/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I just got this email in regards to my print, my engrish game isn't too strong, can anyone explain this to me? Thanks!

>>7328764
they want you to make it large and able to repeat over and over again. the edges of that print lines up so that the print lines up when they need to print many yards

>>7328775
also give space for hem. if you are using photoshop you can change the resolution of your canvas by cm, instead of pixels.

>>7328764

Alrightly, let's see what we have here.

1. The striped border needs to repeat. IE, end with a cream stripe on the left and a brown stripe on the right.
2. The design apparently has to be extended by 8cm for the hem.
3. Too many colors?
4. Something about repeating.
5. The file name has to include the width and height in cm.

>>7328764
1. I think they want you to make sure the edges of the print match up
2. You have to leave 8cm of edge so they can hem it without compromising the border print
3. Colour format should be RGB (instead of CMYK or other formats)
4. Image resolution stuff (I'm surprised the dpi's so low, usually it's 300)
5. The file title should be the print name and then the dimensions

>>7328775
>>7328780
>>7328782
>>7328789
Thanks a lot everyone! I am not extremely good when it comes to resizing images but Photoshop is really simple for that!

>>7328764
Is this your print design, or is this just an example they gave you?

>>7328764
Sorry but this is really tacky and looks like the bad prints Bodyline already has. It's not too bad now, but when they make it into a actual tubey and unflattering dress, yikes.

You're talented at drawing though.

>>7328805
>>7328807
This is just an example they sent me, it was part of the file they sent.

>>7328782
>>7328789
Do they want me to resize the print to 148cm? That seems kind of crazy huge

>>7328817
No wonder it looked like the stuff they already have then. Oh dear.

Sorry to be mean, anon. Which design is yours?

>>7328823
seems like it. it's probably not as bad as you think though seeing as vertically you're supposed to stack it so that you're really only supposed to blow it up to 74 cm vertically.

>>7328848
Hmm. It's a border print, so I guess I should just copy the border across the bottom and add the plan part to up to the top?

>>7328764
Looks like we're to expect that messy cake print thing to be made into an actual print.

>>7328817
Omg. That's awesome! Please tell me what is your design? Anticipation is killing me!

>>7328855
>>7328848
Ok they sent me a new email saying it should be 140 cm height by 74 cm length and to put the design along the bottom and upside down on the top, does this sound correct?

>>7329031
Yes that sounds right
What is your submission I'm so nosy, let it be the peach one please

>>7328905
It would be so awesome if they got rid of all the busy random dots and pies and made vertical cutlery going between each striped ribbon instead

>>7328764
They are seem to be aiming for japanese artists now too, the japanese version of the text makes more sense.

>>7329317
but I can't read moon runes

A- anon should say which design they have! We want to know...

>>7328155
>>7328150
>>7328244
>>7328249
I love these. I- I really want someone to make these into dresses and skirts or something if Bodyline (most likely) won't.

>>7328939
>>7328817

seconding. pleaaaaaaseeee

Reposting my response from the last thread since I didn't realize we had a new thread

>>7328092
The purple I'd agree is much too saturated. Something like pic related?
This is looking great. I like what you did with the sweet and gothic.

How do you intend to have the image be around the skirt? Are you going to draw it to repeat in a loop around? Are you going to have it blocked in multiple sections around it? Are you going to have it just once in the middle of the front (I hope not)?

If you're not going to loop it, I think that you should get the grass on the righthand side to be more rounded. The left has a good curve to it, but the right is just boxed off.

The background also needs some interest. Perhaps an all over print of little clusters of flowers that are in a slightly darker/lighter shade than the block color?

>>7329536
I'm the anon who designed those prints. I'm gonna put them up on spoonflower after the contest is done so everyone who wants a skirt can just buy the fabric and commission one.

>>7328823
148cm is the standard width for wide fabric. I imagine they'll want the border mirrored down both edges so that they can cut that skirts back to back to save fabric.

>>7328760
fatty can't even make it off the ground

Are Bodyline shoes even worth it? I found some pretty cute shoes and I wa planing on buying them but I have read both that they are ugly, clownish and bad constructed; and that they are pretty OK for the price.
>Captcha: andspyon and
That's what I was trying captcha

>>7329908
Which shoes?

>>7329909
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/photos/shoes274-2.jpg?1/26/2014%208:59:04%20AM
This ones. I couldn't find any specific revies on them but I found plenty of general reviews on Bodyline shoes.
Also, pardon for my bad english, it's not my first language and I'm sleepy.

>>7329913
OT, but I find it funny when people EFL speakers apologize for their bad English, considering it's often not all that bad. I wish native speakers would do this.

>>7329919
* when EFL speakers

Case in point.

>>7329908
>>7329913
Oh! Also forgot to mention I'm quite rough on shoes so they aren't going to last a lot anyways.

>>7329913
I also want to know about the pink in these shoes? They look like a nude shoe. Is that just the lighting and they're pink, or are they actually that color?

>>7330451
I have it, they are pink, not nude

>>7330462
Do you have any pics?

Also, how well do these boots and the longer version fit? I want them in pink, but my feet are size 25.5. Neither of the pinks are in stock and I was wondering if I could fit into 25.0?

>>7330477
not that anon, but go up not down. Especially if you wear socks/tights. I wouldnt risk it.

>>7330477

>>7330498
Meant to quote >>7330462

>>7330451

My girlfriend has them, they're a really weird colour. I'll see if she has a worn photo.

>>7330477
not really a lolita person, but those shoes are to die for

>>7330451
>>7330462
>>7330498
>>7330509
That still looks nude, am I missing something? Is it the same material as these shoes? Is the pink at all similar?

>>7330477
>>7330516
There's a girl in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread who is selling a black pair of these in 25.5 here >>7316029

>>7330552
Ah, well they're the longer version. I prefer them long anyway.

>>7330498
Are they comfortable?

>>7330489
I don't mind if the shoes are a bit snug and I don't have any wiggle room. I have some bodyline shoes that are miles too big for me, and even when I downsized, they were still too big.

>>7330547

They're definitely a strange sort of brown pink. I'd say a pinker nude.

>>7330560

Not that anon, but I have them in brown and they are so so comfortable. I think they're the comfiest shoes I have.

Are we ever going see that print?!

>>7330477
here's some pics of shoes270 aka the longer version. I got them in 250 since I have chubby legs but I usually wear 245 or 8.5 wide.

>>7331962
forgot pic

Bodyline lucky pack came in. Feel the ita and buyer's remorse with me.

>>7330560
Yes, I wear them a lot and they are super comfortable

>>7330570
0.o
did you measure your foot size before you bought them? Or are you just giving shitty advice on purpose. with lolita, if you actually know your shoe size and consider the size of an otk/socks layer, youre better off .5cm too big than .5 cm too tight.

>>7332199
jfc
>wa lolita
>tartan
>fruits parlour replica
>wat is even that blouse
rofl nice anon.

>>7332199
I'm so sorry.

>>7331966
How well do they fit foot-wise?

>>7332224
I'm guessing you're not a frequent bodyline shoe buyer? The problem is, the boots I want (In my size AND the size up) are out of stock. Therefore I was wondering if I could downsize. I'm not giving advice? I'm asking whether these boots are bang on the size they say, or if they're a little bigger.

Also
>0.o
We don't do that here, anon.

>>7332242
>>7332231
Almost would have taken those 17 sleeves. Almost.

Also the weird shirt/dress thing is like spandex?

just got bodyline's lucky pack!
I got an uglyass tarten jsk, and this.
the flowers were squished in the mail. and it looks really plain on the bottom. flowers are detachable

>>7332304
thank god these sleeves are detachable because holy fucking shit they are cutting off circulation and fuck they're stuck
who the hell is this tiny, I'm underweight what the fuck more do they want

>>7332304
You only got two things? Bodyline said on their website that you're meant to get five things.

>>7332304
>l179
One of Bodyline's pieces that always looks bad.

>>7332325
I wonder if each detachable flower counts as its own item.

>>7332325
oh, no, I got a petti, the white x pink dress, and a bag.
>>7332337
I think it would look cute if you added some things and had an underskirt, but even so it blatantly screams "bodyline"

>>7332199
>mfw I almost impulse bought that red tartan dress because I wanted something to wear for christmas

>>7332304
this thing is so fucking horrible I'm not even going to take it out of the package

Has anybody got a cosplay lucky pack yet and received it? I feel like you're less likely to get straight up shit in a cosplay LP and get more variety because there's so much in the cosplay section that's cheap as fuck.

Just received the Bodyline lucky pack.
I'll never trust you again, Mr Yan.

>>7332411
>two of the same dress

my fucking sides

>>7332411
Tbh, I think this might be the best one I have seen so far.

I... why would you buy a Bodyline lucky pack at all? Some things are okay, but most are complete shit and it completely baffles me why you'd take that gamble.

Like, no offense intended, but why?

>>7332426
teh lulz XDDD

>>7332426
resale value, chance to try new things, I could alter the hell outta the dresses as well.

>>7332426
Boredom and I love lucky packs. Tbh I really didn't think it through. Plus ordered back when it said 5 dresses 2 pairs of socks ect before Mr. Yan edited it so I was fucked.
I curse that old bald man's head.

>>7332452
This. Fuck that bitch.

>>7332381
It also contains the "halloween costumes" and "lingerie"

Glad multiple people got their LPs today, hopefully that means mine is coming soon? Even though I'm becoming increasingly worried that I'll be stuck with an ita terror seeing as this wave of packs seems markedly worse than the last...

>>7332417
Really? I like http://ladylaelae.tumblr.com/post/73540036747/bodyline-luckypack-contents
the best, in terms of wearable content

>>7332460
Mine came today, too, but missed the delivery... guess i'll have to stop by the post office tomorrow...

>>7332411
I think that tartan one would actually be pretty cute without the bow. That colorway works okay.

>>7332460
>>7332463
I ordered mine on the 1st and I still haven't gotten it...I hope mine is coming soon.

>>7332455
I wouldn't mind getting a few halloween costumes, to be honest. They come in use around halloween time. I have no halloween costumes, and I wouldn't mind a few in case I get invited to a party or something.

>>7332471
This. I'd much rather wear something like pic related to a halloween party than my frills, or a costume from a shop that costs $50.
I've liked the cosplay reviews (on rakuten) more than the lolita ones there. I wish I got a cosplay one now. A lot of people have been getting maid dresses and seifukus.

ah, that's surfer's paradise isn't it? Soul building is so cool at night. Too bad Surfer's is pretty shit.

sage for offtopic

>>7332471
>>7332477
Now that I think about it, I think I'd want halloween costumes over shitty ita tartan dresses. At least you can sell sexy slutty halloween costumes online for $15 and people will think it's a good deal. Itas don't want tartan. They want crazy lace monsters.

Not gonna lie. I do like this costume.

>>7332255
on the bright side, that wa lolita thing is easily resellable to some ita, and the tartan isnt the worst thing ever. At least its red instead of poopy brown or something.

>>7332350
use the fabric to make some headbows/wrist cuffs/etc?

>>7332452
just make a paypal claim with the original image, saying you didnt recieve everything they stated on the site would be there? rofl

If anybody's bought the cosplay LP and gets the Alice halloween dress >>7332477 then I'll be willing to buy it!

>>7332426
I have no fucking clue either. Bodyline is hit or miss in general, of course they're going to send the crap sitting at the back of their warehouse in their "lucky packs." It's the only way to make a profit on their dusty stock.

>>7332411
>>7332466

I've had that tartan JSK before.
It is actually nice without the bow, it has sparkly threads running through it too, but not in your face kinda sparkly. It's made of thin material though.

I would've kept it but it was too big for me and the shape of the skirt is off, I think. Maybe the skirt of it was too long, or maybe I just had to tie the back lacing so tight..

in other news, along with my bodyline Lucky Pack, I ordered a new pair of OTKs to replace the ones my boyfriend damaged by putting in the wash with an all black laundry load

>>7332523
Get them wet and stretch them. Seriously pull on those fuckers until you think they'll rip.

>>7332523
Boyfriends. They live alone for years and survive just fine, but as soon as you move in with them, they forget how laundry machines and dish washers work. Mine dyed our ivory, hotel-grade bedsheets bright fucking pink because the threw them in with a red t-shirt while I was out of town.

He also puts pots on top of our Pyrex pans because he seems to forget that water doesn't pass through glass the way light does.

Sage for off-topic, but goddamn it grinds my gears.

>>7332528
I'm six feet. Otks come mid knee, and knee high socks fully stretched will be knee high socks, other than that they come a little bit above mid calf

>>7332526
This is why.you don't date man children

>>7332526
as soon as I moved in with mine, he turned ultra lazy and wont even do the dishes or cook, even when I'm sick.
I fucking passed out at the stove before. and when I woke up he yelled at me to take better care of myself.
I was so fucking mad

>>7332199
Go to Cosplay.com and they'll snatch that Walolita dress up fast if you price it $40 or so.

>>7332528
whoa
does this work with other socks?
im getting a bit annoyed lately with otks becoming utks since im 6 foot as well
just started wearing tights under socks, fuck it

>>7332536
Mine's not *that* bad. He just doesn't seem to remember how these two specific appliances work, even after years of having to deal with them by himself. The only other problem we've had in that vein is that I had to teach him how to mop tile floors, because he'd never lived anywhere that wasn't fully carpeted before we moved in together.

I personally was squicked out about that, because. Carpet in the bathroom? Around your shower? Ew. Mildew just waiting to happen.

>>7332544
just dont post it for sale on YOUR comm's page, it may seem easy but you dont want anyone else in the comm wearing it rofl.

>>7332544
>>7332555
Seconding both of these. You could also ebay it and tag spam the hell out of the title.

>>7332552
It can damage them or warp the print on the socks, but I've done them with plain OTKs and turned them into thigh highs with this method. You might need a little sock glue or tape, but sure it can work. It's just stretching the fibres in the socks. Works with any clothes, really.

>>7332552
You CAN do this, but just know that if you try this with brand socks, they probably won't be re-sellable. Or if you do try this, you'll only be able to sell them for 25% of the price you usually would due to them being 'damaged'.

Any worn pics of l218?

>>7332526
That's okay, my mother dyed my beautiful green flannel sheets (which I paid over $100 for the set) a disgusting greyish pink color, because she added bleach to the load after I'd started the washer, and then decided she needed to wash her fucking red socks all of a sudden.

The woman has been doing laundry for well over 40 years. Why.

I feel like this is a lot of us waiting on LPs.

>>7332571
oh yeah, i was thinking about doing it to my cheaper taobao socks. I'm not willing to destroy resale value, even though they are just socks ._.

>>7333210
oh my lord that gif is so perfect.

>>7332199
>>7332411

Would either of you mind parting with the replica fruits parlour tote? (I have a weeaboo cousin with a birthday coming up and she'd go apeshit over it)

>>7333327
You're not fooling anybody, anon. We all know you want one for your bodyline fruits parlour replica dress.

>>7333327
I have it in pink. how much are you willing to pay for it?

>>7328764
i kind of want to make a design but i don't know how to get it all even and such?? can you do it on pts or what.

I got an email back from bodyline, I was a bit confused if we were meant to design a dress along with the print since so many seagulls were sending dress ideas with the print so I asked them to clarify.

Response:"I am sorry you to be confused about this contest. This contest is a textile design contest only.

I feel your design is very cute and princessy"

Pretty basic response but it kinda makes me lol over all those anons who were mooning over the moon print a while back and wanting it to be made in several cuts when they really just want the print - and the moon one was pretty boring compared to what they're apparently looking for. chances are it won't be made I guess?

>>7333490
BODYLINE JUST WANTS TO MAKE PRINCESS DREAMS COME TRUE.

If anybody was wondering what was in a bodyline lucky pack.

I got a shitty petti too. A cute tartan school skirt, two white shirts, a union jack bag and a random Len cosplay, even though I only got the top and not the shorts. But yeah, there you go.

>>7333612
*Cosplay lucky pack.

>>7333612
oh my god

>>7333612
Is pic related or...?

>>7333619
Yes. Pic is very related. I thought I was getting some sort of tartan outfit thing from the uniform section. Open it up and... well, you can see.

>>7333612
This is the other stuff I got.

I hate to post while everyone's talking about "lucky" packs and stuff but i'm gonna be doing lolita for the first time in a bit and being the poor fuck I am i'm gonna be ordering off of Bodyline.

I wanna do sweet lolita (over done I know) but I don't wanna look like an ita while doing so.

Any suggested stuff from bodyline that could fall under the sweet lolita tag?

>>7333624
I like the seifuku and the bag looks okay, for a casual non-lolita bag. Weird how you only got the top to the Len cosplay. I'd ask bodyline about that and see if they'll send you the rest of it. Maybe then you can sell it online if you don't want it.

>>7333622
I... I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry, anon...
At least you'll never run out of stereotypical tartan schoolgirl bows

>>7333631
Almost everything bodyline churns out is sweet.

>>7333632
I jinxed myself. I was saying to my mum the other week how a poor girl got a packet full of sleeves, and how I'd probably be unlucky enough to get a packet full of bows. Here I am. Hahaha. It was a good laugh. My house is usually pretty glum, so for everyone's spirits to be lifted from my misfortune was well worth the £30.
Now I wait for my other stuff to get here. I ordered a seifuku and a maid dress too, but they didn't come at the same time. Ah well.

>>7333612
I want some of those bows. Particularily the light pink

Can anybody help me figure out what the hell these are? Or even what they're from... They were mixed in with the 15 bows.

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/bbq.html

Bodyline posted their BBQ report. Wow, Bodyline is really shitting on big brands claiming their quality is the same.

>>7333646
>that is why everyone likes shopping in japan for good quality,even in a 100 yen shop,cheap but good. Of course you can't say a 100yen spoon is better than 10000yen spoon,but for the price it is good enough quality.

Whaaaat the fuck bodyline? This is about clothes, not fucking spoons.

>>7333640
look like some sort of waist tie or belt

>>7333646
>We talked about the design contest. One customer sent us a chocolate rabbit print, it is a very nice idea and we will choose it.

CHOCOLATE RABBIT PRINT IS OUR PRINT. NO CELESTIAL MOONS ):

>>7333624
Tartan in everything... lolita LPs... cosplay LPs...
Tartanline...

>>7333646
>We love australia.
D'aww.
Also I watched 47 Ronin the other day and I couldn't stop think of Mr.Yan as the Shogun. Pic related, not the best picture but the only one I can find.

>>7333631
You can get better stuff off Taobao or even 2ndhand brand or check Baby's outlet sale

>>7333661
It's a conspiracy...
Bodyline is working for a secret government and the symbol of being within that circle is tartan. So they shipped out lots of tartan to gain members.

>>7333666
fucking dropped it. Also if anyone intends on watching it because Rick Genest is in it don't he has 2 lines and appears for about 12 seconds.

>>7333646
God damn it ever since the venus incident bodyline has kinda been stealing my heart. They just seem like 'the little brand that tries'. They seem to earnestly be attempting to overcome that whole 'creepy mr. yan' aspect they've kept for years - I guess venus's antics to try and make money off it sort of made them put their foot down? I know they're cheap but at least they seem to be trying to listen to their customers - better than soe of the black listing I've heard btssb has been doing lately.

Anyone know what's the deal behind him standing next to the girl in AP in the last pic btw?

>>7333646
s..size 6L??

>>7333701
It only sounds bad because they skip sizing by twos.
2L, 4L, 6L. So basically they're making an XL size. Do you freak out at mall shops with plus size sections or something?

>>7333717
6L would be like XXXL. Yes, I think that's gross.

>>7333727
Gr8 b8 m8, but let's not get the thread derailed please even if that is your honest opinion.

>>7333727
well not exactly xxxl.

to be honest their 2L size varies drastically from a large to a xxl based on standard sizes. I think they need a more uniform way of sizing things in general.

>>7333698
They're cheap and they know it. At least they seem to be trying and actually talking about issues that have been brought up by customers. I can appreciate the work they are trying to do.

I really wish they would get a better photographer though. I appreciate that they dont do a lot of editing, because you can CLEARLY see when some dresses look like they are made of shitty fabric, but it would nice to just see a better presentation.

>>7333646
That chart at the bottom.

They're trying so hard to dissuade everyone from buying Taobao.

>>7333646
>no moon print
>no deer skull print
>more sweet vomit when BL's classic pieces always look nicer than their sweet prints

>>7333646
>the mix of feels from this post

They seem nice but....still silly.
I hope they do make another trip to Australia and host in Brisbane instead, though I understand they were visiting GC for the beaches and attractions they actually have.

So the princess-dream-making obession Yan has IS true

"dream come true project tea party etc."

Wait till he starts referring to his customers as his princess daughters ahahaha

I'm really pushing this but I refined the cat print design

>>7333698
Yeah, but their attempts to overcome their reputation kind of dig them into deeper hole. Made a lucky pack and filled it with shit (no, I don't even mean the sleeves, I mean girls getting the same cheapo dress twice, bunch of bows, stripey leggings with lolita pack). Posted their version of the story with Venus telling she stinks - um, no, that's not what they should do to redeem themselves. It's like they genuinely want to act like a 'grown up' serious company, but fail hard because they have absolutely no idea what is proper behavior and what is not.

>>7333747
That's kinda weird. I always thought some of their things (like tights in punk section) come from the same manufacturer as Taobao. I keep seeing same tights on ebay, aliexpress and bodyline.

>>7333763
It still looks pretty plain, it also looks kind of too animu kawaii. Itas will swarm on that like flies on shit.

>>7333698
The girl in AP is a girl in the Brisbane comm -- apparently a day or two after the meet in GC she was in the city and Mr Yan spotted her, went up to her and asked questions + took photos and everything. She posted about it on the comm page

>>7332559
>>7332555
>>7332544
If it doesn't sell on ebay I'll list it on cosplay.com. Thanks for the suggestions!
>>7333327
Sorry anon already promised it to my cousin. If she ends up changing her mind I'll let you know.

>>7333653
Which one is the chocolate rabbit print? The other rabbitx2 and cat and rabbit print don't have any chocolate...

>>7333763
To be honest it'd look better if you added pupils or something. Right now they look a little plain for some reason?

>>7333646
I love how he claims Taobao brands are shit quality, seems like he can't handle competition.

>>7333727
>XXXL
No it's not, quit exaggerating.

>>7333653
>>7333841
If it was mine, I wonder who sent it in since I didn't.

>>7333917
oh god, those bunnies freak me out. They look like live bunnies covered in chocolate... or was that intented?

>>7333917
Wow, I'm pretty sure he is talking about this. Have you posted it in one of the earlier threads?

>>7333926
Yes, in the first thread that was about the print contest saying that it probably would become shitty when vectorized for BL.

>>7333935
And in the worst case, everything is also uploaded on pixiv and in the worst case, I can sue both the thief or BL with "無断転載などはお断りしています"

>>7333917
Cute!
Though I wish you didnt do that bright white shines everywhere, theyre a bit too distracting

>>7333917
Didn't you say you sent it to bodyline in the last thread?

>>7333988
No.

>>7333990
I remember you saying you did, and you dumped the other pictures of cute rabbits you drew.

>>7333991
>>7333990
Yeah I remember this as well. Unless you personally stole all the artwork from 九つ pixiv account.

>>7333991
>>7333994
No, I didn't, my post was 7296070 and I only said I dump some print concepts and that I am too lazy to make them the proper size for printing since they are mainly copic marker drawings and look bad when vectorized.

>>7333999
>Since my prints weren't taken, I think you guys may be better at making something sweet enaugh for Bodyline, I will provide some of my drawings.

>>7334002
>Melting chocolate bunny print anon from few threads ago. I already start to think that they want prints that attract those OMG KAWAII DEZU kind of people, didn't like anything I posted here.

>Oh well.

>>7334002
>>7334004
>>7333999

>>7333999
You must have stolen from the pixiv account then because all the rabbits etc you posted >>7334006
on 九つ account say they were drawn digitally with SAI not copic markers.

>>7333917
They look bloody and scary, would not buy/10.

>>7334002
>>7334004
>>7334006
Forgot about that, sorry but I didn't send them in a high resolution version so I do not think that they could use anything for a print, also I got no mail since their first response. I usually only make small illustrations for my work at haycorns so I am no good at making images big.

>>7334009
I said most were made with markers, not all.

>>7334020
>>7334018
I don't believe you now at all, sorry.

>>7334018
If you sent it to bodyline then they are free to use it, so I think you accidentally screwed yourself over. We all knew this was kind of just a scam to get prints out of people.

>>7334025
Didn't put コピック at the drawing descriptions on pixiv for no reason.

I sent in this print and mine got accepted. I'm also >>7328764 Sorry I didn't post this sooner it was on my laptop at a friends' house.

>>7334018
Maybe they just didn't email you yet? It took them like a week to email me and they sent me all the infos about a week later as well.

>>7334040
Listen, I guess I just don't get how one could forget that they sent in prints even if you didn't send it hi res you acted like they didn't even have access to it.

Also I'm agreeing with >>7334036, since you sent them the print it's pretty much impossible for you to actually sue them because you gave up your rights to it.

>>7334043
>this got accepted
Sorry, but what a joke.

>>7334047
I just noticed this isn't the completed design I sent it. Sorry if you don't like it.

>>7334045
I didn't act like if they have no access to it but with knowing everything was too small anyways, I did not think it was possible to get it printed.

I probably only forgot because I do much writting when being online but I am not at /cgl/ daily.

>>7334047
Is that some kind of sick joke?

>>7334050
Really, I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean, but it's just so bad. If they wanted a cake print like this they should have just released another dress with the same commercial fabric they did earlier.

>>7334074
How many cake prints did Bodyline make already btw? I already think every second print of them is desserts.

>>7334074
Not that anon but I don't think it's all that bad?

>>7334050
Why don't you post the completed one then, anon?

>>7334074
Sorry you don't like it, I just threw it together in a few hours, so it's not a big deal.

>>7334077
Nah, I don't really care enough.

>>7333640
this is almost as good as the sleeves

>>7333640
Isn't that a choker from this dress?

>>7334092
Seems so.

>>7333917
Demon chocolate bunnies! Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see what they'll come up with.

>>7333612
Has anyone seen the tie or skirt on Bodyline in that dark pink plaid color? I can't seem to find it.

>>7334124

>>7333640
>>7334092
I confirm, they are. A friend of mine bought this dress unfortunately.

>>7334139
Ouch. Well this sucks. On top of this, all I found were the skirts themselves with terrible ties.

Deer skull print anon here. I'm sad my print didn't win but it was to be expected since it wasn't sweet, haha.
Anyways, since there have been moderate interest in my print, I decided I'd just go ahead and give the full size files to anyone who wants them for spoonflower etc. The only thing I want in return is credit for the design.
Leave your e-mail here or on my tumblr bitstupidart.tumblr.com. Specify which color you want too.

Got my LP yesterday. Wasnt expecting much, but at least I didnt got the fucking bunny ita dress.

>>7334235
Would buy that skirt from you

>>7333612
Interested in unloading any of those, anon?

I've been wanting to get a few bows like these, but I just... was too lazy.

If you want to get rid of some though, I'd be glad to buy them off you.

>>7333612
You'll be able to turn on the Len profit on cosplay sale groups pretty well.

Some of the best wigs to order from bodyline?
captha: sinned elatedph
don't strike me for cheap wigs.

>>7333646
>Another customer suggested we inprove our english

no shit, bodyline.

>>7334139
Wow, Skirt Hirari much?

>>7334476
They also said taobao quality is bad. Wtf? The quality is far better than bodyline, sometimes comparable to brand.

>>7334538
Yeah, Bodyline was really shitting on Taobao, probably because it's their biggest competition.

Taobao has generally better quality for around the same prices. They also have more photos, allowing users to see what the damn dress actually looks like. They also sometimes have custom sizing. Overall Taobao is better, but it's more of a hassle to order from.

So, it says that there were two designs that they liked but the designers didn't know how to process them or whatever for prints. Is that anyone here?
Curious.

Also I am the one offering to print a mass amount if there is enough interest in a print. What prints are people interested in? I am personally really into this one but would be open to the other colorways.

>>7334528
It's a cosplay of that.

>>7334528
Bodyline makes idol cosplay all the time

>>7333646

>that insinuation that taobao shops to make their stuff look good and that's the only thing that makes taobao look good

lel

>>7334544
I really like that one too! I was also really into the purple/pink colourway.

Are these new or am I slow? They look pretty cute in the stock photo.

>>7334565
You're pretty slow. They've been there for a few months now.

>>7334277
It's a fucking tulle petti bro

>>7334577
Would still buy, sandy-chan

Hello i was wondering if the maid outfits run small?
I'm 32-24-36 and I'm not sure if i should get a small or a medium

>>7334180
did you mention in the other thread that you'd be willing to sew skirts fro that, or am I thinking of someone else?

>>7334593
Yup, if we don't have enough people to buy it all. It will be something simple though with a simple waist band. I can only buy 150 yards so I don't expect it to sell out!
By the way if the person who made the print we use if you want you can get a cut or something but I wasn't planning on earning money on this venture.

>>7334587
get a medium

How large does the print have to be? My file is 1500 px wide when it's not repeated, ist hat too small?

>>7334043
Had a little bit of faith in Bodyline until I saw this..

>>7334476
I think it would be more important that they don't let Mr. Yan fuck up the main page all the time, right now it looks like if it was made in notepad and before that Venus drama it was pretty much perfect with their creepy cute layout.

>>7334604
thank you ^_^

But the print contest isn't over yet, right? We can still submit entries, even though they already picked a couple?

My attempt at a sweet fish print, anyway.

Picked up my LP today; yes, kind of disappointed.

>>7334043
were'nt you doing this as a joke?

fucking bodyline's tastses

>>7334793
>>7334660
>>7334047

Here is the actual print guys. I did sort of do it as a joke, but I sent this in and it actually got it.

did y'all see this part of mr. yan's post?

about the design contest:
> Sometimes we will forget to send present to winner and we do not wish for anyone to think we are stealing designs. Please contact us before posting about it and we will send you the present.

>>7334947
Yes, forget...
Oh, Yandy.

>>7332513
This is what I thought of the whole thing, rofl. I feel bad for people who actually thought they might get cute things with the packs.

>>7332378
I- I actually like the saxon version if it was worn just as a sundress or something. It looks like it would be a good dress if it wasn't tartan though...

>>7334544
I really liked it in the black/red and lavender/pink

>>7334602
Would def buy simple skirts of that if in a colorway I want and good construction for the price. I have 0 sewing skills.

>>7334947
Looks like chocolate bunny anon is getting the shaft by yan already...

I finished my print

>>7334997
You should add Penus in exploding.

Anyone wanting to sell their plain dresses from their LP? I want the black and and white versions. Willing to pay about $15-$20 + shipping. Email is in field.

>>7334999
which photo of venus should I use? you're right, I should ad the exploding car as well

>>7334997
I didn't want to laugh but oh man my sides.

>>7334997
This is amazing!

>>7334997
if you submitted this, mr. yan would shut down all international orders

>>7335257
ill submit for you, anon ;)

>>7335280
And share the response!

for improvements on >>7334997
any suggestions? I want it to be the best it can be
also, I tried making nadia look like a hug pillow to the best of my ability, if anyone wants to improve on it so it looks more pillow shaped, here's the photo

>>7335293
The backdrop should be white sheets.

>>7335293
Round off the edges a bit and keep the lines from being perfect. A real pillow isn't a perfect rectangle. Also, if it's at all possible, maybe follow the crease lines in the background and shade around her body where the creases would go.

>>7335296
I couldn't find perfect white sheets. I wanted to get hug-pillow background sheets but thats what I did at best
>>7335325
I'll shoop it when I have time.

>>7333640
Everyone else is so wrong.

Anon, you lucky lady, you've got ita friendship necklaces for you and your 13 closest comm mates.

>>7335350
This!!!

Bow/chocker anon, please have like a ita meetup and maybe do something with these as a joke. 10/10

>>7333640
Wait, this IS bow-anon, right? Holy shit.

>>7335350
I'm a lone lolita unfortunately. ): I'm probably going to put the bows in with dresses I sell. It's not like schoolgirl bows are bad? As for the ita friendship necklaces... I'll get creative. Don't worry.

>>7335367
I would if my local comm wasn't backwards and already looked like itas.

>>7335371
Yes.

>>7333763
put this on spoon flower and I will buy it
Dem cats be kawaii.
I do admit some pupils would be nice tho.

Do they still make the Love Nadia skirt or is it just out of stock?

Wait, y'all are doing this for a 'gift'!? Bodyline doesn't pay you to use the print or royalties? Seriously girls? You'll be much better off selling it to a Taobao brand. One brand pays 1500rmb initial payment for the rights to use the design, and 30 rmb off each dress sold. There's also a renewable payment of 2000 rmb if it's popular enough for a rerelease plus royalties again.

Hi everyone, i just finished colouring this.
Still deciding on other supplementary motifs/patterns to go with the illustration. Oh god, I hope the colours are working... aauuughhh

Sadly, the design does not repeat. If my design doesn't get accepted I'm thinking about revising it and releasing a vectorised version of it later on spoonflower or something.

Anyway I'm going to work on the dress design now.

>>7335609
that mushroom on the right looks like a penis ejaculating to me
im sorry. its really nice i just can't unsee it

>>7335609
Holy shit anon. You should be getting paid for this.

>>7335609
Those are cute penises.

Dude, don't do it, it'll be forever known as the penis print. Or do it, I mean, it's Bodyline. You'd make a good joke out of it.

>>7335614
>>7335623

>>7335623
it can't be more phallic than the "kuritorisu" dress with the mushrooms going up squirrels' (or cats'?) butts. it will be legendary if they make it.

>>7335614
HAHAHAHAA oh anon hahaha. I'm suuuper paranoid about subconsciously drawing phallic imagery so I passed this drawing around to a few male friends if they could detect any dickery. Thanks for pointing it out though, I can easily change the shape of it :)

>>7335617
Ah...I wish...It's a little dream of mine to design prints for lolita. Sadly, I'm pretty much a no-name illustrator just trying to get my work out there. One day maybe I'll get paid for this haha

>>7330554
are you still interested? I'm the girl who was selling them, left my e-mail in the field

>>7334602
Deerskull print anon here again. I might as wel put on my trip to avoid more confusion but the post youre talking about wasnt me. i have 0 sewing skills so i was only offering the design
>>7334593
could you contact me by email or tumblr? i would love to work with you. im not looking for a profit from this either but i wont refuse a cut since i am working two jobs and still only barely getting by. id just really love to see lolis wearing my design. i might even make more.
sorry fr typos/lack of capitalization, im posting from my phone

>>7333834
wait so he had an event on the gold coast most people couldn't make because it was so far then went up to brisbane anyways? That's.....poor planning.

>>7335293
I tried making one for you where it looked a bit more like it was printed on a body pillow! Like you I couldn't find a good white sheets texture though sorry.
If you see any way I could improve it tell me and I can fix it.

>>7335796
thank you, you amazing person. I'll get to work

>>7335609
Oh so pretty, I'd buy it in green and run in the forest with it. We definitly need more fairies too.

>>7335802
No problem! I can't wait to see the final version of the print.

>>7335802
Thanks anon!
/r/ing mr yan cuddling with the pillow on the print

Oh hey, it's me from >>7334680 again.

This time it's a revamp of Bayberry Chickadee (yeah, that was also me with the bird print a couple threads ago if you were watching then). Fancier and improved and with berries that actually look like bayberries rather than circles.

>>7335815
>judging harshly

>>7335862
Dropped pic

>>7335796
thanks stormy!

>>7335863
>>7335862
more like
>can see the other side of the pillow

>>7335866
Oh my fucking gods. This is glorious!

>>7335866
can we have some snowboarding yan too?

>>7335909
maybe I'll make a new yan print tommorow, featuring snowboarding yan, in a winter style print. not sure what else to add other than snowboarding yan. any suggestions?

>>7332199
If you're selling that red tartan dress, I'll buy it. I kind of want it as a sundress.

>>7333624
Same for the school uniform! I've been meaning to order that off the Bodyline site anyway so if you're willing to part with it, let me know!

>>7335915
PLEASE add some Venus.

Maybe also Yan crashing his car and Yan popping up in the back of a lolita's car. Yan/Car print pls. Yan in van?

>>7335976
make sure to have venus doing her mouth excercises

use the same background as she used in her stupid bodyline rant video?

Guys, Error-Anon here.
Recap: After purchasing my BL order through paypal, I was redirected to BL site to confirm order. I got pic related when I hit confirm.
The order and receipt of all the items went through paypal and the money has been reduced from my bank.
I did not get a confirmation email nor tracking from Bodyline.

I put the order through at 1am-3am on January 24th
I sent an email asking about confirmation at 2pm later that day at the r@bodyline.co.jp email.

It is now five days later and I haven't gotten any emails from them. I am checking my spam folder every time I check my email.

Did I send my email to the wrong address? I was told that if it went through to paypal that it should be fine, but I've heard of bodyline shipment waits that extend past the paypal dispute cutoff.

Should I send more emails? How long should I wait between emails? How long should I wait before opening a paypal dispute?

>>7336022
I would file a dispute saying there was an error in confirming the transaction along with that screenshot.

>>7336035
Should I file the dispute right away? I'd prefer to confirm with Bodyline that the order did or didn't go through, and make a dispute if they never get back to me.
If it ends up that it went through just fine and my order is on the way, I wouldn't want to cancel it.

I just don't know how long I should wait or how annoying I should be with emails.
But you think I shouldn't wait at all?

>>7336022
Have you tried sending it to c@bodyline.co.jp?

>>7336051
I sent to r@ since that was the email on my paypal receipt under the title Customer Service Email.
I assumed that c@ was just for the design contest. I can send the email there too.

>>7336060
I send my problems to c@ and they get back to me from there.

>>7336062
Roger that! Sending the email now.

>>7336062
fun fact. c@bodyline is mr yans email.

>>7335523
What brand?

Does that mean the Design Contest is over?
If not could maybe someone do a kawaii emblem kind of thing with a unicorn like pic related but all rainbow-pastel
I'd love to have some really sweet military lolita that doesn't have a fucking random desert print!

>>7335004

>>7335523
Umn, I contacted quite a few taobao brands already and they don't pay you anything besides the product as gift, not to mention that you need proper chinese skills.

>>7336323
She's obviously lying.

>>7336138
>>7336323
>>7336326
Chess Story or KL I'm guessing, they make the most money and are the only ones who do reruns. KL's shop owner made 6 figures in rmb in her second year of business. It was posted on the Chinese equivalent of /cgl/, anonymous drama board. The OP was talking about questionable business practises and ridiculous profit margins of taobao brands. I know for a fact Jellyfish's designer didn't get royalties because the dress was only based on her concept art and KL's own designer drew the final print.

But it still is ridiculous you're all willing to give away all rights and no royalties for some shitty gift. Commercial designs should be selling for 4k rmb at least if they're buying it outright.

>>7336476
I want to read this Chinese CGL link pls

>>7336476
btw people can use the design thing for their art resume you know

>>7336483
here, lorp.miniban.cn. But all the drama is coded and mostly in reference to the baidu forums and weibo so you have to be really prolific in both to understand everything. All the shops and dramacows have nicknames, it moves even slower than /cgl/, and Chinese web slang is rampant. So if you're not a native speaker and in touch with the Chinese community you won't understand anything. Everything is archived though, but threads aren't bumped with replies, just in order of posting. But if you flip far back enough you can find gems like unshopped candids of Kyohari etc. (not very special, but not that ugly either)

>>7335758
Whoops I didn't realize I messed up the quotes on this. They're the other way around obviously.

>>7336503
>lorp.miniban.cn
aww its so much cuter than ours

>>7336484
You don't need permission to use a piece you made in your portfolio besides, don't pull that shit as if it's a replacement for being paid.

Anyone who received their Lucky Pack in the last few days: Was your tracking info stuck the whole time? I'm one of the anons that posted a few days ago that my tracking info hasn't moved since the 14th, when it purports that my LP left Japan. It's now the 29th, it still hasn't updated and I still haven't received anything. I'm almost regretting not paying the $200 to get EMS shipping at this point.

>>7336321
Those shoes don't go with that outfit at all, or is it just me?

>>7336503
>lorp.miniban.cn
please post a candid of unshopped Kiyohari

>>7336551
Its not like if she wouldnt uploaded non-editted stuff of herself anyways.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RktMjoAxUYE

>>7336550
considering venus had to dress herself, and considering that venus has shit taste, yes. Those shoes do not match at all.

>>7336545
For me, tracking was stuck from the 13th to the 23rd, stating that it was in Tokyo. Then on the 24th, it updated to say that it had reached LA on the 21st. After that it only updated when the package was delivered.

>>7336545
I'm in the same boat as you, anon. I bought a few things from BL on Jan1st and then bought a Cosplay LP and Lolita LP when they started offering them in certain sizes. My stuff was finally shipped out on the 14th and on the 25th the LP order updated that it landed in the United States. The order I made on Jan 1st still hasn't updated and is making me nervous that it was possibly detained or lost. I just hope if that is the case... that it remains frozen on that portion of shipment so BL will refund me.

>>7336503
I found some threads about lostnatsu, but my chinese is too bad to understand anything, do you happen know what the drama is about?

>>7336541
Why are you so obsessed with us making prints for free. It's our choices if we want to or not.

>>7336854
ayrt, I wasn't even the first anon- just pointing out that excuse is bullshit.

Fattychans rejoice! We can beg them to make certain dresses in larger sizes!!

I'm personally going to be spamming them to make blouses with larger busts. And maybe some longer skirts.

What are you anons going to request to be bigger?

>>7336984
yeah but who gives a shit? people put out all kinds of free materials anyway. If you're an artist and you want to draw some free shit? thats cool. If you don't thats cool too.

If you want to sell your shit to companies, go for it! but dont tell other people what to do or what not to do you cunt.

>>7337098
I'm personally a medium in their size, but if someone makes a generic email we could spam them for certain pieces, I'd gladly do it on the 3 or so different emails I have. Just want to be helpful for my fellow Lolitas. ; v;

>>7337165
You're completely misunderstanding the point, it has nothing to do with what the artist themselves wants to do, but with building up the kind of expectations you see a LOT that anyone should be entitled to get free shit from an artist. "Because they can use it in their portfolio" isn't an excuse not to pay an artist you want work from.

Anyone sending prints in to Bodyline (should) already know that they're essentially doing charity work for the sake of other lolitas (or themselves) if they want something to get made on mass scale so they can buy it and don't care about the profits. But in other cases, it's a shitty excuse for free labor.

>>7337226
That would be very kind of you!! I'll compile a list of items I'd like to see in larger sizes and I'll be sure to post it here.

>>7336613
Another anon here with the same problem. I ordered an lp and some items on the 2nd and my tracking hasn't updated since the 14th and is stuck at "preparing origin post"
Should I email bl about this or file a Paypal claim or something ? I want my lp damnit.

>>7337098

And these costumes in size T4L:

>>7337323
Okay! Do we just send these to the c@bodyline.co.jp email, or is there another one to message to? I've never bothered to email them before, so I don't know if there is a preferred email. That one is on the front page for print designs, though.

>>7337265
I'm another anon that had this problem, my LP left customs on the 25th but didn't update until today.

So I'm really annoyed about my print making progress at the moment. I keep having to modify everything over and over and they're just sending me directions in broken english that I don't understand. I'm about to just fucking give up.

>>7337484
Oh, what's your print like? (I like to think I'm fairly good at translating that broken english, if that would help any...)

>>7337098
Personally, I want a small! The mediums are too big for me. So frustrating, especially with the skirts! They slide down to my hips.I modify them thinner for me, but I wish I didn't have to.

I'm fine with bigger sizes being addressed before smaller sizes though, because it's easier for the customer to customize something smaller than to make it bigger

>>7337484
Show us your print ffs.

>>7337591
Same here, but with OP's... I wish they had more of them that started at like, an 83-86cm bust instead of 90's and up...

>>7337265
I got my LP, but I haven't gotten my other bodyline package. Urghhh.

Ordered a LP out of curiosity after seeing the unattached sleeves and hoping to at least get a giggle.
Mail was fast, but despite specifically ordering a lolita lucky bag, the heaviest contents appear to be from the cosplay section (Jacket and pants of costume503).
Ah well, such is the price of curiosity and I was prepared for disappointment. To mail them about it or to just suck it up...

>>7338167
Pics?

>>7338236
Well, here's a photo of the jacket and blouse I got (not pictured the pants, since they're just black knee-length with blue satin ribbon at the legs, or the red fruits parlor replica bag that was there also.)
From what I gather after a bit of google image searching, it's apparently parts from what attempts to be a Ciel Phantomhive costume. The jacket lacks the chain, though (it has stisches in the spots where it's supposed to attach, but it wasn't present in the package) and the blouse is something entirely else.
Blouse's also stained at the collar, I wonder if this is one of them "defective products lucky bag"?

>>7338263
Ah well. Mailed Bodyline for clarification and got a very fast reply. Apparently all LP's ordered after January 12 are indeed defective product lucky bags regardless of category and, well, got what I ordered :)

>>7338263
The jacket actually looks pretty nice. Not sure if the jacket is lopsided at the bottom or not though.

I got a mail from Bodyline about specific things they wanted me to change about the print and things they wanted me to add, so here is v2 I guess.

They also need 5 colorways, so I'm still missing one. Here is the colors that I have made so far (ignore that it is the old version of the print). ANy suggestions for the last color?

YESSSSS you were posting with just the bunnies, I was scared you scrapped the cats.
Anon you are doing god's work

I will buy the hell out of this. Normally this kind of thing would be a bit too sweet for me but I've been waiting for a not creepy, not ugly cat print forEVER and I love this blue color. Cannot wait.

>>7338428
I hope they do the black... It's getting too sweet, but it's still super cute, so I want it.

Did they only want the cat/bunny or do they want both of the versions you made?

Yeah, I guess just post it in the "email" area that is further down the front page. I don't see any particular email addresses set aside for this. Thank you again!

Oh! Okay, I sent three emails, so I hope that helps.

Yeeeee, so they did pick yours! Thank goodness. I was thinking they'd only picked ugly designs, considering it is Bodyline.
Lovely work, anon. I hope they do the print justice with the dress's overall design, though.
