that issue yet. But my pants are a bit tight on me, i should wear only lolita or cute skirts instead. One day i got also a little dipper blouse thinking it was a S but instead it was more like a M/L!!
In my opinion, some are pissed to not fitting some burando/offbrand because they have a bust too big or they are too fat so they can't even fit the shirred items. I'm not that skinny not chubby but still some lolita items could be large on me.

>I just want to be with my bf and live the bohemian lifestyle with my lolita and his music equipment being the only extravagant things we spend on.
Believe me, that is an awesome lifestyle way satisfying that only get married, having kids and live a boring life with debts to pay, rent, car and so on. I would only spend on some burando sometimes and living in a small apt (or a caravan too, it woudn't be that bad!!) with my bf. But as you, i'm in a LDR and have a small shop online, so i don't earn that much...Also i'm still graduating from university and my degree doesn't help much to find a good paid job (Eurofag here). I find weird to see most people get married even with shitty jobs or no jobs at all and make kids as well. In my opinion, better to settle down if both partners have secure well paid jobs to start a family but i want a more carefree life without the hassle of growing up kids or paying big costs for living.

I feel your feels. I do want children eventually but not until we're financially secure, whereas my fiancé keeps talking about "our kids" like they already exist. I think for us the biggest difference comes from our parents; mine had me when they were in their early 30s and both had stable jobs, whereas his had him when they were 20, still in college, unemployed and dirt poor. He lived the first ten years of his life being shuttled between grandparents and cheap government housing while hardly seeing his father because he was off finishing his education on the other side of the country. To me this sounds like a terrible way to plan your life and something I'd never want to inflict on my children, but I can't really say that without letting on that I think his parents made a really irresponsible life choice. They keep mentioning how they already had two kids when they were our age as if that's something to brag about, or as if we're doing life wrong.

I know that must have been a nasty shock when it sounds like you've been researching and also did not expect his reaction and you like Sweet. I'm sorry to hear it but not surprised.

But as anon said above, many people think this way about Sweet with very young types of prints, even other Lolitas. I'm assuming since you are here you are over 18 and I think some males do have trouble with the idea that the object of their carnal desire might suddenly turn up in what (to the untrained eye) really can resemble frilly baby clothes or children's Easter dresses complete with twee shoes and plastic jewelry.

Lolita fashion itself has earned the nickname 'boner killer' and Sweet is often the president of the Limp Pickle Society.

tbh if I had kids I just know I'd be a terrible mum. I'm incredibly lazy and a little selfish, and sometimes I can be kind of a hypocrite

but seriously, I can barely take care of myself let alone a child. Which is logical, I'm only 21 and poor, and moved out just a few years back so I'm still learning.
I don't know what kind of a piss miserable life women in the past must've had to be married off at 18-20 and pop out child after child, being reduced to nothing and forced to live for those kids.

My grandmother lived that life. Had her first kid at 18, married to a douchebag who insisted on having more children than they could afford because so far they only had daughters and he wanted a son. He ended up dying shortly after the youngest child left the house and my grandmother finally flourished. Now she has an adorable boyfriend her own age and a more active social life than I do since she has so much to make up for. I'm just glad she never came to resent her children, even if I wouldn't have entirely blamed her if she did.

I admit I'm shamefully jealous and bitter. It's just so frustrating to see her do 'well' when I know about the shortcuts she takes. I wish I had the free income she has at her disposal. I guess I just feel like my mission to create really well-finished garments doesn't even matter because as long you have photoshop, photog friends, and people to help you sew/craft, you can make almost any cosplay look good and get mad props for it. I should get a grip and be more mature about the whole thing, but I'm so demotivated and just feel like quitting costuming in general. She's also good friends with everyone in my social so I can't tell anyone and I just dwell on these feelings alone.

LARPfag here. I've been doing it for over a decade, and you would be surprised at the landwales and tublards who can actually sword fight. Especially if they have some ridiculous combo of shield/spear which stretches past your 6'3 arm reach.

Go anyway and immerse yourself. Don't let anyone tag you intentionally because it makes both parties feel shitty. With most LARPs it's experience > athleticism, unless you're running away/kiting for an extended amount of time.
