/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

to the anob from last thread >>8150053
I remember an anon having a similiar problem. What she did was simply taking the post slip and used that "I allow xxx to get the package for me" sign with the wrong written name to her right written name. I rember that it worked for her, maybe you could try that too?

Looks like another sale is coming up.

Not sure if the dress will be true to photo or it'll be a darker purple so I'm trying to narrow down some wigs to go with it that fit either color.

Any suggestions or opinions? I'm going for a bit of a whimsical witch look.

If anyone knows where to get a rocking witch hat that won't cost a ton of yen and doesn't look too costumey, please tell me.

>>8152555
can anyone translate this?

>>8152560
Imo the only witch hats that don't look completely costumey for lolita are the brand ones and those only get a pass b/c they are brand. I love cute dressy witch things too (as costumes, mostly) so I WISH this weren't so.

>>8152588
Well crud. Yeah, I saw some brand witch hats around Halloween but I just wanted something cute without being cheap looking.

>>8152555
>>8152580
everything 20% off
large settlement? super sale
semi annual large bargains

something like that

>>8152560
Batcat ears from antique beast.

>>8152618
Thanks for the suggestion but not exactly what I'm looking for.

>>8152590
That one looks cheap to me and any witch hat will turn that dress into a costumey looking coord. 'Witchy coords' look costumey almost all the time.

>>8152560
Try posting in the coord help thread?

sorry i was dumb and posted this when it autosaged!

So, are there any bodyline shoes in 245/250 that actually match this dress? I heard their sax shoes are kinda minty but I was wondering if there was one or so that was actually pure sax.

>>8152668
what dress is that?

>>8152668
Wow, that dress is so beautiful, what print is it?

>>8152663
Yeah, it looks cheap to me as well, which is why I posted it as an example.
>>8152667
Ah, sorry. Wanted to ask here since it's a Bodyline dress and a few others bought it as well but I'll try there.

>>8152688
>>8152700
taobao brand
http://tw.taobao.com/item/38642442838.htm?fromSite=main
i bought it from lacemarket though as a set for my little sister actually! i think its a brand worth checking out, the print is cute, kinda painted similar to how baby prints their stuff (as in not as vivid like Meta's) and the lace is cute and nice. Construction is just okay but the shirring on it is nice, the only problem was the zipper wasn't aligned right but it can be fixed.

saged for ot though, but yeah. I wanna help get my sister some shoes before a con rolls around next month so I'll prob order white instead, but I know sax would look cuter with these pink socks I would let her borrow. are there any bodyline shoes that'd match the sax?

has anyone ever pulled this dress in pink off for a coord? I got it to wear to a dance for a princess outfit, and I'm not sure if I should even attempt it for lolita.

>>8152580
SUPA SALE

>>8152802
I had it in 4L, bought it for $35 in pink on lacemarket but i was swimming in it. You can use it for lolita but the dress is heavy so you really need strong petticoats for it. But yeah as long as you coord it well, it's fine for general sweet or even hime

>>8152668
I don't think there are any that are quite that color to my knowledge, have you considered white? - I actually really like how white shoes on white can look in a coord, it doesn't have to look unbalanced, especially if you have some white and sax head wear.

>>8152874

I have a classical puppets bell shaped petticoat I could layer over two very light a-line ones, do you think that'd be enough? I'm probably gonna take off the detachable bow (at least I think that's what it is) in front.

>>8152668
Red would probably look cute too

I think the 4th wig would be best. Is this dress still for sale on the site? The print is cute

>>8153022
I got a bodyline strawberry purse and red shoes would match but my little sister thinks the purse is ugly so she refuses to try to bring red into her coord so that's not an option for now.

>>8152883
I've seen a few reviews around and some look like they could work but I guess I'm not going to try and risk it, there's only a month left to get shoes so white seems like a safe bet. I wasn't sure if white on white was a good look but I guess it doesn't matter now!

thanks for the reassurance and help guys!

>>8152555
dammit here we go again yan

>>8153235
Dress is still for sale in the JSK section, first page.

So is half the stock on the website still missing or have they all come back with higher price tags?

>>8152555
anybody knows when it will start?

> Con is in 13 days
> Ordered from Bodyline on Feb 7th
> Biting my nails until package arrives

It's the curse of the Chinese New Year

>>8154110
The file name says 201503endsale so I'm guessing the end of March at the latest?

>>8154110
I think it's already started? everything on the rakuten store is 20% off, which is what's indicated on the banner.

>>8154289
Which means it'll take a week for us to get it with the rate it's been going.

>>8154118
Same boat anon. Ordered on the 9th and still in Japan

The fuck is going on with my packages?

>package 1 tracking email arrives on the 12th, leaves Tokyo the 17th. No update since.

>package 4 (out of 4) tracking email arrives on the 16th, leaves Tokyo the 19th. Arrives to US customs the 28th

Where the hell is that first package?

>>8155823
Checked tracking info for packages 2 and 3, which left Tokyo the same day as package 4. Neither of those have reached US customs either.

Godspeed, package 4. I've already forgotten what was in you.

>>8155823
Is it supposed to notify you once it reaches the US, or is it just left up in the air once it leaves Japan?

I used airmail, and it left Tokyo on the 17th. If you all used express shipping and still haven't received anything, then I shudder at the thought of how long my package is going to take...

>>8157094
It's supposed to notify you when it reaches the US and then it stops updating. From there you're supposed to use the tracking number on USPS to continue tracking.

Does anyone own shoes270? Curious how comfortable they are and how they look with dresses and how far they go up.

>>8157935
yep. give me a second and i'll get some pics.

>>8157937
You are my hero, anon. I bought the skulls JSK and the shoes I wanted are sold out so someone recommended I get these boots.

I've heard the occult print JSKs are larger than the measurements given. Has anyone received theirs yet and experienced this, or was this just the experience of one user on Rufflechat?

>>8157940
>ol' man legs is back
theyre really comfortable to walk in, but the material is a bit stiff. they come up halfway - kinda just under the end of the calf muscle bulge if you get me. theyre pretty stable too. i cant say anything about how they look with dresses though, as i only wear boystyle. sorry.
>im sorry if the pic is hueg

>>8157943
>larger than the measurements given
Aw shit. I hope this isn't true. I got the largest size because my bust was 2cm over the limit for the 2L. I'm going to be swimming in that dress.

>>8157945
oh fuck im sorry that is massive and i can't delete it for some reason.
pic related is a slightly more sane size.

>>8157945
Thank you for the picture! It's definitely cute but I don't know how well it would go with the skulls JSK..

>>8154118
>>8154707

I ordered three packages on the 4th and one on the 14th... They all say they've left Tokyo, but they haven't been updated since the 10th and 17th. ugh.

>>8157254
Thanks anon, I feel a little better now, but it still means my package isn't in the US.

I'm just going to pay extra for ems from now on, this is just too nerve wracking.

I've been waiting for a restock of these in white for a while... but no way I am paying 80$ eugh

Will Bodyline lower them to their original price (40$)? Or should I give up on them?

>>8157989
I think the $40 listing is still up but with limited sizes. There's a sale coming so I'd wait.

>>8157989
They're even cheaper if you check out in yen

>>8157946
Someone on LU said that the 4L actually goes up to 120cm bust COMFORTABLY o.o

>>8157991
>>8158027

Obvs I know about the original 40$ listing, size I'm looking for is 24cm which is sold out in that one. And yes objective is doing the "yen trick" with original listing.

I guess I'll wait for the sale!

>>8158030
>120cm bust comfortably
GFDI Yanners! If that's true when I get my dress, I'll have to resell it and get a size smaller.

It's March. Where's the god damn unicorn print?

>>8158760
Might release when the 20% off sale comes.

>>8157935
I own them in off white and they are comfortable. The heel took off from the rest of the boot but I glued it with Velcro glue and now it's fine. I'm surprised they survived one Canadian winter.

Since when did these come in gold?

As someone who is just getting started with lolita is bodyline a good place to start? I don't want to shell out the big bucks for brand right out the gate but I don't want to look ita either. I'm more or less testing the water to see if this fashion is a right fit for me.

I placed an order on Feb 2nd..... tracking still hasn't updated to the US. I'm getting nervous.

>>8158961
Same, anon. I think we're just stuck in JP customs?

>>8158944
Another noob here but longtime lurker. Bodyline has some good stuff, you just have to keep an eye out for what's ita and what isn't. Definitely ask for opinions or recommendations for stuff. Also don't pay the USD prices. Switch currency to Yen.

>>8158962

I opened a dispute juuuuuust in case. I really hope I don't have to do anything further though.

>>8152802
Kind of wondering the same thing but if the black color way could pass as an okay gothic coord. I'm usually sweet/classic but I want to branch out abit and have no idea where to start, but I want to try to keep it cheap if it ends up that I don't like it.

>>8158980
How much does switching to yen typically save?

>>8159040
it is directly proportional to how much you spend. There is no typical amount.

>>8159040
Depends on the exchange rate, but for example, if you buy an item that is 2999 it'll cost about $25.00. The US price for the same item is generally about $10 - $15 higher.

>>8158962
Same here. Either that or it's sitting around in the US and hasn't been scanned in yet. I had an EMS package that sat in customs for 13 days before it finally left customs.

Anyone has good coord pics with this jsk?Preferably in red please. It's impossible to find pics of this jsk worn in a coordinate.

>>8159051
Brilliant, thank you!

Hold on, sorry to be a total pleb but this seems almost too cheap. That skirt in the bottom right corner, that's seriously just a little over $8 when buying it in yen?

>>8159078
I swear I just saw this posted on the bodylineneedsbetterpictures tumblr and it looked surprisingly good. I don't recall if the photo was a coord, though, but you can look it up, I think everything is tagged by item code.

>>8159119
i have that skirt(for cosplay) and it's total shit, it was only worth $8, but i got my cosplay made for less than $40

>>8159122
I'm not wanting that skirt in particular, I was just amazed that it could be so damn cheap, wow! Well shit, this changes everything. Cheers anons for showing me the light!

>>8159120
I just saw it now and it looks really good but all i wanted is a worn coord by a person.

>>8159134
They have a pair of heels in stock for 999Y that someone bought a while back as well.

>>8158875
About mid November

>the new boots came in
>8.5 so I got size 250
>black and white
>they're too big
>holy shit are they stinking up my house

I'm probably going to have to sell them and reorder them tbh

>>8159237
aren't 250 usually size 9? I get 255 and I'm a 9.5. Well that is sizing up in case they run small though so would you say its true to size or almost 2 sizes too big?

>>8159245
250 is a 9? I'm an eu 39~40 (American 8.5~9) with really narrow feet and I was going to get 255 in bodyline because I have LL brand shoes that are too short in length. What would be advisable? Feet are like 24.9 flattened on the ground.

>>8159310
Different Anon here, I'm European 39,5 and I always get 255 from Bodyline (but I can fit Btssb LL shoes just right)

>>8159237
I get size 250 and in USA sizes I'm a size 9.

mr yan is the ultimate troll about the unicorn print
"oh in september"
"febuary"
WHEN YAN!?

>want to get out of bodyline
>bodyline won't get out of me

>>8159310
>>8159237

I'm a 8.5 or a 39-40 and I'm drowning in the size 250 boots. Like it could fit a 9-10 easily, its because the toe is so round and huge

>>8159444
r u saying u fucked mr yan?

>>8159444
>>8159450
this is a good time for mr yan to bring back up the abortion pill advertisements.

>>8159454
i pissed myself laughing.

Why the fuck did I not know this before? I've only bought from them once (it was like 2 days ago), but still. I'm gonna go buy like 5 things right now.

>>8158786
If they do that I bet the site won't be able to handle the traffic.

Finally the skull jsk arrived...

>>8159310
I'm on the wider end of a size 9. I've bought 250 and they're pretty much fine for me though certain styles are more snug than others, recently ordered some shoes in 255 and I'm gonna see how they fit. If you're narrower/not particularly wide you should be good.

>>8159040
i'm not a lolita but i used the trick on a cosplay that was 67$ and i paid just shy of $43. just depends on how much whatever you're buying is

>>8159644
Can you take pictures of the details? I might get the gray or buy secondhand depending on the fit..

>>8159480
Know what? Also, don't buy now. There's a 20% off sale coming.

>>8159644
Pics anon!

>>8158961
wow, UK anon here. My order from 17th Feb already arrived few days ago.

Anyone else having trouble ordering with paypal or is mine just gone derp?

>>8160162
Paypal itself as been odd lately. It sent me an email saying someone had canceled their money request for an item over a month old and yesterday it showed an Ebay payment had been canceled even though it cleared and the shop had shipped already.

>>8160169
Mine was saying i've hit my spending limit for the month..I haven't tried using it until today and there is no transactions on my card or paypal.

What dress is this *__* I kinda really need it...

>>8160447
I want those boots

>>8160447
Pretty sure it's a Bodyline dress because my sister has the skirt version.

>>8160469
Derp, and that's what I get for not scrolling up to see the title of a thread before I post in it.

My package left Japan on th 28th, may the delivery gods be with it so I can get em before the con.

Does anyone who have their packages go through Illinois customs, have the same port issues as LA and New York anons?

>>8160447
Pretty sure it's a no longer available piece. Friend had the skirt version once long ago if I remember right.

>>8160626
yeah, it's sold out since forever. I wanted one too and I came too late.

>yan san please restock the nice things

>>8160447
I have this in black, it's so pretty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7lM049nOqI

Is anyone able to please identify the item at 17:05?

How do Bodyline's boots work out for fattychans with huge calves? At my widest my calves are about 16 inches/40.5 cm. I know I would have to loosen the laces either way, but am I gonna have to do it so much it just looks stupid?

>>8160811
I'm pretty sure bodylines boots are pretty small in the calves.

Also JFC my thighs are smaller than your calves wtf

>>8160819
Wow I know I'm a fatass but I feel like getting on a treadmill and running for about 5 hours straight now, please tell me you're just a really petite girl.

>>8160830
I imagine so anon, don't get too down about it. I'm tall and slim but my thighs are probs about 17 or 18"

Anyways, I remember someone in the last thread talking about a pair of boots and their calves were a bit bigger, so I think you'll be alright! >>8144276

>>8159445
Update!

>friend in comm buys the exact same boots, same size 250
>try them on
>hers fit fucking perfectly
>she tries mine on
>they're definitely bigger
>we have 3 pairs boots, none of which are the same size

so idk what to tell you, nothing is fucking consistent

>>8160811
They are pretty small in the calves. You can look for reviews, maybe 1-2 pairs might be bigger but some have straps too so watch for that. My friend got 2 pair and both are too tight for her and the laces look funny, too widely laced.

>>8161149
Idk if they would be anon, since they say they can only just about get them over their 16.5inch calves, and those boots are a bit different since they can loosen up a lot more than other bl boots

>bought 3 pairs of shoes all in 24.5
>remember they run a bit big
>i'm only a us size 8/uk size 5.5

fuck i hope an insole will fix the size difference
I love the yen trick though I totally forgot about it until I almost clicked check out and I saved like 30 pounds

>>8159351
March apparently...so this month

>>8152560
http://tw.taobao.com/item/41564668535.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z10.1-c.w8178847-10127865828.4.Ky107j this one's kinda cute and not too pricey.

>>8160447
It's gorgeous. Petition to get bodyline to bring this back! (jk. Fuck you yan)

>>8161799
what size is your friend?
and try measuring both of your boots, just for comparison sake like is hers 25 cms and yours 255 or?

>>8162880
Another anon actually linked me to that but the black is sold out so I'm contacting my shopping service to see if they can message the shop and get an answer for if/when the black version will be in stock.

Can I get an idea of anyone who ordered something in early February and haven't had any updates since dispatch from Tokyo? Not sure if I should open a dispute yet or not..

>>8163352
I'm another anon in the same boat. I've made 3 Bodyline orders and all of them are in the same "dispatch from outward office/origin post is preparing shipment" hell. It's driving me crazy - in the past, Bodyline AIR has only taken like 2 or 3 weeks. Not a full damn month.

>>8163352

Oh no, I hope this doesn't happen to my shoes

>>8163352
Back around late October 2012 I ordered some shoes and had them shipped by air. It took them until the first week of January to reach me.

Right now I'm waiting on an order placed early last month as well. Giving me the same message.

>>8163352
This reminded me of the order I made in early Feb too and fuck me mine says the same thing.

>>8163357
I have two packages with the exact same dates on them too...sigh.

>>8163357
From what I understand, "origin post is peparing shipment" means your package is in your country but it's sitting in a shipping container packed full of mail somewhere waiting to get popped open and sorted

>>8163481

"It means that the origin Post is preparing a shipment for dispatch. basically manifesting packages heading for the US. Most often, a foreign post will merge all of the packages going to one country and list a manifest of each individual package and their tracking numbers, if applicable.

Once the container is full enough, it is passed to be dispatched. When the container is scanned, the status of all of the packages on the manifest will update. "

>>8157950
>>8157950
Anon, do I see "Frizzy Lizzies" around the top of your boot...?

>>8163352
Anon, I'm in the same boat but one of mine managed to get to US customs while the others haven't.

>>8163513
>Frizzy Lizzies
old ass obscure reference
so what if they're hairy, they don't need to shave for a picture.

>>8163513
What >>8163642 said, plus that anon is a dude so...

When will the unicorn print dress arrive?

I hope its not like the ribbon dress (pic related)
Many years ago, bodyline's site advertised the release of this dress. Never happened.

>>8163352
My package shipped the same day as yours and has the same updates.
>>8163364
And it's shoes please lord let them arrive before Acen

From what I'm seeing, it takes 9 days to reach US...after that it's yolo? Idk, but I see people saying it takes 3 days to get out of customs..maybe longer...?

>>8163116
sorry that was kind of unclear

>she's a US 9
>I'm a US 8.5 but can fit a 9
>I ordered 2 pairs of size 250 boots
>she ordered one pair of size 250 boots
>same boots, same size, all the same boot
>we can fit into hers, neither of us can fit into mine
>too big

I would hazard a guess that hers are the real 250 and mine got mislabeled? mine feel like 255 or 260

>>8163651
That's a cute dress shape!

>>8163671
Idk man, my package left Japan on the 17th and no update since. It's been a lot longer than 9 days.

This is my first time ordering from them though, so I'm not sure if they tell you it arrived in the US before or after it passes through customs?

>>8163695
thank you so much for clearing it up! your boots sound perfect for my feet but I already spent my money on a big taobao order earlier ugh.

If you put it up for listing, just list yours as a factory error or something and it is larger than 250, I remember there were a lot of girls whining about the 250 and under sizes so you'll probably get some buyers. Good luck!!

>>8152560
>>8159371
i don't know if you're the same anon posting about looking for a witch hat but here's one too

>I'm a size 9.5 shoe
>get size 9
>feet hurt like fuck
>get a size 10
>way too much room

>>8163808
insole the shit outa that mofo

>>8163816
MY BOOTS FIT NOW

thanks based anon

Will the normal long sleeve blouses (you know, not the ones with the weird collars and bat lace) ever restock :( I need one in pink.
Also hope the sale will start soon, I need new shoes.

>>8164014
aint buying shit in regards to shoes unless they restock

*cough*
When the 20% sale will reach to us?
I mean, it passed like 3 or 4 days and we have nothing...

>>8163751
That was me, sorry. Thank you so much, I totally missed that post. Their hat is a bit more expensive than the Taobao but but since they're custom made, it sounds worth it.

>mfw hat will cost more than the dress itself

>>8164160
This is so often the case with accessories and extras when my main piece and shoes are Bodyline.

Finally got the new print in purple. God damn bills putting back my shopping habit.
And now the wait begins...

>>8164174
This is actually my first coord ever so I'm trying to make it my best for that reason and the one where people were doubtful about the dress being used in any coord that didn't look terrible.

I can do this.. I hope.

>>8164204
I believe in you anon

>>8164206
Thank you, anon. It means a lot.

>shoes are stuck in the early feb shipment and I need them for first decent coord
>L387 still hasn't restocked in pink and probably won't soon so I might be stuck wearing my nice baby jsk to a con in may

>>8164204
If you mean first coord do you mean to take pictures of or to wear to a meet? Full blown witch hat might be a little too much for the latter and no halloween around the corner.

>>8164231
I don't have a comm so it's more to wear to conventions. I do see some lolitas at cons but I don't know any and honestly, I just love the print itself and I've always wanted to do a witch themed coord (regardless of if it was Halloween or not) so now seems to be the time. I do go to AWA in late September though, so that's kinda close to Halloween.

Either way, if it looks costumey I'll be surrounded by people in costume so I've got no fucks to give. I've been waiting years to dress up like a fancy witch.

Does anyone know how good the quality of their rocking horse shoes are? I'm thinking about getting a pair in white but I've been screwed over by cheap shoes before.

>>8164297
I don't have the one with the ballet straps, mine has a single ankle strap, but I like them. They're pretty comfortable; the sole is made of some kind of foam.

The downside is that they squeak when you walk sometimes.

>>8164299
Thank you, I was hoping the sole would be made of something sturdier but I'll most likely end up getting them anyways.

>>8164235
I'm the anon that posted the witch hat from etsy. Sakura Fairy herself posts here and her stuff looks pretty good quality and cute so I'm sure you'll definitely be adorable! Tbh if you haven't decided on a bag or something, if you could get your hands on a fake spellbook, I think that could definitely subtley help the dark witch look.

Good luck anon! I'll cheer you on, can't wait to see pics if possible! Do you have a tumblr or something?

>>8163640
>>8163357
>>8163352
Most of the time I've ordered from Bodyline, it's taken a month for my package to finally reach me. It's never taken this long between "dispatch from Tokyo" and entering the US before. Ugh.

>>8163513
im a bloke and i wear long socks with my actual coords

>frizzy lizzies
>what

>>8164297
>>8164304
if you're still here, i have the spiky ones. they seem well made, but the sole does dink easily if you bash it.

>i have so many bodyline shoes good god
>i should just review them all

Seeing all these shipping stories... Is this just normal for Bodyline? Seems everytime I skim through this thread it's like this.

That being said, I just made an order yesterday because still free shipping on "air", but now I'm kind of tempting to pay for EMS... Do they let you upgrade your shipping?

>>8164470
Also I just checked... I place my order last night like I said, but the funds aren't pending to come out of my PayPal or anything. Is this normal?

>>8164311
Thank you for the link! Hadn't even thought about a purse but I love those spellbook ones. Or even an antique looking one.

I do have a tumblr but I don't feel comfortable posting it. I'll definitely post pictures here when the dress comes in since no one else has and I'll probably post coord pics when I get it done.

Bodyline, since it's AIR, does take a while but it's not normally this bad. I think the overseas stuff is just really lagged because of CNY flooding everything with backlogged packages.

I just had the weirdest and so far the worst shipping experience.. Usually Bodyline ships scary fast, sometimes gets a little stuck at customs but at least i know where it is.

This time it was 2 months and the tracking still says Chiba. It showed up at my door last night. Not complaining since I received the package, but it has been strange lately..

>>8164636
Also, the package I received was these shoes in brown. First time getting Bodyline shoes and I am pleasantly surprised. They are much more solid than any lolita shoes I had before. If only their dresses were of equal quality.

>>8164642
take some pictures when you get the chance

>>8164642
Does the shoe run small or is it just right?

>>8164712
I would say on the slightly smaller side of just right. I am usually a size 7.5 to 8. Ordered size 245, and they fit and still have room left in the toe. Also I'm horrible at walking in heels and they are easy to walk in (although I haven't actually went out in them yet).

My lone package that escaped the clutches of Japan and made it to USA customs is going to be delivered tomorrow... while I'm out of town all day. Wonderful.

No idea where my other packages are still.

>>8165366
I'm in the same boat anon, one day we'll get the rest of our packages.

>>8165377
We may have to storm the international post office and take what's ours first. Fighting off postal workers clothed in stolen burando and cosplays first.

>>8160645
pics?

So my Bodyline package arrived today.. but I forgot Bodyline makes you sign for shit and I came back to find a slip in my box. Had to reschedule for Monday. I don't know if it's one package that escaped the mail stream or if it's ALL my packages and they just scanned one since they were all mailed around the same time and it's the same name/address.

>>8167164

Are you the 4 packages anon?

>>8167173
Yep, that's me and my sad impulse to go "You know, I should really get this before the price goes up..."

>>8165386
What is that from?
I want a telescoping parasol sword...

Are these new or have I just never noticed them before?

>>8167602
These are pretty old anon. There've been there for at least 2 years if not longer.

Don't remember this either..

>>8167607
Thanks, anon. I guess I just hadn't noticed them before now because they stood out when I realized the shoe section had been rearranged a bit. I thought it was because they had added a new shoe style.

>>8160805
Anyone? ; 3;

>>8152555
The Rakuten website is having the 20% off sale.
The Bodyline website doesn't, unfortunately.

>>8157946
Any news about the sizing of the skull dress? I have a 92 cm bust and I'm hesitating between 2L and 4L.
If the 4L really fits a 120 cm bust as anon said I'm afraid it will be way too big.

>>8167873
We usually get all the Rakuten site sales though. Everything they get a banner for gets put on the main website within a week or two.

>>8168217
It's passed a week, so we must wait another one?
I want my shit...

Four package anon. My package I missed on Saturday got redelivered today and it was the misc sale stuff I ordered last. My other three packages (which I ordered days before) still haven't reached customs.

The pink thing is pair of lounge pants that were 100Y (only available in size M) and I'm a size 4/5 in American and they fit me like snug leggings. They're very comfortable though so maybe they'd look good under a denim skirt or just to wear as pajamas.

The skirt I got is their generic school skirt one and holy crud is it heavy. I never realized how utterly shitty cheap Ebay/Taobao school skirts are. They had it bagged, on a plastic hanger, and just lifting it you could feel the weight of the material. The pleats have a white thread sewing them all together at the bottom that you have to remove before you wear and the clasp is... really odd. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to clasp the skirt and even now I don't think I'm doing it right but it seems to work and the clasp lets you loosen/tighten the skirt a bit since it's adjustable. I got a 4L and when I saw it I thought it would be too big (I didn't know my measurements so I went for what I thought was a safe bet) and it fit pretty well. It's just above my hips so it's riding much lower than most school skirts should but that works fine for me.

Overall, the skirt was fantastic and only $12 and everything else I'm pretty pleased with. Just need my other three packages to show up.

I got one of my packages as well, it only had the skirt and blouse I ordered. I guess my shoes and assorted accessories are still in japan or in customs. Idk, I just want my shoes man.

Pic related just popped up as 999Y again randomly. I know the price was higher than that the other day. Maybe they're slowly putting in discount stuff again?

GAH. I have 2 packages coming and by the dates I got my previous bodyline packages they should have gotten here a few days ago.. slightly panicking, I'm not even home to open them but gosh I just want them to be there when I get back xD

GOD SPEED YAN.

>>8170807
>xD
Please don't. It makes you look underaged.

>>8167873
I ordered 2L and it fits perfectly and according to measurements listed. The JSK is shirred in back so you should be safe with 2L.

Still waiting on that good 'ol package.. it's just some shoes.. but jfc I need them before April's 1st

>>8172091
SAME HERE ANON, FUCK
I ordered on the 9th of February and my tracking hasn't updated past "Origin Post is Preparing for Shipment" since the 12th of February.

>Bodyline

These bitches never heard of Prada, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Versace lmao!

>>8160811
Late to reply, my calves are 35cm at their widest and I didn't need to loosen the laces at all, though if I was any bigger I might need to.

Man, I am feeling so awful for you anons that haven't received your packages. I ordered my skirt mid-Feb. and I received it by now, no tracking number...
I was worried that without the tracking number it would be totally unreliable, but it seems to have ended up more reliable. u.u
Good luck, girls! I hope they get there soon.

On another topic:
Do the skirt and blouse in my pic related go together well, does anyone know?

>>8172194

Please don't wear a chiffon blouse on its lonesome. Nobody needs to see your bra, especially in lolita. The chiffon blouses are normally meant to be worn under jsks or at least with another (opaque) cami inside.

Someone actually did it and self posted on a coord post thread and requested con crit. I can tell you her bra was black with red trim. When I gave her the above advice she got huffy about it defeating the purpose of wearing chiffon in hot weather and said she would sell off the blouse. wtf even.

sage for not actually answering your question.

>>8172194
yo tiddy gon be on display

>unicorns print will be released on september 2014
>10 march 2015
>still no unicorn print
it's like the ribbon dress all over again dammit Yan and you can't even restock your actually ok quality/looking shit this is why Bodyline sucks

Looks like we're getting some brand new items.

>>8172432
Including a brand new dress?

>>8172194
Assuming you'll be wearing a black cami under the blouse (with a strapless bra), I think it'll look fine. It depends if you're ok with 'fine' though, I probably wouldn't buy it specifically to go with that skirt since imho, a higher-necked classic or gothic (or somewhere in-between) blouse would look a lot better.

>>8172634
Some inspiration from the Queens of 'making bodyline look fucking amazing'

>>8172864
The only reason that skirt is salvageable is because they replicated Atelier Pierrot's design

>>8172869
Who cares? It's affordable and it looks good.

>>8172869
design replicas don't matter anon

>>8171357
Thanks anon :)

>>8172864
I've been wanting that skirt for a while, but I've seen people selling it for being too big. My waist isn't incredibly small, but it's 24"-25".

>>8159237
...insoles?

>>8173511
The girl in the pic (left) has a tiny waist though (check her ahem bikini pics!), I would imagine you can just pull in the laces for a better fit(?)

Anyone know which blouse this is? Tried to locate the pic's origin (other than tumbr obv) but failed.

>>8173617
dream of lolita

>>8173511
The M would fit you fine, I have it in that size.

>>8173644
Oops, thank you anon, I honestly thought is was bodyline.

>>8173617
It's a DOL replica of an IW blouse.

>>8172634
Oh, thank you!
I was planning to wear a black cami, so no worries there. I would never let my bra be on display. (I'd feel cheap, and my husband would mock me/get mad at me anyhow.)
>>8172864
But a higher-necked blouse definitely looks better. I'll find a nicer blouse, then.

>Received tracking number on Feb. 17th
>It's now March 10th
>USPS site still says origin post Is preparing shipment

Wtf Bodyline

>>8174285
Everything has been insanely slow, anon. No idea what's going on.

>>8174285

Left Tokyo on the 28th....still not here..

>>8174285
I have two packages that been sitting for over a month now :(

>>8174285
>>8174728
This means they're in transit to you. Probably stuck in customs along with all the orders from China that couldn't be sent during Lunar New Year.

>>8174285
You're not alone, anon. I ordered stuff on the 5th and the 9th of last month. Origin post is preparing shipment still. Seems a lot of us are in the same boat.

>>8173582
see >>8163914

>>8174753
But wouldn't it say that it's at least in the the US?

>>8175029

At most with Orgin prepping, it's not in Japan but it's not in US.

I went on USPS fb,twitter,etc and it seems there is a huge delay with ALOT of things. People paying for overnight, getting their items a week later, etcetc.

CNY+Weather+Maybe the port protest= May the package gods be on your side.

>>8175029
...no? Because there's customs in Japan as well. Just like how USA customs checks everything coming in and out for illegal items, Japan does the same thing.

A lot of Asian countries just celebrated Lunar New Year so the mail stream is very clogged. If it's already been through Tokyo and left there, that means it's probably left the postal service there and is sitting somewhere waiting for space to open up on a flight.

Had my stuff shipped out on the 4th and arrived yesterday, godspeed SAL.

approximately how worried should I be

>>8175123
have you tried putting the tracking number into USPS? (assuming you're waiting on it in the US)

>>8175158
I get this which... doesn't seem much more promising.

Does anyone own this maid outfit? I kinda want to get it considering I wanted to do an alice lolita

>>8158760
I don't even wear sweet and I want that fucking print.

>>8159040
For shoes, dresses and skirts, $15-20 each.

>>8159237
>Got shoes in my usual Bodyline size
>apparently they run large, don't fit at all
>been trying to sell them for weeks and they won't fucking shift even though I listed them below the yen trick price
>shipping outside of my country costs almost as much for heavy shoes as the shoes cost brand new from Bodyline
>unless one of the lolitas in my country buys them I won't be able to sell these unless I reduce the price to like $5

>>8161799
Ugh, I wonder if this is what happened with my shoes since I checked reviews and none of the reviewers had sizing issues.

On another note, is that one fucking cardigan ever gonna be restocked? It's hard to find cute cardigans for lolita and I'm sick of seeing it scalped second-hand.

Also waiting for blouse l076 to restock in black for an old school coordinate I'm planning but I think that's slightly more likely.

>>8163223
Halloween most likely.

>>8164297
Got the ones with the roses, the quality's good and they're comfy.

>>8175473
Try posting them in some of the weeaboo cosplay groups. Someone will snatch them up and think they're getting a good deal, even with the shipping.

>>8172869
The idea of bustle skirt + corset lace was not invented by Atelier Pierrot. That shit's been showing up in the goth community for years and is hardly a unique design anyway.

>>8173511
My waist fluctuates between 22" and 24" and the M fits me fine.

>>8175295
Someone posted pics of it without the apron in the lolita general, and the material is really shifty and it doesn't have the right lolita shape. >>8167699

You could buy it for the detachable apron and then wear it with a nicer sax dress.

>>8175501
Might try that. On Lacemarket I kept getting messaged by Americans asking about shipping (because even when I listed the shipping in the description they wanted to find out if it was significantly cheaper by an untracked and slow method), then changing their minds once I told them 3-month shipping was only $5 cheaper than one-week-untracked shipping.

Tbh I think they might sell on the ordinary lolita Facebook groups too, since there are a lot of noobs on there, but for privacy reasons I don't use my Facebook for lolita shit unless it's in a closed group so I'm trying to avoid going down that route.

I just got kids 052 and it is even cuter than I imagined. Bit too short (maybe 7cm) though the adult sizes are usually to long on me ( 90cm +) I'm thinking of buying a second one to turn into an underbust jsk/salopette thing. It really is lovely. My dad fucking hates this stuff and never comments on my appearance but even he said it was cute. Maybe I'll go visit grandma with it as I'm frightened of sewing machines.

Does anyone own pic related (l160)? I'm looking for a long-sleeved old school blouse, and although I don't like the shirring (not that it matters under a JSK), l160 has decent lace that seems to fit the bill. What's the material like though? All my other blouses are indie or nice Taobao so I really don't want crunchy fabric.

>>8175619
Dropped pic.

>>8175617
I thought this one looked cute (way too small for me though). Reminded me of the dresses my grandma used to get for me.

Also, pics?

>>8175621
The fabric is meh but not crunchy. It's good if you're going to hide it under a JSK. I own it in pink and use it just for JSKs that have pink in them for matching purposes. Only have one or two JSKs with pink in my wardrobe anyway. But I wouldn't make it my main blouse.

Anons that are still waiting on their packages, I just randomly had my shoes arrive. The tracking still says it left Tokyo and hasn't reached USA customs yet but here they are.

>>8175706
when did you place your order?

>>8175736
Don't remember when I placed the order but these are the tracking dates.

>>8175739
>literally a week after I placed my order

happy for you anon, i think you escaped the CNY struggle.

>>8175764
Shit anon, don't feel too bad. I ordered one a week before that and it's still no where to be found along with my skull jsk.

>mfw 2 out of 4 packages here
>it's the last and middle packages
>missing packages are both dresses

Is this that print that won?

>>8175954
that's the carousel print...

>>8175969
Yeah, I kind of realized that a bit late haha. My desperate hope of one day seeing that dress is causing delusions

>>8175974
Rakuten is showing a new dress that will be in stock so that might be it.

My shoe size is EU38, but I don't know in which size I should order the RHS since I heard they run small. Can anyone help me out?

>>8176015
Bodyline has a shoe size chart. Just go up a half size.

I'm >>8164439
I just got my one package that I ordered on February 14 today, and the tracking never updated once it left Tokyo. My three packages that I ordered on February 4 still haven't arrived.

>>8175626
I could so easily be the wrong kind of lolita. 5ft tall and just small enough for kid sizes but my E cups would not quite squish into the unmodified bodice lol. I hand stitched the ends of the waist ties into a jabot thing and made straps, using the original tie buttons on the bodice (I actually did them too long in the end. Either I'll shorten them or move the buttons lower down) 2cm or so and It'll be perfect, fixing the slight sagging.

>>8176156
The whole thing needs a good ironing. Still, it was worth what I paid for just the fabric. Forgive my slippers

>>8176015
Measure your feet.
Go half a cm up or a whole one depending on how you like it.
Why are people so against rulers.
Western shoe size are super awful.

>>8175473
are you me

>>8176188
Common problem, huh? I've just found out by trying on a few pairs of my friend's shoes that I also had my size wrong to start with, it's just that the first couple of pairs I bought were from lines that ran small so being half a size out gave me a fitting shoe. The pair I'm selling ended up like two sizes too big because they ran large, but there was another pair in the same order that ran true to size and now I need thick socks or insoles for.

>>8176164
>needs a good ironing
Yo
Don't iron velvet

>>8176156
I'm tempted to buy it since I'm 5ft too. What adult size do you wear? Does it fit a M?

>>8176284
Steamer and let it hang dry? I Ironed the straps on low heat just so a pleat would hold whilst I stitched it down

>>8176296
I usually buy Bodyline's S or M. I'm bust 34 waist 23-25 (depends on time of the month/IBS) hips 38. I've had such a shit time buying corset skirts with waists longer than my entire torso and dresses being ankle length. It's frustrating. I'm on the curvier side so kids clothes aren't always perfect either.

It's such a nice color. Probably would look nice in the black or green. You could add embroidery too. In a way I'm glad I didn't get my Infanta dress.

Today i got a BL pink bolero (L072) and i was so disappointed. Fabric is see through and a bit rough, maybe prone to get piling fast and the fucking ties are hard to tie. I need to sell it infact...
Too bad good quality lolita knitwear is hard to find for not too high prices and new.

Is the print on the Squirrel Party jsk still backwards? I kinda want it.

>>8176460
Yeah it is. I don't think they ever plan on fixing it. A few of their other prints are also backwards.

>>8176470
Well I guess they wait for the fucked up print to sell out. But I didn't see a notice on their site anymore.

>>8176460

I think its random, i bought squirrel party in lavender after they were giving out the partial refunds and my print is fine.

>>8176460
I might sell my lavender OP. No one has noticed the print in backwards but it's so big/long on me. It's the most adorable print but I can't be asked with altering it

>>8175480
God damn it I want this fucking cardigan so badly
It's so cute!

>>8176644
Just to warn you, I've heard stories where the black cardigan bled and ruined good blouses.

>>8176576
Did anyone even get that refund? I never heard a word from them and never got the money.

On the many occasions I've bought shoes in person with a fitter I've had issues, especially with getting my orthotic insoles in. I take a chance and buy Bodyline shoes for the first time and they miraculously fit perfectly and hide how wide the balls of my feet are from bunions. I've paid for $300 worth of shoes I can't wear in the past then get this dumb luck buying chinese crap. Well, at least I can have at least one pair of actual lolita shoes that won't tear all my skin off or make me spend the whole day limping.

Thankyou, Mr Yan

Hi 'gulls, I'm getting into otome, and I was looking at some bodyline skirts (never bought from them before). Can you guys give me your thoughts/experiences on these? I plan on not wearing pettis.

And any news on that sale?

>>8176689
I don't think any of these skirts are what you're looking for anon. The plaid one looks OK but it'd look strange without a petti due to the shape. The other ones are a little bit cheap/have bad lace and would likely also look weird without a petti. Unfortunately, there isn't really much on the site that would go well with otome. The cardigan looks nice enough though!

>>8176654
Does it stop bleeding after the first wash?

>>8176451
I have it in both pink and black and don't find the pink one to be horribly see through, maybe if I was wearing something dark underneath but I never do.

But the ties are definitely a pain and take forever to get right. Also, lack of stretch makes the shoulders a little tight on my broad shoulders.

Anyone know how it fits on larger girls? It can apparently go up to 100cm but I found when I was 92cm that I wouldn't want to be much bigger at all. Haven't worn it since I lost weight so will probably sell them.

Does anyone own costume767 and would be able to give a quick review? And is there any difference between this one and Z026?

get out. also if you're the maid anon there's a review in the archives.

>>8176689
i have the striped skirt and cardi. the skirts pretty alright, the lace is pretty cheap, it would look better if you remove it i think. it has detachable waist ties. its a pretty simple solid skirt. not much to say about it other then it looks like the photo and the lace is kinda cheap. however, if you plan on wearing it without a petti, it will look extremely awkward. its longer then it looks. im 5'2 and it touches the top of my knees. without a petti on it just looks like its screaming "put a petti under meeee,, pleeeese,, please,,". its just no good for otome, unless you plan on using petti.
cardi is cute and looks like the photo. i have it in pink. i like it. the little ties at the top of it are really awkward if youre not good at tieing a cute bow. i just cut mine off. its kinda itchy if you have sensitive skin. other then that, pretty cute and nice cardigan. the lace is nice.

I just bought 24.5 shoes for my UK 6 feet... Fingers crossed that they fit.

>>8179251
I'm a UK 5.5-6 and always buy 250. Might depend on the shape of your toes though

>>8179274
I wear the same size and have always gone for 24.5 - I think if you're more of a small 6/5.5 you may be ok. I'm not trying to confuse things as add my experience, 25 would be too large in the styles I've bought. Higher heels may be different though as I always go for 6 or equivalent when the heel is over 3 inches.

Bodyline still hasn't released photos of the new items on their Rakuten site.

Also we're autosaging.
