[Anonymous No.8491057]

Bodyline's L360 in red. I still have it.

[Anonymous No.8491061]

In sax. I still own it but it doesn't fit. Bought it super over priced at ALA. My first brand piece was the Candy Bustier JSK by AP in black and pink.

[Anonymous No.8491076]

Oh man this thread is gonna be full of Bodyline.

Got this, surprisingly it still holds up.

My first dress was this in pink. I can't believe how excited I was when it first arrived, because now it just sits in my closet now. Thank god my taste has improved.

[Anonymous No.8491139]

Still a bit of a newbie to lolita, but the last coord I did with this was way better than my first.

[Anonymous No.8491153]

Chess Story's dear deer.
Thank god I never followed through with wearing disgusting tumblr deer makeup. It's too far short for me and it looks weird with an underskirt so it just sits in my wardrobe.
I can't bring myself to sell it after all this time, I just love it too much but I still have no idea how to wear it.

[Anonymous No.8491164]

[Anonymous No.8491166]

Never regreted. Such a versatile piece.

[Anonymous No.8491183]

This DOL replica of Sugary Carnival in black. I wore it a few times before realizing that it was a piece of shit. I often hope that girl on the left has moved on from being ita as fuck as well ( met her waiting for my train home from NYCC that year).

[Anonymous No.8491191]

I still own it

[Anonymous No.8491192]

>>8491136
I'm honestly really embarassed that I still want to wear it and make it work somehw. It'll never fit me (the sleeves were always too tight) but I can't bring myself to sell it. I feel like it can be saved somehow.

[Anonymous No.8491195]

My first dress was almost Bodyline's Squirrel Birthday Party JSK in lavender, but the seller I was getting it from turned out to be some tween who was buying/selling without their parents' permission. Disappointing at the time, but I'm glad I got this instead. I'm much more into classic lolita and like that I rarely see people wearing this series. Won't lie though-still think Squirrel Birthday Party is cute as fuck even if it's an ita staple.

[Anonymous No.8491197]

>>8491195
squirrel party isn't ita, just the people who own it can't dress

[Anonymous No.8491204]

Pic related in red. I hated how it fit so I altered it into a JSK before I wore it out for the first time. I still have and I still like to wear it.

[Anonymous No.8491205]

It's not a bad piece but it took 3 months to get to me and by the time it arrived I preferred sweet lolita... I've worn it twice and I'm thinking of selling it cause I've just moved away from dark classic.

[Anonymous No.8491212]

Mine was pretty bad

[Anonymous No.8491213]

Still love it, but it's too themed to wear other then for conventions and halloween.

[Anonymous No.8491278]

My love. Probably paid a bit too much for it but I have no regrets.

[Anonymous No.8491295]

>Didn't know the importance of buying something 10cm off in the bust.
Still doesn't fit me.
>I really need to lose weight.

Another ita staple, in pink. I still love it though.

Surface Spell Gothic JSK. I think it's still on the site.

[Anonymous No.8491662]

First piece ever bought was Bodyline L031 in sax for $6 at a thrift store. I recognized the brand because I was lurking here at the time. It doesn't suit my style, but it's not really worth selling.
Second piece, counts as my first brand, was pic related in brown. Got it from an anon in the BST thread. No ragrets.

Still own it but it sits in my closet. Funny thing is, I was going to buy the Chess Story lucky pack instead (I love that dress and will forever regret it) but my parents refused to let me change the order.

I was going to get the skirt version of this for my first piece, but I ended up with l141, pic related. Bought it from a very nice girl who let me borrow some items for my first meet and bought me the matching headpiece.

>>8491003

My god, they've developed a pure fusion-type lace bomb

[Anonymous No.8491980]

This in blue, but without the collar and I had removed the bib. I got this about 4 or 5 years ago and only wore it once. I can't bring myself to sell it and I thought it'd be a fun challenge to try to wear this thing and make it look good, but I'm not sure I can do it.

[Anonymous No.8492011]

>>8491061
That's surprisingly cute

[Anonymous No.8492027]

>>8491644
That is literaliy the most unlolita normalfag dress to start out in a very distinctive fashion. I mean jothing against you personally but if you bought an identical dress in a normal store i wouldn't fly as lolita, not that it isn't lovely. It's Juliette and Justine I have issues with. So pretty, but does not say 'lolita' to me so much as kind of historically inspired vintagey pretty dresses

Anon. she's saying it's a Surface Spell Gothic jsk. Surface Spell Gothic and Surface Spell are two separate taobao shops.

[Anonymous No.8492136]

My first lolita purchase was Melty Mermaid Op with the matching headpiece. This dress was my dream dress and got me into lolita in the first place. I had been waiting for it to pop up for four years and refused to buy anything else as my first piece. (Im a retard)

[Anonymous No.8492139]

Yeah, I though it was common knowledge.

Is Anna House that bad? I love my JSK but the blouse I bought is trash.

[Anonymous No.8492351]

Got this secondhand, it was an impulse buy for only $15. I had been lurking before that and didn't think I really wanted to wear sweet. I guess this converted me because that's mostly what I wear now.

I've only worn it the once but I might wear it again for kicks. I know it can be a pretty ita dress but I don't think I did too badly with it.

[Anonymous No.8492457]

My first purchase was Haenuli's Little Prince JSK in Fantasia and the tights second hand.

[Anonymous No.8492511]

>>8491980
I have this exact dress, and I can't part with it either for sentimental reasons.
I usually wear it with generic punk or creepy cute since it's too short for lolita

[Anonymous No.8492528]

This thing in pink. I removed the awkward bows on the front and replace all the little ribbons but it's actually quite cute. I still wear it from time to time.

[Anonymous No.8492534]

>>8491393
It's shit, I am honestly tempted to sell it. It might be able to be turned into a cosplay of some sort, it just looks awful.

Trust me anon, unless this is going to be used as a cosplay, there's no reason to be jealous

Shiny black satin/cotton 'Drug Honey' jsk with rabbit ear hood & cheap-ass raschel lace... I still cant bring myself to get rid of it for some reason though

[Anonymous No.8492550]

I had to look back in my email for this, but I notice that I made my very first BL order and lolita purchase on july 24th 3 years ago. I know that probably no one cares but I guess I found it funny since the date is coming up soon. maybe I can celebrate by throwing away my cash and buying the new $133 jsk!!!!!!

anyways, I like to think I did pretty good for my first order in that I think I picked the better BL items. just sold the purple skirt the other day, blue skirt I'm thinking about just turning into a little pillow or something. I still have my bunny cinderella JSK though, I like it a lot for some reason and I think it's one of BL's best items. I sort of want to collect each colorway of the jsk (which is possible since...it's BL)

[Anonymous No.8492577]

>>8492272
I've bought from there twice. they completely messed up my first order, I didn't get the shoes I ordered and one of the blouses was not the one I ordered. when the shoes did arrive one pair had two left shoes. The second time I got the wrong blouse again. This was 5 and 3 years ago though. Their dresses were okay, the petticoats and shoes were absolutely terrible.

>>8492272
The blouse I ordered in the previous picture was way too small than their actual listed measurements and the JSK in this picture is actually a two piece. It was good quality but looking back at it, I cringe really hard because it didn't look good on me at all (even though I was so happy and felt cute af in it at the time).

Anna House has some cute dresses, but would only look good if it is coordinated well, imho.

[Anonymous No.8493310]

bought it off closet child

[Anonymous No.8493357]

Technically my first ever lolita-related purchase was a bodyline cutsew I got at a con for 10 euro. But the first thing I actually ordered was this in black. I still have it, though I'm too tall for it now.

[Anonymous No.8493376]

>>8492528
My first piece was the same but in all black. I also took off the bows, but in the end I sold it because I didn't like the shiny cloth it was made off.
Is yours shiny, too?

[Anonymous No.8493391]

>>8491715
we're in the same boat anon. I have a lot (considering I'm a broke college kid) saved up for lolita and I stalk lacemarket like a ravenous vulture, and every time a coveted dress comes up I hesitate... and then it's sold. I need to bite the bullet and do this thing. I feel like it might also be safer to just get a lucky pack but I'm kinda tall so I need to make sure it fits.

[Anonymous No.8493394]

>>8492011
looks quite a bit more like an actual oldschool dress nice job. I still take offense to some of that lace but not sure if you can take that off

[Anonymous No.8493615]

Nope, the fabric is actually very nice. Thick, soft, and not shiny at all.

I was thinking about getting a lucky pack too. Mostly, because i have no loli-able clothing or really any accessories but i don't want to end up with a bunch of stuff i don't like either.
Has anyone ordered from lolitadesu?
A skirt version of one of my dream dresses is on there. It looks like their kawaii and beauty lucky packs are just cheap shit. I haven't seen much on their Lolita Fashion lucky packs tho. Are they shit too?

[Anonymous No.8494050]

>>8493824
Well I know about all the rest of that, but I haven't seen all the photos of her being their model I guess because I missed this one. The others don't look too bad, but holy crap. This one... She looks drunk off her ass.

I bought it during a con at a fashion swap, and this kickstarted my journey into lolita.

It's pretty good quality! Aside from a few loose threads on all the embroidery, the fabric is really nice and it fits really well. Where are you/how much would be willing to pay for it as I am looking to sell it and I'd much rather it goes to someone who really wants it!
