first for classic lolita
second for gothic lolita
>>9853227S U P E R S T A R
>>9853227Is that supposed to be a lolita dress? Looks like a tunic from a store catering to women aged 40-80
>>9853227Pregnant Lolita
>>9853241nothing wrong with looking pregnant if it gives you a body like that
>>9853245But you can't even see half her body because of the pregnant sack
>>9853248I can see her thin legs and arms
>>9853248Showing off your body is not the point of lolita
Is this the general or an ita thread masquerading as it?
>>9853330>>9853235It's a NYLON editorial. Isn't it nice to see Usakumya in a printed magazine?
>>9853336Not if that magazine is NYLON
>>9853336No. Usakumya deserves to be owned by a real lolita who will love her, not some nymphet ddlg-looking kid who holds her by her ear.
>>9853336Why do you have to hurt me like this
>>9853343don't be gross, there's really no need to bring up sexual fetishes
>>9853347>Don't be grossOh come on. They've dressed the model just like the "nymphet fashion" Tumblr demographic.
>>9853349it doesn't look more or less fetishy than lolita does. ddlg is in the eye of the beholder.
>>9853349>They've dressed the model just like the "nymphet fashion" Tumblr demographicIt's a Japanese magazine and this is one of the other pics, there was also a pic where she wears something that looks like wrist-cuffs, all in a sci-fi setting.
>>9853353Nymphet fashion is a more specific aesthetic though. Which the photo has. And it is often worn by ddlg fans.
>>9853356That's kinda cool but it still looks like something an ~*aesthetic*~ Tumblr teenager would Meitu together. But ok.
>>9853359It isn't meant to be proper lolita fashion so whatever, I was just happy to see Usakumya in an unfamiliar place because I also love normie fashion and sci-fi.
>>9853362>Isn't meant to be proper lolita fashion So you started the new general with it? Really? Now we're going to have to look at this shit in the catalog all the time until this thread dies. I get posting the pics in a thread since they are kinda relevant, but many lolitas won't give a shit. It was a bad OP choice.
>>9853368Chill. I have to look at AP for months, which is kinda relevent I guess but not if you hate AP.
>>9853227>mfw seeing this as OP pic for the general thread>>9853349>>9853357I'm not defending this hideous fucking outfit, but I fail to see how it could be considered 'nymphet' fashion? She's wearing a frumpy Chinese mumu with bargain bin socks and an old pair of track shoes. Her makeup and the stuffed animal may be a part of 'nymphet' style, but you can find both of those things throughout lolita. I suppose If you're just taking into account the knee (strangling) socks and high school running shoes, you could get an 'other lolita' vibe from this but I think it's a huge reach to say it looks like 'ddlg'.Anyways, If this was worn by anyone besides a Japanese model it would make an immediate appearance in the ita thread. Also count me in as being triggered as fuck by seeing Kumya being held like that.
>>9853383I think it's fine to start the general with a lolita item found in an unexpected place, and (though I feel bad for the amount of replies it caused) it's funny how easily triggered you are
>>9853227I...kinda love this.
>>9853323are you retarded that comment was replying to >>9853245
How much have anons spent on lolita? I think maybe 12k overall
>>9853388people are triggered tho, me included desu
>>9853227What the hell is going on in this OP pic? I had to check twice to make sure it was the lolita gen. Whatever this fashion disaster is, it shouldnt be the opening pic for the thread
>>9853356Her hair is even more fried than my morning eggs this whole thread is tragic already and it barely begun
>>9853227This is some Petra Collins-level bullshit here
Which versions of Milky Berry have shirring?
Oldfag here, does anyone still care about derpy-chan or is he a dead meme?
>>9853540I was looking for his themed sugary carnival fabric on spoonflower a few months ago, but couldn't find it.
>>9853394About 8k, but that's just on main pieces and not including shipping/fees... I definitely need to chill out with spending this year.
>>9853567Just search lolita or under gabi-himeThere are all still there>https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/525455-lovely-horse-derpy-chan-derpy-carnival-by-gabi-hime
>>9853394$7.7K on everything and I've been wearing/collecting for 3+ years.>>9853362Why....
>>9853394~2k over the course of 3 years; man I’m such a poorfag in comparison to everyone else that answered.
I'm really not looking forward to seeing her at the tea party
>>9853613
>>9853618
>>9853613>>9853618>>9853619this girl can't be this unaware. I'm so embarrassed.
>>9853619>>9853618>>9853613nothing will ever be as bad as bondage-chan last year
>>9853613>>9853618>>9853619Don't these tea parties have dress codes? Won't this bitch be kicked out?
>>9853619>>9853618If your going to go through the trouble of joining a comm and not have anything to coord why bother joining a comm at all. I was so nervous about joining even the fb Lolita pages because I was so clueless and now that I've actually been wearing the fashion I feel like everyone on those pages is mostly clueless Lolita at heart weebs
>>9853631AP's only a guest, you get in as long as you wear lolita or one of the closer sister fashions
>>9853632I'm in that comm and there are maybe 30 people who are actually active out of the 600+ in the group. People usually only come out of the woodwork around con season and MAYBE ILD
>>9853631*flashbacks to bdsm girl at last years tea*
>>9853641Which comm is this?
>>9853652>>9853624Who was bdsm/bondage chan? I'd love pics
>>9853613What tea party is this? Sorry I'm dumb
I’m tired of being a disgusting ass who never wears anything nice. Do you anons have any recommendations for places that will teach me to dress/style myself? I feel like I need to learn to look good in regular clothes before I can look good in lolita.
>>9853394At least 50k, probably more
>>9853816Might sound weird but go to your local library, the ones in my country all have at least one book for women's fashion and for men's. They usually have chapters on different degrees of formal wear, how a proper bra should fit, what type of hoes goes with what type of clothes etc
>>9853819damn how do you do that? how many main pieces do you have/do you buy everything retail/how long have you been in the game?
>>9853816Watch youtube tutorials on colour analysis, make-up and hair. Do the make-up and hair tutorials of jfashion magazines. Keep it simple by wearing normie skirts/dresses in pink if you plan to wear sweet lolita, in black if you plan to wear wear gothic lolita, or in brown if you plan to wear classic lolita. Especially with sweet lolita, it's already unusual for adults to wear pastels so this way your surroundings can slowly get used to your more feminine style. Wear neutral tights and shoes.
>>9853632Same. I stressed really hard about seeming like a clueless weeb, but now that I've been in the fashion and then joined the pages are full of stupid bullshit like this.Even in my most newbie state, I would not have embarrassed myself like this. I feel like I kept myself from living my best lolita life for no reason.
>>9853832Anon could just own 25 Iron Gates, 15 Puppet Circus and 10 Cat's Tea Party.
>>9853862Well that explains where they all went
>>9853227This actually looks more similar to old-school lolita than what lolita has become, minus the shoes
>>9853875>I've never seen old school lolita in my life and have no idea what it looks like
>>9853821Hoes go with Instagram baddie brand's overpriced clothes
>>9853878>fried hair>pregnant>UTKs>stuffed animal>frumpy>twintails>subtle floral print
>>9853900stop trolling
>>9853896ain’t need no stinking library to dress my hoes
>>9853821>what type of hoes goes with what type of clothesBest typo ever.
>>9853687>>9853790It's for Anime North. You literally could have googled some keywords and gotten your answer.
>>9853765
>>9854037Why did they let her in!!
>>9854037That's a hilarious shot
can anybody recommend taobao shops that have good blouses?
>>9853227hey what the fuck am i looking at
>>9854037love the concerned face, the whole picture is perfect
>>9854094Meo w girl
>>9854037What the fuck
>>9854037Why did they even let her in in the first place
>>9853618Aren't real yukata pretty expensive anyways? Bitch is a fucking idiot.
>>9854041>>9854193She started causing a stink and claiming she was another guest's support person. IIRC she also demanded a special diet meal without any notice.
>>9854197No, you can get extremely cheap ones secondhand
>>9853821That’s great anon! I’ve always wanted to know which hoes look best with my outfits!
>>9854037V looks both concerned and slightly allured
>>9853862The dream
Question: is VM closing in all capacities or is it just physical locations and they will still be online?I'm confused as to why they crowdfunded with all those beautiful new items
>>9854312Complete closure some time this year.Crowd funding was just for those items, not like to keep them open or anything.
>>9854037It's probably supposed to look like stuff from Alice Auaa, which is fetish goth. Definitely not lolita though, so she's still retarded retarded.
>>9854336Of course not. Someone who thinks Its okay to wearing that to a lolitas event, wouldnt know what alice auaa is.
>>9854341Wiki does oddly list it as "gothic lolita." Either way she was still retarded to show up like that.
>>9854037Can someone give me the story behind this? What event/comm is this?
>>9854341Alice auaa does NOT look like that.
>>9854364you need to learn how to use search engines http://www.hayleystewart.ca/an-tea-party-2017/
>>9854364Anime North Tea Party, with the Southern Ontario comm. Arguably the biggest lolita event in Eastern Canada.
>>9853832Getting around 200 main pieces, not to mention bags/coats/shoes/accessories. At least half retail I’m guessing.
>>9853460What is lolibraby
>>9854312>>9854321I thought some of the funds were going to be for whatever remaining releases were planned for this year too? But yeah on the whole it was a last hurrah for everyone who had been begging them for a coffin for the last 10 or something years.
AP USA just announced the guests for the 8th anniversary tea party. Who's planning on going? How do you feel about the guests?
>>9853227I-is ita the new lolita? Are we living in the past, gulls?
How long do "sourcing from Japanese warehouse" AP USA orders take?I assumed items up on the AP USA site were actually in their brick and mortar store. I wish they would indicate somewhere if they're not.
>>9853604I'm close to this, probably more like 2500. I buy mostly secondhand these days and budget through the year. I have a mortgage, new sports car, student loans and trying to aggressively save more so I can consider retiring in 25 years. I'm ok with not having a crazy large wardrobe if it means I'll have a few million in my 50s
>>9854530Which release are you buying? I got the same "sourcing from Japan" update when I bought Sweet Lacy Basket a month ago, but they had it in stock and sent it out within a couple days.
>>9854094I own blouses that I like from Surface Spell, Amber Rose, Dear Celine, Infanta, Krad Lanrete
>>9853613>>9853618>>9853619Are those bitches for real?For the love of everything good hit them with a pink shovel if they get even close to the guests>>9853878Do you...know what old school is?As someone who wears quite a bit this "coord" is just garbage and not even lolita
>>9854037The face of the other girl makes it perfectThis is so distasteful though. I could dig it if it was at a proper event or place but not a damn lolita tea party
>>9854499I like that they took away the required buying thing, because sometimes I just couldn't find something in stock that I wanted. I'd rather just pay more and get the one thing I actually desire then to hunt around for things to qualify to purchase the ticket.>Btw, this is the lobby of the Palace Hotel
>>9853394at least 10k in the past four years even though most of my wardrobe is second-hand. spent maybe $600 in the entire first year but I started spending ~$250 a month once I got a proper source of income. really depressing when it's added up, especially now it's harder to sell.
AP USA is doing the sweetie violet MTO starting tomorrow.
>>9854037Is that voldie?
>>9854613ya
Is this real?
>>9853394Probably about 12-15k since September 2016.
>>9854620yes it is
>>9854620where was this posted?and does anybody know any Chinese SS?
>>9854625I saw it on Chinese Lolita updates
>>9854037putting the "LOL, ita!" into lolita.
>>9854620wow, other than the one in the middle, those cuts are hideous
Does anyone know what happened with the Miss Danger shop owners for the ownership to be split? Has anyone bought a hat from them, I'd love a quality review
>>9854652are you new?
>>9854620Im dyyiiingggg
>>9853540Derpy-chan is eternal
>>9854628Thanks!
>>9854530If you read the release page, it says if there was a delay. But if it was a bloodbath, I can understand why you didn't. They don't get separate shipments for every release, it's sent in bulk.
>>9854037Sweet yeezus, dunno if there are any bris girls here but I'm totally expecting someone at the Boudior meet-up to show up like this
>>9854565>Do you...know what old school is???? Did you not read >>9853878 before you responded?
>>9854268Definitely not allured lmao, she was getting angry at me for not having a vegan meal set aside for her (which she never requested in advanced as is required)
>>98533946k I think... Maybe 7ish now that I just bought three new releases
>>9854527Yes, embrace it
>>9853227>"new school" lolita is being a nymphet ita with tennies
>>9854620Did AP ever do a teal/green release of HL? I'm waiting.
>>9854777i was thinking they would make an orange colorway. announce a MTO in october close to Halloween and ship it out in april
>>9854777There is a replica of it in that color.
>>9854791Found the photo.
I made CGL badges for giggles. Also money. I really like how the yotsubas turned out.
>>9854823where2cop
>>9854620It's already been released in this colour before, this isn't a new colour. Kind of disappointed.Still waiting for teal and orange colourways.
>>9854823I love this and the rest of your work. Will buy asap.
>>9854837Right now they're free with with orders of 2 or more items, but will have them up individually in a couple days. http://dreamcathedral.etsy.com/
>>9854719Look on the site, it says at least 2 weeks for releases they get from Japan.
>>9854792An AP replica with replica MmM lace.........
>>9853987Yeah googling keywords like "an lolita teaparty" "teaparty where there's gonna be someone with a vintage kimono" "angelic pretty tea party" etc. brings up so much info about this particular event.
>>9854912Man, if I wasn't so repulsed by replicas, I would love to get my hands on bootleg MmM lace.
>>9854823If I put in a custom order can I still get one of these babies for free?
>>9854984Yeah, for sure. Shoot me a message on Etsy or Insta and let's talk about what you want.
>>9854037God everything about this cracks me up. This is the most /cgl/ thing I've seen in a while.
>>9854401oop
>>9855053H..how did she fit in that?
>>9854499Does Maki age in reverse?
>>9855075Those look photoshooped, I’m sure she isn’t as smooth irl
>>9854912I have never wanted a replica so badly. Fortunately I'm not complete trash and would never buy it.
>>9854754Either a lot of people don't read the thread before they reply, or a troll keeps bringing that image up as soon as we change the subject
>>9854312The 10 year ani was seperate from them closing, and they were to make the good provided, not to keep them open. I think they planned that for a year or so and kept it, which is why they made 2018 their last year. The decision to close may not be money related.
>>9855087They couldnt find anyone to take over because it wasnt profitable, at least thats what japanese lolis were saying on twitter
>>9853613>>>9853619>>9853618I'm in the same boat as this person; I barely own any brand and I enjoy handmaking my own coords, and I'm plus sized, so what I make tends to look better on me than actual brand pieces. However, if the mod for the party wants to see the coord ahead of the party, I would just send it, not give her the runaround and excuses. If your homemade stuff looks good, you have nothing to worry about. I saw an Aussie tea party on YouTube once where one of Misako-chan's fav coords was a homemade. So it's fine to be homemade, as long as it holds up to everyone else's coords.
>>9855097Homemade is only ok if you have skill. Most ppl like her don’t.
>>9855097Yeah, but if a brand is hosting the party, anon, it is expected that you wear that brand to the party.
>>9855100iirc AP was only a guest, not the one hosting the party. Still, it'll probably be a dumpster fire. Someone better post pics if it happens.
>>9855053When you don't have a matching set but want to stay relevant.
>>9855122>when you don't fit the set but still need everyone to know you're an edgelord
How are your holy lanterns holding up? Flocky print and chiffon make me nervous, I don't like dry cleaning (handwash only) and tend to spill things/ run into thingsBut I see that they are still holding the value really well, is the fabric just that durable or no one is selling the damaged ones
>>9855171I have only seen a few damaged, but it was likely from friction. Flocking in my experience rubs off vs washes off.I have 2 and they seem pretty good. I do hand wash it but I have thrown one in the wash before and it was fine.
>>9854857I'm totally buying 1! or 2! Can't wait
>mfw a lolita brand I hate follows me but I still feel flattered so I don't block hermaybe she just follows every lolita she can find to increase her own followers though
>>9855212What brand anon?
>>9855212Atelier Dulcinea?
>>9855244>>9855243haenuli
Is it time to drop some hints to Kato-san to bring back kimono print (pinafore) JSKs and skirts?
>>9855347At that time they used real yukata fabric. I don't think she can afford that now for some reason.
>>9855347
>replica Belle Epoque Rose on first page on y!a
>>9855347Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yesPlease
aww crap, Haenuli responds to a drying cesspoolhttps://behind-the-bows.livejournal.com/175943.html?thread=42850631#t42850631
>>9855406That's actually a pretty good explanation though?
>>9855171Three girls in my comm own Holy Lantern in multiple cuts/colours and they’ve all admitted that they’ve never attempted to wash theirs.
>>9855422Oh jesus gross
>>9855171I’ve washed mine multiple times with no issues. I hand wash with Woolite in a large basin. Don’t put your dress under direct running water and don’t rub fabric together. I then let it air dryThe OP is easier to wash due to less fabric
>>9855347>>9855355There's no harm in bringing up the interest to her attention; as long as the people supporting this actually put their money where their mouth is, of course.
>>9855075>>9855076In person they both look their age.
>>9855360>>9855373
What are the current lolita trends? A friend and I have been trying to list them and we're struggling a bit. What we've got so far is:>Gothic, especially Moitie and Antique Beast >Brooches and pins>Those fucking bear ear hats and things with bunny ears>Plain dresses with Aprons >2008-2015 AP Releases coorded in modern OTT ways>Ophelia-style old school, though it's already fading a bit>Flat hats, a bit larger than traditional mini hats, with flowers and tilted to the side
>>9855244that could be good if her fabric choice and her designs weren't so off. I want to like her stuff.
>>9855605>bear ear hats? example?I wish flat hats weren't in. 95% of them look like trash.
>>9855610These fucking things, anon. They've been all over my Insta feed for a while now.
How many days after winning a lacemarket auction do you give the seller before leaving bad feedback? I won Saturday and she asked for my address to calculate shipping. I told her and it's been left unread since Saturday. No sign of an invoice via PayPal either.
>>9855677Two weeks since last contact.
>>9855605>>9855615I was going to call you stupid but after looking in the CoF Thread... Yeah there's a lot of ears going on. The bunny ones may just be because of Easter though?>Also, huge bonnets are replaced by taobao flathats in classic lolita popularity>Just as I buy my first 3F bonnet>FUUUUUUUUUUU>I will never be trendy
>>9855615Damn, I thought I was super original by buying some pink ones. Just pluck out my heart already.
>>9855688This trend is still in early days. I may hate bear hats with a passion, but you're still good to wear yours and be cool! I genuinely hope you enjoy them, anon.
>>9855683You on the other hand are fucked. Sorry. >At least flathats are cheap if you want to hop on the trend.
>>9855610I think flat hats are beautiful... Like big OTT canotiers
>>9855691Thank you, that's very sweet of you! I hope maybe I can make a coord that makes you not hate them so much (probably not, but a gull can dream)
>>9855728That one looks alright. I just don't like how much they obscure the face (and I have a bitter hatred for min-hats, and they're too close for comfort).
>>9855728They’re really difficult to wear
>>9855355Yeah I miss that. Romantic kimono is gross shiny polyester, my older kimono prints are nice cotton
>>9855422This explains a lot, actually. Maybe I will try to get a new one and just handwash it since other anons are washing theirs
>>9854660Also want to know what their stuff is like compared to triple fortune or voodoodolly
>>9854660>>9855903I actually have an order from the Hide Vi from MissDangerShop (she's the one that made all the hats) that should be here within the next few weeks. When it comes in I can compare it to a Voodooodolly hat I have if you guys are interested.
>>9855791Just get it dry cleaned anon... Come on. It's what I do because the dress is really delicate and I don't want to mess up the flocking.
>>9855948the print is kinda ugly but the cuts are cute
>>9855948wow this is fuggo. the ivory color looks nice and the socks but yuck.
>>9855966That would be much appreciated anon, thanks a lot
>>9854037marry me Voldie
>>9855948YESSS NORMAL WAIST RELEASE!
>>9855981I want to like this print so hard but the juxtaposition of diamond shapes falling into rounder shapes is a real deal breaker. And why is the headdress a giant baby cone? It's so ugly the model isn't even modeling it.
>>9855948>oh hey the jsk cut is super cute!>sees it on Risa's human body>neverfuckingmindway to go and ruin another cute print with ugly ass cuts, AP. also, why are they no longer releasing any salopettes???
>>9855948I thought I would like this print when Misako Aoki posted a pic wearing it, but ew no.
>>9855948>normal waistfuck yeah>looks like Bodylinefuck no
>>9856141Risa is hardly human though
>>9855976You shouldn’t dry clean flocking
>>9855948Legit looks like cheap taobao.AP is getting more and more shit no wonder they rerelease so many stuff lately.Also the Holy Lantern is a meme at this point
>>9854754Ay my bad fampai english isn't my native language and it was late
Which lolita discords are there? I'm only in 1 but it's pretty dead. Does anyone have working links?
I wish brands (Moitie) would stop with silver and gold prints. It just screams formal/fancy to me and I can't bring myself to wear it on a normal day.
>>9856359There's a vetting Discord. You can join that. There's also a /fa/x/cgl/ Discord that has some lolitas, but they're trolls/internet tough gals.
>>9856434I can't join anything without invite though lol
>>9856141That's exactly what I thought anon. The collar looks really odd worn.
Is victorianme sponsored by Juliette et Justine? She receives her dresses way before everyone else and I wonder how she's doing it. The dress she's wearing here is supposed to be released in September 2018 and I hate having to wait half a year when ordering something from JetJ.
>>9856454Maybe she's a member, she can order it before it goes up online
>>9855683psssh trendy plendy. TF bonnets are so gorgeous they're worth it. Private Square and Kaleidowaltz also make freaking incredible bonnets
>>9855948the colors look so dull
>>9856434>There's also a /fa/x/cgl/ Discord that has some lolitas, but they're trolls/internet tough gals.It sounds like they could be fun. Are they actually lolitas and do they talk about lolita at all?>>9856437Seconding. Links please?
>>9854660Here's the 'official' posts on it for reference. My understanding was there was some issue with a third party who was tangentially involved, but it's all hearsay. It looks like it was a fairly amicable split though.
Dollbe is doing a contest on instagram. I Don't know much about the quality of her pieces, but I spoke with her in person once and she seems really committed to the idea of making sure the fit of all her made-to-order pieces is accurate to the customer. Figured I'd mention this in case anyone here would like the chance to try her stuff out for free (if you're the winner of the contest). I know I have some fit issues, so the idea of something that's both free and custom fit sounds tempting, even if the quality isn't the best.
>>9856584Her artwork is always so awful and weirdly skewed though, and the clothing design is questionable (though it seems sturdy enough).I wouldn't want to wear anything by her, free or not, until she learns how to make a proper print (or quits doing prints and does solids)Several indie designers and taobao offer custom sizing so if that's the only reason you're interested, just save your money and get something from someone that isn't going to look bad.
>>9856550>Are they actually lolitas and do they talk about lolita at all?Yes, they have their own chatroom to talk about lolita.
>>9856599Too bad most of the guys in the chat are autistic faggots
The new Baby print makes my heart melt, I don't know why I love it so much, it's something that I would never usually go for
>>9856584For someone who wants to make dresses for bigger girls and for someone who wants to make sure the type fits the customer well, she sure has chosen a type of dress that doesn’t suit most plus-size girls well. As soon as you have breasts, like most plus-size girls do, high-waist dresses look aweful on you in my opinion. Same goes for tall and chubby, I think the fit of the girl in the drawing is already an example of that. The shape looks so off.
>>9856612Girls as fat as Dollbe have no waist though, it's their only choice in cut
>>9856612I think >>9856613 is onto something. The problem I think is plus-size waists can come in a lot of different shapes, like literally different shapes. Two girls could both be overweight in the same amount, but one might be carrying it all on her stomach and the other has it all in her hips and chest area. I knew a 300lb woman who had a 36" waist, so any jacket that could fit her arms and boobs was too big for her waist.

>>9856604You should buy it if you like it, anon, its cut looks very flattering.
>>9856604I love Baby so much. I love the strawberry buttons and strawberry lace. They even made a skirt (unlike some other sweet brands...) The apron and big headbow are also really cute.
>>9855075>>9855076Maki still looks fairly young in person. Asuka however, is showing signs of late 40s age.
>>9856001I also ordered a bonnet from her so I can compare that with my 3F bonnet if you also want.
>>9856604This would be perfect if the background wasn’t so busy :(
>>9856773I actually like that and that's why I want it in black. Pink and red are least busy imo.
SFE was confirmed to be in Germany. No dates or city yet.
>>9855605Gold and metallic shoes with everything.
>>9856817And nobody was surprised, not with that event name. (despite the saltiness about their much too dramatic way of announcing stuff, I am really excited for another sfe event)
>>9856902>too dramatic way of announcing stuffhuh?
>>9856604Aaah this would be so nice for a cute Valentine's Day coord
>>9856817Where was this announcement
>>9856817Wait, where was it announced? >I somehow thought the event in Spain was associated with them, but I guess I was wrong.
>>9856831I love this trend so much. Gold shoes are such a great way to add an opulent feel to a simple outfit.
>>9856604I saw this today and loved it.
>>9856641Thank you! I'll join tonight
>>9856802>>9856964Definitely going to get this but can't decide colorway. Either pink, ivory, or black. I know the ivory will look good but I already had a similar dresses. Black and pink I don't have anything like, but I am not sure if black will look good on me (olive skin, brown hair). Pink probably would suit my colors I just usually go for red lol
>>9856454Oh this is tempting.
>>9856962Not if there's no gold anywhere else.It's rarely done well and drives me nuts personally.
>>9857066let me guess, you think using an accent color that isn't on the main piece is shoehorning too?
>>9857071No, I'm not an idiot. It's about balance. Why wear gold shoes, without any other gold accents, but an all red coord?Balance is sexy and makes a successgul coord
>>9857093go away fatty
>>9857087ohh, thought you meant if there wasn't gold in the print
>>9857112I specifically wrote anywhere else.
>>9856697Asuka is late 30s, but she smokes and Maki doesn’t
>>9856563Were they a couple? I thought they were and split up, hence the brand was divided. Did not know about differences in direction. Their doll face brooches were amazing
>>9854837>>9854854>>9854984These are up now!https://www.etsy.com/listing/608669963/cgl-crest
>>9857224Fuck yeah, just bought two! Though I'm very tipsy and may have picked the wrong colourway, oops
>>9857225No worries. Did you mean to buy one of each? I can send you the right ones. You grabbed 2 of the dark blue bois.
>>9857227Nah, I want them both the same. One for me and one for my lolita bestie! I was mainly thinking we could get the pastel ones to match Koitsukihime, but maybe I should just contact you about some custom work for that... I love the dark ones and they'd match the rest of my wardrobe better.
>>9857224These are phenomenal anon! I'm probably going to get one of each color, they're gorgeous and so well designed.Looked around on your Etsy but couldn't tell, are these made of wood? Paper on something and sealed? Plastic? I'm really dumb, don't own many pins, and can't tell.
>>9857132wait what, Asuka smokes? source?
>>9857232Yeah, if you want it altered for a specific colourway, I could accommodate when I do my next batch.>>9857234I would love to work with wood, but sadly I don't have a great workspace for that. And I imagine sawdust would end up everywhere. At least with glitter I don't have to worry about splinters! I both love and hate the sparkly cancer. But to answer your questions, just about everything in my shop is made via resin.
>>9857224Ugh yes.
>>9857224Oooh I gotta ask, the pastel ones - are they that reddish antique looking color IRL or is it the lighting and they're more pastel than that? Would match my classic browns and bordeauxs pretty well if it's as it looks in the image and video
wunderwlet's lacemarket account has nothing listed. did....did they died?
>>9857262I would describe it as a desaturated bordeaux. It sort of fits with both chocolate, and wine.
>>9854823>The seagull is carrying saltMy sides
>>9854857are you still doing this promo? i was late to the thread oops. def buying 1 either way!
>>9857264they just haven't relisted their stuff, their newest listings literally expired today
>>9857311Sorry, my dude. Temp promo sort of ended when I put the listing up a couple days later. I could toss in a defect with your order, tho. They're still pretty okay looking, but the CGL font on the pastel was a weird colour, there are no scrolls at the bottom, and the pin is bigger than expected. (6x6 instead of 5x5cm)Also, wew. I've already sold more of these than expected to. I have to make more tonight.
Anyone else notice the new IW White items on reservation? I feel like I'm late to the party. Looks like the skirt a few girls were wearing on CoF is up, a JSK, and a blouse.The skirt looks like such a cheap version of the Flare Skirt with Braids, but I guess it's cute enough for casual wear, but I'm rather unimpressed for the price. The JSK looks pretty decent, lining at the hem is a bit simple and cheap, though it looks like they're trying to pull off a Vilma OP look with the model. Blouse looks really nice and simple in a good way, RIP that I didn't notice it sooner as it's almost all sold out. They did restocks for some IW White items that sold out in preorder last time, maybe again for this blouse...(Saying all this as someone who has bought a wide variety of IW for years, and I bought the initial bustier + skirt from White and liked them.)
>>9857359I really liked the blouse but high collars make my face look fat so I had to skip this one. I hope they do a peter pan one soon!
>>9856563That's a pretty unprofessional post by Hide.
>>9857359I am so mixed on this. On one hand, I like the pricing and simple design, but on the other hand, would it kill them to put one line of lace at the ends of the jabot for the blouse? Lolita for me is all about the small details. One of my favorite dresses is a simple cutsew dress with beautiful lace at the turtleneck. It's small things like these that make my day. IW white is almost there, but the cheap trimmings and lack of beautiful detail is really killing me.
>>9857359I saw these, none of them appeal to my taste but I'm glad to see IWW releasing more than one design at once, especially since they sell out. I'm looking forward to see what they're going to release next.
>>9856817Please be in Berlin. The Hamburg event a couple of years ago was a mess.>>9857359I hate how IW (and other brands like VM also) only doing OP's and Underbust JSKs these days. They are still using simple JSK cuts for prints. I just want some solid or floral pattern JSKs which satisfy my casual granny taste though.
>>9853540You know the fact that Derpy-chan still gets talked about makes me realise that /cgl/ has far more long-time members than most other boards. It's kinda nice.
>>9856817I'm excited about the new event, always wanted to go to a lolita event in Germany. I'm surprised they didn't choose for Germany earlier. Still I 'm not sure about it anymore, since they announced their new event page at the same day as the moitie event ticket sale and sfe events get smaller every year. I wanted to try becoming part of the team, but some lolitas told me it wouldn't be a nice experience. Can anyone tell me more about it or are those just rumors?
>>9857520>sfe events get smaller every year.Ib thought omnia vanitas was better than under the sea
>>9857520Where are SFE events announced? Do they have a group or something?
New Meta releases! 26800 yen for the main OPs, they'll be released for reservation on the 20th.
>>9857530This is the Retro Dot OP. It comes in three colourways.
>>9857532Ribbon Collar Floral OP. Same price, only one colourway. Apparently its gobelin inspired?
>>9857534Here's the Circular Polka Dot JSK. It also costs 26800.
>>9857535And the other colourway. Matching bow clips are also available.I think this series would make great everyday wear for daily lolitas. It looks comfy, like you can just pull it on and be cute. As usual I love Meta's darker and more saturated colour choices than other sweet brands. But... It's also a little boring, don't you think?
>>9857536I don't think it's boring, simple designs really are easier to wear daily and can be dressed up to look fancier; but personally I would've liked this more if there was a solid version, I'm not a huge fan of polkadots.
>>9857534I really want to like this because I'm such a gobelin addict but this just seems sort of awkward somehow? It looks like it might not look very good worn.
>>9857534Love the print, hate the cut.
>>9857545>>9857544There isn't a worn pic for the blue one, but the cut looks cuter worn imo.
>>9857512Same. I want more solid classic pieces for casual wear but underbust cuts are harder to wear casually than skirts or regular JSKs.>have to go into work one day when I wasn’t planning to>coworkers ask if I just came from a beer festival because they think I’m wearing a dirndl>>9857529They’re on FB
>>9857564At least dirndl are really pretty. I'd take "Hey were you at a beer fest? Is that a dirndl?" over "Little Bo Peep" any day.
Wonder Patisserie is coming this weekend. I don't understand the vinyl bow but that tea purse is so fucking adorable it might actually tempt me to throw money at AP's direction.
Physical Drop updated their webshop. Pic related is out of stock already, though.
>>9857666FFFFFFFFF this is my style. brb, need to investigate sizing.
>>9857558The rockabilly inside me is screaming for this.
>>9857666Jesus, that's adorable. Why the tulle lace around the neckline? That's an odd choice.
>>9857558Wow, that dress really doesn't suit Natsumi-San at all.
So, I've been slowly becoming more and more haunted by pic related. I don't know if I'd even wear it...but something is growing inside me for it.mint is the best and offwhite is pretty good too.I wish the skirt was more cupcake than balloon but I'm so tempted to place it on my wishlist.
>>9857536I like simple designs, but the fact that there's no lace at all on the OP really turns me off (also the buckle is hideous). Without lace, this just looks like some normie vintage dress. Such a pity, this could've been cute.
>>9857723I had that whatever it is, and could not make it look good for the life of me. I have the high waisted jsk and have the same issue. The fabric is very silky and wrinkle prone, I just have no idea what blouse to pair with it to make it look good.
>>9857729>no lace at all? There's lace along the hem.
>>9857743Anon said on the OP, do you read?Also I agree, this dress is kinda normie and rockabilly, not into it.
