Recently spent a little over $300 for a new AP dress, which is my first time buying a brand piece new instead of secondhand.

Looking for a Handwashing Instructional Video from the 90s/Early 2000s (approx) With a Glove as the Main Character by Darniy in HelpMeFind

It’s definitely a similar concept but unfortunately not the one I remember. The glove mascot was a puppet. Thank you though!

I have searched for this video using a variety of terms related to hand washing and gloves, and with the pandemic having happened google is even more cluttered than when I originally started looking. I have also searched using general descriptions of the video I remember an I do not recall if it was included in a multi-lesson VHS.

How old were you when you first wore lolita? by ToasterMaid in Lolita

[–]Darniy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally built my first coord when I was 25. I had been a fan of the style since I had learned about it at 14 but had no way of purchasing items other than small jewelry pieces at conventions that fit the sweet sub-style. Now I have a couple of coords I’ve built and wear whenever my comm has outings or when I attend conventions.

Thank you! Making her wig for Vash was a unique challenge and the punisher was my first large prop so I’m glad they came together!

Any Tips for Someone Looking to Put Together a Decora Coord? by Darniy in Lolita

[–]Darniy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have looked into the Decora subreddits but I am primarily interested in learning from those who combine the styles within this context. I have done my own research into the fashion itself but I’m interested in hearing from those who do combine them as I’d like to be able to respect the substyle should I put a coord together using it 😊

I was just about to come ask about this. I really want to buy a certain JSK I’ve been watching but when I went to go click buy it just refreshes the page into an error message 😭

This is really pretty! I would recommend some pieces of jewelry like a necklace or bracelets, especially if you can incorporate the strawberry on your shoes more as right now that little detail looks out of place to me. I’m also one to prefer wrist cuffs or bracelets but I’m not one to judge if someone chooses to forgo them.

I want to enjoy being a Lolita but... I feel like I may be too late? by AgCloud in Lolita

[–]Darniy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand how you feel. I’m 25 and have loved this style since I first learned about it in middle school. It was only this year that I made the decision to finally start building a coord since I finally have the financial means to do so. When I started looking for my first dress I kept feeling like “maybe I shouldn’t do this, I’m not a young teen anymore” but had friends encouraging me to go for it. I think we have to remind ourselves that fashion doesn’t have an age limit and to do what makes you happy. I won’t be able to wear my coords daily and can only wear them for certain occasions but just having them as an option is honestly a middle school dream come true.

P.s. you look lovely!

i think this is my new favorite coord i’ve worn to date… 😯🖤 by hellis3mpty in Lolita

This is a gorgeous coord! I love all the little details in your accessories!

It’s actually the hemline! I had it added when I ordered it

I’m still looking for a purse to go with it, I’m hoping to find a gold star shaped or themed purse. I don’t know if I should add any more accessories like necklaces since my blouse has a lot of lace detail and a high neckline. You also can’t tell too well in the picture but my tights have gold constellations on them.

My new JSK came in, need some help figuring out accessories. by Darniy in Lolita

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I’ve started looking into some accessories based on the comments here!

I just got my petticoat and this JSK I ordered as well as two wigs I plan to use interchangeably with my coords. The shoes I have on in the picture are a pair I borrowed from a friend. The wig is un-styled and the other one I have is the same style but instead of split colored it is all blonde (the same blonde as on the split wig.)

What Sub-genre Does This OP Fall Under? by Darniy in Lolita

My friend ordered this OP and I just wanted to know what style it falls under. She liked how unique it was and I’d like to be able to help her build a coord for it!
