It's a new thing I decided to start for AP release days only. If you want to be guaranteed a dress then you've got to camp out in front of the store from early in the morning until the store opens, then wait in line for a few more hours. I only had completely full slots when Milky Planet was released, and for the past year or so I've only gotten one or two orders, if any at all, since there's a larger pool of SSes to choose from now. If I had a full order I wouldn't keep the full amount from everyone.

Basically, whether I got the dress or not, it was an attempt that cost me half of my day.

I'm basically wondering how much you take as non-refundable, because my thought is, what is there to stop you from not even trying to get the dresses when you're going to make some money off every customer anyway?

>> No.6471103

>>6471040
It depends on the case. My fees are already pretty low, and I basically want to be compensated for my time because it seriously requires at least 6 hours of my day, often more. I might do it like, 500-1000 yen or something like that, depending on how many orders I've taken. I hardly ever end up not being able to get things though. Please note that this only applies to people whose entire order I end up not being able to get. I'm still hammering out the details but like I said, I've rarely ended up not able to buy things for people.

>> No.6471957

>>6471946

>Thought I would thrown in my two cents since I am getting a lot of requests for shopping services on this series very suddenly. Lots of people are wanting to know the shirring situation on the JSKs. The shoulder frill JSK has partial shirring in the back, bust 90-106cm, waist 70-86cm. The back frill JSK is a little trickier because it`s not well shown even in the sample pictures. The front has that lace up part, which means their *might* be shirring in the front of the dress with a faster/zipper or solid back. But I don`t know for sure. It has some shirring though, as the bust has a range. The bust is 88-95cm and the waist is 70.5 cm.

There is one more color not show, it will also come in pink with gold print.

There is a headbow with a cute little feather attached, dangling off one corner of the bow and tights as well. The headbow comes in all colors, but the tights only in black and ivory.

There is also a pair of feather earrings planned to be released, but the price has not been set yet, so I am not sure how soon they will actually come out.

With the exception of Gloria, the recent prints you listed are all sweet. Yes, they come in black, indigo and other dark colours but look at the designs and cuts. No doubt they AP have had some more "casual-looking" inspirations lately, but you only you look at the styling of the images they continue to publish in the magazines (particularly over the past 2 years) to see that they don't want to leave sweet - they just want to do something different with it, which I think they've succeeded in, IMO.

Pic kind of related. It's versatile enough to be sweet, casual and even classic.

Hate to be a killjoy here but it seems unlikely, particularly for pieces with shirring. The L-sized items that AP have released so far all do not have shirring: Cinema Doll OP, Royal Chocolate JSK and Royal Chocolate Skirt. I hope I'm wrong though!

I know Baby pulls similar shit and occasionally releases items with larger-than-usual minimum measurements.

>> No.6472067

Kind of. It just really surprises me, because I'm not really skinny. I feel like I'm normal. I live in Japan and I'm probably larger overall than many girls here. But I still only have a 89cm bust and 64cm waist.So they must really be catering to larger Japanese girls, as those are L+ sizes here.

If AP is making bigger sizes because they want to expand their customer base, then that's got nothing to do with "customer entitlement."

Also who says people who buy their bigger sizes won't be long time customers as well, or haven't been? It's just that now they have more options to buy besides jsks, shoes, and accessories.

You're just pissed because your brand isn't singling out anyone anymore. So now you have nothing to hide behind to disguise your body shaming, and now you can't say that fatties can't do lolita because now that there's more brand that will fit them (popular at that), and replicas and overpriced offbrand made by amateur seamstresses are no longer the only options.

I'm still torn on the whole issue, but I think you're missing the basic against-argument. The idea is that, it doesn't matter what your measurements are, or if "it'd be nice to see something that didn't max out at 89cm bust". You simply are not entitled to have clothing that fits you and is illegally made.

I know the feeling, I have large breasts too, but that's not really relevant to the argument. Many view replicas as a form of stealing, and thus, how big or small or whatever you are doesn't matter.

That's what I keep telling myself too but it's always Battle With The Zipper. I have a hard time getting into their fully back shirred items. I don't know how bigger lolitas get themselves into these dresses. I talked to other lolitas who are smaller than me and they said that they had hard times with AP dresses.

Oh, haha. I'm smaller than you and if you're talking about quarter-shirred items, they're a pain in the ass. I'm always fighting the zipper, to the point I usually just pull it on.

I think you might have not read the whole conversation... the anon I'm replying to was implying that the other sweet AP items, such as recent releases, weren't "true sweet" while prints like toy parade are. What I was saying was that the super-pastel prints are the only sweet in the world, and don't hold some special distinction as "true sweet". They're just sweet, nothing extra-special.

>> No.6473886

Yes quarter shirred is hell for me. I wonder if I'm not supposed to wear these dresses, even though I am not that close to the maximum measurement for some of the quarter shirred dresses. I do not like fully back shirred dresses because I don't like putting the dress on and then squirming into it. I'm scared that I'm going to rip it!

I hate that bodice. Does anyone else think those lace-up bodices with string are tacky as shit?

And I'm not sure about the print either. Maybe it's just because the picture is just low quality but it literally looks like someone splattered gold paint onto this dress.
And why do these brands only ever focus on Christian symbols? There's plenty of interesting hindu, buddhist, islamic, shinto, and even pagan symbols out there.

But I'm glad to see they're putting out some bigger sizes, even if people are complaining about them. It's easy to alter a garment to fit smaller than it is bigger, especially when you take into consideration that this is a winter print and a person is more likely to wear a bulky blouse or sweater underneath this.

>> No.6474389

>>6474379
I personally think the bodice doesn't look bad because it matches the fabric behind the lacing. If it was gold lacing and stood out, maybe it wouldn't look so good. Just my thoughts, though. Though, I'm more of a gothic lolita over sweet.

>> No.6474511

>>6474379
Because lolita fashion in general takes queues from European flavors and styles, and stereotypically Europe = Christian.
Especially with a Victorianesque Christmas print.

You do tend to see Japanese fashion with Stars of David a lot as well, although they seem to think of it in a Kabbalistic/Pagan sense (you see it a lot in manga with magical/alchemic characters or undertones).

Of course they're not going to use Buddhist or Shinto symbols, those are ubiquitous and boring to them and other Eastern religions have zero to do with the old European flavor of lolita. I'm one of them, and even I can realize and acknowledge this.
