>>10456755
There’s already a blue one on fril going for 10K yen

>>10456396
I got the OP in my first colorway choice and I'm so happy I could cry.

I missed it on the JP site and of course it immediately went for practically 500+. Then I missed ICP and the necklace which I was super sad about. For some reason I didn't think Topping Heart would be on the US shop because it is so coveted already so I can't believe I managed to get it. After life kicking me a lot while I was down and then missing out on ICP and another dream print, it is really nice that I was able to snag such a gorgeous dress that I never thought I would get to own. And it's cotton too, I can't believe it.

>>10456764
I really wanted to like Topping Heart and I was originally excited for it, but so many design elements were just off for me - the long limp bows, the pure lace waist ties, the way the sax and blue layers blend together and become oddly lavender (I really dislike lavender), every AP dress having an A-line shape instead of a bell, etc.

I hope you like it anon. I was impressed the base of the dress was cotton, and I wish it had just a few differences.

>>10456765
>sax and blue
lol I meant "sax and pink"

>>10456764
I didn’t buy Topping Heart in the Japan release because I thought it would be unpopular and stay in stock, and ended up buying other dresses between then and now so I couldn’t afford to go for the US release. Nonprint AP usually doesn’t retain value well though so I’m hoping to find it secondhand.

>>10456765
I definitely agree with you in terms of the JSK, but the OP luckily doesn't have those same issues and can be worn with both a bell and a-line petti. One of my friends managed to get it and it's stunning in person, the details are incredibly gorgeous and it is the first dress I have seen in a very long time where the construction is so well done and perfect. I was worried about the waist ties too but they actually look really nice, surprisingly. And thank you, it is very exciting!

>>10456767
I hope you can manage to get it one day, I'm so sorry you missed it and I definitely know that feeling. That is typically true for their nonprints, but this one of the few that became pretty coveted right away, which I agree it is pretty surprising to see it sell for so much second hand. But I hope you can manage to find it for close to retail in the future, it is lovely!

>>10456816
Aw, thanks anon! I did pick up the headbow and socks so if I do find it for a good price someday I’m ready to coord it. I’ll be looking out for cute Topping Heart coords to make me happy in the meantime!

>>10456816
Anytime recently with AP when someone says "actually the dress is beautiful in real life!" and I see it, I've still thought it looks bad.

Wish I could put that in OP, but didn’t make it for a thread baking

>>10456845
Now I see why people call you annoying

>>10456845
stop posting.

>>10456845
If it gets rereleased now it'll just have shitty fabric and fatty sizing, no thanks.

>>10456845
I can't sign either of these because they don't explicitly state for the dresses to be rereleased in both cotton and original sizing. I don't want a landwhale polyester tent. I think only the SC petition mentioned cotton.

Thank you AP for blessing us with this plastic bag mannequin head.

>>10456851
I love Japanese shop staff. I’m living for the cute smiley face.

>>10456845
>tfw petition tard didn't do shit the first time
you realize that they put honey cake on the ballots for the rerelease vote and that's literally the only reason they even decided to look at your petition.

>>10456852
I couldn't resist

>>10456847
>>10456848
Hide the post and move on your day. It’s literally one post per thread.

>>10456858
I don’t mind the post itself, but whining that you didn’t get to make it the OP post is cringe.

>>10456850
Are you retarded?
The first one says we want it to be released in cotton

>>10456853
SC has made it to the ballot tho

>>10456863
>Are you retarded?

I said
>I think only the SC petition mentioned cotton.

Please learn to read my post before getting triggered.

>>10456868
It's too late. i'm not even going to keep talking tho, she will find out on her own that japan couldn't give two shits about her harassment.

>>10456873
DA, here's your post
> I can't sign either of these
> either

Thing is making decisions about sizing and quality is up to AP no matter of text. Petition is made to show that people are actually willing to buy the thing when it's back in stock. SC petition says "every cut and colourway", but they might end up doing jsk's only in say pink and sax (and navy, hopefully :P ).

>>10456887
Sugary Carnival doesn’t have navy...if you mean the special set, it’s just blue, and they definitely wouldn’t include it.

>>10456887
How can I show I'm willing to buy something when that completely depends on whether the sizing will fit me? Even if my ultimate dream dress gets rereleased, if it has Honey Cake sizing, I'm not going to buy it.

>>10456889
You do know the slight alteration to make a dress a little smaller is very easy, right? You're so whiny

>>10456890
Making a lolita dress 10 cm smaller is pretty hard without compromising the design and structural integrity of the dress.

>>10456888
This is what I've used to think special set color is called. Anyway they did rerelease Strawberry Doll set before, plus let's not forget CTP MTO. It's not that impossible.

I honestly don't know how to feel about rare items rereleases. It's completely understandable why people are not amused with petitioning, overpaying for a dress to see everyone and their cat wearing it sucks. At another hand people are struggling to catch sweet things second hand, especially with current pricing.

>>10456936
Strawberry Doll had the MTO the same year the dress was originally released. Im not even going to get into you mentioning CTP because it’s not relevant.

If they do rerelease a dress that’s over ten years old, they’re not going to include the special color. I can’t stop anyone from dreaming but I would stake my bank account and my house on it.

>>10456868
do they expect us to pick one print for re-release??
theres like 11 i'd die for

>>10456900

Not really? I've had to make dresses smaller before and it isn't all that hard. Especially with AP because when they size up pieces the bust cup size doesn't get any bigger, they just make it for a wide flat person. My weight fluctuates up and down an extreme amount because of my health condition so in various stages of lolita I've made stuff a little bigger and smaller. Both are an inconvenience but hardly difficult. Tbh though with making things smaller it is not exactly worth the time since it doesn't increase the comfort of the dress a significant amount more.

>>10456845
I don't want SC becoming the next HC. From good quality statement item to poly shit that every fatty owns.

>>10456890
I'm not gonna pay +€300 on a dress and then get it altered just because the main target nowadays are landwhales. If only they would make more sizes

>>10456937
Thing is none of us is AP's representative, therefore we can't know for sure. Regular SC is nearly ten years old too yet people still petition for its rerelease.

>>10456845
I can’t tell if you’re actually this autistic or you’re actively trying to irritate everyone

>>10456977
> everyone
How can you tell these come from multiple anons but not only one exceptionally salty anonymous?

>>10456978
Because I’m familiar with this girls drama. She didn’t get the boot from her comm for nothing

>>10456978
Yeah, imagine being salty enough to derail the thread over one post for this long already.

>>10456984
It’s not one person. So ofc there will be people mentioning it for a while. She doesn’t know when to quit

>>10456989
>>10456978

>>10456993
Because I’m one person and only commented >>10456978. So there’s at least one more person. But I know of at least three people I’m close with that don’t like this girl. So I don’t doubt there are enough people for all of those to be different people

>>10456989
>She doesn’t know when to quit
I can tell the same thing about anon complaining about petition. There's one (1) post promoting the signature collection and a chain of posts insisting on them being annoying. Just do your math, anon just tries to derail the whole thing for whatever reason.

>>10456996
You’re either this girl or her friend WKing her or new enough to not be aware of her drama, so which is it?

>>10456999
I'm not the person who's started the petition. I have no idea about their identity, therefore I can neither approve not deny it's Honey Cake petition starter. I support the petition because - surprise! - I'm interested in rerelease. Funny thing, basically whatever petition can be derailed for that reason. Anon missed to post the petition on FB fist and bring

Also I can tell there's someone who wants to derail the campaign. I'm nearly 100% sure it's the same person who's tried to sabotage Honey Cake petition trying to steer drama. One anonymous is sufficient for that, no matter how many times they claim themselves to be different people. I partly support this whole thing because bullshit people can't be the reason of why we can't have nice things.

This attitude is fucked and basically the thing that adds in toxicity to lolita community.

>>10457008
You’re retarded. It’s not just one person “trying to derail the campaign.” It’s several people who are sick of this girl and her autistic ass harassing people. Get a mental health check for your delusions.

>>10457013
Just ignore >>10457008 anon. It’s easier for idiots to dig their heels in than to admit there’s something they don’t know. This girl didn’t get banned from her comm for being an angel but you can’t get that through to stupid people if they don’t want to listen

>>10457013
Anon, stop with your gaslighting already. You can't even be assed to make some proofs to confirm it's the same person starting SC and HC petitions besides "I can't tell by their stance".

>>10457015
There’s proof on the farm. Unless you’re too new to recognize her

>>10457015

She literally claimed to be the same person that started the honeycake petition.

>>10456868
seeing this gives me hope for a romantic rose letter rerelease. i think im the only one who wants that lmao

>>10456868

I only care about the berry prints desu; give me Melty Berry Princess MTO AP-sama

>>10457016
>>10457022
I never saw that prior. Not new, just don't really care about that drama. I'm here for pony stuff basically.

>>10456868
>sugar pansy
PLEASE

>>10457033
Just a thought but maybe you should actually learn about what you’re talking about before sperging our about it

>>10456868
Tfw no Milky-chan...

>>10457041
First, I don't see proofs of HC and SC anons being the same people, SC petition has never been mentioned there. Second, I still don't really care. Whoever created it are step ahead me because they actually bothered to take action. We have a space to collect votes now, I just don't see a problem with that.

>be me
>Predict honey cake re release
>Sell jsk thinking I can buy favored colorway when rereleased
>Honey cake is rereleased, but the new version sucks and I don't even want it
>Colorway I sold now goes for $300 more

>>10457075
Your mistake was not waiting until finding out it was crap polyester before selling the original.

>>10457054
sorry you're retarded.

Can someone please explain to me how a re-release is bad considering:

1. If they re-release in poly like HC, the original cotton versions just appreciate and sell for more, becoming even more coveted? (When I got my HC MTO and didn't like the poly, I unexpectedly sold it for double of what I paid.)

2. If they re-release in cotton, it is still a niche fashion so even if every lolita bought it that's still not that many people compared to the rest of the world and eventually they will become coveted again since a MTO is still a finite amount of dresses with new people entering the fashion all the time. Just look at holy lantern. Only CTP's was affected but it already sells more than retail.

I own various Sugary Carnival and Milky Planet cuts/colorways and would still do the MTO in cotton for a few more because nothing beats buying new from the brand.

Re-releases are only a positive thing.

>>10457076
How would they have known? Did AP ever make significant changes to the material on an MTO before that? Cat’s Tea Party and Cinema Doll kept the original fabric as far as I know.

>>10456957
You're a bit too invested in other people's business. If you're this salty maybe just delete your socials as this doesn't seem to be the fashion for you.

>>10457008
Lolitas who don't want these re-releases simply won't care and will ignore it, as opposed to trying to sabotage it. So yep, either trolls or they mad because they spent big second hand bucks on MP/SC and don't want to feel like an idiot. (Too late.)

>>10457088
I will happily buy rereleases even if they're poly and the size is different. I want the print, I don't care about whatever else. People are too whiny and entitled imo.

>>10457094
>>10457096
your samefagging is out of this world.

>>10457092
exactly. not every rerelease is poly

freshly picked strawberries is being done in cotton i believe.

>>10457097
Look at the timestamps, genius.

>>10457088
I get what you're saying anon but for people who don't own SC in cotton yet and have no interest in polyester, the cotton version selling for even more than they do now is just annoying. I don't see a downside if they release it in cotton, unless they pull some shit like not including all the colorways or whatever.

>>10457097
k

>>10457100
No I agree, cotton would be best. I hated the poly HC too as the ivory looked so dull. But when I sold the MTO it already appreciated double of when I ordered it, so I only benefitted from that. If you check LM it is only going up in price as well. So technically, that profit could be used towards paying more for a cotton version second hand.

But yes, it does suck when not a cotton release for those who don't own the print at all. However if it is a poly re-release vs nothing, the poly is still better.

>>10457105
Are you even listening? I swear you bitches want the poly release so you can make a killing on your faded cotton ones.

>>10456868
Just gonna throw this out there - Toy Fantasy wasn't on this list and got a MTO. Limited to Kyoto, but still.

>>10457094
It has nothing to do with the potential rerelease of these items, but everything to do with how shitty the person who starts these petitions is

>>10457110
>However if it is a poly re-release vs nothing, the poly is still better.
Okay, seriously, what is wrong with your reading comprehension? At first I thought you were a troll but now it looks like you are just illiterate.

Also, you sound extremely similar to that person who wanted to start keeping a list of people buying older sweet dresses to harass them and who has been bitching non stop about the rising prices of second hand sweet because they were too lazy to buy them sooner.

Hate to break it to you, but a lot of people are keeping their original cotton prints because, gasp, they like them. Not everyone is as obsessed with second hand prices as you are.

>>10457054
You’re intentionally being obtuse at this point. Or you’re actually retarded. Whichever it is is equally pathetic. You can keep on denying it while everyone else can accept that 2 + 2 = 4. It’s fine if you “aren’t interested” in drama but then you can’t keep inserting yourself into the conversation when you don’t know all the facts to it. The proof is her face. It’s been attached to all of her public stuff, including the last petition because she spoke about creating the petition. The problem isn’t the petition. The problem is the girl who made it. And because it’s this girl yet again on her bullshit people are going to take issue with her actions.

>>10457114
So... if someone else started them, it would be entirely okay?

>>10457119
The petitions themselves are entirely okay, yes. The girl who has been starting them has a long history of being terrible and was banned from her comm for it too. Everyone I’ve talked to who is aware of who she is does not have a favorable opinion of her.

>>10457121
Okay, well, weird, since she gets no fame, notoriety, or money from making them, but whatever. Someone who wants the re-releases should just start new petitions then and this weird vendetta issue will be squashed. (Except the Karens above who just hate all re-releases for no reason.)

>>10457126
>vendetta

You’re totally right anon. It was just a vendetta that got her kicked out of her comm, not her own behavior. It’s not her fault people are mad at her for harassing them about the honey cake special set, it’s a vendetta! She had no choice but to stalk people’s instagrams, facebooks, and lacemarkets and message them. It’s not her fault she goes around acting like a total cunt and people are upset about it. It’s a vendetta!

>>10457129
It's interesting all these issues are only coming to light now but if that's the case, go farm about it with proof/caps to warn others. Going on and on about her and the petitions ITT is a waste of space at this point, we get it already.

>>10457132
It isn’t “only coming to light now.” You’re just either new, don’t have friends in this community, an idiot, or a combination of those.

>>10457132
>starts argument
>gets mad at people responding

>>10457126
Spoonfeed me please, how do you tell it's her? This is from SC petition. "AD" is not clickable and there's no way to see their profile.

>>10457136
She was posting about making this a few weeks ago...

>>10457136
I’m baffled as to how you’re this stupid and still managing to breathe. She calls herself “petition-anon”, and that’s the name given to the HC petition starter. So she acknowledges she’s the sameness person, she said in her own post for these new petitions that it’s her. Jesus fucking christ you are dense.

>>10457135
>"Can we move on" = Starting an argument
k

>>10457133
That is correct, I don't know or give a crap about your little podunk comm, but the only time she was mentioned here was during the HC petition and there wasn't much to see. Like I said, farm the caps or stfu. No one cares about your opinions.

>>10457141
>farm the caps

There’s no way you’re not new. Nobody uses this phrase and it just sounds like someone who just heard about the farm but doesn’t know what it is is trying to sound in the know kek.

>>10457144
That reach, who ever said it was a phrase? Just calm down, share the proof, and stop shitting up this thread.

>>10457148
It was the phrase you used which outed you as a newfag. You used the word “farm” wrong in the context it’s in for the lolita community. She’s already on the farm.

Anon, you'd better make your defense line more cohesive. First you claim it's her photo all over, now you say it "AD" nickname even tho there's no way to verify that since HC petition link seems dead.

>>10457150
Aside from petition discussion, stop normalizing lolcow lurking. Not everyone here kees up with that on daily basis.

>>10457150
Anon, you are coming across as unhinged.

>>10457154
Nobody said that “AD” was the nickname identifying her. The only mention of “AD” is >>10457136 who is defending her. I don’t understand how you can be this stupid but it’s wild to watch so keep it up

>stop normalizing lolcow lurking

Is particularly stupid and laughable considering lolcow only exists because of drama on this very board.

>>10457159
Wait, you identified her by her calling herself "petition anon", right? Is that your super proof? Because basically anybody here can call themselves as such when making a petition.

Like really, let's review the proofs

>>10457116
>The proof is her face. It’s been attached to all of her public stuff, including the last petition because she spoke about creating the petition.
HC petition link is dead, no avatar displayed on change.org

>>10457138
>She was posting about making this a few weeks ago...
No screenshots of posting that lets us unequivocally identity her

Anon, your major proof is your posting "oh, you're so stupid, how can you be so stupid for not seeing posts I saw some time ago". Bring here some real screenshot evidence in full or chill tf down.

>>10457161
She also posted about it like >>10457138 said but no matter her long history of doing shit like this I doubt retards like you can get it through your skull. Anyone who is aware of who she is is laughing at your “real screenshot proof” demands too. Keep on crying about muh proofs while the rest of this who actually know what’s going on think you’re retarded.

>>10457164
Another variation of what we've read already instead of actual evidence, even tho posting actual screenshots would take less time and effort.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>10457170
You just won’t get it through your skull and

>¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You just keep making it obvious how painfully new you are.

What would you guys' top 5 AP rereleases be, if you had to choose?

>>10457172
You are replying to more than one person, you neurotic mess.

>>10457170
no one needs to prove anything to you. stop acting like this is an interrogation.

>>10457179
i'd love a romantic rose letter and melty ribbon chocolate rerelease. but like, an actual rerelease for mrc. the 2019 version is awful

>>10456868
I’m pissed that milky pony carnival made it on there when so many better prints didn’t

>>10457179
In no particular order:
1. Puppet Circus
2. Sugary Carnival
3. Chess Chocolate
4. Cat's Tea Party
5. Milky Planet
runner up: Holy Lantern

either due to iconic status or popularity. I personally don't like all 5, but imo these are the ones I'd choose.

personally favorite AP releases:
1. Star Night Theater
2. Twinkle Mermaid
3. Milky Berry
4. Holy Night Story
5. Dream Sky

>>10457179
Decoration dream, sugar dream dome, Nakayoshi bunny, candy treat, and candy fun fair

>>10457236
I feel like milky pony resells for cheap too? I swear I've seen it go for around 150 every time, if you really want it its not that expensive.

>>10457179
1. Milky Planet
2. Jewelry Jelly, but it's less faded
3. Toy Fantasy (I know there's a MTO, but it was Japan only)
4. Cherry Berry Bunny
5. Milky Berry but the print doesn't run this time

>>10457237
Nayrt but I think you misunderstood the question. Someone correct me if I’m wrong though, but I think anon meant top 5 prints you want AP to rerelease. Unless you really want another Holy Lantern rerelease.

>>10457014
>banned from her comm
Deets?

>>10457179
1. Misty Sky Brilliant Tea Party edition
2. Usagiyorokobu Hananoen Shibuya store edition
3. Melty Ribbon Chocolate
4. Carnival appliqué
5. Cinema Doll

>>10457179
In no particular order:

1. Misty Sky Brilliant, Daydream specifically
2. Milky Planet OG
3. Sugar Candy Shop
4. La Princesse Sucre
5. Gloria

>>10457179
1) Cinema Doll - my favourite dress is old and worn so I want a new one
2)Milky Chan including the appliqué version and all accessories
3)Melody Doll
4)A certain non print dress I won’t name here bc I want the price to stay low if it pops up
5)Osanpo Candy Chan or maybe Dollhouse

>>10457179
1. Carnival OP specifically the pink x sax
2. Original Milky Planet
3. MRC, not because I want it but because I want everyone who wants it to get it
dont care about the rest

>>10457179
For me it's:
1. Melty Ribbon Chocolate
2. La Princesse Sucre
3. Romantic Rose Letter
4. Milky Planet
5. Sweetie Chandelier

Honorable mention is Twinkle Mermaid.

>>10457282
i also would love a cinema doll release! mine isn't quite as worn but i would love the accessories and socks.

>>10457298
I wish AP had just rereleased Twinkle Mermaid instead of Chateau d’écume

>>10457303
Same here! Chateau d'ecume was so disappointing. I usually love Imai Kira prints but the shitty poly and lack of detail was really disappointing.

>>10457303

scum castle was such a disappointment, but I still had friends who bought it, hated the material and still kept the damn thing.

>>10457179
1. La Princesse Sucre
2. Wish Me Mell Tea Time (will never happen but hey)
3. Milky Planet
4. Sugar Dream Dome
5. Day Dream Carnival

>>10457310
Oh fuck I’d die if there was ever a re-release of wish me mell

>>10456868
I want castle mirage and milky cross in better cuts. I'm not even a titty monster, 32D

>>10457309
I bought it and was immediately disgusted and sold it. Kind of feel sorry for the sucker I sold it too but oh well, not my problem.

>>10457179
1. Jewelry Jelly on poly fuck y'all hoes
2. Holy Lantern low waist corset jsk cut
3. Sugary Carnival on poly again and 2-4 cm bigger get fuckin wrecked
4. Milky Cross pentagram jsk but with an older style just waist bodice cut and partial shirring
5. Sugar Pansy either cut, partial or full back shirring

>>10457092
They just shipped the fantasic dolly mto like a month or two ago that was in poly instead of cotton and I havent heard nearly the same amount of reeing about that like there has been with HC.

>>10456868
>>10456853
You realize this wasn't a "re-release" vote right?
It was the Angelic Pretty Textile Award at the LaForet museum exhibition - this didn't have anything to do with voting for re-releases.

>>10457273
>>10457280
AP has already re-released the special limited Brilliant Colorways

Is it weird that I want Un Birthday rereleased but with new cuts? Both the JSK and OP are so bad, that print really deserves better

>>10457323
I don’t think I ever said they didn’t. I said I wanted Daydream to be rereleased again, it’s still incredibly rare.

>>10457324
Yeah, there are definitely some dresses I wish AP would pull a Milky Planet on and revamp, but like, not fuck it up

>>10457301
You're aware Cinema Doll had an MTO the same time Horror Garden and CTP had one, right?

>>10457325
You're asking for a re-release of something that did, in fact, get one - but then again I guess technically so did Milky Planet and Sugary Carnival, so

>>10457328
ik they did, but i just want it for the accessories lol

>>10457323
i wasn't referencing the swatches, my comment had nothing to do with that.

>>10457328
I’m aware. I didn’t get it at the time because I already have it. Now I’m regretting not getting a new one. It would be nice to have the socks too.

>>10457346
Just stating it because people keep thinking the voting had to do with re-releases and it didn't, or at least AP never said it out loud

>>10457321
I don't know about fantasic dolly but part of my gripe is the cut looks totally different on the rerelease, like they used less fabric, or it's just that skirt is less bell shaped. It doesn't look as nice.

>>10457388

If it's poly while the original was cotton that would explain it looking like lower quality.

Is there any other AP dress that's made of the same material as the original Fantastic Dolly? I absolutely love it.

>>10457352
fair enough. petition anon keeps spreading misinformation ITT, so i definitely think we should make sure not to confuse things.

>>10457321
Tbf, HC was a highly anticipated re-release. You can’t really compare the volume of people who wanted it vs fantasic dolly

>>10457179
1. Crystal Dream Carnival
2. Milky Planet
3. Sugar Hearts
4. Melty Ribbon Chocolate
5. Romantic Rose Letter

and their matching accessories (if applicable)

>>10457321
I got my MTO and hated it

>>10457324
Yeah I had the jsk and that wide flat panel on the front was so unflattering and didn’t lay nice so I sold it. LOVED the fabric though

>>10457399
It very well could have secretly been a "what should we re-release" poll but it was not billed as such and shouldn't be said as such unless AP straight out says so

>>10457416
this

>>10457327
I don’t mind the re-release milky planets. The big front pockets are kinda fun and cute! Plus they’re perfect for cell phones. They did the same pockets on fancy candy. I have both releases of milky planet and they’re both cute in their own way

Okay, I keep nutting around sakura bunny dress and this leads me to this question to ya guys. Usagiyorokobu hananoen was on rather pricey side, wich is totally explainable. Materials are exra fine and textured, plus it took a lot of sewing work. I wonder if you guys would keep supporting releases like this if price range stays somewhere around 60k for OP and 50k for JSK?

>>10457498
>I keep nutting around sakura bunny dress

>>10457498
Oh hell yes. I bought one in the release and would have bought a second, if the later lavender release wasn’t store limited. Kinda OT but I hate all these store limited releases.

>>10457504
> Kinda OT but I hate all these store limited releases.
I wish they would mass released limited items a while after event releases so people have enough time to flex their thingies on social media. Some sort of early preview stuff.

>>10457343
The accessories didn't sell well and went on clearance. No one was buying them at 70% off

Do you guys think we're getting yet another Holy Lantern rerelease this year?

>>10457321
Well this person sold their HC before the Fantasic Dolly and Honey Cake MTO, and I don’t think there were instances of them changing the fabric before that. So they really wouldn’t have known.

>>10457481
Same, I really like the stripes and the aprons on the OP. I wish the bottom was scalloped like the original though. Both releases have nice elements to them.

>>10457557
I kind of hope they release a yellow one just so we can make a whole rainbow of holy lantern

Meanwhile Tyler did an unboxing for ICP in pink x sax https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMrh1QgJxAE

>>10457612
Things like this give me some sort of FOMO even tho it wasn't my DD

>>10457612
OT but Fantasic Dolly could look so much more accurate if they'd use this fabric

>>10457613

No kidding, I'm not even sweet but ah the crispness of the print!

>>10457612

I just can't help but think how much more amazing this would have been in cotton. I just can't trust AP poly unless it's chiffon after seeing HC MTO irl traumatized me so deeply.

>>10457092
Cinema Doll was rereleased in poly, you fucking walnut.

>>10457613
Same..I didn’t care for the large text but the bear ice cream slapped me in the face and now I’m full of regret

>>10457524
DA, but if they mean headwear/socks I wouldn't mind some for my FD.

>>10457627
nayrt but I got the most recent cinema doll MTO and it's cotton

>>10457627
Cinema Doll was cotton.
Fantastic Dolly was polyester.

You're in the AP thread. Try to keep your prints straight.

t. Someone who got both the CTP and Cinema Doll MTO

>>10457622
Cotton doesn't give your crisp prints like some poly fabrics. It would've had blurry edges on cotton.

I wish Lolibrary had tags for cotton vs poly.

When did AP stop using matching colored lace?

>>10457727
same. they really need to add a tag for material types

>>10457088
I don't care about the print if the dress feels shittier (and imo looks shitter) but is still the same price they would charge had it been cotton

>>10457680

I don't care about crispness that much. Cotton prints are crisp enough for me. I don't need miniscule text reading from 10ft away if it means my dress feeling like a garbage bag and looking painfully shiny. HC was enough for me to know cotton is better for my personal tastes and I'd rather some things come out more blurred or just designed slightly differently on cotton than easily damaged poly that looks crisp but keeps poorly otherwise and is less visually appealing to me. That is just my own preference though. If I wanted perfectly crisp visible lineart I'd just buy taobao.

>>10456849
Agreed. They ruined Honey Cake. Fuck AP reprints lately.

>>10457329
Daydream color has never been rerelease. It was Midnight tho, but it was so limited it hardly affected the market.

Turns out RTG has black colorway too. Also are those pillbox hats?

So when do you all think the A/W collection will drop? Last year it was previewed in July, although I'm sure corona is affecting things

>>10458715
maybe they're supposed to be maid caps?

idc, im so pumped for this release

Friendly reminder that the pony bag auction on LM ends today.

Watching is free entertainment.

>>10458727
can AP just rerelease these dumb horse bags already

>>10458770
I honestly hope they never do, because the quality/construction would probably be terrible.

Also it would probably be a rerelease and not an MTO, so you'd still have scalpers buying the majority and driving up prices.

>>10458777
Why is AP such a garbage company? Literally the only good thing about them is their designs. I'm getting annoyed by the terrible quality of their stuff and the needlessly tiny stock when they know things sell out in a second by people buying 10 to sell on.

>>10458781
some anon wrote a long post before about how the limited quantities maintain ap's exclusivity or whatever, i guess that makes sense but it's still douchey

>>10458715
Huh I wonder what fabric this is? Obv its hard to tell from the photo but the texture is making me think its similar to babys crepey fabric

>>10458870
it definitely looks like crepe to me.

Why are there so many AP haters coming out of the woodwork pretending to be one of us? I keep hearing the anti-poly thing parroted by retards who don't understand textiles at all, I honestly haven't seen any quality decrease in anything I've actually bought. All of my cotton shit has deteriorated, wrinkled, faded after normal occasional wear and if Milky Planet, Jewelry Jelly, Memorial Cake etc came out in poly I would be ecstatic because they would probably hold up much better than my other shit has held up after 10 years. You can prefer older designs but get the sand out of your cooches

>>10458924
>retards who don't understand textiles at all
Natural fibers (aka cotton) will always be considered more luxurious than man-made materials. It's not that we prefer old designs, it's that polyester, even if it's good, will feel/look cheaper. Yes, cotton has a shorter life span, but so does silk/wool/etc.

There's been a lot of limp, sad looking dresses by AP recently that would have had a better shape and feel with cotton. You might be a troll though, so I'm not going to bite this bait too hard.

>>10458940
>anyone who doesn't mind poly is a troll
wat

>>10458924
Fucking laughable petty argument that no re-release is better than different quality release. I bet it comes from someone who ain’t even going to buy it no matter of quality, but still salty for people getting brand on retail stress free.

>>10458940
Velvet, a polyester material, is considered more luxurious than velveteen, a cotton, so that’s not strictly true. I do realize some velvet is made with silk but that’s the minority, most of it is polyester and still considered a very luxurious and expensive material.

>>10458868
I guess it'd make sense but I prefer the look and design of (older) AP more than I do the idea of owning AP as a brand. There's plenty of people who want to throw money at the company but they're making it difficult to.

>>10458942
>anyone who doesn't love poly is a troll
wat

>>10457179
1. Carnival
2. Puppet Circus
3. Cinema Doll
4. Rose Toilette
5. British Bear

Pony bag at $271 and 10 minutes to go.

>>10459109
I love it, I just can’t bring myself to pay that much for a purse that’s barely functional. Maybe someday AP will rerelease them, who knows.

can't believe someone paid 371 dollars for a bag that wont event fit a pack of tic tacs

>>10459112
>>10459113
Well that was fun to watch. The max bid by the winner was $401.

Guess we'll be seeing pony bags go up for more now.

>>10459113
I am totally holding onto my pony bag. I bought it new, on sale. If pony bags are this much used, I would not be able to buy another one.

>>10459114
>The max bid by the winner was $401.
How did you know that? Also, good lord, the absolute state of sweet lolita right now. That bag had a stain on the ribbon!

>>10459121
I learned this from another anon in another thread, but after the auction is over, click on "Bid History" next to "Comments" and it will show you everyone who bid and their max bids. (That's how we figured out the person who won SC was willing to bid over $2k)

I didn't know that function existed til recently, and it blows my mind.

>>10459123
Wow, learn something new every day. The 2K max on that SC OP is extremely shocking....I wonder what’ll happen with that candy fairy OP

>>10459113
I laughed harder than I should have at your comment but it's true. The pony bags are useless

>>10459147
Two bags outfit is basically sweet lolita staple, what

Rerealese wishlist
1. Sugary Carnival
2. Cinema Doll
3. Cherry berry bunny
4. Classic fairy tales (spec socks)
5. Marshmallow Bunny

>>10458940

lmao if anyone tries to argue broadcloth is worth any shit cgl would laugh them out of town anyhow.

>>10458870
>>10458715

I actually wonder if it might be similar material to Fairy Crystal, which was some very odd kind of poly crepe.

Hurray for the return of coloured lace, though, What is up with that bright red bow on the navy socks.

>>10458940

So shitty cotton quilting fabric that you can see through is considered more luxurious than a good quality chiffon with good drape? Okay.

>>10459147
>Wants a bag that carries stuff
Do you even lolita?

>>10459113
honestly at this point the plush bags are just a status symbol.
I'm hoping AP re-release them at some point because they'd stupid not to. They'd rake it in

>>10459174
these with the accessories to match would be a dream

>>10459157
that's why 2 purses is a staple, because just 1 won't carry jack-shit lol

>>10459113
I paid 5000 yen for mine 3 years back. whack

>>10459332
Same. I paid 6000 yen on CC a couple years ago, and that bag sat for at least 24 hours on the site. The most recent pony bag I got was 20000~25000 yen and that was about a month ago. I'm so happy I finished collecting all the colorways I wanted, because this new price point makes me nervous for what's yet to come.

>>10459332
I spent 100 on the unicorn bag and thought that was a lot.

>>10458715
Two completely different shades of mint...fucking why..

>>10458715
They look like the pillbox hats AP released earlier posted in last thread

I miss AP clone squads. People still twin but it's just not the same.

>>10459438
Pic dropped, my bad

>>10459360
One is mint and the other is sage green. Not everything has to be matchy matchy. I swear you autists don't actually wear the fashion

>>10458715
Fuck I wasn’t supposed to want this

>>10459451
nayrt but it's a really ugly shade of green, honestly. I'm tired of brands taking the main color and then graying it down for the accent bows/etc.

>>10459458
anon, that hat isn't part of the set release.

>>10459191
why the actual fuck is there a *worksafe* plug on the bottom right of that bodice in the print??? omg ahahaa

>>10459348
I bought a second-hand unicorn bag for $120, which I thought was about the same when new. I remember a sax unicorn bag in the store for $152. I have a pony bag, a unicorn bag, and the smaller pony plush non-bag. They are a family.

>>10459472
god i hate newfags.

>>10459254
Most Lolita vinyl bags are large enough for necessities. Plush bags are more toy than they are handbags. A plush bag is good for something small, and only something small.

>>10459475
omg hahahaa

>>10459472

>>10459477
Milky Bear pouch can’t even hold a phone. Lip balm yes, but that’s good enough for me because it won’t be my only bag

>>10459472
Shut the fuck up

>>10459472
>>10459478

>*worksafe*

Your post is physically painful to read newfag. It’s a crystal ball. The shape is warped because the fabric is not on a flat surface. I suggest you seek help for your mental retardation. Or kill yourself and rid the world of your intense stupidity.

>>10459483
Omg ahahahaa

>>10459472
What the fuck is a "*worksafe* plug"????

>>10459509
Clearly the poster is underage and couldn’t just say ass

>>10459506
Just go and post the picture to your guild’s discord, I’m sure they’ll get a kick out of it.

>>10459478
>>10459506
>t. newfag that got called out

>>10459439
They’re the best, I miss them too

>>10459483
>newfag. It’s a crystal ball. The shape is warped because the fabric is not on a flat surface

>>10459515
Omg new*worksafe* ahahaa

>>10459483

>>10459544
Ahahahahah

>>10459561
> teehee buttplugs
>"ahahaha"

Are you 12?

>>10459577
I’m laughing at the fact that >>10459483
was clearly wrong with their aggressive argument that it’s a crystal ball when it’s clearly not as shown here >>10459544
Don’t be stupid

>>10459588
nta but its certainly not a buttplug and newfag anon is still a brain dead moron for thinking it is

>>10459147
Useless but loveable..

RTG is up for sale this weekend. And yeah, that were pillbox hat kind of headdresses.

>>10459659
Oh wow, the teacup jewelry is so fucking cute I’m gonna die.

>>10459667
Is this supposed to be a keychain, or a ring? It says ring, but... that would be disastrous.

>>10459668
Dropped image

>>10459670
It’s...clearly a ring.

>>10459672
Not sure how anyone would successfully wear this.

>>10459676
the teacup dangles, have you never seen this before? it's just a ring with a charm.

>>10459676
You’re a full on retard

>>10459676
It's a ring anon. You put it on your finger.

>>10459659
Did they really made the earring silver and everything else gold? Or just choosed the wrong photo?=

>>10459659
Does anyone know what material this is gonna be?

>>10459738
not 100% sure but it looks like a lighter poly, maybe poly chiffon?

>>10459678
>>10459689
>>10459694
All I meant to say is that dangle rings are cute in theory, but really annoying to wear. Maybe I'm stupid, but when I wore them when I was younger, they'd constantly catch on something and get pulled off my finger.

>>10459676
>>10459765

I've had them. They really aren't much worse than those fancy OTT gyaru manicures, both will get equally wrecked if you're rough and don't know what to do with yourself, both will hold up just fine if you aren't.

I mainly don't wear them because I don't like the look, but they really aren't that much worse than other stuff.

>>10459670
Are this color's charms metal with paint on top like the Sweet Ribbon rings? My ribbon ring is fucked to hell already from the heart charm scraping against it. And the metal colorways of the teacup don't look as cute to me.

>>10459895
dropped pic

>>10459788
>tfw i have OTT gal nails but do them myself so they are properly reinforced

>>10459897
And the top of my strawberry ring has its green paint scraped away by the heart charm as well, though that's not as noticeable. I'm going to avoid this type now.

>>10459909
>>10459897
wtf ap is doing us dirty. i thought those were properly enameled.

>>10459917
>ap is doing us dirty

They have been for a while senpai

>>10459917
>wtf ap is doing us dirty.

is this news to you

>>10459909
I have a new strawberry ring coming in the mail, and I'm wondering - would it look worse to take the heart charm off and have the empty loop or to leave it on and let it get scraped up like this?

>>10459923
Or... You could just... seal the paint to prevent that?

>>10459909
Can't you put clean nail polish over the paint to help keep it from chipping?

>>10459925
thank you, I'll try that.

>>10459925
>clear

>>10459920
some of those are older tho.

>>10459925
>>10459924

Couldn't AP have just used proper paint/sealed it better in the first place?

>>10459928
Their jewelry has always been known to be shit quality. If you were around during the Livejournal days you'd remember how many girls would write in complaining about their busted AP jewelry.

>>10459966
i do remember, just not about the fake enameled kind. most of it was the acrylic.

>>10459927
iirc clear nail polish tends to yellow quickly. Get a proper sealant

>>10460046
it depends on the polish. really the idea is UV resin or gel nail top coat.

>>10459895
>>10459897
>>10459909
What the fuck this is pathetic AP.
Thank you for sharing, I’m going to go topcoat all of my AP jewelry now.

>>10459670
Yes I see the appeal of the teacup jewelry too but this is literally children’s level tier of cheap jewelry, someone can just DIY this shit
Can’t say the same for the necklace but definitely can for this ring
Especially simple if you want a teacup ring that doesn’t dangle

>>10460076
What are you talking about? There's nothing particularly special about the necklace either. You could just as easily DIY that.

>>10459964
bold of you to suggest ap would be interested in doing anything to ensure the quality of their products

×××HOLiC × Angelic Pretty collab MTO is coming up

>>10460117
No idea about comic itself, but OP looks cute

>>10460118

>>10460119
why on earth would they approve this design? i get the bat wing shape overlay but why do that weird scalloped boarder shit

>>10460084

Bold of you think I was actually expecting AP to do better and not just calling them out

>>10460127

Probably related to an outfit from the anime?

>>10460127
I'm pretty sure that's just how Maru's winter outfit actually is like. In the anime, the bottom of her white blouse is just straight across, but in the original manga, the bottom of the blouse is zigzagged.

>>10460119
I really want to like it, but it looks like ass. At least the stock picture does but what else is new.

>>10460150
in the anime and manga she's wearing ouji shorts and a top/jacket set

>>10460118
This one is really cute, but to me it’s not worth that price tag.

Modern op is shit. It's said cause old pieces are lovely.

>>10460245
Don't worry, I'm aware of that; I've watched the anime and seen parts of the manga. I was just replying to the anon questioning why there were white scallops towards the end of the AP dress. ^^

>>10460337
well your answer wasn't exactly correct. the scalloped border shouldn't be part of the dress because it shouldn't even be a dress. this design looks like shit because they attempted to make a two piece item into one.

>>10460117
Oh God I hate anime collabs. I only see overpriced cosplay.

>>10460117
I really love xxxHolic, it's a series I hold dear to my heart, but with that price tag, honestly the only collab I'd pay that much for is the Sailor Moon Alice and the Pirates collab. The Serenity set is lovely.

Only Moro's dress looks okay desu.

>>10459923
You could also replace the heart with a different charm if it becomes an issue. Attaching charms is not hard.

>>10460394
da but idk man. brand is quite pricey even being bought on retail. I wouldn't really enjoy paying this kind of money to be extra fixing stuff

>>10459670
That's so cute!

>>10460302
I think it's cute in green. I've been thinking of this set, but I guess it's not quite my thing.

>>10460394
but the point of removing the charm is so that it doesn't rub on the paint. i guess a really tiny charm might work.

AP whores are miserable

>>10460407
Well yeah but anon already paid the money

>>10460457
That’s what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear

>>10460407
Poorfags are the worst

>>10460302
Hard disagree. This >>10460428 is the only thing I’ve liked from them in ages

>>10460500
So you just agreed with them?

>>10460495
I'll take this bait.

Seriously though, you quarantined us to our own thread, ree'ing about how we posted too much in the general.

Now you go out of your way to click on this thread and complain here... again. You're an idiot.

>>10460499
how is it a poorfag thing to want to pay for something you don't have to diy?

>>10460503
Whining about brand being too expensive to make the most miniscule change is def a poorfag thing

As much joy as I feel snagging something in a bloodbath release, I'm happy AP USA isn't stocking anything I want today.

>>10460511

What was the release? I’m a little out of the loop.

>>10460514
Some more shanghai doll, heart hair clips, and the special colorway for ICP. So basically trash lol.

>>10460511
I wanted to preorder the butterfly canotier in case I get to buy sakura bunny dress. But I still have some stuff stashed at ss's for when EMS delivery restored. It's just too much hassle + I may never get the dress itself.

>>10460517
Anon, your patience is astounding. As soon as DHL/Yamato became an option, I threw my money at it (that, and my SS would never put up with storing like 15 dresses/etc). I hope you get everything you want.

>>10460502
Have you considered maybe not everyone replying to you is the same one or two anons you're so butthurt about having "quarantined" you?

>>10460504
I think they are mad that it has to be done considering AP should just seal their damn paint. Which I agree.

>>10460499
You know another burandos exist?

>>10460524
Not using the literal "you" here - using it in the sense of an "other" or outside group.

How stupid does someone have to be to come here and complain about APwhores though? It's like walking into italian restaurant and screaming that you hate italian food.

>>10460524
Ironically I am one of the “quarantiners” and I am just an normal poster ITT.

I like AP, but for a while threads were getting derailed by AP arguments. This thread sages faster than the general, and if they hadn’t split any other discussion would still be drowned out by what’s here

>>10460543
I agree with you on your second part, but you do sound unnecessarily salty about the board identifying a problem with how things were going.

>>10460546
I guess I'm salty because even now, if anyone talks about AP in the general, someone immediately screeches at them to stop. Not sure if it's the same set of anons, but it's like they have PTSD over people talking about one of the most influential brands.

And then the last thing anyone needs is the same people attacking the actual AP thread for serving the purpose it was meant to.

I am old and have no patience for it.

Just saw this picture of Rose Tea Garden. The fabric looks kinda...textured?

>>10460557
It looks similar to the texture of Candy Carol, which is a relatively thick kind of textured polyester.
