Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here with this, but someone here might have an idea about this. Earlier this year I won an MBok auction for what was listed as a Boz dress, but turned out to be Atelier Pierrot to my surprise. I think it might be an older piece due to the style. I've never seen it before, and can't find details on Lolibrary or Hellolace. Anyone know when this piece is from, and what it's called?

>>8689209
You're looking for the coord help thread.

Delete your post ITT and repost the picture there.

>>8689209
I'm a sucker for RHS, so I'd say go with those, but for the socks you've chosen I think the other pair might look better. The knee-high socks might look odd with the straps of the shoes, but who knows, maybe it'll look great. Personally I like the heart bag more, because I've never been a fan of any type of animal theme, but the rucksack might hold more of an authentic oldschool feel.

>>8689223
Fixed thanks anon.

All black dresses look the same to me, but this is at least close?

>>8689248
That might very well be it! The only thing I can discern which might be different, I can't tell on your scan, is if the bit at the top of the bstline has any lace or trim on it, which mine doesn't. Otherwise, it's the same. Thank you! Which isue is this from?

What brands are currently stocking old school suitable socks? Where do you buy your socks from?

I've checked IW and Baby and they only seem to have black or brown left.

>>8690522
Check out AP for sure, they have several suitable socks for oldschool (assuming you're wanting knee high's) in varying shade's of colors to choose from.

>>8690535
Thanks anon, I didn't even think of checking AP as I don't own anything by them.
Yeah I was wanting knee highs or otks in plain colours.

Speaking of Meta, I'm seriously considering buying these bloomers from them. I'm getting a dress that's a little too short for me, so I might as well do peaking bloomers. The only thing is I'm wondering if they'll be long enough, I'm 5'5". If anybody here has done peaking bloomers before, where did you get your bloomers from?

>>8690703
Somewhat OT but whenever people spell it "peaking" instead of "peeking" I imagine they're a brolita planning on having a boner in their bloomers.

>>8690712
I'm sorry, I'm just so damn tired I'm fucking up my grammar.

Thanks anon.

>>8690703
Bought mine secondhand; they're originally from F+F and are actually good quality. I believe I paid $15 or so for them. I love them. They peek out adorably, the lace is soft. The only trouble is the ribbons on the legs get untied easily, so I have to double-knot them, but it's not noticeable. I'm thinking about getting another pair, perhaps from Meta. Good luck anon!

AP is actually going to release this sometime soon in the future, it's called Silky Lady. I typically prefer to buy old dresses, but this is actually tempting. I wouldn't say it fits the old school aesthetic to a T, but what do you all think?

>>8691666
Eh...this looks like a cosplay to me. Nothing really old school about it except for being black/white and featuring an apron. But I haven't been impressed with an AP release for a long time. They're definitely not a brand I would expect to put out a decent oldschool dress.

>>8691679
AP seems to be more of a "cutting edge" brand than say Baby or the more conservative side of Meta, so old school isn't something you'd expect to ever see from them.

>>8691666
It's really cute, but it just looks like a maid outfit. Not really oldschool imo.

>>8691380
I was going to ask these unshirred BTSSB dresses what are there usual size in bust and waist? I look through auctions a lot but rarely buy any unshirred pieces as I'm not sure they'll fit.

>>8692687
Not unless the proof picture is shit or something and you're the only bidder (items at 5000 often end up at double that) and not if you have to pay SS fees.

>>8692711
Obviously it's not going to be the same one, specifically, but I've posted plenty of auctions here that are velveteen for pretty reasonable prices.

A lot of them have been listed and relisted over and over again. I've been watching most of these for a few weeks, wasn't interested in myself because I hold out for ludicrously insulting rock bottom prices. But if anons are gonna smuggle classic old pieces into the west, I'd rather see them go to a happy home.

Considering that this comes with the dress, that caplet, and the bonnet, I don't even give a fuck that it's 17,990. It is literally a dream dress for me and it's THAT Meta dress. Anyway, I'm glad I bought it.

>>8692853
>>8692686
I have now found my answer although I am happy you got it especially as it was your dream dress, I already own the black but without bonnet or cape. I'd love to see a coord photo one day.

>>8692777
Damn I need to loose some weight.
My waist is close but my bust is much bigger, I'll just keep my eye out for shirred pieces at the moment (well maybe besides some Meta) thanks anon.

>>8692863
Thanks anon, I'll definitely drop a coord on here of it when I buy some matching accessories. I'm newer to old school but I've already gotten so many dream dresses I will never acquire. ;_;

When did you try and buy it? I bought it an hour ago.

>>8692876
Your welcome and I look forward to seeing it anon, I hope you find matching accessories soon. Oh anon I don't think that's necessarily true you never know what could pop up when it comes to old school and often most old school dream dresses sell for a reasonable price.

About then as well, I was processing a payment and it didn't go through and when I clicked on the page again it had sold out.

You're safe with old school Meta generally though. Their stuff was huge around 2000.

>>8692966
Protip: Stop posting about this everywhere in multiple threads out of nowhere or you will be the next HD anon. It's bad enough that you didn't even know the name and were saying it's your ultimate dream dress. It will likely take years to find and you're coming across as an inpatient noob who thinks dresses appear on command. There may be multiple (though I doubt many) people with it as only a fraction of people share their coordinates. We know you want it, enough said.

>>8692995
I've had this as a dream dress for several months now, but unfortunately lost the name of the dress as it had been posted in a coord thread a long while ago and I also fell out love with Lolita too so I haven't kept up with anything. Now that I've got more money to blow and I've been looking at old school threads, I realized that this is personally the one true dress I want to own more than the others. I don't personally plan on posting it anymore because there's already someone in the Dream Dress thread who posts it anyway, but it was at least worth a shot to post it around to see if anybody had at least seen it.

>>8692798
So because you're not interested in them everyone needs to know about them? How is that okay for people who are on the down low stalking them? I don't mind friendly competition but I do agree it'll drive up bids. You say good home, but what exactly is the alternative, who else from the west is trawling through these auctions?

Gotta agree with this. It's a nice gesture OP, but I'd prefer not to have a bunch of competition.

>>8692995
>>8693021
You see people who repeatedly post the same thing in both the BST and DD threads. Don't bother me because that's what those threads are for anyway. The more people who know about your dream dress, the more likely you'll get a link to it if it pops up.

>>8693085
But no one else was interested? If you were "on the downlow" and wanted them you would have checked the auctions yourself and placed a bid sooner rather than waiting for ages. Some have been up for months/over a year. If it was a rare item that had just been posted, sure. But not for stuff that is relisted over and over. Maybe you're bidding on one of the few items that are new with bids though. If so, yeah that sucks.

>>8693122
She's been samefagging all over the place about the cross OP and velveteen OP and is obviously a noob who doesn't want to do research.

>>8692853
Good on you anon. I don't think the price was bad for a full set in such good condition.

>>8693266
Exactly this. I was not the first person to post it in the Dream Dress thread, and I have seen at least two other people if not more posting it around. I'll admit that I have posted it in the Dream Dress thread and in the BST thread (not by itself, I had other items in the picture I was wanting to buy), so I don't know if it's me you're talking about or the other people. Literally I have looked through the threads and the only post of mine I see is in the Dream Dress thread, and that's it. Every other post you see is someone else.

Polite sage for no contribution.

>>8693266
Yeah but this girl managed to make it obvious it was her each time. The other people are chill and don't splerg out about it.

>>8693711
Read this >>8694088
Seriously, besides this thread and the Dream Dress thread, I haven't posted it anywhere else, definitely not recently. Who the fuck are you even talking about, really? I see another person who has it posted in both the Dream Dress and the BST thread. I have seen another person who has asked what the name of the dress is and I believe they were the same person who posted in the last BST thread before it archived. So no, it is not me all the time. I s2g I'm sick of this blaming people of samefagging shit.

Polite sage again.

Talking about >>8692966 who responded here >>8693021 who keeps posting about it in a certain splergy annoying way and also posted in at least 3 threads about a velveteen set she bought. I know several people want it but there's been an influx of posts since newfag saw it recently. No one cares if you post regularly in the dream dress thread quietly, it's when it's rambling on like a lazy 5 year old and you can tell who it is from that that it's annoying.

>>8695173
If it's so obvious how in the world can you not tell you just linked to the same person 3 times?

>>8695178
Because I assumed they weren't stupid enough to ask who I was talking about when I already told them and they replied

>>8695173
I'm not going to deny that I posted the velveteen dress in other threads, but I'm being dead serious about the Velvet Cross OP. There is another newfag who saw it too when I posted it in the Dream Dress thread and asked about it before posting it in the BST thread. At least I believe they are the same person. Also, looking at my posts that feature the dress I haven't been 'rambling' about it. In the last dream dress thread I posted in a picture with socks and stated how hard it is to find some socks. I also posted it once in an older BST thread once again with the same picture asking for the socks. I never even mentioned the dress, it was just there. You're making it out to seem like I'm desperately asking people if they have the dress. No shit you're going to tell who it is when I leave my email in the BST and DD thread in case someone will sell me the socks.

>>8695123
I know this is some people's dream dress but I can't stand what they've done to the sleeves, they feel unfinished. If it weren't for the ruffles at the end they'd just be tubes.

I'm not quite sure where the request was posted but I'm pretty sure it was in an old school thread, someone wanted a list of all the dresses Momoko wore in Kamikaze Girls. I found this image on tumblr and hopes it helps

>>8696683
I already know that, but continue to ignore everything else I just said. :^)

>>8697015
Not even the another anon but I think you're a lazy entitled newbie too. If you knew you would call it that. Unless you're lazy enough not to. Seriously, you should know the name of your dream dress.

>>8697680
I do know the name of the dress, I just shortened it and was too focused on writing a novel explaining why I'm not the only person posting it around. There's already someone else who's gone and posted it in the DD thread now, and they also posted it in the last DD thread too. The only times I've posted it is with some socks I wanted, and I didn't even talk about the dress or mention it (this was almost two weeks ago). This'll be the last time I write a novel about this, and if you see any future posts of the dress, know that it's not me posting it.

Is anyone else excited to wear their velveteen pieces soon? Winter can't come fast enough!

>>8697702
If you knew the name and you shortened it, you'd say SCC OP. So? No one cares if someone else posts it quietly and actually knows the name.

>>8700022
It's saved in my Google history as Velvet Cross OP when I didn't know the name of the dress but looked for the original coord I saw it in, that's why I'm so used to saying it like that as that's how I searched it for a long while. It's funny you should mention posting it quietly, because I remember that persons email posting it in the WTB thread saying they were willing to pay pretty much anything for it, and that was right after someone asked me for the name of the dress. I still have a feeling you're talking about someone else, even now someone has jumped on my dream dress list in the thread asking what one of dresses is (SCC wasn't in there, as I will no longer post it again).

>>8699866
I wore mine last weekend and it was perfect chilled weather, velvet op is best op.

>>8700230
Ah, I'm so jealous! It's not nearly cold enough to pull out my JSK and cape where I live.

>>8699866
I'm wearing mine this weekend and I can't wait. I've only worn it once since I got it about 2 years ago so it's about time I dusted it off.

>>8699866
It is a very warm spring where I am but I will still try to wear a couple of my velveteen pieces to indoor events. Enjoy the winter and all the velveteen fellow old school anons.

I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this dress? I posted it in this thread >>8699714 but got no response. I'd really appreciate it.

>>8702219
Thank you anon, I checked lolibrary in depth but forgot to look at Hello lace. Thank you kindly.

>>8702231
You're welcome!
I prefer the layout of HL, and also find it easier to find things there.
Plus their archives are old so very suitable when you're looking old(er) stuff, cause no need to sift through the newer things iyswim?

>>8702233
I definetly agree with you there except sadly a lot of the Moitie listings has been deleted from Hellolace.

Has anyone purchased anything recently or planning a coord?

Does anyone think that an oldschool revival is really possible at this point?

>>8702236
HL's Moitie database is mostly archived! http://web.archive.org/web/20130328004256/http://hellolace.net/wardrobe/moi-meme-moitie

It's been really helpful for going through older Moitie stuff since there are some things here that aren't listed on Lolibrary.

>>8705946
How do you mean? In terms of popularity? I think it's too toned down to ever really catch on again, though it will never really die. Brands keep releasing the same shit year after year, it just doesnt get the same hype that this seasons "trendy" releases do.

>>8705946
This is kind of a non answer, but I think it kinda depends on releases and trends and whether it'll go in a direction people are fed up with as they'll then turn to the past for inspiration. If they are, yeah I do think so, I can't remember there last time I was excited for a release, but I have a very minimalist kuro style. I'm not really a purist though, I like stung old school pieces used in a creative way, ie mixing with vintage pieces is my favorite, so it's a new take on an old classic.

>>8705948
>>8705961
at this point I just want more non print items and fabrics that aren't chiffon. I also want embroidery to make a comeback

>>8707637
Same, I doubt a solid velvet piece will ever come out again but it would be amazing.

>>8705947
Oh anon this is excellent thank you, you've made my day! I have a few older Moitie pieces so really appreciate it.

>>8705946
It depends on what you mean by your question. Do you mean a large number of western lolitas wearing old school/taking inspiration from old school? Or whether brands will release a lot of old school/old school inspired pieces?
I think both are possible, there definetly is some interest in old school in the western lolita community and quite a large amount of COF posts lately have featured old school coords or coords using old school pieces. However a majority of lolitas seem to be interested in OTT and/or latest prints/releases. I'm not sure how popular old school could really be nowadays. If you mean the second meaning, some brands especially Baby and Meta do release or re-release old school items, even this year both brands have.

>>8707899
Meta's velveteen series from last year was solid without the chiffon and also a few years ago BTSSB released a solid velvet jsk.

>>8707637
BTSSB classical series, was mostly re-releases of non print items that aren't chiffon which also included the embroidery cart jsk.

was chiffon ever used in old school?

>>8705947
Why was it deleted in the first place though? Moitié still do Lolita clothing, seems a bit odd.

>>8714227
Only thing I can think of is the cream puff op by iw.

I wish that the use of non brand printed fabric came back, I miss the tacky floral couch dresses.

>>8714227
Pretty much never.. Mostly velvet and cotton.

>>8723900
I'd give my left tit for a velvet revival.

>>8696885
So I was looking at that site and it didn't id any of the pieces. What's the name of the blouse she wears with the blue heart apron? Please and thank you, I own quite a few dresses and no perfect short sleeve blouse like that

>>8725187
I'll pair my right tit with your left for this shit. I'm so up for a velvet revival.

>>8725187
Velvet looks really nice, but it's really warm, isn't it? I worry it might be impractical where I live, unfortunately. I'd still love to see velvet come back so I could look at other people's coords online.

>>8725767
Very warm and I am always afraid I'll sweat and ruin it, it's pretty delicate

>>8725187
>>8725767

*Velveteen.

Velvet is too shiny and cheap looking, and to my knowledge, has never been used in lolita.

>>8725800
I've seen some pretty hilarious crushed velvet Baby dresses, but normally, yes, velveteen is more common

Anon, this dress in the black x white color way is now up on Wunderwelt if you are interested.
It even comes with a headbow. Only 7990 yen too, very reasonable price.
http://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/detail6721.html

I too prefer velveteen over velour or crushed velvet. It looks more luxurious and it isn't shiny which is a big issue with low quality velour/panne/crushedvelvet.
But there is a big difference with bad velour and good velour!
I own 2 velour dresses by Baby though, and it's not the ugly cheap kind of velour, it looks really lovely. I wouldn't hesitate to buy other velour dresses from them.
Bad velvet/velour is usually used in western goth clothes (those fucgly "vampire" dresses haha), and I'm glad it's rarely used in Lolita cause that shit looks as bad as shiny satin.

Posted in the dream dress thread, too, but I thought it would also be appropriate here.

Thanks! I got it from Y!Auctions. An anon from the dream dress thread sent me an email about it, and I ended up getting it for the starting bid. I'm so excited, but it hasn't even reached my SS yet. Must have patience...

>>8733689
Was it that ~42000 set? I posted that a few months ago and it wasn't selling if you found something better you're a lucky duck
I've loved that colourway since I got into lolita again but it's weirdly hard to find second hand and I didn't have $500 to drop on it.
Anyway congrats!

Thanks, anon. It was ¥39,000! Which is about $318 right now. (Worth it.) I've been looking on and off for a while now, but I never saw this colorway pop up. (Guess I missed your post.) I got the black and white one immediately after posting a WTB for only about $100, so I was surprised when the red and white ended up being so hard to find. I guess it's a rarer colorway. Maybe no one wants to get rid of it? I think that just ended up making me more determined, though. It's so rewarding finding it after so long!

I am really happy about this bonnet, too.

I think this is cute, but what's with the shorter skirts like this you see in some old school street snaps? They go well above their knees here, would look kind of weird without the bloomers. Was this a common thing?

(It's not just some weird angle trick, is it?)

Is it not? I guess I don't know the date. The sleeves strike me as old school, but that bonnet does look more modern, being pretty stiff. And the shoes look pretty new, now that I look at them. Maybe you're right.
