#lolita concrit

[rocktheoperas]

hi!! i’m a newbie goth lolita and i’ve only ever planned basic coords that are highschool dress code appropriate for my school but still mana sama esc. It’s a hobby i’m fond of!! i wanna do a ouji/lolita theme for my prom date and i and i had something like this in mind… please leave some concrit or suggestions to make this fit more into the lolita or ouji standard (we will both have the same necklace)

i was deciding on whether i should embroider roses at the bottom of the dress or not, too..

Constructive Criticism

One of the more interesting parts of online culture is the need to generate a reaction that brings engagement. At the point we are at on the internet all the major websites thrive on engagement to the point detriment as the “algorithm” will determine how much exposure your posts gets. In this generating a conversation around yourself only serves to help you, and in Lolita the best way to do this…

After seeing Fluffy Kawaii Jo's video about making a coord with pieces from HT, and watching Cupcake Kamisama's video on why Rockabilly dresses can't really be used in EGL, I decided to at least take a peek in my local HT.

I was honestly surprised, I feel the blouse and skirt are rather cute and I was able to go home with a coord today.

Shoes not pictured because I can't fathom putting shoes on my bed.

There are a few things I'd change with the pieces to make them better suited for lolita fashion.

I want to make lace to go along the bottom hem of the skirt, so I'll probably design a cherry lace trim to use for that, and make lace using the same color thread/s for the headdress.

I also need to make bracelets or wrist cuffs. I have my time cut out for me!

Brands:

Blouse, Skirt: Sweet Society

Hat: vintage

Basket bag: Longaberger (of all things! I felt it looked great in a few more mature sweet coords I did back in the day, and I like it here too).

Lace Choker: hand tatted by me. I'll likely make something with a better match in the next few months.

Bloomers: Some hand-me-down Taobao bloomers that were missing the tag when I got them. They're quite comfy so I hope they last me a long time.

Socks: Hot Topic. I realized after getting home that the lace is horrible- I didn't scrutinize them enough in the store. I'll make sock toppers, so in the end it won't be a deal breaker.

Concrit welcome but keep in mind that I'm also being critical of the coord, so different insight than what I've shared would be optimal.

Here's some of the problem areas I've already picked up on and am trying to figure out.

Please don't mind the black ribbon on the hat! I'm trying to tie together the shoes, bag, and hair accessory all together since not much is left of my old collection. The brown natural material of the hat and bag, the black of the hat's ribbon and my black shoes, it's imperfect, but it's a start. After I make a better hair accessory, I'll try tying a black velvet bow under the blouse's collar to match the shoes instead of relying on the hat.

I know I need at least some sort of wrist accessory. I've already raided my jewelry drawer, so I'm hoping to luck into some good jewelry.

Tfw you haven't even finished your Easter coord and now you have to make a coord for the week afters jfashion event and decide whether you use the same dress from taobao or do Squirrels Party.

never understood lolitas who genuinely care abt how other lolitas look.. like giving concrit when someone asks is one thing but treating these clothes like theyre some holy sanctified thing that should only be worn by The Worthy is ridiculous and a lot of styling/taste is objective anyway. gives me the impression that theyre just so terrified of being perceived as weird/gross/ugly that when they see someone else just living their life they freak out cuz its their personal worst fear. Like wake up and stop policing people because you think it reflects poorly on you somehow because you happen to wear the same fashion and ur insecure asf

From the same post, secrets 114.. a true portrayal of what it feels like to scroll through some of the older forums for egl fashion. followed by a small psa for my blog, as i continue to post.

Back then, roris would send in secret submissions talking about their communities, exposing 'itas' or girls they thought weren't good enough. A lot of the content includes transphobia, fatphobia and racism... while I have no intention of erasing the past, I do think it's important to leave these things buried. Lolita fashion is about, amongst other things, a sweetness that defies the bitter things we face as we grow as humans.

I believe we should encourage concrit and discussion of how to make coords look best. I don't believe this relates AT ALL to someone's weight, physical appearance or identity.

I cannot, with this mindset, repost and share with you all any of the content with girls' "outfits" being mocked. Let's be nostalgic without being blind to the faults of the time..

everyone is welcome here. I hope from the bottom of my heart you enjoy my posts.

lolita fashion zine: Revue de Rosé from Rosé Forêt (link) 🌹

If anyone has recommendations for lolita fashion zines I would love to hear them! 🌸

Got these in the mail today- they’re super cute, but unfortunately very short; especially compared to other lolita zines like Moonbow or JBTK. However the art/photos are really nice imo! I like the concrit essay in the first one too. The first zine has more essays and photos, the second more art and an interview with a jewelry shop owner. I really wish they had more content but hopefully they’ll be able to make future issues longer!

ConCrit for Anime Girls

Cute coord, I think this OP is lovely; I think the front bow and cross neck ties are cute details. I would maybe switch the hair ribbons for something more detailed, perhaps bigger hairbows with white lace trim to match the OP. I dislike the boots paired with the dress, they look like they interfere with the silhouette and don't match the vibe of the rest of the coord. I would definitely switch the boots for something daintier, perhaps mary janes. overall a simple but passable coord 4/5

Haruhi Suzumiya, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"

This one is going to be controversial but I actually kind of like this coord. While to some lolitas this look may seem painfully ita, I see potential.

I think the headdress and shoes are fine. My biggest complaint here is the dangling ribbons and straps. They distract from the rest of the dress and just look messy. My second issue is the balance of color. I think there is too little red I would switch the cuffs for another pair thats more appropriate for lolita fashion, those look more like a maid cosplay accessory. Perhaps white wristcuffs with a red ribbon so that it matches the tops of her socks (like these).

Needs improvement but despite it's flaws has charm 3/5

i used to be really into lolita fashion and i still follow a couple communities occasionally but lately it's struck me as really...idk what the right word is maybe someone else will know. outfits posted with apologies or explanations for perceived inadequacies or with "concrit accepted!" attached as a way to signal that you know it isn't perfect, that you're sure someone else could do it better. "sorry for my shoes!" "i know my hair looks bad!" "am i too tall for this dress?" "i have a better petticoat coming, i promise!" like God i know it's the culture of this community and the compulsion to fit in and to do it Right and the fear of being "ita" and getting mocked on 4chan boards but i promise. I promise you can just wear sneakers. You can just wear your natural hair. You can wear what you want without killing yourself about it and bending over backwards to please people who couldnt give two shits about you either way. Like what is the point when you are so fucking afraid constantly and you always feel like an outsider and you can never enjoy what you have because you're thinking about how you could be Better no matter what

[royalsealy]

For your lolita fashion ask (thank you for putting it together btw!): 6, 7, 8, 11

Ofc!! Thank you for sharing + asking!

6. How has the way you wear lolita changed since you've been in the fashion?

Coording wise, now I'm pulling from major colors within prints instead of minor colors present! I used to pull from obscure minor accents in the prints which while fun was not always so successful, especially starting out with limited wardrobe and knowledge.

(Pic from my first meet/second coord! I also finally trimmed the bangs in this wig LOL)

Unfortunately, last year I also got into the habit of not making as many accessories. I'm hoping to correct that and make more hair pieces like fascinators or canotiers, clips, and wrist cuffs

8. What are some details you wish to see more of?

Aside from more variations in cuts/construction and for my own selfish reasons, I would love to see some brown tabby cat representation! I often see black, white, tuxedo, and orange tabby but rarely a fully brown tabby, no white on the underside

11. What is your lolita pet peeve?

Seeing people give concrit that don't post any of their own lolita coords tbh! It's hard to know where they're coming from and how knowledgeable on the subject matter they really are. I notice this is even worse when someone is sharing an old school inspired coord and the concrit given is that those specific elements dont fit the rest of the look (striped socks or brown/black shoes for example, or going for a smaller petticoat and being told to get a 5-6 layer petti)
