/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm just going to post some solid old school finds I come across. Sorry I don't have any scans or anything else to contribute, just got excited about that OP

>>8571875
God damn i wish i could fit unshirred brand. Tits make it fucking impossible

>>8571898
This is from someone's recent photoshoot but i like it a lot.

>>8571903
You've probably already been recommended a binder huh?

>>8571914
mighty need for this blouse with crosses on the collar

>>8571903
I actually own this dress in black and im pretty busty (34c) and it fits me fine.

Does anyone miss aprons from the old school days? Or are they too maid-looking to be practical anymore?

>>8571962
Really? Well fuck i just might get it then. Would you be able to give me the bust and waist flat Measurments?

>>8571964
Im actually going to the fabric shop tomorrow to buy some supplies to make an apron in a similar style as baby's heart aprons

>>8571875

We can still get one more post in guys, don't give up on it already!

>>8571981
Happy?

>>8571974
I wish I could :( Its at home and im currently away for school. Ill be back during thanksgiving but that's really far from now...
Maybe theres a lolibrary page for it or something at least.

>>8572270
If you could share your own measurements and how tight or loose the dress feels on you it would help a lot!

>>8571918
Get a blouse and embroider some on, it's an easy shape!

Is it possible to mix old school with new in a nice way? I'm thinking of wearing a very old school headdress with a new printed dress, someone tell me it's a bad idea before I embarrass myself.

>>8577182
Personally I like headresses with tea length dresses

>>8577182
as long as you don't call it flat out oldschool and the laces must match (personally I'm not a fan of tulle lace mixed with cotton cluny, but embroidery cotton mixed with tulle lace can work)

>velveteen
>bustle-ish back
>under 6k yen

someone buy this please, it won't fit me and i am broke: http://www.maidenclothing.net/s/search/detail.php?id=154061421001

What is your favourite brand for old school legwear?
Where do you normally buy legwear from?

My favourite brand is Moi Meme Moitie and Innocent World for legwear.

I mainly buy the solid colour lace otks from IW, but have also had a pair from BTSSB.

I just recently bought this dress and was wondering if it could potentially be coordinated as old school?

>>8578422
yes it can. it's an odd color, but tartan is timeless and has been there in the oldschool days. maybe see if offwhite matches?

>>8578422
Ugh god that is fucking gorgeous, please post pics when you coord it.

>>8577232
also http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/73333

>>8577434
Got these in a few colours last year since they were the only brand that had lace topped otks in stock. They're crazy ruffly and different to other lace socks, they actually look like bloomers peeking out. Honestly I'd prefer the normal ones with a small bit of cotton lace but I was using up my meta points.

>>8578807
I bought these socks too and I love them to death!

>>8577434
I love Moitie's lace topped OTKs, the lace they use is absolutely gorgeous and my favorite of any brand.

>>8578807
I remember these socks, I had the under-knee version in black and white, hahah... they were crazy ruffly, and it floofed around really weirdly while walking. Thinking of them makes me so nostalgic, I used to wear them with a huge maxi-headdress and a black and white karami JSK!

>>8578807
I really want a pair of these, has anyone seen them around since then or know if they are currently in stock?

>>8579222
I bought two pairs of them recently. They're still in stock and seem to get restocked a fair bit too.

>>8578807
Thanks anon for giving info about them, I was curious on how they'd look worn.

>>8579049
I feel the same way anon, sadly they come up very rarely.

>>8579092
Oh anon that coord sounds wonderful. I assume you've been into lolita for quite awhile then

>>8580793
Thank you for providing us witht that info anon.

Here are some other oldschool legwear currently in stock:

>>8571964
>>8571978
I'm also about to make my own cute lolita apron, mostly so my clothes don't get dirty when I do chores around the house but secretly also because they make me so nostalgic. If it turns out good I might wear it to a picnic meet or something.

>>8571918
I think it's from a taobao shop. Seen it before when browsing taobao.

>>8578807
I have a pair in black and they are my go-to OTKs. I love them so much.

I became a lolita when it was too late for old school.
I've always want to try it, and now I saw this BL dress...I kinda like it
Feelings? (I'm not sure about it)

>>8581046
I've never liked the bottom part. I think it would work if the bottom would be replaced by just a strip of black and with lace around the hem

>>8581046
Nah, I'd leave it tbh. Much cuter old school stuff can be found secondhand for the same price any way.

>>8581046
It looks cheap. There are better old school dresses you can find for decent prices, so I wouldn't get it.

I found this interesting take on mixing old and new lolita.

Has anyone bought any old school pieces lately? Or are you planning on buying anything soon?

I bought my first tartan jsk! It's a red BTSSB jsk and I love it very much. I would like to buy more tartan pieces. I also bought a white peter pan collared BTSSB.

My next old school purchases will probably be a ringlet wig either bl or mable wigs, rhs and more legwear.

>>8581766
Ive been desperately wanting to buy more rhs but sadly BL sold out in most sizes and colors T_T

>>8581812
Antaina has RHS that come in a lot of colors and sizes. They'll do custom sizing, too.

>>8581766
I got Angelic Garden jsk from AP recently. It's the black and white colorway. I haven't worn it out yet though because I'm looking for the perfect hair piece and the perfect OTKs i have some black lace topped OTKs but i think white(with black rhs) would look best.

>>8581812
Still can't bloody walk in em, all the streets here are bumpy and I have weak ankles. If anybody wants some nicked dark brown/ black ones in 25.5 for free hit me up
Fuck giant bodyline rhs
Also trying to sell white ones cheap but nobody wants to pay shipping and I'm pretty sure a girl lied about vet bills to bail last time...

>>8581981
Size/price/pics? Where are you shipoing from? I may be interested.

>>8582003
NSW Australia, black/ brown ones are free or $3 or something since I fell the first time I wore them and scuffed them, but its not that bad. I'll take pics in a sec. They're the mary jane/ criss cross strap style. White ones are brand new never worn $23 but I could do less.
Shipping is shit loads, like $36+ to America so most people wouldn't be interested.

>>8582007
They run small by the way, the 25.5 is a bit like an 8-9. They're a smidge big on my narrow 39's.

>>8582009
Are you sure you have your sizes right?
I'm 25.5 and I wear size9.5-10/41

>>8582007
can you post a pic of the damage on the balck pair? im interested, cheap shoes are never a bad thing. Melbournian btw so shipping shouldn't be too bad either.

>>8582245
Oh god, what is english? Sorry.

I'd like to see somebody pulling this green off.
http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k184987979

>>8582140
Dif anon but bodyline runs small. I can confirm my 25.5 rhs from there are quite small on me, and im a 24.5

>>8582960
You think? I always get the 25.5's, granted I've only ever bought the TP's and the chunky heeled ones with the bows on them

>>8582960
Are your really feet wide? At normally 24.5-25 in bodyline shoes, both pairs of rhs are too big on me.
>>8583737
Their tea parties run large as do their chunky shoes, I'm 24.5 in them. Shoes300 (pic related) are TTS and I'm 25 with a bit of room.

>>8583753
Nah i have pretty narrow feet

>>8583761
Odd, I needed insoles and thick socks, but I thought 25 would have been to small. It might be a small heel thing

bumping with a pretty old-school halloween op, and the first Baby dress I ever saw. My younger mallgoth self was all over this shit til I saw the pricetag.

>>8586291
Oh Jesus i remember that shit. That was pretty ita even back in the day

I just need to know more about this set; I found the picture when searching for good ero the other day and I've been obsessed with the look since.

>>8586383
How the fuck is she going to walk? It looks like she can't put one foot more than like 2 inches in front of the other.

>>8586554
looks like she aint

>>8586554
It's still really cool for photos; I'd take those pieces any day and just wear a shorter cage skirt with them.

>>8582245
Sorry, I kept forgetting to take pics
They're dark brown polished black. Well really more of a dark dark brown now but nobody could really tell against black. Damage isn't that noticeable worn but is enough for me not to bother selling and just unload for free.They're comfy other than me clumsy. I'll clean them up before ship, it was rainy when I wore them.
Excuse the gross nail polish, I need to remove it.
Take them free. You can have the perfect condition white ones for $10 if you want.

>>8586554
She just slowly inches forward...

>>8587395
I'd be interested if not for the US shipping price. The damage looks like it would be easy to cover up.

>>8587453
Yeah it's probably like $36 to the USA if I sent it in a box. It's shit.
I can probably get it between $12-16 to Melbourne by the way. Nobody I know is really into oldschool/ would fit the size.

>>8587511
Actually maybe 15.25 AUD

>>8587395
thanks, I may as well take the both of them then, email attached.

I held onto this. Do you guys think these shoes work with oldschool? I mean at any rate they're better than tea parties or something, but I had a surprisingly hard time finding plain white mary janes in stock. RHS would be ideal but obviously I cannot handle those. I felt the faux wooden soles on these somewhat evoked them and balanced my hair, but maybe I'm overthinking it. Having no shoes was the reason I never wore the dress.

>>8588085

>>8588088
I'm bored, sorry.

>>8588090

>>8588092

>>8588095

>>8588096
My computer was a mess so I deleted most things, this is just some stuff that's left. Hence it's not very cohesive.

good night

>>8587955
shoes are ok but in my opinion, have pretty much 0 oldschool factor. I think you might be better off with something like pic related. They're actually pretty decent in person.

>>8588225
Oh I'm still up.
Yeah those would be great, I was just avoiding bodyline after the price hike plus I'm not sure how I'd do in platforms either (I even trip in flat school shoe mary janes, for reference), but I agree they would be way better. Thanks, maybe I will give some a go some time if they're cheap. I actually wanted a pair of the plain platform mary janes when they were $15 but now they're like $70 lol

>>8588085
Fuck i should just sew myself a dress and add a bunch of cross Appliques to the bottom

For the love of god someone please pick up the 'sweet cookies alice' jsk in black currently on Y! for 1000yen with only 2 hours left.

I've found even more if anyone is interested.

>>8591743
>>8591715
Hey, anon, please post links instead of auction IDs. It makes it way easier to visit the page.

>>8591747
all you need to do is paste the ID into google in inverted commas and it will come up. 4chan thinks straight links are spam most of the time anyway. Anons are trying to be helpful man, not spoon-feed because something will take up 10 seconds of your time as opposed to say, 3.

I managed to look up all that shit easily enough. Admittedly it helps when you can post pictures, since you can see if it's something you're interested in, but there's usually that option anyway.

>>8591841
Not that anon, but I don't see how posting the links normally is spoonfeeding. 4chan has never filtered auction links on me, and it's just as simple, if not more so, for the poster to post links as it is the number/id.

>>8591743
I've been looking for some old iw if youve seen any. I missed out on a really cute floral iw jsk and bonnet "made out of the same material as my grandma's couch" as my fiance put it, but it was glorious and cheap and i lost it.

Is there any way to find out a name of a particular old school dress? I often see them for sales on Y!J but no idea about their measurements.

Are there even any old school pieces that would fit 100cm bust?

>>8591866
Check the shirred and fully shirred sections on lolibrary, there's quite a few items that will fit!

>>8591743
Yes please post all the things

>>8592528
There's a cute red meta velvet op up: http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w125234605

>>8592535
damn, I was hoping to keep this to myself. when it comes to glorious bargains, my social conscience don' stretch that far.

I do provide links when i'm broke though, so I'm not quite a monster.

>>8591866
1. Open lolibrary
2. Look for the dress by narrowing down brand, type, color, etc.

This is on Lacemarket, hnng

I'm surprised that with all the old school love the past couple years, Moitie hasn't made a comeback.

>>8592610
>see thumbnail
Fuck that is hideous
>click
Get on my body

>>8592561
Haha, I figured someone would eventually not be happy seeing their secret finds posted here. I have no intention on buying this so good luck to whoever does!

>>8592610
I already have the underbust in this color and the medium length skirt in the blue floral so that's probly good enough for me, it's such a pretty print.

>>8592619
same, anon.
>mfw The Gobelin Experience©

apparently Meta has delayed the rerelease of pic related, pray for my wallet

The only thing that bothers me about meta's gobelins series is how cheap the materials are, straight up. When I bought it I didn't realize it was a print of gobelin, on cotton, I was expecting actual tapestry fabric. The lace is pretty thin too, it looks gorgeous from far away but I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

It's really the one thing that bothers me about lolita in general, there's a lot of dresses that look gorgeous on photo, but close up the quality just isn't there with a price that just doesn't justify it.

>>8594256
I own >>8592610 in a different color and the fabric is textured, not just printed though so it's still nice. Do you have one of the newer ones?

>>8594263
I own two pieces, a skirt and jsk and didn't notice any, what kind does yours have, like a jacquard?

>>8594256
There's some awesome real gobelin from JetJ and MM if you look

God-tier Meta platforms on Alice+Fururun in size small.

Would this work?

Imgur anon here, I'm working on putting all of my accumulated images onto tumblr, http://oldschoollolita.tumblr.com/

It's currently mostly reblogs of newer oldschool-style coords while I set up my queue. I've also made a tagging system so it's easier to look for certain features of a coord. I plan on reblogging new oldschool style coords, as long as I feel like theyre good and oldschool enough.

I'm also wondering whether it's worth me using a trip at this point, since I keep popping up to share vaguely related things.

>>8596306
>fuck these would fit my babby feet

I really love this tumblr, also cool GLB scans i never saw.
>http://oldschool-lolita.tumblr.com/
Here these scans, probably from 2000/2001?I love the art and the dark cute vibe.

I'm a dumbass, the old school tumblr homepage was already posted by someone else.

I keep finding cute stuff and old dream dresses. Kinda wish I hadn't just left the style

bruh

>>8581156
I am such a fan of mixing old and new school honestly. I would love to see a revival of old school mixed with more new elements. (As well as just a revival of old school in general.)

I found a 2002 victorian maiden nun dress for pretty cheap but I was just under the max waist earlier this year before I gained weight (like 8kg fuck) and I don't know about now. Bust is probably ok.
>should I do it
>should I do it

>>8601573
It's mallory mini OP, missing the neck tie I assume. I identified it myself so I could find the measurements.
Measurements are 88-68
Might just post it here if you're interested, it's been up for a while.

>>8599612
I wished I could find the 2010 version of this.
Love this dress so much but the old version is rather small even with it's shirring and the 2010 version is a little more generous in the bust.
