This seems like a neat idea, but I don't like putting pictures of myself on the internet :/

Bump because this thread can have some potential, but I'm too scared to post my pic first

The fact that your image is a thumbnail makes me suspicious.

You first. Then I might try....

I'd post if someone else does it first

Since no one wants to go first, let's start with a random celeb?

I think she's a sort of classic-sweet. Definitely soft colors

I want to, but I'm afraid of trolls, "Hurr durr ur blak blak ppl cant wear loli"

>>4955193

There were some lolis in the style section of the New York Times today. I think under some mini photo collection called "On the Street". Any of you there here? You were wearing red and black cords. Someone was wearing a black Milky Planet.

>>4955191

See, whilst given her image that would be my gut wrench reaction would be that she'd look amazing in the lighter dresses (pinks, blues, pastels etc.), I then reckoned with her grey eyes and cooler skin tone she'd be better with slightly darker classic/country tones.

Thus I murdered the outline someonevery nicely made for the ideal lolita thing yesterday.

And she's stunning enough facially that she can totally rock the more toned down co-ordinate.

>>4955193
I'll post this for you then.

>>4955208
>>4955193
No, don't be afraid~ Just pick colors that match with your skintone and you'll be fine :) If you guys want any advice, I would be happy to help you out if you want to PM me or email me!

Love, a fellow black lolita

>>4955375
Not lolita but black and would love tips on make-up. I want to go for a simple, innocent look but everything time I do, it always ends up looking mysterious or sexy. I have thew same skin tone as >>4955371 I tried following most tutorials, but they don't seem to work with dark skin. (Or I'm just doing it wrong)


So much for lolita self post thread, or should we make a new thread?

>>4955209
Bill captured some lolitas? I am deeply jealous of them <3

Loli up my best friend? Her eyes are a really bright green, if eye colour is relevant.

I don't want to be the first to selfpost, so this is a compromise, I guess.

Fuck it, I'm not scared.
Excuse the upskirt, I don't have many photos of myself on this computer.

>>4955396
I am still trying to work out makeup colors myself, but since I am black and have really narrow, upturned eyes, I like using Asian makeup tutorials for eyes. The slightest hint of a cat eye turns my makeup to the sexy/mysterious look you mentioned, but I've noticed that if I wing my liner downwards instead it creates the illusion of a wider, more innocent eye.

Fine, I'll self post, you pussies.
I've never had anything lolita before, but always somewhat interested in it.

I'm 5'10 if that helps at all

>>4955193

Okay, I'll shoot. You guys made me feel a little more confident, haha.
(I know, I know, dat outfit. It was for an event.)

>>4955454

Oh, and 5'6", 108 lbs. Not sure if you wanted that.

>>4955439
hnng. I liek tall girls.

>>4955439
Whoa, you have BEAUTIFUL eyes.

I think you'd look really good in classic, maybe dark reds, browns, burgundies, with off-whites and creams for contrast.

I'd actually like to know

>>4955454
>>4955457
man I'm 5'7 and 118lbs and I thought that was a little low.
but anyways you have a really nice, is your hair really short or is it pulled into a bun? I think classic in colours like cream, burgandy, richer dark coloursin general, floral skirts will look great

>>4955460

Well if I did get into lolita I'd want a white/off white dress, so that works!
What about wigs? I've always really liked lolita wigs but I need a color that would be appropriate for me. I have pretty dark features (see pic).

I'd love to get into lolita, though it is a bit daunting. I've recently lost a lot of weight, still losing, but only about 10-15 pounds off my goal weight now. So, since I need a whole new wardrobe anyway, I'd love to have some lolita in there.

The face picture is really recent, the body picture is bit older, but the most recent body shot I have. I was a sort of "hot topic mall goth" in high school, and I still have trouble knowing what colors suit me. I'd like to keep my glasses for any look, as I genuinely feel I look better with them on, and when I tried contacts for a while back in high school I got an eye infection, so they scare me now.

I'd love to hear any thoughts! Lay it on me you lovely lolis!

>>4955476
I mean to say "you have a really nice face"
keep make up simple and wear a lip gloss that will even out your lip colour

>>4955484
Maybe something quite simple like the latest Lockshop wig, in dark brown? I think the colour already looks pretty good, although auburn could also work.

>>4955476

Ha, I don't have much hair- about an inch and a half right now.
Thanks for the suggestions. Those are already colours I really like, so that's a bonus.

Black lolitas should stay away from the colors black and dark brown imo. It makes you look darker and dull. And i hate seeing white girls in pastel yellow, but maybe that's just me.

Ok since people are actually posting now I guess I'll go ahead and post too. I don't have too many full body pics, but I'll find some if I can

>I'm 5'6 143lbs if that helps

>>4955520
fuck, i hate seeing white girls in any type of pastels. i know that is a VERY unpopular opinion, but there you have it.

>>4955520
I agree with this. I love seeing black lolis in whites and pastels, it just looks so lovely with their dark rich skin tone. On white girls it can wash them out, or sort of tint their skin color to look a little yellow/pink/blue what have you because it's so close. I especially hate seeing fat white lolis in pinks of any kind, it makes them look like piggies or Kirby.

>>4955520
A lot of that depends on skintone. If you're black and have really dark skin, black and chocolate probably won't look great. But if you're black and a little lighter ( say, >>4955454's skintone), I think that darker browns and black can work. Black hair accessories do tend to blend in, though, so you may want to stay away from them. And I've met a couple of pale girls who look awesome in pastel yellow, though many don't look too good in it.

When it comes to color, it's better to experiment and find out what works for you personally, rather than abiding by a general rule. Color is highly dependent on many small, individual factors that can change as soon as you change your hair color, or even if you simply spend too much time in the sun and get a tan.

I'll bite

>>4955430
My eyes are small and squinty, and not in the nice asian way, plus perminent dark circles and wrinkles.

I tried the Asian tuts, but I don't think they look quite right on me. Also, which shade of nude for lipstick is best? My lips are huge so I want to tone them down and make them less noticeable. Lighter nudes make my face look washed out. Darker looks better, but again, gives off a sexy appeal. Pinks I've tried stick out too much, making them look even bigger.

>>4955454
Wow, you're pretty. I'm jelly because I want your eyes. Remember to keep mositerizing to keep your face forever.

>>4955544
Omg, so true about fat white lolitas looking like pigs or kirby. I can't believe i never saw it before, and i will definately never be able to unsee it lol.

>>4955559
I first came to this realization when PZ was posting her infamous pink vomit outfit. It even had a giant yellow star accessory, I could think of nothing but Kirby, and imagined her opening her giant maw and inhaling smaller lolis to gain their styles.

I like a lot of different kinds of lolita. Classic, sweet, hime, sailor, etc. I don't know if I'm suited to classic though...

Also, old picture. My hair is past my shoulders now (not to mention I'd want to buy wigs). I'm 4'11'' and 116lbs. Oh, and what color/styles of wigs would be best with aforementioned styles?

>>4955542
>>4955520
I think it depends on the type of skin undertone the white girl has lol. I agree most white girls look terrible in pale yellow but I've seen a few that I think pull it off.

ok I've been looking to get into lolita, I like more classic things. I'm just not sure what would look good or what would come up short(I'm 5'7).
My hips look way bigger than they are here.

>>4955523
I think wearing lighter colors will work for you, and possibly trim the eybrows. You seem to have good skin, it just needs work on evening it out. (Which is a problem for myself as well as plenty others)

>>4955552
You're very pale. (this is okay, plenty of people envy this) but when it comes to make-up you do not want to look washed out. Use rose pink lipstick to have your lips stick out a bit. Skin like yours should be fun to play with make-up wise since you can turn it into almost anything.

>>4955554
I'd stay away from nudes if i were you. They don't really flatter anyone. Maybe go with a deep burgundy, which sounds like it would stand out, but is actually more toned down than nude (on dark skin)

>>4955554
Which sorts of tutorials are you using? I find that the ones that require softer liner or a less intense eye, rather than those really extreme droopy-eye fake-outer-corner tutorials, look the best for me. Will try to link a few when I get home!

As for colors, I have yet to find a good nude. Makeup brands just do not make products with women of color in mind :( I do feel that using a matte, sheer lipstick looks better than a gloss or a full-coverage lipstick, though. Both glosses and lipsticks are created with the intention of making lips look fuller, whereas a sheer product will add color without adding the appearance of increased size.

>>4955582
I have to say that i have never seen nude lipstick look good on a black chick. It just looks trashy and gross imo. Although i don't see the appeal of nude lipstick on anybody, apart from maybe those going for a Brigitte Bardot sex kitten look. Its like, why hide your lips? They are your lips, they are on your face, they aren't going anywhere, embrace them! I rock reds, burgundys, pinks, corals, i dont give a fuck.

>>4955589
Why not just try a matte formula? I have very big lips, and when i want to make them look less big i wear a matte lipstick, maybe with a little gloss in the center to give a pouty look.

>>4955609
Red lips trashier than nude?
In what universe?

>>4955623
Huh? I don't get your question.

>>4955589
The tutorials I've played with generally are those I pick up from /cgl/ lol. When using eyeliner, or trying to do the whole "cat-eye" thing, I never notice a difference. This is ppossible because I already have dark circles around my eyes.

I'm able to cover this up with make-up and conceler, but when I put them on, they look as if I did not even bother with the conceler. I'll take a pic of my eyes in a second.

>>4955623
*meant to say nude lips are trashier than red?*
seriously, nothing screams whore louder than red/coral/pink lipstick. lolita demands a demure look. nude is definately the way to go.

>>4955618
Maybe this is just me, but I have yet to find a good matte formula that works well with my skintone. With a sheer stain or lipstick, I have a little more leeway in terms of actually having to match the color.

>>4955644
Really? I thought a 'nude lip and smoky eye' was the whores look of choice, but then i am going on what i see on Jersey Shore, Playboy magazine, porn, and the slappers at the club on a friday night.

>>4955580
>>4955568
>>4955552
bumping for these 3

>>4955644
I don't think that's the case at all. Will a loud red that clashes with your skin look like shit? Yes. But a more toned-down red can look awesome, especially if you have darker skin.

>>4955635 here. These are my eyes. All around my eyes are dark, and I have these wrinkles underneath them that I can't get rid of. They're also droopy, and puffy.

>>4955711
I don't really wear make up, but I have similar eye shape.
A lot of Asians have the puffy monolid and some have the crease. You could probably work with some Asian make up tutorials. chanarchive has some under the cgl section

>>4955493
I'm bumping for myself... I haven't gotten any suggestions yet.

>>4955580

same as
>>4955722
not much help, but I think you look especially good good in navy and maroon

>>4955711
I want to reassure you that your eyes aren't half as bad as you think, anon. A lot of Indian women I've seen have similar coloring around the eyes, and it makes the eyes themselves look whiter and larger. A very pretty look. Try emphasizing that with a subtle smokey eye, or at least some kohl. Don't be shy with it. The key is to do both top -and- bottom lid.

I've been trying to find a style of lolita that fits me well for a really long time... I ordered this red dress off of Milanoo, it was supposed to be "vintage" but it was horrid. Halp?
Pic related, it's me from a couple different angles. (I have a really long nose XP )

>>4955711
Oh, okay, I thought your eyes were a little bit more upturned! When your eyes are downturned but small, Asian makeup tutorials can be helpful, but you need to decrease the downward turn of your liner or you'll get what I fondly call the sad-panda look. They do help in making your eyes appear bigger, though, so it's a good place to start!

You might also want to look into an undereye cream or serum to help reduce the puffiness of your undereye circles. Clinique makes an awesome, but pricey, version, while Garnier makes a $12 undereye rollerball serum that works pretty well, too. Both have a fair amount of product and last for several months, and you apply both of them before doing your makeup. The results look kind of minimal at first, but over time you can see a huge difference.

>>4955581
>Light colors
>Trim eyebrows
>Even skin out

Will do anon thanks

Pro tip for all anons looking to trim their eyebrows:

GET THEM THREADED!! It's much less painful than waxing, lasts longer than plucking, and is in general awesome. Also, there is a much smaller chance of hurting your facial skin with threading. I tried waxing once, and it burned of a big hunk of skin. Never again.

>>4955746
>>4955580
>>4955493
anything for these ladies?

me? please and thank you~

>>4955767
>>THREADED!!
>>lasts longer than plucking

Threading IS plucking, but with a thread. It will be effective for exactly the same amount of time. Friend anons, kindly disregard any further advice on threading that comes from excitable all-caps multiple-exclamation-point anon. She means well, but she's a bit damaged.

I tried sweet but...it doesn't suit my face lol. I'm thinking gothic maybe?

>>4955803

In my experience, plucking didn't always work. The hair would break off before the root. So they'd come back sooner. Maybe my tweezers were shit or something.

me ^^

>>4955812
country^^ more like mints, light blue or yellow

>>4955812
Yeah. Stick with colors that have yellow tints to them. Creams or more classic colors might suite you better.

>>4955824
>>4955817
Hmm I think creams would look good actually, thanks for the suggestion.

>>4955812
You are gorgeous. Gothic would look great on you but I think you would look stunning in classic. Especially if you went all out. You could probably Lois awesome with a bonnet- which I can't so I am jealous

>>4955609
I agree kind of. Nude lipstick looks like you put concealer on your lips.

>>4955454
Jeweltones?

>>4955815
>>4955790
>>4955746
>>4955580
another bump for these girls

>>4955878
Thank you! :D You know I've never thought to dress in classic...I know what my next lolita purchase is haha.

>>4955790

You have big, round eyes and good skin. Honestly, I think that makes you very well suited to lolita. You could probably get away with doing pretty much anything.

Also, check this: >>4935881
It's relevant to everyone's interests.

>>4955746
>>4955899
Awaiting patiently :S

>>4955746
country would suit you, light colours, but not pink.

>>4956035
Ironically, I'm Texan.
Anything else? XD

>>4955580
>>4956022
same

>>4956003
Thank You!

>>4955746

Don't order from Milanoo. I'm not sure if your current haircut flatters your face as much as it could. It makes you look like you're 10. But, you could probably do sweet and classic.

>>4955746
you have a very droopy face, anon. make sure you always apply makeup and wash your face in an 'upwards and outwards' motion so as not to make that worse. also try contouring and highlighting.

as for lolilta, maybe sweet or classic?

>>4955581
thanks!

>>4955552
bumping for more clothing colors.

Sorry for the poor illumination. I'm very short and I often do sweet lolita. Always wanted to try elegant.

>>4955815
Anyone?

I'm >>4955568. I hate to be insistent, but it'd be nice to get some opinions for colors/wigs, please.

>>4956129
Oh, I never really thought of that.
I wasn't wearing make up that day, but I usually make sure to cover up the bag under my eyes.
I saw a post suggesting something like Garnier rollerball or something. I'll check that out

And I actually have a pink wig that I just got not too long ago. I'll post pics to get someone's opinion. I'm still unsure as to whether or not that pink looks good.

>>4955580
please?

>>4956163

You look like you could adapt well to different styles if you put effort into. Maybe more elegant things like classic and some gothic would suit you more. I bet jewel tones would look really good on you.

>>4956165

Red or blue sailor would look really cute! Also you seem petite so don't overdo the sweet

>>4956175

thank you! I'm a classic girl actually. Whats a jewel tone?

>>4956187
http://a.sccdn.net/trends-1/590x300/40_1261982038.jpg

>>4956165
I think you would look great in sailor, deep blues and cream like this dress. Or some of the punk/sweet thing from h.naoto frill

>>4956154
You need to stop being so damn cute.

>>4956177
>>4956221

Thanks! I'll definitely look into it.

Kind of a dumb question but why not overdo the sweet? Would it make me look dwarfed or something?

>>4956154
>>4955580
these 2 are still waiting ladies

>>4955812
three words Juliette et Justine, you've got a strong look that would suit the fancy near historical style of the brand.

>>4955426
You're an ugly whore.

>>4955580
If you want to wear your natural hair boater hats look very cute in classic, they give a bit of a school look. innocent world offers long length dresses but it's best to measure yourself to see where the indavidual peice will fall on you.

>>4955426
Still no suggestions. I am guessing bittersweet or punk maybe? I have no trouble wearing a wig either to hide the ridiculous color.

posting bc i need to get into lolita

>>4956271
Thanks, that is very sweet and just what I was hoping to hear.

>>4956277
You should wear a paper bag over your head to hide your ridiculous face Amanda.

>>4956230
omg
Thank you :'3

>>4956272
that's very cute thanks!

>>4956280
You have a very sweet and innocent face... and yet for some reason I keep wanting to picture you in classic... maybe something somewhere between? Try looking up Zeruda, I think her sort of style would work well for you, but maybe in warmer colors

>>4956167
Pink; look good or no? <:3
The reason it's so dramatic-looking is because I was taking pics for an art project >u<"

Me please?

>>4956277
If you want to rock the pink hair you might want to look up princesspudding and octavekitten they both have an 'alternitive look. If you wore a wig I think red might suit you. I think a honey toned blode or a rich brunette would be good wig colors to try.

>>4956299
Dusky rose for color and maybe a sweet classic look. A subtle hime look with roses and pearls in your hair would be cute.

I know eyebrows need work and such and I should look into makeup, but that aside, any advice?

Genuinely curious.

>>4956300
Awesome, thanks! I think Princess Pudding is really cute!

>>4956283
You should take a look in the mirror, Diana. Not the best look girl yourself. Just saying.

>>4955426
>>4956277
I agree, both bittersweet and punk would look great on you! Especially black colorway AP prints (maybe black x pink, esp dark pink, or black x lavender coordinates - Fantastic Dolly would be a great print).I agree with getting a wig too, I like your hair but in lolita it would probably be a bit distracting haha.

http://daily-lolita.livejournal.com/?poster=octavekitten is who you distantly remind me of for some reason. :)

>>4956333
just wanted to let you know that you are fucking adorable hnnngh
sage for not contributing/giving advice

>>4956334

You are so pretty! I'm leaning towards classic, but more kind of quirky? Like metamorphose or even retro-esque? Greens would be kind of an obvious color choice for you

>>4955426
not gonna lie i thought you were balding at first. then i noticed that it was just that your hair was blonde and really close to your skin tone.

>>4956237

yes!! Tha's exacly my thoughts

>>4956333
I think metamorphose would look great on you, some of their more retro pop designs. Mint and prints with vibrant pops of color in the desing also. If you don't want to wear a wig you could get clip in ponytails in your natural color, your current hair is very similar to a lot of the base wigs that they come with.
Gothic using touches of deep green would be awesome too.

>>4956340
I think I will probably get something black with lavender in it now. I have some pastel btssb dresses, but I have to wear a wig because it looks retarded with my hair.

>>4956154

Any suggestions? D:

>>4956294
thanks! I love love love classic so im really happy to hear that.

>>4956334
Wine colors (with your current hair at least) soft poof and old school details would look lovely.

I'm honestly curious. Dress me, cgl.

I decided to make my own brand; Hermit, The Stars Shine Bright.

>>4956154
I think an lady like otome look would be very cute. Bringing in the elegant in the details, a nice pair of heels, silver or gold jewelry, and full hats or fascinators would suit you fantasticlly without overwhelming your height.

This photo is sort of bad quality, but I hope you at least get the gist of what I look like.

Blonde hair, 5'7", blue'ish green eyes, etc.

Oh, and since this photo, the underneath of my bangs have been dyed pink, instead of brown!

I love shiro lolita, but I don't know if I'd look good in white

Posting from my cell. I don't have many pictures of me on here

>>4956400
Shaynii, you're so beautiful

>>4956387
Mori lolita would look amazing on you, you've got that ethreal pixie look. Brands like axes femme and wonder rocket mixed with lolita brands like Innocent world.
Lav., peach and off white

>>4956414
joo have pretty eyes

>>4956424
Thank you!

>>4956414
White gothic would look perfect on you. h.naoto and that family of brands. You can tone down the starkness of the white with touches or jewel tones that would compliment your hair very well.

>>4956419
Thank you so much, but you're the beautiful one!

>>4956421
also this

>>4956129
Explain? Makeup retarded girl here.

This is me, pretty flabby and pale. Any ideas on colours?

>>4956436
Thank you! You have no idea how happy that makes me

>>4956438
You're sweet, thank you

>>4956453
You're the same size as me, if not a bit smaller.
If you're flabby...
My I must be fat. :I

Also, I'm 5' 1" and weigh between 115 and 120. You look to be about the same.

Sorry for the derpy picture.
I'm 5"9' so I am a bit tall., 130 pounds, with a c-cup.
Any tips to get my boobs in brand, or will it be to short for my height anyway?
(Whoopsie, forgot to resize the first time.)

>>4956463
5'4" and 115lbs. Seriously I'm flabby :( You might have more muscle than me.

>>4956471
Country style, colors red cream and green tones. With your height you can pull off cute layering looks (bustle skirts, aprons, shawls). invest in a white or cream underskirt to use with skirts that are too short or commision dresses to your height. Braided hairstyles or softly fuzzywaves would look fab.

I'll go. I've been into lolita for only a year and mostly stick to gothic but I'm thinking of branching out and trying another style too.

>>4956368
>>4956154
Why does no one suggest anything for my /cgl/ crush? ;-;

>>4956507
>trip falling off

>>4956497
Thank you! I will defiantly take your advice. I am just starting to seriously consider trying it out and I love country and classic.

>>4956400
I'd love to try sweet, since Vanilla-Chan is my dream print, but it'd be cool to get the opinions of some of you loltias before spending tons of money, haha!

>>4956491
I sit on my ass on 4chan all day.
No, I don't.

>>4956453
I know what anon means. basically, apply makeup and wash from the center of your face outward. and when washing, go in clockwise circles on the right and counterclockwise on the left. this helps in not tugging the skin and keeping it from being prematurely saggy.

contouring and highlighting is easily enough explained on youtube. at least, better than i could explain it.

>>4956498
Your really suit deep tones. I think tone on tone details (like flocked velvet or chiffon overlays) would look great, you could really pull off some intracate details. I'm think classic or darker toned hime.
this with a flower corsage, mini tiara (with your hair half up with ribbons) and boots.

>>4956446
>>4956421

Thank you! And thank you for suggesting those brands; I had never heard of them!

I'm 5'2 tall, have a natural caramel skin tone, DD chest and an average build. Purple fringe and dreads in shades of purple and blue down past my waist. Challenge accepted?

>>4956400
Older sweet, gery pink and mid tone blues. Bob wigs (not split tone) and simple haedpieces. You have delicate features not overload the details near you face go for intacate skirts with plainer bodices or cardigans.

Oh! This sounds interesting.
I guess I'll give it a try ~
I am 5'2 btw, lol.

>>4956400
Gosh you are so pretty ;__; !

>>4956551
Teal! Go for a-line dresses to flatter your bust line as well as tailored cardigans. Play up the fairy like colors in your hair with touches of jewel tone in your jewelry as well.

>>4956280
i like your face. like a lot.

how about classic? or maybe otome?

>>4956531
Thanks!

Here's a face pic in a wig. Along with
>>4956453
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Just out of curiosity since I have only ever cosplayed
Hair: Golden blonde
Eyes: Hazel
Height: 5'6
Weight: 120
Measurements: 34-23-34
I have a large chest though (D cup) so I don't know if that makes a difference. n_n

>>4956557
Sweet punk would be very cute. You can pull off brights, using balck as a accent color would suit you well.

I'm 5' 3" and I weigh 135. I'm working on my weight but I really wanna be a lolita. I'm also in love with the gothic style. Help?

>>4956586
Sage for forgetting pic. Dammit

>>4956603
Slate blue and mid greens maybe plums. i think you would look great in boatneck styles and a casual/lighter classic style. Simple hairstyles or maybe fishtail braids.

>>4956597
retro styled sweet or some of the classic looks excentrique brand does. Grey, peach and teal (not in the same outfits). Your bust shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hair worn up (a soft bun and braids maybe) or down half pulled back with light curls.

>>4956617
Thank you! That dress is absolutely lovely. I definitely go for classic. I do look ridiculous in most blouses because of wide shoulders, would I have the same problem with OPs, or just buy non-puffed sleeves?

>>4956575
Thanks! The pic is gorgeous, where's it from? Do you know how much it costs?

>>4956599
You look like an Innocent world model. if you like gothic you might try classic in darker colorways, a-line dresses flatter most figures. Lightly curled hair with intracate haedpeices (lace and flowers maybe) as well as patterned or detailed tights to create a darker look

5'5
Thin like a twig mostly
32-25-33
Wavy, light to medium brown hair (curl pattern is sorta messy)
Blue-green eyes
Fair skin
I've been interested in lolita for the longest time.

>>4956649
You might. Look for OPs with shirring on the sleeves so you can position them better or go for JSK and layer cadigans over or knitwear under.
>>4956666
It's Mary Magdalene from a few years ago. http://www.marymagdalene.jp/
There are also a lot of taobao shops doing this type of lolita at great prices.

>>4956677
Hime sweet, pale colors spring green, pink, soft blue. Go for dresses with bust details like ruffles or gathering. play up your natural curls or try an offset soft low bun. Soft floral accesories and chiffon. Brands like Princess Doll and some Angelic Pretty

>>4956692
AWESOME! Thanks again. I'm a n00b at this, what are toaboa shops, is it a brand or website etc ? What style would you say that was, so i can look for stuff myself?

>>4956741

>toaboa

>n00b

get the fuck out

>>4956741
No prob. :)
That dress is classic.
Taobao is like chinese ebay, a site made up of many different shops. It has become really popular with lolitas because they can do things like custom size garments and offer nice quality (for some of the shops at least) at much lower prices than brands.
There normally is at least one taobao thread on here as well as a few livejournal comms about the basics

thank you /cgl/ for teaching me how to paste 2 pictures together

the lighting in the picture is a weird sorry. but I do have red hair and I think I like bell shaped best, I don't think a-line is good for me.

I guess maybe this is kind of cheating because I am already in lolita, but here is what I looked like today. c:

My confession: I'm a pretty straightforward gothic lolita, but more and more I have been considering a dress in...lavender.

Alright, I'll bite :3

My actual skin colour is darker than this, but the light makes it a lot paler in this picture.

>>4957076
You're really cute:)

>>4955493
I think you'd look fantastic in classic, maybe Mary Magdalene in wine or navy.

not a lolita but i have been interested for a few years now.
here the most recent pic of me i have. my hair is black right now but i am going to start lightening it soon because it was only supposed to be dark brown haha

>>4956353
Th-thank you! N-not that adorable though, I look a bit silly.

>>4956365
Thank you for the advice! I love gothic lolita with dark green, glad to know I can pull it off!

>>4957775
I'm 5'2", 106lbs, usually pale skin with yellow undertones, got a slight tan from my recent holiday. This photo is from a good few months ago.

I would like some advice. I wanna try my hand at lolita.

most recent picture I have..... though i have jet black hair now :/

>>4956912
Ivory, plum, maybe dusky rose. I can see you body so no suggestions there. You look like you could pull of a lot of detail. Your hair would look lovely in soft curls or maybe a braided style with pearls.

>>4956994
A cool tone lavender would look wonderful on you. You could warm it up with touches of pink or rich yellow used away from your face (try a waist sash or overskirt). You would also suit punk very well, maybe the charmmy kitty set from Baby it would go great with the hair in your pic.

I'm curious to know too!

I'm 5'5, 54 kg

>>4957076
Otome would be adorable on you. Your features are soft but not too delicate so bold hair accesories would be great, berets or bold colored bows. Brands like Emily Temple Cute or some of angelic pretty. Warm pinks, white maybe some yellow. I think you would look great in all over prints or repeating band type prints. Soft ringlet for the ends of your hair (the last 4 inches or so) or lightly curled in end would be cute.

>>4957436
Sweet in darker colorways or Alice and the Pirates type outfits. Dark blue, metallics and touches of pastels away from your face. I think you would look really great in chiffon or prints with metallic accents. Soft hime style hair or worn down with lots of volume near the ends.

Now I want to know if what I wear matches what people think I should. XD 5'3'' 36-27-39.

>>4957775
Sweet or sweet colored classic. Pink, fawn, and sax blue. You would really suit the blouse (or knitwear) under a jsk look, if you want to wear cadigans pick an open weave knit one to not overwhelm your frame. Smaller hair accesories or try a straw hat for a country feel. If you want to wear your natural hair fluffed out curls would give a cute sweet look.
This with a shortsleeveed chiffon blouse and straw boater hat.

This thread is amazing! I'll bite!
I'm 5'7 and 115 lbs

>>4957787
Bright jewel tones also some warm peaches. Slightly more structered sweet looks or Ott classic. Soft waves or updos with volume, maybe look at getting a pair of clip in bangs for some looks.

>>4959105
Dolly kei influanced outfits would look amazing on you. Shops like grimoire or brands like exentrique or Victorian Maiden. If you want to do sweet pick colorways with more prominant colors. The way your hair is in the pic is very cute try it with more defined waves or brushed out for a soft look. Details like military frogs or fur (real or fake) would suit you wonderfully. Purple, copper, deep pink

>>4959202
Cool, thanks for the ideas! I'm more of a bright coloured person, but a dolly kei outfit once in a while will probably be really fun to wear!

>>4959126
sage greens, baby pink, and cream. Lighter tone classic or retro sweet. Flower corsages or small bonnets. You would look really cute in fairytale-ish details, white lace on solids, small capelets, overblushed cheeks and simple hair. brands Fairywish, puppyflower, and some of Baby and AP.

>>4959225

Huh! I never would have considered most of those. Usually I dress in very dark colors. It's definitely something to think about.

>>4959154
Bright pastels, seafoam, teal, maybe magenta. Hime looks would suit you very well or go the opotise with gothic looks (try adding a pop of color in somewhere so the black doesn't wash you out). Half up hair, keep some hair framing your face. make sure to check the length of your skirts. Lace tights and low heels would accentuate your legs without calling to much attention to your height. Brands Angelic Pretty, Princess Doll, La Parfait

for what it's worth, 5'8, 36-29-39

>>4959225

who is this by?? I love these colors please halp

>>4959213
You can add dolly kei elements to bright colors too, a few fun necklaces or interesting patterned tights, or a fur stole :)
This with a fur and a few golden necklaces

>>4959256
I'm not sure. It might be old (pre 2008) Emily Temple Cute or Shirley Temple.

>>4959272

thanks anon!

I wanna try! I've always liked lolita.

Nobody in this thread will benefit from wearing lolita. Just stay away and don't waste your time. Why would you aspire to look like a fucking freakshow?

>>4959254
Tailored classic, blazers, low heeled oxfords. Rose, brown, slate blue. if you want to wear your natural hair berets look cute and polished with short hair also small jeweled or detailed headbeands, for wigs go for something with face framing layers and mid volume. A-line dresses will really flatter your figure, a ribbon at the waistline can also be a nice touch (changing out the color can give a new look to an outfit)

>>4959279
I think F+F and a taobao brand (maybe dear celine?) have done similar dresses, with the cardsuit applique maybe not the collar detail.

>>4959309

Why the hell are you even on /cgl/?


ohtheirony.jpg

>>4959296
Fluffy pale tone sweet, chiffon, organza, and bustle skirts or go the whole other direction with deeper jewel tones deep blue and purple with tone on tone details. Soft curls for sweet and a low side bun with a silver clasp for gothic.

To laugh at you fools.

>>4959348
this is not a beauty contest

I'd considered getting into lolita but have never had the money for it until very recently. 5'5" and 111 lbs. My measurements are 33-27-36 I think.

>>4959348
fuck off.

>>4959598
What that person said.
I give everyone in this thread who posted themselves a solid gold star! You are all beautiful to me.

Bump because I actually like this thread.

>>4959348
People like you are why I was too scared to post.

Also complete WTF @ your ratings, I clicked them and I disagree entirely. Honestly the girls you gave lower scores to are the ones that stood out the most to me as really pretty (though I still think everyone in this thread looks nice overall). Beauty is subjective and all that, I guess.

... I've always wanted to have at least one lolita dress. When I drop all the weight I want to, my reward for myself will be a cheap lolita outfit. Probably from Bodyline, but still.

Ummm... I'm 5'4, 36DDD, and pretty damn chub. I have access to wigs if that helps at all.

>>4959544
Wine, sax blue, white. Thin headresses or smaller headbows. If you want to go for a wig go for all over curls and warn tone brown, black or burgundy.

>>4959573
Ivory, warm reds, deep green, golden tones. Full hats look very cute with short hair. I fyou want to go for a wig look for one with volume starting near the top. Your measurements are great for lolita.

Cool pastels. add volume to your hair if you want to wear your natural hair or a wig at least bust length with face framing layers. Choose tailored cardigans instead of blouses to flatter your figure.

Hm. Excuse the vest. I wanted to take a pic with it on. Haha. It makes me look fat though. This is probably most recent picture of me with my hair but my skin is a bit lighter now. Other pictures are me in costume.

I know she's already wearing loli, but advice anyway?

iirc her measurements are along the lines of 32-26-33, and she's 5'7

(posting on behalf of a friend)

>>4961364
Red, mid tone blues. Hair down brushed smooth with a headband and small bow for simple looks or curled and half pulled up for fancier outfits. You seem like you would suit sailor looks as well as sweet.

>>4961367
>>4961367
fuck! nude pls, shoop or real ?

>>4961413
Alright! Thank you for the help. I've been looking into lolita but I'm really not good at coordinating colors for myself.

>>4961367
The blue color and small side bow bith look great. I think cream as a base color might suit her better. Also most dusky pastels. Curling a few sections of hair would at interest and depth to the hair. I think plaid (in any style) would look really great.

>>4961440
Here are two blogs that have really cute styles that I think would suit you well, for insperation.
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/ku-ru-mi/
http://ameblo.jp/hime-rina/

>>4961443
Oh! Those are definitely cute. I'll follow the both of them. They're definitely a bit inspirational with the things they post too.

>>4961428
why would i have nudes of my best friend

Bump for suggestions for girls who have gotten none!

I find it really interesting how different this thread is from cosplay suggestion threads. Not much help going on. But I'll help!

>>4955415
Punk.

>>4955426
If you wore a wig, I'd say gothic, your eyeshape gave me that impression.

>>4955439
I really thought of the Alice in Wonderland inspired style, Alice style.

>>4955454
Gothic.

>>4955470
Classic.

>>4955493
Hime!

>>4955523
I think mostly classic, but if you put your hair in braided pigtails, country!

>>4955552
I thought a lot about pirate, for some reason...

>>4955568
I mostly thought gothic, but also sweet.

>>4955580
Your hair would make ouji cute, and your hips work for their knickerbockers!

Continued next post.

>>4955746
There is nothing wrong with your nose, you are very cute! I would say sweet or country! Maybe sailor!

>>4955790
Either classic, hime, shiro, or kuro.

>>4955812
Gothic.

>>4955815
For some reason I thought guro...

>>4956154
Country or sailor!

>>4956280
Sweet or gothic.

>>4956299
Classic.

>>4956333
If you got a wig, sweet. If not, punk.

>>4956334
Classic!

>>4956387
Goodness gracious you are pretty. Hime, country, or classic.

>>4956400
You're so pretty. I'd say you'd be best with sweet, but could also see you doing kuro, classic, and country.

>>4956414
I think you look better with darks. Kuro and gothic definately, maybe some pirate.

Continued.

>>4962798
Thats sort of what I always figured. Black seems to work on me.

Never though of pirate. That might be fun lol

Thanks, Bettan

>>4956471
SO. PRETTY. Definitely country, but also sweet and classic.

>>4956498
I'd mostly say punk, but gothic and pirate would also be cool.

>>4956551
Gothic or shiro. Is that your real hair? If so, wear a wig.

>>4956557
Classic, maybe sailor.

>>4956597
Kind of hard to see, but probably classic, gothic, or punk.

>>4956599
CLASSIC ALL THE WAY MAN. Maybe country too.

>>4956603
I think guro for some reason. You seem like the kind of person who would look all cool and stuff with things like bandages on their face.

>>4956677
Classic or sailor.

>>4956912
Country or classic, probably more country since that makes more sense for bell shaped.

Being called away, going to finish when I come back.

>>4962866
you hit my fav styles right on the head :3

>>4962866
Thank you :)

>>4962716
>>4955493 here, thank you for the suggestion. Would hime work with glasses? I'd never considered it before, but it could be fun, I do have a lot of hair...

>>4962798
>There is nothing wrong with your nose, you are very cute! I would say sweet or country! Maybe sailor!

Thank you! >u<\
I have a really hard time in pictures though to make it look less long. I avoid profiles like the plague.
And yes, I will definitely try sweet and sailor and maybe try classic again.
I'm really fond of sailor so I think that will be what I do next. X3
Thank you for your help! Do you have any colour suggestions? :3

Lolita is an endless mystery to me, so this should be interesting. 5'4"/135 pounds.

>>4962716
>>4955523 here....

Omg its like you're a mind reader I've always adored classic lolita & I think country just seems so cute and simple

> are you a wizard

WTFs going on in this thread?!? I've been mislead to believe /cgl/ is just overweight women and pimply men, when many of you are quite beautiful, devils workkkk!

>>4955568
the kawaiiest of them all.

>>4956994
Haha, as a gothloli you may shun this, but you'd be gorgeous in sweet, as well as classic.

>>4957076
Sailor, gothic, or sweet.

>>4957436
Gothic, maybe classic.

>>4957775
With a wig, sweet.

>>4957787
I'd say classic.

>>4959105
Alice, classic, or guro.

>>4959126
Gothic or classic. Maybe sailor, without glasses.

>>4959154
Hime! Definitely hime. Maybe Alice, too.

>>4959254
If you got a wig, guro.

>>4959296
Cute shiro! Would also be a good pirate!

>>4959544
Kuro.

>>4959573
Ouji.

>>4961364
Sweet.

>>4961367
Classic! Maybe Alice too.

And bumping mine for suggestions- >>4959999

If I forgot anyone, please tell me!

>>4962942
I think it would! Add an extra mature sort of flare.

>>4962949
Blues and navys, blacks, and maybe some light purple.

>>4962972
Hmmm, you look good in black. Gothic or kuro!

I'm very glad I made people here happy. You are all beautiful. <3

excuse the fugly pic. =P but the newest one i have..

give it a shot. i've begun to adora Kodona and i blame the segullolis.

I'll bite. I've done a visual kei-ish type cosplay before, but nothing full blown lolita. What colors/coords/brands do you guys think?

>>4963172
Country with maybe a classic twist. Go for a-line dresses to flatter your figure. Rust, wine, autum colors in general maybe with jewel tone accents.

>>4963174
I think you would look great in kodona and your hair suits it perfectly. Teal, black, pops of bold colors away from your face. I think full sized hats are very under used in boystyles they would really look great with your face shape.

>>4963206
I think you would really suit some of the soft gothic looks as well as classic. Cream, navy, silver accents.

>>4962972
Purple tones, cream, deep greens. sweet/classic. Your hair looks very cute in the pic and work well with boater hats.
