Bodyline review (*^▽^*)ゞ

So late again, I'm sorry (/□＼*)・゜I'm sure you don't care about my stories, but it's mostly because of school and a new appartment. I also had to wait because my shoes were too big for me (but it's all my fault, it was my first order for shoes online ahah)
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!

The very late story of my first Sainte-Dolorès

Hi guyys! I am so damn late for that... and for all the other things. I guess writing blogs entries still isn't a part of my daily routine. But I think I am becoming a liiiiiitle bit better now. For my english skills, I still don't know if I improved... you tell me! (⌒_⌒;)

So yup, the Sainte-Dolorès! Let me explain a bit too you : This event is like ''National Lolita Day'' here in Québec. We meet together and we have a tea party including photoshoots after. It is usually around june 11th.

Since I've never tried Lolita before, the past year tho' I just got more and more interested in this fashion.

***There is a thing I haven't tell you all. I already have tried the style. Indeed, when I wrote the entry about my Kyary Pamyu Pamyu concert, I didn't talked about the day after, but Cadney took me to my real first lolita meeting. Obviously, I didn't had any lolita clothes or anything, so she lends me one of her dress and so many accessories! I still can't explain how much happy I was. It was like a dream come true. Cadney, I could never thank you enough for that! \(*///Σ///*)\  She introduced me to her friends in Toronto and we went eating at a cool restaurant. After that, we took a lot of pictures of course! So here it is, a picture at my first try wearing lolita, perfectly guided by the incredible Cadney <3 ***

All of this tho, happened a while ago. It was just an introduction to show you that I've been interested in wearing that style since then ahah. After my big discovery, I tried to buy myself a real lolita dress. I absolutely wanted a dress from Angelic Pretty to be my first dress ever. After looking at all the procedures to buy a dress, I mainly started to panic because I didn't understood all the basics. You have to use a shopping service to buy from AP or buying a second-hand dress through someone on the iternet. I wasn't really sure about the second option because I was afraid of buying a replica dress as my first dress ever or scared that something would go wrong with my package. Then, one of my friend from Montréal ( Mochi ) decided to sell one of her Angelic Pretty dress. I nearly fall in love with this dress and decided to buy from her. Not only it was less expensive because the dress was second-hand, but also I didn't have to pay any shipping fees. Plus, she is really someone I can trust and I knew she wouldn't sell a replica to me. After I saw the dress, I bought it for nearly half the original price! It was the perfect way to buy my first lolita dress ever.

 Coming back to my first subject : Sainte-Dolorès. A lot of my lolita friends were going to this event and I got invited. Since I acquired myself a dress almost only for this occasion, I indeed wore it with pride and confidence. ｡^‿^｡ The event this year took place in a community center in Montréal. The look of the place wasn't really super chic but the organizers really tried hard to make it look cute. And they totally nailed that! We had a cute buffet with all kinds of sandwiches and good food. They hired people to make the food and it was really nice. The desert was my favourite part : They made macarons! I've never ever even saw this desert in front of my eyes. They were absolutely DELICIOUS! Of course, we also had cake and we played awesome games like ''The brand is right'' or ''Find the replica''. I didn't knew most of the answers but some of the girls looked like they were experts ahah. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖  If I talk about my personnal experience with more details, I was there with Robin, the designer of Pinkly Ever After! Also, I found myself with Cadney and William, two really talented and nice friends of mine that are into lolita fashion /ouji style. Oh, not to forgot the awesome Criic Pastelbox, and so many other friends that I met there!

Finally, it is time for the great surprise!!! *Drum rolls please!* TADAAAAA. Me in my first Lolita dress ever! It's called Ribbon Ribbon JSK from Angelic Pretty. It as a dress from 2008! So old school ahah!

I am wearing my Pinkly Ever After blouse with the JSK. What do you think? I thought the colors were really nice together ahah. I am also wearing some basic Bodyline shoes (review coming soon) and Princess Crystal Ribbon in my hair, also from PEA. I bought my necklace at an artist table at the Otakuthon. As soon as I can find and remember her shop again I will give you the link, I promise! I am wearing light pink tights and offrband socks with everything. I tried to make the dress as puffy as possible, but the dress is really heavy! Like, it's all woolen and difficult to puff ahah. But hey, I tried! I think it still looks really nice （⌒//v//⌒）The picture was taken by the Mademoiselle Chèvre ( please check her website!) 

And now, time for other pictures from the event!
