Let's start another one of these. No fighting, just ugly dresses.

That's the point, anon. You can barely see the print until you look up close. It's like getting a two-fer non print and print in one.

Best parts of lolita are all the little details, not big designs you can see from the moon.

leepard is very popular in Japan. It boomed with gyaru which is when BTSSB and Meta both released leopard prints, and Meta saw success in Japan so they continued with it.
In general, Japanese lolitas are much more free with fashion than Western lolitas. They care less about perfect matching colors and like to mix and match more with other styles (hence why there are always new fashions popping up).

You can see the print a lot better in other colorwars. It looks fantastic in black imo, but in white it just looks like a normal dress I agree.

Also- magic whip or pretty whip or whip magic or whatever the hell it is. It's too bright and barbie-ish and I hate it with all of my being.

Prints aren't everything to everyone anon, I'm also with the earlier anon who liked the subtlety. Got the regular waist in Pink, so excited to figure out what to coord it with because the design is so soft.

I also never cared for Sugary Carnival, cheapest looking AP print to me, never saw the hype. Glad to finally have some classy ponies.

I feel bad for all the really babyish prints. I feel like a lot of lolitas are against them, and/or give an unknowing invite to ageplayers to wearing lolita.
However, hate to say this on cgl and the like, but I'm an ageplayer (among other shit) and into lolita fashion. I do not mix the two at all. I can't fathom ageplayers wearing the expensive brand in the bedroom.
I'm so sorry to all the comms who end up dealing with the weird out there sissys and ageplayers.

Didn't I answer this awhile ago? Lolita in the west suffers from all kinds of people trying to jump onto the lolita bandwagon because it's a sizeable ready-made audience, whereas in Japan the lolitas are split into small personal groups. So western lolias get unicorn plushies being posted on sew_lolita, crappy bands in kinderwhore posting their vids to egl, girls who don't wear lolita and label themselves "lolitas at heart" thinking the entire worldwide lolita comm will now become their friends, people purposely making inaccurate documentaries to try and get a boost in page visits from angry lolitas, and so on. It gets old after a while, so lolitas' reactions is to tell those idiots to stop posting non lolita stuff to egl. The fashion's definition got stricter and tighter as result, otherwise we just get so much crap coming through.

Personally I think even if western lolita was into mixing and matching, leopard prints still wouldn't take off. Outside of gyaru, I don't think even normalfags like animal prints, so it'd still flop anyway.
