/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So yeah, as I said in the last thread, I got a mail from Bodyline about specific things they wanted me to change about the catxrabbit print and things they wanted me to add, so v2 is posted here >>7338428. They didn't say anything about the rabbitxrabbit version.

They told me that I need 5 colorways, and 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/preferences for the last color?
I tried white, but that didn't look good.

>>7338444
no pink?

>>7338444

Have you considered changing the color scheme of the rabbit/cat themselves?

>>7338444
The pink and lavender one from the picture you first posted was adorable. Did they not want that one?

>>7338447
>>7338450
The pink and lavender one was for the rabbitxrabbit version, but they didn't say anything about that one, they only replied to me about the cat and rabbit print. The pastel colors looked a lot better with the creamy rabbits as opposed to the greyish cat and rabbit.

>>7338448
Well, I already have changed the color of the rabbit to light creamish color, but I'm not sure if I can do the cat. I can try, but not promising anything. That would make the print fit some more pastel colorways.

>>7338455
Bodyline is making me change a lot of shit with my print also, and it's kind of a pain.

>>7338444
What about a mint or forest green colorway? Or gray maybe?

Excuse my crappy photoshop skills btw, just wanted to give you some input.

I wonder if Mr Yan ever lurks

>>7338491
love that. Would wear.

>>7338444
I'm not too fond of the bottom two, they're just too... clashy. >>7338491 looks good though, and I would love to see something in a more earthly colorway (brown/green/etc.).

>>7338491
shit I'd buy bodyline for this

how about an emerald or forest green? holy fuck if bodyline makes a print of this i will buy the shit out of it

>>7338444
Gray, pink or green are my suggestions.

And like an anon said about fiddling with their colors, maybe change the color of their eyes from print to print for a subtle change?

I'm really excited about this print, anon!

I ordered from Bodyline for the first time in years and got my package today.

I got a headband and they shipped it inside a shoebox. Like a shoebox 4x as big as the headband.
Bodyline no...

>>7338491
thisthisthis

This looks gorgeous, I don't want to buy bodyline clothes anymore because they're so dissapointing. But this, I'd actually buy!

After reading all these threads I had a nightmare last night of the Yandy man. It was horrifying. Thank you /cgl/.

>>7338491
Yeah, I like that too, but that is the bunny print. They didn't pick the bunny, only the one with cat.

>>7338743
So use colors from the bunny version on the cat version.

>>7338723
They ship a fucking headband in a shoebox, but when my bodyline shoes arrive all battered, the only thing protecting them is a plastic stick inside them and the plastic packaging bag.

>>7339364
You probably got them a long time ago, mine were shipped in a shoebox.

>>7338761
>>7338743
>>7338491
Adding to the vote to creamify the cat. It sounds like the color of the animals are really holding you back. You made the rabbit white. Was it really difficult or something? There are white cats too.

I like sweet prints and I like cats, please help me

>>7339369
Nope. Two weeks ago.

Just saw this on the Bodyline front page. Bodyline is gonna expand sizes on some pieces. Is this new news?

>>7339400
Already been over it. Still, it's pretty cool I guess. I wish they'd make smaller sizes too, though.

>>7339400
oh yes, I've wanted some of their more classic looking pieces in bigger sizes.

>>7339400
You think they would be willing to do Tall Medium/Larges?
>>7338444
PINK. That pink you had in the rabbit print I really need.

What are the Bodyline wig qualities like?

>>7339452
They're okay for the price, I bought a few for cosplay. The only issue is that sometimes the scalp area is a bit fuzzy so you have to do a fabric softener soak to fix it.

>>7338491
Yes, grey. Grey and mint and wine are what I want

>>7338444
I would do grey like >>7338491 , then replace the black colorway with pink.

>>7338444
would buy one in every color, holy shit.

>>7338444
If you change the bunny and cat to white and do pink and/or lavender that would be amazing. For the more classic route, I would love to see a calico cat and orangeish bunny on the bottom right colorway. A black cat and black rabbit would look amazing with a dark wine or deep sapphire.

>>7339387
I ordered three pairs of shoes about two weeks ago too, and each arrived in it's own shoe box..

>>7339743
>>7339387
>>7339369
Okay guys, we've determined that sometimes they send boxes sometimes they don't. Just because someone had a different experience doesn't mean the others are lying

>>7339405
>smaller sizes

I want this so bad. Every time I see something I love it's always M so I have to pass. Size S is so rare.
>find gorgeous coat
>size M
>emails bodyline to include size S, please and thank you
>says they'll email me when they do
>years later, still waiting
>tfw

>>7338444
make the red less orangey and more wine

>>7339452
I like them. I have a twin tailed wig from there and it's nice enough quality IF you look after it well, but it tangles pretty easily if you're not grooming it properly.
Pic related. It's the wig I got.

>>7339912
Whoa, this is super cute and natural looking.

>>7339916
It's also one of their more pricey ones at $47 without the yen trick.
I also got one of their rhapsody style wigs for about $11 or something crazy. It's not the thickest of wigs near the scalp, but for the price it's definitely a steal. I'd give it a 7/10 if the original from GLW is going to be a 10.

>>7339935
Aw. The rhapsody wigs on there are more expensive now (27$) and I've always wanted one but GLWs prices are a bit steep for a wig. Especially after I've heard their quality has gone down the drain.

>>7338444
If you can make the cat cream, I'd love a cream or gray color like shown >>7338491 here!

>>7339753
Nobody said anyone was lying. Leap of logic there, anon?

Anyway, yeah, it's been pretty much proven that whether or not you get a shoebox is arbitrary, has been for a while. Really bad luck, >7339364, the worst I've seen from a no-box pair of shoes is a slight scrape/dent on the toe. I feel for you.

Skullprint designer here. I'm editing my print for spoonflower. Could anyone give me pointers as this is all completely new for me? I know I should have the border print on both borders of the fabric (bottom and then upside down on the top so both borders can be used) but how big should the print be, and how far away from the edge? Should I go with bodyline's instructions?
Thanks!

Guise look

>>7340701
I thought they already picked a winner ages ago.

>>7340701
Isn't this super old now...? I remember this screencap from ages ago.

>>7340705
>>7340717
I think they might be more referring to the obnoxious post about it on FB?

>>7340720
But that is old anyways, and she didn't even actually win, she just came to the next stage and then lost.

>>7340720
Right, the cap in that picture, the whole thing, is like months old.

>>7338444
Green for the background and maybe blue/pink for the ribbons.

>>7340701
This was actually a joke. The person that said this has the same name as one of the winners, that's all.

Someone else got their LP

And another LP

>>7341395
>>7341403
That goddamned white JSK. Every time.

>>7341409
I think it's some sort of subliminal message tactic because the more I see it tossed into these packs, the more I want one.

>>7341409
I got it in yellow..
here are my lucky pack contents. only took a photo of the bag because I'm a lazy bastard and the lighting in my room sucks

I want to see more cosplay lucky packs!
I ordered mine a little more than a week ago and I'm excited. It won't arrive any time soon though, sadly.

>>7341466
you want to see cosplay lucky packs?
you're excited?
cosplay lucky packs are so shit, they make the lolita lucky packs look like a godsend

>>7341473
I'm not expecting great quality or anything like that, it's more curiousity's sake. Hoping for a seifuku and some accessories.

>>7341480
Bows, tartan and random pieces of costumes are on the way.

>>7341484
Cool! I can make things from those.

>>7338444
Hey anon, please make a pink colorway?

>>7341518
but more of a dusty rose pink imo

>>7338513
>>7338444
Maybe if she changes the cat and rabbit to this >>7338491 gray color, it will go better with the black.

The brown animals don't go too well with the black in my opinion, but I still really want a black one. Black is my major wardrobe color, and it's more easily made classic, so it would be amazing to have the black...

That or the lavender and pink. I don't even own any sweet stuff, but that colorway would easily make me go for sweet. ; v;

>>7341518
O- oh, that's cute...

I feel obligated to this print with whatever colorways come out, even if it's not my preferred color choice. Assuming Bodyline actually made it well, I just want this after seeing it being made, and having input on the process.

Thank you, original print creator anon, for making this. ; v;

>>7341555
agreed, ill probably buy whatever colorway comes out that i like, hopefully there will be at least a red, black or pink.

Does anyone have the pictures of it being worn? I'm curious how it looks like in real life. I heard it doesn't look that bad at all (especially with the sleeves detached)

>>7338444
Top right is my favourite, followed by the black & red.

>>7338491
I like how this one is subtle.

>>7341454
Is it weird that I like the bag?

>>7338444
I would really like a dark, dark green. I like the left two, and I'd like the right one more if it were more gold instead of orangey on the accents. I think the green would look good with gold accents too.

>>7338444
Anon, the peach and lavender/pink colorways are literally flawless. I'd pay more than Bodyline price for this print. Maybe try collabing with an indie brand?

>>7341466
Yeah, me too! I bought a Cosplay LP in 4L and a Lolita LP in 4L. I'm curious what they will be filled with. It's not like they can give me the smaller ita stuff. So what will they be forced to give me?

>>7342792
its the fruits parlor replica bag. its actually pretty nice and has sparkles. though I'm keeping it in the package because I plan to sell it, along with all of the items on the right. I think I might make a sales post later

>>7338491
This is my favorite.

>>7338444
The two on the right are my second favorites.

I've never bought from bodyline only two items secondhand, and I'm not a 100% sure if I should support them after all of the issues with replicating, find a waifu search and over all dodge-ness. I wanted to buy shoes (I have quite big feet) but I'm not sure if they'll come up for sale secondhand in the right size.

>>7338491
Sooooo lovely

>>7342803
This! These colors and try partnering with an indie brand! It would be so cool if you could partner with krad lanrete, their stuff comes out amazing

>>7341454
ok, so I measured the sleeves. the sleeves had me constrained, and I couldn't move my arms.
they had a maximum circumference of 10 inches, or 25.5 cm

how venus fit into them is beyond me. I'm underweight and could feel my circulation being cut off

>>7342849
by the time you pay for shipping for secondhand shoes of all things, youd be better off buying from bodyline themselves,

Their replicating is as bad as a lot of offbrand things, but at least theyre a cheap alternative for beginners. Their waifu search is also possibly bs.

>>7343164
10 inches isn't all /that/ small... You can be underweight but still have large upper arms. My arms are only 8.5 inches, and I'm average weight.

>>7343206
my arms are thin, I suppose its just the height factor too. even so, it has no stretch, so it would be uncomfortable regardless, and no flexing like a badass lolita gang member

I wish we could get all of the accepted prints to the contest posted somewhere, so we can see who won. Granted, I guess BL is still having artists like bunny and cat-chan doing touch-ups....

>>7343844
>I guess BL is still having artists like bunny and cat-chan doing touch-ups....
Nope and it seems like that they only made the contest in order to get free material, mailed them a couple of times after they wrote about the chocolate bunny print as winner and still got no reply since days, it all smells like one big scam so they don't need to hire artists.

>>7344695
Noo, say it isn't so. I was really looking forward to the bunny/cat print, but I'd feel dirty giving BL my money if artist-anon gets nothing out of it.

>>7344726
I really hope not too, I'd totally buy that print to support the artist (and it's fucking cute)

>>7344695
Bunny and cat anon here, they did come back to me about the changes they wanted, and I sent it with back with the changes the 31st so it hasn't been thaat long. They do take a bit time to answer.

The changes they wanted wasn't really that big unlike >>7338488, but if they keep asking me to change it I'm gonna drop it tbh. I don't have time to play around with them just for a free dress... I have only sent them low-res pictures so far anyways, and I'm not sending the big pictures until they confirm that I'm one of the winners. I remember that they stole the design of this jacket some years ago during the first design contest they had:
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=8057&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_1&noSubType=N

>>7344695
>it seems like that they only made the contest in order to get free material

You don't say.

Can anyone who has the L378 OP tell me how short the waist is? I'm a bit tall(5'8) but I'm wanting to buy the white version and thinking of pairing it with a bustier

>Sent in submission 30 days ago
>Get no reply email for rejection
>Sempai will never notice me

>looser

>>7344858
I got an answer from them. They told me that they wanted more animals, so I told them that we got the drawings from a friend that wanted us to use it for the contest. They told me that everything has to be drawn by ourselves, which means no cat and bunny print for us :/

I can probably send the 148x148cm file to the people that want to print some fabric if they want.

>>7346083
Just lie and let your friend draw shit anyway

>>7346083
lieee anon lieeee you have no idea how much I want a grey version of that print

>>7346083
Just lie. They are so Engrish, just talk around it. No one cares, rofl.

>>7346096
Bwahahaha i cherish your juicy cherry! Tell them the cat and rabbit are your friends!
But srsly, I totally understand wanting to give up. I sent in a preliminary sketch, cus, fuck off I'm not about to be doing some proper croquis and giving them a full design for diddly squat!

>>7346083
Just tell them that you drew the animals TO your friend and after that decided to use them in the print.

But seriously bodyline, are you really asking soemone you entersa nice design for you to use for FREE and then ASK them to draw more stuff on the print. I can accept them wanting different colorways and minor touch ups, but asking you to actually draw more animals. Fuck you bodyline

>>7346198
Yeah, they told me that they wanted 3 different cats and 3 different rabbits, plus a banner with the words 'freedom' (which I just ignored in the 2nd version I sent to them).

>>7346208
what even

i could understand maybe wanting one extra cat and rabbit for variation but fuck that

are you going to try to get around their reply then??

>>7346208
FREEDOM FOR THE PRINCESSES
MR YAN'S SHINING FUTURE FREEDOM

What do you guys think of this? It's in their punk section, and I'm such a sucker for military, but I'd like other people's opinions.

>>7346270
I remember a while ago this was posted and a lot of people said they didn't like the look of the cheap trim.

>>7346270
Eh I sense a nice idea behind it but it just looks cheap and cospayish. If there just weren't those random chains und belts everywhere. Also the trim looks kind of cheap.
It's a pity because I really like the design of the cape and I've been looking for a black cape with golden trim forever but I can't imagine the rest of the outfit looking good being worn. There are better options on taobao or even fanplusfriend anyway which are even less expensive and better quality wise than this, so I don't see why you should spend your money on this.

>>7346270
This is the only person I've ever seen wear that dress. But she's kind of caused me to develop quite a strong sense of loathing for it.

>>7346282
True enough, I suppose it could be removed and replaced with something better, though, as well as the buckles on the torso.

>>7346208
>freedom
>freedom gundam print

My bff will love if any lolita store do a gundam print.

>>7338444
Ivory with a light rose?

>>7338444
Could we get white/silver?
I'm so dissapointed that most of the prints I like from Bodyline are never in white.

>>7346083
LIE

Where is the anon that drew the initial animals? We need you!!!!

Also please nix the freedom thing. Tell them it would be silly and seem very "engrish"

>>7346198
They've been doing this shit to me too, I better get my damn dress.

>>7346270
Nice idea but way too cheap/cosplayish. Reminds me of the older brother's uniform from AoEx.

>>7346309
>freedom gundam
It'd just be gundam

>>7346251
I would love it if a satire design that flew over the judges' heads made it as the winner.

>>7346208
>plus a banner with the words 'freedom'

Can't have a lolita print without random English words, right?

>>7347001
>Elegant Gothic Lolita Aristocrat Vampire Romance
Right

>>7347012
I prefer Bampire Romance.

>>7347018
Mana is so pretty.

>>7347018
Yanpire freedom.

>>7346737
At my original firsts posts were more then aenaugh animals at the scans but Mr. Yan's tacky ita taste ruins everything anyways.

So, I've been checking the former design contests, and apperantly, in 2009, this girl won, spent a day modifying the design to bodyline's standards
and we never saw it.

>>7347072
>>7347072
>>7347072
>>7347072
I agree but please get it made

In light gray plox

>>7347436
This is too cute for Bodyline's shit construction anyway.

>>7347040
someone please make a wannabee moitte print with something like "Kawaii Sugoi Animu Yanpire Princess Chan" on the bottom

idc if the contest is over. please.

>>7338491
Ahhhh this is perfect

question: how often to bodyline stuff NOT get delivered (if that sentence makes any sense at all)

at the end of december i ordered a navy seifuku and its been in tokyo since the 19th (and that was the last update)

>>7347443
Won't happen, Mr. Yan wants a clusterfuck of billion animals at the print after all.

>>7347555
I ordered a seifuku at the end of december too! I got mine the other day though. Sit tight, it'll come eventually.

I just got my unlucky pack today, I filed a dispute though asking for a refund, saying it was not as described, didn't get all the items I was supposed to get. I ended up getting a blouse that's perfect for my latest cosplay plans, but other than that, same old shit. Where do I sell this shit anyways?

>>7348864
There were no items that you were "supposed" to get. And, fuck, if you got a blouse you can use that's one more useable item than the rest of us.

>>7348864
You ordered a bodyline lucky pack - knowing you'd get shit - and filed a dispute? Seriously?
In the future, don't buy shit and you won't receive shit.

>>7348886
>>7348876
Yep, I filed a dispute because I want to profit off of this. And I'm one who ordered thinking that the contents under the LP would be in my pack.

I knew I was getting shit and I planned on it, but bad on Yanny man for not knowing how to use his own website and posting tons of contents for the packs. Paypal has my side and I'll get atleast $30 for each dress. I win.

>>7348890
You sound like a huge cunt and I hope I never have to deal with you on the sales comm.

>>7348864
>>7348890

Trollllllllllll post.

>>7348890
>Yes I'm taking the bait
Even if paypal do side with you, you'll just get your initial cost back, not "$30 for each dress".

If Bodyline have any smarts they'll black list you, I just hope they don't black list us all.

>>7348907
Eh, due to the numerous complaints (ie sleeves and bows) they probably wont do them a scale like this again

or will still say "just ur luck !!!"

>>7348907
>"$30 for each dress".
I'm selling the dresses for that much though.

>>7348899
Don't doubt it.

>>7348890
I feel super ripped off by bl, I was expecting more stuff for my money :( I ordered the day they were released mostly becouse I thought it would be full of stuff but I only got the same 3 dresses as everyone else, a broken blouse,replica tote and the worlds crappiest petticoat. No socks, no op , nothing :( let me know what happens anon !

>>7349839
You are fucking stupid.

>>7347012
ugh, this is my only gripe with this print. they just threw random words at the bottom. it's like the titles for products on easy or ebay.

>>7349932
*etsy

Does anyone have experience with L534? I prefer the style of this JSK to either of Infanta's that use the same fabric, but I can't find any reviews of it. I think I read somewhere that the print fades but I can't remember where.

I like both the navy and green but I'm leaning towards not looking like a casino table.

>>7350474
It's funny because I was saying to a friend recently how much I like the green colorway because it looks like a real casino table. To each their own!

>>7344858
>if they keep asking me to change it I'm gonna drop it tbh
I hope this works out! This print looks amazing. I'd be disappointed if it doesn't go through, but I definitely get that there's a point where all this unpaid charity work is just asking for too much. Good luck, and don't feel too bad if you ditch them!

If you did, maybe you could post your print on spoonflower? Unlike Yan, I am perfectly okay with just two variation. Heck, I'd still love it even if it was the same cat or rabbit all the way around.
You'd definitely inspire me to take my first crack at a dress or skirt.

>>7347001
Hahaha is this cutsew real? That's hilarious.

>>7350924
It's called the El Dorado cutsew. From 2008

>>7350948
>Flying fuck

It got me so bad <3 haha

>>7350586
Same here. Loli card shark.

>>7350474
This cut is so cute... Too bad about that front lacing.

I dont know if anyone remembers me from the other threads talking about the designs and having a direct line to the guy that you guys are all talking to about designs too.

I emailed him last night just asking him whats going on and he did mention there being a lot of people sending in designs and the designers getting upset because they are asking for changes. He also said it was exciting that so many people seem to be interested.

I'm going to say to you people who are actually in contact with them and ACTUALLY drawing these things with your own hands. Being in contact with this guy is a good opportunity to actually get a job. When I won the contest forever ago, i emailed them back randomly and simply asked if I could be hired for art. I got paid.

If you're interested in actually getting your art out there on dresses with bodyline, ask them at least. Some of you talented artist will make a few extra bucks for something that isnt that labor intensive (at least it wasnt for me. Working with reduced colors was pretty easy and only took me maybe a day of work.)

>>7344695
>>7344858

The CONTEST was for free material. Of course. It's not exactly hidden that they are expecting you to come up with a design that they get to use for free.

It wasn't a secret.

You have the option to say "Sorry I can't change it" and see what happens. You can ask them if they will hire you. You can tell them to eat a dick and produce it on spoonflower. You also could try to collaborate and maybe try to work with what they are asking.


For me, when i entered the contest, it was really just a dream of mine. I use to just sit at home and draw prints for the hell of it. There was some little indie brand that offered me a job and nothing ever got produced. So to even win that contest was pretty awesome. I never even actually got the dress (I didn't wear lolita much then but I was a huge admirer).

Sorry for the long post.

>>7347555
it's because of the backlog after Christmas. It got scanned as departed but was probably still waiting for a plane. It'll turn up soon (mine was stuck at that for a couple of weeks but then suddenly appeared in my country, although it hasn't updated since then)

>>7351603
Actually, it's not really a free material contest. The winner is supposed to be "paid" with a dress. If they don't give you the dress, then they don't have the rights to the print, because they haven't "bought" it from you.

>>7352079
Yeah, nah. You're really naive if you think you have any rights in this contest. Especially when we're talking about Bodyline.

>>7352079
If you're not an official winner. And you're just sending in designs to them just because you want that design made, they probably don't even owe you a dress.

If I were anyone doing that, I would double check they would even send you a dress. Otherwise yes, you are doing this for free, and yes they can use the designs if they feel like it.

I.. actually want one of these.

>>7351603
just out of curiousity, how much did they pay you?
I'm assuming that you were the anon who talked about designing the cherry print that got made out of one of the previous contests?

>>7353308
So...buy it?

>>7353403
The problem is what would I even do with it and would it look ita as shit for anything I attempted.

>>7353428
Wear it as something not lolita...? Do you not know how to dress yourself otherwise?

I actually really want to buy an L.P. and use the clothes in there as goal dresses or tights. I'm losing weight so I can wear proper Lolita and i feel if i can fit into regular body line I'm good to go. and that way it's just cheap Lolita so nothing lost if i don't love it. I'm on my phone, what is the price/guidelines. I dunno, does it sound like a stupid idea?

>>7353469
Yes, it does sound like a stupid idea. Why waste money on dress you may not even like? If you're going to have a goal dress, just buy something nicer second hand, fururun has dresses for 4000 yen and less quite regularly.

>>7353428
Well, I'm not sure it would work many ways for Lolita but it's cute to wear otherwise.
If you are building a Lolita wardrobe though I'm not sure it would be a wise piece. I just thought it was a cute quirky piece for regular punk or goth street wear.

>>7353308
Have fun looking like shit.

>>7353335
I got about $80 for simple designs on a tee shirt and about $200 for prints. They were quick to say yes so I probably could have pushed for more. But I set those prices and I was more interested in getting my ideas made.

Like I said previously, I used to sit and draw designs and prints out if boredom. Handing them to bodyline for not a whole lot didn't bother me.

Though I think now if I got back into it 8 would ask for a bit more since my art has improved and is worth more.

>>7353495

Where to fuck do people find all this cheap brand? Like, I check fairly regularly. I am just a poor anon who wants my first dress. I barely find bodyline for $40!

>>7339428
They listed T sizes as possibilities. I've requested a few. Deff need more of these in their already listed sizes. I think it's likely if enough request them. It's certainly (usually) easier to add length than redraft the entire pattern bigger for the super XL sizes they list. Pity they don't lengthen the bodices in proportion in the T sizes though, all they do is add skirt length.

>>7353912
Fururun updates Monday and Tuesday 11pmish Japan time and usually those are their bargain days. Stuff sells within half an hour of going up though

>>7353912
4000 yen is like $45 and they're excluding shipping fees. Its also typically decent brand, but not dresses you'd really want or have on your wish list. Just generic stuff or not really nice looking stuff.

Is it just me or is this actually kind of nice? I wish they'd do more classic pieces.

>>7354990
I've seen it in person. It's really nice.

>>7351948
>>7347555
Ordered some shoes. My tracking number says it departed on Jan 19th, My package was sent on the 12th. Package why aren't you here. I know it says 7-30 days (for Air), but I ordered another pair of shoes in December and they got here in a week.

>>7354990
I've been wanting this dress for a while. I'll probably get it once I get off my lazy ass and make a PP.

>>7347072
>aenaugh
dat engrish

I just wanted to share my lucky pack that i finally received. Not a lick of plaid in the whole thing. I'm super happy with it.

>>7357673
Not awful. Looks like the blouse and skirt are salvageable.

>>7357160
this spelling doesn't even fucking make sense unless their first language is Gaelic..

I wanna see if anyone got punk lucky packs so bad man.

>>7357674
The skirt is a hideous mess.

>>7350474
I have the OP that uses the same fabric in the black colorway, and the fabric is very nice imo! It's fairly thick and the pattern is nice and clean, but then again I haven't put it through any vigorous use or washing (just light steaming)

bodyline pettis are good for casual wear right?

I just want a sort of mild poof to normal skirts and stuff instead of having it just go straight down.

Or do you guys think its still too poofy?

>>7338444
Your design deserves so much better than bodyline, seriously.

General BL question:
What do you think is the very best quality in Bodyline's categories:

JSK:
OP:
Skirt:

Worst?

>>7359290
Yeah, if you buy the most expensive one on the site. If you buy that, you might as well buy a decent casual petti for half the price elsewhere.

>>7359290
I asked this question and was told not to bother with Bodyline petticoats at all. It isn't a matter of being too poofy, it's that they give miserable poof, apparently.

>>7359304
Entirely a matter of my own personal taste, but...

Best:

JSK: Unsure, haven't ordered any of their JSKs.
OP: L310 or L479
Skirt: L353

>>7359314
I think they are all nice.

Can someone tell me what they want me to do on the last part? I don't understand.

>>7360927
The colors ooorrrr?

>>7360952
I don't understand the color part, I can only use 9 different colors? Or what?

>>7360973
Fairly certain they mean that they can only use 9 colors in printing so you need to simplify the colors.

>>7360927
They want less stripes
They don't like the ring of lace
They want something other than a bow
They want fewer colours

I agree on the stripes, you don't want it too busy

>plz make grey colourway

>>7360927
It means the design can only have 9 different colors in it max.

>>7360982
This person is right. Lots of brands work with few colors to save on cost of printing. This is why you see a lot of clip art looking out vectored images

You can try using vector magic and seeing what it looks like if you arent able to vector by hand

>>7361035
>>7361026
But does the white count as a color? They are saying something about that.

>>7361156
If the material isn't white, then I'm going to guess "yes", because they still need to add the white detailing.

>>7361156
they said the material color is off white. so 9 colors to print, so the white won't count as one of the 9.

>>7359304
Based on personal experience, so only referring things I own...

JSK: L417, and also L510 since they seem to be the exact same design.
OP: L479
Skirt: L353

go to bed emily

>>7360927
that bunny looks like a creepy hybrid version of the cat.

They are finally saying the contest is finally over and all designs done.

So did any seagulls win the design contest?

Yanuary's well past over, where are the results at?

>know it'll take time, don't really care, just wanted to say Yanuary

>>7368340
Knowing Mr. Yan's 'soon' they probably will never be shown online till produced, just like how the photos of their new model were announced to be online 'soon' which was in december.

Does anyone have a review of the new sailor moon uniforms? There's a big group doing the scouts for a con and they're looking to get those ones but I don't wanna fork out $70 if it's going to be god awfull and scratchy or a shitty knit T-shirt cotton.

Hey, I got this item in my bodyline luckypack, does anyone know if this is a actual costume design from an anime? If so, what anime is it? It's COSTUME511

>>7370172
Shuffle it's a generically stupid harem anime about a guy who has to marry an angel or a demon to become ruler of heaven or hell. Same boring guy who for some reason is super attractive to ever girl ever.
>disgusting elf ears everywhere

>>7370177
Urgh... lucky me.

>>7370177
That's a shame. It's a cute uniform.

>>7370189
You could wear it as a regular school uniform. I doubt anyone would care.

>>7369882
http://himesally.blogspot.co.at/2013/11/sailor-moon-cosplay.html

>>7370198
Yeah, I'm tempted.

>>7342843
How much are you thinking about selling it for? I really dig the bag but its not on bodylines page.

>>7369882
It would be cheaper to make your own if you're doing a large group.

>>7370208
>>7370189
>>7370190
I know, I really love it myself but that anime is just mindnumbingly bad.

>>7370209
not that anon but I was going to sell mine for $12.

>>7370229
I dunno. I might just keep it for the bedroom. I would hate to go to a convention where people would know the connotations of the anime. Plus, if I just wear it just as a 'cute uniform' I run the possibility of weebs running up to me asking me if I'm cosplaying from that awful show. I'd be embrassed to say I'm just wearing it because I didn't know the show and thought the uniform 'looked cute'.

how often does bodyline restock? i really wanted a kawaii maid outfit in pink but all the good ones are sold out ;_;

>>7370383
Never. Try going on cosmates.

>>7370383
Rarely if ever. Try using the Japanese site and a shopping service or Cosmates (even though they sometimes jack up the prices).

>>7362056
> L417 and L510
You mean this one?
Do you have any worn pictures or know of girls who have coordinated with it? It looks so, so bad here

>>7370383
I'm waiting as well. I want to put this together for NYCC and probably recycle it for Halloween. But if it's not restocked by summer I'll just give up.

>>7371103
Source of the wrist cuffs, please?

>>7371105
Angelic Pretty Lyrical Bunny wristcuffs. You might have to dig through the comm sales or auctions sites for them.

>>7371103
Does anyone have pictures of what that maid dress looks like without the apron?

>>7370383
I really want to order from them, but they're always out ;_;
Please help ;_;

>>7371207
There's nothing we can do, Anon. You've just got to wait and hope.

Anyone know if bodylines shoes are generally the same size in all shoe times. i own shoes251 in 255 and im unsure if their other shoes will fit because i dont really fit other japanese shoes that are 255. Im assuming bodyline doesnt let you try on shoes in store

>>7371728
They are all the same sizes usually but of course a shoe of the same size in a different shape may fit differently.

Has anyone ordered one of the bodyline Sailor Moon seifuku? The detailing looks nice but the sizing is really weird. I'm pretty shapeless but those measurements are ridiculous even for me.

>>7371116
yeah i have one in blue. i'll take a picture of it when i return home on monday but

its literally just a basic dress with a long zipper in the back. the thing that makes it cute is the heart shaped apron that you tie over it

>>7371056
Doing the bustle up kind of ruins it for me, and you know Bodyline's stock photos...they're always worse than it really is. The little ribbon bows aren't the greatest, but they'd be easy to remove.

>>7372577
Are you serious? This question was literally asked not even 30 posts ago. Why come to a thread if you have no intent on actually reading it?

God I hate people who can't even bother to look for shit themselves. Bet you didn't even bother with google did you? This thread + Ctrl + f = your friend. Try again.

>>7371116
It's really simple and the zipper is in the back.

Does anyone have pictures of anything in beige from BL, specifically looking for L329

I would prefer it in Black but the only options left are Beige, Off White and Sax and I'm trying to transition from sweet to more classic.

Also, does anyone have any photos of coords with L257 in brown? Could that work into a classic wardrobe or is the design still too sweet?

In fact, any advice on pieces to look at for switching to classic would be helpful. I am plus size, 101cm bust, 90cm waist and I'm tall so nothing really short.

>>7372602
>>7372940
I appreciate the offers, you two! I was curious about what the construction of the bodice looks like. I was worried that since, as you said, they made it with the intention of covering with an apron, that the bodice would look bad. It looks simple, but not terrible! I kind of like the square neckline. Maybe with some edits; like lace along the darts and up to the neckline or down the middle, or tiny ruffles around the neckline, or a bow, a sash around the waist, ruffles around the hem; it could look pretty nice!
The lace on the sleeves look pretty bad though. Raschel? Does it look pretty easy to rip stitch out?

Where does it hit you guys at your heights? Does it hold a short petticoat okay?

>>7373134
>L329
The only tiny pic I found of it in beige.

Any word on more winners of the print contest yet?

Do any of you guys own the L304 dress? I love the print, but the top half doesn't really look so good.

>>7373385
If your bust is large, the shirring looks weird. I personally really like the dress. It's my favorite BL piece I own. I have pics if you want.

>>7373385
I don't own it, but I've rarely seen it worn well...
And he full shirring looks sorta weird.

>>7373385
If you don't like the top part of the OP you should probably get the skirt. It's L305.

>>7373385
Anything bigger than a M/medium bust and pretty narrow shoulders is going to look off, stretched and odd...search the worn pix and you'll see...I'm surprised they brought it back in the dress style though I think the skirt can be cute.

>>7373385

I saw a loli take out the shirring and recut the top so it looked proper.

I wish I had the pic.

>>7373202
The lace is okay actually, it's not scratchy for me at all.

>>7373202
And to answer your other questions, I think you could rip the lace out okay, this is how it connected to the inside of the sleeve.
And this dress is really, really short on me. I'm about 5'3" and it hits my upper thigh so if I raise my arms my panties show.

>>7373385
The top part is pretty ugly, but it's such a comfy dress. Just get a cute thick belt.

>>7374237
> I'm about 5'3" and it hits my upper thigh so if I raise my arms my panties show.
Yikes! If I get it, I'll be sure to plan on sewing a long ruffle along the hem or wearing an underskirt.

>>7373393
>I have pics if you want.
Yes, please

>>7374779
Here ya go! For reference my bust was about 36 in. (91 cm) and this is a BL M. Cropped because I was wearing some ugly leg wear for this outfit test.

How warm is this? Is it worth the money? (L460)

Have you guys noticed they put some pictures up of the new model girl? I never knew Yan would accept someone so chubby.

>>7378723
>legs

>>7378723
I wouldn't say shes chubby, just a healthy weight. The angle of the camera doesn't help, either. I've noticed that whenever I take a pic at waist or thigh level, that my legs look huge.

>>7378732
She's definitely on the heavier side of healthy. I was just noting that she's got a larger build than most girls that Yan picks, I have nothing against her weight.

>>7378736
her face kind of reminds me of a guinea pig, not sure if that's good or bad?

>>7378735
She's not heavy, anon. Agreed that Mr. Yan usually picks skinny girls but she's average.

I found this gem while hunting for more of the new girl.

The photos look like if they were made with a potato. They want to improve but the quality always getsworse.

>>7378754
>a potato

My sides

>>7378723
She's normal, not chubby.
But she's not thin, like most model, that for sure.
She's also pear shaped, so she doesn't have gracious twig legs.

>>7378723
I find it very interesting that her thighs aren't photoshopped or edited or anything. They're just there in all their veiny naturalness.

>>7378754
I'm just happy they removed the background at least. It's a small improvement. For being so rich, Yan sure is stingy on getting a nice camera.

>>7378738
Oh hey, her thighs look pretty ok here!

>>7378747
looks like my ex boyfriend

>>7378747
>foot blocking what might have been a panty shot

>>7378766
Her skin is super transparent.
The number two downpoint of having a fair skin.

>>7378767
They used to do way better photos few years ago, so...

Pic related.

>>7378723
Are her measurements and height up yet?

>>7378766
Fair skin + cold = this. It sucks

>>7378894
Nope, this time they only use the photos as addition to the mannequin photos, not as replacement.

>>7378726
I...kind of love that wig. Which wig is it? Are bodyline wigs quality?

>>7378911
It is W117 and Bodyline's wigs are nice for the price, better than halloween wigs but not perfect.

>>7378730
>dat animu foot tattoo
>those fucking teeth
>dat facial expression

Will yan ever pick a girl who's actually pretty?

>>7378920
>Will yan ever pick a girl who's actually pretty?
Even the most pretty girl on earth would look shitty at the BL photos, not to mention that she shoops herself to hell and back at all her 'normal' photos and I am sure she sent Bodyline those.

Pic related.

>>7378726
Wow this actually looks cute as a simple going out coord. Well done BL.

>>7378737
Omfg. You're right.
Guinea pigs are cute though so I'm biased.

>>7378948
Oh wtf its $67?!

>>7378912
idk you guys, I think she's really cute.

>>7378966
Doesn't make the photo quality better and the fact that she dresses as Naruto character 24h irl.

I actually wanna get one of their plaid blouses
Whats the consensus on these?
I guess solid coloured dresses are the way to go?

>>7378980
And then maybe convert the jabot into a hairbow

i keep seeing miranda cosgrove

>>7378980
Caution about the arm holes.. the non stretchy ones can be kind of tight for average arm size

I really like L066 in red but i dont like the whole punk lolita.... any ideas of coording not look ita.. or is this a fail.. im also planning on more so using it as a christmas type dress

I really like L066 as a christmas dress but was there any way to make a non punk lolita coord or is it useless?

>>7378980
So much plaid went out in the LP there is that unfortunate association. But if you must then yes, solid JSK and very restrained patterns of any other kind. These are busy, busy.

>>7379027
It doesn't look punk at all, if anything it's a bit oldschool though it's kind of meh. replace some of the lace and probably the buttons and it will look good.

Anyone know about L071? Worn pics even?

>>7379037
I would kindly take it off their hands.
Would prefer red and wear it with black dresses. Like plaid peeking out sort of thing.

>>7379063
If you can't find worn pics, always consider looking at BL's Rakuten.

>>7378730
How can she even stand like this.

>>7378734
>>7378735
Just noticed that you can see her panties through the petti at the blue part.

>>7378951
I really like them too so I'm torn.

>>7379545
Oh wow, you really can.

What's the general consensus on Bodyline shoes' quality versus price?

>>7379068
Yep, with the black lace on the red plaid one and a plain black JSK, it should be kawaii.

>>7379787
I like mine, I have 3 different pairs. RHS sizes run small and narrow, usually, there may be other fit issues with other styles so I google reviews and double check any fit issues using the stock number of each style.

I just got Bodyline-shoes194 in size 250! I usually wear size 24.5 or 8.5 (US W) and have wide, flat feet. The shoes fit me just fine with wiggle room for my toes.

>>7379874
This is good info to have since I have wide, flat feet too, thanks a lot.
Have you bought any other shoes from BL?

>>7378766
I think in their recent post BL said they made a point of not touching up their pictures too much so that you know what you're actually getting. Like they didn't shop out the wrinkles in the coat here >>7378912 so that means you can get a better idea of what kind of fabric it's made out of and how it drapes.

>>7379545
>>7379571
Those pettiskirts are super duper see-through. I have the one with little bows on it. It's ridiculous. I primarily use it as a bonus petticoat to my normal petti when I want to get max poof

I ordered some shoes and they came in the shoebox! I heard that that doesn't happen all the time, so I was pleased

>>7380452
I've only ever gotten shoeboxes with my bodyline orders, they don't always send them!?

New model is cute, I like her more w/o the photoshop

>>7380398
Well, in this case their pictures are so blurry that it doesn't even matter anymore if touched up or not, all the flaws are gone due to blur if there were some.

>>7378735
I think she's just a bit heavy on the thighs. Some girls are like that. Doesn't mean they're unhealthy.

>>7378911
It depends which ones you buy. I've bought BL wigs that have been thin, very plastic looking and overall shitty construction. Yet I've bought some that are GLW quality.

>>7378912
Her legs look so unshaven...

>>7380979
Mind sharing which were which?
