Here's a good blog that also lists taobao shops in their 'shops' section and also has a DIY section too: http://fairy-tips.tumblr.com/

For more taobao stores, here's the store spreadsheet the taobao threads use, just make sure you click on the 'other j-fashion's' tab at the bottom: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DBqv6dQIQAgVnBozcElII1vITU0F7R9yBc2-nsX-c1c/edit#gid=884925387

Have you thought about going for a more spank! look? Ditch the rainbow pettiskirts and throw in some black here and there to tone down the pastel (I'm not talking about going pastel goth).

Teased twintails could work, or putting up two smaller twintails and keeping the rest of your hair down. Wigs aren't a bad option either, even natural colored ones. I'm sorry this isn't very helpful. I have fine hair too but lots of it myself.

Seconding teased twintails. I suggest doing what some scene kids do, and that's combing pack to create small knots in your hair at the base so that it adds more volume. It's obviously troublesome, but it can really look nice. I also suggest looking up Kawaii Pateen's videos- they have several ones focused on cute hair styles.

Bethdesu is super attention whorey tbh, she is either crying that she is not like, a shopgirl for cck/more popular, or plugging the same picture/video/ social media link over and over AND OVER for more reblogs/followers. She doesn't really do fairy kei anymore either, so she isn't really worth following for that anyway.

Mio was lovely but she quit, same with anywigwilldo. But if you type fairy kei into tumblr search you will find plenty.

[Anonymous No.8311631]

>>8311592
unfortunately for me, fairy kei blogs that come up tend to just spam accessory photos or inspiration stuff with the cutesy feel, but are not active participants in the fashion. There's hardly any people with semi-quality OOTD posts for fairy kei, despite how many people know about the fashion.

There are cheaper options to skirts in fairy kei that aren't short short or pettiskirts and confortable?I found many dresses at To Alice but about skirts there are few and due to my IBS condition i can't stand tight elastic skirts. Only lolita burando do soft elasticated skirts for fairy like AP. I'm a thin pear shape but mini skirts with no tights look too sexy with my legs that are a bit curvy and during summer it's impossible to wear tights with humidity. I would consider Kokokim but first hand is a bit expensive and i can't find any item second hand. Spank or Nile Perch isn't my cup of tea, too cheap looking, i like more polished cuts and looks.

reviews and package openings that are in-depth about the product not "omg teehee i bet this will look so cute on me!!!! im so cute guys!!!"

something i like is some blog writers match up their posts with youtube videos, so their blog goes more in-depth while their video is a bit lighter. Basic intro videos, make up tutorials and Q&A would be nice too.

taobao and bodyline are good. Most people recommend thrift stores, but honestly, don't go until you have a good set of basics and are well informed about the fashion. if you have a shopping service, you can buy straight from milklim, 6%dokidoki, kokokim, etc.

Not sure which "she" you are talking about so:

Bethdesu: freaky ass hime(??) style with super scary eyes and wasian makeup that looks terrifying. Think, hime blow up doll.

Mio: kiiinda just... boring. Muted colors, ugly clothes, only looks good if photographed in black/white.

Anywigwilldo: I don't even know anymore, I think she just wants to live in Hyrule.

>>8314063
I actually think anywigwilldo is really cute and has a lot of potential to be a youtuber if she could figure out what her niche is. I loved her old fairy kei vids too but now she is a confusing mishmash. She has been on a major "I love zelda games/I wanna be a faerie" kick lately, hence the Hyrule statement. Her body paining is pretty cool though.

Just thought I'd go ahead and recommend ManiaQ for their pettis/tutus, as they're all cute and only 1,000 to 1,200 yen each. They also do international shipping and EMS is so cheap. I payed only 1680 yen for EMS for 4 items.

Is lolita and all these other fashions i.e fairy kei concidered "weird" in japan as they are in the united states? or it is normal over there

i mean weird like when old people see emo kids or mall goths with tattoos and piercings

[Anonymous No.8317482]

>>8317463
they're all considered very weird. japan is big on conformity but clothes are the soul form of expression for many people. it's considered actually negative by many people, regardless of your age since there isn't really an aspect of 'growing out' phases etc. since even japanese youth are expected to be very conformist and obedient. that's why you see girls in their late 20s still dressing how they like because everyone is treated the same.

it's actually possible to be fired from your job for dressing in strange jfash in your personal time.

some subcultures such as idol, gyaru and lolita have 'safe areas' where accepting peers and businesses exist that don't judge you, but many normal places will turn away people in jfash.

get used to the fact that this kind of style is out of the usual. no matter how much you really tone it down, you WILL stand out since there are little to no element that link with current fashion.
however, once you stop caring what others think you'll also stop noticing all the comments people may or may not make.

[Anonymous No.8320374]

>>8320348
>>8317463

It is just as weird in Japan as it is elsewhere.

The way my native Japanese friend said it is you rarely see someone dressed like this alone in the wild, even in Japan if they are dying their hair red they are dying it red together. For all of the "individuality" you see it is really "pack" mentality, if that makes sense. They agree to do it together, very rarely alone.

[Anonymous No.8320399]

>>8319973
>>8320068

If it's any consolation, you will always be given the 'polite foreigner nod' in Japan, so if you want to dress weird too, they will only get more polite. Many gaijins mistake this as acceptance when it is everything but - they think you are crazy - but hey, ignorance is bliss. You will probably be really happy if you are already so naive.

But then you are just an embarrassing blight to your native country.
