Shit, really? I just thought we buyers would have to cough up the fees to the postal office/customs like we always did with goods over 22 euros.

That would fucking suck. But I guess it's not surprising. Tons of people won't know about this change and will refuse their cheap ali packages when they are told they have to pay the tax and the declaration fee. They probably want to avoid that hassle.

Sellers who have like warehouses in EU like Aliexpress need to do the IOSS. But for those that do not it becomes the burden of the buyer. My local post has a notification on their website with the info, they just say that as soon as it arrives they will send a payment request for the item.
I do fear that now they have to charge everything, our post office is going to fuck up big time with exchange rates. I can see them read JPY as USD in their stress over the big amount of parcels they have to charge.

Items normally go up 10AM Monday, Japan time. Ordering from them didn't used to be a pain but ever since Covid they've been really annoying to order from, you can see they have notices plastered up all over the site about shipping and payment.

If you're in the US, they haven't been shipping here because they've still refused to ship by any method other than EMS. EMS to the US is supposedly returning starting Monday, but I don't know if they'll resume shipping right away or not. You might want to email them and ask to confirm because Japan Post is expecting tons of delays with the rush of mail.

Luckypacks usually sell fairly quickly though, so you do definitely want to get your order in pretty quickly after they go up.

That said, there is a review of this same LP dress (the winter version) in the previous classic thread that was not favorable. You might want to check it out if you're looking to buy this.

I need an opinion. I got back into wearing and buying Lolita last year, after nearly a decade of just being out of it. (Lord of being poor/young problems.) Since then, I’ve bought plenty of brand and sold off the collection of Bodyline that made up most of my collection prior.
But every time I see some Bodyline stuff for sale, I instantly get in my mind that it’s cute and I should try it again. Is it worth it? (Follow up question: What are your favorite Bodyline main pieces and how do you handle them and not make them feel ita as hell? I keep looking at these old pieces I had and cringing.)

I’m kind of mad that this doesn’t come in solid black or white. It’s got a cute design but the way the colors match up makes me uncomfortable (despite liking all of the colors individually.)

[Anonymous No.10624397]

>>10624377
I only ever bought two things from bodyline because I found egl comm sales cheaper, but other than the boots that crumbled apart when I looked at them funny, I got a pretty sturdy skirt for them I still wear with my burando without looking out of place. But it was also a single color, with no lace, but lots of ruffles. The details are mostly pintucks, embroidery, and layering. It's kind of hard to fuck up with a piece like that. I'm sure if I'd gotten a printed piece or one with lace, I would have passed it along a while ago.

I think what tossed me off so much about the items I had is that the pieces I wanted to keep were a little too small now (it has been 10 years or so), so I sold them. But what I was left with were actually popular items from Bodyline, and they were just... So difficult to coordinate without it looking tacky. Every example photo I got of “good” coordinates were still off. I wonder if I was spoiled by brand so quickly, but I still loved the solids I had. I tried buying fitting solids and they all wound up tacky. I hate that I can’t enjoy something so simple anymore.

If you can go into it being totally fine with not being able to resell it for much I think it's just fine to use it to fill out your wardrobe, but burando is a much better investment and will likely grow with your style more. Tbh I think every serious lolita outgrows bodyline main pieces, and most outgrow their accessories/blouses. TaoBao has so much variety these days, and better quality so that's where I'd advise you to drop your throwaway cash.

I feel like this is relevant everyday with people who complaining about brands needing plus sized options, but when people mention things like meta, it's clear they only care about AP. (which they probably have no intention of buying anyway, even if they did fit)

Ngl I love both the brands but Meta does have an advantage of a majority of their current releases being bigger sized. I was able to buy a dress for someone very close to me who had never been able to access dresses like it before because of size issues. I’m so excited for them to see it!

What I find interesting about this is that my indie brand does fully custom sizing, and we actually get a ton of support from plus-size lolitas. We're a little cheaper than AP, but not much and do quite well. I think a lot of the AP demanders aren't actually into lolita so much as screeching about whatever seems like a trendy topic and being dissatisfied with everything. Actual IRL plus-size lolitas have always been very supportive of my brand and put their money where their mouth is, so I personally can't complain.

This. When your starting out and don't want to go ham, I think BL is actually a good option. You can figure out what colors, cuts and styles are most flattering on you without spending $$$. At the same time, I can't think of single grown lolita who still wears BL on the regular or keeps it for anything other than a throwaway dress. TaoBao is 100% better, go look for reputable brands like Yolanda and get stuff that has a bit more longevity.

nayrt and I've never used her services before but after hearing about how shitty and slow she is while going off and doing other shit for over a year or more now I also kinda hate her and hope she shuts down her business/at minimum doesn't accept any new unsuspecting customers until she provides some sort of update or ships her customers' stuff.

I'm shocked this hasn't blown up to anything bigger honestly, considering Bellshrimp got shat on online for an address mix-up that would have been easily fixed if not for the one person it happened to get sent to, and everyone was talking about responsibility and customer service/professionalism but mintkismet has just been skirting her resonsibility she took ons tarting her own business using illness as an excuse.

Tons of us have illness and have to budget our time and energy or get help or at least tell people what is going on, not just ignore them and anything we are supposed to be doing. I have worked for myself and other people despite dealing with chronic physical illness and mental illness I couldn't afford to get treated. If the rest of us who don't have the privilege of just giving our clients a big middle finger and going off to tea parties can figure it out, she can do, whether that means getting help with her orders from friends/family or refunding people and just selling the items to try to make the money back later if she truly can't ship it right now.

She actually still is accepting orders though, which imo is irresponsible as she acknowledged she has a backlog. Literally just don't accept new orders so she can catch up. No one is saying she can't model, but she should really then quit this venture because it sounds like it's giving her more stress than it's worth.

If people actually shared true good info rather than dismiss every negative experience as vendetta we'd get a balanced account of the situation rather than just person A saying "I haven't gotten my items/any communication" and then person B saying "fuck off with your vendetta", which only gives us one side.

Take this advice with a grain of salt, but apparently front loaders are more abrasive than top loaders. Front loaders take advantage of the gravity and the force of the cycle (so tossing your clothes upwards as well), top loaders tend to only have one kind of motion which is just spinning your clothes on the bottom. This makes front loaders better for stain removal and stuff, but probably not something you want for delicates. At least that's what I was told when I was shopping for appliances.
Overall, I never had a trouble washing my lolita stuff in washers. As long as it's in cold water on low cycle, should be okay.

I wouldn't trust a dryer with lolita, because it's basically all the motion that's shaking moisture out. Just hang it somewhere sunny or dry and cool.

if you have anything with hooks though, make sure the laundry bags aren't a loose mesh or you're in for a fun time.

this discussion is interesting but idk laundry isn't that deep. just use the laundry bags, mild detergent, color catchers if it has a lot of dye, wash on cold, delicate or light cycle. hang to dry. done it for 10 years and everything is alright. glitter still present, flocking still happy. if the piece is special or you're paranoid, use dryel or something. that's it, that's laundry.

they'll probably have extras added to the store for regular purchase when the reservations arrive, but it might not be every cut/color or in small quanity. The skirt is sold out, the black colorway of both jsks is sold out, and the pink is the only colorway of headbow remaining; so if you want a pink jsk your prospects are good, but if you want a black skirt then not so much. You can use the special request form to inquire about physical-store stock after the reservations arrive, and they might dig one up for you. For example, I special-ordered a jsk once and they were able to find it for me, but the matching OTKs were entirely sold out by then.

God, Secrets are so boring these days. I remember back in the day when the secrets were shit like the girl who killed her friend's cat for fucking up her burando and pretended he ran away or some shit.

there are more psychos now than there used to be. I think being crazy as fuck is normalized now so it is not so glaringly obvious. Sad.

I’ve ordered with her heaps before, but just recently does it feel like she’s dropped the ball. And yeah I am pretty annoyed having to wait so many months just for a shipping invoice as I watch the stories of her going out for tea and cake. While simultaneously saying she is suffering while working on orders.
She definitely needs to go on break while she sorts out all these month old orders

The EU will charge tax over every order from outside the EU. So lowering the value below €22 to avoid tax won’t work anymore after the 31th of June.

Went to first couple of meets now that lockdown is over and my god, how do you guys deal with the gender specials? They’re making me want to just stay lone-lita
Like I just worry I’m gonna fuck up someones retarded pronouns and get kicked out the comm or posted online for being a fucking transphobe when they’re in a female fashion, biologically female and presenting female like what the fuck do you expect??

I agree with you to an extent but the reality is, they aren't going anywhere. You're going to either have to learn to deal with it, or make your own group of Lolitas.

It's not that hard. If you say the wrong pronoun and someone corrects you, just say "my bad," correct the sentence, then move on. Easy.

It’s not an issue of memory it’s that until a couple of years ago you didn’t need to be paranoid taking to people for fear of offending them for assuming gender by how someone looks
Made me feel uncomfortable talking to any of them, but then if I stay away from them Im sure I’ll be called out on wanting to avoid that stress
Like this a fashion that attracts attention seekers and being trans in the newest easiest way to get attention and ass pats and honestly it’s a disease, yes there are legit trans people, I’m even friends with a couple that actually present their chosen gender and aren’t cunty if you get their pronouns wrong but my god, how do you guys cope

[Anonymous No.10631711]

>>10631662
my trick: when in doubt use "they"; it's the polite way to refer to someone who's gender you're unsure of

until the person in question gets offended you assumed "they/them" are their chosen pronouns

[Anonymous No.10631764]

>>10631760
I have been doing this for years and no one has ever said or done that to me. It is the accepted standard pronoun to use when you do not know (or remember) the person's pronouns (ie "Somebody left their keys behind. I hope they remember to come back and get them.")

[Anonymous No.10631765]

>>10631764
oh no I agree and have done the same thing, however I've had this happen where I've said "they" to refer to someone and I was chewed out for basically assuming that was their identity

now I just try to refer to people by first names only

[Anonymous No.10631780]

I highly doubt that happened in real life.

No because the person running it doesn't know what the hell she is doing. She also kisses anyone's ass who have been hosting virtual events the past year.

Me! Not worried about the event itself because we can always just fuck off and go do something else. Drinking, dancing, shows, photos in nice hotels and gondolas. Have a group with me so we are excited.

I just got my blouse today from the Classical lottery in March. It came with my Kumya's Love Heart Embroidery package with my first release items. I think the shoe lottery was after that, right?

[Anonymous No.10631868]

have you ever backed out of a sale before, and why? was the seller suspicious, or the buyer someone you didn't like? maybe you were waiting for a paycheck that didn't come when you expected? did you lie to the other person about your reason why?

[Anonymous No.10631869]

>>10631780
it did idk what to tell you anon. from what I've seen offline and online, there's a growing subset of ppl that get super offended if you assume "they/them" instead of using their neopronouns or he/him she/her. basically getting upset you're lumping them in as they/them bc it's "lazy" instead of knowing their true preferences or asking first upon meeting

[Anonymous No.10631872]

>>10631869
Alright, well know that the problem isn't you. Sounds like they want real life to be like Twitter, with their bios constantly visible or something. But I still think instances like what you're describing are relatively uncommon. Can't speak for 5 years down the line though.

Are people's packages moving from Japan?

I have a large package coming in from Japan and it has been at the airport for 2 months. I am about to move so I am getting nervous. It is going to a package concierge service so I don't know how long I will be able to pick it up there after I stop paying for their service.

Why do they do this with just this one and none of the other girls? Is something wrong with her skin?

[Anonymous No.10632315]

I had someone back out of a sale they already committed to because their friend had the same dress and they tried it on to find out it didn't fit. They were kinda rude about it too. I would have given them negative feedback over that, but I didn't because they had similar taste as me and I knew it was likely they'd sell something I wanted eventually (which did end up happening).

I also backed out of buying a dress on here years ago because I realized I miscalculated my finances. I was upfront about my reason.

[Anonymous No.10632328]

>>10631868
I had a seller back out recently because it turned out their friend saw the listing and got pissed because they called dibs earlier (or that was the excuse anyway). It wasn’t even a large sale but I’m still kinda pissy about it and the temptation to leave rude/neg feedback is high.

[Anonymous No.10632332]

It was a $15 accessory and I’d rather not deal with the nuclear fallout in my inbox for leaving their first neg over something that small. If it had been a dress or something larger, then I’d raise hell.

[Anonymous No.10632434]

>>10632338
NTA but it really shouldn't matter whether an item is $15 or $300. It's up to you if you want to leave feedback, but regardless of cost, all listings should be taken equally seriously.

How often have you changed your style? For the last 3-4 years I moved from wearing mostly gothic to sweet, and now I feel like I want to sell off all my sweet dresses and dress exclusively gothic again.

[Anonymous No.10632526]

>>10632482
When I started I thought I would only wear gothic, but I fell in love and built my wardrobe around classical. In 2019 I started to tend towards oldschool and have been swapping some of the granny kei looking stuff for oldschool pieces since then. Some stuff is hard to pass on even if I don’t wear it anymore as I loved them so much back in the day.

[Anonymous No.10632540]

>>10632482
I haven't changed my wardrobe at all since I started, save for getting rid of my shitty handmade pieces that I used to pad my outfits. I'm an autist with very specific interests, so almost everything I've bought can be worn with each other. Feels good man

i was reading a few Chinese lolita articles and realized that they have no idea what classic is supposed to be. one article was close, used a chinese brand classic-sweet coord but the other was way far off, using one of AP's crazy ballgown OPs from a few years ago. the Chinese comm is strange in general.

[Anonymous No.10632799]

>>10632659
Aren’t they pretty late to the game in terms of lolita being a popular style over there? It makes sense their definition of classic would be all over the place, especially given their propensity for ott
