/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Some uggos posting repos in the repo thread.

Repo is Chinese slang from the English word "report". In lolita it means photo feedback.

As always, source is lorp.miniban.cn

...chinese schools allow kids to wear their own clothes? what happened to uniforms?

Stars Rainbow's new 'original' design. Riding 2 hypes at the same time, cosmic and the SM revival boom. Salior Moon indeed.

Their cosplay shop is also notorious for being shit quality, reselling items for a markup, and really horrid color difference.

>>7638650
>>7638656
From the lighting it looks like nighttime. Boarding schools have this thing called 晚自习, basically homework time in the classroom. They are free to wear whatever once the official school hours are over.

>>7638658
>>7638661
Oh gosh, this is really cute.
Sauce, CG? Also if you know anything about their quality?

>>7638661
those mountains of textbooks, though. are they all really studying their asses off? or just pretending

>>7638665
Also, do you have any drama of Half-Cup Milk (idk their english name)'s Cosmic replica?
It turned out so bad hahahaha. I didn't save a picture but I'm so glad I didn't get it.

>>7638658
>>7638661
It kind of looks cute?
I'm just tired of navy x gold.
>tfw I will never have a navy star dress with white accents that has a big red bow on the front

The 'cream' color of Nameless Poem. I might as well give my review here. It's pretty shit. The 'white' parts are all this weird pink color, and the whole thing is really thick fabric, and unflattering cut. No waist in it, and even if you tie the belt it's fat looking. I wore it to dinner and I sweated buckets. On the upside the embroidery is really cute, and it comes with 2 different waist ties, the cut of the sleeves is also very poofy and nice. If you're skinny in the face and legs and live in a colder climate, it should be perfect. Horrid for tropical tho.

>>7638665
idk I don't own anything by them on principle, don't like the owner Yotsuki Kizuna. Visually I'd say on par with Bodyline. Their sakura and galaxy seifuku are cute, but the cut is shit and the skirt pleats are much too shallow. They also had a horrid bleeding problem with their cosplay shop's red Asuka jacket. Sauce is Stars Rainbow on taobao.

>>7638673
Probably actually studying. Local schools are crazy.

>>7638676
Most of the drama about replicas is about the buyers and the production of them. Most real lolitas don't buy them only soft sisters, and those who do don't publicize it. I'll keep an eye open.

Fat with waist ties on a skinny girl. The fabric's just too thick.

>>7638688
CG, I was one of the anons who has a large bust/boxy body and didn't order Nameless poem because I was worried about fit in one of the last threads. Would you be willing to post a worn pic? Blur whatever you want, I just want to see the dress worn.

>>7638658
>>7638661
This was cute until "Salior Moon"

>>7638676
Where'd you find the picture, anon? I cancelled with my SS a few days ago and now I'm pretty glad I did if it's as bad as it sounds.

>>7638703
Can't sorry, just vaccum packed all my dresses. If you don't mind waiting a week I can take some more after a week. I don't recommend you getting it. I'm moderately busty and I look so fat in it with a bra on. Prob gonna wear a minimizer underneath if I even keep it at all.

You can go on weibo and search 无名之诗 or 无名诗 to search for other people's repos tho.

4 of China's current worst trends worn the worst way possible. Plain chiffon sweet dresses ala AP, semi-sheer over dresses, midget making under dresses, and corsets.

Dear Celine's recent dresses. Sailor dresses all look pretty similar, but the color combo and the chiffon might be just a little too close for comfort.

Hey CG, where's the best place in central Shanghai for cheap, kawaii jfashion shopping?

>>7638637
I thought that AP Shanghai had shut down?

>>7638715
Dug in the archives a bit and I'm actually not sure if it's the one by Half Cup.
OP never said where the picture was from, but it was posted in the taobao thread so I'm assuming it's the Half Cup one.

>>7638729

Wow, another dress that will look unflattering as hell on anyone with boobs. Especially with that weird line of ruffles that is only half hidden under the bow.

>tfw all I want is a cute Sailor lolita dress

>>7638750
I got this dress and I'm so excited for it.
But I've never gotten anything in this shape before so I hope I look okay with it.
I'm well under the measurements & B-cup and if I tent a little, I'll just wear a sports bra.

Some Taiwan original brand. That ugly cheap printing, saggy straps, flat dress, tube waist, and cheap unruffled cotton lace. Yours for only 932rmb! You could get KL or sale brand for that much.

>>7638734
No idea. Chinese fashion is generally sorta kawaii azn. If you have a credit card or whatever you can just taobao and get it delivered to your hotel. I'd say the Jyu Jyu fashion mall, but I think that closed down and got turned into a giant Uniqlo.

>>7638745
The shop closed because of the above reason. The Chinese management illegally terminated their contract and kicked a bunch of Jfash shops out (Putu, AP etc.) to make way for a big Uniqlo. The shop was shitty anyway because they paid crap, but expected you to be a lolita, and only had past season shit marked up. Now it's an online taobao store, they still maintain an official weibo too.

>>7638748
This is 田中家, the idiot Cosmic SS (you must be in cosplay to buy Cosmic! AP shopgirl said!) and the replica makers in the OP. I don't recommend buying from them. I haven't seen any Half Milk photos. If it's not in their store or weibo it's probably not anywhere.

>>7638748
Fuck I didn't know cosmic had pom pom trim.

I love pom pom trim

>>7638719
>4 of China's current worst trends worn the worst way possible. Plain chiffon sweet dresses ala AP, semi-sheer over dresses, midget making under dresses, and corsets.

Why is this underskirt trend so popular? It looks so unflattering 90% of the time, and even if not it looks just weird because most times it's really obvious where the dress ends and the awkward high amount of ruffles.

Any other trends Chinese Lolitas follow these days?
Also, will you ever do an egl wardobe post, CG-senpai?

>>7638759
How on earth does that look like a pom pom trim? It's just lace.

>>7638719
I think the first one's pretty cute

>>7638758
Do you think there's any chance that China will have another physical AP store again? I am going to China this year with my Chinese boyfriend and I'm quite sad that it isn't there anymore. Also, is it true from what I've seen that pretty much no one likes Moitie in China? I love Moitie and it's weird how European lolitas love it so much but it's not as popular elsewhere.

>>7638764
Oh it looked like little round pom poms to me, my bad

>>7638755

Good luck Anon! I think the dress is cute as hell, but really hard to wear as it will look unflattering on most people. If it suits you I am sure it will look adorable!

I am mostly mad because it did not need to be that unflattering. Innocent World for example has a few of these Sailor OPs with a similar cut, but they have waist ties (and do not have this awkward line of ruffles) which makes them 500% more flattering and nice, even for people with bigger boobs.
>pic related

>>7638760
If I ever make a wardrobe post it won't be affilited with my trip here anywho. I've said too many cunty things and would like my style to be judged on its own merits. Internet detectives are hardcore, and everything I post is really very risky since a certain collection of dresses in X cut X color would easily pinpoint the owner.

See archives Anton Lisa for underskirt explanation. Shawls are also trending now, and usually make them look like aunties (or it's just the auntie-looking ones who wear them).

>>7638764
Nah pretty sure it's actual pom pom trim.

New and improved, actual coslita! I had korean food for dinner and every burp is garlicky ew.

>>7638764
>>7638767
Sorry, zoomed in and see it's flat little diamonds

>>7638702
Wow, I'm really glad I didn't order this now. The quality looks terrible. I was also put off by the fact that they said you must wash it immediately after receiving it or else the ink may rub off. What the hell.

>>7638768
I actually didn't notice the line of ruffles under the bow until you mentioned it earlier. I hope it turns out okay.

>>7638771
Is it? Anybody actually owns cosmic can clear this up?

>>7638772
Are you kidding me? I wore it all day and it drizzled and no black skin?

>>7638770
They're just little squares. AP only uses pom poms with wintery and velvet(een) pieces.

>>7638779
It said it on their Storenvy page and it made my OCD flare up. I would be forever anxious that it would stain everything. If I were you I would store it next to your cheaper clothes that you don't care much for. Glad it didn't run when you wore it though, maybe they just wanted to be overly careful.

The lace is very 2D and like the other anon said, it really doesn't suit pom poms and they're used with velvet dresses. I don't think AP has released a dress with pom poms for ages too.

>>7638779
Don't own it, but a pom pom trim would be a terrible design choice for this dress. It is too light and floaty for a pom pom trim which is more suited to heavier fabrics. It would just look weird.

have you, for any period of time, ever participated in any IRL lolita community before?

>>7638780
Melody toys has pom pom trim though? Or do you consider it wintery

>>7638791
I think you guys are only thinking of the big pom poms on strings. AP has much smaller pom pom trim that doesn't dangle. However I don't think cosmic has that and agree it would be a little off. Even the small angles on that trim seem better than little round balls

>>7638780
so sad for anon then.

In other news, Captain Mia appears to be partially stolen vector art. I'm completely put off Ista Mori now jesus.

>>7638787
I sort my dresses by color mostly, I'll check if it runs later. I haven't washed it since all my lolita is hand-washed and there's only a machine in this apt.

>>7638792
No. Only because I have terrible timing. When I began buying lolita I left to a shitty country with absolutely zero community. I only come back to China in weird times of the year since my holidays are spaced funny, and all the local gatherings are during CNY, Christmas, or Summer. I have a few online friends but I'm not very prolific on social media. I met a couple harajuku-kei girls the other day at Daiso tho, they sorta tailed me out and I waved and we had a little "we are kindred" moment lol.

>>7638799
Holy crap those pom poms are subtle, I didn't even realise they were there. It's not solely a wintery dress but it matches the aesthetic much better than Cosmic in my opinion. The fact that they are so subtle is cute too.

>>7638805
That doesn't look like the same shape at all, especially the shop and the anchor. They're just generic logos.

I dodged a bullet with this since I loved the fabric but hated the cut. I asked to buy some fabric and she forgot about it eventually.

The AP umbrella and stationary books are such scams wtf. I mean the umbrella and stationary is alright but calling it a 'book' when it's like 2 A4 pages with a couple photos and a shop list is pretty weak. Also that AP sticker roller thing is cheap as fuck. 12/10 for the CD umbrella tho. It's more like the omake are the actual items and the 'book' is just an afterthought. I wonder if they call it a 'book' for tax reasons or whatever.

>>7638805
>the most generic ocean-related images on the planet
>must be stolen!!!!
>shapes are completely different

CG are you retarded.

>>7638811
I actually don't think it looks that similar either, but some people are admanant. I mean it could be inspired or referenced, but anchors and bouys and compasses and ships and rope aren't exactly fresh ideas in a nautical design. Still the amount of suspiciously similar elements from the same set is a bit strange. There is more than one way to draw rope braid.

I post everything with the mentality if I get connected to it I'll own it. Living in a police state makes me feel safe with security cameras and policement everywhere. I'm of the thought school "Don't do anything you don't want known", if someone tried hard enough I could probably be identified by my IP or typing style anyway.

>>7638823
>Again, most of these opinions aren't my own
>As always, source is lorp.miniban.cn
No, are you?

Have some panty service cosloli.

>>7638805

The anchors don't look anything alike, and the compass just looks like a generic compass you'd find on a map. The only thing that looks like it could be lifted is the ship, and very possibly the ropes.

>>7638806
Yeah that's the kind I first thought they had on cosmic because they are so small! I love all pom pom trims haha but I agree the flat trim they used on cosmic fits much better. Just got excited about unknown pom poms for a second lol

>>7638831

Some people were also pretty adamant about the whole KL lying about the fabric for Mozarabic Chant, so I wouldn't trust random peeps in China for the end all be all.

Also

>omg I've been completely turned off!

Seems that it's (was?) your opinion as well that these were lifted, despite the lack of similarities.

>>7638831

I kind of like your rambly typing style, but I have to admit, it's very hard to tell which opinions are yours and which ones were lifted from wherever.

If I may make a suggestion, maybe you can add quotation marks, or greentext the entire opinion that isn't yours, that way we don't get random cglers getting their panties twisted over what they think is your opinion.

I kinda like garlic burps. I just love garlic in general. Cafeteria cook found out and ladled it on when she prepares my dishes. One day my breath was so bad it cleared my entire study table. Too bad I have to stop eating it so I can have my study buddies back.

>>7638676
Half milk hasn't even finished production yet i thought.
I heard late June/early july from them when I asked them when it comes out.

>>7638805
I agree with other anons, these things are all really generic. My uncle and his buddies have ship tattoos with that exact angle, only facing the other direction. It's pretty hard to get creative yet simple with a sail ship. Same for an anchor.

>>7638845
I'll differentiate more carefully then. I actually really dislike garlic burps and breath. My husband is paranoid about eating it now since I won't kiss him if I smell it on him. Once he drank milk + green tea + brushed teeth twice + gargled and it still smelled. He was sad all night. Now he only eats it if I do. I like the taste of it in food, but I hate the odour that lingers.

Koreans are smelly as shit and eat a ton of raw garlic. Whenever they went for bbq and a gang of them walked into a room the next day it would just radiate out of their pores. The apartment I lived in had lots of koreans and this nasty odour always came up the drains. I went to the dentist the other day after something garlicky, ate like a whole bag of fisherman friends, chewed gum, a bottle of green tea, and flossed in the waiting room. Much shame.

>>7638845
Well I hate art theft, but also because the design of Captain Mia was uggo. I should have been more clear. I hate Ista Mori now because Captain Mia was ugly, and Nameless Poem is shit quality.

I hate footless leggings. My mom used to buy the shit out of them. If you have lovely long skinny legs and want to look like a stubby mothafucka, just wear footless leggings with flats.

>>7638755
I also got it
I'm a 30D/28DD so it's all good. I'm a bit nervous about it being see through.

>>7638702
damn, that's disappointing! I think it looks kinda cute on her, but as a busty chan it's just confirmation that it's gonna look awful on me. Anyone from the US gotten their preorders yet?

>>7638637
Not that I'm supporting but
>financial loss
>guaranteed to sell out

>>7638647
>>7638650

I think these girls look fine....

>>7638926

>all that backpeddling

Stop. We get you think it's ugly, but there's no way to confirm if it's art theft or not.

>>7638985

Tbh I think it's a little low of CG to post people 'trying on things' in this thread, if I get that when she says 'repo' she means the pic review thread. /cgl/ is already skeeved by girls who try outfits on the lolita fashion tag on tumblr showing up in ita threads. I wonder why this hasn't gotten more protests yet. Plus, she's only posting because 'lel they ugly,' Not even ita, just ugly.

>>7638943
Maybe they're already planning to do an unlimited reserve like DDC?

>>7638891
>>7638676
>>7638748

The shit replica isn't from half milk its from this place http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.46.geXXlZ&id=39662176898&ns=1#detail

>>7638985
>>7638992
They were posted on lorp because 'lel they ugly'. I really gotta start differentiating huh oh well.

>>7638993
I highly doubt it. It didn't even sell out that fast. DDC is popular in every colorway. CDC is only popular in navy.

>>7638992
The internet is a dangerous thing. Only way to prevent it is by only posting things you're 100% confident with. When people want attention and asspats for buying a thing, then get pissed that the photo they posted wasn't flattering or sth, it could have been completely avoidable if they had put together a coord or just posted a flat on the bed picture or sth. TL;DR people who post shit on the internet need to be more aware of any possible consequences.
