r/Lolita

Today is my birthday! I’m wearing a coord inspired by my favorite character (Lilia Vanrouge from Twisted Wonderland) to celebrate turning 20 🦇💚🖤🩷

I wanted to share my experience with The Black Ribbon's Spring 2026 Lucky Pack.

This Lucky Pack was advertised as being back stock clearance and was made with some of the last items that TBR had in stock before tariffs impacted their pricing.

Rating:

Value: 4/5

The pack was advertised as containing a plain black skirt, a cutsew, a strawberry apron, OTKs, an accessory, and an enamel pin. The pack's base price was 140$, and with shipping that came out to be 170$.

All in all a great deal for the price! My only small complaint is that the bow is a bit small to be an accessory. Even without the bow though, the pack is a great value.

Quality: 4/5

I've been a TBR fan for a long time specifically for the quality, and they didn't disappoint here either.

The skirt is a light, linen feel fabric that will be great for summer! I was delighted to find that the skirt does have pockets like a lot of TBR's other releases.

The apron looks and feels great! the embroidery is high quality and well stitched, and the apron fabric is a thick cotton-poly blend (based on feel).

The cutsew feels lightweight and nice for summer as well, although the fabric is a bit thin. I will likely need to wear an undershirt with it. that being said I know it's hard to do a white jersey fabric that doesn't require an undershirt and that it would be a lot more expensive to make if TBR had gone that route.

Cohesiveness: 3/5

TBR marketed this as a clearance pack vs. an outfit pack and I think that was accurate. These pieces don't come together to make a full coord, but you definitely can mix and match a few. I think the skirt would go very well with the OTKs or the cutsew depending on how you made the rest of your coord. Pieces like the strawberry apron don't really match here, but I think it's a versatile piece that could fit pretty well into an average sweet wardrobe.

Overall: 4/5

I would definitely buy this again and I'll keep an eye out for more TBR Luck Packs!

Does anyone remember MC Melod¥ Doll?

Someone posted earlier about starting a Lolita band, and it got me thinking about other Lolita artists.

I vividly remember MC Melody Doll had a song with the lyrics “Vivienne, I’m talking Westwood- real rocking horse, not secret shop”.

Every single time I wear something VW this line gets stuck in my head. I have listened to some of her songs recently to see if I can find that lyric but no luck.

Can anyone advise? I may just be being inattentive, but I may also have slipped into an alternate reality where I made up potentially one of the most zef Lolita lyrics ever spoken.

Wearing comfy shoes cause that's a bit more important than the aesthetic. Still think it ended up looking good. Even got a compliment.

Hai all!!! My best friend has been AP Jacquard whip!! Im so glad to own these pieces now>_< Not too long ago I was exclusively taobao because I was worried about brand not fitting me for some reason lol- wish I had more than 2 days a week to go out and dress up :')

Preferably no unwanted concrit, but I want advice for what blouse to use for my Royal Melty Choco jsk in bitter!! What are your thoughts>_<

Im thinking about getting the Gothic version of this. it would be for the bassist of the band. I modeled for night whisper Lolita for the anime boston convention. Hoping to start a band with other lolitas! Im open to collaborating!

I’m new to Lolita, I might buy this JSK and I’m working on creating a coord. This is Astrologers Mysterious Sanctum by Citanul sub brand of Krad Lanrete, which I believe specializes in mostly classic and gothic. I can’t tell whether this counts as classic or not

Hello! I figured this would be a good place to ask for this in my time of need.

I'm drawing a character that has an apron sort of like the ones I attached, and I'm drawing a turn around of her and I'm having a hard time drawing the frills from the side!!

If you have an apron that looks sort of like this, that has this shorter lower part and the frills on the shoulders, could you please take a picture of how it'd look on your side profile when you wear it?

Drawing attached at the end cause I know this is a somewhat unusual request! lol

Hiya, I recently made my first taobao order and bought the white skirt and pink jsk but received an order update I didn’t realise it was a deposit order 🥲

Also,

What is a tailgate item?

How do I know how much the full amount will be?

Where do I find the deposit order number?
