I think this is ok for fairy kei but I hope nobody will use it for lolita.

Does anyone have a review of these boots? I'm looking to get them in black this winter.

So can anyone who has owned the Bodyline chiffon blouse for a while speak for its durability? I was worried that after continued wears they might start to have a lot of raveling threads as cheaper chiffon tends to.

>>7731137
For winter??? The reason bodyline is cheap is because their shit is cheap. Its a plastic boot, not meant for weather and elements of any kind.

>>7731137
I own them in brown. I love em but they're for fall and warm winter. Not resistant to water as far as I know. There isn't much tread and the ankles always squeak.

Squirrel Party OP just restocked in most colors, for M it's all except green and sax. Just in case anyone was after that dress.

>>7731745
Not the anon you responded to but are they really that bad ? The place I'm moving to is significantly colder than where I live and there might be snow too. I was inerested in SHOES225 and SHOES270.

>>7731472
I've had mine for a few months and wore it around quite a bit, particularly during cons and hot weather because it's really light and comfortable. I haven't had any raveling threads yet. It's still in really good shape!

>>7735948
they are indeed not suitable for cold winters. if you really insist on wearing them in winter, go a size up and wear thick (woolen) socks or thermo leggings with them.

>>7735948
I got them in January of this year and wore ten to katsucon. On the plus they kept me nice and warm. They're really cute and fit well. The sad part was te squeak was so loud and a bit embarrassing even in the hallways with people chattering.

>>7735907
any pictures of it worn? I'm kind of on the fence.
I don't like all of the ribbons/lace on the bodice

>>7731137
Damn those look like they are made for some massive calves. It's like they know who buys their shit and they welcome it.

>>7731745
It's your ankle? On mine the front bow rubs against the boot when I'm walking. I always laugh at it.

>>7737401
The ankles are surprisingly unforgiving in circumference. Probably explaining people's squeaks.

>>7731137
plus they have little to no tread so they are well slippery on ice and snow.

I wonder when Mr. Yan ill be done with his traveling.

anyone have a pic of l222 worn? (a.k.a., the fucking postage stamp jsk)

Does bodyline have any decent dresses hat can be goth'd up right now? I was looking at L526 (black x black), but I don't know if the black on black would hide that awful lace enough, or if the dress itself is decently made.

>>7738919

Just saw this picture for the first time.

>>7738938
thank you!

>>7738962
I'll take 20.

>>7739001
Same. I need to stack up on burning fuel for the winter

>>7738926
L329 is a gorgeous dress in black, have a look around for reviews on it.

>>7738926
I wouldn't go with anything that looks like it could have bad lace, if possible. Even if it's black on black you will still be able to feel the awful lace!
Would L087 work? I looked up some closeup/nonstock photos and it looks decent with possibly cotton lace instead. Alternatively L348.
I have a couple of Bodyline pieces in black that have ruffles instead of lace and they are actually really nice!

I also got my order of shoes in today, including a pair in gold. I can do a short review if anyone is interested.

>>7739029
Ahh, well, unfortunately it doesn't come in a size S. Bodyline's S are just the slightest bit too big, I'd swim in a M.

>>7739001
I'll take 11 left leg warmers.

It's literally killing me, what anime is this from? Costume 300.

>>7738659
I wonder that too. how much money must all that traveling even cost? did he not go on a vacation for years and now spends months overseas?

I have the L510 in sax. Any tips on coordinating it?

>>7739031
I'd like a review on the gold shoes if possible!

>>7740298
Maybe it's funded by all the luckypack sales! Haha

>>7740757
Speaking of lucky packs, has anyone bought any o the defective product LPs? What's been in them?

>>7731745
>>7737447
Squeaky anons! I owned a pair of BL boots and they squeaked like hell. I stopped them squeaking by rubbing a VERY small amount of hair conditioner on the tongue of the boot, particularly along the parts where it makes contact with another part of the boot. There's probably a material-specific product that does that, but that worked for me and they haven't squeaked since!

>>7738926
My friend has L526 in black, and it looks pretty good in a nice coord. I got it in white but ultimately sold it though. The lace isn't too bad in the solid jsks, but my issue was the skirt, it's kind of long and needs a lot of petti. It wa pretty flattering on my bust though.

>>7731137
I'd invest in something nicer. I made the mistake of buying these and they squeak nonstop. I only wore these for outdoor meets like wandering around in a corn maze in the fall but now that I remember I own them I'll just throw them away.

>>7731137
I have these boots in brown and I really like them. They might not be the highest quality shoes around, but I find them pretty comfortable and I'm not really bothered by the squeaking. I live in the southeastern U.S., so they're perfectly fine for fall and winter here. If you realize they're just a cheap fashion accessory, they're great. If you want legit boots to weather the winter, these are not for you, as other anons have advised. But for my purposes, I absolutely love them.

>>7740716
I think some fire would go really well with that dress

>>7742512
What's wrong with it?

>>7740840
>skirt is kind of long
That's fine by me, my legs are long as shit.

Though, I'm 165 cm, and according to this, Peenus is 166 and that skirt is like 5-6 cm above her knees. Maybe I should order a size up to make sure it's long enough?

>>7740779
lots of tartan

>>7742512
Lol, here's a pic of it on the model, and not a shitty tumblr bed post.

so quick question, are there guys who want to meetup with Mr. Yan or are all of his fans females?

>>7743375
I'd recommend some kerosene to complement the fire and really tie the whole coord together.

>>7737401
you must have ant legs.

>>7745715
I wish I had ant legs ;o;

>>7745695
He meets up with dudes sometimes. Do you follow him in fb? He posted a couple months ago about visiting the guys and gays or something like that and he was with a group of guys then.

>>7740271
my first thought was kirino but naaah

So I just put in an order, it ended up being like 1.3 kg, but I paid for AIR because I'm a cheap piece of shit. I got my tracking number, and it looks like they're shipping EMS?

Has this happened to anyone before? Is it because shipping one EMS package is cheaper for them than sending two AIR since the order was so heavy? Or was there just a fuckup somewhere?

>>7749962
they always write EMS in the email, so it's nothing unusual

>>7745712
I'd recommend a cliff to go with that edgy attitude.

i'm still a little confused on bodyline's shoe sizing. I recently ordered shoes192 in size 270 because I wear size 10 in women's (curse my darn big feet), but bodyline's chart said that I should have gotten a size 260/265?

>>7740271

It's obv Honoka from Love Live.

>>7750090
Size 10 isn't as helpful as knowing your size in cm (or even EU sizing, since that seems to be a bit more uniform in my experience). Some anons swear that Bodyline uses the cm sizes, but I have always gone by their size chart and ordered according to the Japanese sizes (with exceptions for shoes like the RHS, which run small) with no problems.
For example, I'm an EU 37, and I usually buy 225s.
If the shoes you bought end up being a bit too big, you can always just put an insole or two in them.

>>7750090
USA size 10 here, I usually order 265, 270 is a little too big.

>>7750109
>>7750113
thank you!

>>7750099
anon I hope you're being sarcastic. But nah I think it's Kirino just with a different wig, I guess.

Planning on getting the Antique Clock skirt in green. Thinking about this blouse as well, with some opaque white tights and regular boots to go with them.

Would it work as an outfit? Also, what's a decent petticoat I could get?

>>7750143
Anon, I hope you're joking. Ita clock is one of Bodyline's worst prints. I would suggest something less ugly and of better quality like their carousel prints, or just anything that doesn't look too cheap or lacy.

>>7750136
Her school uniform doesn't even look like that, there is no white stuff at the border of Kirino's skirt.

>>7750143
This blouse is not bad in terms of lace and quality but the collar is very big.
>boots
umwellthen

>>7750156
Everyone hates antique clock, so I never wear it out, but I love it as a lounge around the house dress. It is so comfy.

>>7750143
I don't know what kind of lolita style you're going for, but here are some skirt suggestions that would look better with the blouse than that horrid clock.

Does this skirt remind anyone else of Madoka?

It feels like a witch's labyrinth.

>>7750228
It's completely uggo aside from that, of course.

>>7750228
Shit, I'd wear it. After I'd removed the lacing, of course.

>>7750276
I'm really stuck on it because on one hand, it's really tacky.

But on the other hand....

Madoka witch coord.

>>7750228
I think it's beautiful tbh
It'd probably look like shit on a real person, though. That's the sad thing.

>>7750284
No, anon, it's really terrible. Have some self respect.

Does anyone have reviews/worn pictures of this?

>>7750307
There's something strangely appealing about it, but I feel like it has some better application than a skirt like that, I just don't know what it is.

>>7750228
holy fuck, what an abomination... and here I thought Bodyline was starting to get a little better

>>7750313
I've seen some worn photos on the bodyline love tumblr, I think?

>>7750197
>>7750176
>>7750156
Wait, why do people hate antique clock? Is it overused?

I generally don't like prints that are too flowery/girly, that's my reasoning. At the same time, I don't want something too plain...

>>7750143
buy two dif skirts and sow em together ye?

>>7750313
I have this in black. The material is quite soft, and doesn't get wrinkles easily. It's pretty comfy and warm.Also it's super cute and it's OK for it's price

>>7750313
Hi, this is a large being worn on my 34" bust/29" waist. It's made of a very thick velvet and wears heavy and kind of stuff. The gold also stands out more in person. It's very warm and would be good for a winter coord, soft on the inside, generally good quality. It does sit a little boxy on the body and doesn't create a very tapered silhouette on its own--however, the length of it nips the waist in where its actual fabric would fail. Would recommend for a military/marching band lolita coord but not really for casual wear.

>>7750845
People hate it because it's cheap looking, and the colors and patterns clash. Also, nearly everyone who wears it is either ita or new to lolita. It's an extremely popular babby's first dress, and screams "hai guyz im new lel!"
The clock print also attracts steampunks, as a previous comment said. Steampunk lolita is something that's becoming insanely popular among the female nerd crowd, and pretty much all of them completely misunderstand what lolita is.

>>7750845
Also, if you're worried about being "too girly" then lolita might not be the style for you.

What do y'all think about chocoberry? Apparently its got a rep similar to antique clock?

>>7750893
*stiff not stuff

>>7750307
It is lovely, in a madoka kinda way like anon said. but yeah, it would look like shit on a person. would not buy. also diff anon

/r/ing either photos or the style number of a really ugly floral bodyline skirt that came in sort of a wine colorway?

>>7750901
>>7750910
...Fine, those are good points.

I looked around a little more, (the ones I saw linked didn't appeal to me that much) and found something like this?

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct.asp?id=5015&pageNumber=4&pageStop=stop_4&noSubType=N

Would this be alright for a new loli, or is the print too busy or something? I've noticed it's a lot cheaper, which is good .

>>7750957
I own this skirt the fabric is nice, not shiny.
Great for a casual coord

>>7750957
As a new loli, you have to research what's acceptable in lolita, and also develop an eye for what makes a clothing piece ita or of poor construction. For example, the skirt you linked has awful corset lacing, cheap lace, and ribbons out the wazoo that don't need to be there. Bodyline reds are also hit or miss, so I'd urge you to stay away from them. I'm not a fan of the pattern at all either. Try looking at the skirts I linked above, and even if you don't love any of them, see some common themes that make a good skirt.

This skirt scares me.

>>7750957
>being this tasteless

>>7751001
I have it in green and I like it

>>7750916
I like chocoberry a lot. It can be coorded well, like anything. Though since it's a bodyline piece a lot of girls who own it either don't have the wardrobe pieces to coord it well or don't have the skills and practice necessary to make it look good.

>>7751009
It just kind of reminds me of my aunt's Christmas disaster sweaters, lol.

>>7750143
>newfag ita detected

>>7750893
That jacket is really dark for that skirt. The print just doesn't have enough black in it for you to be wearing that beret and the jacket with it.
Also try a blouse that's ivory or cream.

>>7751001

I bought it when I was a babby loli despite thinking it was hideous because I got caught up in an eBay bidding war. I wore it once (pic related.), looked terribad and sold it. One of the biggest regrets I've ever had.

>>7751017
>calling people newfag itas in a bodyline thread

this is your chance to save a darling girl from making some terrible mistakes. direct her to a better place instead of being a crotchety cunt

>>7751077
To be fair that's not bad at all, if the skirt wasn't shaped like a melted funnel (or maybe it's your petti) it wouldn't be bad at all

>>7751095
I think her petti's crushed by her bag, I've had the same issue before

>>7751116
Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, that happens to me a lot. ~lolita problems~

>>7751095
>>7751116

Yeah, the bag was crushing the skirt. However, that skirt also has the problem of not fitting much petti at all. I like to think my coording has improved a bit since then.

>>7751001
I have it in black because my mom made me buy it a few years ago before I had my own paypal account and she more or less controlled my wardrobe. I hate the black colour way and the fact that it says "strawberry shortcake" on it makes me feel really babyish especially when all of my friends come closer to read it.

>>7751149
Your mom made you wear lolita? Especially Bodyline?

>>7751149

You have my sympathy, anon. The black colourway of that print is one of the ugliest "lolita" items ever made.

>>7751152
>>7751157
No, I love lolita. I wanted to get the chocoberry jsk in green but it was "too expensive" and I really needed something that wasn't brand (my wardrobe only had two pieces back then from IW and meta) to go to a meet where it could potentially be destroyed, so I thought this skirt in mint was kinda cute. However she didn't want me to get the mint colorway as it is too summery so I had to get black. And then I tried to remove that garish ruffle (the bows are really shitty and lopsided irl) at the bottom and got in trouble.

>>7751177
Your mother sounds like a psychotic control freak.

>>7751612
Ehhh she can be like that sometimes but she means well.
Looked back at my coord and I am quite unimpressed with what I considered to be good at the time.

>>7738962
oh god, why is this so cute?
I can see so many cringe-worthy cords with these.

>>7750916
No way. Chocoberry actually can work in a decent coord. It's just people coord the green and the black badly and the JSK cut looks awful. Skirt is the way to go.

>>7750317
Lamp shade?

>>7751713
I was thinking non-lolita halloween. But it would probably look like Hot Topic shit in person even without the lacing.

>>7750916
I personally hate it so much, the print is ugly.

Have you guys seen any coords of absolutely shit prints that somehow manage to work? I'm curious but worried about leading the noobs here astray.

>>7739064
jesus christ i pissed myself @ this

>>7751721
I'd honestly wear that skirt + a black flowy sleeved blouse and make a witch coord out of it.

But my town is full of weebs so they'd all see it and also think of Madoka and be like "aaaahaha. You're a witch!"

>>7751971
I mean, what's the point if no one recognizes you?

>>7751690
What about the waffle print? Could it possibly be worn well? Is it bad that I even like it? (I have this weird love of breakfast prints ever since I got Honey Cake)

>>7751177
i feel you anon
im still under my parents roof (18, still got about a year to go till college) and we seriously had a half-hour long conversation of white vs cream shoes

How long does it usually take for Bodyline's shipping to update? They should have shipped my shit by now, it's already Wednesday in Japan and they ship AIR on Tuesday.

>>7752909
they are slow with updating. check back in a week or so
