Bodyline dress at Goodwill

[Anonymous No.6351158]

So I was at goodwill the other day looking for a cheap wedding dress to spill fake blood all over when I came across this. It was only 10 dollars and I keep wondering how it got there in the first place. I bought it because it was so cheap and if I end up not liking it, I can give it to a friend as a gift or something.

I'm not super into lolita as I am poor as hell, but I like to admire from afar. So do you seagulls have any advice for what could go well with this? Or maybe discus finding BURANDO in a strange place or something

[Anonymous No.6351191]

I've heard rumours of people finding brand at goodwill. is this true?

what sort of sick freak decides to give their stuff to goodwill when it could just be worn by whores that don't know the dress's value.
I mean, you could of sold it and given away the money to charity. it would of benifited the community a lot more.

You're just pissed off and jealous that someone is getting a dress for cheap while you shell out hundreds for Chinese sweatshop quality dresses that aren't even unique. Grow up.

I've been finding bodyline, malco-modes, petticoats up the wazoo at goodwill and savers. Which is weird as hell considering I live in the ghetto. Weird ass shit.

[Anonymous No.6351218]

Thank you anon for a speedy reply! I have heard that this board goes a little slow sometimes so I didn't want to seem like a jerk for bumping.

I keep looking for this dress on the bodyline website to see the original price because even if some people think it might be really ita, I kinda like it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

Thrift stores sometimes have arrangements with "regular" stores to get their old/damaged stock.

Some people for one reason or another might get a pile of stuff dumped on them, and rather than sort through things they have little idea about, will just donate anything without any obvious value ... to most people in the store, OP's find is just some godawful ugly, frilly dress.

And some people just have too much shit and wind up donating it.

Thrift stores are a goldmine if you're persistent.

It's not ita at all, as it is. It just depends on how you coordinate it. To be easy, just use a white blouse, white socks, and some red shoes. You'll need a petticoat too if you don't have one. Might be able to find one in the thrift store too.

I'm not the person who originally posted it, but:
>dress is sold to lolita for $200
>money is donated
vs.
>dress is sold via goodwill for $25 to normies
>money is donated
maximum value would be achieved by reselling it to a lolita, which is I think what their point was.

Man, I love shopping at thrift stores, especially Crossroads. I've seen Liz Lisa a couple of times. For foreign brands, Crossroads (and other thrift stores) usually price it lower than they would for a high-end American brand since they usually just guess the value.

Thrifting is like treasure hunting. Let's go together sometime, OP.

[Anonymous No.6352446]

That dress is no where near 200. Its an older bodyline print maybe 30-40$. Yes OP got a deal but not by much honestly

I've given bodyline, cheap brand and taobao stuff to goodwill. I'm just lazy and don't have the will and time to go through the hassle of selling anything under $80 on egl to be honest.

not to mention i don't really know what to do with my $10 kawaii korean style not lolita taobao shit. where would I even post it to sell it? and all for a measly $5? I rather just donate it and get it out of my hair.

There are a lot of different circumstances, I think. I feel like I end up hearing a lot about girl's who parents end up cleaning out their closet and end up accidentally (or purposely) throw out some dresses.

Haven't ever really found any of these supposed "lost dresses" before, but one time I found a really really nice petticoat at Buffalo Exchange for $10. I scoured that entire store thinking that maybe some girl's entire lolita wardrobe had ended up there, but it looked like it had been just a stray.

I don't think it's ita at all. I find the print is a little bit too busy for my personal taste, but I think as long as you keep the accessories simple it will look fine.

[Anonymous No.6360222]

Honestly, it depends a lot on the way they handle donations and the neighborhood/area where said shops are located. If you're in an area that has a bit more money and doesn't rotate or immediately send donations to a central location for sorting then redistribution [what Salvation Army does] then you may find more nice things in the store.

My undergrad university had a pretty ridiculously high population of "rich kids" driving mostly anything from BMW to Benz. They donated their clothes etc to the local thrift shop so there were actually some nice high-end brand items in there that may have been worn once. A lot of things were still tagged.

[Anonymous No.6360245]

I've given some brand items to thrift stores just because I have awful social anxiety and am terrified of the thought of selling something online all by myself. I wish I had a friend in real life I could pay a small percentage to sell through.

it's not just about gay marriage, but that's ok if you don't want to do your own research. besides, there are plenty of thrift stores and charities that don't literally shut gays out in the cold.

I can never find anything decent in them. I was pretty poor as a kid and a lot of my clothes came from the Salvation Army. There was a big one in my neighborhood.
I'e never seen a Goodwill. In fact, I used to think it was just a generic term for a thrift store that they'd use on TV shows. Either they aren't common or they just don't really exist in my area. There are several mom & pop thrift stores in my old neighborhood though. I don't know if they are any better than the big name ones though. It's been awhile since I've been to one.

Maybe I just have super bad luck but I neverfind any decent clothing. Most of the stuff i pick up tends to be knicknacks and old PS/PS2 games.

Pretty sure that Anon was just trying to let others know that donations don't stay at the store re: if there's one in a ritzy neighborhood, said ritzy donations don't necessarily land in that store because of their distribution practices. I don't think Anon brought that up to start some moral war.

But yea, most areas have local thrift stores too so they can make the choice where they want to shop. Then again, I think when you're that down on your luck, you tend to be less picky about policies and political agendas versus not having clothing to survive.

And that is exactly why you couldn't find anything lol. Wellington, especially southern suburbs, is much better for thrifting imo - Opportunity for Animals in Newtown is my favourite.

If you want to spend a day thrifting I recommend Paper Bag Princess on Cuba, and Spacesuit only if they're having a sale (they do some imported second hand stuff but are usually ridiculously overpriced except at sale time). All the actual "vintage" stores are expensive as fuck. Recycle Boutique is pretty good though.

In terms of suburbian thrifting, Opportunity for Animals and Red Cross (Newtown/Kilbirnie) are pretty good; the sallies and St Vincent's are also worth a look but I have much less luck there.

They don't "shut gays out in the cold." In fact, if you bother to read their policies it says that gay people just aren't eligible to become their church ministers or full members, but they wouldn't turn any customers or people in need away because of their sexual orientation.

And you know something? They're in their right to do that as a religious organization. Many religious organizations have their own rules (specifically against women) who do a hell of a lot less for the general population, yet you won't see hardly anyone stirring shit up about that. So maybe instead of projecting your misplaced anger on an organization that has helped millions of people worldwide, you should look at the bigger picture.

You don't choose it you stupid fuck, it's assigned at birth just like any other genetic trait. Can you CHOOSE to be gay right now? Like go ahead, start rubbing it to same-sex porn. Go kiss your best friend. Does it get you hot and bothered? No. You can't fucking CHOOSE sexual orientation.

[Anonymous No.6362192]

>>6362186
not >>6362182 but I partly agree. being gay doesn't mean you get born with your dick permanently attached to some guys ass so there is obviously some sort of "choice" there, as in it's doable to have sex with pretty much anyone, while changing your race is far from possible.
