The anatomy of a JD hime gyaru code

Heya Bunnies!

Today I want to shortly talk about how to code a jd hime gyaru outfit...of course it also works for any other elegant princess dress besides jd.

The dress has to be a JSK or be a dress with straps..Usually those dresses are over the knee-length or mini dresses. 

☆

Either you wear a bolero or a cardigan. Mostly they end at the waist. This one is a JD bolero with ruffles on its shoulders. You can also close the first button on the top of it, and only the first one. We want to show off our dress💕

☆

The bag: For hime either you go the luxurious way and get a quilted handbag/tote in either a shiny leather or metallic color...or you choose a big my melody tote like I did💕

Shoes: the best way is to match your shoecolor with the color of your bolero. It's also possible to wear just black plain heels, but it has to look tidy.

You can also wear flats if you don't want to wear heels.

Don't forget to wear tights. Either in nude/black or with a thin print like roses, dots or hearts etc.

☆

A pretty princess always wears a beautiful pearl necklace around her throat. I like to match the length with the decolleté of my dress. I don't want too much skin showing, neither look like I am choking myself. I like to find a middle way.

☆

For the hair you can either accessorize it with a tiara, some hairclips (with pearls for example) or a decent hairbow. For a JD-outfit avoid wearing decobows with tons of laces and pearls etc.

The hair is always done up tidy, mostly in curls.

☆

I hope that was helpful.

Please remember that there are many ways to look hime and this is only an example of how to wear JD.

Reiwa Hime: Selkie

Heyyaa Bunnies!

Mostly nowadays everything hime gyaru buy is secondhand, because hime gyaru is a dead style in japan unfortunately.

I am glad Jesus Diamante still exists, however as I mentioned in my Jesus Diamante Sizing post...if you are a Size M the biggest size already might be too small. 

Also I personally think that we shouldn't limit ourselves and our creativity by only copying old outfits and not allowing us to evolve.

Maybe that's why hime gyaru doesn't make a comeback?

There are no new brands and they are not size-friendly...

So I want to try out new brands that are suitable for hime gyaru and most possibly available in bigger sizes as well.

One of these is Selkie!

I had my eyes on this brand for almost three years now I guess. I remember when it just got opened...now it became such a big business.

The dresses are a lil pricey, so I never could get some. It gets hyped so much on instagram right now, that I treated myself and finally ordered.

And it breaks my heart that I did not like it.

Maybe I was just not lucky?

I ordered two dresses, however only one arrived and they sent me the message that one was not possible to send...on the exact date I received the parcel.

After I send them a mail they said it got sold out. 

I am kinda mad that it was available on the online shop and I did not know I won't receive it until I got the parcel.

The other dress however...

It doesn't suit me at all.

Hime gyaru love big dresses which are fluffy and maybe have multiple layers...

But this dress makes YOU LOOK BIG.

It doesn't look like a big gown but more like a black potatoe sack.

I wanted to get a longer dress because I thought it would look more elegant and the shorter ones might look big on me, because I have big calves..

However it didn't work out.

Apparently the fabrics are only allowed to be dry-cleaned...and it' s thin...

It's see-through...I had to wear a shirt under it.

And the fabrics on the sleeves felt so scratchy...

It's uncomfortable to wear...I hate the sleeves because of this.

I was so devastated...

How could everyone be happy with their dresses and it was such a disaster for me?

What I liked until now was that Selkie had so many Sizes...I remember they offered sizes up to 2XL.

Maybe if you want to try it out, you can go ahead.

Will I buy from Selkie again?

Probably not.
