/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

How do I take advantage of the sale? Are the prices listed already discounted?

So far I've gotten bodyline packages #1, 2, and 4 of 5. Where is 3? It's concerning. I have the matching tote for l547 now but not the dress.

Also, I got l387 in black and like it a lot. I want to get it in other colors, but I read that the chiffon and cotton parts are noticeably different colors for the blue colorway. Anyone know if the other pastels have the same problem? Or does bodyline just not understand sax?

I messaged Yan about restocking the macaron and soft cream jsks. I think you guys should message him about dresses you'd like to see back on the site.
If the customers become more involved I'm sure bodyline could be stocked with some pretty decent (if not overly available) stuff.

>>8220110

Thank the nine divine, I want soft cream so bad it hurts.

>Ive been thinking of messaging him
>Did you just message his facebook?

I'm waiting for my black carousel jsk, but dhl is leaving me hanging here (they're doing the national part of airmail delivery here).

>order shoes on sale, yen trick, free air shipping
>order on 20th march, arrive 30th march
>just shipped in box but box isn't even dented
>even though I thought I got a size too small because mine ran out, they fit perfectly, so comfy.
Everything I've ordered from bodyline has come really fast, though the last time was like 2011. Thanks Yan.

>>8220110
I would ask if they would restock the shoes I want that are all out of stock but I don't have a Facebook account or nothing. Ugh I want those RHS with the straps to hold your feet in but I'm scared they won't ever be restocked.

I would love to see the macaron JSK and skirt get restocked. I think I'd prefer to own the skirt version personally. I haven't seen it around in a really long time though so I doubt it would happen.

I wish Bodyline would carry nicer socks. Maybe sone different kinds that are actually Lolita appropriate instead of some of the junk in stock now. I love their lace topped socks, both knee high and over the knee, but I wish Yan would discontinue them in favor of nicer cotton lace ones instead. I don't want to pay $25-$30 for a single pair of socks from the big brands when I know they're gonna wear out and get old just as fast as any other sock.

Any reviews/opinions on the following products?

>tfw I want that macaron print so bad anon

>>8220437
what was that macaron print?

>>8220454

I need a fucking gold shoes
God please

>>8220437
I misread this as macaroni print

>>8220055
Prices are already dropped.

>>8220110
I private messaged him about both as well but never got a reply.

>>8220560
I think the more people that message him in a short amount of time he might feel there's a sudden demand and do something about it.
So if everyone messages him about these dresses in April he may restock them by late may.

>>8220459
>All this fuss about a Marcaron dress
>Sees pic
>instant lust
wtf why have I never seen anyone wearing this? Yan I want one, fix this shit.

>>8221005
It would be amazing if they released it in pastels like pink or light blue opposed to the harsh blue original.

Just got my order, Holy shit my shoes are comfy as fuck!

By this point I'm almost certain my package is lost to oblivion. Post office people have no clue where it could be

>>8221132
I just reordered my stuff. If it comes I'll just sell it

>>8221207
What is this??

>>8221132
If it's out for delivery and never arrived then your postal worker stole it or tossed it.

>>8221492
I just got an awful image of the fat old lady who delivers my mail and the old black dudes who work inside the post office trying on my dresses

>>8221026
What shoes did you get?

>>8221492
Or a neighbor stole it. Contact your local postmaster.

>>8221587
Someone drew art for that scenario.

I'm about to order a pair of shoes, should I chance it with AIR or go for EMS?

I've never had mishaps with AIR before but they DO take forever.

unicorn print?

>>8220110
Speaking of cute dresses Yan should bring back...
>pic related
It's a fucking cute dress and you should try to get it and wear the shit out of it.

Gulls, is this normal? I usually make bodyline orders on monday for making sure the send it the next day, but iplaced this one on tuesday

>>8222199
oh gad. I like this much more than most of the BL prints

>>8220459
This has to be my favorite Bodyline print, if that's even a thing. Very vibrant print.

>>8222199
This has like glitter on the print, but I think it's a commercially available fabric because I saw some ebay dresses (a long time ago) using the same candy print.

>>8222199
This is so hard to get a hold of in mint but if you snag it, it'll be your best friend.
I was lucky enough to get one and despite the amazon of a model they used the dress just hits my knees and I stand at 5'7". And underskirt wouldn't kill it though.

How are bodyline's fake lashes? There are some pairs that are only 80 jpy so I'm thinking of stocking up.

>>8222210
Yes, it's normal. There's a sale going on, orders are always going to be backlogged and the postal service is ten times worse.

I bought L379 on February 15th, shipped on 18th and package was on my hands at February 30th. Aww I think I gonna purchase that particular body pillow.

>>8220003
What do you mean by another sale being around the corner?

>>8223106
Look at OP's pic. That's not the sale that's advertised now on Bodyline's website so there's another one coming. But it's for the same discount so it's less of a second sale and more of a sale extension.

>>8223168
Ooh, thanks.

Do they ever restock anything? Fucking ever? all the good shoes are out of stock.

Has anyone ever ordered from bodyline rakuten?
I want to..But if I click add an item to cart it's not working?

Are there any other hidden catagories other than wrist cuffs on bodyline? I remember I wasn't able to find it through the site because it's not listed in the categories, but an anon posted it in a thread once.

>>8223624
Er, where are the wrist cuffs on there? - Clearly so well hidden I had no clue about their existence/ I'm really that dumb.

>>8223630
Here you go, anon:

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showType2.asp?type=Lol&subType=Sto

I have it bookmarked just in case.

>>8223624
There's a bonnet category as well

Upcoming blouse, which I think is kind of cute in the sleeves and neckline [though lets not talk about the torso area].

>>8223668
Upcoming JSK using one of their nicer dress patterns. I like that they tend to re-use patterns, at least when its nice ones.

>>8223668
That is pretty cute.

>>8223670
An another upcoming JSK made with a similar pattern which I'm really contemplating getting.

>>8223654
link please?

>>8223668
I... really like this. I'd wear it under a JSK anyway, so the torso doesn't bother me.

>>8223630
There's no link on the site itself for some reason. I have no idea why

>>8223674
I don't even like sweet lolita, but I would totally get that.

>>8223674
Wow, I'm really into this dress, it's cute. I guess I'll be making my first bodyline order when this is released.

>>8223670
>>8223674
Really liking the spring look to these.

>>8223674
fuuuuuck I love this so much. and I have one of the dresses in this cut, it's really cute. I'm definitely buying this, maybe the other one too.

>>8223654
Where might I find these mythical bonnets?

>>8223668
>>8223674
Is that blouse chiffon? Also, when might these be released? Buying that jsk for sure

>>8223833
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showType.asp?type=Lol&subType=Bon

I got this just by looking up "bodyline bonnets".

>>8220110
I wish he would restock L325. I've been looking around for that skirt for ages.

>>8220390
This. I would be more willing to buy their footwear if their socks were nice and they sold printed tights.

>>8223674
OH MY GOD I NEED IT

>>8223834
Looks like it is, and generally thing take 1-2 weeks after showing up on rakuten to being available for sale.

>>8223668

Jesus, slowly but surely their blouses are improving, more chiffon please. Might buy this in all the colors.

>place order with the free but slow-as-hell airmail shipping option exactly 2 weeks ago
>casually check the tracking today while checking a few other packages
>by wednesday it had apparently already arrived in the country and cleared customs
>will be delivered once delivery service resumes after the easter weekend

Pleasantly surprised to say the least, I was bracing myself for a horrible wait time

>>8223668
>>8223670
>>8223674
crap I like these....

Anons I need some quick help! My friend and I both ordered from bodyline around the same time during the sale (I ordered a week before her). She received her package around 5 days ago and mine still says in transit- we both got AIR. Is there any reason she already got hers and mine is being slow as fuck? We also live like 5 minutes away from each other so it's not about location.

looking to buy some simple skirts for more casual/daily wear, currently considering pic related in a few colours. you gulls got any feedback/other recommendations? Thanks!

>>8224701
Hers got on a different plane while yours got unlucky and still somewhere in Russia waiting for the next ride?

>>8224703
The fabric looks like an underskirt.

>>8224703

Get that floral skirt that everyone wears.

It looks great and is so versatilel. I don't even buy bodyline but that skirt has tempted me at least several times.

>>8223670
>>8223674
The fabrics are so darling but the cuts are meh. I hope there are some skirts otherwise I will butcher the hell out of that dresses

>>8223668

Blouse looks like a decent poor man's version of that millefleurs blouse. I might get it.

>>8223668
Damn, I usually dislike scoopneck blouses but depending on the price I may have to cave for a few of these...

>>8223674
>>8223670
>>8223668
Shit, this is cute. They have definitely been improving.

>>8222199
I actually still have the skirt and tote, after so many years

>>8224754
I have another dress in this cut and it's actually my favorite of BL's cuts so far. It's not exciting, but it's cute and flattering.

>>8224703
I own this in black and I really like it. It's a little heavy so you may need a petti with a bit more poof too it. Sorta thought about getting brown for casual stuff..but I didn't.

>>8224710
not terribly worried about that, but thanks for the heads-up! if it's too much like an underskirt irl i'll probably just use it for more normalfag outfits, have it peeking out from knit sweaters, etc

>>8224736
i've seen that one everywhere for a while now and while i like it on other people i still don't think it's won me over enough that i could see myself wearing it regularly

>>8224895
duly noted, petti layering it is!

might just give in and get l325 as well in, it seems to be the staple black skirt in so many wardrobe

Seagulls, I know how y'all feel about Bodyline pettis, however I just want something to wear casually and that doesn't have a lot of poof to it, just enough to be able to wear the dress, really. Are there any you recommend of their whole lot?

>>8225007
wondering this too, was looking at a couple of the $8-15 range ones for casual poof

>>8225007
>>8225012
Seriously, just get one from Ebay. Same quality for a much cheaper price.

Are bodyline's wristcuff's wortwhile? I'm thinking of acc1031 or 1078

>>8225659
They are okay, and some might have slightly better lace than others. I feel like they are a big too big for my hands though. I have used some of them as sock toppers.

I have tons of bodyline tutus for fairy kei, I could take some worn pics later on if anyone is interested. I don't have any lolita dresses to layer over them though.

>>8223674
Oh, I love this one!

>>8225099
The poof level on VGD isn't right for what's being requested, though. Way too much poof.

in the market for a boater hat. If I take off the polka dotted ruffle, would it serve ok?

>>8225737
>ebay
>immediately equating with VGD
>anon pls
i think they're saying just to buy some cheap party store-tier stuff for a couple bucks. same quality, but even cheaper

>>8225750
I have that hat and its fine. the bow is a bit squished a bit but its a nice hat.

>>8225766
I actually have Leg Avenue's short, low-poof petti, and it works as more of a very small, compact cupcake petti. Not at all the shape/poof needed.

Again, this is a Bodyline thread, can people not just answer the specific question about BL product being asked?

>>8225786
Do not buy a bodyline petticoat because they are bad quality and you will be wasting your money. Petticoats from bodyline will deflate very quick and are a waste of money.
If you buy a petticoat from ebay, it will be cheaper for the same or possibly better quality.
If you buy a bodyline petticoat you will feel very sad because of its very bad quality.
You want a petticoat to "wear casually and that doesn't have a lot of poof to it"? You can get that from Ebay.com.
Do not waste your money on bodyline petticoats.

>>8225775
Thanks anon!

anybody own this? I can't decide if I think it's cute or ita as hell.

>>8226053
would be cute with an old school sweet coord.

>>8225683
Yes, that would be very helpful. Worn pics under a light skirt/dress would be awesome. Thank you, anon, for actually answering what is being requested.

>>8225811
Then how about recommending one, since you are so absolutely certain that a random ebay petticoat will be completely superior to a Bodyline one and exactly what is being asked for? Just randomly picking anything off ebay is a lot dicier than specific items from a specific store.

Holy shit. Ebay petti anon don't bother linking to specific pettis, let this salty bitch unnecessarily spend more of her damn money

>>8226348
>getting this mad over Bodyline not being a good idea for a minimal poof petti

Anon, Bodyline may have better quality than Ebay but you're going to shell out $30 for a cheap Halloween tier petti on there that barely gives poof (like you wanted) when you could buy the same kind of poof from Ebay by getting one of those short 3-layer pettis or even buying two super cheap (talking under $5) pettis and layering them.

>>8226374
Nobody is mad, anon. I'm simply looking for someone to answer the question and give personal experience with BL pettis which was actually asked, rather than parroting what they've read on the threads before, and finally one anon has offered. So cheers but no thanks. Also not sure where you are getting $30 from when it's already been stated Bodyline's cheapest, low poof pettis are $8 with free shipping.

>>8225007
Closet Child's Chiffon Petticoat is perfect for that. The photo they use actually makes it look fluffier than it is, it's a little shorter than average and it's minimally fluffy, perfect for otome. I think it cost me $17 not including shipping?

>>8226395
>mfw pic related is the cheapest 'low poof petti' they're talking about

>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Women-Girls-Tutu-Princes-Fluffy-Pettiskirt-Skirt-Part-Petticoat-Short-Dresses-/171730001022
$3.99 + free shipping

>>8226395
I myself have never owned a Bodyline petti, but I've heard from other girls that on top of having no volume, the Bodyline petties are super scratchy and uncomfortable. They will ruin tights they're so scratchy. I don't think the cost of the Bodyline petti is worth the ruined tights.

Excuse the terrible pictures, I'm actually still in my PJ shirt and my room is being renovated so it's a mess right now. I also don't actually currently own any lolita skirts, so I went with a reasonably light normal skirt.
The tutus I'm wearing are PAN017 and PAN016
017 is veeery short, would not recommend for lolita. 016 I've worn alone for a casual meetup with a very light chiffon AP dress and it looked fine, but I had to wear some very soft bloomers underneath because they're very scratchy against skin, even through tights.

>>8223677
http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showType2.asp?type=Lol&subType=Bon

Does bodyline have any wine colored shoes? Do their reds variate like the other colors?

>mfw Bodyline order shipped by registered airmail arrived in one week

>>8226397

Not that anon, but I will definitely be getting one then!

>>8226374
The $10 "25" swing petticoat" or whatever works really well. I own it and it's gotten a bit deflated, but only after 2 years.

Anyone know if there's gonna be a shoe sale again any time soon?

>>8225750
If you have a big head it won't fit nicely

>>8226740

I'm hoping they restock on those flat mary jane shoes first, I've been wearing things more casually and need nice flat loliable shoes for walking around in.

>>8223668
>be me
>want to get into lolita, but afraid of spending money and don't want to if I have nowhere to wear it

>see this

>throw all those thoughts away

when can I buy this

>>8223668
This isn't a new blouse, you're all new as fuck. It's 2+ years old.

>>8227042
Anon, I think you're thinking of this blouse. Same thing, yes, but new colors and new material. As you can tell by the pictures.

>>8223668
>>8227042
>>8227152
The new versions are softer fabrics. They don't look as stiff and terrible as the old ones.

>>8223668
Ah fuck. I was totally on board with this blouse until I saw how the elasticised sleeves on Venus looked in this one >>8227152

Guess I can always chop the sleeves short.

>>8227386
It doesn't look too bad in the model pic for the white one. Venus just scrunched them all up.

>>8226434
They aren't <that> scratchy that they will ruin your tights. I have two from Bodyline, one that I bought and one that came in the great lucky pack shitstorm of 2014. The lucky pack one was pretty decent and is still going (it's a mix of multi layers of tulle and chiffon). It must be a discontinued one because I can't see it on the website.

The other one I got for like $20 or something deflated pretty quickly. It was made of a soft gauze material so no wonder. I have since sewed in some spare tulle I had in between the layers and it competes with a Classical Puppets petti I own.

>>8227152
Gawd, that's terrible. The new material makes a huge difference.

Should I be worried if my shipping hasn't updated since March 21st? It's left Japan and it's still in transit. I'm in Canada Ontario and I used AIR.

>>8228528
No, don't worry anon. AIR is slow and bad at updating tracking numbers when they should. Also an ontariofag and I normally don't check mine at all until at least 2 1/2 weeks have passed, otherwise you just get uneccessarily obsessive/panicked about it. Once it reaches canada, the tracking gets considerably better though, I can assure you.

Anyone got this blouse? It looks plain enough to be good, and I just want a straightforward black blouse.

This dress along with a few other kids dresses finally came in! It looks so cute, but unfortunately it's too short to be lolita. I can wear this one casually, but I think I'm just going to gift my other ones to my little cousins. At least they were only around $10 each.

>>8226534
IIRC some anons whom ordered the dred" (dark red) shoes have said they're the dark red color if the bodyline shoe boxes. I don't know how dark you want though. Otherwise I don't think they do a super dark red.

I wish they did navy blue shoes that wrre lighter blue. And mint green instead of this ugly apple green they keep doing.

>>8228588
I own that in white, it's polyester, so it wrinkles so easily, and the elastic on the upper arms can start to get annoying after long periods. The arm length runs short too, even with the lace.
In the end, I shortened the sleeves to a short sleeved blouse and reduced the lace length on the collar.
It's about a 6/10 blouse , crinkles a little when you wear it but if you shorten the sleeves it gets to about 7/10

The blouse for baby's first coord came today. I'm not going to wear the wig I've got on, it was just the easiest one to toss on for photos. Go easy on me, anons.

The blouse for baby's first coord came today. I'm not going to wear the wig I've got on, it was just the easiest one to toss on for photos. Go easy on me, anons.

>>8226053
Fuck that looks like some Maxicimam style cuteness

>>8230771
Shoes don't match
The rest its fine

>>8230771
it's decent! I think you need a better petticoat, some more accessories, and ideally shoes that match better. It's a good start, just a little boring right now.

>>8230782
Yeah, I got pic related but they're too dark for the dress. Just there were no other options in a lighter brown. Have you got any suggestions?

>>8230787
The one I have is super deflated so yeah, I do need a better one. Even if I already feel like a marshmallow in this one. I'd need an A Line, right? I tend to get everything off Ebay right now since my convention is next month so I'll see what I can find. Isn't there a big brand for pettis on Ebay? Victorian-something?

As for accessories, I have a Wonderland themed charm bracelet and a ring but I hadn't worn them for the pictures.

Does anyone own P330 in either colorway? I need to know how true to color the blue is and if it's a good shirt in general.

>>8223674
Ugh, it's driving me crazy how high-waisted most of Bodyline's newer releases seem to be. I have a very low but defined waist and I usually find this to be one of the few shapes of lolita dresses that actually flatters my figure. I absolutely love this, but judging by the picture, I'm afraid the waist would hit somewhere in the middle of my rib cage. Depending on the price, I might contemplate chancing it.

Did anyone from europe / germany buy something from bodyline via airmail? How long did it take?

I'm always reading here people wait up to 3 months for their packages and I need my stuff until the 21th of may (still 6 1/2 weeks to go).

>>8232414
I'm from Spain and always taked 2-3 weeks

Anyone own these and have an idea how the size runs?

I was thinking they were quite elegant despite their chunkiness and good for old-school looks. I can't find much in the way of reviews or worn pics though.

This is a really bodyline noob question but is 2L just like an L? Ive always bought M size but would it be worth it to buy a 2L blouse if theyre usually short on me (short to the point where i can only wear them with JSK) and have it loose on the bust and waist?

>>8220494
PLEASE MR. YAN GIVE US A MACARONI PRINT

>>8232499
There are always the measurements in cm with each produkt. In the last time I feel like Bodyline got more true to measuremtns so just go for that and it should be fine.

>>8232419
WHen did you order?

>>8232414
Fellow German here.
I've ordered from them on 22nd March, got shipped two days later and it arrived on 01.04.
Mind you, I didn't get hit by customs, because my order came out at 23 € total.
The only time it happened, there was a week delay.

If they don't fuck anything up, you should have your order well before the 21st of May.

>buy pair of size 24.5 rocking shoes, too small
>assume it's because they're flats
>be safe and buy size 25.0 for next two pairs of flats
>mfw I can stick my finger into the gap in the back when I wear them

Damn your inconsistent sizing, Bodyline!

>>8232595
Ironically I'm 245-250 and have really fucking annoying problem feet. Finding shoes that don't kill them is almost impossible even with a fitter. I sold all my lolita shoes that I had for years and could never wear then decided to take a chance on Bodyline because what's the worse that could happen? Of course, they just happen to be perfect. Now I have ONE pair of wearable lolita shoes and I'm scared of pushing my luck any further.

>>8232615
Well, you can always buy shoes from the FB Bodyline sales. That way you know how they fit size-wise.

>>8228704
wow this is another case of bodyline needs better pictures!!! i love this dress and may have to buy it now

Probably a really idiotic question but... are all prices reduced at the moment?
I don't understand Bodyline sales at all.

>>8232668
Yes, prices are reduced. Usually everything ends with 99 or 55. You'll know when stuff is on sale because the prices look wonky and random.

>>8224703
I had it and the quality was pretty nice, but i didn't like the fact even with a medium poof petti was still a bit flat. So i sold it.

>>8232650
honestly i think a lot of the kids' stuff is super cute. I wish they had them in bigger sizes, i'd buy it all in a heartbeat

>>8226053
I want that skirt as well! Anyone could tell me if the skirt would be a bit tight for a 71 cm waist? On the site it says 74 cm. Also the skirt look longer from other BL skirts, i'm only 5'2 so i fear it would be a bit long.

>>8234547
I ended up caving and ordering it, so I'll let you know how it is. It should arrive within the week so I'll post a picture here.

>>8226053
Oldschool=not ita.
Why nowadays old school is considered ita? That rustles my jimmies a lot, because i love old school and i dream to do old school coordinates. Here a cute coord with that skirt in sax blue.

>>8234561
Thank you! Did you get the pink colourway? I noticed the pink is a bit peachy/warmer than most BL shoes that are a colder pink. I want to get also a pair of pastel pink shoes, but the ones i want are sold out, damn it.

>>8226506
Thanks anon, that poof level is what I'm looking for!

What are you ladies buying with this sale?

>>8234607
I did get the pink, I'm hoping the peachy pink is the lighting in that particular photo since nothing I own will match it... But crossing my fingers!

>>8234675
I think everyone bought their sale stuff back in early March. I'm just waiting for one last parcel with two school uniforms and two pairs of tattoo tights.

>>8234748
The issue is the BL shoes i see in pink they would not match the skirt if the pink is warm. I don't like white shoes and the only warm pink shoe pair i have is plain flats!I would get the shoes in pink for other stuff i have and when you receive the skirt i would consider to buy it or no. Good luck anon!

Just bought the spooky dress and that cute tartan dress, plus some socks and a pair of shoes. $80 total so I'm very happy.

I was a cheap fuck and went with AIR so we'll see what happens.

>>8234585
this however looks ita as fuck.
lose the rainbow bowtie, and pink cosplay wig then we'll talk about old school.

Bodyline high as fuck, sending out Airmail order via ems and shit?

>1) It's not tuesday. Airmail only send out on tuesdays?
>2) It says EMS shipping in the mail but never trust bodyline's mails

Did they really fuck up in my favor?

>>8232595
I too am a size 24.5, and I think the main issue is that Bodyline's RHS run kind of narrow. Every other pair of shoe I've bought from Bodyline like heels or flats has been true to size. At least you know now for next time.

>>8235915
For me, it was that the RHS in my usual size pinch my toes from the top, but ones half a size up don't.

>first pair of Bodyline shoes I order are RHS in size 24.0

>>8235817
They all say that. It's AIR. Also AIR sends out every day now.

>>8236006
Just use some insoles and stuff the toes of the shoes. I'm having to do that with mine >>8232595
because I don't want to have to resell them just to buy new pairs.

As for the too small rocking horse shoes, I saw a trick on a talk show where I can put a bag of water in each shoe and then put the whole thing in the freezer and it'll stretch out the shoes enough to wear comfortably.

>>8236057
I've done the freezer thing before. You need to be REALLY careful because one time I ruined a pair of shoes because I put too much water and it expanded and tore the stitches.

>>8236114
Thankfully I just need to put a little in there. If it doesn't work, I'll probably just give them to someone who can wear them even though I love them.

>>8232498
shameless bump for this shit, also promise to drop a simple review here when I get them for what it's worth.

>>8232498
I got these a few years back so it might have changed, but I remember them running a full size too big. Hopefully someone with a more recent experience can help out, but that's my two cents.

>>8236203
I dunno but I'm buying these when I get my paycheck too (I was the one who made the main pic of the lolita general a while back a pic of these shoes)

>>8236206
Are they similar in the way they fit to shoes245?

>>8234541
for once being 4ft 6 has its advantages, only bodylines kids stuff sit on me properly

>>8232650

Just a warning, I'm 5', and the dress hits me more than 4 inches above my knees without a petti. (Here's a shitty photo of me trying to wear it casually, I don't have a petti short enough to fit underneath yet)

Do I want this only because it has unicorns on it?

>>8237149
That print is so generic looking though. Why spend money on clip art?

>>8237116
I think a cute underskirt could fix that

>>8234541
If they released this in adult sizes, I'd buy all three. Fucking nowhere offbrand does simple velveteen dresses.

>>8223670
Holy shit, that look like cheap BABY
>I need it

>>8237249
Fuck I want a green velveteen dress so bad. I wonder how short these even are...
>tfw I remember that I'm 5'6" and even regular bodyline is too short half the time

>>8237149
Yes. Which is a perfectly legitimate reason to want things.

Does anyone own L489 in blue or L387 in green? I've been trying to find worn pictures of both

>>8237149
They are horses.

>>8234675
I get two blouses, a pair of shoes and a rectangle headdress.
Just plain black things to fill out my wardrobe a bit. Both blouses have button-off sleeves though so they are versatile for summer/winter.
I notice Mr Yan is playing musical prices again though, even during the sale things are going both up and down with no rhyme or reason.

>>8237905
just throw it into google and you'll find tons of worn pictures and some reviews.
You're welcome.

>>8238527
It's the L489 in blue really that I can't find anywhere. I couldn't find a single pic for it

Has anyone worn any of the Bodyline lolita boots in the snow? Looking ahead to next winter while stuff is still on sale. Thanks in advance for any information.

>>8234675
What didn't I buy?

>2 JSKs
>2 pairs of shoes
>2 school uniforms
>3 pairs of tights
>1 blouse
>??? 100Y items

>>8239134
~and a partridge in a pear tree~

>>8239136
Shit. I forgot to put it in my cart.

>>8237905
>>8238646
http://bodylineneedsbetterpictures.tumblr.com/tagged/l489

this tumblr tags everything by item number, there's a few of the blue in there

Does anyone know how short this is and if the apron is removable? I think with some modification I could make it into a cute JSK.

Jesus, Bodyline doesn't play around when it comes to shipments.
I bought some stuff on the 5th or 6th, it shipped out on the 7th and arrived today. I thought their "2-6 days" was gonna be 6-10 days, not exactly 2 days.
Are they always this fast or did I hit a really good shipment?

>>8239713
Their Rakuten listingsays "Set contents dress, apron, headband, Ribbon Tie" so I'm assuming it does come off.

>>8239787
You hit a really good shipment. My order left Tokyo on the 29th and it still hasn't hit the USA yet.

>>8232414
Dutchfag here, both of my orders took between two and three weeks. They've always sailed under customs' radar, too.

Bodyline's Soft Cream JSK is gone from the website catalogue. I think Yan is going to restock it.

>http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct.asp?id=5436

I had to google it to find a link.

>>8239813
Betcha it's going to be at least 50% more expensive, too.

>>8239817
Well when a Mr Yan So Summer Sale happens we'll hopefully be able to get it for the original price.

Saw on the Bodyline FB that someone else got their gothic jsk and the print is backwards. Is that a common theme now?

I'm seriously considering selling my dress for profit because the print came in the proper direction.

I wanted to try something more old school and kind of like this in navy except for that weird pink trim. Anyone have it?

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=6869&pageNumber=2&pageStop=stop_4&noSubType=N

>>8239868
I swear they put such awful trims on everything it drives me absolutely crazy. I would say go for it and just replace that fugly trim.

>>8237249
I have this dress in black and sadly it's unlined and the thick seams make it really uncomfortable. I plan to sew a lining in soon,though

>>8237868
I'm 5'6" and above knee on me so I wear an underskirt with it always

>>8237249
Is this supposed to be a copy of this jsk?

>>8240184
Probably.

more mail related, but this happened

>someone ordered golden shoes
>It arrived like this

For some reason my country is ripping off the plastic bag and delivering bodyline's shoes just in the box.

>>8240448

>>8240448
wow what the fuck.

>>8240448
wtf is wrong with your country?
tampering with mail is illegal here.

>>8240476
hue hue hue Brazil.

I got myself a pair of shoes in the mail today and they were without the plastic too, I was lucky they were ok and not like the pics, they even got some tape to close the box.

I heard the person who got the golden shoes in the pics is trying to get a refund. She didn't even get the package at home, they made her go get it in the mail office.

>>8240455
Oh my god is that mold?

>>8240485
I would have flipped my shit in the office. and screamed "they have plastic bags on them for a reason".
post office should be giving her a refund, not bodyline.

Hi! Please, help me! Has anybody got this shoes? Is it true to size or not?
I have a narrow foot.
Thanks.

New maid outfit.

>>8241214

>>8241214
God that dress is hideous. Apron is all right though

Am I just slow or did Bodyline just get rid of most of their coats category? On the other hand, just noticed this new(?) capelet in that section. Thoughts?
>http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=9066&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_4&noSubType=N

>>8237249
Same. I have that velveteen Saint Clair style OP and it's amazingly nice quality for Bodyline, nicer than a lot of their newer stuff imo. Really interested in >>8239713 now for the same reason.

>>8241871
That's been there for at least a month. I keep debating if it is hideous or if I love it.

>>8241882
I think it's hideous. It's a knit and the print looks wonky, the colors off and then pom-pom ties and bunny ears? That's a lot of iffy elements in one garment.

>>8241871
I like the print and hate everything else. Modyline.

>>8239214
>mfw no l331
I can never find good pics of that thing.
I went ahead and bought it and it turned out to be beautiful, can never find any coords of it though.

>>8241888
It'd be nicer in solid colors

>>8241904
>l331
you're telling me you paid actual money for that thing? willingly?

>>8241904
It's because a lot of people don't think it is very good for lolita due to shiny fabric and cut of the dress but not fancy enough for hime gyaru. I agree with both but still think it's a pretty dress.

>>8241888
That's it. I'd love it a lot more if I could change the trims (maybe use a stripe that matches the bunny skirts or just a solid color for the bottom, snip the pom poms, rip off the ears). If it wasn't a knit I'd be able to modify it easily but I don't own a serger and hate using zigzag stitches on knits.

Pardon me if this is an obvious answer, but does anyone know how long this current sale will last?
I've got an order that should be here within the next week or two and I'd like to see the fit/quality of a couple of the items before ordering more in different colours. Is there any hope of doing this with the prices still as they are?

>>8241994
A couple of the things I've been eyeing went partially back up in price for some reason so I think the sale is changing?

>>8241962
It's a nice dress IMO, it's just not lolita at all.

>>8241904
pics/review anon? I've thought about getting the one that's similar for a dance.

How screwed am I? I ordered 2 blouses in size 2L, when I got them it turns out one is actually a M. Will bodyline fix this? Or will I have to file a PayPal claim? I emailed them about it but have little hope for a reply.

>>8243698
Sell the M one after you go through paypal. Bodyline's not going to do anything about it. Might as well file a paypal claim.

>>8243698
>Will bodyline fix this?
I don't think Bodyline ever fixed anything except that girl that got sleeves in her lucky pack.

>>8243698
post a WTT, maybe someone got a 2L instead of their M and is equally pissed off

Who has JSK l348 in bxw?
Does the black fade into the white trim when washed in cold?

>>8242009
Mr Yan price voodoo. He's always doing this.

>>8243710
>>8243711
>>8243719

Bodyline actually emailed me back, I'm shocked. I don't know what will happen yet, since they asked for a picture.

http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=5607&pageNumber=1&pageStop=stop_3&noSubType=N 108$ lolol

>>8243966

>>8243971
The price is $108. Prices on the English portion of Bodyline's site are listed in USD.

>>8243981
What is the yen trick FTW? Who pays Bodyline in USD?

>>8234675
Got a some stuff, my next order will probably be some more blouses and a dress I've got my eyes on:
> 2 jsks
> 3 pairs of shoes
> a blouse and some bloomers
> 4 pairs of tights, 2 pairs of socks
> bag and headbow
> 1 wig
> way too many accessories

So far everything has been great and fit perfectly, however the fabric covering the concealed zip on one of the jsks doesn't lie flat properly, should be able to improve it with a good iron.

>>8243981
>she still buys in USD

>>8243971
diff anon but holy shit is this depressing, is your exchange rate really that good now in 'murica?

Uhm.... Thats the coat that was perhaps 20 before new years. Which is why I lol'd. Its listed at 108. I thought cgl would pick up on it. I buy in yen btw.

>>8244009
you mean during the sale? it's always been $100 or so.

>>8244006

>>8244004
I'm new to lolita, so I don't know the money-saving tricks. I've been browsing this board to try and learn things but every loli thread except for two or three are just drama mongering and $500 dresses. If you know a trick to saving money with bodyline, please share.

>>8244009
That's a big difference! I know the prices have often shifted up and down a little but no idea it was that much of a hike in a short time. Guess I should keep a little list and watch prices. There are only a few more things I want from BL anyway though. Aside from a few gems, a lot of their lolita stuff is just too cheap-looking.

>>8244016
oh, just switch your currency over to JPY instead of USD and then pay in JPY(you know at the top where you can change the language/measurements etc) you end up saving atleast 30%, usually more, even with paypal's dumb exchange rate.

>>8244016
Just convert the currency to ¥ in the top drop down box and watch your cart total magically drop when you compare ¥ price to $ price on the site. Check out with paypal as usual but always convert to ¥ and get a ¥ total showing beforehand.

>been using bodyline to make cute lolita versions of touhous
>actually into lolita, so I pay attention to how i coord etc
>get compliments on my 'nice bl coords' from other lolitas dressed in burando etc

>>8244023
>>8244024
Thank you, anons! I'm starting with Bodyline so I don't spend too much and learn to coordinate. Don't want to fugly up AP or BtSSB with shitty accessories until I know what I'm doing and since I obviously know so little, I could get scammed pretty easily right now by trying to buy brand used. I really appreciate it!

For all of you here who've bought bl wigs before, how's the sizing on them? Got a lot of hair, don't want to waste money on these if they run too small to comfortably fit on my head anyways

>>8244013
>sobbing in the distance

>>8244030
Side note, paypal adds a currency conversion fee onto your total so it will show a slightly higher amount than your Bodyline cart but not more than about $4/$100 right now. Just so you know if you are new, this is pretty standard and it varies with the exchange rate as well.

>>8244016
Even though /cgl/ is sniffy about places like tumblr, you probably need to look elsewhere to learn everything you need to know about lolita. The old lolita handbook on livejournal, Hello Lace, the new lolita guidebook from /cgl/ on tumblr, fyeahlolita, and lolita-tips. Lolita-tips especially deals with a fuckton of questions from noobs on a budget, tags questions related to Bodyline items by their item number, and has a guide to the yen trick in her beginner's guides. She's much maligned on here because her coords aren't great but you ought to read her guides anyway.

>>8244030
You've got a great starting attitude, and I wish you the best of luck! When/If you feel ready to take the plunge into buying brand, ClosetChild is 100% reliable, and their stuff is usually in very good condition.

>>8241871
It's lovely but not for lolita. It's too quirky for lolita, and would much better suit otome.

>>8244044
Good to know, thank you!
>>8244080
I Google everything I buy before I buy it so that I don't end up with something that fits shitty. Thank you for the recommendation! I lurk cgl because it's one of the only places that gives real criticism on coords, but it's great to know there's a guide out there that's not on a 7 year old Livejournal account.
>>8244104
Thank you so much for the recommendation!

>>8244011
It was 1,999 yen when I bought it in the Oct sale

>>8244038
I bought W051 and found the fit pretty good, my own hair is a few inches past my shoulders and pretty thick. It can hold all my hair without my natural hairline showing up anywhere at the edges of the wig.

>>8243981
>still paying in USD

>still waiting for Bodyline package to enter the country

>>8244040
Same anon. I also need to buy art supplies but 1=1.30

Bodyline prices went up by a few dollars recently. Should I wait for Mr. Yan to lower them again or just go ahead and buy my stuff?

Be honest ladies, what's your favorite dress currently up for sale?

>>8246185
There's a Spring Sale coming so I'd say wait unless you think they're going to sell out.

>>8246193
The Alice apron JSK. I have it and it's so comfortable and cute. Non-for sale one would be Soft Cream.

How is the plaid L066 dress (in red)? Does anybody have it?

I'm a sucker for cute plaid.

>>8246415
Seconding this. I want this bad boy in either red or blue, it looks like it'd be really cute for casual wear.

>>8246415
>>8246454
I just ordered it, it left Japan yesterday, I'll report back. From what I've seen it's ridiculously cute IRL.

>>8241871
It's heading into spring/summer in the northern hemisphere, they may have dumped the coats since they're going out of season. Most stores do this, even ones with worldwide customers.

>>8240987
They're true to size, I have the black ones. They're a bit narrower than my other shoes, so I'd say you're good.

>>8246415

I have it! It's a little heavy, but the lace isn't scratchy, and the overall quality is nice aside from the satin ribbon laced in the back (which can be easily replaced). It's really high waisted, and I suspect that it wouldn't look good on someone with a large bust. It's also a little long and goes past my knees, but even if you're short like me (5') I don't think it looks unflattering. It's really nice for casual wear, but I have a hard time trying to find reds that match it exactly, since it's too bright to be burgundy, but deeper than cherry red.

>>8240448
>>8240455
Aw I wanted to read the outrage in the comments on the post but it's all in Portuguese (?)

That's super awful though.

>>8246629
Aw crap, I was hoping it'd be a dark red because bright reds look horrible on me.
I've been interested in it for a while though so I'd like to see more pics and opinions of how nice it is, maybe I'll nab it one day. I love tartan and have been wanting some inexpensive OP's that I can wear casually.

Can anybody tell me what are some good skirts for casual wear? Specifically something pleated in tartan or plain black. I've been wanting a few skirts for casual cute wear and for doing a school inspired outfit with but I have no idea on quality or anything.

>>8246796
IIRC, every Bodyline non-print skirt is shit except l325 and that other high-speed one with the roses, and those aren't particularly casual.

>>8246846
Derp, just realised you meant actual casual not casual lolita, never mind.

>>8246694

Here anon. Another pair of unfortunately trashed bodyline shoes covered in mold. Just for you.

hey guys, you think those bodyline yukata could work for gyaru?

Sooo those new floral dresses are up now, L570 and L571 - for 5399 YEN each (No spring sale on these, apparently). I want them both, but at 10k for those I might as well get second hand burando instead ... what to do?

>>8248982
and max 88 cm bust? that sounds wrong, the shirring looks huge.

The Spring Sale banner just went up but I don't know if anything has changed prices yet.

>>8248982
>5399Y each
>10k for both

Anon... 5399Y is $44.97 That's two dresses for under $100.

>>8248987
I feel like they didn't plan the sizes very well. 88cm is pretty small compared to the other sizes they offer, and on most of their dresses it's the 2L and 4L that are sold out. I thought they'd offer bigger sizes knowing bigger people will buy them.

>>8248994
not with my exchange rate damn USD and YEN :( I can get brand dresses 2nd hand from Japan for the same price.

>>8249064
Yes. this. Why?

I mean, don't get me wrong. If they don't wanna cater to obese busts they don't have to, but by limiting the new dresses to 82-88 they cut out of a lot of customers who genuinely want the dresses but can't get them because they're just outside of the 88cm/don't like to wear dresses at max stretch.

The dress only has a very small range of people who can wear it, and it's pretty pricy compared to other items. They really messed up on this one, hopefully they'll offer a bigger range in the near future.

>>8249095
Yeah I'm 5'8" and my bust is 96cm so if they're short and small I can't get them. Underskirts can only solve one of those problems.

>>8249101
Big ribcages are the worst thing to happen in lolita. I get that people don't want fatties to wear their stuff but FFS it's just my bone structure that ruins it, not my weight.

>>8249108
I'm the same. Just a huge rib cage, no fat so I can't even diet.

>>8249108
36"/30"/36" here and I know this feel

>>8249064
Especially because there are a couple jsks with the same pattern which are available in L. It would not even be that much of an effort to do them.

>mfw I'll never fit into them because of ribcage + bust, too
>mfw size L would fit

L328 and L076 came in the mail today, I'll review if anyone is interested!

>>8249155
Are you me?

Just a heads up that some gold and silver shoes are available in the New section!

>>8230771
This anon here. I have >>8230800 shoes in Brown and anons said they don't match well so since there's another sale coming, which shoes should I get?

>>8249108
>>8249155
37-29-37 and I don't even have much in the way of tits. Big ribcage and wide shoulders.

>>8249312
God fucking dammit. Sold out again except for 9 1/2 and 5

I had it in my shopping basket and it wasn't letting me check out, I missed THE LAST PAIR in my size. Ugh.

>>8249363

Oh tons of silver left though, get on though if you want 'em. You know how BL is -___-'

>>8249230
review for l328 please!

>>8249363
I don't wanna be that guy, but.. if it's just the color you wanted and the same style is elsewhere on the site.. maybe you can color another pair yourself? I think floral spray paint works well for shoe painting.

How thick are Bodyline's wigs?

So I've been looking for a school girl style skirt to wear with regular clothes. What the ones mixed in with the school girl costumes like? Cute everyday skirts or totally costumey?

Wanting to buy L328 2l in purple.

>>8250046
Costume578 is actually quite nice and it's made out of a soft fabric. I got costume824, which has a skirt almost identical to 578 so I would guess it feels the same. The only difference seems to be the way the skirt clasps as the waistband.

so did the spring sale that yan put on the home page start yet or what

I just bought this dress in white new with tags for ~$15USD and am looking for some things to go with it/make it look nicer?

Any suggestions? What do you guys think of this dress? I just bought it because I thought it was a good deal.

>>8250261
Any idea what the fabric is made from? I want a pleated skirt but in black and was wondering if I could jus dye it myself since they don't seem to have any in black.

I'm also looking for recs on any of the school-style skirts for casual wear so I'm looking for recs too!

>>8249651

No, no worries, you're not "that" guy, this isn't bad advice. I've painted a pair of tea parties gold before using pleather/leather shoe paint, and they came out looking like shit. I just couldn't get the paint to be smooth, you could always see the brush strokes, and it wasn't even a nice shade of gold. It was like snitch gold. I couldn't find the nice champagne gold.

>>8248982
That's expensive. It's a pity, because I wanna get into sweet-classic this summer and they'd be perfect.

A bit stuck on how to coordinate them though. The designs are really summery IMHO, but they're JSKs so they need a blouse, which will make them warmer and also possibly cover up the bodice shape. I could go with a light bolero I guess?

>>8249230
It's been around a while but I'd like a quick review of l076, especially the material quality and fit, because I've been thinking of getting it.

>tfw it's never in stock in black

>>8249834

I've heard it can depend on which wig you get, but I'd say overall the thickness is moderate, and I think the quality is out of this world for the price. The only colors I own are natural ones (dark blondes, browns) so I can't speak for potential bright colored cosplay wigs. Just make sure you secure your hair underneath properly with a wig cap. I could see the hair net showing up with a rush job of not making sure your hair is flat in place with no bumps.

>>8249834
They probably vary depending on the style, but I have the straight black one and its thin IMHO. Can't see wefts but it's thin. Also it's cut in a layered way rather than cut straight across like I wanted, so instead of seeming gothic it's just like, normal straightened 00s girl hair, only black.

>>8250921
I like it in pink although it's plain. I think the contrasting colours on the other colourways look bad tbh.

>>8249230
If you got l076 in M, does it to over the listed measurements at all with the shirring? Asking because I'm 84-64-86 and l076 might just not fit my bust, but any larger is gonna be way too big on my waist.

>>8249312

Ahhhh they were sold out when I checked a few days ago, but I caught a restock and just made my order. Bless you anon for posting this, or I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

We're maxed out so new thread!
>>>8252034
