Okay, granted I'm old and slightly out of touch with current trends, but is this really what lolita looks like nowadays? To me it looks like weebtastic cosplay nonsense that we used to kick out of egl for not being lolita enough.

It really is. Makes me laugh seeing how many people are scalping it too. Must suck not realizing how ugly it is until you bought it already.

>feel the same about shadow dream carnival, all the cuts are bad except the op and in 90% of the pics I've seen the center bows are crooked.

I have no idea. The rest of her "sales" stuff is equally questionable though. It's really saying something if the skirt won't even cover the petticoat.

What surprised me is that she posted this on egl_comm_sales, not some mixed forum. She actually has good feedback (mostly for accessories though), and named her brand as Miss Candyholic, which makes it look like she's trying to market these as lolita.

It's a vessel for some chronically-asspained anon to spew bile, which will eventually get boring for them and then the blog will be forgotten. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later, it's a very dull blog and I'm tired of its posts shitting up the lolita tags.

So I received my order from Closetchild and one of the buttons from my dress is missing. I double-checked the site photos and it's definitely present there, and I know CC tends to be pretty on top of recording damages. The dress was wrapped nearly in plastic in the box, and the box didn't look tampered with, but the strings that held the button are still hanging out, maybe it got ripped off during packaging? The button should be pretty replaceable I think, but I'm still kind of bummed. Should I contact them about it?

Wow. I actually don't know what to say to that. So this is a "brand"?

I think this is a classic remember a lot of "kawaii" trash rides lolita's coattails because honestly it's the most popular of harajuku type fashions overseas. I've seen fairy kei, cutesy t-shirts and all sorts of unrelated things in lolita sales before.

I almost cheated on my boyfriend with a guy in my comm. The guy is an old friend of mine.

He was in my house and we were dressing up for a meet up. We were in my room getting ready. He got naked in front of me. I didn't freak out about it because I have seen him naked plenty of times before. I just never seen him naked while I was dating a guy. I removed my clothes too, but kept my underwear on as I was changing. He has seen me naked before too, but it didn't feel right to show him my breasts at the time so when I did take off my bra I was facing away from him. Nothing intimate happened. We got dressed . Helped each other with make up and made sure we looked okay. We did some selfies together and jokingly did a lesbian picture. For the picture I was going to kiss him on the cheek, but at the last second he thought he was going to be the one doing the joke kiss on my cheek. We ended up almost kissing each other on the lips, but we were quick enough to back off from each other before our lips touched.

Anyone with streaks of unnatural colour in their hair has always been called "edgy" or a "special snowflake". Any well-known Lolitas that have unnatural coloured hair only get away with it if it matches what they're wearing. Why do people have double standards?

Because well-known lolitas generally know what they're doing with the rest of their outfit, whereas with most edgy-chans it's the entire outfit plus the unfitting hair that's wrong. Fix the hair or another part and the outfit will begin to look better, so that's why it's critiqued as well.

Oh I bought a pair of these in black. I'm more of 255, but I heard these run slightly large, so I bought them in 250 and they fit just fine, but fair warning I also fit into BL 250 pretty okay in other shoes (though it's a snug fit). That said I still do agree these shoes are slightly larger that usual since they felt comfortable and like a 255 for me. I think it would be fine if your ordered your usual size or smaller - if you order your regular size and its a tad too big you can always get insoles, stuff the toebox, etc.

I just received a dress from AP SanFran and I have a sneaking suspicion it's been worn before? The waist ties are tied into a bow. The safety pinned accessory detail was unhooked and almost falling off. And the dress smells like secondhand? Like it doesn't reek or anything, but it smells faintly like someone rather than that slightly chemical clean smell new dresses are supposed to smell like.

It's all wrapped in plastic with the new tag and such, no real damage or anything. Am I being paranoid or is it common for them to sell tried on new releases? I've always ordered from AP Japan and I've NEVER had my waist ties tied.

If nothing intimate happened, and if no actual feelings were involved, it's not cheating.
But if your boyfriend is the type who would consider that cheating, maybe you shouldn't be naked in front of another boy from now on, or dump your boyfriend.

They're casual dresses, but they're not casual lolita dresses. They will not be able to hold your butt, let alone your petti because they're too damn short. They would be nice for going out, but not to meets unless you want to be judged by everyone else.

might not be bad for maybe a lolita-inspired normal outfit either but not really gonna work well for lolita because they're so short and the skirts don't seem to be full enough.

If you're trying to look for lolita dresses that can be worn casually and can transition better into normalfag wear, certain skirts will work and certain cuts of OP's will work too - mostly thinking about those chiffon long sleeve dresses AP puts out. It would also be worth checking out things from otome brands as well.

off the top of my head I don't know of anywhere affordable/inexpensive, you may just want to put a WTB up somewhere asking for dresses that can be worn casually within whatever your price range is. I would say when looking for dresses its mostly in the cut, but the print will affect how casual you can get with it too. I find simple all-over prints tend to lend themselves better to casual wearing. again I would suggest looking into otome as it's kinda related to casual lolita in terms of aesthetic but a little more relaxed about certain things. otome brands will have dresses that you can use in lolita as well, but not every dress will work - some may not fit a petti, some prints will be too busy, certain cuts will look odd, etc. if you dont know, a few brands are emily temple cute, milk, and jane marple.

Do a taobao order anyway. If you're already okay with paying reseller fees, why not just pay the shopping service/shipping fee?

>>8327654

To Alice carries some lolita dresses, they've even helpfully put all the lolita dresses into one category for you:
http://tomybear.taobao.com/category-971413309.htm?spm=2013.1.w4010-8023226192.29.LXdppJ&search=y&catName=LOLITA

Other than that, Miss Point Akane & Alois and Innocent World are good places to find toned down dresses. If you want to stick to taobao, you can try the website www.shellolita.com, the site keeps up with various taobao releases, so you can go through the pages until you find something you like, then check which shop it's from and find the taobao to see if it's still available.

I'd be wary of going otome, some anons have said that even if the skirt looks wide enough, the lining in some of them won't accommodate a petticoat. I'm not really sure that otome doesn't look out of place in a lolita meet.

Maybe someone can help me with this credit card problem.

I just got a new job that pays a lot, so I've been treating myself to a lot of burando. I wasn't paying attention to one of my credit card balances though. I just bought like $500 worth of stuff from Mary Magdalene and I just realized I have like $400 left on the credit card I picked. Paypal already let the payment go through and it's sitting as pending on paypal and my credit card. PP won't let me cancel the payment or choose a different credit card... which really blows because I have tons of money left over on other cards. I just picked the wrong one.

I immediately made a payment to my credit card for $800, hoping it goes through before the paypal MM payment. I called paypal. They said they've never seen a payment get rejected after it's already been approved and pending, so I shouldn't worry about it. So I called my credit card company. The guy who got my call didn't really make any sense, but he told me not to worry about it and it will be fine because he sees the MM payment and the $800 payment are both pending. This doesn't make sense to me because shouldn't the MM payment go through before my credit card payment, thus making me go over?

I also e-mailed MM about this and asked them to immediately bill me again if the card rejects. I've never bought from them before, so I don't really know how forgiving they are with these things.

I guess I'm freaked out because I've never gone over my limit before. I just got a bit spend happy.

Who else is absolutely not feeling this sweet-classic phase from AP? I get they're trying to keep their sweet audience, but I'd rather see them stick to their roots and pull an "otona kawaii" sweet look than force classic into everything. I think ETC is a good example of a more relaxed, adult looking sweet style brand.

If anyone knows her, could someone please send her a message to seriously close up shop? It somehow wasn't hard to stumble upon MintyMix a long time ago looking for the old split wigs. Her products look quality and some are even "still in stock" somehow. I nearly bought one at the time, then realized there'd been no updates in almost 8 months on her Facebook or Twitter.

It's 2015 and her spam-filled Facebook and Twitter are still sitting there with updates in 2012. If she's not answering e-mails, I don't want girls getting nothing or having to do a needless PayPal dispute over a dead site.

LOL. AP's always done floral dresses, usually with too much lace, ruffles, bows, sometimes with pearl chains and other stuff. Very much like the OP here.

AP coorded it that way in one of their blogs, but it seems like the jsk collar is rather narrow so the turtleneck collar would still be visible.

I could try it with a white turtleneck with a really narrow collar (assuming I find one), but I think it's still going to be obvious that there's a second collar under the fold down collar. Would that be weird?

Credit cards allow you to go over by a certain amount, depending on your limit. Usually like $150. If it went through it's obviously going to be fine. I don't know why you're even asking 4chan when both Paypal and your bank told you it's fine.

I'm trying to avoid that, actually. There's studs on the neckline (just flat metal ones), the combination with sheer lace blouse seems bit too edgy for my style.

Besides, the biggest issue with turtlenecks is that the collar is still visible behind the jsk's fold down collar, doesn't it look weird to have two collars on one dress?

>Conveniently leaves out all their sweet-classic ones

AP is still AP, dumbass. Of course they'll still do teeth-rotting sweet.

That's actually why their sweet-classics have been so out of place lately. I don't hate them, but I don't know why they feel such a need to do them and it looks like most people feel similar. I would say most of the sweet prints you listed were a success. Belle Epoque Rose wasn't as successful and Salon de the Rose is sweet with a bit an obvious classic hint to it. Both of these are still in stock online for OPs. (See pic) I think this will just be another awkward forced classic theme that will sit there. I hope they learn from this.

if you want that specific dress, search Mary Magdalene secondhand (you might have to dig a bit). if you feel like other classic brands are okay too, look at Innocent World. If you don't want to spend brand prices, try searching for classic brands on Taobao or through a taobao reseller like Qutieland or Clobbaonline.

There would be a gap of skin between the jsk collar and the blouse collar.

You know what, I think I could try looking for a non-burando blouse that's a turtleneck, not lacey, and then modify it by removing the collar. I could probably face the neckline so that it holds its shape, heck, at a pinch I'll sew the blouse to the collar itself so it doesn't gape or whatever.

Thanks for all the help, you guys are awesome.

I don't think you know the difference between sweet and classic. "Florals" don't automatically make a dress "classic", especially when it comes in pastels, especially when it comes in an OTT frilly princess dress.

If you want to point to "pieces with an obvious classic influence", why not try Lucky Key or Celestial. Both are in darker colours and feature themes not common in sweet. Both also sold out. I don't see why AP would stop then, since both of their actually classic-influenced pieces sold out.

If anything, I'd see their attachment to roses the same as their doing three berry releases this year, Eternal Rose and Drained Cherry both sold out surprisingly fast upon initial release, but their re-releases (Drained Cherry and Dramatic Rose) didn't do so well. It seems like they're repeating the motifs but with new artwork in hopes of getting repeat sales from customers who like berries and customers who like roses.

>I don't think you know the difference between sweet and classic.

Why do you not understand the nature of it being both? Why does this have to be classic florals or sweet florals? Look at the OP's of both Epoque and Salon. It's blatantly classic influenced with some sweet. It's sweet-classic. Florals aren't default sweet, but this new one is obviously sweet-classic. Those rose colors, regardless of any color way, are pretty toned down.

Lucky Key doesn't strike me as straight up classical, more a mix with that and the otome influence they like to do every now and then. I actually laughed at Celestial being classical influence. What is gothic? Since when are giant crosses a classic theme? That print is more sweet with some gothic.

But tl;dr I think we might just be mincing things now. Yes, AP will always be sweet, but you can't ignore an entire wave of change in the fashion from the OTT sweet to more sweet-classic that's been acknowledged by nearly everyone.

What do you think about both releases looks classic?

It's not about the dress, you come across as the kind of noob who goes around posting about how much you hate sweet, when in fact your entire tumblr is probably btssb rufflemonsters being tagged as "classic lolita".

I decided to ask because the guy on Paypal was like, "Well I haven't seen a pending payment get rejected, so it should be OK." But he didn't really know.

And then the guy from my credit card didn't explain it well at all. It was obvious English was his second language and he didn't seem to completely grasp the issue at first. Him just saying it will be ok and not giving me an explanation doesn't really instill confidence in me.

Why? I make enough money, so the issue isn't that I spent myself into the negative or anything. I just made a mistake in using my card. I usually only use one card and I didn't realize the balance had gotten that high on it. Had I caught that, I could have easily used a different card with no balance on it.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be so worried now if you'd kept better track of it. Plus, now I'm wondering if you'd forgotten some other small purchase on that card. Do you really want to repeat this drama every month?

The other reason is, credit cards are normally x times the borrower's salary, so for someone to max out their credit cards normally means they have to work a few months to pay it back, during which time they rack up interest. I get that you just got a high-paying job and have several credit cards, but there's no need to piss away that high salary by being sloppy with your own finances. Get a grip and keep better track of things so you don't end up paying a high interest rate on a purchase you forgot or whatever, and make sure you put some money away for your rainy days.

Of course, it's your money, your card and your dress. I guess I might come across as not very polite, but the comments don't come from spite. I just think you should take better care of your money for your own wellbeing, is all. Hope you aren't offended by it.

Different anon but you're really obviously new and don't know what you're on about. Crosses are actually common in classic, especially Victorian Maiden and JetJ's older releases. AP has never been classic inspired and have the same feel they pretty much always have. Princess sleeves and ruffles with big cupcake skirts are just fancier sweet dresses.

You're the one who said you were tired of AP's classic-sweet "wave". When I pointed out that recent releases are all pastel sweet then your reply is "of course they're sweet, it's AP".

Then you said Belle Epoque and Salon de the Rose are have obvious classic influences. So I'm posting pics to show you that no, of all the releases you could have picked, those two are exactly in the tradition of old AP, there is nothing "new wave classic" for you to "get tired of". How have you been into lolita with all your burando and not realise that Salon de the Rose is a rework of Memorial Cake?

Again, you're the one that's running your mouth off ignorantly. You started off asking if we were tired of "AP classic-sweet" when we're right in the middle of wave after wave of sweet. You said two rose-themed dresses were "classically influenced" but cannot say why, whereas I've been posting photo after photo to show you how similar those two "classically influenced" dresses are to their older releases, canonically accepted as being sweet.

So which is it now, Belle Epoque, Salon de the Rose, Eternal Rose and Memorial Cake are all classic-sweet and AP has been into classic-sweet since 2011, making "this recent wave" at least four years long, or you were wrong about which dresses were classic and which ones sweet?

Eh, F+F is like the Bodyline of China, it used to be a costume shop, and some of the items are still pretty iffy in terms of quality.

If you can into taobao, I'd suggest finding a list of lolita shops on taobao and looking through them until you find one that you like (hellolace has a list in their taobao section, although it's a bit outdated). If you don't want to deal with shopping services, try clobba's site (clobbaonline.com), it's a reputable reseller for taobao brands. Just stay away from Dream of Lolita, everything else will be fine.

F+F can be a bit costume-y with their coords. The dress on the left is a chemise. I have it in white and I use it as an undergarment for JSKs. I don't like wearing it as a dress.

It may be better to try Taobao brands like Infanta rather than F+F. The pieces are affordable and nice quality for the price.

You first since you're so much more knowledgeable than me, samefag. My whole point, since you're so autistic, is that things can vary. Florals can be sweet, florals can be classic, it can be sweet-classic. JetJ has done some gothic prints. The brands might be sweet and classic, but they do not always make sweet and classic.

>Crosses can be classic wahhh

Never said they couldn't be. If it helps you being so endlessly anal, it varies per print. I don't get why you're so thick and can't get this.

It is true that F+F is the Bodyline of Japan. But, I've been buying from them for years, and generally it just takes some attention to detail.

The first dress isn't one I've owned, but with my experience with their work this would not be a good dress for anything other than an underdress.

The second dress is one of my favorites, although I think when I order another I will ask for the smooth cotton. It is broadcloth, so it isn't something of high quality. But, I really like it for summer wear, or when the weather just starts to turn.

The key to F+F is to always get custom or a little bigger with the intention of going to a seamstress.

And always tell them exactly the length you require. I.e. The length of the dress from shoulder to natural waist, then natural waist to length.

Their stuff would mostly be Ita if it was used for the main items, but a good place to start with for minimal basics.

I do not recommend their blouses.

On the topic of halter dresses, why do people insist on wearing a blouse with them? It always looks frumpy to me. I can understand the look behind a regular strap dress with a shirt under, but halters are supposed to expose your shoulders/back. Putting a blouse under it makes it look weird.

A jester? If you have things with checked patterns you could use that, or those circus prints

Or even go with a solid color peice and accent it with other colors. If you're crafty, make a cool jester hat like the venetian ones. You can carry around one of those little jester scepter things.

I think it would be REALLY COOL to go this route if possible.

If you have some musical themed prints you can always go for a bard or something like that.

You could do a herald too. Maybe buy a small plastic/toy trumpet and decorate it and carry it around.

Cute, but not something i would buy.
By the way, i will ask a question. Are burando skirts confortable in the waist? I have issues to bear the elastics in my skin if they are too hard or tight. The AP skirts i have are confortable but dropped waist and i don't have any normal waisted skirt. My waist is 71 cm but most burando is only 72-73 cm from lolibrary.

Boob loaf can happen to even someone with normal to small sized boobs. It generally happens when you're wearing a bad bra, or forcing something to fit your bust, but instead just flattening boobs.

My friend has a big chest but with a good, well-fitted bra can fit most brand.

TLDR; Boob loaf is forcing boobs to fit to the point where they're flattened, big boobs can fit with good underwear and the right dress/shirring/lacing

Most 'big boob' problems are just 'i'm wearing the wrong sized bra' problems.

Seriously, bra ignorance is a horrible thing. Up until last year I was wearing a bra 2 cups and 2 band sizes too small, ever since I switched people have been saying how huge my boobs look, just because they're not being smooshed in the bra.

It's not really just that. It's also due to the bodice not being cut or designed for a cup size larger than a B. The back shirring may allow for some accommodation, but only horizontally, thus morphing the boobs into a flat mass. The larger your bust is, the lower the fullest part is going to sit in the bodice, rather than where it's designed. There are ways that you can get around this, a proper bra can help, adjusting straps on the dress if possible to a lower position can help, wearing a corset to push them upwards in the bodice, and if it's something you want to do, weight loss can help with it but may not entirely alleviate it if you are genetically destined for giant knockers.

You always want to be a few cms below the max measurement. If it's something with shirring, you're probably safe as there's at least 4 inches in partial, and several more in full back. If there is no shirring, it's going to be a snug fit if you are even able to get it zipped at all. Also keep in mind that it's not just the bust, but frame, torso length/width, and shoulders that can play into how something fits.

>>8329308
It depends. Different brands come up with their measurements differently. Some are flat measurements/measurements of the actual garment and some are "people of this size will fit". It's best to ask if you're cutting it a little close and the dress is unshirred.

I'm running a lolita event at a convention and holding a raffle. There are some guys in attendance, some of which are dates, just going alone and may or may not be directly involved in the fashion. I wanted to have a reasonable prize available just for the guys coming, but I'm unsure of what to buy or make. I've gotten a few suggestions. It should be within about a $10-20 budget as most of the prizes I've found are within that general area.

$400 is still a lot for leather boots when the quality is low, and it sounds like the last release of the strap boots from JM was pretty low quality. Sucks, I would've bought them. I guess I'll pick up those cheap target ones for now.

also southern lolitas, (deep south especially) do you think you get worse reactions than your northern sisters or "southern belle" comments? and art school lolitas, how harshly are you judged by your fellow art students? i mean art school is full of kids in alt fashion but lolita is more out there than most of them

I think Dolly Cat is popular because people are speculating that it will be seen as a prestige piece like Cat's Tea Party in a few years. When I heard AP was doing another cat print I got super excited thinking it would be similar to CTP which I will always regret not buying (I remember having it all in the cart but not pulling the trigger because I was still new to Lolita and the price tag scared me.) Once I saw it, was not impressed at all. I expect in a year or two people will either be trying to sell it overpriced to the point of silliness, or bitching about their "investment" not paying off.

Really depends on the brand. I find a lot if not most of IW's skirts have a very tight max, a good 5 cm under the stated ~70-72cm limits sometimes even with high waisted/wide band skirts.

Internet please halp me.

I am looking for gold x cream harlequin socks, but they have to be from a western seller, because I need them before June 6th. I have looked and looked and I can't find anything. Chantilly used to sell some, but it looks like they don't have them on the Harajuku website anymore.

This is my first ILD with this community so honestly, I don't have much to compare it to.

I have absolutely no problem with the $65 price tag if that's ::actually:: the amount of money it costs to host the event, down to the penny. I am curious about the raffle tickets though. It sounded like you get one for free and then you can purchase more. I assume that the raffle tickets go to cover the costs of the prizes etc. but I am concerned about what might happen if there's extra money.

The darker color ways, the focus on an older time period rather than current children's toys, the sleeves on the OP, even the way the rocking horse is sort of hidden in the print instead of being prominent. It's mostly the OP that reads sweet/classic to me. I don't think it's a bad thing, I actually really love that print in the navy color way.

For reference I'm just the anon you're replying to and I wasn't a part of that giant argument about AP and sweet/classic earlier.

I would advise you to ask friends and comm members if they would like to order a couple things with you.
This is what I've been doing.
Read about the shopping service fees and calculate an estimate for their list of items. Take payment _before_ you order their items. Make sure they know to set aside some money for shipping, $20-30ish.
I would recommend Taobao Now. Their customer service is great. Place the order for the items you want, then leave a comment with it saying you will have items to add later so you aren't done ordering.
They will let you comment with additional items.

I think she's beautiful as well. I find it really weird that people don't like her, she seems really sincerely sweet even though she goes from meet to meet having to compliment every lolita, but it's really cute that she takes the time at each event to talk to each girl about her outfit so patiently. I read seagulls dissing her and then I met her and I liked her a lot. Some girls thought it was weird that she complimented everyone but I thought it was really sweet and I can't imagine the energy and patience it takes to meet every single person.
