As if every newfag doesn't say that shit every time they're called out on it. No matter what brand you like, if you've been on lacemarket or any second hand site enough to think that you own a good amount of brand pieces then you'll probably have absorbed a little bit about AP, especially with all of the holy lantern rerelease shit that's been going on.

Cats like their owner's feet stink. They will stick their face in there and snuggle, then sleep as curled up inside a shoe as they can. My cats hide toys as presents in my shoes occasionally too. Hopefully next time the seller lint rolls her shoes before she sells them.

Not super WTF but I bought a bonnet off of Wunderwelt that was labeled as Angelic Pretty even though the tag was intact and very clearly said Alice and the Pirates, pic related.
My best guess as to why is because AATP is commonly referred to as "AP" in Japan

Not the first time they do a mistake. A while ago I bought a bolero off them that was labelled as Aatp and when I received it I saw it had the IW tag on it. I didn't mind it, because finding out it was IW was actually an upgrade to me. But I can see how it might bother some people. Buying second hand always has a certain risk to it, even if it's the well established shops.

In the early days it actually was sometimes referred to as A/P or A&P, but because of the confusion with actual AP, Aatp is the term that established itself in the end. Nobody uses the other anymore, that's why they are irrelevant nowadays.

>> No.9193182

Well there was nothing wrong with it, so I didnt really mind the mis-labeling. Almost all the lolita I've bought has been secondhand and I've had one bad experience, and it was an older Baby skirt being too short on me because I didn't compare the measurements on myself before grabbing it

Echoing what the other anons said, this isn't super surprising although it's lazy that she didn't clean them first. Some kinds of cat hair just get everywhere, especially if your cat loves sticking its face in your shoes.

I sold a wool (cosplay) coat recently, and even though it'd only been worn twice and lived in a storage bin, it still took me 15 minutes to lint roll all the damn cat hair off.

If you want a serious answer, I imagine from that picture that the dress is tight around the chest, but does not tighten around the waist, instead the fabric flows freely down and makes the triangle shape you see in the picture. Thus if you measure the fabric of the dress, the length around the bust is shorter than the length around the waist area.

>>9196098
I know it's a replica for a fatty chan but how new are you

Even if you took the real dress the measurements are gonna be similar in regards to the waist being larger than the bust because it's "free size", like that's the nature of sack dresses/a-line dresses like this.

I suspect they come from breeders and butterfly farms who sell the butterflies which die naturally (very short lived) to collectors and artists.
