Hey gulls. I need some advice for my planned Halloween coord. I have a black JSK with fur trim that I'd love to do an elegant classic black cat themed coord with, and I have most of my accessories worked out, but I wanted to find an elegant way to do a hat with cat ears. I wanted something with a wide witch-like brim but without the ears being too furry cat ear clips-looking. Something along the lines of those felt bowlers with the cat ears molded into them mixed with the shape of VM's hats, but I can't decide if I should just go with one of those bowler hats, or if I should try to modify my own from a hat I own already. I can do handmaking, but most of the ears I've made before were for costumes and I'm worried about the end result being too cartoony from the bulkiness of faux fur.

Anyone have any ideas as to making more elegant/slim ears to attach to an existing hat, or has maybe seen a hat that would work well for this?

Pic related, the bowler hats I'm thinking of. Most of the alternate versions of these I can find are too casual, either berets or baseball caps.

I'm saying I hate the "regal" OTT looks, too. I think OTT sweet was a bit tacky, but at least it wasn't actually all that costumey like stuff like >>8618148 is. While old OTT sweet lolitas might have had a lot of jewelry, big colorful wigs, and sometimes like deco'd glasses, they never were running around with actual-size rocking horses, lollipops as tall as them, etc. The props and overly-elaborate headwear is what ruins modern OTT looks for me.

I think the ott hate is just as ridiculous as spraypainted skewer crowns. A lot of girls wear normal coords all the time, so for events, maybe they want to go all out. Why is that a problem?
Maybe it looks "costumey," but all lolita that isn't VM with no petti looks costumey. But it's an alt fashion, so why would it not?
The designers of lolita brands always look ott af, and they have a big part in the look of the fashion.

I think a lot of the backlash comes from the way it's changed people's perceptions of what makes a coord, too. Nowadays, if you're not wearing a lot of accessories or fairly dressed up, a lot of people perceive it as "casual" when for many (especially older) lolitas, that's just a normal, perhaps even slightly dressy coord.

Lol that ranges soooo much, depending on brand, budget, etc.

If you're not making your entire coord by hand, I'd say a cheaper coord would run $100-400, then it goes up from there. You could still make something for under $100, you'd just have to be careful.

If it's your first coord (I'm assuming since you're buying a petticoat) you'll be spending more because you need the basics, but as your wardrobe grows you reuse items like blouses and shoes so you won't need to spend as much.

Bracing myself for this. Personally I don't think something so costumey is appropriate for Rufflecon. It was one thing at the OTTea, and even then I think people really pushed it past the bounds of the fashion into something else.

I'm planning on a really simple witch outfit for my first Halloween coord. Mainly want black with red accents-- may also go into vampire-esque territory. Debating between red or black shoes, making something similar to the hat (black witch hat, red roses, some organza, a skull/bat), and I have a red bow from another dress to clasp onto the belt of the OP to maybe tie it all together.

Not sure what to do for legwear or accessories, though. Maybe some meh-tier OTT costume jewelry from ebay (like the ones in the collage), since it'll mainly just be for halloween. Any thoughts?

Also, I might have a black shawl or cardigan depending on how cold it is outside.

And Romeo is a Japanese brand, quite small. I can't remember if their shop was on Yahoo!Japan or on Rakuten.

I think there's a question on egl from like, 2011 or something. Some egl-ers said the photos looked really good, and expected burando-tier quality rather than taobao-tier (at that time taobao wasn't all that great, they were still mostly known for churning out replicas). Unfortunately not many people actually owned any And Romeo stuff to be able to comment on what the quality is really like though, so I can't advise if it's good to buy.

But she was making fun of how ridiculous the Sweet Rebel trailor is. 'I do this, that or the other to feel beautiful on the outside because my illness makes me feel ugly on the inside/divorced from my own body' is the most pretentious (and ubiquitous) chronic illness cliche around, and one beloved by special snowflakes. It's a cliche that Kate holds onto pretty damn tightly in order to justify her attention seeking and self aggrandising behavior as some deep and meaningful triumph over adversity.

It's a tactic that's really tacky, and Kate's use of it is pretty transparent. Carly did a good job satirising it: that you reacted this way demonstrates that Kate's fragile snowflake bullshit is still working to a degree.

Sorry, anon, you'll have to do your own legwork, but I'll tell you what I know off the top of my head.

Angelic Pretty did a re-release of Katrina (OP and jsk), so yes, there's actually two releases. Whether they kept the same lace or not, you can check it out at lolibrary.org, they do have the two releases listed seperately and with different stock photos. (The site is lagging for me at the moment, so I didn't check the neckline closeups).

There *is* also a taobao lookalike that was made shortly after that, but I've forgotten both the dress and the shop name. You might be able to find it if you go through lolibrary's listings for onepieces from taobao released in 2015. Or hopefully someone on here can remember which taobao shop it was.

Why pretentious if it holds a lot of truth for many? Dressing up is a form of escapism/outlet for a number of people with various health issues. It's a cliche because it's a framework for helping a significant number of people cope with chronic illness.

Sure there are different outlets for everyone, but clothing has always been understood to have influence on the wearer beyond the practical - the social, cultural etc functions of clothing are well understood pretty much universal.

An individual perceived as annoying on social media or whatever doesn’t really change any of this.

Commenter from above here. If you dress up as a form of self care or escapism to help deal with something that's getting you down in your life, that's obviously fine, and can be a healthy outlet. I do it too, and have a number of chronic illnesses. It turns into pretentious and self aggrandising behaviour when you take that outlet and use it as a badge of your fragility and delicate, doll like super special snowflakeness. It becomes especially obnoxious when you wave around the fact that you're ill as if it makes the fact that you wear frilly dresses deep and meaningful and worthy of a film study.

It's at that point that the above (fashion/hobby as self care) can also become a really toxic behaviour, because you'll start to alienate people around you both by harping on how special your illness makes you (and believing it), and because you start using it as a justification for bad habits. Dressing in Lolita makes you feel good when nothing else does, so buying this dress is a need rather than a want, right, even if you have to borrow money for your friend again?

It's a self-victimising mentality that I absolutely despise, probably because I've come out the other side of it, so I might be reacting strongly to seeing it portrayed as something beautiful and fascinating in the trailer.

Plus, no matter which way you look at it, using your illness as clickbait for your ego trip is beyond tacky.

I would like to also chime in as someone with a chronic illness. While I didn't initially get into lolita fashion as an outlet for wanting to feel better about my body compared to how shit I physically feel, it is definitely something helpful and as such I really value the difference it makes in my own life.
However, there's a huge difference between me quietly enjoying it as an escape and someone literally throwing it in other people's faces. Yeah I get that you're sick and I actually know how much it sucks, but if you really wanted to escape you wouldn't talk about it all the time. Most of my friends don't even know about my illness because I don't want it to be a defining aspect of who people see me as.

Atleast on her tumblr she said that she knows they aren't her best coords and would take concrit to help her improve so its pretty good to know she is willing to take advice to do better next time.

I think she needs to style the wig a bit away from her face. The hair is all over her face and taking away its shape that she has. In the milky chan coord, it looks like she added the underskirt to add length but its not thw right type of underskirt to use, one with a lacy bottom would of been better. They are average looking coords and with a bit of work, they can be look better.

so is anyone going to actually give her direct concrit, or will this be like CoF threads, where people ignore her request but freely discuss her coords here? she can take what you can dish, just be direct.

i think a lot of the "lol ita" comments are made purely to stimulate conflict here. lolitas are pussies when it comes to direct confrontation. it's why people get so excited over Lashy making videos or Victor literally copy-pasting something from /cgl/ to Isaki. nobody has the courage to be frank off anon.
