Im not really sure where this belongs but basically I will be traveling to France and London alone and I am wondering if it would be a stupid idea to wear Lolita during it.

In particular I am dying to get some beautiful photos in a gothic coord with the Notre Dame and at the Palace of Versailles, but im scared of making myself a target too.

I would highly suggest going to an optometrist before getting contacts, especially circle lenses. You'll need to make sure your eyes are even suitable for contacts. Poorly fitted contacts can cause serious damage.

Is there a way to know when bodyline restocks shoes? I want a pair of those damn boots they've had for years, but they're out in the color and size I want. I know they've been especially wacky with their site lately so I'm sure that's affecting restocks. Probably, I don't know. I just want those damn boots.

People are probably less likely to give you shit at crowded, touristy places because of all the people there. Be careful of pickpockets, though. Also idk if you can wear lolita to Versailles because they've been known to kick out people who they think are wearing costumes. It might be better to dress down. Also if you're having pictures taken of yourself in attention-grabbing clothes in a touristy area, prepare to have your picture taken by a shitload of random strangers who think you're fair game since you're posing anyway or even part of the attraction. When I was at the Eiffel Tower with my bf I asked him to take a picture of me with it in the background and suddenly a huge group of Indian people crowded around us to take my picture, too. I wasn't even wearing lolita, just a casual JM OP.

Whenever I visit London, I wear lolita or otome and it's always pretty chill. People won't ask you for photos if you're by yourself, I think. There's probably going to be a few people who stare and take photos, but I've been in ott sweet before and the most people do is stare on the street and try and ignore you on the metro. Just make sure you don't wear a rucksack because you might get pickpocketed if you're obviously a tourist. Unless it's like one of the bunny bags with the zips on the inside.

This feels really dumb to ask, but at the same time...

Is it okay to post otome coords in CoF? I know it's not lolita in skirt styling, but the group allows ouji/aristo which are sibling fashions to lolita, so of course otome is allowed right? But then there's all the BS that happened to Fanny so I'm unsure. I also do lolita, but sometimes I put together an otome outfit I absolutely love and like to think would be well recieved.

Fanny Rosie stopped tagging her coords as lolita after she was nitpicked by stupid fucks who think lolita has to be a very specific thing, that has nothing to do with otome and everything to do with loudmouthed idiots who think their (uneducated) opinion is law.
If your coord has an aesthetic that borderlines as either otome or lolita I think it's fine to post to COF, otherwise it'd probably be better to share on another platform.

I'm a London lolita, and I don't live in a particularly nice area. The "worst" reactions I've had are heckling and catcalling near pubs, one guy followed me and a friend for a few minutes asking if we were from New York, and a smoking teen asked me if I was cosplaying Dorothy while I was wearing red. Most of the interactions I have are nice, like the time the guy at the local kebab place offered me my burger for free if he could take a pic of my skirt to show his wife.

I've worn lolita almost every time I've gone out for the past 6 months. I get more weird looks, but I get catcalled more in normie clothes. Honestly, I don't know why there's such a meme about London being horribly unsafe, I feel more comfortable here than I do in American cities.

Anonymous Tue Jan 9 06:14:27 2018 No.9746826

>>9746816
It depends on the width of the fabric, fabric print and the type of dress you want to make. I've been able to squeeze a simple princess seamed JSK with 3x waist rectangle skirt (no waist ties) out of 2 meters of 1.40m wide solid colour fabric, but in general you'd want more than that.

All of these can add to how much fabric you need:
>ruffles
>tiers
>waist ties
>shirring
>princess/bell sleeves

Also if your fabric has a pattern or print you might not be able to arrange your pattern pieces as efficiently which means you need extra fabric.

TL;DR somewhere between 2.5m-4m depending on the dress

Lurker here with some questions to satisfy my curiosity:

How much do you think your wardrobe has cost you?

What do you do for a living? How much do you earn?

How does your fashion fit into real life? Like, do you wear this stuff to the grocery store, to work, to the doctor, etc? Or do you have "normal" clothes for that sort of stuff?

>How much do you think your wardrobe has cost you?
Oh god, I'm afraid to consider this. I'm not quite sure because I've been into it for so long, but it's easily more than 30k USD.
>What do you do for a living? How much do you earn?
I'm an independent translator and can easily make about $100 per client.
>How does your fashion fit into real life? Like, do you wear this stuff to the grocery store, to work, to the doctor, etc? Or do you have "normal" clothes for that sort of stuff?
I wear it daily, everywhere, indoors too. I only wear "normal" clothes to exercise and sleep.
>How much time does your wardrobe take from your day/week? How much maintenance does it require between repairs, cleaning, steaming/ironing, etc.?
Repairs are rare as is ironing, I take good care of my clothes. I'd estimate that I dedicate about 10+ hours per week to hand washing.
>Do you consider this a hobby or a lifestyle?
It's definitely a lifestyle for me.
>Will there ever come a time that you disconnect from this lifestyle?
Maybe one day, I can't know what future me will decide to do. I've been into it for 10 years and still going strong, I'll probably drop it when and if it doesn't make me happy anymore. As I am right now though, I love it so much that I want to be buried in my favorite coord, and possibly pull a Pharaoh burial and take my entire wardrobe six feet under with me.

Paris had BTSSB and has AP so its probably not super strange. However i would beware of wearing heels as a lot of places in europe have cobblestone/brick roads and sidewalks which can be a bitch even in normie shoes, assuming you're not use to it.

Cant speak for france but coming from Germany and basically living in the turkish area of my big city, the most ive gotten were stares and most were directed at my bodyline heels. Im sure they've also made comments but they werent in german or english so i didnt notice. Most meet ups here are in public places and tourist attractions.

Unlike what others said, if youre wearing a sweet coord i think you're less likely to be pick pocketed unless youre bag doesnt zip and your phone/wallet is in view because more eyes will probably be on you vs old people who keep their wallet in their back pocket.

Is there a good website out there for organizing and looking at your wardrobe through images? I don't know how to phrase this well. I know I could whip up a collage in Photoshop, but there has to be a website out there for this function.

I remember in a dream dress thread or two ago a girl had some website she took a screenshot of to demonstrate her dresses she'd obtained but she never said what it was. Doesn't have to be that site, I'm just looking for anything.

Because everything in GosuRori was perfectly Lolita and not ita at all, right? Very few brand pieces use circles skirts in construction. Circle skirts drape differently and tend to look more rockabilly/retro.
>>9747343
I will concede that they can be PASSABLE with gathering if it's a solid. Prints look fucking retarded on circle cuts though because the nature of the cut means that the pattern will be upside down, sideways or angled funny on 90% of the skirt.

>How much do you think your wardrobe has cost you?
I still have a small wardrobe and not a lot of pieces, but in the 400-500 euro range
>What do you do for a living? How much do you earn?
I'm a student and earn fuck all (living on benefits, student loan and odd jobs), I finance purchases from savings+gifted money (grandparents are still alive and are supportive of the fashion)
>How does your fashion fit into real life? Like, do you wear this stuff to the grocery store, to work, to the doctor, etc? Or do you have "normal" clothes for that sort of stuff?
worn it to uni previously but I'm too lazy to go all daily. I do have a sizeable normie wardrobe, but there's more weeby, j-fashy shit creeping in every year
>How much time does your wardrobe take from your day/week? How much maintenance does it require between repairs, cleaning, steaming/ironing, etc?
barely any. most dresses don't need frequent washing as I live in a cold country, and most things are machine washable as long as it's careful. I've only really had a few buttons break on a blouse which I've yet to bother dealing with - it was fine for a while since my dress just covered the missing one, but now another one broke (and I do mean broke, not came off), so I need to deal with that soon.
>Do you consider this a hobby or a lifestyle?
a bit of both I guess? I do definitely identify with this more than I do with a number of my hobbies, but at the same time I haven't fully drank the kool aid, so to speak. I was never hugely into cute clothes and dressing nicely until I found this, so I suppose it's also a form of self-expression.
>Will there ever come a time that you disconnect from this hobby/lifestyle?
I really have no idea, but I kind of hope not? I've learned a lot about myself, my style, my likes and dislikes with lolita, and I'd be kinda sad to lose that.

what do you mean cute and tiny? i think the key to looking most tiny is 1. being skinny and 2. wearing clothes that actually fit you (aka not being skin tight, and you're not stuffed into them)
Having big and cute hair, whether its natural or not can also make your body look smaller, and makeup that enlarges your eyes makes your head look smaller.

I wear it when I go out for dinner, but don't wear it to work because I get covered in threads and don't really interact with anyone anyway. I wear it on dates and to my weekly class though.

I usually just throw my stuff in the washing machine lol. The dresses that don't go in the washing machine usually don't get much casual wear, so I hand wash those after I wear them.

I'm a student and I work at Walmart in the jewelry department. I live at home with my parents for now, so no bills (school is completely covered and my car is also paid off) means I have all my money for myself.
>How does your fashion fit into real life? Like, do you wear this stuff to the grocery store, to work, to the doctor, etc? Or do you have "normal" clothes for that sort of stuff?
It's a mix - I have casual lolita coords I wear to go grocery shopping or out in town. I have fancier coords for hanging with friends, going to some place nice, or to class. But I am starting to get into larme kei for some nice normie clothing to wear on lazy days.
>How much time does your wardrobe take from your day/week? How much maintenance does it require between repairs, cleaning, steaming/ironing, etc?
None. I keep my clothing clean and I haven't worn it enough lately to warrant any washing, but if I did need to do so, I'd take it to a cleaners instead.
>Do you consider this a hobby or a lifestyle?
Eh, it's a bit of both. I don't do it all the time, so I wouldn't consider it a lifestyle, but I still invest enough time, money, and love into it for it to be bigger than just a simple hobby.

The question is how much your wardrobe has cost you. A lot of people sell a dress before they buy a new one, so they don't really use much extra money. I also machine wash all of my lolita clothes, guess what? My washing machine isn't from the 20s and has options for delicates and wool.

Thanks for the recommendations - honestly I was so disatisfied with those that I tried googling a bunch of different phrases and came across a normie website called Closet Space that's honestly working amazing. I highly recommend it if anyone else is wanting a website to organize your wardrobe visually and also it lets you put together outfits and save them. Also catagorizes them by what type of item they are. A bit annoying in how many details it requires, you can't just pop down images, but I'm really happy with it.

I ordered the astronomical clock underbust jsk once from them and I found it pretty poor even for the price I paid- I used a shopping service to buy from the taobao store so I paid close to the most basic price.
The lining of the dress could be seen as it was uneven and longer than the actual skirt in places. The buttons felt loose and the lace wasn't the best quality. The fabric was kinda smooth and strange feeling, I hadn't felt anything like it. I sold it on after I got it.
I've seen people with some more decent pieces I suppose so it might be a quality control issue they have.

In addition to anons advice about how to handle: soak them pits in white vinegar. Before I discovered clinical deodorant I had a problem with BO smell sticking to thick fabric due to my caked on layered on deodorant coming off on the clothes. Soaking in vinegar for several hours saved my clothes.

Can't believe I made it through my teens without clinical strength deodorant being available in every store. God bless this modern age we live in.

Are there any other dresses that brands have said they would never rerelease other than AP with Puppet Circus? Or maybe they just said screen printing on velvet in general if I'm recalling right. I know there's lots of very high demand dresses out there but I'm unsure if there's ever been word from the brands on "oh we're considering it" or dismissing the possibility, etc. Like how JetJ a year aor two go said they were considering rereleasing Dragon-chan when asked then eventually did so. And the Moitie FB stated that they are aware of Iron Gate's high resell value and are looking into the possibility. Were there any others?

I'm not sure about particulars since I only have worn extensions personally. However, there are hairsprays that can only be removed by a shampoo with sodium laureth sulfate. There are things that can't be removed by the detergent/surfactant agent in many specialty wig and extension shampoos or "sulfate-free" shampoos. People use to use a lot more hairspray back in the day.

You can also consider switching to a different hairspray if that solves the problem. I don't know that it will help, that's just what I know concerning hair spray and shampoo.

what SS did you use? Many use a 10% item fee, so lets say around $8, plus tax may add on a few extra dollars. it also depends on what method of shipping you use. DHL and EMS are going to be the most expensive, probably around $30-$40 even for just a JSK.

when I buy second hand from japan, I only use SAL small packet. I also add in some small accessories and cheap cutsews and socks that I know would cost at least double in the western market to make the shipping worthwhile.

I've used SpreeNow a couple of times now and what I've done is, place an order, takes a day or two to process it, you pay for the items (not including the shipping), takes a couple of days for them to receive it, then you choose your shipping option and pay for shipping then, then they ship it out. Once they the receive your items, they'll hold it until you pay for shipping. I'll usually do a big order to make it worth a shipping, since they are a bit pricey. But it's completely worth it. It was super easier and they have pretty good English. So if you have any questions while ordering, just use the chat system and they usually response in a couple of hours. Just remember the time zones!

>EMS
Origin country's local post website.
For Japan it would be http://www.post.japanpost.jp/cgi-charge/index.php?lang=_en
For China http://www.ems.com.cn/serviceguide/zifeichaxun/e_zi_fei_cha_xun.html
Similarly for your local post, if you want to send something yourself.
I have found that it's often the cheapest option for international shipping.

>DHL
Now, that gets complicated. First of all, most of the time they will use volumetric weight (i.e. size of the package converted to an abstract weight).
If you order light things like clothes or wigs, volumetric will often be much higher.
For my package, according to my Chinese SS:
>Real weight is 3.55kg, volumetric weight is 4.1kg
5 wigs, 8 wig caps, 100 wig clips = 2 kg;
some leather items with metal parts, and a bunch of panties = almost a kg;
the rest is packaging of individual items and the whole box.

As for the price, I'm clueless. I paid ~$60 which would match what the calculator on SS's website said, but they might have special rates with DHL.
Bhiner got a calculator here: https://www.bhiner.com/costCalculator
BaseTao: http://www.basetao.com/page.php?action=estimates
Both look pretty accurate for DHL.
YOYbuy: http://www.yoybuy.com/en/service/tools/costestimation.html
Here the price is 25% higher, but they also show that it's discounted.
And from TaobaoRing:
>For airmail fee of big parcels weigh more than 2KG or DHL fee or Aramex fee, please consult us for shipping fee, because fuel charge may change every month, so we do not set them fixed in our calculator.
There's a DHL's calculator, but the prices reported are stupidly high: https://ratequote.dhl-usa.com/
That makes me believe that they offer special rates for companies that ship often.

A normal blouse with a matching colour like in pic related.
If you go with a very detailed blouse, it'll easily become too much, like the blouse and JSK are fighting for attention.
And if you do everything wa style (geta, kimono sleeves, traditional japanese hairstyle etc.) it can look like you are cosplaying some sort of weeby RPG character.

This might sound stupid, but would a hair dryer work?? Or you could be them in the boiler room, if you have one. In the winter, my mum would put our wet clothes on the airing horse in the kitchen/dining room, as we never had a dryer, so you don't need bright sunlight. If your house isn't big enough for that, do as the japs do and hang them in your bathroom

>a place with bright sunlight to hang my clothes to dry
Do not hang your clothes in sunlight unless they're white, they'll fade. I hang my frills on their hangers in a dim (but aired) room, usually with a plastic tub or mat right below them so they don't wet the floor, and just leave them hanging overnight until they dry. It takes longer during the winter obviously but it does the work.

Just get a collapsable clothing rack and hand them up inside. Or lay flat to dry on carpet if the item needs to keep a certain shape/is quick to wrinkle. I never dry my clothing, because it's good for longevity. I live in a cold climate though so even on humid days it doesn't take too long to dry. In winter, even heavy dresses take less than a day to dry because it's so dry inside.

I don't think I've seen anyone wear berets with headbows on headbands, if that's what you mean; wearing them with bows on clips is definitely done though.

>>9758485
It might be a bit too short, depending on your proportions. I'm 5'4" and 90cm dresses hit me right at the knee, so 80cm would be uncomfortably short (I prefer my dresses to be longer though so it could be personal preference too).
I can't tell you if you're going to look dumb, you might not, just keep it mind that will likely be short on you.
