Hello! I'm thinking about getting Melty Dream's new Pastel Galaxy by probably pre-ordering it, getting the headbow too. What should I get for the tights, shoes and wig? I was thinking of a light blonde or lavender twintail for the wig, but I have no idea what else would go with the outfit.

I want to say a blonde wig just because I think it would be a lot to put a lavender headbow on a lavender wig. I feel like the blonde wig would break it up better. I would then do pink tights or socks and lavender shoes, maybe with pink or white bows clipped to them for a little added touch of cute, but I wouldn’t say that’s necessary.

I'm looking for a wig that fades from a dark color on top to a lighter one on the tips and all the shops have from light to dark. I was looking for something in natural colors but others could do. Do you know about one like this? Thanks!

Bodyline has this one which I think looks pretty good. The quality doesn’t look fantastic in the picture, but their wigs (as well as most other items) tend to look a lot better in real life because they’re awful at taking stock photos. I can’t think of any others at the time though.

Hello! I have a question. I was thinking of buying a wig for sweet lolita outfits. I was wondering about "Mermaid" in Chocolate Cherry from Lockshop. Do you think the color would work with pink/sax?

I don’t see why not. The color is very natural so I think it would work well with a lot of colors.

I need some help with my cord. I am having difficulty buying my first wig! I need a wig that Will work with my coord and will easily go well with other cords as well. The cord I'm planning is squirell party in sax with a pink blouse, pink socks, and sax shoes. So, i have narrowed it down to 3 wigs on gothiclolitawigs that I really liked. But, my top fav (strawberries and cream blend) is sold out. Between blue and pink blend, and creme de la creme, which should i get? Will they restock? Thanks!

I would definitely suggest Creme de la Creme. Pink and blue is definitely cute, but considering you want something that will go easily with other coords, it’s probably not the way to go because you’ll be much more limited in clothing colors (and styles) that will look good with your wig. If you’re going for versatility it’s almost always best to choose a natural hair color.

What kind of wig would you recommend using for a Marie Antoinette inspired coord? I was planning to use the light blond wig from GLW's Duchess collection, do you think it would work?

I think that would look nice. It’s Marie Antoinette inspired so it doesn’t have to look exactly like Marie Antoinette, just something with some curl and maybe a little bit big so I think that would be a good option. Something from the Countess collection or Princess collection could also work.

I want to start doing casual lolita coords, but I also want to implement a cute pink two-tone wig with it. Would it still be considered casual lolita?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be Casual Lolita. Adding a wig isn’t going to make it look any less casual unless it’s an elaborately styled wig or something like that. Just think of it as though you always had your hair dyed pink. Would you suddenly not wear Casual Lolita just because your hair was dyed? Probably not. Just keep the wig styled in a casual way.

Hi, I bought a blonde wig, but I'm black and I thought it would look good with my skin tone, but it didn't... It's a golden blonde color, is there anything I can do to make it match better? Perhaps dyeing it or something (and if I could, how would I about dyeing it?) Would powdering it (to remove a shine) help at all with the color)?

I don’t think powdering would do much because it’s probably more of the color that it is the shine. Maybe you could go to a beauty supply shop where they have hair dye swatches and look at some of them against your skin to see what colors look better with your skin tone, then you can try to dye the wig that color, or just selling it and buying another one in that color. There are a few ways to dye wigs, I would say to just figure out what your wig is made of and look around google a little because it’s hard for me to suggest just one.
I definitely recommend the beauty supply store idea for anyone who isn’t sure what wig colors would look good on them. Maybe even take a friend with to get a second opinion.

I'm not advocate for GLW or anything but I run a wig blog and know a few things about the GLW and L-Email debate. L-Email can't be the source of GLW wigs since a lot of reviews comparing those two show just now different the two wigs are, right down to the wig caps sewn into the wig. From what I know, GLW gets their stuff made in a factory and sometimes there are some bad batches or bad quality items that make it through the radar. I admit their quality control isn't the best.
We actually do manufacture our own wigs - there are periods at which we change our manufacturing process, but we design and manufacture all of our designs.

I’m honestly not quite sure how to respond to this considering the amount of evidence to the contrary. I certainly don’t want to make enemies of any sort with such a popular and influential company, but all signs point to the wigs coming from different suppliers. Perhaps you could make some sort of post as proof? Maybe you could post something like behind the scenes photos or even a video. I think it would actually be very interesting to show everything from the designing process, the manufacturing process, all the way to the photo shoots. If you were to make a post of this sort I would definitely post it to my blog and apologize for any false information I may have spread.

Wait.. GLW does not make their own wigs?

No, they buy them from a few different wig distributors I believe. Wig Supplier is a major one but I believe they use others as well which explains why their quality tends to vary depending on the item.
