does moon kana still sell these?

>>10938933
yes, though there currently isnt any available. she announced a couple months ago that she plans to launch online sales soon.

Are their any new or active gyaru brands online? everything else has either shut down or shifted to jirai kei and himekaji stuff.

where do you recommend buying decent quality affordable wigs for lolita and other jfashion coords? I like maple wigs in terms of thickness, styles, colors, and price but they all have that fake shiny look and the one dreamholic wig I own is very thin and sheds a ton.

both Maple and DH have their issues. If you're looking for more natural looking wig with bangs I suggest going to a store that sells wigs. The shops geared towards the black community usually have comfortable and affordable options, the price quality ratio is better than Maple and DH. Some brands have unusual colors like emerald green or cotton candy pink, but they're not the norm. Whilst you can find synthetic wigs that have far less of that fake shiny look compared to Maple and DH, as long as it's synthetic you will always be able to tell no matter how many tips and tricks you try. Depends on how okay you are with it not looking real.
You can get a basic human hair wig for 100~150$ which usually comes in a natural black/dark brown, but you can bleach, dye, cut and pluck it yourself. You can get hh wigs that have already been cut, dyed and styled in a certain look for under 300$ in including some unnatural colors.
Beware of scams, these are not uncommon with wig sellers.

Does maple not sell their ringlet wig anymore? If so I need a good ringlet wig recommendation. I love how they look so much.

They just rereleased them.

>>10939095
this is terrible advice. no one here is getting human hair lacefront baddie wigs to wear for lolita.

Does anyone know of any lolita-related brands that have fine jewelry or engagement ring collections? I considered VW but they only sell costume jewelry and Q-pot is a little too food themed

>>10939266
No. You're better off looking for vintage estate jewelry if you want something that goes well with lolita.

I never said lacefront baddie wigs. HH wigs with bangs are more affordable than lacefront wigs and it's really easy to find hh wigs in standard lolita styles.
I know that for some people wearing synthetic wigs is acceptable and that they were used in lolita publications. However, there are plenty of lolitas (myself included) who think synthetic wigs look bad.
Anon complained about "that fake shiny look" and the reality is that you will never be able to get rid of that tell tale shine on synthetic hair. If that bothers you HH is the only other option.

What's happening at moitie salon rn? Any news worth subscribing to?

For really special items like engagement rings I recommend reaching out to your local jeweler to make a custom one, it's not necessarily super expensive compared to buying off the shelf especially if you're cool with colored gemstones and lab gems as opposed to the normie "slap the biggest diamond possible on a plain band" approach. I designed my own ring and sent the drawing to the jeweler, who also made a sample 3D model and a wax model, and it was about $1600.
These aren't specifically lolita-focused brands but Oore has a ethereal nature-inspired style and Soulbound makes delicate vidya and anime-inspired jewelry, they may appeal to a lolita. Oore in particular has pretty fair prices for the complexity of her work, I'm probably getting my wedding band there.

No

Geez, it's so slow over there. I subscribe and unsubscribe from time to time expecting something new, but they sometimes spend weeks without any update.

Any anons interested in a craft thread? I was going to start one but I don't want to be the only poster.

I’m curious about the OTT Classic Lolita era. Please tell me how it came to be and how it was influence by the historical costuming community
