I have Just One Bite in jacquard too and I adore the print, but the lace and detailing is a bit cheap-looking for the price. The lace at the hem in particular is kind of plasticky and gross. I'm even considering replacing it with some $0.50/m lace I got from Taobao that actually looks better.

this one doesn't look bad. it's got a shine to it but it also looks kind of thatched/woven so much sturdier than you think.
it's got a good texture to it from what I'm seeing.
I'd be all about this though if it were the black, and additionally had more shirring.

[Anonymous No.9634776]

>>9634549
If the fabric is anything like the cheap rubbish that the tote bag was released in a couple of years ago, this will be bad. The print was surface only, and blurry. It wasn't a patch on the textured cotton of the original releases. Why the navy colour as well? It's the worst colour i m o of VR. If you're going to rerelease this do it properly or not bother!

If you're talking about the 2015 tote bag, that's neither typical nor representative of the fabric quality on aatp dresses.

Think about it for two seconds. It's a random year. They suddenly make a lot of tote bags of their popular prints. They didn't re-release any of the popular prints. Just the tote bag. Not VR, no MND, no Alice Chess re-release. Just a lot of small little printed tote bags. We already know that brands face limitations in printing the fabric, so where on earth do they get the printed fabric from? It doesn't mattter how popular VR or MND is, there's no way they can sell enough of just those tiny little bags and no dresses to meet the minimum order quantity of any fabric supplier.

Answer has to be print-on-demand which is generally surface printed and often lower quality. They might even be ready-made totebags from the same place that does their cheap freebie mook bags. Two seconds of thinking and now you realise you're not really getting a tote bag made from the same fabric as the original print, no way is that happening. You're definitely getting a surface print on a plastic bag, that's why they could release so many different prints at once.

Now, whether you're still unhappy with aatp's quality is another story, but you keep bringing up the tote bag story so I just wanted to set that straight. The 2015 tote bag was definitely made from a totally different material using a totally different process, and seems to be a one-off thing.

So I wouldn't use that tote bag to judge this re-release.

To be fair, the first few btssb/AP chiffon polyester dresses were exciting, it's a bit different from the solid cotton stuff we normally get. And a bit after that transparent dresses sort of became trendy on the runway (think Ellie Saab lace dresses) so it was interesting to see how lolita brands interpreted the trend.

I didn't really everyone to embrace it to the point of excluding cotton now, though.

In regards to what was mentioned in the old thread under >>9632948 there has been a reaction from the girl mentioned in that fb post (pic related).

Does anyone know how to stiffen velvet bows? I have velvet bows on my MM coat that are very droopy. I know that I can't iron it normally because it would crush the pile, but it's not wrinkled so steaming isn't what I want. Would wetting it then reshaping it do the trick? I also heard bad things about getting velvet wet. Should I just go to the dry cleaners and let them press the bows for me?

That out of lolita thread on rufflechat... its sad how it seems most girls who wear lolita need guidelines in order to look decent, also why imo so many coords look the same the now. girls wanting to play dress up as a lolita for the day have ruined the fashion, throwing together a full AP set requires no thought but gets you ass-pats on instagram.

Nah, I think one thing that makes a good lolita is understanding fashion in general. Whether you're in a petticoat or not, you should have a basic concept of fit, color, proportions, etc. Plus, I think keeping tabs on other fashions is inspiring and keeps things fresh.

Good point! It's hard to say whether you're generally considered to be well dressed because tastes vary and it really depends on who you ask.
I don't know if people who are really into high fashion luxury brands and the latest runway trends would consider me well dressed, I rather think they might find me a bit boring and out of the loop. But I regularly get compliments for my outfits from a broad range of people, including people online, work colleagues or randoms when I'm going out. Does that make me well dressed or does it just mean that a lot of people have the same bad taste as me?

I'm into luxury/designer, and I would say a lot of that community favors classic styles or styles that fit the personality of the wearer and their body, ie if you blow lots of dosh on a bag it better look great for 20 years and not be a passing fad. if lots of normies think you look good, then you probably do to some capacity, but of course everyone's taste is different!

Ive owned stuff from them from across several years, and noticed the diminishing of quality across a lot of items. The design quality, and the actual product quality, from non print items to printed pieces. This tote bag is the worst I own myself though - it's worse quality than the freebie bags Ive received from them. Thus why I have mentioned it, combined with also having bought an original release VR tote, which was leagues above in terms of quality.

I'm aware, and personally I think it's a shit move to reprint on polyester while charging higher prices, unless aatp can actually vouch that the polyester fabric is better quality than the cotton (to be really, really fair to aatp, the fabric might still be better quality. No one has seen the fabric samples yet and there are no closeups, we're thinking it's shit based on shittalking, mostly)

I'm just saying the tote bag's production is entirely different from aatp's normal dress production. You would have been better off listing 2016 dress releases that were known to have a lot of complaints to show aatp's downward slide in quality, rather than pinpoint the blame onto a totebag that is known to have come from a completely seperate production method that was never repeated again.

Doesn't impact my view on AP since I'm not an idiot. Don't care who she is, how snotty she is, or how gulls think her rolling her eyes is the end of the world and should get her dropped from modeling. She's a model and gets paid to look good, that's it. I've seen a video or two of her signing in Japan and she seemed more comfortable but she has a kind of awkward personality to begin with so I can only imagine the language barrier discomfort.

She wasn't jetlagged, she had already been in London 3 days and was posting all over her insta about it. I was at DMC and initially wrote it off as "oh I guess she might be tired/sick", but it was obvious from her social media she wasn't.

>>9638735
Part of her job advertised as a guest was to interact with people. You're right, it's not her job to go above and beyond like many other guests did, but she was flown out and paid to be an event guest but didn't stick around after the fashion show and didn't turn up to Day 2 at all, then posted pictures of her out sightseeing in London. It's obvious something was off because her name also didn't get mentioned in any of the rundowns DMC staff did thanking the guests.

>it's only her job to look good.
She was never advertised as "she'll be here to model for five minutes and that's all" though. TPC have always sold more expensive tickets with guest-related perks - people sitting at head table get to talk to the guests at the tea party, people getting gold get breakfast with them in the morning (which I think Risa did turn up for, to be fair to her), etc. Attendees bought the tickets expecting they could interact with all the guests. Whether this was a communication issue on TPC's part or her just not bothering to do stuff she was paid to do I don't know (I might be wrong but AFAIK they paid for her travel and hotel for both days even though she only turned up for one).

I don't get why people are upset over Op's original post on Risa anyone would be mad at the fact that an employee seems like they don't want to do their job or even interact with you as a customer in a certian store.

She's not a worker in a building I understand , but as a model you would hope that she would at least look away from her phone and nod or smile at you for a sec, even if she can't talk to you. It makes the person that wears the brand a little bit happier to see the main model there do that I guess.

And yeah its not her job but at the end of the day we all like to feel acknowledged.

I think it would have been good had Risa have wandered around the booths for half an hour, or hang around at the AP stall for a bit. She could have chilled there and her rep would have been much better.

I don't even care about the Risa drama but I feel like lolita attracts people who are just generally rude?

It's good to dress the way you like, but I see so many lolitas taking the "don't care what anyone else thinks of your clothes" mindset way too far. They use it as an excuse to be a bitch.

Sure, you can act like that if you really want to, but it's not doing you any favors. Just being polite and friendly or even faking a smile can do a lot for you because nobody likes an asshole in real life.

I feel like too many lolitas take the "do what makes you happy and confident" idea as "I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks!" and assume that confidence equals rudeness. It makes me think of the edgy teenagers who put shit like "I'm mean. Deal with it" or something like that in their social media profiles.

Hey anon, we should collaborate. I have a white milky berry barette bow that is really fucked and I was thinking about experimenting on it. It got wet at some point and has both rust stains and bleeding red dye from the berries.
I took it apart and was thinking about trying either bleach, or dying it pink and salvaging the parts without rust to make a smaller bow or usakumya accessories.
I could also give it to you to experiment on if you felt like it. I should probably just throw it out I don't even know why I want to salvage it.

Possibly, lolitas have a bad reputation that's perhaps not undeserved.
It's clear something like that is happening in this thread because the anons defending Risa seem to be the bitchiest ones going out of their way to insult everyone.
I don't care personally if people act like that but why act all defensive when other people don't like it? You can't have it both ways. If they were just like "yeah I'm rude I don't care, whatever" but instead they flip their shit about how it's everyone elses problem just like this thread.

I placed an order a couple of weeks ago. Once they had everything it took them a week to send me an invoice but once I had paid they shipped my package within 24 hours. From what I can tell in the brief updates they sent me, their buying department is taking new orders more quickly than the shipping department can process them. IMO they should slow down but I am glad that they took my order despite being backed up because I didn't want to miss out on some really cheap stuff on Mercari.

God yes, thank you.

Bitches who freak out at the prospect of normies wanting to talk to them or take photos legitimately makes me angry. Can they not understand that to someone who's never seen this fashion before that it's unusual and noteworthy? It's a compliment if a tourist wants to take your photo. It's flattering if a group of men ogle at you. You don't have to flip a shit and make a scene if someone is giving you extra attention when you are doing something out of the ordinary. Having an attitude and not communicating to people how you feel is downright juvenile and it infuriates me when I hear lolitas say "I'm so misunderstood." If people misunderstand you, fucking tell them how you feel so they can understand! Tell them about the fashion! Be courteous and polite like any other reasonable person! It's not hard to do these things yet some lolitas make it sound like they're so persecuted....

I'm not trying to belittle or minimize lolitas who are actually harassed. I'm just talking about the girls who make a fuss over nothing.

I think taking it apart for fabric and dying it pink and making a smaller bow for an usakumya would be really cute! Bleach probably wouldn't work that well, but I'm not completely sure. I'm assuming you don't have Milky Berry (?) but it could match other strawberry print dresses.
If you did give it to me that's what I'd do! Of course feel free to salvage it yourself if you would like because it is yours lol.
