In the purple and black, anyone?
willing to pay tonight, email in the field.

Masquerade Theatre jsk in red or cream colourways. I want this so, so much.

Never gonna happen.

Can we include skirts too?

Fuck it, have a skirt.

>>7107431
goddamn those are pretty

At the moment I only have a dream bag.

>>7107534
Morgane is up on Yahoo Auctions right now.

>>7107904
>>7107534

There you go: http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g125236836

>>7107534
I have the Morgane OP in black for sale currently. asking $300 plus shipping, reply if you are interested or email. It's in the field

This baby in Lavender or Red. I only ever see the black/pink or brown ones pop up.

Ugh...this dress

>>7107904
>>7107908
Holy shit, I somehow missed this. Thank you so much!!

>>7107996
I'm going to take down your email, if that's okay - I'm on the fence on the black.

I see it sold in every colorway but Navy - But I don't want to give up my search just yet!

>>7107581
I know, and I've always been bummed that I didn't get it when it came out.

Now I've been having relationship issues and just haven't stopped wanting it. Retail therapy.

Well, all my wishlist but this is the one I like the most.

>>7108047
Which dress is that?

>>7108050
Yeah no prob!

>>7108055
Baby's Jewel Tree Bouquet

My babies. When will you finally be mine?

>>7108052
I have the OP and would totally trade it for the jsk ;~;

>>7108185
Are you in my comm? I swear I saw this exact image posted in a dream dress thread in the group

>>7108047
It's up on mbok right now, if you're interested!
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_418933488.html

I am obsessed with this in white and lavender. I need it. Bad.

I'm not a Lolita but my intense love for cats makes me yearn for this ;_;

I've never gotten into Lolita but my intense love for cats makes me yearn for this ;3;

>>7108343
> Murder.

>>7108363
Murder?

>>7108366
Thats the only way they're going to get it.

>>7108337
thank you for the link!
I'm still undecided on the white or pink though so I'll probably pass. Also, I don't know how to use mbok, haha.

In order of how much I want. I'm kind of new and currently only own Taobao, so my dream list is probably boring.
And I know the Twinkle Journey depicted is a replica. I'm ashamed, but I really like the no straps look.

>>7108367
Damn, well I will admire it from afar then. :(

>>7108380
That Meta sailor OP was up on auction recently. Want me to see if I can get you a link?

>>7108370
>Too lazy to use Mbok

So much for it being your dream dress

>>7108340
uh

>>7108224
I saw the OP in Navy being sold on Mbok with the matching headcombs. I was close to tears that it wasnt the JSK.

>>7108380
I have the Twinkle Journey replica, regret nothing, blah blah, but if I were to remove the straps, I imagine it would be too heavy with not enough support in the bodice to wear strapless

Everything from the navy colorway is perfect in my eyes.

>>7108241

Probably. I'm in one of the Carolina's.

>>7108341
How bad is your need? I have the set in Lavender, and was trying to sell it a while ago. I don't need to sell it anymore, but it seems like if you were willing to pay my asking price that you would enjoy it a lot more than I would (I'm still kicking myself for not getting the Black) ... I'm in Australia so postage is a bit on the high side but if you're interested I'd be asking $380AUD (~$360USD) before shipping and my email is in the field.

>>7109739
Ah, so I was right!

>>7107498
It's up on mbok in red, but it's pretty expensive:
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_420367635.html

i never seem to be able to catch this anywhere

>>7111269
also on mbok right now
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_420204618.html

>>7111269
I've seen it a lot on sales but never in that colourway.

>>7111277
i love you dearly

>>7108054
Good luck finding it. I spent over a year tracking down the black high waisted one and bought it (with minor damage - the hooks and eyes had come loose on the collar) for nearly retail on mbok.

Now this is actually never going to happen for me.

Lac des cygnes anon, you around?
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_420356668.html

Fantastic Dolly JSK in pink. Hnnng

I missed out by ten minutes last time I saw it on the comm sales.

Lotta JSK in nordic blue

I should've bought the first one when I had the chance, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will pop up someday!

>>7112497
You know, I didn't really care for Dim Light at first, but the more I look at it the more I want it. Isn't it near impossible to get though?

Being sold on the comm right now.

http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/22052480.html

Just posted, grab it quick!

>>7112497
Name and sauce for the last dress (bottom right)?

>>7112532
I have no clue anon, I can't find it on lolibrary either!

>>7112536
It's one of the Moitie Christmas releases. They're more expensive/coveted than usual.

>>7112524
ohhh my god, I would jump on that so quick if I had the money right now.
Thanks anyway though, anon.. I guess I'll trawl through J-auctions when I come up with the money.

>>7112524
>http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/22052480.html
Too bad it's not the same version! I really love the shoulder cape

>>7112532
Lace Embroidery JSK

>>7112235
YES
what do you write for the self introduction?
Other Lac des Cygnes anon wants this colour way though so if you see this then let me know and I won't fight you for it because it's not my fave colour way and I'm broke haha

>>7113034
If you use a SS, they should do it for you?

>>7108381
I saw it on auction a day or two ago for about $1000. Almost murder but not quite.

>>7111269
i think it's on comm sales right now, i've also seen it on auction multiple times recently

>>7113555
>1000
>cat's tea party
nigga u srs
I thought the quadruple digit prices were reserved for the rare shit like Puppet Circus and Iron Gate
holy scalping, Batman

>>7112497
hi chokelate

>>7113558
But Cat's Tea Party is rare

>>7113558
it's not scalping if someone is willing to pay that price.

>>7113557
Sup

>>7113558
Cat's Tea Party was an exclusive release only based on pre-orders (for one store in Japan?), iirc? So yeah, it's quite rare. I definitely wouldn't go as far as paying 1000$ for it, but it seems that some people are willing to pay that much!

>>7113566
well
yeah I guess it is scarce but i meant like
legendary

>>7113567
as a side note i don't consider it worth 1000 even if it is rare because
cmon, AP
synthetic lace, really?

>>7113567
I'd say Cat's Tea Party is legendary, even if it's only been a little over a year.

>>7113572
I don't consider any of these dresses actually worth the prices most people pay for them, but people aren't buying it thinking on how mid-grade the cotton blend is, lol

I mean, unless MMM radically changed since IG was released, all their stuff is 100% polyester, so IG is polyester. Yes obviously there can be awesome, super high grade polyester, but I've never seen any lolita garment have anything close to high couture/high fashion quality fabric.

>>7113566
I would pay 800 (that's already 400 profit for the person) but 1000 that's just too much.

To me I can't fathom why AP wouldn't just rerelease it at this point. It's a high demand (I've seen atleast a hand full or more girls including me who want it) and you know people will be willing to shell out the 400$ for the set, hell if they charged 500 I think people would still bite.

>>7112235
SSSSSSSHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT I:M HERE

I can;t breathe i clicked the link IT"S STILL THERE

>>7113034
I just bid on it, someone else is bidding though and it's only got a day left so fingers crossed

blessed anon, go forth and let your light shine and may others bask in your grace and sing your praises

i'll stalk mbok and sales comms forever until it's mine. one day...!!

also, dream skirt! i know this went up on comm sales recently but by the time i saw it like three people were already in line for it :( too slow!

>>7113595
Good luck anon! Oh man, I'm really excited for you, I hope you get it. Let us know what happens?

>>7108341
Twinkle Witch anon, I replied to your email. Just checking in to make sure it didn't go to your spam folder!

>>7113695
Thanks, I'm writing a reply now!

>>7113091
Thanks! I've been wondering about that for awhile
>>7113595
oh god I hope you get it, at least one of us deserves to be the swan queen

>>7112497
should have posted this a few weeks ago. am selling my la fee de rose noir to someone i found through /cgl/ for $700
wasn't planning on selling my fragrant rose memories jsk, but you can have it if you're willing to part with $600. i'd rather keep it otherwise.
just sold my rose secret scent through /cgl/.
black and gold divine cross sold on mbok a couple months ago for cheap.

you are too slow, my friend. the first three on your list will be a bitch to find, but best of luck!

>>7112512
>tfw seagull offers to buy your dress saying it's their OMFG DREEM DRUSS and then vanishes

>>7113566
So what's the deal with the Cat's Tea Party release? Did they only allow a specific (and small) number of pre-orders, or is it just that no one actually was smart enough to pre-order it when they had the chance?

>>7114525
It was made-to-order, but it was around $400+ so most people didn't bother

>>7108185
I have the VM flocky dress in the berry/ burgundy color if you want it

>>7114532
So they didn't cap the reserve number and people are still shitting themselves over it?

Damn. I should have reserved it just to sell later.

>>7114604
No they did cap it, it was only for reserve at one store in Japan and the left overs were put on the site to order or something of that sort.

>>7114513
you're the black swan anon that i keep bumping into, right?

also 1 min left on this bid i swear if someone outbids me i'm gonna hulk out

Nope nope nope. cat tea party was quite easy to get from AP Intl. the only sucky part was that the exchange rate for Americans was shit back then and most people didnt want to pay $600+ on a printed dress that seemed no different than other AP dresses.

Not sure how often this shows up in auction. I only see mocha or bitter.

>>7114627
No, you could order during a reserve period at any store or online. It said it was made to order, that's why it took some months to arrive

>>7115033
>>7115065
Oh I see, thanks for the correction! I swear people were telling me it was like Jp -> leftovers -> intl but eh, I know now.
Sadly I wish I was around at that time to make that reservation, now that I've seen that dress I want it terribly. ):

i feel like i should give up on this because i've never seen it for sale, on mbok or eglcommsales.

>>7115137
Don't give up! I'm still hunting for a few pieces I've had on my wishlist for 7 years. This year I found a dress I had wanted for 5 years for 5000 yen. You'll find it eventually!

>>7114525
ok, i don't want cats tea party because it's just not that great quality
i will admit to being a lace snob and knowing ap used chemical and tulle lace and had the gall to charge folks 100$ more than the usual rubs me the wrong way for some reason. I haven't felt or seen CTP's lace but something tells me it is much lower quality than their usual.
Adorable prints be damned.

>>7115157
>I haven't felt or seen CTP's lace but I feel like I'm the supreme authority on its quality because I'm a dickbag

>>7115157
It was more like $200-250 more. It was worth it for your tears.

>>7115157
It's like dot tulle lace and venice lace; it's soft, nothing low-quality about it. It's not custom AP logo with ponies or stuff though.
It was more expensive because it was a special collaboration with Imai Kira.

>>7114997
I think so I'm the one who always posts pic related
I hope you win the dress anon!

>>7115241
I lied it ends at like 6:22 am my time and I'm just...setting my alarms at 5 and 6 to see if I have any outbid notifications from my SS, prayer circle

what colour way is your fav? I just spent the last half hour looking for it in black for black swan anon and I haven't seen a thing, I just keeping plugging in lac des cygnes, ballerina in english and japanese

rambles at 4am sorry

>>7115241
also that file name you must be me

I would take the skirt or OP if it came up in white bc it's so hard to find but for me JSK>>>>OP I dislike the sleeves on the OP.

pic of sax, the colour that always makes me think it's white in the pics and then it's not

>>7115245
>>7115249
I want the black colourway so much I would sell a non vital organ. I have a massive weakness for black x black flocked prints but no one seems to either buy or sell them
I would take the skirt but I have the same feelings about the sleeves with the OP, they seem a little awkward to me and I know that I'd never wear it and feel depressed when I saw it hanging up

>>7115235
Also actually has a made in Japan label too, nothing else I have from AP does.

>>7115157

One of my friends owns it, and I've seen the lace in person. It's beautiful and isn't low-quality at all.

>>7107248
How does bidding on mbok usually occur? I've been looking at this dress ( http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_420317131.html?_SRC=li2_i0 ) for a week now and there's two days left and pretty much no bidding has occurred. Is most of the bidding just going to happen on the last day with perhaps snipe bids? This is my first item on mbok I'm trying to get.

meta's blooming garden. one day you will be mine

>>7115157
How on earth can you know anything about its quality if you've never seen it in person? You obviously are not a very good "lace snob" as you're very misinformed. Woah, it was a collaboration which jacked the price up a bit. Plus as >>7115258 said, it was made in Japan, not China like lots of AP dresses.

You don't know what you're talking about so just keep your misinformed ravings to yourself, thanks.

>>7115253
I swear it used to get sold all the time. I don't get the obsession with it, but each to their own.

>>7115265
It sold for around 10000 yen (the JSK) recently.

>>7115264
Seconding, I was literally just looking for an answer to the same question myself. Also any tips on how Y!J bidding works, would also be amazing.

>>7115253
I've stayed up all night for it to get snipe bid out from under me 4 minutes before it ends i swear to god

I tried to get me SS to raise my max bid a couple hours ago but they haven't been back in touch

so no JSK

>>7114516
Damnit! :( I would've been willing to pay more for La Fee too. Oh well!

I got overzealous and made more of a "dream wardrobe."

I'm looking for anything similar as well, replicas are fine as long as they're good quality. I'm broke as fuck, so.

>>7115380
Name of the black IW dress? It's gorgeous.

>>7115504
http://hellolace.net/wardrobe/innocent-world/type/op/item/42/

Diana OP in black.

I also like the green a lot, but it's a tricky shade to coord and reminds me a bit too much of the Brady Bunch, so I'll probably stay away from it.

>>7115294
Y!J is annoying because for some listings, if you bid within the last 10 minutes of the closing time, they'll automatically extend the time by like 10 minutes so that another person can have the chance to outbid you.
But you can still get your SS to "snipe bid" for you so it's a little easier to win items than on mbok.
Also if you use FromJapan you can bid real time yourself so that's good too.
It's a shame that mbok seems to have a nicer selection of stuff though (also it's easier to navigate on there)

>>7115264
>>7115294
Bidding on mbok generally goes over the whole period of the auction. You rarely get anyone bidding at the end any closer than say an hour, because sellers will often cancel your bids if you do that. With Y!JA, you can use sniper bids, but if you bid within the last 5 minutes (sometimes 10, I'm not sure what determines it?), the auction will be extended for another ten minutes, to allow others to bid.

With most shopping services, bidding on mbok means that your max bid will be input from the very start. With Y!JA, it depends on the service and whether they have sniper bid capabilities or not.

Asked in lolita general but they're too busy arguing about replicas.
My dream dress is on mbok right now and I'll probably have to end up increasing my max bid toward the end. I want a shopping service who's fast and has good communication. Does chibitenshi still do auctions? If not, do you have any recommendations?

Pretty much anything Milky-Chan, just not the necklace JSK, the skirt, or any of the dresses/skirts in the brown colorway. Accessories, too.

I love the shit out of this print and I can't explain why.

>>7115298
this is why you put your max bid in the first place. if you bid high enough you won't get outbid. i find japanese buyers often have a price in mind and even though they place multiple bids, there's always a cap.

>>7112497
secret scent is on y!a. i'd buy it if i had your disposable income.

>>7116322
Yeah I wasn't sure how the max bids worked on mbok, like i didn't want to go charging in and I had tried googling some info and nothing came up, so I emailed my SS about it and they were...super slow on the uptake

I know it sounds stupid I just didn't want to go charging in and act like it's ebay when it's not

>>7116209
Well it was already stated in Lolita General that chibi and most other independent Ss are on vacation. Use treasure Japan,gosurori-orders, or japonica.

>>7116494
use treasure japan for buy it now but they're slow as shit for bidding

MM seekers! This just showed up on Alice+Fururun plus a bunch of other MM dresses.

I remember some anon wanting bisque doll are they still around or am I imagining it?

>>7116660
I'm really not seeing this "bunch" of other MM dresses you're on about, unless you meant the VM ones...

DO WANT. D:

Anyone want to trade their JSK for my OP?

I'm a noobie, don't have any lolita yet, but I've been studying for years now. I want the fucking dress on the right. I'm pretty sure it's Alice and the Pirates. If it comes in a black colorway, I'll fucking die. White or cream like this is fine though.

I'll pay anything.

>>7117039
http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/22071630.html
here's one for 400 euros

>>7117042
asodalsdgi 500 bucks, omfg.

Oh well, it'll happen soon.

>>7117039
Both dresses in the photo are the same one, just in different colours. The black one is just worn with a belt...

>>7117039
The two dresses are the same (AatP's Gloria), the one on the left is just wearing a belt over it. So the left is the black colorway.

>>7109665
Oh my goodness, what is this.

>>7117066
Milky Planet Salopette in Navy.

>>7117072
Thank you kind seagull. I need it ;-;

>>7117046
>>7117049
Oh wow, I didn't realize it was belted, I thought it was just a different style. Well it looks great both ways, very versatile. Thanks guys!

>>7116686
I wanted MM Bisque Doll in black but I got it when MM re-released it.

>>7116752
Yeah, I guess I did mean VM. Sorry!

Anyone looking for one of these apple prints? It's on Mbok starting at 5000

sugar time in whitexpink i'd kill for a price check so i know how much i need to save up after my next con

I posted this dress in a previous thread. I'd pretty much resigned myself to having to find something similar.

Today, I got the email from TBS saying they had successfully ordered it. The dress of my dreams is mine.

Now, if one of you could sell me Dear Celine Rose Painting JSK, I might just die from sheer happiness.

>>7117731

Did you get this from a secondhand site?

>>7117789

Yep, sorry I didn't clarify properly. It's from the 2nd hand section of Taobao. A few DC items make up my wish list, and I've managed to tick a few items off that way. That blue JSK and pic related are two of my dream dresses though.

>>7117862
>2nd hand section

I had no idea

MM Angelica. Every thread till I find it

>>7117862

Ah, sweet. I guess you had very good experiences then? I was considering buying from them since there's some taobao stuff that I'd like to get that's no longer available (pic related is a far reach though)

>>7115380
Is that black and white music note jsk an old Angelic Pretty dress?

I love old AP

>>7117893
Which version/colorway are you looking for? I'm selling pic related.

>>7117870

http://ershou.taobao.com/

>>7117899

All my experiences with it have been good so far. Like new condition, no undisclosed damage or whatnot. I find it a worthwhile place to search if you've got Taobao brand on your wishlist. I've managed to bag a few items i've never seen sold of the western market.

That dress is gorgeous anon, I sincerely hope you can find it. You never know what might drive someone to sell.

That is my dream dress and someone already bought it. SO MAD I SAW THIS TOO LATE.

>>7115137
I have this dress but when I put it up for sale everyone was offering around $150. I know it's not a print dress but damn no way am I letting it go when I paid quite a bit for it when it was released :/

>>7115137
Are you kidding me?! That dress was up on AP SF's site for ages, and sold for like 9k two or three times on mbok.
Get yo' shit togetha, anon!!

>>7115157
>tulle lace can't great quality
You are officially retarded.

>>7117391
Please post here when yours arrives! I want to know if the bust is really max 88 cm. I love that dress, but my bust is 91.

>>7118333

Which site do you think would be the best?

>>7118505
It was on sale for less than that on the AP site. Stop being greedy, it's your fault if you overpaid.

>>7118511
i search mbok daily and never saw those auctions, shit...it didn't help that i started liking it as soon as all of the pieces sold out
>>7118505
you should sell it to me
(for $150)

>>7118519
It has arrived (so happy!), max bust is more like 86 cm. It also has rather small arm holes, definitely smaller than their Antoinette Fleur re-release.

I think it runs smaller, which was good news for me because I thought I would have to have it altered.

>>7118629
How is that I'm being greedy anon? I'd rather keep the dress than get a measly $150. At that price it really isn't worth selling

>>7117905
Yes it is. I doooon't remember the name of it, though.

>>7108052
It's for sale right now on egl_comm

Also, this dress, why is it so hard to find!?
