I have a story from 2 years ago.

>Be 17
>kind of shitty parents, neither notice much whether I'm in the house or not
>stay at my house one night because my friend is out of town and it's too cold to sleep outside
>forget to lock my room
>wake up, go to get dressed
>MY WHOLE CLOSET IS EMPTY
>normal clothes are strewn around the floor, but all of my brand is missing from my room
>go downstairs and ask my brother what's going on
>he has no clue
>check my email
>mother sent me an email accusing me of stealing stuff from her closet, so she took everything in mine
>run outside
>see that my mom is pulling my clothes out of her car trunk
>"I didn't take your stuff mom, please give me back my clothes"
>"I know that, anon. There's some things I want to keep here though."
>"I bought all of these with my own money, I need them back. They wouldn't fit you anyway."
>"I'm keeping them because they're pretty."
>mother comes inside, lays my clothes out on the couch and sorts through what she wants
>discards everything except my prized possessions, a VM JSK and a MM OP
>"Those are my favorite clothes, I paid for them and I really need them back"
>try to take them out of her hands
>she pulls on them
>basically burando tug-of-war
>I'm trying to get them back but I'm afraid of damaging them
>she throws them behind her and hits me
>brother hears, comes into the room
>he's autistic but he's protective of me and he's 8 inches taller than either of us
>"Do you really think anon deserves these clothes, anon's brother?? Do you know how expensive they are?"
>”She paid for them, they’re hers. Leave her alone.”
>brother grabs pile of clothes and brings them upstairs for me, I grab my two dresses and run behind him
>mother is involuntarily hospitalized for mental illness two weeks later
>friend lets me keep my clothes at her house until I'm 18

I had to sell some of my dresses but I still have that OP and JSK today. Now I live in another state and I'm only in contact with my brother.

Any items like wigs come through, they hold it off until either the end of September or the beginning of October for Halloween.

I hope you the best to retrieve your wardrobe. If my mom did that to me I would flip so hard and throw a WW3 fight. Then move out and sue for whatever remaining items I would not be able to get back.

If someone is a sweet lolita, I think they should stop between 25-30. Older women have plenty of options with classic and gothic lolita. I think there is an expiration date when it comes to certain sub-styles, people need to dress age appropriate.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 18:16:45 2015 No.8461119 >>8461044 Disagree. Many girls can pull sweet off at that age. Just depends on the person.

I agree with this. There are plenty of older women in the style who look amazing. Porphyria_Ash I believe is in her 50s and still looks amazing in gothic/classic styles, the last time she posted pics. I'm in my 30s, and favour these styles, and Aristocrat. Some of IW's pieces are great if you're after something not too loud, with a mature feel. I adore my Glen Check Flare jsk, as it looks very classically tailored, and not too out there. It's nice as it also looks nice without a petticoat, in a non-Lolita outfit.

I kinda hate this mentality. What if your older and don't like classic or gothic? i fell in love with "pastel vomit" sweet and I still love it. Gothic or classic has never interested me and not all older women are going to be interested in those styles.

I don't get it, either. Misako is 33. The brands fashion designers themselves are getting into their 30s and 40s, with lines growing on their faces and everything.

The grannies in the documentary "Advanced Style" have their own thing going for them. One could argue that their personal styles, while more modern than lolita, are just as eye-catching and "odd" in the eyes of normies.

As long as your eccentric fashion doesn't violate the dress code of your workplace or a special occasion like a wedding, I don't see why anybody has to stop wearing fashion they like when they're about to stop looking "young". If you have thick skin to handle the snide remarks of strangers, there's really nothing stopping you from wearing sweet lolita when you want to.

Like >>8461175 says, unless you have very youthful features, it can look terrible. Some older women look amazing in styles you would not expect, but if you have mature, angular features, it's harder to be taken at all seriously and not just ook like you're playing dress up. Sweet-classic styling is much better an option. I used classic and gothic as examples as they're the styles I'm interested in. IW's Yumi Fujiwara is a perfect example of an older Lolita who gets that balance spot on.

You see, the nice thing about getting older is you have less and less fucks to give.

I'm in my mid 30's. While I own some classic and gothic, I still love sweet and will continue to rock that shit. I don't care if anon on /cgl/ thinks that my face is perhaps too mature for sweet. I wear what I want. I do what I want.

Beyond that it's fairly different IRL, seeing a person in three dimensions and in movement is entirely different than staring at a 2d picture. They may look perfectly fine in sweet to the same person but if they saw a photo without seeing in person they might nitpick. Lighting can effect it too. I've had some pictures taken where I look like I'm in my early 20's and others where I look older because shit lighting.

That said, do what you want to do, wear what you like. This is an strange fashion to most normies anyway and even in some toned down looks some people are still going to call you Bo-peep, Mary Poppins, or say "nice costume" because you're dressed differently. If you want to roll around in pastel vomit at 50, go for it.

I have mature angular features and wear AP's most sweetest crap. No one really says anything negative to me and I get positive comments. The only ones who have issues with it are other lolitas, everyone else just doesn't care.

I also think it's creepy to push that only those with very youthful features can wear sweet. Makes me think the goal is actually looking like your under 10.

I understand this mentality if the person in question is quite obviously wrinkled (which usually doesn't happen until mid 40s for the average person) and their way of dress is too OTT.

But please, don't project your life's plan onto everyone else and think it necessarily a fact. I'm 23 and get told I look 18/19. I think I've got well more than a few years past 25 to enjoy sweet, and even after that I can style sweet in such a way that isn't pastel vomit. Namely through softer, muted colors and less poof.

>I don't get it, either. Misako is 33.

This weekend I went to a Baby Q&A panel but had to leave early to give my friends their badges. As I walked away from my seat I dropped all my shit (badges, con guide, phone, purse) and after I picked it up I took 2 steps and dropped everything again. Kumiko Uehara saw.

I've posted this story before, though with bits changed a bit since I still had to deal with the chick involved. But basically it boils down to:
>can't have kids cus hereditary health stuff
>foudn this out well after getting into lolita so completely unrelated
>go back to school post-normal-college-age cus bf and i want good stable life so we can figure kid thing out later
>weird weeb girl gets attached to me cus im polite to her and i dress 'animes'
>weird weeb girl gets oddly obsessed with me becoming a mom (we work with kids) to where i have minor breakdown and tell her i can't
>she then gets on this huge kick of 'helping' me and goes on about adoption, magical solutions, 'gods plan' and the like
>by the time i finally finished classes she actually started to get it in her head that my lolita fashion was me trying to BE the baby
>i wear toned down gothic but ok
>hear her discussing this with classmates
>she's telling them its 'very painful' for me so not to ever bring up kids around me
>i fucking love babysitting/being an auntie so this is actually pretty distressing when everyone suddenly stops talking about their kids
>pregnant girls actively avoid me
>eventually i get this all straightened out
>weeb girl continues to help
>like she's leaving pamphlets on surrogacy and shit in my work bag
>we are assigned next to each other so can't escape it
>telling my clients all about it when i go to set up which makes it horribly uncomfortable when I'm working with them/their children

Even teens can have mature features. Does that make them still too old? My 7 year old neice has a long angular face, deep set eyes and her nose is slowly becoming more prominate. I guess that makes her too old as well. How young do you want sweet lolitas to look? Do they have to have the faces of toddlers to be ideal?

Lolitas are so obsessed and anal when it comes to age. Everyone is different and has different tastes. If I still like pastel vomit sweet when I am a wrinkly old granny, I will wear it if it keeps bringing me joy. I can't help that classic, sweet classic and gothic don't appeal to me, it's just not my taste.

I can't really think of any specific story that happened while there but I guess a little background on weeb might be interesting?
>looks like a kid, short like a kid, acts like a kid (middle school weeb type), wears actual preteen girls clothing bought from Justice (but my clothes are babyish ok)
>except she has ridiculous anime tits
>i cannot describe to you how weird this looks that she has actual honest to god H cups on a 12 year old's body
>tries to jam them into her child-size hoodies with minimal success, usually just results in massive and apparently unwanted cleavage
>would then freak out on anyone who looked at said tits even though it literally looked like a 11 year old trying to smuggle stuff out in their sweater
>despite appearing clean and wearing fresh clothes every day, if you are within 5 feet of her you will smell mildew
>got away with a lot of shit during classes, I assume because of her being so much like a kid that no one could believe she did anything on purpose
>would also use her "troubled home life" as an excuse but would never elaborate, nor does she make any effort to leave it despite having opportunities
>flipped her shit one day upon finding she'd have to use public transport to get home, she had never done so before (this is a grown ass woman mind you) and coerced another girl into driving her home instead

yknow in retrospect i'm wondering if maybe somehow her being so obsessed with me having kids has to do with her being a weird woman-child. I really hope this wasnt some weird adult baby grooming thing.

Why put such a definitive expiration date on something you love? I can understand stopping due to finances or limited ability to wear it but even so, i'd stay in the fashion even if i could only go to one meetup a season. or even a year. It's like saying that fun has a expiration date. sure, adult responsibilities will limit your fun time but gosh, you can't tell me that life changes that dramatically once you hit the big Three Zero! i'm 28, no plans of stopping anytime soon, and i work 3 jobs. Even when i have kids i'll still dress up (just not bring them to meets- those aren't play dates)

Yknow I haven't been in one for a long time so I looked at it and I agree. I know some of her stuff had to have come from there cus of the logo, but now I'm wondering if it wasn't older stuff she's had this whole time or from a thrift shop? Cus her clothing definitely had the obnoxious glitter and sparkles and bright rainbows thing that I know I've seen tons of little girls wear, but maybe a few years ago?

Are you going to stop wearing lolita becuase someone may think it's stupid and doesn't like how it looks on you? Are you going to stop when they give you shit? No? Then don't tell others what they can and can't wear.

Also, people should start telling young looking girls to stop wearing mature styles and to only wear sweet. It's only fair since we have to wear the correct substyle to match our faces.

Most lolitas are pretty hypocritical. They want everyone else to accept them and what they wear but they can't even accept people in their own fashion having different tastes than what is considered "normal". If they can't accept something as simple as an older/mature faced girl choosing to wear sweet, they shouldn't demand acceptance from others.

I went to Japan last year and was told by a Japanese girl that lolita is mostly for ugly girls. I saw what she means, the Japanese lolitas I saw, (sweet or other) would be seen as ugly by cgls standards. Most of them didn't have the cute youthful look that everyone fawns over and tries to copy. I didn't personally think they were ugly but everyone here seems to think you need to look like an AP model or those highly photoshopped lolitas all over tumblr.

You people need to stop watching anime, dramas and Jpop and actually go to Japan. Even in the birthplace of lolita and kawaii culture, most people outside of the media don't fit the ideal your trying to push.

I have gotten literal comments from guys on the street, ranging from "nice boobs!" to whistles, to dudebros circling a parking lot while I walked into a grocery store just to hang out the window of their truck and howl "I LUV UR TITS" at me.

Honestly, it might be where you live? When this was all going on I was in a pretty college-age area so I was always around dudebros/fratboys. This doesn't account for the weird 40-somethings that would come into my work to leer at me, but eh.

Honestly I got way more shit in normie casual clothes than I have since I started dressing up more, whether in retro stuff or jfash/lolita. In the latter I get compliments if anything at all, in the former I got creeps.

When i first became interested in lolita, my bestie and I were looking for where to start besides the bodyline dresses that my buddy already had. A "Friend" who was a local designer offered to make us Dresses that were "As good as brand!" who am i to refuse? It's like those street vendors who sell Louis Vuitton ripoffs for cheap to tourists who wouldn't know better. So, I go out, buy 6 yards of fabric (yeah, way to much), matching thread, have the girl make the skirt for me and i get it back well over a month or two later reeking of smoke. I pay her for her services (somewhere between $60 and 100, i forget) and head on home. instantly, I realize that the skirt wasn't half elastic as i had ordered it. fully elastic, which doesn't sit on the waist the way i like. then i put it on and realize there is so much room in that skirt that me and my bestie could fit inside it at the same time with so much room to spare for another. Now mind you, i am plus sized but i don't think anyone in this world (or most people) have a 100 INCH WAIST! (254 cm). On top of all that, i realized that she kept the remainder of my fabric! I had to verbally wrestle her on the phone to get her to give me the rest of the fabric as well as fix the skirt. She refused to fix the full elastic and make it into half because it was "too much work." After letting her keep it for another month she made it reasonably smaller and i just went with it. wore it once, never again. what a waste. If i only knew then what i know now about the fashion. if only.

I don't know how well it applies with Lolita, since I think it probably needs makeup and such done, but if you're worried about being overdressed, you can always bring your clothes and change into them if street clothes are underdressed.

There are tons of older lolitas in Japan, anon. It's more common among the younger set there because youth is often an excuse to do a lot of things for Japanese people. People who continue with their "alternative" hobbies (this extends from unusual fashion to video games and anime) openly in Japan are sort of odd ducks, not because of their hobbies being "only for kids" but because of the restrictive nature of the culture for Japanese adults and social norms. In the west people don't have the same social norms, and it's much more common for people to openly enjoy their hobbies as adults. Looking to Japan for expiration dates on hobbies is a generally bad idea because they consider anyone into subculture stuff that doesn't have an office job working 6 days a week a chunibyo. (Kind of an exaggeration, but still)

I have never seen an older Japanese lolita. Only once I read somewhere that someone saw some women who looked to be in their 40's wearing sweet but no pictures. They must hide themselves or something.
I also thought they stopped becuase of their age alone, they have a pretty messed up view about what is old over there. I think the women are seen as old at much younger ages than in the west and Japan has an obsession with young women looking and acting like kids. I thought most would stop due to not being seen as young and cute anymore.

Yeah, I think there's definitely some social/cultural embarrassment for a Japanese woman who openly engages in "frivolous" hobbies. I dunno I tend to take "well GLORIOUS NIPPON does it THIS way" with a grain of salt because the minute you start studying Japan past the cute clothes and anime, you start realizing that they have some pretty fucked up aspects to their society. Especially if you're a woman. Like, if you're unmarried at 25 you're considered a failure and you need to get your shit together. That probably plays into women ending their hobbies too.

I wouldn't say it's great for anyone. There are several reasons why the hikikomori phenomenon is mostly male - while there are great pressures for women to return to the household, there are equally great pressures for men to 'take responsibility,' which can mean anything from taking over a family business which they may not like to trying to find a job in an economy that's been in a 20 year long recession.

Not to say that I'm trying to undermine how women are treated in Japan though. I really wonder sometimes how women fare at work though if they're still in a career past 25. Like, do they get pressure from their boss (who's most likely male) to quit work? The pressure's already great enough in the States to try to balance work and family, I can't imagine what Japan would be like what with their attitudes towards social movements and all.

Just my observations but all the lolitas I saw in Tokyo over the period of about a week were over 25, with many very likely in their mid-thirties or older. There are almost certainly lolitas that discovered the fashion in the late 90s and early 00s still doing their thing as well. The lolitas I saw still looked fairly youthful but you could see up-close that they were no youngsters.

Japanese women tend to really look after their skin, avoid staying out in the sun etc so rarely look 'old'. Take the musicians from kokusyoku sumire, they are in their 40s I think and even Misako is 33. Arika Takarano from Ali Project is 51 and still wears lolita fashion (amongst other j-fash plus stunning stage costumes), although she does look astonishingly young for her age, even by Japanese standards (also looks great in candids so not just photoshop magic).

I wouldn't be surprised if those people had cosmetic work done as well. I heard it's very common in Japan but they aren't vocal about it. Skin care and avoiding the sun helps with wrinkles but doesn't do anything against sagging. I noticed they start sagging around late 20's to 30's.

Thing is that even the girl whose party it was, who came up with the theme, who made and sent out the invitations, wasn't remotely dressed up.

See this is what I don't get. Most of these comments are "In my personal opinion it looks terrible beyond blah blah" or "stop liking what I don't like". If someone wants to wear pastel vomit sweet when they are 50 what business is it of yours? And if you feel like it is ugly, who cares? It's not your place to force your own personal preferences onto someone else.

In the words of Momoko (or words to this effect): If it makes you happy. Do it. Fuck everyone else.

Thats actually more of a social issue than a "boohooo I don't look good anymore". Despite what Nihon loving weebs might like to believe, Japanese culture is so fucked, and the particular cultural norms that apply to this is that women are still expected to marry early, and overt individualism is frowned upon. Lolita fashion inhibits both of these things. Can't find a husband if you are dressed weirdly, can't perform your gender role and you actively pursue a lifestyle that acts against a collective society. Fathers will literally burn clothes they have payed $100's on to get their daughters to conform to what is considered correct and proper for their now adult young ladies to enter the market.

Nah, it honestly varies by group. Some of my friends will just stick on animals ears or a party hat and call it a day, on the other hand a different group of friends go all out, actually buy new clothes to put together an outfit, style their hair and makeup to suit the theme. And then there's those few who will just "dress nice" and can't be arsed about a costume at all, costume party or not.

In hindsight, the "strongly encouraged" wording might have given away that the costumes were rather more optional. But the best way would have been to sound out her friends or someone who knew her group of friends to gauge how serious their idea of dressing up would be. Kinda sucked that you didn't know the girl or her group of friends so well and couldn't guess their level of enthusiasm for dressup accurately.

Whenever I hear "you shouldn't wear sweet after 20/25/30 (the cut off date seems to vary greatly)" or "you can only pull off X if you're cute/thin/petite" I just chuckle. With every passing year I just become more and more sure that seeking approval or status is not a path to happiness. I used to suffer from severe insomnia and depression - only battled them after I learned to let it all go and not give a fuck what others might think. Wearing lolita helped a ton.

I had this happen but with an older lady. She admired my outfit, I was wearing Sugar Dream Dome. She was just so in love with the dress and everything, said she has always loved Japanese fashion. She said she missed her chance to get into it and now she is too old.

It makes me sad that people give up or are too afraid to do things that make them happy to seek approval from others. It's not worth giving up your happiness just to please others.

New school lolita just looks like regular formal wear nowadays. You could get away with the classic or gothic stuff worn in a 'casual' way until about 45. Beyond that I would gradually turn into an eccentric old lady wearing clothes closer to actual period wear.

Even still they basically stole your clothes and donated them without affording you the opportunity to sell them to get some of your money back

Mfw I know that lolita on the right.
He's actually a brolita and creepy as fuck.

I have a (somewhat) horror story involving him actually.

I used to hang out with him and a few other lolis when I was in Japan.
Heard that he got kicked out of the comm for being a creeper.
I didn't know the details but ended up meeting him in my home country. He seemed like his usual self, didn't seem particularly creepy or anything.

Then I met him in Japan when I went over. Bad idea!

He was ok for a while but insisted that we have dinner at Odaiba and see the harbour view. I went along with it, but he started doing strange things like asking me to sit right next to him in the restaurant.

I think he was trying to get me drunk at one point.
He ended up having like 6 drinks and was 'acting' drunk. It seemed like he was using it as an excuse to try and hug me and grab my hands.
He followed me on the train back and kept trying to grab my hands again. Thank God I told him that my parents were waiting at the station.
The image of him staring at me through the glass as the train left the station still stays with me...

I wish I just left when he started being weird. I did call him out on his shit, but he just kept doing it. It was my first time being harassed like that, so I was a bit slow tbh.(I know I know)

And then he messaged me recently to tell me that he was staying at the same hotel I was staying at before. That's just fucking creepy in this context.

That makes a lot of sense to me. I spent years tracking street fashion photographers and the number of teens in lolita seem pretty low to me. 20+ seems to pretty much be the norm.

Given that the Japanese scene is not immune to young lolitas having an ita phase, it would be terrible to leave when you hit 20 anyway. That's just when so many people start to flourish and find their style (nevermind kind of settling physically after the garbage storm that is puberty).

Sometimes it isn't worth it. You are not obligated to have a relationship with someone who treats you like shit. It doesn't matter what their excuse for it is, you have to take care of yourself first. I just wanted to say this, because it seems like the entire world pressures people to have a "good" relationship with their family members, even if those family members are terrible people. Yeah, you only get one mother, but not all mothers are equal. With a few of them you'd be better off not having a mother at all. You can be happy without your biological family, and sometimes you're better off that way.

Only things I could find when I looked it up for myself.

"High school students receive spending money from their parents in various ways. Some get a set amount from their parents on a specified day; others receive cash when they need it for particular expenses, and so on. According to one survey,* the largest proportion, or some 38.5 percent, of Japanese high school students receive an average monthly allowance of between 4,000 and 5,000 yen.

"Otoshidama (???) – Most Japanese children and teens look forward to New Years a lot more than they do to Christmas because they know that they’re going to be New Year’s gift money from each and every older relative of working age. Elementary school students get about ¥1000-5000 per relative, junior high students take in ¥3000-10,000, and high school kids get ¥3000-20000."

This is also why teens get allowances. There isn't much income inequality in Japan (yet) and the average family has money left from bubble era investments so they can afford to let the kids have some cash. Also the grandparents and other family members give out tons of money.

When all's said and done, they are a charity. They get so few donations that they can't just give away their stock to whoever shows up claiming it was theirs. It was probably infinitely cheaper than she bought it for, anyway.

I mean, their teeth are way more jacked up than something as simple as yaeba. Major overbites and underbites, most of teeth are crooked. Yaeba can be cute if that is the only issue but a lot I see have major dental problems and a lot of them also have very yellow teeth.

Is this the first step to being trans, or a serial killer?
I haven't watched anime in years and have no friends into this so I don't know what is influencing it, I've never thought about cross dressing and have no intention on being trans, obviously nobody knows I like it it's completely secret and it's really killing my self esteem.
I just really like the style, the make up, the accessories, the shoes, the fashion as a whole.

I don't think there are as many brolitas (and girls who like them) as other Anons seem to think but a guy wanting to dress lolita isn't really a weird thing. There's a lot to it though, it's hard! So many guys just fantasize about it and never do it. There's a fair amount of people who don't like or accept brolitas too, even if they are good ones. Read up on the subject then decide if you want to actually do it or just like the idea as a nice daydream. You could try makeup and a wig first to see if you like evrn that much before you invest hundreds of dollars in clothes for full coirdinates, you can't do lolita 1/2 way. Chances are if you don't get wig and makeup right first then the rest won't satisfy you either. Maybe you can find a lolita or brolita to coach you?

a lot of lolita designers are male, and they are not trans, though some are crossdressers.

men can be into types of fashion, and even wear it. it is not unusual in the fashion world. however, it is unusual in regular society, so you would still have to deal with other people's idiotic assumptions.

Did you miss his new designs earlier this year? Pic related. So rori, so elegant, yes?

He wasn't a designer to start with, he was a light novelist. The clothes for the movie were provided by Baby, and then they later collaborated with him -- but how much of that collab is actually him designing and how much of it is Baby slapping his name on things is debatable.

So basically I'd leave him off the list of male designers.
