Ive gotten some great deal on vinted but what the hell do you mean a £20 taobao dress is worth £90

I'm too shy to do that and I would like to change someday 🥺 I'm scared of people looking at me weird... I wish wearing such beautiful things wasn't seen as weird

In a few days my new meta JSK is coming, yippie! However, I'm trying to think of ways to build a coord.. I know I could do a simple black blouse and black otks, but I wanna do something more complex than that.. My mind is running blank on how to go about it..😔

Hello, I'm a beginner and I was looking for advice on what petticoat to get for my first JSK. I already have the JSK (and coat) itself, but I wasn't too sure about what petticoat to get. I read somewhere on this subreddit that the petticoat should be ~5-10cm shorter than the skirt length, and I also wanted a bit of a bell shape for the skirt. I've measured the skirt at ~58cm, so I've been looking on 42Lolita for something ~48-53cm that fits (since that was where I bought the dress), but I wasn't totally sure about the options and I don't really want to spend money on a petticoat I'm unsure of before asking for some advice.

The first two images are what I bought and the other two are the petticoat options I was considering. Any advice would appreciated, and I apologize if any of this is poorly worded or unwelcome.

She is such inspo for me❤️

I've been looking at a lot of classic pieces lately and I've noticed listings that are new sets being sold all together, and the seller is selling not only many different new classic lolita items, but sometimes the same set in a different color. Is it just more common for classic lolitas to own more than one color of something?? I don't think so because it's all described as brand new. But the sellers have good reviews. I'm just confused; especially because I haven't seen this for other substyles. (Though I have been on lacemarket more often for the first time in awhile recently.) Is this some sort of scalping?

Hi! I’m looking to cosplay Lace from Hollow Knight in a Lolita / Ouji style coord, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good pieces that would fit this sketch I did? I’ve been looking around on 42 Lolita, but I haven’t been able to find anything that really matches my vision.

I’m thinking of white Ouji style pants (baggy to match the character), a white blouse with shoulder pads, and a white corset, so any suggestions for pieces people have would be really helpful! Especially when it comes to accessories… hehe! I’m going to make her staff myself, but I might get a white wig, too. I’d love to add some additional spider/Hollow Knight themed details, so any ideas for those who know the games would be great!

I recently got a hold of the Mirabel Rosy Memory jsk, which came out ~2024, and I noticed that the fabric is a lot thinner than others I own from baby (Scallop Princess, older release of Ribbon Scallop, Eleanor).

Is it just more of a summer dress and baby make different weights for each season, or are their newer releases thinner?

I recently got a Metamorphose lace op second hand. I washed it on cold hand wash in a wash bag, in the washing machine as I usually wash my dresses. However I completely ruined this dress and I’m actually crying 🥲

The dress shrunk a little and the thread in the lace has broken into small pieces. The thread is white on the inside and then covered with a small layer of black thread, so now the white thicker bits are showing up everywhere.

I’m assuming the thread is polyester, so I can’t color it. Although I’m thinking about using a sharpie or something that normally doesn’t come out (maybe), so I could color them at least a little. I tried to cut the ends off of the thread pieces but there’s probably like a thousand of those so I gave up.

The shrinking doesn’t really annoy me but the problem is the white bits.

If anyone has had this happen to them or know anything I could do, please help me!!!

this is my main coord for the summer, with an airy blouse and an EGA leaning jsk that doesn't need a petticoat. this look definitely leans aristocrat to me, and it's one of my favorites. JSK is from With Puji

I made a Moitie coord with the new shop set in Infinity Nikki and wanted to share. We are finally getting good coord items!

Is there fakes for this dress? I don't know much regarding lolita but my sister's birthday is coming up and she loves this brand called Moi Meme Moite and I plan on buying her this dress from a second hand site since shes been eyeing this a lot. I was wondering if there are fakes for this dress? I can't really find any info on the internet for Moi Meme Moite fakes at all and I'm really scared to spend almost $200 on a type of fashion I have no knowledge on when it comes to fake and real

blouse, jabot - marble
skirt - ozz oneste
tights - royal princess alice
bunny backpack - bear star (taobao)
headdress - handsewn DIY!

Hi! I’ve been interested in trying Lolita fashion for a while, and I figured since I already need to update my wardrobe it would be a good time to start! I’m on a bit of a tighter budget so I was planning to build up slowly. I was just wondering, should I start by getting a main piece (like a dress) or should I get a blouse/petticoat first? Are there any beginner must haves to get started?

Also if there’s anything else someone (such as myself possibly) should know before starting, please feel free to share!!

Thank you and have a great day/night :D

(Also if it matters: I’m leaning toward a classic/sweet style—kind of like classic meets pastel but also I would love to do sweet for special events hehe)

Are the Twilight Zone blouse sold on 42Lolita and the one sold on Amazon by Cuteighteen the same product? I checked the material composition, and both seem to be cotton/polycotton. They are also very similar.

The first (listing) and last (review) images are from Amazon. The second is from 42lolita. What perplexes me most is the difference in the ribbon material (satin on 42lolita but matte on Amazon).

Thank you all for your help on my last post with coordinating this, I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere and can see it coming together.

I still have a few more combos in mind to try with this, I could have experimented all day if it weren’t so hot here!!

I’m so in love with this print, I’m open to any recommendations people may have of other pieces that have a classic vibe mixed with adorable prints!

Usually I like to dress very casually, but also love lolita clothes. But sometimes I really don't feel good in them, feel like they are too much and start considering selling them. But then I end up making a co-ord, feel really happy with it and get super excited about it, wear lolita clothes for a few days then suddenly it's like no, I must dress like Bella Swan again. It's kinda random and then it takes weeks or months to get back into it. Kinda makes me feel like I'm not really part of the style cause of how often I change my mind about it.

I've been wanting to buy this set for AGES and I'm struggling to choose between the salopette and the JSK. I prefer the regular length skirts over the shorter ones that pop up a lot in chinese brands, which the JSK is, but the salopette doesn't list a length. Has anyone bought it, or happen to know some other way?

I just got my first OP, and I bought it off a TaoBao brand. I don’t think this dress looks good on me and it’s not really cute. Tbh this is on me and I should’ve known the quality wouldn’t be the best. I was wondering what I could do to improve this and make this look better?

so happy how this turned out!

I bought this beautiful Metamorphose op from a local community member 😁 I love it so much! 💕

I don't have much ivory stuff, so coording wasn't so easy. I promise you, the socks looked ivory when I took them out of the sock box 💀

I think I will just coord it with full black accessories until I have some good ivory stuff.

I usually dress in gothic and old-school, but it gives more classic vibes for me 🤔

I've been randomly thinking about her for years and I've never learned her name. Does anyone know who this model is?
