Well here's hoping that you don't have to worry about a release at work! May your patients have patent IVs and your labs be run on time!

>>9454651
Thanks again kind anon. Sadly I will just be at the mercy of whenever they want to do the release. I can't in good faith stop what I am doing to just make a purchase so I would either need to be on lunch or off for the day. I just hope they do the release on a Saturday or Sunday since I miraculously have them off for the next month.

>>9454658
Do you have a lolita friend that could act as your SS and be ready to pounce on the release date for you?

>>9454662
Sadly no, I'm a lone lolita. (Little social life due to the medical field.) But thank you for the suggestion, you are very sweet!

>>9454671
Crossing my fingers for you then! Also if you ever want to talk medical life and lolita things feel free to drop a throwaway! I'm >>9454633

Why is fancy hospital considered menhera inspired instead of nurse lolita? Especially considering the hat

>>9454879
I honestly don't and am disappointed because everyone was claiming it was going to be menhera and I was excited. It /is/ them cashing into the trend though

>>9454120
Can anyone translate this because this is actually interesting?

got everything i wanted for fancy hospital except for those damn hats! 2 main pieces and tights hallelujah

>>9454610
godspeed, anon-chan. i hope all of the cute gulls who work in the medical field and want this print are able to get it!

I did not know I needed this release until I saw this cut in this colorway. I don't even want the nurse hat, as cute as it is, but the little cross headband would he cute to look for in the future if this dress ever makes it's way to my closet

>>9454884
Yeah to me it's just a nurse lolita release because they noticed menhera. I don't know if AP has done nurse lolita before.

>>9454879

Usually the uniformxlolita looks (nurse, nun, stewardess, military, etc) tends to focus more on the shape and form of the uniform itself. AP makes enough maid, waitress and military -themed outfits that you can see they also usually follow this norm.

It’s true that you can put together a nurse-like outfit, the jsk + blouse + nurse cap + striped OTKs would do it. However, everything else is a pretty mixed bag — the two OPs don’t look very nurse-like on their own, there is another Fancy Hospital headwear that’s a hospital symbol for your head, and the tights have a bandage on them, which is more patient-like than nurse-like.

The rest comes down to AP’s styling for their banner. They could have pushed nurse lolita, but even here it looks like they wanted to show how the jsk and cap can be worn casually in a non-nurse-like way as well. I’d say they were trying for both, they chose to stress the compatibility of this release with menhera style to increase their potential market.

What's one of the worst replica you've seen?
Saw pic related today, had a laugh (added the real one in the top corner for comparison)

>>9455147
That's so sad - like in a knock-off toy in a crane machine kind of way.

>>9455147
The bunnies cracked me up. This is Usakumya knock-off level of bad

Does anyone here have experience of buying from 'bad' sellers on japanese sites?
There's a JSK on mbok from a seller with only two rating, both of which are bad.
Would it be even worth trying?

>Manage to get a really cute jsk in the IW Golden Week Sale
>Accidentally use disabled card to pay with PayPal
>Paypal takes like three days to e-mail me saying that the card was declined
>Instead of letting me pick the right card, it charges another card that's disabled

I know it's my fault but I'm annoyed, I have to pay by May 2 and there's no way for me to re-pay the invoice.

>>9455212
I bought a dream dress for an incredible price on y!j and the seller accepted the payment but never shipped. Can't remember if it was cosmic, dream sky, or dreamy horoscope, just that it was some sky print for like $150. I don't remember if japonica or Zenmarket was my SS for that order but they refunded me after we waited for the shipment to arrive a couple weeks

I also had a couple sellers refuse to sell to my SS for no reason, there was nothing in their terms about no ss

>>9455238
How much did you spend? I was pissed at those prices after buying some of the dresses for full price and getting others in a very overpriced lp compared to what their sale prices are now

Also does anyone know what happened to the Annette re-release?? I was in class and couldn't check it until lunch, but it appeared to be completely sold out

>>9452898
Thanks for uploading this, anon!

>>9454887
Seconding this request

>>9455147
Jesus this is insane

>>9455212
I know which seller you are talking about. They also blacklisted some SS without any reason (and they didn't even buy anything from him). And considering his prices, it's scatchy as fuck.

>>9455238

It was 3,000 yen. Sorry anon, that is actually super annoying that they dropped the price that much. Which dresses did you buy for the higher price?

Does someone know what's paypals algorythm for withholding payments or is it completely random? I'm asking because it just happened the second time to me with the same buyer. I never have issues with payments coming from other buyers.

I really hope to find some answers to avoid this in the future. I just placed an order with an SS and I'm at a negative balance thanks to this fuckery...

Baguette translator here. You're welcome, I'm really glad you liked it. Will translate anything french, you guys can ask me. I'm a NEET for a year anyway so I'm always free!

Thank you for uploading this for future use.

Got an incredibly stained and faded Baby dress from Mercari that had no stains whatsoever listed.

Why is it that some japanese sellers on fril/y!j/mercari/... don't accept to sell to SS?
Do they hate the idea of foreigners wearing it or...?

>>9455421
Yeah basically. Plus sometimes foreigner-run SS don't know proper keigo, which can leave a negative impression of them on the seller's end.

>>9455297
I think the Annette series was already sold out because of the VIP presale.

>>9455212
I know who you're talking about and japonica wouldn't place a bid due to the negative feedback. Originally that seller had -1, but now has -2 feedback so beware. I've noticed the seller continuously reduce/remove auctions as well.

>>9455429
That's weird. Why do they care THAT much about a gaijin piggu wearing it? Money is still money.

>>9455473
Well, when the clothes get sold overseas they go out of circulation in Japan. They don't want their market to become more scarce, since they generally don't participate in Western secondhand channels (Lacemarket, FB sales, etc.)

>>9455402
It's probably something to do with that buyer...

>>9455433
Damn I saw that after the 21st but was hoping they would make it available again for the general reserve yesterday. I guess I'll never have this dress, I've wanted it for so long, too. It's ridiculous they sold out both re-releases so fast

>>9455479
Oooh I see. I thought they just hated us or something. That's understandable.

>>9454648
they took four minutes to sell out.

I didn't buy anything, but I timed it.

>Put in order to Chibi Tenshi for Baby's newest preorder
>Been a few days, still hasn't quoted a price or gotten back to me or anything

Please, I need that navy JSK...

>>9451258
>what do you gulls do to cheer yourself up?
masturbate lol

>>9455212
Requested tenshi to get a something from fril and the seller never responded to her. She got a refund . I really wanted it ;-;

>>9455513

You can still send in an email anyway.

Actually if you've done that on the first release (despite its sold-out status) you would probably have ended up on the waiting list this time around and gotten something. Since you're emailing on the re-release I can't say whether they see fit to do a third release, but if enough girls email them orders they actually might. It's what happened with Fantasy Night Sky.

>>9455614
She's probably busy with Fancy Hospital's release, so be patient, anon

>>9455402
That buyer is probably using a different way to pay than everyone else.

Is shipping from South East Asia really High? Anyone knows why?
There is a dress in Lacemarket I want but the shipping without tracking is very high! 50 USD. I don't know if believing it or not

>>9455632
Oh shoot I didn't even think to do that. I'll email them. Thanks

Where can i see which websites are blocked on zenmarket?

>>9456124
it usually costs me 20-25$ to ship a jsk from Singapore with tracking. But this is airmail. Maybe they're quoting you EMS?
Malaysia should be the same rate. I know Vietnam seems to be higher than the rest though.

Why is Atelier Boz's website full of broken images?
