Damn. This thread is making me re-think my hateboner for Bodyline.
>tfw you're old enough to remember ordering from BL being an absolute no-no...

>>7695815
Woah, this dress is bodyline?

I saved pic related a long time ago and have always admired this coord, despite being a sweet lolita.

>>7695709
I wasn't a big fan of that dress but that coord is so cute

>>7695815
A nitpick:
This would be great if the gloves were better quality. Those look like those edgy lace ita gloves you find at cons and emo shops.

>>7695904
It's actually great because it's a Millefleurs replica! But it looks awfully pretty in good light and photographs

>>7695819
>>7695825
>>7695827
Bodyline actually has a lot of skirts that aren't shoddily made and look really pretty IRL.

This girl looks pretty good, I'll keep the buttload of nitpicks I have to myself, but all in all she looks nice.

>>7696025
I've had 2 of their floral skirts and they were pretty impressive

Any good coords with this set? I bought it in my ita days, when Bodyline was still the best brand ever desu. I feel weirdly attached to it, being my first non wa lolita dress and I wonder if I should just give up, or if their are people doing nice things to it.

hey does anybody have that one coord with the cards dress? the girl had a long straight brown wig, the dress was in blue, and i think she was wearing black rocking horses? i really like that one and i forgot to save it.

>>7697925
This?

dumping my top five fav i have saved

my all time favorite

>>7695807
They probably don't wear it very much. on 2channel the lolitas view Bodyline in the same way the western lolitas view Milanoo.

>>7700330
I owned this dress in pink and sold it but now seriously regretting it, the quality is actually really good - beautiful lace, excellent cut etc. I actually own items from Innocent World that are worse quality than this jsk.

>>7695891
On the contrary, you're only showing us how new you are.

>>7700318
A classic. I still want this dress even though it'd go with nothing in my wardrobe.

>>7700318
I bought the skirt version because of this outfit, but I hated the fabric so I didn't wear it out much. Alas..

>>7695933
At least she matched the gloves to her tights though.

>>7697109
Is it an overdress and a skirt of all one piece? Its kind of horrible, but without the collar, the big back bow and the ribbon on the sleeves it may be okay as long as everything else is good quality. Maybe unpick the lace?

>>7703148
It is an overdress + skirt. That sleeve ribbon luckily don't look as retarded in real life. That big bow in the front and on the back are terrible though, so I got rid of that. The quality is actually kinda nice for Bodyline. Might get rid of that lace though, as you suggested.

Does anyone have a good coord with the waffle print? I only ever see awful or sub-par coords with it, so it'd be refreshing to see it worn nicely, since it's pretty cute.

>>7703768
If it's seperate, could pairing the overdress with a different skirt maybe help? Something chiffon-y would possiblu make the whole look a bit classier.

>>7703887
I didn't think about that. I have the brown colorway though, so what would fit with that?

>>7703107
What's up with the fabric?

>>7703851
the torso reminds me of octoberfest

>>7700409
I just got mine in brown and the bib panel gapes horribly, sob. Also the brown is really pink toned IRL, and the zipper is just straight-up pink. Now you've made me afraid of ordering from IW, anon.

>>7704201

i'm confused as to how the bib on >>7700330
can gape when it's attached to the JSK??? there's nothing to button/tie/close on it....can you elaborate a little?

>>7704236
I think she means the bib gapes on her chest, as in the bodice of the dress doesn't lie flat on her. I have a few dresses that do this.

>>7704201
Eh mine looks fine anon? Maybe it's because my boobs are small though so the fit is fine on me, but the zipper looks brown on mine???? Maybe they got lazy and changed it.
Also I feel like other anon is exaggerating, they're probably referring to their plainer pieces, their prints are fine.

>>7703888
Cream could be lovely, maybe burgundy or, of course, even more brown.

>>7700420
Not that anon, but how new are you?
Even just last summer people were shaming girls for wearing Bodyline.
I'm sorry I wasn't around to see the shift, but I guess it happened...

>>7706560
Wait, are you serious? Literally nobody gives a shit or ever gave a shit as long as you can make it look good.

>>7706562
What rock have you been living under?

This is a thread of exceptions, not what people commonly believe Bodyline products and its wearers to look like..

Bodyline has, does and likely will continue to get hate, because this thread is not an example of the norm.
Seriously where have you been?

>>7707025
Only Brandwhores complain about Bodyline. If you can coord it nicely, the majority won't care.

>>7707030
You're so new.

>>7707025
>>7707039
What the fuck? Not the person you are responding to, but really? Who is new here?

Bodyline has mostly mediocre products (with few exceptions), which makes it harder to coord good. Most of people who buy from bodyline are also newbies which doesn't help. This is why we have threads like this to praise lolitas who can make it look good. And threads like this happen often. No one ever criticises anyone solely on the basis of wearing bodyline.

>>7707039
If you give a shit as to whether someone's coord features Bodyline or not, you're trying way too hard.

>>7707039
Thanks for the laugh, anon-chan. I've been here for ages.

>>7700330
This looks nice on the bed but I guarantee it would look shit on a person
-bright white blouse
-cream socks
-white details on dress
-ugly lace gloves that don't match
-fucking quilted flats, also in cream what is white matching lol
It is a nice dress though, I have it

>>7700334
>bad cosplay wig
>no hair accessory at all
>zero accessories in general
I think you need to find a new favorite

newbie here, what are good places to shop that aren't bodyline?

I can't into taobao

>>7707831
Get into taobao.
Lacemarket
Alicefururun

ap, btssb, aatp, innocent world, meta, moitie

>>7707831
Give up

>>7707153
Eh it's a nice casual cord

>>7708043
I dont like the bag or the jacket, but dem shoes are qt

>>7708026
I hate this dress sooo much, I've seen so many shitty newfags wearing it and they ruined my attitude towards it

>>7707831
Clobbaonline
Qutieland
Anna House
Official brands
EGL comm sales

>>7706560
People are shamed for wearing Bodyline BADLY or having a bad attitude about it i.e. "brand is so overpriced and stupid, brb buying Bodyline replicas of brand dresses". Also some people are kind of skeeved out by Yan and the way BL treats his clueless Western model-waifus.

But BL has been a generally accepted option for newbies and poorfags for the past five years or more. The positive egl reviews go back much farther, especially for the shoes.

TL;DR you new as fuck

>BL has been a generally accepted option for newbies and poorfags for the past five years or more
But that's why we dislike BL. Quality is nowhere near brand and we know no coord can look perfect with poor quality dresses. All these coords are great, but we don't aim great, do we? We aim perfect. We aim "so goddamn perfect not even /cgl/ will find something to nitpick about" Post any of these coords on inspiration threads, I guarantee you'll get critics.

Maybe none of you are new, but we do know now which of you is a better lolita.

inb4: butthurt.

>>7709599
I'm dying.

>>7709599
I would love to see your perfect brand coords.

>>7709599
Bodyline is great for when you don't want to worry about your nice expensive dress. If I'm just going out to lunch, I don't feel like dressing to the nines. Same for cons.

GETTING BACK ON TOPIC

Anyone got coords with Fairy From Forest? It seems like it'd be very easy to coord but I rarely see it worn anywhere.

>>7709599

>>7711917

>>7711922
This is pretty bad. The frumpy sweater is awful, the lack of accessories, and the blouse is barely making the mark. Try again anon.

>>7710391
I have a coord using that jsk in pink, but I've yet to wear it or take any photos.

>>7711922
i want that sweater for finals week ugh
sage for off topic sorry gals

>>7710391
I have the skirt in pink. I have serious trouble with my petticoat.

>>7700334
that fucking catherine wig right now, I swear

also the reds with the shoe/skirt dont match up, idk

>>7700334

>>7708169
it's really not

so I got this skirt thinking I could work magic with it/take on a new challenge

I was so wrong I have no idea what to do with it

moar of that skirt

thought of putting it with these heels

http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-heels/dance-instead-of-walking-heel-in-grey

wouldn't match anything in my closet except the skirt

>>7708023
Ultra-nitpicky, but I feel like the bows on the OP clash with the crosses and chains motif, and for gothic, she should probably have removed them. Pretty girl, though, and the coord is alright, otherwise.

>>7712009
If this is your coord, its lovely! You could add some pearls or something to the waist of the skirt to add a bit of colour to it, but other wise it seems fine. shoes are a bit too sweet.

>>7712222
oh damn I wish it were me it's some chick named Zeruda or some shit, I think it's lovely

>trying to keep this thread alive

>>7713658

>>7712009
I would get red shoes and different colored stockings
everything else very pretty

>>7713661
is this jsk still in stock

>>7700316
oh yay! im really late but yes! thats the one! thanks!

>>7695904
This girl is fucking awesome it just made me remember how much I love lolita.

>>7700321
Sauce on the adorable bunny bonnet? That or something similar with long ass ears. Need to be kawaii for winter

>>7713709
It should be. A warning though - that's raschel lace, I had that dress for a while before selling it. It's not awful, but a heads up.

>>7709599

>>7712021
>dat Sherlock sticker
my nigga

>>7711928
I think it's cute. It's a unique take on wearing that jsk.

>>7714437
"unique" does not equal good.
I don't like the sweater, the rest looks fine to me though. It's just casual.

>>7715181
I was obviously using unique in a positive way as I was praising the outfit. Better than the bland white blouse and white sock combo every newbie sticks with. Boring as fuck.

>>7715255
Wearing a frumpy sweater over said bland white blouse does not really put her above boring newbie coords though.

>>7695904
I have a personal pet peeve I need to get out of my chest: her face is a huge rectangle. That would not be a problem if she didn't insist on wearing hairstyles, hats and make up that pronounces that even more.
Her outfits are amazing, though.

>>7715181
I think bodyline looks best as classy casual coords though. I haven't really seen any OTT coords that wow'd me.

It's so hard to find good coords with this skirt (and the jsk) no matter the color way. Anyone got any other pictures that will give me more hope in this print?

>>7718910
her boobs look saggy.

>>7708263
is qutieland legit? I was told before it was scammy sorta like milanoo

>>7718941

Qutieland is just a taobao service. They charge more than other services because they have a catalog and cart system, you pay for the convenience.

>>7718941
They have a nasty reputation in terms of their business dealings. I've also heard people hint that she uses her dual-citizenship to dodge paying taxes, but who knows if that's true.

When people first started using Taobao, Qutieland refused to release their sources for items they sold, and attempted to hold a monopoly over international distribution of certain indie brands. They would get Taobao brands to agree to sell exclusively through her, such that other similar shops (Clobba, Mashimaro Girl, etc.) couldn't publicly sell those items. The shops would still sell to those other services on the side, but in "public", Qcute could claim exclusivity and get "special" deals. Other shops could get those same deals if they asked, but most people didn't know better and would buy through Qcute instead.

The EGL mods upheld this monopoly until people started using other shopping services more regularly, and then just stopped giving a shit, because they couldn't police it.

It was kind of shit. She's actually part of the reason that Secret Shop is VIP sales for shoes only, now.

Any with this dress?

>>7713661
Oh that's really pretty.
