/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I used to really like the cyberpunk harajuku stuff when I was younger. I almost want to try combining it with otome somehow. Create some kind of conservative feminine "future" fashion.

>>10440169
this looks like a cosplay

>>10440330
Yea it kinda does. It looks like an edgy DA character and that's partially why I liked it.

I think https://harajuku-pop.com/ is a good site to keep updated on general jfash nowadays.

>>10440169
im in love with takuya angel

I wish other brands did twinning photoshoots as often as Fint. It's so cute.

Axes femme puts out some good stuff. A lot of the staff have an account for outfits

I miss larme threads

Is there any alternative to Mezzo Piano for this style? I find it so cute but I'm not sure if Mezzo Piano will fit me, I'm Asian but I am 5'4" so I'm a little on the taller side. I'm also having a bitch of a time finding good quality pieces.

>>10442374
Isn't this style just literal children's clothes in the biggest size? You can buy those anywhere

>>10442395
yes, it's japanese ageplay crap.

>>10442414

It was a real trend at one point but men like to take everything women like and ruin it with their penises.

>>10442417
Pretty sure most people would think dressing in children's clothes is still weird and creepy even without men involved.

>>10442417
even if it was, it's been riddled with lolibait and anachans the entire time. what kind of sane person would want to wear explicitly children's clothing? i have no issues with clothing that is styled like that but it's really creepy to wear child brands.

>>10442423
exactly. most of the people into it posted body checks almost constantly.

>>10442423

I'm really short and at lower weights I will occasionally buy pieces in children's size XL or L to make sure the sleeves fit and it's not super long (not specific child brands but just so I can have a size that fits me and sometimes it's cute pink or frilly stuff that is hard to get in the West in adult clothes). I don't think it's creepy to buy what fits but as other anons said it being an ana chan thing or related to weird shit is a bit abnormal so I can see both sides of it.

>>10442429
it's definitely creepy when you're only buying children's clothes simply because they are children's clothes. it isn't like japan has any shortage of options for kawaii clothing.

No more derailing with bad ageplay bait, actual fashion discussion please

Did anyone ever make the spreadsheet with all the social media/stores from the last casual general?

>>10442442

>>10442443

>>10442209
thanks, i will check that out

>>10442374
there's a taobao brand that also makes that kinda stuff
https://venicecat.taobao.com/

>>10442442
>bad ageplay bait
maybe don't be into weird anachan fashion then.

>>10442456

This brand is super cute and casual without looking like you're hijacking your 9 year old sister's wardrobe from Justice. Nice.

>>10442458
> Axes femme
> Weird anachan fashion
If you're not going to share then be salty somewhere else

>>10440169
Maybe you can take inspiration from uchuu kei too since it’s a little more kawaii and feminine in my opinion

>>10442574
did you miss the conversation?

Thoughts on Secret Honey?

Does anyone know what's going on with Larme (the actual magazine not whatever community there might be left)?

>>10442769
The original editor came back and it's holding a model contest rn, it's doing better than ever before.

>>10442769
The original editor came back and it's holding a model contest rn, it's doing better than ever before.

>>10442769
There are some posts on the Instagram I think saying the magazine will resume in September. Something about ‘new Larme’. My phone doesn’t translate it properly and I can’t read Japanese unfortunately.

>>10442764
Way too expensive for what it is

>>10442869
How so? It's a lot cheaper than other brands doing similar stuff, like Ank Rouge and DreamV for example.

>>10442285
this

>>10442964
nta but it kind of feels a bit cheaper than those brands.

>>10443513
A bit? It costs about the half most the time, you can get jackets at SH for ~40USD while you need to pay 90USD+ at Ank and DreamV.

>>10443699
+ all of them are made in the same factory in China, just judging by all shops selling factory rejects having those 3.

>>10442964
Sorry, I've only looked into their Disney stuff. The prices for that shit is insane

>>10442797
>>10442799
Nayrt but that's the general gist I've gotten too, I haven't bought a larme magazine in a long time but I'm looking forward to September! Really missed the old editorials that made me fall in love with larme in the first place.

>>10443699
feels cheaper as in the quality. also what " factory rejects"? do you mean bootlegs?

>>10443735
Really? My Secret Honey pieces are higher quality than my Ank Rouge and DreamV pieces

>>10443741
I'd say Secret Honey and Ank Rouge are about the same quality, both are better than DreamV but I wouldn't rank SH above AR (perhaps it is hit or miss pieces, but if I compare blazer to blazer and blouse to blouse I think they are about the same)

>>10443735
I meant literal factory rejects, it ain't bootlegs when faulty pieces pop up on Taobao before their official release.

god i love strawberry printed designs

Amilige is having a clearance sale
https://amilige.jp/collections/20summersale

>>10442764
If you’re not looking for the Disney stuff, Secret Honey is pretty reasonable price wise secondhand. I’ve never liked any of it enough to buy though.

>>10441793
FINT always has the cutest photoshoots, but everything I've bought from them has been kind of disappointing in quality IRL

>>10442797
>tfw you will never be a cute Japanese girl
>tfw you will never ever model cute outfits for larme
why continue living anons?

>>10443735
The one SH dress I own is made of sturdy cotton and feels incredibly well-made overall. Maybe their quality's gone down recently?

>>10446520
NTA but I own a recent release and it's not bad quality either.

>>10446435

I've heard this but I've never been disappointed? Their stuff is probably the closest I can get to cutesy while remaining vaguely work appropriate.

The band who always sort of disappointed me the most has been Axes Femme. Their dresses never quite drape well on me.

Jamie has a sale going on.
https://ailand-store.jp/ap/s/s?sort=fsdt+desc&fq=scls:n_sale&fq=-stnum:0&fq=bd:AL120&fq=kw:%2a+NOT+kw:200701_jam_ex%2a&pi3=233619

>>10446435
>>10446599
I find the quality on par with brands like Ank Rouge. Not the best, but seems average for the price point. I didn't love the polyester they used but had worse.

I was always the most disappointed with Swankiss. The materials felt disappointingly cheap every time and I got a dress with a significant flaw.

>>10440160
I ordered a couple of purses and dresses on sale from Liz Lisa. DHL shipping was a little bit more than EMS but it wasn’t too too bad. I’m really hoping Japan Post opens up again to the US soon.

>>10446989
I like Swankiss’s knit pieces but that’s mostly it. They are so hit and miss in quality. They also use pretty poor quality lace so I never buy their lace items. I’m not a lolita so I’m not super finicky with lace, but Swankiss items’ lace is worse than other jfashion brands.

Is there a Liz Lisa or himekaji discord?

Thought this was pretty funnybut Iggy Azalea bought some fake grimoire tights that some etsy seller had turned into a top.

>>10449535
This is both the funniest fucking thing I've seen and so crafty... wtf I've never seen anyone do this

>>10449535
Loool

>>10449535
she's so stupid. does she not see the model is in a bra?

>>10449535
I've actually seen this before. It's one of those "5 minute hacks" things

>>10449535
>>10449536
>>10449544
lmao this 'hack' has been around since the 80's
source: i am old.

>>10449646
Conversely, my aunt told me in the USSR patterned pantyhose were expensive, but the factory defects along with their nondefective halves that were not yet sewn together were sold as cheap window insulation, so she would buy the packs of insulation and seek out matching nondefective pairs to sew together so she could style on everybody else at school.

>>10449076
I hope there is! I was just thinking how nice it would be talk with other people into Liz Lisa/himekaji on something like Discord the other day.

If there isn’t, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to start one?

>>10449725
I'd join it.

>>10449725
>>10449856
well I couldn't find any so I went ahead and made one

https://discord.gg/maMJZTF

Since this year I'm much more into male clothing, from brands like Milkboy, Civarize, and h.Naoto. But I don't know where to buy my trousers, since I only fit the tops of Japanese brands. Any ideas? I'm bored of just wearing normal jeans.

>>10449966

>>10449968

>>10449969

>>10449966
How about Tripp pants? They're a classic after all and will fit well with h naoto and civarize

>>10449995
Do they even make those anymore???

>>10450043
It's still their top seller actually, e-girls buy them en masse.
https://trippnyc.com/

>>10446435
I bought some shoes from then that have been ok so far but we’ll see I guess.

DreamV started its summer sale:
https://www.dreamvs.jp/shop/pages/summersale.aspx

Is there a brand similar to Liz Lisa but high quality? I wanna invest but not have shit..

>>10450264
I love their shoes so much but going through an SS now seems like a hassle.

>>10451623
is the quality good? I've always worried the strap will snap easily

>>10451617
Lodispotto is pretty nice.

>>10451623
You can try Rakuten global

>>10451646
rakuten global is gone anon. since june.

>>10451645
Thanks anon! Looks really cool

>>10451645
>>10451657
I own a lot of lodispotto and I would say while it's nicer quality than Liz Lisa, it's not something I would describe as high quality. Stitching is not always too great but in general it's still higher quality than LL. Would still recommend, easily found cheap secondhand too.

>>10451654
Sorry I meant Rakuten Global express, the forwarding service. Im not sure if tenso is still a thing but it’s the equivalent for just Rakuten shops

>>10451885
Tenso is still available

>>10450846
Is this recent?

>>10452095
Nah, I checked and it was released back in 2017.

>>10451694
Any recs? The stuff I see that are usually higher quality gulls don't like in these threads

Is there any general j-fashion discord servers?

>>10449995
They don't have that brand in my country

Any of you see any coords worth sharing recently?

>>10459179
Depends on what style, but I for one find all the masks are distracting.

>>10454439
I suppose they have readily available jfash in your country instead. /s

>>10459179
not really. these bear tops are cute, but my shoulders are too wide for off-shoulder cuts, and i already have a similar design. everything else looks boring.

>>10459305
the only thing that has caught my eye has been erinko's bangs because they don't have the usual fringe in the middle. I'm not good with hair, so i wonder how she curls them into that specific shape. i feel like my hair is too fine for a full fringe, so I'd like to try her look.

Why is the jfashion tag on insta such a mess? Is there any other good tags for inspo other than the brand tags?

>>10459414
IG as whole has become trash due to not having a tag limit like other sites, the best you can get is going into the japanese tags.

>>10459414
because the western community of weebs figured out the japanese tags. whenever that happens the tags get filled with useless shit.

will the teddy bear photo print fad ever end

>>10460585
I hope not

>>10459181
What? It’s not like masks are new in jfashion. Snaps already had tons of masks for years

>>10459307
Looks like a loose barrel curl

>>10449535
>>10449537
I feel so fucking sorry for Grimoire. I've never seen anyone buy the actual pair from the brand. Chinese replicas are a plague if even some american rapper can buy Grimoire replicas on Etsy, of all places.

>>10460678
>I've never seen anyone buy the actual pair from the brand.
Might have to do with the fact that the designer for those left them around the time Dolly Kei went popular.

>>10460590
yeah, but not ott fashion ones that clash with the outfit

>>10459305
now this is more up my alley

>>10464115
a cat with a curler in its hair

>>10460678
...Iggy is Australian and Chinese replica sellers don't sell on platforms like Etsy. This whole comment is so misinformed.

>>10464115
Oh man the pre order for the pink cat sweater is already sold out. Oh well.

>>10464121
yeah, same with the skirt. I'll be waiting for a restock. but peep this hoodie dress that is visible in the sneaker listing. it must be coming soon.

>>10464119
are you stupid?

>>10464140
Are facts stupid?

>>10464158
my bad, didn't realize it's 2016 when dropshipping didn't exist and etsy wasn't full of shitty chinese crap.

>>10464159
Etsy is for handmade+vintage only, anything else is not approved.

>>10464160

are you actually kidding on

>>10464160
NICE TO BE LIVING IN 2016

>>10464160
I don’t even know what to say. The site is so over run within Taobao resellers that they gave up, changed their policies and flat out don’t even say they are a handmade retailer anymore lmao

>>10464186
Speaking off, anyone here knowing a good alternative to Etsy for handmade goods? I'm tired of Taobao resellers being everywhere.

>>10465816
honestly facebook. you can find good handmade groups that are full of sellers.

Trying to find things in my size is not going as well as I woukd have hoped. Going to need to kitbash the basics from costume shops and accent with Ouji stuff

Idk if this is the right thread for this, but I'd love to wear nanchatte without looking too weeby. I like preppy outfits, tartan and ties and I'd like to incorporate them to more normie-approved fits. Does anyone here have inspo pics saved?

>>10468495
usually nanchatte is strong enough to have their own general, but I'm sorry I totally forgot to link it in the OP and now it looks like it expired. Keep an eye out for a new general, and in the meantime try searching for the old nanchatte generals on an archive site - you should be able to find lots of content and advice that way. I don't participate myself, I only skim their threads, so sorry I can't be more help!

>>10468529
Thanks! I've been lurking archives but I'm still hoping someone would make a new general.

I'm looking for otome brands with consistently great quality. I want to buy mature and simple OP's made out of sturdy fabric that will last me for years, but I don't really know where to start. Non-japanese brands are ok too. Thanks in advance, I'm really hopeless when it comes to this.

>>10468548
the western nanchatte comm has been pretty dead lately, even the discord doesn't really have that many active members atm. I could send you and invite if you want one? I've been thinking about making a new general, but I've never created one on my own so I haven't dared

>>10468860
Which kind of otome? You mean the casual lolita stuff? There you just go for ETC or Milk.

>>10468548
>>10468879
y'all are certainly welcome to join the other jfash general. here is some content I've seen recently

>>10468929

>>10468930

>>10468932

>>10468933

>>10468934
end of minidump

>>10468860
I’m always impressed with MILK. I buy from them a lot and never have any complaints about quality. They use polyester sometimes though, so if that bothers you check the materials before buying. I don’t mind good quality poly.

Also Jane Marple, ETC, Leur Getter. Qpot’s clothing line is nice too.

>>10468879
>>10468929
Thanks a bunch! I might ask the discord link here later but rn I'm really busy with my studies so I'm taking a social media break. Enjoy the fall anons! It's the best season for cute clothes.

>>10468930
oh man that outfit is super cute, I'm loving the pastels

hopping in to show my love for mori, any brands y'all recommend? RIP wonderrocket

Sometimes brands are really not aware on what their motifs mean... Can't tell me Ank wants to attract hardcore christians.

>>10472209
>>10451283

>>10472322
ironic christianity is really popular right now even outside of japan.

>>10472330
it was also popular like ten years ago. we've come a full circle

>>10472373
Next we might as well have a Cult Party revival.

>>10472410
I'm so down for this it's not even funny.

>>10472410
>>10472458
Most of the old brands still create the same stuff anyways (Virgin Mary seems to have some obsession with teeth and bones lately tho).

>>10472479
for a moment i thought the candelabra was headwear and then i was disappointed

>>10459305
I wish this wasn't the default colour scheme for liz lisa. Their stuff is so cute but I look terrible in oatmeal/dusty pink shades.

>>10474882
That's why I've been buying up all their lav/gray stuff. I want to get into their wine colorway as well, but I already have a lot of pieces so I'm trying to restrain myself. I feel neutral about pink, but the oatmeal is a no-go because I'm basically oatmeal-colored all over so it would be really washed out and unflattering. The black colorways are kind of harsh for me as well, but maybe they would suit you?

>>10442417
Are you slow? Ageplay is primarily popular among women. They don't wear it to get guys off its to get themselves off lol.

Let's not do this to my good thread, now.

>>10475012
Is there even a term for that kind of...chest apron?

>>10475108
it's probably listed as some kind of bib or dickey

>>10474985
is this what scrotes actually believe? next you'll be telling me woman totally love anal and don't just do it for men

>>10475108
Pink House called it an apron vest.

>>10475205
actually i agree with them. women into ageplay are really into how they are sexual without being traditionally sexy. being able to look cute and be an anachan while being considered attractive is very appealing to many women.

>>10475236
ah yes the tradition of being sexualized as a grown woman instead of as a child

is anyone gonna tell those people there are better ways to be cute and feel attractive without dating dietpedos

>>10475262
ana-chans are nuts, anon. i can't begin to understand them.

>>10475205
>>10475236
>>10475262
>>10475268
take it to a confessions/feels/unpopular opinions or whatever the fuck thread

>>10475012
Btw, I highly recommend http://www.clubcandy.jp/ if you want to get Pink House for cheaper, it's a store for secondhand otome (as in the actual japanese fashion, and not the wannabe casual lolita the west does).

Does anybody have the jfashion discord link?

huh, a mask chain. like for granny glasses, but cute and for masks.

>>10475509

Thank you for the rec. Always nice to find more places selling nice secondhand stuff.

Any jfashion tips for cold weather? I'm moving from a tropical climate to a regular one. I've heard of sheer tights over nude fleece tights. Anything else like that I should know?

>>10481702
How cold of a climate are we talking about?
The fleece tights are a good start, buy layering over all helps you keep warm. UNIQLO heat tech shirts are super thin but help you keep super warm in winter!
Keeping your feet and stomach warm is most important imo, as long as those are nice and toasty a pair of thick tights should be enough for your legs.
A good coat or jacket is also a great investment, and remember to keep your hands and ears warm in winter!

>>10481738
not too cold, denver. just cold compared to the south, so it will take me a bit to get used to it. i bought a nice coat recently, but i need to think of tricks i don't normally think of like maybe spraying my shoes with something to repel snow

Just a heads up that H&M has quite the girly/larme-y stuff atm as part of their collab with designer Sandra Mansour.

these bloomers are gorgeous

>>10442581
Uchuu kei isn’t a thing. Westerners made it up.

>>10445716
Do you have a link for any of the Taobao shops that sell these factory rejects, by chance?

>>10485004
no, they are lying

>>10485017
You sound new, as mentioned previously there's been plenty of instances where some brand releases even popped up on factory reject stores before their announcement.
>>10485004

Thanks, anon!

im falling in love with fint

>>10485425
their designs are all so cute I just wish more of it was cotton and not poly

>>10485437
definitely. it's difficult finding jfashion brands that use cotton instead of polyester.

cute halloween pjs

Did Liz Lisa's shipping become more expensive or am I imagining things? Just thought I'd buy 2 dresses on sale but ugh..

>>10485928
liz lisa, jesus diamante and fint all use cotton sometimes, you just gotta make sure you check the materials! I agree it sucks though when you see something cute and then... ugh, it’s plastic

>>10491548
JP shipping seems to have increased in general.

>>10491548
do you mean the DHL shipping price has changed? or the change from EMS to DHL? might be the shipping rates rising because it's going to ba a super busy year for ecommerce due to corona, people shopping online instead of going out, and the holiday season is fast approaching.

Ank and Jamie announced their lucky packs today.

>>10491549
ooh, I'll keep those brans in mind, thanks! I'm probably going to have to keep digging for cotton stuff.

Would it be retarded to still wear Liz Lisa at 30? And not a 30 year old who looks 20

>>10493757
I don't see a problem with it, plenty of old gyarus still going for it.

>>10493796
Don't they look younger though?

>>10493804
Outside of heavily edited online pics? No.

>>10493504
Fukubukuro season sneaking up on me this year. I didn't expect companies to do it given the mess of the economy

>>10489811
Super cute, any sauce on that bag?

>>10493757
there's no problem with anyone wearing whatever at whatever age. especially with stuff like this that will eventually go out of style. i still wear it and will continue to until my clothes are worn out, even if i am 50 or 60 or something.

>>10468879
>>10468934
>>10468932
What’s a good style to go for in the 25-30 age range? I reallly like the schoolgirl thing particularly these types of skirt but I don’t want to look like a turbo autist

>>10493862
Just go for longer skirts and that's about it, not too different to office lady fashion.

>>10493757
I still wear Liz Lisa and I’m 30. I don’t wear their mini dresses as much anymore, although I still have a few I don’t want to part with, but I love their separates and they’ve been making more longer skirts lately. At this point I own nearly all of their knee-length skirts. Another similar but slightly more mature brand is lodispotto, you could try looking into them for inspiration.

>>10493870
Liz Lisa longer skirt example.

The DearMyLove design contest winners are out.

>>10494215

>>10494215
it's too bad dearmylove's quality is taobao cosplay tier.

>>10494227
It really isn't, its no different to any other casual jfashion brand.

>>10494227
>2020
>still using Taobao as insult

>>10494232
I've bought from them in the past and it felt like I was wearing a costume. Most jfashion brands don't have the best quality but they aren't as bad.

>>10494233
so you're fine with me calling it cheap cosplay? Ok.

I buy from taobao all the time. Definitely a difference between taobao clothing vs taobao cosplay.

>>10493873
That bunny sweater is to die for

>>10494236
You missed the part where most Taobao cosplays are higher quality than what you find in western or japanese cosplay stores, that's why it's dumb.

>>10494235
I own recent pieces to them and they are on par with Listen Flavor's goth stuff. If you want to talk about bad quality, go for Swankiss.

They are held twice a year, one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter. You basicly post your design under a specific hashtag on IG or Twitter, and the 5 designs with the most likes win.

>>10494215
this would be so cute if it the pink was actually pink and not that horrible dusty muted mauve brands insist on using

>>10493757
no, it might jut depend on how you style it. but 30 is still young, you arent sentenced to a life of boring clothing at 30.

>>10494333
Agreed, just do whatever you want. Fuck normies who think you can't do shit just because you're older.

>>10494338
DA

Agreed. I'm over 30 now and if anything I wear crazier shit than I did when I was young, and I get better reactions to it. Teenagers on the internet freak out about "old people" wearing different fashions, but actual adults irl have better things to worry about. No one cares if you wear mini skirts and girly fashion, just like no actual adult cares about grandpa's socks+sandals.

>>10494309
I actually prefer my Swankiss pieces. Granted I go for their knitwear more than their cheap lace pieces. You don’t even need to see it in person to know which things from Swankiss are ok and which are pure junk.

Pic related, you should be able to tell the skirt is shit from pictures alone.

I just had higher hopes for dreamv but when I finally bought some stuff it just wasn’t great.

>>10494304
I still don’t want to wear clothing that feels like a costume.

>>10494369
My idol is someone I know who is near 60 and wears the wackiest shit, mini skirts, leopard print, whatever she wants, and just rocks it because she's confident and doesn't give a fuck

I asked this in the BST thread too; does anyone have any idea where I can find/effectively search for second hand Katie? I love that brand and I always want to check second hand first before buying new, especially because of past trends. I tried all of the basic places such as ebay already. Maybe a .jp site? thanks in advance anons, i love katie sooo much

>>10494391
Fril, mercari, yahoo auctions.

You’ll need a shopping service.

>>10494383

Is it baddiewinkle?

I was wanting to buy some Liz Lisa off of their overseas site and they're using DHL to ship now, does anyone know how much shipping is with them?

>>10494639
Pretty expensive, but if you can get it split into multiple packages it ends up way cheaper.

>>10494639
same as cc. starts at 20 bucks. i think that price goes up to 2 kg. i got the hair salon skirt and sweater at 2,100jpy shipping; also got a onepiece and bracelet at 2,100 shipping; got hairclips x2, pierces, OP, charm, cami, and socks also 2,100jpy.

>>10494645
>>10494894
OP here. Yeah, I just bought a skirt and shipping was $20.. I mean, it's not too bad and I was expecting more. I was planning on buying a jacket later so good to know, though.

>>10494331
It’s called millennial pink, anon

Millenials ruined the color pink

>t.zoomer

>>10495240
I love it in product packaging and interior design, but yeah it really sucks in clothing. Sorry we fucked it up anon

>t. apologetic millennial

>>10495180
no it's called madoka pink.

>>10495328

"Madoka"s pink is far more pastel and cute.

>>10495333
not her fugly hair.

>>10495341

Maybe her normie everyday look but her magical girl form has pastel pink hair.

>>10495240
The naming comes from Vogue tho and that ain't run by millenials.

>>10495240
It's better than the orangey pink AP used to use

Does anyone know what material is used for rose marie seoir's puff bags and powder puff earrings/hairclips? I find them super cute, but I'm worried they're real fur. Website doesn't seem to have any info

>>10496363
sadly they used real rabbit fur for the puff hairclips in the past (I very nearly bought some earrings from them in person once) so it would not surprise me if they still did.

>>10496369
Ah, thats a shame. They probably wouldn't use it for the bag tho, right? Don't think I'll order anything until I know for sure tho.
Thank you either way!

Do Conomi or Eastboy release fukubukuros and if they do, are they worth buying?

>>10496489
Conomi does, I think they used to do two bags (one small and one large) but I don't remember for sure. here is their 2019 announcement:

I like it and dislike it at the same time, lulz

Can someone translate this

Bigger one

>>10496580
We already had that before, left is about girls that are highly obsessed with band dudes and dress in a way they like, and the right is a wrist-cutting nutjob, it's stereotypes.

>>10496580
>>10496581
tl;dr: Left is fans of male idol groups (mainly those under the talent label "Johnnys") that wear the girly style that the band dudes love to the degree that they all look the same (the term means "mass-produced wota"). The right is pretty much the same thing but they stalk the guy they like, cut themself, and are abusive towards others (the term means "landmine-type" as they tend to explosive temper tantrums). Both have in common that they wear a variant of ガーリー, do eyebag makeup, and write "pien" (japanese for "sob") a lot in their posts. It's the names of idol fan stereotypes.

does anyone have Larme scans of recent issues? the place I used to go for those is gone

>>10496669
There isn't much of recent issues as there is only one since the relaunch, and that is supposed to release this month.

>>10496592
Also the bottom it says "Pink: What their Oshi would find cute" and Black: What they think is cute"
Although nowadays I've noticed it seems to be used to describe the overall aesthetic.

>>10496733
I meant in general, if been off the bandwagon for a while and wanna come back.

>>10498174
Basicly Larme has changed to sa magazine that features what men like rather than what girls like, so you won't find much of the newer content as people stopped buying it.

>>10498226
oh that sucks. I used to really like their photoshoots

>>10498226
>features what men like rather than what girls like
sauce? When/how did this happen?

>>10498275
Got the new issue and there was an underwear shoot, but other than that idgi.

It feels like it was targeted at a younger audience than before which was disappointing. The styles were all very young looking and featured a lot of that neo romantic style. I miss the mature feeling the magazine used to have. I’ll probably get the next issue and if it’s the same I’ll stop buying it.

>>10498385
I can't understand you.

>>10498275
just look at their twitter (pic related) and how jp girls are taking it

>>10498406
half their twitter is girls in undies

>>10498406
half the content there is "sexy"

>>10498408

>>10498409

>>10498410

>>10498411

>>10498408
>>10498406
I get these two are lingerie shoots but everything else seems pretty par for the course? They made me think of One Spo last year, though if they’re now falling behind on trends instead of making them I can see why less people are buying

>>10498420
It's basicly not much different to jp normie magazines, makeup aside.

>>10498420
i think that anything vaguely sexual sets of japanese women since all their men are neckbeards at best.

that's a lot of Pink House in one photo

>>10499779
that's a few grand in a single picture

>>10498420

Not the one who posted them, but imo there's a bit of difference to their expressions/photo styling and the older Larme photos.

Probably the key is that these are bordering on looking like ads for soaplands or "health services". Like I get that Larme was never about having happy smiley models, but these ones are just kinda sleazy. You can almost picture them on a signboard in front of some dodgy establishment advertising which girl you want to accompany you while you drink.

The older Larme photos kind of have the vibe of looking more like "young girl exploring sexy clothes" rather than "young girl available" imo.

>>10495231
So if you wanted to buy this how do you? I love this actually

>>10502134
Sold within hours of its release you you can't anymore.

>>10499779
Why do Chinese lolitas love Pinkhouse so much

>>10500215
this is pretty cringe, anon.

>>10502245
Symbol of wealth.

>>10502245
More money that taste

>>10502403
Wouldn't this be better in the natural/vintage jfash thread.

>>10502245
Because Pink House is cute, I'm glad they're getting sales

Secret Honey has free shipping.

I have a really specific kind of "how to deal with annoying people in public"-type of question:

I know how to not give a shit about people who just laugh or stare me down for what seems like forever, and people who call me nasty things, but i can't seem to deal with 1) people filming me and 2) people asking questions like "why are you dressed like that?" (But in a really shitty and nagging way, you know what i mean), without getting all panicky inside and shutting down. What even is the proper response to these situations?

>>10504524
Nobody expects to be confronted so I usually give them the stink eye when I see them recording me. Like full disgusted face. I've practiced my disgusted faces for catcallers lol so I just use them for rude people too. You can always use your phone to record them too and say stuff like "look at this boring people/gross dude recording me" in a loud voice or whatever. They usually get confused or insulted, and leave. They know they are being rude, otherwise they would've asked for photos.

2) again, stink eye for being approached by a rude normie, and then you can either a) look them up and down, laugh, then walk away (nothing worse than being ignored for this people).
b) "I have better things to do than to educate the ignorant"
c) You can also be nice I guess, shrug and say "I just wanted to".

You DO NOT owe ANYONE an explanation. You can walk away at any moment from these people without engaging. If you dress out of the norm, people will react, so I usually get into that mindset.

It is not silly to practice for these type of situations, do it in front of a mirror!

>>10504534
This is incredibly helpful, thanks a ton anon!

When someone starts filming you, pull out your phone and pretend like you're doing the same to them. Every time I've done this they stop and walk away very quickly.

>>10504552
Whoops, this was a reply to
>>10504524

The next round of dearmylove contest winners went online.

>>10506553
That bib looks a bit odd to me, anyone else? Is it detachable?

>>10506678
It is.

>>10506553

Should have curved the bottom of the bib like the illustration, and maybe raised the waistline a little. it looks kind of awkward with the waistline underneath it like this.

The yearly DearMyLove Sanrio collab is out but no coats this year.
https://www.dreamvs.jp/shop/pages/dml_sanrio2020aw.aspx

>>10513513
I wish they'd done a second apron style. But I guess that would have meant more different things needing to be manufactured.

DML has their yearly winter sale going on.

>>10516778
Nice thank you anon!! That sweater is adorable

When it comes to buying J-fashion, do you guys prefer to buy new or secondhand? About 80% of what I own is secondhand. I've never had problems with getting things from Japanese owners. Thank goodness for Closet Child and fril.

>>10519925
Depends, I usually buy things when they are still available because there has been many instances where people mass-bought nice releases for scalped resale on Mercari. When I want generic items, I rather wait for clearance sales.

Latest Avail x Sanrio collab.

>>10520710
My melody looks almost ita here. The dress is fine but I'm tired of muted pinks and want more baby pinks.

>>10520713
fuck millennial pink with a rake. as a beige person, I'm so tired of muted earthy tones.

>>10520830
>millennial pink

I hate this shit, bring back the pastels

>>10520710
Does anyone have a link? I can't seem to find the web store

>>10520932
>Avail
>webstore
Pick one.

>>10519925
when i lived in japan, i always bought things new unless there was a particular older piece that i'm wanting, then i would just get it from mercari or fril. i will mostly buy bags secondhand, tho

>>10504524
I slapped people's phones out of their hands onto the crunchy concrete.

Not a lolita (ex-gyaru) but I bet a lolita doing that would absolutely stun them.

>>10523550

>>10519925
For jfashion that isn’t lolita, I buy mostly new. I like to support the brands directly and I like the feeling of a new item. I still buy some secondhand, like if it’s an older item or release I missed. I’d say 70% new 30% used. When I was younger, I bought used almost 100% of the time because I couldn’t afford to buy new. A new item was a huge treat and luxury.

Lolita is more like 50/50 simply because there’s so much good old shit I couldn’t afford before. Like other anon said, Japanese sellers tend to keep their items in extremely good condition, and when it isn’t it’s heavily discounted.

DML increased the sale further.

>>10523550
>i committed a crime and no one did anything about it cause i am edgy

>>10531266
I wish shipping to the US wasn't so awful or I'd be all over the new year clearances. What's everyone using to ship now, DHL?

>>10531280
You could ship it to an SS that’ll do sea mail. Only takes 2-3 months :)

>>10440167
That hairstyle is interesting. Never seen anyone take a section behind the bangs and twist it and clip it to the side.

Onespo is kill

>>10531532
not surprising desu

>>10531535
Why do you say that?

>>10531532
Wait what?

>>10531587
They announced their closure on all social media in december.
>>10531546
They already had issues for years with many releases not selling out for a while year.

>>10531266
Also new design contest:
https://www.dreamvs.jp/shop/pages/dml_campaign.aspx

>>10531600
This is so heartbreaking. They had some of the best styles and quality in 109 that hadn’t gone full classic/normie. I thought they’d be around next year for my trip to Japan but knowing they won’t hurts

I just got "Cable Knit Parker" from LL, and I've been wearing it non-stop. It's so soft and cozy. If anyone here is considering it, I recommend.

Can someone explain this baby trend seen in the newest issue of Larme? Japanese girls are going crazy over it in the insta comments and I don’t get it.

>>10531990
lmao literally dd/lg

>>10532125
Yeah I’m really confused. All the readers seem to absolutely love it, the post has a ton of ”kawaii” comments from girls lol

>>10531990
Looks like they're more into the girl herself than the aesthetic. Popular model or influencer of some sort?

>>10532209
It just baffles me how anyone could not be weirded out by the pacifier. Am I missing some kind of cultural context here I wonder.

>>10532257
I think that it's just that the pacifier is not as strongly associated with ageplay kink over there (compare with grown women wearing school uniforms). It's probably as weird to them as 20+ girls saying "I'm baby" are to us, if that makes sense. Strange way to try to look cute, but okay whatever.

Anyone recognize this by any chance? Been trying to look for this on Mercari, but I keep finding the same stock images
