Can someone explain me, what are the differences between pastel goth and creepy cute?
I'm not into any of these styles but I'm curious.
>>8686279
Ew ew ew
Just no. I hope you never get your hands on that JSK.
>>8686595
Creepy Cute is called Gurokawa in Japan and got a fokus on cute "spooky" things, or let's call it halloween accessories, whereas Pastel Goth is just stereotypical goth fashion combined with pastels.
>>8686604
>waaah I don't like something
Cry more
Does anyone else find themselves more inspired by creepy cute art than actual people wearing coords? It might just be that the art can be more grotesque.
>>8686316
Gah. This would be nice if not for those stupid lower lashes.
>>8686201
>gurokawa menhera
noob, but what does this mean?
>>8686925
their was also a discussion about it in the fairy kei thread if you're interested.
>>8686792
still ita
>>8686961
Those are some tiny feet
I want to recreate the eye patch for a outfit
>>8686984
I know it's brand but it's meant to be creepy cute and it is. I'm not going to change your mind but I also can't agree with you and don't see what's wrong with it as far as creepy cute goes.
If someone put that on and called it lolita, then sure, ita all the way, but there's a reason it's being posted in this thread and not a lolita coord thread.
>>8687853
well, i'm not the anon who is bitching about the creepy cute, and imo, i think they're being a bit of a cunt, the original poster did say: "pastel goth lolita with an actual gothic dress"
>>8687853
how can it be good for creepy cute but not lolita? can you explain carefully for a noob?
>>8687917
Lolita has stricter rules on things like silhouettes and coordination (balance of color and volume for example) Creepy cute is more diverse and free. With >>8686279 it doesn't really work as a lolita outfit because of the mismatching colors and themes, and the dress is better off as a gothic piece (that dress is also pretty popular from what I've seen so the fans of it are probably more uptight with how its worn in a coord). Creepy cute lolita is pretty frowned upon here too (for awhile, there have been arguments if "bittersweet' could be a substyle or if pastel gothic lolita was okay and it's a pretty universal "no"). Creepy cute lolita also tends to be fairly tacky.
>>8687853
Wrong person. It looks like shit and doesn't match the aesthetics of the dress at all. I don't like pastel goth/creepy cute (grew out of it years ago, if you're over 18 then there's no excuse) but at least the other items mesh okay with each other.
>>8688115
>>8687917
"Creepy cute" was mostly frowned on because the girls who attempted it kinda sucked at it, mainly because it's difficult to find premade dresses that can be made creepy cute so girls ended up shoe horning clashing colours or prints into their outfits. The one lolita indie that tried to produce dresses for it is the one that made the Sugary Boners dress (their other release is a zombie cake print. I like the concept but their artwork is so bad)
Honestly it always bums me out when girls use a "it's not lolita, stop complaining" excuse, because it implies that the fashion is a dumping ground for rejects who can't hack it in lolita.
>>8688145
I'm >>8688115
A part of me really likes the Sugary boners dress too but I agree with what you said/you worded it better. Many examples of creepy cute are very clashing. The coord with the MmM dress isn't the worst I've ever seen but I do see where it has faults.
All that being said, I feel like the other thing that makes creepy cute lolita difficult is that many people would take pastel main pieces and then just pair it with black. The contrast was extreme and rarely if ever worked.
>>8686259
Absolutely love this. The wig is adorable on her.
>>8688145
There were way more indie brands making creepy cute dresses, even on Taobao.
I think pic related was the first menhera lolita dress.
>>8688335
I'm still wondering if the anon who posted the mmm creepy cute did it because it's often the sweet lavender prints that got paired with black, so a gothic print would be different/not falling into that mistake. I think the main issue with her coord is that it felt like she wanted "a gothic creepy cute coord" simply for the sake of having a gothic creepy cute coord, the beauty of the coord fell by the wayside to that goal.
>>8688432
Ah, I forgot about this one. Was there not also an indie creepy cute print that was just eyeballs all over? I think I mainly remember WAMH because they really started the ball, and I was hoping something good would come out of the fashion, but then the creepy cute trend just sort of fizzled out almost from one week to the next.
>>8688447
the MmM pastel goth is from a request to collageanon on tumblr to find a way to make a pastel goth coord with a gothic dress, rather than sweet in a black colorway like every attempt at pastel goth lolita is.
a bit different than creepy cute since the aim is to do goth with a softer look featuring pastels. the creepy cute dresses would be too cartoony or sweet for the look.
i myself am tempted to try to make a pastel-heavy coord that is true gothic lolita, if only to see more variation in the substyle and demonstrate the difference between "sweet in a black colorway with bright or pastel accents" and "gothic in a pale/pastel colorway."
>>8688115
It might be my monitor, but the colors don't look mismatched to me.
>>8686316
Umm... she is wearing a Swimmer brand bathing suit... that does not fit... with an ugly belt and cardigan...?? Makeup is nice but holy shit, is she supposed to be dressed up as someone ill-dressed?
>Creepy cute lolita
if you want to add creepy cute to the lolita style do guro. I think it's a misconception that guro is just taking a white dress and throwing blood on it it could be so much more AND appeal to your want of mixing creepy cute and lolita... unless when you refer to creepy cute you mean ~pastel goth~ and not gurokawa/menhera. Keep pastel goth in bittersweet or whatever.
>>8688458
not arguing with your opinion, but where is the bathing suit?
>>8688469
Not the same anon but the "dress" is a swimsuit.
>>8688132
>I don't like pastel goth/creepy cute
Then why are you in this thread
>>8688469
Her boobs are making it weird, but it still looks ok and her make up is fucking spot on. Who cares if its a swimmer dress, I assumed it was a skater dress.
>>8686251
Holy fuck. I want that shirt so badly. Anyone know where it's from?
>>8688541
Listen Flavor, recent fall collection.

>>8688454
Aah, I see now, it's more like using pastels with gothic lolita than outright creepy cute? Now that it's explained that way, I can see it better. (I still dislike the colours she chose, but I'll admit I had lavender overload from the time when every creepy cute coord was any lavender print with black added).
I always imagine gothic silhoutte in a pale/pastel colourway to look like Victorian Maiden or Mary Magdalene, but I'm definitely interested to see any experimental coords you cook up.
>>8688463
Like this?
>>8688595
I can't tell did she make horns with her wig? Cause if so that's awesome.
>>8688115
I noticed it's very hard to do a legit creepy cute lolita coordinate, while gothic lolita coordination is way easier and with not much effort i can create simple but cute or elegant coords. Instead creating a creepy cute coord, especially with a AP pastel print in black is a tad difficult, i'm trying to create something with Dream Fantasy AP salo but it's a challenge, everything i try looks a bit dull. I don't like to mix too much colors on lolita except for accessories (hair, necklace, bracelets).
There are some creepy cute prints lately, like the taobao indie prints with demon angel cats (idk the name of the brand) and this in pic related from Royal Princess Alice, my impossible dream dress. At least with this jsk i don't have to mix pastels, i can coord like a gothic coordinate with mostly black items, boring i know.
>>8686961
Where's that shirt from? It's a tarot design
>>8688432
Omg this is so cute but I just want to change all her legwear to match and take out the red from the wig. Also that looks like a hospital wrist band on her arm, nice touch.
>>8688454
> a pastel-heavy coord that is true gothic lolita
I would absolutely love to see coords like this, anon.
>>8688607
she made them from her wig. it's on Kawaii Pateen on how to do the makeup and the horn wig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an6g_TdZa8E
>>8688454
>pastel moitie
Like this?
>>8689047
kek'd
>>8689047
the pink is too warm and the black is shoehorned. cool it down and use a more complementary color for the accessories.
Why do so many people think a creepy cute coord NEEDS black it always makes it look worse
I found another dream dress, this fucking Sweet Monster Castle is to die for. There is also a gurokawa vibe (the bunny nurse!)
>>8688145
AP 's forays into more gothicy dresses do well for this style- so do Royal Princess Alice prints. I just love combining colors and motifs/themes from all my pastel 90s shit with the gothic lolita that followed my teen emo phase. I'm adamant bittersweet or pastel goth lolita cam be a thing but dislike how most people balance the different elements or main pieces they go for. Also hate the 'any sweet print in black = bittersweet' mentality
>>8689185
Because they think Black=Goth=Spooky, hence why so many label black sweet outfits as gothic.
>>8689446
Wow I love the way that color looks crimped
>>8686279
>these idiots think that the JSK is purple
Regardless of colour, the "coordinate" looks like shit and you have bad taste.
>>8688432
Still mad I never got one of these dresses when I had the chance.
>>8690046
They always claimed they would rerelease it but the whole brand went like suddenly went *poof* and didn't do shit anymore. I wish there was more Junko Mizuno inspired stuff, she was the one who invented Gurokawa in the 90s before it was cool.
>>8690067
Checked their website and it says they're bringing their lolita dresses back and their shop has products in it so there's still hope.
>>8690067
Could you post some of Junko Mixuno's stuff? Or I guess some inspired by?
>>8688537
>makeup spot on
I'm sorry for your standards
>>8689728
it's clearly blue and gold, desalinate yourself m8
>>8686294
Oh man, source for that sweater?
>>8690077
That's on their website since october 2014.
>>8690078
I will try.
>>8690181
She made quite a bunch of fabric patterns besides her manga works but I have never seen them used.
>>8690183
WHY IS NO ONE USING THEM
>>8690183
>>8690207
>>8690181
Has it? Damn. I signed up for their newsletter anyway just in case. One day, maybe.
>>8690216
Yep I'm going to be the middle one for my next con no fucks given
>nobody posting yukaman
>>8690216
Sauce in these? They're hella cute
>>8690749
This. I want them.
>>8690081
Go ahead and tell me what's wrong with it
Has there been any cute coords with teased hair? Or a teased up wig? Looking for a wild look for inspo!
>>8693475
Haven't seen much with teased hair besides the OOT twintail wigs.
The bear is the best part.
>>8693665
>>8693666
>bear ripping apart
>666 posting number
>>8693666
I need that bear in my life.
>>8689511
I love the pill/ medicine/ medical motifs!
>>8693666
I wonder what brand is that bag, i want it.
>>8693700
It is kind of booming in jfashion since summer.
>>8693729
Idk, the only thing that gets listed is Sex Pot Revenge and that she is https://twitter.com/agehamihamu
>>8693739
more this less eyeballs
>>8693775
I don't get the fuss about eyeballs anyways, there are so many ways to make something look creepy, like teeth, doll parts, other human organs, etc. I have seen some outfit with ribbons that look like guts, sadly I can't find it anymore.
>>8694382
Yeah, good thing it is nothing that can't be removed with some tools.
>>8693749
>https://twitter.com/agehamihamu
Her look is cool, it's somewhat visual kei. It's a pity that bag is unknown brand, i would like to see more zombie bear bags.
>>8694628
I bet it wouldn't be that hard to make anon. You gulls are talented I'd love to see an attempt.
>>8694667
I can do jewellry with polymer clay but sewing not much or other textile crafts unfortuntely!I just hope someone would sell similar items.
>>8693739
Does anybody know a tag for this creepy cute medical stuff on taobao? This shit is what I live for and I've been waiting for guro nurse style shit to become a jfash.
>>8690216
>>8690276
Miznotic Fantasy series by Junko Mizuno. The middle one's name is Chika.
>>8690589
>tfw i had that as my wallpaper for a year.
feels nice.
will post yukaman/manglo.
>>8698886
No because it doesn't exist on Taobao, even in Japan it is still rare outside of a hand full of brands. Clothes with prints of "sick" girls can be found in the Soft Sister tag once a while but besides for Pink Savior and Elfe In Our House, it is rare.
So do you think I'll get called out for making a shirt just like this just cause I don't wanna spend $45 lol
>>8703208
make it a cat or something instead if your worried about it
>>8688537
The bathing suit as a dress looks like shit and the whole outfit is awful. What are you even smoking, anon?
>>8703208
You won't get called out unless you start selling them or flaunting over the internet.
