New shoe design?

https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=63887

>>10293655
Is it AP replica

They still look cheap af, wouldn’t wear it even if I got it for free

>>10293658
All their shoes are replicas.

>>10293655
This isn't new. I've had BL shoes with that design before.

>>10293655
Not new i ordered those years ago and they sent me the wrong size

>>10293655
>The only shoe they've had in stock for years

>>10293661
I’m all for shitting on Bodyline, but in their defense Most lolita shoes are “replicas”. There’s only so many ways you can slap bows and straps on a shoe.

Pic related: AP tea parties vs a pair of Meta shoes

>>10293653
is eh imo (the worst of the pics is the stupid headwear & blouses), but dear god, >>10293654 looks like babby's first handmade dress to me.

Anyone know about the status of the RHS? I remember anons praying for them to come back in stock.

Replica Definition Reminder Post [newb slide]
>Print Replica
Re-using a copyrighted original print without permission; as much of a copyright violation as art theft. Actually illegal if brought to court.
>Design Replica
A legal loop hole; an object that duplicates the construction of a copyrighted object without an original print or copyrighted color (those exist). Not illegal or else someone could copyright the idea of pants.

>Brando's problem with Replicas
They hate them showing up at official tea party events because it causes "brand confusion", which is the issue of people mistaking an item having been made by a different company. Replicas tend to be poorer quality then the originals, so attributing a poorly-made replica as the real thing can affect their sales and reputation.

>>10293689
... Honestly I just wish we would move on to "evolving" the tea party shoe into something new / different. It annoys me how impractical they are as actual shoes and yet they seem in-trenched into the look

>>10293696
impracticality is part of the beauty of the fashion.
giant platforms are integral to the substyles I like but I still run for public transit in them.

>>10293707
I'm just tired of people having to pack sneakers with them and changing out either halfway through the event or as soon as the event ends. Spending the rest of the day in converse with a full coord is not cute, desu. Also it's not cute when your correct-size tea parties (replica or original) cause sores so you bleed on your brand OTKs.

btw, would it be a good idea for "veterans" to post tl;dr short reviews of bodyline pieces in this thread?

Wait, do people really find tea parties to be uncomfortable? Over the past 2 years I've worn ($10 taobao replica) tea parties every day, to a point where I've worn completely through the soles of two pairs. And it's not like I was just sitting around in them all day either, I don't drive so between walking to bus stops, around the city, and around campus, I'd walk about 10 to 15km in them per day

I love Bodyline shoes, I never had a problem with them and I'm so happy that they are restocking finally.

>>10293689
You obviously don't know what the word replica means.

>>10293737
tea parties are uncomfortable to me after awhile, but I have high arches. I gotta wear inserts and even then discomfort comes around sooner than later.

>>10293653

Will just mention this is a fabric you can find in fabric stores, not a Bodyline print.

We don't need yet another debate on whether some indie brand is replicating Bodyline, so I'm putting this out there right now.

>>10293653
It's the same cut as the unicorn dress.

>>10293743
links? Having a hard time finding this thru google, but I have some craft idea for this fabric

Their new dresses are really mediocre. How they are going to compete with taobao brands that churn up new cute stuff all the time? I think era when Bodyline was the only affordable/easy to order from option is gone.

>>10293737
I wear lolita daily and i only find teaparties uncomfortable when im walking alot, like at a convention or an event of some sort. If i know ill be walking alot I put bandaids on the back of my heels as a precaution and it usually helps.

Who are the new models? (I think they're new?)

>>10293761
I bought the same fabric before.

the listing title was cotton - sweet chocolate fabric -50cm from a shop called ForestFabricSewing

They even seem to have lavender which Bodyline didn't show pictures of lat I checked. It is nicer to me than the fabric of past printed bodyline dresses so hopefully that means an improvement in their quality overall for the print dresses.

Dear god I wish they would restock their sweet boots though. I just want a white pair to match for some of my winter old school coords.

>>10293784
It was on etsy just to clarify. You can probably find it other places too.

>>10293785
Thanks Anon!! I'll go dig some more! I really wish they'd restock the boots too :(

>>10293654
>>10293653
These look so bland, boring and cheap...

The irony of Bodyline using cotton and being "cheap" and Ap using Poly and being "high end"

>>10293689
I agree, I even find 'normie' shoes more versatile than typical lolita shoes (but they work only in classic and maybe in gothic).

I find these pretty cool, pls don't kill me.

>>10293815
I personally agree, but then I don’t really care for sweet.
After that survey I really hoped for more toned down, versatile pieces, wardrobe staples and those goddamn RHS.
Hopefully they’re not just releasing more and more sweet.

>>10293762
I really wish they would just stick to their simple cotton designs, all the ones in florals and solids. They're really great basic dresses, machine washable and durable. They can't compete with all the crazy niche Taobao prints and OTT nonsense but simple old school styles always look nice.

>>10293847

They would make a killing if they still sold shoes or ever fucking restocked the stuff we all want. Basics and wardrobe staples like shoes and blouses that are actually in stock regularly would be nice.

Or making bigger sizes again to cater to cheap fatties. Do any gulls remember the days they had up to like 8L I think?

>>10293847
>those goddamn RHS
You do know that's possible to buy their RHS from Taobao, right?

>>10293825
They rarely use "cotton" though. A lot of times it's some horrible poly/cotton blend that crinkles, and wrinkles like tissue paper.. or looks shiny as balls.

I saw the two new dresses in store both in Tokyo and Osaka. I have to say the lace on them is just downright atrocious and the bodices are very plain and ugly. Worse than the pictures show. Even the shopgirls weren't wearing them lol.

>>10293761

Here's the taobao link the photo is from: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0k.7628869.1997985097.d4918997.265e204f2AAebf&id=586306988022&_u=t2dmg8j26111

Anon is right that you can find it on nippori-tomato.com, rakuten (try "生地 チョコ" as a search term), etsy and other places. It's just a bit annoying because it doesn't seem to have an official name that you can search by, no one even bothers with the maker's name or anything.

>>10294042
The manufacturer is cosmo tex but I'm pretty sure their online site is wholesale only

>>10294042
You're the best! I was knee deep in ugly chocolate prints trying to find it haha

>>10293696
I see people complaining about tea parties being impractical or uncomfortable but my tea parties are some of my most comfortable shoes? I can wear them all day with no discomfort whatsoever.

>>10294131

there's no hope for this one. Shops will name drop Yuwa or Yuwa Classics, Michael Miller, some will even do Quilt Gate, and even Lecien.

Cosmo Textiles is just... nobody namedrops it. Not the etsy stores, not taobao, not even Rakuten stores that meticulously sort by brand. We're doomed to wade through 100 pages of ugly chocolate prints trying to a store that will sell us those 5 yards/fat quarter we need to make a dress/totebag out of it.

>>10293693
People keep mentioning it in these threads but JFC learn how to use taobao they have them there

>>10294213
trust me, I've seen them anon. :) was asking for other anons, cause sometimes you may wanna just buy a pair of shoes and not throw together a whole taobao order.

>>10294239

To be fair I prefer not having to use SS so I rarely buy from taobao and some people are like that.

Only taobao shop I buy from regularly is antaina and just shoes but if Bodyline restocked their boots and basic teaparties (I have to replace my daily wear ones every few months to a year) I would rather buy from them than taobao anyday because it's just easier.

>>10293979
I thought the lace was fairly okay for Bodyline standards on the chocolate dress at least.

>>10294667

Even if fhe quality was good it doesn't even match well and it makes the dress look tacky. That print has zero noticable white accent in it. For contrast from the light pink or ivory, a brown lace would have looked much nicer. And the bodice looks like a sloppy oversized half assed attempt at princess seams. Bodyline has had better constructed bodices than this in the past even if the materials were cheap. The design of the dress just seems lazy and like they're trying to let the print carry the piece rather than putting in effort. They could have just made it a full shirring jsk with some extra bows or a corset lacing panel up front and the bodice would have been better.

So if you exceed the 1 item limit for Pmail, how much extra do they charge you? Should I just wait for another shipping promo?

>>10294745

I ordered multuple items (all headdresses) just the other day with Pmail and the shipping was free to USA. No idea how their shipping charges work.

50% off sale and they've restocked colorways everyone has been wanting!

>>10294187
Yeah me too. Even when they’re slightly small I wear them all day and I’m not dying. I don’t know why so many people act like they’re torture or something. I have narrow heels, though, maybe that’s it?

>>10294785

Everything seems out of stock as usual. Especially the shoes. I assume they haven't sold that quickly so they basically only restocked some of their headdresses and cutsews.

>>10293696
Legitimately not trying to be rude but it’s entrenched

>mfw bodyline took so long to restock rhs i was able to save enough money to buy vw rhs
>mfw i have no face

>>10293770
Diff anon but are you wearing shoes that are too snug? You should have a small bit of space in any kind of shoes you wear. I have 6 pairs of tea parties (from Taobao and AP) and they've never rubbed or hurt my feet at all

>>10293655
This shoe has been around for a while

Bodyline also changed their shoe sizing - it goes from S to LL. The LLs are 25.5 or 26 cm according to their website (depending on the type of shoe) but I ordered a pair of the ones pictured and its not true to size. My old pair of 25.5s had plenty of room.

They also don't carry anything past a size 26 anymore. What happened, Bodyline?

>>10294785
does the sale end on 12/15 or start on 12/15? (sorry i'm dumb)

>>10295578

I think it ends 12/15 since on product pages it shows the half off price under a slashed through full price already right now.

>>10295578
the sale has already started and ends on 12/15. Although they pretty much always have their lolita stuff on 40-50% sale lately, so it doesn't matter much anyway.

>>10294988
Do they run bigger or smaller?
What a shame, I always loved the wide range of sizes they had..

>>10295626
never Mind, I should read better :D

>>10293652
actually ordered something from bodyline. been eyeing these two pieces as casual / work day dresses so I don't have to worry about my brand. fingers crossed they're not both complete garbage.

>>10294988
I've emailed them about their size range, hoping for something above a 26. They replied with a generic statement about trying to provide larger sizes in the future. More emails might be helpful.

>>10295651
One of left is supposedly hit or miss depending on what run you get. One on right is supposed to be really nice irl

>>10295626
I got a pair of their ruffled tea parties posted up thread and they were supposed to be 26.0 that's what they were listed as on my order, but I got a pair that only said LL and they were really 25.5

>>10295651
>>10295716
yeah the original release of that velvet Op was good, but who knows?

>>10295651
I’ve got the one on the right in black and it’s great. The ruffles at the bottom are a little unruly and heavier than expected, but I really like it.
Wouldn’t pay full price but it’s worth the sale price.

>>10295651
Right one is L348. It's one of the best Bodyline solids you can possibly get. Bought black and sax one earlier this year during the warehouse clearance sale for about 25 bucks each. The design is quite cute and versatile, and don't regret buying them at all. But just as >>10295751 said, the ruffles are quite heavy, so decent to extra thick poof are required to give it a nice shape like pic related.

>>10295760
Been wanting an old school looking JSK so I'm definitely grabbing a blackxwhite after seeing this.

>order squirrel party in black
>it arrives and is faded af
>go back to product page
> it now says "deep gray" instead of "black"
wtf

>>10295651
I bought the left in that color and it is really nice, but it’s dark navy, not a bright blue. A little disappointing, but it’s really lovely nonetheless.

Is L406 decent?

Bodyline it's just a cheapo variety store; it has a very very few nice things between all the garbage. But that was YEARS ago. Why do you insist to buy there? There is nothing good left, the mediocre ones are overpriced and you can buy way better pieces 2nd hand or Taobao (which is huge). Even the damn rhs are there for years and you keep crying here. I don't understand.

>>10296014
even if it was good quality, that style is butt ugly. Get better taste, anon.

>>10296076
can we make this a new copypasta

>>10296014
The design looks pretty whack. Could have been passable if it hadn't the stripes and some better details for highlights instead.

I ordered a big Bodyline haul last night including pic related. I don't know if I've ever seen it worn but it looks like it has potential. Anyone else have it?

>>10293696
>copyrighted color (those exist)
not to nitpick but this will literally never come up with reference to design replicas, as color copyright is VERY specific and rarely granted. unless you expect a brand to drop a dirt devil red vacuum any time soon

>inb4 tiffany
tiffany only has a copyright on tiffany blue for jewelry boxes. if a brand dropped a dress in that color it would not matter

>>10296232
I personally don’t own it, but Sanakanin does. Pic related is from her blog.

>>10296242
Oh wow that looks pretty nice! Thanks anon, I'm looking forward to coording it when it arrives.

>>10296076
I buy them because they're cheap AND fit my breasts, which most taobao does not

>>10296177
>>10296222
I am really loving it for some reason, despite the fact that i'm a print whore. this is the first "plain" dress i find appealing. idk

>>10296076
Their shoes are comfier than any of the Taobao shoes I've tried.

>>10296232
It's really cute. There's actually tiny cats hiding in the flowers in the print. It seems to be made of a nice, heavy cotton too. >>10296307
this dress is a much nicer option if you're looking for stripes. There's a beige version that's just ivory/beige stripes with the pink flowers if you're attached to the pink.

>>10296242
the mismatched stripes on the front panels is bugging me so much. it's a cute print but that is super distracting

>>10296430
>this dress is a much nicer option
See, I think this one is hideous. Especially the cheap little bows on the sides. Different strokes I guess

>>10296014
I used to own this and yeah, it's pretty good in terms of quality. Cotton lace, cotton or mostly cotton fabric.

>>10296232
This cut is one of Bodyline's nicest ones, and I've seen this in person and the fabric is pretty nice too.

>>10296076
LOL, I agree for the most part, but when I said something along these lines in a local comm a few years ago. I got a shitstorm of 'yOu Do nOT unDeRstaND, this is brand!!!1111' Like, people desperately need a justification of their choice, instead of saying 'that's a store that has some cheap nice lolita clothes sometimes among costume shit'.

>>10293737
Too much people buy antainai and other badly made brands then think all lolita shoes are like that. Together with thinking length alone should make for perfect fit without understanding the shape might not fit their feet wel and instead blame the whole fashion aesthetic for their discomfort.

In the end, Lolita shoes aren't much different from normie shoes. Some fit comfortable, others not, depends on more than size.

>>10295713
I stopped by their Osaka store and they don't have anything above 26, or LL according to their new sizing. They should have kept the bigger sizes instead of sending half assed apology emails

>>10296232
own it in purple, it's very nice quality for bodyline. my stripes aren't mismatched but i guess it's just pot luck.

>>10296463
>2 tiny, easy to remove bows on a nicely made dress
>an overall completely hideous design made of polyester

well, you can't fix ita taste. buy that dress anon and post your coordinate, i'd love to see it.

>>10296971
Ita in your single personal opinion does not actually = ita. It fits the lolita silhouette and aesthetic.

>>10293848
This 100%
I don't care for crazy Taobao prints or the new direction AP and Baby is going, :I just want versatile solids. Given that I have most of the solid BL released before and happy with them but there have been a couple I missed and I'd like to have them very much. New designs wouldn't hurt either.

>>10293953
Their costumes and some of the blouses are like what you described but their solid dresses are actually good quality. Someone even posted a Baby vs. BL fabric comparison a couple threads ago and they looked literally same. I'm not saying all BL is brand quality of course but I had a chance to visit their store and feel the fabric myself and there are a lot of good ones.

>>10296232
Except for the high waisted skirts this is definitely my favourite piece I own from Bodyline. I have it in wine and it's pretty cute.

The shade of wine also matches an IW bolero I own perfectly, so I can coord them together.

Whenever I order from BL, it always takes at least 2 months to arrive. I'm in the US. Is that normal or am I just cursed?

>>10299384
Which shipping method?
mine takes 1.5 weeks EMS in USA

>>10297216
This. I know I'd be crucified for saying it since both cgl and the lolita community as a whole is full of brandwhores, but as someone who both likes and owns AP, a good few of my Bodyline pieces have better quality/feeling fabric than AP.

>>10297216
>Their costumes and some of the blouses are like what you described but their solid dresses are actually good quality
As someone with about 6 solid bodyline dresses, they are not cotton. They aren't bad quality, but they are still poly and still not brand quality. I have baby, AP, meta as well and the body line is not as good.

>>10299384
mine takes about a month using the pmail.

>>10299389
Pmail

>>10299420
Sigh, guess it's just me then.

>>10297095
Ita doesn't have to mean it's not lolita. It means it's fucking ugly. Lurk more.

I'm surprised nobody's talking about the shoe sale, grabbed three pairs for $10 each with free shipping.

>>10299384
are you on the east coast? I am and p mail usually takes 6-8 weeks.

>>10299695
Again, in your singular opinion. It's not some lace monstrosity that is auto ita. No one cares about your one opinion, sorry

>>10300204
Thanks for the heads up on the shoes! I got the email but didn't know the sale was that good.

>>10299416
Nayrt and I can't talk for Meta as I don't have any but most of AP and Baby are not cotton either. I don't know what dresses do you have but ones I have are good quality poly comparable to brand poly.

>>10300204
I grabbed a bunch of wigs for 110 yen each. The W066 actually has a decent reputation. No shoes I want are available in my size I'm afraid.

>>10300264

I can't say for sure about solids but alot of the print BABY I own is 100% cotton according to tags. Maybe the solids are blends?

Can anyone let me know what the sizing on this is like?

https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=25058

The sizes available don’t match with the sizes they have listed? And the only review says to size up?

They just restocked lace up boots in black and white

>>10300204

How did you get free p-mail to work? I only have a single pair in my cart but it keeps wanting to charge me 700 yen, which is a no go when the shoes only cost 1100 yen in the first place.

>>10299404
I mean, nobody disagrees that nu-AP is low quality, but Bodyline can't hold a candle to their older stuff.

>>10300361
pmail is free only after 2000 yen. if you have at least two pairs in your cart it should work fine. I got the three pairs in the same order and it didn't charge shipping, but I will note that they did split the order into two parcels and I got two tracking numbers (probably due to the size).

>>10300266
ahh darn I wish I had thought to look at the wigs, they're not really my thing but they're always good to have around for bad hair days and last minute costumes. happy for you though!

>>10300344
>The sizes available don’t match with the sizes they have listed

Atleast from what I know there shouldn't be a size L, just M, 2L and 4L. So pick the best size out of the three and ignore the L. To calm your mind, there has also no size L ever been sold on LM (opposite to a shitton of Ms and 2/4Ls) and their rakuten page says the same.

>>10300369
Considering nu-AP is about Bodyline level or worse these days, I don't see why BL still can't be considered brand these days. It's Japanese-owned and operated, and yeah they sell non-lolita stuff but so does AP.

>>10300208
don't forget to post your coord to COF sweaty

>>10300476
>thinking everyone dresses for others instead of themselves
>not understanding the point of this fashion whatsoever
Yikes.

>>10300483
sounds like something an ita would say, enjoy your ugly ass dress

>>10300360

Which boots do you mean?

>>10300824
You very obviously belong in normie fashion, not alt. But thanks I will.

>>10300264
All of my dresses from brands are cotton. I don't wear prints though, just older stuff, so that might be why. All I know is that compared to my bodyline solid dresses, the bodyline fabric is better than costume shit, but it's still not comparable at all to brand. Not saying it's bad, like I said, I own ~6 solid dresses from bodyline myself, but it's not the best material imo.

>>10300344
Because it has shirring on the front and back, it can stretch a ton. I usually wear 2l in bodyline (i'm not obese, just tall so the length really helps) and I'm swimming in the 2l when it's usually loose but not horrible. The m fits me great (94cm bust, 26cm waist) but it's above my knees a couple inches, whereas the 2l is knee length on me, more or less. The straps are stretchy though, so the m can vary a bit if I pull it down more.

>>10295966
Squirrel party In red is superior

>>10295966
I had the same problem with Cinderella bunny. it's not even a deep grey so much as a dark denim blue, so it doesn't match anything black OR navy. it's super frustrating.

>>10296445
same, nta but i bought it and will be slapping a waist bow on that shit.

Anyone ever get this email before? What does it mean

>>10302534
I think it means the person never went to the post office to pick up the package and let it sit until it was returned

>>10301928
Nope, it’s purple

How accommodating are the shoulders for maid dresses costume 850 and 651? Mine are about 41-42cm wide while 2L is at 38cm according to the page.

>>10300843
Different anon but these ones I guess?
https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=64942
I just ordered those. I guess I’ll have to replace the shoe laces, but I like the shape of the platform and heels.

Bodyline is fucking nasty.
I wouldn’t even wear their shoes.

>>10302572
Yawn

new qi lolita dress

>>10302797
and new wa

>>10302797
and new wa

>>10302797
this one isn't too bad, generic but whatever. i can see chinese lolitas looking nice in it but >>10302799 is fucking hideous. not only is that garbage lace an eyesore but it doesn't even go all the way down the sleeves. what the fuck? i'm also sick of this """classic wa""" shit where the tack on a fakeass obijime ties all over it.

>>10302801

Qi lolita always looks better than wa...I hate wa so much for some reason. It just always looks like a cringey weeb's first cosplay on anyone besides cute Asian models.

>>10302832
i still think it looks like weeb's first cosplay on asian models.

>>10302842

Meta makes things look decent in stock photos from the waist up but as soom as I see a lolita skirt and kimono sleeves it stokes a deep seated hatred for wa loli I can't contain

>>10302847
meta's stock photos are always such a bait and switch. i love some of their older japanese prints but some of them looked so unfortunate.

are there any worn pictures or reviews of this L600 dress?

>>10302541
I’m confused, I made 3 orders with them and this one was the only one who’s tracking never updated, the others haven’t even left japan yet?

>>10302887
I own this dress and I like it a lot. It’s comfortable for casual wear, a lot heavier than I originally thought it would be. The only problem I have is with the lace around the arms, my skin is pretty sensitive and I wish they’d used a softer lace

So I ordered something with the free option like two weeks ago, and it shows up on my account, but I didn't get a confirmation email, there's no payment on my PayPal, and the order page still says pending. Does it normally take this long for something to even come up or is it an error?

I ordered something a while back with the paid shipping but I got the confirmation email immediately and it arrived on time. I'm kinda worried that this one didn't even send a confirmation email or show up on my paypal

>>10303828
It's not normal, contact bodyline about it

>>10303876
I reached out already but do they actually respond to English emails?

>>10303876
>>10303881
Okay, I just checked the order page on the Japanese site and under status it says "waiting for deposit" but I don't see an option to pay (thought I already did)

I will probably just place the order a second time and hope it doesn't charge twice

>>10303886
double-check your spam folder first

>>10303881
They have responded to me before, yeah. Might take a little while to get back to you though

>>10303897
I did find the confirmation email in there, but the PayPal payment is still missing for whatever reason. Doesn't show up in my payment history either
>>10303899
Good to know. Guess I'll just hold off then

Is this lace on this one and the other casual cat dress scratchy? It looks comfy otherwise

Anyone have thoughts on L590? I'm in the market for an oldschool-esque hime sleeve blouse and these seem to be passable in the blk-blk and owh-owh colourways but it's hard to tell in the stock photos.

>>10304487
It looks pretty scratchy/plasticky in the photos.

Bodyline got some new photos

>>10304685
the models are cute, the dresses still look like shit

>>10304685
what top is the girl in pink wearing?

>>10304524
fabric isn't very good quality but it works, own it in owh-blk. probably should've got owh-owh or blk-blk looking back

has pmail gotten significantly faster or something? I ordered three pairs of shoes during the sale on the 3rd, first time I'd ordered in a while, and one of the packages just arrived today. I've never received an order in less than five weeks before, let alone two. I expected it to take longer because of the holidays.

Anybody have their basic loafers? I usually wear a size 235 in Bodyline shoes, but I’m considering sizing up to 240 in case they are small since I could always add insoles...

>>10293696
>complaining about no new designs
>doesn't come up with any new ideas for designs
And its because they've all been done.

Thoughts on l445? Not much information on that in the archives and also fairly polar. More recent posts say it's alright, older posts say it's awful.

>>10305725
its one of the better pieces i seen it worn on cof a lot

looks better than >>10304685 by far

>>10305751
Nayrt: For me personally, it’s the other way round. I really like L348, but something about L445 always seems off to me and I don’t like it.
I think it’s those ruched parts at the bottom?

Are these boots gone for good or can they be found on taobao?

>>10306043

Also would like to know. Especially if they're offered in a lower heeled version.

Does anyone have examples of pic related being decently coorded or ideas how one could do that? I bought the red jsk to see how A-line dresses sit on me, but feel completely lost with the pink underskirt part since it's a color I neither own or have worn before.

>>10305725
Looks like it doesn't have enough poof for anything but a sad bodyline petticoat and even though the bag is trying to hide it, the proportions seem off.

>>10306046
unfortunately not they are only offered in a higher-heel version.

I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but that’s it. The skirt is kind of a weird shape.

>>10306063
I'm not a lolita, but I think something like this might be cute?

>>10306811
You should be a lolita! That's adorable.

>>10306811
this is so cute omg

>>10306811
Wow, that's a really cute drawing anon! Thank you for the inspo.

Does anyone have pics of (casual) coords with the L404 skirt? I was looking for it secondhand for a while but as soon as I actually snagged it my brain went blank.

>>10308148
how do you plan on wearing it? i know you said casul, but this skirt is super similar to all those AP minis they made for fairy kei.

>>10308167
I just said casual to specify that I didn't mean lolita coord—I was definitely thinking of fairy kei (or anything else you would see in >>10230005). I'll look for coords with AP minis, that's a great idea!

>>10306063
Give up, be tacky as shit and buy these boots to wear with it.

Just a heads up: Bodyline restocked wristcuffs acc1078 and acc1030 (the one with the little berries) and headdress acc832 (pic related) in all colors.
They’re on sale as well!

>>10308393
where 2 cop?

>>10309564

My order of this one and the round one in white and black just arrived and I just grabbed this one in pink. I realized it goes much better eith the torchon/cluny lace stuff I own than the eyelet lace pink one I have atm.

I grabbed the cutsew in the pic after seeing generally positive things here and it's pretty nice! If anyone has questions about it I would be happy to answer.
Does anyone know if BL's shoes all run at the same size? I have some of their old doc marten boots in 270 and they were big on me. Now I'm seeing some of their shoes are available in size 260 and on a great sale, but I'm worried they'll be too small. Any advice? Whenever I order Aliexpress/Taobao shoes things listed at 26.5 cm in the chart are too small, hence why I always thought I was 27.0. I'm US 11 if that helps.

>>10309638
shoes don't run the same size no. i am the same size as you and i'd recommend against 260. bodyline's sizing is meant to reflect mm, so 260 is a 26 on like aliexpress (which often uses cm).

So I've been wanting S507 / ACSH-0076Y / "Scalloped cut ribbon shoes" for a while and the new shoe sale convinced me it'd be a good idea to go for them.
However, I'm worried that they may have recently tweaked their design. Basically:
> There's two listings for S507
> https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=25919 (old one)
> https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=65135 (new one)
> Old listing only has Black, Beige, Navy x Beige
> New listing has more colors
> Both are the same price
> New listing has new pictures where all the shoes have really fucked up ribbons.
> I looked up customer review photos, which unfortunately don't seem to be that recent, and they didn't have this issue. (pic related is a comparison)

Has anybody bought them recently and could tell me how they turned up looking?

grabbed some shoes, s527 have already arrived! might be getting the long lace up boots and maybe one more pair of something or other before the sale goes off. I'm not brand spanking new, but I haven't been in the fashion very long so this is quite exciting to me. if anyone wants pics/reviews I'd be happy to do so when they arrive.

>>10309782
I shied away from these for the same reason. that bow is.... something else. also interested in reviews for these.

>>10309866
If you can do a review of the petti that would be lovely!

>>10309571
They were on closet child, but have already sold. They're Jesus Diamante boots.

>>10309782
Oof, I ordered those in white yesterday... I already own them in brown and navy/beige and like them, so I didn’t even look at the pictures closely.
I can do a comparison once they arrive.

>>10309866
The lace up boots I ordered arrived yesterday. They’re a bit more shiny than expected, but generally okay. If you’d like, I can take some detail pictures?

>>10309947
I would love to see a comparison once the white shoes arrive, thank you so much anon!

>>10309782
Oh man, I ordered a bunch of these in different colours when they restocked the other day because I have the old version in wine x beige and found them really nice and comfy, didn't even pay attention to the new images much. Hope they haven't changed too much, as I know before they ran small so I ordered them all half a size bigger, I don't want them all to be too big now! If the bows are wonky too that'll be disappointing.

>>10309564

Thanks for the heads up anon! I ended up ordering the berry wristcuffs in owh and the other style in pink and black.

>>10309870
i've had that petti for 3 years and it's still goin strong

>>10309870
I had that petti when I started out a few years ago and it wasn't too bad poofwise with some stacking, the waist band is very thick and strong so it isn't hugely forgiving, you might end up feeling the squeeze of the waistband after a days wear and the lining isn't as long as the petti either so the petticoats material may tend to fuzz up your tights or be scratchy against your leg as well as it isn't particularly soft.

>>10308393
I need these for reasons

Bodyline is currently stocking lucky packs for 2020. There were two this morning and now they've added more. Guessing they'll go up on the 6th with their New Year sale

>>10310641
I’m so tempted to get the 11000 yen pack just to see what will be in it.
>inb4 multiples of the same item are sent

>>10310648
I'm planning on getting one as well. The price per item is just too good.

I've gotten several of their packs before and they've had some good stuff but it's 50/50. At least the wigs will be good.

>>10310648

I actually want some cutsew sleeves in offwhite for an incomplete OP I bought so that 14 detachable sleeves meme would be useful to me this year.

>>10310641
>how many yen for the sleeves super-pack?

>>10310708
2020 yen, special deal.

Bodyline has uploaded a bunch of new stock images. Some of them seem to be for new (?) pieces. Since they changed to a new numbering system maybe you can identifiy them by their looks.

Definetly is the same cut as l510 and l417 (see >>10306063)

>>10310796

I've seen this fabric before.

I guess they're leaning into using basic easy to find Japanese fabric and doing minimal effort in cut and design for their prints.

Thank you so much for the updates anon!
I'm the shoe bow autist from earlier and I had a look at their new stock photos for S507.
It seems like their bow quality is all over the place...

Nostalgic feels gulls, really happy bodyline is carrying on for the next generation, when stock dwindled and then mr yan sold it on was sure it was a goner, consigned to be a piece of lolita history. I remember in 2008 getting tons of bodyline crap in the sales and thinking its better than I expected, most people would have 3 or so brand items they wore to death back then and a wardrobe of handmade, its & bodyline. Pouring over bodyline reviews on egl on livejournal, looking for the gems amongst the rubbish. There are lots of options nowadays but I am glad its still around.

>>10310813
Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit nigga i need this one thanks for posting,blessed anon

>>10310834
same anon,big fucking same,i'm relieved

>>10310798
This one would be a cute Christmas dress. I didn't like this model at first. I thought she looked too mature for sweet looks, but now I'm digging her. She reminds me of Ichigo modeling for Baby with a RBF in Kamikaze Girls

>>10310834
I feel like this too. There was something charming about the tiny wardrobes with a few treasured pieces of brand. It was a fun challenge to make Bodyline work with your other stuff and look good.

>>10310805
I'd totally buy this is not for the collar. It just doesn't go with it.

>>10310800
I so wish this came in black, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

>>10310802
Happy that they're bringing back this shirred cut.

>>10310812
Freaking love these parasols! So cheap, kinda want to see if I can grab some when I'm in Japan in February.

>>10310834
Same, anon, same. Bodyline has a place in my heart and in my wardrobe, even now.

>>10311233
>I so wish this came in black, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
According to a comment on FB, the fabric they used is available in 4 different colors. So maybe there's still room for hope.

>>10310802
this cut was so much cuter with the cake fabric

>>10310812
>>10310813
fucking YESSSS

>I so wish this came in black, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

me too anon

I'm happy they are doing new stuff but where the f are my solids, bl???

>tfw their cookies new dress is a ripoff of a pattern i drew years ago that some bitch stole off my DA and submitted to their shitty contest

>>10311402
THIS, did people really ask for more prints on that survey they did???? am judging hard rn

>>10311434
I know I did. I don't care about solids.

>>10311434
Judging with you.
I think Bodyline solids can (emphasis on can) be charming since it’s not obvious they’re Bodyline. They can be styled really nicely. With prints, it’s really obvious it’s Bodyline, and not in a good way...

more new

>>10311510

>>10311510
inb4 every old schooler owns this

>>10311511

>>10311513
looks like meta

>>10311511
>>10311513
This looks like a pattern photoshopped on a sailor collared dress.

I can see their design pitch for it: "lolita dress must have a print! and sailor collars are uwu kawaii so let's slap one on every dress!"

>>10311512
I’m an old schooler and I can assure you I’m not gonna touch that thing.

>>10311512
that dress has been around for ages newfag, not a single old schooler has owned it

>>10311510
>>10311511
>>10311513

have been around for quite some time. Kind of surprised though they restocked those busy print dresses with sailor collars.

>>10311434
Would be atleast interesting to see what the demographic of the people who filled them out looks like. Maybe they think having the few solids that are currently in stock is enough?

>>10311599
I hope this is a) just some old stock they need to get rid of and b) it doesn’t sell well.
But if I’m honest with myself, those are actually newly produced dresses. That weird gobelin dress used to be part velvet and now that’s clearly polyester.
Bodyline why

>>10311586
Not saying this is old school but it's not a bad piece. It's a close design replica to a VM dress. If I can dig up the original I'll post

>>10311402
And they still haven't restocked l087 in black yet

And still no sign of l087 in black getting restocked like every other color...

>>10310800
This remind me of Cherish my Juice cherry. Kinda cute tho

>>10310814
Some poor ita is going to buy this>>10310815

>>10310815
>>10310816
these look sick for gyaru, but ffs bodyline what is >>10310814?

>>10311434
If I remember I asked for both. I honestly love all-over prints so yeah.

>>10311510
As others have said, this is an older dress. I have it and I love it, it's one of my favourites.

>>10311619
Objectively it’s probably a good dress (at least the older version with the velvet), but I have to admit I just personally don’t like it. Something about the colors, the mix of the two fabrics and the beading lace?
Also, I always have to think of this review and can’t unsee the weird bust line: http://bienaimeefashion.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-bodyline-review.html?m=1

I wonder how the quality is now that they’ve switched out the velvet fabric.

>>10310812
Man I looked at the price of these on the website and you might as well buy a brand parasol.

>>10311810
I think all the items they've recently added will be available for cheaper in a couple of months during a sale.

>>10311512
Are you high

Just bought a huge haul and it's my first time shopping from them. How long does the package usually take to arrive to US?

>>10311804
>>10311510

Just posting to say I've never seen this dress coorded well. Bodyline rips off a lot of stuff from other brands but also quite often fucks up some detail or another. This one the proportion always seemed to look a bit off.

Not trying to shit on those that love it, just putting in one more opinion so other people reading this thread don't get the impression that it's universally loved. Although I do realise if you buy bodyline you definitely gotta do your homework and check owner photos and reviews.

>>10311907
nah but most neo old schoolers are tacky as hell

>>10312605
P-mail: 1-2 months
EMS: 2-3 weeks

>>10312605
It depends, I bought wigs and a pair of shoes at the start of the month and it took 2.5 weeks! But another pair of shoes I purchased a few days before those are still in transit.

The lucky packs are active. Looks like the biggest one you can't choose a size, they just send the costumes in a variety of sizes.

Caved and went for their 7 item lucky pack cause eh let's live a lil, now I'm curious as to what Bodyline is going to chuck in it for me.

Was actually browsing for their shoes... I'm legit one of those 'can't give up without getting SOMETHING' people so I guess I'm getting costumes and wigs instead of shoes lol

>>10293652

Do you gulls think they will sell the bonnet they have models wearing in some New product photos? I'd love some soft bonnets in white and Black x white...head and footwear is the main reason I ever buy bodyline and I hope they produce more solid accessory staples

>>10313461
They're having a big sale starting the 6th so you can always get some stuff then.

a friend and I bought some headpieces together on Friday, got EMS, and it arrived today. Japan to Midwestern US in less than a week. wtf bodyline in a good way.

>>10302797
>>10302799
For some reason, these dresses are MTO and apparently will not be regularly available. I wonder why? Doesn't look like there's anything special about them

https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=64939

Contact lens gacha??

>>10310812
I miss the days when they did $10 umbrellas and free shipping

>>10313581

Honestly my first thought is they're really ugly, but they also attract ita weebs like flies. Maybe they're trying the MTO thing to see how many will bite, rather than waste inventory space hoping some weebs turns up to buy them tomorrow?

>>10311599

I just wish they'd do one full shirring solid item (like the bustle jsk they are doing for those tacky prints, but preferably without the bustle which would probably be cheaper/easier anyway.)

>>10314080
I don't think weebs are interested in qi much though. I want the qi dress for CNY-wear myself but not for $60...

>>10314090
plz don't wear that for CNY anon, it's not very cute.

>>10314090

You're not chinese, otherwise your mom would have ingrained "no black" for CNY into you by now. Anyway, if you want qiloli you're better off getting them from fan plusfriend or one of the taobao brands. More choices, better designs and less costumey than Bodyline at least.

re: weebs, that's what I'm saying. It's always hard to tell what kind of illogical conclusion their birdbrains have made, like if waloli is an ita staple maybe they'll wear qiloli instead. Hence my guess is Bodyline is doing MTO instead of going into full production and avoid possibly stocking a dress that weebs aren't interested in.

>>10301268

any more experiences from tall lolitas wearing bodyline?

>>10310812
These are literally from taobao

>>10313148
it came faster than I expected, ordered on the 30th of december and it came yesteerday on the 4th of january using ems, shipping was free too i guess cus i bought a shitload of stuff.

How much larger than your normal shoe size do you go for when ordering from Bodyline? I recently ordered for the first time, and the shoes are too small for me despite going half a size up from my normal size (I'm a UK 4 and ordered 23.0)

>>10315914
If you're a UK 4 you want to order 23.5 in my experience (I wear the same size)

>>10315915
Thank you, that is useful to know! My toes were hitting the end of the shoe even standing still in them so I thought I might even order 24 another time (they included insoles when they sent them out in case they were too big I guess?)

>>10313461
if you see this, please post your lucky pack content? I'm iffy about getting one myself, I'd like to see what someone else has received first (of course I hope you get a great deal from it!)

>>10315919
For narrower heels like the enamel bow heels I find 23 fits better for me but for most of their flatter/wider styles (RHS, most TP's etc) I think 23.5 is better. Especially if you plan to wear socks with them. Which style did you buy?

>>10315928
I got the scallop edged shoes with bow on front & heel (ACSH-0076Y) and the low-heeled heart buckle double strap shoes (ACSH-0067Y) - I think they're both the newer range of shoes but they do have different sizing systems (23.0 vs S)

>>10315929
In case I re-order the shoes: stupid question but does "~06/01/2020" mean the New Year sale starts on the 6th or finishes on the 6th?

wow, this new sale sucks. how often do they have the 50% off sales?

>>10315930
starts on the 6th

>>10310806
i fucking wish this looked better. the print is so cute but everything else about it is terrible.

I'm still not seeing that Max 90% off sale. The sale category itself only goes up to 60% and every time I click on the banner it redirects to the lucky packs.

Has anyone purchased this shirt? What's the quality of it if anyone has.

>>10316370
Clicking the "draw a fortune" flash on the info page gives you a coupon for additional 5%-30% off (% amount of coupon is random)

I want a low-poof petti for casual coords. Are BL ones a good option for this?

>>10316753
I'm only getting 5-20% off max how did you get the 30%off?

>>10316802
Yes they're good for very little poof or to be worn as very kei skirts, they dont won't really sustain the form of a heavy dress though

>>10316802
Yes, although some are a bit short

>>10316802
BL pettis are made of tulle and will have nonexistent poof after a short time if you buy a low key one. I have a 2 layer MeLikesTea organza petti and it works perfectly for casual wear... I’d suggest that before BL

>>10310812
Anyone else get these with the free ems?

got a bodyline blouse and the peter pan collar is so ridiculously oversized. can anyone recommend some that look decent?

>>10317023
what item was it?

So Bodyline just dropped this super mega LP.

>30 costumes
>20 pannier
>10 sexy costumes
>40 wigs
>30 misc items

Pray for me gulls, I'm going for it.

Yes please post it.

Will do! I love getting Bodyline lucky packs so I'm excited to post some more

>>10317339
Posting this here so I don't forget I added other stuff to the order and think I got sent shoes in my LP. Also those random coupons helped. I just kept playing until I got 20% off.

>>10317339
Please report back once your lucky pack arrives.

>>10317343
I'm >>10309782 shoesperg anon, please let me know how your Scalloped Cut Ribbon Shoes turn out!

How do Bodyline shoes compare to dreamv shoes?

>>10317416
I'm another anon who ordered these shoes, and the bows definitely aren't as nice or sturdy now. I ordered them in dred, pink, black and brown. I already own the older style in the winexbeige colourway so I compared them. (sorry about the mud! I've only recently been wearing them and haven't had time to clean them yet)
The back bows are no longer completely secured to the shoe, and are just held on with a piece of sewn on pleather, so they've kind of curled up at the corners. The black pair are already slightly torn at the top of the bow and in fact the brown pair arrived with one bow hanging off (advice on reattaching it well are welcomed, I may attempt to sew it back on). The front bows aren't stitched at the edges now and are glued instead, the glue is kind of messy around the bows too. The edge on the pink pair had unfolded slightly so I had to press it back into place. They are definitely not as neat or defined as the original bows were but it's not the worst thing I've seen. The construction of the shoes themselves still feel solid and well put together. The branding of the Bodyline logo on the inside has changed as well. I think it's still wise to order them half a size up as the fit is still the same. They all arrived in thier own individual boxes and also came with extra insoles. Images (1/2)

>>10317497
Pics (2/2) the worst flaws on the bows.
Considering the price I paid overall I'm not disappointed though it is a shame the bow quality has changed, I'll just have to put some work in to try and improve thier appearance slightly.

I ended up ordering a few things. Mainly a bunch of discounted wigs I'm hoping to be able to style for all my cosplays this year. Also questionable 80 yen christmas costume.

>>10317497
>>10317499
Oh wow, this was super informative! Thank you so much. I guess they must have changed manufacturers for their shoes, and the new manu created an approximation of the old style. That's my best guess, at least!

Diff anon, but I have also received my pair (white ones on the left) and I agree with what the other anon wrote.
The bows really aren’t that nice anymore...

>>10317526
Those are such good deals, especially the JSK.

>>10317589
Thanks! I couldn't pass up the deal. Was for the green jsk in M, so hoping it fits and also that I can find a blouse that works with it

>>10295651
Had the brown velvet OP at one point and holy shit was it bad quality. This was several years ago so hopefully yours will be okay?

>>10317339
