ffffffff I read 'Kirsty' as 'Kristy' and was about to yell at you for spelling my name wrong. ._.;;

I kept misreading it as 'Kristy' as well, and I was wondering why people were talking about me.....

bunny_jean · « **Reply #552 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:11:47 pm »

too many similar names!! Kirsty, Kristy, and Kristi??? Fer realz? lol

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #553 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:15:01 pm »

lol
Yeah. That's why I'm going by a different name. It's so difficult having a name that can be spelled 10 different ways XP

So, I'm working on an outfit right now. Trying out a younger kodona look. Will be interesting if I look any good being a young boy...I'll post pics when it's done to get opinions.

bunny_jean · « **Reply #554 on:** May 24, 2011, 07:47:47 am »

Do it!

I'm kind of working on a kodona/pirate outfit. I made some shorts last term. Here: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/DSCN1551.jpg I need to fix how high waisted they are, but I want to make a matching vest and tricorn (with this tutorial: http://www.natronundsoda.net/klamotten/cns/klamottenpage.html?id=103). :3

I am invading my school with lolita!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #556 on:** May 24, 2011, 10:59:52 am »

jean, that's awesome ^^ Can't wait to see it. I'm wearing a quick outfit right now at school, just to see if I look any good. Friends have said I look good in this style, so I'm gonna experiment with more things.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #557 on:** May 24, 2011, 11:21:05 am »

HOLLY I LOVE THOSE BLOOMER SHORTS <3

bunny_jean · « **Reply #558 on:** May 24, 2011, 06:31:27 pm »

Thanks y'all!

I will def post pics when I end up finishing it, which I have no idea when it will be. XD

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #559 on:** May 24, 2011, 10:08:00 pm »

I'm gonna wear what i have of my outfit tomorrow, so I'll make sure to get pictures.

I'm defiantly liking the style, considering it will be nice in the summer when I just really don't wanna wear pants ^^

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #560 on:** May 24, 2011, 10:12:34 pm »

June 5th is International Lolita Day so I planned a meetup here.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #561 on:** May 24, 2011, 10:35:31 pm »

Looks pretty awesome! I'm defiantly gonna try to go ^^

I'll probably do a different outfit, since the one I'm working on is more country/steampunk...

bunny_jean · « **Reply #562 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:46:55 am »

Did you mean to say defiantly, or definitely? lol Either way works. XD

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #563 on:** May 25, 2011, 11:39:55 am »

O.O
I'm bad at English ^^;
So sure....?

Anyways, I'll post two pictures tonight to see what you guys think. One is more aristocrat Kodona, and the other is more Steampunk young Kodona. I wanna know which I should work on for the June 5th meet.

Kristee, actually.

And haha, fleur, you planned that on my graduation day. Ah well; it's not like I'd be able to go anyway. I don't even have a co-ord yet.

jaqua · « **Reply #565 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:54:24 pm »

I've been wanting to get into lolita fashion forever! I don't really have anything truly lolita to wear... but would I be welcome at the Pittock mansion meetup? I'd really like to meet some of the community even if I'm still kind of freshly into it :I

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #569 on:** May 25, 2011, 11:15:34 pm »

That just made my day XD

So, here are the pictures~
Aristocrat Kodona
Also planning on getting a top hat and putting blue roses on it. And will probably add some more details in places.

Steampunk young Kodona
Will probably add a jabot or a tie, and might get a lighter colored vest...
Also, just want opinion if this style looks any good on me. Thanks.

bunny_jean · « **Reply #570 on:** May 26, 2011, 09:34:52 am »

I think the top coord could use a Jacket to be more aristocrat, and def a hat, like you said.

The second one is looking pretty great! I think more steampunky accessories and maybe more balloony shorts (you know what I mean? like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-036p4OzMmxI/TdVkYqGYP0I/AAAAAAAACeE/hup_YDzvX-I/s1600/popup_41e2937a900c0.jpg) would look a bit more Kodona.

Otherwise I think they're starting to come together!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #571 on:** May 26, 2011, 12:26:59 pm »

I'll look into a jacket. Once I have money, I'll be getting official items.

I actually have a lot of stuff to add to that outfit to make it more Steampunk, but I didn't want to wear them b/c I was just wanting to show the basic style and see what people thought. I probably wont do the puffy shorts, just b/c I have large thighes and I don't want to show that off anymore >>

But thanks ^^
Wondering, which one should I wear to the meet up June 5th?

bunny_jean · « **Reply #572 on:** May 26, 2011, 03:42:55 pm »

They don't have to be super poofy, just a little poofy around the knee would be good. I have thunder thighs as well. :X

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #573 on:** May 27, 2011, 09:44:20 am »

I see what you mean. I was at school before so couldn't see the picture. I'll try that, thanks ^^

lychee-twist · « **Reply #574 on:** May 27, 2011, 02:34:15 pm »

Hey, all, I've been interested in lolita for a while now the more I learn about it. THanks for starting this thread, fleur. Do you guys think it'd be weird looking if someone taller dressed in the poofs? I think I'm generally older than the lot of you (I'm 25) and I'm also 5'10". I don't pull off cute very well. What do you guys think?

Also, can't wait to see your guys' outfits at Kumoricon. Lolita outfits are getting so cute nowadays.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #575 on:** May 27, 2011, 02:53:38 pm »

I think you should be fine. There are more lolita fashions that aren't so "cute", try aristocrat.

There are girls in our community pushing 30 and I started going to meets when I was 15, so age really isn't a problem.
As for tall, go for it. Bronte wears lolita and is crazy tall, and then she wears heels on top of it haha. I think tall lolitas are really striking and look larger than life, and short lolitas (like me!) are cute and tiny.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #577 on:** May 28, 2011, 01:05:42 am »

Aristocrat lolita? I think I know what style you're talking about, and I hadn't considered it! I wish I was on the shorter side so I could pull off the cute look, but oh well, I guess.

Thanks guys

MiriaRose · « **Reply #578 on:** May 28, 2011, 09:25:50 am »

Aristocrat isn't really lolita, but it's a related style.

This, aristo is pretty much welcomed at lolita events though. It looks amazing when done well!

Also I wasn't trying to say you can't wear sweet because of your height! My motto when it comes to lolita (and things in general haha) is if you like it, wear it :3

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #580 on:** June 06, 2011, 11:00:39 pm »

I'm wondering what outfit I should get first. I really wanna get an actual outfit and then work on getting pieces and making my own stuff. If you guys could help and give opinions, that'd be wonderful ^^

Here's my facebook page where I have all of them posted: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2121592683398.126223.1353240719

Those all looks good to me, but you have to be careful with F+F. Their mess up a LOT of orders and send stuff out that's completely the wrong size or material. You should look up reviews before buying from them.

luvan1me · « **Reply #583 on:** June 07, 2011, 07:13:01 pm »

*cough i bought from them cough cough they are good cough cough*

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #584 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:03:37 pm »

I've seen some reviews and it seems fine.

Maybe I should ask this: summer is coming up and I'd rather not do sweet lolita, what style should I look for?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #586 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:28:59 pm »

I'll probably just try with them. I've seen a lot of their clothing that I really like. If something's wrong I'll either send it back and complain or just fix it myself.

Or are there good sites that sell Kodona outfits? I haven't found very many, and that's the style I defiantly want to have the most of.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #587 on:** June 07, 2011, 08:58:16 pm »

Just because you had a good/bad experience with a store doesn't mean they're omgawesome/omgterribad, guys.

But fleur is right, look up reviews.

I'm tempted to go on a Taobao shopping spree. I just got a ton of graduation money, so. . Anyone know any gothic lolita Taobao shops that aren't listed on HelloLace already?

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #588 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:38:48 pm »

I'm pretty sure Hello Lace has pretty much all of them. If not then I'm sure there's a big post on egl you could look up~

bunny_jean · « **Reply #589 on:** June 07, 2011, 10:12:41 pm »

there is, but I'm not sure how up to date it is. It's either in the memories or tags or both.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #590 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:53:35 pm »

Thanks, I'll look for it.

Normally I'd spend this money on burando, but I'd rather buy some basics to my wardrobe first. I'd buy some Bodyline, too, but they got rid of DHL, so. .

bunny_jean · « **Reply #591 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:55:22 pm »

Yeah. since they got rid of the $20 shipping it's a lot less appealing. Plus a lot of their stuff is getting more expensive. That's why Bodyline was great before, cheap and cheap shipping for decent items.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #592 on:** June 08, 2011, 03:38:15 pm »

Trudat about them getting expensive.

I'd suggest Anna House for blouses, but they're getting slightly more expensive too |:<

MiriaRose · « **Reply #593 on:** June 08, 2011, 05:11:22 pm »

I don't mind them getting a bit more expensive, considering inflation and the fact that their stuff is really good quality and it's still relatively cheap.

However, I am irritated by the lack of flat-rate shipping. Although I've heard they were paying for most of the shipping themselves to keep it flat-rate, so. .?

MiriaRose · « **Reply #594 on:** June 20, 2011, 05:44:56 pm »

I DO APOLOGIZE FOR THE DOUBLE POST

Hey, fleur, are you any good at sewing? I know bunny_jean is, too, but I know you better. |D;; No offense, bunny_jean, I've just had bad experiences with seamstresses on here before.

And if you are, are you willing to take commission? :3

bunny_jean · « **Reply #595 on:** June 20, 2011, 05:46:22 pm »

lololololol. That's okay. I live in Eugene, so if fleur can't do your commission and you'd like to try me out, I'll be willing to in a few weeks.

and if I flake on you you can kick my ass.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #596 on:** June 20, 2011, 05:51:30 pm »

It depends on what haha. I can make skirts no problem! What do you have in mind?

MiriaRose · « **Reply #597 on:** June 20, 2011, 05:58:12 pm »

You know the VR skirt by AatP, the corset-style one? I'd seriously love to have a Derpire Romance skirt in that style. |D

And bunny, thanks! I actually live in California right now, so you'd have to ship it to me. Obviously, I'd pay for shipping.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #598 on:** June 20, 2011, 06:04:54 pm »

I don't think I'd be able to give you a very good product since I've never made a high-waisted skirt before >: You should commission bunny_jean/Holly though! She's an AMAZING seamstress!

Btw do you know anything about the Derpy-chan swatches? I want to make something for myself too haha.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #599 on:** June 20, 2011, 06:09:53 pm »

Alright, Holly, are you good with prints and high-waisted skirts? :3

And sadly, I don't. I'm kind of a failure when it comes to making things, hence why I'm trying to commission it. xD;;
