Color choosing question: I never had the expectation that I would be able to pick the exact color and cut I wanted so now with this amazing MTO I have NO idea which to choose. Originally I loved the white zipper jsk and while I still do, I feel like it might be hard to coord. I am thinking of going for the black zippered JSK instead but I don't know how it will look since they haven't made that combo yet and I am worried about the gold zippers looking weird like on the original all black zipper JSK. (I would go for the high waist JSK but I don't like how that cut sits on me.) I am so torn! I feel like the lavender and wine are easiest to coord but I don't really want either color and while pink would be cute, I really wanted this to be as gothic as it can be. I also just turned 30 and feel the pink doesn't match my age as well anymore.

For any indecisive gulls like me, could we possibly post some coords in this thread too? Especially with the new black x white fabric? I already went through all the tagged pics on tumblr and I still feel as confused as ever.

Let's do a little recap so the same questions won't be asked again and again.

The Made-To-Order will start on the 17th 6p.m. and will end on the 25th. You won't see it on the homepage until it's 6 p.m.
AP sometimes closes MTOs early, but it will usually stay for a few days so no need to get up in the middle of the night.
The colors are pink, ivory, wine, bxw and lavender. No black or navy this time, but both JSK cuts.

The sizes are most likely the same as the old releases and can be checked on lolibrary. Rumors say the new release is longer but many others say otherwise so be prepared for the short versions.

You need to use Tenso for the japanese site, so register early and properly fill out the forms. A guide for Tenso and AP registration can be found here: http://egl.livejournal.com/19625005.html and on Tenso's own website.

Yes, the US-branch will open the MTO as well, no further information provided. Please be aware that shipping to Europe is $45 and the prices of the dresses are higher.

There is currently no information on the limits per person/household, but AP might release them when they open the MTO.

You will have to pay up-front, AP will charge your card after the MTO closes. They will ship out in early March.

What I wanted to say is that you have to have your money ready when you order and you will have to pay the whole sum upfront, no deposit and not in March. I assumed they will charge your credit card at the end of the MTO, because their announcement said that customers who order by phonecall have to pay until the reservation period ends.

customs is not determined by AP, it is determined by your country. anything you purchase overseas can have customs tacked onto it at the time of delivery

AP SF does not mark down packages AFAIK. tenso does. with the current exchange rate it is far cheaper to buy directly from the JP website

>> No.8668801

It is dropped waist so look at how the chocolate print skirts are worn (chess chocolate and one of the melty ribbon skirts are that cut), and it is pretty similar to the original skirt style but without the zippers.

I'm 172 and they fit alright; not the best, but do-able. I have thin legs, so the color stays nice and even, but the crotch kinda pulls down/can sag a little if they ended up being extra short. For the most part they're high quality and fit well, though.

But then I'm wondering if it would be pointless to get a second wine ribbon clip just because, while I thought that hairstyle was cute, I'm not sure if it's really my style.

IMO high waist JSKs just look... weird on me. I'm a but under 120lbs and I like how I look when I wear dresses that show waist. I bought 2 HW JSKs in the past and I felt like it made me look a lot wider than I am... mainly like a triangle with a thick waist. (I feel the same whenever I try on empire dresses) If you are in that weird in-between like I am (a little tall for the dresses instead of a tiny toothpick and also have no curves) it just looks awkward. Hwever if you are a bit shorter and do have some curves I think it will look very cute. You just have to be careful about boobloaf with some JSKs. Overall it technically did fit, I just didn't like how it looked on me.

While everyone seems to be favoring the zipper cut, I've heard it doesn't fit flat chested lolitas very well, usually ending up very baggy in the chest (where the high waist is more flattering on small busts).

There is no better than anything, buy the design and cut you would most like to wear, simple as that.

it'll be baggy on you.

Girls with busts smaller than 89cm should probably get the high waist because you won't fill out the front as well.
The reason why is because of the zipper. It will warp if you don't fill it out, causing weird bumps across your chest

The silhouette is better, plus there are waist ties for adjusting. There's a lot more to something flattering a form than numbers. Just like how the zipper cut only goes up to 89cm, but it's cut is good for a curvier figure, and girls with busts of at least 100cm.

At 90cm at it's lowest, that's also not huge. You'll need to account for your undergarments and blouse adding some bulk.

This is why worn photos are super important:

It does make sense for smaller girls because it's high waisted. If a girl with a bigger bust tried to wear the high waist jsk, she would fill it out and cause major boob loafing. At least with bigger bust girls it'll show the shape of her waist from her bust, making her appear more curvy.

Also the special set has similar measurements to other high waist jsks with full shirring (think Misty Sky 2013)

According to AP's site, 89cm is the max, but that was to prove a point of how it has actually surpassed that according to buyers.

Again, site numbers mean jack for the most part. Get worn photos, and ask people who own the dress for their thoughts on the fit.

No don't listen to that anon, she typoed. For the zipper jsk 89cm is the MIN measurement - that is the measurement without you stretching the shirring at all.
