They do look better than Bodyline's previous "yukata".

I'm still surprised they're selling costumes for under $4 each but they're going fast and all the good ones are in the under 90cm bust range.

>>10210981

Anon, don't break my heart.

Just posting some cute bodyline detail shots/coords

>>10214280

>>10214281

>>10214282
also some non-lolita bodyline coords since I know the maid outfits are usually another thing people tend to buy here

>>10214284

I really hope they continue to re-release old print dresses, There's so many I want that never show up on LM in my size.

>>10214326
Old dresses in general. They had so many super cute solids, too

>>10214284

>>10214326
their floral/gobelin dresses and skirts were legendary, we need em back

>>10213405
I haven't touched Bodyline in a long time but noticed the OP pic and had to come check.
I have been taking interest in kimono fashion recently and was interested in something cheap and breezy to dip my toes into while not dying in the summer heat, a yukata would be a nice start.
I'm very curious about this now, I hope quality isn't total garbage.

Wish they would restock some shoes but they're long gone from the website so I don't see it happening. Bodyline shoes are still the comfiest I own, too bad I was too much of a poorfag when they were available to buy 27494639 pairs in every color under the sun.

>>10214436
nta, but it's a cute maid outfit, from bodyline. They specified that it was "non-lolita"

>>10214502
Any pics of the gobelin pieces?

Did anyone take a chance on a yukata set yet? I'm curious about them, but maybe not $80 worth of curious until I at least know that the fabric is not awful.

>>10214326
>>10214351
I never liked the prints because it's so obvious right away that they are Bodyline but I really love some of the solid pieces when they are styled well. The good ones are so easy to wash and dry that I think I will pick up a few more for everyday wear.

>>10214872
just go on lolibrary, but this is my fav

>>10215631

Horror story:
L087 is back in stock...
...but not in black

>>10215783
FUCK THESE GUYS

>>10215783
link? can't find it

So, the event I ordered a dress beginning of last month for is this Sunday

Been stuck at “dispatch of outward office of exchange” since 28th last month

Time to do a BIG YELL :)

>>10215827
your fault for not ordering sooner. pmail usually takes a month to get to me in general.

>>10214511
Idk mang, you can get sets like these on ebay for significantly less. I've seen 2pc sets for ~$80 and three pieces for under $125.

I personally went the auction route, there's a handful of sellers on ebay that sell yukata really cheaply. I got two obi, two yukata, a lot of obijime, and two magic belt accessories for undder $70 USD. You have to be patient when searching though. There's also sellers like Ichiroya.

The patterns are really cute, tho hard to tell the quality without seeing worn pics.

>>10212741
Also just read this from last thread...I ordered a bunch of nanchatte items as well as random customers bc at $5 a pop why not. Now I'm worried they'll arrive all shitty. Guess we'll see.

>>10215928
I’ve been ordering from bodyline for 6 years and every day it’s arrived in the 10-14 day window so I figured 4 weeks was plenty of time :))))
Just bad luck that the one time I needed it to come quickly, it didn’t

>>10215997
It's been pretty long for me this year. 3-4 weeks usually. probably a delay because of sales.

My pmail tracking number has never worked at all (still says "Label Created, not yet in system") and it's been two weeks since the shipping notice email. Is that normal?

>>10215783
That's fucking bullshit, I've been so excited ever since that one anon mentioned the possibility they were gonna restock it and this is what they do? Damn.

>>10215800
https://www.bodylinetokyo.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=25015&lang=en

I'm getting a delivery fee of 700 yen for P-Mail shipping even though my cart is over 1000 yen, is this happening to anyone else?

Pfft

>>10216098
it's because your stuff is too heavy. might have to split your order up.

>>10216066
>indeed no blk

now I'm sad

>>10216114
did they really think anyone was gonna fall for that price with THAT picture?

>>10216187
Gosh darn, thank you!

Did that anon with the huge order ever deliver? It's killing me, I want to see her review.

Does Bodyline still mark down packages? Haven't ordered from them in a while, if they don't I'll just make multiple one-item orders I guess

>>10217080
I don't remember being asked if I wanted it marked down, your best bet is definitely to split it up.

>>10217828
well shit, just went and did that then. The day I have to pay customs for bodyline is the day I die.

they restocked l631!!!! they restocked l631!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>10215827
UPDATE: it arrived today lol the day before I leave

thank god, everything is ok

>>10218028
Does anyone here own it? The ends of the sleeves look a bit off.

>>10218221
I do, and it's not as pictured. there is no lace on the bottom hem and the lace around the collar is much shorter and doesn't look very good imo. :/ the sleeves are fine though, there are ribbons you can pull to make them look gathered at the wrist.

Do the ballerina rocking horse shoes run big? Someone offered to sell theirs, but they’re 1/2 a size larger than what I normally go for.

>>10218299
>l631
this anon is right. the lace used on the hem/collar/sleeves is shorter, and there is no lace on the hem.

>>10218299
I used to own this blouse and it definitely had that lace with the lace on hem, but this is from 8 years ago. It’s possible certain runs were different from others, and bodyline couldn’t source the original lace

>>10218453
it's the old version that did. the new one doesn't. I had this in white that I got from many years ago and it did have lace, but recently ordered the black and it does not.

>>10218447
>>10218453
>>10218455
Yeah I purchased it earlier this year right before it was low on stock. I got white and black and neither of them have lace on the hem, the lace is smaller (like in anon's pic), and for whatever reason the collars of both of mine were sewn upsidedown, so the interfacing is up and it's slickly puckered all over because of that. Oh well.

Just bought this for casual wear, does anyone own it?

>>10218377
They are more narrow, so some people have luck with going up a half size.

>>10218536
This material looks super gross, I hope it's better for you than that picture makes it seem.

>>10218756
an anon in the previous thread said it's like tshirt material

>>10218783
I have the other casual dress they released with this (same material listed) and can confirm it's soft tshirt material. Don't know why Bodyline didn't bother to steam the dress before taking a photo.

>>10218377
They all run small.

>>10218756
Anon is obviously unironed tshirt cotton

>>10218794
Thanks anon I supposed it was tshirt material but wanted confirmation

P-Mail area has been expanded.
New cosplay wigs have been added.

>>10219057
I bought a T-shirt from aliexpress one time and it was this weird shiny pseudo t-shit material, and it looked very similar to that.

Really wish they would just add a "restock" section to their website so we didn't have to guess what had been restocked.
Can't always trust the pictures or links they include since there's been cases where other items have secretly been restocked.
I wish I could keep better track myself but it's hard to remember if a dress has previously been sold out unless I was interested in it personally.
What I know for certain was not pictured, but has been restocked:

>>10218221
>>10218299
As someone else who owns this blouse, I have had a complete different experience. It looks almost identical to the picture and the lace is actually quite nice and soft.
I bought mine secondhand, so it may be a lot older.

>>10220999
the new version doesn't have lace on the bottom, and the lace is shorter. We've said this a few times now.

What happened to the anon who was going to share their Bodyline haul?

>>10221125
She said she'd try to finish taking photos Saturday. She did have quite a few things so I imagine she needs a chance to get decent shots of everything and actually review the stuff.

>>10221125
She unironically wore a maga hat and got kicked out of the con...

>>10221678
What?

>>10221678
based.

Does anyone have L511? It looks so cute in some pics and got restocked, so I'm wondering if it's worth 23$

>>10222920
I have it, the clasp on the back of the collar undoes it's self constantly, might just be a me issue though. The lace on the arms is scratchy and not the best. People have removed it/ replaced it and had good results. The apron that comes with it is alright but the lace is terrible. If you wanna put in a little effort and modify it I think it's nice enough for the price.

>>10222934
Yeah, I did read that about the lace. I actually just received a bunch of really nice torchon lace for other projects and plan to replace the icky lace. Thanks anon!

>>10214780
>since I know the maid outfits are usually another thing people tend to buy here
Uhhhhh...???

>>10222957
You'd be surprised how helpful bodyline maid outfits would be for your local con maid cafe. Imagine if these girls were all wearing a matching maid outfit around $20-25, it would improve the appearance of the cafe and would help distinguish servers from people who might be cosplaying characters with maid characteristics

>>10222957
it's obviously not for lolita, but cons/cosplays/maid cafe stuff... TONS of people on cgl have bodyline maid outfits. Not sure why this is an issue. Bodyline sells more than just lolita.

>>10222957
Don't hate on Bodyline's maid outfits anon, some of them are seriously nice.

>>10222920
Holy shit, is this poodlechan? Wow, she made that bodyline dress look so cute. Any other uses of this dress in a cute coord? I kinda want the sax one now.

>>10222957
Bodyline maid uniforms and seifukus are great, best costume quality you'll get for the price point.

>>10223311
Seconding this. When the pastel seifukus were $6 each I bought 4-5 of them to stockpile along with those super cheap $2 "arrives in a box and with some minor staining that washes out" ones that I've reviewed before.

>>10223317
I think at this point I own probably 20+ lolita and cosplay outfits from Bodyline if anyone wants an overall pic collage to judge quality before they buy.

>>10223319
I'd love to see it! I've been interested in a few of the maid costumes and can't really find reviews for them online

>>10223379
Sure! I should have everything photographed by the weekend. I think I only have one maid costume though. It's mosly the school uniforms and misc lolita stuff. I bought a lot of those fukubukuro.

>>10222934
I second this review. I don't touch the apron since it's very cheap looking. My one big problem is the weirdness of the collar. It feels and looks like a priest's dogcollar shirt.

There's been a small restock plus NEW SHOES!

Does anyone know yet if the shoes in 2L are actually same size as the old 26.0? 25.5 is actually too small for me but the new ’4 sizes only’ has me wondering if the 2L will also be too small.

>>10222957

>>10223993
I bought this one a couple years ago when it was still in stock and bodyline had that long sale where so many things were around 6 bucks. It's by far my favorite maid outfit from bodyline, and I think I have...6 different sets. I wish they'd restock it. I want it in black so bad, but the pink is cute too.

Jesus I just got my Bodyline order I purchased last week and everything I bought last week is now triple the price. Glad I bought it when I did I guess.

>>10224132
what did you buy anon?

Do you think they’ll ever have L353 in grey back in stock?
Does anyone remember when they’ve last had it?

fuck are they not doing the sale anymore

>>10224132
How long did shipping take? I'm waiting on an order from them too

>>10224675
looks like it is still 50% off to me. Just checked.

>>10224676
Pmail has been taking 3-4 weeks for me recently. I've made ~6 orders in the past couple months and they have all been around the same timeframe. I live in the US

Is L348 any good? It's a bit pricey but it looks cute in the pictures.

>>10224676
Well I’m not a cheap ass about shipping so I paid for end which was $20 and it arrived within a week.

>>10224137
I bought the green sailor jsk for $3 that was linked >>10212364 and it’s still there, but it’s up to $9 now. I also got L322 which is currently doubled in price. I never realized the patter was more kimono inspired? I thought it was just florals from the photo. But now that I see it I really love it and wish that I had gotten all the colors. I wish new Bodyline would start to put up better photos such as up close print photos.

>>10225494
*ems not end damn autocorrect

>>10225413
L348 is one of the best bodyline solids. The blk x blk and blk x wht can be seen quite frequently on cof and are also the best colorways imo.

>>10222920
is the color really cute and muted like this (the pink) or is it weird and vibrant like a lot of pics I have seen of it? Does anyone have upclose pics of it in sax, too? I can find so many of the colors, just not sax

>>10221678
Based af. We need a conservative Lolita com.

>>10226443
yes PLEASE

>>10226443

>>10226443
I'd love this, but I live in a super liberal place and finding lolitas of the conservative type is hard. Though I'm noticing more and more people in general getting annoyed of the stupidity of liberals and switching it up. Hopefully not that long before it's a possibility!

>>10226443
How to decide and agree what the rules are for it and then how to enforce them though? Harder than it seems. Still. One can wish.

>>10221125
>>10221137
That was me. I got sick over the weekend and just haven't had the energy.

>>10226765
You can hold your own, anon. That’s what I do. I don’t hate on anyone but I sure as hell don’t just accept anyone either and I keep my own standards for things as much as possible. Quietly, without fuss, I just go about having my own way and rejecting things that do not meet my standards. Freezing people out politely but absolutely without giving them any ground or any explanation either, is surprisingly effective. I recommend it to anyone who is conservative.

Is being liberal vs. conservative that much of a big deal in murica that you can't even share a table for a few hours each month?

>>10226864
I’m center left and it’s easy for me to get along with moderates and conservatives but most of America either sucks Trump’s dick or sucks tranny dicks and there is literally no middle ground.

>>10226864
It's fairly serious, yeah. We more or less hate the guts of the other half of the country. It's more or less a short hand for a big group of harshly opposing characteristics about you and the people around you. That's not even getting into the literal nazis popping up. Sometimes people just can't keep their mouths shut about it for a couple hours and once someone declares something everyone is more or less cattle-prodded into being For or Against and woe betide you if you don't have the majority in your group.
It would be nice if we could all enjoy dresses together but frankly lolita just doesn't have the power to stand up to the fighting.

>>10226864
Too many people assuming that if you aren't loudly ’for’ something then you are ’against’ it and if you are against it then you are against them personally too and against every other person similar so they need to strike back or more loudly ’educate’ everyone...to the point of if we weren't actually against them before, we probably are now...and so it goes. Plus if the food or weather is bad everyone is already on edge to start. I avoid summer meets except ILD or movie meets, honestly. Too much bad tempers and the overheated fatties are even more cranky.

Hi, I wanna talk about bodyline. I kinda want to get l489 in black, but the worn photos I've seen vary wildly and the stock photos are uglier than usual. Does anyone have any experience with it?

>>10226864
i have no problem with talking to people that differ from me politically, but in my comm i can't make any real friends since they'd exile me for being moderately right-wing and libertarian, like they did with a couple others that weren't liberal/progressive leftists. it'd be nice to have a comm with that kind of bond added in.
>>10226870
THIS 10000%
>>10227143
i have it in blue, it's a little heavier than it looks but the materials are adequate and the shape is good.

>>10227143
I have it. The lace isn't very good but it's ok on black or blue because there's less contrast. I don't like it so much on red. It's heavy, which I like, a sturdy washable cotton blend. You need good strong poof or it looks deflated. The bow is shitty. One of Bodyline’s better dresses but it's still unlined. Definitely needs ironing and a very good petti to look nice. Lots of fatties wear it, which usually looks big and sloppy because of all the skirt ruffles but I've seen it styled well too.
For bodyline piece 5/5
Price/value 5/5
Compared to brand 3/5
I'd get it on sale.

>>10227143
I own the black one. Just as the other anons said, the material is quite heavy, but also very sturdy. Having xxl poof is a must to not make it look like a sad rag. I would even consider wearing it with a cage skirt to keep a nice full shape. The bow this dress comes with is nothing special.

The dress doesn't really have many details going on, but is a decent basis work with. Make sure you don't cheap out too much on everything else and you will be fine.

Here's a good example of why so many people will reply ’it depends’ when asked ’Is Bodyline ok?’
I personally feel like the prints are ita but I am really a fan of several of the solids as good budget wardrobe filler IF AND ONLY IF they are coorded well.

>>10227288
I think something that people don't really add is that the fabric just isn't nice. They can look good in photos when corded well, but irl the fabric is thin, wrinkly, and cheap feeling polyester for a lot fo the dresses
I'm not sure about this one in particular though

>>10227324
There are a number of solid dresses that are a good midweight sturdy poly cotton blend. This is one of them. Some of the blouses feel and sound like crispy paper with ugly itchy lace though. I won't buy any prints, just those solid main pieces and shoes.

>>10227288
desu I don't think the bottom left one is too bad? it's not nearly as good as the ones on top, and from what I can see the shoes are awful, but it's just a mediocre coord

>>10227576
Yeah but mediocre + known cheap Bodyline dress is not so good a combination. I think you need to really do better coords than bottom 2 in order to fully escape the ‘Bodyline Is cheap crap’ stigma. Those are the ones that get better likes and comments anyway.

Thank the lord, new stock photos!

>>10227143
I have this one in black. Pretty much what other anons already said - heavier than expected, and on black the lace is not too bad since there is so little contrast. The material is soft. It does crinkle, but it's not shower curtain bad like some cheap dresses can be.

>>10215549
I just got one! I will post photos later.

>>10214351
I really miss the solid corset skirt they had. I have it in brown but I always regretted not getting it in black too when it was available.

>>10227143
On my personally, it looked like shit. But it looks great on my taller friends. So if you’re on the taller side it should look fine as long as you can style it well.

>>10228265
I want to get the second and third ones in black, but it looks like the design will look way too harsh against black

>>10229190
I don't think it'll look too bad, the image looks fine on the other colors, I'm assuming the pics just aren't good so the black and pastels have high contrast in pics. Either way, here are a couple of them in people's pics

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzzyYBgoYxP/
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrKOZppoYU/

>>10218536
I’ve got the bunny one and I like it a lot despite its flaws. I removed the lace on the sleeves because it was sewn on really weird and looked awful.
>>10218756
It’s kind of an unfuzzy sweatshirt material, it’s pretty comfy. Bodyline seriously needs to iron their shit before taking photos.

A new Steins Gate maid costume has been released.

Does anyone have L310 in wine or navy?
Are the colors deep and dark jewel tones (what I’m hoping for) or are they more bright like on stock pics?
And yeah, I know about the bib issue.

>>10229483
I have the wine, it is a rich jeweltone

Does anyone ever feel... weird about wearing bodyline? I usually wear my brand, though sometimes I fall in love with some pieces from bodyline, pick them up when they are cheap and on sale, love them on other people, but feel almost.. ashamed wearing them myself. :/

>>10229680
lol no
you’re overthinking it

>>10229680
It's easy to feel that way due to the negative perception Bodyline sometimes has, moreso in the past when it was more of a costume shop than anything else.
The thing to remember is that just because something is inexpensive, or not as luxurious, it doesn't automatically make it bad. For me, I see it as "taking the stress off" of my brand pieces. Imagine wearing a simple sundress for a casual day out vs. an expensive and extravagant outfit for an event or evening out.
I enjoy having Bodyline pieces in my wardrobe because I means I can still wear lolita in places I wouldn't dare take my brand. So I can go for a walk in nature and lay down in the grass, I can eat food that might be staining, I can play with my pets or go to a cat cafe.

>>10229690
Thank you anon. I think the reason I feel a bit ashamed of it is because I'm so used to wearing my higher quality pieces, and I am also a daily lolita, and I have had brand ripped and damaged occasionally. But for some reason I feel weird about some of the details of bodyline pieces. The laces aren't always great but the construction of the dress is usually better than normie clothes. It still makes me feel kinda bad, and I don't really understand why. But I like the way you think about it! Thank you~

>>10229690
This is my view on Bodyline exactly, it's like the jeans and t-shirt of the lolita world.

>>10229700
You might feel out of place in Bodyline, but to most normies, you're still going to look fancy and beautiful.

Of course Bodyline is not up to par on the little details, they needed to cut on costs somehow, but why worry about getting your nicer dresses dirty when a bodyline dress will do, that you can toss in the washing machine after and not worry about it?

I'm not a daily lolita, but I do try to wear it lots outside of meets. I don't have a very big closet or own a lot of brand, so bodyline lets me enjoy lolita without ruining my more prized pieces. Of course, I have a couple brand pieces I've worn down to hell and back because I just love them so much, but it's nice to have the flexibility.

You'll find a handful of anons that harp on bodyline like it was the devil, but I'm pretty sure they're a vocal minority, otherwise we wouldn't be able to carry on in peace in these threads without getting trolled. The majority of people don't care if you wear bodyline, and sometimes, when I get asked what dress I'm wearing, people are surprised when I answer that it's from there because they weren't expecting it to look that nice. If you really squint you'll notice crappier details but it kinda gets lost in the big picture if your coord is nice.

An e-mail was sent out today about a "Summer Anime Costume Fair." It's not entirely clear what that means, it doesn't have a banner on the website and the Instagram post doesn't say much more.
However the e-mail did have this interesting tidbit.

>>10229680
I felt weird for a while, a friend who is a self admitted brandwhore (not entirely serious) started harping on about how Bodyline was a waste of money etc and I really started to believe that for a while.

Bodyline was my stepping stone into lolita. It's weirdly sentimental for me, and I honestly regret selling a lot of perfectly fine and cute pieces just because I listened to someone talk bad about it. There were some pieces from them that I used to love but people decided they were ita magnets or would arbitrarily decide they were bad so I ended up selling them.

I've been picking up a few casual pieces from them now and wearing Lolita daily is so much less of a chore and fret. In reality, the quality overall is pretty okay and definitely good for the price if you buy in sale. My wardrobe is 99% brand but it's so nice to have something that I can definitely throw into the washing machine and that won't snag if I look at it the wrong way (hi AP).

>>10230605
Thanks for this! I think it might be my issue as well. I don't really care what other people say, but I guess hearing people talk shit about BL has made me.. kinda feel that way about it myself. Which isn't true, like I said, a lot of times I really like seeing it on other people and find it really cute until I try to wear it myself, then seeing the lesser quality (on myself) makes me feel... bad, I guess. Like I have so much better... But it's still cute! I'm so conflicted. I think I will do my best to wear it out and stop thinking of it in such a bad way!

>>10229789
>>10229767
Thank you both! This helps a lot.

I'm actually glad that some more people felt the same way about it!

Are there any more "bodyline lolitas" anywhere anymore? Any instagram lolitas that wear bodyline (it doesn't have to be exclusively) that post? I used to love Peachie because she made bodyline look super cute, but I don't really see many anymore, and everyone I follow on insta wears taobao or brand.

Got the yukata in red as a gift.
The geta is made of plastic and I can take photos of them too.

Are there any things like this Bodylines for men? Pretty interested in feminization but can't find a sight like this. Just curious. Sorry.

Kill yourself

Has anyone bought any of the new cutsews and cutsew dresses? If you would be so kind to review

Is emailing customer service about restocks pointless? I’m so tired of waiting for RHS, mine are finally falling apart.

>>10231849
yes.

I just got l481 (Cinderella bunny) in the black colorway, but... am I just super unlucky, or is the black usually this faded? it almost looks like a desaturated navy.

>>10231924
I saw someone else post a sale on LM for the black squirrel party, saying it's more like gray. I'd say there were some issues printing the fabric :/

>>10231936
ah yeah I just went and found the listing, the black part of the fabric looks very similar to mine. that's a shame. I don't think it looks bad in that shade per se, but the details of the print also look washed out a bit. I'd be curious to see how it compares side by side with an older release.

>>10231849
>>10231892
Bodyline keeps saying they're restocking things due to "popular demand," so maybe it doesn't hurt to let them know what you want?

>>10231975
Not that anon, but I contacted them on Instagram in Japanese about whether a certain dress would be restocked (they had done a restock, but only 2 of the 4 colorways) and they haven't gotten back to me. I figured that would be the best place to try since they're most active there and on Twitter.
Have any of you anons managed to get in touch with them before?

Is there any pattern to when they do the Pmail free shipping or should I just wait until it goes on the website/email again?

>>10223738
seconding this. Bodyline have been my best bet in the past with 26 cm feet, but how big is 2L??

>>10232122
P-Mail is still happening, anon.

>>10232122
THEY KEEP RAISING THE MINIMUM PURCHASE TO GET FREE PMAIL, BUT IT'S STILL FREE ABOVE 20$

>>10232448
ANON, I LOVE YOUR PASSION!

>>10230702
I just got squirrel party in black and it looks like this too. Which is weird since all the other colors on it are bright and vivid.

>>10232447
>>10232448
Thank you both! I'm assuming it's still for only one item? I was going to pick up a blouse but it's under 2000. Will I have to suck it up and go ems or are they more lax on items outside the specific "fashion accessory" category?

>>10232665
They're not super strict with the item limit, thankfully. I've managed to put a JSK and two panniers together and still be eligible.
I believe you can put the items in your cart, go to the check-out page, and if P-Mail comes up as $0, you're good to go.
(Just make sure not to proceed past the page that shows you the price estimate, I made that mistake and even though I canceled out of the Paypal screen, it still showed up in my order history as "incomplete." Thankfully Bodyline just deleted it without issue once I emailed them.)

>>10232677
Thank you anon! I hope I can be lucky and have it work for me. I was looking at some other items so I'll even see if switching the combo of items makes any difference.

>>10232682
I just got 3 dresses in the mail in one package, so just put stuff in and see what happens. if it's too heavy and it charges you, then split it up!

>>10232709
I've been tinkering around with it. I put three blouses in the cart (L364 in three colours) and it didn't say there was a Pmail charge. I added a dress just to see what would happen, and there's still no charge.

I haven't checked out with anything, but would they amend my order after payment if it was too heavy or is the checkout price final?

I'm sorry for all the questions, it's been a long time since I ordered from BL and I'd be salty if I paid shipping when I could've avoided it! Thanks to everyone for the help so far.

>>10232713
nope! if it's too heavy it'll charge the pmail fee before it even lets you pay.

The tracking on my order (two pairs of shoes) has been saying this for like 4 days. What does this mean? Are they going to be returned to BL?

>>10232799
Any idea what their bloomer quality is like?

>>10233198
the long, eyelet lace pair looks cute. I don't think the others would be too good though desu. I'll probably get the long pair soon and if I do I'll review

>>10233198
I have pic related from them (PAN015, they no longer sell it, but one of the new pairs looks similar.)
It's lasted me almost a decade at this point, and it's still my only pair of bloomers that I wear every time I wear lolita.
They're a study, heavy material, including the lace. I can toss them in the washer and then just hang to dry without issue.
Instead of having elastic, you actually tighten them using the ribbon at the cuff of the leg. So if you find yourself irritated by elastic around your legs, it's a really nice feature.

How are bodylines wigs quality-wise? I know about the tricks to make awful wigs look ok-ish (thank you baby powder lol) but are they needed here?

>>10234335
I have a couple and they're not too bad, especially if you get them for $6 or under in the sale.
Depending on the style they may be a bit shiny but they're not thin and I've not had any issues with showing wefts or anything. I would suggest you wash them when you get them though depending on the style. My straighter wigs look nice out of the box but some of the curly ones I've gotten could use a soak.

>>10233198
>>10233202
gave in and bought the long pair in both black and white. apparently it's not a new design and they have done this type before. hard to find reviews but I found a few old listings on lm. I'll let you know how they are in like.. a month or whatever

>>10233231
These look so much nicer than the new bloomers! Why do they always either discontinue or never restock their best items?

>>10234682
the long pair they just restocked looks nicer in other people's pictures than the stock pics

>>10222920
I have the dress and the pink is much more vibrant than in her picture. It's almost a hot pink. The lace on the sleeves is very uncomfortable but can be easily removed. Also, the collar is very plain with no details and feels cheap. Due to that, I like to wear it casually with no petti or apron.

>>10234674
Yes please! I hope they're not as crunchy as their blouses.

does anyone own L355? how is the quality?

>>10234682
It's a shame, but it seems like their focus is less on their online store and international customers these days.
For instance, this post was made a day ago on their insta. This headdress is sold out in the colorway shown but it looks like it's still fully-stocked in store.

>>10234895
it was just in stock in that color a week or so ago in the international webstore, so it just sold out.

>>10234899
>>10234895
I just checked and it's still in stock, so I don't know what you're on about.

>>10234900
I think they just used the wrong image on the manneken on the left, because both these headdresses are in stock if you look at what's actually in the boxes.

>>10234900
The headdress is only available on owh-owh and blu-blk online.
The one shown on mannequin is the red and black.

>>10234904
and the one showing in stock there in the basket is the red/black eyelet lace headdress, which is in stock

Two JSKs have been restocked.

How are pan060 and pan078 quality-wise? I heard that bodyline pettis aren't that poofy and therefore better suitable for casual, but I also want to layer a hoop skirt under one for extra poof.

>>10235185
pan078 is ideal for everyday lolita, it's a bit poofier than the casual classical puppet petticoats used to be. It is a tad too big for salopettes/"mini" lolita skirts, but if you want OTT poof it would be best to layer with another petti or as you said a hoop skirt

>>10235175
>l348 is 50 bucks now
>tfw bought it for less than 25 a couple of weeks ago

They really like to change their prices to whatever the fuck they feel like, don't they.

>>10235584
Yeah it's a bit annoying. I got really excited when I saw it'd been restocked, but I generally only buy Bodyline when it's at Bodyline prices. If I'm going over 40 bucks I might as well keep going and get indie brand or second hand brand.

>>10235587
Rather unlikely but maybe we will get a september sale for nostalgias sake

>>10235584
It seems like with each big restock comes a large price-hike. It's happened with previous restocks of other items as well.
At the same time they are claiming that there's a pricing error for some items, and the JSKs are still listed as being in the sale section.

Does anyone know of any bodyline jsks or skirts that look decent with very low or no poof? I'm going to a concert in a few months that I think would be fun to wear lolita to but I have floor tickets so I don't think a petticoat would be a good idea and I don't want to wear brand to it either. Preferably one that comes in black.

we need more cute bodyline coords in this thread. this gave me life.

>>10235810
What blouse is she wearing? is it even bodyline?

>>10235946
Her description says it is. My guess would be l009 with how huge the collar is and comparing the sleeves.

Speaking of, does anyone own this blouse? Is the fabric crunchy like some other bodyline blouses?

>>10235185
pan078 is the only petti i've ever needed, i've had it 3 years and it hasn't deflated a single bit

>>10235810
This is so perfect.

>>10235956
does the waist really just go to 70cm?

this ain't it

>>10236340
Its supposed to be "old school" but it doesn't read that way at all to me. Like a cheap imitation/costume of old school.

>>10236342
Yeah that's it, I'm honestly surprised so many people love it.

>>10236342
>>10236344
It reminds me of old school because it's kind of clunky and "off". Reminds me of the old days where brand was hard to get so most coords were loliables and handmade. It's not as pretty to look at compared to better coords or old street snaps for sure, but I guess it just kind of feels nostalgic to me.

>>10236340
>>10236342
It may not be your particular cup of tea, but for a bodyline coord, it's nice. I don't see it as being "old school" just a black and white gothy coord. Black and white does not mean old school.

Having said that, I think the worst parts are the socks and shoes, otherwise it's really cute for a black/white bodyline coord.

>>10236393
did you LOOK at that purse? for all the bitching people did about usakumya ruining a coord that marshalls/tjmaxx purse isnt doing any favors

Bodyline and Swankiss collab?!

What body line main pieces look good without petti/minimum poof peti? I want to try something sweet for my daily wear

>>10236826
Swankiss is pretty pricey for the quality, I wonder how this will work out?

>>10236892
desu I don't think any lolita dresses look good without a petti. L526 looks like a normal sundress without one though, but it looks much better with a petti.

>>10236826
Dang that's pretty impressive from Bodyline's side. Really curious what they're working on

>>10236815
A single purse usually doesn't ruin an entire outfit, and people here love to complain just to complain. Look at >>10236340

>>10236826
this looks horribly cheap and costumy.

>>10237066
thats because it is a costume. they're collaborating on costumes.

I just saw this on insta. If bodyline actually used decent trims their stuff would increase price-wise by like, double. I'd pay ~50 bucks for this dress with lace like this, but there is no way I am paying even 25 for what it is currently. Sadly, I can't sew for the life of me.

Dropped image like a tard.

>>10236826
Swankiss make cheap quality items anyway. Nothing ever worth the price

>>10237183
You don't have to know how to sew very well to attack some trims, anon.

>>10237183
Some bodyline dresses already have that kind of trims though.

Taken from a video Swankiss posted, another shot of the collab costumes. The post says they’ll be for sake sometime in September? I wonder if they’ll be sold through Bodyline or Swankiss?

>>10237702
So basically just Halloween costumes

>>10237708
It’s been said multiple times that they’re collaborating on Halloween costumes. This is still a big deal and might mean more collabs with “legit” brands in the future.

>>10237702
in the fetish world, wearing this print means you're a BBC loving hoar, and even worse things than just that without excluding that

just a fair warning, so if you get suddenly approached by creepy people you know what it's about

what's the consensus on bodyline corsets? I wanted to get one to cinch in a potato sack dress I got, but corsets are pricey and I wanted to see if this was an option before buying a nicer one

wow, that looks like shit

>>10238000
NO. they even look like shit, anon.

Sanrio announced multiple collabs with Bodyline this month, first one being moving ear hats:

>>10237868
>This is still a big deal and might mean more collabs with “legit” brands in the future.
More like "right now" considering the Sanrio collab was announced only one day after the Swankiss one.

>>10235312
>>10235956
Thank you anons, I just ordered it :)

I'm looking at a cosplay outfit with wrong sizes like the waist says 34 cm lol how am I supposed to know the real sizes? it doesn't seem to be in inch either

>>10241342
Could be measured flat. In that case the waist would be 68cm.
Is it a size S you’re looking at?

>>10241344
size M and that's the smallest size for that item, I guess 68 would make sense then, but the shoulder says 22.5 cm and that seems too big?

I also noticed that often their size S seems to be my size while I also have size S in EU, aren't Asian clothes supposed to run smaller? I normally always order M with Asian stuff, not sure if I should trust their measurements this much

>>10238374
tfw these don't ship outside of japan.

>>10241352
bodyline has weird sizes sometimes, and it varies between items. just go by the size bodyline lists and forget about "oh aren't asian sizes supposed to be smaller?" if You wear a size L in western brands, but a small in bodyline, just go with what bodyline lists.

Does Bodyline downmark items if you ask?
Just got hit pretty hard by customs...Still, there are more items I'd like to get in the future.

>>10243435
They do by default on anything I ever received. It's funny too because sometimes they don't even write what I really god, for instance, once it said I got a bunch of shirts and it was a dress and a skirt anda jsk...

>>10243435
yea for my first two bodyline orders i had to pay about £15 customs each ;_;

>>10238374
do these get the free pmail shipping or nah since theyre limited

>>10247189
any order over 2000 yen gets free pmail, as long as pmail works for your country.

/sorry for dumb question

is bodyline's shipping still miserable? last time (maybe 2 years ago?) i ordered shipping to canada it took like a month and a half for my order to arrive. need something for a con in 2 months time and not sure if i should order from bodyline or look elsewhere.

>>10248147
usually takes me a couple weeks to a month to get using pmail. if you want something in a few days, do EMS.

>>10241390
Seems like that was only an error, bought one today just fine.

>>10213405
I saw a post on one of the BL instagrams that they are having a Mr Yan birthday sale soon!

>>10248313

>>10248318
Is this birthday sale already on or is this just an old sale still running?

>>10248472
It’s an old sale price. Even though it’s 8/30 now in Tokyo, things are still only about 30% off.

>>10248318
I wonder if this is just in store, or in store and webshop.

>>10248640
I’m gonna be refreshing the items I want all day in case it starts late, I’ll let y’all know.

>>10248642
thanks, what are u hoping to get?

>>10248642
Bless.

I'm hoping to grab some cheap nanchatte and maybe one of those unicorn JSKs.

>>10248650
>>10248744

Just some basics and maybe a JSK. It's noon in Tokyo now and prices haven't changed.

>>10248788
I just checked and I don't see any difference either.

One of the JSK I clicked on still shows it's in the 31~40% off category.

>>10248826
Knowing bodyline they forgot to change the website. or maybe it was just in store only. Boo.

It's here!!

>>10249537
I got the email too! Yay

Ill post a review whenever it arrives.
It looks soft and comfy.

>>10249598
bought it for my first coord recently
havent worn it out yet but imo its great and i love it

>>10249598
Have you checked out L348? I got it recently and it’s for sure a good, cheap black dress

>>10249598
>L489

Does anyone have decent coord examples of this dress that are not from the bodylineneedsbetterpics tumblr or any of the recent cof posts?
I also own this dress in black, but feel a bit lost with coording ideas. Anything I can come up with feels so plain and lacking.

>>10249800
I don't have pictures, but maybe take inspo from sweet coords with a black main piece from other brands as well? I find a solid black dress is great - it's fun to coord with pink, red, lavender, any colour really.

Agreed but you can't expect much from Bodyline lol

They're supposed to be costumes. I think the nurse one and the nun are alrigh

>>10249537
boo this sale is lame! last year everything was on sale and this year is just like.. select items...

I chose P-mail for my shipment method for my order (1 pair of shoes, 1 jsk and 2 socks). I recieved a shipment confirmation on sept. 1st, but the tracking number I recieved still doesnt work, neither on the website they said in the email or on 17track. Should I be worried? It’s the type of tracking that is like RR38xxxxx63JP.

>>10250791
It's all good. Depending when they decide to send out the packages, it can take up to a week until they leave the warehouse. Wait until next monday.

>>10250446
Eh, they unironically look around Swankiss' usual quality (very cheap, despite the price tag) The nun, leopard, dog and bunny look like something they'd make

>>10250431
If they look like this on ultra cute, super thin Japanese models they're def gonna look horrific on me

>>10250791
>>10250806
yea for me it was a few days before the tracking number actually worked, itll be fine

is this normal?

>>10252037
yes

Do anybody wear shoes283? Are they fit well or oversized or too tight? My foot size is 24,5 in cm and Bodyline have shoes283 only in 24 and 25, which one would be better?

>>10252230
I wear 245 normally for comfort, but all of my Bodyline shoes are 240. I have these and they fit pretty well. The open space on the side of the shoe helps with that, I think. I find them to be comfortable. I've also broken them in a good deal and they are old as hell. I believe I wore someone else's in 250 (maybe 255?) once and I found them to be a bit too big.

>>10252230
I saw the yellow and got so excited, but it's not one of the options. XD

Oh well, maybe I'll get these in sax. They look quite nice and a bit of a different shade than my current sax pair.

>>10236340
It's looks good.

>>10252272
There really aren't enough yellow shoes used in coords. It's a shame because it's such a cute and happy color!

>>10226870
I'd rather suck Trump's dick than tranny dick desu. Troons are autistic, violent, and have terrible hygiene.

But seriously I was a liberal until people started telling me I was a transphobic for not considering transbian dick, and a nazi pedo racist fascist for not taking every desperate former incel tranny dick.

Now I'm blackpilled and honkpilled, it's comfy.

>>10252343
So you're still a liberal.
Fitting since you've got the snowflake mentality

>>10252343
so you stopped being a liberal because some randoms on the internet called you transphobic and a nazi, so now youre an incel? im guessing because some other randoms on the internet said something you like??
nice political philosophy retard

I bought the costume 577 skirt but the bottom pleats are sewn together. This makes the skirt into a straight tube as wide as my waist so I can’t pull it up all the way. Am i supposed to dethread the bottom?

>>10254799
Yes,

On a different note, I bought some of the new stuff in the sale (not sure if it was one sale, but that was my timing, lol). The sailor collar cutsew dress is a shirt if you're taller than 162cm (but a very cute and sturdy shirt, not really complaining) and like most cutsew things, fits bigger than the listed measurements. The cutsew with lace at the neckline is surprisingly nice for the price, also fits larger than listed.

Also, the new versions of shoes with S-2L sizing are smaller than advertised. I'm usually a 25, bought a L which was apparently a 25 and can barely squeeze my foot in.

>>10254809
A Japanese L is closer to 24.5. M is about 23-23.5 and L is 24-24.5.

>>10252343
Remember that this is how young adult americans form their political ideologies. people are reactionary and don't think about politics beyond social issues. How disappointing.

>>10254831
Sure, but they had it listed as L = 25 so worth noting.

>>10254799
You need to cut the seam open. They sew it so that the pleats survive the transport.

I tried on the l015 blouse and noticed the collar is slightly pointing upwards near the neck. Is this intended?

>>10255014
>l015
in the back, or? mine kinda pokes up in the back where the collar folds over but that's just a collar for you..

>>10252230
Am I crazy? The colors for red-red and red-owh, and sax-sax and sax-owh, seem really different to me. Also the black

>>10216001
Same happened to me?

>>10256788
Well, good news is mine got here eventually. It updated after a month finally.

>>10235956
I got pan 078 for $5 it’s on sale right now, even though it’s blue it’s really worth it.

>>10254877
I... bought a costume from them years ago and just wore it like that. I am feeling levels of stupidity that cannot be described.

Stupid question about RH shoes. If they’re not on the site, does it mean that they are not available in the acut shops too? I’ll be in Tokyo this November...

>>10258744
don’t worry it’s pretty normal for noobies, I’ve seen a few ppl do it lol
