I got a pair of these and I want to coord them with a purple taobao dress I preordered in my city's harajuku fashion walk if coronavirus calms down by then.

This is the dress I ordered, considering the price I'm fairly certain it won't look too amazing but it should be fine for casual or marrying it with another style. (https://www.devilinspired.com/plus-size/unicorn-planet-jsk-and-op-by-puff-candy.html))

that sounds disingenuous since it's completely compatible with that logic. the fact that you're physically capable of having endo means your body literally was built to do all of that and isn't doing it normally due to a medical condition. a transwoman can't have endo and you know exactly why; there would be no need for transition if it weren't the case.

Kind of, specific socks are made over and over like Baby and AP's lace top OTKs. You should not have to pay much unless they're like new.

Noob from another board here, asking as research for a story set in the 1990s. Complete idiot question: how does (did?) a typical serafuku school-uniform work, anyway?
I know that the neckerchief is a separate part, but does the fuku top have a square neckline underneath, or does it have collars? Does it have a button-front, or is it a one-piece?
Does the uniform include a top beneath the fuku, like an undershirt/t-shirt, or is it straight to underwear?

All answers appreciated, thank you!

Illegal. What are the chances the Japanese publishers gave the okay to some nobodies hosted on etsy?

What you'd notice is they don't state they're selling patterns, they say they're selling "tracing services".

>> No.10373551

>>10373540
I've always thought it was rude and annoying to do this unless the seller was obviously scalping an item they bought for less from someone else. Sellers aren't obligated to price match the cheapest listing that item's ever been part of on LM. I wouldn't ask them to change their price unless they clearly state they accept offers in their ToS. I know if I had someone complaining about my prices I wouldn't be inclined to change it just because they said so.
If it's that overpriced, chances are it won't be sold and they'll be forced to discount it at some point anyway.

>> No.10373553

>>10373551

Yeah I don't wanna be rude but it's not just the cheapest price; the only two LM listings I found of the same item in other more desirable colorways sold for around $50 while this item is being sold for over $100 (it's a lucky pack item, not a print or anything, and the seller is unaware of the name or anything since it doesn't really have one so I assume either bought it for more or arbitrarily priced it higher because they want the money?)

Idk I'm not gonna post anything or ask directly.

>> No.10373556

I'm like 90% sure it wasn't a special set so probably blind bag.

So I’m kinda a borderline fatty chan, 160lb at 5’4”, and the thing is I carry almost all of my weight in my boobs and butt. I’ve got a little pudge and some upper arm fat, but not enough to keep me out of j-fash, the main issue is my massive boobloaf. I find it nearly impossible to fit into brand around the chest area, everything else either fits or I can stuff it in and be only mildly uncomfortable. I was wondering if perhaps chest binders might help? I’m 38dd and they’re natural, so I can smush them down a good bit. I’ve tried tight sports bras with varying degrees of success.

Starting to think this is a dude. 38DD is not that big, and it also doesn't match any of the other measurements you've given.

Once stores reopen, find a specialty bra shop and get yourself properly fitted. I had the same fitting problem as you anon, and Victoria's Secret will shove you into whatever fits, even if it's wrong. 38DD is probably not even the right "sister size" for your true bra size. The bras at specialty shops are much better in terms of quality, but they will be much more expensive and not as cute as what you'll find in VS. It's worth it though, and you might find that your bust size will be a bit smaller, because your boobs won't be squished together anymore.

Thanks anon, I’ll definitely try that out once this blows over. It’s worth it to me to spend a little extra on something well made that gives me decent support.

Functionality definitely trumps cuteness here, and hopefully I can get sent in a good direction for a shaping bra for when I’m in Lolita.

To add on to what anon is saying, if you are in the states, a commonly available store that carries a wide range of sizes is Nordstrom. The bras cost an arm and a leg, but at least you can verify your results from the abrathatfits site. Then, you can try finding the same size elsewhere cheaper. Personally, I ponied up the $ for one from Nordstrom until I slimmed down enough to fit the most borderline size at VS and got some on sale.

>> No.10377018

>>10376994
Also forgot to mention different bra styles will influence the fit, so make sure to try on a couple different ones in different sizes, they'll likely recommend that anyways. Like, I can't wear balconettes, they look and feel weird on me.

Also, my wardrobe is mostly skirts as main pieces, I'd suggest you'd look into skirt cuts of dresses you like. I was nervous when I started out about my chest fitting and skirts eliminated much of the issues I've would've had otherwise. I have a small waist, and while my bust size did go down after getting a proper bra, the difference still causes an awkward fit at times, even if I have room to spare in the jsk and actually use the waist ties. Certain jsk cuts are absolutely awful for that, I try to stay away from tube shapes unless they have shirring, corset lacing, and waist ties. I also find sports bras give me an automatic boob loaf, but density might impact that.
I know that not everyone likes skirt cuts though, but they deserve more consideration. I hope you find a good fit anon!

>>10376988
Bra sizing works exactly how I know it does. I know about "sister sizing," but you shouldn't be buying bras that aren't properly fitted around the band because that's where like 90% of the support comes from. If your band is too loose, it isn't going to give you the support you need, regardless of cup volume.

it's less about individual elements and more about creating the correct silhouette and having sufficient quality and detail. a coord can be pretty sparse on accessories and still be successful. as long as you're thinking of a coord as individual pieces rather than creating a balanced complete look, you're gonna have a bad time.

Your stomach seeming mostly flat with clothes on in a photo is very different than being not overweight.

She has a curvy figure but is definitely a bit chubby and you CAN lose boobs and butt and other fat or inches in those areas by slowly eating better/less calories and exercising more.

Compare the photos again. Noticed something? Like maybe the fact they have completely diiferent figures? This person is a rectangle, she would have to be anorexic for her waist be accentuated, anon in question on the other hand looks like an hourglass, her waist is supposed to be small.

additional stupid japonica question
What do I do with their "part 2" email update? Is it just a confirmation that they successfully bought it? Do I have to do/say anything to them at that point?

Anon who posted doesn't have an hourglass figure. She has average sized hips. They just look wider because she's sitting.

Yeah, it should just be an e-mail telling you what your current order looks like. You don't need to reply to it unless they specifically ask you to.

where tf do I find secondhand fancy surprise clothes? I always seem to miss their stock updates since I work 12 hour days. But I can't seem to find absolutely any secondhand clothes on the eastern or western market like Fril, mercari, etc. Am I just not looking in the right places or is it really rare to find secondhand fancy surprise?

Who do you guys use for a Japan-based shopping service?
I just used Buyee, but I would like to keep my options open because they won't bid on items if seller has a bad ratio.
For some reason, CC is one of them.
I know you can buy from them directly. That was just an example.
Thanks in advance.

I sold something on LM a little while ago and the buyer and I agreed on a payment plan. Unfortunately my country has decided to raise shipping prices due to covid and I was wondering if it's rude to ask the buyer to pay the difference? I normally eat up the difference if I make a mistake when charging a buyer too little but in this case it's not really my fault. What would you do in this situation?

What are you talking about? She posted a spandex tier shirt in the dark and you assume that her stomach is flat? Unless you're over a 100 kg most female bodies look ok with clothes. She is still fat however.

TIL breasts are made up of milk.

Anachans are annoying but coping fatasses are worse. Not a single skinny person in the world has big boobs. Just boobs "big for a skinny girl".

not taking a stance on these anons because i don't give a shit, but aside from fat, breasts do actually contain specialized glandular tissue (for milk production) and some women have quite a lot of it leading to naturally large breasts even when skinny

And not to mention that everyone's fat distribution is not the same. I gain weight in my chest, stomach, and ass, but almost never in my arms or legs.

it's not rude, it is what you are owed.

but it's not really the buyers fault either? Maybe contact the buyer and offer to split the difference? I dunno.

I wouldn't ask her for more money. You both agreed on a price. It sucks that the cost went up, but the price has already been decided.

where to find blouses for my fatty arms? I know cutsews are a good option and I have a few but finding ones that have a blouse-like collar is pretty limited. Would it be retarded to wear a cardigan underneath a jsk? if anyone knows good sweet style blouse options for fat arms help a gal out

Thank you for your thoughts on this. I agree with all of you, it's what she owes but it's also not her fault. So I decided to do the right thing and pay for the extra shipping myself. She's also been really friendly and paid when she promised so I feel ok about it.

Just get ones that have elastic instead of a fixed sleeve opening?

Anyone got the taobao link to these cutsews? I find it hard to believe they're "brand quality" and also want to know if the listing has the measurements since they only mentioned they're 50cm flat measured and "stretchy"

I am also sure they cost far less than $70 each even with the cost of SS.

The good news is that this is a once in a lifetime sort of thing with this kind of pandemic, so while you might be out a little money here, it's not like this would likely happen again during sales.
