I'll finish off with a couple I did recently. How do you gulls collage? Do you use pieces you already have, or find what you think looks best and work on acquiring it later?

I look at pieces that will look best, and work towards acquiring each item.
Here’s one I did recently, I just need the bag and then I’ll have an actual decent coord for once. For now I’m using the Ivory chocolate Boston bag, but I hope that one day I’ll get the biscuit bag!

Can anyone help me with this? I fell in love with the idea of this dress, but when I bought it I realized that it's literally impossible to coord without looking like a clusterfuck. Can anyone offer suggestions? I don't know how well it will sell if I decide to get rid of it altogether.

[Anonymous No.9877267]

>>9877266
This is what I have so far. I was trying to tone down the print a little, but I'm drawing a blank on accessories, and I'm not even sure I like what I have.

[Anonymous No.9877318]

>>9877267
With the print being so busy, I wouldn’t have any accessory with a print, so with your idea of the flower tights, might make it too crazy. I’d reccomend sticking with black and red accessories, for example, red headwear and shoes, and black leg wear, and blouse. You can then build on it from there. Hope this helps!

[Anonymous No.9877334]

>>9877318
The tights are the matching set, but you're probably right, I'll try a new pair of tights and see how that makes it look. TY!

Would this combination look atrocious with black shoes? I'd love to wear it with navy but I don't think they'll come in time. Open to suggestions about other styles too.

[Anonymous No.9877836]

>>9877814
Yes. Do you have any other coloured shoes? Brown might work slightly better.

[Anonymous No.9877837]

>>9877814

There's only one navy skirt, I think you can get away with black, though it does somewhat come across as "my shoes didn't arrive in time" all the same.

Better shoe colour choice would be to match it to the collar and sleeve trim/bracelets (?).

Sometimes I like to have fun and create a Ouji version of a coord I already made, just as an exercise in matching color and style.

[Anonymous No.9879578]

Any feedback on this vintage-inspired FD coord I'm trying to put together?

[Anonymous No.9879585]

I love this concept. What are you thinking about makeup and hair? I think that can make or break your coord.

[Anonymous No.9879587]

What would a minimalist coord look like?

[Anonymous No.9879641]

>>9879587
Lolita isn't a very minimalist style, anon. Something simple with clean lines and limited accessories like IW's model pics is probably the closest you're going to get.

[Anonymous No.9879785]

>>9879641
No way, you could definitely get more minimal than that. For starters, no printed legwear. Solids and very low-key prints only of course. It's a challenge but I think it would be great.

[Anonymous No.9879813]

>>9879578
The accessories are cute, but I think the blouse's sleeves might look at bit plain compared to the classier hat and gloves.

I've been obsessively on threads about this coord but I need some help gulls what socks and what purse should I go with (I'm leaning toward the AP socks but they're near impossible to find alone)

Any other crits? This is my baker legacy coord

It's the AP Donut Bag anon! I'm scared the pink is going to be too light for the pinks on the dress (◠︵◠)" is that as big of a concern as I make it out to be?

[Anonymous No.9879893]

>>9879892
its nearly impossible to match colours bang on, even when its from the same brand, in the same series. If its blatantly obvious then thats up to you, but if its only noticeable when you look close, then it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

[Anonymous No.9879905]

>>9879858
I actually prefer the pink purse! But both are good. You could always rewear the outfit and switch it up from time to time.

I also like the AP socks best. Absolutely no to the Baby ones. And the pink stripes are also good and can work if you cant find the other AP socks.

[Anonymous No.9880248]

>>9879893
Thank you! I can be a bit of a perfectionist with colors sometimes, and I need to be brought back down to reality lol
>>9879905
Yeah the baby socks were my last choice actually, but I wasn't sure about the weeb socks either. I hope I can find a pair of the a la carte tea time socks eventually. But I feel like the pink purse goes better with those socks and the shoes better than the donut (but also I love the fact it's a donut! UGH!)

Saw your question in the general about rose-themed rings.

Rather than weighing down your hands with normie jewellery I'd suggest splurging on some nice nail art. Gives you more of that gothic rose vibe that you seem to be going for. If you don't want to do it at a nail salon, I'd suggest OPI brand black nail polish (cheap black nail polishes can be pretty iffy), and then add a red rose nail sticker on just a couple of nails.

Alternatively, you could also do finger armour jewellery, saves you from painting your nails, but it's harder to find something you like and can re-wear.

[Anonymous No.9884205]

>>9880254
If you made that, then I don't think I want to trust any recommendations you give.

[Anonymous No.9884330]

>>9883965
Thank you for the idea! I was going to do matte black nails, but adding a rose pattern would give it a nice extra touch. I'll have to go look for a cute stamping plate like this one.

Can you tell I'm obsessed with this print? I make collages when I'm bored at work so if anyone has any requests feel free to ask. If not, I'll just keep making random collages with dresses I want to own lol

[Anonymous No.9884508]

>>9883350
maybe it's just because it's a collage and not on an actual person, but this looks pretty yikes. the dress and tights... I dunno. That dress looks really cheap. I like everything aside from that though, and I think the tights are beautiful on their own, but that dress drags everything down... which is sad because I kinda like the bodice design

[Anonymous No.9884887]

>>9884508
I think it's pretty for a lucky pack dress, it's made in the style of Enchantilly's Little Briar Rose OP but it's missing the accent color around the neckline and the bottom ruffle. I think the overdress may be cheapening the actual OP

[Anonymous No.9885058]

>>9884508

There's owner photos of the lucky pack dress floating around, the material is shantung so it does look pretty nice in person.

I think OP editing the images so that the overlay is transparent is what's messing up the way the dress looks, it's kinda hard to judge the fabric texture now that it's composed of different parts with different light sources.

[Anonymous No.9885555]

>>9884205
Could you give some specific reason?

You don’t have to, I just want to know what’s off to you or others.

[Anonymous No.9885621]

>>9885555
It literally looks like you just chose things that matched in colour without thinking at all about the style or how they'd sit with each other. For example, the wine shirt looks more classic but the only thing in that picture you can wear with it is the skirt which is very punky. The hat matches nothing except the red shirt, the jacket is an awkward length for lolita and looks like it was meant to be worn with more purely punk stuff given the cut. Basically, you look like you've tried to do gothic, classic and punk all at once and completely failed at managing to get a single coord out of that collage.

[Anonymous No.9885632]

>>9885621
I filtered it down to a single outfit. I agree about it being conflicting in cut and style, but I hope this is a marginal improvement.

[Anonymous No.9885642]

>>9885632
That skirt doesn't go well with the rest of the outfit. A high waisted, corsets black skirt would look much nicer.

[Anonymous No.9885650]

>>9885642
ty for the reasoned, polite criticism. I don't wear goth or classic so I was trying to explore a little. Can't wait to see some more collage from other anons in the thread.

[Anonymous No.9885671]

>>9885632
I agree with >>9885642. An all out punk skirt is just looks bad. If you want the subtle goth motifs like skulls on the hat, go for black skulls hidden in your accessories and agree with a black high waisted skirt -either along the lines of Atelier Pierrot or the A line ones IW does.

It's a fun idea, but still looks bad. I'd go for a short-sleeved white blouse under the jsk, then do the tartan as outerwear. If the tartan shirt hangs too low either crop it (alter it) or do an underbust tie with it.

Either that or find a black denim dress and headbow to work with instead.

Would also go with a cowboy hat and boots instead of bull horns, pretending to be a cow kind of takes it somewhat into crazy-people territory for me, and not in a good way, either.

The halterneck tie won't sit that way on a collar. Either use a high neck blouse (no fold down collars), or tuck the halter ties into the dress (shoop it out of the photo).

[Anonymous No.9887752]

>>9887672
>>9887745
Or try a square neck blouse.

[Anonymous No.9887839]

>>9887752
Yeah, i'll try that. I usually fold the collar above the dress ties, but that probably looks bad from behind

[Anonymous No.9888356]

>>9887752

The frills on the square neckline will get interrupted by the halterneck ties, which will look odd. I suppose you can cover that up if you put ribbon brooches on both sides to cover up how the neckline frill is being folded under the shoulder straps/halter ties.

A square neckline without frills would mean a lot of straight lines (shoulder straps, halter neck, neckline square) are all over your chest/shoulder area.

>>9887839

Yeah, looks bad from behind. Source: own both this and Dream Marine. The friend who helped me dress fussed ten minutes over the neck ties before we finally settled on tucking it into the dress.

It looks great over a bolero though, if that helps (as in, wear the bolero over the dress, tie the halter tie, drape the bow outside the bolero).

[Anonymous No.9888386]

Attending an event in August so trying to get my outfit down. I was thinking religious/cross theme(but I could also do angels as well).

Looking for crit, also suggestions for legwear(would rather otks over tights) and jewelry. Thanks!

[Anonymous No.9888447]

>>9888386

I'd ditch the peignoir -- with the veil from the crown, no waist on the peignoir and a poofy dress you'll probably end up resembling this >>9834167.

If you want to further define your figure, you can also ditch the sash, remove the waist bow/ribbon from the dress and add a corset, though I don't think it's strictly necessary. I'd really suggest keeping a tight focus on the layering so there's something interesting to actually look at rather than a few bits of jewellery floating on a puff of chiffon layers.

For OTKs, AP is a good brand to focus on, they've practically crossed every print with crosses the last few years so it'll be easier to find Something Cross or Random Heavenly Holy otks floating around. Alternatively, you could go for lace tights -- not the cheapo floral ones, the ones that look like crochet. That will give you some lightness to match the sheer veil and the short sleeves.
