So, btssb announced some new stuff at their teaparty.

I'm a total newbie to anything btssb but I'm in love with one of the dresses and I need to pre-order.

Anyone have info/experience on these teaparty pre-orders and what would be the best route to secure one of these dresses?

In the mean time, dumping some pics.

My friend told me to use an in-store SS to reserve the dress I want. Is this really the best way to go?

Is the btssb SFO store so bad that I should just avoid it?

It's legitimately beautiful. It's a shame that it reminds me of a wedding dress though.

Sadly that is impossible, anon. The dress is similar to a few they have released recently, which were all about $350. Since this is a special tea party dress, expect them to cost $450 or more. Great collection pieces!

If the SF store puts them up for reservation, there's no reason not to. It might be a little more than buying directly from the Japanese website though.

"Sana", the one with the reputation for blacklisting doesn't work for the SF store, she's the English customer service in Japan. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to deal with her if you reserved with them.

So, SFO will be more expensive, but buying from the japanese is risky and I can end up blacklisted?

I don't need an in-store SS, right? My friend was talking about an in-store SS and it didn't really make sense to me if it was for a pre-order.

Talked to a friend, she said this about prices:

"Usually they range from 50000yen to 140000yen +/- a bit depending on the dress. The wedding dress one is always the most expensive. Some of these special dresses will have regular, simple releases of JSKs that are not elaborate and will go for regular prices. Soiree already has a regular JSK version that Misako posted in her blog last night wearing. The more elaborate ones like the Scarlet will be that version only. It really just depends on what they decide to do (and i'm basing this on the previous years that I have seen and purchased from)."

Of all the dresses, I actually like that one the most. I think the strawberry ones are meh (seriously, Emikyu, Meta, and AP have all done that big berries thing already, and way better), the landscape ones are painting postcard, and the other ones just don't catch my fancy as much. I do really like my tacky pastel ruffles though - I also want Soap Bubble in the multicolour-way and this Maxicimam dress.
