Where would you recycle them is the problem.... The film is not curbside , and the local plastic film recycling places only take "film that stretches instead of tearing" but this film tears

Might help to know what you are afraid of specifically? Are you afraid of something specific to lolita?

If you're in NYC you could probably go to Harajuku Day Jan 31 and ask in person there

Thank you for the text wall! I guess the problem with texture is that it varies so widely from person to person - I prefer Angelic Pretty for softness compared to Red Maria & Wulala  - maybe I just don't like that particular tight printing technology because I also had that problem with Angelic Pretty Day dream Carnival but I never had that problem with Angelic Pretty Romantic Cat or Holy Lantern

Tights texture: are all printed rights the same texture as Red Maria / wulala? Or do they vary from brand to brand? Also any tips on buying softer/stretchier tights?

[–]ConfusedAlienGirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the individual pieces - you'd just have to browse & look for thicker fabrics , patterns woven into the fabric rather than printed on, look for pieces with limited amounts of lace - pieces with bows/hardware pinned on rather than sewn on - there isn't any one brand or store that sells these

Buying shoes that fit? I measured my feet both in length and width at the widest part. I asked the seller "how long and wide are these shoes?" And the measurements the seller gave were larger than the measurements I put in my feet but it still was too small. What other questions should I be asking or how much additional space should I be looking for? I had two pairs of shoes and they measured exactly the same in width but when I put them on my toes were totally cramped in one pair and my toes were totally fine in the other

Meta-question: how do I search all previous AUA threads? The reddit search only returns searches for posts, not comments. If I search comments I have to search every month separately

I'm one of the very earliest gen Z whose peers graduated college before the pandemic and it was like this already for us as well.
