I really enjoy these threads every time they come on. While identifying a dress on Lolibrary I came across this lace monster from AP. Will post more if I find some, feel free to post gross brand.
>>9062487
Terrible fabric choice, also AP
>>9062487
>lace monster
Anon, please.
>>9062487
There's almost no lace on this dress
>>9062487
> ugly
that dress is lovely anon
>>9062487
>ugly
>lace monster
you seem like a newbie to lolita anon. do you have difficulty telling ita from oldschool?
>>9062516
Although this dress isnt a lace monster and that I love old school to death... imo this dress is kinda tacky.
>tfw remembering wtf_burando on livejournal
>>9064960
Yeah it is pretty ugly ngl
>>9062487
This would be infinitely improved by some simple lace detailing in the middle instead of the tacky faux corset ribbon.
>>9062487
>lace monster
I don't usually say this but....please lurk more, OP.
>>9062487
>this beautiful, timeless old school baby as the opening picture
How dare you.

>>9065034
>>9062487
What are you talking about OP? This is gorgeous!
>>9065025
This dress is the tackiest thing I've ever seen and I need it desperately. To me, it falls into 'so bad its good' territory. It's been on my wishlist for a year now lol.
>>9065025
ngl I fuckin love heart leopard. I know I have shit taste...
>>9065041
Good lord how high were they? This is like a dress that an ita, 13 y/o, "artist" would come up with for her lolita OC.
>>9065101
It's a collab with Tales of Xillia. One of the characters wears the almost exact same outfit.
>>9065032
This must be bait.
>>9065107
'Exact same' is a stretch, I still feel like they could have done better; but that explains a lot.
>>9065036
This is one of my dream dresses and I'd buy the one on mbok if i had the money
>>9065099
That's jewel leopard, heart leopard is a more casual series where the spots are actually heart shaped
>>9062487
People like you make me laugh, anon. You think you know enough about lolita to make threads like this but this is really embarrassing and I feel sorry for you.
>>9062487
The AP romantic frill OP is one of my dream pieces, it just looks so stereotypically lolita. It's pretty far from a lacemonster, anon. There is no way you aren't new.
>tfw i'll never find it for sale since it is a non print dress
>tfw even if i find it on sale i won't fit it because i am skinnyfat
this is so ugly, i desperately want it
>>9065036
hush, night carnival is magical.
>>9065556
That looks something out of Pintuck and Lace.
>>9065028
are you high this is fucking adorable
>>9065036
>Ugly dress thread
>Picks the least offensive colourway
Only good cut of this is the OP though. Navy OP is really nice.
![wtf_1[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/zv5mxuZ.jpg "wtf_1[1].jpg")
nevar forget
>>9066260
Interestingly this exact argument is why I want the navy OP. Reminds me of a witch barrier.
>>9066149
I don't like the cone of shame :(
The whole tiny grey print with black lace combo really isn't my cup of tea
>>9066548
>>9066550
>>9066552
a-SIN-metrical
>>9066556
Also came in this... cut? thing?
>>9066558
This is meta, but it looks like it's a knock off...
>>9066561
Here is an actual lace monster, just because it was brought up
>literally all this Meta baiting
Yeah, fuck you too, anon. Enjoy whatever you like right now, because the road to Meta is almost always after being tired of repetitive designs and being burnt on other brands. You'll come to it sooner than you think.
>>9066569
I just started in my Meta folder, relax. I'm literally going through thousands of images.
>>9066569
I like some meta, but the fandom is the worst and so easily baitable.
>>9066582
>>9066587
>>9066582
This is awful but holy shit I love it; with some serious effort I can see someone doing something cool with it.
Personally this looks really sloppy to me.
>>9066590
Mostly just the fake corset lacing around the skirt looks really sad
>>9066597
Again, this random tacked on ribbon looks sloppy
>>9066600
This also came in like magenta but I'm too lazy to find a picture
>>9066602
Really not sure where they were going with this
>>9066607
So many questions, AP, so many questions.
![DotChiffonOP-offwhite_0[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4DebXpR.jpg "DotChiffonOP-offwhite_0[1].jpg")
>>9066577
It's like they refuse to admit that their precious brand could ever produce something ugly. I actually like quite a few things from Meta, but some of their designs are honestly heinous.
Also have some ugly Mary Magdalene
>>9066613
>>9066617

To the person mindlessly dumping right now... are you even trying? Some of these are bad but most of the ones your posting do not belong here. These threads are for the worst of the worst.
>>9066644
>>9066645
It's some dumbass newb that doesn't understand that lolita as a style has changed but doesn't understand that old school =/= ita.
>>9062487
I'm kinda into it? It reminds me of old fashion lolita
delete this thread
>>9066556
>>9066558
you forgot pic related
>>9065024
Too many themes at once
>>9065025 not cute at all, and not very lolita. However, I could see a person in gyaru fashion pulling it off.
>>9065028
Low key into it
>>9066662
not every item released by a lolita brand is intended for lolita. shit aint it if it aint lolita
>>9065036
I wish the colors were more muted.
This thread is a travesty. Someone tell this uneducated newb to take a break from cgl and study lolita fashion more.
>>9065041
I threw up a little
>>9066618
would wear to hot topic/10
>>9066149
Good lord
>>9066666
ok but it still looks like something my granny would wear to church on sunday
it's still hideous, lolita or not
>>9066660
To be honest, I've always liked it in black, and this cut doesn't bother me as much. The lighter x black colorways bothered me back when they came out though, and seem even worse now that it' been a few years.
The red x black isn't as good as the black, but it's not as painful as the light colors, IMHO.
>>9066666
The topic just says ugly brand, and this skirt is probably one of the ugliest skirts I've ever seen.
>>9066653
There is more than one person posting images. For what it's worth, I like old school. I just find the handful of pieces I posted to be really ugly. Might just be a difference in tastes though?
>>9066149
Fight me, I want this so bad.
What I want to see are pics of people making these ugly brand dresses look good. Sometimes I see people wear pieces that are hideous on their own, but some people are able to make them look really cute.
>>9066680
I'm still mad at how badly they fucked up a Les Mis release.
>>9065028
Not lolita but I love this
>>9066694
Are you saying you're not a lolita, or that the dress isn't lolita?
This looks like a strap on harness...
>>9066700
>your adam's apple is so big it's a penis
>>9066700
This colorway with the heavy lace just looks moldy to me...
>>9066700
It really does...
>>9066710
how dare you
>>9066768
>enough fabric for a nice petticoat
Not everything released by brand is made for lolita.
>>9066770
That's true, but I can't figure out what it would look nice for. Questionably himegyaru, but it's still off.
>>9066768
Have you seen the print up close?
>>9066769
Oh, I dare.
In all honesty though, I think this hat is so ridiculous that I kind of love it. Same with a lot of the camo/punkuma camo stuff
Green != Blue
Excentrique
>>9066577
>fandom
Leave lolita.
>>9066821
I have this lol
It's awesome.
>>9067005
Please have this Random Fandom Meta
>>9066710
Thanks for the picture! It's better than the one I had.
>only AP dress I actually want is regularly posted in 'tacky dress' threads.
Aint even mad
>>9066616
You know, I love Meta, probably more than most folks. For every 99 ugly dresses Meta puts out, there's one set I am insane for. I'd take that over feeling the same 'oh that's nice' for 99 dresses, and 'oh lord no' for the last one.
Some folks take it too far, on both sides, but one thing everyone can agree on is you never know what is going to come out next with them.
That's really why I am so loyal. Even if Baby and AP are better, they're formulaic, and that's bores me.
>>9067012
I think you need to learn more about lolita before dumping all of Meta into a thread like this. This isn't "fandom lolita" but a collab item.
Either that, or your HW-chan, so.
>>9066850
Now this is true garbage. Baby why.
>>9067005
>implying metafags aren't as obnoxious as fantards in insisting their brand is the best, most innovative brand
Yeah no, I'm sticking by that. You (general you) deserve at least that.
>>9067049
This isn't all of Meta, if anything it's just a highlight of their more outlandish design choices. Also most of this thread isn't even Meta.
>>9067037
See, I'm the exact opposite. I'd rather have "oh that's nice" 99 times over "I love it!" once, because the former is more consistent and I don't have to sift through a bunch of releases I wouldn't like just to make sure I don't miss one thing I'd love. For me personally, formulaic designs are less of an issue because my brand faith lies with the classics, and they don't do nearly as much with prints.
>>9066850
what were they even thinking with this dress..
>>9067085
That's cool that you have such a different perspective, it's such a small fashion but we all seem to find our niche inside of it.
You do you anon.
How would a Tacky themed meet go over do you guys think? Would you attend?
>Take a dress or item most people think is tacky and make a coord out of it.
What kind of food would I serve, what games would we play? This is a serious consideration.
>>9066837
Hey now. Why don't we all just settle down.
I like the print, I'd like it better if that head was either not there or smaller. Cut is not at all flattering, however cool the concept was.
>>9067227
peek a boo jesus
>>9067233
I give you the 'cock, pussy, bitch, ass' dress.
>>9067237
Biscuit print, best photo I've seen of it.
>>9067246
>>9067247
This whole series looks disgusting. Yeah, the print's nice-ish up close, but only WAAY up close.
>>9067251
but you can't deny it has a pretty hardcore name though.
>>9066570
You're a pleb
>>9065556
There was one on LM not too long ago. I still can't believe that this is even in the same series as the jsk. Y u do dis, Baby?
Most of the image dumps reek of newfag
>>9066821
Texas lolita, yeehaaaw!
>>9066668
them quads
>>9067237
How dare you!
>>9066680
This hurt my heart. How could they do this to Les Mis?
>>9067341
Right? With a name like that I want to like it, but noo
Hideous.
>>9066602
would probably fit Larme
>>9066663
seconding
>>9067088
"i'm out of ideas. oh look at all these extra scraps of fabric and ribbon, im gonna roll around on the floor and sew what sticks into a dress. then we're gonna make misako wear it because she looks good in everything"
>>9066587
Ewwwww it's like a pink ribbon tied on some vomit
>>9067233
Best comment ever. Thank you for the laugh anon.
>>9067246
This reminds me to pic related. Am I the only one?
>>9066819
i have this OP in black and I love the cut and print so much. My soul is sad that it was posted in the ugly dress thread.
Unless you're referencing the brown one only. Because that is a pretty ugly colorway...
>>9066106
this is fucking horrendous i need 10
>>9067012
.... I actually love this. What's the print called?
>>9067868
Hakuoki pinafore dress, according to the filename.
>>9067936
Lol, I was just making a pun on the whole fandom meta idea. It's a cosplay piece by meta: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/hakuoki-collaborative-pleated-pinafore-jsk-black
>>9068083
>cosplay piece
It's a collaboration design, not cosplay. There's a difference.
The hell is going on with the Meta hate everywhere? I mean they've made some questionable designs but good god the hateboner going around.
>>9068085
>>9068089
And here we have proof that black does not, in fact, match everything.
>>9068087
It is to Hakuouki what disneybounding is to disney, and therefore, I consider it cosplay. "If so-and-so was lolita what would they wear" rarely makes for a particularly good lolita design.
Also that sentence was painful to write.
>>9068089
I am well aware my dream dress is hideous haha.
>>9068098
So do you say the same thing about AatP's Versailles Rose Embroidery series? I understand that perspective when it comes to 99% of anime/Disney/character collabs because they're generally tacky, but I honestly think the vkei collabs tend to be nice.
>>9068088
A Maleficent print had so much potential to be awesome but instead they churned out this fanplusfriend tier disaster. What is it with Disney collabs looking so cheap and ugly?
>>9068088
I was so excited for a Maleficent print... *sighs*
>>9067227
Aw c'mon anon don't hurt me this way. It ain't even real brand.
>>9067816
I like the black too, anon. I support your love.
>>9068098
No, it's not? You act like lolita brands have any idea of what "disneybounding" is and even then you're wrong. If you honestly didn't tell me it was Hakuouki related, I'd never guess this was a collab item since Meta puts out so much wa lolita. What collab items are really for is to get some crossover from their fans to buy brand. Collabs are not always meant to look like something the character would wear, because some are just prints with the character or series on them.
Most of the stuff in this thread is more than wearable. I know this is indie, but this is the shit I think of when someone says 'ugly'..I know we can do better than what's goin on here itt.
>>9068511
The more I scrolled the worse it got...
>>9068511
good idea poor execution
>>9066821
I love it because I get to wear burando while cutting down trees and clearing the land on my property.
It's a fabulous kind of feel.
>>9067088
It does look much nicer in person.
>>9068513
Till you saw the back, right?
>>9066850
>>9067233
peek a boob jesus
>>9067620
Do you even know anything about lolita or larme?
>>9065494
Very stereotypical. As 'tacky' as it is I prefer it as an example of what I remember as Lolita compared to some newschool J et J shit that just looks like an attempt at normie clothes with a broadly historical theme and a bit of lace, pseudo-historical costume or something from Ted Baker. I see some fabrics, cuts and all these prints then look at that OP and think how in the fuck are these supposed to be the same fashion.
>>9065025
Ngl, this dress is on my wishlist.
>>9066552
If AP made this it would be on everyone's gd dream dress list. I don't like the jsk, but anti metachan needs to simmer down.
>>9066662
Who made this floral abortion?
>>9066700
Neckdick so rori.
>>9067097
>Pls plan my meetup for me, anons!
>>9068802
Did you never see a non-print JetJ dress? They're not really lolita now but sounds like you don't know much about their history
>>9068789
Wow you post this example in every thread, you must be very mad anon.
I personally love JetJ for its versatility, because it can be either styled in a lolita way, a normie way or complety fucking OTT craziness like the pic you posted. Just because someone uses their dress for a completely contrary approach to the standard there is no need to label the entire brand as shit. I hate most of AP and sweet lolita, but even I can appreciate that some people just have a different approach on the fashion and like to try out some crazy OTT things. Otherwise it would quickly become boring seeing the same shit all over again.
>>9066710
Dream dress. I think ive only ever seen it pop up once.

>>9068741
Belldonna seems to be a bit hit and miss in general honestly. More miss than anything. It looks slightly better worn, I'll give them that.
>>9067251
No man, the burgundy is fucking gorgeous. You chose the only ugly colorway
>>9068841
You can take it that way if it tittilates you. I was just crapshooting an idea.
>>9069366
Literally none of that prepared me for the monstrosity that is the JSK though, HOLY SHIT.
>>9069370
Ok wow, we get it, move on.
>>9069372
At least they are trying to contribute.
>>9069370
For what it's worth, I owned the skirt and it was pretty cute and nice. It was also one of their first releases. They've gotten much better with bodice designs.
>>9066627
Does that apron...thing...come off? Because this could be cute as hell as just a regular sundress without it.
ITT: butthurt oldfags who don't understand that fashion evolves
Also, oldschool is ugly as hell. Fight me.
>>9069536
Ugly comes in all eras of lolita. Not just the old.

This is super cute!
>>9069565
omg I'd kill for this; that's so cute!
>>9069572
>>9069581
Still in stock on the site I believe anon, go get it!

Thank you so much! I had been wanting a Berry purse for a while and never saw this one go up.

Nah, just kidding. I've wholly accepted the fact that my dream dress is tacky as all heck.
>>9069595
>>9069598
A lot of these are off my own dd list, ahaha. Embrace it, as long as you like it opinions like mine don't matter!
And desu, the other colorways of that op are not bad at all.
>>9069600
Ok I can't power through anymore brands on lolibrary rn. Please bless me with more bad brand while I work gulls!
>>9069558
Ahh yes. Tripe dress we meet again
>>9069572
>tfw dream dress
>>9069606
Oh goodness, I remember when this came out. Rooby Gloom, what a random collab, and damn, that shit died out of even Hot Topic so fast.
>>9069629
You are so welcome. I am having a blast honestly.
>>9069630
Same. Same so hard.
>>9069638
I immediately thought Hot Topic goth when I saw this! How perfect.
Work is boring, I can't be stopped. Have some more nasty Baby.
>>9069761
This was the worst but all the colorways of this are a mess.
>>9069765

The cut only ever comes close to looking good on the mannequin, but I kind of dig the dress's Edwardian/1920's hybrid vibe.
>>9069786
>>9069787

It's still the worst imho though, I'm sorry to have pained you so.
