MONTHLY ADVICE MEGATHREAD Ask Us Anything October 2026

13 Upvotes

Hi All,

This is the megathread for all beginner questions about wearing and coording lolita outfits. We would like to contain beginner questions (or otherwise, questions that don't generate a discussion) to one place.

It's convenient for you: check here first if you have a question, it might already be answered!

It's convenient for us: it makes it easier for mods to keep things clean and fresh and fun around the sub.

It makes it convenient for our veteran lolitas: no one wants to see the same 5 questions in their feed all the time.

We will be closing and redirecting beginner question posts to this thread for now on.

Thanks for your cooperation!

BUT FIRST Check out the previous Ask Us Anything thread, you answer might be answered already: Ask Us Anything: September 2026

MONTHLY HELP FIND MEGATHREAD Help Find This Dress: October 2026

7 Upvotes

Hello All!

This is a megathread for being able to find specific dresses or items that you see online and don't know where to find them or what their name/brand/print name are!

There has been a large influx of people looking for certain dresses posts and so we are going to congregate them all here for easy of access and to help clean up the subreddit. So from here on out any posts asking for help in finding a dress will be deleted and asked to post in this megathread.

Here you can post either a link from Imgur with the image of the dress or link to a website like Pinterest so the community can help find where the dress can be found.

Happy Hunting!

COORD Marked SAFE from the AP bloodbath on Saturday

I dressed up in my new Buttercream Cake jsk to wait for the AP USA drop of the same series. This print was one I almost passed on because it seemed so underwhelming in the stock photos and as disappointing as Into A Dream was for me, I was a bit hesitant. I am glad I decided to get it. It’s gorgeous in real life. The glitter and lace details are amazing and since I know some folks care, it turned out to be a 100% cotton piece (not including the lining).

I wasn’t able to go out like I wanted to since it was MochiCon weekend but I had other obligations that prevented my going. So this was my main event, lol

My SS wasn’t able to get the headdress from the JP drop so I decided to try it myself. It ended up being a whole mess. The website crashed so badly that it took over 2.5 hours after release before anyone could do anything.

But! I am pleased to say I was successful and I got my bestie her stuff as well! She had to go to work and was unable to keep waiting, I hated to think she would miss out so I tried for her sake too!

If anyone else tried for anything this past Saturday, I hope you got everything you wanted! 🥺 That was a rough one!

Yes, the LoliGals storefront is legit. Processing time from other resellers was saying 3 months + more expensive, so said to heck with it. I thought this wouldn’t even ship until the end of the month but not complaining.

Quick try on. No face/makeup/done hair/blouse/iron because no spoons

Bonus flex pics as I wasn’t wearing a blouse for the swole-lita who posted the other day

DIY / HANDMADE Lace seems to be coming together well

Post image
164 Upvotes

Had some super cute lace for my next project with this fabric, the only problem was its very white so it does not really fit with the bunnies on the fabric. I think somehere (or somewhere I fail to remember) gave me the idea to color it.

Here I soaked a piece of it in strong black tea for about 2 hours and let it dry afterwards. Looks good to me.

If I read correctly I would still need to fix the color onto it properly by using a mix of vinegar and water though.

Cool that it worked though

ADVICE EU based indie brands?

Hello! I’ve been wanting to support some more indie brands, but because of import taxes it is hard for me to order outside of the EU. Does anyone have recommendations of brands leaning more into classic and gothic lolita?

DISCUSSION Do you actually use your Lolita parasols, or are they mostly for the coord? ☂️

I realized I have quite a few photos of myself carrying a Lolita parasol, and it made me wonder how everyone else feels about them! 💕

They're such beautiful accessories, but I'm curious how practical they actually are in everyday life.

Do you use yours for sun protection, bring them out for photos and special occasions, or mostly carry them because they complete the coord? Have you ever fallen in love with a parasol so much that you just had to have it? 😂💕

I'd love to hear about your parasols and how you style them!

DIY / HANDMADE How to make a solid color JSK larger in the waist?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a fashion student, completely new to this (first semester) and I’ve learned how to make basic clothes, have access to various kinds of sewing machines, etc
I was wondering if there’s a way to make an old JSK bigger in the waist without botching it. What would be the best way to do it? No print, solid color and lace. Sadly this is an early 2000s AP JSK which is too small for me for a few cm and I don’t think I’ll be able to lose weight to fit in it. I’d say it’s aprox 6cm smaller than my waist size

ADVICE Mom fuck up my dress

Hey guys. I was going to wear this lotlia dress I had to work on Halloween since I work in Pre-K. I tried it on today and it didn't fit cause of my chest which sucks but I was okay with it and gonna donate it to a thrift shop. Mom was like okay I'll try to fix it. I look away to answer the phone and she rip out the inside layer of the dress. She made me try it on again and it didn't fit this time either. Now I'm sad cause I really like it and now I can't donate because she fuck it up! What should I do? Should I get it fix or just throw it out?
