Someone has to pick up where we leave off, personally I love that extra frilly, "I'm a sissy look" they show.
-
Yep. It all started over a decade ago in Japan. They called it "Japanese Gothic" although it had nothing to do with American or European Gothic styles & music... More related to the Japanese Cosplay scene, where girls wanted to dress like old fashioned little girls. Interestingly, it made the girls attractive to many men there.
I found out about it from a post here back then called, "Hope this is coming to America" (but I can't remember who posted it). Well, it did, after a few years.
Back then, those outfits were homemade, because off the shelf girls outfits were no longer frilly enough since the 1990s, & sissy outfits from the custom shops were too expensive for most young people (in their teens to 20s). Eventually the trend got some support on the west coast of the USA too, & was re-named Japanese Lolita.
As the trend got more popular eventually some shops (mostly Chinese) started mass-producing the outfits at a more reasonable price than custom sissy shops. That made the trend even more popular because it was now as affordable as Cosplay, if they didn't know how to sew or didn't have the time to make their own outfits.
When I had the fire & lost everything, including a lifetime's collection of beautiful outfits & kinky stuff, it didn't take long before this transvestite's urge for a pretty dress was desperate. By that time there was very little pretty girl's dresses, & almost no extra frilly dresses available in stores in girls size 14 or above. But as low as $10-$25 a dress I bought girls store dresses & stuff rather than have nothing. Not very frilly though.
It didn't satisfy me much, they weren't as fun as most of my large collection that I lost. Finally Milanoo started selling a large variety of Japanese Lolita dresses in my & adult sizes. So I got a few for an average of only $56 each. Most people are afraid to order stuff from China, but I knew Milanoo was trustworthy, because they were already getting rave reviews from the USA & the rest of the world. I had already bought LED lighting from a Chinese firm, so I knew not all Chinese companies are bad. A high brightness tactical LED flashlight for $60 here can be bought there for $16 there, & shipping cost was pocket change. Most Apple products come from China.
The shipping takes longer though because it sits at USA customs forever until they release it to go on it's way.
Milanoo was the first to carry a very large variety of Japanese Lolita dresses cheap, & ship them all over the world. Word spread fast through here at Betty's & others about them.
Eventually you could get the dresses from several sources, although many of those sources still use Milanoo as their source.
As people worldwide started wearing them, the Japanese name has been dropped. We just call them Lolita Dresses now.
By that time they caught the eye of younger men & boys who liked frillier styles. Really frilly stuff was hard to find in their size in regular stores, & the sissy shops were still unaffordable to most young people for the prettiest stuff.
The Lolita outfits also had the advantage of being related to Cosplay, so were considered costumes rather than just dresses. So they can prance around in them without admitting to themselves that they are a sissy, & most people wouldn't suspect they were a real crossdresser or transvestite... it was just a costume (LOL).
Of course here at Betty's we know better. If you like to wear real frilly girly stuff, you are a real sissy.
A really cute kid in Lolita dresses, who's screen name was "Deer Antlers" & "Deer Prince" started spreading the term "Brolita" for brother Lolita. In sissy circles it came to mean Boy Lolita, a male in Lolita & sissy fashion.
Since then, an offshoot of the trend came about. We used to call frilly, fancy, or silky boy outfits (no dresses) "Lord Fauntleroy", Fauntleroy, or Paige Boy outfits in sissy communities. In the 21st century it's an offshoot of the Lolita trend, & is called Kodona, Ouji, or Harajuku... Japanese terms. More recently it's being redefined in English terms as, aristocrat, prince, boystyle, anime boy, pirate, cosplay, or boy victorian. But it's more common to still use the Japanese terms.
In the old days it was simpler. We just called it Fauntleroy, instead of thinking up almost 10 different names for the same thing... It's a frilly sissy in pants or bloomers instead of a dress.
Anywho, they're starting to mass produce these Kodona, or Fauntleroy outfits too, for guys & girls. If I could afford it, I'd have a few Fauntleroy outfits by now. But I like frilly dresses better, so I had to set my priorities for what I could afford after the fire.
There is a disturbing trend recently, much to my disappointment to make Lolita dresses more Gothic, Victorian, or vampire-like to please the American market. Although I can like a Victorian dress, this not along the lines of the original Japanese & was coast Lolita trend, which was to dress like a young girl in frilly stuff. Japanese Lolita, & American Gothic, or Victorian is not the same thing but here in the USA they're starting to ruin it by blending them all together as a single Lolita fashion... which they are not.

This is as Brolita as I can get with my collection. Dress is from Unikaren, panties from e-Bay, petticoat is a girl size from a square dance shop and strap shoes from a dance shop.

LOL. It's been a while since I saw that.
-
I really love the lolita look and always thought i would never be able to get those cute dresses to fit me. I have done a bit of research and found an excellent site that does custom made. Not just dresses but everything you could want. To my surprise even shoes to EU 46. So first item ordered is this.
-
and this
-
But the best bit is I can get shoes like these!!!!!!! I take size 11 UK mens and can get them to fit.

Very pretty.
It figure's that if mainstream society eliminated anything frilly from girl's, women's & TG wear, that someone else would fill the gap. It's a shame that mostly Japan & China noticed the need to mass produce these items, where the rest of the world except for a few custom, or kinky-wear places seem to ignore the need for this kind of stuff among many of the world's general population.
Except for the pretty sailor dress. These are Milanoo items. They sell under several names, & many companies buy from them & resell under their own name or domain.
I've read some complaints about Milanoo, but they're about the same as complaints about others from these other places.
Some of them are complaints about sizing but are due to customer misunderstandings. Medium sized Asian is about 120-130lbs at 5'4" to 5'8". Americans & some Europeans consider medium as 180-220lbs at 5'7" to 6'. One of the kids at the last random gallery I posted is from Sweden. He's pretty chubby. Nothing bad about that except he's in denial. Because he's only 5'6" he considers himself as small to medium size at around 190lbs. That is not small to medium in the rest of the world, just short & pudgy.
Just like many pudgy women who will swear they are a small sized & in denial, don't blame the distributor or manufacturer if you're not really "medium" compared to the rest of the world but refuse to admit it.
There's also some complaints about shipping. If the package arrived in your country from overseas in just a few day's, it's not the company's fault if it sat at your country's port of arrival at customs for 2-14 days waiting inspection or approval or your country's delivery service was slow or sloppy picking it up from customs & getting it to your house.
On a tight budget, we love Milanoo (also under other names), but there is a risk buying from re-sellers of their stuff. And don't expect the service & customization of a custom dress or sissy shop charging 2-10 times as much. Also when buying from overseas, there is more of a risk of something going wrong with your package along the way or at the border/customs. That's your country & it's shippers responsibility once it arrives there.

Lots of cute pictures on Pinterest under "Brolita."
-
Yeah a lot of them were taken from our Brolita Gallery.
Sometimes Pinterest was serving the pictures directly off my servers, stealing my server's bandwidth & resources until I started blocking them. But they keep coming in under a new ISPs to take more stuff before I can block their new ones. I'm constantly going into our brolita gallery to rename the images to break their links, & bandwidth stealing directly from our servers or this board. Fortunately my efforts have reduced the amount they serve off my servers, but I haven't been able to entirely stop it because they're so damn sneaky.
I've included the "no-pin" tags here to lets their bots & servers know to leave our galleries alone, but they ignore them whenever they want to, under the disguise of a user visiting. I have seen pix there from here, & when I trace it to the server's source, it turns out to be me & my servers.
I also see lots of hits to the brolita gallery, but they're not visiting the boards, they're visiting the image link at the board from pinterest.
Basically pinterest (an others) have browsers installed on their servers & come here impersonating a real user, but are really serving our content served from our servers & board on their pages.
When you search "brolita" there, they serve content off other people's servers that match your keyword, including us. Not only does this put excessive usage on our servers, but most of them don't even know they're viewing Betty's or know we exist. So in the long run, pinterest actually kills or bankrupts websites by stealing their content & bandwidth.
-
I've shrunk the pix on the first page of the brolita gallery dramatically to reduce the bandwidth consumption from pinterest. It's been going on ever since I made that gallery.
-
Just came from there, & typed "brolita". I found over 30 pix being served directly from my servers there in just a few minutes. I'm sure there's more if I want to spend more time looking.
I'm glad to see the ones I broke the links to & shrunk are no longer there though. Maybe I should someday delete that gallery & make a new one, but don't use the word "brolita" in the gallery. Too much bandwidth stealing.
What I've been doing is the ones in that gallery that were getting the most & unusual amount of hits to, I've been renaming to break their link, & then shrinking them if they find the link again. If they steal our bandwidth I'd rather it be a 10-14kb image rather than a 40-50kb one.

I am in the dark and you have shed some light, Betty.
-
Pinterest servers come here with browsers installed in them so they look & act like normal human visitors. But instead, they feed the pictures here directly off my servers for people to view at pinterest. Instead of storing & serving the pictures on their servers, they're using their servers as a browser & proxy to serve many of the pictures directly from the website that they're hitting.
And they're constantly spidering the sites so they know exactly what we have so they can come & grab whatever they want when they need it.
Let's say it's a 43kb picture we have at a gallery. They don't always just download it to their servers for their users to view, they serve it directly through their fake browser on a visit here to their visitors. Draining 43kb off my servers may not seem like much, but if they did it with over 100 of the images I'm serving, that's 4.3mb they drained from a server that I'm paying a lot of money every month for. If they had 1,000 people a day clicking on those images, that's a 4.3gb daily drain on our servers & bandwidth. In a month, I've distributed 129gb of bandwidth from my servers to pinterest out of my pocket for this mega-corporation's profit, but don't get 1 cent for it, & it doesn't even turn our hit counter.
Unless a site is on a free server with limited bandwidth & traffic restrictions, paid for with lots of clicks on malicious ads, websites pay for a server or host to carry their site, & pay for the bandwidth they expect to use. The size of their server, it's resources, & bandwidth is paid for by what we use or expect to need. When we have people or big corporations stealing our resources & bandwidth, we have to pay for bigger servers, & more bandwidth or suffer crashes, poor performance, or restrict our visitors to carry places like pinterest who feed our material from our servers through their faked browsers to their sites.
This used to be a trick of Russian mobsters, but now pinterest, facebook, twitter, & many others do it. It's killing small business online, small sites, & independently operated sites. The bad part is nobody does anything about it because nobody wants the small business, small site, or independent sites to survive anyway. Almost half our server costs goes to these big corporate leachers & criminals using our bandwidth & resources without our permission. They're making millions or billions of dollars a year. Let them pay for their own bandwidth & servers if they want to display the pictures, don't suck them directly from me & my servers.
Betty's isn't here & paid for to serve them. They have plenty of their own money & servers so shouldn't need ours.
