/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

this

They should be here soon.

I've got a reservation for Melty Cream Donut and Wonder Queen as well so fingers crossed for them.

I'm waiting for this stuff plus a Meta blouse.

>>7184772
Good luck with the reservation! What cuts/colourways did you pick?

>>7184774
Cute dress!

Aiming for the Wonder Queen skirt in navy and the Melty Cream Donut skirt in mint with matching barrette and socks.
I was really torn on Wonder Queen though. I liked the red more but the navy would go better with my wardrobe, shame there was no ivory or brown colourway.

Juliette et Justine, the production on this ran about two months slow so now I need to figure out how to coordinate it for winter weather instead of fall!

I'm waiting on my first ever indi piece. It's not technically in the mail, still have a few weeks before its made and sent out. I meet the designers at a meet recently, they were so lovely, and I really wanted to support a local brand.

hoping Baby will release knee - hi boots this year. i dont like their pirate booties.

>>7184787
left out these tights.

>>7184787
Those boots! Whered you get them?
Very jelly of the cardi, whered you score it from? I hope to add it to wardrobe soon

>>7184791
the my melody 'uggs' are sold out now. i bought the cardi at retail price unfortunately.

included my buyfaggotry because it's important. this is the past couple months, i've received some of the clothing

>>7185581
Where are those pink and white socks from?
Also I have the Meruru fig, it's super nice!

I'm thinking of buying this pair of shoes to wear with my lolita. What does /cgl/ think?

Also link to shoes is below.

>>7185622
No. God is that disgusting.

>>7185622
oh jesus, please don't

This wig! :D

>>7185649
grandma is that you?

>>7185622
if they weren't open back they'd be better, and pointy toes also don't often go well with lolita. i can't see the colours going too well with many things either.

>>7185614
axes femme!

yeah, i've wanted her for a while, she's super cute. scooped her and rorona up for 2600 yen each so i'm pretty happy about that. i love all of the tony taka figs, wish i could afford/justify more

This.

>>7185614
axes femme!

>>7185745
Holy SHIT now I feel like a fool for buying my Meruru alone for $70. Thanks anon!

>>7185804
I think I got lucky, there happened to be a few of both up and ending at the same time on auction, so they didn't go for too much. I rarely ever buy figures when they come out because of this though, they're usually way cheaper on auction a few months down the line (besides a rare few which shoot up in price a ridiculous amount and I will now never own ;_;). I still have to pay fees and shipping, but yeah, pretty decent.

>>7184789
Where are these from?

It'll be awhile before any this makes its way to me, but that doesn't keep me from wanting it now, nor from anxiously checking the mail every day.

The stockings are for a friend and everything else is mine. Hoping everything gets here before December for a big meet-up

>>7186145
what dress is that top right?

>>7184783
That's a gorgeous dress, post pics when you receive it

>>7185581
Ah, I'm so jealous anon. I would love to be waiting for all that in the mail.
Links to the purple dress and navy skirt next to it, if you don't mind? And that mascara? And the Sailor Moon stuff, please?

>>7185622
dat historical accuracy...
but dose terrible aesthetics!
I feel conflicted.

>>7186145

I've been looking for irl pics of that Surface Spell St. George JSK. Could you post pics when you get it?

>>7185581
just swiped this too for 2600 yen too. feels bad man.

>>7186156
the dress and skirt are both off japanese auction so i don't have links for them unfortunately, but they're both axes femme, and the dress shows up fairly often. the mascara is majolica majorca, i get it from shiseido.jp but you can get it from ebay too, and maybe rakuten.

sailor moon stuff is from jlist!
http://www.jlist.com/category/247

>>7185581
where did you get the pillow from? You have great taste all around and i am very jealous

>>7186145
I'm so jealous of that Magic Potion dress! My SS didn't get to it in time. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the quality when you get it?

>>7186145
Sauce on sceptor

>>7186213
aww thank you. it's from yahoo auctions like most of the other stuff. you can find it there, or another site probably, if you look up 電波女と青春男抱き枕

>>7186146
Top right is Alice and the pirates 'Royal tea time package' JSK 2. It's not on their website but if you check the AatP harajuku blog you'll see more pictures

>>7186169
Sure thing, I think it'll make it's way to me around late November. The only change I know of so far is the buttons are gold not green

>>718238
I'll post a review when I get the dress, I'm curious as to what quality the print is

>>718276
It's a vintage brooch from etsy, I'm yet to find a nice life size one

I am expecting this in the mail. Super excited, although I'm not supposed to be buying things...

>>7184771
Awesome! I want the black x iris version although I have no idea how I'd coord it with anything other than more black.

>>7185581
That navy blouse is super cute, source?

>>7185622
Not with lolita unless your dress also happens to be somehow of a similar degree of historical accuracy.

>>7186458
navy blouse is from axes femme, it's still on their website i believe

>>7185581
yuru yuri blanket
be lesbian and be my wife pls

Ugh, the wait for Jellyfish is killing me!

>>7187445
Holy shit all that gorgeous stuff. Where are the shoes from?

Oh Bodyline... I hope this turns out ok. I really like the pictures of the JSK. I may not use the bow that comes with the blouse because I think it might end up being too overpowering.

>>7187454

They heels are Mojo Moxy Celebrity pump. You can get them at DSW for $75.

http://www.dsw.com/shoe/mojo+moxy+celebrity+pump?prodId=283192

>>7184787
Link to the My Melody and the other cute pink bunny stuffs?

>>7185581
Is Erio your waifu? If so, great taste.

>>7187460
Dammit, DSW don't ship to where I am without signing up for some retarded mail forwarding service. Oh well.

>>7187480

Where do you live? Amazon stocks them too, as well as a couple of other places.

http://www.amazon.com/Mojo-Moxy-Womens-Celebrity-Flat/dp/B003C2IOX8

>>7187460
Don't get them from DSW. You can buy them from 6pm for only $40.

I'm done shopping for myself until June.

>>7187688
a-anon
where did you find that heart purse and that brown coat? im in love

also can someone enlighten me as to where to get hairclips/bows etc? I know of chocomint, but I dont know where their website is...?

>>7187688
Wow, just... everything. I'm jelly.

>>7187704
Here's the coat:
>http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.93.iccc85&id=13392149625
And the bag:
>http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.22.VuAbTQ&id=35779218288

I'm not a lolita but from what I heard, Chocomint closed their shop in the summer(?) but you can find their bows and such floating around the EGL sales or maybe some Etsy/Storenvy have items inspired by Chocomint.

>>7187716
Don't be, anon. 90% of it is from Taobao so it's all still available.

not much of this is loliable, but i'm crossing my fingers that i can add wonder queen jsk and melty cream doughnuts op to the list this winter!

>>7187459
I have that jsk, it's cute, but the skirt is a little on the long side. Adorable print, though.

>>7187740
Source on Monsters U sweater?!

>>7187754
Oh crap. I'm kind of short. Do you think a really poofy petti would bring it up enough? How long are we talking?

>>7187762
http://www.storenvy.com/products/2129976-new-fall-2013-harajuku-cute-little-monster-jacket
It's actually a jacket!

>>7187770
Oh its super cute thanks!

>>7187770
I would buy it if Mike was the one with the zipper going through his face...

>>7187838
I can't believe this... I'M ON A JACKET!

>>7187552
Holy shit, thanks for the tip anon. They have a lot of Mojo Moxy for 30-50% off DSW's prices...

>>7187445
what's the blue skirt in the center?

>>7187445
Where is that blue dress from. Holy shit I need it

>>7187445
Jesus. Take all of my jelly.

>>7185581
Goodness anon the grey and beige dresses there are beautiful! Where are they from? You have such good taste T.T

>>7187886
There's like four blue dresses in there...?

>>7187904
The stained glass one. Sorry.

as much as I love yuri I have boifurendo ;_;

>>7187473
Ririchiyo is my true waifu (hence all of the cheapy prize figs, must have all) but Erio is too moe for my heart to handle. there are also no nice dakis of Ririchiyo unfortunately, and that Erio daki in particular is just really, really cute!

>>7187899
I think you mean the two Innocent World dresses? they were both from Violet Blue (or Tokyo Alice maybe). They're called Antique Doll Hamiel OP and something boring like Round Collar Cuffs OP

>>7185581

Are you me? I want to be best friends with you!

>>7187552
of course my size is out of stock.

>>7187923
cel on taobao, but it's sold out as far as anyone knows.

know my pain, anon.

>>7187459
I can confirm >>7187754 's post.
It is rather long.
I am about 5'4 and it's long, it's hard to say if the poofy petticoat would work, it's more of a length matter than just raw poof, otherwise you'll get a overhang on the hemline that kinda droops.

>>7187940

>>7187955
Aw man... Well I'll see how it goes. Thank you guys for the info!

I ordered 5 pairs of socks from a girl's Leaving Lolita sale. She lives just across the border from my state. It's been two weeks and the socks still aren't here yet.

I'm not mad at her but damn I don't think I will ever buy from Mexico again.

>>7187136
ffff can't find it there now

>>7187986
I'm never buying from Poland again. Their airmail service took 2 months last time.

>>7187483
I'm in Ireland, I'm not totally sure whether or not Amazon USA ships here, but I'll give it a try, anyway, thank you!

Just waiting on my dragon dildo

>>7188575
Someday I'll have enough disposable income that I can get a dragon and a tentacle.

Interview With a Vampire: Claudia's Story

Super excited!

>>7188353
aw sorry, it must have sold out. it was there when i made the collage still. luckily they get cute blouses fairly often

My order finally shipped, I can't wait!

>>7188935
Congrats on your A+ taste in anime anon.

>>7186145
Wow, I need that Surface Spell JSK in my life.

This

Getting ready for the donut release this weekend with donut headband~ other than that goddamn got my dream items.. .

>>7190705
The thumbnail makes it look like an oil painting

>>7190746
Yeah its been touched up in photoshop

>>7188601
dude, I want to read the story now for that beautiful artwork!

>>7190747
very nice shop!
Do you have the full outfit or are you still working on it?
and have you ever thought about option parts for different lenses? The PC version of new Vegas has a mod for different colored lens with a wide verity.

This

1st Taobao order incoming. In celebration of getting a new job. The alpaca is for my future home in cube city.

This beautiful motherfucker. I love my military buttons and braid.

>>7190852
ARGH! So jealous! Where did you find it?!

>>7185581
>Makise Kurisu

that figure is so beautiful, I'm really jealous.

This has arrived. And I have no idea what to wear with it. My chiffon blouses are all white-white, not ivory, and my ivory blouses all look too heavy/dense against the shantung. I guess I may need to invest in an ivory chiffon blouse. Because. Goddamn this dress is worth it. It's so gorgeous.

>>7190781
source on the skirt?

>>7190858
Yahoo auctions, got it for a song because the seller didn't have autoextension on so I was able to snipe bid.

>>7190868
Oh wow that's gorgeous. What's the name of the dress?

>>7190868
Unf that is gorgeous! I'd love to see pics of this when you coord it anon!
Damn Baby and their love of putting seams and frills right across the bust...

>>7190886
Lucky youuu. I've been trying to find it for ages. I ended up buying the recent braid pinafore release because I couldn't get my hands on that one.

And it's the Blessing of Michael JSK. It was on reservation until recently, second round just got released. It's not on the site yet, so they may have only released it for reservation? The colour is just so unusual. I couldn't resist it.

>>7190881
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1583485543

They have two different lengths and several colors.

>>7190894
Ooh, I almost bought the braid pinafore one dress, but I would have wanted the cape too and couldn't justify spending $500 on the set.

>>7185581
Link to that blue blouse?

>>7191075
jesus, read the thread. axes femme, sold out.

Holy Lantern in black. This popped up on the FB sales just as my boyfriend asked me what I wanted for our 3rd year anniversary gift.

I'm also waiting on a light box, prismacolor pencils anniversary set of 50, Gel Pens and Copic Anniversary Marker set of 36.

I wonder what the mailman thinks when he has to drop off 234345 packages at my house at least once weekly.

>>7191089
what light box? so weird I was just looking at them on eBay!

>>7191094
Artograph Lightracer Light Box. I bought it to hold me over for now.

>>7191113
oh, I used the wrong word, lol, neat though, hope you like it!

Need to order a few more things tonight or tomorrow

>>7186276
>>7186145
sceptor link pretty please? ;_;

Commissioned Carth's jacket recently. Waiting for some corduroys and a pair of blaster pistol toys to paint now.

Took arda for freakin ever to ship the wig out.
Making drill curls for the first time.
I'm scared.

>>7191206
>Carth Onasi
Sorry to shitpost, but can I just tell you what a great person you are?

>>7191216
Aww thanks. I got my hair cut and two strands fell before my eyes and in that moment I knew what had to be done.

The helmet of my Biker Scout outfit, for eventual 501st membership. Long way to go, but that's a big piece out of the way. It's an enhanced (more accurate decals and snout greeblie) KS bucket used by a Scout who recently got a new one. I am beyond hype.

>>7191255
Looks great! How much did it go for?

>>7191210

are you using the Leia wig?

>>7191273
$275, plus $15 shipping. Considering a bucket assembled by KS costs $280 -without- the decal and snout replacements, I'm pretty happy. Should be here tomorrow, or friday at latest.

>>7191380
Nice. That's how much my commissioned jacket is going to cost. Here's hoping it looks half as pro as that helmet.

Which chapter are you joining?

>>7191445
If by chapter you mean garrison, Alabama. As far as suit, Pathfinders! Also on the waiting list for an undersuit, then will be saving for cummerbund, boots, armor, vest, blaster....

+ HB
First brand dress, petty happy about it.

Crossed off the stuff I've received since the last thread and added a few more. I really wanted to try circle lens but I'm a bit of a pussy about it so I bought 1-day disposible ones so I could easily toss them out if I don't like them.

>>7184784
I feel the same way! They really are lovely. Hope you had a good time at the meet :)

>>7191186
It's from Etsy and it's actually a brooch.
Sorry for not responding earlier I thought I had answered all the questions.

I bought the Meta Strawberry Cream sk from an anon in the buy thread on the 30th of Oct, and it's still showing in the LA USPS sort facility today. Is it just backed up as fuck because of that shooting, or is there no tracking once it leaves the US? It's supposed to take 7 - 15 days and it's still not here.

Waiting for a pair of linear actuators to come. I'm going to use them to pull the hydro cannons in and out of my Blastoise costume.

>>7191567
yeah, tracking on US post stuff gets really crappy after a certain point- try plugging the tracking number into your local post system and see if anything turns up, otherwise you'll have to wait it out.

>>7191567
Customs could already be backed up with pre-holiday packages too. The closer it gets to Christmas the more things slow down. I ordered some stuff in December last year and it was stuck in customs for two weeks.

>>7190761
Nah trying to stay true the the lore

>>7190705
turn down the fucking HDR. Holy shit. Just because the slider is there doesn't mean you have to turn it all the way to max.

>>7191472
Heh yeah that's what I meant. Cool beans. Alabama and Pathfinders, I can imagine going out as a squad of Sandtroopers would be the tits.

>>7192265
There actually is a detachment called "Red Rain" which is all sandtroopers with red shoulderguards.

Also, got my helmet!

>>7190860
i knoww, i love her! i wanted for a while so I'm glad they did a rerelease. I'm on my phone right now but i think i only paid about $35 for her. you should grab one!

I also have a bunch of rhinestones coming in and seeds that I'm going to hoard until spring.

>>7185889
That lucky cat mug is really cute! What seller is it from?

>>7194446
ooh, what's the petti for?

These bad motherfuckers and a second, boring pair of heels
Should be here any day now

I'm surprised how small November's haul is, I almost feel like I should be buy more shit to fix that heh
Anyway, found 2 of my wishlist dresses in one day and both of the headbands pictured, which I wish I knew how to translate Japanese so I could figure out what they're called and could give them a entry in Lolibrary since they dont have it yet. (and if anyone does know how to read it??
http://i.imgur.com/fvoBYcd.jpg))
I meant to get one in silver until FromJapan missed it for me, but settled for the gold until I found a silver one again. I'll give the gold one a shot tho with my nasty olivey yellow skin tone i'll have to sell it

>>7194468
I'm trying to get more into Renaissance/other random historical costuming and I want a little poof under my longer skirts.

>>7194482
It's called the Christina Headbow (クリスティーヌカチュシャ)

http://yaplog.jp/baby-kanazawa/archive/1299

>>7194478
I freaking love those. Would you take some pics/do a review when they come in? I can't say I've ever seen someone wearing them,

>>7184774
I hate you. That bow is gorgeous!

>>7184783
seconding for you to post pics when you receive it! I'd love to see!

>>7194071
>$35
You've gotta be shitting me. How do I get in on this wonderful price? Are you getting her from auctions?

>mfw when I can actually afford this

>>7195013
I just checked, 3800 yen actually. And yes, auction! That was a BIN price so you could maybe get it for cheaper if you keep an eye out. There's one at 3500 right now: http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v322547369

>>7195205
oh, that one is opened. but yeah, keep an eye out.

>>7195205 (You)
oh, that one is opened. but yeah, keep an eye out. there's a few up for 4000 too but i'm sure a cheaper one will come up.

>>7195211
Many thanks! I'll definitely keep a lookout for it now!

>>7194071
Where is that top left wig from?

>>7191567
I sold that skirt! Is there customs in your country? I just sent a gift package to a friend in Norway, and her package was held for 3 weeks by customs with no notice.

Continuing the thread, here are dream dresses I just snagged last night. They both came up at once, so I ended up getting both of them.

>>7196353
Ooh what brand is that? Also... hi T!

>>7196362
Innocent World! They're from 2003.

And hi anon-chan!

Waiting on these. The jetj OTKs are taking forever from kerashop so it's been holding things up.

>>7190738
>>7196400
All the Petit Patisserie. So jelly. Where are you guys getting all of this?

>>7196405
Hi anon! I got mine off comm sales, though I'd usually look to y!j or mbok for most things.

>>7196393
I thought it was IW, but wasn't sure! They used to use such gorgeous florals.
I'm K. I was supposed to go to the tea meet today with R but I overslept :<
Woman you have to help me with this PolyDye nonsense. I will buy us gas masks, I don't care how badly it smells! PAINT IT ALL BLACK!

contributin' IW sale stuff that I will attempt to dye it all black.
Seriously. Wish me luck, /cgl/.

>>7196415
Must have missed it on the comm sales, but good to know that mbok might have it. Thanks!

>>7196424
Okay~ Innocent World makes most of their stuff from polyester, so Poly dyes will work. Check to see if there's any nylons, though! Nylon can be dyed with acid dyes.

You're gonna need a pot that can never touch food again, because dyes smell so bad. I normally do it outside because the smell can linger for a few hours, and the fumes and dyes aren't exactly good for your health.

>>7196433
Wow everything is kinda backwards but POINT MADE DON'T EVER MAKE FOOD IN WHATEVER YOU USE.

Also, because most dyes need heat to set the color, the clothes might be irreversibly damaged and the black might have a purple or orange tint. Most black dyes aren't pure black.

>>7196433
>>7196437
Oh believe me, I am buying a dye-only pot for sure! And I am prepared to have a colored shade of black (purple would be so much better than orange...). Didn't know that about acid dyes and nylon, though!

>>7196424
But both of those dresses are so beautiful! Why don't you sell them? I would love both of those OPs just the way you are.
I mean, if you want them black then that's your choice.

Super excited to start using it! It's been sitting in my amazon cart for 5 or 6 months now.. I really dont wait until Wednesday for it to be delivered!

>>7196424
Yeah uh, you can't actually dye these black.

>>7197498
I've been looking at this because of the price for a while, but the bad reviews are putting me off. (There aren't very many bad reviews and I think they all just got defective products, but you never know.)

When you get it you should do a review or something.

>>7197597
If the sewing machine thread is still around, I will!

I was worried by the negative reviews as well, but the ratio of positive to negative is pretty good. Plus, amazon has a REALLY good return policy so if I somehow hate it, I will have no problems getting my money back!

>>7197607
Thank you so much! Yeah I hope that the problem machines were just defective.

>>7196405
Hey anon, i got mine from yahoo auctions. They go pretty cheap、! i saw one jsk go for 10,000 yen. Mine ended up being 16,000yen but i got the matching otks and another ap otk.

Just purchased this mask for about 200. I am beyond excited because its accuracy is unmatched.

>>7196826
I bought them specifically for dying them haha :) You know that song "Paint It Black"? That's pretty much me!

If you want to buy them, I'm sorry you missed the IW sale (shit was going for dirt cheap!) but I'm sure all those items will end up in people's Lucky Packs, so be on the lookout!

>>7197504
I will post when it's done if you want. The boleros are cotton and Poly Dye from iDye works on poly and poly blends, besides the fact the yokes on both items are cotton and will take easily.

>>7190781

Have you got a link to the Alpacca?

... Is there anyway I can get one without going through Taobao?

>>7193044
Now waiting on the boots, hard armor kit, and holdout blaster. The latter two should be here within a month, boots a little longer.

Contacted someone about the undersuit, but haven't heard back.

>>7185581
What anime is the yellow figurine from?

>>7199659
Not that anon, but if you mean the girl in yellow in the middle, she's from a Jrpg called Atelier Meruru.

>>7199272
You *can* dye them, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to look good at all.

>>7199663
Thank you!

>>7199272
The fact that you're using the same dye on two different fabric types all of which aren't even the same color means it's going to look bad. Trust me, I've tried dying before and black dye doesn't just paint over everything.

>>7199268
>You know that song "Paint It Black"? That's pretty much me!

This is the most special snowflake thing I have ever seen, as well as the most retarded interpretation of that song ever. Get out and never come back.

Also, way to sound like a selfish cunt. I'm glad you're going to waste your money, why didn't you just like, you know, but some IW stuff that's all black anyway? I own plenty of it.

>>7199700
holy shit you're mad

>>7199710
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that shit's going to work. The amount you'd have to dye things with prints on them to even make them look okay will over-saturate the fabric and make it dingy.

The fact that she's a special snowflake who needs to gtfo has little to do with facts though. She still needs to gtfo with her emotes and noob shit.

AATP Black Cat Witch and Apple Tree Op in Navy.

>>7199710
Maybe, but she's right. That anon is legitimately retarded if she thinks this is going to work.

>>7199714
oh gosh i know anon, that little emote is just KILLING me ugh. it's totes okay to be so butthurt over it

>>7199714
Not to mention that if any part of the dress is synthetic, it's not going to dye the same way and just look terrible.

>>7194805
You're glorious, thank you so much!

I just got a bunch of winter things this month. It's getting chilly.

I still need to get myself some fleece lined tights and some cute hats.

My sailor sweater finally got here, and it's really cute, but the sleeves are kind of funny.

>>7201007

>>7201007
Super simple but cute. I love layering in the winter. Are those Totoro tights?

>>7200040
Agreed.

>>7201032
YES.

I bought a pair a few months ago and I accidentally ripped them. It took forever to find another pair at a decent price.

I can never see spending more than $4 on a regular pair of tights. I'll spend more on thick warm wintery tights, but not on thin ones.

I finally found a new pair.

I was a tad worried about getting the leg warmers (I've never owned a pair before) because of the connotations of wearing lolita with leg warmers. But, fuck everyone, my legs will be fucking toasty.

>>7201028

a wig tenlied sent me and a sax uniform from bodyline for my mako cosplay~

Thiiiiiis. I'm waiting to hear back from my SS about final payment and shipping. So friggen excited to get my first real Lolita coat.

>>7201055
How are bodylines school uniforms ? I'm tempted to get one

This, and I really can't wait. It's my first lolita piece.
I also received my first petti today, pretty cheap from eBay but it's nice and poofy. I just hope it's the right length/shape!

>>7201068
I'll do a review when I get it. I heard they were pretty good, so hopefully it's not too bad

>>7201068
i got the sailor fuku. Hate the top, love the skirt.

I won some old Meta off EBay, just got my customs slip today. Parcelforce have put their handling charge up again, so now I have to pay £30 on a £50 package. Ugh.

>>7201233
hows the collar? The collars are my weakness, if not for them I would just make the costume

Not cosplay related, but I just ordered this baby as an early xmas present to me!

AatP Caternia, Atelier Pierrot, and AatP blouse

>>7201482
Price and measurements for the AaTP blouse?

>>7201502
Oh god, oops. Thought I was in the sale thread. I am so dumb.

>>7201482
Every time I see one of your kuro hauls, I am filled with jelly. You have such good taste!

>>7201482
Please post the measurements of the Atelier Pierrot dress when it arrives! I saw it but didn't bid because I thought it might be too small for me. And congrats on the AATP blouse! It's called the Emilier blouse. I own it and it's one of my favorites!

>>7201569
Aha, thanks! I'm not sure if it's sad that I post them enough for you to recognize.

>>7201706
Sure thing! Yeah, I love the idea of it, because it's like two blouses at once. I saw it once on auction, but missed out because it was Mbok and outside of my SS's working hours, but it popped up pretty cheap again on Violet Blue and I had to have it.

>>7201070
Excellent taste anon, I hope you enjoy getting into lolita.

We're your family now.

>>7184772
So this stuff finally arrived. The delivery time was pretty long compared to what it normally is but I guess the Christmas mail rush has already begun.

Pic related is the current haul I'm waiting on.

My shitty small haul! Mostly tights because I needed new ones. Will give links/reviews upon request. Everything is from ebay except the shoes, AatP dress, and AP socks.

>>7201885
Oooh, where's that pleated skirt from? I've been looking for something like that and haven't had much luck.

>>7201885
Where are the shoes from? And what makes them a perfect 10?

>>7201885
What material is the skirt made of, kind anon? I have one that looks like it on its way, but it's thick, fuzzy wool which is too warm for the triple digit summer heat here. I'm hoping to find something thinner.

>>7187740

Yo anon can I get the source on that sweater in the top right corner?

>>7201724
Only if it's creepy that I save them all to my inspiration folder, haha,

Side cutter foot, to do serged edges on a chiffon skirt, ordered it last Saturday, hoping for it by the end of the week

>>7201889
>>7201896
skirt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190841775388?var=490151627178&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
it is made out of a nice thick material to keep my tush warm in the winter. Sorry, summer anon. The last photos on the description page is what the skirt looks exactly like.

>>7201891
Shoes: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=27127056502
They look EXACTLY like the stock photo. They fit really well and are the perfect casual heel height and style. The material isnt particularly flimsy and theyre about the quality you would get at, say, Target. A really excellent purchase at $12. They also have an odd buckle, it has a hook so you don't have to unbuckle the strap every time. I thought it was really weird and shitty at first but ive come to really, really like it and im glad that it is that way. Pic is the shoes with a shoe clip.

>>7202015
Whoa, that's awesome !!

>>7201903
Euphoria on storenvy!
http://www.storenvy.com/products/3310458-free-ship-unisex-hill-beach-sweatshirt

>>7202015
So it's.. basically a foot that acts as a serger? I am interested...

>>7201993
That's actually super flattering!

>>7202044
Wait, weren't you just trying to sell these shoes?

Don't have much coming right now, so also have what i'm going to be buying in the next few weeks or so.

I'm shitting bricks because my lolita dress is out for delivery this morning, but my mailbitch has lost two of my packages since october, she'll deliver them somewhere else and we'll never see that shit again

I've gone in person and made numerous extensive shitty phonecalls to this shithead post office trying to find or packages and they give no fucks

it's a $250 dress and I had to pay an extra $26 just to get the thing tracked, It probably isn't insured or has signature confirmation and I am just screaming internally what if they lose it

>>7202145
i think she bought a size too small and ordered the proper size or something

>>7199296
ebay? just search it up 6-7 dollars free shipping

>>7201885
What are the tights like?

>>7201007
where did you get the black/white blouse with the ribbon? I think i got that same one off ebay

>>7202015
Holy shit... I need this.

Just these two, but I love them.
I got the long version of the JSK, but the stock photo only shows the short one.

>>7190852
Whoah, I love this!

>>7199296
I got it and now I have to stop myself from buying 20 more...gosh. Yeah, Ebay like the other anon said
>>7202795
might be good. I probably ended up paying that much or more in shipping.

Pretty much only waiting for the Moitie and Enchantlic Enchantilly OP, as well as reserve items.

Toilet cleaner was used to make a fake gun last minute.

Currently only waiting for this.

>>7204872
Oh gosh.
You have my dream order, anon. ;_;

>>7205143
Why's that?

>>7202805
Ebay!

But the sleeves are too short for me on both :( The white was sold out in small so I got a medium, the black is a small, but the sleeves are too short anyhoo.

I'm trying to figure out how to get them to stay rolled up, but they're so loose it doesn't work well. I might just cut them off as short sleeves if I can't figure anything else out, because I really love those tops.

>>7201885
What's so bad about the Grimoire replicas?

>>7205122
where's the blouse from?

>>7205969
As I recall the prints tend to run/fade on the replicas.

>>7205969
Some of them have really bizarre color casts, like the base of the noir/blanc cat tights, which are supposed to be like an antique white, are bright highlighter pink.

>>7206062
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-2939005222.56.plLNXG&id=4846769852

Can't wait until it all gets here!

>>7207739
where are the headdress on the blonde wig from?

and how much did you drop on holy lantern and gloria?

>>7207757
Sorry I feel uncomfortable giving an exact number (gotten backlash for it idk why) but you can assume it was a lot of money! I think the going rate for Gloria is around 40,000-50,000yen and Holy Lantern is around 30,000yen. +/- SS and shipping fees

The headdresses and chokers are from Antique beasT. Those are the pieces I'm most excited for!

>>7207771
When did they open orders again? I see they are open now, but they were closed last week! Did you just use the cart system for an international order or did you email them directly?

>>7207771
oh and that's fine about the prices. I was just thinking of letting my shoulder frill gloria in wine go and curious how much you actually paid, since that's a better feeler than going off old auctions. Can you at least tell me if it was an auction or just from one of the second hand areas? (you don't need to be specific)

>>7207790
Someone sold theirs for $550+shipping on the egl-comm-sales

>>7207787
Just yesterday!! If you sign up for their newsletter they tell you when they're opening their orders. And I used the cart system to order

>>7207790
Second-hand! You can always do an auction since it's in pretty high demand

>>7207822
gah, I thought I had signed up, but I guess not. My account is all in order, black cat headdress and bat headdress here I come! hoorah

>>7207825
I adore the cat headdress so much but I don't think I'd be able to pull it off. Please share photos once you get it though, I'd love to see the details!

>>7207830
I just love it because it's not cat ears, but it kind of is? It's just a great gothic spin on a cutsey concept and I love that and I have a couple of pieces I think it will go really well with! Now if only I could figure out how to pin my hair up in the back like they do on the wigs I'd be golden.

sage for ot

>>7202790
>>7202145
Yeah, what that anon said. I sold them so I could buy another pair in a bigger size. I love them!

>>7202798
Which tights? I got a lot of pairs. The generic ones are really soft and sheer. Alice and wonderland ones haven't come in yet.

>>7205969
These ones in particular don't stretch that much (And, to make it worse, I have very skinny legs and I'm only 5'4"), they have a horrible dye job with random white blotches my the seams, im afraid to wash them because i think they might dye the clothes I wash them with, and theyre just a general very shitty mess. I have a friend who got the butterfly tights and they came in an odd lime green color. These ones are pretty good in color but they stretch and get gross. If you buy the replicas I'd suggest just getting the OTKs unless youre really short.

>>7207739
links to the black collars and headdresses? Nice haul, anon!

>>7202044
Deets on socks pls, kind anon.

>>7207858
taobao socks and wristcuffs

>>7207739
Wow. I want everything minus the shoes.

trusting what i heard about milanoos morph suits. bought this for leona

>>7209062
>trusting
>milanoo
>in the same sentence
>gif related

>>7209083
ive heard that they have good morph suits. dill got her's for (i dont remember which) some batman character (black bat?? idk)

>>7209092
I've gotten 2 from them, actually. Both were fine. Like realistically, unless it's missing an arm or a foot, how bad can you screw up a morph suit.

I feel your shame cgl, but I admit to this

>>7209099
>how bad can you screw up a morph suit
How bad can Milanoo screw up anything

I don't have a gif that will work here.

But if it (surprisingly) works, than good for you for beating the system.

>>7209111
Admittingly, I've had to still tailor each of the suits, but I image that to be expected from any morph suit, really.

Here's a really old pic of the suit after I tailored it. Still fits fine and looks good for the cheap price it was.

R.I.P that suit though, After a blistering hot day at Anime North the paint from the belt rubbed all over the suit and I was never able to remove it.

>>7209139
>tailor a morph suit
Wait what?
I thought those things like....fit you to a tee.
Like a dive suit or something.

>>7209145
If you're average sized.

If you have some really small measurements in certain areas, it's given that they will be saggy areas for the suit. I normally order a size medium so it fits my height, but all of my other measurements tend to fit a small or xs. So all of my suits I've had to alter certain areas such as the arms/hands because my arms are sticks and I have small hands.

check your average-sized privilege

>>7209168
>average sized
YOU HURT ME DILL.
YOU HURT ME BAD.

But I guess that makes sense. On cosplay websites I'm within an inch of all the "sized" measurements.

>>7201007

Source of sailor sweater...? ;_;

>>7201007
>SS Bolts socks
Hashtag swag.

>>7196353
Updated, figured that I should add everything I've been waiting on. The green IW jsk has shipped, Japonica is holding the pink and grey JSKs.

Been almost two months for the Jellyfish skirt due to sizing issues, over two months for Dear Celine to finish my blouses.

I'm waiting on a belt and some leather pouches and a pair of boots I ordered, hopefully they're good quality.

Gone full derp on Melty Cream Donut, and got some Bodyline things that I wanted to check out. I need to stop buying pinks because they never match each other.

I just won some auctions last night. Can't wait to get this stuff onto my body.

Still waiting on Melty Cream Donut but that should be here in a day or two.

>>7184763
I've had a black shiny leotard sitting in my shopping cart for over 2 weeks now. I'm impatient as fuck and I really want to order it but I keep telling myself to wait off until Cyber Monday

it better be worth it

>>7209518
>dat chocolate bar skirt
Sorry I don't know the real name of it. It's the cutest!

>>7209518
Oo gurl, you get the choco rosette off yahoo? I bid on it too heh

>>7209702
Royal chocolate. Either the first or second release, dont feel like checking right now.

>>7209702
The whole Royal Chocolate series is wonderful and sustains me.

>>7209702
It's an Angelic Pretty's Royal Chocolate skirt (first release.)
I've been dying to get it since I passed up on an auction for the pink version a couple of months back.

>>7209711
Yeah, it was yahoo auctions.
Which bidder were you?

>>7209714
I know how you feel. Gotta say though that the second release high waist skirts are the best thing out of all the releases.

I know that I wanted a bustier for a while and that the skirt is pretty versatile, but I still feel immensely guilty about this purchase.

Oh well. It's babby's first burando - so I'm still pretty excite for it.

This should be coming soon, hopefully before I go back to school so my parents don't have to forward it along to me. Spent more than I should have, but eh it was the exact shade of purple I wanted.

>>7212260
And I'm a retard.

My Taobao order just shipped. Hoping I'll have better luck with EMS than others have recently...

waiting for these things

>>7213760
I want those hangers, but I'm not a royal European.

>>7207739
I adore the hat I bought from Antique Beast ages ago. I hope you enjoy your order!

>>7213768
Not with that attitude

>>7213768
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.325.K8q9HT&id=15674269300

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.

>>7209333
Mmmmn. Those t-strap-strap-strap-straps. Cuuuute.

Waiting for this to come in. Only thing I bought for the month.

>>7201055
Hahaha. I was thinking of getting the same thing for my Mako cosplay.

>>7214114
Ill let ya know how it is when it arrives. hopefully it should be here soon

Yessssss. Come to me preciouses.....

>>7214172
Oh my god! My jealousy is strong with this one...
Source on the bottom left?

My current items are far from exciting, but I finally found some small size, wire free bras that are actually cute.
The moomin scarf is for my mum, glasses for a cosplay, manga because I haven't bought any in years, and the yankee set (that another anon is buying in the Taobao thread).
...And I've yet to start on christmas gifts. Sigh.

>>7214195
If that's a onespo set in the bottom right, rock on~
I have the white "MEET" varsity jacket and skirt set, and it's really awesome, although the skirt is way short.

>>7214220
A knockoff unfortunately, but it is indeed a onespo design! I am a sucker for their sets.
Haha- I am thinking that the skirt is just going gather dust in my wardrobe. I'm not sure how it fits in the 'winter range' either!

The ETC tights should arrive on saturday. The rest is just stuff my SS currently has from auctions.
Very excited for my donut stuff and the choco cardigan!

>>7214195

The dress on the bottom left is Luna Rosa's - End of the Vanitas JSK

I'll review it when I get it anon!

>>7214172
Would you mind reviewing the CEL dress when you get it?

Elastic thread, and some spandex clothing to wear under my armor.

Currently waiting on this - I'm so not supposed to be buying things but it will fit into my wardrobe perfectly, plus it's a wishlist dress for a decent price.

>>7209369
I know that feel with nonmatching colours that should match - I have the same issue with dark reds/wine/maroon/whatever the hell the brand calls it. At least the melty cream donut items will match!

>>7211141
Don't feel guilty (unless the money was supposed to go to bills/necessities, in which case you should)
It looks pretty versatile in and out of lolita, actually - I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear out of it.

>>7212736
Your magic tea party haul looks pretty decent! Where's the purple blouse in the middle from?

>>7214278
Omg that adorable pastry jewelry

I finally bought a chiffon blouse. Too bad it's getting too cold to wear it. I also wanted this necklace for the longest time. I would wear it with Baby's Claudia dress if I owned it. One day.

>>7214278
Nice file name lol. I'm really jealous of how cute everything looks together. I'm especially jealous of the skirt in the middle. It's ETC?

Taobao has replaced my F21 addiction.

Metamorphose Marine Border in Navy~

>>7213760
Ooh, I love that HMHM jsk!

>>7214356
I'm a sucker for embroidered pieces... Blouse is here:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=4711401904&spm=2014.12317209.0.0

excited about my items!
I'm trying to get into otome kei & buy items to fill some gaps in my wardrobe.

>>7214556
Me too anon!

>>7214367
The ones that arent the whipped cream earings are actually bag charms but I might make them into necklaces hehe

>>7214476
Thanks! And yes its ETC though its actually ETC lulu. Size 140 fits me so I just went for it

Excited to have some gold Vivienne's, other than that it's a donut overload.

>>7214967
That q-pot belt
hnnggggg

>>7214967
damn dude, 2 OPs and a JSK?

>>7214285

Sure anon!

>>7214967
Where can I get dat skirt from? :o

Some generic cute stuff, got the socks in both blue and pink

>>7214172
>>7214285


Okay, here is my CEL dress review. I also posted a more detailed one on EGL. THe quality is great, the materials great, the print is nice and crisp, and the construction is lovely.

My only complaint is the bust darts are not made for a larger bust. I am a 34 DDD and it looks like an empire waist on me when worn. I will probably end up selling it so let me know if you are interested. The measurements are L: Bust96; Waist 76 , Length 95cm

>>7215513

A close up of the print to show how crisp it is.

>>7215513

Here is my egl review:
http://egl.livejournal.com/19428232.html

>>7214999
It's actually a bracelet, it sort of just wraps around your wrist.
>>7215001
Yeah, I don't know if the OP is going to fit me well because of my bust so I got a backup.. I love this donut series more than i should.
>>7215040
That skirt is from a brand called Amavel

>>7215565
2 of the same OP? You sure you're not scalping?

>>7215570
Oh! Nono i'm modifying one to hav short sleeves

>>7190777
is that chris? he looks a little small
