Lolita general

[Anonymous No.8317124]

Welcome to the new lolita shit general.

Old thread in autosage >>8311310

This is the containment thread for all your questions, drama, and general faggotry.

Talk about your new coords, how much brand you have, how shitty other people's coords are.

elitism talks, how ita your comm is because they don't wear the most popular brand

complain and bitch about how you can't afford your dreamdress because you are a massive poorfag, or how hard you have to work to afford that Angelic Pretty bag.

Lets get this started fags.

If I want the most poof that doesn't deflate quickly should I buy the bigger Classical Puppets ones or Malco Modes or something else entirely?

Does anyone know stores that will custom make a short (<40cm) petticoat that's still very poofy?

[Anonymous No.8317153]

>>8317133
>Classical Puppets
mine isn't as poofy as I would like

[Anonymous No.8317175]

>>8317153
Which one do you have? I currently only have the regular A-line and would buy the A-line poof monster.

[Anonymous No.8317195]

>>8317133
what is the general consensus on classical puppets *now*? because I've heard more and more stories lately about how the quality has declined and so pettis from a few years ago are much different than the newer ones coming out.

anyways, to answer your question, bunnyhouse is the latest petti that's been getting a lot of buzz. there's 3 different levels of poof you can choose (I think M, L, XL) and they just custom make it to whatever measurements you want, including length.

[Anonymous No.8317208]

>>8317195
Well if this is medium, I don't want to see XL.

[Anonymous No.8317211]

>>8317175

[Anonymous No.8317221]

>>8317133
If you do buy CP, but their massively poofy ones. I have the daily poof I bought about a year ago, and it has gone down quite a bit from just a few wears.

[Anonymous No.8317241]

>>8317195
Not that anon, but Bunny House only do bell-shaped and I want a big and a medium A-line. Thinking of asking MeLikesTea but open to other recommendations.

[Anonymous No.8317246]

Well fuck, no Classical Puppets then. But Bunnyhouse doesn't seem to be offering any A-lines.

[Anonymous No.8317249]

>>8317195
I got my Classical Puppets cupcake petticoat last summer and it definitely doesn't live up to the hype. I have to layer another petticoat under it to get good poof for sweet.

[Anonymous No.8317257]

>>8317208
It's quite an awkward shape though and that lampshade effect makes me cringe.

[Anonymous No.8317278]

>>8317257
Yeah I think the way the girl is wearing it might not do the petti justice.

[Anonymous No.8317282]

>>8317257
>>8317278
It's too high up. You can see where it flairs out midway up the skirt so it's not even a matter of the length but it's causing the rest of the dress to hang down limp.

[Anonymous No.8317289]

>>8317208
That's weird. I don't know if it's because of the dress that girl is wearing or what. (some dresses just don't look good with a lot of poof or maybe that dress needs an a-line instead? idk, some dresses are deceiving and are a-line instead of bell even though they look like they should be bell)

this girl reviews the XL on 2 dressed, one with light material and one with heavy and it doesn't look as strange as it does there. (though I suppose on the lighter dress it does look a little lampshady)
(jfc why does 4chan think blogspot posts are spam? from the blog wisdom-grace url /2014/11/bunny-house-super-large-xl-petticoat)

and this girl reviews both medium and XL. again, may look a little lampshady but I dont think it looks as bizarre as that photo

[Anonymous No.8317366]

I own a large Bunny House petticoat and it's perfect for my AP Victorian Letter JSK and my chiffon IW dress. I don't really know how it works because the Victorian Letter skirt seems so much heavier but I'm not complaining. I have a Malco Modes 582 for most of my A line skirts and a Snow Field Maximum Puff for empire waist skirts (it deflated after a few wears, which is why I got the 582). Snow Field is gone now, but I think MM has another model that would be good for softer poof and may also be cheaper. Some people complain that MM petticoats have the wrong shape because they're squaredancing ones, but literally all you have to do is flip it inside out.

favorite/least favorite wigs you've seen worn with sweet?
i'm more classic/country but really want to do a sweet coord and idk what style of wig to wear with it that won't make me look like an ita

[Anonymous No.8317438]

>>8317395
ugh no pastel wigs pls
99.99% of them look ita, even with a beautiful coord.

Light browns and ash blondes are my favourite to wear for sweet, even when ott

[Anonymous No.8317446]

>>8317438

also to elaborate
i think plainer wigs are better for sweet
it lets your dress do the talking, you get me?
pastel/bright wigs just make it look clowny imo. Too much to look at, at once

[Anonymous No.8317456]

Do you think it would be worth it to create petition/group type things were girls could get together and email the brand about a specific re-release they would like to see?

[Anonymous No.8317459]

>>8317395
cotton candy colored twin tails. just stay far away if you are unsure of yourself in sweet/not too confident with it yet. twin tails are not to be inherently avoided but the unnatural colored twin tails have fallen out of style at this point/only look good with particular coords.

what is your hair like? you could just go natural as long as it's styled cutely/as the appropriate amount of volume (not too flat and limp). otherwise I suppose it just depends. in general you might just want to find a wig in your hair color or a natural color that's voluminous. could be curly/wavy. I don't think the hairstyles are that much different from country/classic save for maybe there's less elegant type stuff or actual hairdos, instead maybe more flowy voluminous stuff?

[Anonymous No.8317461]

>>8317446
>>8317438
That's your opinion, though.

>>8317395
I like pastel wigs with sweet, and they're pretty much mandatory in OTT sweet.
Don't wear that... long curly wig with the curly pigtail clipons, if you want to avoid looking ita. Otherwise just color-match your coord or go natural. Soft blondes and browns look best in sweet, if you're doing natural.

[Anonymous No.8317485]

>>8317395
also split coloured wigs
some of them look okay depending on the coord, but the majority of them are kind of weird looking.

I for one really dislike the split blonde/black wigs, especially if the blonde is yellow and brassy
each to their own, but it just cheapens the look for me

I actually think cotton candy twin tails can look great, and they're good in OTT sweet, but definitely something to be careful about and avoid in other styles. My least favourite style is split wigs.

It would be nice to see if they could do them in different cuts

You can do pigtails with long hair, they're just thinner.
Unfortunately every weeb did that after Death Note came out, so it looks ita/weeby.

>>8317517
....thats what I mean by,
>(there isn't all that extra hair)

perhaps it wasn't clear but yes I agree you can do that style with your own hair, leaving some hair down and pulling the rest of it up into pigtails, but it's not as voluminous with bucketloads of curly hair spilling out

I want to order a bunny house petticoat, but I'm not sure what the length should be- should I just measure the skirt length of my dresses and subtract an inch or two?
I'm also undecided on size, I like big poof but I don't want to look crazy. >>8317289 these reviews make XL look pretty reasonable.

It really depends where you want to wear your petti (which depends on the dress and personal taste). I've found a lot of my pettis to be too long if I want to wear the petti lower than waist, around hip level. And I often want to do that to keep the waist slimmer and have less pressure on the stomach.

The fit on AP cardigans is pretty roomy IMO, though I can't speak for their cutsew cardigans as I only own their knit ones. Stay away from Baby cardigans if you're a bigger girl, some of my slightly bustier friends have said the arms on them can be tight and they can be tough to button up.

Yeah, their dresses don't seem to be very good quality in either design or make, and the proportions throw me off as well.

some of the prints are definitely nice, I can get behind nice floral shit cause I'm a sucker for flowers no matter what, but some of the design elements are just very off to me.

[Anonymous No.8318649]

>>8318643
Their dresses are actually a set of a corset and a shirred tea length skirt, if I remember right from the reservations etc I've seen before. So since it's a full bodice corset it goes very long on the torso and the skirt is worn underneath.

I usually wear them at my natural waist- if I try to put it any lower it will probably just ride up there anyhow since my waist is a lot smaller than my hips. I think it also makes the cupcake shape better.

Maybe better suited to a feels or rant thread, but I think that girls who say they're too afraid of being judged to even start dressing in lolita are full of shit. I don't think any of these girls ever have any intent on being lolitas. They just want to preemptively victimize themselves for attention.
Most of them are disgusting closet crossplayer weeaboos which is why I don't buy for a second they fear being judged.

extending an invite is nice, but if you're worried be polite about it, make sure they know you're not requiring gifts and stuff and you'll be fine. I actually became friends with a lolita at her birthday meetup, i brought her a small trinket and we became fast friends after that.

I started lolita at a much older age. I was very nervous starting out because I lurked here. I knew about lolita drama. There is this ongoing belief that lolitas are catty and bitchy and you will get torn down for not owning brand or wearing it right. I didn't try to go around saying "woe is me, lolitas are mean." but I definitely felt like I was expecting to be judged. I started as a fat replica-chan coming from the con-scene, so I've been around lolitas, I've heard stories from friends who are into it. As an afterthought, I feel like it is blown out of proportion to a degree. For what it's worth I wear all brand and indie and take lolita seriously, coord pretty decently to well, even if I don't wear it much. I try to teach people that this stigma isn't as bad as it seems, but it definitely exists. It can be overwhelming to people with very low self-confidence, have anxiety or social anxiety, or are young. But it's definitely not exclusive to young people.

[Anonymous No.8320273]

>>8320244
I just posted in the Jfash in public thread about an extremely similar topic. I'm really shy, and really sensitive. I'm also a private person. The fear of being judged and treated in a mean way isn't exclusive to young kids at all.

If I was harassed enough, especially by other lolitas, I would stop wearing Lolita in public. I was bullied as a kid and don't need to be bullied as an adult too, I can do better things with my time. If I didn't really love the clothes and want to really wear the fashion, why in the world would I even attempt wearing them in the first place when they aren't comfortable and they have a high risk of giving me unwanted attention?

The belief that the community is toxic is very true, but most people in the fashion will not harass somebody, especially to their face. But I also think that if you stay out of the community you have little or nothing to worry about in the lines of drama. I personally am not involved with the community at all (I'm actually only here because I come around once in a blue moon to lurk the room and mori threads for inspo) and that alone almost completely gets rid of my fear, so I think the people who are afraid should just not get involved with the community very much. They can still enjoy the clothes but won't have the fear of judgment.

There's no particular reason for you to spend it all in one place, right? Since Bodyline still has free shipping, your best bet is to split your order. Get your shoes from Bodyline, that takes care of the shipping fees for the bulkiest item.

Then, for blouses and socks, instead of looking at lolita-specific stores, look for "lace blouse" or "chiffon blouse" on taobao. You'll have to dig a little, but many of them work pretty well for wearing with lolita. Be wary of pinks though, many of them end up peach rather than cool pink. For legwear, try searching "socks" or "stockings" + the motif or colour you're looking for. Keep your order to only one or two shops since shipping within China eats up like 3-5 bucks for every shop you order from. Choose a shopping service that has cheaper shipping options -- airmail is usually trackable and cheaper than EMS.

You're not going to end up with girlonsunday/jahrhundert - levels of loot, but if you just want a pair of shoes, couple of blouses and socks, it's doable.

Get shoes from Bodyline then socks and blouses from Taobao (MuFish are good for socks). Shipping will cost you a fortune if you get shoes from Taobao. I'd still say you need a lot more money for haul though - I always spend £400-500 per Taobao order, that's getting mostly main pieces though.

Nope.
The marker wears off, also the gold pens are more of a metallic gold. You wouldn't be able to pass it off as being a legit gold CDC ring.

If you're desperate and have the time, get a gold leaf kit. They're like $10 on Amazon and will provide a better result. I don't know how much of the detail of the ring will be preserved, though.

I ordered the full version. I haven't worn it out of the house, but all my fittings prove it can handle a bit of weight, so might be perfect for the heavier skirts or layering. I wouldn't wear it with just a light chiffon skirt over it, at least not without putting an invisible slip/underskirt to soften the cage's look. I still need to try it with a bell-shaped garment, but it looked and felt wonderful over the broad A-line. To ensure a bell- shape, I wonder if a light padding could be worn to change it? Anyway, this cage petticoat is definitely for full poof. There is no gapping I can find. Does this review help?

What kind of petticoats would you recommend for A-line Innocent World "short length" pieces? I've only bought Classical Puppets for cupcake shapes before and am thinking their a-lines would be too overkill for this brand.
I'm thinking of just buying an IW brand petticoat to match, but am unsure of which one. Are all their petticoats and panniers standard IW "short" length unless they say otherwise? Or do some of them peek out a bit underneath? The one on the left looks like one of these.

Noob question, but I just bought a pair of the shoes in pic related (Vivenne Westwood x Melissa) and I want to use them for lolita. Any ideas what colours and styles would look good with them? I've seen a lot of girls look cute wearing them with sweet but I much prefer gothic and classic. I'm thinking dark wine red, gold and white would look decent but I can't coord for shit. Looking for any inspiration really.

They have a lot more of a pearlescent quality irl and less of that weird plasticky opaque white look

[Anonymous No.8324697]

>>8324661
I say avoid classic, go gothic. The shiny quality can work okay in gothic coords, but can look too jarring in classic.

How about some homage to oldschool black and white gothic lolita, especially since it's Vivienne Westwood? Easy to coord, hard to screw up on, so long as you get a decent main piece.

[Anonymous No.8324781]

>>8317246
Classical Puppets has been fine for me.
I have their explosive bell from a year and half/two years ago, and it's fucking amazing. Never deflates, provides perfect amount of poof for my AP dresses, etc.
I also bought their daily A-line last year (like August) because I needed a softer/everyday petticoat, which is exactly what it is. If you want a lot of poof, go for their massively poofy ones; if you want more subtle poof, go for the daily.
I haven't had any issues with quality, but CP can be a bit slow to send shit out. Also, make sure you get sent the right petticoat; a girl in the group order I organized got sent the smaller bell when she wanted the massive one. Not sure if it was an issue with our SS or CP.

Little review on Bunny House. I got the large and I love it. I think is definitely worth the price (45 with the shipping) and so far it has not deflated.

[Anonymous No.8324875]

>>8324813
I said literally nothing about it not working for classic altogether. The shiny quality just might not work in every classic coord and would be easier in something gothic. I agree it'd work for all those colors too.

Also, I never said anything about the maturity of it? Vivienne Westwood is pretty accepted in lolita so I don't actually know where you've been.

I don't know, that sounds an awful lot like what you said. But if it's not what you meant, carry on. And as for the shininess, since white is the color least likely to show that quality so obviously, I don't think that's even such a problem in this case.

Okay, so I've been trying to find nice blouses that match Infanta's white. I would prefer something with a small Peter Pan collar over a large one, and short or 3/4 sleeves.
