Thanks for the links. But I'm not sure how you would expect anyone to know this off the top of their head. I just read this thread, which has been kind of dead, and fairy kei tips. Not sure what I would need to do to stop being "new".

I'm on the fence about buying Listen Flavor. It seems like their pastel shirts and Dagan Ronpa merchandise sells well, but it doesn't seems like the rest of their product is easy to move. I'm afraid if I buy one I won't be able to get rid of the pieces I don't want.

yeah, the link for the lp isn't up yet, that's gonna be monday.

for reselling it depends on where you sell it. I think if I get stuff I don't want, I should be able to resell stuff easily in my local alt selling group. sell your stuff to people who don't know the style or brand yet, and they should be easier in buying.

You should be fine, I seem to fit ok with 65cm waist and 88cm hips.

I’m not sure if I’m on the right topic to ask this question so please re-direct me if I’m in the wrong place.

I want to start making some fairy-kei and menhera designs but I don’t know if the market is too saturated or not or what kinds of merch people want to buy. Are there any specific accessories or clothing items that you guys would want to see being sold in either style? These are just some quick fairy-kei designs I made a while back to see if I could—I can go more detailed. I’m not sure if shirts are the right way to go or if anyone would be interested in things like posters, etc. Any advice will help.

Thanks for the response. :)

I’ve been following menhera for a while so I may head in that direction too. It’s talked about more but then again, its following still seems small so I’m not sure if it’s worth making merch for especially if it stays that way. On the other hand, fairy kei seems to be slowly fading in popularity. Do you or anyone else have any opinions on the best direction to go for making designs in the current state of J-fashion/kawaii merch?

>> No.9738330

>>9738328
menhera is 'talked' about more in general but it's mostly people who have no idea what menhera is either a) calling things that aren't menhera, menhera, or b) being 'offended' by menhera because they don't know what menhera is. Like you said, true menhera isn't really that popular. That said, I've sold a lot of menhera peices to general yumekawaii, lolita, fairy kei, and normies in the medical proffession or who have chronic illness so YMMV

Fairy key stuff is so accessible and goes with everything so I don't think it's necessarily something to avoid.

tldr ignore trends, make what you like

I like these shirts! I don't care about menhera though.

I'm more concerned about pricing. what will you price them at? where are you located?

I'm looking for more styles like this, but it's so difficult to find nice designs (at least here in europe).

It doesn't really have an own name, they just call it "china girl" in Japan so people started using China Kei instead.

It's partially promotion as >>9748070 pointed out. You can make anything look good if you set up your photography right, and you have the right models to promote your work. It's an image.

Also, sales. If you've already sold over 2,000 products then people can assume that other people like it. Many people like to buy what they assume other people like. All you can do it try to support other artists you like, and don't support artists you do not like.

ManiaQ's website has been down for a few months. Any idea if it'll ever come back? FickleWish was buying stuff from them but seems like nobody else was. Sad to see people forgetting the older fk shops.

tl;dr I'm an artist/designer thinking about starting a little business, so this is a bit of market research. Will probably take 5 minutes max to answer. I'll post this in a few other generals but other than that I'm really not sure where to go with this, I don't have a tumblr appropriate for posting this. S-so I'd appreciate it greatly if you answered and shared it somewhere. All the results of course are sent to the university of Tel Aviv etc.

Guys, I need help.
My much younger sibling went to Japan and just came back. They are a really good person and I asked for some doki doki badges or pins or a pendent to wear with normie wear (in support of j-fashion / japanese pop art) and they were so kind as to get me this dress instead.

There's only one problem...
I am a classic moldy-old couch lolita who wears mostly that color palette (browns, creams, dusty pinks) so... How... How do I coord this? I want to make it work, my sibling was so generous that I absolutely need to learn / figure out how to wear this. Would my petal pinks and fern greens still work with this? Besides Lolita, most of my normie gear is semi-mori or otome in shape and cut; I normally wear t-shirt / sack dresses and otks with mary janes.

(btw my partner refers to this dress as "the full doki")

give it to me


jk

are you trying to wear it as a fairy kei outfit, or just wanting general advice on how to style it? if you don't normally wear fairy kei I'd recommend

>black leather/bomber jacket
>black flowy pants or skirt
>black lace up boots

and then accessorize it with whatever pink/green things you have

Mostly I was thinking of trying not to re-create the full deco / fairy kei look just because I'm a bit on the older side (nobody wants a Christmas cake after the 25th) and without prior experience I'm afraid of failing hard.

I have a long (like 23" inches) black underskirt with black chiffon trim that I use with literally only one Lolita dress... Do you think I could pair it with this?

(p.s. I know a lot of people would go crazy over this, which is why I want to try my best to make it work)

>> No.9839362

>>9839096
you could go really casual with it if you want without being loud. wear black tights or leggings underneath (or depending on how long it is, you yould even go with plain black OTK), wear black or matching pink cute heels and maybe some black or pink headwear (maybe a scarf?) and/or bracelets.

I don't think classic lolita colors will work well, your safest bet is plain black.

Tried to use the coupon posted on Instagram for the Fancy Surprise shop. It didn't go through then the page went to PayPal, tried to go back but cart was empty. I got an email for my order but was never charged. Roughly translates to wait for another email for a transfer method and formal amount of money later. Not sure what to do? She doesn't speak English too. Maybe ask if coupon can be applied or just try to tell her to cancel it?

You look pretty good, and the way the bottom of your wig matches the unicorn print is super cute. Honest critique? Well, if I'm 100% honest, I don't like the bright yellow on the little puff ball thing sitting on your hip. I'm not feeling the bunny ears either. I like the bow, but maybe save the ears for a different outfit. That's all I have to say. Maybe change out the puff ball thing and bunny ears for a chunkier necklace?

Correction. Balloon thing, not puff ball thing. I don't like the bright yellow on the balloon thing.
