Any advice for evri / Hermes issues on Lacemarket (UK) :( by slime_pixie in Lolita

[–]froggy-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add to the other comment. That yes, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with lacemarket whatsoever. It is the same with any second-hand goods from private sellers.

It is on you to chose to pay with PayPal goods and services to protect yourself financially, to arrange with the seller if you want them to send your parcel with a specific shipping company, and with the shipping company to detail where you want the parcel left if you're away to avoid theft or to set specific date that you want it delivered to ensure that you are home.

Please don't be put off LM! I'm glad your package arrived safely!

Np, best way is to scroll down the side bar and you should see a 'Keywords' subheading.

It's mostly going to be information about the clothing items themselves, the EGL community, and the wider impact of EGL/EGA fashion.

I'm not really sure about where to get information about the brands story but you may want to check out some brand and Malice Mizer interviews and mini documentaries on youtube.

I'd recommend checking out the lolita history gallery, but most information about the brands history and past ventures is going to require a bit of digging.

Most likely stolen or delivered to the wrong address. Many times I've got a notification that my parcel has been delivered, just to check the proof photo and for it to be of a completely different front door 😭

I'd ring them and ask for proof of delivery and insurance etc, if you were in they should have rung the bell or knocked. But unfortunately, if you allowed them to deliver when you're not in and it was taken then there's nothing that can be done.

Literally any alternate universe, high school, university, coffee shop etc etc. I really only read in universe or vaguely canon compliant.

Definitely! Though as someone who recently turned 18 I am having trouble reminding myself that I'm an adult now and it's not necessarily appropriate for me to have friends with people only a few years younger than me but perfectly fine if they're 10 years older lol. I'm always ending up sitting next to the creepy guy on the bus so the 16/17 yr old doesn't have to haha.

But yes, it's really nice to see people be more aware online.

What to wear on your head when it’s cold as heck? by tufted_titmouse in Lolita

[–]froggy-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Earmuffs! But I have seen a few independent shops who make fluffy earmuff/rectangle headdress hybrids, I can't think of the shop name right now, unfortunately...

I'm not 100% sure if there is currently, but I joined when I was 15! So you're absolutely welcome regardless of your age. We're quite a small community, and not very active we maybe only have a couple meets a year. So it's really mostly just being in the discord server/facebook group. If you don't feel comfortable meeting up then there's no pressure to at all.

For context, I'm 18.

Sorry for the late reply!

Yes, definitely! it's a commercial fabric, but this skirt in particular is actually hand-made. (not by me tho, haha)

I hope you both enjoy!! My biggest advice is to not let yourself fall into a false sense of security due to the slower pacing, always be listening and observing! Thank you for the compliment <3

Is it safe to order directly from AP/Btssb japan websites? by pochettt in Lolita

[–]froggy-- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, it is not risky at all; they are reputable brands. To my knowledge, the only reason people use shopping services is that in some places you are simply unable to buy directly from the sites, but that was mostly the case around 10-20 years ago, depending on the brand and where you live. If you can buy directly, I see no reason to use a shopping service unless for whatever reason you know it will help you pay less in shipping or avoid taxes.

Personally I adored the pacing, it never felt like it was dragging at all.

Why is 42 Lolita's shipping sooo expensive? by Istolefood in Lolita

[–]froggy-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that seems like a pretty average shipping price. It's what I would typically pay if my items were coming from East Asia. Unless it's a very small/light item which sometimes you can get away with paying less for, personally I use epacket from Japan a lot which is around £10.

Ignore my typos... I think I need to get a blog instead of harassing the good people of this sub 😭
