/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Searching for a Triple Fortune Bonnet in black any release is fine. This is a dream item of my item however I'm looking for it to give as a gift to my dear friend as a wedding present who has wanted it since starting lolita and would complement her wardrobe so well.

This is one of mine, someone on here recently offered to sell it to me but disappeared

>>8405935
I've seen a few posts from you - it's very sweet of you to want to get a dream item of yours for a friend. Good luck! I hope they restock and I'd love to get one too

head bow chan here, the head bows are being released as sets so to get them you need to buy a whole set :c nooooooo

Still kooing for BPN Hakuei OP

>>8406027
Maybe people will sell off their old headbows, because they like the new ones better

Also someone just posted the Holy Lantern jsk in black

Baby Seraphim OP super cheap
>http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_469790521.html?_SRC=li_i0

Anons hold me, I just bid on a dream dress but I have a sneaking suspicion that there's a hidden reserve on the auction that hasn't been met.

Still looking for this in any colorway. I'm aware it's tacky as hell, I just have a mighty need.

>>8406049
My time has come。 Requested to bid

>>8406052
I've actually seen it pop up on ebay a lot for some reason, have you been checking there anon?

>>8406052
...is that fucking pink camo?

Fragrant Rose Memories for those who are on the look out
>http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w121636882

This thing forever. Please help, I just cannot fucking find it.

I am willing to trade several vital organs for the Chess Story dress.

TJ Anon here. While I do love the first release OP more than anything new, I love the new OP too and am going to try my best to get my hands on it. (Priority is black, blue, pink)

Here's a dream skirt that I have never seen for sale. I'll take any colorway honestly but I would be shocked if this was sold for over $100. I think I've only seen red for sale on LM once but the auction is old as hell.
>>8406052
I love this, you're not alone anon.

>>8406395
No, anon, it's pink bunny-printed camo.

>>8406181
Good luck anon!
I really wished I could bid on this but I just spent my money on other things *cries*

My ultimate meta dream dress is up for auction. This thread is lucky

AP's Dot Pretty girl OP in red or pink

I know someone tried to link me in the last DD thread, but it was unfortunately the wrong cut. I am only looking for the corset version in black, and any leads would be greatly appreciated! I can make a generous offer for it or link to my wardrobe album for possible trades. Thanks!

Forever looking. I've had so much luck with other dresses lately but this colorway is so damn elusive!

>>8406052

I swear I just saw someone selling this print/color on a skirt... either LSE or the sales thread here?

>>8406624
I kinda see it, but the image is small on mobile

>>8406729
The Engelsbeginn one?

>>8406305
I have been but I guess I missed it ): It's not up there anymore. Thank you though!

>>8406988
I remember it being posted but I totally forgot about that, thank you!! I'm going to go ahead and get the skirt while I hunt down for the OP.

>>8406181
Keep us updated!

>>8406050
>holds you

>>8406748
Heads up that your image is loaded super tiny

>>8407144
>Engelsbeginn
I am tempted to place a bid on it but it looks like someone is using chibitenshi already to bid on it...Would it be selfish of me to get into a bidding war for something that's not even my preferred colorway?

>>8406052
You and me both anon. Especially in that pink.

>>8406729
For me, it would be Dim Light though I did link Engelsbeginn in the last thread for Navy Blue Meta anon.

>>8406027
they look like shit anyway, nothing like the original

>>8406031
We've talked before about the burning we feel for this OP, and I kind of hate thinking of you as a rival. No one else has been after this OP ever and then you popped up and you sound so sweet but I kind of want to kill you. Sorry anon.

Time Lag Anon I found this cut if you're willing to settle/want it too

>http://item.rakuten.co.jp/tokyoalice/a84269/

>>8406404
>>8407455
I'm glad it's not the skirt but holy cow that price!?

>>8407984
i saw the sepia colorway jsk (not sure which cut) go for $900 a few months ago, so i guess people are willing to shell out that much for it

Castle of Nightmare in black!!
>http://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/detail2960.html

>>8407332
I'm aware, I don't know why but every time I post a picture from my work computer it makes it tiny as hell. I've even tried re-sizing it and everything.

Maybe one day......

>>8407564
Noo anon, let's not be rivals. We will have a much larger chance of finding the dress if we team up. Because by the looks of it, no one here will stumble upon the dress on accident.
>tfw I want to post a wtb but fear more people will put it on their wishlist

Also for all you cat anons. Meta's Cat Print OP in pink got posted on LSE not so long ago

>>8407574
thank you anon. sadly it's not the cut I'm searching for. My heart leapt when I saw it and then I went back to a fetal position.

>>8407574
I found the necklace on auction too. The powers that be must be trolling.

Here we go again.

>>8409508
I want to believe.

>>8407453
Which colorway / cut of Dim Lights, anon? I have a wine JSK I'm contemplating selling, if that might interest you?

>>8409786
The Holy Cut in Bordeaux, anon. It is probably my favourite Meta piece. Thanks for even giving me a heads up!

I've missed the last two auctions for this dress. *gross sobbing*

>>8409870
Pretty sure the red Holy cut is up on YJP right now. Are you in that bidding war?

Was someone looking for radiant candlelight? Halter version in navy just showed up on the fril app

>>8409878
That would be me

>>8409507
>>8409498
Sorry Anon I thought it was worth a shot

Bride of Death skirt + bonnet on fril

http://fril.jp/item/2752afc5936bc44a25d4b17e0e5e95e8

>>8406546
nice job expressing colorways

>>8405937
Someone in the german comm wants to sell her white one for 360 euro. Do you want me to contact her?

>>8406546
The different colourways remind me of split-wigs

Shittttt, two dream dresses popped on on CC, and are already sold. I've been searching for one for months...

Finally.
I'm so glad I waited it out for the wine JSK.

Will I ever find it in this colorway

>>8411279
I didn't even know this colorway exists

>>8411279
You and me both sis. I saw it sold once for $300 on Mbok, sad I dragged my feet on it.

>>8411283
It was an in-store limited release (Shinjuku shop I think)

>>8411279
I got this, it's even more beautiful IRL because the red is a very deep red, not as bright as in their pictures!

>>8411301
why rub it in our faces then

>>8411405
Chill. I doubt that's what she's doing. I read more into that as, "keep looking because the stock photos don't do it justice and you'll love it when you find it".

>>8411417
That's what I meant indeed!

>>8411301
>Lust for this dress intensifies.
I won't fight the really thirsty anons for it though

>>8411417
Drop the trip, Choke. I like you, but of course it'll sound like you're trying to show off if you say "look, I have this dress" and attach your name to it.

>>8411301
No one likes a show off.

>tfw dream dress finally shows up
>tfw someone already jumped on it

>>8412122
>>8412122
That happened to me in May, anon. I went to check LM on my lunch break and it had both appeared and sold between my first break and lunch break. It was my choice cut and color and everything, and even sold for the cheapest I have ever seen it. I'm still bitter over it.

>>8411301
Choke, I have nothing against you, but what was the purpose of using your trip for that post?

>>8412201
She might have forgot to erase the field then kept it on for the second reply so you guys knew it was her replying?

But on topic I just impulse bought a dress that stole my eye because so I wanted to keep it off the dream dress "what could have been" list.
>pic related
It was love at first sight, but I already had a solid plan to buy another actually on the list.

I still have money, I just got paid today and I don't know why but I just get super anxious spending. It might sound pathetic, but I always ask for second opinions with these things and I don't know anyone else who shares passion in lolita so the answers I'll get are "why the fuck are you spending money on that anyway".
>mfw reaches in wallet for money but only pulls out spaghetti

So anons I ask you to please peer presser me. Bully like never before. I've seen you do it so please use these powers for good and motivate my cheap weak ass

>>8409484
>team up
So would you share the dress? Because teaming up sounds like it would never work. Or one person will work their ass off to find it only to have the other team member snag it last second. Just sayin

I'm having the worst luck I've ever had with the dream dress search.

I'm the anon from >>8411219 who missed two this morning on CC, after stalking for weeks, not seeing anything. Then, I get home to see another one on FB is "pending". Wtf is that a payment plan or someone just interested and wanting to hold it? Sucks because I can pay immediately. Baby got back to me saying that my preferred cut/color of the Bambi series is sold out for good. I didn't realize Baby ran their reserves like AP. How are you sold out of something that isn't even in production yet? I lost the auction for another dream dress last week because I was at work. I'm just so frustrated with lolita right now.

>>8411243, You beat me to it. At least another gull is getting her dream dress.

>>8412241
No I meant like posting the link to the other if one didn't happen to be able to afford it at the moment, or get my SS to be on the look out for an extra one or something. I was just trying to be nice,

>>8407453
Dim Light was my first dream dress and first brand item. I still only have 3 pieces because I just have to like the unicorns. $300 on a miniskirt... But I have to say I liked the fact that the print looks/feels like an oil painting. Best of luck in your search!

>>8412256
What were the dresses anon? I may have bought one that I can pass off to you.

TWINKLE CARNIVAL ANON ITS TIME

>http://www.lacemarket.us/twinkle-carnival-switching-jsk-ivory/

>>8412311
Meta's Fairy Tale JSK in lavender, IW's Forest Harvest Festival in pink, IW's Theresia Rose in ivory/red, IW's Marine Rose in ivory/red, and Baby's Bambi JSK I in blue or ivory (going to contact Chibitenshi). Even if you didn't happen to buy one, I appreciate the kindness anon.

>>8412328
Awh, I'm sorry. I bought two dresses and those weren't them. I wish you luck in finding them, though!

>>8412122
>same anon
>tfw another dream dress suddenly pops back up for a great price
>JUMPS ON IT

a bad day turned into a good day!

>>8412137
ouch, that sucks, anon. I hope yours shows up again eventually too! I'm still kind of bitter I lost out on the other one, too, but at least now I might have a shot at another dream dress to make up for it.

>>8412324
I just dropped money on a hotel room for Otakon. ;-; some other time

>cries

>>8412373
maybe you can ask them for a hold and/or payment plan, anon!

>>8412239
Fucking do it. One of the biggest problems with lolita is that if you let something get past you, you might never find it again.

>>8412239
Buy it! You might never see it again.

FUCK

I never understood the Lotta hype until about a year go. Started falling in love with it hoping the deer would look nice with my skin tone. Relentlessly check LM, you know the drill. My friend is having a deer themed party which spurs me to nab Lotta even more. Lost all hope and settled on the Delft Lotta miniskirt in wine, which is beautiful but difficult as hell to coord.

I go check LM again after responding to anons about Gardenberries- lo and behold, Lotta is like a bus. You wait fucking months and three listings pop up at once. Two skirts and a JSK. Hmm, coincidence?

Yeah...

I could have lived with just the skirt but they were the wrong colorway. I'm pretty poorfag and have never bought something so expensive. My parents would disown me if they found out how much it cost. My dad already freaked when I told him Half the cost of servicing my flute for the first time in 15 years

>>8412498
Check the previous threads, Lotta was popping a bit there and I don't think anyone nabbed them

>>8412460
>>8412468
THE REQUEST IS IN, and I even snagged my dream corset too!
>pic related

Won't be able to buy anything else this time around with the budget, but you guys we're right. There's always next time, and what would really be the point of having blouses and pettis with no main pieces?

I know everyone hates buying from here but heyyy black Twinkle Journey heyyy

http://www.lolitadesu.com/twinkle-journey-jsk-in-black-from-metamorphose-temps-de-fille/

>>8412266
I understand what you meant, anon. That's a sweet offer and I appreciate it! Not sure why it got hate but that's ok. I am debating just making a similar op at this point like you mentioned getting a seamstress to recreate!

>>8412573
uh... to each their own anon, but THAT is your 'dream corset'?

>>8412590
people hate lolita desu? why is that? i've gotten some great deals from her for accessories.

>>8412788
Basically she buys a ton of stuff dirt cheap of the auctions and jacks up the prices in her shop. Some things are definitely a good deal, like that TJ jsk isn't terribly priced, but most of it is not. And if you take in to account what SHE paid for it, it's really not.

>>8412573
>kitty carousel
Sorry anon.

>>8412788
>>8412834

Was it also lolitadesu that was scalping, or was it kitty carousel? I get them mixed up as they're both in the secondhand business.

Like, not overpricing scalping, but legit bought a popular series off the AP webshop, then after it's sold out the shop put up they put up signs that said "we got item x in our store!" and priced everything at a markup.

I just can't remember whether it was lolitadesu or kity carousel that did this, though.

>>8406049
How much are people willing to pay for this? The bid is 36,000 now

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/violetblue/10003690/

looks like it's sold out already? because if so damn, that was fast, i just checked there a couple hours ago. was it a seagull?

>>8412590
>$265

holy fuck that's actually a reasonable price though, compared to what i've been seeing lately regardless of the impending "rerelease"

>>8412852
>>8412832
that totally sounds like kitty carousel. lolita desu is more second hand stuff it seems rather than brand new item scalping. kitty up charges to a ridiculous degree sometimes (i've seen her do almost $60 for wrist cuffs or a necklace and that's without shipping) which is why i refuse to do business with her.

if lolita desu does go and buy from mbok and the like and resell, i'm not too mad tbh? her site is easier to search and navigate through for newbies who aren't comfortable with using an SS or a jp-only site, and her prices are at least a lot more reasonable than other resellers. i can't complain too much i guess.

>>8412256
Sorry that you missed out on it.
And it sounds like we have similar taste.

>>8412864
Who the hell is sandwich, I swear they've outbid me on my last 2 auctions.

>>8413084
Not me, I was hoping to pay less than $300 for it
Might be a Chinese ss, or some Japanese girl with an addiction because they have loads of feedback

>>8413084
Sandwich is Japonica Market, iirc. It's definitely a regularly used SS.

>>8411279
I'm pretty sure I saw this at closetchild

>tfw managed to get that jsk
>tfw couldn't get the underskirt
>tfw that brown is impossible to match

I can't even find a picture of that elusive underskirt

This Boz OP. I have a sleeveless Boz nun dress, it's gotten me hooked. The all black colourway, and full length version, is only version I care for.

Holy Lantern ivory JSK and set http://www.lacemarket.us/ap-holy-lantern-jsktightswristcuff-set-2/ I know SOMEONE was looking for it

>>8412498
Here's the original Lotta on mbok http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_469851987.html?_SRC=li_i0

>>8413338

God Anon. This is so pretty....

>>8413338
I'd be glad to enter the ring with you, anon.

Praying to Mana, please bless my wardrobe one day.

>>8413308
I've never seen the underskirt either but I think I'd be able to match it with all the shades of brown I have from steampunk.

I hope you pull together a nice coord. T^T

>>8413954
Good googly moogly what is that beauty?!

>>8413972
Back off, I will trade my already existing first born for it!!

>>8413972
>>8413976
It's an old JetJ piece. I fell in love so I'm a bit protective, lol.

>>8413972

>what is reverse image search

I found it but I ain't telling you schlub.

>>8413993
>question already answered
Wow. Such edge.

>>8413954
You shouldn't have posted it here anon. Now you will end up fighting for it.

>>8414037
Not OP but way to piggyback assholes. You guys are fucked up. There were people looking for Hospitality Doll and they at least waited to air it till she found her set. Even the dd thread isn't safe anymore.

>>8414044

That's exactly why I don't post my dream dresses here. Because that's exactly what 4chan is made out of. Assholes.

For instance I'll post a link to someone's DD if I know it's someone's, but I always make sure it isn't mine or I shouldn't buy it at that point.

>>8414044
I think if you're after common dresses like twinkle journey or whatever it's still safe but if it's an unknown old piece you should probably keep it to yourself. Hospitality doll was an exception.

>>8414056
OP here..I've had some tears over it and am whatever now. If they feel the need to take a dress out from under me that they didn't even know existed an hour ago then fine..I hope they enjoy it.

>>8414064
Honestly what did you think would happen?

>>8414069
Considering the dream dress has helped me in the past, pretty much just that. It's pretty rare that cgl doesnt shit down the throats of people piggybacking so I'm confused as to how me posting my dream dress and this happening is my fault. No worries, lesson learned. No need to be more of an jerk to me than they are.

>>8414071
*dream dress thread

>>8414071
Do you have an email? If I ever see it, I would rather send you the link directly instead of someone here snagging it

>>8414080
Thank you anon. That means a lot and if you have any rarities you are afraid to post here I would be glad to help you look for them if you want to email me. The tears have turned to happy ones. Thank you so much.

>>8413933
>>8413897

The blouse and underskirt just make this dress pop even more. Now I want it!

I'll actually fight people for any release of any of BTSSB/AATP/Antique Beast's witch hats.

>my prayers for a Twinkle Journey re-release were answered, please brand gods let some brand release a full-size witch hat this fall

I also only want the unembroidered Nameless Poem, which I've never seen for sale in size M (and for a not-insane price).

>>8413980

Don't worry, anon; I don't want it, I was just excited by the glory. Light colors look like shit on me.

>>8414064
If it makes you feel any better, I was the first person to respond to it and I won't be looking to purchase it at all. It was just cool to a see a piece that I had never seen before, and I would never go after something that someone shared they were going for.

>>8413933

>>8414037
>>8414069
>>8414111
Welcome to the war zone.

>>8414171
>>8414179
That does make me feel better, thank you. I don't really like JetJ except for that jsk, and the thought of competition for it really got me going. Thanks for coming back to say that.

>>8414165

I can't remember if my Nameless Poem OP is M or S, but if you chuck me your email, I can hit you up when I plan on selling? I'm only holding onto it for a photoshoot.

>>8414044
>>8414062
To be fair I don't think anyone was really looking for HD until after she was so vocal about her search; quite a few people didn't know it existed until then. It was cool that people respected her enough to wait after that, and I hope the same happens for obscure JetJ anon.

>>8414165
Excellent taste, anon.

>>8414185

Yeah, I was part of the crowd that was ooh-ing over it, but in all honesty, I like VM's take on the pattern much more. I'm really sorry I made you cry!

>>8414186
Crappy throwaway email's in the name field!

>>8414215
That dress is beautiful. I am definitely partial to the JetJ, but I can see the VM being coorded beautifully. It's ok, really. I think I was upset more because the dd search in general(among other of life's adventures) hasn't gone great for me lately and I've seen so many other people get their dreams. In the instant is why kind of a "why me" reaction than anything else.
I really do appreciate you all coming back to smooth down my extremely ruffled feathers.

>>8413084
japonica market SS

>>8412834
It was just were the girl on egl sales had it put

>>8412751
Yeah I don't know, I had seen it and for some reason I loved it. Kinda a hit and miss with my taste, can't win em all.
>mfw have to stop and ask myself if something is oddly neat or just ugly

If anything this just makes me determined to work a coord with it so hard it looks good

>>8413976
>>8413972
Yall need to get some respect.

>>8414044
That's why even though I like Lotta original print and its one of my dream dresses I still back off because I know many gulls have been searching for it much longer. Its just the right thing to do.

>>8414071
Yeah this is the first time I've seen actual full out and open piggybacking in the dd threads. I want to blame summer but I don't know.

I'll message the email you posted below if I see anything

>>8414409
Afaik no one here is actively looking to buy lotta so you can get it if you want.
>but I assume you're just doing it because you don't have the money

>>8414409
You must have missed that part where people said they didn't want it and weren't going to try buying it, but wanted to comment on how beautiful it was.

Back from a trip to Japan, had absolutely no luck at closet child over there.

>>8414444
Damn, I'm sorry anon, a visit to CC seems like it would quench all the thirst in these threads. Sorry you didn't have any luck; I'll keep looking for you!

>>8414437
Yeah never seen that part. Just it coming up on a few other's dream dress collages

>>8414425
Nigga I got a job

>>8414452
Then buy it

>>8414456
It's called waiting for a paycheck. Do you even work or do you think everyday you're there you shit out money?

>>8414464
If you're waiting for your paycheck then you don't have the money.

>>8414469
Lotta came up in the past couple of threads but I thought people actually wanted it so I passed and bought something else when I could have got it. Why the fuck are you so prominent in trying to hassle me?

>>8382646 Pleats a la Mode anon from the last thread, I found the JSK in red on Fril. I'm not sure if you're interested in that colour, but I remembered you because we both want Napoleon Marine. It's cheap too.

>>8414469
>what is saving up for something
I don't know why we still get these comments when we've had so many threads about budget lolita and that a lot of us aren't making 6 figures and have to pay rent and bills and other things

>>8414165
Antique best opens up tomorrow and they have witch hats so you can order one yourself. I wanted to get I've myself but we'll see how my luck getting TJ goes

IW Rose Damascene in wine, but I really like the black colorway too. Seems like this only comes up for sale in brown.

>>8414437
Because we totally come to the DD thread simply to admire beautiful dresses . You know bitches added them to their wishlists.

It's why I don't post some of mine.

penguindrum blouse is on cc: http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/80364

>>8414165
>>8414613
Seconding! The exact hat on your wishlist is still in their shop, I hope you're able to snag one! Good luck to you both!

>>8414044
This. Bad attitudes all round, here, over multiple dresses.

Lotta skirt in brown

http://www.lacemarket.us/innocent-world-lotta-skirt/

What's such bad attitude about seeing a dress and falling in love with it? Like do people think they got dibs on a dress because they knew it existed first?

>>8415164

It's the rudness of going 'I'll fight you over this!'. There is such a thing as manners.

>>8415185
Most people are just saying "fight me" in good fun

>>8415185
Is this international bitterness day? I see this posted all the time as a lighthearted comment that no one gets upset about. No one even made that kind of comment, it was a warning.
Calling people assholes and getting in tears about fucking nothing here.

>>8414409
I don't think it's that big a deal that other people would want the same dress as you. It was even posted recently in the JetJ thread, so if more people know about now, it won't just be because you posted it here.

It's just people like >>8414044 >>8414409 overreacting calling people assholes and talking about "respect" that grinds my gears.

I'm sure people are willing to help you with finding the dress, especially now that you've drawn attention to yourself over it.

>>8412239
>>8412573
I'm glad you did it. I regret letting the high-waisted grey one get away. I'm no longer in a situation where I should be buying dresses now and won't be for at least a month or 2 sadly.

Corporate greed has now solidified into a very real law of suffering known as the TPP. Do not be fooled - those that champion this bill as "free trade" are fully prepared to let Obama BYPASS congress and make deals that America has no say in. In fact, only 5 of the 29 chapters INVOLVE trade!

https://youtu.be/xzfxv2XQoPg

>And the best part of these bills? You're not supposed to KNOW or CARE about it.

Thursday, the American House passed the TPA on a very close margin of 218-204.

Now it moves to the Senate. This is the LAST line of defense before Obama can sign it.
We must not wait for the day it is voted on.
There are other bills similar that are coming - but first and foremost, TPP is priority.

The TPP includes:
>Allow major corporations to sue governments for expected loss of profit over legislation on a "maybe"
>Force ISPs to spy on people to enforce DRM/DMCA copyright law and possibly cut off internet access
>Get rid of the labeling on harmful products that say they're harmful (cigarettes)
>Removing the country of origin from packaged goods such as meat

>>8412328

Email me what you want to give for Marine Rose. I have thought about selling mine or if I remember correctly I have a friend who might want to sell hers (that she bought from me since I got two during last luckypack season from IW)

>>8415202
Oh shit, anon, if this is the set you're talking about, I've been wanting to sell mine in grey. I have the JSK/OTKs/blouse/headbow, blouse is missing the tie and bow is just a a bit damaged, we can definitely negotiate if you're ever interested again. Here's my throwaway just in case! I'm in no rush to sell so if you'd like me to hold on to it for you I'd be happy to.

>>8415046
>>8414613
I love you anons. My wallet hates you, but I love you.

>>8415195
Soooo....I didn't post >>8414409 and the discussion ended pretty gracefully. Yes I was upset at first, but we all worked it out before y'all came in here and assumed I was still bitching. This >>8414229 is actually the last thing I posted on the matter and had hoped that it would close the whole thing. I'm sorry if you think I'm still raising a ruckus but that just isn't the case.

I know there was an anon in an older DD thread looking for oldschool Meta pieces, so if they're still around, this one was on your list and is cheap as Hell.

>>8414588
Do you need a SS to order from Fril? Says I need some app.

>>8416930
yes, chibitenshi and No Country For Tall Men (on facebook) can both buy from fril

I've posted this in two sale threads before, but I'm getting honestly obsessed with this dress. I have several other dream dresses, but I guess missing it by just one day really got to me and makes it my top priority right now. I know it's stupid, but I browse every shop I know for accessories and stuff to go with it, even though I don't even own it. It's getting unhealthy.

>>8415396
I don't know if you even want to know, but I own the Antique Beast witch hat and I've got to say, I was pretty disappointed by the quality. It feels pretty cheap and a bit flimsy, so maybe you want to keep hunting for an AatP one? I think ciciworks makes a really nice one, too. But if the AB hat is the one you really want, go for it! It sure isn't awful or anything like that, maybe I again obsessed a bit too much over it so my expectations got irrational high.

Still looking for Dolly Cross skirt/jsk in any color but navy.

Albino Accord in any cut, red or black (I know she's thinking about a re-release, but I figured it was worth my time to ask)

Vampire Requiem OP in black. May consider JSK

Milky Cross in black in any cut for retail price or lower. Lot to ask for with the scalpers making their rounds.

>>8417179
Isn't Milky cross getting a rerelease?

>>8417259
Well they also don't know the correct names of items that are apparently dream dresses, so...

>>8417179
You've got Vampire Prelude, not Vampire Requiem, shown.

I've almost given up hope with this. I've only seen it for sale in this cut and color once.

>>8417350
I think I saw this for sale recently.. Or maybe it was the JSK

>>8417350
>>8417352
Nevermind.. it was the JSK

Hnngh, that price.... I unfortunately couldn't get it until Friday (if it's even there, super unlikely) but I'd snatch it in a heartbeat otherwise. Thank you so much for the heads up, anon! I really appreciate it, and I'll be watching this and hoping things work out in my favor.

Are you looking for the white Napoleon Marine? I'll keep an eye out for you, but I swear that color is a unicorn. Best of luck with your search as well!

>>8414165
Don't hate me but I'm into that half bonnet. Big hair and all that

>>8413654

Why am I such a dumb shit

FFS where did all this Lotta influx come from and why is my timing so bad

I thought I was settling on Delft Lotta only two weeks ago then searched to check something on the listing only to see 3 Lottas at once (two skirts, one jsk) I was scared of letting it slip through my fingers again like the last one on LM (I logged in and it was *poof* gone) Also missed one on Y!J because I was too retarded to just set up an SS in time. This one is over £100 cheaper than the one I just bought. Why. I only have two brand items in ten years and every time I decide to take the plunge on something expensive I get assfucked

>>8417081
Does it feel like a hat you could wear as a regular hat, or does it feel more like a costume piece? I don't want to drop the money on a hat I won't be able to wear as a regular hat.

>yes, I am that person who aspires to wear witch hats on a regular basis

>>8417480
>wearing a witch hat on a regular basis
I like you, anon!

I'd say it's a bit better than custome quality, but it's rather light and not as sturdy as an everyday hat. It's okay for halloween (by lolita standards, which I guess are higher), but as I said, I was a bit disappointed. I could take some pictures for you when I come home tonight if you like?

>>8417510
I'd like that! I may end up waiting to see if BTSSB/AatP release a witch hat this year and/or commissioning one I can wear as a regular hat.

>>8417308
Ugh sorry, that's what meant. I always get the three AatP vampire dress names mixed up. I was really tired last night. I want all three of them, and I have Vampire Forest already. Prelude is my next goal, Requiem after that.

>>8417259
Already sold out. Most of the listings right now are around 400-600 so I'm looking to see if there's any that pop up from the first release or anything.

>>8415369
Ah shit anon, the timing really is bad. I have a holiday coming up soon and my spending will be dedicated to that. I will definitely keep you in mind as it is such a damn cute dress, and you have the version with the headbow which is the one I want too. I'm really warmed by your offering. I don't know when I'll get to buy again but good luck with your sales if you decide to go ahead with it!

>>8417404
I don't know really where this whole Lotta convo went, but I'm just jumping in to say heyyy last reduction on a Lotta skirt might be worth it?
http://www.lacemarket.us/innocent-world-lotta-skirt/

This is a strange request, but I think it fits best here in this thread, since it is my dream dress/outfit. Back a while ago the brand To Alice on taobao came out with the most adorable ringmaster type outfit I'd ever seen. I know it had a red jacket with gold trim, some kind of skirt or dress and maybe a blouse? Anyway, since I am an idiot and the universe hates me I did not save it to my computer and it's not there on the website anymore. Did anyone save any pics of it possibly? Or have pics of someone wearing it? It's so sad not being able to remember what your dream dress even looks like anymore lol.

I know my dream dress isn't a rare one, but I'm happy to say that I just got the OP of Sugar Hearts in Lavender and I'm crying because I'm so happy.
Sugar Hearts was one of the prints that got me into Lolita so I'm happy that it's finally mine.

>>8418022
You're welcome, and no worries. I like Vampire Prelude, and already own Vampire Forest and Vampire Requem, but I wasn't super keen on the colourways. I was sad that Prelude's black colourway was black and red, rather than in say the colours that Requiem was in. It's what stoppeme from getting it, to complete the series.

>>8417547
I'm sorry for taking so long, but here are a few pictures of the hat. As you can see, it doesn't look bad, but it's not as sturdy as I thought it would be. Now that I look at it, it looks exactly like in the stock pictures, so I honestly don't know why I was surprised. Well, I hope you find the perfect hat for your needs, witch anon!

>>8414776
Excellent taste, anon. I feel like I see this come up now and then on yahoo so I'll try to remember if I see it again!

>>8415185
This. People have started doing this more and more, as well as piggybacking WTB's in the sales threads, steadily for the past maybe 6 mo-year. These threads did not used to be like this and it's just really fucking rude.

>>8417081
>>8420251
Tbh I feel that way about the hat I got from them too. But in general I always prefer very sturdy wool/reinforced hats. Is the witch hat also made from a sort of tightly woven polyester poplin material?

>>8420376
>Is the witch hat also made from a sort of tightly woven polyester poplin material?

I actually had to google that, but it seems to be out of something like that. It's super light and when I wore it on a wig, I actually didn't notice when it fell off my head.

>smashes guitar

Holy crap I am more than pleased when it comes to my dress rack up. Makes taking phone calls all day for rude costumers so much more worth it.

Almost about time to remake the collage

I guess I'll hold out for a BTSSB hat, then. Thank you for the photos and reviews, anon!

Congrats anon!! That wishlist looks so small and it makes me happy!!

Good vibes for everyone, because I just purchased my dream dress as well.

>>8417403
It's been around for a while, so you might get lucky!
I'm actually looking for it in black, although I've been put off by the fact I'd have no idea how to wear it.

>>8420561
that's whyteleafe right? I browse MM a lot on auction sites, I've seen it before, I'll post here if I see it.

>>8420868
I'll keep an eye out for you anon, it's a beautiful dress!

Hey Misty Sky anons I just saw a black colourway jsk at Shinjuku closet child so if you want it contact your SS asap!!

Seeing as you resort to such petty name calling so quickly for being in support of this sort of shitty attitude is what's childish. Sheeesh.

Why is this sort of toxic attitude becoming so rampant in the lolita community?

>>8422344
Fuck it, I emailed them. Twinkle Journey be damned.

>>8422023
I believe so, but if they don't there are a lot of SS's who do so you definitely have a chance! Good luck anon!

I want to thank whoever linked me to the red riding hood skirt on fril a while back. I finally got it, and it's just as beautiful as I imagined it would be.

I also just found the op in red (my ultimate dream dress) for a somewhat reasonable price and bought it. I am so happy I'll probably cry when I receive it.

So happy for you anon!! Love it when a fellow gull gets their dream dress.

>>8422124
Since it was re-released your chances to find it secondhand have definitely increased.
I'd love to find the Ivory version myself, have a bit of an obsession with their "generation" Ivory colored stuff, especially if it has matching torchon lace as well.
Plus the cut of this is just hnnngggg.

Forever crying because I'll never find this colorway with the cape and without bad pilling. I love the black colorway too but not interested in the red one that pops up occasionally.

>>8422485
This is the rerelease I believe (this is the 2011 one), if they'd released it once again after this then I didn't know! I don't care if its original or rerelease, I just want it so bad... The size is perfect for me too... URGGGGHHHH
I've only ever seen it once secondhand and the person was asking for 600 euros with stains and damage...

Elisabeth OP Anon here,

just noticed that YJ! have another one of btssb ols-school rereleases, someone might be interested - it's a good price. I can't afford right now (Student Loan is coming in two months)

Hey that's my listing.
If any of you anons want the Lotta skirt, I'll sell it to you for $175 + shipping ($5 in a padded envelope $10 in a box in us). I'm trying to clear up closet space before my dream dress arrives.
Just let me know you saw it here when you buy it and ill invoice you appropriately.

I'm new to Lolita and I want my first dress to be Lotta in Nordic Blue. It's so beautiful!

>>8424176
Good luck. Everyone and their dog wants it.

Still eternally hunting...I missed the original order and have been regretting it ever since.

My little sister is really new to lolita and she missed out on this when it was still on the site. Can someone help me find this for her? I think she'd also be ok with black.

I know this feeling so hard. Striving the find the black corset version of the Victorian Tassel JSK after saying nahhhh for weeks when it was released.

Hopefully luck will come to both of us!

>>8424277
It looks really nice in worn photos. It isn't terribly small, and would fit a petite person.

>>8424181
The blue colorway is on sale on LM if you're interested.

>>8422453
Not a fan of the cut, but I'll thin about it thanks anon

>>8424303
navy*

>>8421194
Navy is actually my preferred colorway; darker colors for the win, haha. I was thinking of doing a military inspired coord if I got it, if that might help any. I'm a little hesitant about the red, to be honest, but I think I should take a chance on it.

Finally found a dream dress I had all but given up on - Moitie's Chandelier Print OP in black x white! After searching only for this cut and colorway, I had started to like the blue a lot and now I feel weird getting it in my preferred colorway.

>>8422369
Yess you'll love it. The purple tones are quite common in normal stores at the moment (the purple of the dress and the ribbon on the skirt) so hopefully you can find matching stuff really easily

>>8424811
I have the skirt so I already own matching items! I was kicking myself for not getting the dress when I had the money, bought the skirt instead. My time has come!

>>8424062
Are you the one who were going to sell the headbow to headbow-chan if you found the set?

>>8424961
I did make that offer, and even though I'm a little reluctant to do so, the offer is still open (I'd feel really scummy saying no after putting it out there). I think she has a higher chance of snagging a black headbow now though seeing as she was open to the new headbow as well. Maybe she lucked out and was able to get one. If not, yeah, I can sell her the bow.

>>8426491
Thank you so much! Keeping a hawk eye on these for the next few days.

As a question to the thread, would you go for your dream cut or dream color first? Just curious since it was something I thought about.

>>8426592
Color. I did that with an IW dress that I thought might look bad because I got a different cut than I was used to. Ended up being more flattering than the cut I wanted.

>>8426592
>cut or color
Definitely color. If it was a cut I didn't like I could always modify the dress

>>8426592
Depends for me. Honestly probably cut if its something I really love, and color if it's something less specific. (Like certain OP cuts I adore, where if its a dream JSK then I just go for my favorite colorway.)

Crystal dream anon, accessories for you just popped up on LM.

>>8424807
This is SO superior to their ugly blue. Congratulations!

DID YOU GET IT ANON?
WE NEED TO KNOW

>>8421381
Thank you! Any help is appreciated. The white skirt is up and I'm thinking of nabbing it just as a place holder. I suppose making sure the colorway looks decent on my skin would be a good plan too.

This jsk in burgundy or black. I have been hunting it for years and have NEVER seen it for sale. EVER. It's not like it goes for a lot of money, I just have never seen people sell this thing. But it looks so gorgeous on anyone who has ever worn it.

>>8427008
Ah,the auction doesn't end for awhile anon! I'm really, really hoping I win, but I know a few gulls are looking at the auction as well as their friends, so who knows what may happen.

If I don't win the auction, I'm very happy and lucky to say that gull and I spoke and we agreed on a price for me to buy her old OP. It isn't a set, but it is a dream dress! I don't mind waiting on the rest of the pieces to turn up if I have to.

I'm so excited! Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement!

>>8427034
I have my fingers crossed for you <3

>>8425006
head bow chan here still havent gotten the head bow

>>8426514
I'm so tempted but I know those would both look like ass on me. Still hoping to find the OP.

How long does alice fururun take to you generally? I filled out the form for overseas buyers 2 days ago but they haven't responded yet. I don't want to be impatient but I'm nervous. Should I just get an ss to get it for me or should I wait?

>>8427568
*get back to you

>>8427568
Fururun takes a while, last time I ordered from them it took about a week for them to respond. Then another two days after I sent the confirmation.

>>8427624
Thank you! I'm just nervous because I want the damn dress.

>>8425216
Yep no problem!

>>8424192
Hey I found this today..
http://www.lacemarket.us/aatp-diana-chiffon-jsk/
Have fun.

>>8427363
Oh no, I'm so sorry anon...
For SS's, I like to use taobaotrends because they usually confirm my order in a day. In addition, sometimes when I want them to buy a (secondhand) listing because it looks like it will sell out quickly, I'll tell them to buy it asap and they'll purchase it the same day I pay. (sometimes I pay as gift even before they confirm my order... I trust them a lot, haha).

I'll continue keeping an eye out for you though! It will definitely show up again.

>>8427019
Ah, I love that piece too, anon; I'm looking for the skirt moreso though. Good luck on your hunt, I've unfortunately never seen it for sale either...

>>8427495
That would make 2 of us

>mfw i saw this and the only colorway i wanted was the one sold out

I settled for the skirt but damn you deer prints. Even just bought a $120 fawn capelet on LM to match because I have no self control and who knows when one will show up again. I hate myself.

>>8427627
You can use their shopping cart as an overseas buyer for future purchases.

>>8427462
It was me, but I'm in the middle of moving and can't afford it right now.
Curses!! Why, Mana?? WHY
