How many of you were able to get the new Halloween print? Which cut and color?

The winter look book should be out any week now. What are you hoping AP revives? What type of new prints/solids do you want to see?

I'm hoping there's more Halloween related items than what's left in the lookbook (jewelry).

These are the dresses we have left in the lookbook, so I'm not really feeling hopeful there'll be much that'll appeal to me for the rest of the year.

I know no one probably cares, but I got the Dreamy Baby Room MTO today, and the brooch on the headbow is noticeably smaller (left is MTO, right is original). From tip to tip, without lace, it's .4 cm smaller. I was a little sad it results in the embroidery being partially covered by the rick rack trim.

I think it's more noticeable in real life, because as soon as I opened my box, I knew it was smaller (compared to my original sax and yellow colorways).
It's not a big deal. I just figured I'd let people know if they wanted a way to tell the MTO headbow apart. I guess it's also possible that I got a edge case from poor QC, because that's definitely a thing lately with AP.

there's actually a unit for that, its called millimeters

>> No.10810189

>>10810151
I think more significantly it looks like it’s the embroidery size that’s the problem. It’s a larger embroidery making the star look too small because they didn’t leave enough fabric for the rick rack. The embroidery is smaller on the right.

What the fuck are these prices?
40,480 yen for the jsk, 47,080 for the op?? If they were sets or had detailed embellishments or fabrics I'd understand, but it's the same old simple cuts and shitty polyester. The Chocolate Teatime op is 39,380 and it doesn't even come with the apron.

I'm apparently dumb too because I hadn't noticed this high of a jump in prices because I very rarely buy any nu AP, but it does make sense with how weak the yen is.

~40,000 yen is about $275 right now. Which is great for USD, but AP USA prices don't really reflect conversion rates. They probably pay a lot of customs when they get their big boxes of stuff from Japan, so the items are listed as more expensive to compensate. I'm not thrilled about seeing $400 JSKs soon. Even more of us will be relying on SS to get an actual good price that doesn't feel like a rip off.

>> No.10811662

>>10811661
The release from yesterday was the start of prices going slightly up for some items. (The coats were about 15% higher than last year.)

You should be fine if you ordered the jewelry and there's still stock left online. Usually when the site crashes, you probably won't get a confirmation until they ship your items, or just late into the night.

it’s not just that the OP is big - the raised waistline in combination with the skirt length creates an appearance of a straight torso with no curves. the petti’s volume plus the lack of cinched waist in the silhouette appears to add twenty pounds to risa’s figure.

to be fair, this may just be her height, as the hemline hitting below the knee adds additional awkwardness. this OP might look alright on tallitas, but it’s still far from flattering. i too am a nu-sweet disliker, but i have a special hatred for cuts like this that make the wearer look heavier. i’m not a fan of sack dresses either for this reason. galaxy cocktail is not my taste, but at least the silhouette is slimming and flattering.

The 4chan mods are gaining energy and aren't deleting this post.

Listen, things might be pretty bad for the females in this place.

I'm apparently God's son and I'm inviting you to participate.

If you need time, we all did. Just write this down.

"My aura is altering my penis to start a waifu train (hell) in accordance with God's desires." You can specify if you want them releasable or not. You can also specify if you want them taken from your "personal well" (of consciousness sparks) and various preferences for them. Note that doing this, and especially locking them in, has a strong element of evil from most points of view.

If you do it, I'll move to protect your mom, sisters, daughters, wives.

There might be a war going on and people on both sides would view the act in different ways. I think it's a phony war though, I think I really am God's son. But there's a risk, I'm just telling you. This place has a funky way of dealing with the idea of God, so even though we try to circumvent this, none of us can be totally sure that is actually God.

Girls should do the same thing (whole body, vagoo, or tits) and seek a husbando if they desire safety.

In the circumstance that there really is a war, the Forces of Good are open for business, just alter all aspects of your being to emit unlimited positive % energies into the world. Go here for more information: svsfjW1s That's a p a st e bi n link.

This mantra will make you immortal, imagine bio-electricity as a vitalizing force coursing through your body.

Repeat this mantra
"Empower me.
I am becoming more powerful.
The rate that I passively gain Bio-Electricity is improving."

And this one: "My aura is inducing the (rapid) growth of the total size of my penis."

While if does seem that she will be in Japan, she may also be referring to having a shopping service or someone in Japan go pick it up in the store, the way she worded it makes it hard to tell though because it’s worded so weirdly.

What wasn’t worded weirdly was the fact that this “may be the first time” she can afford one. Referring to the lucky pack. Which, yes, is pretty fucking poor because lucky packs are cheap for lolita. Even the more expensive AP ones are around 50000yen, or approximately $350 which is less than a dress, headbow and socks new from AP. And considering that it’s all stuff that they couldn’t sell, it would be stupid to buy one unless you are fine with getting ugly shit.

Also, to the original anon asking, no you can’t just go buy one in store before Christmas, because they are sold for New Years. You need to line up at the crack of dawn to get one on New Years Day (unless they switched to lotteries, but you’d still have to be there on New Years). The only other time they might have them is Laforet Grand Bazaar but that’s the end of January-ish so even farther from Christmas. If you’ll only be in Japan before Christmas you are SOL as far as lucky packs.

Stolen from Rufflechat on FB, but this just increases my hate for Lacy Heart and AP's shit-tier releases.

This heart looks like it's a knock off dress and should have never made it passed QC. I have a good handful of "defective" AP items of my own, but I feel like this is one of the worst examples I've seen lately. I know old AP isn't perfect either, but jesus christ.

Imagine paying 600 for that shit when 270 gets you pic related (370 the full set).

I've been in lolita for a decade but I could never wrap my head around how bitches pay for jap tat with their ridiculous prices. What are you paying for? Quality? Then you come here and all you see are bitches complaining about uninspired designs, shit quality and constant milking. Heck, even when I look for inspiration to make my own stuff I have to turn to China for inspiration as the "burandos" seem to be in a constant loop of the same regurgitated crap.

Granted, clolita, taobao and the whole ecosystem are very treacherous waters that have to be approached with caution. But once you take the clolita pill there's no coming back.

Well, for one, this isn’t lolita, it looks more like cosplay. It’s a ballgown. So your comparison is moot.
Most people like Japanese brand for the designs and the prints. Admittedly, Rose Tassel is an ugly print, hence why it didn’t sell out. While there are decent items available from taobao if you know what to look for, a lot of their items miss the mark design wise and the quality is hit or miss. While AP quality has gone down quite a bit in recent years (supposedly, I don’t have any recent releases to compare but I’ve seen a lot of people mention it), other brands like Baby have consistently high quality that taobao doesn’t compare with.
You sound like a lolita at heart who has not actually been in the fashion for a decade, because a decade ago AP actually had good designs and quality.

Rocking horse shoes aren’t uncomfortable unless you’re wearing the wrong size, and I’m tenderfooted as hell, so I’m assuming you’re a larping dumbass who hasn’t worn any lolita shoes to begin with. It’s hard to tell the difference in height between the toe and the heel on these weird bubble soles, but it looks pretty small, maybe slightly higher than regular tea party shoes. They probably won’t be too uncomfortable unless the difference in height between heel and toe is bigger than it looks like.

I don't know about that honestly. Sure, they're still making a profit just because clothes have a large markup, but things are noticeably slowing down.
It's definitely different from 2020 when every shit release was still selling out. Now AP can't even get scalpers to care. Everyone is burnt out on lackluster releases after we got a good whiff of old MTOs (which I think the majority of us are here for.)
