WTB: AATP Hymn skirt in Ivory

>>8176320
m8 r u even trying, this has been on Y!J for the past month
> http://page19.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x380672299

>>8176317
Someday this will be mine!

>>8176327
I only found out the name of it today and I hadn't looked yet, you are the real MVP anon

Even when it is sold, it's never in my size, ugh. One day.

I can understand why no one sells, but I just want it on my body.

Still after Kumya-chans Holly Night ONLY in this cut/colorway.

>>8176342
Shut the fuck up, it's mine.

It's so frustrating because I feel like Sweet Cream House is one of the most easily attainable prints ever but it's always in a different colorway or cut. There's ALWAYS SOMETHING in the auctions but it's never what I want.

>>8176849
I'm pretty sure I saw it on y!a yesterday

I've only ever seen Clara being sold in green or yellow ugh.

2014 was so good to me for obtaining my dream dresses, here's to hoping I get a few this year too.

>>8176890
Isn't this on LM?
http://www.lacemarket.us/btssb-tea-time-nostalgia-nave/

>>8176898
I only want the green, but thanks anon!

>>8176902
Oh sorry! Well I hope you find it then, i'll keep a look out. :)

>>8176317
this ETC dress, which I'm desperate for any information on

It's not a skirt but I want that bonnet so bad and I don't even know who made it or what it's called. Eff....

>>8176972
I would keep an eye on Closet Child for this, I feel like I've seen it before somewhere.
ETC dresses don't have set names so it's hard to search for.

>>8177001

Looks like a Triple Fortune bonnet, or at least a copy of one.

>>8177013
>>8177001
Triple Fortune indeed, the brooch on the bow is their's.

Powder Rose Chest Ribbon jsk in white, this cut and color only. Seems like people are trying to unload this print recently, so I'm hoping my unicorn might turn up!

>>http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_463664142.html?_SRC=li_i0

here's the purple version in a different cut if it helps you anon!
>>8176972

>>8176972
Pretty sure this exact dress sold on Closet Child within the last month for like 8-10k.

anon I FOUND IT

Berry Garden OP in red. I want it so bad.

Right now I'm trying to get AP's French Cafe OP and waiting for the release of AP's University OP.

I had to share gulls.....
>So almost a year after original release of this dress I was able to get it!
>Great price too!
>Shipping took forever due to the blizzards.
>Over 2 weeks I waited and it's finally here!
>The girl forgot matching accessories listed...
>It's alright, she'll send em out.
>But! I give this "perfect condition" dress a look over....
>there's fucking glue on the dress straps.
>I just spent 20 minutes picking hot glue off this dress trying not to mess up the fabric.
>I can remove all but a tiny spot (better than all of it still there)
>Y___Y
>UUUGGGGHHHH
>How the fuck does this even happen??
>Dream dress is acquired though.
>SMH
>Done buying on the western market.

>>8178593
Thought this was the mail thread and had to do a double take at your post.
>polite sage for OT

>>8179263
If only, anon. The total cost of an order like that would make wallets cry worldwide.

>>8179253
I sure hope you left the seller a negative. Lord.

Innocent World Round Collar Ribbon OP in any colorway besides black. I saw it on Y!Japan for 10000 but Japonica didn't get back to me in time and the auction ended. If anyone sees it please let me know!!!!

i'll be a bitter-chan (no funds atm) and post this here. hopefully a seagull will get it and i can live vicariously through them

end of immortal eden navy jsk

>http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w117821802
oh holy shit thank you so much!

>>8177040
I have seen a lot of this OP and the other JSK lately, I'll keep my eyes peeled for this version for you

I used to see a ton of people asking for this dress in these threads, never seen it for sale before so here you go possible dreamdress-anons?
>http://www.lacemarket.us/aatp-kuranosuke-stripe-jsk-altered/

>>8180555
That is the ugliest effin "professional" alteration I've ever seen.

>>8180555

Gosh that looks awful.

At this point, I'll gladly take one of the other colorways as well (pink or sax).

Prefer blue, short version but would consider the other colorways in short OR a long blue. Japanese auctions are better for me right now because of the USD exchange rate, but I'd consider Western market options too. Thanks!

>>8180693
This was literally just up on lacemarket, anon! The skirt was too, don't know if it's still there.

>>8180693
>>8180695
JSK sold, but skirt is still there
>http://www.lacemarket.us/innocent-world-rose-stained-glass-skirt-in-blue-long-ver-altered-to-fit-larger/
In case you're willing to settle for now!

Please and thanks, any colorway other than brown.

I remember on another dream dress thread (the last one?) people were talking about Twinkle Journey. Well, the OP in wine just showed up for pretty cheap:
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f151297297

>>8180270
This goddamn stock photo bugs me so much because of that awful photoshop they did on this damn thing. It's like they just took a retouch brush and stroked out with it.

>>8180524
3 OP's got listed in the past week on LM! Thank you anon!! The black version popped up, but it was reserved for someone and in pretty ratty condition besides. I may have to lower my standards a bit and get pink or yellow if they happen to pop up. Ever..

>>8176317
I used to laugh at this design when it was released, now I am being punished by fate.

new to lolita so I don't know many dresses but /r/ing beautiful bunny dresses please!

>>8181255
I think the white and pink OPs are up, or were up recently, on either y!j or mbok. With the way they're popping up lately I'd hold out a little longer for the JSK if I were you, anon

this fucking thing which I've never once seen for sale ever.

>>8181587
There's still two or three on lm too, I just double checked. I've only been checking once a day or so everywhere though because I've gotten a bit discouraged. Thank you for the words of wisdom anon, I will hold out for the real dream. Hopefully it'll go for as cheap as the other when it turns up too. I've been looking for this OP on and off too, but Powder Rose is definitely higher priority.

>>8177313
Wait, what??? Fuckin serious?

>>8182018
That's absolutely beautiful holy shit.

>>8178593
We have like the same taste anon.
>tfw didnt have money when Meal Time got re-released

It's always harder to fins the unpopular pieces. They are usually cheap, but ypu rarely see them for sale

>>8183254
Such truth. I looove this dress anon! I've always worried the bodice would look weird on me though, AP is such a toss up sometimes. These waistlines are better than most of the current release cuts or my body, however.

added

AP toe shoes OTKS in brown x beige
ETC white teacup cutsew

>>8183330
I feel like I HAVE to know who you are. You've been looking for that ETC dress for almost 3 years now, if you are who I'm thinking of.

>>8183346
there's 2 people on cgl, I've only been looking for mine for a year. I'm in AZ

>>8183355
Over estimation of time on my part then, but AZ confirms accuracy of my guess. Hey J, I still look for that TJ headbow for you.

>>8183361
You're a friendly and beautiful person, I appreciate you! That headbow will come up in 80 years maybe

>>8183330
I have that ETC teacup cutsew in yellow with no sleeves, would you be interested in buying it?

>>8183379
I should have appreciated you more, friendlier and more beautiful person. It will turn up, and I will fight for it for you. When did you start looking for it in black tho?? I thought you were selling the navy jsk a while back?

Never mind that it would be short as fuck, I need it.

>>8181576
I feel generous.
http://lolibrary.org/apparelsearch/results/bunny%20field_items%3A%22OP%22

>>8182058
oh man I just love all-black Angelic Pretty dresses so much

>>8183240
Is that too high or too low, in your estimation?

>>8183420
Same. I have been hunting for these two velvet OP's for what seems like eternity. I really liked the Rose Garden Princess OP they just released, but the three massive pearls down the front really killed the rest of the design for me. I wish they would go back to some more simple stuff sometimes.

>>8183448
>I really liked the Rose Garden Princess OP they just released, but the three massive pearls down the front really killed the rest of the design for me.

Ugh, same here anon. So close, yet so far.

>>8183448

This was my dream dress in Bordeaux and I eventually acquired it, just keep looking anon! It shows up every now and then.

>>8183460
Would it be absolutely sinful for me to remove them?? Especially now that the damn thing is 50% off? I want it so bad, but fuck those nasty fake pearls. How do even find them that big?

>>8183484
I guess it depends on if you think you'd ever sell the dress, and if it can be done without looking weird (don't know what it looks like underneath). Definitely would recommend you keep them around just in case anyway.

>>8183248
>had the money
>SS had it in her shopping cart and didn't make the purchase just before it sold out

On another note, I just bought APs French Cafe OP. Yesss

>>8176499
I want the OP of this so badly.

>>8176890
Hey, I think I saw this is on mbok/yahoo auctions today.

Do dream blouses count? The pinkxpink went up recently, but I'm looking for blackxwhite or pinkxwhite.

>>8183392
There's the red one on maiden or closet child, isn't there? Can't remember which.

>>8183392
Yeah. I'm guessing you buddy want the blue but I'm posting anyway.

>>8183945
Sorry to the other anon, but this in red is my number one dream dress so I bought it.

I want to get married in this dress, I love it so much

>>8180693
Thats my dream dress as well anon, but in red. Hopefully one day we'll find it

>>8180695
>>8180696
Thanks very much! So sad I missed the JSK... if the skirt were cheaper, I'd probably grab it, but the alterations + price mean I should just hold out for what I really want. Appreciate the heads-up, however!

navy blue or white triple fortune bonnet.. just when I have the money, there are none for sale orz

>>8183254
I know you have the jsk pictured, anon, but are you interested in the skirt?
http://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/detail1558.html

I was really hoping they'd re-release Rose Basket this year.

>That feeling when you don't even have a dream dress anymore
>All you want are older Excentrique corset vests
>Which nobody ever sells

My tears are endless.

>>8185276
>>8185348

You and me both anons

>>8185348
You and I will be fighting over those vests, anon. The M/L ones are all yours, though, I'm only looking for S/M.

>>8180414
I saw this too but am also a poorfag. God damn.

>>8178593
Which colorway of Westminster Choir is that? Black or navy?

>>8185348
Same here fuck. Might as well buy full price now.

>>8186170
Preferably navy, but I would be interested in either colourway.

>>8180270
I have this in brown, but it's slightly damaged. I've been trying to let it go for 50usd including shipping. Shoot me an email if you're interested and I'll show you some pics.

>>8186200
sent you an email!

>>8183330
The ETC cut sew is on lace market: http://www.lacemarket.us/emily-temple-cute-cutsew-2/

To anyone who is looking for Meta's nurse items, here is a very similar looking Set from Cornet:
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r125613708

>>8186606

>>8176476
>Ivory in S/M

I know these feels and regret not getting it from a recent cgl post.

>>8176327

Guilty Melting Sweets JSK I in red if someone was looking for it.

>>8184949
>http://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/detail1558.html

>Pink
damnit! I really dislike the pink colorway. Thank you though anon, I love the skirt version as well, just not the pink colorway

Got the trick cat badges, forgot to cross them out. One day, babies.

>>8188681
Fuck, this is huge. Sorry about that.

>>8188681

I'm guessing you like cats? Love the bottom necklace.

>>8188711
A little bit, yes.

>>8188681
thats such a cute collection

>>8176849
I know that feeling. Took me a year to finally get the brown salopette.

>>8188681

I'm still waiting for Haenuli to release Royal Kitten again. I got the skirt, but really want the JSK.

>>8189082
If they re-release it, I'd be all over it. I've already got the blue JSK (hence why it's low priority for me), but I really want the wine, and possibly the purple too.

>>8176882
I recently got Clara in red, some anon actually linked me to it in a dreamdress thread. Don't give up, anon!

What's the best price I can hope to get on any color of Mercator?

old school btssb Ribbon Ribbon OP in any color

>pink, white, or black

>>8176499
> http://www.lacemarket.us/vampire-prelude-black-jsk/

Only one proof picture and $500...

>>8189761
Thanks anon, I messaged the seller and the reply wasn't very comforting, they offered to show me proof pictures 'later'. eh

>>8183392
Its here in red again


http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/75498

>>8189809
And now the auction's been deleted. More comfort all around!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF dream dress is on MBOK but I just spent all my money on Marine Kingdom FLM Please someone give it a good home
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_464653790.html?_SRC=li_i0

>>8190901
I'm curious what they would've sent you, had you bought it.

>>8191086
Anon I'm tempted to buy this and hold it for you until you have the money

>>8190901
>>8191089
I'm the vampire prelude obsessed anon, seller says she's trading it instead- no feedback but provided proof images (although without name in picture) that didn't return anything when reversed searched.

Should I have taken it?

>>8191127
T-That's the most beutiful thing anyone has ever said to me even if you don't meant it

>>8191160
When do you think you'll come into funds anon, if it's within a couple of months I don't mind trying to nab this for you and holding it until you can pay, especially if it doesn't pop up often.

>>8184413
Kate??

>>8176882
Different cut up on CC.
http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/phone/product/75488

>>8191259
OMG anon, are you for real? I could pay you by the end of april or first weeks of may tops, But would do everything I could to get it faster. I would love you and be forever grateful.
Are you sure about doing this for an internet stranger though? Not many people would even do it for a friend...

>>8191428
Dif anon but I've done this before. It was a dress I kind of wanted, but not enough to spend for myself - if the person backed out, then I'd be more than happy to keep the dress! >>8191259
is still a saint though for offering.

>>8191428
Vampire anon again,
Yeah anon I'm pretty serious and long as it doesn't end up at a ball busting price, I don't mind being a middle man, I'll leave my email in field and you can msg me some info (basically what your max would be if you had funds, location etc) and we can quickly work something out since it has less than a day left.

>>8191552
This is beautiful

This is my dream dress and the dress that got me interested into lolita to being with. I'll take the JSK if I see it, and the navy colorway is the one I really want. I actually bought one of the JSKs in bordeaux a few weeks ago because it was a very fair price, but a girl can dream of the day someone leaves lolita or no longer wants their unicorns....

>>8191127
>>8191160
>>8191259
>>8191428
>>8191552
>>8191883
This is the sweetest thing I may have ever seen here.
/cgl/, what dreams are made of.

>>8190802
That's pink, anon. I was going to post that too.

>>8192050
cgl lolita community >>>>>>>>> all other lolita communities. That anon is solid people.

>>8187827
http://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/detail221.html

i'm not sure if that's exactly the same as the dress in the bottom left of your collage, but it looks really similar?

>>8191127
>>8191160
>>8191259
>>8191552
Is this real life, confirm this is not a dream /cgl/

>>8192273
It's so cute, but it hangs so awkwardly on her. You better snap it up anon! For I am tempted.

>>8192285
Blooming Flower anon here. We've talked via e-mail and Vampire anon will buy and hold it for me. 100% real life. I'm truly speachless and full of feels because of her kindness. I'm going to mail her a little present when I get her adress.

Someone listed a Wonder Bunny's Magic Cards set with JSK, bow and OTKS on LM for $250 when two full sets have sold for $215 and $256 with the blouse included. I'm pretty new to this, should I try to haggle down or just accept it as the cost of nabbing the dress I want?

>>8192328
you can politely mail them and ask if they're taking offers (unless it's expressly mentioned in their listing), otherwise i would just wait or make a wtb

>>8191552

Anon, I think I am crying. I have only been browsing this board for a few weeks but you guys, especially you anon, are BEAUTIFUL. It has been such a pleasure getting to know you so far, seagulls.

>>8176882
I'm right there with you. It's drives me nuts.

>>8192316
you are the luckiest anon i have ever seen, I came to complain but damn >>8191552 Fairy-anon mother, make dreams come true. I hope you find that Vampire Requiem

> Where is this dress since everyone I know finds it ugly

>>8191552
Everyone keeps going on about how people on /cgl/ are all mean and bitchy, and then shit like this happens.
I'm getting all sappy over here, this is so sweet.

Has anyone seen this, in navy or rose, floating around for cheaper? Or is $190 the best I can hope for?

>>8192273
Yeah, it is! Gonna buy it! Thank you kind anon!!
>>8192309
Imma snag it!

>>8193368
Look anon!

>>8192273
>>8193516
Shit, its gone ;_;
>>8192309
Did you bought it, anon?

>>8192613
P-people find that dress ugly? It was my first dream dress and I practically screamed when I won it. I still haven't worn it to my satisfaction yet.

>>8193640
It's Meta, anon, no matter what they release, someone hates it and others love it. I think it's cute too though.

>>8193545
>http://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/detail1628.html
God damn. Thanks anon! Will be picking up the other then.

>>8193569
Not it! Seriously though, I didn't. I'm also >>8193368 anon, and I'm gonna be honest it's higher on my priorities than stealing yours. I'm sorry someone else grabbed it sweet anon.

>>8193569
Anon, this item wasn't available when I checked last night so either the anon that linked it to you didn't check if it was actually in stock, or someone bought it as soon as they posted the link

>>8192029
The JSK is up on lacemarket right now.

>>8193640
I have Brilliant Princess and I think it is in fact, brilliant. Don't let people thinking it's ugly put you off it anon, though I haven't seen that cut for sale very often. I haven't worn it to my satisfaction either which is a shame.

Does anyone know any Closet Child SS available ASAP, no replies from Tokyo Pirates, other SS away on business. Please send help.

>apologies cause SS comment doesn't really belong here but I'm desperate

>>8193747
I saw and was so excited but I currently don't have the money for it. I just had my hours cut at work (last week I got my final solid paycheck) so unless it was the OP, I don't want to dip into my savings just yet. Maybe I can bullshit out cheap commissions on tumblr or sell off some weeb shit.

>>8184438
>tfw gave up and got any cut EXCEPT short
If anyone has short and is looking for long, we can trade...
Never going to happen, I know.

>>8192613
I love this dress in the ivory but it's the total opposite of my usual wardrobe and I could never pull it off at all... But BP is a great print!

>>8193569
That JSK is actually pretty popular so I wouldn't be surprised if a random bought it either. Sucks anon, I'm looking for wine or black myself.

I always see gulls talking about how they love and want mushroom prints, and this is a pretty cute mushroom print dress I found on y!j today although I don't recognize it from anywhere

http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m136365513

>>8194062
The description say it's handmade, not Meta

>>8195071
They sell through the atelier pierrot webshop. Most of the seagulls I saw talking about it were looking for something more botanical/scientific, but Putumayo had terrible cuts on theirs.

/cgl has gotten me 2/3 of my dream dresses within a week, you're all amazing

>I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face

>>8195071
Too shiny

>>8195271
Not that anon but I thought tht was fr the hakuoki x metamorphose collab. Maybe it's a handmade copy?

Or I'm just dumb idk

>>8195607
Sorry on mobile.
>>8195271


After I enlarge that image that is does look handmade and doesn't seem as nice imho. Maybe anon was confused like I was.

>>8191086
The grey version of this is a dream dress of mine. I think it's amazing what the other anon is doing for you.

>>8195607
>>8195624
Yeah, sorry guys, I didn't read jt all the way through before posting

British Library in navy. If anyone wants to part from this, email me! I'm paying well!

>>8196669

I would kill for any of the cutsews with this print on it.

>>8196682
If it ever pops up, we are going to be fighting to the death anon.

Can I get a price check on a few things?

>>8197277
It's never been my preferred colorway, but you're tempting me something fierce.

I seem to have knack for wanting things that aren't selling...ever.

>>8196682
Fuck i know I've only seen it pop up twice in the past few years

Apollonia OP in milky mint or milky pink
>tfw I just saw one on Tokyo Alice and it's sold

Thinking of getting this for $100, but the last one sold on lacemarket went for half that. Are there any others about by chance or am I getting a decent deal? Interested in black only.

>>8196706
Elodie is 20-25k yen on second hand sites.

>>8193368
There's also one on Lacemarket:
http://www.lacemarket.us/mary-magdalene-albertine-op/

>>8199527
That's probably the $190 one they were talking about.

>acquire dream dress, fuck yes
>not a fan of dropwaist styles but the print is stunning
>try it on
>straps come up too high, the dress digs into my armpits
>straps are nonadjustable
>mfw
Maybe a professional tailor can lengthen them without the dropwaist falling way past where it should...

This fucking dress has eluded me since its fucking release and i can never fucking find this shit. At this point im more likely to knock Puppet Circus off my wishlist sooner then i am this fucking dress.

Thanks anon, but holding out for a jsk. Someone wanted the OP so hopefully they see this

>>8200433
thank you based anon

>>8198785
close match http://item.rakuten.co.jp/tokyoalice/a77998/

pls...

Can never find this cut in this colourway. It's perfect

>>8183248
>dat feel too

I saw one on lacemarket recently and nearly killed myself pressing on it.. turns out they altered it. I was so disappointed.

In other news: WTB IW Crown Jewel Short JSK (just waist) Red or Blue OR IW Antique Cutlery JSK in Blue

>>8202243
aw fuck, that is a tiny ass pic.

>>8202243
Crown Jewels collection is still available from IW webshop.

>>8202333
Yah, I'm looking around for a cheaper second hand one :( I saw the red one on lacemarket for $150 and just missed it. If I can't find it within the month I might just buy it from the webstore.

I'm pretty sure there were some anons looking for Cinema Doll:
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_465199782.html?_SRC=li_i0

I'll find this if it kills me. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, idk.

>>8192613
BP is absolutely gorgeous, I fell in love with and bought the ivory pinafore jsk when it first came out. I also have the necklace from the set somewhere.
I then started kinda collecting it, realised how silly it was and sold my free waist sk set.

>tfw never see the high waist skirt in ivory

I want this beautiful thing inn my closet

>>8176849
Seriously anon? A few months ago I decided I liked this dress and I found it two weeks later. It's not rare at all.

If I could get it custom-sized...

>>8205242
you'll never find it, a girl in my comm has been looking for years and I've been looking too

>>8205916
Unless they want to settle for white, which does pop up fairly often. At least it used to, it's getting harder to find now.

I adore this dress, but I've only seen it on sale once (in this colour way)

>>8206376
I have it in white. I saw a ton of people who had it in black during the wardrobe posts. I've never seen out for sale second hand though. I have a mighty need for it in black though

>>8206445
It took so long to sell out, I feel like it might even still be available on the website?

I really adore this JSK, but I need it in the size 2.

>>8206495
It says it's sold out?

>>8206445
This one's the just waist version, you can see the difference in color in the tights.

http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w118595351

>>8185348
misspoint on taobao is selling a similar one like the right middle one. It's something.

>>8206445
Here's one on Lace Market. http://www.lacemarket.us/moonlit-walk-high-waist-jsk/

>>8207169
It says I can't bid on it because the seller has had too many bad ratings.

>>8208511
Oh god yes thank you, thank you so much!

>>8176342
>>8176819
I'll fight both of you

I don't have any dream items per se but I'd love to track down some beautiful and relatively simple oldschool style gothic and classic-gothic pieces. I want to find items that I know I'll want to keep for many years to come and that will last and still look good as I get older. I also love that they don't necessarily require much petti poof and could easily been worn as daily wear.

They appear on Closet Child and Tokyo Alice now and again but I miss them every damn time.

Ok I lied, that juliette et justine green dress is just so beautiful, and the Wyvern in the print makes my heart sing.

If anyone can point me in the direction of anything that can help with my oldschool fix that would be amazing.

>>8208599
Oh shit, I didn't even see the ratings. Damn, that's a lot.

>>8210035
That collection is glorious, anon.

>>8210199
I..I know right? - They weren't even very expensive in lolita terms, but now they're all long sold out.

I guess stalking the Japanese resale sites is the only way I can make my oldschool dreams come true.

>>8210035
>all that velvet
Yessssssssssssssssssssssss

>>8210035
I look for the same stuff, friend. But the sizing limits my options personally. All that old stuff is pretty small.

>>8210035
I think this is the same skirt?
http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/195524145
Comes with pretty bustier and matching rectangle headdress(and some gloves) as well.

Victorian secret key is on tokyoalice. I've been eyeing it, but it won't suit me.

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/tokyoalice/a81043/

>>8210035
Someone managed to get pic related off lace market for $90 including the matching headdress and bag.

Damn, bitches be getting some serious bargains. I need to up my game.

>>8176625
Still hoping for this to surface. I know it'll probably be closer to Nov/Dec when it pops up again but waiting is driving me nuts. Always the white one popping up.

>>8176327
>>8176320
I missed the AATP Hymn skirt in Ivory, still looking for this.

just bought and paid for this, was thinking about it the whole day and caved since it rarely comes up, especially in navy
still sad over the tokyoalice one but i don't think i'd ever be able to snag a cheap jp secondhand gloria

>>8213702

Congrats anon! Gloria is a gorgeous print.

>>8211883
What's the name of this dress?

>>8213806
Here you go anon: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/velveteen-crown-high-waist-jsk-cape

I own this in black, colorway isn't added to LB though. Here's a picture of someone (not me) wearing it, in case you'd like to see it worn.

>>8213822
Gosh, It's so beautiful
I own skirt from this series and i never knew that JSK existed in the first place.

Hope this is on-topic enough to be relevant here - I'm all a fluster because I just found my dream dress on yahoo auctions but there's less than a day left to bid.

Does anyone know of a shopping service that accepts last minute bid requests? I'm also quite restricted budget-wise, if the items gets beyond a certain amount I won't be able to bid anyway.

Never done this before, what do anons, what do? The fact I can actually see it there is making my skin tingle, I can almost hear dramatic countdown, season finale style music in my head as the seconds tick away.

>>8214176
use From Japan. They use a real time bidding service so there's been plenty of time that I've bid on items with a few hours left. Just sign up for an account on their website and then you have to transfer your max amount of money to their 'deposit'. then you use that money to place a real-time bid. They even offer a snipe bid service for a small fee

Since I made this in November, I have bought the Queen's Coach JSK in Bordeaux and the Musee du Chocolat JSK in Mint. I'm considering dropping the brown MdC OP because I have seen more worn pics and I'm on the fence about it.

Ideally, I'd like to get one of the Perfume Bottle JSKs next or the Petit Chaperon Rouge JSK I in red, but I understand that I'm doomed to lurking forever to get some of these dresses.

Thank you!

>>8185276
Same.

>>8214186
thank you so much for this anon, navigating the options was starting to get overwhelming but that site is really great and makes everything straightforward. Dream dress ahoy!

Is the anon who is looking for Angelic Pretty's Powder Rose in white still out there? The JSK is up for a reasonable price on lace market right now http://www.lacemarket.us/angelic-pretty-powder-rose-frill-jsk-in-white/

>>8177040
>>8214825

not the same cut but...

>>8213702
God, anon, that's a beautiful dress. You did the right thing buying it! I'd really love it if you could post some up-close pics of the details over in the general thread sometime

I have this dress in ivory and love it to death, but it doesn't really match anything in my wardrobe so I would love to get it in navy instead.

>>8213702
So jealous anon, I also shed a tear over the TokyoAlice one as it was my preferred cut and colour but I hope you get some good wear of this.

>>8176476
i remember seeing the carrot colorway on lacemarket in my size but i made my friends talk me out of buying it because money but my regret has no price tag

I'm wishing myself good luck because I will clearly be hunting forever.

>>8183448
I have this in ivory; it's lovely and really not that hard to come by. Just keep looking and you'll certainly find it. The black colorway pops up on auctions from time to time, so I recommend stalking mbok.

>>8213790
thank you!

>>8214832
i sure will, i love looking at dress details

>>8215383
the mary cut in navy was one of my dream dresses, more so than jeanne in black so i guess in some odd way that worked out for me

got a general question: do you guys wear the dream dresses you've obtained?
i have a fear of them getting ruined, so i have only worn 2 of my dream dresses out once each

The impossible part of my fairly extensive wishlist.
The nonprints are my highest priority now, and I would really appreciate some help, especially with that Putumayo JSK. That one seems to be impossible.

>>8211883
Hey anon that was me. Velvet old school meta is my favoruite. If I ever sell it. I'll post it here. Goodluck with the dream dress hunt.

>>8214194
MM will be re-releasing Perfume Bottle this year!

>>8215965
I saw that there was a questionnaire, but they are for sure doing that!? Hot damn. I'm all over that! Thanks for the clarification!

The layout of the blog post on MM's website kind of made it seem like the Petit Fours was the only sure fire re-release. Google Translate was not being clear for me.

Here's my dream dress. Boguta Retro Alice OP with headbow.

I had a dream where my mom bought the dress and wear it and my dream thought was "Oh my God, my mom ruined my dream dress!"

Has anyone on this thread had a dream/nightmare of normfags wearing your dream dress?

>>8214825
>>8214828
I am only looking for the chest ribbon jsk unfortunately, that's why it's been so elusive!! Thank you so much for linking either way anon, i really appreciate you looking out for it!

And pretty much any simple Excentrique bustier and those big ass statement crosses they sell.

>>8216683
Are you interested in the Meta pleat set in just ivory, and/or full set only? I've seen multiple pop up in the past months on auctions so if I see it again I can try to link.

>>8215908
Daaw, that's so damn nice anon. Even if it never happens, the notion makes me smile. I hope you enjoy your old school velvet-wearing adventures.

>>8216863
I'm interested in any color but red. I'll take only the jsk too.
I've already missed the black one that was recently on closetchild so I'd appreciate it.

I like too many things

>>8216896

Yo, anon, if you want the IW Stradivarius JSK/have money for it, I will sell it to you NWT. I ended up with an extra one.

I will never find this.

The wine/bordeaux is fine too T.T

Dying for the meta velvet dress..

>tfw your dream dress is on mbok but theres no pics and the seller won't reply to your questions

Still looking for IW's Antique Cutlery just waist JSK in blue or red

>>8219028
Sailor dress is on LM in both sizes last I checked

>>8219028
Cosmic SK is on lacemarket in navy, if you're willing to settle.

>>8219061
I bought my dream dress from a girl on mbok who didn't put up any pics or answer questions. She had really good feedback, so I figured it would be OK. And it was. The dress came exactly as described. So check this seller's feedback. Japanese sellers tend to be more reputable than western ones, so if it's a dress that's hard to find I would go for it.

>>8219356
Ah thanks anon. Its just that she's written "Long" so I'm hoping its not the long version of the JSK... hence the pics. WAIT NEVER MIND they just uploaded a pic and ITS MY DRESS!

>>8215752
>do you guys wear the dream dresses you've obtained?

Mostly to fancier meets, or out to dinner with the boyfriend. I'm careful with them but when I finally get a dream dress I want it on my body rather than in my closet. I feel like being too overly cautious with them makes you lose the joy of wearing it out, and it's so nice to wear a dream dress out

>>8215752
>do you guys wear the dream dresses you've obtained?
Absolutely, I wear the heck out of them if I can- it's just finding occasions appropriate for the fancier ones that can be a bit tough.

I'm really fucking upset that I don't have the cash for this. I hope a gull at least can get it.
Puppet Circus OP+bonnet in Pink
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_457729957.html?_SRC=li_i0

>>8219878
looks like a scalper, would not recommend unless you're super desperate and have 0 luck at winning cheaper auctions

> tfw you see Gloria (angels not stained glass) for sale on the western market and you know you won't win against the current bidder

Hurts.

>>8215752
>do you guys wear the dream dresses you've obtained?

Yes, but rarely. I put them on sometimes at home just to try out different coords though.

>>8220192
...anon

>looks like a scalper
>super desperate
>have 0 luck at winning cheaper auctions

It's puppet circus, it's part of the holy trinity

>>8220192
uuuuuh...

>>8221280
>>8221288
chocolate rosette for $2k, cosmic for $800, twinkle journey for $800?

i wasn't referring to puppet circus specifically and should have clarified that, but the last time a puppet circus OP sold, it was for ~$1k on lacemarket
is the pink colourway more desirable? (i'll admit i'm not knowledgeable about this print at all)

>>8221349
The last time i saw PC on LM it was the black Jsk for 1.8k The OP it's more popular then the Jsk.

>>8221424
Black is also generally more popular than red, and I would say that action was an outlier. The price usually isn't that high.

>>8221424
>>8221562
I've seen both the JSK and OPs sell for around 14,000-1,600. I can't remember what colors, but I want to say red OP and black JSK were the most recent. I haven't seen them go for more than that besides the one on LM.

>>8221576
Oh God, I meant *1,400, not 14,000...

>>8221349
Pink is the least popular but as others said, OP is most desirable cut. Keep in mind the wine and the hot pink are two different colorways... people seem to get them confused these days.

>>8196682
How much are you looking to spend? I have the long sleeved cutsew in white.


Pic related, any cut or color.

>>8222044
$75ish? I honestly have no idea what it goes for.

>>8222404
I'm not sure how much to ask for since I've never seen it for sale.
I was thinking of letting it go for around 65 shipped if you're in the US since it's the long sleeved version which is a little nicer and thicker than the short sleeved one. If you give me your email I'll send you some pictures after work.

>>8219017
Hey anon I have this in black (short version). It was my dream dress but it fits kind of odd on me. What would you be looking to offer?

>>8222044
Ohh, if the other anon doesn't want it I'll gladly buy it!

http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/76003

Iron gate on closet child!!!

>>8222854
>less than $600 USD

that's a fucking steal.

>>8222854
Someone buy this before I make a really bad decision.
It's not even my dream dress but woah thats cheap.

>>8222854
dear god. if only it was some months from now and i had more money in savings, i'd grab this in a heartbeat.
>tfw though my preferred colorway is white x black, not black x navy like this one

>>8219192
Thanks a lot anon! I messaged the seller since there are no proof pics so we'll see..

>>8219215
Thanks for the heads up. White is my preferred color way and since it seems pretty common enough, I'll wait out~

Thanks for looking out for me fellow 4chan anons!

>>8222926
I would have bought this in a heartbeat if it was white and black. I just can't get behind that black and blue combo...

I'm probably never going to get my hands on any of these.

RAG's newest addition has me drooling and it hurts knowing it'll never be my own

>>8223775
I really like the smocking and embroidery on the bodice and vest-thing, but it doesn't look right for lolita. I don't know what the right word for what I'm trying to say is, but it almost feels too gritty fantasy?

Not to crazy about the belt though

>>8223775

This would be a dream dress/instabuy too, if they had kept it in black and white. The blue and yellow looks so jarring.

>>8223785
I get what you mean, it looks more like it's supposed to be fantastical and just so happens to have a poofy skirt. Sort of like how Ever After High has a lot of cupcake skirts but aren't actually lolita.

>>8223466
I swear I just saw that exact CD up somewhere, anon... CC or wunderwelt maybe, though it may have sold by now.

>>8223785
I have to agree, like that one Haenuli dress that was technically a poofy dress but was more like a pretty retro/prom dress. It's beautiful but I'd hesitate to call it lolita. Definitely cool though.

>>8223775
Wow that's surprisingly great.

>>8223785
>>8224027
>>8223923
It's just more on the punk/goth side of things.

>>8224027
>>8224058
Well, even RAD said "it's not traditional lolita", so I think they're aware that it doesn't exactly fall into the fashion in a tidy fashion. It was for a fashion show, and it's pretty theatrical, so it was probably intentionally off the wall.

>>8188681
are you determined to collect ALL cat things or just ones you like? i know putumayo has a few other cat prints

>>8191552
Fairy godmother Vampire Anon, appear in every thread please

>>8223775
Holy shit this is lovely. Not sure if it's lolita appropriatee, but I would wear that.

>>8224114
Not all of them, only ones that I like! There's too many, although my full wishlist is still a lot longer than this. The putumayo ones usually have cuts that I don't like or are too short.
