A girl from the USA clicked buy it now on my dress a few days ago and I sent an invoice and message as soon as I woke up, about an hour later. It's been a bit over 3 days now and I'm getting pretty annoyed as I would have shipped today and they haven't contacted me at any point, even before buying to ask for a shipping quote. I sent them an email reminder asking if they got it yesterday since lm was down but they haven't responded to that either. I know a lot of sellers have a 48 hour policy but since I forgot to add one I'll leave it a few more days... am I being reasonable? I think of it gets to a week I'll leave negative feedback and re-list. Sellers shouldn't have to chase up buyers to pay their invoices... I understand time zone differences/ that they might be busy but it's a bit much.

Australia. I'm wondering if they somehow thought they would get free shipping and got scared when I invoiced them for it? It wasn't even that much... like $25 or $16 if it was under 1kg. I think the item was a reasonable price too... annoying.
I might leave it later today if they haven't paid, then add a rule to my TOS. Somebody else could have bought it by now, ugh.

>>8543327
Sorry to suddenly turn SJW but the only reason why they get angry is because Christianity is full of history of discrimination, mass murder, etc. and is still the biggest religion on earth bla bla bla whining Christianity is awful.

Plus a lot of other religions are prettier than Christianity in my opinion? Christianity is just too popular and isn't "pretty" by anyone anymore. Muslim prints would be really cool because it's not yet another Sistine Chapel/dying Jesus/etc print you know? You normally have to look up other religious art meanwhile Christian stuff is literally everywhere.

more Disney related prints featuring the other princess movies like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.

taobao and ebay, either one is fine, taobao you may have more of a selection? and also you may find more specific stores easily (like, lolita-oriented taobao shops selling wigs for that, rather than the random "fashion women harajuku kawaii girls" wigs on ebay)

although be careful and try to find reviews or ask people on here for their experiences because sometimes cheaper wigs can be a bit thinner. also remember that with taobao, you still have to factor in SS and domestic chinese shipping costs along with international shipping and, depending on where you live (if you're a eurofriend), customs fees. I guess it all boils down to what you're looking for exactly? I wouldn't go through the trouble of making a taobao order just for 1 or 2 wigs just because of what you pay in extra costs and fees in addition to the 10-15$ for the wig. I would only get them off taobao if I was buying a whole bunch, doing a group order, or making an order with some other stuff.

Clean and not-distressed jeans are good if he doesn't usually dress up. With a belt. Tuck in the shirt (you'd be surprised who doesn't do this) Obviously a button down shirt in black, white, or a subtle coordinating color (grey or maybe small stripes of sax or pink). Just button it to the 2nd to topmost, no tie or anything. Then I'd use shoes like pic related, in black if you're wearing black or brown with pastels. Or other generic dress shoes, they can be cheap at goodwill. Then you can add a fluffy cardigan in a matching color as the shoes if it's cooler.

So definitely clear it with the organizer of your tea party first, just in case your comm is like mine.

More important than clothes, if the boy doesn't want to come or doesn't want to socialise, don't bring him. If other lolitas at the tea party try to talk to him and experience a bad response, they will remember you badly as the girl who always drags an annoying guy to lolita events. It goes without saying, he should stay out of group photos and sort of stay in the background (it's a lolita meetup, and he's not wearing it after all).

As for the actual clothes, first, again, ask the organizer if there are rules. If not, then just make sure he's dressed neatly and appropriate to the event/venue (eg- formalwear only if that's what is normally worn to that restaurant/cafe, dress down if it's a casual event). He should be in the background anyway, so it shouldn't matter even if he's dressed in t-shirt and jeans.

I mean, if you just ask them if doing that is alright, really the worst they can say is no - you haven't placed an order yet, so it's not like they could blacklist you or something for not paying in a certain amount of time, and they aren't going to ridicule and make fun of you via email. just a simple "Hello, I was wondering what date you will stop accepting orders during this shopping period? I also would like to know how long do I have to pay after placing an order? I would like to place an order, but I do not get paid until Thursday. Am I allowed to place an order now and then pay the invoice on that day? Thanks."

Trust me, if you're worried about sounding stupid, I'm sure they've dealt with even dumber questions and ruder customers before. Just be sure to apologize and say thank you a lot if you want to seem nicer.

I am on a personal quest to get a wearable, practical witch hat, so I'll dump you some suggestions.

AATP usually release one but if Vampire Nocture was their Halloween print then you may have to wait until next year. I have been stalking both sales and auctions and have yet to find one pop up secondhand.

SakuraFairy on etsy has a listing for a custom witch hat that looks really nice and can be decorated by her to her liking.

The actual Antique Beast hats pop up secondhand pretty often and with Halloween coming up you may have luck getting one from somebody who only wanted it for the holiday. Of course if that's the only reason you wanted it, you're just kind of out of luck.

so the gist i'm getting from lolita is all dresses come in one size pretty much? or at least angelic pretty, baby, etc... i don't know much, i'm looking to get into the fashion and it seems there's just one size for sale everywhere

[Anonymous No.8545362]

>>8545350
Basically. Alice and the Pirates has a "men's" line that has slightly broader shoulders and a less pronounced bust, and a few brands do different sizes (JetJ, Moitie, etc.), but for the most part, each brand will sell a dress as just one size.

Sizing varies from dress to dress and brand to brand. You also sometimes have brands that will release "Tall size" items with longer sleeves and torsos (IW, Meta).

Indie brands tend to offer more sizing variety, and sometimes do custom sizing. But the big Japanese brands, and even many Japanese indie brands, only do one size option for each garment.

[Anonymous No.8545364]

>>8544895
Ok, thanks anon. Hopefully this works!

SakuraFairy's hat is cute, but I wanted something big and floppy. Maybe I can message her and see if she'll do a custom one. I don't mind waiting until after Halloween to try and get my hands on Antique Beast's hat, but I did also want it for the holiday. Oh well.

Hopefully AatP will release one. I regret not getting one in past years.

[Anonymous No.8545369]

I've never done that. I always keep the tags on new purchases and don't remove until I wear it. Something might sit NWT in my closet for a year or two sadly since I don't get the chance to wear lolita much.

I ordered something from Mandrake and chose payment through creditcard. As I wanted to pay I had to type in my secure code (which I thought was very strange, I never had to use it before). I tried to type it in but there was something wrong with the box and I failed three times. Now my secure code is blocked and I can not pay.
I mailed Mandrake if they could change my payment to PayPal but I got no response. Their policy says I have to pay within 5 days otherwise I will be black listed. I have to admit that I start to panic now.
iGave it a second try and wrote them a message on their contact board today, obviously I have to wait since it's evening in Japan. I'm still nervous because the time is running out and I just want to have my item.

deerstalker pictures does "lolita school" or something like that videos, i haven't watched them but maybe there's some info there

Anyone have any experience with the Magic Tea Party blouses? I'd like to get a Dear Celine one, but the Magic Tea Party ones are like half the price.
I'm also worried that the wide neckline will look weird with jsk straps.

I have that blouse, it's beautiful irl. It's a little tight in the bust, so definitely size up if you have any boobs, it has waist ties to tighten the back. the lace is gorgeous. the neckline looked fine with my jsk.

In global news, it looks like the yuan is dropping.

For the fashion, I guess this mean taobao will get cheaper and Chinese lolitas will have more difficulty buying stuff from non-Chinese sources.

I doubt that it would affect Chinese lolitas. The ones that focus on western brand are rich as fuck on average.

Buying multiple new JetJ and Jane Marple pieces a month is no big deal for them. They'd still be able to buy brand fairly regularly.

This is on MLD which is why I keep asking about it - it's just a taobao reseller right? I'm a newbie, haven't even joined a comm yet so I'm worried about making the right impression and I know you can't make a good impression by wearing fucking replicas. But I love that dress and want to wear mostly military lolita, cause I love uniforms.

My bf is willing to buy the one on MLD.. so I'm very tempted and might go through with it just cause I want it so badly. So far I've only got a sweet AP dress and my boobs don't even fit in it so I have to get it altered. So I'm much more excited about getting the Yolanda dress.

Yes, it's just a taobao reseller. Opinions on the site are varied across the internet but the site generally does deliver. They do sell replicas but they're usually clearly labeled as such. That dress doesn't strike me as a blaitant one and isn't labeled as such

It is not based off of Excentrique, trust me. I'm addictively following that brand for about 10 years, I would have remembered if a set like this existed.

Inspired yes, but not heavily based off.

Oh yeah, I've read the page a few times to make sure - I've got all my measurements ready to go, just waiting for my boyfriend to be off work lol. I want it MTO anyway cause my boobs are usually too big for lolita. (I never thought I'd have a problem with that but oh well.)

I would love some advice. Recently purchased an OP from AP that has puff-sleeves that close with buttons. I think all the other OP's I've had have elastic, so they fit. Everything on the OP is fine except that the sleeves are just a bit too tight.

I wanted to know if anyone has experience with this, and if anyone knows of a good way to alter them without fucking up the original design too much? The button can only move a tiny bit over so I'm not sure if that's an option.

[Anonymous No.8550229]

>>8550225
Lose weight or get the sleeves professionally altered. I'm assuming that the cuff is just a rectangle of fabric with maybe some minimal lace trim on it, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get it replaced, especially if it's only a little bit too tight.

[Anonymous No.8550231]

>>8550229
Yeah, losing weight it something I'm working on right now.

Thanks tho - might look into finding someone to alter them for me.

[Anonymous No.8550237]

>>8550225
Temporary option: find ribbon that matches the dress trims. Tie the ribbon around the button about halfway down the ribbon. Loop one end through buttonhole. Adjust until the right "size", then tie a nice, tidy bow that disguises both button and buttonhole. Make sure you heat seal the ribbon ends (for poly ribbon) or sew them over beforehand.

those are not similar at all aside from a military theme.
Most brands inspire eachother. Nothing is really truly original, it all comes from somewhere as inspo already.

I am having a problem, so I am losing weight to fit into my dream dress and sadly even after going from 97 cm on my waist to 82 cm and going, my bust is at 110 cm and my dress does not want to go over my bust. Should I mod it to fit me or should I just give up on my dream dress and sell it?
The reason why I am asking is because it's brand and will hate to damage something like it just to fit me.

[Anonymous No.8550801]

>>8550798
Depends on how worried you are over resale value. Is this dress something that you want to wear once then sell? Or is it something you want to keep and wear for yourself? If you honestly want to wear your dream dress then have it altered, have the seams let out a bit. It just depends on what you love more: wearing the clothes or selling them.

I need some advice.

A girl sent me a message asking to buy something from me, if I'd be willing to do a hold until the end of the month. I said I'd do it with a deposit, but she told me she had literally no cash to spare, so I was like fair enough, if you've got feedback to back up a no-deposit hold I'll consider it. However, she's posting urgent WTBs for another item that are showing up on my feed because we're members of the FB sales pages. I don't want to just say "sorry no, I won't do a hold if you're lying to avoid putting down a deposit" because that's super presumptuous but at the same time I don't wanna hold an item only for her to back out at the last minute. wat do?

I didn't agree to hold it, I said I'd consider a hold providing she had good feedback. I'm just a bit put off by her saying she had no money to put down a deposit of like ten dollars but at the same time posting WTBs? Like I said I don't want to be presumptuous (maybe if somebody offers her the item she'll say hey I actually want a hold or w/e) but I don't wanna be played either.

HELP! Just pulled my Dream Sky jsk out of the closet and the bow has FUCKING!! MOLD!! on it!! I checked all my other dresses and they're completely fine, and it's just the Dream Sky chest bow, not the rest of the dress.
