I think rareness is a big part of what constitutes a dream dress, because in order for anything to be extremely desireable it also has to be limited.
Pic related, I've only seen it a couple of times

Same anon, same.
There was one up for auction on Y!J not too long ago, but it finished at 27000 yen or something like that, which isn't too bad.
I really wish I bid on that but I had no money at the time.

>Pretty much all brand things are dream dresses for me, since I don't have a disposable income yet.
Same. Not exactly the dresses themselves, I can afford them, I just can't justify spending over 50% of the price of dress+shipping in taxes.

My country now assumes every package from a foreign country is a purchase (due to people lying and marking as gift to get rid of taxes- now I can't even trade the few dresses I already have) and has a standard price for stuff, so if they see my package, assume I paid $300 for the shit that's in there, they're gonna tax me over $300, even if I only paid $100 for said second hand dress. I don't have enough money to throw away on a shitty, abusive government so I can't buy anything unless I'm travelling.
I'm currently saving up for a shopping trip to Japan because of that. Which will probably take a few more years, but oh well. Sorry for the long rant.

>>7083476
I agree. Of course if it is a "dream" dress it is either 1- rare, hard to come by or 2- very expensive (though lolita dresses are usually both things) because if not for these two, the person would just buy it and not just keep wishing.

I think that's partially true and why some people continue to obsess and hunt for their dream dresses - lolita is after all a bit of a collector's fashion. However, I think some dresses that aren't as rare are just as loved and as legitimately "dream dress" as rarer ones if they give you the same feelings. I distinguish from wishlist and dream dress in that the dream dress is the love at first sight/have to have it/one ring to rule them all and the wishlist dresses are the supporting harm/all those other rings.

Still looking.

My "dream" pieces are really pieces from when I first got into lolita that I couldn't buy because I was a broke kid spending all my money on projects for art/design classes. They're all things that are almost impossible to find lately. Right now, I have three that I'm actually actively looking for. I have only ever found one from my small list in the past, so many have been bumped off as "impossible". However, I now may have found one that I previously had written off, provided that my shopping service can get a bid in in time. I'm quietly flailing, because it's in amazing condition and for a great price.

As for photo contribution, pic related is a past dream dress, which I finally was able to buy after years of lusting after it.

Ahh YES. My ultimate dream dress is finally being sold by someone.
I would like some CGL opinions though, when is it acceptable that one sells higher than retail value?
Is it just for those of cult following? I don't feel the dress I'm interested in has much demand, but it's in excellent unworn condition?

oh, don't take this to mean that I think you should expect someone to pay over retail for an out of stock item. But if something is out of stock, I would price it a little over retail depending on rarity, and if no bites, drop to retail, no bites, drop again. Not trying to say just because a dress is not in stock that it is WORTH more than retail, just that it's not a bad idea to put it up for more to see if anyone bites. And then you obviously have to be realistic and drop the price until it sells. or I guess hold out for months/years like some of those insanely high priced auctions that are always up without bids or buyers on all the auction sites.
