I'll likely never even fit into my dream dress. I'm working out strictly & watching my diet like a hawk but, being tall and large framed (and not big-boned like fatties use as an excuse, but big boned as in wide shoulders/big ribcage/large feet ETC) Angelic Pretty is just... probably not happening unless it has a lot of shirring.

And this JSK does not have a lot of shirring -.-;

I'm in a similar situation. I just got down to just under the max measurement of one of my dream dresses (and found it up for sale with the tags, practically new for cheap considering what it's been going for on the comm sales). I've got wide shoulders, a wide ribcage. Everything is pulled up because of my boobs. I prefer Jsks over OPs because of my shoulders. I'm just thankful I was able to fit into it when it arrived and it's not overstretched. Just a little bit snug on my underbust but not uncomfortable. I wouldn't have been able to get into it 2 months ago.

I'd suggest sticking with heels, especially more elegant/stylish ones. Cutesy flat shoes (like tea parties) look really clownish on big feet.

Even though I am a relative lolita noob, just really getting into it, I know better than to even touch a flat shoe with a really long stick. They make me look stubby.

I would consider JetJ's sizing to be pretty generous compared to other classic brands, but if you can fit ino Size 1, you're not a fatty-chan.

I've wondered the same exact thing.

>> No.6402768

>>6402722
Not sure what you mean. I own several JetJ size 1 dresses that fit very well, but I believe I may have a slight form of BDD so I was curious from an outsiders perspective, how the sizing of the brand relates to other brands. As for comparing measurements between brands, the numbers always are slightly off due to shirring/design/just bad measurements, so I wanted a visual comparison from a stranger based on their take on different brand sizes/how girls look in normal brand sizes. Maybe this doesn't make sense... but when I look in the mirror, I see a fat blob and I focus on all these little parts of my body with some kind of hyper sensitivity. So I was thinking maybe JetJ was a larger brand in terms of sizing due to how I view myself. I hope this makes sense.

Jet J size one is in line with the other classic brands (MM and VM) it is much smaller than IW and is smaller than AP and Baby.
Size 2 is more in line with those brands.

If you are in size 1 you are probably pretty small.

standard unshirred emikyu is one size anyway, 33 inch bust and 28 waist. Half shirred may get you 6 inches extra, full shirred a bit more than that. Availability is unknown but if you contact a ss within the week of the update you should be ok unless it's a super popular print.

...wait what? Jet-J size 1 is their small size. It's a Japanese small... Most brands either put out multiple sizes, or make their things Japanese size medium.

VM:
90cm/73cm

IW:
S: 91cm/68cm

I got these white used SS tea parties for like $5 when I bought a dress from a girl at a convention awhile back. They're sitting there gathering dust. I cleaned the scuffs off them and other than a few general signs of wear they're fine. I never wear them because they're white.

It's not really a Japanese size small, lolita brands run pretty large as far as sizing is concerned imo - if you look at the Gosurori sizing, JetJ's size 1 (and most brand sizing) is more like a Japanese L-LL size.

Too lazy to look for the sales comm complaining thread if there is one, but I'm so tired of people who ask about commissions, then string me along for 5 days only to go "Okay, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!" and disappear.
When people ask if I can do such-and-such in this color and this fabric and how much is it, I actually spend time looking up materials for them and figuring out costs. If they warned me ahead of time that they're only browsing it would save me a lot of trouble.
