>That feel when I'll never fit into this

>>7376998
>>7377019
I have OP pix dress and was really tempted by Claudia too but it looked a bit short-waisted for me. My dream one was this oldie though and I scored it after a pretty good wait. It's a bit short and tight but I just don't care.

This was my dream dress and is my favourite item in my closet. I've only worn it once because I'm still trying to think of how to coord it in a non boring way.

>>7377015
This is really beautiful!

A classic classic.

>tfw you can finally fit into MM
>tfw no money

I love the skirt of this.

>>7377109
where one find replicas of this? I've only found one link and I just didn't trust the buyer :/

>>7377021
>>7377109
Does a guy have a chance in a million years of ever fitting into these? They're so... perfect. What is the style called?

>>7377801
It's in the filename- the Ekatarina OP by Mary Magdelene.

As far as fitting though, probably not. MM runs quite small compared to other brands (max 35-36in bust and narrow shoulders, typically). However there are replicas of this dress in a lot of places, F+F, taobao. They won't look quite as nice, though.

>>7377801
No chance. I'm a tiny as fuq petite girl and it sat a little funny on me, my shoulders were a bit too broad and my chest too small.

I also had a replica from KidsYoyo on Taobao, and it had similar problems, moreso in the bust than the shoulders.

However, there may be other replicas that would fit you better. Definitely check the measurements before you buy anything.

>>7377829
I thought kidsyoyo was pretty good with their sizing?

>>7377836
Well, I'm fairly flat chested, and I bought it secondhand without looking at the measurements. So it was probably my fault.

BUT, the chest is sort of shaped for boobs, with a built-in curve to accommodate maybe up to a 34C or so. I'm a 30B, and it was too big in the chest with the corset lacing tied completely tight. It was a size small.

>>7377801
Probably not the actual brand, but I know Infanta has a dress in the same cut, and their sizing is more flexible than MM's.

>>7377029
Lose some weight, fatty.

Even if I do ever find it, it'll be too short for me to look elegant anyway.

>>7377858
And this. There's not enough magician themed coords if any!

>>7377243
That's a print.....

>>7377862
oh, anon, I want it in this colorway so badly. I recently saw it in white/black, but never blue

>>7377857
>ribs are 99cm anon.
Scandinavian roots will do this to a girl.

but i'm too fat for victorian maiden =\

>>7377858
Me too, anon. This would be scandalously short on me

>>7378026
This, however, would have a decent chance of at least making it within a few inches of my knees

>>7377019
I will never own this gorgeous dress because I was/am too poor for this dress for at least 3 more months and no one will ever sell it

here is another that I will never see

I just really want the whole set.

>>7378062
and the blue one

>>7378062
Oh! sauce?

>>7377820
>>7377829
Can't find them anywhere. Fuck everything.

>>7378066
I should just put these all in one image

>>7378078
Its VM collab with Makoto Takahashi
just the whole set and pieces are ughhhhh want

>>7378091
You didn't try hard enough then. Ekaterina is quite common compared to some other MM dresses. Here's one that's been sitting around for a bit, there's no proof pic but your SS might be able to ask for one.
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_423163149.html?_SRC=li_i0
If they pop up every now and then if you wait it out

>>7378122
There's also another Infanta version on the classic lolita sales group, though both that and the one on mbok would only fit females generally.

>>7378122
Pretty sure anon was the bro looking for a replica so it might actually fit.

>>7378091
I don't know of any decent ones that actually exist in shops right now, but I'd say look around the secondhand comm for ekaterina replicas. I've found more than one there, and I know I sold one just a few weeks ago. They go for ~$100 with shipping for the most part. I can't even look through fanplusfriend to look for it, because the site seems to be shitting itself right now.

>>7378122
Sorry, I suck at navigating through these sites. :(

Thank you, though.

>>7377021
I used to want ekatarina but there's just been so many knock offs and replics that I've just lost interest

fff and then I scrolled and saw >>7377544

ahh JetJ

>>7378133
np man, and sorry about missing the part about you needing one that'll fit. If you're not too muscular/fat and have a boyish body, taobao custom sized replicas might fit you. Shame you can't wear the real thing thought ;w;

>>7377540
I saw this in real life and thought it was a Bodyline dress. Oops.

>>7378149
This one is being sold on Y!J I think.

>>7378142
lol it's practically the signature 'newb's first dream dress' so it makes sense they wouldn't know all the places to find replicas, much less decent ones

>>7378142
I used to want ekaterina and then I had it and realised I looked like ass in it so I sold it again.

Made a profit, don't curr.

Bought two dresses with the money.

Everything turned out okay.

>>7378179
You have bad taste and poor judgement.

>>7377540
My first dream dress. Some other girl bought it before I could last year or so though.

>>7378179
Where!? It's one of my dream dresses.

It's very simple but I have such a weakness for that bodice style, with the sloping inverted V pintucks...

>>7378189
We can suffer together, anon. Where'd you see it being sold? I've never seen it come up, only the more recent short sleeve version.

sighs longingly

>>7378194
It wasn't meant to be, Panda.

>>7378183
Hrm I cant seem to find it.
Just was going to take a peek, at what I would be looking at to spend.

ahhhhhhhhh I need a new job.

>>7378163
I'm very skinny, but I'm also pretty tall (182 cm). So it's probably not meant to be.

Why couldn't I just be a cute 160 cm trap. ;;

How to find the custom replicas, though? For science.

>>7378191
It was on the comm sales, I think Duplica was selling it. If I recall correctly, it looked a bit faded though. It's the only time I can remember seeing it for sale recently, it never seems to come up, at least not in black.

That feel when even if I miraculously managed to get it someday, I probably wouldn't like how it looks on me anyway, because a hime/straight with bangs cut is the one perfect hairstyle to coord with this outfit, and I look really bad with bangs.

>you will never be an elegant japanese beauty

I missed out on it for cheap last year. Will never get over it, have been wanting it for 7 years.

>>7378214
Hmm, just took a look through her sales and didn't see (was curious how much it went for, do you remember?) I guess it wouldn't have mattered since I'm a murrican and she doesn't sell outside EU...

>>7378226
I think it might have been around AU $200, maybe $180? I'm outside EU too but she's sold to me before and I think she said she would if the sale dropped through. But alas it didn't.

>>7378233
Or maybe I'm wrong and Duplica bought it. I have a feeling that might be the case now, actually. I don't think she did a wardrobe post this year or else I'd go stalk and see.

A dress I can actually finally be near fitting (I have very small measurements, especially in bust area which is like 79 cm ugh)
I don't have the money for it though....

>>7378235
Yeah, I got it wrong, Duplica bought it. It makes me even sadder as she has so many dresses and her coordinates are almost always sub-par or questionable.

>>7378252
All my jealous rage.

>>7378149
JetJ will release a similar dress this week:
http://yaplog.jp/juliette_et_j/archive/105

>>7377984
Was it that Y!A one or something?
>tfw it only sold for like 4000 yen and you dont mind the white colourway either

>>7378026
Beautiful anon.
If we could find an immaculate seamstress to emulate it we could be the happiest tallitas.

>>7377954
Sorry, I wasn't sure about it but overall thought it was 'floral'.

>>7378184
Are you me? I love the design but it doesn't suit me at all.

Also, VM's fairy doll dress still haunts my dreams.

>>7378431
this! so freaking much anon!!
So bummed I couldn't afford it when it came out!! :'(

>>7377540
>>7378189
>>7378191
It's on Mbok, if you want it.
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_436022837.html

>>7380641
Anon may you be showered in all the burando you ever desired. Crossing my fingers on this.

One day my dream will come true and JetJ rereleases old dresses :)

>>7378189
Taste is subjective.

>>7378191
A girl wore it to a meet up.

>>7378221
ARE YOU ME ANON? ALL MY FEELS.

The one time I forget to check MM for a while. THE ONE TIME.

>>7380770
I think Chokelate bought it before we could. So sad. The only other time I saw it last year was for about $450 ($200+ more).

>>7380817
We can cry together. I've never seen it being sold ever except the one time when I saw it too late. Fuck our lives.

>>7380817
I'm not sure if that was me, I think I bought it for about $340?

>>7380791
damn thats gorgeous

>>7380641
>>7380681
Got it. Again, thank you so much for linking this, it's not one of the brand tags I usually trawl through since I wear gothic mostly.

(And good luck >>7378189 Sorry to have made you miss it again... I'll try to do it justice, at least.)

>>7380824
I hope we can both get it this year!

>>7380848
Hmm, I wonder where it went. Hopefully I didn't sound mad, you will look 10x better in it than me anyway, haha.

>>7380924
Yay! I'm the anon who linked you, and I actually don't usually look at Baby stuff either, but the seller has a MM dress listed as well and that's a tag that I do check. So it's all a big coincidence.

>>7380950
No worries! And to be fair.. I haven't even tried it on yet :( it was kind of an impulse buy. I will try it on soon, maybe it doesn't suit me (big chance since the sleeves are guaranteed to be short on me) and then I'll probably sell it.

>>7380981
Where did you buy it from, may I ask? If you sell it, how much would it be for? I am super interested if you do. But it would probably look way better on you anyway, the other Moitie OP you have from memory looked great.

>>7381047
Someone from Europe, I don't exactly remember who it was. I'd sell it for about €200-€250 depending on the state of the dress (€250 is what I paid iirc).

>>7381081
Dropping my email in case you decide to sell it sometime soon - just ignore this if this is rude and you decide to keep it. Thanks!

>>7380791
I only ever see Santa when I see this dress after someone else pointed out the likeness. I hope you can find your Santa dress, anon.

>>7381236
It'll be a Merry Christmas to me if/when I do, anon

Hnnng.

A lot of people dislike how this looks

this is some fucking amazing shit, kuragehime or not.

You guys are shitting me right.
That is one of the most hideous things I have ever seen...

>>7383543
>>7377862
Derp meant to reply to this

>>7381225
I'm going to mail you soon :)

>>7378194
What's the name of this dress?

>>7380177
Gah!!! This dress. I want it like oxygen and have had the opportunity to buy it several times but I would never fit into it.
This dress makes me cry. If VM would make a size 2 they could have all of my monies.

>>7378194
you are ita if you like this. that neckline, those gold chains, all the colors...this belongs in one of those WTF threads. those BABY designers were toking it up with Novala again, I bet you.

>>7383567
Sweet Devil

>>7383613
Eh, it's on the same level as Baby's more recent releases, may be I am an ita at heart
I just like all the pretty details :(

My favorite non-print dresses are AP's Broad Gelato JSK pink and Glass Doll OP white, they are both so cute!

bump

>>7383554
Hello, I replied a day ago, not sure if you got it.

>>7377029
That's pretty cute.

I don't care if it's a lace monster, I'll always want this dress. But I'll never be able to fit into it. :/ Even my skinny roommate is too big for it...

>>7389065
Yes, I like it too ! Actually, the re-release is to big for me, so I'm bound to look for first release, and it's really difficult to find.

>>7389080
Wait, they aren't the same size?? I'm surprised...

I wonder what the size difference is, then.

>>7384169
it's not bad anon doesn't know the correct definition of ita
