So most of us have dream dresses but some designs out there are ugly, tacky and absolutely despicable. Show me those dresses which really make you want to puke all over them.
I hate the top of this one so much. It's just so ugly.
>>8671762
The tops for those are usually pretty shitty. Would buy skirts, tho'.
It's like Innocent World made a knockoff taobao version of itself. The print looks so cheap, flat, and low-budget. Will never understand why people like this dress.
Oh, how I hate Metas leopard prints...
>>8671738
i like this
>>8671774
Agree so much. I have so many IW prints I absolutely loathe, mostly the city prints. They're just so flat and ugly...
>>8671826
I also hate the dollhouse print with a passion.
This is ugly as sin itself.
This just screams "ita"
>>8671906
why I like this shit
>>8671738
This dress isn't half bad once you see it in person
>>8671827
I hate the dollhouse print in black, but I think it looks really pretty in the lighter colours. Also, like 99% of dodgy-looking brand, it looks much better in person.
>>8671906
i feel like any other colorway that isn't black and some light color would be cute tho
This is Milanoo tier. Seriously, imagine it with less poof and you have it.
>>8671906
Candy Fairy in this colorway is so ugly and ita but I love it for some strange reason
>>8671829
I thonk it looks better as a skirt, the top makes the print look weird.
>>8671826
The color gradient here reminds me of poop
>>8671829
Stfu you're just too ugly to pull off LBC.
I always hate these threads because they usully turn into OTT sweet-bashing threads, and not nightmare dress threads.
>>8671774
>tfw my dream dress
I admit it's really simple, but I do adore the dress.
>>8671971
I haven't seen that happen here yet.
Maybe you should contribute instead of complaining?
AatP Joker's Trump Party.
The other colourways of this are gorgeous, but for some reason they decided to release this garish monstrosity.
>>8672115
jesus that is an ugly dress. and i mean the actual cut. it looks so cheap
>>8671971
>OTT
That's usually where the nightmares come from. OTT is such an easy thing to mess up.
>>8672115
That's really unfortunate looking. Oh my.
>>8671738
This dress is like Scarlet Primavera Waltz's ugly little sister
>>8671774
oh... that's on my wishlist...
>>8672115
I love the bottom half of this! The top just looks poorly constructed and full of a lot of bizarre choices.
This dress is ugly as sin.
>>8671774
I actually have seen the fabric of this dress many years ago on Taobao, sold as halloween one, maybe that's why it looks so bad?
>>8671906
Guess why it is Venus's fav dress.
>>8672215
Oh man. This makes me want to do Candy Fairy some justice
I saw this dress in other colorways look half decent on a magazine or something... But it still looks like square dancing and it's awful and I hate it.
>>8672198
I think it's cute and so is the headdress
>>8672198
No it's cute as fuck. Great accessories.
>>8671738
I kind of like it, but thats because it looks like something my grandma would make me if i showed her lolita, and shes such a sweet little old lady
>>8671906
God, does anyone have a grandma that had clown dolls/figures/cake toppers (??) in her house in the 90s? The texture of those ribbons reminds me EXACTLY of those and I can't even put my finger on what they used to look like.
>>8671829
Finally, someone else who thinks this dress looks like shit.
>>8672113
Maybe you should lurk more.
>>8672198
I agree. Looks like something Ms. Frizzle would wear
>>8672227
kek
This dress is so stupid and screams efame whore to me. But the pink and wine are somewhat tolerable.
I can admire nicely made dresses but I find this tacky. Also JetJ's painting dresses. They don't look lolita to me, just painted printed onto a skirt with a basic bodice. Worst offender for me was the Bosch dress because I love Bosch and I hated the placement of the image and how the seams didn't even try to line up in some way.
>>8672417
The overlay just makes it look dingy.
So... This just happened.
>>8672483
It just looks so cheap and tacky. Like they had extra lace laying around. I also hate the pearl cross at the neck.
>>8672483
I think it's funny how much this lace is hated. I don't remember where I know this sort of design from. Moitie or VM?
Hey, maybe that means I'll get it for cheap but I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of demand anyway regardless of what /cgl/ thinks.
>>8672496
I think there's so much hate for it because of all the terrible dresses and terrible babbys first lolita crafts that exist with shitty rashel lace. Frankly, the higher quality stuff can be nicer, but it's not my personal preference.
The color palette for this series is absolutely atrocious, and yet.... somehow, I still kind of want it.
>>8672483
I feel so sad to see AP going in this direction more and more
they're turning into the edgy mallgoth of lolita
>>8672483
I won't accept this dress till I see a decent coord come from it
>>8672507
I've seen it coorded well and it looks lovely, I with I had the image or could remember who it was. I was actually shocked how good it could look.
>>8672530
It will probably look nice if there's an all black colorway
>>8672507
I love the reds and the animals on the border, but the rest is a warm mess.
>>8671829
LBC looks 10x better in person in my opinion.
>>8672507
I really love the animals, but the rest of the print is just way too busy. It's a shame, because I really want to like it.
>>8671778
>tfw I love all of meta's crazy prints
>even the leopard prints look cute to me
Even though we always joke about Meta, you gotta admit that they are still pretty original when it comes to prints and not following trends much.
>>8671738
I would honestly wear that.
Not in any public coords but it looks pretty comfortable
>>8672595
This exactly, I fucking love meta and every time they break the mold it just makes me love them even more
>>8672507
This is a really pretty print when viewed in person. I like it too.
This print. I'm a poorfag, so I'm usually all about lucky pack dresses, but I hate this one. It just looks off to me.
>>8672642
It looks like cheaply designed normie curtain material for kids or a wall hanging for a middle aged 'yummy mummy'
This dress is fug.
>>8672653
I hate this dress but especially in the yellow colourway.
>>8671778
The dress could potentially be good for gyaru though.
>>8672653
The cut and the ruffles at the bottom make it look like a jellyfish.
>>8672653
I wish more people thought that so I could buy it for cheap.
>>8672507
I love all of the colorways except brown.
>>8672375
>mfw top tier dream dress
>ties with HL
I love this fucking dress and would sell my soul for it
>>8672879
If you don't mind me asking-- why?
>>8672889
Some people have different tastes than you, shocking I know. I think that dress is adorable. It's simple, I love those nun-cut dresses, and I think the crosses are cute.
>>8672417
I don't like the cut but that print is one of my favorites.
>>8672889
I'm a slut for nun things and crosses. Combine them together, and you get my ultimate dream dress
>>8672507
It's just the image quality, the print is lovely
>>8672375
That dress is gorgeous! Forget about efame and just appreciate the ruffles.
>>8672909
I guess the simpleness is the nun aspect?
I can see that.
>>8672651
What's weird about it (to me) is that it's not lolita clothes on the dressforms, which makes it seem more like a generic normie fabric.
Hideous. Looks like a low quality shady Taobao creation.
~eDgY~
The blue version looks particularly garish in non stock photos. I couldn't pick which cut is the worst but the star buttons look particularly bad on this. It has wings in the back, why. If it matched the theme it could be cute, but nope.
Such an ugly Tumblr clusterfuck.
This print looks so cheap compared to Imai Kira's usual work.
This could have been cute, but why crosses? Looks stupid and out of place.
>>8673129
I love this dress so much!! I honestly can't say why, but I've always been a fan of it-- but only in black. I do agree the other versions, especially blue, look strange.
>>8673138
This print reminds me of the little plastic sleeves and stickers that come with PAAS easter egg decorating kits. Just pastels and daisies and crosses- oh my!
>>8672507
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates this dress.
The browns are ugly and it's way too busy.
From afar, it looks like camo-lolita
Up close, it look even worse
>>8673129
This dress really doesn't photograph well. It looks a lot better IRL.
>>8673135
Ok but the black print is gorgeous. The other colors are questionable or downright bad (dat hot pink) but the black looks so classy and sparkly. Also what the fuck is with the low-waist cut.
But anyway, I feel like it's possible just to dislike most of APs prints if they're not your style. None of those are nightmare dresses, you just don't like them.
Menuet Boquet? That's a nightmare dress.
>>8672609
I also love Meta for the same reasons.
I've always seen them as the Sega Dreamcast of the lolita brands. Weird and experimental, and a little out of touch and overboard sometimes, which can cause either a spectacular failure or a cult following, or both. I think that's why I love them.
>>8673138
Modest but Quirky Evangelical Girl Kei
>>8672198
It would look better without the numbers
>>8672507
This coord made me change my mind about that dress.
>>8673135
More like my dream dress.
>>8673174
There's always going to be someone who hates any given dress. Also, note how those are mostly popular dresses. When people see things they already don't like everywhere, it's going to male them feel the need to point out their distaste for it more.
>>8673133
That looks like CDC had an ugly cousin.
>>8673153
I never realized that AP might have been going for an Easter theme with this dress - it's definitely a lot cuter with that in mind.
>>8673760
I actually like this, but I would never wear it. It's just interesting to look at.
>>8673129
I can only handle the skirt from this set, since any more print is a little much for my eyes. That said, I wish whoever's been looking at non-pastel (or is it the crosses that are setting them off?) AP prints and going ~EDGEWORTH DESU~ would relax. Aside from being busy, this print isn't even out there.
>>8673524
I wish I could make out the entire brand name of those shoes
>>8672251
Toilet roll doll cover things?
>>8673813
I think the brand is just Rivers. they are australian, itll come up if you search "rivers shoes". doesnt look like they have those ones anymore though
>>8673524
That's a different colorway though (the so called green one). And keep in mind it's indoors, on a white background, heavily color corrected. It does look very pretty though.
>>8673124
This is one of my favorite dresses.
>>8672417
That beaded cross though... eugh.
I hate this print sooo much. I think it looks cheap and fugly, like some shit you'd find on etsy that's made out of a child's bed sheet.
>>8671774
I like the idea of the skyscrapers at the bottom and the constellations but I do agree that it looks very cheap and flat.
>>8671933
You are...not alone.
>>8676920
It looks pretty imo
I can deal with the darker colorway a little bit better.. but pretty much all of fortune tarot is not my cup of tea.
>>8673760
This is my dream dress. It's so ruffly and tacky I can't help but love it. If it was red white and blue it would be a great fourth of july dress.
>>8672115
Anyone remember when this was written as "joker's tramp party" on the website? Good times
>>8676920
What is this, another disney store jp collab?
>>8677211
I never knew this existed, but now I have to have it. Thank you, Anon.
>but I like this dress :^)
No one cares, you are being inane. Please stop. That's not what this thread is about. You liking it doesn't invalidate the fact that it's someone's nightmare dress.
>>8676920
Gracious, this is precious. I'd love to go to Disney World wearing this.
Does anyone have that Meta Flight Attendent mess saved?
>>8673941
Top kek
>>8672507
Still my fave AP print ever. Like it just looks like they were trying to do meta trying to do iw.?
>>8673135
i don't understand why so many people lose their shit over cat prints, most of them are awful.
>>8677211
Wow this legitimately looks like a dolldelight mess
>>8677245
I would too if I was 5.
>>8677271
I love it so much that I'm hunting it down. It's tacky/weird Meta, but I really don't think it's nightmare quality compared to >>8676920
or >>8672483
>>8671738
I saw this dress on my feed and I can't find it anywhere. Anyone have the deats on this dress? I want it so bad!
>>8677584
Omg ignore this post I misread and sent it to the wrong thread. Ignore!
>>8677584
It's btssb x disney collab
>>8673129
The blue can look cool with black, though. A bit more mature than the pastel colors.
>>8677239
shrug if you really like it that much the whole set is on yh auctions.
>>8677565
I know 100% what you mean. I was asking because I can never remember what it's called and I want everything from the series so bad.
>>8676920
This reminds me of those Disney princess dress up costumes little girls get. Like you know the ones where there is a charm of the princess the costume is of somewhere near the neck line... I hated those damn things growing up why would Bell have a picture of herself on her ball gown?
>>8678082
I must be older than you because the ones i had didn't ever have the little charm. They were also a lot plainer and cheaper material than the ones I see being sold at the Disney Store now though. Even the basic ones are so fancy now!
>>8673954
Yeah, they went on clearance last year I think? I know a bunch of girls in my comm were buying them up because they're cute and were marked down pretty cheaply.
THIS
>http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/87305
This is one of the ugliest god damn dresses I have ever had the misfortune of laying eyes on.
>>8676920
I can see this being cute when worn, but somehow it just looks off to me when it's laid out like this. I can definitely see why you think it looks like bedsheets.
>>8677211
This is one of those dresses where you either look amazing or like a literal pile of shit. You'd need some serious coording skills to pull this off without looking hideous but it could be done.
>>8682553
That thing is damn unfortunate. It looks really nicely made too, what a shame. Good for mallgoth's first lolita, I guess?
>>8682553
That print is the exact print i have on my normalfag wallet. This is a hint that it shouldn't be used for a Lolita dress.
>>8671970
no its fucking ugly
>>8673138
This actually looks really cute to me! But I do agree with you about the crosses, definitely out of place.
>>8673760
Way too OTT. So many ruffles!
>>8671738
You're in luck, anon. Your nightmare dress is on Closet Child right now for the low low price of 42.8k yen.
I figured this is the best place to post this, does anyone else feel the need to buy things because they are so ugly and tacky? its like a weird compulsion for me
>>8686762
No I get this. I like a lot of the dresses that cgl hates for whatever reason.
Not enough to buy them but only because I want to save my money for dream dresses.
>>8676920
It looks like a child's dress, but aren't these collabs literally made for children? I never understood why anyone over the age of 12 or 13 would wear this or Rapunzel one. It would look cute on a little girl though.
Literally anything JetJ have released in the last few years
>>8687292
It's marked on the site for ages 15+
>>8673135
Probably because that isn't Imai Kira's work
>>8673941
My mom had one of these for years. I kind of miss seeing it when I go to her house. What did she do with that thing? I hope she didn't trash it. Muh nostalgia.
>>8671827
I don't like the OP but I love this print. I have the JSK in my wardrobe. The lavender colorway is so pretty
>>8673124
>I just bought this
>Fight Me
Literally anything by Triple Fortune. I don't understand why people like their dresses. Their bonnets are gorgeous, but holy fuck are their designs ugly as hell. Busy or clashy, dresses are at a really awkward length, and then there was that one review going over the shitty construction.
>>8687492
I love this print as well. I think it is so cute!
>>8671829
I once say a girl wearing this shit. I thought it looked so cheap I asked if she made it herself. Honestly it never crossed my mind it could be brand with those ribbon straps and green blanket print.
>>8673138
i think the crosses give it a kinda easter-y thing to it
>>8687584
> Loves most things by Triple Fortune
> Can't justify the prices though
They're so OTT and busy that I find them super interesting. Also I think it'll be either them or Meta that will finally give me a non-butterfly insect print.
>>8687584
I actually like their designs, especially pic related which they posted on instagram recently but would never pay a high price for it because I know the construction is so shitty.
>>8672507
I think this would look 10 times better with different lace, or even no lace at all.
>>8673760
This would be perfect if you were making a coord themed around an old-timey drifter.
>>8688475
I'm actually curious to see what their bonnets look like up close. From what I remember from photographs, the lace they use for the inner ruffle looked questionable and I remember someone mentioning seeing an exposed serged edge. Can anyone attest to the construction of 3F bonnets?
i think this is the ugliest brand dress which is sad because purple is my favorite color

>tfw its one of the first dresses I fell in love with when I got into lolita

>>8673760
oh my god. i saw a girl wearing this at a con dance years ago and thought it was ita as fuck. i had no idea it was brand.
>>8693029
I feel very underwhelmed by this dress, like an opportunity was somehow wasted...
>>8693038
Maybe you're the ita for not recognizing it
>>8691926
I actually plan on buying this at some point to do a kawaii grandma look for a halloween coord. Curlers in my hair, muumuu, house slippers, etc
>>8693055
because i didn't recognize a burando several years ago when i was first getting into the fashion? ok.
>>8693029
damn, how can they turn such a nice painting into shit it's beyond me. So much potential wasted. I'm also kind of disappointed that they didn't chose the hell part of that triptych instead. That would have transated better as a print on a dress imo.
>>8691937
Why are inbreds allowed to wear lolita.
>>8693092
>disappointed that they didn't chose the hell part of that triptych instead
That was exactly my thought when I first saw it. Or better yet, both (not on the same dress though, as a two-part collection of sorts). Though I'm not a huge fan of the cut and design of the dress itself, to be honest.
>>8672271
Same, I keep thinking about getting into sweet but prints like this are what keep me from buying anything but classic
>>8672417
I don't like new j et j either. Their old stuff was so beautiful, but the hyper realistic prints look nothing at all like lolita. Just like like normie novelty clothes
>>8672271
>>8693141
lol, when this print came out egl mostly hated it. Trust me, this print is popularly unpopular.
It's also commonly quoted alongside Ashley Embroidery as the turning point when replicas were no longer about having a cheap version of a dream dress the burandos don't care enough about to re-release to their fans, and more about the replica-makers just replicating anything they can get their hands on, because both the original and the replicas were so unpopular both of them stuck around in the shops for such a long time, no one can actually figure out why this print out of everything else was being replicated. You'd think even the replica-makers would have some sense not to replicate the prints nobody likes.
>>8673760
What is this, I need it
i know most people hate this ageplay-chan dress, but i love it. i really really do. one day i plan to get my hands on the yellow op. one day!

>>8693903
Melissa and Gwen (from the nipple cardigan drama on btb).
>>8693029
Why
They could have picked something and stuck it on the bodice like they did with the Jesus dress, they could have picked a more muted painting, they could have made it into a border print somehow or at least altered the cut of the dress so it looked more mediaeval and more suited to the paintings. This shit is awful, how does someone look at the finished product and decide to sell it?
>>8691926
The cut is awful. But I love the print.
AatP's Sweet Devil. It's an embodiment of some of AatP's clusterfuck design and fabric choices. I don't get why it sells for so high an amount. It's got so much going on, and ends up looking cheap and tacky. It's a fabric monster. The same goes for some of their questionable fabric/trim choice vests and coats, such as the ones with weird curtain tassel trim along the bottom.
This disgusting mess. Triple fortune in general is bad imo though.
>>8693171
I love dreamy baby room so much and I HATE the fact that I think it's so cute. I'd only buy it if I found it for cheap though.
>>8695306
I think Sweet Devil is lovely honestly, it has a lot going on but all the elements work together nicely.
AP has some real fabric monsters, looking at this makes me want to throw up a bit.
>>8693029
Wow this is so ugly. I need one.
I hated the 2014 Wrapping Ribbon. It looks so garish and cheap imo.
AP should've stuck with the colorways from the 2010 release.
>>8696328
I don't mind the mint colourway in the jsk cut.
>>8673760
>tfw this is actually my dream dress...
This AP dress looks like cheap Milanoo-shit. Especially the sax colorway. But maybe it´s just an unlucky photo.
Ewww....
>>8701310
What about it looks cheap to you? It's very simple, yes, but what makes it cheap looking?
>>8701319
The fabric looks quite thin and also the little shinyness of this frontlacing. It´s just my impression. Maybe it would look quite cute if worn in a more elaborate coord.
>>8701314
I genuinely love this as it looks like an antique doll dress to me - I’d definitely go full oldschool on its ass with a ringlet wig, white lace knee socks etc.
>>8701327
It would look out of place in an elaborate coord, though. Do you even oldschool?
>>8677593
I love this, probably not for lolita though.
>>8692689
You seem to like clusterfucks.
Are you good at coording OTT? I can see these dresses sort of working there.. in a very weird way.
>>8693029
I honestly want this. How much do these normally sell for?
>>8701808
absolutely not, almost every single one of my coords are super toned down.
>>8696350
This looks like an ice cream wrapper.
>>8693029
I need this so bad.. its such a disaster but damn do I need it..
Was the 3rd Panel ever made into a dress?
>>8695978
I'm actually planning on getting married in this one day kek
>>8701314
I love prints that allow me to blend in with the wallpaper at Gran's house.
This cut and the details on top of the print are just so super busy, the rest of your outfit would need to be fairly plain and unembellished. I would wear it tho.
