Lolita coat that doesn't cost the earth?

[zenie]

Humm you are looking at about £120 for a coat before tax and postage.

shame but thanks for looking

and ta Bearbot, I just like quirky clothes I think

*goes off to drool at AS's links*

Forbidden Planet seem to be stocking quite a few books about all this now. Even ones imported from Japan (not sure who is buying these if they can't read them).

 

[butterfly child]

why don't you just do a google for "lolita"?

I did, before I posted, couldn't find the site.

 

[Pieface]

I've learnt quite a lot on this thread

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

what can i say

when it comes to fashion i'm pure akiba style

Geek sheek with a fondness for maids.

don't worry, i wasn't thinking you were thick, it was one of my attempts at "humour", asking someone to google lolita. it all makes sense in my head, but doesn't often translate well to page.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I got it milesy. It's like asking someone to google skat jazz for music.

 

[milesy]

thanks Suplex. i'll PM you a pint.

Yeah.. I was careful to google "lolita clothing"

Its been years & years since I read the book but don't I remember that Lolita's dress style was several years older, not all little girly? So shouldn't a Lolita coat be a bit of sensible winter gear?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

the book is quite removed from the dress style

indeed the dress style is removed again from loloicon manga stuff... loligoth loli charactors arn't the main stay

actully i'm not sure of what point i'm trying to make


oh except that lolita style has nowt really to do with the lolita book ....

to be honest alice probably has more influence

It's a japanese version - sort of a mishmash of naughty schoolgirl/lolita/fantasy/sexual perversion

e2a shippy cleared it up for me

I want a Lolita coat like this

or this

But they're nearly 100 quid including postage

The price is so high, in order to act as a caution against anyone actually buying one.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

have you seen Shimotsuma Monogatari?

and what do you wear JC K-mart clothes?

Shippy - No I havent have you got the DVD?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

not that it's an acurate look into the lolita trend... it is afterall a comedy... but in that the look of the main charactor is said to be influenced by her love of the rococo era and is all about extravagene and luxury ... with a mix of the coquettish

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i downloaded it a while back

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

and what do you wear JC K-mart clothes?

If I find something good there.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

If I find something good there.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Five quid for a polo shirt. Fuck that.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

it's brand name!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

poro shiyatsu isn't though.

 

[zenie]

Quite liking these!

and even *more* disturbing but brilliant

 

[Madusa]

This thread is too complicated.

 

[BEARBOT]

dont buy pink! it will get dirty super fast(if you are wearing it outside)
how about the black one or red? how much ?

 

[zenie]

The coats vary from about 60-70 up to about 100 and then some of them have huge postage on top

*Looks at date and wishes payday would hurry up*

 

[vauxhallmum]

I'd prefer these though

Am officially in love
