>>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
Yes, but I feel they're going downhill really quickly.
>>What are your AP dream dresses?
Sweetie Chandelier, Musee du Chocolat, Celestial, Milky Planet, among others.
>>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Not at all. I haven't bought anything from them in the past few years, though that's mostly because high waist cuts look bad on me. There's a few dresses (such as True Rose Story in black) I've liked but not enough to buy them on release. Nothing they've previewed looks very nice imo and I think I'll be sticking to buying Baby like I have for the last year.

>> No.10096272

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I like to look at their dresses, but i wouldn't wear most of them. I prefer a more classic style, which isn't really AP's focus most of the time.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
I don't have any dream dresses right now. I just got my big two, I'm content for the moment.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I've not liked a lot of their more recent releases, but I'm primarily classic, so I don't think my opinion counts for much.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
AP was my favorite brand for the longest time, but I don't know what to think of them now. Their designs now are often unflattering and overdone to the point where they look cheap. I miss food based prints.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
Honey Cake, Country of Sweets, Melty Chocolate, Pastel a la Mode, Miracle Candy, Romantic Frill, Halloween Treats, Dolly Dot, Memorial Cake

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Not really. It bothers me how now dresses have no extras to go along with them. Theres an OP, two JSKs, socks, a headbow and thats it. Older pieces used to get multiple versions of socks, a skirt, cutsews, there was more variety. Of course back then, prints were fewer. Now all they make is prints so its not special anymore. I really wish they would go back to making solids sometimes.

>>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I like them for all they've done for the fashion, being there since pretty much the beginning and for all the influence they've had in the past. Even if they don't put much out that I'm into or that other gulls give the time of day, I still have mad respect for them. Weird dress cuts need to go though.
>>What are your AP dream dresses?
Belle Epoque Rose in navy was my dream dress for a long time, but it doesn't really fit with my current tastes and wardrobe. I still think it's gorgeous though it doesn't have a place for me anymore.
>>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Not really. I bought horror candy shop since I liked the motifs and the colour, but the cut is horribly unflattering and it feels cheaper than my new pieces from any other brand. All the manufacturing inconsistencies, cheap fabric and weird cuts do nothing for me.

It's hard to hate them - they're a pretty iconic sweet lolita brand and probably have produced the widest variety of sweet lolita dresses (much as they recycle things) as well as influencing what's been trendy - I would say they were solely responsible for OTT sweet, for example.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
I'm still a bit miffed Cinema Doll didn't get a US re-release. I like some of their older strawberry items as well - Milky Berry, Strawberry Chiffon and Fruity Cafe. I'm still looking for the OP or JSK of Fruity Cafe in black.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Not really, but they have to cater to whoever has the largest buying power in order to survive so it's not like I can complain about that when I don't have enough earning power to change it.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
Absolutely, I'm a typical AP fangirl. I feel like their aesthetic fits mine the most. This doesn't mean I like everything they have released, but if it wasn't for AP I would've gotten bored of this fashion by now. BTSSB and Metajust never captured me as much. Also, I feel like only AP ever experiments.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
Honey Cake, Melty Ribbon Chocolate, Princess Rococo and Chess Emblem.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Generally, yes. I wish they would release less prints overall, because adding something new to the shop every frickin Saturday is a lot. I don't like every print they release, but enough to make my wallet cry. Especially their non-prints are really nice lately. I hope they start releasing matching jewelry and socks again.
Overall I think AP is a fun brand to follow. They make a lot of events, special exclusive sets, customer interactions and the way the whole AP community is hyped about news is nice.

>> No.10096414

I used to love Angelic Pretty so much but lately their releases have been shit. During the past ~5 years they've released only 4 dresses I've liked, while I own nearly 40 dresses and skirts from 2008-2013

>> No.10096436

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?

I do. It's hard not to like Angelic Pretty. They've been around so long, there's almost something for everyone. I'm not a fan of the super-sweet stuff, but anything with fantasy elements or horses I am all over.

>What are your AP dream dresses?

- Classic Fairy Tales (green)
- Castle Mirage (navy)
- Ribbon Berry Bunny (pink)

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?

I don't mind the direction, simply because I haven't gotten all the older releases I want yet, so 2018 being a complete strikout for me other than Holy Wolf isn't a huge issue. One AP dress at retail per year is about all I can internally justify to myself anyway.

>> No.10096443

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I do, I'm really fond of their solids and more structured pieces! They do solids so much different than other brands and I really appreciate that.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
Midnight doll, pure doll, and chiffon princess!

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I don't hate it. I was never fond of prints to begin with, but something about all over prints feels cheap to me. Their valentine print feels a lot truer to the AP aesthetic than that angel one they just dropped, and I hope they continue to make things like that! I also liked the solid series they just released, like topping sugar.

>> No.10096449

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
Yes, as others have said AP is really iconic.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
Melty Ribbon Chocolate, Cinema Doll, Katrina (first release), most of their strawberries prints.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Nope. From the recent AP's fashion show I only liked the Imai Kira's collab and the valentine's one. In the past I'd be really excited about every single dress but yeah, maybe I'm growing older and getting tired of sweet lolita?

I made these awhile ago to show the difference between old AP and new AP. It's not just a print problem, its a design problem.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I love love love love AP. It was the first brand I ever found and I fell in love immediately. The joy I felt when I finally got an Angelic Pretty piece after years of wanting one, was just inexplicable.
>What are your AP dream dresses?
Crystal Dream Carnival OP in Navy, Bonbon Bunny in white, Ribbon Berry Bunny in pink, and Be My Valentine which hasn't come out yet but I'm excitedly anticipating it!!
>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Honestly no ): I finally was in a place to buy AP new this past year and it sucks because I love their older pieces and I hate chiffon in general. It's not as cheap as it could be, but I feel like their new dresses are so cheap compared to only a few years ago, and it makes me really sad!

Most of my wardrobe is angelic pretty because of my theme. I overall like various stuff that they release though, but it just doesnt match my aesthetic.

I have all of my dream dresses at the moment, but i do want all the colorways of dreamy planetarium.

I dont hate it. I like a couple of their upcoming releases and I'm probably going to get them. Even though I'm not planning on buying older stuff, i do find myself liking alot more stuff before 2013-2014 than i do with newer releases.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I’ve never been the biggest fan, I’m one of the few in the minority that prefers btssb. It’s probably because I got into lolita around the time that ott sweet was at its peak and I’ve never been a fan of how hyper sweet print dresses look. I know the older ones (2011-2014) have a genuine feel of quality but even with that knowledge they look so cheap to me. I really enjoy their older pieces, though, and there’s a few appliqué skirts I’ve collected that have slowly become my favorite bits of my wardrobe.
>What are your AP dream dresses?
I cant deny my ultimate soft spot for Honey Cake, and if they ever re-released Halloween treats or magic amulet in a normal waist cut I’d buy them in a heartbeat.
>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I’m mixed, I like some of the newer print designs more since I was never a big fan of stuff like toy parade, but from what I’ve seen the quality is going downhill fast, and if you asked me who made the newest releases, I would have said hands down it was some taobao brand, which is incredibly disappointing.

I love AP of course. They're not my all time favourite brand, and I do find them a tad overrated, but it's really hard to hate them. They're a huge part of the community and have so many great and iconic designs.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
Castle Mirage, Twinkle Carnival, Gloria, Radiant Candlelight, Chandelier print JSK, and Melty Royal Chocolate.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I haven't been impressed with a number of more recent designs in the past couple of years, but they do still release some prints I love. I really liked Ghost Night Bride and Holy Wolf. Really disappointed with their most recent line up though.

I kind of do - to look at- even though I'm a gothic lolita. I perpetually hate their cuts, though. I think if AP didn't look so, well, childish with cuts, I'd buy more things like their college sets. They pay a lot of attention to the tiniest details (Like making sure a star themed dress has star buttons and starry lace and shooting star ties in back, that kind of thing) and I think that's why they're the most iconic brand and why taobao simply cannot replicate them in spirit.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I do. I wasn't actually a big fan of their big 2012 sweet era. I thought it was too sugary and repetitive. When they started toning down a bit more with chiffons and slightly more dreamy pieces, I payed attention to them more. I think they'll continue to be on top because they're smart with watching the market, even non-lolita, with fashion fads and applying them to lolita.

I kind of do, to mostly look at, because I'm pretty content in being a gothic lolita. Most of their prints do nothing for me and I'm kind of grateful because it's impossible to keep up with buying releases. I personally hate their cuts and it's what keeps me from almost all their pieces, though. I think if AP didn't look so, well, childish with cuts, I'd buy more things like their college sets.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I do. It probably makes up about 85/90% of my wardrobe, my favourite time is probably in between 2006 and 2014, though the occasional later release catches my eye. I think I like it best because the style suits exactly what I like, and the dresses make me feel happy as well as nostalgic somehow? I also love the extra details, like custom lace and the more striking unique designs.
>What are your AP dream dresses?
Honey cake and Osanpo Candy Chan.
>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I'm unsure about it, the occasional release still catches my interest but the current more modern trends don't really suit my tastes and they don't excite me. It doesn't really make me think of AP when I look at the designs. The quality continues to decline and many designs are more minimal on lace and intricate details, using generic dot laces, no more built in petticoat layers and few actual cotton releases, instead more polyester blends. 3 out of 4 of dresses I got in 2017 and 2018 had flaws, mostly to do with shoddy sewing. I'm not sure but it feels like AP are doing more MTOs, special sets and rereleases of popular prints from the past few years to keep the market of people who want more of the classic iconic AP while they continue moving into new trends. I did order the brilliant colour dream marine MTO because I find it more exciting than the original release, but I am concerned about quality control issues.

I have a love hate relationship with AP; when I first started wearing lolita 2009-2012 era AP was my main style. I changed styles to toned down sweet and classic a few years later.

Shoulder Ribbon jsk (2005) in red is my main dream dress. Honey Cake round jsk in ivory is a wishlist dress of mine but I can live without it. I used to own the switching jsk set but it was way too small on my rib cage.

I find it hard to see a real "direction". While they seem to have uninspiring prints, there's always nice ones as well in my opinion. Only thing I really dislike is the excessive use of synthetic fiber over cotton recently.

As much as I'd hate to admit it, AP makes up more than half of my wardrobe.

I recently got my dream AP piece (not top colorway though), but I have a few classics that I'm considering getting, such as Chess Chocolate, Fruits Parlor, and Sugar Pansy. I also wouldn't mind getting a fancy no-print JSK/OP, but I haven't liked any of the recent releases of them.
>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Kind of. I like that there are more "mature" pieces that are inspired by retro/larme. It's also nice to see more MTO/special sets even though they aren't really for me. I wish they would put out something more like the OTT era more than just what feels like once a year and stop with the sack dresses.

They aren't my style, as I prefer goth and classic, but I wouldn't say I dislike them. Their releases are still fun to look at, and can look really cute on other girls.
>>What are your AP dream dresses?
I love a lot of their old school pieces, especially their velveteen dresses like pic related. As for their more modern releases, I'm quite fond of Vioretta and Holy Lacy Doll Long OP (both in black).
>>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
It seems like they're prioritizing quantity over quality, which is never a good thing. Their dresses are looking a lot less unique from each other in design and rely on prints in order to seem new. A lot of the prints themselves look overly busy. Their OTT sweet era prints were able to look fun and interesting without seeming cluttered.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I really used to love AP and they are still one of my favorite brands, but I haven't been as captivated by anything new they have put out for a few years now. I got into lolita around 2004 but there weren't many ways to get new AP items back then. I always felt their prints were more creative than BTSSB and Meta's pieces looked cheaper/more basic back then.
>What are your AP dream dresses?
Twinkle mermaid in black with the monochrome print (I'd like to get the jsk first and eventually also the op and skirt. I've managed to somehow miss getting the jsk in black every time it has shown up or was outbid in the early years... this sort of turned into a twinkle mermaid mania for a while where I would buy the other colorways as place holders until I can get my dream one. I've got a small hoard for now), the swan lake op in all 3 colorways and the dollhouse op in the grey/black colorway (I've yet to find it with all the pieces included), the cosmetics print skirt, the Cinderella print in a few cuts and colorways and the pure heart set from 06.
>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Not particularly, but AP has always incorporated what was trendy into what they are releasing (think of all the shorter skirts, salopettes, casual sleeveless cutsews of 09 in their bright pastels, or the influx of jewel tones and browns/tans we started seeing just a few years later with all the chocolate prints). They have always been more experimental than other sweet brands and have evolved so much over time. I'm excited to see what they do next, even if what they release isn't for me.

Marshmallow Bunny 4 lyfe. Well, I already own a few of that print, but I've always got an eye out. I like some of the older solids in colors that didn't interest me at the time, but none of them are really dream dresses. I've loved some of the one-off runway dresses (pic related), but the only way to get my hands on those would be to stage some sort of daring heist on AP HQ.
>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
It's not for me. The gradients and ombres are fun, but the prints are getting noisier, the fabrics are getting crappier, the waists are getting higher, and the skirts are getting left out nearly all the time. Rose Museum is the last one I really liked. It seems like they've been releasing things nearly every week but so little of it seems memorable.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?

Not really. I loved them when I first started lolita in 2006~7, but I think I just grew out of it. However, I'll always have a soft spot for some of their stuff, just came to terms with it not being for me.

>What are your AP dream dresses?

I've been lucky enough to get both, which are also the only AP releases I have. Victorian Tassel corset cut JSK in black and pic related.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?

Yes and no. I think their quality has taken a huge dive over the years and a lot of the cuts are just bad, as well as the prints being awful compared to what they used to be. Every now and then they'll put out something particularly cute, though, like Diner Doll.

However, I do love the non-print pieces they're doing nowadays. If I felt the quality was better I'd be more inclined to get more, but they're so hit or miss to me. Pic related is gorgeous quality (though I'm not a fan of the lace used for the ruffly parts, but it's okay), but I bought the Antique Doll JSK, too and was so disappointed by it. The materials on it felt so cheap and it was seriously like a $60-70 dress I could have got off of Taobao, so the hit or miss has me hesitant to get more of their non-prints. I would like to get a tartan piece soon, though.

I don’t have any comparison photos offhand, but my only new release Angelic Pretty dress is Dreamy Parfait. While it’s light materials make it perfect for summer wear it feels very fragile. The print is on this sheer material and layered over white fabric to make it visible but personally I dislike that effect. I don’t sew so I can’t list the specifities but I just have a hard time imagining this dress lasting so long. I have many old AP pieces in my wardrobe that are 10 years old or older. This is so soft and fragile I can’t imagine it making it that far.

>>10097258
I’m glad that dress is good quality anon, the photos are misleading. I’ll admit that design piqued my interest a tiny bit but to me I just cannot consider it lolita. Looks more like AP-does-Gunne-Sax than anything else.

I agree with you that it's not really lolita, but it fits my style well and is just a lovely piece to get creative with. The materials they used for it are really unique- the body is like chiffon with a velvet pinstripe and it's all fully lined, so the dress is super heavy and very soft. The velvet used on the ribbons is nice and all the tiers and bodice have a lot of subtle cotton rose lace. I was impressed with it. It felt like a gamble after being let down so hard with Antique Doll but I was so in love with the design that I chose to risk it.

>> No.10097292

Maybe they improved it- I got an older release and felt let down all around, but I also don’t have much AP nor Taobao so I may not been up to speed on their quality. I can say the Taobao pieces I do have have been particularly good releases compared to what a lot of people think, so I may have higher hopes for TB all around/ skewed comparison. But my AP JSK just felt super thin- with light behind it you could see right through it and I felt the buttons and details used where just cheap feeling. The lace was soft, though, but could have benefited from a thicker lining.

No, like someone else mentioned they look like taobao and though there is nothing particularly wrong with taobao, I want AP and not taobao. The designs are faded and boring, the material shiny and boring. Sure some non-print dresses can be okay but I do feel the main reason I don't like AP anymore is that I think they are just so boring now.

I've always been very fond of AP. I'm an old-lita, I got into the fashion in '00, and even though I've never worn sweet I've always felt AP and Baby were kind of the 'face' of lolita fashion. They've always been the most bold, the most subversive, etc.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
I've never really had an AP dream dress since I don't wear sweet. But if I had to pick some favorites....
Prints: Fruits Parlor, Milky Planet, Fantastic Carnival, Dollhouse
Less printy: Shadow Dream Carnival, Cake Applique, Candy Pop, Fleur Hamming, Retro Dot

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
I have mixed feelings. It's unfortunate that their quality seems to be going downhill, and that many people don't like their new cuts.

However, I think that this is all in response to the rise of indie and taobao brands. I think AP is trying to compete with that market so they're taking inspiration from their designs (which use a lot more sheer fabrics, high-wasted cuts, and huge prints than traditional lolita). They also see that buyers don't seem to care about quality since they're buying these other brands, so AP is sacrificing their quality for larger and more releases.

Also, I have to wonder about the "unflattering cuts" thing. Not to be all "back in my day" about it, but I remember when AP hiked their skirt lengths way up and then when they were releasing lots of salopettes. They got the same sort of complaints from western lolitas about how "unflattering" their new stuff was.

I think back then there was still more variety. Like even if they released a salopette that you wouldn't look good in, you still had the option of getting a skirt, JSK, or OP. Now if you know you'd look bad in the high waisted JSK your options are....another highwaisted JSK or the high waisted OP.

For all the complaining about OTT tier AP, it was still very versatile. Sugary Carnival could be dressed to the nines or toned down for daily wear depending on how you decided to wear it.

I can't imagine wearing Shanghai Doll or even the new angel print in a casual setting. The new sheer fabric might make the dresses less prone to wrinkles but it makes them more fragile in my eyes.

Dunno what you're talking about, none of the people I've seen wearing Shanghai Doll look that dressed up in it. It looks super easy to wear, unless SC which needs a bunch of head bows and wrist cuffs. Most of recent AP can't even be made that OTT, unless they were intended to be big event dresses.

There was more variety within individual sets, but less variety over all. The period that a lot of gulls think of as peak AP (2010-2015ish?) was imo one of their weakest periods.

Their solids were great. But if you wanted printed dresses you had three options- Stuffed Animal Strawberries, Chocolate Drippy Donuts, or Melty Baby's First Toybox. And your choices were poof-monster or Salopette, or sometimes mini skirt. If you wanted something else (less poof, empire waist, mature sweet prints, whatever) you were shit out of luck.

the salopette and mini skirt era was very short. and i don't think anything was released with ONLY salopette or OP as options. Plus like you said, if you didn't like prints that was ok, there were still a ton of solid or applique items available to you, because prints were only released ten times a year at most. now we don't really have solids anymore.

>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?
I’m not into wearing crazy ott sweet, or much sweet for that matter. When I was younger I was your typical AP fag. I mostly wear gothic and classic now, but I still have fun looking at AP coords.

>What are your AP dream dresses?
Dream Dress for years was Twinkle Mermaid monochrome black jsk, and after 8 years I was finally able to hunt it down. I also really like the Romantic Rose Letter OPs in sax but it never seems to pop up when I’m looking to buy. Otherwise I’m kind of obsessed with Imai Kira prints. Other then Twinkle Mermaid, I also have Ballerina Print , Princess Silhouette, Cats Tea Party, Puppet Circus and Charlotte’s Bear. I’d love to get others like Favorite Room and Daydream Bed, but I don’t like high waist stuff and they didn’t come in a skirt version either. I also have an obsession with their carousel prints and own the Carnival OP. I’d like to find sax Sugary Carnival too. Like I said I don’t really care for sweet much, but I still like collecting some pieces on the rare occasion I go to a meetup or a convention.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?
Not really. I dislike the chiffon fad, I prefer cottons. There have been some prints I really liked in the past few years but never bought because all they release are high waist cuts, sack OPs with elbow length sleeves and almost never any skirt options. If it’s not going to flatter me, I’m not going to buy it regardless of how much I want the print. I fell in love with the new Imai Kira Unbirthday Print, but again, not fond of the cut and I’m not holding my breath to wait for a skirt version.
