/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Most of their wigs are great. Though I haven't looked up the prices within a while

>>8645686
I guess I'll keep going back for their shoes and accessories, unless there's somewhere else I could get the shoes cheaper. Oh, and any time they have a sale.

>>8645686
I was so lucky to grab a bunch of stuff in the 50% off sale but I can't see myself shopping there again unless they have another sale or make some reductions. I probably sound like and entitled shit but when taobao etc offer arguably nicer pieces at similar prices, not to mention the second-hand market, there's little reason for me to shop there at the moment at all.

For what it's worth, in my opinion 1348 is lovely with lots of nice details and cotton lace, it's even worth buying at it's current price. Has a bit of an oldchool vibe as well with the corset lacing, without you necessarily having to coord it in an oldschool way. There are still a few worthwhile purchases to be made on the site but I think I've probably already picked up the best value items (for the quality) on there already

Not my pics btw.

>>8645696

>>8645696
Nah, you make a really good point, anon. The prices that they give could be spent on secondhand brand so it's not worth the regular price. I really wanted to snag that sailor dress when the 50% off sale happened but by the time I got home, it was over.

>>8645696
I agree anon, I wouldn't buy at their normal prices, it's just not worth it for what you're getting. I got two nice OPs in the sale for €35 and free shipping, but at normal prices I'm as well to just buy second hand brand or whatever else.

>>8645698
Man, I love this piece, but it seems like all of bodyline's blacks are really faded and cheap. I'd love to get this dress in beige at the next sale.

>>8645729
I had it in b/w, the black is actually nice and dark in person.

>>8645729
I own this dress and it looks to me like she just lightened the photo to get the dress's details to show up.

Led skirt coming

Anyone receive their AIR packages from the birthday sale? My tracking hasn't updated since the 20th, still says it's in Tokyo. I know this is pretty normal but I get nervous.

>>8645846
This is actually neat, would be cool for raves but I'm guessing a lot of people will get them, and I don't know if I trust BL with electronic quality control, lol

>>8645864
One of mine arrived today, the tracking still says its in Japan but it's here, no customs charge this time either (my last one got caught)

>>8645864
My package barely updated yesterday that it arrived in the US. Last update was Sept 20th before that. Idk what it is about bodyline but their AIR is the slowest of any place Ive purchased from, might as well be SAL

>>8645864
After a month, mine finally says it's in the U.S. My sister's package just got here today.

>>8646021
I should add that the box came here completely beat up and her shoes are scuffed on the sides. She doesn't care all that much but just a heads up.

>>8645864
Mine last updated on Sept 24th saying it got to LA. Hopefully it'll be here soon.

>>8645864
Mine finally updated to say it's in the country (Canada) as of Wednesday, I reckon it will be here by Monday!

Does anyone have any worn/IRL lighting photos of l087 in Brown? I was thinking about selling my black one because it's just slightly too big on me but then I saw the brown and I'm thinking about making a mistake again.

>>8645864
Mine should be out for delivery today.

Steampunk Loli bolero.

>>8645846
It's a petticoat, not a skirt.
https://vine.co/v/erhnQ3WWZwY

>>8645694
dreamV?
I got pic related for $22

>>8645694
>>8646117
and these for $33

>>8646107
that thing is fucking awesome.

>>8646117
Do have a worn pic of them? I've been looking for some black patent shoes. How's dreamV quality compared to Bodyline?

Just received the sailor jsk in Navy. The quality is pretty good. I'm trying to figure out what kind of blouse or cardigan to wear with it. Would I go into ita territory if I wore it without one?

prices just went up by about 1000 yen, did they just finish a "sale" or are they gearing up for another one?

>>8646261
God I wish this dress came in black.

>>8646282
There was a sale going on until october.

>>8646102
Is this uniform from a specific anime?

>>8645729
it's not faded at all, as the other anon said, many people just lighten the photos so the details show up. I own the jsk and it's a nice stark, true black.

>>8646261
You could try pairing it with a blouse with a standing collar. Or you could do a cropped jacket or cardigan but it would cover up the buttons down the front.

>>8646282
They just finished a sale.

>>8646285
Same, that's why I just settled for navy. I'm sure it'll grow on me once I put together a good coord for it.

>>8646261
I got it in green and I'm planning to wear it with either a cardigan or with a standing collar because I feel a typical blouse collar might look weird. I also think something with a low neckline so you just get the sleeves but nothing peeking out at the neck might work?

>>8646331
Nauticalolita a cute.

>>8646297
No clue, they added quite a bunch of new uniform stuff to replease the old ones that don't get made anymore.

>>8646331
I got the Navy for the same reason. It's just not the same but I still like it.

>>8646525
>>8646331
I wish I can grab that black sailor dress ...
I can't find in BL's site anymore...

>>8645864
Got all mine (6 total) waiting until the weekend to do a haul video. New recording equipment and such though so I'm not sure how well it'll go.

I wish they'd make their uniform skirts knee length.

>>8646580
They have a seifuku with long skirt in the men's section and it just looks plain retarded.

>>8646628
it's sukeban, newfag

>>8646107
>>8645846
Looks like Yanners is trying to get money out of Love Live cosplayers now since I'm 95% certain that's what made LED petticoats/skirts suddenly popular.

Can't imagine the price tag for it though.

>Order dress from Bodyline
>Arrives Wednesday
>Not home, so they leave a slip to come get it at the post office
>Stop by on Thursday and pick it up
>Wake up today on Friday
>There's another slip
>Tracking number is for my Bodyline order
>The dress is already in my closet
USPS tried to deliver my dress twice

Just received my gakuran yesterday, it's actually nicer than what I was expecting. My only problem was the buttons which were either loose, scratched, or completely different. It's not too bad to replace the buttons though I guess.

>>8646245
My phone is fuck up but here is a stock photo. In my experience I preffer dreamV shoes, quality is a bit better (my last Bodyline shoes's strap fell off after one use)

>>8646633
Not newfag but that doesn't make the skirt shit because that's not how it is supposed to look like.

>>8646722
Nah, the LED petticoats are some brand replica.

>>8646117
>>8646120
I love those ankle ones, I've been looking for the originals for a little while now! Thanks anon, I'll check them out.

>>8647322
>LEDs and a petticoat
>replica
That's too generic to be a replica.

Might be a bust, but does anyone know any stores that sell a blouse like this for cheaper?

>>8647349
They are a replica tho and no, those specific petticoats aren't anything near generic.

>>8647360
http://www.partycity.com/product/light+up+white+tutu.do?refType=&navSet=279715

man looks like party city is up on the replica game too

>>8645864
mine finally is in germany. On monday I'll see if I or costumes get it. I hope it's me.

>>8647360

Please provide the original

>>8647364
http://www.japantrends.com/hikaru-skirt-flashing-skirt-zettai-ryoiki/
Original is one of the Hikaru Skirt designs.

>>8647362
You just went full retard, those aren't anywhere similar. By your logic, lolita wigs are halloween costume wig replicas too.

>>8647382
It's not even a product yet, let alone something they could ever protect by law. Just google light up skirt and be amazed at all of the "replicas". It's a simple idea many people have made and sold.

>>8647384
...those are for sale for over a year already, just saying. Lots of japanese Vocaloid cosplayers use the under their skirts.

Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJzt0G26ZcU

>>8647384
Skirts that react to the rythm of music are totally simple and common, righto.

>>8646117
>>8646120
But what about shipping prices and such?

I got my BL order from the sale, finally. I sold off all my bodyline dresses/skirts a while back, but I bought the cinderella bunny skirt because it was $20. I feel mildly disappointed at it when looking up close, the colors are so fucking neon and the print is big and blotchy. The fabric is soft, but it doesn't lay flat and gets kind of lumpy. But far away it looks pretty cute. I'm considering trying to lighten it? Is that a thing?
The rose wristcuffs are so good though, 10/10 worth $4

>>8647386
The "replicas" don't have the features that make the "brand" skirt unique (lights that change with music, USB charging) so I don't think they count as actual knock-offs. Just a similar idea at a cheaper price. It's not the most unique concept in the world.

>>8647395
The Bodyline ones actually do react to the beat of music too.

>>8645846
Normal image of those would be pic related, the one with the lights was made in the dark.

They seem to add a lots of pettis btw, prolly as replacement of the ones that were at the "discontinued" sale.

"【重要なお知らせ】
クリアランスセール開催中!人気アイテム最大99%OFF!!"
Clearance sale or something.

>>8647398
This just isn't a very unique concept and doesn't seem worth getting upset over. Buy the brand ones if you want but don't be surprised when people don't want to shell out for lights in a skirt.

>>8647424
I only mentioned it because some anon claimed those were made due to Love Live which they are not.

>>8647430
>claimed those were made due to Love Live
Actually anon said
>that's what made LED petticoats/skirts suddenly popular

>>8647350
Are you kidding? Bodyline is the cheapest you get.

>>8647447
It is the other way around, they first were popular with actual idol groups like tons of other illuminated pieces. It's not like the outfits in Love Live! were original to begin with.

>>8646500
Another Kancolle cosplay. It should be Akatsuki Class uniform I think.

>>8647382
party city and BL probably both bought their light up skirts from chinese factories who both mass produce this garbage for retailers to mark up

>>8647795
Don't think so as the BL ones are a direct Hikari Skirt replica that does react to bass? according to the description (hence the price), the Party City wigs are only petticoats wid LED wire.

>>8647318
Those giant bows are hideous...

>>8647350
Are you looking for lavendar? I have a similar blouse that I was thinking of selling but it isn't as decorated as that one

>>8647843
why are you so hesitant to admit that ravewear like this existed before your crappy moebait anime

>>8647940
Yeah, specifically lavender, could I see a pic of the blouse?

>>8647387
...they are? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic

>>8646543
The sailor OP from 2010? That's been off the site for a while.

>>8648065
Check back in the next couple of days and I'll post a pic, unless you have a throwaway email I can send it to.

I'm currently moving and all of my things are still in boxes that I have to unpack

>>8647398
Where did you hear that? I'd totally buy one if it beat to music, that's awesome.

I'm still waiting on my order from the sale but I'm expecting them hopefully tomorrow. Sad I didn't have it for my meetup but I'll survive. Does anyone want a review of anything once it's here?
I got L418, L348, Hat192, Acc1078, Acc1040 Shoes260, Shoes137, S520, S526, S527, Eye518, Eye521, W051, W063, W123 and W118

>>8650642
Holy shit just make a collage next time.

No one is going to look at that jumble of letters and numbers

>>8650644
Thought I'd attached it here but I guess I dropped my pic woops but if people (like me) just do a ctrl+f search they're not going to find an item in a collage.

>>8648994
It's in the product description, just like they also wrote there that the black and white ones are also the only ones with changing rainbow colors.

>>8647964
Uh, I am not the Love Live! anon and Hikari Skirt has nothing to do with anime.

>order wig during sale
>everything ships
>four days after yan says the refunds have been issued get a refund for wig
>get package
>says my wig is in there along with the price of the wig
>no wig
>get a consolation wig stand
Tf am I supposed to do with a wig stand and no wig yandy man????

Also I'm glad I'm in the U.S. because I would have been pissed to have to pay customs on an item I didn't get.

>>8648547
Dropped my email for you!

Got some items from the sale in the mail today~

>>8645864
My packages just came in today.

>>8650698
Could you review the wristcuffs, please? Been meaning to get ones but I dunno if the quality is any good and which ones to go for. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have the L579 worn? I asked this in the good bodyline coords but I havent had a response yet

>>8651739

>>8651756

>>8651758

>>8651696
No problem!

AIR order from the sale finally came in yesterday! really happy with everything so far, though never having gotten any of BL's print pieces before I was a little disappointed by how un-full the magical cosmetics skirt was at first

Just got the rest of my order today. Pretty excited about it!

Everyone please keep posting your orders and reviewing the items as they come in? My package is taking forever, and your posts are all that is sustaining me while I wait.

>>8653154
Lol same here, anon. Ordered mine a little over a month ago.

>>8653154
Same. Mine has been stuck in origin post preparing shipment mode since the 20th of september. I didn't even order much.

>>8653167
Same here! None of my orders have ever taken this long and without being able to track I'm getting really nervous

>>8653338
This is happening for me too! Not sure where to go from here

>>8653429
Ahaha mine literally just arrived while I was whining about this actually so I'm sure you'll get yours soon!

>>8651696
Acc1040 is my favourite - flowers are much nicer than I had expected. There's a little sheen to the ribbon but no cheap shine. The lace is normal bodyline quality - a little shiny and not the softest but not scratchy either.
Acc1078 isn't as nice - the lace is quite stiff but not scratchy. They'll look fine but I don't love them. On the pink pair every piece is a different shade of pink. The base lace is somewhere between bodyline's pink and dark pink shoes, the bow is close to their regular pink shoes and the pearls are quite peachy - I'll probably cut them off tbh. On the black pair it's just normal beads, not pearls. Overall I would recommend acc1040 over acc1078

>>8650698
Review of the wig on the top right?

>>8653471
Thank you so much! I had my eyes on the Acc1040 in black, I think now it's pretty much settled, they look pretty cute.

>>8653481
I got it in pink brown and I love it. I'll probably wear it today so I'll update with a worn photo once I'm not wearing pyjamas but first impression is it's beautiful, the colour is lovely and it seems really nice and thick!

>>8653508
pinkbrown4 to be exact, sorry!
>>8653504
they're so much nicer than I was expecting! I wish I'd got these in black instead of 1078

>>8653471
jesus christ what is resizing your pictures

>>8653575
Uploaded straight from my phone, sorry

>>8653481
My bathroom lighting makes everything look really purple - sorry! It's a really pretty milk tea colour in real life and not as shiny in natural light. I's very thick and looks quite natural. The curls aren't as uniform as in the stock photo which I prefer but for some that could be a disappointment. My only problem is that the fringe is really wide and blunt. It doesn't taper into a longer cut at the sides at all and makes my face look wider than it is. In the picture I've pinned the sides of the fringe underneath the main long parts but it's still not perfect. I can deal with it but I would prefer if it tapered a bit.

>>8653711
Landwhale

>>8653719
Jesus do we have to be so salty all the time? She made a collage for your dumb asses and then even bothered to take a picture and review it. Chill out.

I ordered the unicorn print in mint during the sale, and it just came in today. The print is STILL reversed even though when I asked the FB page, they said it was fixed. I'm going to try my hand at a dispute to get a partial refund. I know it's Bodyline but it's still pretty shady.

>>8653719
Projecting

>>8653719
What I look like really isn't relevant when we're just looking at the wig, there's no need to be rude.

>>8653767
That's such a shame. I was looking at picking it up and decided against it for that reason. If it makes you feel better a girl at our meet on Sunday was wearing it and I didn't even notice the writing until I was like actually looking for it to see if it was backwards. Unless someone is really examining your dress you'll get away with it.

My order came in yesterday, costume452 in yellow. I'm actually pleasantly surprised at it. My only gripe is that the smallest size offered is a medium, which is still really roomy.

>>8653913
Is the apron removable? If so, what does the dress look like without it? The yellow is super cute, but I hate aprons.

>>8653931
my maid cafe has the dress aka I wore it, the apron is removable and it's just a solid color dress underneath!

>>8645864
Mine came yesterday, finally. I was starting to think customs had kept it lol.

After seeing the stuff, I don't know if I'd ever pay full price, but it was very good for what I paid in the sale

>>8650698
Review shoes please

>>8654018
Pic related, sorry it dropped. Sage for doublepost
Part of me loves this headpiece and part of me thinks it's the tackiest thing ever!

You guys know about this right?
It applies to bodyline too, right?? Because a lot of the stuff I want is on their rakuten site only.

>>8654024
These are much lighter than my other BL pink shoes, in this picture they almost look white but they're just a soft pink. I need a heel guard for these and they're a huge pain in the butt to get on and off because of the lace up design. They're really cute though and standard BL quality. Because of the lace up design they can accommodate a higher arch with ease and I imagine a wide foot as well. True to size as far as I can tell. The lacing is little hard to pull through the eyelets (it doesn't slide through, it kind of grips is the best way I can describe it.) The bows are well secured.

>>8654161
These are the typical gold colour of the other BL gold shoes. They fit quite snug, I would maybe have gone up a size but I think with a bit of wear they'll stretch out and be comfortable. The buckles are not real, they just clip down with a snap clip. The scallops around the sides have hearts cut out and they are all nice and cleanly done. The hearts on the side of the heels are cute and sewn on neatly and securely, the bows are also well secured and the ones on the straps are not movable. If you need to make the straps any tighter than what the original three buckle holes allow you may be in a bit of trouble because of those bows. I have a high arch and I need to punch another hole in the end of the strap, I imagine wide feet would have the same problem. This is the same on all of these shoes and it's been my experience with all BL shoes in general, just take them to a cobbler or you can stick a hole in with a safety pin but it's kind of hard, definitely doable though. These and the pink ones came with a strong spray paint kind of smell that I'm sure will go away with time, it's not strong enough that you'll smell it while wearing them though, only if you're like sniffing your shoes and let's be honest how often are you doing that.

>>8654169
These run true to size and are nice and comfortable, the buckles over the foot are real buckles and the one around the ankle is one of those weird like hook type they sometimes use. They feel nice and sturdy and are comfortable and easy to walk in. They're very glossy so go with the matte version if you're not keen on that. Definitely need to add holes to the front two straps of these though, they're quite short.

>>8654175
These are the most comfortable of all of these shoes. They're not too heavy despite the look. The buckles on these are a snap on style. They kind of smell like a rubber stamp? It's nowhere near as strong as the smell of the pink and gold pairs, very faint. The strap on these is the longest out of all of them. They're nice and easy to walk in and look cute. I like these the most out of all the ones I ordered and might order them in the other colours too at some stage.

>>8653719
How old are you, 12? She is being helpful. When some women rings you up at a retail store do you whisper cunt when you leave? Christ.

>>8654182
The pompoms on these are really really soft and are attached with a piece of elastic. You can take these off entirely or put them on any of the other straps. I think I read once that they're rabbit fur but I'm not sure about that, but if that's something you're worried about maybe just don't risk it? The buckles are heart shaped (so are the ones on the gold ones, forgot to mention sorry) and are snap on. They're very very short on the front two.all the heart shaped cut outs around the scalloped edges are nice and clean. The bows on the straps aresecured down and are not movable. You can remove the ankle strap on these and the shiny pair if you want. Maybe go up a size? They're a little bit tight on me.
I got these all in 24.5 and wear an AUS 8.5-9 for reference.

>>8654141
I know that you can add things from Rakuten to a order from the Bodyline website if you Email them and ask. Done that before with things that weren't in stock on the website but were in stock on Rakuten.

>>8654191
Just as a word of advice on my experience of these shoes, I have them in a different colour and I scuffed them badly to the point of removing a little of the paint on the first time really wearing them. It may have been a bad coincidence on my part, but none of my other bodyline shoes were that bad on that front. So, the moral of my story is to be careful with these. They're super cute though.

>>8654206
Thanks for the tip! I'll try to be careful with them, I always seem to scuff my shoes like straight away. Hopefully because they're black they'll be easy to patch up with a marker or something.

>>8654141
You akways could order from Rakuten worldwide with a credit card, nothing new.

>>8654200
Oh thanks!

>>8654215
I'm sure but I've read several times in the past that if you tried this with the bodyline rakuten site, they'd just cancel your order. Someone even suggested SS to use for their rakuten site. I haven't had a chance to do that yet, but then I saw this which is why I asked.

>>8646471
Potato pics since I had to try and take these photos myself.
Posting to show what the sailor dress is like with a low cut blouse and just sleeves showing.
The peeking bloomers were just me trying out different looks when I first got the dress haha.

Pic on the left is the mami cosplay I picked up in the sale, I'm really impressed with the corset and the shirt fabric is thick and good quality too.

>>8654213
No problem! Yeah that's what I would do. I haven't got around to it yet, but I assume that permanent marker and scrubbing the scuff marks off will make them presentable again.

>>8654255
wtf is that wig though

>>8654262
Hope it works out well for you!

>>8653719

Just got this in black and offwhite, both 2L. I'm a size 12 and there's oodles of room. Honestly wish I'd gotten it in an M because the shirring on the 2L is incredibly stretchy, could probs go past 115cm easy. Also the white one has a tiny stain on one of the ruffles. Not exactly the end of the world but eh.

>>8654191
Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate it. I wanted to order shoes in the sale but all the ones I wanted were sold out in my size

>>8654702
No problem! Hope they're helpful
That sucks. I got really lucky and all the ones I wanted were still there, I thought I would be out of luck

>>8654577
Well shirring isn't really supposed to stretch too much - it looks bad. It being a bit loose on you is the intended appearance.

Finally recieved the mail about my order hitting customs, going on friday I think.
I can review something if you like, but I got kinda normal things that already have a review.

Is it normal for my tracking to still say it's in Tokyo? Or should it be showing up in the US by now? It's said it's been in Tokyo since September 20th, and I'm starting to get nervous.

>>8655259
I've had tracking not update within my country until the package was on my doorstep a couple times now.

>>8655259
I'm in the same boat. I sent them to a friends house because I was moving and she got her package but not mine. I was hoping to have them for NYCC too. Guess not.

>>8653066
what skirt is the one on the upper right? also could you review it please?

Ordered on the 24th and got it today (Germany), color me impressed Bodyline.

Most of the shoes are sold out in decent sizes, plz restock and not ugly ones

>>8655287
not even that anon but how new are you? that's L325, literally the first skirt you see on the bl site and more or less known as the best quality skirt they've put out

>>8656076
sorry, I noticed it this morning when I checked on their site, it was very late when I asked. I can see it is annoying when someone asks something so stupid, but I dont think anyone needs to be so bitchy when it happens. Thanks anyways

Gahhh I think my package got hit by customs.. It's finally updated that it's in the UK but the last time it stayed in Heathrow for a week, maybe I'll get lucky and it'll pass through but I doubt it

>>8646117
>>8646120
>dreamv shoes only go up to 24.5cm
>i have a 25cm foot
hold me anons

>>8656220
sorry anon! was late here too, i think it came out saltier than it was meant to. i'm actually legit curious to know if you're new or not, or maybe just new to bodyline? i couldn't take two steps into the fashion when i started without seeing it coorded or talked about, it was a pretty staple piece at the time. is it not that prevalent anymore maybe? i almost feel like the sailor jsk has taken its place now

>>8656256
>we can hold each other
>25.25 foot

>>8656284
i will never be able to wear tokyo bopper shoes because they only come in tiny sizes
and the worst part about large feet is it's something you can't change like weight, or compensate for with underskirts like height.
anyways that's why i stick to bodyline for shoes, they come in large sizes

>>8656268
its ok! I've seen it coorded more than a couple of times, but I never asked for info because I became interested in getting it only very recently, I was thinking of starting to dip my feet in the fashion now that I have a bit of money saved

>>8656256
>>8656284
I've never bought shoes from a japanese brand. would a 24.5 fit US 8 typically, or do you normally have to go up .5cm to ensure they fit

>>8656372
You should be fine in most styles, if you're not sure look for reviews.

>>8656372
I wear a US 7-7.5, and wear between 24.0-24.5. I would recommend going for the 25.0 first.

>>8656372
measure your feet.....i'm right around 24.5 cm (US 8 or 7.5 depending on the brand) and fit fine in the bodyline 245 size. if you want the RH shoes you need to size up though,

Anyone knows since when the pleats of seifuku set skirts are sewn together? It was annoying as fuck to remove that, single skirts do not seem to have that.

>>8658007
As far as I know they've always been sewn together to keep the pleats intact during shipping.

>>8658007
What >>8658015 said. Unless they're the cheap ones, they're sewn to keep the pleats together.

>>8645846

Fellow Canadanon, were you able to get your tracking to work? I know that the Japanese website will only track it until it leaves Japan, but after that I couldn't track it with Canada Post. It just told me that tracking as not a feature of the international parcel.

It arrived OK and everything (on Tuesday) but I was wondering if anyone had the same problem. It was making me nervous the entire time.

>>8658044
>>8658015
>>8658007
they've always been
though I've bought like 6 skirts and I completely forgot and left the house without unpicking mine and had to spend 20 minutes in the toilets fixing my shame today.

>>8658098
Not the anon you were asking, but that is correct. Canada post does not do tracking at all on international packages. I used the tracking website on bodyline and it updates to let me know when it's in Canada and in customs, but not out for delivery.

>>8658098
weirdly enough it actually updated to say it arrived in vancouver, which I really wasnt expecting. maybe japan post confirms the tracking when it arrives even though canada post refuses to? idk

>>8658007
basting pleats or pockets together is common even with normie clothes. it allows them to be pressed after manufacture to ensure a crisp seam

>>8658551
>>8658098
or maybe someone at the post office isn't up to date with the new protocols, who knows. i have an FJ order coming in via ems next week too, i'll let you know what the tracking situation ends up like for that one

>>8656284
I wear a size 275. They only have like 2 shoes in my size. Only in brown, red, black. Colors I don't need.
>cries tears of jealousy for your average western sized feet

Somewhat on-topic, saw this OP on lacemarket and I was wondering if folks thought it was totally ita or worth buying? It's really cheap but I don't want to buy it, say "ew" and have to unload it. I'm a newbie and trying to pad out my wardrobe a lil, there are other blackxwhite dresses that are nicer but will cost a little more that I am considering.

>>8658015
>>8658044
>>8658111
They haven't, I have bought the same pastel set in a different color before, like 2 years ago, and it didn't have that which can also be seen in plenty unboxing vids.

Angel cat girl?

>>8658823
That shoop makes it look as though her jaw is broken

>>8658732
I personally think it's cute. Just be careful how you coord it because it's easy to make bxw look off. I say get it and look at good black and white coords for inspiration

>>8658732
in the yester years of lolita people probably wouldnt cared. i think this dress would be ita today, i wouldnt buy
it, if i were you

>>8658732

Rip the gingham patches off, you should be good to go. Unfortunately you don't know what's underneath them, could be the lace stops and starts again with a gap in between, in which case you're fucked.

Are they ever going to restock any teaparties? You think they'd keep them stocked since they're a staple item.

>>8658869
They are going to restock everything that wasn't part of the clearance sale where they reduced everything they don't manufacture anymore.

>>8658732
I like it a bit, but I'm obsessed with classic. Seems like everyone is more focused on sweet and Gothic right now, so you might look out of place and ita because of that

>>8658732
I think it's cute. I've seen some cute coords with this dress before.

>>8658909
>classic
I think you mean oldschool, anon.

>>8658823
How come this girl apparently gets shooped, but none of the other models ever have (beyond the usual lighting tweaks and whatnot)?

>>8658732
I don't think it's 'ita' in itself, just stick to simple oldschool staples and you should be good (avoid going too fancy). Think white lace knee socks, chunky black shoes and a black lolita bag. I'd probably avoid a black x white headdress in this case and go for white or black instead, black hairbow could be cute too.

>>8645704
But secondhand brand at those sorts of prices is rarely anything particularly special or nice even on closetchild. I'd rather be a cheapass and only splash out on coveted prints.

Loving the accessory section right now

>>8659222
I dunno anon, it depends of your tastes of course but yahoo Japan can be amazing for bargains if you keep an eye out and look past the often poor quality seller images I've picked up really nice brand jsks and OPs on there for around the 1500-2500 yen mark. With cheap shipping and fees included, I have been able to get stuff all in for as little as 3000. Obviously it's not the rare or super desirable stuff, but still items arguably nicer than a lot of bodyline (pic related).

I still still have a bunch of bodyline items though, their headdresses are nice and I like their jsks and Ops for wearing to clubs etc. Plus buying shoes from them often still works out as the cheapest option if you want typically lolita styled shoes.

>>8659203
Because she is their recent model and they didn't start proper editing before her.

>>8658189
>>8658551
>>8658556
My confusion stems from the fact that they used to. I've made a handful of Bodyline orders and I was able to track them via Canada Post, so idk. I've also never had a problem with tracking EMS (and with EMS, unlike regular mail, they always ask me for a signature and bring it right to my apartment door as opposed to shoving it in the mailbox or having me pick it up at the post office later).

>>8659292
They only changed it recently, I think maybe a month or 2 ago. I think it's ridiculous.

>>8659272
I thought she existed for the same time as Venus for a while but Venus didn't get the shoop treatment?

Whats the general opinion on l217? Is it ita, or acceptable for bodyline standards?

>>8659470
if you're busty, it's not going to look good, even if it fits. I'd suggest only going for it if you're relatively flat.

>>8659470
I think the cardigan is such an awkward length compared to the skirt. I would not wear them together

>>8659514
Good news is that I'm flat chested

>>8659470
in theory you'll be fine, but realistically you'll look like you have bows on your nipples.

>>8659470
I think it's fugly
You have so much more tto choose from than this

>>8659470
It's really cute in a borderline cosplay looking way. As much as I like the idea of 'doing what feels right' or whatever, I must admit I think it would be best suited to skinny, young looking girls with a cute face rather than mature looking face.

>>8659470
Not cute at all, looks cheap and tacky regardless of what body type you are

Maybe it's just me, but why do Bodyline packages always arrive so goddamn beat up? Never experienced this problem with any other shipments from Japan... it's only Bodyline.

>>8645846
>>8647401
Any idea when it'll be available on their English site or am I just blind?

>>8646261
I tried mine out with a couple different shortsleeve blouses- a chiffon standing collar with puff sleeves, and a cotton low neck with puff sleeves. Both looked weird IMO, so I just wore it with a cardigan tucked under the sailor collar. I think it looked much cuter that way.

I think >>8654255 blouse looks cute with it, though. Maybe longer sleeves is the way to go with these.

My package from the sale still hasn't arrived. At what point do I start getting worried?

Is a halloween sale to be expected on the website or is it too early to think of another sale? I missed the last one..

>>8662387
The halloween sale is already running for a while.

>>8659292
okay.... >>8658556 here, the tracking number for my FJ order shipped by EMS also updated a couple times once in the country/city despite the new "no intl tracking" thing. I really dont understand this new system at all

>>8662503
Isn't that on rakuten only? I asked on their website, I can't find anything about a sale there, unless I'm just blind

>>8653931
Hey anon, here's some pictures of it with and without the apron. It's kind of a sack without the apron to tie it in at the waist, so you should probably be prepared to take the dress in or turn the apron into a belt.

Also the yellow is way more saturated in real life, but I had expected as much, haha.

My bl black headdress and white OTK socks arrived just today after more than 40 days ugh. I love it, it looks way better than big ass bows but headdress are a bit hard to make it work on shorter hair like mine.
BL has good quality headdresses, socks and shoes, about clothing i was always disappointed. Not sure about wrist cuffs, they look not bad for the price.

My BL sale items arrived yesterday to Australia. Just updating in case anyone else is also waiting.
I ordered the cameo OP, which is really nice fabric, not as polyestery as other bodyline items, and the detailing is lovely, the heeled oxfords, which are really comfortable despite the fact that I don't usually wear heels, and the high waisted prince shorts, which do not fit my womanly hips. Overall, I am satisfy.

... Does anyone have any experience with Bodyline formatting their address incorrectly? This is how they did it:

Lastname, Firstname
Zipcode, Country, State, City
Street address

I just noticed this on the receipt email they sent and I'm baffled. I have not received my package and I'm not sure what I should do. I'm a little concerned that it will get sent back and they will just refund the money. I'd prefer to just have my package since I went through the trouble of waiting until the items were on sale.

>>8664620
That's how addresses are written in Japan I believe so that's how they format it. They've always done it like that as far as I'm aware and it's never caused any issues for me

Is anyone else having trouble adding stuff to their cart?

>>8662919
The prices are already decreased.

>>8651763
That bow tying is so damn crisp

>>8653767
Update from the Unicorn anon. Bodyline refunded me 30 yen. You read right. I asked for $30, and I got 30 yen. The case is now closed on PP. When I entered $30, it would not let me add the $ sign. This is bullshit customer service on Paypal's part.

>>8666630
>30 yen
>a quarter
I'm sorry but this is top kek

>>8654577
Does it look bad if worn wit a skirt? I have a 103cm bust and I'm worried the shirring will look awful.

>>8666915
My bust is 106 and it looks fine. No gaps at the buttons, no boob loaf, my chest barely makes the shirring stretch at all. The bottom portion is really wide so it wouldn't stuff well into a skirt, it would have to lay on top.

Opened my packages today. Ordered 6 pairs of shoes and 5 of them had yellow mold all over them. With what research I could manage it seems like a pretty bad mold type as well... I'm kind of pisses but also glad I don't have mold allergies.

>>8667020
Pics?

>>8666630

>>8659470
here's a picture of a girl wearing it, deciede for yourself (but i would say hell no)

>>8667331
i hate the beret but this is pretty cute

>>8667337
The beret is the only cute thing about it.

>>8667337
i think it looks like some kind of weird uniform

>>8659470
I own it in sax and I love it unironically. It fits me well, though the other anons are right in saying that you shouldn't have a big bust if you want to buy it.

This review of it pretty much sums up my feelings:
http://egl.livejournal.com/17947280.html?nojs=1

Also the bolero can actually look cute when mix and matched with other items, but in general it looks best with old school styled clothing (think old school sweet that's not bxw)

>>8667339
it looks like a dinner plate

>>8667341
Because it is supposed to be a ~somewhat~ replica of some pieces of AP's Angelic School series who had fucking plush cat ears everywhere, pic related.

I have a bodyline noob question, so sorry in advance if it triggers someone
Does anyone have the rocking horse shoes (i cant remember the code)? How comfortable are them? Are they sturdy? and how do I find out what size to order?

>>8667555
Get some arch support inserts if you buy them, they're fairly stable although like all high platforms, walking on cobblestone and high pile carpet is hell. Order half a size up, they run narrow

>>8667555
They run small so size up. If you've never worn rocking horse shoes before, you're going to feel weird trying to balance yourself on them. The "wood" is just rubber so they're not the most sturdy, but they hold up fine when not worn 24/7.

>>8667560
>>8667561
thank you!

>>8650742
Same thing happened to me but it was with pic related. I'm so mad.

Censored just in case.

How long should I wait before assuming my package is lost and contacting Bodyline? I live in the US and my package from the sale still hasn't arrived. My tracking never updated past Tokyo, but I've heard a lot of people had that issue?

I bought this secondhand a few weeks ago in blue, and I really love it.

>>8673170
Blue? That dress exists in blue color?

>>8659013
Wrong again. It's sweet. Could be worn as old school sweet but old school is not a style by iteself.

Has anyone bought one of Bodyline's santa / christmas outfits before? I was thinking of getting one but it's hard to see what the material quality is like, and reviews for them are hard to find.

>>8673271
>black
>sweet

>>8673294
Is this bait? Just because it's black doesn't mean it's not sweet anon..

For those of you pining for the dress in >>8645696, it's on sale on Lacemarket in a size 2L.
lacemarket.us/bodily-black-jsk-p273/
>You buy used Bodyline?
It's cheap and I usually don't have to worry about overseas shipping. Poorfags gonna poor, might as well be smart about it.

>>8658732
>>8658909
>>8659013
>>8673271
>>8673294
Sweet or old school, it's certainly not classic. I agree that it's old school; the dress was clearly designed before sweet got popular and lots of old school dresses are the old black/white combo. And yes it's ita by today's standards.
>>8673275
Just looking at the photos, it looks like cheap stretch velvet. See how it has those weird highlights along the top of the gathers? The hoods aren't even lined either. I wouldn't do it anon.

>>8673326
look again friend, that dress is not the same as this one. >>8645696

>>8673333
Good old late-night blindness. Time for bed.

>>8673240

Brain fart. I meant mint.

>>8658832
>>8673330
That dress is nowhere ita as thae dress has nowhere the bad quality of the typical lacemonsters, you guys sound new as fuck.

Any UK gull that can please tell me the average waiting time to get a BL package? How about customs?
I just ordered my first (and probably last) Bodyline dress and I'm getting a bit scared with all the stories of packages taking ages and things arriving with mold and such. Also was my first time ordering through the new website and I noticed the tax thing and that we can no longer choose to have the order marked down (or did I miss that)..? Not sure I'm regretting it now...

>>8658909
ita doesn't mean out-of-fashion.

>>8673275
They are nice but hard to make look good as casual wear due to the colors.

>>8673474
Something doesn't have to be a total monstrosity to be ita.
>weird frilly out of place sailor collar
>awkward sleeve embellishments
>ugly gingham hearts
There's a reason it's being sold for cheap.

Just popping in to say that I made an order after their 50% sale and it arrived today. I don't know if that means anything to those of you who made orders during the sale and still haven't gotten them.

>>8673800
oh jeez. Now I'm worried about mine. It hasn't been the full 40 days since mine shipped, but it's getting close.

>>8673748
See
>>8673562
You sound salty, it's one of their oldest dresses from way back in 2007 where it was made as replica of pic related, of course it would be cheaper as old school sweet sailor in comparison to print dresses.

>>8674040

>>8667337
>>8667339
>>8667432
Have the beret (but not the rest of the set) and can confirm it's a dinner plate IRL. If you have a big head or wig you might be able to pull it off, my head's tiny.

>>8667071
sorry about the delay anon. I took photos with my DSLR and then promptly started cleaning them.

>>8674040
It's not even a good replica, the original dresses weren't tacky as shit. The blue and pink are passable but the black is ugly af. Stay mad.

Is anyone else still waiting on their package from the birthday sale?

Mine has had "origin preparing" since September 27th.

At what point should I deem this concerning and email Yanners?

>>8658588
You and me, anon. Size 265 here. I can't fit into any actually cute shoes either!

>>8676051
Mr Yan does shit all in terms of lost packages/any customer service. Open a dispute if it doesn't update soon.

>>8673294
lol

>>8673330
Again, it is old school sweet. Old school is not a style on its own. No old school OR sweet about it. Jesus. What do you people think we called things before they were old school?

>>8674040
I think you're very confused, they barely look alike. It's no doubt a replica but not of that.

>>8658732
Just because somethings black and white doesn't make ita, i don't even think the pockets look bad.

>>8676024
>cheap cosplay plush cat ears and tails everywhere
>not tacky

Anyone has this Sailor Moon cosplay? I'm considering about buying but I'd like to know some opinions/reviews. Ty!

>>8653719
Shut the fuck up, sandyvag.

>>8653719
obviously, why do you think she -has- to buy bodyline?

does bodyline not show sizes on their items anymore???

>>8645686
Why does Mr. Yankees have a bigger right eye? Why doesn't he get it fixed. As lonely as he is, his search for a mate would go easier if he just got Korean-style plastic surgery

>>8685192
I hate people like you. Do you have no patience? If you just looked at the item page you would notice the measurements are under the pictures now, above the reviews.

When will they restock their fucking rocking horse shoes

When will they restock their fucking winter coats

>>8685518
>>8685526
never

>>8659470
I have it, the material is nice and warm, with soft lace. I only ever wear the skirt, though - I have it in brown, and I tend to use the four detachable bows to add a little of the colour to a blouse or capelet, instead of using the fugly cardigan.

>>8673556
Takes about a month, anon. They mark things down to 1/4 automatically, so you should be alright on customs.

>>8685526
They recently did on their Rakuten but they were quickly sold out again in certain colors so it never made it to their international site.

>>8688851
I'm mad
Winter will end and the damn coats won't ever have been restocked

..how is bodylines sailormoon wig?

Is bodyline losing popularity?

So /cgl/ my package was mislabeled by bodyline and is being sent to the wrong zipcode. The usps refuses to change the address unless the sender makes this change. How fucked am I? Will I be able to contact bodyline?

>>8689748
Yeah pretty much. It's main function within the community was as a Walmart-esque shop where you could pick up a few wardrobe fillers, some cheap dresses for casual wear, and while their stuff is sometimes really awful, you could realistically build the bulk of a wardrobe from the good stuff they sell if you couldn't afford brand.

When I was started out about six years ago, you could get a pretty nice jsk from Bodyline for about 2500-3500 yen. Nowadays their dress prices are mostly anything from 4000 to 8000 yen, while their quality has stayed very much the same, maybe with more backwards prints to speak of.

On any given day when Closetchild updates, you can pick up a great condition AP jsk for as low as 6800. When second hand brand is that cheap, it's worth buying instead of a Bodyline dress. A few years ago it made sense when the second hand market wasn't as accessible or plentiful, and you could buy five or six bodyline dresses for the price of one brand dress, but that is rarely the case anymore.

TL;DR, you bet.
