Wtf. Her coords aren't amazing by any means, but usually they aren't THIS flabbergastingly awful. WTF is this shit? She's shown that she has enough money to buy full sets and shit from brands like Haenuli, why the hell did she waste money on this?

>inb4 "she?"
to my understanding she's a transgender woman that started her transition late

actually, that's what I believed, but now seeing THIS photo I wonder if they are a fetish crossdresser.

Honestly her biggest problem is just her looks, which honestly, she can't really help THAT much. I know she can put some makeup on, but, yeah.

like, with some of her coords, if you just covered her face, they really don't look all that bad, just an average newb coord.

I was about to call vendetta until I saw the tights, geez.

>>8706287
this is as ugly as sin, but with some adjustments it could be not labia minora-kei, but oldschool

replace the ugly lace, reshape neck into a square neck
lengthen skirt and chop off asymmetrical parts
remove the corsetry and whatever the fuck they were trying to do there and replace the sleeves with bell sleeves

and it may look less like shit. but at that price it isn't worth salvaging.
>>
>>8706355
That's reconstructing it completely. And it would still look like shit. The materials suck and there isn't enough of it in the skirt.

i did say it wasn't worth reconstructing, though. it was probably intended to be oldschool, judging by its shape.

>Do these women know what bras are?


If I had Bill Gates type money I would set up a fund for proper bras for ladies like this. Such a shame to let them just melt like that. it can't be comfortable and all your clothing would show it.

I'd also insist that we go on a jog/fast walk together and do some pectoral and back exercises to help the girls not cause them as much annoyance and pain.

Baring all that, if they wanted it I'd give free reductions. Because sometimes genetics hands you too much and you gotta rein it in.

>I really wish he would just quit lolita already, he's never going to look good


Ans from the heart: Well maybe she knows and they just want to feel good.

Ans from head: Yeah they can't even make a proper face for pictures let alone do makeup to reduce the manface going on. Might as well call it and just dress in a way that compliments the face and that means dressing as a male.

As a person with looks that sometimes don't match the aesthetic I am going for I either:
1. Nail everything else because that's something I have control over.
2. Scrub the attempt because I can't get it look good so try something else.
>>
>>8706527
What I wouldn't give for a reduction. I would fit into so much more brand if it wasnt for my tits. I hate how large mine are, but because I do a lot of exercises already they don't cause me back pain, so my insurance won't cover it because it's not "medically necessary".

Front could be saved by tailoring+Spanx. The back is far too lumpy for anything to make it look better. Poor girl looks like Jabba the Hutt from the back.

>>8706739
don't mean to derail too much, but what did you have to go through to get it? You just went to the doctor, said "my back really hurts, can x surgeon give me a reduction, and oh, doc, here's the insurance papers I need you to sign pls" and you get the funding and bam! no more tits? For the record, I've had chronic back pain from my breast size, but I didn't realize insurance covered it if I mentioned it.

Pretty much what I did was first go to plastic surgeon where he said I qualified (stretch marks, unpoportional, neck pain) and them went to my normal doctor and to get it officially documented of pain. Then the surgeon office contacted the insurance company. It usually takes like 3 weeks for it to get approved. Mine took 3 days for some reason. Then that was it. A week later an outpatient surgery for 4 hours. 2 days afterwards of horrible nausea. Week later drains out and was back at college only restrictions were not lifting heavy things and to running and swimming. Now 2 months later just scars.

Add some interest to the hair, a small fascinator or bow, curl or style that shit, at least. Get rid of the weird gauzy necktie and belt, add a solid coloured accessory to the neck, and either swap the socks for printed tights or pull the socks down, they make the legs look fat af. Go for oxford heels and a simple mature bag. Might also benefit to pull the skirt down a bit and pull the blouse up so there is room to move, and that would be a solid outfit.
And clean that goddamn mirror.

I think it was just bad wording. Usually when people talk about 'that doesn't belong here' in regards to a photo posted in the ita thread, they mean it doesn't belong in the ita thread.

Nope she's a woman for sure. She has a bad case of anorexia and doesn't take care of herself hence she looks like crap.

She never even really wears Lolita as far as I've seen, but how do you even bring that up as a comm? It's easier to just let her go and pretend she doesn't exist. She seems nice enough at least...

She looks like a frustrated cosplayer here. How can you mod a Lolita comm and not wear Lolita? Or I guess the question would be why? No one has said anything, seriously?
>>
>>8714616
No matter how you try to bring it up, if you're not her friend then you'll always be viewed as a massive cunt for trying to help.
It'll be one of those 'well, nobody asked you, anon' type of thing.

With as much conversation about clothing, sales and acquiring new Lolita pieces as there usually is at meets, I just don't get it. It would be like this huge unspoken topic...awkward!

>>8714692
If you guys like the comm and have fun then just go on like you are, there's nothing wrong with it. Occasionally some photos may get posted like here and things may get said but next week someone else's photos will be here and so on...

As for myself, I'd be unsatisfied with it and would travel to a different comm or gather a few people who did dress Lolita for meets though, it irks me when people are trying to be in the fashion but don't actually do the fashion. I work hard on my coords, manage my budget and want to circle with others actually doing Lolita.
>>
>>8714746
the comm this picture is from has plenty of really great lolitas, they tend to run in their own circles of equally well-dressed friends. so it's not like i go to meet-ups and feel like i'm in some sort of ita mess. the girl i'm defending has worked really hard to put meet-ups together and essentially kept the comm together, especially when one of our other mods moved away. despite if her fashion doesn't fit the comm anymore, we'd definitely be a huge mess without her.

but like you said, next week, it'll be somebody else's photos so it's best just to leave this be.
>>
>>8714599
This makes me so sad because she clearly put a lot of effort into the outfit but the result was just....blah
>>
>>8714746
lets see your amazing coords then.

the comm that photo is from has plenty of well dressed girls, this photo was just unfortunate.

If you would leave a comm because of a few itas and average dressed girls, I hate to tell you but you'd be disappointed, there's itas everywhere.
>>
>>8714808
I never said mine were so amazing just that they are definitely Lolita. I also said if they are happy they should continue on however they wish to. No need to be defensive. All that was shown was the one group photo then the second photo of the comm leader and no, they are not terribly well dressed. So that's what the comments were based on. I'm sure there are many very nice girls everywhere but in some places it IS expected that people dress in Lolita to come to meets. Some of us like it that way too and it's OK to talk about it.
>>
>>8714794
It's a really creative outfit but it's just not Lolita. Now I'm wondering how many groups have people who attend meets but don't dress Lolita much or indeed ever? I thought comms were more strict about that most places, it's certainly been my experience that after your first meet or two you are expected to start putting coordinates together.
>>
This is actually more pastel goth than lolita.
>>
>>8714826
I live in bumfuck nowhere so my comm has maybe 10 people who actually attend meets. Not to mention that I'm the other girl who's comm mod doesn't even wear it. We once had a girl show up in a Kiki cosplay and pink wig.
>>
How do people actually go about enforcing lolita wear in a comm? If someone's not my friend and they haven't asked for con crit I never feel like it's OK to say anything about what their wearing, even if it's a mess or not really lolita. So like... how do you promote a culture of dressing well within a comm?
>>
>>8714905
The problem is that you can't. The best you can do is hold out hope that their fashion sense will develop as they gain a better sense of what works/what doesn't with a coord.
We all start somewhere, and unfortunately there will always be people who (even with lots of experience) still can't coord for anything. I almost wish that comms would promote "meetings" of sorts where everyone could gather to politely discuss the positives and negatives of each person's coord.
>>
>>8714905
In mine, we don't invite them to more meets if after a few meets they don't start dressing Lolita. But our comm is more private, not just out there for all to see and join and we don't have members that aren't already dressing Lolita, we don't add people until they already are. I'm not sure how the comm mod does it because we aren't very close friends but she keeps the group well in line. If I host a meet, I invite people and post the theme or dress code, usually after asking a couple of people what seems fun. I rarely deal with noobs and will quickly pass them off to the people in the group who enjoy coaching them along because I really don't! If they don't progress along, they don't stay around. The other nearby group I attend frequently is a private group of established Lolitas and the mod rarely adds anyone, maybe 2 per year if that for the several years I've been attending and we all dress nicely in Lolita. We do also attend the public local group meets there when they do something fun. And yes, there have been some grumblings about the privacy of some groups but it's ok to make a group with just your friends and keep it that way. Especially if there is an open public comm already.

>I almost wish that comms would promote "meetings" of sorts where everyone could gather to politely discuss the positives and negatives of each person's coord.
I would love this so much honestly. This would help soooo many people but at the same time I know that if implicated would cause a lot of drama in comms.

I think that concrit is always great (if people ask for it) and I think being a shining example of good coords and what not is probably the best way to go about it without being direct. Unfortunately this anon is too right in which you pretty much just have to hope that they want to get better. Though I think if you grow as a community and encourage good coordinates it can only help.

For some context, this coord was worn to a convention over Halloween weekend; she decided to go with a "sea witch" type theme, which I think actually went pretty well! The shoes and her lipstick choice are probably the only things I'd nitpick, though I'm pretty sure she did say she wanted to look drowned/ghostly/etc.

It's a good sea witch type costume but it's not Lolita. In any case, I'm not the one posting her in the ita thread or calling her out, I just commented that it's odd that a Lolita comm leader isn't wearing Lolita. Sounds like some people are unhappy about that and others are defending the comm. I think they should work it out within the comm, or just ask advice if they are unhappy, not post people's pix here as a way to try to deal with it.

This seems like something that could be a whole thread by itself for discussion. You want to have a group that is welcoming and inclusive as possible BUT you still want everyone to at least dress in Lolita and better still do it well and keep improving. How to achieve this if your comm is already lax about it, itas are staying ita and people aren't trying very hard? What do you do and how do you go about changing things?
>>

Get your best people together and try to lead by example. Get active discussions about coordinates or how you personally go about coordinating items or building wardrobes. This can be done online as well as in person at meetups. Challenge others simply by setting high standards for yourself. However, you can't make anyone do anything and you can't make anyone improve. I think people get too caught up in what everyone else is doing and fail to pay as much attention to themselves. All you can do is try to influence others and constantly try to improve and grow and push your own boundaries.

Keep in mind that not everyone can build their wardrobe as fast. If your comm is full of college students with little to no money, they're going to stagnate. Whereas people with money to spend typically improve at a faster rate. However people with poor taste my not develop better taste the same way that a newbie with good taste and a good eye may figure out what works best and may never have an ita phase at all.

Basically when you're dealing with comms, most of the time you're dealing with people all over the spectrum of age, experience, funds, skill, and inherent abilities. I think this is why people bitch so much about their comms. In a lot of places, not everyone is on the same level. I find that to be a big issue with my comm. I just try to focus on myself and do my best to get others engaged if I can.

First off, last time I checked this was an ita thread, Secondly, I'm not going to argue with you considering you don't fully understand the situation. I was extremely nice to this girl a lot longer then I should have despite the rude things she has said to me and my bf. As far as her getting into Lolita, I tried my hardest to help her and she did not want to listen to me despite the fact I was nice about it and she took it the wrong way and blew up on me. A lot of people have issues and she clearly knows that she has a problem, but I will not let anyone treat me any kind of way just because they feel like they're always a victim.
>>
>>8715884
I'm going to say this is more nitpick. Lose the wig, add a blouse and a petticoat and you'd have a decent if basic coord.
>>
>>8716386
I don't feel bad, I dealt with this person irl for some time now and no matter how nice I was to this person, they were rude and always acted like they were the victim in every situation. I went as far as inviting her to support FB groups and trying to hang out with her hoping it would help and she managed to piss people off in those groups too. There was only but so much I could do until made a comment that ended our friendship so there you go.

Why???

>>8717862

>will not let anyone treat me any kind of way just because they feel like they're always a victim

Topkek. Tell her off in person anon, don't get your "revenge" by having the internet bitch at her. She didn't post those pics in public, she didn't say she was a lolita, she sent them privately asking if they even had any chance of being changed into something worthwhile. Not ita, misguided.

If you don't want to be friends with her or if she's a bitch to you, tell her off and go about your life. Don't pretend you're doing something noble or justified here.
>>
>>8718116
If you notice the black strap on the left (peeking out under her op sleeve), she's surprisingly wearing a bra. The worst, most ill-fitting bra ever.
