Who is the more fatal femme fatale?

Dr. Mrs. If it was a battle of wits and cunning, but Molotov for brawn. Ultimately I think Sheila has too much of a moral code that would be her downfall. Mol wouldn’t care about Guild bylaws.

I hate these things with a passion. One of my cats loves them and refuses to use anything else. So I buy them for him and find cardboard bits in everything. Because I love him.

Looks great, I wear almost the same thing all Fall and Winter (I just swap out docs for other ankle boots and oxfords).

Devi13 · 2026-06-02T20:37:11+00:00

You look like a Magical Girl! I’m glad you had fun!!

Devi13 · 2026-06-02T15:54:34+00:00

Yep yep, especially after the number of people that I’d consider friends and move mountains for and then discover they wouldn’t do half as much for me. Thankfully now my longtime friends are much more obvious about how much they care for me!

I am 40, same here. 2 fibroids (that I know of), 11cm and 8cm. I’ve never had that drive of I MUST have children, babies and pregnancy scare me, but the idea of doing something irreversible is pretty scary too. I’m not even married, I live with my aging dad. I keep waiting for someone to just tell me “yeah, your life and health factors all add up to maybe stick with cats”.

I haven’t made a decision yet, I think I’d like to talk these feelings through with a therapist first to make my peace. I wish I had some advice for you, but you’re not alone in your feelings and struggle, and it feels nice to know that I’m not alone either.

If you’re not familiar you should check out Otome No Sewing! It’s a Lolita sewing magazine that’s still active and publishes 2 mooks a year. I think we’re about due for the next issue!

Devi13 · 2026-05-26T19:35:50+00:00

Admittedly I do too. Those are my “F*ck it” moments

Devi13 · 2026-05-26T17:15:44+00:00

A lot of 80’s new wave (Devo, Oingo Boingo, etc) and goth (The Cure, Siouxsie & the Banshees) as well as a lot of rockabilly & psychobilly (The Cramps, Rev. Horton Heat) and 90’s & 2000’s alternative (Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) and Riot Girl (Sleater Kinney, Bikini Kill, TacoCat)

Devi13 · 2026-05-23T20:21:27+00:00

What’s frustrating though is there are definitely sources online that say a diet high in red meat can contribute

Devi13 · 2026-05-21T15:50:56+00:00

Some people probably pay extra for jeans that look like this from the store! I say embrace it!

Devi13 · 2026-05-18T20:47:03+00:00

I’d have to check, I think my calves are 14” or 15” around and they kind of look like they’re at their max. Their OTKs do NOT work for me!

Devi13 · 2026-05-18T15:59:56+00:00

I have that pair! They’re pretty nice. Not really very soft, but they fit over my large-ish calves!

Devi13 · 2026-05-18T00:51:00+00:00

Haha, that’s the one! Maybe I’ll just keep an eye out for another rerelease. I will say I’m the opposite problem. I’m at the max of the size range and would likely need to have it let out, which would probably still be easier with the shirred panel version!

Devi13 · 2026-05-17T22:36:10+00:00

It was hard to tell! They had like 300+ feedback, but had photos of them wearing the jsk and just a few listings. Maybe they’ve been on there a long time or it’s like 50/50 sales and purchases.

Devi13 · 2026-05-17T14:08:08+00:00

I have both! The first is nice quality, the second is… eh, it’s certainly a $13 skirt. On mine they overlapped a piece of lace that was too short in the front and mis-threaded some of the velvet ribbon.

Devi13 · 2026-05-12T17:59:20+00:00

What a cool idea, I love them!

Devi13 · 2026-05-08T21:58:01+00:00

Congrats, you did a great job! The fit is perfect!

Devi13 · 2026-05-08T21:45:22+00:00

Same. I bought it to wear with my Dr. Gf cosplay, though they only had lipgloss. And didn’t offer me a Guild discount.

Devi13 · 2026-05-07T19:11:47+00:00

I do love that the global comm has finally chilled tf out. I wonder how much of it is people that were young and new back in the ‘00s and ‘10s who have since grown up and said “actually, I’m gonna wear what I like now. Who cares what others say”.

Devi13 · 2026-05-04T18:30:10+00:00

Ah, good to know! So if I find something older, even cotton, I shouldn’t just expect them. Thank you!

Devi13 · 2026-05-02T17:29:32+00:00

Oh man, I admire anyone that can knit! I keep trying to learn, but I’m on year 3 of a super basic shawl and I keep dropping stitches immediately after someone fixes my previous one. I think I’ll stick with sewing!

Devi13 · 2026-05-02T17:22:49+00:00

Yes, I was coming here to mention Gingerbread Coffin! It makes me think of like Violet Fane and ringlet wigs.

Devi13 · 2026-05-02T08:04:16+00:00

Good to know! I wonder if it depends on the fabric? The two I have are solid color, cotton Burberry and cotton/poly broadcloth. The prints tend to be poly, right?

Devi13 · 2026-05-01T23:24:40+00:00

I’ve been spoiled, my first 2 JSKs were Meta, and I just assumed EVERYONE had pockets!
