>>she overcharges on dresses that no one knows how much they cost
How does your friend know the dress was not the price she says anyway? if the dress price is not listed anywhere?
I used her SS just today and she quoted a very elusive JETJ dress for less that 15,000yen. I don't believe you anon, sorry. She's a great SS.
Also she has been doing SS for like 5 years now. That's a very long time for her "scamming ways" to come to light.

I own the first one and I would say that the content is quite similar to the bible, except that the pictures are bigger and less "decorated". They had also japanese brands next to the chinese brands, and several japanese models. And the magazines always come with extras like a folder, postcards and totebag.

How can you even say the coloring is different? She didnt do the two toned eyes but the orange eye on the original is like exactly the same color she chose.
There are way too many convenient similarities for me to think that she wasnt heavily inspired by it. She obviously didnt trace but she basically used it as a reference.

>How can you even say the coloring is different?

Thanks for proving you have no fucking practice in art and don't deserve to have people take your opinions on this particular piece seriously. I was talking about the TECHNIQUE. The TECHNIQUE is not similar AT ALL. The one on the right is far more flat and gives off a far more "animated" feel.

>There are way too many convenient similarities for me to think that she wasnt heavily inspired by it.

Besides being a fairly cartoonish white cat drawn in semi profile how are they similar? Proportions, shading, style, these things are all significantly different. You're ignorant in this topic and it shows.

Just because I draw a certain kind of flower at a certain angle doesn't mean anyone else who wants to draw a similar flower at a similar angle is fucking copying me. Educate yourself on shit like this before farting out an opinion.

i wouldn't say it's a direct copy, but it definitely reeks of someone latching onto jetoy's popularity by mimicking the style. they just made sure not to trace or copy/paste in order to fool layman-types like >>9206223

if it was just someone's tumblr post and they mentioned jetoy as an inspiration it'd be fine, but trying to pass it off as original and presumably selling it is pretty lame

if i had seen the cat in the pendant by itself first, i would've just assumed someone cut out a jetoy printout and made it into a charm.
you can see the slight differences when they're right up against each other because the knockoff isn't directly traced.
not being traced or copied stroke-for-stroke doesn't mean it's original imo

Actually the white one's eyes were green originally and changed at the last second to better parallel the black.

The funny thing is that I actually vectored a photo of a real cat and painted features over that. If somebody had found the original photo (which they won't because I took it hueh.) I'd be like "Ha! You got me!" But instead it's just kind of funny.

I could have been doing better things with my life. (I guess I could be doing better things now, too.)

Sit the fuck back and look at this picture, anon.
Left is by Peppermint Fox. Right is by HBJ. No, they're not identical, but you have to admit they're very very similar. People called the creator of HBJ out on the similarity and she said it was just a coincidence. Oh well, right?
But then she comes out with >>9206193. It's possible for artists to change styles, sure. But to suddenly, drastically change her style to closely resemble that of another commercially successful artist? You can't honestly believe this is just another coincidence.

I don't even care if I'm responding to HWC at this point because there are too many other people still defending HBJ on her blatant ripoffs.

Because indie brands and artists that copy-cat off of other indie brands and artist are the lowest types of backstabbers.

I unfollowed her when she pulled the peppermintfox copy-cat shit. I don't care if her stuff is cute, she has no ethics and no honor.

It's especially low because she owns a store where she was selling peppermintfox items, and then she started selling copy-cat items side by side with them; essentially poaching customers from the artists she was supposed to be representing.

Most people aren't publicly giving her shit about it because of her position in the community, but it's a really shitty thing she's doing and she's done it enough that there is no way that it is a coincidence.

You sound like you're taking this way too seriously. Everyone emulates art styles they like. Everyone changes it up. If those styles are also what your demographic likes, there's nothing wrong with going with it. She's not straight up copying anything, and no one is forcing you to buy her stuff.

idunno, almost all their prints this year have gone on sale instead of selling out, a fair few went on to be priced at 50% off, AP Tokyo just put a bunch of dresses on sale for 10,800, and a couple of prints went down to a previously unheard-of price of ~5k yen.

Like, there's gotta be some point in which AP looks at their sales and go, "yikes, we've never had to sell exclusive print dresses at the ~5k yen mark before, maybe we should cut back on stock". At this point I don't really believe it's all due to increased stock, seems a bit counterproductiive to me to have so much stock and then have it all go on sale later, and it remains unbought long enough to be reduced even more. Really seems more to me like no one particularly likes this year's releases from AP.

The funny thing is I'm not even that anon you both were replying to.
And I don't even craft. But if others can find their style, why should you be an exception? Why being an artist in the first place if you can't contribute with your own ideas? Nobody cares about your problems, or skills, or life. Get your shit together or stop bragging and whining that you are surrounded by idiots who just can't appreciate your hard-working stealing. Because they'll never stop, and by making fools of everyone you only make it worse. Such a pointless waste of money to make a website and advertise here to ruin everything by your own behaviour.

>>9206773
Speaking of mossbadger, I personally don't think that she's being original enough to call similar items rip-offs. I only value artists and crafters who make their original designs, including art and shapes. It may be a great idea to combine things together in a new way, kind of invention really, but it doesn't have a personal touch to it. I mean, come on, everyone can purchase silicone molds off Ali and print Michelangelo. So no worries.

Vendetta gull spectacularly broke up with her boyfriend and they were being really nasty to each other. At HJ everyone is together (vendetta, her ex, jade and jade's ex among others) and jade and vendetta are getting really friend-sy with each other's exes. This sparks drama in the group and jade and vendetta fall out. Both now have new boyfriends and jade's never met her's because he lives in Canada. Vendetta thinks jade is really childish and immature. I think both are being immature by bringing their personal drama onto a public forum like this.

Because I'm not trying to sell my art to this community? I'm not even an artist, I just HAVE EYES. How is anyone so obtuse to believe that they don't have to put original thought and craft into producing something with the intent to sell. It's not the same as "fan art", what HBJ is doing is literally taking popular indie brands' styles, copying and trying to make a profit off of it.

I think that increasing stock is efficient in the long run, even when they had more stuff for sale this year than the last years, because otherwise costumers will get upset and maybe even turn away from the brand because it became almost impossible to buy any dress.

Yes, this makes sense, I feel like they're rolling in the dough when they do an MTO of some iconic, sought-after print, to the point where they have to close an MTO early and schedule a second one. But the monthly/weekly releases that they roll out generally seem to suck, and stick around in the online shop. Even the ones that get hyped up seem to sell out in only one or two colours, and then the rest hang around for a couple of months before going on sale.

I suppose making bank on the super popular MTOs of dresses every girl wants tends to make up for losing money on the weekly releases, and would explain how they're still top seller for La Foret like >>9206980 says (well, that, and the La Foret shop always has exclusive special sets to draw buyers in).

>>9207088

The flipside of this is that now, when a print goes up, you'll get a few girls predicting whether or not it's a clusterfuck enough to go on sale later on, and the girls that are sitting on the fence might chose not to drop money on it now if there's a high enough chance the dress will only be worth half of what it is once AP puts it on sale. Yes, the girls who still love the dresses will still buy them, but it's still sales lost from those who like it, but gamble on the dress going on sale later, as almost all AP prints have gone on sale this year.

AP has always walked a fine line between just enough stock and barely enough stock as part of their marketing to get girls to buy first, think later. I just don't see a lot of benefit to the "so much stock, come back and buy it at 50% off later" strategy, is all.

Baby wallets don't hold up well. at least the one I had (one with a clip type for the change compartment). used it pretty much daily though, so not sure if you intend to use it daily or not. but if you want a wallet for daily use, better go for a non-clip version or an other brand

Hello people of /cgl/

I am not a browser of this board but I've come here to ask for a little advice.
I'd like to make a gift to a dear friend of mine and, considering she into lolita stuff, I thought of buying her some kind of lolita accessory.
The point is that I have zero knowledge in lolita (and dresses or fashion in general) so I ask if you could give me some advice on where should I look for stuff, what should I avoid, which are the brands can be trusted more, excetera...
I've come here because I know she browses this board, to keep it a surprise I'll probably delete my posts when I'll be done.
Thanks for your time

cute! do you know what style(s) you're friend likes? if so we can point you to brands to look for. as far as shopping goes, go to thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/buying and check out the links and instructions. look for things that ship to the us. generally used stores and western based stores ship faster (it might take you a while to receive new goods from brands or taobao)

Almost all of it is still available. Considering it seemed to have been a Halloween prrint I do think this is going to stick around and go on sale later. If you're not particularly picky on which cut/colourway you end up with, I'd say your chances are good. If you have your eye on one of the cutsew OPs it might actually sell out before the end of October though.

My local store still had everything in stock late last week, but I'm guessing they'll go on sale at New Years, so 5 months might be pushing it if you're hoping to buy directly from AP.
Who knows though, they just slashed some summer sale prices even further because those prints haven't sold out yet.

Kek. All she literally had to do was post the source photo she said she took. That would've quelled most of the chatter but seeing as she ignored it, all it did was prove she never took the photo? It's not a witch hunt, it's calling someone out for lying.

This is the photo that was asked for? It's clearly the one she used.
She said she didn't take the photo but traced it. Does it matter whether she shows the photo she took or one from google if she's already admitted that she traced it and shown proof?

The photo she posted is not the photo she said she took. Why would she even mention that she took the original if she won't upload it? She lied and then backpedaled. It doesn't make her appear to be honest, which further perpetuates the idea that she has no problem ripping off others and lying about it. She should at least own up to her actions.

So I don't know this person, I am an artist, and generally I am very staunch about people not tracing and will gleefully rip into folks who trace or eyeball. Those are huge pet peeves of mine and I find them distasteful and dishonest. That's just a bit of background on me so you know where I generally sit.

That said, I actually side more with >>9206458 than anyone feeling outrage over this. There's some obvious inspiration, yes, but they also didn't JUST do a bunch of foxes in >>9206444 they did a whole lineup of animals. There's little doubt, IMO, that they find inspiration in the white cat artist referenced here, but finding inspiration from something isn't the same as directly tracing it or attempting to create a knockoff. I don't think it's productive to say they should list their inspirations also; if every artist did that, we would have to scroll past a ten page list before looking at ANYONE'S art. This person isn't the new kr0npr1nz or whatever.

Including yourself? You're not addressing how it's messed up that you expect someone to never defend themselves for the sake of "professionalism" while giving free reign to anons who can literally make whatever claims and reaches of logic they want. Telling us "hurr they should all be quiet" isn't a satisfactory response to that.

Nobody ever told Chokelate to shut the fuck up from posting here when anons were getting scammed out of their wig and tights deliveries. Or when she had quality control issues. Nobody accused her of lifting ideas from taobao when she started selling BJD tights. I remember being called jelly and vendetta for actually having valid critiques, not accusations of artstyle theft.
>People literally said they didn't want to buy from her on btb because of her posting her
But I bet they still glomp onto people like Chokelate and other e-famous lolitas who've admitted to posting here. Those people are imbeciles.

>inb4 I'm ESL or HBJ

I own three Peppermint Fox brooches and they look nothing like HBJ, nor are HBJ's brooches something I'd personally buy. The styles and colors are vastly different even assuming she did swipe the general idea. I would have never thought to link the two cat renditions together, either.

Can any of you guys help out a confused fatty chan? None of my jsks fit right even though I made sure the measurements were way above my own on lolibrary before I committed to buying. They all give me boobloaf and sit way above my natural waist (or else they sit at my waist and squish my boobs even worse) making me look even fatter than I am, despite that I have a 97 cm bust and these dresses are listed as being 105-120cm maximum. These dresses all have normal cuts too btw, nothing sacklike or empire waisted. What do I do? I know I will have to sell these dresses, but do I have to just get off brand custom made pieces forever if I ever want anything to fit nicely?

It can't be helped. Your boobs are pulling up the waist of your dresses so they'll all fit strangely. This is even more true I'd you have a belly since the seam will naturally shift towards the narrowest spot which may be right under your breasts. I'm not being sarcastic when I say the only solution is to lose weight.

Are you also above average (Asian) height? That can affect the fit a lot too as a larger bust already pulls the dress Up even if it is below max measurements. If any have adjustable straps, see if the dress fit improves when you move the dress past the point the straps reach, you may just need them lengthened.

I agree with you that not every artist should have to list their inspirations, but this is the second time HBJ has come under fire for making things that appear to be awfully close to the inspiration source with the intent to profit from it. If it were non-sale fanart it would be a different story, but as an indie brand, shouldn't they be prepared to show their receipts when asked? Transparency is important to potential buyers. I would like to know my money isn't going to a copycat should I decide to purchase from them in the future, as I did enjoy some of their original designs when they first started posting to cgl.

Idk man, I think she should just start a new shop with new designs honestly.

The hybrid poof monster is the one I have and it holds up well under layers of velvet as shown on the left here. I bought it over a year ago, in the hard tulle, and at the time I took these photos I think it was a month or two old. On the right is my sadly deflated bunny house one which was just over 6 months old at the time of review. I have to say that the melikestea one has held up very well - it gets stuffed in a shelf in my wardrobe and it still gives the same amount of poof as in those photos.
However since melikestea has such a huge waiting list it may be easier to get a hoop skirt and wear your current pettis over it.

/cgl/, I have a question.

I recently purchased an older brand dress for cheap on Lacemarket. The price was pretty good, so I thought there might be damages. But the description said that it was in good condition with no flaws.

When I received it today, I realized most of it is what I would describe as dis colored. The parts that are supposed to be white are a greenish sort of gray. It looks like someone washed it on hot and the other color bled and stained it.

I'm not sure what to do. The dress was cheap, but the seller mentioned no damages. The dress appeared to be white in the proof picture, and all other colors of the dress online shows it as being white and not gray. I'm not sure if I should wash it in cold water and see if that improves it, or if I should mention this to the seller, and if it should be noted in the feedback. I wanted to ask your opinions before I messaged the seller. I don't want to make a big deal out of nothing.

Some socks. Long story short I thought IW fucked up my first order because they never got back to me and hadn't invoiced me for it. One of the colorways I ordered was actually marked as Sold Out, so I thought I was out of luck for the first order. I put in the 2nd one because I really wanted those socks, even if they were in a different color, and then they finally invoiced me for the first order.

I'm sure I can sell them as they'll be new and unopened, I was just trying to avoid paying for shipping and such. It was 2 pair of socks so with shipping it came out to almost $75

Depends on whether or not you plan to keep the dress. If you want to return it, request a refund and give a review honestly and accordingly.

Generally you can keep an eye on the sales section of IW, whatever doesn't sell out there is what makes it into the LPs. If you love most of it, go for it. (Accordingly, if you bought a shitton of stuff off the sales, you run a risk of getting duplicates.)

you could always get malco modes Michelle (575) super fluffy petti and use another petti as a topper to cupcake the dress.

If Michelle is a little too fluffy then Madeline would be the next step down.

The only rules they even put out is "you get a button if you wear a lolita outfit" and "you get in the snap album if you wear a lolita outfit" that's it. But people are getting their panties in a twist over it and this Amanda chick is acting like a spoiled child.

Becausr she's TRYING and that should be good enough. Oh and she has a chronic fear she'll forget the event if she doesn't get a button, and she's to broke to buy an actual coord for the event but has an annual passport!

Why can't you understand anon, you're just trying to segregate and bully her!

This might be a little silly, but I'm planning on visiting the San Francisco shop for AP relatively soon. I'm planning on wearing lolita- but is that normal to wear into their stores? I know it'll be less efficient in the changing rooms, but I just don't want to stick out. Is it better to come in wearing normal street clothes?

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 6 21:19:56 2016 No.9212143 >>9212099 They won't care. They wear it in there anyway. People outside the store would be more likely to judge than people who are literally selling the fashion.

It's better to come in street clothes if only for the surrounding area. It's in the middle of the Financial District and normie shopping central (Union Square) so there's gonna be a shitton of tourists and regular people wondering why the fuck you're all dressed up. Tourists in particular might be obnoxious and try to sneak pictures (or maybe they just do that when we're out in groups, I dunno).

It's also uphill, depending on where you park or if you have to take public transportation.

Anyone got a list or know of a site that has a list of all the Peppermint Fox companion releases? Trying to make a wishlist and see if there's any I've missed.

Also has anyone ever seen any of them go up on second hand market?

>No new general.

I'm going to Japan in a few months. How much time do you think it'll realistically take for me to go through Shibuya109, Laforet, the Tokyo ClosetChilds (ikebukuro, harajuku and shinjuku) and maybe ETC shinjuku?
Cutting off Shibuya entirely is an option - I just want to do all of my clothes shopping at once.

Also my boyfriend wants to come and idk how they'll deal with a big burly gaijin man?

Okay, sweet. The plan is that, first morning back in Tokyo, my friends will go pick up late-arriving friend from Narita and I'll buy shit while they're gone.

I'm going over with only a couple of outfits for the first week in Kyoto and then have a $1600 budget for clothes, hueh.
