The EGL Community

I've been around Lolita for a while now, though I am not the most active. It seems to me lately there has been some confusion over acceptable skirt length in lolita, as evidenced by the most recent loli_secrets. While debating it with some other users over there in the comments, I decided it would be better if I actually asked here instead.

I don't think there's any sort of magical loli-guru who gets to decide what is or isn't lolita, but it's really more of a consensus from the community. When there are any cultural changes, from fashion to language, it's usually because it has an influence over the majority in that culture.

My personal belief is that anything more than a few inches above the knee would be considered more ero, but anything above mid thigh should be right out. What do you guys think?

 I was wondering if anybody lives in the Orange County of California by Irvine.
I have pretty much no friends and  am new to lolita and was wondering if I planned a meetup in the Irvine Spectrum if people would enjoy good company.

Recently, I saw a detachable collar for sale on the comm_sales and looked up some posts about it, which all basically said they were rather obsolete, and major brands don't sell them a la carte anymore. But if they're floating around, then maybe there's a hope that they'll be reintroduced?!

So, does anyone know where can I find some to buy? Or commission, if possible?

Any Lolitas that live in Cameron County in Texas? Specifically nearby McAllen or Brownsville?

 It might just be my internet or something, but I just opened daily_lolita and it says "This image or video has been deleted". Was this accidental, perhaps? A layout malfunction?

^^ just decided to post some hair bows i made and my hello kitty piggy bank? idk why i put that in the picture haha ah well here you go

 I'm trying to set up a UK based digital textile printing company (I'd also be able to have fabrics delivered to people within the EU) similar to companies like Spoonflower and Fabric on Demand.
I'm currently in the process of applying for business loans and start up grants, but I need some market research to say weather or not people would be interested in a service like that on this side of the world (one of my main reasons for wanting to set this up in the first place is to minimise the postage and possible customs fees people in the EU currently have to pay to order custom fabrics), and having seen how popular Spoonflower and FOD are with Lolitas who make their own clothing, or have small inde brands I decided to ask the EU based Lolitas of the comm for your help in this.

Hey! I'm a relatively young (13 years old) lolita aiming for a very sweet look. I don't have a full coord yet as I've gotten into the fashion very recently. I have an AP Marchen Ribbon (white/pink) JSK, a Marchen Ribbon white/pink hair bow (side-bow? Alice bow? haha), a Candy Violet short fluffy petti (it just arrived today-- omg it gives my jsk SO MUCH POOF, I wore just the jsk and some pink kneesocks and black Mary Janes and the bow out for a quick errand. I just felt so PRETTY even though the outfit wasn't very coordinated, haha, I PLAN TO FIX THIS) and some white kneesocks and pink over-knee socks. I'm going to go thrifting for blouses tomorrow and I'm sure white Mary Janes can't be THAT  hard to find.

But, I'm wondering-- just general tips for a coord with a Marchen Ribbon JSK? I want it to be REALLY SWEET, like over the top sweet haha. If it helps for hair accessories, I have short blond hair. And any other dresses or things you could recommend for a sweet lolita trying to figure out what's what in the style? I already know stuff like super-puffy skirts are great, it's best to use light/pastel colors, cute prints, etc. but any further tips or info would be great. I'm not really sure I want to wear a wig on a daily basis, though. Oh! Oh! Makeup tips would help too! Thanks so much! Sorry if this was tl;dr or rambly. ♥

This was the first time I bought a Lucky Pack. I had to give it a try since I love the LP posts on EGL ;) I'm always excited to see what other people got in their packs and I hoped to get a nice blouse and some accessories I could use for my outfits.

Who else that is following the Baby San Francisco has seen this?

I am quite certain that I've seen that logo before and will feel a complete fool when someone else says, "oh yeah, that's ---- brand" but I can't figure out what it is and google doesn't help much when all I have is an image.
