Sorry to start out the thread so negatively, but is anyone else losing interest in Mulberry Chronicles? It started out really promising, and I still want that mushroom dress, but the new preview pictures of the fox dress show the exact same cut AGAIN. Though that would be forgivable if the prints weren't growing increasingly "blah".
Even this new brooch looks really awkward and uninspired, like if a student was practicing drawing from life and decided to stick one of their sketches on a pin and sell it.
>>8869784
Sorry, dropped pic.
Belgium's most 'prestigious' convention just decided to commit suicide by not allowing people with bags to enter, ANY type of bag unless it's see-through.
Dashcon, take notes.
>>8938895
So people will still know you take medicines, by being the only one with a normal bag. Well, at least they can't read the label I guess.
well they didnt really have a choice OP, it was either that or cancel/postpone the event entirely
>>8938895
>they are committing suicide
>goverment requirement
Your making it sound like it was their descision to do this. If you actually read the post, it's something that the goverment is requiring. Turn on the news and maybe then you can figure out why.

These are from Kera 38, it's not very exciting compared to a bunch of the others, sadly.
ITT: COORDS WITH 100% POOF
THE WIDER THE SKIRT, THE CLOSER TO JAPAN
GET YOUR FLUFF ON
>>8917381
>>8917387
How do you gulls achieve these monstrous levels of poof? I have a JSK made out of pretty heavy fabric with a ridiculously full skirt and I can't make the skirt look not deflated even with all my petticoats on at the same time.
Couldn't find it in the catalog, so here's a new one.
So I'm thinking of selling these, I just don't know what they are worth!
1. Ista Mori Nameless Poem in L, never worn, still has tags but it's the first release. The collar & cuffs are not a true white but a ivory.
Is this OP still popular?
2. AP coat of arms tartan OP in red.
Worn by previous owner, has very slight pilling.
I'm guessing not worth retail since it's not popular? I was thinking around 150 euro's?
3. Infanta green military jsk & cape XL (runs small).
Still has tags, never got around to wearing...

Dos anyone know what the black Lief Sacred Night second release jsk and headbow goes for these days?
It's the S/M size.
>>8934172
I'd be interested in Infanta's military JSK, located in EU. I think I've seen it go once for around 90-100$, seems to be quite common for other taobao brands. Send mail if you'd be willing to sell it to another seagull.
I haven't been checking Nameless Poem after the rerelease(?), but I think the price dropped after that, but can't help beyond that.
Sakuracon thread autosaging? Let me fix that.
Who's there right now? Who's showing up tonight? What are the best and worst cosplay you've seen?
It's pretty fun, I'm dressed up as burgerpants and at the undertale shoot my hat kept falling off. Lmao gotta make a new one
You should probably link the new thread to the old thread famerino
I'm smoking some medical on the bench near the stairs will trade for booze and/or booze party
Dressed as rock Howard with a terry as mai
I am fighto my way into goods mile right now and going to band maid right after.
Let's try not to derail this one

Old one got nuked, here's a new one!
Anyone else here prefer a toned-down 80's Milklim look? The kind where no overdecoration, just dress like Punky Brewster?
I love simple, pastel 80's sweatshirts with quirky or simple jeans, any brands or shops that do this kind of stuff?
Dumping this look becaus it's adorb(Most of the shit comes from Milklims webpage tho..)
Cute short-sleeveed girly cutsews also welcome
The girly kind of shit is really cute if it's frilly enough.
Skirt is OK, sweater is best
Didn't see one in the catalog
I have an interest in mori but every other male I have seen doing mori looks retarded. Please supply menwith inspiration for male mori that does not look atrocious. If it helps at all I am of short stature, slender build and have a babyface.

WonderCon is like next week people! The poor person's SD Comic Con. Who's getting their stuff together and who's in panic mode?
This thread just reminded me of all the things I still need to finish.
Full blown panic mode!
Room. Check.
Badge. Check.
Guilt Free Spending Money. Check.
Days Off All Weekend with Zero Chance of getting called in? Cheeeeeeeeeck.
Cosplay? ...FUCK. I knew I forgot something. Maybe next year. That's what I said last year.
>>8906721
>WonderCon is like next week people!
2 weeks
Don't scare me like that
Ever been banned from a convention/meetup? Know anyone banned?
Share funny, or scary, ban stories!
I just found out that there's a handful of indie lolita designers that are banned from selling at Anime Matsuri.
>>8901982
why??
>>8901989
'cause the owners of AM are assholes.
here's the full read. >http://animematsuriexpose.tumblr.com/post/122545222799/indie-lolita-designer-annika-from-pop-princess
Yo isn't this coming up super soon? As in two weeks?
Who is going?
I am, although none of the programming really caught my eye. I'll probably just do a bunch of shopping and hang out with friends.
I am reluctantly because friends I haven't seen in almost two years will be there and this will probably be the only chance I get to see them all year.. Expecting tons of Undertale trash cosplay to dominate the con.
im tempted to go just so i can meet the guys from the initial d dub, but the rest of the con looks super weeby and im afraid that itll just be a sea of fourteen year old girls
As requested, here's the larme kei equivalent of the closet of frills threads. Despite what the title implies, since the larme kei community is scattered across multiple platforms any and all sources are accepted.
Let's try and keep this mostly constructive, but I do realize some outfits are completely nonredeemable.
Some places to get your started:
facebook -> groups/Larmekei (Don't Cry Baby group)

I like this look a lot. It's very clean. I do agree with the comment on facebook that she would look nice with her natural colored hair. I do think blonde can work for Larme, but she really has the bleached look going on which is a bit too unnatural.
If anyone is looking for short hair inspo then lukaruna on tumblr has some really nice coords.
I'm jelly of how the wego x larme romper looks on her. It would look terrible on me.
