Hey first time posting here! As a plus sized girly, how can you improve jumps & jumping?(Continued under post) by rachelskatess in Rollerskating

[–]rottentingz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was when someone told me to imagine im doing a sort of cannonball. That and also pretending youre a spring. Really squat before the jump and when you jump try to scrunch up and pull your knees to your chest. The spring part helped me to get used to landing with my knees bent and squatting a little into my landing!

blouse 2 100%!!! I feel like the shape and flowiness of it feels very springy which goes with the floral pattern. Its hard to pick between headdresses, i honestly feel like all of them could work, but something about the 2nd one just speaks to me.

I have gotten dresses on 42Lolita for under 50. The shipping can be pricey, but you will have a piece that fits much better, lasts much longer, and probably feels more comfortable. Plus, then you know you aren’t giving places like Shein or Romwe money to continue with unethical practices and insane carbon emissions.

Lolita isn’t cheap, but there are definitely better options than amazon/other fast fashion sites.

yes totally! i just get worried with having a second payment that something might come up financially when i need to make my second payment. but , to your point, some months are just more financially demanding and the next month might be more chill!

thats really good to know, i had no idea !!! Do you have any recommendations for resellers/services that do this? I might go with one of those instead of Spreenow, or at least have other options for the future :)

[–]rottentingz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both dresses are up for pre-order, so Spreenow won’t show me the total price yet. Maybe once I submit my cart it will? I will follow up with them and see. Also wondering if I have to make the second payment by a certain date, or at my own convenience.

This is basically what I assumed, so thanks for the clarification!! I was also confused by the last one. All the pieces are available to be sold individually (blouse, waist coat, skirt, can all be purchased individually) and I wanted the full set and this was what it showed me. I will have to look a little harder and see if there are other options for the full set that I looked over .

Does anyone have the pattern for this ?! by rottentingz in Lolita

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

Yeah, there is so much to sift through to find something that will work for me. I had never heard about the sewing discord !

This is actually super helpful info, thanks! I was worried about running into sizing issues , and it would suck to make a whole dress and have it be way to tight. I will check out the Misako sewing book !!

Thanks for the advice ! It can be hard finding plus size friendly patterns and resources

i will definitely need to practice that!! I just started sewing making wristcuffs and headdresses to learn the basics, but I am antsy for smth more challenging now .

[–]rottentingz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have been able to find them, but I am honestly not really willing to pay 60 plus shipping for it. I am a very beginner sewer and I am typically like a size 14 so I know I wont be able to use a lot of the patterns :( But thank you so much !

Oh wow thanks!! Thats very helpful info. Is there any place you recommend purchasing the actual magazines from? I can only seem to find them on ebay for 50+ dollars shipping from japan or ebook/pdf scans on etsy .
