Here's my 2 cents. Cuts of different lengths catering to both taller and petite gulls. Also cuts/shirring for the bigger ladies around the bust/waist. Lovely summery print that hasn't been overdone to death like strawberries, cherries, other fruits in general, florals, gingham, etc . I reckon: off white > blue > black colourways. Meta has s loyal fanbase. Yeah it'll do well.

On another note the socks that they coordinated it with don't match it thematically but they're some nice socks. They'd go well with anything else. Again offwhite x gold and black x red will be popular. The offwhite x lemon and offwhite x powder blue less so.

Here's to hoping my predictions hold up when it's released.

I'm starting to get into lolita fashion, but i'm reluctant to join a comm, as i can't stand gossiping and drama, which seem to be commonplace, at least from what i've read here.

Is anybody here who doesn't go to comms? I'd just like to wear lolita when i feel like it, without having to deal with gossip and hypocrisy.

Loner lolita of 3 years here! There are definitely pro to being a loner lolita. You can wear the clothes more how you like and experiment more, no real drama and the likes.
You can easily just follow the online community and 4chan.
BUT as far as I've heard the irl drama is very minimal and I'm guessing it's just very overblown online. And sometimes I wish I had a lolita friend to talk about the hobby and dress up together.
You can easily wear lolita without a comm, but I wouldn't see the online drama as representative for real lolita communities.

I was a lone lolita for five years before becoming involved with my local comm, and the only thing that changed is that I now have more people to chat with and more nice pictures of myself. Most communities aren't nearly as drama filled as /cgl/ would have you believe, and if you stay off /cgl/ and certain FB groups like RC:U then you probably won't experience much drama at all. My workplace is infinitely worse when it comes to gossip than my local comm.

You can start slow and build it up, plain and simple sweet lolita in itself is very eye catching so maybe try that first. Go simple: Non printed JSK paired with a simple blouse, socks, matching (minimal) accessories, shoes, purse, maybe a parasol if you want, see how going out in plain pastels works out for you. Take the time to build your confidence and you might be able to wear 2010 sweet without issue eventually.
Otherwise, like >>9109600 said, if you care so much about what people think this is probably not the style for you.

I'm a daily Lolita and I don't have a single piece of non Lolita clothing besides my working clothes and pajamas. I wear it grocery shopping, to doctors appointments, getting coffee in the morning, anything that isn't working out, sleeping, or fucking.

My biggest suggestion to you is to stop being so self conscious about it, you sound really anxious to go out in Lolita and if you're that wound up about it you won't be able to enjoy it.

I once wore lolita to a doctors appointment because I only found out about it after getting dressed (my mother made the appointment for me and told me the wrong date). Wasn't too concerned because I get along really well with my usual doctor. It got a bit awkward when it turned out my appointment was with a young new intern, and even more awkward when he started hitting on me. I only ever get hit on when I'm wearing a petticoat.

In my comm we get occasional shit-stirrers. Mostly people who sit on the sidelines and don't actually participate and want to start shit online. They get bored with it pretty quickly, or eventually out themselves.

Gossiping and drama doesn't really happen with the regular active members. Even though we do have young members along with older, everyone seems to be chill, and those who are further along in their experience are happy to use it to help others improve.

Thanks for sharing OP! I'm not sure what to translate, so I'll just summarize stuff I found interesting?

I see a lot of comments mentioning that people like the style and find it cute, people like looking at the style, etc. seems like most of these posters are too shy to wear the fashion or think their bodies or age don't suit it.

There's a comment noting that a parent attended a PTA meeting dressed in lolita, how impressive.

had a weird dream about lolita last night, I was at some convection and dressed in gothic. It began raining outside there was a really bitchy ita who started cussing out everyone there, and once they started yelling at her she punched me and ran out of fear
i started chasing her through a gallery since her feet left wet footprints
when i finally caught up to her, i walked with a limp and with my head crooked like i was pretending to be a ghost, and i kept chasing her after she ran again

Yeh, I know that, but since Marionette has the illustration on it, that's why it might be under Nakamura's part of the contract/permission, whereas the other two might be more generic dresses (one baby, one volks and one nakamura, she may have not given them permission to re-release it? whereas Volks ok'd it?)

Does anyone have experience ordering from Bunny House? I need a good new bell-shaped petticoat, and their's seem to be good.

When filling out the order form, do you list your exact waist measurement?

For the length, I'm unsure what it should be, most of my dresses hit right above my knee, but they do vary slightly. Would 45 cm be a good general length?

I think the "super large" would be too much poof for me, so I'm deciding between "medium" and "large". I want it to be enough poof, but not too much.

Also, how is their shipping? I know they have an EMS option as well, but I'd like to avoid extra costs if I can.

I listed my exact waist measurement and it fits... slightly loose so maybe subtract 2cm or something (depends on how you like them to fit though; it's not like mine is sliding off of me). 45cm is a good general length; it's the length of the CP petticoats. You could measure from your waist to about where your dresses hit to see, then subtract 5-10cm from that length.

I have the medium one and it's a good amount of poof. Not super poof ala Angelic Pretty, but a Baby-level of poof. Their shipping to the US took about 2 weeks for $15.

post isn't about them washing the dress, it's the fact they're selling it as "brand new without tags" when it's been worn. Once something has been worn for a period longer than a try-on, it's not "brand new". Like new, maybe, but not brand new.

Are these worth it?
I have large boobs so I always struggle with blouses but there are a lot of these and they aren't too expensive. I know they are stained, but...

>>9114429

Since most of the blouses are white/off-white, you should be able to throw the lot into a bucket of bleach and most of them should survive, however, you have to be prepared to lose a few along the way -- some might not survive the bleach, some might survive it too well with stains still intact, some might survive and be nice and white but be the wrong size/shape or kinda fug and you can't sell them off afterwards, etc etc. That's why the price is low, you're basically taking a gamble on what the stains are, that you can remove them all, and that you can use the blouse afterwards. Pretty much only do it if (a)you have enough experience with lolita laundry/stain removal, and (b)you don't mind if the gamble doesn't work out and you lose some blouses.

If you're a large cup size it's almost a given there's no lolita brand that makes princess seam blouses for large cup sizes, anything above F cup you can save yourself a lot of grief going straight for custom/homemade instead of hunting high and low for that perfect blouse.

So do many people. But it takes time and effort to run a FB group so no one has made one yet. I'm sure the people who post Japanese releases would probably join and post if asked though so someone really should do it. I mod two (non-lolita) FB groups though and it does take a bit of committed regular time and effort to approve memberships, eject spammers, shut down off-topic stuff etc. It would be good to have a Japanese-only releases (and of course no bodyline) group. Not all of us like Taobao very much.

I think it has to do with past when lolita was harder to get so prices stayed higher. People are just used to get more from their clothes and won't accept it. Japanese standards are also a lot higher. I don't buy much from west unless it's a good deal or local. The stuff in my country tends to be a lot cheaper than in west generally since we have fewer buyers so I'm lucky. People here are also more conserned about flaws. But yeah I definitely use the Japanese auctions most. Stuff is in great condition and if it isn't it's usually super cheap.

To the people who keep asking this question:

No, the western lolita community isn't dying. The lolita community as you used to know it is, however, changing. That's all. And maybe you don't like how it's changing, that's fine - but all fashion communities change.

If you are speaking about how online comms have changed - people have begun changing their online presence a lot for a variety of reasons and I think people think it's "dead" because of the way lolitas interact online is different, but regardless the fashion is as alive and active as ever. A lot of older members of my comm will talk about how the comm has never been as active as it has been in the past 2 years.

Comms in specific locales may have inactive comms or only somewhat-active comms, but I do not believe that this is indicative of a larger pattern; some areas are just like that.

You have to ship first class + registered when dealing with shipping overseas. Which ends up being around $30-40. It honestly is the only option besides express with a tracking number that paypal will accept should something happen. You can't ship with bubble mailers either using this option.

Our basic Priority Mail does not come with a tracking number for overseas, you have to purchase express if you want it. Which is stupid.

The ones complaining sales are slow will generally also tell you they've dropped their prices multiple times though. Whereas the ones complaining prices are high also generally tell you they've completely stopped looking at lacemarket at all.

I mean, wunderwelt is selling on lacemarket now, and they're Japanese, so I don't see how lacemarket is worse than the Japanese market with a slice of the Japanese market being on lacemarket (presumeably pricing their things around average Japanese market price).

Radical feminism isn't really much of an insult, a lot of their social/political ideology makes way more sense than the third wave bullshit. Having said that though, lolita isn't and shouldn't be a women/female/whatever-only safe space. It's a niche fashion community that glorifies hallmarks of traditional femininity, not a rape survivor support group.

Also if OP isn't a troll, she's probably just bitter that she's not getting as much attention as some dude in her comm.

Probably because they're like every other foreign website (brand direct or secondhand shop) that's figured out the westerners are buying their shit; when they know we're buying they always hike up the prices. Look at all the taobao shops that have special western storefronts with obnoxiously sky high pricing compared to their regular home bases.

This is really up to the local comm. there is nothing wrong with deciding that your Lolita group is female only. There is no rule stating that a comm has to accept everyone or even anyone, it's basically a social club and each comm makes their own rules and choices to suit themselves.
I don't want to hang out with men in dresses or itas so 3 guesses what we do not have in our local comm?

Maybe (nicely) explain to her that it doesn't match anything in your wardrobe. Or like, take selfies when you do wear it and send it to her to make sure she sees, I do that when I'm wearing gifts from friends but they generally get me stuff I like. Out of curiosity, what's the colour palette anyway?

The more detailed Btssb dress collabs don't look great as well. They are just too detailed to translate well to such a small scale. The more simple dresses tend to look quite good. The IW collab looked very nice as well, I wish they'd do more collabs with IW.

I don't care much about the resale value, since I usually plan to do new face ups on my Pullips anyway. Getting the full dolls is just easier and cheaper than buying the MIO kits and acquiring the clothes seperately.

/k/ brolita here, I wore my coord for part of the meet, I think it went pretty well aside from my petticoat trying to escape by the time this video was taken. I'm not sure if I was wearing it wrong or if it was just trash, but next time I wear this I'm going to be sure to get a good quality petti.
And better shoes/ wig.
I feel like I learned a bit of what I did wrong, and that I do in fact enjoy dressing in Lolita, so now that I have time to wait for stuff from taobao/ bodyline/ etc to arrive and I'm comfortable investing in higher quality stuff, I think my next go will look a lot better!

the lolita community tends to get a a lot of "special" people who think they're above advice and rules, so we're quick to get annoyed when we see certain habits. once you settle in you'll see we're pretty helpful and mellow when there's nothing to rage at. good luck!

They are, I've seen them and to be honest - they're pretty boring and I've yet to see anyone get a ton of comments because who the fuck cares about blogs anymore. Most people use microblogging platforms instead. And all those have gone to shit too.
But if you post about being from /k/ and being a brolita in the fucking dead ass instagram thread, it's not gonna do shit and no one is gonna care because very few people use that thread anyways. My argument is more with the person who said they shouldn't be posting in this thread because "weh, blog posting"
And as per usual with gull posters who are 90% troll anyway, no one had any real critiq to give other than "go away other board" as if they only frequent /cgl/ and if you only frequent /cgl/, well, what does that say about you?

>>9116500
See above about how people rarely do this now and how most people don't care about blogs regardless of where they are posted.

The blog threads compared to social media threads are even more dead here.

some of these bitches weren't here to see your original post and how this is relevant. I'm glad you were able to wear that first draft out and take notes about what you need to do to make it better.
that petti is definitely too flat. you don't need to scrap it, just get a fluffier one (classical puppets isn't a bad first real petti), and then you can layer both for the skirts that can take it.
