Has anyone ever been asked to make a nonrefundable deposit for a hold/payment plan through friends and family? The seller has good feedback but it still seems shady as fuck. I’ve bought dresses on payment plans before and no one has ever tried to get me to use friends and family for the deposit.

It's not shady as fuck. People who pay with layaway are disproportionately shitty buyers (no offense). If I'm going to have to put aside a dress for a couple of weeks or more while the buyer tries to get the money together, I will absolutely be doing a nonrefundable deposit. That's the you're making my life difficult tax.

[Anonymous No.10363593]

>>10363543
Ask your seller for a normal invoice, you don't have to pay them with family and friends, this is actually against PayPal regulations. I understand those sellers, I had my fair share of flakes and that is the reason I no longer offer layaways, holds or payment plans. It's such a waste of time for sellers when people don't hold up their end of the bargain iyswim? Anyways, family and friends is prone to scams, for both sides. I remember when someone in the lolita community flagged all her payments as fraudulent with her credit card company and they did chargebacks. Many sellers got scammed by Maikodolly.

On a slightly related note, I once had a potential buyer that wanted a 8 month payment plan for a jsk that was only 160 euro's. She was kinda upset when I said no, that is way too long. What are people like that even doing in this fashion ffs?

[Anonymous No.10363618]

>>10363593
The reason people ask a friend payment for the nonrefundable deposit, is because that is the only way you can make it no refundable. If the buyer decided to cancel the payment plan, they can open a dispute and get their money back, which would make it extra sour for the seller who has lost money and still hasn’t sold the dress. It is illegal and PayPal had a good system for Payment plans, but I can understand why they do Friends&Family payment for the first. But I agree with you it is also why I don’t do Payment plans. Just save up for the item and if it is still for sale by then buy it.
Tbh most of the time people ask for a Payment plan is not because they do not have the financial resources, it is because they want to buy multiple things at the same time. And the reason they ghost is because they saw something new and are now spending their money on that new item. People who have actual financial problems always tend to contact you and explain the situation. I am completely pro making those first types of buyers do nonrefundable deposits, they have to learn that they can’t just buy without thinking and have to learn to manage their money/urges.

Innocent World will release mask making kits using IW fabric next week. There is a lot of positive reaction to it on Twitter.

[Anonymous No.10364413]

I haven’t worn lolita in years. I’m in quarantine now and so I was trying on some of the pieces I bought but never wore. And, I hate them. I hate them a lot. I was just wearing a blouse and a jsk, and I couldn’t even leave my room while wearing it. I never want to look like that again, and I’d cry if anyone saw me that way. I felt like an impostor, and washed out and shitty.
If I can’t even bear to look at myself in some clothes, even if it was my dream dress, is that a sign I should sell it?
I’ve been contemplating leaving the fashion for a long time, but I didn’t because I went through my closet and found so many pieces I couldn’t bear to part with. so there was no point leaving because I’d be holding on to most of the clothes anyway.
And now I don’t know what to do because wearing my dream dress makes me hate myself and feel like a clown, but it’s still pretty and I want to keep it. I still like some of the pieces, but they’re only linked to lolita because they are “burando” and really are more otome normie kinda clothes.
I was advised to konmari my closet a few months back, and did so. I only sold a few pieces. But now I have realised that the clothes are only bringing me minimal joy to look at and reminisce over, but they suck out all of my joy if I put them on.
What would you do, anons? Is there even any point trying to sell clothes at the moment? I’m thinking I should harshly try on and konmari all of my clothes, and then put the items I don’t like to the side until the market comes back up. Then I could reevaluate.

[Anonymous No.10364420]

>>10364413
anon do you have some self image issues? if so i strongly suggest seeking professional help.. otherwise, since you said your clothes only bring you minimal joy, i would konmari a bit more, maybe you can hold on to a few pieces that you want. ive been cleaning a lot lately since quarantining and it’s been helping my mental state quite a bit.

[Anonymous No.10364459]

>>10364413
If you still like the pieces and you don't need the money, keep them. I still have my favorite dress even though I haven't worn lolita in years. I still like the fashion and think it's cute, I just don't wear it.

The government made the rules, not me. And so by their definition, I do deserve a check. We live in one of the highest cost of living states in America. If we didn't have over $150k combined we wouldn't even be able to live here.

Again - please go cry to the billionaires who hoard their wealth and have powers of money beyond what we have.

This. Just read a news article about the CDC in ten days announcing that Americans should wear masks in daily life for the foreseeable future. Of course it's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. The cloth ones by IW are washable, eco friendly, and cute.

And while we're getting righteous about the corona virus, there's a thousands of non-famous individuals and organizations with 3-D printers making valves for respirators and face shields for nurses and doctors, there's a bunch of businesses large and small, like Tesla for example, who at least make a token effort to produce more respirators and disinfectant and what not, even if it's only because it's good for PR. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos, richest man in the world, richest man in history, richest man in the entire fucking universe, is asking his customers to "support" the workers he abuses and underpays. If you're going to be angry at someone, leave people who want to buy a new dress alone and let Bezos know he is the lowest dickwad the world has ever known.

they're an effective barrier against actual liquid/vapour splashing/spraying into your mouth and they help you stop touching your face as much, aside from that their use is limited to very short term (e.g. a quick consult) or to protect others from you by catching your own splatters

Its because the websites people use change over time so there isnt a one central place. As well the capabilities of the sites use limit such tagging. Daily lolita on lj used to have tags for users then changed to tags for searching to try to catalogue better, and there was a limit of the number of tags you can have. Fb doesnt do tagging, so your best bet is that they list it in their description. Tumblr and ig have tagging but no central way to do it beyond the general stuff.

The idea of keeping track of stuff on the internet started probably mid to late 2000s, and so capping wasnt really a thing people did a lot of until about 5 ish years ago. There is a lot lost to the fact it wasnt mainstream until relatively recently.

I think I'm in a similar position.
For me I love the details and fabrics, it's enough to make me keep them. But I have tried to wear it a few times and felt the same way as you.
I feel really foolish and insecure in a full coord.
That being said I didn't want to be irrational and sell everything knowing how much sentimentality I feel. I knew I wanted to keep majority of what I have, so I've only sold off a few pieces that really weren't my style.
It took a while to think it over but now I've come to the decision that eventually I do want to wear them.
So my plan is to start with wearing one item in with my usual wardrobe. It won't make it lolita but that doesn't bother me, if anything I feel less insecure, I want to feel comfortable wearing my clothes because...they are my clothes.
I figure if I continue slowly getting used to some pieces, and trying out different styling, then it's besides the point if I end up looking like a lolita or not. I want to enjoy these pieces in a way that isn't them just languishing in a wardrobe.

Take some more time to really think it through. If you don't have any need to sell, then guilt or feeling like you're an imposter isn't a good enough reason imo. They're your clothes :)

Would love to one day pull off something like Nana Kitade's style

Defects: a hole on the lower skirt below the lowest lace tier, a faded yellow stain on left hand ribbon, a yellow stain on right hand ribbon and on the lace of right hand ribbon, four dots of holes on the back lower skirt and a yellow stain on the same area. All of these defects are not really visible in the wearing. The dress itself, as you can see, is still in beautiful condition. Despite her age, she does not seem to be showing feeling of wear.

Nayrt, schools closed a couple of weeks, but most still allowed students to come to school for day care services, graduation ceremonies and entrance ceremonies, and school clubs. Some preschools remained open too. Social distancing is not a thing, but we're told to open windows sometimes and wear a mask. Most people in my office don't do this.

April is the when new-hires start so everyone is having goodbye parties, moving around the country, attending giant orientations, etc.

The government can't penalize anyone for going out or make companies close. So everyone is still commuting and working. You can only get tested if you have had a high fever for four days and difficulty breathing, and you're over 40. A lot of regions just don't have enough tests. The ambivalence sucks.

/cgl/'s opinion does matter though. there are people who camp dream dress threads and jack up the prices of things that people post.

Soon after I posted the dress, it popped up for sale on LM for $400. there's no way that's just a coincidence.

It’s not that common, especially in the red colorway. Maybe you missed the original hype around this dress. It was extremely popular within Japan and sold out within hours two or three days in a row as the shop received more stock (its release was limited to one shop), and then there was just no more stock. The red consistently sold out faster than the blue. Later it was released on the online store only for international customers in limited numbers (there it also sold out in a few days) so it may be more common to see for sale in the international community rather than within japan. It’s probably not worth $200 but I’m not surprised to see people trying to get top dollar for it regardless if someone posted in the DD thread or not.

do you think artists must make their paints and canvases too? if that's your own weird personal opinion on the matter, whatever. you're entitled to have that bizarre definition. but if you're suggesting that's how our society actually categorizes fashion then you're plain wrong.

fashion is not just individual pieces of clothing. it's hair, makeup, accessories, and a full outfit to show a completed style. that's why those aspects are so important on the runway. fashion magazines like vogue are not for handsewing your own clothing. people we describe as "fashionable" are not just all designers and seamstresses.

I was around when it happened and it was a bit scammy because it was one of the highest tiers and people had lists of their likes and dislikes and puvi seemingly ignored it and got maybe one thing or two the person liked and the rest their own brand--essentially not even putting any money in directly and reusing merchandise that cost her nothing and probably sold poorly even within her own fanbase assuming it really was leftover stock.

Even if someone was into menhera or yamikawaii puvithel is jut low quality/not stylish art wise. Puvi's stuff is kawaiigoods tier or even below. And it just feel scummy to use "free" stuff from your own shop for a high gift tier unless you know someone really likes and would want your item.

Do you realize how stupid this comparison is ? An artist making their own paint and canvases would be equivalent to a fashion designer making their own fabric, not to someone putting on clothes. Don't tell people they have "weird personal opinions" when you need to use fallacies to justify yours.

so DJs aren't artists if they remix existing songs? i'll say it again for the second time (since you chose to ignore it last time) -- fashion is not just clothes being created. it's hugely about clothes being worn.

putting together a coord isn't making the clothing, but it is absolutely contributing your artistic expression to how other people will perceive it. just as a DJ would add his artistic expression to an existing song.

nayrt but i could consider putting together an outfit to be artistic expression rather than art in itself. creating art and artistic expression aren't the same things to me. i do visual art, but i still consider things like tacking the stuff i like to my bulletin board or putting stickers all over my pc to count as artistic expression. it doesn't imply creation, just that it's letting part of your "you" come out in a visible way. that said, i also think there are plenty of examples of putting together an outfit that aren't any type of art and aren't trying to be.

Considering that even my SS couldn't get some stuff for me because of the phone reservation (it was just some accessories)... You're out of luck. Just remember what happened to Ice Cream Parlor, anon. I bit the bullet and did the Paris reservation, besides I'm very worried about how customs will handle this in my country. If I'm unlucky, I would end up paying custom fees and sales tax which would honestly be above Paris retail. In the worst case it would get lost and I'm not willing to risk this. Didn't go for the whole set cause I'm not a fan of ankle socks, but Paris was nice enough to reserve some of the accessories I originally wanted (even though they weren't listed at all). Also don't wait too long cause they will prioritize those who paid first.
