That print is too sweet for my taste, but I've always loved the cut

ill never get my hands on that dress
hurts so much

All time favourite

one day ;_;

We will meet once more, my love

I know, it's very simple. It's not a very intricate, unique or visually stunning piece as far as print or design/cut, but I just love it.

why can't this picture be mine

>>6815289
PERFECTION JUST BLESSED YOU ALL WITH IT'S PRESENCE.

BOW DOWN BITCHES.

>>6815320
Anon, I feel you. This is probably the only print I've ever seen that I love/want to own every single cut and colorway. Every. Single. One.

This one is so, so goddamn gorgeous in real life. I liked it more once I had it in-hand, which is a rarity for me.

And best sweet print ever.

The more I look at it, the more genius it gets

>>6815463
Shut your whore mouth!

I want it too...in mint.

>>6815284
>>6815290
>>6815385
>>6815392
>>6815463
These so much
Plus Swan Lake

>>6815469
I want it in all the colours, and cuts, and the matching accessories
;_;

>>6815289
My friend has this skirt in pink and she let me try it on. Oh god, it's lovely. She's selling it and I'm thinking about getting it

I love this one so much. I'm not sure whether it's just because it was popular when I first got into lolita, but who cares, it makes me happy looking at it.

>>6815469
Don't be so tsundere anon, we can be twins in the future

>>6815482
You too, Honey Cake anon

>>6815489
I have the JSK. It's perfect, holla at your girl, we'll twin.

>>6815320
The first time I went out wearing lolita, I saw a girl with this dress at the mall.

I went full derp.

>>6815463
Want this in pink so bad! Although I can't get behind the OP.

>>6815495
Aight gurl, I'll hit chu up.

Forever and always. It reminds me of the Vampire Hunter D illustrations, and I love the gorgeous gates around the bottom. Perfect print, perfect colors, etc. I've never liked another print as much as this one.

Adding another one, because I love me some Meta.

i want these so badly

>>6815489
CAN SHE SELL IT TO ME INSTEAD

>>6815463
i have the other version OP in yellow - fucking perfection

>>6815246
SO IS DOL DOING A REPLICA OR WHAT. because i've basically given up on owning the real thing

>>6815499
I have the pink OP, it's fucking adorable. Seriously, saw it in person and kinda...went broke in the space of 2 minutes.

hnnnnged hard everytime

>>6816196
Well derp. I might have to save up since the OP seems to go for the most.

>>6816254
I want the flocky rose dress that came in a similar cut to this one. I saw it once on Closet Child, it was already sold. I have yet to find it again. I just keep coming across the fucking ugly babydoll piece they made.

it's a really underrated print and it wasn't very popular but I love the Etoile Twins jsk. I just adore it.

The lavender colorway doesnt look that impressive in photos but in person its just gorgeous. Love it to death. The details really make it special.

>>6816402
Got any pics of it worn?

>>6816404
Not any good ones, sorry. I took a few at a meet but my hair was kind of a mess.

My coord for it is pretty simple though, I found a matching chiffon headbow at a cheap accessory shop the day I wore it to a meet, so I was pretty happy. The print is really elegant and the dress is detailed so I didn't want to overwhelm it with accessories.

Maybe I should take some coord pics tomorrow. It's getting late now.

>>6816410
No problem, I just thought the stock photos made it look really washed out, I'll have a google.

>>6816420
The stock photos do make it look washed out! I'm glad I trusted my gut though, when I got it I was so happy.

I do have one picture that shows some of the print better. Camera quality kind of sucks and I just threw it on for a picture of the hair accessories with the jsk, and I edited out the background, but you can tell that the print is much more apparent in person.

>>6816432
Cool, thanks! Google images returned nothing. I'd love to do a hime coord with it someday.

>>6816440
That's a great idea! A friend of mine made a pink leather crown with a rose on top, I think it would go perfectly with this coord if I tried to go hime with it.

>>6816465
I'd just love to go all out on the ballet-princess thing, tiara, ballet-style shoes, full-length gloves, yeah..I might just come back with a sample coord!

>>6816479
oh my god please make a coord! I'd love to see it! :)
I have some dark pink tea parties that I think would go well with it. the crossed straps are really cute, and I have the matching lavender otks. I also have tons of pink flowers and I made some clips out of them. This might be the coord I wear to an upcoming con, I'm so excited!

>>6815246
whatchu guys think about dis?

>>6816534
I think it's too busy. I'd like it more if the bodice were plain black or cream.

>>6816533
Done!

>>6816555

Sauce on shoes please?

>>6816555
oh my god thats so cute! i love the flowery headpiece! I really need a nice pink chiffon blouse like that. this is adorable. Thanks anon!

>>6816629
>that feel

>>6816632
Aww, thanks anon-chan! You're welcome.

>>6816402
I love this dress, too, anon. Would buy.

>>6816254
Girl I know with the black and everything. Especially in this cut, it's perfect for a classy ero coord (opera-length black gloves, simple black tights) but I've never seen anyone wear it.

>>6816534
Haven't seen a decent coord done of it yet. Will probably buy it anyway whenever the price drops to see what I can do with it though. It's busy, but I like the colors in it and I like the simple cut. Also heard the bolero is surprisingly good quality.

I don't know what it is about this fucking print but it consumes my life

i love sheep.

>>6817218
i want it too but they used some weird velveteen for the fabric choice :(

>>6817273
I like the fabric. It would look crappy on cotton or broadcloth.

>>6817218
golly those are cute coords

>>6817273
I thought it was corduroy

>>6817273
I've seen the dress IRL and the fabric is gorgeous. I wish I owned it.

Fruits Parlor. Always.

>>6818125
I just finished my collection of the black fruits parlor series. Triple tier skirt aww yeah.

>>6817273
>>6817413
It is corduroy. It's really comfy and cute in person. I have the scallop OP and both skirts. Love that series.

This <3 I look at it and it makes me happy. It's just a shame that autumn has come in the sort of vengeful way which means I can't just put a coat over it, I have to wear something underneath it as well and nothing looks right with that collar. I'm thinking I might just have to go with a black scoop neck thermal and wristcuffs, and freeze my clavicles off since no neckline I have tried works with it.

>>6815290
fuck, I didn't think I liked any AP until I saw this

>>6816682
I know. There are some beautiful dresses that are on lolibrary or hellolace but I've never ever seen anyone wear them. Where do they go? Are there lolita hoarders in Japan who buy several dresses and keep them all?

>>6817413
>>6818160
yeah corduroy...I just can't stand the feel of corduroy or velvet on my skin

>>6817282
i wish it would have been cotton instead so I could wear it then...

>>6819425
It would look shitty in cotton.

>>6817273

It's not velveteen, it's a very light corduroy. Similar to Fantastic Dolly.

>>6819425

The dress is completely lined so you wouldn't feel it on your skin.

>>6820022
Fantasic Dolly is corduroy? I had no idea.

>>6820192
>Fantasic Dolly
>Fantasic

>>6820309
That is actually what it's called... like the official name...

>>6820309
Fantasic

>>6820494
PWND

this is from an indie brand (mossbadger) she literally just posted it on facebook but its so perfect and cute

i wish she took commissions, god damnit

>>6820613
>badly disguised self-promo
go back to facebook

>>6820664

wow am i not allowed to get excited about a dress i'll probably never be able to get?? i thought this was a dream prints thread. the woman who runs mossbadger doesn't even post on 4chan.

>>6816555
Hey anon, if you're around, can you tell me what the name of that rose headband is? Half an hour scouring lolibrary and still haven't found it. It's adorable and I want stock pics so I can make one like it.

>>6820613
even if this is thinly veiled self-promo i'm just gonna go ahead and put this brand into my "do want" list

>>6820789
Why do you think you'll never be able to get it? She posted on her page that she's closed until after Frill - not that she doesn't take commissions.

Polite sage so I don't get accused of self-promo.

>>6819451
at least I don't cringe when I touch cotton

>>6820022
my arms would brush on the sides of the dress, my hands would touch it when I rest my hands on my lap...really sucks I can't get it, cause I love it!
Is fantasic dolly really made from corduroy too? well that's another dream dress I'm not going to get then...

>>6815809
I want to like this but the clouds look like camo.

>>6822536
Yeah, the clouds threw me off when I first saw it way back when. But it slowly grew on me more and more to the point that I love it.

Forever and always dream dress.

>>6822544
It probably looks way better in person, but I haven't had the opportunity to see it irl (which is kinda puzzling, since I recall it being pretty popular/desired). Then again I live in Socal where AP reigns supreme so I don't see a lot of girl in Meta period.

>>6820613
This is cute, but needs a little something extra on the bodice

>>6822576
I have the black skirt from the winter lucky pack. Though no decent worn pictures since it's one of my go-to casual items and I wear so much sweet that I don't have much to properly coord with it. But it's really lovely in person. They clouds look a lot better IRL, and the gate really draws more attention visually, I think.

>>6822576
>but I haven't had the opportunity to see it irl (which is kinda puzzling, since I recall it being pretty popular/desired)

This has always been my puzzlement, too. For such a popular item there are almost no coord photos of it- even now with the rerelease there's been only a very few- and even then, not many /good/ coords overall.

>>6822404

Have you seen/felt either of these dresses in person? They don't feel very different from any other fabric, they're slighty softer but it's not really noticeable...

Scoorred my dream cutsew.

>>6815392

i would suck five thousand dicks for this print

>>6822899
I don't see how this is a cutsew rather than a general TShirt.
But it's fucking ace. Good on you anon.

>>6822938
I dunno, aren't cutsews just a broad term for knit jersey items?

This fucker.
This Fucker Right Here.
I want it so much! But whenever comes up for sale, it's either super expensive or that butt-ugly OP.

I love this print! But I've only seen it for sale once, and even if I did see it up again, I don't think I'd be able to fit into it! ;__; I'm right on the top end of the measurements; never mind actually affording it.

>>6816112

Do you think it'd be understandable to own a replica of this dress?

Because ugh I really want to own it to, I'd totally buy the real thing if I could, too. I just don't want to be made fun of for owning a replica.

>>6826686
simple:

to the people who don't care about replicas: fine, we don't care

to the people who do care about replicas: nope, not acceptable

It's not any different than any other replica in their eyes, why would you think it would be 'acceptable' to people who don't agree with replicas?

>>6826688

Well you can't find it anymore, and I'd really like to own it. If I could find a real one to buy, I totally would.

>>6826692
yeah ok... none of those reasons make it acceptable to own a replica when you're talking to someone who does not agree with replicas dude. most of the replicas people buy is shit you can't find anymore... and guess what, they wanted to 'really own it' too... not sure why you're trying to convince yourself so hard. You're going to get looked down on by replica haters, simple as that. either deal with it and buy it, or stop trying to justify it (none of your excuses will change their mind)

>>6826697

I don't know, that just doesn't seem like a very reasonable way to think to me.

I figured if it's a print that is impossible to find and widely regarded as that, owning a replica wouldn't seem that bad. I would love if they would rerelease it, too.

>>6826704
Yeah I don't think you get it. Just because something is rare doesn't make it ok to steal the design (if you're talking to someone who does not agree with replicas). It's art theft to replica haters. Nothing you say will ever change their mind and no excuse you make will ever make it more 'legal' to sell them.

obviously you don't care about the art theft or the legality, so just buy it.

But if you're worried about being made fun of: No excuse you make and nothing you will say will change a replica haters mind, end of story.

>>6826713

I suppose. I just wish they would make more so people wouldn't have to make replicas. A re-release of Dream Sky at some point would certainly seem like a good idea, to me. Along with other prints that replicated frequently.

>>6826717
Well, except some people will buy replicas because they need a custom size, or they don't want to spend 250-300 bucks on the real thing. Re-releasing prints will never get rid of the replica trade. If replicas exist at a cheaper price, then people will buy them. For things like coach and gucchi and LV? it's a billion dollar market.

And Im sure they will re-release dream sky, just give it a year or so.

>>6826721

Oh I know it will never fully get rid of it, but it would certainly help. Especially for the potential customers who would love to own it but can't and are forced to turn to replicas, instead.

>>6826729
Well, no one is forcing anyone to buy a replica. I know plenty of people who missed out on something, or are waiting for something to be re-released that would never be 'forced to turn to replicas' because they don't believe in art theft or supporting replicas... Just because I want puppet circus, doesn't mean I'll ever buy a replica of it.

Brands release limited runs to up demand, that's how it's always been (with AP) and how it always will be.

>>6826741

What I mean by "forced" is that there isn't currently another easier option to buy it, not that they are outright forced to buy one, but forced as in options.

>>6826745
yeah, that's not even an option to replica haters. Would rather not even have it than own a knock off /shrug

>>6826686
If you want it, then go for it. Don't let sandy cunts stop you just because they don't like it.

I personally don't have replicas but I also don't care if someone does. People that hate replicas enough to be a bitch to you about it are in the minority. Buy it, wear it, just don't post pictures if you're that afraid of being judged by random anons.

>>6820613
What size is her mannequin? Her dresses always look so wide.

>>6831852
She's plus sized so she probably has a plus sized mannequin. She also said on her fb that she made that dress in her own size.
