Lacebook was a private membership-based English-language community website/web ring for coord sharing, active between 2013 and 2017.
History
Created by Street Fashion Europe, Lacebook was a coord-sharing website intended initially as an alternative to Facebook for "a small number of Facebook friends [to share] outfits with each other, in the spirit of sites like Daily_Lolita or the old Lolita Snap"[1], but which quickly gained traction within the broader English-speaking lolita community.
While initially for photo-sharing only, features were added for following friends' updates, tracking group events[2], and even a mobile site[3]. Membership was on an approved-invite-only basis, with 100 invites available and being claimed per day at its peak. As of Oct 21, 2013, over 1600 images had been uploaded to/shared in the site[4]. An official Lacebook tea party was hosted on July 26, 2014 in Rothenburg, Germany[5][6].
By February 2015, the site shut down for an indefinite hiatus, citing bandwidth and cost difficulties. A revival effort was later made with a new URL in 2016, but was unable to hold the same popularity of the initial launch and ultimately shut down.
