>>10508697This outfit is so weird. It makes me think of Clarabelle the Cow for some reason. Is this what pink house style looks like these days?
>>10508703>>10508706yes, sometimes

I would kill for an old school pack
>>10508395I think it was during a time when the market was more open to brand in general and not as oversaturated desu. She sold one of the dresses to me which I then sold again eventually, not sure what happened to the others but she's always had a knack for selling secondhand too. All I know is that she has no main pieces left from that lucky pack.
>>10508423Bait? Or... Retard?
>>10508689what are you talking about newfag? old school is my favorite brand
>>10508430nice. I'll just pray for good RNG to hit me with a sale and wait out the... chaos that is secondhand rn.

>>10507750Why are black lolitas so fucking tragic
>>10508675Oh man I skimmed it and it is truly a train wreck. Most of her posts sounds like a 12 year old temper tantrum. Isn't this lady like 40??
>>10507722Isnt this the Brazilian girl that owns CCF? Who has a massive closet? I honestly wonder how tf she fits into this moitie dress and her other brand. She doesn't look like she should fit at all.
>>10508700no, not the same person. this one is a classic example of lots of burando but no taste lol

>>10507454Yeah, this is your fault anon like >>10507486 said - you should have been given timescales too, custom orders don't take a week from what I know.
>>10495634I bought a christma-y nanchatte set from them. the clothing was super nice and the cardigan super thick, weighty and nice feeling. only complaint was the skirt had a black slip/underskirt (and it wasn't needed, the skirt was a decent thickness). the circumference of the underskirt was way smaller than the skirt itself, so I had to remove it so my hips had room. definitely recommend them.>pic related
>>10507689Link to cardigan?
>>10508500The listing DID have the cardigan as an option, but I guess it sold out so they removed it? https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=607030220408This cardigan I found is a similar color scheme at least. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5-c-s.w4002-15466451251.14.3ff11c4e7Phzzg&id=631801807967

>>10508248holy shit is this makeup?

Link to old thread: >>10502087Ask dumb questions, wash your clothes, etc
>>10507984Speaking of lolita collective, I ordered a blouse in August and it has not even been shipped yet. Is this normal for this site?
>>10507753Based on what I've read, Bhiner Economy is an air-based shipping method though.
Very on topic for this thread, but I just washed pic related for the first time and some of the red dye transferred to the white collar despite using like 7 color catcher sheets. I washed the waist ties first as a test and the sheet I used didn't have even a tiny bit of transfer so I thought I was in the clear, but I suppose not. Thankfully the sleeves are detachable so they were spared. Any idea on how to go forward getting this pink staining out of the collar? I'm super bummed.
>>10508587I use rit color remover powder on a red solid AP OP that bled pink on to the white collar, not sure if it will affect the print but it may work
>>10508587notyourhime.h had an insta story recently about using dish soap to get bleeding red dye out, but unfortunately i don't remember the full details of her method. try googling about dish soap, maybe you can find more info.
Last Thread: >>10456245> Latest purchases> Dream dresses> Gothic coordinate pics> Favorite pieces> etc.
>>10508645I don’t see it actually adding bulk? It just is gathered. It’s the same as the long op and gardenia op
>>10508648I don't think I've had $15 champagne that was decent, but we also have crazy import taxes here for alcohol so everything is inflated I guess.>>10508651I feel like the gatheredness makes the waist appear larger than it is? I'd have preferred if it was a belt across or if the waist ties were the regular ones that aren't gathered.
>>10508657Cupcake prosecco definitely isn't terrible and it's like 10 bucks at most grocery stores in the US. Kriter blanc de blanc ice is basically a cheap version of Moet Ice and it's $15 and pretty good. I guess being a Burgerlander isn't the worst all the time, at least we can drink decent bubbly for cheap to forget about the whole no healthcare thing.
>>10508667Thanks for the recommendations anon, I'll keep a lookout for those. It'll probably be like $30 here after import taxes. That comment about healthcare, oof. Take care out there anon.

>>10503985I don't do itabags but I've been interested in the practice. Do you bring this purses aroudn at cons? Do you take them with you when going out with other nerdy friends? I'm curious
does anyone have any experience with these and what the quality is like? from a seller called geek the halls
>>10508480both, really. I bring them to weeb movie showings too.
>>10508482that looks like garabage and its just the promos... is there a reason you want this bag in particular?
>>10508482I tried looking up reviews of them - I only found one done by a personal friend of the seller. Honestly wouldn't really trust it.
Haven't has one in a long time, so here we go. Post your wtf-inducing, unnerving, poorly made, not-remotely-lolita, and other finds from Etsy and other sites.
>>10505731she wasn't really behaving in a proper way for a queen, her mom and big bro tried to warn her a lot abour it, knowing full well it was given her haters ammunition against her. Louis XVI was a good man, he was too nice/weak to really ask his wife to act in a proper regal way. They were not monsters just naive/weak. They never received the proper education to prepare them for their jobs. Louis XVI weren't the first in line in succession for a long time and Antoinette was one of the last children of Marie Thérèse and she was very spoiled. And they did surround themselves with a bunch of parasites to not help their cases.
>>10507086It's like if Paris Hilton became president somehow. Like of course shes going to fuck up, rich party-girls always do
>>10507086She was honestly not even as bad as you are describing even for the times. It really was just because she was Austrian and the resentment that society had for the visibly wealthy which was understandable. She was interesting in that while she didn't do anything to support systemic problems (which wasn't her job or what she was educated for) she would often offer help when she came across poor people in person, like paying for an orphan/poor child's boarding and doing other small favors for the poor. The government had problems but there is a ton of misinformation and lots of rumors that don't really give an accurate account of what she was personally like or her actions since there were a lot of phony scandals and stuff. She wasn't perfect and fuck/eat the rich and all that but she probably did as good a job as queen as the average teen to 20s young girl her age would have given they were trained as royalty and grew up with wealth.
>>10505633What a waste of expensive pencils.
the rest of their store is normal things like knit gloves, i have no idea what is up with this

>>10507075The GOP in the Senate decided to fuck over Americans again and not give any support/protection for job loss and etc.Sadly, a lot of Americans are struggling to pay rent/medical bills/find employment so "fun" hobbies get pushed to the side
For those of you who sell various sizes of prints, if you have, say, 11x17s + 5x7/4x6 postcards, do you just send them in a tube? I'm a bit worried/paranoid that the post cards will be really hard to flatten out.
>>10508516I send postcards in rigid mailers! big prints just go in tubes though.
>>10508616Ah sorry, I meant if you're sending them together! Thanks for the input though!
>>10508516Cardstock is pretty hard to flatten out, so I rather have it shipped as a separate envelope than rolled into the tube.
What are your opinions on cosplay photographers?
>>10505856Depends on what a photographer is doing to get taxed, but a legit one, trying to write off expenses, will indeed be taxed, as long as they are being honest in their expenditures.
>>10505577it's always the one that is not paying for shoots that complain and trying to tell you what to docosplayers like telling photographers what they should shoot but people are not allowed to tell them what to cosplay
good advice in this thread, i'll kinda share too.I was a staff member and cos photog>yeah talk about the fucking worst combo in existenceabsolute hell. Cosplayers don't want to be your friends, just take the goddamn photo and pray to god they're not going to tell their friends about how shit you are. also, dont. I repeat. Don't fucking date cosplayers. p.s usually ero-cosplayers tend to be the chilliest people ironically.

>>10508557No shade, are her parents super old? She looks middle aged. Very strange.
>>10508581Yea she made a post earlier asking if she was too old for lolita. But i bet her parents were old even when she was born. Having kids late in life usually returns this breed of autist that never leave home or get a job
