I believe butcher is a plain weave fabric that feels textured because the yarns are irregular. The one I was talking about is different. It looks a bit like pic related.

I usually tuck cutsews in. I am yet to see a coord with an untucked cutsew that looks nice with a skirt. They are either too long or too wide to be worn with a cupcake-shaped skirt, which creates a weird silhouette. For me the versatility comes from being able to wear a cutsew with different neckline types and not having to worry about the JSK straps ending up on the lace details (Colorful Star Blouse, I'm looking at you).

>> No.10633408

Nayrt but most of my cutsews and blouses that have a frilly bottom hem are too long for me to wear untucked, especially the newer releases. I mainly wear skirts too.

It's not even an early release, it's an early pre-order.

My personal prediction is that the 2010 trend will fade over the next six months, especially as SC and all the various taobao hype-train pieces start to arrive. gulls keep predicting an OTT Classic revival, but I don't think that will happen with the main classic brands releasing such boring crap for the past few years.

I think it's more likely the next boom will be early to mid teens OTT stuff (like DDC or Harlequinade, or all the hime sweet stuff). At some point the trendlitas will get sick of hunting for sweatstained holy grail dresses and want something new, plus there's no shortage of gold glitter shoes and holographic purses on taobao to match mid-teens AP so it's easier for them to coord it.

>> No.10635499

>>10635468
i think this has been expressed before, but i'm pretty sure the sweet boom is going to calm down once people actually get back to going outside/having to go to work. at least on the US side it's because people are getting stimmies and unemployment, they're not used to having that much money at once so they'll spend all 1200 on a hype print

Yeah this is what threw me off - I still see the popular prints sell for $1k+, but some other items have cooled off. Then randomly there's an unremarkable pair of sax wristcuffs going for $90 with two bidders?

Oh pls no! Mature sweet-classic is my favourite AP era and I’ve already grabbed two cheap DDCs so far this year

In terms of popularity I don’t think there’ll be much of a departure from OTT styles anytime soon - maybe not pastel sweet specifically, but people will def be seeking escapism for the next few years at least. Personally I think gen Z will wanna mix ~edgy elements with sweet as they get older and acquire more disposable income. Everyone will argue about bittersweet again and there’ll be Demonias as far as the eye can see. I hate it already

I’m thinking frilly gothic revival - we’re already seeing Moitie dresses climbing in price again, they’ve been selling for like $500 in the past year, and I’ve also been seeing more interest in Sheglit and Boz. I think once the covidlitas realise these brands exist and are more difficult to get their hands on, they’ll become even more status pieces than they already were, especially since Moitie releases are so rare and Moitie fans tend to be hoarders. Also, the covidlitas are probably going to want to pivot from OTT sweet soon to show how “cool and unique” they are, and gothic will probably do that for them.

The high bidder has only been in the fashion for a year, so I think it's just desperation. They probably just really want a pair of sax brand wristcuffs, and they want it "now." I doubt they would sell again for $90.

I know it's stupid, but there have been countless times in my life where even native English speakers use the wrong words for things, or aren't specific enough in their wording. People tend to be loose with their language. And I've seen companies/colleges/etc do it. So I wouldn't rule it out in French.
I'm just disillusioned with AP too. I guess anything can happen, and maybe it's a print beyond what we've seen in the look books. But I'd bet, whatever it is, it'll also be a general release elsewhere. Paris might get a limited color or something.
Also, yes, I can email them, but that's pretty dumb when someone here already claims to have seen Paris say it's an unshared print. I just wanted anon to show us whatever they saw.

Ok, humor me because I’m back in the fashion after leaving for several years: did AP raise their prices in general or is AP USA just marked up a ton?

Tokimeki-anon here. I got some of the new Glitter Ribbon jewelry and made some comparisons if anyone is interested.

The new necklace is much longer than previous releases, which honestly kind of sucks. I prefer the shorter length (white colorway is the new release). I feel like the necklace is going to hang too low when worn.

The AUTISTIC man is the epitome of male dominance and masculinity.

Let's start by looking at his body. His body is large. His domineering size makes his presence known without him even needing to point himself out. He is muscular, as a result of his high levels of prenatal testosterone. This gives him the appearance of health and strength. He is then covered by his pale skin. This pale skin reminds us of his ruggedness, a feature that developed due to being exposed to the frigid darkness of his mothers basement, made to withstand such an extreme condition. It also has a psychological effect on the observer. The pale skin reminds us of our dark, deep desires that emerge from our primal subconscious past.

The AUTISTIC man's demeanor is one of alphaness. He is dominant, assertive, and can be explosively aggressive. His behaviour strikes fear into the more timid, cowardly races of man(n**Rotypical dogs)

The summit of expression of his masculinity on his body is his penis. The AUTISTIC penis is largest of all the races. As the penis is the penultimate symbol of manhood, this alone would suffice to make the AUTISTIC man the most masculine of men. This large penis is able fulfill the desire of the neediest of women, being able to more than fill all the recesses of the vagina. Its length ensures that when it ejaculates, the potent asperger seed will immediately enter the womb of the woman the AUTISTIC man impregnates.

In total, the AUTISTIC man expresses this masculinity in a most exemplary manner in bed. When he fucks, he unleashes the entirety of his lusts and desires upon his partner without any restraint.

All this is the reason why the AUTISTIC man is the epitome of masculinity

New version of Little House features a smaller gingham pattern on the ribbons and ruffles. It clashes less with the main part.

This is my theory. People who wear other jfashions besides lolita are also super into certain pastel items like socks, jewelry, cutsews, etc. from AP and it's more accessible to them plus lower income lolitas who can't afford a dress from every release.

I can also only wear like 2 rings per hand, maybe 3 because my hands are really small and rings with like the bow shapes or other big designs take up too much space horizontally and will make noise bumping into each other any time I move my hands since they almost overlap.

Did I get the skeleton hands gene or something? I'm not even underweight and AP rings are huge on me. My ring size is 4/4.5 and apparently that's just super small?

If you aren’t planning on selling you can adjust the size of the band with a heat gun. Or if you’re too scared to do that put part of a bandaid around the inner rim so it’s a snugger fit and you can’t see a difference. The second option means you can sell it and claim not damaged too.

I‘ve heard some people did so successfully, but I have yet to try it out myself.

If you’re only slightly chubby, they’ll become too small for comfort is what I‘ve experienced. The girls in my comm who can wear them comfortably are considered „thin“, probably just normal weight if we‘re honest. It’s like, if you barely fit unshirred OPs, you barely fit the rings. Personally I‘m not a big fan of the plastic rings, I feel uncomfortable with the thickness of the plastic rings overall.

Ah can see how that was confusing.

I know "missing out" might feel bad, but honestly, there's just no contest between the old bags and newer versions. I think I only appreciated my older bags when I went out on a limb and tried the new AP plush. I realized how different they are, material/construction-wise.
I hope one pops up for you soon!

I often see engravings like this that have been barely brushed with paint to look just like that, so the letters stand out. If anon can't clean it out with a toothbrush, it was probably put there purposely.

This seems to be fairly recent from what I can tell.
I have topping heart, bears chocolatier, and little bunny strawberry rings and none of them have engraving.
Unless it's on the gingham heart rings, I'm going to guess the ribbon ones are the first to have it.
