/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

What's the appeal of this closeted fag?
I'm not skimming through that cesspool of a thread to find out, but why do you bitches suddenly want a bodypillow of this tranny?

I think even PT could have higher standards than this.

Mr.Yan's lips look so kissable

>>7464187
>thinking we genuinely love him
stay new, pleb

>>7464157

You sure do got a pretty mouth.

mr yan looks like a 40 year old estate owner's wife

Someone should start a "Mr Yan So Dreamy fb fanpage.

Wow this thread went to shit quickly

>>7464223
I love Aqua

Did we ever get a Mr Yan So Angry sale after the Venus thing? I never heard anything about it if we did. Or, shit, what about a part two to Mr. Yan's amazing tale of "Venus is smelly".

>>7464291
The part two was him reporting them for tax evasion which made them move in the first place.

I bet Mr. Yan has custom body pillows made for himself with photos of all the model contest winners.

Tips on washing Bodyline? I'm about to throw my sax skirt into the washing machine with a bunch of other clothes, warm water. Is this totally okay?

>>7464317
You can wash bodyline like regular clothes

Ahoy, mateys!

>>7464187
We all like him ironically.
Like Bee Movie AMVs or sonic the hedgehog

>>7464358
Man, that looks fun as shit.

>>7464187
you honestly looked at a bunch of posts saying shit like "oh, Mr. Yan so dreamy~~" and thought they were serious?

>>7464291
We got lucky packs.

>>7464187
Haha, look at this newfag

Anybody own this blouse and want to share their opinions? I saw a seller's picture on lace market, and it looked way better than bodyline's shit stock photo.

How does it look worn, particularly on bustier girls?

Wait so didn't Yan-san do like a goth visual kei look a few years ago
Whats with this lady makeup Im so confused

Was anyone who got to hang with the yandyman lurking? I wanna hear allllll about it!

>>7465045
With pleats directly over the bust, in anything but black, it's gonna say 'hey, meet the girls!'. Maybe even in black.
Also shirred blouses belong under JSK only IMO.

Tl:dr, pix instead of wall of text in the thread.

>>7464291
Venus So Smelly sale

>>7465065
Jesus christ could you make that more eye searing and blurry please I think I can still see a little bit.

Too long; didn't read.

>>7465052
Polish Lolitas said Lady Sariel (that girl who spam-posts her mediocre handmade everywhere) did it to him. Poor guy.

>>7465045
Honestly with as much shirring it has it would only look nice under a JSK. If you wear it with a skirt your torso will look lumpy.

I hear the quality for this particular blouse is pretty good though. Some people say it's on par with BtSSB blouses.

>>7465065
You come off as overly pissy in this.

>>7465045
It's amazingly roomy for the bust. I'm a DD and there's no parting or tightness whatsoever.

>>7465083
Probably. But it's just an opinion piece for venting so...?

>>7465087
How is the waist fit?

>>7465092
I have this blouse too, the waist is epic. Very comfortable.

>>7465087
how accurate is the bust measurement, do the given measurements allow for stretch? I ask because I'm a few cm above the max bust measurement on the medium, but the waist measurement is too big on the 2L.

>>7465065
g2b __ifwinterends

Fucking A. I still can't confirm my BL order.

>>7464157
Oh God

From the thumbnail, I thought it was someone in a Japanese theatre mask.

May-July. Get ready USA...

>>7465260
please come to san japan then *_*

>>7465260
Please come to the east coast, Yandy man.

>>7465045
This is my fav blouse from bodyline, but it's really see-through and looks like shit with a skirt. It looks pretty under a JSK though.

>>7465071
>Venus So Smelly

He didn't really do that, did he? I was there when the video was first posted and discussed, but not for the fall-out.

>>7465045
I recommed it for both-under JSKs and skirts. The shirred part doesn't look so bad. It's pretty comfortable. Lace isn't great, it looks really cheap. Can post pictures later if you want me to.

>>7466047
I'd like to see pix. Is the lace scratchy nylon/poly? It looked like it might be.

>>7465065
>A bad coord with bodyline will almost always get the added poke of 'yeah and it's bodyline', where burando gets a pass there

You mean, bodyline ita's shitty coords chalked up to bodyline being trash and them not knowing any better, where as burando itas are laughed at and burnt more harshly for not being incapable to easily coord nice pieces.

>Bodyline IS a cheap costume store
Bodyline -was- a cheap costume store, and even then it's not as all around horrible as shitty brands like maxicimam or visible or marble that aren't costume shops that try to be lolita and just can't do it.

tldr; you're opinion is a shit, a great one.

>>7466093
I guess Yan didn't get the memo then because their Facebook business category says 'Costume Shop' even this morning.

>>7466099
That would imply that he views lolita as a fashion rather than a costume.

He's dense as fuck and you expect him to take lolita the way his customers do?

>>7466099
not that anon, but technically they do sell costumes as well as lolita, i think that they're trying to change the lolita side of things more and that's what anon was pointing out. you sure are clinging to the notion that they're shit though when anon pointed out tons of brands that are actually shit.

>>7466103
If he expects to continue to market to them he'd better from here out?

>>7466105
I don't deny it but I didn't see MAM holding a body pillow even this week either...

God, they changed the front page again, removing the FB stuff and adding tons of thumbnails, when will they learn a wall of text is not attractive.

Seems like they have a new model.

>>7466346
And learned that photoshop exists.

>>7466350

>>7466355

>>7466369

>>7466373
>>7466350
>>7466346
Wow, she's really cute.

>>7466375
way too cute for yan to cast her

>>7466049
I hope these will do.

>>7466049
Close-up for lace, I think it's made from something like cotton thread

>>7466442
>>7466453
The lace looks better than I thought it would, it just needs starching and ironing. The blouse looks good with a skirt on your figure, but I'm not sure would on everyone. I think it would look very good under a JSK though. Thanks for the pix!

>>7466350
See, now I'm kind of worried about the photoshop. Their stocks pics until now may have been horrid, but at least you knew you were buying what you saw. I really like the new model though.

>>7466373
>>7466369
>>7466355
>>7466350
>>7466346
Dem shoops mang. Look at her fucking empty nostrils.

>>7466495
>>7466502
It is rather filters on the face than proper editting.

>>7466506
That I'm fine with, and adjusting the lighting. But most importantly we need to see the clothing details clearly. I don't trust Yan-San not to sneak in the shitty lace if he can.

>>7466531
This. If all the new pics are going to be like this, we won't be able to see white fabric properly against the background. Too much light.

>>7466565
>>7466531
They always have extra mannequin photos besides the model ones at lolita dresses anyways.

>>7465260
Noo! I'm going to be in Mongolia from May to the end of July, and I want to see Yan. Things always work out this way.

LEAVE MR. YAN ALONE!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPea8HIO734&feature=youtu.be

>>7466615
Post your shitty videos elsewhere. This isn't funny in the slightest.

>>7466605
That sounds like a safe enough distance to see Yan from

>>7465045
I own this in white. Got size M and it's far too big for me. This is the only bodyline blouse I own that isn't too tight on the arms though

>>7464157

That face is the stuff of nightmares

>>7466442
I hope you wear a skin tone bra under this whenever you actually wear it cause gurl I'm seeing some red or pink peeking through. Such is the burden of white shirts/blouses.

It does look nice on you though, props.

>>7466615
needs more running mascara and bedsheet backdrop.

>>7466641
What are your measurements?

Fuck did I really just miss the sale by a couple hours. Did I really just procrastinate that bad.

>>7467806
The sale was just their punk accessory shit anyways.

>>7467813
No, their free shipping sale. It was site wide.

>>7467806
WOW I just checked the japan time zone, I'm literally forty four minutes late. Wow.

>>7467821
It was only free shipping. $10 off, big whoop. Just get your things anyway.

>>7466755
It's a given that light colored Bodyline blouses almost all need a camisole if not worn under a JSK.

>>7467827
I only wanted one or two small things. I might still do it, but it's disappointing.
Ten dollars stack up. Girls who buy starbucks every day say "It's just five dollars"

>>7467841
Yeah, I hear the Starbucks thing. If it was a small order that makes sense.
I thought you had a list and missed out. In that case, $10 would have been justified.

>>7465065
The body pillows are real???
oh, wait. No, I get it. April Fools, right?

>>7467932
We can only hope...
It's about the only way to gracefully get out of it now unless he pulls another Mr Yan So Furious.

>>7466350
what is the name of this kind of skirt? I would buy it, but still, I need it in purple.

>>7468162
Box pleated dirndl. But they aren't that common to find. There are a few commercial patterns for them if you sew though.

>>7464819
Thats most of the cgl userbase in a nutshell, retarded bitches taking sarcastic comments 2000% serious.

I don't even know how they can have dicks so thick up their asses.

:)))))))

>>7467932
>>7467940
No, they are real, you maybe should check the dates of posts.

>>7468679
I guess I was still hoping he'd announce that it had all been a joke.
I know it's dumb but it bothers me.

>>7467841
Yen trick.

>>7468685
It is still Mr. Yan we are talking about.

>>7468740
I know and I guess while everything was rumor and kind of behind the door, 'he said, she said' stuff, I could ignore it. Ah well, at least I didn't invest too heavily in BL, I can sell off what I do have as I replace it with decent things. I'm sure it's for the best but it's kind of depressing nonetheless.

remember that "mr yan may knock on your doors' joke? wel....

>>7469307
Oh shit, he has all our addresses!

>>7469307
*well
also, Lady Sariel stated that he is not creepy at all

>>7469307
seems like Lady Sariel invited him to her house. wtf. He is staying for a long time in Poland and seems to enjoy it. I wonder whether he will stay in other countries for a longer time too.

>>7469319
i felt so weird buying something from her

but it was cheap, so

>>7469323
omg the face of the guy sitting next to yan

omg

>>7469323
I'm on my phone now, but please, can someone make 'don't laugh send help' out of this?

>>7469339
Yeah, Mr Yan needs help here.

What's the sizing on these like? I remember reading somewhere they came up big.

My feet measure a little under 23cm with socks, so would a 230 fit ok?

>>7469384
I have those shoes and I'm a little less than 23cm with socks. I got them in 235 and they are way too big. I'd get a 230.

>>7469323
>>7469307
Mr Yan looks so happy here

>>7469413
>Mr. Yan
>happy
Absolutely disgusting.

>>7469404
Ok, thanks!

How long does air shipping usually take?

>>7469505
forever.

>>7469507
I think I put in my order on the 27th, I remember it was a couple days before the free shipping promo was over.

>>7469507
a little over a month

>>7469505
Takes two weeks for me, usually. I'm from the UK.
An order of mine got shipped out last tuesday, it's already in my country, now.

>>7470311
Okay, thank you. Mine's shipping to the US.

>>7469505
2 weeks to NYC pending Nee Yorks customs isn't being a sack of dicks. Could be up to a month if the customs officers are on the rag.

>>7469348
I feel sorry for him :(

>>7469384
If you wear a 23 in bodyline heels id go a size down. These are the only shoes where i fit a 25.5 because they're wide but i cant wear their heels for very long because theyre too small for me.

when I see what da fuq are Polish lolis doin' with Yan I feel urge to move abroad and burn any evidence I was born in Poland

>>7469507
>>7470289
it usually takes about a month for me. ordered on the 9th, it's not here yet.

>>7470580
Me too.

>>7470651
Which heels do you have? I have a pair of those 251's in 24.5. Buckling them up to the tightest hole, they fit alright, though a little loose. With socks they're almost filled, but I usually wear them with tights. While they're comfortable, there's visible gaping. (I'm thinking about trying my luck with a DT and seeing if someone has 251's in 24.0 but wants 24.5.)

I wanted to buy a pair of 274's (the simple maryjane heels with a bow on the toe), and I figured I should grab a pair of 24.0s this time. Am I making a mistake?

>>7470311
>>7470996
>>7470347
They ship starting on tuesday, right? Or did I luck out and it's actually wednesday/thursday?

>>7469505
Two weeks for me but then again I am from Europe and shipping from everywhere never takes longer than that unless it is stuck in customs.

I went on rakuten and my day was made

>>7469505

I ordered something that shipped on the 18th, it's here already. I live in California.

>>7471122
what it mean ?

:3

>>7471088
They ship tuesday japan time. Sometimes it seems like they ship out on mondays, but it's just the time difference.

>>7471226
Darn, there's no way I'd get my order on time if they're shipping on the 8th. Thanks for letting me know.

>>7469307
is that sariel in the middle? she looks like such a creepy little troll, yeesh. we all knew yan had awful taste but this is a new low.

Anyone got this? What's the quality like on it?

>>7471265
it's alright, the dress is made of cotton, serves as a bland dress on its own; the lace on the sleeves isn't so good but the sleeves themselves are elastic. the apron is cute.

>>7471251
yes, she invited him over to her house and showed him the city.

>>7471265
Basically what >>7471294 said. I think it's really good if you want a maid dress.

>still waiting on Bodyline order made on 3/13/14
>original order was in january but somehow the order didn't go through and never noticed
>tfw been planning order since like November
>tfw over 5 months of waiting for items due to bad luck, saving, and slow shipping
>both packages say they have only been sorted through the Tokyo facility, and are "transporting"

kill me

>>7471265
one day they'll restock this in pink. ONE DAY

>>7469505
Thank you, I'm also from California so that makes me feel a lot better about the shipping time.

How are bodyline's RHS? Dreamed that I owned some Westwood ones and it's given me a hunger but dat price tag

>>7466350
lol the shoop on her legs.

>>7471546
That's just the result of Bodylines's common cut-out technique.

out of every model they have, this one takes the fucking cake.

>>7471081
I think it might be... theyre very narrow. i wanted them but seeing them in store i knew they were about the same size as 272 and i owned them in 255 and it was really tight.. my feet are relatively narrow but i believe im actually 26 and bodylines 251 run big. So personally for you id probably try a 24.5 still.. but maybe someone else has something to say

>>7471681
She was the girl who claimed Mr.Yan wanted her to "kill her baby".

>>7472787
If she was in Japan on a work visa for her modeling, didn't want to risk being deported and wanted to continue modeling, I'm sure several people would have told her to consider getting an abortion. It's not that odd an option to suggest.

>>7472795
She was in China (abortions are probably way more common in China than Japan). She's the one that left China, quit, and then was pissed that BL didn't send her all her personal belongings. Probably a shitty idea for an uneducated teenager with a fairly decent employment opportunity (yeah BL is pretty shit but I doubt she could do better) to decide to quit and pop out a baby.

>>7472787
Lol are you talking about the thread where she said "sadly Mr.Yan is not prolife" ?

>>7472806
>employment

I thought that Bodyline doesn't even pay their models?

Or was that before they started doing the contests?

>>7472810
>>7472813
If you search 'yoshiko bodyline' the old story will pop up. At least the story she told.

I think it's more like 'she got preg, Mr Yan wouldn't keep her employed as model if she had to take off 9 months so she ran off and quit with no notice then cried when they wouldn't send her abandoned stuff to her at their expense.'

>>7472810
She wrote so much and her english is so bad, I don't really remember.

>>7472813
I'm a little annoyed with the whole "Bodyline doesn't pay their models".
1. They're not professional models
2. Even if you are into modeling professionally, you don't always get paid if you're a beginner, all get is experience and photos
3. They get a free trip to Japan, they even took Venus to Disneyland and an onsen

That whole "Bodyline doesn't pay their models" is bullshit.

>>7472916
Plus bodyline-chan wasn't just a model, she actually worked for the company and did other stuff. So yeah I would assume they were paying her lol.

>>7472813
She wasn't only their model but also their designer which was why their quality started to improve in the first place, before her Mr. Yan would design everything besides the design contest winners.

>>7472837
In China you can't take 9 months off, just saying.

>>7472962
Isn't Murakami the designer? I don't think Mr. Yan designs anything, he just approves of the designs.

does anybody have this cutsew? Is the lace okay and if my bust is 99cm and my shoulders are 40cm, will I still be able to fit into a 2L?

>>7473011
Murakami didn't work for Bodyline yet when Yoshiko was still working for them.

>>7471139
its mr. Yan on a horse

Newfag here
is pannier another word for petty? or another type of one? Are the ones on bodyline worth getting?

>>7473167
Pannier and petticoat are interchangable words for the same thing. Bodyline pettis are generally shit except for PAN078 and PAN056. If you want a cheap beginner's petti VictorianGirlDress on ebays are good for a cheap one. Classical Puppets are also good,but you have to order via a Taobao SS or Clobba/Qutieland.

>>7473183
Thanks a lot anon

>>7473026
Still, did Mr. Yan ever design anything?

>>7472813
I don't think modeling for Bodyline is considered real modeling. It's more like a free vacation with some unpaid work in-between. Real models have managers or agents and file work visas to be properly paid. It's illegal to be working or be paid while visiting Japan on a tourist visa.

Any pics of L217 worn? I'm thinking of getting it and altering it a bit but I want to see how it looks worn first.

>>7473183
different anon but you say the 078 isn't that bad? With the yen trick it's a little under $50 I'm very tempted to throw it on my order if it's worth the $50

>>7464224

UM
Dream of Mamiko!

The sun is setting on a chilly day.
It's slowly getting cold and Mamiko is getting hungry.
Mamiko has found herself lost in the forest, she's exhausted!

eventually she's feels so tired that she sits on the soft ground to rest. She hears the sound of footsteps near.

Mamiko turns her head to follow the noise. A person on a horse gallops through, she recognises the figure ''it's Mr Yan!''

she's saved!

Mr Yan told Mamiko he was on the way home to his palace, Mamiko asked him if he could help her escape the forest. Mr Yan happily showed Mamiko the direction she needed to go.

Mr Yan took a second glance and realised she was much too worn out to walk back and it was very cold.

It was a much better idea to invite Mamiko back to the palace for a much needed drink and some delicious polish soup<zurek>! At the palace Mamiko was kept warm by the stove and after polishing a bowl of zurek they danced in the palace grounds.

When she came back from her dream,
she would forever remember the magical tale of being rescued in the forest.

anyone get any of the cosplay luckypacks/know of any reviews? read some reviews off rakuten and a lot of people seem to have gotten some really good things but reading japanese gets a bit tiring

>>7478851
Someone here got one and got a ton of uniform bows. Like, at least a dozen of them. Someone else ordered one and got some costumes but had a few half-costumes like.. Len Vocaloid pants but no top.

>>7472916
This is making me wonder if it would be a good idea to do the model competition? I need a good vacation and I used to like to do amateur modeling for fun. How much of the Mr. Yan is creepy and gross in person is actually true?

>>7476271
>/mryansodreamy
>where is your kami now?
Liked.

>>7478954
I actually find him fun and pretty agreeable, if you're a drama whore who can't take a blunt personality, steer clear of him though.

>>7479308
>>7478954
>>7472916
Is this real life?
Is Bodyline monitoring this thread?
Are you guys young and inexperienced and can't read into a situation to save your life? Are you that desperate to get recognition/free travel?
What is even happening /cgl/, I don't get it.

>>7479316
We're not being naive and actually looking at things for what they are, rather than some shitty drama mongers hyped up story. The only thing we don't have to do is not lie about our weight and shit.

>>7479338
Exactly.

I work for bodyline, in the osaka store and I know for a fact that venus was a massive terror to work with and that Mr Yan is a genuinely nice (abet a bit ott and quirky) person.

When I told him about the post about him on btb's last night (I messaged him) he just shrugged it off and laughed and told me he doesn't care about gossip, he's just having fun.

If you're so pathetic that you have to pick on a guy who doesn't have the language skills to defend himself, I pity you.

Drama whores gonna drama whore.

>>7479350
I rather enjoy Yan-san, I'd like to have a life like that really. I wouldn't care about some randoms talking poo, I'd shrug it off and keep living life.
So what's it like to work there? Do they treat you well? I'd love to hear any funny stories if you have any.

>>7479350
So is the body pillow just a bad joke or will he really make them? That is embarrassing for some of us as customers, you know...

>>7479350
I kind of figured he knew what was up. At first I thought it was a funny joke that he was posting the body pillow, but then I started to think maybe he really didn't know that people wanted it as sort of joke/fun thing, so I ended up leaving the group as a sort of precaution. I didn't want to take advantage of his ignorance, but if he does know it's a joke and is just playing along, then I'll happily join again and get it. I think it's a hilarious idea.

MAGIC~!

>>7479400
Weren't you here a couple threads ago when the PR person said a million times to take it as a joke? Because that's how all the Bodyline staff see it? She/he even said that she/he tells Mr Yan almost everything we say about him on cgl - all the bodypillow opinions too. He responded that it's just a funny joke and that he doesn't care about the haters.

>>7479350
They pick on Peacockfeather, who is actually mentally disabled. The majority of the people here are shitstains.

>>7479427
who the hell is peacockfeather

>>7479427
I don't know if 'pick on' is the right word. I've never seen direct attacks like on the level koti received, most people understand that it's not something she can help.
it's more on the level of people slowing down to lookie-loo whenever they see a car wreck.

>>7479316
I find it pretty hard to believe that Bodyline has a foreign or at least nearly fluent English speaker who'd be willing to work for the #1 creep in the lolita world

>>7479432
Bad newbie-chan! Go lurk some moar!

>>7479350
Why would you tell Mr Yan about Btb? Do you think he needed to know? The only one starting drama is you.

>>7479489
You sound like one of those people that talk shit about others behind their back and when they are caught blame others instead of owning it up.

I'm not surprised Bodyline anon told him. He needs to know what's going on overseas if he wants to improve the image of his business.

>>7479469
Yes you understand it's something that she can't help and mock her anyway. The shit people did to Dakota was pretty gross too but again, most of the bitches here are gross inside and out.

>>7479529
Yan doesnt need to improve his image. No matter the image or rep, he will always have people buying his cosplay lolita.

>>7479374
Eh, my only real problem is people who think they can get away with posting private convos on the internet, that shit doesn't fly with me.

Work here gets pretty intense, but the japanese work ethic is much different to the european one, they work hard but play hard too, I've even been out drinking with the staff (and Mr Yan too on occasion), and everything's been great fun overall.

The pay isn't great but the perks of working in somewhere you're happy is worth it and I'm still living very comfortably.

My only real funny anecdote I can think of off the top of my head is when we got a visit from yan and he though it would be really funny to walk in with a pink wig and headbow on and he said 'Moe moe kyun! '.

>>7479385
He made a facebook because he thinks the western lolitas are really 'funny' with their gossip rather than the japanese who are very bitter and vengeful. The bodypillows for him started out as a joke, and he's still making them but it's pretty much really hilarious to him.

>>7479400
Yeah, don't feel bad, he's in on the joke. He knows he's not gods gift to women, in fact in real life he's quite self concious, but he's coming out of his shell using his sense of humour as a defense mechanism.

>>7479426
Nope, I'm a different person but I know who you're talking about and we know each other irl.

>>7479474
I'm fluent but not native speaker and he's not creepy at all, be open minded about people when you meet them, if you pay too much attention to drama you'll be paranoid of everyone around you.
>>7479573
+1 if anything all the negative attention is great free advertising, think of the hundreds of people talking about him and bodyline this week. His sales have been through the roof the last few days.

>>7479539
Dakota was a bitch and Peacockfeather was a stalker who showed up here to complain about her idol not wanting to be near her.

>>7479539
>The shit people did to Dakota
What did /cgl/ do to her? Make her famous?

>>7479316
I'm that anon, and I think he just doesn't seem too bad. All the girls who've met him and drama whores say he's nice, just a little awkward.
>>7479350
My thoughts exactly. Why would anyone take Penus's word on anything? And it makes me absurdly happy to know that he knows the jokes around him and still plays along. Plus he sounds kind of kawaii, being so awkward.

>>7480008
>My thoughts exactly. Why would anyone take Penus's word on anything?
It is not her 'word' rather than what Bodyline's staff says in her video but whatever floats your boat.

>>7478954
I guess it can be hard work, but if you like their clothes and have a proper working attitude, I guess you can have a good time.
If he's being a creeper, tell him to fuck off in a polite way.

>>7479406
Did she drama out too?

>>7480070
No, she was the contest winner from last year, you know, contest winners are always tempoary models.

>>7480087
I think she's the cutest of the bunch so far.

>>7480117
Their latest model looks way better actually and at last doesn't claim to cosplay Naruto with her family 24h.

>>7464374
b-but I like Sonic the hedgehog, anon.....

>>7479573
This. I kind of chuckle at all of the people posting here about how shameful the Yan pillow is and how Bodyline will never be a big powerful burando because of the jokes. That's not the reason Bodyline will stay second rate, the reason is the quality. Unless he ups that quality, Bodyline will never go anywhere on the value scale.

But Mr. Yan being a pretty upbeat guy and able to take a joke is something I can respect. Bodyline still won't be burando, tough luck, but his sales are doing pretty well currently from what I can tell, so I don't see the fuss.

So, print contest anon here. Frankly I'm about done with this. I submitted my print and won and I've been working with him to try to 'fix' it for months now. He's also using cheap printers and making me bring the color number down to 9 including background so 8 other than that. It's way too stressful and annoying, I'm an artist, not a designer, doesn't he have people for this?

>>7480708
What's your print?

>>7479792
Unrelated, but how did you obtain your work visa, if you don't mind me asking?

made an order on 3/9, I didn't get an email with a tracking number or that it's been shipped. is that normal? what do?

>>7481010
it usually takes about a week but you'll get it. The tracking number takes a while to work anyhow

>>7480708
We've known they use a 9 color printer since how long now? Several contests ago, at least. You'll have to work with them if you want your design produced.
This is why 'concept artists' don't make good choices unless a company has $ to burn on staff to bring designs to production spec.
As a fellow artist, I ask a few questions first, then design for the media my art will be produced on, not ass-backwards (though I know how, it's a pain).

Frankly for the return (vanity 'I had my print produced by Bodyline in the amateur design contest' cred and one dress), it's hardly worth more than a few hours spent on it.

>>7481019
But that anon literally ordered a month ago...

My order said it was dispatched from Tokyo at 04/02/2014 21:32, do you guys reckon it'll be here by around the 20th?I'm in Australia.

Seeing all these girls working at BL has made me wonder. Do you need a degree for a working visa in JP?

>>7481024
that was like two months ago i think youve got a problem last time i ordered two packages and it got here in two weeks and im in australia too

>>7481024
different places use date/month/year or month/date/year
are you talking about april 2nd?

>>7481047
>>7481049
second of the fourth.

>>7481061
youll probably get it since air shipping takes 2 weeks but it's not guaranteed

>>7481065
So I can still pray, that is good.

>>7479426
Nope, sorry, I must have missed that thread.

>>7481041
Nope, you only need to show proof that you have a job contract there already before applying.

>>7481023
Sorry, I wasn't clear. He had me change all the colors and then he realized it was too many so he's asking me to reduce them down again.

>>7479427
She has MS. that's not a mental disability.

>>7480150
Haven't seen her yet I guess.

>>7480704
>>7481669
Bodyline will never be a prestigious brand, and it doesn't have to.
It's a cheaper alternative to expensive brands.
I don't expect them to have super high quality prints, I just think they should do solid accessories and prints they can handle and that still look good with their means.

Mr. Yan is not an artist or a designer, he's a businessman with the ambition to bring cheap lolita and cosplay clothes to a broader audience.

>>7481661
You need a 4 year university degree to get a working visa or 10+ years experience. It isn't as easy to get a visa as you say.

So a few anons in a previous thread wanted to know about the bolero that comes with this dress. I caved and bought it while the price was lower and the shipping was free and it arrived the other day. I can post some pics later if anyone is interested, but I'll give the scoop on how it turned out now.

The bolero is made from a lightweight velveteen kind of material. It's not very thick or plush, but it isn't cheap looking and is comfortable to wear. The construction is lovely and it fits very nicely. It came with a clip on metal chain to fasten it closed which isn't visible in the stock pictures, which is a nice touch. Overall it's a great addition to my wardrobe and worth the money on its own.

The dress is also not as hideous as it first seems. The buttons are a bit floppy and I can see them falling off given time, but the dress itself fits well due to the corset lacing at the side. The material is heavier than I was expecting and overall the dress seems sturdy and well constructed. The print is upside down on some panels and not on others, although that isn't noticeable unless you're really looking for it. The text underneath the motif of the two little girls appears to say "LIL YAN HOUSE" which makes me smile every time I look at it. Definitely not a dress I would have bought on its own, but it looks good with the bolero and is a decent, toned down dress for everyday casual wear.

>>7482157
It is not like if she wasn't posted all over the thread ait the early posts.

>>7482166
Strange since all people I know living there with a working visa don't got anything like this, not to mention all those foreign idols/models that never worked before (best example: Dakota).

There must be 2 PR people. I was here in the past thread talking.

>>7482527
Modeling is different.

To get specialist in humanities or instructor (which is what most foreigners get) you need a 4 year degree. It's written on the Ministry of Japan's website.

>>7482525
Oh, that's her? I thought there was another caucasian girl.

ok so I just got my cosplay luckypack today and here's what i got:
-costume371 (love coloured ward luka dress and hat) 2999 yen
- costume242 (white/navy long sleeved sailor uniform came with the top and skirt but no tie) 2499 yen
-costume676 (snk eren came with the shirt, way-too-small trouser, and ALL THE 3DMG BELTS) 3999yen
-some red/black/gold plaid tie i cant be bothered looking for 300yen

total: 9797yen

paid 3000yen for everything so this is fucking awesome. i wished so hard for at least the 3dmg belts because i saw that someone on rakuten got it but i got the trousers and shirt too oh my god. the only downsides were that the eren shirt smelled like rotten fish which was disconcerting, and the trousers' hip is supposed to be 92cm according to the website; i dont know if it means it can fit a 92cm waist or the total waistband length is 92cm but im under 92cm and the total waistband length is 64cm so :/

if anyone wants pics or reviews id be happy to oblige

So I've just come back from the post office to pick up a parcel I didn't know I was due, and it appears that bodyline dun goofed and have sent me a dress I didn't order. It's actually really nice and fits really well so I'm pretty pleased with the error. Has anyone else had something similar happen to them?

>>7485654
Pics please! Did you get the damaged goods lucky pack that they're selling now?

>>7466369
Unrelated, but what anime is this from?
>sage for off-topic

>>7486209
Tamako Market, I believe.
I think that costume is the main character's little sister's uniform.

>>7486209
bakemonogatari

>>7486404
completely off oh my god, wow.

Just what the fuck is going on with AIR.

>>7466369
my precious snail loli~

>>7486404
Wronggg.

>>7486079
yes, i did. funny though coz none of the goods are "damaged", maybe the damage was the really bad smell of the snk cosplay and the size of the trousers haha. ill upload some pictures later!

>>7482501
post pics
I've actually liked this jsk for a while and thought it'd be really cute for a more casual/otome look

>>7487438
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=5715&pageNumber=6&pageStop=stop_4&noSubType=N the stock photo is very accurate, i just have really bad lighting in my room and my mannequin's too big for the dress. the lace is kind of floppy and ugly though. forgot to mention, i also got the knit thigh-highs.

>>7487438
www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct.asp?id=1006&pageNumber=3&pageStop=stop_4&noSubType=N again the stock photo is spot on, but i didnt get the tie and the buttons on the cuffs are black which i like better anyway. the thing that holds the necktie is easily removable (which is good coz i dont imagine many people to be a fan of the embroidery). the skirt is has an inner pocket and an adjustable skirt hook insert-y thing which is really nice too. definitely worth the 2499yen

>>7487479

>>7487480
ill post pics of the tie and the snk cosplay after i finish airing it out

>>7487476
Of course they'd give out the sucky versions of this costume before the good ones.
Looks like you hit the jackpot with >>7487479
though.

At the very least you can resell what you don't want and make some money back.

>>7480992
100% of the time you're working in japan the company will take care of it for you. Bodyline did the same for me

Has anyone here bought Bodyline wig w059?
I'm having trouble finding reviews and non-stock pictures.

I'm probably being a total dumbass here but what does it mean if my order is Posting/Collection in Chiba?

>>7489484
It's probably fine. I have a bodyline wig that's in the same price range and is near the section where that wig is, and it's fine. Feels nice. You just have to be careful and don't let it get too tangled.

>>7489546
It's being sent/sorted through for shipment from the Chiba prefecture.

>>7491275
Ah okay, thanks!

the seifuku is from bodyline so I hope it's okay to put it in this thread.
anyways, I got a different colour than what was on the site, any ideas on how to lighten it or dye it without staining the white?

>>7491906
Whoa, did you get it through a defective contents LP? That looks olive green, obviously nowhere near mint green. There's no way they're selling that regularly as their "light green" sailor fuku... right?

>>7491906
Haha! Are you me? My bodyline package arrived yesterday and I was so disappointed by the color of the seifuku. I wanted kawaii mint, darn it!

>>7491927
No I bought it by itself. They are selling it as light green. I posted on their wall and even sent them a message
>>7491940
Okay, so i'm so glad i'm not the only one ! It's really disappointing

>>7491906
wow I actually really like that color

>>7491952
If i don't get a reply from BL would you consider buying it? it's never been worn before and it's still in the plastic bag, i've only taken it out to take pictures. (I'm sorry if it seems like I'm forcing it on you, I just want it gone ; _ ;)

>>7491967
What size is it?

>>7491973
Size S

>>7491942
Wow. That's highly disappointing, the mint looked so cute...

>>7491976
Ahh I'd probably need an M or an L, sorry anon! Best of luck.

>only S and 4L in stock
ugh

>>7491994
It is, when I told them, they just said its because their pictures had flash and mine didn't, that's bs.
I took pictures with flash and even filters ad it still doesn't look like it does on the site. I sent the pictures to them and I'm waiting for a response.
>>7492008
It's okay, thank you ;;;

>>7489484
I've ordered it and will let you know when it arrives.

>>7489484
I have that wig! It's surprisingly good quality. It tangles easily, but other than that I really like it.

>>7492016
I'm guessing they're ignore my messages because I saw the little "✔ Seen at " symbol, and when I checked back later, it was gone so I'm guessing they marked it unread

>>7492016
What is the fabric composed of? If you are desperate, I would full out dunk it in a bucket of mixed bleach and water. Wash it properly and then dye it with a mint dye from dharmatrading. In my experience, their dyes are true to color. If the whole thing is polyester you probably can't do this though.

>>7492079
You gotta post directly on the new bl facebook page
Something like
"Yan-sempai, I got this kawaii school uniform but the color is off :< all I wanted to do was take cute photos to show mr. yan-sama but now I can't! save me mr. yan!"
that should do it

>>7492109
Its polyester so I don't think its possible. Thanks for the information though , I'll look up the dye for other projects.

Try adding Mr Yans account rather than the Bodyline one. I managed to strike up a conversation with him on there.

Just search for Fan Club Bodyline.

>>7492016
I like the color it is, but if you were expecting the color in the pic I can understand you're disappointed.

Looks like Bodyline is having another free shipping campaign for a couple of days.

Does someone bought this dress? I'm tempted to buy it, but the cloth seems like cheap table dress to me. Does it fit well?

>>7492236
I have the left version in black and pink and its pretty cute actually.

>>7492136
The colour isn't what bothers me the most, its just their shit customer service
At this point, I just want to sell it to get a new one in a colour i actually want.

>>7492236
I'm sorry, but it's tacky as hell. Bodyline threads double as ita threads, imo.

>>7492236
I saw two girl wear this yesterday in two different colour ways and it just looked cheap and not shit per say but not very nice.

>>7492585
So what you're saying is it looked like typical bodyline? Not the best quality but not godawful?

>>7492593
maybe a bit more average. I own nicer looking bodyline pieces. I don't think it's a dress you will ever see looking really nice, some of their other stuff could, if coorded correctly.

>>7480458
As long is you're not a sperglord you're good to go

anyone order this blouse? what's the quality like? is the sizing accurate?

>tfw 1cm too big for the 2L ;_;

>>7491976
Anon

Anon I'll buy it.

I love that color, and I need a size S.

>>7492798
Okay, thank you so much! How should i contact you?

>>7492777
https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/cgl/thread/S7416933#p7445614
i asked about this blouse in an earlier thread.

>>7492805
Email's in the field!

>>7492812
Sent, thank you!!

I only own bodyline shoes and the one bodyline shirt I had was too big and not very good quality. I was wondering if it is worth buying some bodyline pieces to wear on more casual days?

Like either l353 or l325. I have also heard good things about l310.

I'm planning on getting an atelier pierrot corset bustle skirt, but haven't had any luck finding one.

How is the quality of the items I mentioned?

>>7491274
>>7492051
Thank you guys.Tangling was my first concern but hopefully it shouldn't be too bad if I look after it.

>>7492034
I'd appreciate that!

>>7492777
Which measurement is too big? I got it in a L, which is apparently 2cm too big for my waist and 2cm too small for my bust and it's a perfect fit. Quality is fairly decent, 100% polyester but feels like a nicer one. One of BL's better blouses.

>>7493000
L325 is lovely. Fabric isn't the greatest and the boning in the waist is plastic but it's definitely one of BL's best pieces. Same goes for L310. I don't have L353 so no comment there.

>>7493055
Thank you anon I will consider getting them. Do they come up often secondhand or is it better to just buy from the site?

>>7493060
Occasionally, but I'd say get them new. I think they're currently fully stocked in all colours. Use the yen trick and take advantage of Mr Yan's kindness in giving us free shipping gain :)

>>7492808
none of those comments have anything to do with sizing.

>>7493052
my bust. it says its 94cm but mine is 95cm (92 if i wear a sports bra though). knowing that helps a lot. thanks! which color did you get btw?

Guys, I can't find the menu to do the yen trick anymore.

Did Mr. Yan finally catch on and fix it?

Or am I just retarded?

>>7493173
You're just retarded.

I ordered stuff shipped via Airmail on March 9th, it's not here yet. I'm in the US. Should I be concerned? Last time I did an Airmail order it came within a month.

>>7493187
What does the tracking info say? I did an order not long after that and it ended up sitting in customs in NY for like 11 days or something ridiculous. Only just left NY yesterday, so I still don't have mine either.

Hey guys!

I never bought anything from bodyline before, but I heard about it. My feet are a size 9 and I was wondering would I be able to fit in their shoes?

>>7493271
Size 9 where? US? UK?

>>7493271
yeah size 25 or so

>>7493146
well excuse me for providing some comments about the quality of it. Let me go email all of those anons and ask them about sizing, just for you okay?

>>7493271
it's better if you measure the size of your feet by cm, and then find an international shoe size chart and match the size of your feet in cms to the Japan chart. You should try to find reviews of the shoes you want though. Some of the shoes run too big or too small sometimes so it'll help get you the right size.

But yeah I'm a 9.5 and I use 255 so a 25/250 would probably work for you. Some of the shoes don't carry large sizes or don't have them in stock anymore though. Good luck, and also since you're new to bodyline, don't forget the yen conversion trick to save some money!

When did the new free shipping campain start?

>>7492238

This print and style is very cute, indeed. I just tend to dislike this kind of cloth. I don't think it will fit well in me, that's why I'm so hesitant.

>>7492421

People like different thinks. I still think the print is cute.

>>7492585

Sounds like normal bodyline quality. I don't own any bodyline dresses, and maybe just maybe this one could be useful in a meeting I'll attend. Silly as it sound, it's fandom themed.

I want to make an outfit, but I don't want to buy an actual brand to use in there, so I think this could be an cheap/cool option, cause it's almost lolita costume to be.

>>7493226
I never got any shipping or tracking info. :(

>>7494647
It's on their site, you enter you e-mail to check your order status

>>7492777
>>7492808

I got this blouse in black and it's amazingly comfortable and pretty! I'd be careful, I feel that the elastic on the arms could be uncomfortable for seagulls with big arms. But, it looks great in or out of lolita and has nice material and lace.

>>7493000
Anon, I'm selling a navy Atelier Pierrot dress. It's the strapless OP so I don't know if you'd be interested, but it's a beautiful piece. My email is in the field.
