>>8325918
Not much, but imo otome has a certain elegant/mature feel to it, and usually use a less busy print/has less frills. Where as casual lolita can be a toned down coord of a busy print/ott cut dress. Pic related is what I would call casual lolita but not otome.

[Anonymous No.8325983]

So do we have a word for the ita equivalent of otome or what (pic is from the otome fashion tag)

[Anonymous No.8326053]

Didn't know where else to put this but I was excited by these shoes. Left is Jane Marple, right is Target. On sale for $15 right now. http://www.target.com/p/women-s-sly-strappy-buckle-booties-assorted-colors/-/A-15443734

It's a coordinate by Emily Temple Cute. I'm not sure how this looks notome because if these pieces are coordinated right it would look completely otome.

Can you do a review if you end up getting them? I really wanted to cop the JM shoes too but these would be so much kinder to my wallet. Only problem is I'm in another country so I'd have to get SS to shop from Target!

Really? I couldn't tell. Looking back at the outift, I think it could be otome when coordinated right, as you said, but the way it is right now isn't.

Then again, I'm operating on basically no sleep right now so I might just not be seeing it right. Sorry.

No, at least not an exact "re-release". As >>8328423 said, 30th ribbon used the same illustration as an older print, but the colours and arrangement were different. They do sometimes restock a few pieces from a recent release, usually the next week around 6am est Friday.

Well for one thing, otome does not always need to be a full or poofy skirt/dress, or one at all for that matter. The variety of cuts otome allows is much wider.

>>8326053
The less rounded toe put me off of buying these, but I'd love to see IRL/worn pics if anyone gets them.

Watching a movie right now, but when there's a break I'll post pictures!

Quality wise, they're good for 15 dollar shoes. I probably wouldn't pay full price for them, but the shape is good, material is pretty sturdy, and they're true to size for me. I really like how they make my feet look. Worn them all day walking around the mall with no pain.

Two issues- they scuff easy and there's a couple loose threads where the lining meets the fake leather. Both of those are easy fixes, I washed off the scuff marks and I snipped the loose threads. No othe problems.

Overall rating for the price: 7/10.

[Anonymous No.8332636]

Sounds good. I was also wondering what colour the buckles were on the brown pair? Silver or brass?

Here's the buckles. Couple scuffs on the shoes from wearing them but I'm fairly clumsy and I'm going to just polish them out. Also got some great brown Oxford heels from target for $12 that are even nicer than these.

The design is cute but they executed it poorly in my opinion! The straps floating above the legs is a bit disappointing. Maybe it's just the photo, but I'm not convinced yet. Not who the person who asked for the pic btw

[Anonymous No.8332842]

>>8332835
It's not really noticeable if you're wearing socks, but it's also adjustable (and I have weird chicken legs)! You can tighten it up if you don't want them like that.

I have a couple issues with them, but for fifteen dollars I'm not gonna complain tbh.

This girl seems to always be off in some regard. She's bought the burando, but she needs to style herself better and she doesn't pair the right things to get the otome feel to her outfits. They aren't quirky looking enough and she uses too many normalfag elements

[Anonymous No.8333038]

what would save this outfit in your opinion? Also that dress looks very short looking to me, though I don't know of length matters at all for the fashion.

[Anonymous No.8333042]

>>8333031
This outfit is too plain and sits more under the casual classic lolita umbrella rather than otome. It lacks whimsy and interesting pattern or texture combinations

[Anonymous No.8333087]

>>8333042
This outfit also does not look otome. It's got much stronger cult party kei or mori vibes.

[Anonymous No.8333099]

>>8333038
I suppose the dress is too unstructured in appearance if that makes sense. It is frumpy looking because it has no body to it. She also need some legwear, maybe a blouse with an interesting collar, and a different hat or headwear to match better with the mainpiece. If she styled her hair by doing some plaits, a bun or pinning it back with some barettes that would help. It just needs some more attention to detail to give the coord some much needed cleanliness, structure and quirkiness.

They've got a million petticoats too which was what got me interested (I collect them), but they're all A-line and short for lolita use. Looks like they're made to be worn as a skirt on their own.

[Anonymous No.8334225]

I found this dress today, it's black and white gingham. Is this dress otome enough? I planned to coordinate it with red accessories like a red heart bag, some flats or red bodyline shoes, white lace ankle socks and a red headbow. I will do a collage later.

I think you may have a hard time finding brand that will fit up to 100cm unfortunately, especially with ETC or Jane Marple. The bodices seem best suited to a B cup most of the time, though they might have cuts that would suit you.

Leur Getter with back shirring might fit? Leur Getter is the largest of the otome brands and much more generous in the chest region.

I find the pieces very plain and lacking in the sort of character expected from otome (prints or standout details, good fit), and the way she's coorded them overall looks unbalanced with the way her hair is pulled back. Her tights look like they're supposed to be cat-themed or something if I squint, but there's nothing else in the outfit to draw out that motif so it comes off like a random "kawaii" accessory paired with otherwise fairly generic department store clothing to me.
