Can I see some really good bodyline coords? Since noobs are often pointed towards bodyline, what would you consider a really good coord with mostly bodyline and offbrand items?

>>7989128
The things that make a great co-ord pretty much stay the same, regardless of the brand - if the cut is decent, the material quality is acceptable with an attractive design, then you can make a nice outfit with it. As far as making a nice outfit with a nice/decent dress goes, it usually comes down to attention to detail (no sloppy styling or being half-assed) and being able to match pattern and color. Another tip is, if the dress is slightly cheap/mid-range looking, go for smart, sophisticated looking accessories for a more polished look - BL dress in pic very related.

I follow this girl on tumblr, everything she puts together is so flawless. I know it's not the ott stuff trending, but idgaf, she always looks so elegant and put together, her looks are very timeless.

>>7989290

>>7989314

>>7989314
She's got Taylor Swift's face almost.

>>7989312
I love her too, but something about her wigs always looks so off to me, I wish she'd get better ones. Then she'd be 100% perfect.

>>7989326
She is half brazilian, half japanese.

>>7989336
Might be the makeup, she doesn't look it.

And, I didn't mean it in a bad way, I think TSwift is p. cute.

>>7989336
Wow really? I never would have guessed that. Her face makes all of her co-ords look like she's a vintage hollywood star or something.

>>7989340
She's pretty cute, I think she's the most flawless brazilian lolita.

>>7989340
In pictures where she's wearing less makeup she looks more Japanese, imo.

>>7989344
Search for mysubarashiilolidays in google to find her blog (I can't post here).

>>7989336
>be half japanese half brazilian
>I look like shit

fuck genetics man, some people are so lucky

>>7989312
Really? Her coords are too matchy matchy and very much the same.

>>7989398
I don't agree at all, she doesn't go super OTT but her co-ords are far from samey, and "everything matching well" does not necessarily equal "matchy-matchy". Different strokes, though, I guess. I just prefer simpler, well put together co-ords than giant leaps of creativity that so often end up looking like a mess.

>>7989390
Not being vendetta, but I dont think she's THAT pretty. She's someone with beautiful feactures and a lot of money to spend in beauty products and healthy food.

>>7989411
I kind of agree, I think she has interesting features that she knows how to flatter, but she's not gorgeous or anything. I still love her co-ords, though.

>>7989425
I admire her courage to use full lolita coords everyday.

>>7989425
I admire her courage to go out in full lolita coords everyday.

>>7989312
Do you have a link,anon?

Bought items in pic related for a grand total of $51 with free shipping, I'm really happy with everything. Only thing that wasn't great was having to pay $22 in customs fees but that's no fault of bodyline, just one of the downsides of shopping for lolita stuff if you live in the UK.

shoes198 are basic but comfy and are great for running errands etc, when you're not necessarily getting dressed up for photos etc. They're nice for otome and non-lolita stuff too.

shoes267 are very dollyish and cute and very comfy, they seem to run slightly large however - I'm usually 24.5 and they're a touch big. If you're between sizes it might be worth getting the size down.

dress l310 (in size M) is damn nice for the price, the white side bows look awkward and cheap and the cameo in the center of the bow brooch is a bit tacky but other than that, the quality is pretty great. I wasn't sure at first when I saw it looking sad and crumpled in its bag but really, I couldn't be happier and it fits great. The waist is quite roomy without being super baggy (the separate waist tie to pull it in to the desired fit is a nice touch) but I would say that if your bust is larger than 86cm (which is what I am) it may start to look slightly tight and less than perfect. If your bust is over 88cm it's gonna look kinda crushed and be very tight.

>>7989405

/cgl/ has been on this kick of "If you can't throw x color into a print where this is none, you're boring". Same if you don't pile on the head bows and jewelry, it's considered boring.

I don't know, I'm all for people who can make all sorts of out there things work, but I find nothing wrong with basic matching coords that stick to the basic palette of a dress.

>>7989314
I need a hat like this; what would that style be called? It's... almost like a fez, but not quite?

>>7989507
l310 is easily my favorite Bodyline dress that I own; it's so soft and I just keep stroking the velvet. I can't wait for it to cool down more so i can wear it in a winter coord

>>7989128
Commencing photodump.

>>7989617
I suck with naming things, but it reminds me of a Pillbox hat.

I'm very sorry if i'm wrong about the type of hat, and am fully prepared to be burned at the stake.

>>7989634

>>7989637

Also, I think >>7989635 is right and that's a pillbox hat. These days though you're probably better off searching vintage hat/fascinator unless you're actually talking to a milliner.

>>7989641

>>7989644

>>7989647
Last one [for now]. This is definitely more a photoshoot only outfit and I'm not 100% on the shoes but I think it's very cool.

>>7989637
>>7989634
How do they keep their blouses from riding up? Are they just stretchy or?

I have a chiffon blouse I want to wear with an underbust skirt like this, but it keeps riding up when I lift my arms and then it's all poofy and looks bad.

>>7989507
>l310
>sleeve length 60 cm

B-based Yan-sama, one of your long sleeves will fit me

Mr Yan Piñata (photo from the Bodyline fanpage)

>>7989724
I personally tuck my blouses into all my layers so under the skirt, petti, bloomers and even tights if I'm wearing them. That keeps them tucked in. Also, they've probably made sure they looked good before taking the photo.

>>7989754
I wish someone would throw me a Mr.Yan party with this thing and a Mr. Yan cake and we could all carry Mr.Yan pillows

>>7989326
She looks like an Oblivion Altmer.
I love her though, she always makes me want to buy Bodyline stuff. Especially skirts.

>>7989724
>>7989994
I do the tucking too but it doesn't always work, especially if I have to raise my arms a lot. Plus, having to fix your blouse by reaching down under your skirt and petticoat is pretty... unladylike. It get annoying to have to run to the bathroom every time my blouse gets messed up.
I've always wanted to try shirt stays (pic related) but the only ones I can find are for dudes and wouldn't work with a knee-length skirt and hosiery.

>>7989724
>>7990327

I use 2-4 of these dress clips, basically shorter shirt stays that works with thigh highs (I never wear knee socks). They work great. You can buy them at JoAnn's. Sockdreams also has adjustable ones: http://www.sockdreams.com/products/double-grip-clips:10344

>>7989754
>That face
>That hand placement
Pls someone make a meme out of this

>>7989507
I'm afraid of "long sleeved" bodyline dresses because the sleeves ended so fucking short

>>7990313
We could put Mr. Yan in a cake and have him jump out.

>>7989634

I adore this skirt but wish I had a small instead of medium. It doesn't go in at the waist all the way laced closed... It also requires A LOT of poof underneath but it's a lovely, solid skirt.

>>7990327
It is unladylike but I tend to adjust myself on trips to the bathroom. Also putting a stretchy nurse belt around my waist obi style before the skirt

>>7989724
The first pic is an OP.

>>7989290
Which one is this?

>>7989411
Yeah I'm sure she's only pretty because of all the expensive food she buys and you're a lardass because you're too poor for chicken, tomato and beans.

>>7989644
What dress is this?

>>7990373
You may actually find that this dress is ok, it has the longest sleeves out of almost all the long sleeved items they've released. I have crazy Mr. Tickle arms and the cuffs still sat nicely over my wrists. I would say that the sleeve length of 60cm as stated is pretty accurate (besides even if the sleeves do come up slightly short, it's not the sort of style where it's going to look really awkward).

I made this for my comm

( in Latin America is common to made a doll of Judas and after burn him, and people sometimes give you money for fireworks)

>>7989644
>>7990428
That's l329 with the satin bows removed, looks good!

>>7989411
>>7990426
As if healthy eating is expensive lol

>>7989652
oh my....
I wondered what this looked like irl....

>>7991394
>Do you even shop?

Actually it is anon. If you want to eat gluten free foods or foods without bio products except to shop around, grow it yourself, or pay out out of the ass for healthy foods.

Many times the foods that you see in the supermarket that's healthy isn't.

I'm not talking about a damn salad or vegetables. I'm talking about foods that have no pesticides, no chemicals, nothing at all and seafood that isn't farm raised/come from Thailand.

>>7989652
everything is dope but the legwear its white with offwhite == naw

>>7989617
>>7989635
>>7989641
It looks more like a brimless cloche hat. A pillbox hat looks more stiff. Hmm

Those types of hats are hard to pull off.

>>7991403
Oh you.

The produce I buy is locally grown so maybe I'm just lucky. Either way if you're shopping for yourself it surely shouldn't be so hard. Unless you're eating far more than you should be.
Gluten free? Suck it up and just don't wolf down bread all the time.
Seriously, what the hell are you eating?

>>7991430
It depend on the country and area. I don't know where you live but tomatoes here are $3-5 per pound. Not the cheap ones but the good ones. Unless you know a farmer's market except to pay a lot of money for healthy foods. Also fish isn't locally grown here. Fish from Thailand and China are not healthy and proven to be bad for you.

>Suck it up and just don't wolf down bread all the time.

God can you be even more ignorant?

>http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/gluten-free-diet/art-20048530

My friend suffers from celiac disease and not only did she have to change her whole diet but she also had to stop eating certain brands/could only eat at certain restaurants due to "Cross contamination." So yeah she has to pay out of the arse due to restrictions and she can't enjoy a lot of things with us, including booze.

So I have no idea why you say that food isn't expensive when it can be anon.

>>7991449
But you're not your friend or whatever and yeah I know how that can be cos I knew a few people like that.

What was I supposed to take from this?

Where are you even from?

>>7991472
>You're not my friend or whatever

This is /cgl/ am I suppose to be your friend?

I'm not replying after this. Shiposter is confirmed shitposter.

>>7991480
Haha, wow. She said you aren't -your- friend. As in you're not the girl you are talking about. You don't have first hand experience with what you're talking about, just second hand assumptions.

>>7991480
Nice going.

That's not even what I said hahaha

Just go back to eating your fattychan nest.

>>7991484

You really are lonely. Don't be pissy about the fact that someone else called you out on your stupidity.
Have fun with your pound of tomatoes. Hahaha

>>7991503
I didn't even call you a samefag, but you completely ignored the fact that you misquoted/misread what she said.

You have awful reading comprehension.

>>7991518
She was calling one of us the samefag.

>who buys half a kg of tomatoes anyway?

>>7991518
>>7991480
Both of you have awful reading comprehension.

>>7991524
Depending on the size, that's less than 8 tomatoes. It's really not that much if you eat them throughout the week.

Are y'all some of them Italians? Cuz here in America we eat McDonalds for every meal and that gets pricey.

>>7989128
So, since this thread is now out of hand, have some good flat-lay Bodyline outfits.

>>7991885

>>7991886

>>7991887

>>7991885
Where did you get the strawberry bag? it's adorable!

>>7992055
its actually from bodyline, they used to sell them.

>>7991403
You don't need gluten free chemical free food to be skinny or pretty. Moving the goal post.

>>7991885
>>7991888
I own this dress and I like these pics because it shows me how versatile a piece it is! Thanks for posting!

>>7992115
Which dress is it, anon?

>>7992055
That's an AP bag.

>>7992115
I own it too and I love it.
I'm looking for more red pieces to coord with it at the moment, any tips?

>>7991876
lol ewwww anon

>>7991867
even then that means you're eating the whole damn tomato

>>7991887
I thought this one would've been awful irl but it actually looks cute.

Any of the maid dress choices worth it?

>>7992116
l379
I heard the bodice is kinda awkward, but it can be easily covered by bolero or jacket.

>>7992580
Sort of doesn't seem worth it. What's the material?

>>7992616
I own the OP and I find it better than the JSK because of the weird chest.
It's bodyline usual polyester, but the skirt heart lace part is really pretty

Coords with the carousel print, in black especially? C'mon, tempt me to buy it!

>>7992643
I like the JSK but I'm a flatsie. If I had any boobage it would make me nervous.

>>7992658
yeah, I have boobs and it's not the greatest looking. But I usually wear a cardigan/bolero over it anyway.

>>7992658
You can always buy skirt version.

>>7992691
I have the JSK version and I like it but for anyone with over a B cup, I think skirt or dress version looks better. It's got such a pretty lower part, I'm glad there are options.

>>7989507
hey anon, may i enquire how tall you are? i like that dress a lot but i'm worried about it hitting too low on me, although i suppose i can get it tailored

>>7991423
it's definitely a cloche, you're correct

The website isn't working for me, anyone got a fix?

>>7989652
Oh, I actually kinda want this dress now.. but $93 for Bodyline?

>>7992696
I got a 4l for my 34jj's and it looks grand on, the jsk version. Liked it so much i ordered the skirt too.

>>7993272
If you use the yen trick its only about 59$ I just checked

>>7991403
>b-b-buh only the gluten free non-GMO vacuum sealed free range tomatoes at Whole Foods are healthy food!

Is this what Ameritards actually believe? Don't you have farmer's markets anywhere? Even if you don't it's honestly not like regular produce is pumped full of lard and then coated in poison, just prepare it correctly.

In here healthy and vegetarian is actually among the cheapest options, maybe second to eating only white bread and offbrand cookies. Meat is expensive, especially red, and so are other fatty products. So for the cost of one McDonalds cheeseburger I can make enough chicken soup to last for days.

>>7991449
>Celiac patients benefit from gluten-free diet so it must be miraculous for everybody!

Hahaha oh wow. Diabetics benefit from insulin shots, maybe you should try that too?

>>7991403
>seafood that isn't farm raised/come from Thailand

Uhhhh. I live in Thailand, and the farmed seafood here is amaaazing. Farmed seafood is alot better than harvested because it doesn't harm or imbalance any ecosystems, and it's all in controlled environments with filtered water and quality control. No Hepatitis oysters thank you.

Also >>7989411 you sound bitter and fat as fuck. Get a hydroponic rig grow some lettuce, that can be done in a tiny apartment for almost free organic veg long term. Store bought pre-prepared food is always more expensive. I can cook 10 servings of bolognese sauce for the price of 2 boxes of frozen pasta. I can bake a whole cheesecake for the price of 2 slices from the store. There's no excuse for being fat and lazy.

>>7992572
p-please?

>>7993410
>There's no excuse for being fat and lazy.

This so much. The only people I can understand being unable to do this are those truly in poverty that just don't have access to the facilities/equipment to cook. If you're into lolita chances are you have enough of an income to have access to a stove, freezer, and functioning cookware.

>>7993400
You can not make chicken soup that lasts for days for a dollar in fucking America. Please don't make statements like that, it only helps to make fatties discard your posts.

>>7991885
Is the bolero/cardigan BL too?

>>7993419
Not that anon, and I agree.
But you can make chicken soup that lasts for days for 5 dollars or less pretty much anywhere, and if you add it up, it's still cheaper.

>>7991885
>>7991886
Half of the stuff picured is brand though, isn't it? Except the dress itself and the shoes.

>>7993424
I think it's AP or BTSSB.

>>7993429
And they're all posted in response to an ask for outfits with Bodyline main pieces so...

I thought it was common knowledge that pairing Bodyline with not-Bodyline [brand, offbrand, indie, whatever] is the only way to make it look good.

>>7992691
Skirt and op are sold out since a looong time.... (in black)

mfw L379 sells out in 4L while I just clicked on Paypal button.

>>7993600
Dropped pic

>>7993466
That's not what OP asked for, though.
>what would you consider a really good coord with mostly bodyline and offbrand items?

>>7993600
It's still available in cream 4l on the rakuten

>>7993410
Farmed seafood actually does a lot of damage to the ecosystem. More than you'd think.

>>7993400
As an americunt AND someone who regularly vistis the farmers market, but you really have to be careful what you buy at them or you end up spending a decent amount more than you would eating bruised imported shit from the grocery.

Personally I've turned to shopping at my local Giant, they get what they can from local sources, they have lots of organic options, and they can keep their prices low because they're a big nationwide company. Plus they have gas rewards, so if I spend $100 in a month I get $0.20 off per gallon of gas for a purchase.

The problem is that people don't know that there are options to be had right under their noses, or they're like my boyfriend's mom and assume anything from a big name grocery store must be evil so they spend $12 on a bag of all natural organic sugar.

I'm also lucky enough to live around a lot ot Mennonite and Amish communities who have general stores and sell a lot of their extra grown foods really cheap when it's in season, too. $2 for a dozen ears of sweet corn picked that morning.

>>7993908
yeah, I live in the US too, and the farmer's market sucks. A lot of people reselling non organics for the same or more than I can get at the big box grocery stores.

Honestly, it's better to go to the flea market across town, buy the cheap stuff the mexicans are selling (which is the same as the shit I can get at a regular grocery store), or go to the asian market for my produce. It might not be perfect and organic but it is cheap.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that the only farmer's markets in my town are in the more affluent areas, so people can get away selling overpriced conventional produce to white people who don't know any better.

>>7993666
That actually depends, seafood farmed in pens on shores do affect the ecosystem, but tank farmed is self contained and doesn't do any damage to anything.

how do I order from the rakuten jp site to ship to america?

an item i want was removed from the global site

i cant figure it out

>>7994665
You'll need a shopping service.

>>7994675
Do you have a recommendation for one?

>>7994678
read the sticky, what is google, etc

>>7993666
"There are a lot of fish in the ocean. we think some should stay there :)"

if I hear this one more time at work though.

>>7993634
Eh, my bad. Sorry, it was late and I was pissy. Still, I do think that as a general rule 100% Bodyline outfits tend to not look so good as ones that mix and match.

>>7993666
>>7994004
Thai anon here. It's mostly done in tanks. At least all the fish/oyster/shrimp farms I've visited and buy from. Tanks mean 100% control over the filtration, saline, mineral, temperature, and quality of the water. You don't have to go around repairing nets and no problems of predators getting into your stock.

Eat some frozen shrimp fatty anon from before. It's low in calories and high in protein. Just watch your cholesterol.

>>7994747
??? Idgi

Keeping on topic. SO many girls will coord a Baby or AP main item with only offbrand or knockoff items. It would be hilarious to see a Bodyline main piece coorded with brand only accessories.

>top kek

>>7992803
163cm. It's a little higher above the knee than it appears in the photo, taking that lazy snap in the mirror has created all sorts of weird illusions and distortions (such as having the upper torso of She-Hulk paired with the legs of a small child).

It depends of your taste of course, but I actually think even if this dress hits a little longer than you're used to, it's the sort of style that can look nice sitting above, on or below the knee.

>>7994789
Just go look in the Bodyline coord thread...kind of a waste of brand...but I do think some Bodyline blouses and plain pieces are ok, just not their prints. The prints always look cheap to me.

Why the fuck does bodyline only restock Cinderella Bunny 2L in red?! Who the fuck wants it in red? It's the ugliest color way

>>7994756
Can someone take up the challenge to make a 100% bodyline coord look good?

>>7997077
That's probably why they have enough leftover to restock.

omg please i need help
i accidentally put a O instead of an 0 on my postal code in pay pal (i've just fixed it)
everything else is correct, will my packages from bodyline still reach me?

>>7997263
The problem with that is that bodyline doesn't sell bags.

>>7998161
It has bags. Not many but they have some.

>>7998218
and they are all shit.

>>7998244
>>7998218
You know you can leave a bag out of a coord if you're just posting it online and most people don't even notice

>>7998094
Yes it's fine. Deep breaths anon

I'm thinking of getting a lucky pack, but I'm stumped for the size. For the squirrel party jsk, I can wear an m or L but for the alice jsk (the one with the apron and harlequin pattern), I only fit the 2L. I'm thinking of getting the LP In large? Do you guys think it'll be okay?

>>7998867
Since their sizes are different for different dresses, you might have a few items that don't fit and some that do

>>7998161
>>7998218
>>7998244
I wish bodyline would sell proper bags.

>>7999167
Agreed. I know they've released some nice bags in the past, what happened?

>>7997263
One of my most popular coords on CoF and tumblr is 50% BL and 50% various offbrand, but I've never tried coording only BL before... I wish they'd make better blouses and cardigans/boleros. I'd be throwing much more money at them if they produced more decent basics instead of awkward print dresses that get delayed months and months and then turn out to be disappointing.

>>7999167
Same. They'd probably all be obvious replicas though, at least in the beginning.

Shoes255 just arrived in navy and gold, anyone want reviews?

>>7999435
sure

Does anyone know if P150 fits a petticoat underneath/knows of any worn pictures? I've seen in the archive that someone said it was worth the price and I'm thinking of getting it

>>7999435
That would be really appreciated, I am waiting for a gold pair but it will take at least another 10 days for it to arrive.

I've bought shoes255 before and they're equally comfortable as the ones I bought before. The gold color is very neutral imo, and it's pretty shiny. Navy doesn't gave the weird green hue to it.

>>7999302
>They'd probably all be obvious replicas though, at least in the beginning.
Just make some generic star shaped and heart shaped bags, maybe some more classical ones... Star bags in gold would sell like crazy.

Does anyone have a mainly pieces from bodyline wardrobe? Might I ask... And why do you chose it? I just think it's so damned easy to order from, with free shipping and being so cheap..like the l188 I got in the sale just past- the tights I wore with it cost more! get nothing but compliments on it. I dipped my toes in brand, got murdered on shipping and particularly custom fee's as I live in europe and we get hit for so little.The same with taobao, I got stuff in the victory day sales that were cheap as chips but shopping service and shipping fees matched the price of the items at the end of the day. Also I don't think I want 1 brand dress when I could get 6 on bodyline as my wardrobe isn't that big and I like plain pieces anyway that I could wear on the street without much fuss. A lot of the brand stuff is too fancy for me, I need semi practical ruffly dresses as I have pets that jump up with mucky paws and leave fur on me, and I need to be able to wash clothes regularly! I ask because I am just curious and noticed my closet is creeping towards full because I can't say no to cheap frillies!

>>7999815
You sound ita.

>>7999815
by "not so big" I mean like 25 jsks or so, like 16 skirts? maybe 2/3 bodyline....it doesn't feel like I have a lot but then I am a clothes hoarder anyway. It's a family trait.

>>7999821
I don't go for the cosplay costume items or dodgy lace monsters, but thanks. Great input into what I had hoped would be a discussion.

>>7999463
They look really nice anon. Do you already have some coords planned with these?

>>7999815
I also prefer simpler items that I can wear every day but still prefer to go for brand, IW in particular. They make a lot of beautiful but more casual pieces, although unfortunately they are more expensive and like you said, customs is a bitch.

The main reason I don't buy much Bodyline is because I don't really like any of their designs. IMO they have like two skirts that look decent (one of which is a replica), one or two nice OPs (one of which is a replica), one or two nice JSKs and only one decent blouse. I own one of those skirts and the blouse and while they're decent for everyday wear, they're clearly kind of cheap. All the dresses I've seen on other girls tend to look a bit cheap, too. There's always something slightly off about the cut, the materials, the details or the print. It's H&M quality, basically, which is exactly what I was running away from when I found lolita.
They're my go-to place for shoes, though! Their shoes are definitely good for the price.

Is Bodyline going to make a christmas sale like last year?

>>7999847
IW is where I got crucified with customs fee's they were around 300 euro's for the larger spring oddment pack! I know I would pay the same for an outfit as I did the items themselves, still it was a shocking amount to pay and put me off ordering from brand websites personally and I felt it negated the point of having a special overseas only trial of their items. Yes, Bodyline are the h&m/primark of lolita! And quite popular too, given the regularity with which a bodyline thread pops up in this forum. I don't see the same for brands which is strange. It's nice for someone with a mortgage, and a car to run with limited funds to be a little decadent with. The block colour dresses I own are sewn quite okay, no complaints. I've only bought one blouse and it felt papery. I am too old for the cutsey prints so cannot comment on those. Oh, the shoes look so pretty although I can't wear bodyline shoes if I need to walk in them any distance!
I need well put together shoes for my bad back, I go for clarks or hush puppies, duo had some lovely edwardian boots a few years back that I super stocked up on, am delighted to be able to wear with my lolita clothes.

My package has been stuck in customs for over a week. Feels bad man. I hope it gets here before christmas.

>>7999878
It's not IW's fault you got killed with customs - it's living in Europe that's your problem. We get $1000 to play with before customs/duty/tax is due.

>>7998273
bless you kind anon

What the fuck I just went to get some water and when I was back the last pair of shoes274 in deep red in my size was sold out

>>7999971
If you are in Europe, I think it's generally better to use a shopping service even if you want to get something directly from a brand shop, the fees will never be as high as our crazy customs.

>>7999167
Oh yeah. I'd waste so many monies...

>>7999815
Most of my main pieces [about 75%] are Bodyline, but I have blouses from lots of different places like brand, indie and taobao. I'm mostly classic though, which helps, as Bodyline floral and plain pieces are quite nice. I find BL fits me better than most brand I've had and as long as you wear it well it's fine. And I also do like the convenience of being able to wash it and the price is great.

>>8000292
Shopping services still send it to you from overseas, what's the point? I know they can mark down packages, but in my country at least, customs won't believe anything, you always have to bring proof of payment. So you'd have to fake your paypal/bank statements.

>>8000592
Where are you from? Because my point is that if you just mark down the package customs don't give a shit. At least in Italy, Finland and Estonia and other European lolitas I spoke to said the same.

>>8000592
>you always have to bring proof of payment. So you'd have to fake your paypal/bank statements.
No, you can just show like the shipping cost payment or something, usually the SS will charge for the item and then shipping, you can probably also ask for them to invoice you separately as the "value" so you can fake it. Trust me, they will do it. I live in Quebec and sometimes they will randomly ask for that too but I usually fake it easily.

How are Bodyline's wigs?

>>8000592
Depending on which one you use, they will mark it as a gift and wrap it if you want...

>>8000683
Germany. My local customs office is super anal about this stuff, I've never gotten a marked down package through. I try to use the shipping invoice when possible, like >>8000687 said, but I never thought of asking for a fake paypal invoice.

Are there any rumors of new dresses being released in the new year or were the three ones up recently the only ones?

>>8000831
Same here from Germany. Usually we bring fake paypal invoices but last time they didn't even buy that. They said it wasn't clear what the payment was for.

>>8000857
This, pretty much. To be honest, I'm pretty intimidated by our customs, and I would hate to get in trouble with them, since they kinda know me know and sometimes let me get by without opening the package, etc.

>>7992647
>>7992647

Are you tall? Do you have a long and very full petti? Because if not it'll look a bit derp. Love the dress nonetheless..

I want to buy some things from BL but it's almost the new year. Do you think I should wait in case there's some type of sale or buy it now before things get sold out?

>>8003704
Don't buy during a sale, your shit will take months to arrive. Also, you're not going to be saving much if you already buy in yen.

So I ordered two wigs and shoes300 over a month ago and finally the package came but the shoes were missing. The package hadn't been tampered with and the shoes were listed with the wigs as the content pf the package. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

>>8003704
If you're not in a hurry, I'd wait for a sale. But if you know what you want is popular enough to sell out, I'd say just use the yen trick and buy now.

does bodyline restock anything ever

>>8004210
Rarely.

>still waiting on shoe order from October

Bodypillow has reached US soil

>>8004522
Mr Yan is coming to town

>>8004523
>He's beating J-List
>A reasonable price
>Just wants a waifu who's naughty and nice
>Yandyman is coming to town
>restocks gold shoes when your sleeping
>Free shipping and and you'll wait
>For around about 3 months
>So choose ems for goodness sake.

>beige navy heels in cart
>took too long to checkout
>sold out

Goddammit. Does anyone know how often BL restocks shoes?

I was thinking about buying the mami tamoe cosplay from bodyline but I'm not sure, anyone know if the cosplays they sell are any good?

>>8004922
same. I've been considering their Junko cosplay for awhile, but I'm afraid it will be shit quality or a weird fit

>>8004522
Please post pics once you get it

>>8004922
I saw the mami cosplay in person for sale at a store, it was decent quality. Not super cheap and shiny, I almost bought it

>>8004948
So the cosplays on Bodyline are decent then?

>>8004956
From the ones I've seen, yes. I also saw the Ciel Phantomhive one, the blue was a bit cheap and shiny, but overall, fairly decent. For the price, they're a good deal.

>>7989344
A lot of old hollywood stars were not white but had to "pass" to make it in the industry so

>>8004946
I have to wait until I get money for Christmas, hopefully it isn't sold out by then

>>7991888
What tumblr are these coords from?

>>8004529

>>8004982
chocolate-maiden

Can I ask why there is so much Bodyline hate?

>>8007138
Because newbies without a wardrobe and poor coordination skills flock to it. Bodyline isn't inherently bad, as evidenced by this thread, but a total outfit made of it looks cheap. It tends to look best paired with other brands.

>>8000783
The natural colored ones like brown are pretty decent actually.

>>8004522
Your bl pillow is in my city. Where do you live anon? Let's have a meet up for our mr.yan pillows.

Best boleros/blouses?

>>8007215
Chicago area

>>7993412
a few people i know have costume 452 and they are really satisfied with it. Though they recommend that you remove the tacky lace at the bottom

how are the accessories on bodyline? Anyone bought any before?

>>8007613
I also own it in red. I really like it expect the buttons the apron a loose and sort of flop down. Other than that, it's cute and can fit a small petti underneath it.

>>8007637
*are loose

>>8007637
That's probably just because you have disgusting tits.

>>8007645
What is your problem? The bottons were sewn on loose on the apron front, which is separate from the dress. They serve no other purpose than to be ascetic. It had nothing to do with how small or big the boobs are. It was bodyline not sewing the buttons on tight enough.

>>8007651
Example of costume 452 with the loose buttons on the bottom row. They can be easily fixable.

>>8004942
>>8004922
They're not TERRIBLE quality. Most of the older ones are just polyester but I bought the Senbon Zakura Miku one and the fabric is super nice!

>>8007657
I need that phone case like Africa needs a cure for ebola.

>>8004794
When Mr. Yan hears the whispers from the sea that beckon to him to update the online store's stock.

In all seriousness, it's completely random and sporadic.

>>8007657
That just looks like a fetish custome. Then again that's BL for ya.

>>8008045

It's cute like any other menudo cosplay that isn't PVC, stupidly short/low cut or involving fishnet stockings. It's no more fetishy than seifuku, but then again everyone ruined cute uniforms by immediately associating them with porn... Solid tights would make this look a bit less bedroom-ready however

>>8004504
>still waiting for the unicorn print

>>8008067

>associating them with porn

Surprised sailor uniforms are still a thing, given how much of a fetish they are in Japan. You know those gym bloomer things they used to wear? Apparently don't exist much anymore in Japanese schools due to the fetish thing.

>>8007635
>>8007635
I bought a haul of their jewelry once and while it is sturdy, tapping the metal with your thumb you can tell its a cheap metal. It also makes your skin green. I only wear the necklaces if I can tuck the chain under a blouse collar so it doesn't touch my skin. Half of the pocketwatches even worked. All of them are functioning but only some of them come with batteries. I haven't tried their rings. My friend got some of their punk collars and armbands and they were decent for the price. The hairbows and pieces I've gotten have been decent except anything with lace on it. The lace is always awful. The wrist cuffs are itchy but it depends on which ones you get if they look okay or not. You can tell from the pictures.

>>8007651
Nah, it's your huge disgusting tits. Although in this pic >>8007657 you look like a man.

>>8008045
It looks fetishy on her because her gross tits.
>>8008067
Anything and anyone else would make it less fetishy.

Looks like my bodyline package might be here in time for Christmas. It's a Mr. Yan Christmas Miracle

>>8008202
You guys are mean :(

>>8008067
It's too short on her and the bare legs and arms make it fetishy. Hair and headdress are also a little trashy. Maybe it would be less sexual if she was less thick.

>>8008212
By less thick you mean had the proportions of a child

>>8008215
By thick they mean if she didn't have such disgusting tits.

>>8008218
Lmao troll go back to /b/

>>8008218
I don't get it? Could you explain this to me

>>8008218
Please relax, she looks fine. Just a little too much of a contrast to the little girl look.

>>8008231
Not from /b/, sis, but ei666shii has some big nasty tits and a fucked up face.
>>8008233
If you've seen her in any thread she constantly bitches about her tits and then self posts at any given chance. That's why she posted this pic, she probably just took it for this thread too.

Are their wigs worth it? Or could I get the same quality on Aliexpress for less

Hey, I have a noob question. Two weeks ago, I was sure I placed my order to bodyline. I understand that it should be a bit of a wait for an email notificiation, but no sign of it yet, not even from paypal. I even checked my credit card statement and there's no sign of payment towards paypal or anything related to my purchase.

Did it go through or not? DO I have to order again?

>>8008334
Go to the tracking on the bodyline website and see if any current orders come up with your email.

>>8008393
They only have my older order on it from november.

>>8008198
The person in the pic isn't even me

>>8008396
Then it probably didnt go through

>>8008472
There just trolls ur qutiefull

>>8008477
They're coming in here being all off topic and salty talking about my gross tits and shit
And commenting on a picture of a girl I used to show a design flaw with costume 452 that isn't even me. It's pretty fucking funny. Not for the girl in the pic tho. I think she looks fine. Don't mind a girl with some leg on her.

Anyway, body pillow is going to be here probably Wednesday or Thursday if USPS decides to do their job. I'm totally dressing up in the ita thing ever and having tea with it. Gonna make a video.

>>8008503
I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to see all the trolls pictures after those things come in

>>8008660
Dude, I can't wait. I'm going to do such shitty make up. Plus somebody gave me a bright pink and orange mix GLW with curly ponytail clips.

>>8008074
>unicorn print coming on Valentines

>>8008198
>>8008202
Wow, you have issues.
It looks fetishy because it's a fucking maid costume from bodyline. Girl in pic is a total qt.

>>8008242
The girl in the pic barely even has tits, calm the flip down.

>>8008731
my ass
then will say for summer

Anyone know if shoes 136 are true to size?

>>8008731
Praise

Should I be worried?

>>8009032
It took me three months to get an EMS package.
I say hold tight.

>>8008185
Do they wear regular gym/b-ball shorts now, or?

>>8009032
Well it is the holiday season. They're probably really busy at the sort facility. I'd wait til after New Years to start getting concerned.

>>8009032
tracking isnt very accurate this time of year. I just received a package today that the tracking says is still on the other side of the country.

>>8004942
I actually bought it. Not bad for the price, and the skirt is thicker than another one of their plaid skirts I bought. Would you be interested in pictures?

Requesting some coords with Military Sweets, preferably in black or green. Thanks!

>>8000831
I am from germany too and I only get hit by customs when using EMS and similar fast shipping methods, never with Bodyline's airmail.

>>8009056
They only changed the bottom part to shorts, that's all.

Bodypillow is out for delivery!

>>8007946
you can easily find it on ebay
"devil phone case"

Guess who could make Christmas dinner?!

>>8010847
beauty

>>8010847
excuse me, why aren't you posting more?

>>8010861

My boyfriend walking in on me taking this shot and he started yelling "GET THAT THING OUT OF HERE!"

>>8010884
jesus christ

I just snorted uncontrollably at this. I'm not sure whether I should be thanking you.

>>8010884
I don't know if I'm laughing because it's funny or if it's because I'm scared

This body pillow came at the best time because all my family is coming over for christmas and I can't wait to place this thing in the bathrooms or in other odd places. Nobody will be safe from Mr. Yan.

>>8010884
>>8011140
I love this, this made my night.

>>8011140
I love you so much right now. You have made my night

Yandy Man what is this

>>8011424
It's lady gaga waffle

>>8011424
but on a brighter note YES AT LAST I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO COSPLAY BEST MAGICAL GIRL

>>8007657
>those saggy bottom buttons

HOLY SHIT I am so glad I'm not the only one who has this problem. I have this fucker in navy and it did the same shit to me too. Pray tell, how are you going to fix it?

>>8011427
i was excited when I saw this too.

>>8011428
not original anon but...just get a needle and thread and sew the button on tighter? my favorite coat came with a couple loose buttons (lol clearance rack) and i sewed them down tight. 2 years later they're still fine.

>>8011424
I have no idea, but you can bet your ass I'm gonna buy it.
Maybe make a fake coord with it and post it to CoF to see what response it gets.

>>8011424
It looks too short for lolita. It only touches the top of the manicans thighs

>>8011819
Looking forward to seeing you posted on here

>>8011427
If you get it please review! I'd love to do Sakura too.

>>8011424
Oh god, I should buy this just to wear it to Lady Gaga's next tour.
>p-p-p-pokerface

>>8010884
>>8011140
I just had to make up a bullshit reason for why I started laughing hysterically at my laptop because my boyfriend would never understand the true glory of Mr Yan. Thank you so much for this.

>>8011821
>psst you mean mannequin/manikin

>>8008198
Her tits looks average at the most you sandy twat. Also, i think its the uniform that makes it fetishy, also, her legs, while not being unpleasant to look at, are not helping the fetishy complaint, try solid tights, would probably fix that.

Why SHOES224 will come (again) but for 80$ instead of 50 $ ?
I mean, they're exactly the same and the 50$ ones aren't sold out.

>>8011821
I read it as magician and pictured our beloved wizard wearing it

>>8011846
Probably special Christmas price. Lmao most likely lazy employee messed up

>>8008185

I think the fetish thing is more of a problem outside of japan, where people genuinely don't see seifuku as actual clothing and more as a porny costume. Most don't realise how popular sailor collars were in vintage fashion (though that now has a sexual element to it..) and children's clothing. I know some people who seem to think anyone wearing seifuku is asking for it or they are a pornstar (totally ignoring the fact millions of schoolgirls are then sexualized whether they like it or not) I'm glad the uniform didn't get scrapped though. It'd fucking suck if we had to get rid of nurse uniforms or nun habits because of other people's perversion. I'm no prude but why should I not be able to wear something perfectly modest because someone else made it a 'dirty' thing?

But screw it, seifuku is cute as fuck. I love looking at old photos of kids in sailor uniform too. Thinking of getting one of the pastel BL ones but fear backlash from parents because of aforementioned concerns.

Did anyone else buy the cat piano dress? I resisted the urge to get yet another sweet print in black and went for pink. Fingers crossed for sizing.

>>8011821
I love the dress itself but fuck the print. Judging from the mannequin it will actually be knee length or longer on me lol

>>8011428
I sewed them on tighter

Guys. So, I really really want to buy one of these Yandaki and send it to Penus.

>>8011823
I'm doing a bodyline order sometime soon for some blouses and shoes and stuff so if I have enough money left over I'll throw the costume in as well!!

>>8011846
Generally the price of items gets lower and lower as they run out of stock. Then when they restock they jack up the prices.

Many of their older JSKs went from $20 to $80 for the same reason

Shit that mail bitch just threw a card in my mailbox when I know she saw my car sitting in yard. Looks like I'm not getting my Bodyline until after Christmas. The post office closes early today so I can't pick it up ugh

>>8012047
They're really rushed today, a mail carrier just delivered a package out of uniform and in his own personal vehicle.

They're trying their best to get everything out and are likely on a time crunch. They probably didn't want to waste any time

>Extended family comes over last night
>We all get wasted
>drunkenly stumble into bed
>Wake up at Noon
>Look to my right
>Mr. Yan bodypillow
>forgot to take it off my bed
>slept with Mr. Yan body pillow
>biggest regret of my life

Seriously I don't even care about the hang over, I basically had a one night stand with Mr. Yan.

>>8012097
I know but she always does this. My neighbor works from home and will try to run out there and catch her if she knows one of us has a package coming but that bitch will drive off as fast as she can when she sees our neighbor walking out there. The only time my neighbor can catch her is if she waits at the mailbox but sometimes that lady comes really early or really late.

>>8012126
Idk that sounds more like something that would give you bragging rights

>>8012610
>bragging about one night stand with Mr. Yan

>>7999857
I think BL will not make any sale this year...

>>8012612
>mentioning your one night stand with Yan at all
You secretly want people to know, c/mon.

>>8012616
ew lol
ya got me

>>8012612
She can be queen of the Bodyline and get all the kawaii uguu dresses she wants

>>8012613
They might be saving something for the New Years or Valentines day.

i got my bodyline package with 2 pairs of bloomers, a blouse, and a maid dress because why not. and oh my lord, the color looks /NOTHING/ like it does in the photos. look at this nasty pink. this is suppose to look like costume655.
another thing about this is that it runs super big, this is a m, in the picture it might look normal but when i put the dress on the waist was huge. and its not me, i have many other bodyline pieces in m that fit fine.
but other the color and size issue, the quality is pretty good, thick and pretty cozy. it came with a detachable bow not pictured. its mainly the color that makes me so sad. its so gross salmon looking!

>>8013689
oooh! rotate you!

>>8013692
and heres the pink in the photo. i will never get over this! thanks stupid mr yan!

>>8013696
That's a damn shame

>>8011870
nurse uniforms don't look like what you can buy in porn stores at all. They look like unsexy, practical, unisex clothing for people who earn their living surrounded by sickness, blood and shit.

>>8011424
I really hope they restock this. Not Lolita of course but tacky as fuck and I love it.

>>8013729
They've never seen a real nurse before lmao. They wear scrubs. Nurse costumes are like what they used to wear in like the 50's

>>8013755
They have it like that cuz it's not for sale yet. It'll prob be available in the next couple days

>>8013761
Oh good, I didn't realize they did that. I thought they put the prices up really high on the other site like they did with the new cat print. Here's fingers crossed to getting money for Christmas!

>>8013689
>>8013692
I actually like that pink better than the stock image pink.

I got an accessories lucky pack. There wasnt anything awful in it but the shoes are too small :/ I really like the rhs too. I can give the punk belt and the tie to a friend who likes visual kei. I like the broach and I always need more tote bags. So yeah. Probably going to sell the shoes. The rhs have a scuff on the toe of one.

>>8015577
How much was the pack and did it let you select a shoe size?

>>8015712
With yen trick it comes out to 40$ but there was one day there that it came out to 20$ using yen trick. You can't choose shoe size which is the problem. The shoes were size 240 and 245 so if your foot is about that size you might be okay. I was hoping to get random socks and jewelry

>>8013689
Maybe they put it in the lucky pack because a factory error with color? Mr. Yan would totally do that. Didn't somebody get like 14 detachable sleeves in one lucky pack?

My maid outfit finally came in! It's costume 598, and I can do a small review if anybody wants one.

>>8015911
It was 17 sleeves and someone also got a bag of full of the same necktie

Size M still in stock, don't miss out!
>OK fess up, who ordered one this year...

>>7989724
Elastic koshi himo. They keep everything tucked, even slippery chiffon. Regular tie ones work too but a little less well.

The only dress I want from Bodyline sold out only in the color/size I wanted right when I got money for Christmas. I'm not surprised.

>>8015766
>size 245
...which pair of shoes came in that size?

Really hoping that Bodyline will restock all the lucky packs or make new ones for New Years since fukubukuros are huuuuuge in Japan.

>>8015911
but... i didnt get this in the lucky pack, i just ordered it.

>>7989024
why is there constantly a bodyline thread; the only thing bodyline is truly good for is shoes, people give bodyline far too much attention 9/10 getting a decent basic black jsk or op or the few decent floral bodyline skirts you'd still be better off getting smth of taobao (or gasp! brand!!)

>>8016528
mr yan, duh

>>8016531
i take back everything i said
i am sorry
i have been unloyal
<3yanforever

I can't find any review of shoes 302 which shows the shoes worn. Anyone who has them?

>>8015953
That would be greatly appreciated, anon!
