If you're over the cup size the garment is made for nothing but changing your body will. Seeing as you said fit I figured you meant physically and not aesthetically. No one can tell you if you aren't going to give band and bust size measurements really.

If you can manage to get down to a 2-3 inch difference from your high bust to your full bust than that should get rid of it. Under bust doesn't matter as much visually unless that's already too big as well.

If you're aiming for pic related, it's marked as sold out because the reservation period has ended.

She did a really good job with this. So many idiots can now get quickly and fully educated on just. how. terrible. KE's behavior was.
it's not that she made a mistake, it's how she handled it.
At least on a credit card you have time to pay it back.
And that time would have been enough for her to sell in the States. A US buyer wouldn't have to worry about international shipping, hell a Eurofriend could have gotten it and beat customs!
Even eating a teeny loss by slightly discounting that NWT set would have helped her...but of course she wouldn't have thought of this...because she's not a lolita.

Thing is, when I went to AP in laforet last year and bought just a few cutsews, the shop girl was very clear to me about the price, and even showed me the total to my face on a calculator when she was deducting the tax percentage. Maybe I had a different shopgirl than Kelly but no way would she have not been made aware of the price for such an expensive dress. It makes me wonder if she did buy the dress with the intention to return it, or like someone in the comments of Tyler's video suggested, she tried to return it because it didn't fit and decided to play dumb. Surely she can't be stupid enough to miss all those hints that there was an extra zero on the price? Or maybe she is, who knows, her story just doesn't add up to me.

Agreeing with this. I've never bought at a shop in Japan where they didn't point directly at the number on the register or lay out each item's price clearly. In fact, when you start spending that sort of money and they realize you're a mute idiot (aka foreigner), they go out of their way to get that shit duty-free for you on your passport, so I have no fucking idea what the hell actually went on for that dumb cunt.

I don’t get it as well. I‘m currently in Japan and have been to AP in Laforet and Shinjuku (and many other stores as well). Once they see you’re a foreigner they show you the price on the cash register or a calculator and in some cases even try to say it in english. So far even the tiniest shop tried to make sure I knew the price I had to pay. And since tax is added everytime as a foreigner you get used to check the full total before paying.

Exactly this. Checking out at AP is a fucking ordeal. Expect it to take 30 minutes at least, with the shop girl carefully adding up each thing, writing down the price, showing it to you on a calculator, then swiping your card and having you sign for everything (probably while showing you the price yet again). And even if you're a foreigner they go through the whole 1 payment or multiple payments. Then they spend forever rewrapping each item individually in clear bags, then wrapping it all in the pink bag. I don't know how you could sit through that whole thing and not once double check or question the price.

I've never checked out at AP but I've shopped at Pierrot and CC and it didn't take that long. The shop girls spent more time chatting with me than wrapping everything up. It might have taken so long because it was a credit card transaction, I did that once and jesus never again. CC was even faster than Pierrot, even when they spent a good while wrapping shoes up.

CC is lightning fast. They got shit to do so they want you in and out. It's not representative of most shops. Sometimes AP can go faster if there are multiple people working and the store is dead, so one can do the transaction and the other the wrapping.

I guess I wouldn't have guessed before experiencing it either. Sometimes I'll go for a release and spend 2 hours just buying one dress. I think a close contender in slowness is Swimmer because they have to pick the items from all over the store. Lots of other shops in Laforet and Shibuya 109 can be slow but none seems to have as intense of a check out experience as AP.

They behave exactly the same as Liz Lisa and other places I've shopped at. Not sure where you're shopping, but generally they find you a fresh item from the back, remove tags, package it all, let you choose your bag, add everything on a calculator, let you know if you need to go elsewhere for tax refund or request your passports to give you tax free. Then once they have all that done, they can charge you. Generally this is done by two people, it's true for anywhere I've shopped that I can get a point card. I don't know Anon, I'm glad they take their time, I love how everything is wrapped like a present. They even give you plastic covers for when you get a paper shopping bag and it's raining out.

Maybe it's because I live in Japan so they don't have to go through all of the duty-free and tax refund things? The staff usually knows I live here because it's like the third question they ask me. Checkout has never taken me more than five-ten min if they're busy or they're doing extra stuff like applying discounts. I love how efficient they always are, without making you feel like you're being rushed and making sure everything leaves their hands in good condition.

Just so people know I'm not trying to start arguments, it's just facinating to me how different our experiences have been. Laforet is one of my favorite places to shop because of how friendly all the shops I've been to are.

That's probably part of it. The whole passport thing does add a solid 10-15 minutes to any checkout because they're filling in forms while your goods are getting wrapped up. I have noticed that they'll skip that if there's multiple people in the store, and if you're trying on/buying multiple things they start gathering the fresh inventory from the back while you're still shopping when everything's held at checkout.

Completely agree with you on the friendliness of Laforet.

>>9679088
Sorry to hear about your friend's cat. Manufacturing wise, I don't know which places could turn around a one off acrylic item in under a month plus you'd need to factor in how long the art might possibly take.

Maybe a custom shrinky dink commission might be faster?

Moitie update:

KERASHOP MARIA and Atelier Pierrot are accepting reservations on behalf of Moitie on items in pic related. Though, I don't see any of the items in either of their web shop.

Moitie's official Facebook uploaded some pictures from their photoshoot yesterday. Moitie has also opened an official Greek Twitter (it's all Greek to me).

Moreover, Moi dix Mois' Twitter had this message from Mana himself:
"今日は朝から青い薔薇と燭台…光射す煌めき…

Agree. I found her story so fishy because I've been here for ages, and when you're used to customer service in Japan, eternal bowing and smiles and greetings with detailed explanations on how to use and care for the stuff you've bought, it's kind of jarring to shop overseas and be confronted with surly shop staff who resent customers for having to do their jobs, or the complete opposite, the unprofessional kind who lack boundaries and start whining at customers about their personal life, or give unwanted advice or lowkey sexually harass you and shit.

Her story just doesn't add up. That, or she is actually a complete moron.

Not saying that there aren't shop staff in Japan who resent dealing with foreigners for some reason, but they're the exception, not the rule. They're making money after all.

I am one but I wouldn't want you to be stuck with me as default just because I'm the one replying to you at the moment. You could create a throwaway email, make a couple of posts in the artist alley and draw threads with what you're looking for and the price range you're willing to spend and see who replies.

She then shoved the package at me and went back to looking at her phone, completely ignoring me thanking her and saying goodbye.
>later found out this was the owner herself
>the shop is gone now
hm I wonder why

Tell me about it. I was watching Project Runway and one of the girls buys fur, and snooty Tim Gunn is like but we're a cruelty free show uwu. Bitch, you set that girl up last week with her crap wonderwoman costume, and it was rabbit fur, rabbit meat is pretty good in a stew. Discarded crappy fake fur is ultimately much harder on the environment and wildlife.

But I tried to force myself into it plenty of times regardless, the seams and elastic is all on their last legs, on top of it being bodyline.

You tell them, and can even hand them your own bag, your "ecobag" and ask them to put the item in there. If it's really expensive and/or delicate, they'll probably still insist on wrapping some nice paper around it.

>>9679394
It really depends. I've seen items sell within hours of going up, but I've ordered a dress that I had my eye on four months before. If it's something you really want, best go for it as fast as possible.

Thanks! I was so confused because I've never actually seen anyone wearing them, not even in the ita thread, and they don't have an online shop. It looked like an unprofessional outfit with the socalled organizer never being on time and never checking out the fashion show venues until five minutes before the event.

Don't know why the owner/designer puts up with it. It's not normal, it's shitty. I work with a bunch of flips and none of them ever use that excuse or are habitually late.

Her stuff used to show up in the ita thread from time to time when she was more active. I haven't heard anything from her in months until you brought her up. Sometimes I think of her when a sewing newbie makes especially heinous fabric choices, though.

I'm not surprised to hear that her brand is a big ol' mess. If she was really a professional business owner she wouldn't participate in some trashy reality show on a channel nobody watches. That's such a desperate move.

I want to say yes but something about the design and construction looks clunky and awkward in a bad way, like they slapped some bows and scallops on normie boots. They look kinda bad, anon, sorry. Also, paying $28 for boots seems like a bad idea, it probably says a lot about the quality.

I think these could work for casual lolita if you have small feet and slender legs. They’re cute, but this kind of boot can be very unflattering on chunky legs, especially if your skirt goes past the knee.

How is it not relevant, you're paying for something to be produced vs something that already exists (ie all the rabbits they eat in China anyway). Yeah it all takes resources to produce into clothing, but one takes significantly less and is easier to figure out where it's from when the tag just tells you the last place it's been touched.

Help, please?

Sold a dress for very cheap on LM and took a hit shipping it to Guam, in the end made less than 1/3 of what I paid for it. That's totally fine, but now the seller (5 days after she received it) is claiming that there's stains on the dress. She sent photos of the stains, and I see that they are there, but there weren't stains when I sent it. I'm 100% sure of that, but of course I don't have proof (except that they weren't there when I took the sales photos, but I doubt that counts as proof). She was upset because I didn't disclose, and I'm not sure what to do.

In the meantime I sent an email back saying that I was sorry, but that the stains weren't there when I sent the dress, and that perhaps it happened during transit (but I'm not sure how that would have even happened, although this is the ONE time I shipped something without putting it in a ziplock first), and suggested that she carefully launder the dress (and gave her suggestions for laundering, as I've washed the dress before) and said hopefully the stains will come out.

I'm not sure what else to do. I'm worried that if she disputes it or brings it up to LM mods, she'll definitely win. She has more positive feedback than I do, and I don't really have evidence other than my word.

Any gull suggestions?

I said it was free shipping in the US. She haggled with me on price a little, which I was fine with, and then after purchasing said she lived in Guam. She said that it "should be the same price", and that she'd had issues with sellers in the past, but... it wasn't the same price. It was actually almost double the price of shipping within the Continental US. I don't know if my postal worker swindled me or what, but I paid it anyway and didn't even mention it to the buyer.

I really don't want to give a full refund because that means I'd be out about $25 and have a dress that I don't want back in my possession. If it comes down to it, obviously that's what I'll have to do, but... ugh.

If the stains a small black dots, there is your answer. It's most likely mold. She will get rid of it if she soaks it in oxyclean.
Offer her partial refund anyways. You shouldn't shipped it without moisture protection.

It's not small black dots, unfortunately. They're wide orange spots. Honestly it looks like tea stains. I never drank tea in that dress, though, and some of the stains are on the lower back of the bodice.

Thank you. That sounds like the best plan to me, if the stains won't come out. I want to believe she's a good buyer, she does have over 80 positive feedback after all. I'm just very confused, and it's an unfortunate situation for both of us to be in.

All the people I know with a ‘lolita name’ are either men roleplaying as women or weebs roleplaying as kawaii anime girls. There’s not a single Asian person in my comm but a good chunk of our members have Japanese names. It’s pretty cringey.
There’s also a few girls with very common names that add or change something to their name so we can more easily distinguish them, but they all work with what they have and don’t make up something completely new. The people I know who try to keep their lolita account separate from real life stuff only change their surname, not their first name.

I'd ditch the legwear, you can easily wear it with any pink or (off)white legwear, plus it looks like the weird digital print on tights material, which is half-sheer and looks odd on some legs.

It means sometimes you didn't realise there were 3 zeros instead of two because they all blend together at the end of a tag.

Admittedly this kind of thing happened a few times to me in japan, i'd have to pause and think wait is this 10 dollars or 100 (especially at the beginning of my trip, since i had just been in korea for a couple weeks beforehand where x000 roughly exchanges to x dollars, instead of x00 to x) but keyword here is THINK.

The correct exchange should literally click on a couple of seconds of thought, and anyone going overseas should know to double check manually or check with a friend especially if it seems to good to be true.

KE is quite possibly retarded for having looked at the tag so many god damn times and not realised, honestly i think she's lying or hiding something about the story. Perhaps something sinister, since she's trying to play the innocently ignorant angle so hard. (oh my god haha i'm so ~silly~ and ~unobservant~ i accidentally bought a $1500 dress)

I suspect this too. She was told that trying it on in the store wasn't okay, but fuck the rules, she has pink hair! so she "bought" it to try it on and then returned it when surprise! it didn't fit around her implants. And then she got offended when the shopgirls were carefully looking it over for any sign of damage, when that's just the logical thing to do when someone returns a dress that clearly didn't fit them.

Not that we need more musicians , but I'd like to see more lolitas working in the industry too - seeing people like Nana Kitade during my babbylita years makes the fashion seem more of a subculture to me.

I think that if I were to be a musician, I'd rather write songs based on my personal experiences, like most artists do, and keep my Lolita identity mostly separate. I like Lolita lifestyle aspects, but I'd never try to shoehorn the fashion into my work , let alone perform in it. My brand is too precious to handle sweating on stage.

For most kitchen chores, no, but I guess it really depends on what you're doing and how you're likely to get dirty.

I messed up when I made a simple apron, not only did it not cover my sides, it didn't fully cover my front either. But when washing up, cooking, chopping things, even while cooking hot bubbly things, you're far more likely splash yourself on the front or your arms than the sides of your dress, so I used my messed up funky apron for ages with no problems. So you should be pretty much all right with the heart apron. The only practical change I'd actually suggest is to add a couple of patch pockets to put a handtowel in one so you can always wipe your hands, and whatever you need in the other, and maybe keep the ruffles short so they don't flop into whatever you're doing.

I'm trying to think of a situation where the sides of your dress need protecting, but unless you're clumsy and always doing pirouttes while you do your chores, whatever gets the sides of your dress dirty is likely to get your sleeves and a good part of you dirty too, in which case you're better off changing into non lolita old clothes entirely.

Perhaps "identity" was the wrong word for anon to use. I was under the impression that a lot of lolitas keep the hobby seperate from the rest of their lives. My work colleagues and most of my family don't know i'm a lolita and I use a pseudonym for social media. It just makes life simpler.

Wait, doesn’t everyone?
Seriously though, yeah it’s mostly the front that needs to be protected. I want to make an apron that wraps around at least 3/4ths of the skirt because I’m a clumsy mess who will sidestep into all sorts of things, but I wasn’t sure if there’s a similar risk from the waist up. Probably not. The pockets are a good tip.

Is it popular among efamous lolitas to shit on the community as a whole?
Seriously do people think that using their popularity to convince people that comms aren't worth bothering with is going to make them better? There are people holding local comms together by a thread because it's so trendy to whinge and shit on them. Is it for attention or what?

>>	Anonymous Sun Nov 5 15:28:01 2017 No.9682144 >>9682142 How does that help with being efamous/popular? If anything, the support of a local comm makes you more efamous. It's more likely their comm just sucks or is not worth bothering with, as is the case with many comms.

Or they've gotten popular by hating on *elitist* BRANDWHORE snobs!!! from the comm.
Or they've done shit in the past that has them banned/shunned from the comm.
Etc.

Some comms suck, but in my opinion, it's generally the people who rage quit or get kicked/pushed out of comms that really suck.

I agree it’s kind of weird. Like maybe if you work with shitty teenagers or in a super conservative area where they’re likely to think anyone outside the norm is a witch I could understand wanting to keep it on the downlow, but in general I feel that keeping it some kind of secret just makes it seem suspicious and wrong to outsiders. People are more likely to think it’s something unsavoury if you’re going out of your way to hide it and use a pseudonym.
My family, non-lolita friends and some coworkers know I wear lolita and some even follow me on IG. They’re used to me wearing dresses and lolita is just a few steps up from that. Most of my coworkers don’t give a damn what I do in my private life, but I suspect that if I started sneaking around and acting like it’s some big secret their ears would perk up and they’d suddenly be a lot more interested. If you act like something is shameful people will pick up on that.

>>9682142

i respect your opinion but if i was a musician i wouldnt be afraid to perform in lolita. how much do you fucking sweat, washing clothes is a thing that exists and its not a huge deal if you wear the fashion regularly. do you also not wear lolita in the summer? are you one of those people that roleplays and changes their name in lolita? because thats fucking weird dude.

I wear the fashion regularly but it's not appropriate for the professional environment I work in so I wear it on my days off and weekends, there's nothing wrong in that, not everybody aims to be a lifestyler.

>>9682153
I get your point anon, I'm not ashamed of my hobby but I'm sure a lot of people don't share their hobbies with their colleagues. Plus I look young for my age so most of my colleagues and wider family treat me like I'm younger so why give them more ammo? After all it's pretty well established that lolita can be misconstrued by people who don't have a clue.

I want to think of more concrete ways to kick them out of the lolita community. I'm one of the people who did go to the police about them (one of the few I reckon) but nothing came from it due to lack of proof. I'm still angry about it. But it's hard because I'm not in the US. I think it would be easier for someone in the Houston comms. This is what I've thought of for now though:
>Contact location for AM to inform them of the debt to George R. Brown location
>Contact brands sold at Shop in Wonderland
>Contact magazines (Kera and Eternita have worked with them in the past)

Having a proper 'persona' is kind of weird, but what about interaction that's mainly internet based?

I have a separate fb account with no personal info on it & a nickname for online jfash discussion/selling groups because I don't want to interact with random people I've never met with my actual account. Used that account to get in touch with the comm where I live through their fb group. I've just met them for the first time, I got along with them really well and will be seeing them again soon. A few of them have added me as a friend, but I feel like it might be a bit rude to be interacting with them on a 'throwaway' account, especially considering I do actually want to become friends with them. Am I right in thinking that? What would be a graceful way to handle this situation?

I've been interested in lolita for quite some time and I've been recently lurking /cgl/ for quite some months now (also read the sticky too, hellolace is dead though) and I have absolutely no clue what to do and what not to do.
Is MyLolitaDress good? They have some dresses I like but one guide said they do replicas and I'm not sure if that's really bad or not.
I'm not familiar with the board at all too (even though I've been on 4chan for quite some time) so excuse me if I'm not posting in the correct place.

mylolitadress is primarily a taobao reseller, so while they sell a lot of taobao brand items there's some replicas there too. replicas of brand prints are very frowned upon, but shoe/bag replicas are more of a grey area. do what you're comfortable with. Basically, they're an ok site if you don't want to order from taobao directly and are happy to pay a bit more (check the taobao thread for how to do that if you're interested, theres a lot of good beginner options on there) - but as with any store, look up reviews online and make a decision for yourself if you'd like to buy from there

Hi lurkerchan I'll give you a little informative post.

On CGL: we don't have spoilers and we're a blue board. It's discouraged to make a thread of just yourself so browse the catalog before you start something new.

On Lolita: generally speaking you'll get the best bang for your buck by buying used, either through the major western markets (facebook and lacemarket) or overseas (closetchild, wunderwelt, takoyaki co, mbok auctions and yahoo japan auctions). Bodyline is commonly reccomended for newbies but it's in a bad place right now and I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. Taobao is fine too but it's a whole other can of worms, you'll need to use a shopping service or forwarder. It's a little scary the first time but pretty straightforward.

As for resources online I'd encourage you to check out fyeahlolita, the intro post of "the lolita guidebook" on tumblr, and just browse around.

Drop your email and I'd be happy to answer other questions and talk about styles.

>>	Anonymous Sun Nov 5 20:23:54 2017 No.9682463 >>9682401 It's not worth paying that much for taobao and prints are more difficult for new people. Just get something simple from lacemarket, closet child or wunderwelt

nayrt, but I do have seperate FB for lolita and work.

If potential employers google my real name and my personal “work” email, they’ll get the FB account that has more “responsible grown up” stuff, like productivity and mealprep stuff. I don’t hide my lolita, I simply don’t say that I was at a lolita party, just a party, and I don’t post the brand rundown, or that my outfit cost $$$$.

The lolita FB exists for other lolitas to have something that isn’t my real name to tag and share. On that one I post goofy doodles and whatever stuff might interest that group of friends. That way my “serious” FB doesn’t get clogged up with too many party posts or too much otaku content.

Life would be simpler if employers didn’t do a quick-n-dirty google and then make snap judgements based on ten girls posting the same party resulting in a timeline that’s party all the way down, but they do, so it’s easier to keep that seperate and make it easier for them the find the parts of my life that are nicely organised and neat.

It's easier to brain when you realise both accounts are equally fake, and both accounts are equally real. I'm a real person, but I'm not my FB account. I interact with people on both accounts equally sincerely and mostly post on FB according to which specific person I think is interested in stuff.

Having two accounts is mostly window dressing so other people can make a quick snap judgement like “oh this person seems to have her shit together and is hireable, she also likes fancy dressup parties”, and “oh this lolita is really into Angelic Pretty but also sometimes wears Moitie, I’ll let her join the local comm”.

I’ll caveat this by saying the person who originally spoke of a “lolita persona” seems dodgy af though. Having a work FB seem totally logical even if you’re not a lolita. Having a second personality just for lolita does not seem logical or rational at all.

Has the dress arrived yet? As a seller, I wait till the buyer let's me know everything went smoothly on their end before leaving feedback. That way I know the dealings are 100% done.
