Tell us a story of how you/someone else accidentally damaged a dress, blouse, or other item that you loved.

I just noticed that an AP dress I loaned to a friend for a meet, is stained all down the front with tea. It old AP but it was still my first brand dress and held sentimental value. I am furious that she didn't tell me because now the stains are set :)

>>8373410
it's on a busy print, so not noticeable unless you hold it up, but it's on the skirt of the jsk so there's not much i can do to hide it haha
it's ok though i guess, that dress has just become my 'outdoor activities' dress that i'm not afraid to ruin since it's already stained

a girl from my comm ripped her twinkle journey jsk in navy on the bus once, we were getting off and it got caught in something sticking out on the bus
i don't know her very well so i have no idea what happened after, but i saw the slash in the print and she was super sad (as i would be too)

Haven't seen the dress in sax since, and the whole experience nearly scared me off buying from LM.

I havent worn this skirt in over a month and i pull it off my rack to see this? Its really thick dark paint and I haven't got any in my house so I'm really upset at the possibility that someone splatted paint at me on purpose
Dry cleaners can't get it out so they're going to take in the side seam to hide it, here's hoping it stil fits a petticoat well afterwards.... It's only a couple inches

Thankfully a bit of oxyclean and water did the trick to remove the stain. I was so worried it would fade the dress, though. I still take the dress out in different light to see if there is any discoloration, but I haven't noticed anything so far.

It was Baby's She Is Sleeping (the Sleeping Beauty embroidery dress from about 2006). I'm still hunting for it, and I guess the whole situation could've been worse, since my bf at the time nearly bought it for me as an early birthday present, and he would've been in bits if it'd happened to him.

My cat went after the corset ties on one of my favorite dresses and ended putting serious scratch damage on the skirt. Even worse, I was wearing it at the time and got scratched super badly. Shit like that and destroying my fiance's couch is why we had to get her declawed. Inb4 how bad that is. She only goes outside to go to the vet.

I tried to clean it a second time but nothing improved. Last week I tried again. Came out completely, but every time I wore that dress until I cleaned it I stg I thought somebody was going to point out the "cum" and kick me from the comm for having sex in lolita (which I would not do).

I had a cosplayer I knew through some friends ask to borrow my Chess Chocolate OP. Told her no. We have a mutual friend who is also a lolita. She has the JSK, so she asks to borrow that. I have known this cosplayer since high school. She has ruined everything from prom dresses to graduation gowns. She is legitimately that careless and stupid. I told the lolita friend this, but she insisted that everything would be fine. I decided not to care too much about it since I tried, so of course, this happens

To this day, she still thinks someone "stole" the dress (stole its innocence maybe), so she hasn't let anyone borrow clothes again out of the fear of that happening. Cosplay-chan only had the money for it since someone had paid her at the con for a commissioned cosplay, so at least I can rest assured knowing that she essentially put in 50+ hours of work to pay for that dress.

From my high school to the shopping center it was pretty much a unprotected 8-10 mintue walk around fences/walls to where everyone would catch their buses. Majority of the walk had shitty pavement so there were always huge puddles and old Alumni and rivals loved to go when it was pouring and spray everyone. Ive gotten sprayed on so many occasions but it was usually when it was so wet and rainy an umbrella couldnt save you anyway, you either got soaked or wore a full body trashbag.

My bf thought he'd be funny tying the shirring really tight and broke one of the loops the lace goes thru. On that same dress the buttons of the straps fell off when I bent over while sitting in the car. I s2g this dress fits but it was a bad fucking day.

The stories about how people loaned dresses to their friends who wound up staining the items really puzzles me.

Maybe I'm just an extraordinary friend, but if I ever spilled anything on my friend's clothes I would excuse myself from whatever I was doing and would be trying to furiously get the stain out. Hell, I'd even do that for my own brand. Even if I couldn't get the stain out I'd be apologizing profusely and offering money to try to get it professionally cleaned.

Not any of those anons, but plaster painting is different from pottery or anything, the objects are already partially fired, you paint on top and glaze them, then fire the glaze. Slightly better than going all Ghost in Lolita but still a little nerve wracking for anyone who isn't careful.

>>8374935
Reading everyone's stories here, I have a few tips. The products I've had some degree of success with, for different types of stains are:

1. Lestoil - you have to be very careful with it as it is petroleum based, check the dress tags and test it on a part of the item that won't be conspicuous, I use waist ties or the backs of bows. This is good for blood, ink, and oil. I haven't tried it on wine or other food stains.

2. Oxyclean stain powder - This stuff is also good for ink/pencil stains, and great for pit-stains and brightening up lace.

3. Zout Stain remover gel. Not as consistent results but randomly works on different types of stains.

How I wash - note, I've only washed cotton dresses so far. I plan to try with some chiffon/polyester dresses sooner or later:

Test the fabric with cold water. If it looks ok, submerse in cold water with Shout Color Catcher sheets just in case your first test was a false negative.

Agitate gently with your hands (getting a pair of rubber dish washing gloves is also a good idea) and let the garment soak for a few minutes.

Dump out the water, squeeze the garment gently to get extra water out, and rinse it once again, repeat.

Spread the dress out where you have good light. Get a clean/new toothbrush and a cup of water. Gently test the products on the print in an inconcuous area, gently rubbing the product into the fabric with the toothbrush. Rinse with water to be sure it's color-fast. Once you're sure it's safe, go to town on the stains, increasing pressure with the toothbrush as necessary/possible. Try to scrub in different directions, up/down, side/side, around in a circle. Rinse with clean water - con't

Rinse with clean water, repeat process if stain persists. If you want to try a different product, rinse the area thoroughly with water to make sure the products don't have a bad interaction (this hasn't happened to me yet but better safe than sorry.)

Once you are happy with your work, submerge in water, agitate, rinse, dump. repeat this process til the water come out clean from the dress. If the dress overall is dingy or has a lot of light water/pit staining, try mixing some of the oxyclean powder into the water before putting the dress in, and agitating/soaking for slightly longer before rinsing.

Next up on my cleaning challenge is to try and get cigarette stink out of some garments, and to repair damage done to a wool coat where someone tried to clean a pen mark. I'm looking forward to it!

Depends how many times she wore it and how potent her sweat is.

I segregate my bf's clothes separately in the wash for this reason and refuse to mix his with my clothes. No matter how many times I've washed some of his older stuff, which he refuses to let go, the smell never washes out. Worse yet if I mix the clothes his odor actually sticks to my clothes! And I've hit it with extra detergent, smelly fabric softener, oxyclean, and dozens of dryer sheets. It's just a combo of him being a smelly man and the clothes being old.

Here's a picture of a blouse a cleaned, one of the first items I took a stab at. It's not as good a job as I'd like, but the second picture the fabric is still wet and stains show up more when they are wet. I might try to scrub this one again with some stronger product, or hot water since I'm more confident now.

NOPE I try it on an look down only to see the faded sauce stain and a stain from whatever chemical they had used to get it out. As a last resort I soaked it in oxyclean for 3 hours.
I pulled it out completely stain free.

first and only time i bought on LSE, i finally found the sax bodyline squirrel party jsk on my wishlist after hunting for roughly half a year.

the dress looks totally normal from all the available pics. when it arrives, the entire dress including the whole body is stretched and faded. i'm really small so dresses are already a little big on me, i had the pink version for comparison which i'd bought new, and that girl's blue one she sold me fit completely absurd, didn't hug me when laced up and tightened all the way like the new one.

i'm completely put off from shopping on the LSE ever again.

when you take someone to court, you can only sure them for damages incurred, it's not a free for all so the maximum she'd be able to get is the value of what was damaged / cost to repair and maaaaybe some emotional /psychological damage
so no, she most likely won't get anything near the maximum

Mild story here but years ago I bought a dress from within my comm with a button missing and a stain.

That was your first problem. Don't expect anyone outside yourself to get how valuable it is to you, even if they're lolitas themselves. This sort of delusional chivalry in lolita just drives me crazy. If someone pays for it, they get the value of it more.

If it were me, I'd seriously put something in writing before lending it out or have some sort of deposit from them. Is that so hard? You wouldn't let a random have a tattered old library book without any sort of consequence to make sure it comes back the same as when you let them borrow. Why lend out a valued $250+ dress with absolutely nothing but trouble for you if they screw it up or even steal it?

It's leg makeup, it comes in a tube like lotion and you apply it like that. I don't know how many other people put makeup over body scars, I do because while my skin is passable for white, my mom is Hispanic so I get hyperpigmentation around scars due to extra melanin. And on my untanned skin, these dark spots are very noticeable.

honestly if someone's gonna borrow your dress, you should charge them a refundable deposit for whatever your dress costs. Like if someone wants to borrow a $250 jsk, they need to give you $250 and then you'll give them the 250 back for the safe return of the jsk. If the jsk gets damaged, it's they're fault and you can use the money to buy a new one.

It would have to be by shipping service or as a secondary service from a local shop, because there's just not that much demand in one place. It's a cute idea though but when you start lending out accessories and shoes and blouses too it starts to get very silly.

I think full coord rentals would be great for people starting out or are thinking about fully transitioning their wardrobe to another style. You get to try on a full outfit risk-free. And it would help newbies get a grasp of how lolita is supposed to look and feel on them so they don't go the sundress+mom's-old-work-blouse route.

and also:
>full print set combos
>if you rent the main piece you get a discount if you also take out any accessory from the same series
>specials on twinning or clones

You can soak things, just use Shout Color Catchers and don't just dump things in and leave them for 3 hours - stick around and check on them. You should check every few minutes to see if the color is leeching, then examine the garment to see if it needs additional soaking after 1 hour. I can't think of a lot of situations that you'd need to soak something for more than an hour if you're not intentionally dying it though.

I absolutely refuse to lend anyone my brand, mostly because of hearing so many horror stories over the years. I actually have had girls get mad at me over it. I will never under stand why people think they're somehow entitled to borrow my clothes.

A girl lent another in my comm her red Holy Lantern JSK and it turned out the girl was moving in just a couple weeks. She said nothing about moving at all and it's pretty obvious it was a calculated plan to steal it. She ignored all the girl's calls and messages and then deleted her FB and changed her phone number. My friend called the cops, but they wouldn't do anything since technically there was no real way of proving whose dress it was and this girl was now halfway across the country.

I remember that, it's such a nightmare. I feel so bad for the girls who bought from her. Although, to be a little fair, the girl emphasized how as a seller, she shouldn't have spent the money from the transaction, but the seller said right in the listing that the intention was to use it as rent money. The buyer was well aware going into it that the money was going to be spent, so I don't feel she can really fault her for that.

I also like how the seller just has to say "this is my first time selling on here because I buy lolita to wear it, not to sell it". Neither do most of us? I will never understand why some people are judgmental about selling.

I just kind of folded it up and put it in the back of a drawer. Didn't know what else to do. At least that made me finally stop lending her shit, she also messed up a few books I lent her and claims her mom stole my favorite top she borrowed.

Yeah I figure either she just kept it and only wore it when I wasn't around or possibly that she wrecked it. It was one of those corset style tops that were everywhere a few years ago and probably didn't hold up well to the stress of someone 3-4 sizes too big wearing it. Like I said, she was bigger than me, probably around a 20 where I wore a 12/14.

But you can just walk into any photo studio and ask for glamour shots. Just do your own makeup.
