How about their sailor fukus?
I'm also curious about how accurate their sizes are

I own this dress (L388 on the website) in black, lavender and white, and all three are seriously gorgeous. The princess sleeves it comes with (not pictured here) are a bit much for my taste, but they could help make a great hime coord if you were that way inclined.

Here's meeee c:

>>7218233
I love (and own) the carousel print in black, but hate all other colorways. The colors are so clashy on them...

The Magical Cosmetics skirt however has been one of my favourite items for a long time. Even if it lacks a bit detailing of, say, Rose Toilette, it keeps the similar feel while offering more elegant and vibrant colors.

>>7218280
And here's an example of Xylia rocking it

What do you guys think of this? I'd love to start a classic art print/OTT classic wardrobe. I'm concerned how shiny this is, though.

>>7218325
I really wouldn't recommend it. It looks bad in the thumbnail and looks bad in the large photo.

>>7218233
>>7218280
I agree, it looks cheap in any other colorway. Sorry self-post anon :(

>>7218325
The print isn't terrible if you like the painting-style prints (though the fact tha the stock picture's print is off-center bugs the hell out of me), but the bodice and neckline are just so plain and unflattering. The only way I could personally see this as wearable would be to alter it to be a skirt, maybe high waist with some tasteful, complementary ribboning...

>want to selfpost because I'm geniunely proud of my bodyline coord that my boyfriend and I worked together on putting together
>it will end so badly

Just bought bodyline's love jewelry skirt in sax with bow but now I have no clue what to do with it, any ideas r co-ords involving it?

>>7218459
>it will end so badly
What makes you say that? Unless it's not good or you've got vendettas floating around, I doubt anyone would rip you apart for self posting.

>>7218466
I can't help but feel these tights would be adorable with it.

>>7218494
Colours would clash horribly.

>>7218494
>buying tights from them

Selfposting two of my favorites. These were a week apart, so maybe that's why I went with the same shoes and parasol. I actually have more sweet prints by Bodyline too but I have never done a decent coord with them.

>>7218466
I don't want to post pictures of myself here, so I'll give you a rundown of what I like to wear with my sax love jewellery skirt:

Pearl accessories are your best friend here. I wear pearl bracelets and a small/ simple pearl necklace, OR I swap the necklace out for a pearl headband (wearing both looks a bit too much). I have some cream VW shoes that have a pearl ankle strap so I usually also wear those.

I also have a very simple cream blouse which has pearl detailing on the collar, and across the chest. I'm personally not a fan of your typical frilly sweet blouses, so I would suggest going with a white/ ivory/ cream classic style blouse, something elegant and simple. I feel like this skirt, while sweet, has a certain opulent, classic feel to it. Although if sweet is your thing, something with puffy sleeves could look nice, maybe even a light pink blouse with some dark pink accent ribbons.

I have a blue blazer that matches perfectly with the blue of the skirt, and I like to wear a brooch with pearls on it clipped to the lapel.

I hope some of this was useful!

>>7218233
Anyone got any good coords with the carousel dress? Any colour is fine, I've just never seen it look great.

>>7218503
What's wrong with them?

>>7218507
Thanks so much! I will search for pearl items! I want to try sweet so I might try a puffy blouse but we will see.

>>7218494
>has things printed with Mucha's artwork
>design copyright Rose Trianon
wat
No. Bad.

>>7218325
Collageanon made a really pretty coord with this actually! It's in the coord thread.


Also, here's a BL skirt for contribution.

>>7218325
A girl in our comm wore the "sister" dress to that today to a meet up and it looked great.
It wasn't too shiny and it seemed to be a popular hit among everybody.

I'd imagine the fabric is the same so if you're worried about that you should be fine.
I'll ask if I can post a picture of her later or just blank her face out.

>>7218610
This skirt is a good example of a good bodyline replica. When BL gets their hands on non-custom fabric like this or the VM stuff that Tokyo Rebel couldn't give away and sticks to a simple or tried design it's superior to what they are usually cranking out.

>>7218325
get the fanplusfriend one instead, it looks way better imo

Would love to see this worn. L088

>>7218506
>dat b&w skirt
Fuck, that has been the number one item I regret not buying from them. I absolutely love it. You're rockin it well, too!

>>7218973
Thanks! It's one of my "dream" Bodyline items (so weird to have Bodyline as a dream item). It's really lovely in person too! I recently got it in pink as well.

>>7218973
It's an AP replica, I believe. You could possibly find the real thing on Mbok or something.

>>7218610
That coord is adorable.
Thank you to the anon who started this thread.

>>7218280
>>7218363
really? I own it in yellow and it looks great in that colorway.

Selfpost, this coord is from quite a few months ago, I really like this jsk

>>7219093
get darker make up and some concealer, girl. You'll be real kawaii.

>>7218225
Love it!

>>7219093
Sorry, which dress is that?

>>7218325
I actually really like this.

>>7219108
l329

>>7218973
I agree completely. It's so cute. I'm a sucker for tasteful old school black with white lace, hhh.

>>7219093
How tall are you ?

>>7219130
5'2

>>7219093
I have this and can't seem to make it look full enough. I only have a cupcake petti, so I've never tried an A-line with it. Would you say an A-line looks better with this?
The petticoat I have works with other dresses, but seems to make this one appear so flat and dull.

>>7218233
Hey, aren't you the girl with the stained skirt from LSE?

>>7218349
I see.

>>7218367
A person in the other thread was thinking the same thing! It seems like something a good tailor could do.

>>7218673
I'd love to see it in natural light! I love that print too.

>>7218726
Do you have the link?

This is the "sister dress", by the way.

>>7219022
Any idea what it might be called? Someone else speculated that it's a Baby replica.

Bl model contest is over, any idea what the winning models look like?

>>7219638

Names were posted in the other Bodyline thread. >>7219246
Why are there two Bodyline threads?

>>7219586
I own the "sister" dress and it's not very shiny. The material is silky and soft and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it from people, including other lolitas.
If this other dress is anything like mine than I'd say go for it and just coord it nice enough that it will mask anything you may be concerned about.

>>7219638
mathildaz on tumblr is one of the winners

hope it works, dunno how 4chin is about links. i personally am a sweet but am in love with this. love theme is pretty.

>>7219768
Rachel is cun-tagious on Tumblr, I think but I never have seen her wear lolita.

>>7219786
Mathilda is RainbowtoSunshine on YouTube.

I tried on the cosmetics skirt (although I bought it from a girl who sewed 2 of them together)

>>7219801
well that solves the fullness problem their skirts tend to have, I suppose.

>>7219801
Change the stockings/shoes and you've got yourself a damn good chord there, indie.

>>7219801
Maybe it's just me, but that is way way too much skirt. Would've worked better if she'd sewed together a skirt and a half, maybe.

>>7219801
Personally I love the amount of skirt. It's dramatic. Awesome.

>>7219783

4chan isn't a fan of links. Thanks for doing it! The colors aren't my thing, but wouldn't the cupid dress work for sweet?

>>7219786
Oh god I hope not. This girl aint even kawaii

>>7219801
So much skirt I can't really see the print...

>>7219907
I'll try to mod the skirt then. The waist was the main issue and I'd like to wear this casually as it's bodyline and too much petti for a classroom.

>>7220201
I think it'd be much cuter as a solid color than a printed skirt.

>>7219190
I think I saw you ask about this in another Bodyline thread a while ago (cos I chimed in asking for help too)

I'm wearing the CP bell shaped petti here, and I had to rearrange the skirt portion at the back to make the front almost sit right, there's still a big fold in the skirt in the front, making it not as full as it should be.

>>7219093
How do we poof :(

>>7219801
>dat skirt

I'm not sure if gusta... Maybe with an A-line petti?

>>7220731
>>7219190
I'm >>7219093, in this photo I'm wearing the CP bell petty also, and generally I have to rearrange it a bit, pull the sides so they flare out more. I ave yet to try it with more than one petti, but that'll probably do it

Here's my chocoberry coord. I have a red AP bolero on its way to me, I also have red shoes and a strawberry bag that I coord with it sometimes, when I feel like a little more red.

>>7220147
>cupid
am i drunk???? whats going on.
what cupid dress.
help

>>7221505

The sister dress to the gondola Bodyline dress. It's been posted in this thread already.

Are we self posting bodyline outfits?

This dress is a pain in the ass to wear, and then I lost weight and now it's impossible to wear pretty much. Please excuse hideous wig.

>>7220731
>>7220979
Yes, that was me in another Bodyline thread. I wear the CP petti as well, along with a not-so-full petti underneath. Maybe it's just one of those dresses that has too much skirt.

Thanks for the responses guys!

>>7221588
BUT WHAT THE FUCK DID CUPID HAVE TO DO WITH THIS SHIT

>>7221804
i swear to god every time i see this it makes me regret it more and more that I sold my Love Nadia OP.

>>7221625
is that the strapless one? my friend got that because he's tasteless, but i'm surprised that it can actually look good! love the classic feel.

>>7222485
Not the person you're all capsing at but I think the cupid dress is this one >>7219586 because it has cupid/angels on it.

>>7222527
my god, thank you, i was so confused. it just looks like a mess of colors to me.

>>7222838
whoops, i forgot to say its bc i didnt zoom/open image since i already knew what it was. my bad. sorry for caps. etc etc.

>>7218941
I had a white OP similar to this from bodyline L-094-2, came with detachable sleeves, (so it looks like yours without them) and it was shit, I ended up selling it back

I don't really know what I'm trying to say here sorry like it looks like they're pretty similar so it might not be great quality

>>7218941
>L088

>>7223034

can i request more L379 coords? ive heard its a good dress but i cant find any good detail shots

>>7223077

>>7223077

>>7222525
>classic feel.
Gurl, what in that picture is classic? That's old school.

>>7223100
I have to agree. Though depending on how it's styled, it could pass for the cutesy-er, sweet-casual hybrids you see sometimes.

>>7221804
Where is her coat from? It's lovely.

>>7218492
I got vendettas floating around who go creepily out of their way to start shit with me.
so yes, will end badly.

>>7223292
Nia?

>>7223038
So cute! Might have to get this one.

>>7223384

Did she get a new boyfriend that quickly? Damn.

>>7223504
oh I had no idea she broke up with the annoying tripfag one? was just guessing based on description/tone

(ps if it is you Nia thank you for ceasing the tripfagging)

sage for offtopic shitstirring..

>>7221037
guurl where did you get the bolero/cardi

Bumping before this gets way off track

>>7223596
Thrifted. Probably my best find to date.

This is the only bodyline thing I own, (skirt) pretty sure I've seen other people rock it better than me though.

>>7223077
I have L378 (OP version) if you want me to take pics of the lace. Also check the Bodyline rakuten for better photos. Seriously Bodyline has different photos for that site.

>>7223533
you heard it nonstop from shitpou every chance he could. but yeah, she did.

>>7223634
If that's you, you're beautiful, marry me

>>7223634
That's cute as fuck. I love it

>>7224038
>b-but Mr.Yan...

>>7224051
A+

Does anyone own a coat from bodyline? The winter temperatures where I live tend to be 5° to -2° so I want something that will actually keep me warm. I hope to invest in a brand coat next year but I have only just started working again so don't currently have the money. Are bodyline coats worth buying? Or should I just look for a loliable offbrand coat?

>>7224111
For that temperature they work just fine, just at everything under -10°c they are shit

>>7224111
C or F? Bodyline coats aren't that warm, but neither are a lot of brand coats. I think either would be ok for 5 to -2 C, especially with other layers. If you want a warmer non-brand lolita coat, I hear F+F coats are very warm with the faux fleece lining option.

>>7224115
Thanks!

>>7224117
Yeah I did mean Celsius. I didn't think of F+F, I'll have a look and see if I like any of theirs better. Thankyou!

>>7223777
will you please? and thanks, ill look that up!

>>7224111
I have this coat, which is nice and a bit too warm for where I live. I get a lot of compliments on it. The only thing I would mention is the lack of pockets. That seems to be a running thing with Bodyline coats.

>>7224244
Actually, most lolita coats seem to lack pockets since japanese girls prefer using handbags anyways.

>>7224218
Here you go!

>>7223634
I have this skirt too! It's the first and only Bodyline item I have. It's so nice that I don't feel inclined to buy an Atelier Pierrot one at all.

>>7224244
What's the weather like where you live?

>>7224244
That cream color looks pretty

>>7219630
It's this one apparently called Scalloped dolly skirt according to hellolace. I'm new so sue me.

Since when does BL have fashion shows in Tokyo?

>>7227352
>http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/htm/show.htm
ita as shit

>>7223034
oh no, not this bitch here...

>>7227382
What's wrong with her?

>>7227583
She's an annoying cheapskate and her coords are so "toned down" and "subtle" they're not even lolita anymore, yet she spams herself like she's the queen of classic.
And her indie brand sucks.

>>7227595
I'm checking out her tumblr right now and I don't know what you're talking about. No experience with her indie brand, but you think full corsets and those crazy shoes are "toned down" and "subtle"? Anyway, that description could be applied to Fanny Rosie (by her own admission), and everyone loves her (deservedly).

>>7224244

Yooooooooo that's cute as fuck, but I don't see it on the site...

>>7226373
I live in GA, where the weather isn't cold even when it's cold. I've worn this when it dropped below 50 degrees before, but I don't often get the chance to wear it.

>>7224248
The more you know!

>>7226801
That's the colorway I have. Personally, I think it's really nice for an off brand coat. It's fully lined and very warm and the fabric feels nice, not cheap.

>>7227821
Oh, I guess they aren't selling it anymore. It's my only experience with Bodyline coats, but for the price, I would definitely buy one again if it were cute.

>>7227595
>>7227583
>>7227797
Oh god, she looks exactly the same on the most of her pictures, her cords are boring too... She has nice hair tho, I wish she did something with them.

>>7226351
I felt the opposite, I hated the fabric and it felt cheap compared to my moitie skirt so I sold it straight away.

>>7227875
I think she looks pretty. God forbid a coord isn't a clusterfuck of accessories.

>>7227906
this
>>7227875
you're trying to hard to start shit.
her coords are plain in an endearing way.

>>7227900
>comparing bodyline to brand

What did you expect?

>>7227948
Well everyone seemed to praise the skirt but yea I hated it. I was comparing it to a really plain moitie skirt, you could tell the bodyline material was really cheap. I wish people would stop recommending bodyline actually as most of their stuff is awful, if it's not the design it's bad fabric choices or bad prints.

>>7227906
>>God forbid a coord isn't a clusterfuck of accessories

I agree with this sentiment so much.

>>7227821
It's probably on the Japanese site judging by the model.

Does the yen conversion trick still work?

>>7228208
It sure did when I used it back in October.

>>7227952
I'm not that experienced yet but to me it seems like you're getting what you pay for. So far I own one IW JSK and a few Bodyline pieces. It certainly doesn't measure up to the IW dress: the fabric is stiffer, there's no lining, etc. But luckily for the pieces I bought, they're not like, Milanoo-tier eye-searing bad.

Sure, I could get similar pieces on auctions/closet child but I needed instant gratification and filling up a cart with a few things was very easy.

It's almost paradoxical because I see Bodyline recommended as a cheap alternative for beginners, yet you need some knowledge (or good taste at least) to avoid the pieces that are painfully ita.

>>7228208
Bought some stuff off the site last week and it worked.
