Oh well, let's get started ~
For all my previous coords, I wore black shoes and it didn't looked really good. Sometimes though, I borrowed my friend shoes for some shoots. Anyway, that explains why I really had to buy cute shoes that were less... dark ahah. Since I am mostly wearing pale colors, I bought white shoes from Bodyline. Long story short : they didn't fit me. (Yes, it's those bigger-than-my-feets-shoes that you can see on my Ste-Dolorès pictures.) So I bought other shoes : this time, they fit me! Their nice service led me to try buying clothes from them. I am aware that Bodyline isn't a '' lolita brand'' but I wanted to try buying a dress under a hundred dollars you know LOL. Well, I also know for sure that you don't have to wear brand clothes to be a lolita. You just have to look for the right shape of a dress, a certain look and voilà! Of course I'm not talking about replicas here... but more on that later! So here it is, my review about Bodyline : I bought shoes, and then after that a dress and a cutsew. (ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ
*About Bodyline: This is a japanese store that sells a lot of different clothes. In facts, they're selling clothing for kids, cosplay accessories or costumes, punk garments, a lot of different shoes, accessories of all kind and a couple of lolita pieces. What attracts people to this shop are mainly it's low prices. They sell a couple of great things! You have to be careful with what you buy there, but that's the same thing for everything you order online on any website. Always check you orders or measure yourself correctly before ordering any piece of clothing or any pair of shoes. If not, you'll make the same mistake as me and buy shoes that won't fit oops.(*´∀`)'''''
*Shipping : Ahh... I still have a love/hate relationship with post canada. Well, my dress came like... 5 days after the delay, but it's really not Bodyline's fault I think, since my previous buying of my shoes did arrived in time. I'd say it deserves a 4.5/5 to be fair.
*Communication : Great! They always send you a receipt, a confirmation for the payment, an e-mail including a tracking number for free... that's really nice! After all, it's a shop that is very well known, so it's 5/5!
*Service : I took a few pictures so you can see ~
Note that I didn't put a picture of how my shoes were delivered, but to make a quick description of it : it was in a solid cardboard box, well closed with silk paper around each shoe. But yeah, for the dress and the cutsew, they were delivered in the same package (of course) and wrapped in two differents bags inside the package. I love how you can see through them, it's really cool! The smell of the clothes waw a liiiitle bit stockroom like, but it felt just like it was new clothes from any other boutique. It was very well packed and I am really satisfied, so it's 4.9/5 woohoo scooore!
*Product quality : I have to tell, I am kinda impressed! The dress is soft on your skin, so is the cutsew.
The colors looks exactly like what they show on their website, I am very happy with that. For sure, the dress cannot be compared as Baby the Stars Shine Bright's quality of course, but it's still really good. The only detail I dislike is the front bow... it kinda falls off a bit forward. (￣^￣)'' I think I am a little bit disappointed by the print tho, because after a small research, I discovered that this print was used a lot for other dresses in other stores. It disappoint me a bit because the real creator of this print has his work stolen? Or was it a ''generic print'' that I bought? I don't know, I have mixed feelings about that. (」ﾟヘﾟ)」 I still think the dress looks cute though! I like it very much! It's just that the print could've been a bit more special? But it's entirely my fault, I should've look better before buying it. I have nothing bad to tell about the cutsew though, it looks super cute! Really, it is soooo comfortable and lovely <3
This is a little close-up of the print that is on my dress.
Of course, I won't forgot to talk about my shoes! They look lovely don't they? Here is a little close-up ~
I know, my sock are kinda grey-ish oops ;^;
There is a lot of people, even experienced lolita, that buy their shoes from Bodyline. Why you ask? The reason is simple : The price! Also, they have a lot of different colors for the same type of shoes, different heights and differents sizes. It's easy shopping on Bodyline for shoes, but you have to order the exact same dimension of your feet. Well it sure depends on how your feets are, but for me, I ordered my first pair of shoes with slightly more centimeters than I shoul have. I thought it would fit if I put on more thick socks... ERROR. They were really big, I had to put paper inside them ... Oops. (^^ゞ Anyway, now these are simply perfect. I'd say for the quality of the shoes, there is a bit of a problem : If you accidentally rub them on something more dark, they get marks. It can be easily removed with nail remover though! Yeah, I know the trick! But they're still really malleable and get scratched really easily. It's a bit sad, but they're cheap, so (˘v˘)¬
Quality of the dress : 4/5
Quality of the cutsew : 5/5
Quality of the shoes : 3.5/5
Average product quality : 4.2/5 !
So that's it! I hope you enjoyed this quite big review. I am trying as hard as possible to do at least a review every month, so I hope you guys enjoy reading me! I am so happy about my dress, my cutsew and my shoes!
