MTO means Made to Order, as in, they will make as many as are ordered. With a cap based on production capacity which could be high or could be more moderate. As a 20th anniversary thing I see no reason for them to not have it in every online store based on the information we have (multiple Japanese locations have posted already about it, suggesting at minimum the MTO is Japan wide and available in store and not just phone call/in person only reservations like they often do for store limited ones).

I was excited till I heard sugary carnival isn't going to be cotton and bunny dress won't be velvet.

I would be completely fine with ap's current designs if they would fuck off about synthetics and make something with NICE MATERIAL. Its disappointing and they only get away with their price tag because of their brandname and not the quality and you regards would still drink from angelic prettys ass even if the quality dropped even worse which would not at a be surprised if it did

Sorry for sperging I just miss when they tried and I really like some of the new designs and prints but would never bother getting them even if they were under 100$ because it's just not worth it anymore....

If you're talking about the periwinkle colorway, it's newer + there's less of them, so the people that own them have had a few more years worth of gathering info on how to best take care of the dresses. While rarer, it's also not a super popular colorway

So many of the original release have had multiple owners which increases the risk of damage with improper storage, staining, improper washing etc.

>> No.10516678

>>10516670
There isn't an error in my post. Both had "MTOs" in Japan and TDB was released at Yokohama and one other store only (Kyoto maybe?) and they reached capacity after a couple hours on the first day. It was supposed to be for sale for 3 days. There aren't that many TBDs floating around either so the cap must have been low.

Toy Parade was also only available at 2 or 3 stores.

I saw this earlier. Wondering if Japanese lolitas are about to purge all these old dresses before the rerelease so they can at least get near retail.

>> No.10516937

AP has done something good and started to rerelease things that were skyrocketing in price. Even so, I'm in a weird place where I was buying some things for prices that were above retail. Mainly sweet AP jewelry. I was getting used to paying $50 for rings and $80 - 100 for necklaces. Even ClosetChild and Wunderwelt have started pricing things higher, so I just accepted it. Now I don't know what to do with myself. The rereleases make me feel like anything is possible, like suddenly AP is just going to rerelease every popular series + accessories, and maybe I've been throwing my money away? Does anyone else feel the same way?

I'm wondering if AP will turn the tide and prices will go down again on everything because people will wait for rereleases. Or if we just got really lucky because of the 20th anniversary. The writing is on the wall though. Feels like Milky Planet, etc are next.

>> No.10516938

I bought some clearly overpriced dress in the past. It was not so far before because I still can't receive the piece due to custom clearance.

That's true, and for the most part, that's what I believe too. But I guess I'm not sure what to do in the meantime. Do I keep buying overpriced stuff because it's better to secure it now than wait on a rerelease? Am I dumb if I keep buying old jewelry for $80?

No, just DDD/DDs depending on the brand of bras. They're annoying but not enough to go under the knife. I'm just annoyed with this notion that big boobs means someone is fat which isn't always the case. Like I said, I can fit waist measurements easily with room to spare, it's just my bust that brings issues when it comes to JSK. I'm not the anon that made the initial comment about wanting bigger sizes, I'm fine with altering dresses if I can get the right fabric but seeing all the responses I got about how it's easier to bring clothes in than to make more seemed to trigger some folks. Sorry about that. I just see a trend of smaller people buying larger clothes purposely just so they can get them altered to fit them perfectly and figured it's the same thing.

I also wear that size 32 band sized up, but if I lose 15lb I would definitely go down a size and probably one inch. I guess you store most of your fat in your boobs? Mine is more equally distributed and I'm 5'7.5.

Also I think most people in this thread are getting sized out of brand because the measurements are starting at 35in+ bust and there are many girls who are a lot smaller than that. I feel bad for the girls who are around Risa's size because they are all swimming in their dresses.

It's not my titties' fault those girls are flat. Not mad at them but it is fine to want something for yourself if all it's doing is making people look a little too small for their luxury unnecessary dresses. It's also fine to want them to stay smaller and not care if the worst that happens is big titted people have to alter or can't wear their unnecessary luxury dresses.

The only way to resolve both sides of this is for AP to offer multiple sizes (maybe offer the standard size in normal amounts and test pilot a size with bigger bust and longer straps or torso for tall or big chested people in smaller quantities; any actually fat people can wear Meta's new sizes if they don't feel like altering). Which desu they could rake in more money doing. One size can not fit all, and "inclusive" sizing needs to include XXS as much as it already includes XXL (some bigger AP fits up to a US 2XL at this point) so everyone can be happy and AP can have enough cash to make more good shit like the stuff from this most recent fashion show, not the disappointment that was most 2020 releases.

T b h I don’t care much if they make it bigger in the bust, as inconvenient as that is it can be altered with the waist ties or by buying one of the totes that they often sell and using it for extra fabric (I’m actually pretty convinced that that’s the reason they sell the totes at all).

People act like large cup sizes with small waists don't exist but they really do. People's impressions of average bust sizes are skewed by media usually presenting women with smaller than average busts or les contrast between bust and waist. Also usually people with smaller waists and large busts tend to be nonwhite and a large proportion of non Asian lolitas are white and maybe don't see or notice other lolitas who have these body types, especially since the fashion covers most of your figure pretty well and like >>10518462 your boobs can be a large cup size like E while being smaller and for really small people that can be an 85cm bust while for taller or people with larger ribcages that could end up putting them in the 90cm or above plus sized bust range. Above 110 bust you probably have to be a little tubby, fat, or ridiculously tall though regardless of cup measurement. Nu Honey Cake did not need to be as big as it was and the cut was stupid for the sizing and just made people who weren't both short and tubby but still below a B cup look a little awkward in it.

I would argue.

I think that AP is afraid to take those risks. They seem to be targeting the Chinese and local market more, rather than in the west. I see Baby doing the same thing.

It's not like these brands are these enormous conglomerates that don't have to give a fuck. They tend to put their time and money into what will be the safest financial route for them.

This is why when they tend to do re-releases, it's been MTO in recent years. It's less of a financial risk to do so. These tend to appear based on popularity and demand, rather than at-whim. At the end of the day, lolita is still niche worldwide, even if it is more popular than ever.

Meta on the other hand? I don't know how popular the brand is in Asian countries, but it's always been steadily popular in the west due to sizing. Western societies are less homogenous, with more variation in height/bust (not accounting for body fat percentages).

AP and Baby/ATTP knows that it can stop targeting the West entirely, focus on their Asian customers and not fall under. They can make items that size out a portion of their western customers and do okay. I'm sure this is why AP in particular has stopped doing several cuts during releases.

Meta on the other hand, knows that it can't really do this. So they need to target the west and provide items that will attract their customer base. There's a gap left by AP and Baby (though never really filled consistently) and Meta is providing. I think it's a smart choice, even if their usual standard size is plenty enough for me.

I know Bear's Chocolaterie isn't releasing for a while, but now that we have images of it, which cut + color do you gulls think is the cutest? I really like all of them but I think I'm leaning toward getting the ivory JSK. One friend said mint is the ugliest, and another said mint is the best and I should get it instead of ivory. And which lace do you think they're going with in the final product? Each of the examples for OP, JSK, and Salopette show different laces.

I will probably go with the JSK because of different coord combos, but I'm super torn between mint and ivory. Ivory is super cute and pleasing to look at but the mint is so cute with the matching socks so I don't know. I just pray they don't go with the cheap dot lace

They may lose overall weight but people frequently lose only band size from their bust measurements upon losing weight, or their cup size could go up or down (smaller underbust but still a lot of breast tissue after weight loss, though lower overall volume could cause a cup size increase for the new measurements, or less breast tissue in the bust could cause a cup size decrease too.)

I have gained and lost weight and only lose inches off my underbust down to a certain size (based on my ribcage I assume), and little to no cup size changes typically. If it is someone changing from being massive to way smaller maybe then there would be more of a difference.

All the colors are so good, its hard to choose! I think ivory is good because its a bit of a more mature AND versatile color. With the chocolate teddy bears, the print looks a bit young. But the ivory colorway ages it back up a bit.

I agree with you on the lace, but I think they're probably going to go with the dot lace, so we may be out of luck in that regard. The crown lace looks way more expensive and would make the dress look much nicer, so I just KNOW they're going to upset me and go with the dot lace instead. All the KC photos have the dot lace which is a bad sign. Its only the dresses that are 50/50.

Americans will never accept how having 95cm+ bust without being exceptionally tall is fat. I agree with everything you said. It's going to be hard to convince people from a country that boasts a 40%+ obese population of anything that doesn't fit their "fat is healthy" narrative.

>Large breasts when you're not fat still puts you either under 1-2 cm above 90cm.

It's such a small piece of fabric that is mostly covered up by lace that even if the difference was that noticeable, you wouldn't be able to tell anyway.

The poly fabric is very slightly off for both the yellow and ivory colorways, both in texture and in hue. The yellow is a bit more dingy and less vibrant while the ivory is more cool toned/gray in comparison to their respective cotton versions.

That said, for just the KC it isn't too noticeable. I got the poly KCs just because and find I reach for them more than the cotton ones because they sit a bit more nicely on the head. Unless you were looking for it, you wouldn't really notice it.

The dresses on the other hand are very obviously different, since that is a bigger mass of the new crappy fabric they used. So in short, the KCs aren't so bad and even a bit cuter with how they sit, vs the dresses which look terrible no matter what you do.

Yeah RIP. I will just hope someone resells the headdress later because I don't want AP to think I want their poly. It would be cool if someone took OG honey cakes that were damaged and altered them into something like this new one. I feel like making better or new cuts of beloved prints would be the type of alteration even salty ass gulls might get behind. HC in particular though is probably still too pricey for anyone to do that with though.

(Side note, did anyone notice the last 2 HCs on LM listed much cheaper? Someone listed the yellow round JSK for $500 and got no bids, seemingly sold later but I'm guessing the person may have paid less than the 500. It was a gull selling it, maybe they can let us know the final price, and then a different account still has an ivory OP set listed for $650 or something but no bites last I checked, maybe the dress is losing its hype since scalpers made it so easily accessible in poly and people would rather spend that on more pastel sweet prints?)

>> No.10519673

>>10519665
Most of the time, any damage is on the border print itself due to improper washing so cutting it apart and replicating the special set is kind of pointless. It's really not cuter than the original cuts, plus you have to have a small bust to look cute in the ss cut, so eh. Plus unless you are savvy at altering, that kind of alteration would be a in the 100s or more, easy. Not worth it at all.

The yellow hc that sold for that much had horrible print bleeding all over and missing waist ties. IMO 500 is still a hell of a lot for that dress which said issues. OPs are usually worth less than JSKs so that in ivory is probably worth in the 500s as well rn.

So no, the hype did not go down and it probably never will since AP will never make that one in cotton again. For a cotton jsk in good condition, 800-1000 seems to be pretty set in stone depending on the color. It has gone up and down over time but they were priced around that a few years ago as well.

Also come on anon, hc has always been super popular because it is super sweet but also can be coorded in a toned down way. I know you want to believe it is losing it's hype but it never will.

>> No.10519675

>>10519673
The yellow one with bleeding sold for more actually (at least as far as we know, no idea why witj the bleeding). The one I'm talking about for $500 was one a gull posted here with the waist ties that had replaced buttons.

>> No.10519678

>>10519673

There is literally a set of an non rereleased cut listed for less than that not selling with a price reduction on LM right now. I would say $1K is no longer a typical HC price for ivory or yellow at all based on sales. I already have the cotton so have no reason to want the value to decrease (though I never really plan to sell mine), I was just asking if other peiple noticed these ones going for cheaper and semi-blindly speculating as to the reason, though the lower prices are fact. And I mentioned damaged dresses specifically because then people would care less that it gets cut up and rearranged, plus bleeding isn't that hard to remove in my experience anyway. Lolitas just don't know how to wash their shit.

You seem to only be going off your own opinion claiming the new cut is not cuter than the original based on preference and your statement about JSKs vs OPs and the bust comment, as if small busts are that uncommon in lolita.

That was me selling the yellow one with the replaced buttons! I ended up taking down the auction and selling it on a BIN to someone who sent me an offer. It went for 500, I really have no idea why the one with no waist ties ended up going for so much. I do think the HC bubble has popped at least somewhat. I didn't get a ton of interest on my auction or when I posted in the BTS thread. I think part of that was I was trying to sell it for a higher price at first because that's what I thought it was worth, but I just think that (at least for the round cut) the hype is lessened now. Maybe I just listed it at a bad time and if I had hung on to it I would have gotten more, but it is what it is and overall I feel it sold for a fair amount. I hope this helps!

>> No.10519694
