/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Does anyone own this dress or have any idea of the quality? I was thinking of getting it as something casual to wear for the summer, less lolita, more just general cute.

>>6822627
I like the brown personally

Though I'd take the hearts and belt bow off

Does anyone have this dress in gre? I'm looking to buy it for my first coord but I saw another picture somewhere where it looked a LOT more green. If the color isn't accurate I'll just get the blue, but I liked the lighter color (if it's accurate).

>>6822669
For your first coord, you're probably better off going with something that isn't so busy, preferably a plain-colour jsk or op. It'll be much easier to coordinate it with different colours and ease yourself into coordinating and getting an eye for what goes well with what.

>>6822669

Oh dear. This usually screams "I'm a newbie loli!". I would go with something plain or more toned down.

>>6822669
What exactly draws you to this dress in particular?
I mean, if you like it, go for it - it'll be a challenge to coord, though, and I don't think it's a versatile enough starter piece. But I'm wondering what you see in this dress in particular. Never come across anyone who owns it/even likes it, so sorry I can't answer your question about the color!

Requesting chocoberry coords/coord collages. c:

>>6822695

I just think something about the print is really cute; I love all the little details like the keys and the violins.

As for a coord I was going to keep it really simple aside from the jsk; I was thinking about getting a black and white polkadot headbow to go with the black and white on the print and then plain white tights (although I am keeping an eye out for something that'd work better) and simple black shoes with a short sleeved blouse (lower collar than the one in the picture though because I live where it's brutally hot in the summer) and then some music or key themed jewelry to go with the print.

I'd love to incorporate some of that tan somehow too but I couldn't think of anything.

Also I'll look into other jsks for my starter piece just in case--thank you all for the suggestions!

Anybody got this dress yet?
I like the concept and the shape of the dress, but perhaps it'd be a tad busy. Would love to see someone wearing it.

>>6822764
I'm tempted to change it into a skirt and wear it to the casino.

The things about the painting dress trend is that it's really hard to fuck up. Old paintings+dress= painting dress. It's easy, it requires no skill beyond lurking through creative commons.

but bodyline?
stiiiiill managed to fuck this one up.
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=8040&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_1&noSubType=N

Anyone selling the L362 in black?
I really want it :(

>>6822669

That is the ugliest effing dress I have ever seen.

Any "bodyline that doesn't look like bodyline" outfit shots?

>>6822760
i wouldn't do a polka dot headdress. there's nothing in the print that screams polka dot so it'll look mismatched. you're better off sticking with a head dress in either solid white or black, or one that matches the dominant blue or green color in the print, like the model is wearing.

>>6822812
It's because it doesn't look like an actual old painting so much as just a bunch of random baroque clipart. the most obvious sign is the very apparent repeat of the cherubs on the main front of the bust and the skirt.

>>6822821
That's actually pretty cute. Wish BL would take some decent pics.

>>6822760
As far as the headbow goes, I think I would try to find a plain sax or mint headbow(depending on which color you decide) and then maybe get some kind of smaller polkadot accessory other than that such as a smaller bow pin or maybe encorporate it into the necklace, something like that. I'm not so sure where tan would fit in tho except maybe the shoes, but I would opt for gold if that was the case. Key jewelry sounds good and like I said perhaps encorporate a polkadotted bow on the necklace. Other than that I haven't seen it but I sort of like the pink more. It looks much nicer and more toned down.

>>6822821
I have it in mint and am thinking of selling, how much would you be willing to pay with international shipping?

>>6822930
wow just saw that you want the black one, sorry

>>6822764
There is one worn pic of it in blue on Tumblr, tag: bodyline.

>go on website
>front page has "useful links"
>"crick here"
>sides are in the stratosphere

>>6822821
That's a hella high hemline. BL's roots showing there lol

>>6823913
What was Bodyline originally?

>>6823924
Sexy cosplay shop. That lingerie section they have is a holdover from those days and use to be their staple of sales. They started producing maid costumes as part of that, then added really shitty, fetish-level lolita to appeal to a wider audience. Ironically, they didn't start doing more than one or two actual costumes from anime until more recently.

>>6822707

Wish she didn't pose with her hand at her mouth like that.

>>6822871

>>6824026
I usually hate Bodyline's shitty prints, butI really like this skirt.

>>6824060

>>6824056

>>6824063
I love this outfit, she makes it look high quality

>>6824060
I really like this skirt when you take off the horrible bow

I hate this dress, but this coord makes it look amazing

>>6824084
how to make Bodyline look ethereal

>>6824088

>>6824094

>>6824085
I don't like it when people pair painting-dresses with painting-tights. It's too much and too busy. Just because the general theme of two pieces is the same, doesn't mean they automatically go together.

>>6824094
It's a replica, though. Of course it doesn't look like bodyline.

>>6824088
shitty contrast/high luminescence/instagram?

>>6824097

THIS.
Way too busy and looks like a clusterfuck.

>>6824083
Woah I love this. Thinking about buying it, but I've been out of the loop for a few months. Does anyone know if there are any sales planned/likely in the near future?

Are any of the pettis from Bodyline good?

>>6824134
Unless you intend to wear it for a rave outfit or fairy kei, no. I heard their ridiculously expensive one (the one that goes for like $80 or something) is okay, but you can get better from classical puppets or victoriangirldress on ebay.

My dream dress is Bodyline. No fucks given.

Re-stock when?

>>6824118
Just a note, I have seen it in person, and it is made out of a corduroy sort of material. I would not recommend wearing it when it's hot.

Anyone have pictures of this with a good coord? Or just comments on it?? I really love this dress, but it looks like So much chiffon, so I don't know.

>>6824300
Th-those are just loafers
You can get identical pairs pretty much everywhere

>>6824097
I agree. In her worn photo, it looked like a total clusterfuck. Especially with those tacky shoe bows.

>>6824115
this lol

>>6824078

Holy crap, which dress is that?

>>6824704

>>6822627
I had that dress in sax. I thought the quality was good. I couldn't get the hat to sit nicely on my head however and the cuffs are awkward.

>>6824654
L215

Bodyline rompers I used to own.

>>6824822
ughly fucking 70s trash colors.

>>6824825
I agree. I'm just glad they were able to sell.

>>6824063
That's bodyline? Wow, I wish that was still available!

>>6824921
It is, it's under cosplay. COSTUME295

>>6824825
My gf owns the pink one. It's cuter in person and on the right person, of course.

>>6824938
Thank you, anon! I'd have never thought to check for it there!

this was in the sailor lolita thread. Apparently, it's in Bodyline's punk section?

I normally don't care for a lot of bows on dresses and skirts. This one I can deal with though.

Also kind of like L342.

I have this in lavender and would recommend it, although the fabric is heavier than I expected, particularly around the bottom, so it needs a serious petticoat or multipettis.
I've even washed it in my washing machine and it was completely unscathed.
My only other dress is from F+F, and it's too tight by like 4cm. I got the BL dress in size S though and it fits fine, except just a tiny bit too short (I'm 5'5.75...)

>>6825216
Also comes in these colors as L257

>>6825216
I've always liked this dress. Do you think it would make a good first dress?

>>6822627
My friend used to own it. It's surprisingly cumbersome to wear because of how you have to fasten it on you (buttons are functional, but kind of awkward since the panel is partially attached to the bodice...hopefully that makes sense). It's also pretty damn heavy and makes a better cooler-weather piece. The hat a little silly and feels flimsy. I don't know about your standards of casual, but since this is a set, I wouldn't call it casual.

>>6824334
A friend of mine owns the white version. It's actually nicer in person, but the downside is that the hem is delicate and is likely to unravel.

>>6824063
I just bought this because of this co-ord. No regrets.

>>6824307
Good to know, thanks. I'm in NZ so I don't have to worry about it being too hot any time soon.

>>6824704
>>6824768
omg, so cuute. I especially love the second dress with the musical note headband

I'd like your opinions on this coord please.

>Is it good or bad?
>Can it be improved in any way?
> What sort of accessories can I put on it without it being ita or too busy?

>>6825702

What look are you going for?

>two coats
>blacks don't match
>black and white coordinate that's going to look horrible

switch up the blouse and socks, pick a coat and don't pile them on, etc

>>6825702
Change the JSK it looks like a cosplay item not lolita

>>6824134
Hell no

>>6825707
>What look are you going for?
Honestly. . . I'm not even sure. I've also should've explained this earlier in my first post: I live in a desert area (Hot summers, cold/windy/ fall & winter) and I'm looking for outfits that can used for the winter (that'll probably be the time I'll start buying), that's why I have the sailor shawl & the coat.

>>6825708
> Change the JSK it looks like a cosplay item not lolita
Will do.

any pics of this worn?

My first lolita dress. How bad of a choice is it? (Also, any pics of it worn?)

Also, thoughts on skirt L353? I love all the color choices.

>>6822764
Here's the one from the tumblr tag.

>>6825848
I actually did see a worn picture on tumblr recently, that really made me want it. I'll see if I can dig it up again.

>>6825912
Not terrible, but not the best. One of those dresses that you kind of stop wearing after you get higher-quality dresses in your wardrobe. We all have those.

>>6825912
I own the first release (the beige one with the roses) and I love the hell out of it. I don't have a good worn pic, though.

The only thing you might have an issue with is all the ruffles are surged, but it is nicely done and doesn't feel too cheap.

>>6825922
Eh. I kind of like it now.

Any thoughts on this?

>>6826063
I can't really tell what it's going for. The collar is all jagged on the front of the dress and then it turns into a sailor collar in the back. Then there is magical girl wings embroidered on it? It looks better in pink and sax, but you can see the wtf collar best in black.

New layout and everything, this is so nice!

>>6826370
They have a kid section?

Man I haven't been to bodyline in forever.

>>6826379
Yes, and oh my god is it adorable.
>tfw no kid to dress up in tiny yukata

>>6826370
Woah, they must have done this in the last hour or so because I was JUST on the site...

>>6826379
Holy shit you and I noticed the same thing.

I want dress my kid up like that little girl from Chibi Vampire or a little Rozen Maiden doll.

>>6826386
Me too, it was so surprising, I thought I was on the wrong website for a second.

>>6826370
I feel like the layout could have been handled better so it doesn't make you scroll ALL the way down the page.

Is there any way to tell/find out how many pieces bodyline has left of a particular item? I want L518, but it was apparently $93 in January and it's $67 now. Should I wait more to see if it drops in price, or should I just buy it now and not risk my favorite colorway being sold out?

>>6826416
If you want it that badly, buy it now. Who knows if it'll be there in that colorway come sale-time.

>>6826396
Yeah, I prefer the previous one...

>>6826440
I'm almost tempted to redesign their website layout just to see if I can do better.

>>6824088
add a filter through instagram?

Does that conversion trick still work?

>>6824073
didn't they photoshop the cherry trees in the background in? something about that makes me laugh.

>>6826615
Yep. did it last night, saved $50 all up

I was in Harajuku last week and hit up Bodyline and Closet Child... gotta say, as a newbie lolita it was a bit weird. "Burando" is supposed to be the holy grail, and bodyline is supposed to suck.... but a lot of the brand stuff at CC was surprisingly low quality. CC also carried FanPlusFriend pettis and another off-brand new. I looked at the Innocent World and some other non-AP/BtSSB but burando pettis.... ended up buying the random off-brand because the brand ones were such shit. They were the exact same price, so I wasn't just being cheap.

Seriously, "brand" dresses seem to be about on par with JCPenny quality clothing... I was pretty disappointed. The print and style was all that set them apart.

And BodyLine had some hideous designs, but the quality was exactly the same as the brand stuff to my touch at least. The only difference was that they had like, literally thousands of dresses and only 1 of each on the shelves. So of course you've got the bad and the good when there's so much.

I was thinking of getting this in sax, any idea of the quality? I can't find many pictures or reviews of it. I'm especially worried about the lace at the bottom.

>>6826800
0/10

Reeeeaaaaaaaaalllyyyyy tempted to get that new bodyline dress with the wine velvet bolero. Loads of people are saying they hate the dress, but I actually really like it. Wish I could see some worn pictures.

Well, most people knows that brand pettis are bad fir their price, and that offbrand pettis often gives better poof, so no news

But seriously, do you even know the difference between nice fabrics and not? Which brand dresses dud you feel? Because I have owned dresses from Bodyline, AP, Baby, IW and ETC and the fabric difference is big between all of them. Bodyline uses a cheaper cotton, that is very stiff, and that's why it gets easily wrinkled abd sometimes look very boxy. Brand dresses all uses better cotton, which makes the dresses have a much better shape. So yeah it's definitely so that brand have higher quality.

>>6826615
what conversion trick?

>>6826828
if you change the currency at the top to yen instead of usd then supposedly it's cheaper
with that being said, I tried it a few days ago and it seemed to work. But I don't know if it has changed since the site was changed.

>>6826835
dude... I've heard of that trick since I started lolita. That was like years ago. I'm sure it will always work no matter what ugly pictures that put up

>>6826835
Nope. Still good.

>>6826850
>>6826849
aw yeah

I might go buy some shoes soon in that case.
Thanks, anons.

>>6826835
>>6826850
Guys, I just saved $100. I love you. Seriously. I. LOVE. YOU.

Thank you!

>>6826806
I have this in pink. I love the bodice and the bow at the waist. There is little heart shaped lace on the bodice that I love. I'm not a fan of the bottom lace. If I don't sell the dress, I will change it. It's soft but cheap looking. This dress is made of a lightweight, easy-to-wrinkle cotton, so it definitely needs a good ironing. I'm also considering removing the tulle layer because it feels like a little much. Princess Peachie owns it in pink as well and wears it in one of her videos. I'll post the pics I was intending to use in a review (but never got around to) as well as other pics I found.

>>6826867

>>6826871
The ribbon is satin

>>6826876
The tulle layer

>>6826877
And finally the bottom lace

>>6826806

>>6826877
>>6826879
>>6826884
Thank you for the pictures! I might actually go for it, the lace at the bottom might be alright to remove. A nice, casual-wear jsk for $20? I think so.

>>6822877
Honey, you should not be buying that jsk for your first dress. It's terrible. The geometric shapes totally outweigh the violins and keys and the halter neck is going to be way hard to coordinate with a blouse.
Just, no, love. And the polka dot head bow, wtf?! No.

>>6822871

>tried to place order this morning
>prepaid cash cards don't work for overseas merchants

Crushed 4ever. ;_; They should really put that in bold print...

>>6827184
Can you link your card to paypal?
Is it a 3V, top-up sort one?

Someone please, post a coord with this. I think the dress itself is kind of cute, i just think if someone were to coord it right it would look amazing.

>>6827214
to me this looks like a christmas dress.

>>6827191
No, and Paypal doesn't allow you to link prepaid debit cards, giftcards, etc. I've already used it for AP but that was already in America.

It's a shame, I was thinking about getting another one of these and make an order on Taobao. What's the point of buying anything if it's not from Japan or China.

Anybody have any photos worn or otherwise of these shoes?

>>6827226
as long as you properly register a pre-paid credit cards it does allow you, Debit cards in the US only though.

>>6827391
Anon I do!
Someone else wanted it a long while back.

>>6827219
The model is 1,60m and the dress is already that high up her knees? Damn, I would never be able to wear this

>>6826800
I've heard before that brand pettis are pretty worthless unless you specificallydo a lot of layering of pettis. They seem better for shaping than for poof.

>>6827214
Looks better when you replace the skirt portion to non-print, but I've seen no decent coords of it as-is, really.

>>6827426
>tfw 172cm
>tfw too tall for just about all your dresses

peachie does a great job with bodyline dresses imo

>>6828649
NO don't mention Peachie anywhere ever on /cgl/, it is a drama bomb waiting to derail a good thread off the tracks.

>>6826835
>shoes listed at 40$
>JPY 2,999 aka 29$
WELL SHIT. Wish I had known this sooner.

>>6828664
It is a magic trick indeed.

>>6828664
>$53 skirt
>converts
>drops to $40
and I learn something new everyday.

>>6824334
It's a great dress save for the fact that none of the hems are actually hemmed.
>>6824286
Mine too and no ones selling it.

>>6824822
I really want Bodyline to make a salopette. Like an actual one. I'm really curious as to how it would come out and what print they'd use if any.

As much as it's "that print that EVERYONE has" I really really wanted the Soft Cream JSK in Mint, but it just sold out of my size. I have the skirt so I'll have to settle but ugh I'm so mad I let it get away from me.

Question: I have a black squirrel party skirt modded from the op and matching knee highs, is there anyway to coord it or should I just sell it?

>tfw out of stock ;_;
Will it ever come back?

>>6828724
I would kill ten babies for an Antique Clocks salopette with polka dot straps. Hnnng.

>>6825848
I would also like to see a photo of this worn!

>>6824063
I've been wanting this one forever. I can't decide between blue or black. I only saw one or two pictures of blue being worn. There's a lot more black than blue. Are there any other blue outfits?

I was browsing the bl tag on tumblr and saw this,I think im going to get the skirt version in my next bl order.anyone own it? can you tell me if the lace on the bottom is scratchy/can it be removed easily?
also how long is it? im 5'9 and I want to make sure it will cover my knees.
thank you.

>>6829265
That looks to be the same lace that is shown here! >>6826879

>>6829265
I used to own it and its one of the few BL pieces to have soft cotton lace! No scratching at all

The website change is really weird, what happened to all that fairy kei stuff they said they were putting out?

>>6825848
Oh this skirt, I saw the bordeaux colorway IRL and fell madly in love. It's a really nice quality, and the print doesn't look so busy in person. The fabric is thick and a bit heavy (I like it) and the lace is nice too. I wish I could buy it...

>>6829265
I don't think it'll cover your knees, anon. The girl wearing it in the photo is quite tiny, at least 5 inches shorter than you.

>>6829540
The color on the right? I thought it was brown (unless you mean it looks more bordeaux irl?)

>>6829265
If you get a 2L you might be able to stretch it with a light petti... But I would measure from your waist to your knees and try it.

>>6825848
>>6829765
ooooh! Brown or bordeaux, I really kinda want it! I think it's a nice piece, the only picture I've ever seen of it worn was in the black and I wasn't too fond of it.

>>6828880
>;_;
>summerfag

>>6825848
Is this just in skirt form? Do want dress.

>>6834516
There's an OP (L513) but no JSK I don't think.

Horyshetnewlayout.

I'm glad that the creepycutebullshit is gone, but for some reason, I'm getting a wholesaler vibe.

>>6834589
Now if only they'd restock some of their popular items because I really want this one piece in black too.
>>6822821

>>6828709
That's the perfect gif for what I'm feeling too. Thank you lolitanon for the tip.

/cgl/ I've been lurking for awhile and I'd like to buy some pieces from bodyline to try and build a lolita wardrobe. Which pieces would you recommend for a beginner?

>>6829265
I have the skirt in 2L if you want it cheaper anon. Bought it last year but Never wore it, only took the tags off. The waistband is still Stiff from non use. I'll sell it for $25 shipped?
Anyway my email is there and I'm happy to send proof pics.

>>6834656
Im typing from work on my phone so sorry for the creepy capitalisations and fragments.

Does anyone own the P008 cutsew? The black one looks alright from the picture, but the redxblack one looks absolutely terribad. That might just be because of the color combo though. Does anyone know what it's like in person? I'm mainly interested in opinions on the actual cutsew, I wouldn't use the collar anyways.

>>6822627
My friend has it, I've worn it, it looks pretty tacky when worn and doesn't accommodate a petti very well. Here's a picture of it she threw on just for kicks with no accessories or anything. She was pretty disappointed.

>>6834834
that's sad. it looks really cheap in person! wow

>>6834834
Yeah that's a crying shame, though you can kind of see even from the catalogue image that the black version looks a bit lacklustre. Your friend has my sympathies.

So after finding out the story behind Love Nadia, I can't help but feel a little creeped out by the print, but I really like it. Should I buy it anyways?

>>6834919
that gif LOL!
Are those all his bitches?

>>6834924
It's been so long since this was made I don't remember. All I remember is it was when Yan went to England and was going to have a teaparty but ended up going clubbing instead.

>>6834834
The collar is so cute, but everything else isn't
why did it have to be in plaid?
could look better without the heart pockets, the belt, and added with black tights

>>6834656
Aw shoot, I just ordered the jsk version off the site! I'm so sorry I wish I'd've checked sooner , thank you for the offer though !

Anybody know the largest measurements on the Lovely Poodle JSK? I want to post a WTB but wanna make sure I can fit into it first.

>>6826063

I think it looks very cute and workable. though modifications are going to be necessary.

>>6826063
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's kinda cute.
>>6835054
what modifications would you recommend?

>>6834919
there's a backstory?

MY MIIND KEEPS TELLIN' ME NOOOO
BUT MY BODYY
MY BOOODYYY KEEEPS TELLIN MEE YEESSS

>>6835338
Not gonna lie, that pattern is pretty cute for something you would want to wear around the house in the summer.

But that's it.

>>6835276
The title of the print kinda explains it. Mr Yan was in love with Nadia, the winner of the bodyline model contest, and proposed marriage to her. She told us this on an egl post about the bodyline model contest as a warning to others that it wasn't a model Mr Yan was really looking for, but she deleted her comments later, probably because people kept asking her about it.

Kinda like this in the peach colorway. Any pics?

I've been a secret lolita lover for a while. Someday I'll have to pick out a cute Bodyline coord so I can feel like a princess in my own house.

>>6835348
Nadia wasn't the one who got pregnant though, was she?

>>6835363
No, that's Yoshiko (the girl in
>>6835358
>>6835338
>>6827214
>>6826806
etc pics)

>>6835346
oh yeah don't worry. that's the reason why i want it.

do you get a lifetime supply of bodyline if you marry mr yan

>>6835365
Poor girl...

Can anyone post coords/reviews of this?
Do people really hate it as much as they seem to?

>>6835365
>>6835363
p-pregnant from mr.yan...?

>>6828871
Bumping for this again. I'm not sure if I should sell it or not. Help?

>>6835369
Yes, but only the stuff from the 'Love Dream' section

>>6834954
That's gingham you uncultured rip

I placed my order on Bodyline. Whoever found about changing the currency to yens, you have all my thanks. (for exemple the paiting dress went from 62 to 45€)

Now let's pray I'm not hit by the customs

>>6834954
> plaid
Jesus christ.

HOLY SHIT. did not know this before. tried it and the skirts i like dropped by like $7 each. thanks!

does this price drop hold through checkout even if i have it shipped to the US? would love to hear from folks who've used this successfully...

>>6837260
Just used it last week, shipped to California. IT worked flawlessly.

>>6837297
thanks anon....i'm no rori, but i've been eye-ing a couple of the more plain JSKs as summer dress possibilities.

also holy fuck that chocoberry skirt is cute....kind of liking the black and the purple....

>>6835390
No, pregnant from her boyfriend.

>>6824072
I have this jsk in lavender. It's super cute.

>>6824768
I would love this but that dress is so short. I wish Bodyline dresses were a bit longer. I love my mint green Soft Cream jsk but I feel so exposed when I wear it.

I'm thinking about buying this top, as my taobao order won't arrive in time for my meet-up. Can I get some opinions as to whether it'll match or not.
Thank you

>>6825949
>I own the first release (the beige one with the roses) and I love the hell out of it.

I fuken hate you ;-; I wanted that dress so bad and when I finally saved up enough to get it (before I had a job), It was sold out, AND the skirt version. Same with those badass spiked RHS.

Fuck bodyline, they never restock any of the great stuff.

>>6837703
Holy shit that's me

Who has altered Bodyline stuff? I got a jsk recently but it's too small so I was thinking of using its waist ties to alter it. Does anyone have experience on this?

>>6828664
>$80 skirt
>£52 for me
>convert to Yen
>£38

woah

So does bodyline ever have regular sales? Maybe I'm not online enough, but I hardly ever see any specials going on.

>>6838946
Your sale is the fact you can trick them into being able to pay their yen prices.

Really, though, the main sale that comes to mind is when they do free air shipping.

>>6827107
The way she's standing is really pissing me off.

I hope the new layout is just tempoary...

>>6839572
Oh god why.

>>6839572
I kind of like how organized it is, but it's kinda of pointless to arrange something for convenience when you have to wait for all the thingies to pop up. The colors look tacky, too.

I like Baby the Stars Shine Bright's webpage the most. Angelic Pretty also has some convenient motherfucking neatness.

I hate it when websites just say "dresses" instead of specifying what kind of dress it is. Like, why can't you just say "JSK" or "OP" the way AP and BTSSB do? Innocent world does this shit.Makes me want to bitch slap them.

>>6825377
different anon here.
I have the lavender one and bought it as my first dress. I would recommend it because it is easy to coord but it is a lot heavier than it looks and mine seems to run a bit big (either that or I suck at measurements)

>>6839572
Junperskirt, Coursets - Mr Yan's amazing english skills are showing again!

>>6839629
>Courset
oh is that the british spelling?

>>6839679
Get out.

>>6835389
Wow it's the same bodice design as their carousel jsk.

Would anybody be interested in buying l262 in brown? Maybe >>6822821 ?

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=5806&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_1&noSubType=N

I left lolita a while ago so it's brand new and never worn. I opened the package and it's a pretty good fabric, a little bit heavy. I also have a brand new petticoat that I'll give you for free if you buy this JSK.

>>6839697
I'm interested in that, anon. How much you looking for it?

>>6839697
Interested as well, size/price?

>>6822764
I fucking love that dress

>>6839707
>>6839788

I was hoping for 45$ + shipping, but that's negotiable! It's a size M; the site should have pretty accurate measurements...

I got an email from someone already so if you guys are interested whoever amongst you agrees on the best offer will probably get it.

>>6839821
I could go $55-60 +shipping depending on what the other offers are.

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=7251

Anyone have any pics of this bag? I wanted the black version but it's sold out, so I'm wondering if the other colours are good too.

>>6839889

Well, that's the best offer! If you want it for sure, email me and i'll give you my paypal address.

Does anyone know if this is a replica? It looks wicked familiar, and has a bit of an MM vibe.

>>6841398
It definitely looks like an MM dress, but I don't know the name of the dress it looks like to show you.. hmm...

I have two questions. 1) Can I use a prepaid (vanilla mastercard) creditcard to buy from bodyline? I live in Canada, if that matters.
2) Anyone own the "l511" or whatever it's called? (Sorry, I'm on my phone, I don't remember) I was thinking of getting it because I really like aprons on Lolitas, but not really sure if it's quality.

>>6841422
Looks like something my mom would wear in the kitchen

>>6841422
Every one of those prepaid cards I've used has been domestic stores only, so probably not. It should say on the back of the card whether or not it allows foreign purchases.

>>6841444
I don't particularly like the dress, but damn you have a swanky mom if she wears something like this around. Haven't seen mine in something besides sweat pants in a long time.

>>6825702
Do you own that dress? It's been calling to me for a while, I'd like to know a bit about the quality before ordering though.

If you're going for an old school vibe then this looks good, but if you want something more modern look into a more tailored coat and more delicate shoes. The blouse also looks a bit... hmm, fluffy(?) for the streamlined dress.

questions about the antique clock OP....does the "gry" stand for the grey colorway? i only ask because there's also a "gre" (which i'm assuming is the green colorway) and the colors aren't marked on the photo...pic related.

also how's the fit on this? i missed out on the skirt version and i love this print. i have a 94cm bust and want to make sure it's not going to look totally dumb on me with the way the bodice is gathered.

>>6838403
I've altered bodyline stuff but not in that way. I've had to shorten JSKs from the waist, because I'm pretty short (5"0) and have a short torso, so before altering, the JSKs hit mid calf.

Their construction isn't too complicated though, so it shouldn't be too hard to alter in the way you want to. The waist ties are attached to the bodice, so you'll have to seam-rip the bodice from the inside, but it shouldn't be too hard to resew.

>>6841697
Yes, gry is grey.
Wish I could tell you more about the fit - from what I've seen, it's one of the more popular bodyline pieces, and it seems on the nicer end of things - the torso is fully shirred, though, and might look weird.
I just ordered one for me a few days ago, hopefully it comes soon and I can report back my findings.

>>6841769
yeah, the full shirring is what's worrying me. i'm well under the max for the dress, so it won't look too stretched out...but i've seen a few girls in it where their bust just looks super wonky.

do report back on the fit, anon! i've got it in my cart with a few other things for now...

I've never really paid much attention to Bodyline, so I apologize in advance if this is common knowledge or something, but does anyone know how often they restock their stuff? Those spiked RHS are really calling to me, but my size is not available in black.

(Also, on that note, what is the best way to measure your feet correctly? I have pretty big, un-kawaii feet and I want to make sure they fit right.)

>>6841697
Gry is gray, but you can also email them to double check, they don't seem to mind my emails.

90cm bust, 70cm waist, 5'7" here, and it looks like this.

It's roomy enough to pull down over my hips and I've seen gals with larger busts look great in it. You must define the waist though, or you'll get lost in the full shirring. Use the detachable bow, a ribbon, I've seen a lot of great belted coords too.

>>6841782
Best way is to stand on paper, trace your foot (or have a friend help) while your weight it on it, then measure in cm from heel to furthest toe. I got 24.5 from heel to big toe (my longest), and all my shoes from them are the 24.5 size and fit well.

>>6841782

Just give it up. They will NEVER restock those shoes, and nobody is selling them in 25.5 black or white anywhere online. And nobody has found out where Yan-san gets them, either.

>>6841786
That looks super adorable on (you?). Thanks for the tip, now I'm very excited to receive mine!

>>6841786
oh wow thank you!! yes i was leaning toward a belted look with this for sure. that's just super duper cute...definitely ordering it now!

>>6841800
Thanks anon!

>>6841802
Aw man. You mean there aren't even any TaoBao shops selling similar ones or anything? I didn't even know I needed them until a little while ago and now I can't get them out of my mind

>>6841786
Woah, this looks amazing. I've never actually seen a coordinate on a girl who isn't plus sized and stretching the poor shirring to the limit.

>>6841829
If you are crafty, I'd buy a similar in-stock pair and make that spiked buckle. Hardware can be found on etsy/supplies for that kind of stuff, I'm considering it because those are sold out in my size and color too.

>>6824334
I own it an I love it but yeah be careful with the hems. It's gorgeous in real life, especially the black colorway

>>6841845
That's not a bad idea, I might just try that actually. I don't really have any experience with that kind of stuff, but it's worth a shot!

>>6841829

Not that I've found, but then again most taobao shops only sell shoes up to size 39 (Bodyline 24.5) anyway. You might be better off having some made.

>>6841845

Not that anon but I considered it, but the problem is there isn't an in stock pair that look like those spiked ones. they're all either frilly, have the ribbon/straps, or too many snaps on them across the foot. And now those new weird looking fringe-y ones.

>>6841845
>Hardware can be found on etsy/supplies for that kind of stuff,

No. Go to studsandspikes.com
A real punk resource, so many kinds of studs, and yes, spikes. Great prices, too.

seconding studsandspikes.com

dude who runs it is really nice and ships super fast. VERY reasonable prices.

>>6824334

>>6841994
Ah, thanks for that, I'll try that site!

I was actually going to use http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct.asp?id=4594&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_10&noSubType=N for this. I am going to use a seam ripper to release the straps, close that back up, seam rip the top of the heel to separate it and insert loops (cut from the straps) and stitch in place, and kinda go from there. It takes a metal thimble, strong needles, a sharp blade, and WD-40 (spray your needle before you stitch, it glides right through) but you can definitely do surgery on those shoes.

>>6842015

trying to decide on which color of the chocoberry skirt to buy....i really like the purple, but is it easily coordinated casually (i'm not a loli)? i need some new summer skirts and this is just too fucking cute....what color would be most versatile in a wardrobe?

>>6842130
It just depends on what colour is the strongest with what you own. Honestly, if you're just starting, I'd go with the cream or the pink. Cream is a neutral so it's easy to coord with most blouses and stockings regardless of colour, and pink is just a colour that's really easy to find things for in this fashion.

>>6842130
Perhaps pink and beige. I would say black also but I'm not too fond of it.

>>6842150
>>6842157
i should have clarified that i'm not really trying to get into lolita...i just like the skirt. pink is not my color (it's sold out anyhow), and from what i'm seeing in worn photos, the beige is very close to my skintone, so probably not the best. i wear a lot of blues and greens already. thanks for the opinions though....

polite sage for lack of input

>>6841697
I own this OP and have a 94cm bust.

The fit of it is fine, thankfully it doesn't fully stretch out the bust of it and look stupid but as others have commented, you definitely need something to separate the bodice from the skirt. I've tried it with a thick elastic waist belt and it looks okay, as without it it looks bulky and shapeless on my waist.

>>6841802

So I just ordered these in 24.5/Black, and holy shit that USD/JPY trick is THE SHIT.

Shoes USD: $53
Shipping USD: $10
Total USD: $63

>>6841398
Bumping for info on this dress. If it's a replica I'd like to track down the original, if not, hell, it's a pretty dress and I want one.

>>6837703
They restock frequently but only at their Rakuten.

what is the general quality of bodyline's shoes? do they scuff easily, fall apart, get damaged after a few uses, etc, or are they pretty sturdy?

>>6845756
Seems to depend on the shoe. I had their heart buckle replicas ages ago, and the straps broke after a couple of months of light wear.
On the other hand, I have a pair of clunky platformy shoes and I swear they're made of reinforced concrete, they've been in the wars and they're still in good nick.

>>6845756
I wear mine until they... Well, none of them have fallen apart yet, and they are subjected to decidedly reckless and frequent wear.

Worst damage was that the rubber bottom of one of the chunky heels began to separate from the shoe at the toe after a day walking at a con (if you can call my version of bipedal locomotion "walking", I am accident prone and not graceful) but it was more from stubbing into escalator steps and sidewalks than natural wear and tear. Fixed with rubber cement and never had another problem.

They do scuff, but if it's not deep, my shoe guy can buff them right out. For PU shoes, and the prices when they go on sale, they are worth it.

>>6845848
Not that anon, but you can buff the scuffs yourself at home with a little fingernail polish remover if they're not too bad.

Another bodyline shoe anon here, I have about 5 pairs and my favorite and most comfortable pairs are the boots and any of the inclined/wedges. Though, be careful with strappy shoes because the straps can break after a while.

>>6845853
>Fingernail polish remover

Ah, thanks for the tip!

Sage, as I've nothing else to contribute.

I'm looking for a price check on this body line JSK /heart apron dress.
I need to sell it.

>>6845848
da, but when does bodyline tend to have sales and how much do they mark things down? do they have summer outlets or...?

Some Bitch made walk 27 floors down the stairs and I ended up scuffing up my shoes bad, how can I fix them or are they done for? Nail Polish remover does nothing

>>6846164

magic erasers from mr clean will fix them almost immediately

Does anyone know anything about the quality of Bodyline's Evangelion uniforms?

>>6846164
Just use a normal pencil eraser.

>>6846402
Here's a pic of Maridah in one if that helps.

>>6846458

Yes, thanks. Not a fan of the shape of the skirt + the zipper front blouse.

Just saw this pop up on my dashboard.

Whoa.

>>6846059
Bodyline's sales aren't actually sales; they just hike the price up before and then "lower" it to make you think there's a sale.

>>6846618
Am I the only who hates fishnet tights with lolita (actually in general)? It looks so cheap and trashy. The rest of this is pretty though.

>>6846691
When it has a crochet pattern like that pair, where it's worked into the net, it doesn't bother me because it breaks up the lines and softens the overall look of the stocking. Fishnet alone, yeah, not so great. Too harsh, generally.

>>6846719
Even with the flowers it really bothers me. I like the floral tights that aren't net like that, but eugh. It just classes with the elegance of the rest of the outfit imo.

>>6846691

I generally do (ever since lace stockings became the thing, I generally prefer that>>>> fishnets), but I still really like the way it's coorded despite that.

Now I sort of want this dress. Apologies for noob question, which dress is it?

vocaloid

>>6841747
Thank you, I was deciding whether to see if I can lose the weight or alter it.

>>6841782
Different anon with a question about shoe sizing- does having wide feet affect the sizing?
I vaguely remember I had measure my heel to toe as 23 cm, but bought 25cm from BL because the rest were sold out. The shoes actually fit fine, so I wondered if it wouldn't have fit if I had actually ordered what I measured.

>>6838403
I've altered bodyline using the matching skirt (found a damaged one on the facebook sales comm for cheap) to increase the shirring panel. Then adding on the removable waist ties as opposed to the ones sewn on. It came out really nicely. But then I ended up losing enough weight to wear it as is and the item was restocked, so I ended up selling it to someone. They made a really nice bag with the extra fabric from the skirt.

>>6847592
The vocaloid song "Ah, it's a wonderful cat life"

>>6822871

Hai there.
This is late, but I've got a few shots of girls who rock bodyline so much that they actually make me proud to be a cheap ass.

>>6822871

>>6847706

>>6847700

>>6847719

>>6846922

Thanks for the link!

>>6847614

I think it varies between the style of shoe. I've heard that their RHS are rather narrow, and to order a size up, and that their maryjanes fit true to size... but then I've also heard that their RHS are both true to size and run large, so I guess it just depends on the pair.

>>6847719

omg what is this dress? I need it in my wardrobe!

>>6847719
That store looks strangely familiar...

>>6825702
I have that blouse! The sleeves are a bit long and I ended up never putting the tie ribbons back on it since it's a pain with high waisted skirts. It's stretchy fabric compared to the stiffer thin cotton on the other blouses and has the thickness of a thin cardigan.

Everyone else is right to suggest to switch up the blouse. It's a major pain to try and wear it in the summer.

>>6822764
I have this in black it sits well and has outline of shimmery gold around the playing cards. No scratchy ita lace either !

>>6848362
I'm quite sure it's Buttericks in Stockholm

I have a question about Bodyline's shipping?

A pair of shoes I ordered shipped yesterday, but all I get when I use the tracking number is "** Your item was not found. Confirm your item number and ask at your local office.". What does this mean?

Does anybody own this maid costume? Can you post pictures of it if you have it?

Requesting chocoberry skirt coords in black please :) thinking about buying it. (it's so damn cute)

Also, which bodyline petti's are decent quality?

>>6845705

Yeah, but then don't have THAT dress, or the skirt version on their Rakuten.

>>6849366
They ship on Tuesdays or something I think, but they confirm the shipping beforehand for their parcel service to pick up and give you the #. Wait a week maybe and it should activate.

>>6850835

Ok, thanks!
