Bodyline Review

 I got my other two Bodyline packages a couple of weeks after the last package...I just neglected to post for a variety of reasons. I'm a super busy gal (and also super lazy), but I will try my best to fit more time into blogging.

I had thought that my packages would come in order, but they did not. I first of all got the shoes delivered to me, which I ordered quite a while after everything else, than my other package came a few days later.

I ordered in the first package five pairs of stockings, a coat, a dress and a pair of bloomers, The other package was two pairs of tea parties. I ordered Bodyline L031 in purple, Bodyline H005 in off white (cream) and Bodyline PAN028 in black. As for the shoes I ordered SHOES256 in both black and pink.

Overall I'm rather happy with my order. The stockings are all good quality especially for their price of USD$3. The bloomers are quite nice, and are really light and airy. I think they will also make great pajama shorts for Summer as well. The coat is really good quality, and looks absolutely adorable. I love all the bows and the cute little pom poms on the pockets. The coat has lining and seems to sit nicely with a petticoat underneath, The coat will need a good iron before I wear it next Winter, but for now it will just sit in the cupboard.


The coat is a little thin, and wouldn't provide that much warmth. It should be fine for me if I wear rather warm clothes underneath, and seems like it will do the trick for the Australian Winter. If you however live in a really cold climate, you may not want to buy this coat to survive the Winter, but rather maybe use it for Fall instead.

The dress I received is super pretty, and it fits surprisingly well. My only concern when I got it, was that it looked more brown than purple. I can somewhat see how it is a purple dress in a way, but they could have chosen a prettier shade don't you think? Oh well, it has polka dots on it (who doesn't love polka dots).

I wore the dress to anime club after I had received it, and to International Lolita Day. It's quite comfortable, and a decent dress for Summer....it's just really hard to coordinate though.

International Lolita Day was a really hot day

The tea parties are also quite good...yet they don't fit. I went off Bodyline's shoe sizing chart, and obviously that was wrong. I think I need half a size or a whole size smaller next time I buy their shoes. By adding in some comfort gel things onto the heels they fit slightly better, and they don't move around too much with all the buckles done up thank goodness. Other than the size issue, I am quite happy with them. The colours are adorable, and I love how they are made. My favourite thing about them, is the press studs on the shoes. Once you have the buckles done up to how you desire, you no longer need to use them. Just click and un-clip the shoes using the press studs to get them on and off.

Overall I think I'd give about a 7 or an 8 out of ten for my order. As although they aren't perfect, I am pretty damn happy with what I received for such a small price.

Bodyline Review

Who could honestly resist the free shipping and all the cheap prices on Bodyline...honestly who could? Of course I had to go ahead and buy heaps of things from Bodyline while I could still get amazing bargains. I bought three separate orders, and have been waiting for what feels like forever to get all my stuff.

I finally got my first package delivered this afternoon, and I almost squealed in delight at the excitement. I ordered Bodyline Skirt L401, a pair of socks, and these wrist cuffs.

My skirt in an idea for a casual coord

I am extremely happy with the skirt, it's amazing quality and the print is so cute. It's slightly lose on me and I feel like it could do with a much bigger petticoat than what I own, but this is just me nit picking rather than complaining. The skirt overall was priced at US$16 when I bought it, and was of course cheaper after doing the yen trick. This you can agree is an amazing bargain, overall I'm extremely pleased.

socks and wrist cuffs

My only complaint is that it is not the colour I wanted. I wanted to buy the skirt in light pink, and even bought wrist cuffs to match with it. I'm not sure if I bought the wrong colour by mistake, or if
there has been a slight mishap somewhere along the line. It's more likely my own fault as I was a little confused when trying to pick the colour. I clicked the same letters that were on the light pink skirt though, so I don't know what's happened there.

The wrist cuffs are extremely nice, and I'm really happy with them as my first pair of wrist cuffs. The lace quality is nice, and the pearls are a pretty touch. Of course just like the skirt, the wrist cuffs are slightly lose on me as I'm a tiny little thing with little wrists as well as a tiny little waist. I might go and buy myself a black and white pair to go with one of my other dresses next time I make an order, as I'm extremely pleased with the quality. Although they aren't the same shade of pink as my skirt, I'm sure they'll still do fine. The tea parties I ordered are also light pink, so I'm hoping that'll tie the whole outfit in.

The knee high socks I ordered were just as I expected for the price. The socks themselves are made out of pretty decent cotton, but the lace is pretty cheap and it has crappy satin ribbons. The lace itself isn't too bad and it isn't exactly noticeable. Although one of the ribbons on the socks doesn't sit right, and it really annoys me. I'm wondering if I can somehow take them off without ruining the entire sock.

All in all I'm pleased with my order. Everyone know's Bodyline isn't perfect, especially in the Lolita Fashion scene, but you get what you pay for. I think I've managed to pick up some great bargains that will work great in casual outfits. Overall I give my order a 6/10, and I cannot wait to see what my next package brings.

My Lolita Fashion Timeline and How I've Improved!

This was something I felt like I should show everyone. As some of us do start out as the dreaded 'itas' and a lot of us young Lolitas have very little money to spend on such decadent clothing. We all make mistakes, yet sometimes mistakes are meant to be made so we can learn from them. With effort and willingness to learn, everyone will eventually get there, no matter how horrible you started out. 

My start into Lolita Fashion wasn't all the best, but I learnt from my mistakes and have made a huge improvement. I haven't much of a budget to spend on Lolita, nor much confidence to wear the clothes, yet this is something that I love and will continue doing. Hopefully as time goes by, my outfits will get better and I will slowly have more of a wardrobe.

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party!

I went to a friends tea party today, and it was a lot of fun. There was so much nice food that I wish that I could have eaten more, but I became full very quickly. As you can see from the photo's the whole party is beautifully done, and  I commend them for doing a wonderful job. I had such great time today, and it was a chance to catch up with friends that I hadn't seen in a long time.

Outfit Of The Day!

Shoes- offbrand
Skirt- Bodyline
Blouse- AnnaHouse
Petticoat- Dear Celine Frothy Petticoat II

Well here's a random outfit post. I shall try to do more little random posts when I can, as I have so little time to do actual in depth blog posts now days.

As usual I had dressed in Lolita for the anime club I attend at the local library. Considering I wear Lolita most times the club is on, and some people cosplay and also wear alternative fashion, I'd assumed that everyone who went to the library was used to it by now. Although I was wrong it seems, as we must have had a newcomer in the library this night as I got asked a very odd question.

Usually I get odd looks when I'm shopping with friends from people at school and that's usually about it. Sometimes I even get compliments which baffles and surprises me, as I have always expected negative outcomes...

Tonight though I got the dreaded "Are you going to a play?"

I have heard this response so many times on the internet from other Lolita's saying they get it all the time, yet surprisingly I have never had this asked before. I felt a little downcast from this response to be honest, as surely Lolita isn't that strange that you assume it only to be appropriate for a play. I have been feeling rather down in confidence lately to be honest, as much as I love this fashion, people still find it so strange. What is so wrong with me wanting to dress in cute clothes.

I know the random guy was just curious, and I politely responded with "no this is how I usually dress". Although it still somewhat upsets me somehow that people seem so confused by my clothing. I like to dress this way because it makes me happy, but I hate attention.

Other than that I had a great night, we even played hide & go seek in the library. In the photo of my outfit I was hiding in the disabled toilets with a friend during the game.

What was the most negative response you have had in Lolita? Have you ever had one of those days where even if you expected the response, you just felt so unhappy at a strangers comment? Talk about your experience of wearing Lolita out in public in the comments below.

Mr Yan Body Pillow Anyone?

For those who don't know who the infamous Mr Yan is, he is the bad English speaking owner of Bodyline. He has numerous rumors about him floating around on the internet for his sketchy behavior and his liking to prey on young innocent girls as well as many other things. Here is an example.

And hilariously enough, there is an event on Facebook asking if we want a body pillow made of this guy. I'm not sure if this is legitimate or just a funny troll, but I am both in hysterics and equally creeped out by this. Either this guy has the biggest ego ever, or he thinks he's hilarious.

This event has been going for a while, and has already finished. We have yet to discover if this is a real event or not, and to see if he will actually make body pillows of himself for everyone who wants one.

What do you think of this event? Do you find it funny? Hilarious? Disturbing and creepy? Do you believe that it's a real event?

Here are some hilarious posts from the event...

A Flower Themed Coordinate- LBC

This weeks topic for Lolita Blog Carnival is 'Create A Flower Themed Coordinate'. I wanted to create something relatively simple and affordable, reflecting my own style in Lolita. I just love Anna House's new floral dress, so I decided to base my coordination around it. What do you think?

The rest of the items (excluding the random headband) are items from Bodyline.

Here are some more flower themed coords....

Skirt and blouse- Anna House, shoes and wig- Bodyline

Bonnet and skirt- Mystery Garden, cardigan shoes and wig- Bodyline,

Bodyline Review

My second time purchasing off Bodyline and I can now say I am apprehensive about buying online without looking up proper reviews first. I purchased Bodyline L110, Bodyline L130 (OWH), Bodyline PAN079 and as extras ACC701 and ACCESSORY988 (beg).
