I guess I should repost in case the headbow anons don't see- TJ headbow in black for insane price but good luck anons
>http://www.lacemarket.us/metamorphose-twinkle-journey-headbow-black/

Hi twinkle journey anon!


Looking for:
- Metamorphose Dim Light Holy JSK in Navy (other JSKs in navy are okay as well)
- Baby the Stars Shine Bright Koitsukihime Stained Glass Angel / Seraphim JSK in Black

email is up top, or you can message me at www.lacemarket.us/author/empire/

>>8359336
I saw this and honestly I'm watching this seller to see if anything else pops up.

The search continues. I had no luck with fril the other day. Are there any places that might have more Putumayo stuff than mbok/y!J/all the lolita-specific secondhand shops?

Still looking. I've only ever seen this color way sold once and it was the OP with a bunch of missing pieces. Maybe one day I'll find this dress. Until then I'll continue to say my 10 Hail Mana's every night before bed.

>>8359363
Here's the second hand places I know, but I think you know all of them:
Lacemarket
MBok
Y!J Auctions
Closet Child
Maiden Clothing
Tokyo Alice
Violet Blue
Wunderwelt
Usagiyouhinten
Alice Fururun
Fril.Jp
Fairy Angel

I'm sure there's more, and I don't know how often Putumayo will be there, but I lurk these sites.

Hahaha, poor egl-comm-sales....

>>8359417
And LSE but I think we all are a member of that and it doesn't need to be mentioned. Also Candy One always bums me out because I see the sax hospitality doll and get excited then remember its sold out.

>>8359428
Everyone but me apparently, shits been pending for 2 weeks.

>>8359453
......k but I was using it for that website, as I do with pretty much ever page I go on that I can't speak the language of.

Google translate isn't all that holy, it usually gives me a bunch of engrish anyway, as it did with maidenclothing. So yeah.

>>8359474
Don't worry anon, I had the same confusion when I found Tokyo Alice's "gold" page thing. I was in shock when I saw the Twinkle Journey OP for 10,000円 and slapped with reality when I learned that was what they'd buy it for.

vintage cameo, princess jsk only
black or teal
I don't know how the second hand market is for it as I haven't seen it anywhere, but I hope it wasn't too popular so miiiiiight be less than retail

>>8359478
lets cry together
But seriously I don't get the appeal of selling your stuff for a crappy price (when it's obviously an in demand piece) to one of the resale sites when you could sell it yourself?

>>8359481
It's super popular. Girls have been begging for it to get rereleased. Prepare for a bloodbath.

Twinkle Journey like in OP but in pink is up on mbok

>>8359500
I thought it was getting a rerelease at some point. Or was that just a rumor?

>>8359481
>>8359500
I'd be all over this if some of the cameos weren't upside down.

>>8359506
I've seen it. It's been up for a few weeks/ over a month now and the price is ridiculous. Bordeaux is the least popular colorway too so the scalper price is extremely unreasonable.

Lotta anyone?

Sheesh, I bet they're a seagull or have seen the posts on Facebook about it and know how much some people want it and have decided to take advantage. What an asshole. Rarity doesn't make it worth that much anyway, there's only 2 people who really want it.

I feel like I see these in wishlists, but I don't know if anyone is looking for them right now!

>>8359398
Link to Candy One and Doris? Google is of no help and I forgot to bookmark them

>>8359546
This is my dream dress but I'm not even lolita. I wouldn't want the rerelease, though. Maybe one day.

I am going to find that BPN op one day!

>>8359546
I'm trying to decide whether to bid on this or not, I'm not sure whether I'd like the blue of the rerelease more than the greenish blue of the original. I don't want to get into a bidding war over a dress I only feel lukewarm about.

>>8359651
Personally I think the original looks much more quality than the rerelease. That's just my opinion, though. I know some people said the print wasn't lined up on the original and the rerelease looks better. Who knows.

These are most of my dream items and a few of my dream accessories.

>>8359510
Just a rumor, near as I can tell. Only place I ever saw that claim was on here with no source. Sucks, this dress and the matching tights are on my wishlist too.

>>8359518
Wow what was the price?

>>8359757
80,000 yen I think.

I just posted it in case someone wanted it enough, but yeah the price is insane. Pretty sure its just the dress alone too.

Last DD tread someone was looking for AATP Gather Chiffon in blackxiris if anon is in the tread its up on usagiyohentin. GO GET IT!

>>8359651
>>8359657
I own the original nordic blue, and a friend owns the new release.
The nordic blue is a lovely colour and so is the new blue, but I feel like the latter doesn't have as much impact.
That being said, I think the new blue is easier to coordinate and has the added bonus of being in better condition because of it's age.

>>8359757
>>8359774
Yeah it's at 80,000 yen. I have the complete OP set in black on hold for when the seller decides to let it go, and it is still cheaper than that. It's crazy- I think the average for Twinkle Journey OPs is anywhere from $300 - $500. I know the black OP sold on lacemarket week ago or so for only $280 and I missed it. Now I'm watching the person who bought it and waiting.

Dream top: The Flying Fuck cut sew in black. Long or short sleeve version. I had the chance once and I chickened out. I regret it so much.

I mentioned it in another thread, the proof pics don't match up.

>>8359856
I forgot that but I did see you mention it. That's another red flag (bordeaux flag?) that really is off putting.

>>8359871
>bordeaux flag

>>8359336
who would buy it for 150 though? wait till it drops, stay strong black headbow chan

>>8359882
I looked at the headbow seller's feedback on LM, she seems to suck, half the feedback seemed to have something to bitch about

Second-choice colourways for two of my dream dresses just popped up and I can't decide if I should get them or not. Neither of them show up too often and I really don't know what to do. Should I wait it out? Or should I settle?

>>8359912
Wait. I settled far too often. It only holds you over for so long before you don't care anymore and you sell it off because it's not your true love

>>8359839
I have the long sleeve in white. I bought it second hand a few years ago but I've never worn it, so I've been thinking of selling it.

>>8359897

My dream dress is Sugar Hearts JSK in White. I'm willing to settle for it in Pink and Lavender as well. But mint and the black are out of question.

just a general survey

Twinkle Journey Anon here!
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Depends. I posted my big wishlist last thread and I could afford parts of it, but not everything. With the Twinkle Journey OP, yes. I can pay scalper price if desperate.
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
Every day a few times a day.
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
For Twinkle Journey, no. Anything else I can be more casual with since I really don't want high demand things.
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
Twinkle Journey still.... It wasn't until this year though that I got serious about my hunting. I've wanted it for years but I was always really casual about lolita, and now I'm sucked in.
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
I have a Twinkle Journey JSK in bordeaux that I excitedly bought for cheap. Also, I have the Detective Poodle skirt and jacket set, as well as one of the caped dresses!

>>8360222
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Yes
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
It can change from a couple of times a week to a few times a month.
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
Yes, definitely.
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
Maybe a year or 2? It was AatP's Hymn JSK. I wasn't really trying too hard tbh but a friend linked me to the auction.
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
AP's Fantasic Dolly OP in red

>>8360222
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?

Usually yes, but I always have the moments of "but do i need this or do i just WANT this?", try to justify it with do I have matching stuff, a blouse that would fit the cut etc

>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)

Practically everyday... but I still miss things.

>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?

Since 2011 for Attp's Melty Mermaid Princess JSK. I finally got it this year!!!!

A couple of months for Holy lantern OP in any colourway. I think Im cursed to always miss it/be during a time when I just reserved/bought a new release.

>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?

Definitely Melty Mermaid.

Still waiting for the shoes and bag for the coord with Melty mermaid. Hopefully going to wear it to a con in Mid June.

My current wishlist. The dresses are sorted by priority- the higher up, the more desperately I want them.

>>8360237
'how often' should probably have been worded better, i meant what length of time do you look daily before you maybe take a break
hopefully you'll be able to get the OP for a reasonable price too!

>>8360253
ooh yeah aatp's hymn print is really gorgeous, i wish the jsk came up more often, it's one of the dresses i want but not enough to stick on my wish list


>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
yes, for sure, i would hate to miss out if it did come up and the seller doesn't take payment plans
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
i usually look in bursts of a month or two, and get tired
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
yes, i end up not searching second hand sites at all (or try not to anyway)
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
still looking for the btssb stained glass angel jsk, spent a year looking for it casually, have only really started to aggressively search for two months
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
aatp gloria jsk in navy

>>8360262
A+++ taste, anon. Hot damn.

>>8360262 Here, forgot to mention that I already own three of them- the Icing Cookie, the Fruit Punch Soda and the Bambi JSKs. I also own the skirt version of Delft Lotta in blue, but It's so drastically different from the JSK so it doesn't count.

Also:
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Depends on the price of the dress and how much I want it.
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
Not often enough- perhaps once a week. Right now I'm on a total break since I've A: spend too much money and B: decided to focus on getting more wardrobe basics such as blouses, accessories and shoes.
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
Yes, I'm on a break right now since I just got my Bambi JSK. I'll buy a dream dress if I stumble over it, but I won't actively search for it.
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
I've only been buying lolita for a year and a half, so a year and a half? I've loved Chained Berry Memoir and Rose Boudoir since they came out in 2011, so four year if they count.
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
My IW Bambi JSK in Blue. It is my only brand piece I've been close to paying retail for, and I don't regret it at all.

>>8360270
Thank you!

fragrant rose memories 3 piece set, includes blouse, jsk and veil
i remember the last jsk with an end bid of something like 90,000 yen so this isn't that bad of a price

>>8360290
Anon, that's not fragrant rose memories, and ave maria is not worth that much.

>>8360297
oh wow i'm terrible at this, and yes it's definitely only worth 700 tops
sorry guys, i'm an idiot

Since two anons mentioned that they have seen the Heart-E bag I can not give up on it.

Thanks to kind anon from last thread I know about the Fragrant Rose auction, unfortunately there is competition.

Meanwhile I have fun with answering questions.
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
I always have money for that bag!
For the other items it depends on the budget I've set for the items.

>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
If I have enough money I look at least twice each day. Otherwise a few times a week.

>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
Yes I did. A few times I even gave up on a wishlist item just to find it a few moments later. Usually my wishlist items are always on my mind.

>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
8 years for that Heart-E bag and still not in my greedy hands.
5 years for Moitie Cathedral OP.

>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
Moitie Cathedral OP, LIEF Gardenberries and Meta Blooming Garden Tulle JSK.

You got me excited and clicked the link but then I've read >>8360297 and now I want to cry.

>>8359336
>>8359328
Lol, one of my dream dresses and accessory but for some reason these slags who own it think their 5 year old, 20-times-worn pieces are still worth triple retail.

I'm still laughing over the last seller of a Twinkle Journey jsk who was selling it for nearly double retail when it was used and a bow was missing, and then retracted the sale because she wasn't getting what she wanted for it.
Girls like these need to fuck off.

>>8360311
You can't have my TJ no matter how much you talk about it

>>8360319
Lol what?

I don't know why I love this dress so much, just missed out on this from closet child too.

>>8360311
I'd happily pay double or more for the Twinkle Journey OP. Especially more for it with the bow and socks. I don't give a shit how worn it is as long as it is intact.

>>8360327
>paying double retail for damaged items with missing pieces
Get some standards, scalpchan.

>>8360321
that was me trying to sell Twinkle Journey but I changed my mind and kept it and it's glorious and I'm glad I did

>>8360331
Good, because you weren't going to sell a damaged dress for the amount you were asking.

>>8360330
>long as it is intact.
Please read past my first sentence.

>>8360319
>>8360331
Actual scalper butthurt in a dream dress thread.
>popcorn.jpg

>>8360335
Doesn't matter, I don't want to sell. Your rage is delicious though, that shit was months ago and you're still mad.

>>8360346
>rage
>implying
Because how dare I mention a scalper about a print of a dress that other people are talking about? It's not my fault you lurk these threads trying to boost the hype of your damaged good. You're the one acting assblasted and you essentially outed yourself lol.

>>8360346
>tries to scalp print
>it doesn't sell
>DOESN'T MATTER I DIDN'T WANT TO SELL ANYWAY
Okay thennn

>>8360356
It's really not a secret that I go here.

Good luck trying to find your dress though, haven't seen the Navy JSK in ages

>>8360367
Meh. I'm not that desperate to get it. I can wait.

>>8360309
i'm so sorry anon


>>8360341
this reminds me of something that was happening when i first came on cgl
either way
>don't get mad if you don't want to pay scalper prices
>don't get mad if no one pays your scalper prices

>>8360358
some people are okay with keeping dresses that don't sell for what they want, not everyone is desperate to cull their wardrobe just to pay the rent this month or whatever

>>8360036
Not OP, but I am interested in the long sleeve if you do ever decide to sell. Hoping you're only interested in the short sleeve, OP.

>>8360439
You have a point. But it makes no sense for a seller to overreact that way when someone doesn't agree with a price they're selling an item for. Everyone in that situation would do good to let it go.

>>8360319
>>8360331
>>8360346
>Anon doesn't even name you
>you come to whiteknight your post despite allegedly being okay with not selling to begin with

I wish they did name you. You sound incredibly petty.

I can finally get to transfer this picture from Wishlist to Wardrobe!
It was expensive as hell but it was worth it, came with both headdress and bonnet (if only matching OTKs) My bank account may bleed but my heart is content.

>>8360486
How much?

>>8360367
Actually there have been a couple of decently priced Twinkle Journeys for sale on Lacemarket within the past month or so. There's even been one navy jsk in very good condition that sold for $251.

Were you the seller trying to sell the shirred navy jsk with the missing middle bow for $500? Because yeah, you were asking a lot.

>>8360491
Cry harder, I know, but damn... I was only a few hours late for Rainies' OP.

Also Bustle JSK in navy with all of the bows and such was on Y!J recently for under $250, and my bordeaux JSK (pic related cut) was $200.

Even I wouldn't pay $500 for an incomplete JSK. That's almost worse than the 80,000 yen OP. I think it could sell for maybe $300, but I wouldn't pay that much personally.

>>8360498
Hah, I know right? It's okay anon, we'll cry over those beautifully priced dresses together.

Though IMO, asking for anything above $400 for Twinkle Journey without any accessories is a bit exuberant at this point. That 80,000 yen pricetag is laughable.

>>8360500
I offered alyssiumbaby or whatever her name is who is getting married $450 for twinkle journey op in black. She said she had the exact same offer from another buyer.

So although it seems like twinkle journey prices have gone down, I feel like specific cuts/color ways go for more.

>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
It depends. Sometimes I post when I have a lot of spare funds but some times I post just incase I find any leads etc. and am in that period of time where I can't drop a lot on lolita.

>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
I have a few dream dresses that I look for weekly or fortnightly. I check Meta and Moitie yja and mbok every other day.

>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?

Yes. I'll often stop looking altogether or look for something that's easier to find. I often stumble on dream dresses whilst looking for something else i.e. a new blouse or bag etc.

>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
Over two years. Moi Meme Moitie's Tulle Rose op in blue. I had only seen it for sale once in all that time and that was for $800. A SS who I sent a wish list to a year earlier and never heard any response from had found it in CC and contacted me. I honestly was so surprised.

>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
Moi Meme Moitie Tulle Rose and two colourways of the Metamorphose Triple Frill Velvet Op.

If the black ver. of Meta's Swan Garden had been with red instead of purple, that would have been my new dream dress.

>>8360568
It was probably in good condition to boot. I'd probably pay in the realm of $450 for a rare print in good condition.

I offered missing-bow-chan >>8360331 $400 and she didn't accept the offer. Though now that I see people are being more reasonable >>8360491 I'm kind of glad she didn't. Phew.

>>8360222
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Yes. If not, I can put it on my credit card - the only reason I wouldn't have the money is if I'm waiting for reimbursement of expenses (work only pays everyone back once a month)

>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
I'm a chronic window shopper...I don't think I stop looking on second hand sites!

>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
Yes and no. I don't really stop looking at lolita sites but I definitely give up on scrolling a billion pages of auctions for months at a time, and I can't be bothered with ershao

>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
I haven't found this one yet! I first wanted it in 2009, first had the money for it at the end of 2010...and I'm still looking. See picture

>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
Melody Cat was right up there

>>8360568
That was me! I offered $450 too and then bumped my offer much higher when it was rejected. I am in the lead so far in her scalper prices.

She messaged me not too long ago saying she changed her mind though, so when she does sell it I'm first in line. I know I'm paying more than I should, but this is my dream dress, my first dream dress, and a set in great condition. This is my Gloria, Elizabeth, Cat's Tea Party, if that make's sense.

>>8359328
ITS GONE I MISSED IT IM SO SAD

>>8360576
>offering $400 for a dress with a missing bow
Were you high? It's one thing if the dress is in good condition and all the pieces were there, but that's a stupid amount for a dress with missing pieces.

Also her attitude is shitty.

>>8360591
Would you mind if I asked you how much you offered? I offered $550 after that and she said she had to think about it, went away, and never got back to me like she said she would. I had a feeling she wasn't going to sell and probably wanted to hold off to see if she can get much more for it so I told her I lost interest. (Which I did).

I will look in other places but yeah, I was willing to pay $550 for it. This too, is my Lotta/ Elizabeth / Misty Sky.

>>8360601
My offer was $575. I offered $550 and was told someone bid that much too, funny enough. Heads up to the anons looking though: I can and will go higher if I must. This is the most I've ever spent on a dress or lolita general, but I've also been saving for a very long time for this specific set.

>>8360591
>>8360601
>>8360613
Good luck to both of you on bidding!

>>8360617
Thank you. A part of me really wishes Twinkle Journey would be rereleased- I think it was one of Meta's best prints and I would be okay with getting a second edition version of the OP if that makes sense.

Maybe another gull will see how much we're willing to spend on the set and swoop in and steal Alyssiumbaby (?)'s sale. I rarely see people wear Twinkle Journey nowadays too.

> Captcha, I don't know if I clicked on fish or bread but you accepted it.

>>8360626
I wish Meta would. They would make mad dosh rereleasing that print. Can you imagine if they recolored it too?
>will never have lav x white twinkle journey

>>8360626
>Fish or bread
That's ice cream

>>8360631
I did not know I needed a lavender twinkle journey until you mentioned it. I know it would be a stretch, but green my favorite color and I'd just love to see it in a possible green colorway- Like colors pulled from the "Once Upon a Dream" scene in the classic Sleeping Beauty.
>>8360633

>>8360643
oh my, twinkle journey in jewel tone green and gold accents would be fabulous

i wish aatp would put out more jewel tone colourways of their prints

>>8360222
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Absolutely. I keep enough in savings for two or three of my dream dresses at all times.

>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
At least a couple times per week.

>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
I've missed out on my ultimate dream dress due solely to not checking for a month, so no, I check consistently, even if I just bought something else recently.

>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
I haven't been in the fashion long, so I've only had dream dresses for a year and have been looking the whole time.

>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
Ekaterina in pink. I don't care how over-hyped that series is, I adore it, and I got it for less than I expected to pay for it.

BLACK TWINKLE JOURNEY LACE UP JSK SET (SOCK AND BOW) JUST GOT POSTED ON LSE!

Lace up and bustle are my lest favorite but hnghhh quick someone stop me and nab it!

>>8360650
And I realize now the uploader was that Coconiko chick from earlier who was trying to sell the lone bow for like, $150.

>>8360643

>jewel-toned Twinkle Journey

Anons...my heart.

>>8360650
>>8360652
Do you think people who own Twinkle Journey trawl these threads? It just seems like too much of a coincidence. Good thing I hate the laceup and would prefer navy over black.

>>8360036
How much are you looking for? Id prefer black but I'll be happy with white.

>>8360657
i bet they do, but it might not be on purpose

say i see that a few people are after a dress that i own, and i don't wear it much myself, i'd have a good talk to myself about whether i wanted to keep it or sell it especially if the numbers being thrown out are good
if i did decide to sell it i'd just put it on auction though, rather than "PM me with your offers!!"

>>8360657
>>8360657
I don't know honestly. I started posting in these threads a few months ago and at the time I only saw the two anons seeking head bows. Twinkle Journey pops up, but not often enough that I think sellers are lurking the thread. When I got my JSK, it was a leaving lolita sale. As for the OP that was on the market recently, it was at such a low rate that I think the seller didn't know any better. I've never see anyone ask for the JSKs here (I think once I saw someone say they wanted the full shirring JSK way long ago).

I've never seen someone say they wanted the lace up version (I forgot it existed honestly, I find it tacky) or the bustle version. For me, since I know the OP isn't impossible to get anymore, I'm not settling for less (well I sorta am, navy is my preferred colorway but I love the black colorway a lot too).

I think this seller is a lurker. The bow was up, then they took it down, and now its a bundle? And in the previous thread I did mention that I was watching their LM sales, so I'd be really surprised if they didn't know.
> Who sells just the headbow when they have the full set?
> Unless of course there is someone who just needs that specific headbow and their JSK is unpopular.

A-and yes, jewel-toned Twinkle Journey. One can dream?

Has this been seen anywhere? I'm looking on Mbok right now, since I currently have the money I think it's time I got something I've been wanting for a while.

>>8360683
I only ever see the OP in sax. Honestly I think it's cute anon, go for it.

>>8360683
I feel like Royal Unicorn OPs pop up more often on LM than on Japanese auctions.

>>8360687
Just checked there, looks like the OP I'm looking for was sold quite recently too.

>>8360686
Me too, thanks anon.

>>8360617
Thanks anon.

>>8360613
I understand. It just makes me mad that I missed the recent one that sold on LSE for so cheap because I have been searching for a few years now and have not seen the black op pop up, esp for so cheap. Oh well. Good luck to you anon. I hope we both find one for each of us!

And yes, I would be so damn happy with a re-release.

>>8360671
She probably saw what >>8360613 wrote.

Did she already take it down?

>>8360569
>A SS who I sent a wish list to a year earlier and never heard any response from had found it in CC and contacted me. I honestly was so surprised.
Wow, that's pretty awesome of them. What SS was it that did that?

Saw this while looking for pics of the grey version and fell in love. I missed the preorders and I don't think it's been shipped out yet.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>8361085
Nameless Poem in dark grey is still available on their taobao!

>>8361085
why all the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>8361085
which baby dress is that? i need it

>>8361116
If I'm not mistaken it's St Mephisto Cathedral

Since everyone is making these dream dress collages I figured I'd give it a go. ofc my two main desires are fucking indie brand, and one of them was a special release or some shit.
finding old indie dresses is a fucking chore, but I will stay persistant.
My heart belongs to Mary Magdalane tho, and in a dream world the majority of my wardrobe would be MM~

>>8361095
different anon, but i can't find it. the only thing up is their final payment.

>>8361332
I own the Whyteleafe OP in mint, actually. Several anons have posted it, so if I ever sell it I'll make sure to post here.

>>8361085

Someone on LM is selling the pink OP + KC anon, go get!
http://www.lacemarket.us/aatp-alice-and-the-pirates-st-mephisto-cathedrale-op-headbow-set-2/

>>8361404
How much would you sell it for?? I just want to get my hopes up.

>>8361444
I'm not actually sure, to be quite honest. It's in pretty much new condition and I've only worn it a couple times. It's one of my favorite dresses, but if I got a good offer I'd seriously consider selling it.

I'd love any of these in a size S. I've seen a few Gardenberries and Bunny Milks up but all size L and/or the wrong colorway.

>>8360581
That's beautiful anon. I love how sort of gawfick it is with the flocking pattern. Like the appeal of holy lantern in red but not so cutesy.

>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Depends what price it pops up for, doesn't it? Usually, though.
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
On average I check LM multiple times an evening/day, y!j every day to twice a day, and every other shop twice a week.
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
Not really, since I keep the above checking schedule pretty regularly and you never know what will pop up when.
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
I wanted Rose Stained Glass since release (it came out right as I got into lolita and that plus Grazia Crown are what really pushed me into the fashion), I got my first piece from the series in 2011 (the skirt) and am still looking for my preferred cut (short JSK in red).
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
I guess Rose Stained Glass, though I don't have the exact cut I want yet. I actually have all my highest priority wishlist pieces other than the short JSK of that, and am down to 2 medium-high priority wishlist pieces otherwise (possibly down to one since I think I'm going to be able to get one of them). I have a bunch of low priority pieces like blouses and bags/accessories I like to look for after I get those.

>>8360222

>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
I posted a picture of all my dream dresses in a thread, maybe the last one? I didn't have the money for them, but it was more of sharing a proud moment since I now can make the dream real! I'll attach the pic
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
I tend to look in the shops daily
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
I've found some, just got to get my pay check. Still browse though in case one of the other gull's dream dress pops up so I can pass along the message, plus looking at all the items in between is good inspiration for future coords
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
I've had a dress in one of my folders for around a year, but have only started looking a couple months ago since now lolita is an actual real possibility [after 6 fucking years]. Its Whyteleafe in blue, but since then I have more important tier dresses that require my budget right now and besides other gull's have been looking for it longer so I can wait
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
Just you wait till the 5th!

>>8360652
id fuckingpay that for the fucking GOD DAMN HEADBOW. i messages he ron both lacemarket and lse

>>8361513
I dig your style. Good luck finding those dresses!

>>8361517
How much is she charging for the set, do you know? If she want's less than $300 we can split the cost and you can have the bow if that sounds cool with you.

>>8361553
no idea how much she is charging but i will defs take you up on that offer

Was anyone looking for this?
>http://www.lacemarket.us/moi-meme-moitie-mmm-blue-rose-op-nwot-free-shipping/

No seller feedback, no proof photos. So be cautious, but I feel like someone was searching for it?

>>8359328

Any color.

>>8361668
Shit I'm late to the party. Sorry!

>>8361332
That ivory DDC is on Y!Jp for 1,000yen... Someone posted it on fb earlier today

>>8361553
>>8361589
dropped email

>>8361614
>$900
lmao nope

>>8361732
Highest offer was $375. Sorry, but even half that is more than I planned to spend on a dress in a cut I don't even like. If her highest offer was a little over $300 I'd say let's do it, but that is just too high.

>>8360222
>when you post in the dream dresses thread, do you have the money to buy what you want outright?
Usually I do, but every now and then I dip into the budget to buy something else if I'm having no luck. However I won't purchase Bride of death at its current value...despite bidding in the last LM auction for it
>how often do you look for your dream dresses? (in terms of weeks/months/years)
Months/years. I check auctions sites and sales pages twice daily ,
>do you take breaks if you can't find them or if you've just gotten something?
Yep-I have a set of 5 priority items that I shuffle looking for so if none are popping up I get something else or just step away from auctions for a while,
>what's the longest time you've looked (or are looking) for something? what was/is it?
3 + years properly. MM Rose Basket
>what's the highest priority dream dress you've gotten so far?
AatP Vampire Prelude in Black

One day.

>>8360658
I'm not sure how much to ask, $40+ shipping since it's kind of popular?
Email in the name field for pictures/payment info

>>8362216
Im going to email you. I'm totally fine with $40+ shipping.

>>8362216
>>8362218
Careful, this seller is shady as fuck.

>>8362223
Not that anon but shady in what ways?

>>8362228
Someone in my comm was extremely pissed about not getting their items and I remember that there was like a month long search to try and find her via a few people she had sold to.

http://www.lacemarket.us/author/sunnypinksky/

>>8362223

For reference

http://www.lacemarket.us/author/sunnypinksky

>>8362223
I'm not though?
I have 3 negatives all within a month because my computer crashed and PayPal gave me hell, but I've never gotten anything but positives for the 10+ years I've been selling before that.
I sold some slippers about a month ago and shipped same day and everything went fine. I wasn't really looking to sell the shirt anyway though, just figured I'd pass it on since I don't wear it, so it's fine if anon doesn't want it.

>>8362223
Oh? proof/caps?

>>8362231
I offered everyone it affected refunds, and anyone who didn't want one got free ap stuff instead.

>>8362237
oh I do want it. I don't even mind a long wait time, just keep me posted.

>>8362237
Negative feedback is still negative feedback, personally it wouldn't stop me from buying from you seeing as you have like 70 positive but it'd make me a little wary.

>>8362249
Yeah, and I understand that. I'm not like in a rush to sell my stuff or anything. When it was all going on a lot of people actually got their items and still got money back from PayPal because I didn't have a computer or internet to even see the charge backs and then PayPal froze my account by the time i did realize...it was a really unfortunate situation for me as well.

>>8362263

>>8362265

wow guys chill, she's already explained that she had computer problems and resolved everything through paypal, giving refunds or freebies to people

>>8361614
I'm forever butthurt about paying $600 for this and selling if for $450 when I needed cash for an emergency. Now it's doubled in price and I have always regretted selling it.

>>8362338
I'll never understand why this dress was so popular/is so expensive. I think it's so goddamn ugly. It's like bad pay-by-the-hour motel curtains.

>>8362339
That person's picture of it is horrible, it is gorgeous and much less saturated IRL. But I can see why some people might not like it, especially if they don't like jewel tones that much. I love gobelin too.

>>8362237
You're only 21, though. You've been selling lolita since you were younger than 11? Be an honest seller, now.

>>8362427
Not them, but I'm sure they mean sales before lolita, too. As a kid I sold old animu junk on ebay and got 50+ positives. It's not unheard of. Either way, you seem pretty mad for no reason.

>>8360445
How did she overreact? She just said it didnt sell and she didnt give a crap because she decided to keep it anyways. All these bitches yelling scalper seem to overreact way more then seller anon did.
From, an anon who also wouldnt let go of TJ unless it were for the right price. I love it and looked for years for it im not going to let it go just because someone sheds their bitter jealous tears.

>>8361916
I'd still be happy to pay 100 for the bow alone

>>8362461
>How did she overreact?
Because she addressed the anon itt who didn't even namedrop her. It would have been a one-post greentext had she not responded and rubbed it in anon's face that she had their dream dress. Which itself isn't very classy.

Considering she got an offer of $400 out of the $500 she was asking for an incomplete, used jsk, her reaction like she wasn't offered something substantial for it is ill-founded at best. It's also pretty poor taste to list something on LM and withdrawing it on people, wasting their time, when all it technically was was a feeler post.

I can see why anons got annoyed. Polite sage for necro drama.

>>8362461
>I love it and looked for years for it im not going to let it go just because someone sheds their bitter jealous tears
Hi sheepybeef. Keep your damaged jsk, nobody is about to buy it for $500 you looney moron.

Woah, since when are people not allowed to complain about scalpers on cgl? Did I miss something? Or is it only personal because it's a seagull involved and not an obscure Japanese seller?

I feel bad for Twinkle Journey anon. They've been nothing but polite and helpful to others and they're just really getting shit on with this one.

>>8362461
If you don't mind me asking, what cut is your TJ? I'm the one seeking the OP so if you ever do decide it is time to let it go, I'd love to talk prices with you (if that's the cut you have).

In general though, can we stop fighting over this incomplete JSK? Scalped or not or whatever drama is going on, we really don't need to drag it on further. At least not in the dream dress thread.

>>8362535
I'm not sure if you mean me or not. I just don't want this thread to keep bumping over this. It's out there, we all read it, now let's move on. Dream Dress Threads are typically positive/good threads, so let's try and get back to that.

>>8362535
>nothing but polite and helpful to others
Could you make it less obvious it's you?
You threw a tantrum because someone didn't like the price of a dress you tried to sell. You haven't been polite in this thread at all from all indications of you posting. All you're doing is calling more attention to yourself.

>>8362537
I meant you; you're a sweetheart. So yeah, less bickering more positivity and helpful searched, because, ilu and hope it falls into your hands soon.

>>8362544
>>8362546
Definitely was talking about the person searching for the OP, jackass.

>>8362537
>I'm not sure if you mean me or not.
If you're TJ OP, then you also have my apologies. I'll try not to respond to the drama b8 anymore. It's just too cringe.

>>8362552
Thanks for clarifying your ambiguous terms, peach.

Back on topic now?

>>8359460
>>8359428

Glad it's not just me. I check the page once in a while and it gives me the option to request to join again, so looks like I get rejected for whatever reason... I PM'd a mod asking what gives but haven't heard back. But it's ages between sending the request and seeing the option available again, so maybe it just times out?

>>8362490
That makes a bit of sense but i still feel anons are accusing seller-anon of more attitude then she really is.

>>8362513
I don't know who that is. I dont have a lacemarket account which is what im assuming you're all but mad about, because the western market is full of people who over price their shit or cry and throw tantrums when they cant get their rare coveted dream dress for $100.

>>8362427
I didn't mean lolita.
Like >>8362437 I sold anime stuff as a kid. I had a huge sailor moon collection and a ton of old nib Barbie stuff my grandma had given me that I auctioned off when I was young.

I've apologized to everyone involved and given them free stuff or their money back. I'm really sorry for everyone who had to wait for their stuff, I understand how frustrating that was for some people. I assure you it was a nightmare for me as well.

Like I said, I'm not in a rush to sell anything. I have a full time job. I only offered the cutsew to anon because I have a lot of things taking up closet space I desperately need.

Can we move on now from 6 month old drama please?

>>8362565
Just saying in closing that I don't believe $400 used print dress with a missing part is exactly lowballing in the same way a cheapchan throwing $100 at a good condition print is.

It appears this is a dead horse, and out of respect for TJ OP, I don't really want to get involved with this drama. It's just my two cents as an outsider.

>>8362537
black jsk and headbow. dont think ill ever sell. Even if i dont wear it much its one of the releases that got me to make my first lolita purchases. But i was a piss poor high school student when it came out so it took me a long time to track it down and i adore it now.

>>8362581
Completely understandable! Thank you anyways, and I'm glad to know the owner still cherishes it (as cheesy as that sounds).

>>8363879
without looking at the link (i'm heading out) it's probably something like the reservation price is 548 yuan (either in total or that you have to add to the 200yuan) and if they are able to get numbers of more than 1000 reservations, the end payment/total will be 528yuan

Thanks for remembering me Anon but I'm pretty set on Black,
Hospitality Anon was looking for an OP in black but maybe she'd like a crack at it.

Has anyone seen the AP Aphrodite dress being sold? Or even just a picture of it other than the stock photo on the AP website?

>>8364775
Do you mean the printed hearts one? I definitely saw that recently, although it might have been a skirt. I think on LM?

>>8364537
Ahhh, thank you for thinking of me as well, but I am only looking for that OP in black. I got one of the JSKs thinking it would suit me better and passed on the black OP, but the fit of the JSK isn't so good and I'm full of regret for it.

Besides, I have way over stepped my fun money budget for the month. Probably won't be buying much of anything for a couple months!

>but really if you find that black OP then I'll insta-buy it at any price

I am officially insane. Just won the auction for the Koitsukihime stained glass katyusha for 15500 yen.
Now I'm trying to fool myself into believing spending over 100 euro's on a headbow is justified, but been after this item for years and it's rare, normally I wouldn't pay that for a katyusha ever but I kinda went overboard with this one lol.
Pretty sure they bought it for less than 2k on fururun and scalped me but who gives a fuck eh.

>>8365595
Anon, I'll pay the same for Baby's Houndstooth Headbow in Red...

Glad to hear that there are others willing to spend that much on just a headbow.
A while back someone auctioned off the AP Katrina headdress and the bids went really high.
Was noping at that but now I get why they bid so much on it.

Hope you will find your Baby's Houndstooth headbow in Red anon.

Pleats A La Mode just recently became a dream dress, but I've been looking for Napoleon Marine for a while now. Military styled buttons are a fatal weakness for me, man...

>>8365646
She was for like a week and then changed her mind thank god. It's cute as fuck on her id be sad if she didnt have it anymore.
And iirc a damaged navy TJ sold for $500 the week she listed hers so she was like "wtf is that what it's going for? Guess ill just list mine at that." but that was so fucking long ago and listed for such a short time idk why anyone would still be bringing that shit up or even remembering it for that matter. Obviously a lot of buttrage going on itt

I'd like to think you would have found it and spent that much without me linking one here

This thread is the enablers club

Got my hands on a dd, only to find it's too short and the bodice looks awful on me. I'm so disappointed.

>>8366161
Noot the gif I thought it was. Oh well.

>>8366161
That's really disappointing anon. Has it got any alternative cuts you might try to go for?

>>8366189
The bodice on the original release looks like it's just a tad longer, but I don't think there are any other cuts in the series to speak of unfortunately. I may try for the original release, but the only ones I've ever seen for sale are the 2014 so we'll see!

>>8365595
It's pretty and all but for an item so small that will hardly be seen, wouldn't any similar bow in that color scheme have worked?

>>8363199
Ugh, I don't how to SS. I'm a sperglord and really scared of the process, especially if there are any issues with the seller. I really want Lotta though>>8363321

congrats though!

>>8366202
You can use Buyee since that is advertised on the auction site itself. I was told that they're okay to use as long as it is one item (I heard they tack on shipping fees when there are multiple items).

Personally, I use FromJapan. I've used it on Yahoo Auctions (I got my Detective Poodle JSK that way) and overseas and they're really reliable. I haven't had one problem yet.

though i do have to say, FJ has the most reliable auction tool for Y!J
if you're desperate for something on mbok though, i'd suggest chibitenshi

Hey man it was worth a shot!

This arrived today and I am ecstatic. I will take some coord pics in the daylight. But, I never would have achieved it without help from a very generous seagull. Thank you again dear!

The bodice fits a little strange, but I am hoping I can figure out the issue. I also want to change the front organza ribbon. Any suggestions of what might look better?

Apollonia in Shell Rose is on LM (I know some were looking for it in mint)

hey anon, Sugar Hearts JSK in pink with headbow just showed up on mbok today!

I check the auctions (and second hand shops) daily so I would have found it anyway, so it's not really your fault enabler-chan.
These threads are enabler central though.
But I love it when people find their dream items.

>>8366196
I know what you mean, but I had been for this for so many years. Sometimes you do silly things when you have a mighty need.

>>8366228
That is awesome though, do you have a picture?

>>8366441
Thanks, I hope you find one as well, for a better price.

>>8366202
Trust me, it's not a scary process at all anon.
I love using FromJapan, their system seems a bit complicated but they have the check service.
It only costs 150 yen and they will check your items once they come in to see if there's anything wrong with it.
You can also mark things down before shipping them, which has saved me so much of money as I live in the EU.
When I buy a lot I make sure I have to pay customs only a small amount, that way you fly under their radar.
The downside to FJ is they will only store your stuff up to 30 days. But that's still not so bad, just not as nice as Buyee's.

You can also use Buyee, which is the most user friendly SS I've ever used. Everything is pretty much automatic and worry free.
They are a bit more expensive and you can't mark things down for a lower price to avoid or fool customs.
But they now offer cheaper shipping options and you can store your stuff for up to 90 days so you can combine shipping.
Combining your items costs 600 yen I think for 5 items? Can't remember.
If you don't have to worry about customs (i.e. you are not an EU gull) go for Buyee. Really, just try it!

Twinkle Journey Anon here with slightly exciting news! I was able to get the Pink Cat Door Skirt off of Fril thanks to Chibitenshi! I can't wait for it to arrive now (may not be a dream dress but it was definitely a dream skirt!)

Thank you Anon from the last thread that shared the Fril.jp site!

Dream dress anons I wasn't aware of the black x purple colourway of Tulle Rose until today. I have the white x blue but I think the purple is my new ultimate dream dress has anyone ever seen it for sale before?

Congrats, anon! I'm so glad it worked out for you.

>>8363387
Berry River anon still here and I got that deposit money.

I just need an SS now. Does anyone know a good one I could trust, and their rates possibly?

>>8363959
And also thank you based anon for your reply

>>8367707
Isnt that the same one that the girl sold last year and then refused to give it to the girl that won? I remember it was missing a pompom on the trim too. Unkess its a coincidence?

>>8369158
taobaonow is the easiest to use and I've been using them for the past 3 years with no problems

>>8369173
thank you so much anon
>dreams are coming true

>>8369173
>>8369181
taobaonow has an upgraded version of the site, and fees are calculated a little differently to give you a slightly better deal. spreenow is taobaonow's new system, and they charge a flat 10% fee on everything (no minimum) plus it's even easier to toggle between orders and shipments and to add items to your cart now

10/10 would recommend
your dress on their system

Is anyone looking for Milky-chan the fawn?
I'm no AP fan so I don't know if this is still a popular print but this used to be the shit a few years back so maybe there's still someone out there looking for this.
Bids starting from 10k, buyout price a measly 15k.
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f145487164

>>8369170
I sold the one last year. It had more damages though.

I think someone was looking for Meta Telephone right? 11 minutes left, but you can probably message the seller if not in time.

>>8369562
>http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f145487164

There was one anon that was always looking for milky-chan stuff, but I think she was looking for the white colourway.

>>8363321
>tfw literally almost crying because this perfection shows up when I just participated on a GO and there's no way I can justify spending more money right now.

Now excuse me, I am going to sell my left kidney on the black market to gain money for frills

I mostly want that darn blue x black Moitie headdress, but I really want everything else too

>>8371951
Oh, and I know that Church Gate and possibly Classical Ribbon are up atm, but I don't think I can afford them right now. At least they come up quite a lot though.

>>8371955
Why post when you can't afford? What's the point?

>>8363372
Someone on Lacemarket is selling a set of the darker pink special set of Honey Cake right now.

I always thought the older version was ugly, but now it's so beautiful

>>8372020
What's wrong with telling you about my dream dresses in a dream dress thread?

someone is selling a Honey Cake Round JSK Ivory set on Lacemarket

http://www.lacemarket.us/angelic-pretty-honey-cake-round-jsk-set-in-ivory/

>>8372843
I' buy this so fast but it's not a dream dress and I can't justify spending for the sake of owning a well-loved print/dress.

>>8372843
>Never the OP

>>8369776
So why did you refuse to sell it to the girl who won? Were you pissed off you weren't going to make as much money back as what you spent?

This dress in L (any color but bitter). I see it go up all the time in M but never in L. Why do I have to be tall and need the length :(

once more with feeling

>>8373270
also would consider the high waist skirt of this series. green & beige colourways preferred.

>>8372243
Same anon, same... I own the JSK but I fell in love with the OP first so it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

>>8372243
>>8373291
so much competition haha
are you both after the white colourway? i will fight to the death if it's the black jsk though

>>8359341
in other news, i managed to snag a dim light pinafore jsk in wine for a very good price, so i'll give up on the holy jsk in navy for now

>>8373383
Did you get the one off Y! Auctions?

>>8373291
>>8373383
>>8372243
I'm after the white JSK and black OP to complete my 'set', but given the age of them, hope of finding one in good condition is declining.

>>8373442
no, got it off a girl from a fb sales group
isn't the one on Y!J 60,000 yen? (or did i miss a cheap one?)
i would maybe pay that for the holy cut jsk in navy, but definitely not for wine in a cut i dislike

do you mind if you get the plain OP or the ribbon version? i only started my search again because someone posted an outfit of themselves wearing the ribbon OP in black on CoF and i was like... this print exists!
i've seen a few dresses in people's egl wardrobe posts, but they're obviously holding onto them ugh

I don't know if anyone was looking for it in colors other than ivory, but AP Lacy Lady OP is up on y!j in Pink
>http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r128573154
>would bid but only looking for black

>>8373481
Ah yes, it was that price on Y! But I know 'cheap/a good price' can vary depending on how much a piece is wanted. Congrats on getting it though it isn't your preferred version.

I'm looking for the plain black OP, I had the white ribbon OP and it didn't suit me and although black usually makes everything look better, I'd rather the simplicity of the plain OP. But i'm not fussed about the version of the white JSK

>>8372843
>>8372105
Man, today is the day for honey cake, holy shit
mbok auction for the jsk in pink
http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_469140410.html?_SRC=li_i0

>>8373383
>>8373291 here, I'm after the white OP, yes. I think I'll stop looking for pieces from this series after that.

>>8373801
mine mine mine mine mine!!!

>>8373808
White OPs have come up for sale fairly recently, there was on LM at the start of the week

>>8373837
That gives me hope! I'm preparing for the onslaught of Misty Sky at the moment but I will probably start to be on the lookout for it afterwards. Thanks anon.

>>8372965
Lacemarket relisted the auction after it ended (so there was the one she left feedback on and the new one) because they were under the impression i had deleted the original auction. unfortunately that's impossible once people have started bidding. In the meantime i had gotten back from work and messaged the winning buyer already and was completely oblivious of the relist or the feedback she left till after the initial messages. After talking with the mods and pointing out that the original listing was still there and now had feedback they deleted the second listing and redacted the feedback. So in the end everything was fine and what happened behind the scenes was 300% tamer than it seemed.

>>8372020
As I'll get paid soon and if it's a rarer item I might be able to scrounge up enough for it.

http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/198588787

pretty sure there's always a classicfag after this one, good luck gulls!

>>8376110
thank you! on my DD list!

Church Gate.

>Chocolate Rosette Salopette is up on Y!J
>It's $800
>the OTKs are nearly $100

It's my dream piece, but I can't justify it. I think it's time to let go. Have at it, /cgl/, and good luck!

>>8363186
I'm looking for the same exact set in every color *except* lavender, haha. So if anyone spots this set in any colorway, either this anon or I will gladly swoop it up!

I never see this come up, I need in this cut and colorway sigh

>>8377833
I got this off Mbok a while back, felt like forever for it to show up. Just keep checking, you'll find it eventually.

>>8377904
dunno if this is legit or not?

>>8377996
aaaa you're so lucky anon, I'll keep looking!

>>8377904
Belle Epoque Rose OPs have been cropping up occasionally on Mbok. There was a navy and a wine one on there recently, I have faith that pink will turn up soon.

Not sure if you want it in this colorway anon?

AP bookmark skirt up on yj
>http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f148993358
Pretty sure I've seen this on wishlist/dd threads before

I know someone in a thread before wanted this Antoinette Fleur specifically in this colorway. If you're there, it's on mbok!

>>8379169
Ahh I think my girlfriend posted this but neither one of us can afford to splurge right now. Thank you for linking it! I hope someone else is able to enjoy it!

Hey gulls; popping in to say thank you all so much again and I am so happy it's finally here. It fits like a dream and was everything I hoped for. Please ignore the just got off work coord; cool coords will show up in coming days.

Also, thanks, Meta for making this headdress incredibly difficult and on comfortable to wear.

>>8382018
you look so cute!

>>8382018
yay, it looks great on you!!!
also, i spy that white satchel in the background

>>8382018
Congrats again! Please tell us when you put up your second satchel!

>>8382018
It looks so good! I'm so happy for you!

>>8382018
It was meant to be!

>>8382018
What color is the pin? Just curious. Also congratulations! I will be jumping on that satchel.

Also, Meta still hasn't figured out how to make headwear after all these years.

>>8382059
If you spy closely, there's one in the foreground as well!

>>8382075
I have decided to hold onto it for the time being since the HDoll satchel has some damage and I'd rather not make it worse, but I will certainly post it when I do put it up!

>>8382161
The pin is white! I was afraid it would be the pink one and it wouldn't match my plans for the coord, but it worked out in my favor.

And thanks again to everyone! <3
You all gave me heartwarms.

Also, still on the grind for that blue OP. Now that I know this fits like a dream I'm double thirsty for it.

>>8382172
I'm also really bad at using a tripcode.

>>8382018
You look great - congrats!
