Lolita Guidebook
http://thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/
Cold weather gulls, how do you dress up for the winter? Any favorite accessories? I'm loving the chance tow ear my heavier fabrics.
>lotsa layered tights
>long sleeved OP's
>fuzzy berets
Nothing too special as far as accessories are concerned, tho.
One of my friends is pissed at me because my outfit lineup for an upcoming con is all rare brand, so now she doesn't want to wear Lolita with me. It's really obnoxious because she actually has Cat's Tea Party and Puppet Circus, but refuses to ever wear them (neither have even been tried on despite having them both for over a year) on the grounds that they might get damaged. Now she's making nameless FB posts bitching about how easy it was for me to "replace" her as my con buddy. She's not being replaced, the other girl was always going to hang out with us, we just decided to twin after she left our con trio. How do you guys deal with con drama and weird jealousy that doesn't even make sense?
>>8722656
She's not worth your time if she's seriously worried that you're gonna ~outshine~ her with your outfits. These kind of people make me wonder if they're in lolita for the right reasons (to wear the fucking clothes) or if they are more interested in status and popularity.
Be frank with her and tell her she's being petty and selfish by trying to discourage you from wearing what you want. You have no business pandering to her with your outfits.
>Cute boots
>Fleece tights
>Adorable gloves
>Alpacasso earmuffs
>>8722656
Anon, are you sure she's your friend? Don't mess around with people like that, they'll just bring you down. Confront her about the issue directly, or distance yourself, or both.
What is going on in lolita sales in english with some girl selling her friend's 'stollen' items? Trust no bitch it seems.
>>8722752
Comment on the post saying how horrible it is that someone is replacing her like that and ask if she has talked to them directly and told them how she feels lol.
>>8722904
She posted caps. She stayed with her friend for a month, but some lolita items (brand accessories and such) wouldn't fit in her bags so her friend said she'd ship them but never did. Now they've appeared in her friend's closet cleaning post.
>>8722904
ban that cunt, what the fuck. how could she think she could get away with this when all prior discussion of the items was archived online?
>>8722918
When I read THIS message, my jaw dropped. What an absolute fucking bitch.
>>8722926
Holy shit. Does anyone which comm she is from?
>>8722930
Roseville/Sacramento
>>8722939
Though I forgot she just moved to Santa Cruz.
>>8722904
> Reading up on this shit
> Almost bought that Usakumya too
Shiiiiiiiiiiit
>>8722942
Does Santa Cruz have a comm?
>>8722904
Caps? I applied to the group ages ago but my application is still pending.
>>8722904
Why did mods freeze the post where it was being discussed?
>>8722977
because the LSE mods are fucking retarded
>>8722977
They commented saying the info "might" be wrong...
selling stuff and someone wanted to see some additional pictures and ask some more questions about the item I'm selling. I didn't mind but I can see that they've seen my message and it's been all day. idk, not a big deal I guess but I just think it's nice etiquette to message someone back even if you aren't interested; if you don't want to say no I think it's polite to at least say something like "I'll think about it and get back to you later!" or whatever.
>>8722911
That girl is a dumbass. She sold everything together.
I am almost happier she did though, because it'll make the victim's case easier to win
>>8722953
I know how you feel anon
>considered buying the gold crown
>eventually gave up on it because other things popped up right after
I have never been so thankful, even if iirc it was up for a surprisingly cheap price.
more of general jfash thing but i figured i'd have better luck here
can someone who can read japanese help me out? i'm looking at a maniaq jacket and i'm trying to get the measurements but google is giving me a weird translation
the first one is length, last one is sleeve length, i think middle is chest but i'm not sure... google is translating it as "chakuhaba"
着丈:58cm
着幅:51cm
そで丈:65cm
>>8723194
Length: 58cm
Width: 51cm
Sleeve length: 65cm
>>8723200
thank you so much!
Next Monday is the first day of spirit week at school, the overall theme is "crazy day" so I figured I could wear something lolita related.
Thus, I quickly put all my chocolate items together to create a coord that revolves around a "crazy about chocolate" theme. I'd really appreciate concrit on both the coord and idea.
>tfw pinks don't match
PS I probably won't wear the wig.
>>8723240
>wearing lolita on "crazy" day
idk anon, won't that encourage people to think it's costumey?
overall the coord looks pretty cute! i have issues with the browns being off, iirc those shoes are a bit on the cooler side vs the ap chocolate being on the warmer side? but that's just nitpick.
are you going to wear more chocolate accessories to emphasize the "crazy about chocolate" component? Otherwise it feels like the bold fashion will overshadow the chocolate theme for normies.
>>8723269
>won't that encourage people to think it's costumey?
True, sadly I don't bother explaining it to normies anymore. I just wear it whenerver it's "scoailly acceptable" or whenever I feel like it
Fortunately a few people already know what it is.
>it feels like the bold fashion will overshadow the chocolate theme for normies.
I'll look into more chocolate accesories,
>>8723240
I love your coord 100%. Nice to see some more of a 2009-era sweet done right.
I really want to like this but something seems...off.
I just can't tell what!
Chess Emblem goes up this weekend.
>>8723480
I get that the print is supposed to be asymmetrical but they could have at least centered the cameo thing with the roses.
>>8723514
So I have a person in my Comm who blocked me on Facebook about a year ago due to bickering at a holiday party. She complained about me bringing food that was kosher and has talked behind my back laced with anti-semitic remarks. I tried my best to explain that I don't celebrate Christmas, but it wasn't enough. She told me "To find Jesus." She has shown up to meets I have gone since then, but she has never come near me and I've kept my distance from her too.
Yesterday I received a message from my friend who is friends with the blocked person. The blocked person is selling a dress that is my dream dress. The blocked person has never known that the dress she is selling is my dream dress. My friend has said that she would be my proxy to buy the dress for me. Should I go ahead and do this?
>>8723589
oh man this shit looks ugly
>>8723609
Depends on the dress and how badly you want it. Does it turn up on auctions often enough that you can get it from another seller?
>>8723619
The beret and socks are cute but everything else is pretty fug.
>>8723589
I like the cuts but that print is just so busy...
>>8723589
I need that whole series
>>8723622
This is the first time I have seen this for a long time. I have not seen this on mbok or Yahoo Auctions in a year and a half (lost the auction at the last minute).
>>8723648
Do it and then wear it proudly and hope she notices. I bet she would be pissed off and it is damn hilarious to piss off pieces of shit like that. Really, what is she gonna do? Make you sell it back? Lmao
>>8723609
If it were a good price, I would. Fuck that bitch.
>>8723609
do it. you're giving her the money she wants for it.
>>8723480
>>8723525
I don't think it's even sheer chiffon. Looks like bridal tulle that was lopped off with scissors and left unhemmed.
I always thought there was something off about this guy's work, though. I mean the concept is great and it looks good on camera, but I always wondered how well the items would hold up to scrutiny, they always had a slightly slopped, lopsided look about them.
>>8723648
Do it. Absolutely. If you're worried, maybe have your friend agree that she bought it for you as a surprise since she knew it was your dream dress? I mean, is the rest of the comm aware of any drama/animosity between you? Would she look like a crazy harpy if she got pissed if you showed up in her old dress? Either way, I say who cares, it's your dream dress. Go for it.
>>8723806
>I mean, is the rest of the comm aware of any drama/animosity between you?
They know. She can have a temper from time to time. Lolitas are just friends with her cause she's in the Comm though several have gone with her to private meets.
>Would she look like a crazy harpy if she got pissed if you showed up in her old dress?
She would give me daggers whenever I showed up. When I dropped some dollar coins once when we were paying for high tea, she asked if those were shekels. I'm worried she might retaliate.
>>8723609
oh my god, buy it, wait until you have it, then post a photo wearing it being like "hey how did you like my JEW MONEY THAT I USED TO BUY THIS DRESS FROM YOU YOU ANTISEMITIC CUNTRAG"
>>8723819
girl, she has no way of knowing if you bought the dress from her or some random person. buy your dream dress and wear it with pride, fuck that bitch.
>>8723589
This and British Bear have cute designs but the color choices are so busy. I'm on the fence about this one.
>>8723609
Do it, absolutely do it and if you see her at a meet parade by and talk about how many shekels you paid for it.
>>8723589
The red is the only good colorway
>>8723867
Oh god I meant red x blue, that red x wh is burning my retinas
>>8723589
So I see it goes up the 21st, but what time does AP put up new releases on the release days? Is it directly at midnight?
>>8723480
Well, it is off-black
>>8722966
No, not really an active comm of their own. They usually participate in the overall bay area comm and yes this girl is part of that comm...
Does anyone have a non-handmade bustle skirt? How does the bustle attach to the overskirt?
I don't like handmade skirts with the straight seams up the sides, it seems really messy.
When putting in your payment on the AP site (where it asks for your credit card info) which option do you select from this drop down?
>>8723913
I have one. The outer part is sewn up onto the under later at regular intervals with just a few stitches. Some of them are coming undone a bit but it still looks OK
>>8723933
With the drop down expanded. I figure it's not the ones with the numbers, but not sure if I leave it at the first option, or select one of the bottom two.
>>8723935
So is the under layer full all the way around?
How do you wear light colored dresses without being afraid that they will get dirty? This is my biggest hang up about buying sweet lolita pieces.
>>8724052
Full? It is not a stuffed bustle, the top layer is just draped heavily. The underneath is just like any regular jsk
>>8724072
I meant, so there are two layers of fabric?
>>8723825
top kek
>>8723825
TOPKEK
>>8724076
Oh, yeah. The layers are: outer fabric, under fabric, and a lining.
>>8723940
First one. It means paying for the whole thing.
>>8723889
Are you sure they didn't up the photo resolution to show details? Black is so hard to photograph well.
>I wear a lot of kuro, this is my constant struggle.
>>8723880
8pm pst usually. I think AP Japan puts up stuff on Saturdays, around 12-1pm JST? Correct me if I'm wrong
>>8724104
Thank you!
>>8724130
7pm PST (12pm JST) now. Daylight Savings anon!
>>8723589
Which color way will be most popular? And which will be least? Never navigated an AP release by myself, and I want to up my chances of getting something as much as possible.
gulls, when you travel abroad in the winter (>1month, european cold) how many coats and shoes do you pack? I'm trying to pack light, but it's super hard to choose one coat since i wear a mix of darks and lights.
>>8724143
Which country? Some of us have rainy winters before it starts snowing in february
>>8724141
Most popular: Navy
Least popular: Mint (or whatever they're gonna call the skirt's colorway).
>>8724147
sweden! I'll be going in december through feb, so there might be a bit of snow later in my trip.
>>8724148
>Tfw I want the navy
>Never went through an AP bloodbath before.
>>8724105
Was making a joke, but that is a valid point
>>8724185
You need a windbreaker/raincoat(some days the sun will be out and a heavy coat will be too warm), something for heavy snow and semi sturdy boots. Depending on where in Sweden, the wind can get pretty strong. In Stockholm the day temperature is already close to the freezing point.
I recommend you bring a dark coat just because everyone wears dark clothes in Scandinavia
>>8724209
thanks for the good advice! i'll be in stockholm actually, so i think i'll do as you suggest. i was a little worried about bringing a dark coat since i wear a fair amount of otome, but it's probably better to blend in than stick out oddly.
Can anyone answer my question from the last general >>8721901
I am sorry if I sound stupid but I haven't done a bloodbath since 2013 and just want to be prepared to do everything correctly.
>>8723589
I thought I would be sad I'm not able to get it, but now on a closer look I don't like it at all. I'm a sucker for red colorways but this is way too white. Like someone forgot to add the last color.
An the other hand I thought British Bear would be tacky but now I want it...
>>8724238
I only know about the HL bloodbath, but your chances of getting a full-set are terribly low (getting a main-piece is hard enough) and you can't go back to order the accessories since it's forbidden to order them without a main piece for the first few days. You just have to for a few days until you can order them alone.
I missed the British Bear release last weekend, how much of a bloodbath was it? Do you think the prices for the pieces secondhand will be a lot above retail?
>>8724255
Dang. I was hoping my chances for doing everything in one go would be a bit high but not so low. Thanks for all your help anons.
Does anyone know what the detergent you smell on Japanese secondhand clothing is? It's sort of sweet and floral, I really like it.
>>8724282
Laundry scent! They have separate stuff specifically to give it a nice smell when it comes out of the wash.
>>8724256
Have you checked y!A? The dresses have been going for 55k yen and up. It's going to calm down, but yeah, be ready to pay up.
>>8724292
I have, but these are the scalper-chan prices that don't reflect the real going rate. Like, scalpers will buy every AP print and will scalp it to 30,000 yen 1 hours after regardless off the popularity it had before the release. I won't be able to buy it until after christmas or later so I wonder how much it will be once the real lolitas are selling it. I mean, the US release didn't even happen yet. The only way to predict the going rate is how many people wanted it and didn't get it, because I'll have to compete with them. But if most people got their dress, it might be alright. Atm I only now it sold out.
>>8724143
I would pack my ski jacket, raincoat (I have a loliable brand one which works with regular outfits), one long winter coat and ski boots + regular calf length boots (I have lace up leather ones which have the waterproof leather tongue, like combat boots but much more feminine). Some days it's just too fucking cold, and my ski jacket is fairly waterproof as well.
>>8724282
Funny you should say that anon, because I hate that japanese laundry detergent smell. I wonder if it's a polarizing scent? I'm in Japan at the moment and all you can smell is laundry detergent mixed with a faint smell of sewerage and cigarettes.
>>8723609
JUST. DO IT.
Don't let your dreams be dreams, anon. Go to the next meet talking about how much it stank and how you had to get it dry cleaned 3 times.
>or maybe don't be that petty, but hey, it's an idea
>>8723819
she sounds racist and rude af
is there anything you can say to a mod that gets her kicked out? I know her behaviour might not bother you but damn, she needs her comeuppance. What a cunt.
>>8724056
Wear them the same way your would wear any other light clothing? Clothes don't visibly "get dirty" from wearing them. Just be aware of your surroundings and don't sit on dirty chairs. It's really no different than wearing normalfag clothes.
>>8724300
The site was really slow, so I was able to get a full set when normally I can't. Usually the site responds quicker so they are sold out by my second go. Another anon said they kept dropping cart and didn't get anything. I noticed the bear bags sold out first and the OP had a restock (otherwise it was first).
Gather from that what you will.
not sure if best to ask here but guys, can you give me a few tips on a few accessible online products for lolita? (I'm thinking of starting up with a maid type dress) How about footwear and other essentials such as underskirts?
Keep in mind this: I'm sort of a big boy (Usually my measurements on websites for dresses adjust to max L and min XL. I'm around 6'01'' plus wear EUR43 for footwear.
Know it's a longshot but shoot away please!
>>8724465
Antaina have shoes up to size 52
>>8724478
thank you!
>>8724148
Really? I thought the red would be most.
is this really misako?? she looks totally different in a blonde wig
>>8724636
I didn't recognize her either, but I think that's mostly because she does that one smile all the time and not doing that and having a blonde wig makes her look a lot different from how we're used to seeing her.
>>8723589
God skirts like that with suspenders are my weakness
i need it in navy
>>8722908
I support this idea. I have one super two faced friend who posts "anonymous" drama all the time. I like to make her feel hot under the collar by playing dumb and liking it. Do it anon, it's so fun.
>>8724465
maid and lolita shouldn't go in one sentence.
>>8724465
Don't go maid lolita. Never go maid lolita.
>>8724636
it looks like she's been put through the shoop mill?
>>8723819
>dollar coins
Are you Canadian by any chance? You should really talk to the mods about the antisemitism.
>>8724357
I bet the other comm members don't like her much either, if she has such a temper and make such snide remarks.
I also agree she ought to be warned by the mods to stop saying shit like that our in the open. It's like she jumped straight out of the 19th century. Or she's from /pol/ and reusing her online vocab for her meatspace interactions. Either way, absolutely disgusting.
>>8724647
Doesn't look like her to me
1)face shape is much more oval and slimmer, you can really see it in the 3/4 photos
Misako has a slim face, but it's very heart shaped
2)lip shape. Left has a larger upper lip and smaller lower lip than Misako who has a very small upper lip and a guller bottom lip
>>8724854
brands have made dresses that can be very maid like, as well as really cute aprons. I think it's fine to go for a maid theme, but you have to style it really well as not to look like any run of the mill bodyline dress.
Kek, this winter you can view Girlyhoot's documentary for the low price of... $1000 per download.
http://jordanrandall.com
>>8724779
>>8724854
So I guess a bunch of meta is just wrong then
>>8724879
US has dollar coins, the vending machines at my school give them as change
>>8724917
please tell me they meant 10.00
ten bux is STILL too much but at least its more reasonable
>>8724921
You can wear an apron without it being maid lolita
>>8724917
I can't stop looking at how disgusting her eye makeup looks in his banner photo, why on god's green earth would you use such a crusty image on the home page of your fucking website
>>8724933
and you can wear an apron and be a maid lolita. it's really all in the styling.
desu I'd love to see and OTT maid. with a really cute broom, maybe even carrying a cute silver platter with cakes and shit on it
>>8724917
A-are you sure he didn't forget a period somewhere? $1000 sounds ridiculous, literally no one would pay that.
>>8724935
Wow I do better looking eye makeup just to go out for drinks lol
>>8724917
Let's create a Kickstarter fund for one download and then we can pass it around
>>8724921
Fuck no, I love Meta and aprons. Maid lolita is just tacky.
>>8724917
Obviously a typo
>>8724647
she's had some work done.
by which I mean photoshop.
>>8724988
about as tacky as religious themed coords and nurse themed coords
>>8725009
You say that as if it's her fault and not the brand's/photographer's.
>>8724962
I think the director bumped the price when idiots on the other forum started proclaiming their intention to torrent it rather than pay for the $1 download.
>>8725018
>responding to a joke with sincerity
>>8725009
honestly what is up with chinese lolitas/lolita brands that abuse the fuck out of PS
>>8725044
No, the joke is you thinking your comment was funny.
>>8725055
Just the next step in transforming lolita from a wearable fashion into something... else. I get the impression a lot of the Chinese lolita community revolves around buying dresses, doing shoots with pro photographers & studio settings, and posting them online.
>>8725072
According to CG, pretty much. I often see girls on weibo do these really OTT photoshoots and sell a lot of dresses, but there's also quite a few photos of them just hanging out and getting coffee or something, so I guess it's a bit more complex than that.
>>8725118
I would call wonder cookie maid lolita because of the food theme, wrist cuffs, apron and maid headband thing.
Anyone know of any good places to get religious lolita accessories? I have some cute vintage stuff but it doesn't work quite as well as the stuff actually made for lolita.
>>8724917
Is he taking the piss? I wonder if he's come on here, read everyone mocking the fact that she wanted $300 for a skype chat, and are just doing this ironically. After the horrific fundraiser surely this is a joke. They know nothing will come of this.
>>8724260
Order your main piece and then go back and grab whatever accessories are left. Email them and let you know that you did it so they don't think someone was trying to swipe shit. It's how I got a full set during the Holy Lantern release, but you will be charged a $5 consolidation fee for each separate order and you will have to pay the shipping up front before they refund you the difference.
>>8725219
Did you do this on AP JP or AP USA?
>>8725228
Oh shoot, my reading was off. I did it all on AP USA.
>>8725203
Haenuli has 2 cross necklaces.
>>8724300
The problem with this is that you can tell the unpopular releases by how many are sitting around for 30k yen days after release.
If girls are actually paying 55k yen for it right now, it's not an unpopular release.
>>8725234
Gonna give it a shot that way then. Thanks anon! I didn't know you could do that.
>>8723589
Going to try to get it, but already getting antsy about even dealing with the AP website and the 90% chance of not getting it.
>>8722599
I can't not see this picture as the one shopped to have Ben Stiller making a Zoolander face. Anyone have it saved?
Once more our idiot janitors have decided that no fun is allowed.
Where did the community thread go? Or the winter ball thread?
Our janitors need a drink or a bowl or something. Learn to relax.
Does anyone know how long it takes for someone from the USA to get items bought on My-Lolita-Dress?
>>8725526
The OP of the online community thread even went out of her way to explain the culture of online comms and how lolitas discuss them lol
You just can't win
>>8725527
Depends on how long the original shop takes to make and send your items. It could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
>>8725547
Next time around I'll apply for janitor, salty threads for everyone.
>>8725577
I personally love it, artfag drawings inspire me to try coords I wouldn't normally. Why would anyone object to this
>>8725527
I ordered a headdress about 2.5 weeks ago and still haven't gotten it. Wondering if I ever will
>>8725592
Exactly, who is it hurting? It's a fucking thread for god's sake.
>>8725623
unfortunately there's an anon out there hellbent on being a 4chan warrior and shitting the threads up because it doesn't fit to their personal ideal of what 4chan is.
I could take or leave the ball threads, but the people in them seemed to enjoy them and it didn't hurt any of the other threads. I don't get why that one anon is so crusty.
>>8725593
Omg 2.5 weeks. Nope its never coming. Give up.
>>8725526
I'm not surprised. The AZ comm shitted that thread up with their drama. Thanks a bunch for that.
>>8725645
There wasn't even a shipping confirmation or any follow-up. They just took my money. It's shady as fuck, anon. I should've just gone through taobao myself
>>8725203
I searched "religious lolita jewelry" on Etsy. Try Voodoodolly, FantasticGrim and Vkmelb.
>>8724647
I can see a faint faint resemblance in the eyes and nose.
>>8725664
Dude. Your paranoid. Go through someone else if that shit means anything to you. The items show up the same way/time. I've ordered from them 10+ times and never had a problem.
>>8725593
contact them. My experiences with them have been nothing but positive and they were always quick to respond to me when I had questions.
>>8725664
Calm the fuck down and talk a walk or something.
They are no different than any other Taobao reseller and your shit will get to you
>>8725666
FantasticGrim is really great, seconding this.
Anyone know if meta restocks their shoes? Thanks!
>>8725580
If you could throw in a temporary ban for the asshat reporting decent threads just to stir shit I'd appreciate it.
Is anyone going to preorder the new peppermint fox bread something something jsk? I like that it's corduroy and polka dotted, super cute and casual.
>>8722681
I like you. You seem like a cool person. It sucks how many people are into the status and trying for e-fame and can't just have fun with people enjoying playing dress-up in fancy clothes.
>>8725527
I ordered a dress and bonnet in August and still no shipping notice. I ordered from Glitzy Wonderland and Clobba last month and both have shipped, and the one from GW even arrived, but nothing from My-Lolita-Dress. I've even emailed them twice and all they said was, "We'll notify you when your order is ready to ship".
>>8725628
I wish we had better janitors. I see no point of deleting the winterball thread since the people there were having fun and then /fa/ had a few inputs to and tried to learn out cosplay and lolita/jfashion.
Some people just like to ruin everyone else's fun just because they don't like one damn thing. Honestly idk if janitors don't honestly know what they are doing or if most that applied are part of the "No Fun" brigade.
>>8725923
They didnt tell you if the delay was on the manufacturer's side?
>>8725975
I always wondered, when is the winter ball ?
Is it just me or is it getting difficult to sell stuff?
Is everyone broke due to Holy Lantern and upcoming Christmas?
>>8726027
Pretty much
>>8726027
Yup. Christmas and lucky pack/sale season is coming up. Not sure about Holy Lantern- are there a lot of people still waiting on the November MTO?

Absolutely never give Vkmelb a bloody cent
>Bad quality over priced bullshit
>Shits up Lolita fashion tag on tumblr despite being asked to stop on multiple occaisions
>annoying cunt who thinks she's above everyone else.
>Can barely dress herself in normal clothing and a massive fucking ita, converse and all.
>>8726039
Probably just people recovering from what they bought in the first MTO.
>>8726027
Yea, I know that is how I'm feeling... Not so much the HL MTO but Christmas. I had plans to save but that didn't happen
>>8724967
if it was truly 1000 I would be 100% okay with this idea. I really need to see this disaster of a video
So this is happening.
>>8726256
I wonder how much debt they generate this time around.
>>8726297
I wonder how many dumbasses are actually going to spend their money there. Honestly I'm planning on cutting ties with anyone I know who buys from this shop, there's literally no excuse.
>>8726256
>can't pay debts
>open new business
fuckers
>>8726297
That's where all the "missing" AM lolita stock went.... it's in the same Plaza as Fit so I'm assuming they'll get people to go for AM lolita events from now on
>>8726256
I only want to go so I can document everything that was stolen.
>>8726256
Someone should write to the building manager and tell them that this shop is being stocked with stolen product, so that they can't deny not knowing about it when shit goes down later. Really wish Nina would fork over the screenshots of the conversation with Baby (if it actually happened).
I'm thinking about picking up an iw lp if possible, what choices do you get besides price range, can you choose darker colors? Is there ever new dress designs or is it stuff from the following year?
>>8726256
I give it 6months before it closes, at most.
>>8726312
Anyone can contact Baby and ask them if AM never sent back some stock though
>>8726331
In the past the choices have just been size for jsks (large, medium, etc) and price. They usually just include stock from the preceding year. Sometimes they do a new cut of a previous dress and include those. Sometimes they include more sought after prints.
Does anyone else feel like lolita has warped their perception of normie fashion?
>$500 isn't so much anymore
>not comfortable wearing a sleeveless dress without a blouse
>have become extremely anal about colors matching and limit my color palette to one color + black + white for normie outfit
>feel weird with uncovered legs
>always wear some kind of hair accessory and feel incomplete without one
>>8726460
>>have become extremely anal about colors matching and limit my color palette to one color + black + white for normie outfit
You know complimentary colors are a thing, right?
Agree with everything else though, especially the sleeves. I feel nude without my shoulders covered.
>>8726460
Definitely for the better. I've learned the timeless value of quality over quantity, and my wardrobe is very cohesive. Lolita fashion has just merged in with the rest of my clothes.
I've also learned to be more careful with my clothes, regardless if they're burando or not.
>>8726464
i took color theory anon
i know
im just extremely picky about both my normie outfits and coords and try to stick to a monochromatic scheme + black/white/off white/cream/neutrals and/or brown if the main color has a warm tone
Was wondering, what ever happened to that Lolita who bought a cat in Japan? Did she end up taking it home with her? I can't remember her name.
>>8726513
please don't rehash this drama about poop-chan
i don't want this thread to be deleted by the janitors
>>8726460
I now dress 'all out' or don't bother at all when it comes to non ouji clothes.
Like, either im wearing leather pants and platform boots or I look like it's laundry day.
>>8726460
>>$500 isn't so much anymore
Lol okay anon, you do you. After reading lolita confessions and anons inability to handle money I'm not surprised.
>>8726548
>leather pants and platform boots
>>8726502
>i took color theory anon
>i know
Woaaah we've got a certified pro over here, everyone just back the fuck up.
>>8725923
It's the taobao shop that would make a delay not my-Lolita-dress. And they can't do anything about it.
>>8726578
>woe-ahhhhhh
who can say this out loud without sounding like they have Down's?
>>8726256
I guess I'm out of the loop, someone explain this?
>>8726722
the Leighs run Anime Matsuri and steal from/scam people. their last brick-and-morter business closed with 86,000 (or am i missing 0s) in debt. a lot of people have been taking legal action to get their money for AM back, but no news on whether the most recent claimants have succeeded. (the Leighs only pay back when they have to, like when a venue won't let AM back because of unpaid bills.)
>it might have been 86mil
>you should check the archives
>>8726719
That's not how you would say that, Anon.
>>8726736
that's how they spelled it, surely with good reason
I'm still trying to decide if I want to go for Meta's Dozing Kitty.
It's so cute and I do have the money for it but not really QQ
>>8726744
Holy shit you are stupid.
>>8726084
Holy shit all of this is so fucking true god damn
>>8726759
>someone can't spell "whoa"
>can't even figure out how to represent exaggerated effect in writing
>spells it in a way that literally sounds retarded
>accuses someone else of being stupid
It's okay, not everyone is literate.
>>8726775
Did you get your feelings hurt? That's usually why people start attacking grammar or spelling.
>>8726775
This is embarrassing. Stop.
so I just dropped some packages off and I had a question -
I shipped 2 items each in a USPS priority mail flat rate box, though one was in box 1 (the smaller more cube-shaped one) and the other in box 2 (the larger more rectangular one). It's flat rate shipping and the medium boxes, when you pay at the post office, are usually around $12, regardless if it is box 1 or box 2 as long as it's medium and regardless of its weight. But I was just looking at the receipt and while I got charged the $12 for box 1, I was only charged like $6 for box 2. Did the lady mess up or does the cost go down if you ship more or what?
>>8726801
>kek
You were right all along anon, if only I had listened. Now every morning I wake up to a dystopian nightmare knowing I could have prevented it.
>>8726805
It sounds like you had one small flat rate box and one medium flat rate box, in which case the price is correct.
The cube shaped one is the small box, and the rectangle is the medium.
>>8726801
I was going to apply but I haven't used 4chan for long but now I regret it. If only we applied, we could of prevented of people ruining other's fun.

>>8726856
no the small flat rate one is really tiny, anon is talking about pic related.
Can I tell FJ to not put the damn item numbers on the shipping label? Is there any shopping service that can buy from any shop that won't put an item number on the label and doesn't charge unreasonable fees?
>>8726805
I've always wondered about this and I do think its a cap
>>8726747
same
why indecisiveness
i know i'll love it but money (and meta) even though i technically have the money... and it'll go for more secondhand later on probably.
>>8726747
Meta's kimono prints seem to go over retail consistently, and in any case finding Meta second hand is a nightmare. Go for it.
There's been nothing worth buying on the second hand market, and there probly won't be till the new year abloo bloo.
This looks so cute for casual wear. I want it so badly but I know as soon as I put it on my body it won't feel casual at all.
>>8726886
>in any case finding Meta second hand is a nightmare. Go for it.
There's one on yj at this very moment, spendy for sure, but I see them floating around at least every couple of weeks.
>>8726886
>anon are you even trying.

>>8726897
mte :(
>>8726897
This is a mess anyway.
>>8726916
>>8726460
All of this, except the money thing, that's quite the opposite. Every time I go to a normie store and need to pay 25 for a skirt, I think "fuck that could've been a new pair of OTKs".
>>8726256
Will someone check it out and see what they carry? I irc Baby, Atelier Pierrot, and AP all had stock missing
>>8726950
Take secrety covert photos and report back.
>>8726939
I have a different reaction these days. I walk into normal stores and look at things and think "I can probably buy this on Taobao for cheaper".
My normal clothes are under 10 for everything i buy. But my nice things are really expensive..
>>8726256
Wow they really have no shame. I hope they fuck up spectacularly.
>>8726887
I wondered that too but specifically the price was $6.65 (so literally half of the usual price but more than the small boxes)
I just want to know whether or not this is going to affect the shipment of the box, like is it gonna get rejected for not having proper postage if this was an accident?
>>8726856
nope, >>8726866 is right. the small flate rate boxes are small but still rectangular and not cube-y like the other one. should've posted a pic initially but yeah
>>8726971
nah its probably fine, and if there is an issue it'll be something that the post office would handle and not you anyway
>>8726801
Eh. I applied and wasn't accepted, so
>>8726987
What's the application process like, do they ask you questions?
I have a serious issue with blouses. I only own one lolita-specific blouse that fits me, and I'm not sure what styles to invest in. I have an inverted triangle shape and rather large breasts, please advise.
>>8726889
>nothing worth buying
>tons of nice stuff around now more than earlier in the year
what the fuck even are you looking for
>>8726297
I want to know what bank was stupid enough to give them a loan.
>>8726939
I'm similar I both cosplay and do lolita so for years dropping $40 on a normal dress has had me thinking, that was either half a new blouse or a third a new costume worth of fabric, how wasteful, when I used to easily spend $80 to $100 on a single normal dress without thinking.
>>8726897
Anyone have an idea of the max shirring on it? I want it so bad but I'm worried my shoulders are too bulky for it because I have trouble fitting most blouses.
Help me decide which to buy (both skirts in sax) - dream sky, or drained cherry. Any coord inspo? I couldn't find a request thread.
This is probably an odd question but would anyone know how I could get certain prints as fabric? I want to make matching dresses for my Usakumya.
