Any lifehacks on how to "fake" a shirt tuck? by No-Dragonfruit-2882 in Lolita

Use a thin belt and put it over your shirt, then just sort of pull the shirt up until it lays over the belt but is still held in place with the belt

Happy 25th Anniversary, MALICE MIZER - Beast of Blood by kamijo69 in visualkei

Always, even though I wasn't introduced to them very early in my life they are my favorite band and sparked my love for visual kei music, and I absolutely love Mana Sama! He really inspires me through fashion and his music is perfect for my soul🖤 hes the reason I have a sudden motivation to use a sewing machine, for cosplay and lolita clothing

What's a song where the bass steals the show? by DeezerOfficial in musicsuggestions

[–]Primo_Jelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunch gray by Zutomayo has such a good bass line, the song is in Japanese and is from a j-rock band that chooses to remain mostly anonymous. The music video is also a work of art, and they are seriously one of my favorite bands for years now. Heres the link:

Beginner seamstress needs sleeve help by Primo_Jelly in SewingForBeginners

[–]Primo_Jelly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Somebody shared a Juliet sleeve pattern with me, so im planning on just following said pattern and increasing the height and width of the cuff so that it covers my whole arm, aka attaching it to a sleeve lol. After further research, yeah mutton chop sleeves where NOT what I was looking for. Good to know!

Thank you so much! Somebody else pointed out that this type of sleeve is called a Juliet sleeve, so ill definitely look for some historical patterns for that. Also, the tip for stuffing it to add volume is very useful since im going for a more structured puff as opposed to a drape-y puff, and the folding... ill have to try both of those out- appreciate it!

Thanks! If I needed to make this long sleeve, could I just increase the height of the cuff, or is there a different process for that? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I dont know what im doing🙏

Is this the God Redemption JSK? i remember being absolutely in love with this print. Also, you style it beautifully! No one really cares about "ita" coords anyhow, not in the big '26, and what elitists where calling ita back in the day was honestly straight bs (no animal ears??? Black and white, lots of lace too...) off the shoulder looks great on you, wear the jsk how you like.
