curious what ChineseGossip has to say about souffle song. All their stock photos just look off and there's always something wrong with the piece they are taking a picture of. Either wonky straps or off center/tiled bows... it seems Mucha prints are cursed.

I've heard snippets here and there, but seriously guys don't buy from them. That skirt is fug. They were the ones who had the knock-off Jellyfish dress, which they claimed to have been inspired by pic related, but we can all tell. The owner or one of the artists also used to work for Milanoo, and had a rash of problems with art and image theft. They then went on a deleting spree, I'll see what I can dig up.

I've been trying to figure out if the dress is cut like a muumuu or if it has some shaping to it. I can sort of see it go in a little towards her waist, which gives me hope, but I don't see any seam lines, which makes me think it's a muumuu cut that they pinned back to make it look good on the model.

You're a little too late. Sweetie Violet is now mostly sold out from the US shop today. They still have skirts and socks, just as the jp/intl online store does too. OPs, jsks, and hair clips were gone in minutes. If suggest you to sign up for an account on AP's jp/intl store and they will email you when releases will be. Also follow AP US's FB page as they announce releases too. Right now the only way to get a Sweetie Violet dress is through auctions.

I'm hoping it is, but on the front, the fabric seems to come down on either side of the chest tie without any seams, apparently from right under the collar, and the chest tie itself seems too high up to be underbust. That's what has been confusing me. Maybe there's a waist tie on the back that's giving the dress some shape.

Or, maybe I'll buy it first anyway and sell it off if it turns out to be a muumuu.

>>7518931

Your choice now is between AP USA and secondhand.

AP USA: keep an eye on their fb, or send them a message directly to ask when they will update sweetie violet onto their site. AP USA gets less stock, so be very quick, it'll probably sell out in nanoseconds. Be prepared to pay a hefty shipping fee as well.

secondhand: At this stage it would be yja or mbok, find a shopping service (I'd recommend fromjapan or japonica), go through the Angelic Pretty category until you find some Sweetie Violet stuff, and set a high bid (it's very popular right now, you're basically buying off japanese scalpers).
If you wait another week or two, you could try posting a wtb on the egl comm sales and hope that somebody didn't fit theirs and are willing to sell to you.

Sorry to hear about it. I've been buying from AP for years so I've always been on top of their releases. I have a sweetie violet jsk in lavender coming my way from the jp/intl site. I couldn't get the matching hair clip in time and tried for it again earlier today on US's but it sold out instantly!

If you use tumblr, people will post updates, twitter pics, and magazine scans on the latest series. When AP Japan gets a release, you can expect US to get their share of the stock a week or two after (sometimes later).

It's all about checking for updates. If you don't have the time, maybe ask a Lolita friend to inform you when something you want comes out?

I've now realised that when anons say they'll wait and get a dress secondhand for cheaper, the wait time seems to be about an entire year or three, provided the dress does not rocket in popularity.

>> No.7522376

>>7522270
Honestly I don't wait for secondhand because of this. If I want it now, I'm fortunate enough to get it now. Waiting for prices to drop is unpredictable. Misty Sky and Honey Cake were prints that somehow skyrocketed in prices several months to a year after they were released. RRL, MCD, and now Sweetie Violet seems to keep it's value, probably because they are all chiffon pieces which seems pretty popular. I just buy them when they release rather than wait for them to drop.
