When is the spring sale, exactly?

I have quite a few things I wanna buy..

>>8252070
Whenever Yan posts about it on his Facebook.

>>8251824
Reposting it here because I really wanna know if the M l076 goes over the listed bust measurements.

>>8252070
Isn't the old sale still on?

>>8252098
Ahh, so we don't know yet. Alright. I don't follow them on FB, my bad.

So, what is everybody's favorite BL dress/product? I'm debating on getting L066, but I also rather like the Choco Berry pattern on L299 (although the color I like is sold out..)

>>8252150
Is it? I'm not sure, the front page just has the spring sale banner on it right now.

tfw I just ordered $250 of shit here
ah well. they'll probably stop doing free shipping when the sale hits, no?

>>8252156
>>8252150
People on the Bodyline sales group have been talking about prices going up so I'd say no.

I requested this after the sage, so I'm going to repeat it in the new thread.

I'm looking to get one or two of Bodyline's uniform skirts for casual wear if they are decent quality. I'd like to know if anyone has recs and can tell me the fit and quality an stuff. I could only find one or two reviews out there. I think I want something in red, or maybe blue or black.

>>8252841
I have a plaid one that is as nice if not better as what you get at a department store. I can post pics tomorrow.

Has anyone ordered from BL recently and can tell me how fast or long it took for them to receive their package?

>>8253142
i only use EMS so can't help you there.

>>8253142
~2 weeks assuming all goes well at customs

>>8253142
I ordered on 8th this month, packages got mailed out on 10th and arrived 13th and 14th. The package that arrived first is already preparing for delivery, second says still in customs.

>I'm from western europe

>>8252070
Im prettys ure its happening now... i have a sticky note of items i want to buy and its reached the all time low price currently for 4 dresses at least

>>8252996
Cool! I'd love pics. That's good news, I was hoping for something of "real clothes" quality but didn't want to have to pay the price it'd cost from a uniform shop and couldn't find anything locally.

Based on stock pics, it looks like most of the plaid skirts are good quality if you say you have one and it's good, but the solid colored ones look cheap and thin in comparison.

>>8253142
Here you go anon. This is my current order.

>>8253496
Really? The dress I'm looking at still is higher than the price it was during the last 20% off sale.

>>8253719
I actually have a solid colored uniform skirt from Bodyline and it's damn good quality. I have pic related in Grey and when it arrived I was surprised by how heavy it was and how thick the material was.

I can't say if the other colored uniform skirts are just as good but here's something that may help. Check the weights on the skirts. Heavier the weight, probably the better the fabric.

Mine, the weight measurements were between 239 grams and 302 grams and the size went up to 4L.

>>8253740
Thanks for chiming in! I actually would like skirt in solid black or navy so I'm interested, ha ha. What's the texture like? It looks like it's satiny from the picture. I prefer something with a little texture to it, otherwise it feels like a costume to me.

>>8253770
Definitely not satin.It pretty much feels like an authentic school uniform skirt. It's not smooth fabric, it's got some texture to it, and the stock pictures really don't do it justice.

There's a review someone did of their plaid one but I can't link because 4chan thinks it's spam and I just got warned for it.. Just google "Bodyline review costume skirt" and it should be the 'ourwalrusroom' one.

>>8253777
Thank you so much! I won't be scared about getting a skirt from them anymore. Now the hard part is just trying to figure out what color I want. I hope whichever one I do get has a pocket because skirts with pockets are my favorite.

>>8252034
I'm buying my first jsk soon and I'm excited, amy suggestions for a newbie looking to get into loloita (Hime/Sweet/Classic styles)

>>8253815
My feeling is that all the ones aside from the seifuku sets have pockets. I haven't seen any seifuku reviews mention a pocket so I think it's just the traditional school uniform ones that do because the fabric is heavier and can support it.

I've got a red plaid and a pink plaid skirt coming so once they arrive I'll do a review here if you want? I bought pic related during the last sale. All the good pink uniform sets were sold out so I got a super cheap red one and then bought a separate pink skirt and tie to use with the red set's blouse.

>mfw in out of desperation the red is 3L and the pink is 6L
So glad there's an adjustable strap on the skirt. Thankfully the 3L is only big enough to be considered roomy on me but for $7 I ain't complaining.

>>8252162
Yeah everything seems to be a buck or two more expensive right now.

>>8253834

I wouldn't wear Bodyline if you're going for hime; the focus is on luxury and looking princess like and you won't be able to do that in a 40$ dress.

>>8253944
I've actually seen some decent hime coords in Bodyline dresses. It's all about how you wear it.

>>8253944
As >>8254120 said, there are decent hime coords people have made with bodyline dresses. L328 is one of the better to use. Example: >>8227465

Hello, I never bought from Bodyline before so I just have a quick question. I ordered a package through EMS and the charge went through just fine, a day later though I noticed a small charge on my account from Bodyline and I received no email about it. My package total was only 78 bucks, and the small charge was 2.34. Is this normal, should I be worried?

>Prices don't inclue shipping!

>mfw dress is brand new on Bodyline for 2,249 yen

What is it with people selling used Bodyline for the same price or even more than the new stuff is listed for. I understand if it's only been tried on or something but if you've worn it repeatedly...

ugh, more jsks are put up in price. I can buy brand secondhand at these prices.

>>8254490
Even if it has only been tried on, it's not new any more so why would they try to sell it at par with what's on bodyline?

>>8254675
Eh, I think if you've only tried it on (especially if the tags are still on) that you could sell it for the same price with a small shipping fee. Some people might would pay $5-10 extra to get it in 2-5 days rather than 2-5 weeks.

Related to all the uniform set discussion above, does anyone have pic related? I wasn't happy with the material for the costume410 seifuku (it randomly snags itself? and is like total plastic) and wanna know if these are made of the same stuff.

>>8254490
that shitty paint editing though

>>8253815
Hey anon. I've got 5 of these (433 in grey, 577, 547 in navy and grey and another one that doesn't seem to be on the sight anymore).
All of these skirts have pockets and are of good quality. In person they don't look costumey in the slightest. In my experience the solid colour skirts are just as thick as the plaid ones.
Mine are all either L or 2L and fit comfortably, just make sure you get the right size for you!
I have 2 of their Seifuku and in their skirts in comparison to these are so bad (no pockets, crazy short and really thin).
TL;DR I like them so much I bought 5.

Can I get some recommendations on some of the better quality blouses?

>>8252160
Hope you didnt use AIR kek

>>8253737
Odd, mine went down a tiny bit last sale but now is pretty low, maybe they just lowered the price in general for all the four items i want?

>>8256003
Hey >>8253840 here. It's not the same costume but it looks like pretty much the same kind of material so here's an old model photo I found for my red one.

>>8256127
Sounds about right. They may be lowering prices on the items that didn't sell as well.

>>8256069
Thanks for letting me know! Ha ha I can't pick just one or two that I like best so I hope I don't end up with 5 eventually because I probably don't need that many of them. So torn on colors though.

The sizing does look like they run really small compared to their Lolita skirts, though I'm not surprised because their sizing has always been weird. Do they all come with adjustable waists?

Also, are any of Bodyline's ribbons or ties decent? I'm trying to decide whether I want one or not, so I figure it's better to buy one on the cheap from Bodyline in case I decide I don't like it.

I know this isn't a uniform thread but since were on the topic I just want to say, I love sailor uniforms (probably got that from watching Sailor Moon as a little kid) and I wish I could pull off wearing one casually without feeling like an idiot or looking like a weeb.

>>8256283
In my experience all of the skirts have an adjustable waist, though it only adjusts by a couple of centimeters (the sizing is really accurate on the website though).
I have only ever bought tie185 and for the price it's not bad. It's about as shiny as a regular tie and adjusts by quite a lot. For the price I'd say just try it out and if you don't like it it's not a major loss.
I only really wear the sailor tops of mine with no tie and a jumper or cardigan for casualwear. I tend to wear casual sailor cardigans (not bodyline but here's the link: http://www.yesstyle.com/en/fairyland-sailor-collar-cardigan-beige-one-size/info.html/pid.1036988648).). They look pretty without making ya feeling like a dork.

>>8254490
I know the feel. I found a soft cream jsk in the colorway I wanted, someone selling it for $45 used. She also bought it from someone else.

>>8256526
That cardigan is adorable, that's the sort of things I'm looking for! Something cute without looking like it jumped out of an anime. Sorry for being OT again, but is YesStyle a good place to shop for clothes? I've read a lot of mixed reviews about them but I've also seen some pretty cute stuff from them too.

To be actually on topic, one of the shoes I wanted are finally back in stock, but of course the price is also raised by $10. Damn it Yan quit being so bloody unprofessional and seedy. Also, I have little faith that the RHS with the straps across the foot will ever be restocked, I regret not buying some years ago.

I got L087's restock in black, pretty solid coloured OP. I am getting into the habit of picking something from bodyline because it's cheaper and easier. A colourway of btssb's twin ribbon bag that I was wanting came up on mbok for 2,000 yen but I was like, ugh.The effort. Plus I could never keep a s/s order to just one thing.

>>8256531
You can get Soft Cream off Cosmates for that price. Some how they've got the larger sizes.

>>8256180
Hm, ok. When are you expecting your set to arrive? I would love a short review on the material because they probably are the same.

>>8257085
It passed through New York customs yesterday so I'm guessing some time next week.

>>8256796
YesStyle can be pretty hit and miss sometimes, but everything I've had has generally been good (pay attention to sizing and the reviews on the items page itself). Those particular cardigans are just as nice in person too.

I've never ordered shoes from Bodyline but I hear they run small? Is that a general thing or just on the lolita shoes? Depending on what the spring sale brings I may order some but don't want to stuck with an ill-fitting pair...

>>8257164
Just to be safe, always get a half size up. If they're a little big you can always put insoles in them.

>>8257164
It sounds like sizes run both big and small depending on the shoe. I don't really know though, I only have one pair of their shoes.
I don't remember if I ordered a size up or not, but since I almost always have to with shoes I'm sure I did. Mine fit me perfectly and it was pure shit luck because I have feet that are impossible to find shoes for. I don't want to take risks buying shoes online but it's so hard to find loliable shoes locally, and honestly since I have feet outside the norm it's hard just finding everyday shoes too.
Shoes are hard.

>>8257257
>>8257288
Thanks. This is really helpful!

Since everyone is talking about the uniforms, I have a question. Do you wear your skirts at your waist, or lower? And how long or short is the skirt on you?

It looks like the uniform skirts are suppose to be worn at the waist, but I want to wear mine just above my hips because when clothing sit on my stomach it's really uncomfortable and it makes me queasy. Is this okay to do or does it have to be worn at the waist? Also, I know this will make the skirt look longer, but do they look cute longer too? I remember reading Japanese girls who have to wear uniforms often would shorten them by wearing them higher with a belt, does that sound like something I could do if I wear the skirt lower but decide I want it to be shorter? I'm not sure if I'd mind the longer look or not. Sorry I'm a noob to school uniforms and kogyaru fashion.

So I bought a pair of shoes with airmail a couple days ago. Today bodyline sends me an EMS tracking number. Did they screw up in my favor or is it someone else's tracking? Now am I screwed if for some reason the shoes don't show up?

>>8254490
My guess is they don't know about the Yen trick and believe they're selling it for a reasonable price

>>8258631
No, they do that for every order. It doesn't mean you actually have ems

>>8258604
I have a larger sized skirt so I wear mine at my hips and the skirt is nearly to my knees.

If you're trying for kogyaru then you have to have the skirt positioned higher or roll it up so your skirt is shorter because that's how the fashion does it.

>>8256105
L076, it doesn't have the scratchy lace.

>>8257066
Thank you anon!

>>8258714
Fuck, sorry anon but I went to get a link for you and they've taken the other sizes off.

>http://www.cosmates.jp/en/shop/product_info/cPath/342_523/products_id/28820/

I checked a few threads ago and they had pretty much all the sizes listed but I guess someone tried to buy and they updated it all.

Hi. I've never bought from bodyline but am in the market for some gold shoes. I see all of them are sold out. Any idea how long they take to restock? Or should I go buy from somewhere else (if so where)?

>>8258738
1000 years.

>>8258740
So I guess buy them elsewhere...

>>8258653
Hmm I guess I'm not going for kogyaru specifically, more like inspired by it. But thank you. I'm not sure how long I would want the skirt to be, I've never worn a skirt like that before so I don't know if it would be cute long or short or both on me.

Sorry to ask yet another question, but since people are saying the waist is adjustable, is it that you can make it a few cm smaller or a few cm larger? Because that may determine what size I get... hmm.

>>8258775
Yes. There was a post further up linking to a review of Bodyline's school skirts. Find it and read it.

>>8258738
Just keep checking back. The newer style of shoes with the bows on the front and small heel were released initially in gold but restocked back in February. Since they're so popular and sell out so fast, I'm sure Yanners will keep restocking them. It's one of those deals where you have to be in the right place at the right time.

>>8253740
I have a light pink one - it's pretty light and a little see through so I have to wear a cream slip underneath to prevent any lewdness.

>>8258822
>light pink one

So basically the shitty seifuku ones like everyone has already said?

Anybody know if the 229 seifuku is any good? I'm tempted to get it for a separate outfit to wear during a con (so I don't wear the same thing for 3 days)

>pic related

>>8258882
are they trying to hide the zipper?

>>8258723
>mint
>Small
>Tfw the smallest size I fit in is Bodylines M.
Fate just doesn't want me to have this dress.

>>8258931
Message Yan about it. A few of us are in the hopes that he'll restock it.

>>8258895
Maybe, but I honestly couldn't care less about the zipper, imo. It doesn't seem to be as apparent as on the white seifukus.

>>8258895
It looks like they photoshopped it out on the upper right pic. A+ yandy man, so sneaky.

>>8258882
it looks kinda nice in certain lights especially without flash but honestly, it's just bodyline's standard, cheap, slightly shiny, thin costume polyester - same stuff the maid outfits are made from. The zipper hiding possibility seems odd, especially since a lot of authentic seifuku have them.

Its saving grace is the stylish design, but don't expect much from the material.

Is the yan-man ever going to restock the decent blouses like pic related in black? God damn.

New dress. The bow's a tad big, but apart from that...I may just have to get it.

>>8258987
trash

>>8258984
I know right. I'm really trying to improve my oldschool game and I've been wanting l076 in black for months. It's fucking nowhere.

>>8258980
Yeah, I'm not expecting anything fantastic. I just want a semi-decent, somewhat comfortable seifuku to wear when I'm not in my cosplay. It was between either that bodyline one, or some random ass one off of ebay.

>>8258987
I'd buy the beige one, cut off the bow, and wear it casually.

Does anyone know is shoes193 run big? I wanted a pair of them in owh but by the time i finally had enough for them, they sold out in that colour in 270 and I really need a pair of those for a coord I'm working on.

>>8258738
If you want them just for the gold, there's shoes245. They seem to be fully in stock in gold in every size.

>>8258987
The beige isn't terrible, but ugh the mint is so bad. Why couldn't it be solid.

>>8259010
I own this seifuku and the navy colour really helps to hide the zipper in person. The material is exactly as the other anon described but I think this one is a lot better than the the taobao ones (just a personal preference).
My major issue with it is that I feel the skirt is way too short, which is why I bought one of the better quality individual skirts to wear with it.
It's a nice design and looks nice in the flesh, but the skirt is unwearable for me.

>>8258987
>yfw all these new dresses are Yan's way of rubbing in your face that you'll never get the original macaroon print, Soft Cream print, or Unicorn dresses

>>8259045
How tall are you? I usually don't worry about things being short on me since I'm only 5'1".

>>8258876
No.
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/photos/costume577-2.jpg?4/17/2015%202:46:33%20PM
This one ^, sorry I forgot to write checked/ tartan

>>8259134
I'm only 5'4" myself. It's just just too short in length for me personally, it'd be best to check the measurements given for the best comparison.

So shoe sizing. I've explored the web all over and still do not get their sizing. I am a US size 6.Also what does M and W mean??? So confused

>>8259245
Men and Women, idiot.

>>8258987
The mint one is so cute but god why did it have to have such an ugly bow pattern??? There are literally a million things it could have been, but bright pink bows with BLACK centers is just soo gross.. Even soft pink bows would have been an improvement.

>>8259245
alright go here
>curezone.org/conversions_shoe_size.asp
now go to the womens chart
we have uk sizes, us sizes, europe and japenese. bodyline runs by japanese sizes.
so using the chart, were gonna go up to size 6 womens, go down to japanese thats size 22 and a half. thats your size, 22 1/2.
bodyline dosnt use a half symbol, they put whole sizes with a 0 at the end (like size 250, thats a whole size), and half sizes with a 5 at the end. (like size 255, thats a HALF size).
so since youre japenese size is 22 1/2, your bodyline size is 225.
hopefully this helped!

>>8259299
thanks!

>>8256796
I ordered a blouse from YesStyle, and one of the sides ripped open the first day I wore it. It wasn't an issue of sizing or doing anything rough while wearing it, either. It fit me just fine, and I was merely wearing it for a day out with friends.

>>8256796
YesStyle's quality is incredibly hit or miss depending on what brand you're buying from them. The YesStyle branded stuff is pretty good quality, but nothing amazing.

Nearly every item costs 2x-3x what it should, even cosmetics. You can find a lot of the same stuff on Aliexpress/Ebay/Taobao for much cheaper.

Does anyone have pictures of coords with this skirt?

I know bodyline has bad rep for their petticoats, but I've heard mixed things about pan078. Can I get some input from you guys about the quality?

>>8260539
Definitely casual but this girl's coord was great.

i got this shirt years ago before i actually got into lolita and i'd like to try and see if it's still usable. i wanted to pair it with l145 in sax since i already have the matching bag. initially i wanted to get the skirt in black but they are sold out of the bag in black.

what i want to know is, does light blue pair well with black like this? If not then can i get suggestions on what to pair with it from bodyline? i'm a 2l in bodyline sizes, so there are a lot of jsks that won't fit me.

Best Bodyline petti? Looking for cupcake shaped fluffy goodness.

>>8260722
with some very careful coordination you could possibly make it work - just. However this is if you already have godly skills and even then I don't think it would look very good. I think you should just abandon the idea in all honesty.

The blouse in itself seems decent enough for a basic piece with nice lace etc, I would just remove the god-awful white ribbon laces and all should be good. Just wear it with something else anon.

>>8259245
>>8259262
Medium and Wide width... idiot. There's also narrow.

>>8260962
I ended up having extra money to buy myself a white blouse with the skirt anyways. I thought about it and blacks only make sense to me when paired with other blacks, whites, or reds. So I got myself the sax skirt, a white blouse, and one of the matching bows to this print.

>>8260850
Look elsewhere.

>>8258987
If this was made in pink with lavender and pink bows, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

>>8259070
just hunt the sales, if your willing to get a less than great deal you'll find the first tw eventually

>>8260987
That makes a lot more sense, you did the right thing anon.

>>8261585
I'm still new to lolita, and all I've been good at pairing was pastels. I've never worked with blacks before, so it was a little awkward to try to think of something to match that shirt with.

>>8258987
Is that supposed to be Pic related?

They told us it would be released in november 2012
and we're finally seeing it now?and like this?? what the fuck yandyman.

>>8258987
This would be so lovely if it had a third tier in the skirt and was in different patterned fabrics. The shape and trims look really nice. I live in hope that since they tend to reuse dress styles they'll release a classic version of this. Dusty pastel florals I would swoon over.

>>8258987
why do both dresses have totally different prints? Doesn't Bodyline usually have different prints as different listings? Or are they getting lazy?

I'll just be waiting for the restock of 274 shoes till eternity

>>8261695
...maybe thats not it. maybe its a different dress he just felt like making.

>>8261695
this is so fucking cute. Dammit it Yan, why can't you follow through with this?

>>8261831
Yan probably looked at it and thought "no, this outfit looks way too high quality! It's not consistent with the quality of our other products! It's too good"

Hey does anyone know any decent bodyline dresses/skirts that are a-line?

I've been eyeing their wigs for a long time now but I'd love to see some worn pics that aren't stock pics iyswim.
Looking for W004 (shoulder length ringlets), W045 (curly bob), W047 (ringlet bob), W089 (long curly with with twintails), W146 (crazy ass old school wig) in any color. Help a gull out!

If I place an order with AIR Mail right now, (9:56 P.M Sunday PST) (1:56 PM Monday Japan Time); will it ship out Tuesday 4/20?

>finally restocks l087
>it's sold out in M in black
goddamnit

Anyone happen to know the quality of the uniform tops bodyline sells? I'm looking at
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=9107&pageNumber=3&pageStop=stop_5&noSubType=N#picture
and
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showAll.asp?type=left&subType1=cos&subType2=Uni
Are they worth getting?

Anyone know the quality of these shoes? I'm thinking of getting them for when I cosplay someone with school uniforms. Are they worth the price or should I check local stores first?

>>8265484
I have both the black and brown in these. I really like them - they're a pretty good quality and I've worn them multiple times.

I bought them through cosmates though because I'm a pleeb and they were hella cheap at the time.

>>8265484
They're okay, run small though. but .5 size up

>>8262454
from CoF

>>8265630
(no offense to these girls)

>>8265600
>>8265618

Thanks!

>>8264629
Its only the 2ls that were restocked

>>8265630
I was at this meet and the wig is really cute in person. I never would have guessed it's from Bodyline and might get one, myself.

>>8265686
damnit Yan

>>8265711
I know, so unfair

>>8262454
Ordered the curly/fluffy wig on the right in their dark brown 7 color. Can review it for anon when it comes in if youd like.

Just bought pic related. Never gotten a wig off of Bodyline before but it was $15 so I'm hoping it won't be thin and that I'll get it by mid-May since I need it for a convention the last week of May.

>>8266256
Bodyline's wigs are still pretty good for the price. Personally I think they're not too thick but also not too thin, just natural. The fringes are sometimes funny tho.
Hope it's coming to you in time anon!

>>8266283
As long as no wefts or netting show, I'll be happy. Thanks anon!

>>8265484
I have the brown ones, I wear them a lot as they are super comfortable. But make sure to order a size up.

>>8265630
That wig looks quite nice, thanks anon.

>>8266248
I'd very much appreciated that, thanks anon.

thinking about getting this OP in black... coord suggestions? or is it ita?

>>8266740
I think that's one of the "it looks way better in person" dresses so you should be fine.

>>8266740

What's your favourite BL piece anons? Or what's the piece that you bought being unsure about and ended up loving?

>>8266740
Seconding >>8266746
Just remove the flimsy bow on the waist and you've got yourself a really cute dress.

Just got those shoes in the mail and Lord, I can't wear them.
I don't know if they're too small or just silly in construction, but after a few steps my toes reach the front. When I'm standing still it feels good, though.

So when you order those, I'd recommend to take 1cm more than usual, since I already bought 0,5 more than I'd have needed.


>>8266290
I own around 5 wigs from them and that never happened to me. When I'm wearing two of them I even get asked if those are my real hair.
>because my real hair always changes colors and grows like hell over night

>>8267760
Maybe they're actually try too large and your heel is slipping forward? I got the exact length of my foot (25cm; I was going to order 25.5 but they were out) to see if they fit and they were absolutely perfect, if a little wide.

>>8267760
Or you got a fucked up pair, bodyline are really inconsistent with sizing, even on the same shoes.

>>8267768
>>8267769
I just measured them and yay, they're 24cm. Well, f**k you Bodyline.
That also explains why they're tight in general.

>And that after I've read so many times how true to size Bodyline's shoes became.

>>8261929
He could have just made it out of shitty materials or have added some fugly and hard to remove design element like he always does.

>>8262454
I'm really tempted to get the longer ringlet wig just for the hell of it.

>>8267760
I own these in 24 (feet measure 23.8cm) and they fit nicely.
>>8267777
What size did you order?

>>8267760

That is strange, the pair I got is spot on when it comes to size. I always wear a 24.5 in other brands and they fit perfectly.

>>8267788
I ordered 25 and my feet measure is ~24,7.

>>8267789
I bought two pairs, the other pair in 25 just fits perfectly (I measured them too and they ARE 25cm)

I try putting a sole into them, maybe that keeps my feet from sliding to the front.

I bought some shoes and they ended up too big, the smaller sizes are all sold out.
Do you think people will notice much if I put some insoles? I feel like I have clown shoes

>will people make fun of me for having what seems like huge feet?

>>8267816
Only if they're bags of dried horse shit

>>8267760
Thanks anon. I feel more confident now. I had wanted a pink-ish wig for my seifuku so I was glad to see what that looked somewhat natural on top and pink underneath.

>mfw I don't think anyone looks good in those blonde on top, pink underneath wigs
I have yet to see anyone pull those off. I bought one, tried it on, and then promptly sold it.

>>8267757
I'm gonna be a broken record but I bought soft creams skirt in mint by accident and fell in love. Was unsure about the candy stripe jsk but got that too and it's so much cuter in person.
Also in love with their sailor separate with the skirt, hat, and bolero. I wanted it in blue but got it in brown and it's a lot more solid of a set than I was expecting.

>>8267905
Image is from an ebay-wig but I think the model looks cute with it, so it's not impossible to look good with it when you're a human I guess.

You'll rock it Anon, I'm sure!

>>8267920
That does look pretty nice. Thank you anon!

My seifuku order just arrived. I was actually surprised by the quality of what I got for so cheap.


>costume421
>Size: 3L
>Price: 799Y
I actually bought this because Bodyline was out of white blouses and I figured I could just sell off the tie and skirt.

The blouse is I think typical Bodyline, meaning it's a bit thin (you can probably see my sports bra in the pictures) and it's made of stiff fabric. Considering this is a school blouse and not a lolita blouse, that's pretty okay with me.

The skirt is thin and see through, underneath I'm wearing black shorts. There are no adjustable strap on this, just a clasp, and no hidden pocket. I think this is one of their older styles, hence the not so great fabric choice and lack of extras you get with the new skirts.

Overall, damn good for 799Y considering you pay more than that on Ebay for bedroom-tier school uniforms.

>pic comparison stock photo / real life
Tie is missing because fuck if I know how to tie one of them.

>>8268460
>costume814
>Size: 6L
>Price: 1199Y
This is the color skirt/tie I wanted in the first place but Bodyline always is sold out of their pink uniforms so I was surprised that I managed to snag this one during the last sale.

The red 3L on me was just big enough to let me slip my thumb into the waistband but the 6L kept slipping down to my hips (pic related is when it was slipping down). Thankfully (and to my surprise) it's one of the newer designs so it has the adjustable waistband and a hidden pocket. The fabric is also heavier than the red one and not see through, from what I could tell.

The pleats are sewn down and I didn't bother to undo them since after I tried it on it went straight into my closet. The bow with outfit has an adjustable elastic band and a snap so you can unfasten it to put on and then refasten it. The fabric for the bow is also sturdy fabric

Overall I'm SUPER pleased with this one. Definitely worth the money and if you're smaller than the measurements by a size or two but desperate for a pink uniform, I'd highly suggest getting it and then adjusting the waistband. It may hang around your hips instead of your waist though. Either way it looks fantastic and is very sturdy.

>>8261695

Can someone point me in the direction or dump photos from previous art contests?

I'm interested in what people legitimately entered but unfortunately I wasn't around when they happened.

>>8268479
Hmm...is would you say the skirt fabric is the same pictured in the close up here? Regarding age I wish there was a way to tell how old a design is, then. This one comes up in the catalog on a lower page number than your skirt does but I doubt that means anything.

I know I posted before but if anyone has any of these color variants Id like to know if this set is shit or not.

>>8268742
Haha when I said I knew I posted before I thought it was in another thread (I thought I was in the seifuku one)...sorry anons

This popped up on my dash today. What you guys think?

>thinking that bodyline has real customer service
Top kek.

But seriously, it's well-known that contacting BL customer service without/instead of opening a PayPal dispute is useless.

>>8268742
I think I used to have the red one but I'm not sure if it's the exact same set (sold it so I can't take any pics, sorry anon) but the quality wasn't shit, just a bit mediocre. Sorry I can't be of more help.

>>8268742
Order anon here. That's going to be the same fabric as the red one I bought >>8268460
. You can tell by the skirt clasp in the upclose picture. The newer designs (with better fabric) have a totally different clasp.

>>8269146
No that tells me more than anything else I can find online lol, so thank you! It's like $12 so what risk even is there, really.

>>8268777
She's an idiot. Once it got to her country, it was HER responsibility from there because it was her shitty postal service.

>>8268777
i liked that part where she was like "i didn't know I was getting AIR shipping when it was free" like bitch it says it like 3x before checkout, it's at the top

>>8268777
That's a lot more customer service than I got recently. They replied once, asking for a picture proving their mistake, and then I never heard back from them. She at least got lots of emails, and it looks like in a timely manner as well.

>>8267905
Probably because the blonde/pink wigs are usually made for Sheryl cosplays

>>8266746
>>8266774
>>8267759
Perfect, thanks anons. Just put in my first order!

>>8269599
I mean it's obviously super impersonal, but I mean, I don't go into a bodyline order believing I'm gonna get any sort of decent customer service

>>8268777
She came off as really bratty in her "review" IMO, even when she stated that she paid for a package she didn't even receive.

>>8268777
This is incredibly stupid tbh. Retention actually means that it's been attempted delivery and so is now being held by the post office. If you don't go to pick it up within a few days.. Surprise, it gets sent back.

>>8265633
I wonder where she bought that wig...

>>8267816
I don't think so, whatever the size is there are probably people who have that shoe size naturally and look alright. It just seems huge to you because you're not used to it. Plus insoles will hopefully make them really comfy.

>>8270582
>bodyline thread
>where could she have possibly gotten that wig
>previous posts asking for bodyline wig examples

No idea anon.

>>8270614
Yeah, I realized how stupid my question was right after I posted it. I need to read before asking questions. Whoops. Haha

>>8267777
What color did you order?

>>8267777
>bat man quads

>>8267760
That's funny- I'm usually impossible to buy shoes for in person and have had to sell 5 pairs of lolita shoes I paid >£30 for. I took a chance on bodyline and these are the only pair of shoes to fit perfectly and my feet DON'T slip forward. Maybe you need an arch insert or something?

>>8267757
Magical Cosmetics. I wanted it in red or navy and ended up getting the black.

>>8265630
Hate the wig but love the coord

>>8265484
I still wear my actual school shoes that look like that...

>>8262066
The cameo print one. You can stuff it and make it bell shaped or let it hang a line. It's thick and fully lined

>>8269202
No? Until the package is received it is the responsibility of the seller. That's how Paypal's terms work.

>>8271330
As long as the address was correct, it's her postal service's problem. She's the one who never went to get it at the post office and didn't even try to contact the post office to see what was going on.

When does the spring sale end?

>>8271496
Has it even started?

>>8271514
The banner on the site and Yan have said they have, however the prices have gone up on the site, including if you use the Yen trick.

>>8271521
Ugh I want to order but want to make sure I do it during the sale, assuming there really is one.
Also can't figure out if I should order shoes now and pay more than I want to for them, or pray the price drops on them and they still have my size when they do. I don't want to pay more than $25 for Bodyline shoes because they are so plastic but I can't find a pair I like anywhere else that wont run me $80-$130.
Why is Yan so unprofessional? Can't he just say the dates the sale will run on the banner and stop doing the constant price change thing?

>>8271521
Yan is the ultimate troll, and knows he can pull this shit because there will always be demand for cheap, reasonable quality lolita etc clothing. He probably spends a lot of his time quietly amused at how frustrated everyone gets, one shade short of sustaining himself on all the delicious tears.

On the other hand, if I was Yan-san, I would probably totally pull this shit too.

How goes the cosplay stuff on Bodyline? Is it any good?

>>8272211
I have one cosplay and it's very nice and great quality for the price.
Also my friend has the Love Live cosplay and its so good too.

Can anyone tell me is this can fit a bust bigger than 88cm?
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showAll.asp?type=left&subType1=new&subType2=1

>>8272566
What are you linking us to?

>>8267760
I ordered mine big too and they still felt too small. I had to use a shoe stretcher for a night and then they were fine.

I'm sorry for reposting this here when I already posted it in another thread, but I am not going to be around for a while so yeah. Sorry.

how much does the waistband adjust on Bodyline's skirts, and do the measurements actually count the adjustable waist? (for example, if the size is 66-70, is that the size range the waistband adjusts to?)

I'm weirdly in between sizes so I'm having trouble figuring out which size I should get. I don't want to go for the smaller one and have it end up being too small, but I also don't want to get the bigger one and find it's huge and I can't adjust it smaller.

Thought I'd help spare a fellow gull the disappointment. While the boots themselves are lovely, the color is very different from what was pictured. I've lain it flat against a jsk (theyve never been worn so theyre clean as I know this sometimes irks others)with several pinks and it matches none of them. In reality its more of a peachy orange hue of pink.

Does anyone own COSTUME577? I really want it but don't know if it's go over my giant ass hips

>>8273112

I've heard before that some of their shoes have a completely different color in the stock pic.
This really sucks anon, looks like a pink that will actually go with almost nothing. No wonder you are disappointed.
Especially because matching colors is so important in Lolita.

Does anyone own L108? I'm thinking of buying it and removing the sleeves (which would be too short for me anyway), so I can wear it under cardigans and maybe some OPs. It looks frumpy on Venus but then again, so do most of their things.

>>8273875
Ya, most of their colors are a bit off. But usually its still useable. I own other shoes they have listed as pink so I expected them to be similar. The only saving grace seems to be that they may match some of Baby's older pink pieces such as merry sweet castle. Im also considering sharpie dying them...

>>8272692
isn't it easier to take things in? so just go for the bigger one.

I heard that blouse L527 is pretty decent, anyone own it?
I brought some blouses from bodyline in the past which turned out to be really bad.

Hey anons, quick reporting in, I bought the spooky dress in grey and the cute tartan OP in red, an they're both absolutely beautiful. I'm extremely pleasantly surprised by this, especially the tartan OP, the material is so nice, especially for just 1999 yen.

>>8275093
L066? I have it in blue and it's a really lovely material. Almost woolen. it's fun to coord also.

>>8275090
I have it in three colors. Im pretty pleased with it. Its light and the fabric seems decent.

/r/ing coordinates with P151

>>8275093
>>8275119
If it's not asking too much, can I request if you can tell me / show me the true colors of the OP? Both the red and blue (and pink if someone has it!) I look terrible in some colors but really wanted to get my first OP and thought that would be a good one.

>>8275311
This is a worn pic, it's pretty true to the color (I guess depending on the screen). I'd say it's a soft blue that verges on almost periwinkle. I was very impressed by the quality of the dress, as it was the first bodyline dress I bought and I had only heard horror stories really. I was pleasantly surprised.

>>8275324
It's also a really blurry photo and I apologize for that (my family is inept at taking photos)

>>8275090
Mine its on the way, hehe
Will came next week-

>>8275090
Some reviews here
https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/cgl/thread/S8113356#p8115867

L087 is back in M size dear anons - get on that shit quick!

>>8275324
Thank you! That's helpful for me. That's completely different than it looks on Bodyline's website.

>>8275527
i find everything on their website looks really frumpy and vibrant....it's really hard to find the diamonds in the rough sometimes

>>8275537
Sorry to ask you another question, but how long are the sleeves? I'm worried about them being too short and doing the digging into my armpit thing. Is all the lace cotton?

It's so hard to tell what something looks like and it's quality on Bodyline's website. I can't afford to spend much on lolita clothes though so I've been trying to collect some of those Bodyline diamonds. I think their older dresses were actually better than some of their newer ones because so many were actually made with cotton lace, I feel like the cotton lace really makes a dress look and feel better.

>>8275812
The lace is beautiful, mine looks like it almost matches that on my Happy Girl mini JSK. It's more of an offwhite/almost cream color though, not white. I would definitely go ahead and buy it if I were you. $20 for such a beautiful dress is an absolute steal. If you can buy some nicer ribbon to replace the corset back, that'd be a good plan too. Bodyline's ribbon is always shiny and shitty.

One mo and I'll take some closeups of the lace and measure the sleeves.

>>8277120
From pit to elastic is ~2 inches, with an additional 2 inches from elastic to the edge of the lace.

>>8277129
Aaand the lace. The material is this strange heavy and thick but extremely soft material. I like it a lot.

>>8277129
>>8277131
Fuck, sorry, those are huge.

>>8277120
Something that worries me is the collar being so large, and that it's high waisted. I have a small bust but have never worn an empire waist before so I have no idea how it will look and if it will suit me. And huge collars often dwarf me because I have extremely fine hair and don't do the wig thing. If it wasn't for those two things I wouldn't hesitate to get it. The pictures of it look lovely, the lace is perfect and I'm a sucker for tartan. Thanks for the pics and measuring the sleeves too, they aren't quite as long as I'd like but they could be a lot worse.

>>8277154
I'm also pretty small all around and I like how it looks on me. More huge potato pic but

29" bust, 23 waist

The collar IS a little big, but I'll take it.

>>8277162
I'd remove the awkward top ruffles but it's cute. Even with the old school oversized collar

>>8277154
I think empire waists look good on flat people, but that's just me.

>>8277162
>>8277131
>>8277129
I have this one too and one of the buttons came broken, Any ideas how I could fix it since it didn't come with an extra?

>>8277936
I can't help much but I think the buttons are kind of ugly since they are decorative only and if there was something they could be replaced with, like bows or ribbon or a strip of lace running down the middle, it might look nicer. So I guess if you removed all the buttons and did one of those things that would sort of be a solution?

>>8277936
I had this exact problem - the top button fell off as soon as I got it out of the bag. I put a ribbon on over it

>>8272575

>>8272566
Should be getting this in the mail on Monday. I'll let you know if it fits (I have a 88cm bust).

>>8279040
The buttons are not decorative, they're functional. Youbwont get the dress over your noggin without the buttons.

>>8279470
I read a review saying they were decorative and had no function, so that's weird. In that case, that's not good if the buttons are breaking, but it's easy to sew buttons back on.

>>8279448
Different anon, but could you also take a picture of how the straps are attached? I'm thinking about getting it, but I want to know how much of a hassle replacing the straps with something longer will be before I commit.

>>8259070
What size/color are you looking for?

>>8259070
>>8279555
Forgot to mention, what size/color of soft cream do you want? I have it and if shippings reasonable I could sell it to you.

>>8279556
Don't know about the other anon but I need a 2L black.

>>8273112
Unrelated to the unfortunate color, but are the bows on these removable?

Spring sale when?

>>8279683
Beats me. I've been staying on top of prices and a good number of them have actually shot up almost an offensive degree.

I think the 20% discount is applied at checkout, also have anyone made a full bodine fairy kei cord before?

>>8279613
Nope, they're sewn on. I was expecting them to be clips. But I guess all that extra metal was too rich for Mr. Yan seeing as these are already considerably pricier

>>8258699
Can anyone tell me how much give there is in the bust of the L076?
I'm over the bust measurement and under the waist measurement of the 2L so if the shirring in the back does give a little, I'll probably get one and take the waist in.

Christ Yan needs to bloody stop with raising the prices like that.

>>8280489
I am offended. What the hell. I know this isn't anything new for this crappy company but still. I was going to order a few things but I guess I won't be now.

>>8281081
Usually the rising of prices means there's going to be a sale. Typically the sales banners are up for a few weeks and then suddenly SALE TIME, LOOK HOW CHEAP!

So I dunno. Just hang in there, anon.

>>8281085
I hope this sale is going to be a real sale and not just things getting lowered to their regular prices but I don't have much hope now that things have shot up.

I can never stop laughing at this whenever I see this on Bodyline.

Anons help

I live in PA, why is my shit in Manila?

Should I contact them about it? Did they just give me the wrong number? A package I ordered /after/ this one already arrived.

>>8281229
It makes me laugh too but the thing that goes in the nose seems really uncomfortable

>>8281270
I actually have a fake mustache like this (not from Bodyline though). Yeah, the feeling of wearing it is kind of weird, but not that uncomfortable. The mustache is great for all kinds of laughs.
>>8281237
Anon, I think you should try contacting Bodyline (idk how that would help though because terrible customer service). Maybe you should also contact USPS, because I've seen other anons having the same issue of their items going to random international military locations.

>>8258882
I own this one. It's actually really nice. It's thick, a little soft, and nicely constructed. The only problem I have is that the ribbon is shiny but I'm just going to buy a different one for it.

>>8281237
>US military
Maybe that's some detour going to the US,along with American Militants packages?

>>8267760
Interesting. I ordered these in 245 since my feet measure to 24.5cm and they were too big on me (like a size 8). But I found that to be good since it gives me room to add insoles that make them 10x more comfortable.

>>8279540
Sure thing!

I'm having difficulty picking between L489 and l087. Can anyone help me out?

>>8281679
I own both, the right one pictured looks way nicer if you want to do gothic. It's almost like a MM knockoff, cut wise.

>>8281361
Is it the same material as their colored seifukus?

>>8281679
I agree, l087 has a better cut IMO.

>>8281831
how's the material?

>bought it second-hand
>still tries to sell it for more than a brand new one
>edits price and it's still more expensive

>>8279516
It is made of plastic with fabric cover, it was literally broken in half (Idk if it was the mail or bodyline but I def didn't force it).
I've been thinking about replacing them all for golden ones.

>>8279049
Can I see a pic?

>>8281900
Honestly think the dress would be cuter with plainer, more elegant looking buttons, so I say do it. If I ever get it, that's what I think I'll do.
I'm still trying to decide if I want to order it or not.

>>8281893
It's decent, the fabric on the other is softer but it's not as nice of construction/cut. The fabric looks nice and it feels okay.

Has anyone bought any cosplays from Bodyline, specifically and Love Live ones? I'm curious about the quality...

>>8281846
No, it feels thicker, a little heavier too.

Haven't bought from Bodyline yet and was wondering, out of all their blouses, which would you guys recommend getting?

>>8282025
I have Kotoris one so I'll give a quick rundown of what you can't see in the pictures.
If you're worried about flimsy fabric, you shouldn't. The shirt is like a kind of regular shirt fabric, probably some polycotton and the skirt seems to be a polyester twill with bi-stretch polyester as the plain red layer.
My only peeve is the gloves and as you can see in the picture, they're a kind of disgusting metallic latex. Also, the suspenders fall down a load so you'd need safety pins or velcro if dancing.
Basically, it's all pretty good and true to picture. You get your money's worth using the yen trick

Does anyone own wig Z600? How soft is it and how shiny is it? It looks really soft but it looks ridiculously shiny.

>>8281679
I heard nothing but praise about l087. As for l489, I've seen people mention it's pretty heavy and needs a very sturdy petticoat.

>>8282937
I don't know about that wig in particular but I've owned about 5 wigs from Bodyline and they're all good. I've just used baby powder to get rid of the shine and they weren't like extremely shiny or anything. And they're pretty cheap too so I think you should go for it?

>>8282897
Personally I like L009 (you can always remove the bunny ears), L301 & L364. I can get my giant clown tits in them, the lace isn't complete rubbish and the sleeves don't cut off the circulation. The material isn't too bad. If you search the Bodyline Tumblr tag there are a few examples floating around of people who have them, it helps me when choosing from Bodyline.

>>8282924
Thanks for the run down! Would it be too much to ask for some pictures perhaps?

Spring Sale just started.

Is the site down? It's not loading for me.

>>8283439
I see no difference in the prices
I can tell they're the same as 1 week ago;well, except they /extremelly/ jack up some prices

>>8283524
mr yan must think we're fucking retarded. i wish someone would call him out.

I want to get L066, but not for wearing with Lolita. I want it for casual wear, something storybook inspired and outdated looking, maybe slightly on the mori side?

I can't get it in red because my skin looks terrible with red, and pink would be too cute for the look I want, so I'd have to get the blue. I'd remove the awkward ruffles that sit above the strip of lace that runs along the bottom of the dress, and replace the buttons to metal or plain black if the ones it comes with give me problems. I'd probably wear with bloomers for modesty and the little volume they provide, but probably no petticoat, because I don't have a petticoat with casual poof and don't think poof would fit the image I'm trying to go for.

Would this work? Does the color work, will it achieve the look I am trying to go for?

>>8283541
Here's a set of outfits that have the feeling I'm trying to achieve, in case it helps make me easier to understand.

>>8281229
>that head
>kill_me.jpg

>>8283559
So like... natural-kei?

>>8283527
Careful anon, I got banned from the Facebook page for saying I could get second hand brand for the price of some of their dresses new...

>>8283653
A bit. Quite a bit similar to natural kei I think, so I suppose I'll agree that it's the look I want, but maybe not quite exactly. It's a style I can easily visualize in my mind, but haven't quite been able to bring out to reality yet or put it down on paper. I don't think some of my example pictures are quite the feeling I'm trying to convey, but they're close.

I'm also sorry if this isn't an appropriate thread to ask in, but I though that the people who owned the dress would know best if it would work or not.

>>8283670
Well yeah, you basically just said "your products are shit"

>>8283670
No, I mean we should call him out on the so-called 'sales'. He's just upping prices to make it look like some things are cheaper.

>>8283670
You can't be rude on a facebook page to a "brand", especially when there's something of a language barrier, and not expect something like that to happen.

>>8283541
>>8283559

You might want to put together a different collage, or go for a different dress. The one thing in common most of the outfits in your collage have are muted colours, and they are paired with browns and beiges. L066 in all colourways is anything but muted, and I don't think that particular blue goes well with beige (might work with some shades of brown... maybe)

I'm not saying you can't achieve your "storybook style" with this dress, just pointing out that there's this one huge difference between the collage you posted and the dress you picked out.

>>8283682
>>8283686
>>8283688
You gulls do realize I'm paraphrasing. I wasn't so straight forward about it and even asked rather nicely about the price increases. Instead of addressing it they just blocked me outright.

>>8281896
The price includes the shipping though, so wouldn't she be selling the dress itself for cheaper than the price shown?

>>8283698
Thanks for your imput. In this picture >>8275324 the blue color looked fairly muted and appears to match well with brown so I just assumed it would work.

I agree the collage isn't quite right, but they were the closest I could find to convey the feeling I was aiming for.

Maybe I'll pass on the dress then.

Considering you can get the dress off Bodyline with free shipping for cheaper than she's selling a third-hand dress with shipping? It's not a good deal. If it were only worn once with her being the original owner, I could see it going for that price but she bought it used and is selling it to someone who's going to be the third owner. It should be way cheaper than that.

What does my comment >>8283686 have to do with that?

How the fuck can be ending the spring sale if it didn't even start?

>>8283736
I suppose I just misquoted. My apologies.

Thank you for sharing worn pics, anons. I've been considering getting this dress for ages and I think I might do it.

I dunno. I'm the girl in blue and I guess I kind of went for that natural kei look almost. I think it worked out ok. It's a lot less bright than it is on the site. I think it would work for you.

Thanks for your imput. I thought your outfit was cute btw, and it's sort of similar to the look I wanted to go for. It really is that soft of a blue then? Like almost grey-ish blue?

Pic related might be a better comparison than some of my collage pictures?

Thanks! I also have quite a collection of tits myself.

Gah, I need shoes that were sold out during the last sale, wish he'd do a real sale.

do they always offer free shipping?

>>8284136
They've had it more often than not for the past couple of years. When it's not on it's $10 flat rate airmail.

Thanks, I've gone for l087. For future reference, is L489 one of Bodylines nicer quality black JSKs? Or is there a better choice for gothic?

I have this thing, Shits heavy as all get-out but its gorgeous in real life. And the straps are adjustable for bigger busted people. The bow is nice enough to actually use.

I have a few of this style in different colours. It looks really nice & the fibres are soft and natural - not shiny at all.
