/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I just received my LP and as expected, my boobs crash the salopette. I folded it down and tried to pull it on as a skirt. Do you think this will work? I really like the fabric and colourway. Reselling should be easier too when it won't be altered.

>>10532719
If this was sewn and altered like this I’d like it, but if it’s folded you’ll have to cover the top edge and also make sure there are no lumps

>>10532719
It’s really crap that with all the laskluster releases and JSKs sitting around unsold, AP had to go giving people these crappy knockoffs if their own products. It’s infuriating, actually, and really really disingenuous.

>>10532713
Forth for pony bags rerelease. Make ponies great again!

>>10532736
ngl i don't trust AP to not fuck them up if they rerelease them

>>10532697
>>10532703
The online form on the JP site states payment can only be made by bank transfer, post (cheque/postal order I guess) or in person at the Harajuku store. Not necessarily a problem for domestic buyers, but difficult for anyone using mail forwarders who need to pay by CC

>>10532719
It doesn't look too bad, maybe wear a cardigan or an untucked blouse/cutsew (with a cute trim) to hide the fact that it's been rolled a little bit

>>10532719

If I were you I'd just alter it into a skirt unless you plan to resell; it looks cute this way and making it an actual skirt lets you have the option to tuck your blouse in.

>>10532723
>>10532742
>>10532741
Thanks Anons. Picture above was just a super quick try. I like to keep the option of reselling it, so I won't do big alterations. I found some suspenders helpful for wearing it as a skirt. I'll make the bow on the chest detachable for better layering (i. e. casual sweater above).
What really kind of annoys me are the straps. They are not detachable because the buttons are too big for the clasps. Because it's a funktional issue, I'll fix that too and will keep the original buttons.
Btw the other dress was fruity lemon in mint, which cut is quite flattering for my taste.

AP Paris MTO- Time to start working towards that VIP Status.

>>10532757
Hellll yeah. And since this will be the last time SC will likely be available new for a while, people can probably buy extras to finish their collections or have backups in case anything happens to their originals.

Honestly MTOs satisfy everyone who doesn't need the instant gratification of their items coming immediately; I hope AP continues the trend of offering popular cotton prints as MTOs.

>>10532713
I'm supposed to go Japan this summer thus I have money saved, but rona is putting in such limbo and I'm tempted by sugary carnival. Getting nb is bad enough, I guess I've got to hope ap paris will have some spare by the time October rolls around.
I would've moved to uni by the time the dresses get shipped, I wonder what their address policy is like for mto's, I might email ap paris to ask if I can change it at a later date (for nb)

>>10532759
You can put a note for them to ask you.
I did that with Freshly Picked Strawberries

They made the measurements bigger. I'm not looking forward to seeing nothing but fatties wearing sugary carnival in october

>>10532770
It’s basically going to be the new honey cake. As much as I wanted the rerelease I am a little sad that it’s going to be so saturated with itas and fatties.

>>10532771
It's ok anon. At least we'll look better in comparison, right?.........right?

>>10532771
Already been discussed. Only the OP is super big and as anons mentioned it's a less comfortable fit than the JSK so that should deter people from trying to squeeze too hard into it. It's nowhere near honey cake level. The size difference between 130+cm like HC and 102 cm on the SC OP (which still has limits for fatties because of shoulders and sleeves) is huge. So there will be chubby chans wearing it but it's not sized for full on hamplanets. If you're Risa's sized you're fucked sizing wise most people will look fine in the JSK and probably fine to a little baggy without adjusting corset lacing in the OP.

>>10532771

Imagine being sad some fatass literal whos own/will wear the same dress as you

>>10532770
Welp, guess this confirms my money's safe. Still hoping one of the stores will get the Twilight special set as an exclusive, I'd throw money at that.

The grand bazaar offerings this year suck, I guess they attached the sugary carnival MTO to it to bring hype. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of boring JSK + barrette special sets nobody wants.

>>10532770
>>10532771

>>10532798
not to derail but ed's be like that. you spend most of your time obsessing and comparing yourself to other people's weight. it sucks and personally its not worth it. go to therapy and focus on your own coords, y'all

>>10532770
It's funny, one of the reasons I got so into
lolita was because I'm very petite and the lengths+ typical measurements usually fit me very well compared to western clothes (of course, my main draw was the style itself, but this was a huge plus). Really hoping that this sizing up trend like with HC and now SC doesn't continue, especially with such sought after rereleases.

>>10532798
I just assume girls sperging over fatties are or were fatties themselves. The concept of getting mad at fat girls never crossed my mind until this board so imo it has to be personal for you to care this much.

Anyways I'm still salty about the op measurements. I wonder if I love it so much it's worth altering. Or maybe I'll just go for the jsk, I was originally torn between the two.

>>10532770
those measurements are pretty average for shirred stuff, calm your tits

>>10532771
Tbh I’m sad it’s gonna be saturated at all. I’m the original owner of two JSKs that I’ve kept in perfect condition over the years.

I know it’s petty, but it is pretty annoying that any old newb can put in an mto and get this piece, then coord it horribly and post everywhere. Like honey cake, it used to be such a specific investment to find and purchase it, that it was pretty rare to see itas wearing a genuine one, and now everybody and their mother are going to have one. I guess sugary carnival and honey cake were both indicators for me as someone who really loved the fashion and spent a lot of time and effort into their coords because you couldn’t just stumble on it, you really had to be on the lookout. It’s not to say that people who didn’t have the dress weren’t real lolitas, but only that the people who did own it usually were very into the fashion, and had been for some time.

>>10532822
>the people who did own it usually were very into the fashion, and had been for some time.

This is exactly how I felt about the MTO of honeycake. If someone was wearing HC, I could tell immediately that this is someone I could have convos with about releases etc. The last meet I went to before the rona I tried to strike up a convo with a girl about her MTO HC, and she literally had not heard of the pink color.

>>10532822
Holy fuck this is pathetic energy.

>>10532839
More like toxic energy :/

>>10532841
Yup.

>>10532818
Yeah lmao they’re like 4-5 cm bigger then the original y’all are weird. Seek therapy please.

>>10532770
The original had a bust of 88, and waist of 68. It's not that much different and it still has corset lacing so idk what you're complaining about?

I plan on getting the other 2 MTOs in sax and pink but that’s also my favorite sugary carnival colorway. Should I get lavender which I also like? I thought about doing both but I also want a significant amount of money set aside in case my dream dress comes up.

>>10532822
Thankfully the SC MTO isn't landwhale sized.

The HC MTO was trash because it was tent sized, polyester, and came in the worst colors. Mint and pink HC are the only ones that are cute anyway.

>>10532846
AP people love to complain instead of just truly enjoying their shit and letting people be happy. That's all I've learned. There's gotta be something to hate.

>>10532852
I'm convinced the sizing is exactly the same as the old sizing and they're just including the stretched measurements without the corset ties being laced. I've def seen girls with bigger than 88 cm bust wearing non replica SC.

>>10532771
>fatties.
>max measurements are pretty standard for partial shirring.

You can't compare this to honey cake. If you're going to cry fatties, you may as well be crying fatties for every release. Get over yourself.

>>10532857
But they do, every time they complain that AP's sizing has gone up

>>10532822
>>10532824
This is real imho. There are tiers of Lolita interest, and these kinds of dresses used to be an easy way to id how interested someone was. There’s nothing wrong with conlitas but when someone is sporting something like HC or carnival or SC, it indicates that it’s more than just a con costume for them. As a lonelita living 3 hours away from the nearest comm, it’s a helpful metric when I go to cons.

>>10532872
Well that's over and has been for years your prints don't make you a veteran or better lolita

>>10532803
Same here. At some point I'm thankful because I wanted to make more savings this year. I always thought that purple set works for Shibuya aesthetic, so there's a little chance even thought I'm not particularly lucky when it comes for special releases at AP store.

Btw I was looking for pic related and find this photo I kinda remember to be taken by AP SF staff, and then I realized it's AP SAN FRANCISCO actually getting exclusive stuff back then.

>>10532881
Starting to wonder if some of you bitches are colorblind. It's not purple.

>>10532822
Sugary carnival has already had two releases, your precious dress wasn’t rare to begin with

There’s always been shitty SC and HC coords going back to the livejournal days. Take off your rose colored glasses about the past.

>>10532822
I agree, so we should all do more to showcase GOOD coordinates with SC. Do it with the MTO Honey Cake too if you have one. I can't wait to see good coordinates of SC once again.

>>10532884
Okay, how would you call it knowing that "lavender" is already taken by another colorway? Official color name is "blue", but it feels weird to call it that, the color has some obvious pink-ish tone.

AP US just updated a banner with SC MTO coming soon! Waiting for details now.

>>10532846
the original was barely small enough for me, this one is going to be huge. that's why i'm mad.

>>10532894
It’s still blue...blue can be pink toned, it’s still blue. Take a color theory class before you start sperging about colors.

I‘m just happy when the MTOs are over, because I can’t stand all these newfags asking the same questions again.
I swear, if a single person asks „Will US get it?“ once Candy Fairy or Nakayoshi Bunny MTO hits..

>>10532906
Well don't complain about fatties ruining your burando then, that's clearly not the problem.

>>10532896
Thank you for the heads up! So excited.

>>10532894
It’s blue. The lighter blue color is pink. This is simple.

>>10532757
Just watch MTOs not count towards VIP status, like sales.

>>10532926
*sax not pink, I’m an idiot

>>10532906
Then get it altered, stop whining.

>>10532926
>The lighter blue color is pink
It is indeed, but an actual set color is not pure blue, so lighter color would be some really cold shade of lavender

>>10532822
I kinda get this, but at the same time, Honey Cake and Sugary Carnival never screamed "status" to me. Stuff like Vanilla-Chan, Melty Ice-Kun, and obscure solids (Cutie Heart, Twirling Ribbon, etc) were way more of a signal that someone had/has been into the fashion for a long time. HL, HC, SC are all hype trains, even before the rereleases. I always thought "well of course they own those." It wasn't impressive.

But like I said, I get the general feeling. Cause some of us spent a lot of money and time looking for rare pieces that are now at risk of becoming common. Which I guess makes us feel... undervalued and dumb? Like if AP rereleases every item in my wardrobe tomorrow, my stuff looses a ton of value. I've honestly been hesitant lately to pay high prices anymore because everything feels like free game for a rerelease. But I'm not really mad at it? Because in the end, it means I can keep my originals or replace them/buy doubles and have less anxiety about wearing and ruining old rare things. For example, I had an unworn pink Toy Fantasy with tag that I never touched. I bought the MTO and now I can wear the MTO a lot easier, knowing I have the original as backup.

Also lastly, if you're into lolita for clout, you're in the wrong place.

>>10532906
Gain some weight

I feel kinda stupid for rushing to get a spot with my SS back in December for SC. I'm pretty much locked in now with buying mtiple dresses/accessories and have to hope that the AP USA MTO period ends after the later reservation dates in Japan. Cause if not, and my SS fails, I'll be left without anything.

>>10532906
Anon I'm in the same boat and it's really not a big deal... You're probably new, but the corset lacing is more than enough to give the dress a good fit.

>>10532950
This was my big problem with releasing Nakayoshi and Candy Fairy. They used to be basically top tier in terms of AP rarity and now everyone's going to have them. To quote the incredibles, if everyone's special, then no one is. Most of these people are just on the sweet hype train anyways, so once the trend dies they'll just dump them en masse on LM and wreck the market for something that used to be really special. I'm not saying they need to be crazy expensive but I have a vision of Nakayoshi sitting on LM with a price reduction and it makes me a bit sad desu.

Sucks to be whoever bidded like 3k on Candy Fairy last fall tho oof.

>>10532921
Just hide the thread if you're that bothered by it, sperg.

>>10532978
The new nakayoshi is cotton and the new candy fairy looks extremely different. it really isn’t that big a deal.

>>10532987
This, but also, if your only enjoyment in the fashion is the rarity of your dresses and not wearing the clothes, you're a wannabe special hypebeast and no one cares how bummed you are you can't be elitist and/or fantasize about the resale value on your pieces.

I just wanna wear the damned clothes.

>>10532978
Like >>10532987 said, at least there's still some worth in owning the original. There 100% will be some people who want the velvet Nakayoshi and hard tulle Candy Fairy only. They'll still pay out the butt for it. It's kinda trending towards Pokemon card territory, where the mint first editions go for thousands of dollars and any other edition is cheap.

It's that weird balance where those pieces are almost extinct too, and if you haven't got one in good condition already, you're screwed. I've passed up Candy Fairy at least 3 times because it was wrecked. I'm sad the new one is different, but I'll take it over a dumpster fire.

>>10532962
it's almost as if multiple posts and replies told eager beavers like you to calm down and just wait for more info from the USA and Paris stores

>>10532894
It’s periwinkle. It’s a really weird purple-blue color irl. Not like the deep blue in the photos

>>10532978
>To quote the incredibles, if everyone's special, then no one is.
You realize the villain said that right?

>>10532990
> fantasize about the resale value on your pieces
Dude, think long term. You might want to change your style or drop lolita fashion all together. Lolita prices are quite a big deal, especially when you buy popular clothes at market prices. I do realize that making a brand piece is expensive and that cotton releases are probably have to be funded by big poly releases, it’s all completely understandable, but not every lolita buyer can afford treating these pieces as disposables.

>>10532985
Why should I? This is the AP thread and I like to discuss AP and not „How to MTO 101“. There’s the stupid questions thread for a reason.

>>10532906
I've got a 79 cm bust and I'm not worried about it fitting me. It'll look fine with the corset lacing and waist ties tightened.

>>10533027

It isn't AP or anyone else's problem that you're spending money on a fashion you're not confident is worth the money for you. If you really can't afford to buy a dress unless you know it will be worth that or more in the future maybe be more financially responsible and treat the clothes as an investment in your happiness, not your bank account. The fact we can resell our clothes and have predictable price ranges for what we'll get back should we no longer like/want/be able to keep them is just a bonus.

The convo wasn't about what people can afford though, it's about people caring so much about "feeling special" because they have something someone else doesn't and being bothered by MTOs of things lots of people want because of it and that's silly, to hope against MTOs just so they can be elitist/feel better than everyone. I don't even want any of the dresses in this MTO release and I can see how dumb and whiny these people sound complaining about their "status pieces" being more acessible to people who wanted them.

I thought at some point in lolita everyone had very similar pieces and that was kind of the fun? I remember back with the first two SC releases everyone seemed to have it then, and nobody fucking cared because "cute dress, I have it too yay!". When did it become a collection hobby instead?

>>10533045
This. Twinning and AP clones were a thing partly because we all just liked sharing these cute clothes everyone enjoyed and geeking out over the latest pieces and whatnot.

>>10533046
I wanted to get two so I could twin with someone! I'm a lonelita though so I think I will just get one set..

>>10533037
Most of the time those who have the "so called status pieces" don't even dare think of wearing them bc "muh resale value". What's the point on owning clothes if you're just going to keep them in the back of your closet in a bag in hopes that maybe someday you'll sell it for more money?

>>10533037
I’m not saying it’s anyone else’s problem, my point is that resale value concern is valid.

Idk, as I said before I feel like lolita fashion has always been hypebeast-y. People encourage ownership of rare pieces, so other people naturally want to be a subject of that. It might sound shallow, but it feels so normalized in community it’s hard to blame.

I finally got one of my Dream dresses, I was too young/poor to get it before so I'm just happy I can rock a dress I've wanted for a decade. Sorry I forgot about lolita for a few years in-between and not cool enough for you.

>>10533027
This is so laughable. Most other j-fashions can only dream of the resale value of lolitas brand pieces. Usually you’re buying something with the risk of never seeing any of that money back. But suddenly when it’s AP it’s a problem when you lose 10 bucks.

I’ve been into the fashion for more than 10 years and have been buying AP directly or second hand. I’m honestly happy for these MTO. I have an original HC cotton and will be getting the cafe set soon. Whether or not an old print becomes more widely available does not affect my own personal enjoyment of the fashion. I’ve sold several sought after pieces in the past to friends for retail or how much I paid.

>>10533059
You're in it for the right reasons

>>10533061
You don't even have to sell for retail or lower to be in it for the right reasons; I don't mind people getting market rate prices when they sell, it's the obsession over how much a collection is worth that's unnecessary and does no one any good.

>>10533059
I have og honey cake and am also considering buying the cafe set and the MTO for more regular wear. I don't like AP poly but at the same time I do like the print and don't want to stress about messing up my already aging original.

>>10533026
No retard dash says it first

>>10533066
If they had made the cafe set in cotton I’d have sold my fucking kidney for it, but I wear my dresses quite a lot and the poly shows wear so quickly.

>>10532719
Honestly I would just say cut your loses and sell it. Get yourself the red jsk that is still in stock on the AP site. You deserve better anon.

>>10532978
Boohoo get over yourself

>>10533066
People worried about wearing their clothes is the weirdest fucking thing

>>10533097
I wear it regularly but do notice it fading a little over time since I initally got it. I would wear it more around the house or to tea parties indoors so it gets less sun exposure probably while saving my poly one for outdoor events.. I cook and clean and work from home in my brand. I guess since I really had a tough time finding it I am interested in being a bit careful with it. Plus all APs new stuff will be poly I guess, so I should get used to it.

>>10533097
I’ve made a pull on my poly dress just by taking it out of the closet to admire the print, pulled another one by trying it on (not sure if that was me though, the dress is second hand, but seller claimed it to be unworn). I haven’t even get to wear these two out. Poly things are fragile as fuck.

>>10533097
Some clothes are more delicate than others, it’s not even a matter of lolita only

>>10533099

Well this makes me want to reconsider trying to get used to wearing poly. I'm pretty rough on my cotton pieces and wear them as daily clothes now and if poly is more fragile it literally offers no logical benefit for me so I will rather shell out for a second cotton HC in a different cut than waste money on a more easily damaged poly one.

>>10533104
Fwiw not all poly is the same, it's the chiffon and thin poly stuff that needs more care. There's thick sturdy poly fabrics out there too.

>>10533114
I originally bought poly HC and then sold it to a friend and it strikes me as the type that would get damaged based on other AP pieces people have mentioned trouble with. When I owned MCD it was fine despite being chiffon and lighter. The quality of new AP on some items is a little questionable.

>>10533117
I’ll second this, the chiffon I’ve had little trouble with. I suppose it could get caught on shit and tear easily but it doesn’t show wear easily.

The printed poly is a fucking nightmare in my experience. Within a few wears, the print starts to show like wear? Idk how to describe it, it’s not like loose threads or pulls. The actual print starts to look like it’s wearing off, almost like I took sandpaper to it or something. I’ve experienced this only with my poly dresses, and my mcd was totally fine. I use a Samsung smart cleaner to dry clean and handle all my expensive clothes and I take really good care of them but toy circus, Elisabeth unicorn, and milky are some of the ones I can think of off the top of my head that had this problem.

>>10533117
The Be My Valentine poly I think is great. It's sturdy and easy to wash. Idk if it was my bra but I felt the HC MTO was kind of are through

>>10533126
>The actual print starts to look like it’s wearing off

This is exactly what happened to my mto honey cake after about two months or so.

>>10533130
Ice cream parlor was also great poly. Had a nice thickness and texture but I’d kill for it on Burberry cotton.

>>10533132
What’s most frustrating about this is that this is the kind of thing I’d expect from a taobao print :/

>>10533126
>I use a Samsung smart cleaner to dry clean and handle all my expensive clothes
Real talk: is this worth it? I thought about snagging one on black Friday but chickened out cause I’d rather spend $1000 on burando.

>>10533132
Shit, thanks for mentioning all this gulls, now I know to never trust poly without getting thorough reviews from others and to just play it safe buying cotton MTOs unless I hear good things about a certain print on poly.

>>10533139
Do we know that SC is for sure cotton?

>>10533142
This...is a joke right? Please tell me this question is a joke?

>>10533138
I love mine desu. It was worth it for me because I’ve got some high fashion items I don’t trust my local cleaners to not fuck up. It has settings for fur, silks etc. and it’s really effective at sanitizing and cleaning without any risk of damaging shrinking or bleeding. I almost bought a second one since it can only handle 5 or so items at a time.

Man I know I'm just being impaitient, but I really wish I knew if my SS got the Milky Bear necklace. Hopefully I'll get a message tonight. I think I was one of the first requests they got for it because I was awake when the update dropped, but that doesn't mean much if the store didn't have many.

>>10532978
owning a dress doesn't make you special, retard

what is the most popular and unpopular colorway for sc?

Well this makes me super nervous. Why is Japan making it seem like there might be limits, but Paris and USA haven't mentioned any problems with caps? Why would Japan screw itself and not other countries?

>>10533259
I think most popular is sax and black, least popular is lavender and pink. But I could be wrong. I think at this point all colourways are popular, so just get whichever ones appeal to you.

>>10533268
I hope there are limits, so less people can make shitty coords.

>>10533268
It doesn't sound like it's limited to me, it just sounds like there hasn't been more info released yet?

>>10532719
>Anonymous
It looks cute and wearable. This would work better if you added a fitting waist belt or even a cardigan to hide the puffy fold. If you decided to keep it and not sell it, get it altered into this style. It's your clothes foremost and if it looks good, and you like it then go for it! You can even use the extras to make a bow or suspenders. If you decide to sell it later, you can do it even altered but knowing that you'll have to sell it at a reduced price which as long as you're okay with it, and got to wear your fill of it, then in my opinion is absolutely okay.

>>10532822
No youre sad because you're a helpless degenerate. Grow up and worry about your own size and clothes instead of someone else's. Fucktard

>>10532822
Boo hoo go hate inclusiveness somewhere where people don't have to pretend to tolerate your foul existence

>>10532824
Its an opportunity to teach and inform, use your wisdom and include the new people who you find like the same thing you do

>>10533304
Nayrt but wow. It's not anyone's job to foster new lolitas. It's nice to do I guess, but please don't expect people to guide others like they're doing community service or something.

>>10533309
Nayrt but also wow. Stop getting offended that anon suggested something nice to do for someone as an alternate for being a judgmental and mean spirited.

It's such a crime on cgl to actually try to be a decent person.

>>10533314
>It's such a crime on cgl to actually try to be a decent person.
You’re starting to get it anon

>>10533314
You sound simple

>>10533314
>as an alternate for being a judgmental and mean spirited
lolita is not for you lmao

>>10533314
Maybe this makes me a salty older lolita, but I just don't get the "be friends with everyone" vibe. When people online ask me where I get my clothes, I basically ignore them. It's not cause I hate them or anything, but I'm not about to baby them and spend my time teaching them the history of AP and how to stalk secondhand markets to get items, coord something, whatever. I'm not an ambassador for the fashion. Just because I have knowledge of something doesn't mean I have to exhaust myself teaching other people.

Obviously if I'm friends with someone, I'm more willing to help. But a random ita or stranger? No thanks.

>>10533378
>I'm not going to exhaust myself teaching someone else

How is giving someone a tip going to exhaust you lmao

>>10533378
Nayrt, I don't think anyone reasonable expects you to educate other lolitas, but it's also not normal to be a whiny crybaby like the "I thought I was special for having certain brand and now I realized I'm not because of MTOs" people upthread. There is a space in between the lolitas are all lovelies types and people like >>10533377 that assume everything about lolita has to be catty and cutthroat for no reason, and most lolitas are probably in that in between space.

>>10533379
I know this isn't true of every situation, but I've helped people before and they tend to remember that and come back to me when they have more questions. It gets tiring and becomes a "take" relationship, where they're the "taker." At that point I just stop if I'm not really friends with them.

>>10533382
>but it's also not normal to be a whiny crybaby like the "I thought I was special for having certain brand and now I realized I'm not because of MTOs"
I agree with this. I mainly just replied to the other anon because they made it sound like experienced lolitas owe wondering to others.

Mmmm I’m glad I managed to snag one so I don’t have to deal with this tomfoolery.

>>10533382
>but it's also not normal to be a whiny crybaby like the "I thought I was special for having certain brand and now I realized I'm not because of MTOs"
I agree with this. I mainly just replied to the other anon because they made it sound like experienced lolitas owe something to others.

>>10533389
It was literally a MTO anyone who had money managed to snag one

>>10533389
>fashion
weren't these like $80? And they literally can't even hold a phone right? They're the tiny size?

>>10533395
I think they were around 11,000 yen and $150 in the US? But yeah they are pretty small. Nowhere near the backback size. And definitely not worth over $300 with all the manufacturing errors that have been posted.

>>10533034
And keep in mind a blouse and bra is going to add a few more cm. Hoes be mad

>>10533379
Nayrt but I had it happen to me on Instagram mostly where "how do you find your clothes" questions have turned into whole 1-2h (or longer) conversations in my dms. Every time I think that I can finally end the convo, the newb asks me another damn question. It can become very tiring very quickly, so I understand where the other anon is coming from.

At least I can give a short answer when this happens irl and just walk away.

>>10533383
I stopped replying to random questions from noobs on FB for this exact reason. I'm tired of answering stupid questions every other day and the only time they'll speak to me is when they're begging for information.

>>10532962
Who is your SS? Can you not explain that the US MTO would be easier for you? A lot of SS i know would be understanding and give your spot to someone else

>>10533413
Yes, and so many people don't realize you SHOULD be at least a few cm smaller than the measurements listed, for it to fit right. If the measurement is like 90cm bust, it means you need to be smaller than that. If you would actually have a 90cm bust you probably could not even zip it up.

>>10533395
As far as I'm aware none of the AP plush bags can fit anything, it's basically just a glorified decoration.

>>10533430
Dolly Cat can fit a debit card and a wad of cash, maybe.

what dresses do you guys hope AP rereleases?

> milky planet
> marshmallow bunny
> memorial cake
> jewelry jelly
> more old solids and applique pieces

>>10533523
milky planet, I will buy every pastel colorway

>>10533523
Milky Planet, baby

>>10533523
-Marshmallow Bunny
-Pastel a la Mode
-Melty Berry Princess, Dessert Berry, Strawberry Whip (literally every cotton border berry print desu)
-Melt Chocolapin in new cuts (the OP is cute af and I know it was some sort of special set but it would be cool if AP what it did for older rereleases like milky planet and keep the originals distinct by changing elements of the dress/cut on the rerelease)

>>10533523
Milky Planet and Memorial Cake
I'm happy for the other people that really like Sugary Carnival and such but i'd rather pass and hope other things get a MTO

>>10533531
melt chocolapin was a collaboration so don't think it's ever going to get re-released unfortunately

>>10533523
Milky Planet and Pastel A La Mode are the most "in-line" with the 3 that are already getting re-released HOWEVER I would love for AP to take this opportunity to re-release Jewelry Jelly and print it correctly and release it how it was meant to be released in the first place

>>10533523
Seconding more old solids and applique pieces. I absolutely love their applique. My dream dress was Chocolat-chan and I got it this year. I really can't find Daydream Carnival in black, so I would be okay with a rerelease of that. I'm not sure how popular it is though. I won't be getting Nakayoshi Bunny because at the end of the day, I am scared of rabbits, despite them being beautiful applique.

>>10533536
It's surprising that they haven't done a re-release of Daydream Carnival, it was extremely popular upon release (I still remember the butthurt from the girls that weren't able to get it). I thought for sure a re-release was coming when they came out with those DDC pouches and plates.

>>10533523
I'd root for applique pieces, really hope NB sets the trend for these. Other than that I'd like to see some proper MTO for MRC that includes ubercolorway and accessories.

>>10533540
> I thought for sure a re-release was coming when they came out with those DDC pouches and plates.

So much this! I remeber seeing these pouches with DDC and Wrapping Cherry prints, so I though they would do DDC, plus WC as an annual berry print, but that was it.

>>10533536
>I am scared of rabbits
What

>>10533523
I wish they'd re-release Strawberry Millefeuille. It's such a pretty classic + fits their tradition of making starwberry dresses for summer collections.

>>10533557
I own and love it so much. Honestly if they rereleased every strawberry print that hasn't gotten one yet I'd buy every last one...I have so many but strawberries are my top favorite lolita motif/theme. I'd exclusively buy strawberry print AB and BABY dresses if the cotton ones were easier to get ahold of secondhand in pink colorways.

>>10533546
Off topic but I held one and it peed down my chest when I was like 15. It wasn't a ~pet rabbit~ it was a farm rabbit. Definitely a personal issue I need to work thru with a nicer rabbit. Anyways, Angelic Pretty applique pls.

>>10533395
11,800 + tax + shipping on AP JPN + SS fees if you used one, or $149 + shipping on AP USA.

They are actually a nice size, not too big nor too small, and really cute.

Worth $300? Fuck no.

>>10533523
Very unlikely but I’d love to see fruity cafe
Also if we get milky planet it better be the original cut. Fuck the rerelease.

>>10533575
what i wouldn't give for AP to release the lavender and navy milky planet in the original cut

>>10533578
>what is the lavender special set
Newfags should lurk more before posting.

>>10533580
congrats on being retarded, >>10533578
specifically mentions the original cut. the lavender special set is an entirely different cut from the original release where it trades MP's famously adored scallops for a huge boring chest bow

>>10533575
I'll try not to cut myself with that edge, but imo rerelease cut was cute in it's own way. I feel like Fancy Candy would look actually fancier if they'd recycle that design in full with these cute bows on pockets. Although I like first release better for MP. Basically cut + color is the only thing I like about this dress since the print is not really my cup of tea.

>>10533523
Milky Planet feels long overdue now, considering it was going for just as much as Sugary Carnival. So I have my fingers crossed.
Memorial Cake would be fantastic. Every one I see is faded to hell and back.
Too many solids to count.
Milky-Chan the Fawn.
>>10533559
Please no. There's so many strawberry/berry related dresses already and they basically put out a new one every year. I really don't need AP re-releasing a bunch of red. Sorry, I just... can't with red.

>>10533523
Milky Planet in black. I don't care about the cut or the fabric, I'll get it modified if I have to. Just please give me MP in black that isn't faded and worn all to hell.

My other dreams
>Lovely Girl set
>Pop'nRock set
>Candy Treat
>French Dot
>Macaron Tartan (AP, pleeeease)
>French Cafe

And I'd love to see rereleases of some of the old printed cutsews. Or even some new cutsews in a similar style.

>>10533523
Be My Valentine as St Valentines Day special

>>10533598
I want the pink colorways so bad. I can never seem to find them.

I think the newer berry dresses suck because poly but also the designs are not as nice as the detailed border prints. Just because you dislike red doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer.

>>10533598
>Sorry, I just... can't with red.
Sounds like a you problem

This thread is becoming a glorified Post Your Wishlist. Take it to WTB or DD, most of these dresses will never be re-released.

>>10533605
unbeliever

>>10533602
Yes please and bring back the sax, I want the sax OP so bad

>>10533605
that's what was said about all three dresses that are currently getting re-released as MTOs. we're living in a magical time where anything can happen - why not let us dream?

this board is slow, we're barely halfway into being autosaged, I don't think the 10 of us posting what we hope to be rereleased is causing any issues

>>10533605
People are just spending mid-release time. Offer some other topic you like better.

>>10533605
Hey man, at least we're not screaming about AP rereleasing the pony bags.

>>10533523
Milky planet (the scalloped round collar), Milky-chan, decoration dream, id love to see the switching version of honey cake, vanilla chan, and even though its not 2010 sweet, a proper melty ribbon chocolate release.

>>10533523
- Osanpo Candy-chan. I would lose my mind.
- Chocolat-chan applique, Milky Fawn applique, basically just applique!
- Dollhouse. It's so pretty, especially the JSK!

These won't happen, maybe the appliques but I can dream.

>>10533630
Good taste, I’d kill for any of those. I have mad regrets about selling my Dollhouse jsk when I took a break from lolita years ago.

>>10533633
Thanks! I bet, it's such a cute print and cuts, plus the fabric is so nice. We can hope!

>>10533523

Prints I want re-released
>Milky Planet original release. I really want the yellow JSK
-Milky Fawn but this time they include the red colorway from the Japan Expo fashion show
-Miracle Candy
-Cherry Berry Bunny
-Fruits Parlor
-Dreaming Macaron on new fabric, the original has aged really poorly

non-prints
-twirling ribbon OP
-soap bubbles
-Dream Doll
-Romantic Frill

>>10533583
>>10533580
The lavender special set and lavender rerelease are also totally different shades of lavender. The rerelease is a much cooler shade.

>>10533523
>Classic Melody or Fancy Melody
>any solids with bunny/ heart shaped pockets

And hopefully in cuts with full back shirring so my cowtits will fit pls

>>10533605
There was just a discussion on the girlism weibo page asking for re-releases and many dresses named in this thread were mentioned there too. If the chinese community is demanding it, theres a huge chance these will be rereleased

https://weibo.com/5561876124/JyHbtsCPK?type=repost&ssl_rnd=1608097642.3939#_rnd1608260607046

>>10533623
>even though its not 2010 sweet

How would you call this post-2010-sweet-pre-larme-esque era? It still feels sweet, but not that pastel sweet.

>>10533706
There is 2010 sweet that isn't pastels.

I basically would not be bothered at all if AP took an entire year or two and just did pure rereleases. Dresses, socks, accessories, everything. It would be better than anything they've done in the past 3 or 4 years. I can dream.

>>10533714
yes but sugary carnival and milky planet come to mind when you think of that era more than milky fawn does.

>>10533702
It must really suck to be a brand where your fan base is telling you that the only things they want are what you did in the past lol

>>10533720
Not for me personally, but also even if that was the case it doesn't negate the fact that pastel is not an accurate descriptor for all 2010 sweet.

>>10533722
They only have themselves to blame if they can't release new compelling releases.

>>10533725
They have proven they can make popular new items like ICP and those newer dresses from the fashion show like the bear chocolate and berry print seemed nice, but then they put it on poly without it being purposeful and make nice dresses less nice.

>>10533702
>tokimeki bunny and sugar whatever are both on there
Damn so that must be why they’re rereleasing those

>>10533630
I want Vanilla-chan applique so she can be friends with my Chocolat-chan. When Chocolat does pop up it is usually under $200! : ) I finally found the socks.

>>10533727
despite what cgl thinks, i dont think poly is seen as a bad thing in japan or china.

>>10533727
>>10533735
On one hand, China wanting all these cotton prints releases might suggest they prefer cotton, but it's hard to say if they just want the dresses because of their print/design or if they want the cotton dresses specifically (or both).

>>10533727
Toy Doll Box is comparatively recent print, and it actually turned out pretty nice too. I’d say they have several good releases per year.

>>10533722
idk if you're into couture at all, but even with that level of fashion people still have a lot of love for older collections and runway shows. When designers call back to previous iconic looks, or do rereleases, there's a ton of hype. That's normal for all fashion brands but especially those where the garments have very distinctive features (like prints).

AP has been around long enough that their designers understand this. Many of their current releases will be just as iconic in 10 years as SC or MP are today.

>>10533523
Milky Planet for sure. MP > Sugary Carnival, I don't usually wear AP style sweet but MP is their nicest looking golden age release overall, IMO

>>10533578
Big same, navy is the only color I would go for but I hated the stripe trim on the second release. But the special set cut is my favorite cut.

>>10533745
>Many of their current releases will be just as iconic in 10 years as SC or MP are today.
Laughs in toy museum

>>10533745
>Many of their current releases will be just as iconic in 10 years as SC or MP are today.
Please kill me if this becomes true. I don't want to see Girly Stonker go for $2k.

In 10 years, people will reminisce over "2020s Sweet AP". Which dresses from the last couple of years will become iconic? Place your bets now and see if you can collect in a decade.

>>10533786
Toy Doll Box
Suyasuya Toys
Ice Cream Parlor
Neon Star Diner

>>10533786
Toy Doll Box
Magic Princess
Topping Heart
And that's honestly all I got.

>>10533786
Space prints will probably have a come back in a couple years or so and start going for a decent amount of money

>>10533536
>>10533546

>>10533786
Fruity Lemon
Be My Valentine
Fancy Candy

And if we include 2017,
Fancy Hospital
Ribbon Berry Bunny
Halloween Treats

>>10533786
Fancy candy, neon star diner, milkshake
i can see their retro style/inspired pieces going for a lot

>>10533819
Neon star diner is on the winter sale rn

>>10533819
Oh I'm stupid I didn't see this was response to will it be popular later. Geez.

>>10533764
I have the OP milky planet with the stripe trim and absolutely adore it. It adds just enough visual interest and thematically it looks so cute next to SC. Can't wait for the SC rerelease!!! Mp/Sc are the dream dresses which got me into lolita in the first place!? Here I am 10 years later, making 14 year old me SO proud

>>10533823
Honey cake was in a sale in it's time.
Same with that Magic Princess dress that's going for a bit now.
Same with most of AP's Halloween prints.

>>10533764
I liked the stripe trim with the pastels, but it looks weird with the navy, brings too much white in. They should have made the stripes pink & navy instead of white & navy. And the cut of the JSK is a bit weird. I own the navy rerelease JSK and I like it, but it’s not as good as it could be.

>>10533839
I feel like Magic Princess was slept on hardcore by the OTT sweet lolitas.

>>10534000
Magic Princess was my first dress and I bought it directly from AP. A couple people said they didn't like it because it was "clip-arty," but I always really liked it. Maybe the cuts were too weird? I only like the napoleon jsk.

>>10533695
I'm a slut for milky chan/fawn and I haven't ever seen this red one before. omg why can't we have nice things like this AP?

>>10534040
if ya ain't a chinese lolita they dun give a f about u

Paris just restocked 5 Honey Cake rings. I hope some non-vips get them.

>>10534048
Got one! Thanks for the heads up!

I went past new collection again and realised that one of Moko moko Bunnys headdresses is actually a beret with bunny ears. Idk man, they look so plain there compared with what they did before.

>inb4 that's cat beret

Technically it is, but it kinda works for bunny theme, plus ears have more volume to them.

Is this Paris or USA. It's a little more than USA normally charges it seems. Maybe the poly dresses aren't popular enough to subsidize the cotton MTOs anymore?

AP Paris prices

>>10534328
Nice. It'll be like 60 or so cheaper for me than if I'd ordered everything I want from Paris.

>>10534342
If that's the only price difference, and you don't have VIP status at Paris yet, I recommend going with Paris so you can be the first to cop any new more limited stock later

>>10534328
Is it me, or do those stoc pics look like poly? Especially on the JSK.

>>10533428
I'm not sure. I've been using my SS for years and I feel like I can't back out, due to respect for them. They also say in general any request is official and changing is not allowed. I'm sure they have tons of people emailing and wanting to back out right now too...

If everything goes smoothly, using them means paying less than the USA MTO, but I'm still freaked out that both Paris and US say there's isn't a lottery. I thought, if anything, Paris and US would be a lottery and Japan would be a done deal. I really wish the dates for the US MTO were later so I'd have a safety net.

>>10534357
I was just thinking the same thing. That's a LOT of shine on the skirt portions.

>>10534360
I mean you could order both. HoneyCake was an MTO and there as still a ton of money to be made selling them after the fact.

>>10534360

Everything in Japan is always a lottery; this is the same as every other MTO all 3 stores got, like FPS; it's a lottery in Japan but everyone gets their items so long as it's below production cap, and then in Paris and USA there is no lottery but I guess they'd shut it down if they hit the production caps.

>>10534357
>>10534362
Ap already said that it will be cotton, plus there doesn't seem to be any shine in the staff pictures

>>10534363
I thought about ordering the OPs as backup from the US, now that I don't have 100% certainty. I guess I could also hope that maybe AP USA gets leftover stock in October and be lucky enough to snatch it up. I'm guessing that stock will go fast though.

>>10534364
I definitely want to trust this, and maybe I'll see this round if I get burned or not, to decide what I'll do for Nakayoshi Bunny and Candy Fairy. There's no guarantee the US gets those too actually (even though chances are high.) I just really hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot.

>>10534328
what's the reservation date?

>>10534328
30 dresses per household??!!

>>10534368
Just order extras. If it's anything like HC you'll def get retail for them at least. If you miss out you'll probably have to pay scalper prices.

>>10534367
>Ap already said that it will be cotton, plus there doesn't seem to be any shine in the staff pictures

Where did they confirm it? The black didnt have shine in the stoc photos either, but the texture of the fabric looks off. Maybe its just a cotton sateen?

>>10534367
Who tf coorded this lmao it looks terrible

>>10534376
They confirmed it during the tea party in person

>>10534376
It was said during the tea party, I don't know if anyone has a recording of it or not

>>10534372
AP going for those scalper buxx

>>10534337
Weird, I haven't gotten anything. It says I'm signed up for the newsletter and I know they have the right email...

>>10534374
I know I'm being hesitant/difficult, but if I order dupicates of everything I want, it's almost an extra $1k after tax. I don't know if I want that much extra stuff just hanging around because (I'm going to sound crazy) I really don't like doing online sales. I'd be waiting for in-person meets to happen again. I've just read too many horror stories from sellers about buyers.

>>10534378
Ap shop girls sometimes like to get a little too creative

>>10534387
http://www.angelicpretty-usa.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=conditions

>We often get a email inquring if we will stock an upcoming print, or one that have recenly been released in Japan. The answer is yes, we do and we will carry every single current and upcoming exclusive print collections. Please follow our press release in our news section or our blogs for details of each release.

In case you needed further confirmation AP USA will get other MTOs and releases in the future

>>10534388
That's definitely a cotton sateen or a sateen blend looking at the waft in this close up. Print quality should be great, but it might bleed.

>>10534391
That looks an awful lot like their thick woven poly to me. It's probably a sample, but I'm a *bit* sus

Sizing issues aside, do you guys like the JSK or the OP more? Also, which cut is more popular overall?

>>10534392
They have some cotton pieces with slight sheen in some lighting like CCS in good condition, and Meta has some light cottons with a bit of a sheen as well. They literally confirmed it's cotton, why would they lie when most of you thirsty hoes are going to buy it anyway?

>>10534387
I've been selling lolita stuff for 10 years. I think bad buyers comes down to bad luck.

Also gulls are fucking crazy and I'd never knowingly sell to any of you bitches. A few threads ago in the secondhand sales thread a bunch of you were bitching about sellers shipping stuff in shoeboxes because it's not proper or some shit. Meanwhile I recently sent a package internationally in a shoebox and had the buyer specifically mention how the item was so well packaged, and I've been using spare shoeboxes and shipping boxes for the past decade. Never once had a complaint.

>>10534392
The thread count/density is what gives me pause. That's pretty unusual. I own the 2008 and 2011 release and the waft is much wider, as are all of my cotton AP dresses.


The diagonal orientation also strikes me as odd. I'll def be reading the details on the MTO page, I'll probably still order it, but def not in every cut I had planned to

please stop poly sperging, it's cotton, they confirmed it was cotton, stop playing "guess the material" with filtered IG photos when AP themselves said its cotton.

>>10534394
JSKs are always more popular if ur tryna make a buck off this, but the OP is more fatty friendly so idk for this one.

JSKs are more flexible, but OPs are easier to just put on and go. Contrary to that god awful AP Harajuku coord, it's pretty rare to wear a blouse with an OP

>>10534390
AP USA didn't get the Cinema Doll MTO that was paired with the Cat's Tea Party one in Japan.

>>10534398
They've confirmed it's cotton when its on the order page anon.

>>10534400
Haha I should have specified I'm not trying to scalp, I'm just having trouble deciding which cut to get since I'm very indecisive.

>>10534400
>it's pretty rare to wear a blouse with an OP
only nowadays, it was extremely common pre-2014

>>10534402
I'll believe it when they announce that they've got Nakayoshi etc. Hopefully it'll be before you have to decide to buy abroad.

>>10534328
And I still haven't decided what cut I want

>>10534404
yeah exactly, it's cotton, people like >>10534392 and >>10534376 need to stop panic posting about the possibility of poly

>>10534406
no shit, what do you want a cookie?

>>10534394
i like jsks more in general since i'm a giraffe

>>10534410
Why? It's not been confirmed on anything other than a conference call over zoom, and those stock photos are sus af.

>>10534409
Same here anon. I also can't decide on a single color. I can almost see myself buying the entire series at this point lmao.

>$110 for a headbow
I hope Dreamy Baby Room is next for an MTO.

>>10534413
>conference call over zoom
yeah, a conference call, with AP confirming it themselves, which I'm going to trust more than 2 grainy photos on Instagram. They look like cotton to me in the stock images, the headbows look exactly like all my other cotton headbows, there has been zero indication that these will be anything other than cotton.

>>10534414
Same! Like I'm so torn between pink and blue because the pink is a little washed out and the blue is beautiful but I've been advised that that color won't suit me, so if I get the pink JSK I could pair it with blue and it would be cute? But every time I see a coord with the OP all of that goes out the window because the OP is so charming. I'm literally losing my mind over this

>everyone else: can't decide what color I want!!!1
>me, a pinkfag: pic related

>>10534413
not sure if you're trolling at this point. It's cotton. Look at how the dress lays and folds. Look at the pictures with the models. It's obvious.

>>10534415
Same. I need the matching bow for my jsk but I'm not about to pay $110 for it when I already have a non print pink bow that looks cute with it.

Also I'd love to be able to buy the salopette without worrying some nasty adult baby pissed themselves while wearing it.

>>10534415
>related
thanks poorfag anon, I've been looking for that

>>10534417
I'm happy I have enough money to just get both/all/any.

>>10534413
There is no poly conspiracy. I wish the rerelease was poly just to spite people like you

>>10534418
I love pink as a color but AP's pink colorways are usually the last one I gravitate towards, they make the prints look so washed out.

>>10534415
Only if ap are based enough to include the salopette, they stabbed me in the heart not including the skirt in this sc mto

>>10534422
>poorfag
I have the headbow already. In three colors actually. I just haven't been able to find the pink dress in good condition anywhere. I have the sax and yellow jsks already.

Thanks for flinging your big money dick around though. That listing didn't even have stock photos.

>>10534427
In photos the pinks always look awful but irl when new or good condition AP pinks have always been a nice shade for my preferences on most prints.

>>10534428
I feel like they would include it considering how many new releases have salo cuts. Also they have rereleased the salos with every rerelease that originally had a salo cut. Keep your hopes up anon!

>>10534424
I don't mind poly unironically, but only if they use a durable one like in ICP

>>10534415
i hate the print of DBR but the cut of the jsk and the star brooch are so fucking cute i'd be tempted to get it anyways

>>10534409
I've finally decided on the JSK. I was really hoping for a skirt, but no luck.
The OP is so charming though. Good luck on your decision making anon!

>>10534424
At this point, I hope every single release is poly just to witness the freak out from the handful of cotton autists here.

>>10534434
I used to hate the print bc of the ageplay meme but when you look at it up close, it's truly adorable. Even has bubbles. So cute.

>>10534417
Hmm well I don't know what you look like so I can't say what suits you or not but I don't think it's worth getting something that might look better on you that you're not passionate about... I think the sax OP is divine as well so I'm a bit biased towards telling you to get it haha. I hope you'll be happy with whatever you choose in the end though!
The OP design in general is super iconic imo but the JSK seems more versatile. Does anyone have any good coord pics of the SC OP being worn with a long blouse underneath? Besides this one that is >>10534367

>>10534439
It barely looks much different than most other AP prints and uses a lot of the same motifs, but the name is what puts people off more than anything. Idc though, I'd rather have a cute dress than let someone who's cringe enough to call their partner mommy or daddy during sex stop me from wearing a print I want.

>>10534429
Sure jan

>>10534415
They did re-release the necklace recently, so there is a chance

>>10534431
Thank god, ap take my money plz, the front even detaches to make it into a mini skirt

>>10534439
The dbr print has always gotten too much hate, the balloons are super cute, I love the bunny coming out of its pram, and desu I enjoy the baby toys, it makes me think of what cute things I'll be able to spoil my future child with

>>10534000
I’m one of those lolitas, I took a good look at it on Lolibrary the other day and ended up buying the pink OP off of LM lmao

>>10534394
I wasn't a big fan of the OP and was going to order the black and pink JSKs, but after seeing this I immediately changed my mind and decided to get the OP instead. I've always been a slut for blouses under OPs.

>>10533585
I guess it's an unpopular opinion but I love this cut so much more than the original. The striped scalloped top reminds me of a cafe awning and the big wide pockets are awesome. I think the solid color collar on the OG is awkward looking desu

>>10534439
ayrt, it's definitely cute but i just don't really like the particular "baby" elements in it like the baby bottle and letter blocks. i'm just not a huge toy print fan personally

>>10534415
>>10534447
Didn't they do a re-release or an MTO for the yellow colorway recently? China adores this print so theres a chance it could come out again

>>10534447
They did a release because one of the Chinese stores got an rerelease of it a while back

>>10534449
Blouse under puff sleeve op is a timeless lolita look

>>10534437
Thank you ;_; I am so happy for you

>>10534442
Thank you! And I guess if I end up hating it I could trade someone? I think I definitely want the blue jsk aaaaaahhhhHHHHHHH

Decided I’m getting the jsk but not sure what color
I already have the op in pink so maybe lav or sax
Both colors I really like

>>10534394
Going for the op, the jsk's cut is just too plain for the print imo.

Ok can someone post hi quality pics of the ops, jsks, etc for reference? And maybe some inspo for coords? I'm dying because I can't decide which cut OR color. I'm thinking sax op or lavender jsk!?!

>>10534797
Just google it, you lazy indecisive whore

>>10534797
Are you seriously asking people to post high res pictures and coordinate ideas for the most popular dress AP has ever made...? I'm sure you can do that on your own ffs

>>10534797
Maybe try Instagram for coord pics

>>10534824
she can also just type in "sugary carnival" on google.

>>10534797
I'm dying. You need inspiration for one of the most popular and iconic prints of all time? Are you the same person who posts that you got your dream dress and asks everyone else to come up with coords for it?

>>10534797
>she doesn't know about google

>>10534797
>not getting multiple colorways and cuts

>>10534886
you mean all, right?

>>10534886
I'm only getting the jsk because the OP will look like a tent on me.

>>10534797
omg like haev u tried Google or Insta??// RaWr xD

How long does ap jp usually take to ship their orders? It's been a week since I made mine and still on preparing for shipment, I just want my items sitting at my ss address already
>tfw my dress from murica arrived before ap can ship my order

>>10534915
God, not this skinny larping again

I emailed AP to ask if they were thinking about doing an online reservation, and they're undecided. So if you're really set on this, then defo SS it or go through Paris or US, cause there's a chance it won't be on the JP website.

>>10535135
A week sounds about right, I got some stuff from the winter sale and it arrived at my ss just today

>>10535142
Nice larping, AP barely ever responds to general questions and it’s not very japanese to give unhelpful answers like „We‘re undecided“.

>>10535138
??? I have a 78 cm bust, friend.

>>10535160

Nayrt, but if the OP has back corset lacing and full back shirring that hasn't been stretched out yet, I fail to see how it would ever be too big or tent like on anyone besides a dwarf or child considering it fits Risa decently.

I was having a discussion with my friend the other day, she was insisting that Puppet Circus is still a most wanted item and AP should re-release it. While I think it's not as popular as it used to be and almost everyone who wanted it got it already. I also don't see it mentioned in any wtbs anymore and the sale prices did drop too.

What is your take on this? Is Puppet Circus still a thing? Which cut and colour is the most popular?

>>10535201
As for me personally, the condition most dresses tend to be in now isn't worth the prices they command. That said, I think it makes more sense to shell out that money for the quality of PC than for the cotton sweet prints that are nearing these crazy prices now.

I think the black and OP cut is still the most popular, though, then maybe red or ivory, and pink has always been dead last.

>>10535201
Puppet Circus is still a status piece but the passing of time has degraded the dresses that are still out there, a damaged sugary carnival is easier to fix than a damaged puppet circus

Wouldn't say it's still a "most wanted" item esp now with 2010 sweet coming back in full force but it's still a dress that commands respect

>>10535208
I’m also curious about condition of these. I keep reading these sales posts where people say they look really good for their age. Idk if this print really withstand the test of time or these are just luckily preserved gems. Don’t forget that this dress can’t be just thrown into the washer, some people don’t even try hand wash out of fear to ruin the print.
Another thing is that AP seems having difficult relationship with velvet, so if they actually do rerelease it might be Horror Garden kind of print, idk how’d I feel about that.

>>10535154
Why the fuck would I lie about that. I speak Japanese and emailed them and they replied.
Don't get angry just cause AP cares about me.

>>10535221
That’s still a rare thing, so why didn’t you post this in the first place

>>10535236
she's lying.

>>10535236
Cause I wasn't planning on getting called a larper so I didn't see the point.

>>10535243
Just cause you can't speak moon runes doesn't mean you have to take it out on me.

>>10535154
Lmao you clearly don’t know shit about Japanese language/culture. In Japanese getting a straight answer out of anyone is extremely rare. It’s always “I think” or “we’re not decided but probably x”. It’s considered impolite to state something as a fact, especially when you’re speaking to a customer or someone of higher position. For example, when I called and asked about store hours they will always say “I think from 8am to 8pm”.

>>10535154
>it’s not very japanese to give unhelpful answers
Unhelpful answers is the most Japanese thing in the world anon.
