I have a feeling that these aren't really that bad, they didn't just bother ironing, the camera angle is shit and they chose the worst models possible, short and swimming in the dresses.

>> No.10474942

Part of the whole point of poly is to not have to iron as much as cotton to look neat. The dresses are just shit.

>> No.10474948

>>10474892
I think the designer must have seen it looked a little plain with nothing at the top but didn't want a big bow in case it got in the way of the heart. But this is the worst of both worlds because it's too small to look good and still big enough to interfere with the heart. They could have done a big sheer tie ribbon hanging over it or something like that, I think that would be cute.

Probs the photo quality. They usually use the layered style if it’s so many colors. The only flat pieced I remember were mostly single-color like Romantic Cat. So I don’t think >>10475603 the point still stands, they‘ll probably end up looking the same.

I own two bags like the Present Ribbon one and wear them with chiffon dresses all the time. Honestly I have no clue how she managed to ruin it like that without noticing.

Tulle overskirts are nothing new, though. I have a ballerina jsk from IW that's basically a tulle overskirt on a dress, wear it for work then wash it in a garment bag in the washing machine. I'd estimate I've worn it 30-50 times now and still haven't snagged it.

From what I've heard, they do that so legit scammers won't steal their proof photos as their own.

But with that, I feel like a photo covered in watermarks of their username would prevent that from happening? (Or just simply writing their username on a piece of paper and placing it in the photo.) I'm not too familiar with Photoshop to know if it's easy/possible to remove watermarks from a photo littered with them.

There aren't usually many anti-black comments on cgl to begin with except /pol/tards coming in trying to bait people and a ton of people taking over feels threads with back and forth on politics when the BLM stuff was trending, during which the threads got nuked for being off topic, not because of anything to do with the comments being about black people.

China and Chinese lolitas as well as scalpers (and some scammers) have had an impact on both non Chinese and Chinese lolitas in the fashion, so of course you'll hear a lot about China in general. Chinese lolitas likely keep certain brands afloat and their willingness to spend a lot and tastes have seemingly influenced brands' aesthetic choices like with AP. Chinese lolitas are also now buying and selling more in Japanese and Western secondhand. There was also the thing that happened at the Shangai AP store a year or two ago; a good chunk of the people in in line were straight up old men buying dresses to scalp and they and some of the rest of the crowd literally destroyed things with their behavior. Not to mention it's obvious many of the scalpers on LM but not all listing NWT kumyas and AP are Chinese scalpers in China and Australia, among other places. Yeah, the old well known western scalpers or scammers still exist but it's fair to point out that they're Chinese too just like if a huge chunk were American, Brazillian, German, or whatever.

I don't think anyone pointing out some scammers being Chinese is racism, and don't pretend gulls haven't regularly said negative shit about black people before either. But a ton of black lolitas in comparison aren't doing some of the stuff we've seen Chinese lolitas or scammers do en masse and the ethnicity is less relevant because black lolitas don't have the sane influence.

AP Japan still relies on walk-ins and impulse buys. Previous years they tend to ramp up their Halloween releases in October (when the locals would actually be feeling really hyped up to go shopping for a dress or accessory they can take home at the moment), and they tended to have Halloween-ish releases all the way until the last weekend of October.

So there's hope yet for other stuff.

Out of curiosity I looked up the release dates of their Halloween releases in 2019 and 2018. They usually start by the end of August (Ghost Night bride was like 24th August) until early October (5th October for Dream Cat Go Round).

The jewellery will often release later than the dresses, that's what will make some of them go all the way up to Halloween weekend itself.

Actually, a lot of the earlier years you can really feel that the lucky packs are very cheaply made. The buttons tended to be much more obviously plastickier. The lace tended to be plainer, and one year the tulle netting itself was very sparse. The bags were often so lacking they looked like budget AP next to a regular release generic AP bag. The socks tended to be UTKs rather than OTKs even when every regular release they did was OTKs. Coats, too, tended to be thinner and have courser, stiffer fur.

I think they've simply changed tactics. Whereas in the past everybody bought lucky pack sets and then the experienced lolitas were simply stuck with selling off the obviously cheap things so that they could keep the print, recently what they've been doing is making more of the special set prints. So if you were an experienced lolita, it's become much simpler to just buy the special print sets and then use your own high-quality blouses, bags, socks, shoes etc with it, rather than have to deal with what to do with the cheap stuff just because you like the print.

The newer lucky packs seems to be targeted at newbies, or anyone who wants to get a full set from brand. It's still pretty much a full coord and pretty decent, without the hassle of having to deal with whether or not you want to buy it solely for the print and then need to sell off everything else.

I really wish they’d do printed lucky packs again. It’s so hard to get a full set of a new print release. Special sets are ok but don’t include socks and they’re often store or tea party-specific releases. And I dunno, special sets seem to be just blah lately. In theory I like them they always seem to either be in Pprints no one wanted to begin with or in a super high-waisted cut. But mostly it’s because they come out so long after the original release that all the matching accessories and socks are long gone. If I want a dress without the matching accessories I’ll buy used. For me personally I buy new when I really love a print and I want a full set. So I really hope they bring back printed packs with socks!!

I bought a different colorway a few months ago for >$100 and I don't even care if I got scalped. I would think prices would go down with a re-release, but judging how fast they sold on Paris' site (which is normally the slowest selling), I actually think prices are going to go up.

That's kind of my feeling too. I don't like scalpers who buy tons of stock and relist, or people upcharging for a damaged Sugary Carnival, but for a store limited release that maybe only a handful of people got, I felt like it was worth it. My SS didn't live in the area and it's not like I could have flown to Japan either. I weighed it out and decided I wanted to stop stressing out and would rather just spend the money to secure it. Even if it gets rereleased later, I won't be too mad. I just didn't want my chance to disappear. I barely see the special lavendar colorway of the Magical Balloon necklace listed anymore, so I went for it.

I think you did the right thing and it is absolutely worth it for peace of mind, I am just finally getting fed up with AP's exclusivity after being in this fashion for over a decade.

I get that back when this necklace was first released it was really limited because that was the nature of lolita, but I do not understand why they don't currently order more stock or do MTOs more often when there is clearly a demand for their products. FFS they could easily announce a new release and take pre-orders at the same time. Then everyone would be happy and the only people who miss out are those who weren't following new releases or in the fashion yet, which is fair.

I can't tell if it has to do with who they manufacture with (who would be limiting the number of production stock allowed for each order) or if they are being purposely obtuse about what sells well but it is so frustrating that they don't pay as close attention to their sale stats as they should. Sometimes they make smart business moves and do MTOs for popular things but I feel like whoever is making the bulk of their business decisions only knocks their 2 braincells together correctly about 60% of the time.

It's celebrated differently in different countries, though, so your location might determine whether it's a big deal someone would buy a new dress for, or just one where folks sit around eating mooncakes.

Regardless, I kind of agree AP doesn't really need a reason to release a random qiloli dress anyhow, it just looks like an autumn release with the cape, and pandas don't really fit the moon festival, it should have been rabbit if it was going to be about the moon festival.

>> No.10479982

Nah, devilinspired is still in business, and some disturbing number of lolitas are scared of shopping services altogether, let alone figuring out how to buy from any foreign sites, mercari included.

Is devilinspired actually a scam, though? I was under the impression it was just another taobao reseller like youvimi or lolitawardrobe.

obv it's overpriced compared to buying direct from the brands, but I think most people who use those sites understand that it's not the best deal. They pay extra for the convenience of not having to place multiple orders/go through an SS. That's different from stealing someone else's proof photos.

>> No.10480309

>>10480025

No, it's what you said -- they're paying for the convenience of just using one store, so they aren't going to be arsed to properly browse taobao brands by themselves. These aren't the type of girls who are going to "check every sale site" like anon says.

I can easily see someone like that falling for this if they decide to "upgrade" from taobao to AP and buy the first pretty thing they see on lacemarket, because it's more convenient than figuring out mercari. If they didn't do it for taobao, even just to check the buyer feedback for the brand, then I just don't see them doing it for mercari either.

And whilst you want to believe everyone who buys from devilinspired knows what it is, I've met more newbies who don't realise it's a reseller, even some who proceed to recommend the site because they bought one dress and it was 'good quality'.

Like, we're not all noobs, but there's enough clueless people, lazy people, wilfully ignorant people, or the odd actually dumb person here and there, so we're pretty far from being "worst group to try and scam".

The last auction I was with Chick-Chan was on yahoo jp, maybe around January or last December or something, and it got to 30,000 yen. I was thinking it would be a lot higher this time.

That's not even the most popular colorway for this set, the brown is more desired. I'll be disappointed if someone buys it at this price. The seller is fishing to see if someone wants it that badly. They'll surely lower it if no one buys.

I like how all the oldfags are ree'ing about how "this is how expensive things were back then!" but I've literally never heard of stuff going for 2k, other than maybe Cat's Tea Party, and there was a reason for that. This is a new era.

Good point. Probably Puppet Circus too.

>>10481295
This is a blind spot of mine because I never liked Holy Lantern. But yes, Holy Lantern, and Honey Cake too.

What I'm saying is that people in general are saying $1-2k prices are/were "normal" for any old dress. And they never were, at any point. They were always considered expensive, especially if it's a bad colorway. I'm supporting the idea that this is a new "era" of lolita, rather than just reverting to "previous" prices.

nta but I've never seen it go above 100k yen, Iron Gate and Gothic Arch had their "standard" price at 60 000 ~ 80 000 yen and matching price in other currencies before the day that con in the US broke the news that Mana would leave Japan for them and everyone and their mother needed something to wear to the teaparty

Originally it wasn’t, but it’s the only not-rereleased color, hence it’s rarer than the others. Similar to pink and mint Honey Cake.>>10481278

Celestial regularly hit $1k pretty easily, though. And they hit it again after the MTO, which was weird, you'd think the MTO would have brought prices down but nope, straight after the MTO came out the prices went right back up to $1k for the jsk and about $800 for the skirt for some reason.

I mean I think this is a ridiculous price for the chocolate dress, but I was here in 2013 when AP bloodbaths were affairs of tears and multiple cgl threads and some mysterious super hyped up dresses do hit $1k. Shortly before AP figured out to do re-releases as often as they do now.

that, or lacemarket mods took it down for them after giving them a warning. they included "misc. accessories" as part of the price, but they didn't have any proof pictures and said in the comments that they didn't even know if they owned the "misc. accessories" anymore

I doubt it, the mods posted a comment to the listing giving them 24 hours to add proof photos and I don’t see why they would suddenly go back on that unless something else came to light. The probably realized no one would ever pay that much and got embarrassed

I lurk in several discord groups. This dress was a hot topic in three of them. The listing was removed because they didn't have the appropriate proof photos. But there is a guaranteed buyer lined up for when its relisted, so someone is willing to drop 2k on it. Ridiculous. And people in the group are justifying it for them... "if it makes you happy, UwU" Its the same person who bought the bitter set for ~$1300 a couple weeks ago.

I have this dress sitting in my closet and haven't worn it in a long time, I've been considering letting it go. On one hand I like the idea of keeping the market reasonable because 2k for a dress is fucking wild, but on the other hand, money. Idk gulls, if I sell it should I count this as an outlier and go with what the pricing on this dress was previously, or would that be stupid because I could potentially also get 2k?

>> No.10481530

>>10481525
Same. It's either a shopping thing to fill a void, a flex, or maybe the person buying has such little left on their wishlist that they can afford to throw money around. Personally I'm getting to the point where my wishlist is dwindling so I can spend more money on certain things. But not 2k money.

But in all honestly anon. Get that money if you really need it. I also prefer the idea of keeping the market reasonable, but the market price is what people are willing to pay, no matter how stupid that may be. I expect the price will come back down in a few months, so now is the best time to sell. It was the limited rerelease that really has people foaming at the mouth and scrambling to get this dress now.

What color do you have? If its brown or bitter, you could make serious bank.

I've got it in pink size M and bitter size L. The bitter L I bought when I was chunkier and now it just fits awkwardly loose on me, the pink fits great but the color against my skin is not my favorite so I never really wear it. I wish I had a bitter or mocha size M. I'm considering letting both of them go (or trying to swap). I live paycheck to paycheck and save slowly for lolita, so I'm not gonna lie the idea of getting 2k is pretty tempting.

I'll be honest with you, you gotta be prepared that there's maybe only one idiot out there who will pay $2k for it.

Regardless though, it sounds like you don't really like either dress, so even if you only get back $500 I'd say just sell it and buy something else that looks better on you.
