No, I don't even like old school let alone proto.

I don't doubt it, I still want JP brand but as I said, the prints and dresses that have attracted me are from times long past and I have to wait until they pop up secondhand. The dresses I see out now just don't appeal to me as much as some of the taobao indie stuff or old JP brand dresses. Like that recent blue dress AP came out with. Maybe it has great material, maybe it doesn't, but it looked like something from Wish and the material looked far too shiny for my liking.

I probably don't know any better, but out of the pieces I have purchased, only one has disappointed me with it's quality. The others have had designs in the lace that matches the print, a subtle sparkling on the fabric I didn't notice until I look at it closely in the light, and the art on the print itself having cute details I can't help but stare at to find more.

As for brands dying, it's just from talk I've seen lurking around. If they're doing good then great, I hope they stay alive. I'm not saying chinese is better, just it appears that they may be upstaging JP in terms of price and availability.
