Baby the Stars Shine Bright new reservations

Hello! So today when out of boredom I was checking BtSSB and AatP I discovered that on Friday they will be holding reservations!
Hooray or nay? Read yourselves.

Paraiso du un unicorn 

If you thought that AP does do the most lame prints, you were wrong. Actually this time Baby has showed us that we can't have enough of unicorns. And pastels. And cute T-shirts. And angels.
I have no idea what the designers of Baby had been thinking and/or drinking.
"It needs more unicorns!", "It needs more angels!", "Why not both?".

I mean... seriously?! What the... is this!? "Everything sells"?
13,440円

Babydoll for fatty chans <3 I can see it getting sold out really fast :3

Brace yourself, replikas are coming!
And what kind of bag is it? Seriously?
Baby, you disappoint me
By the way this print reminds me of an already existing print by Alice and the Pirates - Night Fairy Fantasia
You know, they could have just re-released the print...

Second (and same disappointing) print is...
Icing Dancing Cake


I mean - Engrish much? Icing? Dancing? Keiku?

I could swear it looks like Bodyline!
It needs more frills and ribbons!
So tacky. It looks ridiculous! Those laces and ribbons... Looks like they couldn't decide which design of a shirt to choose so they made a portmanteau out of a shirt.


Is it just me or did really BtSSB go crazy this round? What do you think of these prints?

Bodyline, seriously?

So in case you haven't been browsing Bodyline much.
Here's their new dress.
for $93 (plus $10 shipping).
Length 90cm
Bust 90-96cm
Waist 76-82cm
It's another Alice in Wonderland theme. The fabric is cute but is it $93 cute?
I'd save my money for Taobao brands. Especially the design is not really amazing?

Innocent World Carriage Tassel vs Infanta Power and Throne

So, today my favourite classical lolita brand - Innocent World - has surprised me with their newest print.

Innocent World

It's name is quite lovely indeed, Carriage Tassel. No, it's not really original (not like BTSSB's or AP's names). We can assume it's all about Carriages (another Cinderella print?!) and tassels.
I can only say that tassels in a dress is not a common thing, and I'm not quite sure if I had seen any brand JSK or OP with tassels (I might be wrong, though).



It comes with standard brown and beige colourway (or rather IW's "chocolate" and "cream"), black and beige and – surprisingly – purple, and in 2 versions - short and long.
Short is being standard 93cm (55cm) long, whilst long is 108cm (68cm).





I'm sorry, Innocent World, with all the love you have from me, I must say that Infanta's newest print - Power and Throne - is so far more interesting.

JSK II

It comes in 2 ways and in 3 colors - Dark Blue, Wine and White.

JSK I 

The price for them is quite decent, being ~$80. The material is velveteen. Embroidery can be either silver or gold.

Problems: bust again!

According to IW's site their dress is just max 98cm, when minimum is 85cm - which is quite a sad news to all the very thin and plus size lolis. 
Infantas XL size is 100cm (bust) and the material being velveteen is known for not stretching easily, leaving a very little breathing room for all those over 90cm bust. Sadly, Infanta does not do custom sizing.

Verdict

I'd say that IW's print is quite lovely, but the carriage print has been for so many seasons now and together with Alice prints is getting a little bit annoying. Infanta's newest baby is ideal for Christmas season, being all velveteen and rather thick, as well as it will please all the A Game of Thrones fans.
