I want it, but I'm used to only buying main pieces at secondhand prices.

>>10328581
The retail price isn’t bad so I’ll be purchasing it

>>10328517
this print is SO cute but I'm really not feeling the colors they used, I wish the pink and mint were more vibrant

>>10328600
Yeah, it's definitely reasonable, but I'm used to getting skirts for $40 used instead of $200. They don't have these adorable Kumyas on them, though. And the blouse cut they released doesn't go with the skirt - they styled it with a different blouse in the promos.

i love that the ice cream scoops have kumya faces, though. they call to me.

>>10328611
I hope the straps are removable!

>>10328517
I love all the accesoires they made for this print

>>10328644
And its cotton.

>>10328610
Yeah, the skirt is hella reasonable, I might actually be able to participate in the blood bath lmao

Do you think this set is the "poor mans" version of Usakumya à la mode? They're both in the same theme but target two different groups

>>10328610
They've released blouses with kumya lace before you can probably find secondhand

>>10328603
I don't like the colours either, anon. It's a skip for me, which is a shame because I usually love and buy the Kumya prints.

>>10328517
The skirt in ivory will be so cute

>>10328654
i wouldn't say it's the poor version because if you drop dough on all the accessories you can get pretty fancy. more like a la mode is the conlita version because you can't dress it down.

>>10328639
I think they are. I saw pictures of the skirt in all angles and then without straps

>>10328639

>>10329076
>>10329066

Sexy

>>10328614
Hnnng I need this print now

Bump
The discussion isn’t only about this print ;; just any baby prints!

>>10329937
You should have posted another release or coord then. This is an extremely slow board, we don't bump things.

>>10328517
they did a good job on this sweet print! well done

Here's a good view of the two headbands worn together.

Is anyone here buying the bear ear clips? What color are you going for? I feel like I shouldn't get the ears because I already got the headbands.

My wallet wasnt ready for another dream dress...

>>10330020
I would love the bear clips, but like, my wardrobe wouldn't agree with it just yet.

>>10328517
I love this release and finally got off my ass to sell some stuff so I can buy it.

Have made $160 so far if I can sell the last two things I'll have made $260 exactly and won't feel bad about buying during a no buy.

There is also another Baby dress I'm probably going to sell. If I can sell that I'll try getting some accessories too.

>>10330086
Oh snap, link to sales?

going to add some more images since I'm hyped

brown ear coordination

white ear coordination

>>10330020
I’m considering the clips. Stuck between them and the necklace
>>10330127
Or these. Too cute

>>10330127
Is the jewelry from the set coming out as well?

>>10330431
yes, you can see it on the website with all the sweet ice cream stuff

>>10330431
Theres icecream kuma/usakumya earrings and necklaces!

>>10330431
Theres icecream kuma/usakumya rings, earrings, hairclips, and necklaces

>>10330451
>>10330434
RIP my wallet, thank you for the replies

>>10330096
Sorry I sold everything sans an ETC dress.

I made around $380 so definitely enough to buy the jsk and headbow as planned.

I'm pretty excited and am waiting for this to go up now.

>>10330580
I hope you can get your order, anon!
I’m planning on just getting the socks and skirt and maybe the headbow

In the US, can I reserve directly through the baby site or do I need to use a SS

>>10330591
I think you can order directly from the website. There was an option for shipping (EMS) only for foreigners outside Japan and then the shipping in Japan option.

Is anyone going for black colorway? It seems like the most busy-looking one.

I'm planning to go for the skirt in Ivory and maybe matching socks. I like the earrings and blouses, but that's too much for my budget.

Did this end already??

On the website it says the reservation starts at 12:00 but on Facebook it says 17:00pm so 5pm so which is it

>>10330696
no, it's still up on the US site

>>10330806
I think 1700 is for in-store. The online product pages say 1200.

>>10328517
When did they announce that Berry Garden was coming back in stock????

>>10330822
Weird it gives me a 404 error
https://shop.baby-aatp.com/pages/winter-sale-2020

>>10330870
https://shop.baby-aatp.com/collections/winter-sale-2020

damn, my paypal payment went through, but then it said all the items were out of stock. will they know to decline the payment, or do I need to do anything?

>>10330822
Fuck it rejected my card because fraud protection and then the skirts are sold out :^)

>>10330882
and they say skirts aren't popular! ugly skirts aren't popular.

>>10330887
skirts aren't popular for AP so they rarely do them. Baby frequently does skirts especially for sweet prints

Ahh missed out on the low waist jam but managed to get the high waist one and the headbow! Also got the Kumya pochette. So happy I managed to actually grab some stuff!

>>10330892
Congrats! I was able to snag the low waist JSK in mint along with headbow and socks...I may or may not have also threw in the Kumakumya pochette #foreverbroke

>>10330898
Thank you! Congrats to you too! I was too busy fumbling around so missed out on the low waist jsk. The kumya pochette is just too cute to pass up

>>10330887
It was gonna be my first skirt. I always wear dresses. I guess i gotta wait until a scalper lists it

>>10330892
>>10330898
Congrats!

>>10330881
Welp, I already got my refund, so that was quick. One one hand, savings; on the other hand, fuck.

I’m hoping I can post about aatp in this thread, How are their short waist clincher corsets? I know they aren’t real shapewear, but do they look good and are they pretty okayish quality?
I’m tempted but I also don’t wanna shell out $100+ for a glorified fancy belt lol

I miss the Paris shop. They used to take reservations as soon as the Japanese Twitter posted something so you'd never miss out on anything and didn't even have to try.

>>10330992
Depending on where you live you can try the Harajukucloset in Hamburg. They are an official Baby Reseller and can help you with reservations.

At LaForet they were going to do a lottery style and I got really anxious but then like only 5 people showed up and since I waited for a long time (they saw me waiting) they said I get first pick. I got super teary eyed
I’d die for the workers at this point

>>10331020
That’s so sweet
What did you end up picking up ?

>>10331035
The skirt and otks!

>>10330974
I haven’t worn them but in person they look kind of flimsy

>>10328614
Baby is forever the superior brand (yes,even AP) imo

>>10330992
Yeah the us shop sucks ass, it’s like they want us to pay ss instead of them

>>10331930
I used to only wear AP but I’m starting to love Baby way more because i don’t know what the designers for AP are smoking with this years ugly releases

Baby always makes me want to switch to sweet but I look bad in it

I like the front of the dress but the back has the full baby name on the back. But it ends with baby since it repeated so its baby the stars shine bright baby
Not sure why its offputting. Thoughts?

>>10332489

>>10332491
yikes, it's offputting becuse it looks off-center

>>10332139
I’ve talked to the shop girls. It’s not their fault. Baby literally just sends them the leftovers from other stores with no heads up or advance warning on what they’re going to get or when. When I was there they had just gotten in a huge shipment of just shoes, like 30 pairs of just one style (white with like a berry on them I think) that was a year old and they were like wtf. And then literally three random other pairs. That’s it. Or for dresses they’ll get 6 of one cut and colorway and one of another color and that’s it. They are the bastard step child.

Anons, what's your favourite btssb print, and what's your favourite solid?

>>10332139
>>10332556
Wtf? Why is it so much worse than the Paris shop

>>10332489
>>10332491
I wonder if this is less bothersome to Japanese people because it's English, just like it wouldn't bother me if a random Chinese or Japanese word was half repeated on a ribbon.

>>10332338
i know right??

>>10332359
Do it anon,just adapt it to your liking so YOU feel like you look good. That's what lolita is about right?

>>10332616
but the heart logos being off-center transcends language

>>10330974
I have one and they are just okay. Probably not worth it full price, but they do look flattering on some pieces.

>>10332613
I noticed recently that i have a lot of Lace Frill JSK in my inspo folder, so i guess that must be my favorite solid, though this isn't from an owner perspective. i haven't decided which print is my favorite. I'll think about it some more. the recent Sleepy Sheep is a contender. i love sheep motifs, and the fact that they're sleepy is a bonus. plus there's an edgelord wolf in a sheepskin creeping on them.

>>10332494
I didn’t notice the bow in the front either awkwardly starting with baby the stars then cuts off and starts again on the other side. It’s sad its so cute but the words placement irks me
>>10332556
I didn’t know the US location was getting the ice cream print either. I’m not in the US but it’s strange that they didn’t get a heads up about it. I read it was a bit of a bloodbath there too because no one knew until last second. I’m just glad one of my friends back home (US) got to get one!
>>10332616
Like >>10332616 said, it’s also the heart logo that repeats in an awkward spot. Ideally it should be <3 baby the stars shine bright <3

>>10332359
Theres lots of Baby available secondhand for low prices so you can experiment to see if you like it or if you like how it looks on you. Which style do you usually wear?

What do you put into the clear pocket of these A/P and BtSSB bags?

>>10332946
$1000 bills

>>10332946
It's a pass case

>>10332946
Suica/train passes

>>10332943
I have already done that and it looked bad lol. I normally wear gothic.

>>10332946
The buttons they also released

>>10332933
>edgelord wolf
Now I’m waiting for that band to exist

>>10332613
The colors and motifs are everything I want in my wardrobe

>>10332613
Pomme Rouge or Stardust Fantasia for favourite print, they just nail the exact art style and aesthetic I love.
Don't have a particular fave solid, I need more solids in my wardrobe.

>>10333277
Holy carp that’s good, I never saw that print in black before. I generally don’t prefer their pastel prints because they’re never vibrant enough for me but In black it just pops! Would definitely wear that.

>>10328614
whoa

I...I kinda want this now

>>10331930
When I got into lolita I was all over AP’s cake prints, and now I almost exclusively want Baby’s florals and solids. They’re such beautiful designs

>>10332613
For prints, Angel Chiffon and Pastoral in the Green Grass ~Poem of the Shepherd~ are close to my heart! I don’t know how I could ever choose one solid, but the Elizabeth OP in red is classic.

>>10333277
the black is so lovely, it's not gaudy like some black x pastel prints can be.

My sweet ice cream jsk and headbow got shipped earlier today. Hoping it gets to me by next week, can’t imagine it passing through uk customs by the end of this week

>>10334553
Congrats anon! My skirt is ready for pickup but the staff told me that the socks aren’t yet which is okay!

And now, for the complete opposite of the Sweet Ice Cream print.... (is it cheating if it's AATP?)

>>10339758
I think it would have been better without the white running down the middle.

>>10332615
The Paris shop also had bad stock and was overpriced af but at least reservation was amazing

>>10339772
Same, but nun and big cross is popular
