Yes. Post it immediately.

>>5517607
ooooki.

to start with, here is the pathetic waist bow, with a clip attached that i had already.

>>5517617
Awww, it just needs a little ironing!

>>5517617
from a distance. The skirt comes with a built in petti thats pretty much sad. Even with a petti under it the layers of the skirt (cheap crunchy cotton, wrinkled and dirty, with the built in petti and slip [wat]) it deflated the petti almost immediately.

Also the skirt was nothing more that spoonflower copied print. It wasn't the replica depicted on the site. It was blurry and faded.

>>5517652
oh god OP
flee now before the trolls arrive

>>5517655
I know I'm fat, that's not a surprise. But I guess I'll delete the thread.

>>5517674

I don't care if your fat, I'm purely interested in the dress.
Please continue.

Some ironing would do it a world of good. As far as the print being blurry and faded, what did you expect? SC replicas are often that way. It's just a hard print to replicate.

I was expecting a joke Derpy-chan thread, ha ha.

>>5517674
You are pretty damn fat, but that doesn't matter at the moment.

May we please get a close up of the print?I want to see this awfulness better.

>>5517696
I got the skirt actually, but there's not really any more photos other than knee-up with the rest of me in them.

>>5517711
Indeed I am.

There's not really any more close ups, most are knee-up photos because my tights ripped. I'm wondering if getting the Fantastic Dolly Replica is even worth it now.

>>5517744
Could you take the skirt off and show us some details of the fabric print?

>>5517744
Well even if you don't end up wearing it much, it's a learning experience. Worst case scenario you can always sell it on the comm sales. Someone is sure to buy it and at least you can make most of your money back.

Oo Jia makes a sugary carnival replica. Her prices are totally reasonable and the quality is excellent! She, herself, is also a lovely person

http://www.facebook.com/events/168266423267938/

>>5517761
These are older photos but when I get home I certainly can.

It came coated in adhesive on the underside, it's disgusting really. Black and yellow virtually all over.

The words Angelic Pretty are actually printed on it. I was pissed. It's not a respectful replica, as much as replicas can be. It's just a blatant copy.

>>5517744
As a fellow fat girl, I highly recommend you get a new bra, unless you just tossed one on for the photo. You've probably got nice boobs, it's just that they need a little support.

Still, cute skirt and cardigan!

>>5517772
>makes

I saw a comment there about she still needing the dress to scan it or something?

Anyway, OP, can you tell us about the quality of the print itself? I'm thinking of buying a skirt just to get the fabric, and make something interesting with it.

>>5517783
I did just toss one on. Its really hard to find a bra in my size. I'll take this advice into account.

The cardi is a pink rabbit hoodie from Bodyline.

>>5517775
LOL!!!!!
Of course it is a blatent copy. Of course it has the AP name emblazened all over it. Did you think that someone who was going to copy it would be polite enough to at least change that? (Oo Jia's also still have the brand names on them)

What the fuck did you think you were buying? You bought a cheap Chinese knock off and got exactly that.
It is a scan of the real thing, printed on cheap fabric and cheaply made.
I can't say anything about the detail of the print since you haven't shown it. I have the original (first release, which is more water colour-y than the re-release) and it isn't crisp. Any scan & reprint of it will be even more unclear.

>>5517744

>my tights ripped

I read that then looked at your picture.
I'm so sorry but I lold pretty hard

>>5517788
Oh god no don't do that. The fabric is totally stiff and according to Clobba:

"I just checked and it seems your headbow was missed out when the order form was filled out on my end. The info was sent over in email at the very beginning. Sorry about that! The headbow wasn't included in the paypal invoice if you check.

As for the yellow substance, that was the glue from the printing process. Some of the custom Sugary Carnival pieces got glues on the other side of the skirt part. I sent you an email checking whether it is okay, and if not, I could send it back to have it cleaned/remade and will pay for shipping back and forth, thou it would take quite a bit of time, as Dream of Lolita is very slow processing these issues. You mentioned that it'd be okay and you could fix it on your end upon arrival, so I arranged to have it sent out."

They just fucking FORGOT my headbow. I KNOW I paid for that shit too. Paypal only keeps invoices for like 3 months and this took longer than that. There was no way I could prove that I paid for it.

They claimed the glue was a small amount. When I received the skirt about 1/5 of the underside of the skirt was covered in a filthy black adhesive, and the outside of the skirt had mustard coloured droplets along the back.

>>5517698
>I was expecting a joke Derpy-chan thread, ha ha.
Aw dude I would not have seen that coming. That would have been great.

>>5517797
Another fatgirl here. Honey. You don't need a shit replica skirt. You should have spent that money on a bra. Your nipples should not be at your waist. The money invested will make you look better in everything - your posture will improve as well.

And get fitted -- most women wear the wrong size which is part of why they "can't find their size".

>>5517816
What the fuck printing process uses glue?

>>5517816
>There was no way I could prove that I paid for it.

Erm... wouldn't the price of the headbow be included with the total price of your order? That's proof enough isnt it?

Would you guys start a new thread if you want to talk about OP's undergarment choices so damn badly? I want to hear more about the skirt.

How does it fit, OP? Did they at least get the sizing right? I might try to nab one off the comm sales.

>>5517807
Actually the site advertises a skirt with a blank white oval where the Angelic Pretty emblem is placed on the original.

I was promised a better quality then this.

Just because it's from China doesn't make it bad. Not everyone can afford brand, though I own some. I prefer to only wear brand to nice events and I don't like to post pictures of it on the internet because of the age old "omg that fatty-chan is stretching out my burando". But it's not your burando, it's mine.

You worry how you spend your money, and I'll worry how I spend mine.

Not everyone can afford 300 dollar dresses for urrday. I have real life things to pay for, like insurance and bills.

>>5517814
Haha, but it was my puppy. Obligatory puppy picture.

>>5517821
I know.

>>5517858
lol. Defensive much? Did I ever say anything about you not owning brand? I said that you bought a cheap crappy knock off (which you would have been expecting if you had done ANY research on DOL's quality before buying your knock off)
You bought a cheap knock off and you got a cheap knock off. You got exactly what you paid for.

I hate it when people who buy crap and then complain that it is crap. The Bodyline Carrousel skirt is cute, similar, cheap, and MUCH better made than DOL's crap. Get that instead. If/when Oo Jia comes out with a knock off hers will be better than DOL but still wildly disappointing.

>>5517821

Also, be careful about where you get fitted. Mall places advertise fitting, but are often super shitty about it.

I went to Cacique and while I love their bras, their fitting is dumb. I went in since I had lost some weight. Was in a 38 D Balconnette, thought I might need a smaller size.

The lady measured me and tried to tell me I needed to be in a 44DDD.

I was...shocked and bewildered.

We pulled it out. Even holding it up to me it was obvious to both of us that there was no fucking way it was happening.

I ended up buying several very nice 40Ds in a different style since it was a bit tighter than my previous.

So yeah. Buyer beware and all that.

Also, lol captcha.
>watching artscow

>>5517858
If you don't mind me asking, what brand do you own?

>>5517858
awww, it dropped my picture. Here's Momo.

>>5517886
Bodyline is too short on me,

>>5517892
I am going to get fitted by a seamstress for my wedding dress soon so I'll ask her for my bra size as well. Thanks for the advice, I had no idea!

If OP wasn't so fat, she wouldn't have had this problem to begin with.

Just don't buy replicas? You get what you pay for :/

>>5517906
I own some Baby and some Metamorphose. They're more plus size friendly, and I buy the free size dresses.

They're snug in the bust but fine everywhere else.

I'm sorry, but what did you expect from a cheap chinese knockoff? Good quality?

>>5517911

Bodyline is too short? How tall are you? I'm 5ft8 and find that the normal-length skirts fit me just right. The tall-length skirts are far too long on me. I bought their carousel skirt in T2L and it drowned me, it went waaaaay past my knees.

>>5517928
Mid to low quality. The item advertised was a far cry from what I got.

That's what made me mad.

>>5517929
I'm 5'10" with long legs. I have a 37" inseam.

I suppose it depends on the type of length you prfer, but I like mine to hit my knees. Ugly knees, therefore cover them, lol.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LOLITA YOU FAT CUNT

>>5517775
Lol you're pissed that they printed angelic pretty on it, but were still okay with buying a blatant rip off. FYI, there's no such thing as a respectful rip off

>>5517940
No.

>>5517945
Yeah actually. It's not hard to draw some marshmallow ropes on a carousel. This wasnt exactly a creative print. It could have been the background to any shoujo anime opening/ending. But putting the actual brand name on it is pathetic.

>>5517962
You.. You didn't realize that they wouldn't take the time to redraw it.. did you? It's blatantly copied. Not traced with some changes.

I can't name a replica shop that takes the time to trace. They don't exactly care..

>>5517984
Honestly if someone had the name of the spoonflower shop that had angelic derpy I'd love it.

I feel bad for buying a replica but AP doesnt cater to fatasses.

And they overprice. 80 dollars for a plastic ring. Seems legit.

>>5517962
>Yeah actually. It's not hard to draw some marshmallow ropes on a carousel. This wasnt exactly a creative print. It could have been the background to any shoujo anime opening/ending. But putting the actual brand name on it is pathetic.

>>5518003
Holy crap! Pink Pearl?? That's cute! Didn't even know that was there!

>>5518027 also

I'm still super disappointed about the Elegant Gothic Pony Derpire Romance fabric.. Dat offblack..
I wanted it so bad..

>>5517994
LOL, you entitled cow.
Why didn't you just write "I am not willing to work for something nice because I am too lazy and cheap to do so. I am ENTITLED to this print that I am not willing to work for because I am fat. I am fat because I am lazy and entitled to french fries.
Besides, AP is making a profit by charging the prices they do thereby pricing my lazy ass out of the market. They are evil and deserve to be punished"

And before you think I dislike you because you are fat... One of my good friends is a big loli. She alters brand or buys off brand. She works for 9.00 and hour to buy her brand (and SHE pays her rent and insurance as well) She is lovely. You are an entitled lazy whining slob.

AP doesn't DESERVE to be ripped off just because you are too lazy and entitled to actually work for what you want.

>>5518003
Can we stop talking about fat OP and get more into this? I'm very very interested in that shit and didn't know spoonflower was... uh, like a custom fabric only version of etsy.

Anyone care to explain it better? Can I just order as much of that freaking cute fabrics as I want?

>>5518053
yes, you can order as much as you like. Be aware that the black is never true black and that it fades a bit.

The artist gave the rights to use it freely, but asks that you not profit or that any profits made from it be sent to charity

Rather generous of her I think.

>>5518046
I'm positive that she said she owns brand.
Also,
>One of my good friends is a big loli who buys brand and alters it so I can call you a lazy fat cow because you didn't but the real brand skirt!
fullretard.jpg

>>5518046
Haha no I never said any of these. AP can charge whatever they want. I'm just not going to buy their shit direct, ever. I have some second hand jewelry though. I do own brand and I buy it secondhand. I'm not the richest girl, but I have expenses because I don't live with my parents and my country doesn't have free health care for people who make a decent amount of money. America is expensive. I own a house, and therefore pay property taxes, and my fiance lives with me. Supporting two people and running a household takes dough. And Don't you think I should wait until I lose more weight to buy nicer clothing?

And, as a matter of fact, I hate french fries. So there.

Can we get back to the topic and get away from the fact I'm poor and fat?

>>5518088
>America is expensive

LOLOLOLOL

>>5518095
Car insurance for my vehicle is 300 bucks and health insurance scales by what disabilities/incurables you have.

>>5518069
Oh my god that's glorious. I don't wear lolita anymore because my love lies on AP at the same time that my face is not kawaii enough to pull off OTT, so being able to make my own short ruffled skirts with cute fabric will be just... glorious.

Sage for the random and unecessary rant.

>>5517994
Ap has never charged 80 dollars for any of their acrylic rings. So no, your statement isn't legit.

>>5518088
You're not the only American lolita.

>>5518112
Not OP but,

>implying $30 is still a reasonable price to pay for a claire's-tier plastic ring

Just sayin'

>>5517816

Sorry I don't have pictures, but I had a similar experience ordering this same dress. I ordered and paid for the OP, but received a JSK... But at the time I was just thinking, "Oh well, you get what you pay for."

The print itself on mine is really nice. I've compared it to the original, and the only real difference is that it doesn't contain the AP logos. The fabric is really stiff, but not as stiff as a Dear Celine replica dress I own. The fabric isn't lined on the inside, but it has a little tulle built in petti thing.

Mine also had the same derpy bow problems on the front. It looked like absolute shit at first so I just pulled it off and pinned it back on looking a bit better. If you know how to sew a derp-ass bow you'll be doing better off than me.

I think it looks cute on you, btw!

I like the color of your hair. Or I suppose it's a wig?

Regardless, it's lovely.

>>5518124
Seriously though, those things cost less than a cent to make.

>>5518142
It's a wig from epiccosplay.com.

>>5518088
1. Lose weight
2. Less money on food and health care
3. ???
4. Profit!

>>5518270
Health care problems are not from my weight. They're genetic.

OP, is your fiance skinny or fat?
Just curious, and congrats on getting married soon!

>>5518373

Why did you post a picture

What was the point

>>5518380
This.

He's okay that you'd post him on 4chan without his face obsured, right?

>>5518275
It's almost like you're doing this on purpose. Incoming shitstorm.

>>5518404
Yeah. It's not like anyone actually cares, but I'll delete it now.

Ah yes, the American dream: Living in a house you can't afford.

Wtf is wrong with you? You tried to use living in America as an excuse for not owning brand? You think not living at home and paying for bills is an excuse for anything? You fucking down grade your living situation if life is so damn tough. I live in a studio apartment the size of your bedroom to afford my closet full of brand. I know people have different priorities, but I'm not the one bitching about the things I sacrificed. The way your life is going, you will never own anything that isn't shit because you won't cut costs where they need to be cut.

>>5517652
OP, you are HUGE

>>5518533
I said I owned brand.

What is reading comprehension? Clothing is one of the least important things in life. If you think medication for my blood condition is less important than a fluffly skirt you are retarded.

>>5518550
That has been established. But thank you anyway for that observation. I'll write it down with all the other obvious things people say about me online.

>>5518275
I just couldn't resist, it made lol'd so hard

>>5518577
Except I'm not telling you to cut down on the medication you buy so you can buy clothes, I'm telling you to cut what you can so everything you buy doesn't have to be shit. Live in a smaller house or apartment, stop buying Oreos and soda, just things like that. So when you go to buy things like clothes, you don't have to get shit products from China. Same for everything in life. Maybe afford a couch that my grandma didn't throw away. I see you have Febreeze, what smells? Pets? General laziness? Maybe if you knew how to clean up after yourself you wouldn't have to waste money on masking your smells. Or is it for the smell that comes from your fat folds?

>>5518577

And this is how OPs get trolled and bashed on and how ED pages happen..

>>5518809

Yea, I wanted to defend OP but all of her responses have made me decided to sit back and enjoy the show

Wait so you're supporting your fiance? Tell that niggah to get his ass a job. Damn.

>>5518831
This. I'm a plus size lolita who is fighting hard to lose the weight. Yeah, genetics, whatever, everyone in my family is fat. I go to the gym 4 times a week and eat proper food - I may never be skinny but at least I'll be healthy and not have diabetes. I won't buy replicas and I'm not so deluded to think that AP owes me anything - it's not their job to make clothes for fat americans. There are so many other options for me to look as good as I can while I lose the weight - brand and otherwise that why bother wasting money on some photocopied gluey nasty replica. All of my rage.

>>5519119
No he has a job.

>>5519518
It was my first time buying a replica though. I mentioned this, right?

>>5518710
It's the smoke cancelling febreze. My sister was helping me move and she chainsmoked the entire time she was here.

I wish for this thread to die now because nothing productive happened. Sorry about messing up the board guys.

I feel like I would understand the "buy brand" mentality if AP was actually worth the price. Not saying the replicas are better but some AP is pure shit.

>>5519532
Hurr, then delete the thread, you twit.

>>5519532
don't apologize to these self-righteous douchebags op

>>5519654
Depends on the consumer, I guess. I'm not a fan of AP, because I think are their Sugary Carnival-type stuff are pure crap.

Here's a print I wouldn't mind paying for though.

>>5519671
Because fuck grammar at 1 in the morning,

>>5519671
I like these toned down prints best. I've also become more interested in their print-less dresses. They have nice details you don't always find in their prints.

Perhaps looking at actual replicas may be good.

I like lolita and the look of it and I've started to get a couple of brand dresses however I saw a replica in Camden, London, and I thought it was actually pretty good. When I compared it to the original, it wasn't bad for 30 quid and for just a pretty skirt which I knew is still quite expensive second hand I thought it couldn't hurt. Either way, here are a couple of photos. I think the difference is that I saw this replica in real life before I bought it rather than used blind faith and ordered from China.

As you can see there's some slight fading of the print near the top but that's easily covered with a waistcoat. Instead of a pathetic bow there was some waist ties, they weren't the best but still more functional than just a bow with a clip. The lace doesn't actually feel cheap and it's lined with a bit of netting sewed on top of the lining.

>>5517994
>>5517994
>And they overprice. 80 dollars for a plastic ring. Seems legit.

I am really sick of noobs spreading that myth. AP rings cost always between 25 and 35 dollars. Yes, it's higher than crappy plastic rings that you buy on etsy cause they are brand, so you pay for the name, but also they are original designs and not a cheap default cabochon stuck on a ring. Also, if you go to buy a ring at Asos or Accessorize or Topshop, it will cost around 10-15 dollars and most of these are cheaply made in China for a buck or something. Just because something is made from plastic doesn't mean it should cost a penny. Most metals that are used by high street stores are cheap and shit and often easier to work with than acrylic.

>>5519703
It's really pathetic how brand haters like to constantly say the price is higher than it is. It just shows they have no idea what they're talking about and lose all credibility. We already know how much brand cost and that it's a little high, think inflating the cost is going to fool us and make you sound cool?

>>5519708
I think it's cause most of them have 1. caught a glimpse of sellers overpricing stuff on the sales comm cause they are factoring in what it cost them in shipping + SS costs etc and 2. have never actually bought anything straight from a brand so they have no idea of the actual retail price.

>>5517858
>>5517600
>Complains about quality
>"You worry how you spend your money, and I'll worry how I spend mine"

wut

When you don't have a defined waistline, lolita is going to look shit no matter how much you spend on it.

>>5519703
Burando is mass produced. Etsy gives you the opportunity, if the seller is good, to own a unique piece.
