Looks like somebody got wise to the Yen conversion discount. Just tried it myself, everything I put into my cart in Yen switches to USD.

Aw man, really?
I had a couple things I wanted to buy, but not for the ridiculous USD price.

[Anonymous No.6947279]

>>6947238 again

It just let me order them in offwhite for $48.48, everything stayed in yen while I was ordering. Now I shall go and try the same ones in black and see if it still works.

[Anonymous No.6947288]

>>6947268

Try it, you might have to break it up into multiple orders.

When I tried ordering the shoes in OP in black and white in yen, it switched to USD, but it worked just fine for one pair.

It's a maid outfit from the costume section.

It's not meant to be worn as lolita, but if you take off the apron and use the right accessories, I could see someone making an okay coord out of it.

Metal studs have been a thing since... forever. It's a punk thing, not to mention the shoes are listed under the "punk" section. And RHS were invented by Vivienne Westwood for punks.

Tubmlr just did what tumblr does, takes scraps of things, slaps them together randomly and then calls it another thing.

Have you not been in a physical store recently? Studs are a huge trend in the West at the moment, I can hardly go out and buy a plain sweater without having to sift through a million studded ones.

[Anonymous No.6948280]

>>6947238
i've discovered that if you sit too long on one page (like your cart for example) the site defaults back to dollars when you refresh or go to another page on the site. to fx t, just re-select yen in the dropdown box. just made a test cart of 8000 yen and it went to paypal just fine in yen, so that still seems to work.

[Anonymous No.6948425]

For anybody buying these shoes, I have them in black, had them on for five minutes and the leathery stuff had already scraped off them. Mine have been worn gently a handful of times and they're covered in scrapes with the coating peeling off.

If you want shoes that last, these aren't great. I love Bodyline's shoes, the patent ones are really good value for money and stay in nice condition for a long time, but the non-patent ones scuff to hell and back after only a wear or two.

[Anonymous No.6948748]

>>6948168

Yes I have, and i know that. I was saying studs aren't a NEW trend. They come and go, but they were popular before way pastelpunk or creepygoth (idk what they're called).

>>6948425

What the hck do you do to your shoes? Because I have two non-patent black pairs of Bodyline RHS (including the ones in OP) and have worn them both many times over dirt, gravel and various other terrain with no problems. Except for the damage on the other pair which I bought used, they still look like they did when i bought them. Do you just drag your feet and slam your toes into everything?

[Anonymous No.6948754]

I have these and they're fine, sounds like you got a bad batch anon :c sorry!

I've had that issue with another pair of bodyline's shoes. I've gotten some other made in china shoes that are shit. You can tell because the material is soft to the touch. But I've had other bodyline shoes that work out great, a few pairs have gotten worn several times and no scuffs or marks.

Really? For me it was the patent shoes that scuff like a bitch, my matte ones have been fine.

Or is it just me that always gets that?

Wait a week. They give out tracking ahead of when the parcels are actually sent out (every Tuesday iirc), so they won't activate until then.

Has anyone bough the L325 corset skirt since they restocked and added new colors?

I bought one in black a while ago thinking I might be able to squeeze into it (I'm 2.5cm bigger than the max measurements) and though I can, I can barely breathe with it on. I saw one review where a girl said that the one she just bought, in the new color, fit her waist (84.5cm) and could go even bigger. I was wondering if this was just a fluke or if all the new colors/restocks are made with more stretch to them

I took the plunge and ordered it in RedXOff-white, for a jsk costing only $13 its no loss to me really and could make a cute summer dress if irredeemably un-loliable. (but from the pictures the cut of it is really cute so I'm kinda excited!)

[Anonymous No.6951754]

Thoughts about this? More specifically the black+white/brown+beige ones. They look pretty to me, but I'm not experienced with lolita and can't tell apart bad Bodyline pieces from the good ones.

[Anonymous No.6951753]

>>6951729

Hell, even on Bodyline it was only like $35.
I'd make an offer but every time I buy something from a UK seller I pay $10+ for shipping and NEVER get a tracking number, so there's no way I would do that for $75. This is one of my first dream dresses and I still wouldn't pay that much for it. Though £35/$50 before shipping would be doable for this.

this design had something going for it... but lost it
the skirt for starters isn't long enough or "full" or "wide" enough to look right.. once again BL cheapening and not wanting to spend more money on simple print less fabric.
then its the lace, which I doubt is good in person. the beige-brown would be a great choice if it weren't these factors.. its a shame because I love the little details like the bows on the blouse collar and whatnot particularly the red one, speaks a lot of Old School

It's almost good. The skirt needs to be fuller and there's just way too much going on in general. Four different kinds of lace so close? Really? Same with the capelet - just way too much.

Does bodyline run true to these sizes? Like, if I'm 23.5 cm, should I get a 240 or whatever?

[Anonymous No.6961034]

>>6960448
I'm a US 6/23 cm and I ordered a half size up in 235.

From my experience, some of the shoes were about right on me, maybe slightly wiggly, but then one pair, the 274 ones are at least a full size too large for me (fit more like 7's). So I would say go for your exact size, but depending on the shoes you're getting. Next time I'm ordering 230's myself.
