Lolita general: daddy's cummies dress edition. Old thread is autosaging >>9019915
At least there aren't any crosses on it, right? Are any gulls going to pick this up? Will it be popular outside of /cgl/ like wrapping cherry was?
I like it but I get paid on the 3rd so I guess I'll have to get this second hand some time.
Also I like Dreamy Planetarium and everyone here seemed to hate it. /cgl/ opinions are whatever because I've got the sailor cut hanging in my closet.
This is a question I've never seen brought up: would anyone or has anyone ever worn an underskirt just as a skirt?
Little Dipper has some pictures of girls wearing their underskirts like that (they aren't great though) and I feel someone could make a cute coordinate with the one pictured here, if they covered the elastic waist with a sash or wore a long enough jacket. Thoughts?
I get tired of seeing AP discussion heading lolita general. Sometimes I feel like that's all it is.
>>9025437
Well maybe instead of complaining and doing nothing you could make the next thread when this one sages with another brands release?
>>9025437
That's interesting me and I'm sorry but I am part of the reason there is so much AP discussion in LolitaGen. I like their stuff.
I like other stuff, too though and I rarely see stuff like Baby and AATP getting discussed unless someone forces the topic of their releases instead, and the same with the other big brands.
However I've noticed that /cgl/ even though they try to distance themselves from the so to speak "hivemind" - there does seem to be a large group here that likes classical looking stuff opposed to anything else. Especially over the years from what I've seen in self posting.
And when people talk about dresses they like on here? It's always something that looks like it leans towards a more mature look.
It's like everyone here is interested in maturity but can't actually maintain it in themselves.
>>9025443
speaking of hivemind tier responses.
>>9025452
If you have an issue with brands not being discussed enough why not bring it up instead of complaining? Seriously, where's the logic to whine that something isn't happening when you could help it happen?
>>9025462
wow are you a bot? It's like you just repeat yourself in different ways... it's kind of impressive.
Anyway. I'm the other anon that replied as well
>>9025449
I like talking about AP so I can't really be of help in this situation.
Anyway, about this release.
I really like the JSK and I really want the pink colorway but I bet that'll be hella popular and hard to get so I might settle for sax.
Also what is the lighter color of blue they are offering?
>>9025468
no, it's just I fail to understand why people whine but do nothing to fix what they are taking issue with.
>>9025435
The coord I'm planning I'm using an underdress from VM with a Roland jacket over it. It can work pretty well I think. You might have to add a bit extra to make it not seem too pain though but that looks like it could be a cute skirt.
>>9025390
I'll probably pick it up 2nd hand. I still have my shooting star and melty moon bags that don't go with much now that I sold some stuff in my wardrobe and I might try to find it. It goes really well with the shit I sell at my artist alley table, and sadly my wardrobe has drifted over to a more elegant sweet rather than pastel vomit.
I'm kinda holding out for Diner Doll, still need to pick up some older releases I missed.
Someone posted up a really awesome info-graphic about getting 'v' shaped, j-fashion style bangs a while ago. Does any anon remember what I'm talking about, and could re-share it? Going to get bangs cut in tomorrow and I wanted to bring along a good example or explanation of what I'm looking for.
>>9025489
Holy shit, I really hope this is true hahaha.
>>9025521
Me too; can you imagine them having all those AP decals everywhere as their stock sloooowly sells to random people and they have no way to re-stock it because AP has blacklisted them?
>>9025521
Wait, isn't this is the same notice that they put up ages ago? It's in the wayback machine going back a few years. This IS the first one from that other instance.
>>9025489
AP tears off the bottom part of the tag with every purchase
>>9025521
But the AM shop is listed on the official AP website.
I don't like AM either, but that anon is just stirring up shit.
>>9025627
Do they? I've never been in a physical AP shop. I know they don't tear/cut the bottom of them off of my online purchases unless it's something that was on sale.
Either way, stock in a legitimate shop shouldn't have cut tags. AP wouldn't cut them prior to sending them to a legitimate stockist.
I'm just imagining Maki and Asuka sitting there like this about the whole thing.
>>9025642
well shit. it didn't used to be. GDI AP, why?
Anyone reserving items from IW or Baby/AatP? Or waiting for any upcoming reservations?
I'm excited for the bear dress from IW and might get it in white. Though I know it's a rerelease.
>>9025517
Never mind, found it!https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bOtnwgB9nh1HPKFPGY50JqtjibooeHZ6a3TCsOfAkDQ/edit#slide=id.p
>>9025437
LOOK AT THIS UGLY ASS CUT CUNT HERE FUCKING DISCUSS THIS REEEEEEEEE HAPPY NOW ????
In all seriousness, I wish baby would actually release something I like sometime soon. Their recent stuff sucks. I don't like AP, but I'm about to start buying it because of AATP and baby releasing ugly ass shit
This is still available in this God awful shiny ass fabric. I wouldn't give this to my boyfriend to wipe his ass with. Looks like a retarded child's first communion dress with that cut
Here's some impossible to coordinate bright-ass meta. I think the print is very ugly and clashing
>>9025435
This would look great with an excentrique corset and a fancy blouse
I was hoping to get this on sale, as I don't want to spend a lot to look ita. But it has sold out in everything but blue
>>9025437
I was honestly thinking the same thing earlier. It's just sweet dominated in general and it's kind of rare that another brand dominates a lolita general thread. Everyone's gotta give their shitty "ew it looks like melty cummies xD" opinion 13 times on a rehashed AP dress.
Fully stocked... this is so plain. I don't like the cut, design, or shiny fabric. I'd buy this if a taobao brand released it for 25 USD
I don't like AP, but I understand why it inspires so much debate - it's because the prints are colorful and crazy that you get polarized opinions. Look at this classic shit from vm, I love it but it looks the same as everything else they release, so there's not much to be said. It's nice?
Ugly fabric, random lace on shoulders. Not much to discuss about this
>>9025437
I really enjoyed the Mana talk we had a couple of Lolita Generals ago.
My comm is also sweet dominated too. Sometimes I think I should become a lone lolita. Talking about AP or Baby all the time wears me down.
>tfw no one in your comm appreciates non printed stuff. no clue about jetj, jm, mm, mmm
ps. Old picture of Mana. I wouldn't have recognized him. He looks so pretty.
>>9025698
I'd kill for that skirt but VM is a bit expensive usually with how plain their pieces are. I stopped looking at the site because of it. Plus I don't really like most of the IW solids I bought, they just don't feel special compared to my AP and baby prints. I have a feeling if I bought that solid VM I wouldn't be able to coord it interestingly enough
Whoa, hold the fucking phone. Can we discuss how fucking hideous this abomination is? The colors hurt my eyes, the print is OTT tacky. It looks like meta trying to copy AP
>>9025698
I love VM and apron frill is one of my dream dresses in green. I'm considering that ivory lace one there. I fucking hate prints, they're mostly ugly tacky shit.
Another IW monstrosity that is pretty much a rerelease of the mangy cat print. Looks like someone made this print in Microsoft word with clip art and copy/paste
>>9025613
Lurk more before posting, bitch
>>9025706
I love this dress to death. I can't wait till I get my first paycheck and I can blow it all on this and the matching accessories. I'm thinking of getting the normal waist cut, though.
>>9025726
They really do keep dropping the ball hard. I feel like they'll come up with decent concepts (e.g. A Les Mis dress? Such a great idea IMO) but will fail terribly at the execution. The upcoming AatP, the choir one? The most godawful fugly trim ruins an otherwise lovely dress.
I don't get it.
>>9025724
mmm yes, very informative, so glad you could help me anon! Also how did you know my name? You are so well informed!
>>9025664
Oooh, didn't see that, and I was thinking of trimming my bangs today, thanks anon!
Rando burando dump anon here... just found out I missed this print in the only good colorway. Fuck. Even if it's boobloaf city, I like this print a lot
>this colorway is obviously still available
>mfw
What's going on with fujiwara-sama? Is she feeling alright?
>>9025731
Anon... look at that random lace on the bodice. It's bad enough the dress appears to be navy x black, why on earth should there be a random piece of white lace? It seems very out-of-place. I like being tacky, I buy a lot of meta, but there are limits.
>>9025772
Right. Like I said, I'm not getting that cut, I'm getting pic related.
>>9025789
That's a bit better. The print is nice up close, it just seems unbalanced from a distance. Plus that blue is so bright, it might look OK in gothic prints, but something about the contrast just isn't appealing for classic. Here's to you finding matching blues and not getting boobloaf, good luck!
>>9025650
Their electronic paperwork must be easy as fuck when they sell out all the time.
Well, Melty Sky sold out in all cuts and colors.
>>9025700
my heart aches over GLB rejecting him.
>>9025927
It didn't sell out as fast as wrapping cherry did.
>>9025700
Here's him in an ita outfit (ita as in J-fashion ita)
He, too, was one human like us
>>9025935
I still can't get over it either.
I really want some lace Moitie socks. Please make them again, Mana.
At least MmM is releasing stuff now.
I hope Mary Magdalene will at least release one dress this year that isn't a re-release.
>>9025941
Still sold out within the hour. /cgl/'s popularity prediction flopped. I personally didn't think it would sell fast.
>>9025942
He still looks beautiful, desu.
>>9025943
>I hope Mary Magdalene will at least release one dress this year that isn't a re-release.
No fuck that I want Perfume Bottle goddamnit.
>>9025946
/cgl/'s popularity prediction is never accurate, though. I don't know why girls ever rely on it.
Does anyone know if the straps on AP's Tartan Holic skirt are detachable? I like the look of it but the straps make me think "maid"
>>9025957
I hope they do that too, but if they only do a re-release this year and not an original design, it would make me worry even more about the future of the brand.
Can someone help a gull out and post the Lolita pen where it looks like thr bear or bunny with the huge dick?
>>9025944
I don't really give a shit about brand loyalty, I was just bored and tired of hearing people bitch about AP discussion. Nothing else is interesting enough to discuss. I actually don't like AP, either. Sage for responding to your bait.
>>9025650
Yes, in the physical store. The bottom part is perforated, they tear it off and then add up your total using those
>>9025958
/cgl/ thinks throwing around the word "cummies" will deter people from buying some misty sky clone. They usually don't factor in Japan and the Chinese audience, which is way bigger and can have different tastes than us.
>>9025960
I was thinking nanchatte and Love Live!
>>9025963
I do hope they'll be around for some time to come, they make awesome stuff and I love their fabric and lace quality and how neat everything is made.
>>9025761
I like the black colourway. The only thing that annoys me is that the black stripe of the skirt front is not centered. They could have tried to do the pleats in a different way.
>>9026423
I noticed that for some reason cgl wants everyone to hate melty Sky. Some girl who posted the release pic got shat on for saying she liked it and thought it looked like ice cream and not cum.
>>9025736
The Opal Church Choir?
That braid is really not pretty. I liked the print though. Had there been a black/silver skirt I might have gotten one.
>>9026363
See now that just looks like a penis. How am I supposed to write holding an animal by its penis?
>>9026596
looks like cosplay
>>9026601
The skirts are prettier.
>>9026611
>prettier
nah, they're also bad.
>>9025700
Same here, my community is full of classic and gothic lolitas. Non print dress are underappreciated in my comm. Most of the new members haven't even heard of Mana. It makes me feel sad.
>>9025943
I also want those MmM lace socks. Hopefully they will release them again. It's something I miss in my gothic lolita wardrobe. I don't get why they stopped selling those socks.
>>9026622
I wish you were in my comm.
I haven't even seen anyone dress in gothic in my comm yet. I would prefer that at least. I mentioned MmM a couple of times and there were a lot of ..what... OH that's how you say that brand's name!
Poor Mana ;_;
>>9026622
Strange somehow - one would expect to see more non-prints among classic and gothic lolitas, at least I would. How does your community dress then?
>>9026635
My comm is either sweet or sweet classic. If they veer into classic, it's print IW which to me is nearly on the same level as Baby in terms of sweetness.
>>9026611
ok. This one is acceptable, but I wish it had Meta's quality instead
>>9026640
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the shiny ruffles either (and I don't like the cheap-looking buttons).
Do you have any examples for nice new Meta pieces to compare?
>>9026596
>>9026611
I like the overlay but hate the shiny fabric peeking out underneath, especially on the OP. I'm hoping I might be able to pick it up secondhand and hem the shiny fabric myself. It's still in stock, but $300 for a dress I don't 100% love as-is is a bit much for me.
>>9026645
Or maybe you can get it during a sale? I don't follow Baby/AatP closely, how much lower do prices usually go during sales?
>>9026645
Really hoping this comes up in the sale, not worth retail but still attractive with the embroidery.
I'm going to assume whoever posted this secret also lurks here. And I just wanna say: You're hilarious and I would be right there with you if we were in the same comm.
>>9026583
I've brought up the melty chocolate stuff being compared to poop before. Kinda like how people will say a babyruth bar looks like a turd. Or the way louie ck says the icing on cinnabons looks like jizz.
Nothing new.
>>9027196
What comm are you in cause I can totally relate to this.
Also I just made my first edibles the other day.
>>9027209
That's fine but when you demand that others look at it that way just because you do, you come off as throwing a tantrum. Why can't others look at it and see what it was intended to be instead of your perverse interpertation?
>>9027215
I'm in Texas. And nice! I've seen some super cute edibles posted from shops in CA and CO. Would love edible macarons and to watch Kamikaze girls in frills. The unattainable dream.
>>9027219
my dream is to open up a kawaii edibles cafe.
captcha: select all images with grass aayyyyee
>>9027219
>>9027231
This would be awesome!! I would become a professional baker if it wasn't for their shit schedules. Everyone wants you in at 5am.
You can make savory edibles too, though, which can also be made to be kawaii. Sanrio's already proved this.
Man, as soon as this stuff becomes more legal I am on selling that stuff as food.
>>9027217
I'm not sure what to tell you other than, this is 4chan where whatever you put, regardless of how innocent it is, will be turned into something shitty if it already wasn't.
>>9027257
I just have a hard time believing that someone can be so autistic to rage against absolutely anything they don't agree with. At that point I'd think they'd kill themselves. Guess that's too hopeful of thinking.
>>9027299
>it sold out so fast.
>It seemed to turn out a flop.
I hope that means I'll see it for sale as much as I do with DP.
inb4 double penetration jokes.
Do you gulls watch any movies or series that remind you of lolita?
Watching Gossip Girl and it makes me think of lolita somehow.
>tfw there used to be a french anon going under the name of gossiplolita who made a blog similar to the gossipgirl website and would do the same as in the serie except it was lolita centered
It was kinda amusing. It's been some years now though.
>>9027261
Yeah, I don't know and honestly, everyone here who does it is always reaching.
Like this version doesn't look like jizz at all, it's all blue, and cum isn't blue.
Same thing with another thread where some girl's hair got called turds because anon just wanted to say someone's hair looked like shit and decided to try and make it literal.
This is just everyone here's way of being a douche as per usual.
>>9027504
that girl's dreads did look like turds tho, white girl dreads in brown always look like turds. be honest with yourself
>>9027504
>what is a joke
The reality is that too many people here are overly sensitive. Don't let people dicking around on an image board get to you.
>>9027196
i want to open a huge clothing haul while completely fucked up, its the dream
>>9027655
I bet doing dabs would make for a great unboxing video!
So I'm attending my first meet-up next weekend and I'm going to wear this JSK, but someone in my comm told me Emikyu is not a lolita brand and that it would be frowned upon if I wear Emikyu to meet-ups. I don't see how this is less lolita than artsy JetJ dresses or AP sack dresses?? Emikyu is my favourite brand so now I'm wondering if I should just become a lone lolita.
>>9028191
It's an otome brand
>>9028191
Emikyu is not a lolita brand but a lot of their stuff can be worn in a lolita coord, your dress included. Your comm member is a dick for saying it's frowned upon. You will look cuter than any girl wearing some cheap but lolita bodyline shit. I wore Emikyu to meet-ups when I didn't want to go all out, but wanted something more comfy. I wear my Emikyu dresses with cute shirts, oxford shoes and without petti to work and stuff, so whenever I wear it to meet-ups I make sure to wear a petti, a lolita blouse and maybe some cuter shoes or at least lolita legwear. I never heard any complaints from my comm, just compliments. If you're unsure, just make sure your other pieces are pretty strictly lolita and you're good to go. Just rock your cute teddies, anon!
>>9028191
>Emikyu
You sound like a huge weeb, just say ETC. And no, it's not a lolita brand. How did you find cgl without not knowing something that basic?
>>9028191
Emikyu is an otome brand, not lolita. If you head on over to the coord help thread and ask nicely for help to make sure the resulting outfit is indeed lolita, they should at least be able to give you feedback on whether the result looks lolita or it reads too much otome to be lolita. Then just wear your otome-dress-coorded-as-lolita coord to the tea party, and say you know it's an otome brand but you tried to coord it in a lolita way, and things will be absolutely fine.
The real problem is that this is your first meetup, so you want to create a good impression, yet you seem rather pig-headed about insisting on wearing otome to a lolita meetup and insisting that every lolita accepts your decision to wear something different than what the meetup is for. If you're going to be the clueless newbie who doesn't know the otome brands/style from lolita brands/style and then pig-headedly shouts at everyone that you don't understand the difference and then demand that they explain it all to your dumb newbie self while you make them defend every painting dress and every sack dress that JetJ and AP has ever done, well you really gotta wonder if any sane girl wants to spend time and energy to do something like that for you. Especially if they've never met you before, given that this is your first meet.
>>9028201
>>9028223
ETC is not an otome brand either. They don't call themselves that, but for some reason people on cgl and tumblr label them so. They are usually categorized as lolita in Japan despite that they didn't promote themselves as a lolita brand. When ETC, JM and Milk were starting out the word lolita had a really bad image because of a child rapist. Otome was just a word to describe a feminine, luxurious style and the word has since gone out of fashion.
>>9028234
Unless she's attending a lolita meetup in Japan, I still wouldn't suggest she show up to her very first meetup and then proceed to tell everyone there that they're wrong, then get on a soap box and hold a lecture on the history of ETC/history of lolita.
But hey, it's not my reputation that's on the line. She can show up and be the annoying Miss Know-It-All that makes everyone hate her on first meeting, thereby forever dooming ETC to be categorised as otome because everyone will remember that letting people wear ETC to lolita meetups means you get lectured on how you and everything you know is wrong and everything ETC is more lolita-er than thou.
>>9028234
ETC, JM, and MILK do not consider themselves lolita brands, but "girly fashion". They make a conscious effort to separate themselves (not in same magazines, shops often on different floors, etc)
>>9028250
>projecting this hard
Are you that Oregon girl?
>>9028191
It's not a lolita brand but with the amount of crossover anyone who said you couldn't wear it I'd consider to have a grossly-sandy vagina. Wear it and be cute and know that person's an asshole
>>9028201
>>9028211
I thought it was okay for lolita because it's on lolibrary, closet child, lolita updates etc. and lolita's wear it. Now I'm a bit confused tough. I know about otome kei and I've looked at the otome kei general a couple of times but the people there seemed unsure if otome kei even exists and so I don't have much confidence in their opinion. I also dislike the otome kei styling so I stopped paying attention to it.
>>9028204
Thanks! My coord will probably look pretty basic but I don't want to go all out and be creative at my first meet-up either. I think I might post it in the coord help topic of my comm to get some opinions, it'll be more sugar-coated advice but at least my comm will know I'm willing to improve.
>>9028223
Why are you so angry?
>>9028254
I know they're not lolita brand either, I'm just tired of people labelling any ETC coords as otome even if it's the most basic coord just because of the brand name.
>>9028223
>>9028201
This is like saying everything AP does is lolita, cause it's a lolita brand.
No, those mini skirts an salopettes are not lolita, just associated with it.
This ETC JSK is perfectly fine for lolita. A lot of their items are often seen in lolita. Just make sure the rest of your coord says lolita. Nobody will care at the meet up that this is a JSK form a brand that's typically associated with otome. If they do judge you for not wearing an item from a lolita exclusive brand then fuck them they are idiots.
>>9028250
Do you really have to explain yourself when you go to a meetup? Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in, otome, lolita, who cares
>>9028256
No, no idea who she is.
>>9028258
Where do you get that I'm angry? I give you a solution and tell you things will be ok in the first paragraph.
Your original comment says you can't see why you're not allowed to wear a brand that people think isn't lolita to a lolita meetup, and then you go on to compare it to JetJ and AP dresses, not sure if you're trying to imply ETC is somehow more lolita than either brand, and finally you finish by saying you'd rather become a lone lolita if you're not allowed to show up to a meetup in your chosen (non lolita) brand. You're not exactly coming across as being open to answers either, you know?
>>9028267
She says in her original comment that someone in her comm already told her it's not lolita.
So eventually they'll tell her again it's not lolita, and then she'll end up soapboxing and having to explain that she got her information from 4chan.
That, and it also means everyone here telling her it's not lolita is repeating information her comm already told her.
>>9028266
That's what I said though? I told her to go to the coord thread so more seasoned lolitas can look over her coord just to make sure it reads as lolita and not otome.
Okay so I'm totally cool with paying loads for dresses and shit but I can't be the only one that gets caught up on the price of blouses right? Because all the nice ones are like £50+ but then I'm putting it under a JSK so I'm paying probs like £80 for sleeves and a collar
>>9028281
Same anon, 400? 500? for a dress? Fine, but christ, $150 for a blouse? Fuck off! I can see why a dress could be worth "more" --material, details etc but I struggle with blouses. I try to limit myself to only buying blouses under a certain price on auctions just to push myself to get more... my blouse game is pathetic.
>or maybe I should only buy OPs
>and die during aussie summers
>>9026643
I stole one from the net. I really liked this series.
>>9028297
Short sleeved OPs are comfier than layered jsks in summer imo, especially the sackish ones IW makes. Australian summer is shit though either way and you still die in shorts and a singlet
>>9025698
that underbust dress is fab
>>9025613
no, probably not, go and read the thread you linked and find it on AP's site if you're interested
>>9028281
this, it's all dumb
I'm also angry about pettis being expensive most places but I can at least justify that since it's something I'll use for like 2-3 years in every single coord
How do you gain followers as a new jfashion/lolita tumblr? Tumblr locked me out of my old account so I'm trying to start over, but I have no clue how to begin from scratch. I'm not looking for efame, I just want a few people to like my posts occasionally.
>>9028358
tag a lot and with the right tags
I can't tell you the right tags since I'm not so familiar with tumblr's community but avoid just 'lolita'
also it might help if you start or find a cgl tumblrs thread here and post your tumblr on there
So why exactly did Fanny Rosie move to Japan? It seems like its because of a guy which is so unexpected for her?
>>9025390
so I just checked how far I am in MLT's waiting list and I've definitely moved back three places from when I last checked, what the fuck? that's very much not cool. does she offer rush orders for more money now or what? if anything, she should prioritise small orders over big ones and I'm only getting two things from her
>>9028388
her prices seem to have hiked a lot too, what the fuck. she should at least announce that openly and not make people find it out as a surprise.
>>9028376
Did you put her on some kind of pedestal?
I feel like most lolitas want to move to Japan.
>>9028268
Probably because you keep saying things like pig-headed.
I know you're talking about being stubborn but other people might not get your phrasing.
Now shut up you fucking swine.
>>9028475
Not that anon, but that's a very well known phrase and Google exists.
>>9028490
What the hell is this?
>>9028477
Just another anon that only knows what Google knows
>>9028491
It's cute aside from the sticker, what's your problem?
>>9028500
Are you stupid? I was saying that if someone didn't know a word/phrase that Google can clear up what it means. Especially for those who are ESL.
>>9028501
Misfire? Was this supposed to go in the CoF thread?
What do you gulls think the chances are that Eternal Carnival Peplum will sell out in the next ~30 days? I really like the dress but I'd like to try it on and I'm going to be in SF in a month. Which colors are the most popular?
>>9028673
Lurk more.
>>9028268
You're making up all sorts of shit about how you think anon is going to be this horrible insufferable know-it-all, all from a single post. It really seems like you're projecting.
Personally I'd rather see girls show up to lolita meets in put-together ETC with a petti than in tacky BL shit, but that's just like my opinion man.
>>9028673
Definitely ignore anything cgl says about it. Look up what people on lolita updates, facebook, and tumblr think about it. Try to keep in mind what the Japanese and Chinese lolitas like too. Also even if a lot of people say they hate it they could easily change their mind once more info comes out and there could be just as many people or more who love it.
>>9028191
To join the chorus a little late, yes, that should be fine if you coordinate it in a "lolita way"-blouse, legwear, headwear, and a light petticoat. Anyone saying otherwise is being a dumbfuck. Also, like you said, if your comm is that fucking nitpicky about it, do you really want to be involved in that comm?
>>9028513
Not that anon you were replying to, but the connotation of pigheaded is stronger and worse than stubborn. That's what they meant by phrasing. Shithead.
>>9028843
You need to learn to reading comprehension. It's ironic you're calling other people stupid.
>>9028843
Did you reply to the wrong post or?
>>9027504
Her dreads did look like turd worms though, white people dreads do.
>>9028874
When anon wrote
>Just another anon that only knows what Google knows
they're saying you can't just Google connotation of words. Using pigheaded made anon sound like a douche because the connotation was stronger and ruder than the word stubborn, though that's what they meant. Not going to continue the shitposting if you don't understand.
Anyway,
>>9028673
whether or not it sells out depends on the colorway you're aiming for. It's been awhile since the release so I'd say no? But if it'll break your heart to miss it, I wouldn't risk it. You'll be able to find it secondhand eventually though.
Does anyone know what wig this is?
>>9028946
You can google phrases if you put them in parenthesis. You can also exclude words and phrases if you put a minus symbol in front of it. Like -nymphet for example. I hope this helps any other anons who didn't know this too.
>>9028358
How did you start in the first place?
>>9028950
It's Dreamholic's Dolly Cat wig worn without the twin tail clips.
>>9028964
Thanks, I knew I should have got dolly cat. My Boleyn wig came and it's a mess. Melva needs to step it up
>>9028376
She carefully cultivates her online presence- brief captions to her images, only really mentioning her "elegant" hobbies, very rarely posts photos of herself with other people (so unsure of her relationships) etc. It's impossible to know what she's actually like. You have to be at least a little bit trash to have such a great lolita wardrobe and fulfill the dream of having a qt Japanese boyfriend and moving to glorious Nippon.
>>9028972
awh god damnit. I wanted to get Dolly Cat but there was no listing so I got Boleyn.
>>9028959
And if remembering the symbols is a pain or you want to get even more specific, hit advanced search.
>>9028961
It was years ago, and my blog used to be about anime/vidya with the occasional jfashion post thrown in. I know how to get followers there but it's a different part of tumblr.
Has anyone ever ordered from Li-Paro?
I desperately need that axolotl print that's coming out soon, but I've never heard of the brand before.
What's the quality like?
The shop is through store envy so I assume they ship to the US, right?
So how about the shit that just went down in RC: Uncensored
>>9029208
Caps?
Does Q-pot have fakes/counterfeits? I know some of their sailor moon pieces do, but what about their other jewelry?
>>9029241
What I don't understand is...why didn't she just hand wash it herself? I don't know what her mother is really like and won't pretend to, but if she hand washed her dresses in front of her mom, then her mom probably wouldn't have messed with them.
Her mom probably thinks, 'My daughter isn't washing her clothes, which is gross' and, yeah, she should have listened to the kid when she talked about care instructions but if the girl is old enough to buy lolita she's old enough to wash her own fucking clothes.
>>9029191
I do have a few items from Li-Paro and the quality is stunning. She is a professional seamstress and that really shows.
I can't tell you about shipping though as I bought her stuff at conventions.
>>9029241
Cool story ahead, but my mom was the type who thought it would be... all right to take drastic actions with my weeb shit because it was affecting my grades back in high school. Let me tell you, those actions did not involve washing. It involved throwing out all the weeb shit that I loved and treasured.
I think her mom was trying in a very, very misguided attempt to help that girl with her clothing. I have a hard time believing the nature was of ill intent because I have experienced that sort of nature of ill intent with secondary love before. It doesn't work like "lol I'm going to ruin my daughter's clothes by taking the extra work and time to wash it."
>>9029250
>>9029260
In another reply, she did say her mom ripped up floorboards because she thought her daughter was keeping drugs hidden there. Mom does sound pretty unstable.
We could say she probably didn't mean to ruin the dress (could've done worse things) but she obviously disregarded what her daughter said, and mom or not that's just stupid. Too many horror stories because parents refuse to believe you when you tell them how expensive/precious/delicate your dresses are.
>>9029260
Hey my mom would do this too! Take gifts I was given and more and throw them all away if I did "bad" (I never failed a class) in school or I just pissed her off somehow claiming that all the weeb shit I had was "Inappropriate"
The best part was she would do this and then later would buy me things from the "inappropriate" series I liked and act like nothing ever happened.
>>9028972
If you don't mind me asking, what was wrong with the wig?
>>9029241
Have you thought of censoring people's names before posting? Don't put my name up there.
>>9029299
Yeah this isn't the farm. Isn't it a rule here that names must be censored?
>>9029317
It is a rule and anon is a cunt for breaking it.
>>9029274
Huh, well, she does sound very unstable. In that context then, maybe washing her clothes isn't as good intentioned as I thought it was.
>>9029284
Well, in the entire context of things, I was set pretty high standards by my parents from the start so if I got a B I might as well be failing remedial maths.
In any case, things got better when I got into college. She was really wary when I got into lolita and she would have discussions how 'dressing up' wasn't very professional, but she chilled out once I got a boyfriend. It's all chill now, and I live in a different state anyways.
>>9029332
Im glad she got more chill :) Mine did not, she became more and more unchill until she ran away after cheating lol Funny enough one of the only things we ever have been buddies about is alternative fashion like lolita.
I feel you on one thing though, me and my mom have gotten along so much better ever since we stopped living together.
I just got a Q-pot macaron necklace in the mail the other day and it was brand-new, never before used... and I put it on for a little bit today and as I was just walking around outside the top half on the macaron just broke off of the frosting! Has this ever happened to anybody before? It makes me feel really disappointed, this is my first Q-pot purchase and I was expecting it to have much better quality. Is it possible that it could have broken because of the heat outside? Also, does anybody know what glue would work best to put a Q-pot macaron back together?
>>9026363
I have this pen, it's really difficult to write with
>>9029288
Basically the colour was so off from what it was meant to be. It was a light grey (literally looks like faded brown dye on grey old lady hair, FYI)
The bangs are all fucked up, they won't look normal no matter how much I brush and I'm cared to use heat on it yet until I've got it sorted out. The waves aren't waves, but are tangled curls, kind of like someone started curling it then gave up and tried to brush it out. the stock photo obviously has some gratuitous editing, which is a given, but this looks like a whole different wig altogether. The other wigs I got from her are great and are honestly worth the price, but this one just wasn't right.
>>9028991
I hope yours turns out better. I was so close to going for dolly cat but the stock photo for Boleyn looked better. Guess that fucked me up well and good.
>>9028988
She basically had no friends in Canada as far as I could tell, she posted once about how people thought she had this great lolita life but really she was lonely or some shit and only really had her family and cat.
>>9029578
I was always under the impression that she was friends with a couple of the classic lolitas in the Montreal comm, but maybe those were just obligatory meetup photos?
>>9025699
Tbh, the strip of lace on the sleeves bug me too. Everything else is fine.
>t. Classic lolita
>>9028513
>Are you stupid?
No, but you are. I'm usually here mocking people for relying so heavily on google for all their knowledge needs. It's like people don't even think for themselves anymore and what's the point of having a discussion/image board if every question is going to get the same dull responses.
And then everyone here wonders why people won't "lurk moar" or "durrr why don't you use google you're on a computer duhh"
I've always come to the conclusion that people here don't have answers to questions and instead lean on their crutch that is a search engine. Instead of you know, coming up with stuff to type out cause lord knows if you type more than a sentence you are either "salty" or you're "annoying" for being able to type more than anyone else does.
>>9028684
Is it 2007 in here or something? Why do I keep seeing this phrase so often still.
Can you guys get with it already?
>>9029591
Did she do that thing recently where girls dressed her up in sweet? Was that just for blogging?
>>9029274
Yeah, I think it's the classic case of a parent not listening to their child when they say something's precious / delicate and thinking they know better. My mom was very flippant with my clothing and even though I washed and took care of it all myself, if I even turned my back for a minute she'd be there "helping out."
Thankfully it never went too far because I eventually snapped when I one day went to pull my organza petticoat out of the drier (I was air fluffing it) and found it hanging in direct sunlight with peanut butter in between pretty much every layer... turns out my mom had been handling my laundry while eating some peanut butter toast at the same time.
>>9029255
Thanks anon, I feel better spending brand level prices knowing the quality is worth it
>>9029641
Lurk more.
>>9030138
>I don't know how to say anything else so I spout outdated memes
>>9025390
I do think a lot of the 'melty' things look a bit unsavory. But then I don't like melty or drippy things in general so I guess I just don't get the appeal.
>>9030362
they're really popular for a reason, anon. you are probably just too autistic to get it.
>>9025435
The fancier ones would look really nice as skirts providing the top/single layer is not too see-through or you wore an underskirt under your underskirt. :^)
>>9030364
They are undeniably popular in lolita but I don't imagine they'd be as popular on western street clothes. I don't think melty chocolate or pastel melty prints on yoga pants will get stylish any time soon.
Autocorrect, 'yoga panda' is not a thing, proofreading is good.
>>9029451
Oh dang. That's to bad, and it was such a cute wig in the photos.
Just putting this here since I am always seeing gulls wanting fox prints

>>9029578
Getting a weird sense of schadenfreude from this, mostly because I wish I could be her friend and now that seems like to would be realistic if we were ever to meet.
>>9029578
>tfw sort of like her
>can't even move to be with my bf because I want a career so I'm stuck in a shitty town to complete training
Oh well. That's two things she has on me.
Wasn't she with this bf for years anyways? I know she mentioned him several times on her blog over the past several years. Is she really moving because of him though?
>>9029350
Did you buy it directly from Q-pot?
wtf, this blouse sells for almost 10$ cheaper on the Bl site
>>9030335
>implying it's just a meme and you don't need to lurk more
Did anyone else get this email from BABY?
こんにちは。BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT 通信販売スタッフです。
5月31日(火)Margarethaジャンパースカート、カチューシャのご予約に関しまして
先日メルマガにて、通信販売ご予約案内致しましたお時間を訂正させて頂きます。
17時30分ではなく「 14時30分 」が開始時間となります。
ご迷惑をおかけし、申し訳ございません。
また、「Margarethaジャンパースカート」「Margarethaカチューシャ」につきまして、
多くの反応が見込まれ混乱が予想されますので、ご予約初日のみご予約数制限をさせて頂きます。
According to google translate it says something about "my reservation", but I haven't reserved anything. I can't tell if this is a general email sent out to everyone on their mailing list or if there is some kind of misunderstanding.
>pls no blacklist
>>9030467
If it is out of stock in that color and size, Yandy Man sometimes takes FOREVER to restock so some girls jack the price, hoping someone will want it enough. If this isn't the case then she's crazy, maybe.
>>9030474
It's their news mail magazine, goes out to everybody
>>9030491
Thanks! That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure.
>>9029578
I thought itwas a little sad that all of he photos were taken by her mother, I mean it's good that her family supports her hobbies but she doesn't seem to get out much aside from family dos.
I also thought the pic with her sister was adorable but both their expressions seemed forced so maybe they dont get on as well as it looks.
>>9028491
The fuckin eyes though...
Okay so it just me or is the second hand market not moving as fast as it used to? I feel like all my sales are stagnant and I've lowered NWT brand items WAY below market price.
>>9030869
lol a couple of days ago we were actually talking about how it had finally picked up again after being slow for a while
>>9025390
>tfw a cummy cross print is only a matter of time
>>9030886
Isn't there already a print called Melty Cross something? Or have my mind given up on AP print names?
>>9028946
Except you can google the connotative meanings of words. OP might have used the word inappropriately, but google is a honestly most people's best resource.
>>9030897
There's Milky Cross but it doesn't look milky by any means so it probably doesn't count.
>>9030875
Maybe it's just going in waves now.
>>9030465
No I got it from Mbok but the seller said it was new. It still has its original packaging.
Does Q-Pot take a long time to ship or something? I ordered something for the first time earlier last week and it still says shipping in process...
So I have a bit of an issue. I asked a seller about 3 months ago if she'd negotiate on the price of an item that remained unsold since last year. She declined my offer so I thanked her for her time and left it at that. She messaged me after when she lowered the price (not to what I offered), and I declined. Now she's messaged me saying she's been holding the item and is going to report me for time wasting.
>never asked for a hold
> hold only appeared when I said I would 'hold off'
Should I ignore her or contact LM mods myself?
>>9031151
Just ignore her. You never asked for a hold it sounds like. So I wouldn't even worry about it.
>>9031151
Maybe contact the mods before she does, just in case.
>>9031151
Contact the mods just in case, since they're actually active again.
Oh yes Chanel we all know how much you love Cameo Window
Tea-length skirt with ankle socks: flattering or no? I'm leaning towards no (especially since my legs are a bit stumpy to begin with) but the ankle socks match the skirt better than any other legwear I've found so far.
>>9031268
Depends on your body. It can look super cute on someone with small calves
>>9031151
If you never placed a bid or purchased it through Lacemarket why are you worried? She can't leave you feedback.
>>9030875
honestly, it could keep doing this in waves through the summer and ILD most likely. the same thing with sales slowing to a stop for months happened to me last year when it didn't happen at all in 2014, where sales were steady and quick all through that entire year. and i list everything at the lowest possible prices.
>>9031151
kek if anything you should report her to the mods for threatening you for something you didn't even ask for
>>9030476
checked the website an the size and color are in stock
i'm seriously sick of people reign to sell BODYLINE stuff on lace market for more than they're worth
Does anyone know where I could get cute white tights (maybe with polka dots or something, but plain if necessary) by Friday? If you have recommendations for brick and mortar stores that would probably be best since I'm in a serious time crunch.
>>9031452
For just tights I'm sure could find some on amazon with next day delivery? I bought white one from forever 21 before though and they're really nice
>>9031463
I've been looking on Amazon but it's been hard to find the right kind, a lot of them are weird or have bad reviews. I'll try F21! Maybe H&M would have some too.
>>9031452
American apparel has opaque white tights!
>>9031514
I bought some pointelle knee highs on Amazon, but thank you! I am tall so it's for the better I went with socks.
>>9029633
>t.
are you from Finland?
When is Strawberry Whip being released? So much for it being sent out end of may
>>9031549
haha, I wish. I'm an Amerilard.
Nah, I just spend a little too much time on /int/
/polite sage
>>9031268
tea length is never cute
>>9031567
there is still one more day in May you idiot.
>>9031656
That's just like your opinion, man.
>>9031656
>>9031268
if you have dainty (albeit stumpy) legs/ankles, probably good looking but if you have ham legs and cankles, it's best to stick with stockings
why aren't there any lolita/jfash stores in chicago? there's one in new york and a couple in san francisco, why not the midwest
I want in store purchases without shipping time, dammit
>>9031881
I know the Lolita Collective is looking to open a store soon.
Also Houston has a lolita store.
There's no Meltia general again..
But just saying Melo graduated from Meltia.
The group is going to last.. how much longer now?
>>9031888
>Lolita Collective
oh nice! I went to their booth at acen and really liked the stuff they sell plus the people working were really nice!
>>9031891
Aw man, that sucks. I wish they would have put out some official music while they had a chance instead of a handful of yt videos. Feels like they died in production hell like so many acts do.
>>9031732
>31st may in Japan
Chill ameritard
>>9031987
>companies don't put shit like this off until the last moment
>A large portion of the world where it was the 30th is only America
Retard.
>>9032000
Obviously never bought off other brands when they release shit on time, esp baby when end of May = mid May
Eat more maccas lardface
>>9032007
It's not my fault I rarely buy from baby, you know with them producing shittily constructed lace monsters all the time there isn't much to buy from them.
So when will AP release Diner Doll and will this be a bloodbath?
>>9031268
That's my go-to look for my daily wear but I'm tall with slender ankles. I don't think it looks as bad on other people as some say. Of course more ruffly things will be less slimming.
Is it my imagination or second hand sales are very slow lately?
>>9032264
It's like we always have one stupid question asked repeatedly. Earlier it was "what petti should I get" and now it's people asking about slow sales. You're all probably just selling overpriced shit nobody wants.
>>9031452
>walmart
>target
>mall
>>9032273
no bitch, they're slow, this is an issue, fuck off
>>9032357
Thanks for linking the previous question, sweetie.
And lolibrary is down
