Hello folks, I'm in a super good mood this evening so here's a nice big review for you on many items I've bought from the lovely,
Now Bodyline have been reputed as having a shady past, as they sold underwear and sexy costumes, but to be honest, if I can get a skirt, blouse and socks for under £30 in the perfect Sweet Lolita pastels: I just do not care.
Plus, so many companies in Japan do sell these sorts of items along with clothes, so do many UK and US eBay stores!
I feel like some Lolita girls take themselves and their fashions far too seriously...though more on that at a later date! In the meantime, remember, please remember, fashion is for fun! Lifestyle Lolitas exist, I myself am one, but I don't take myself seriously! I just like doing crafts, singing and high tea, girlie activities!
Also, at lot of *burando* freaks have whinged at me before "Would you not much prefer an *actual* brand like Angel Pretty or Baby?" The honest answer is; No! Bodyline is really the best place I have found for the OTT/Kote Lolita look, they go overboard on the sweet prints, and that's exactly what I like and want!
Plus, surely they are a brand?! I don't really care if I'm wearing a replica! Plus, I wouldn't want to wear a £100+ dress, I would be terrified of ever wearing it out incase it got damaged or something :(
*~~Black Maple Sugar Waffle dress~~*
I bought this as my first ever Lolita dress! I had only done casual before this purchase, and was super duper excited to get it! Although back then I didn't know the JPY trick, essentially it is cheaper throughout the site if you make all the currency Yen! The fast shipping is definitely the best to go for, as you get tracking, and most things to the UK, for me, have arrived in a week!
The print of this dress is so cute, and I have recently bought the same print but in the sax blue skirt ^_^
I was going for a Bittersweet look, so I got the black to team up with plain black socks and my T.U.K kitty shoes!
I'm not even sure I have photos of me in that dress anymore, I really did like it, it fitted amazingly well on my UK 12 frame, apart from the arms were a little tight! I have learned from that mistake though and now only buy shirred sleeves or straps!
I wore it quite a bit, but these were my not very knowing days and I wore it without a petticoat, so it wasn't nearly as pretty as it could have been!

*~~Lilac/Pul Chocoberry skirt~~*
This was my second purchase, and I wish that I still had it! Beautiful colours, I got it in the lilac, called Pul on Bodyline. The colours on the site aren't always exactly the same, it is a little annoying if you are a one or two colour outfit sort of person, but luckily for me, OTT Lolita is all about ALL the colours :D
Arrival time was once again very swift! Always good to pay extra so you can track your delivery I feel :)
It fitted amazingly, but then all M sizes from Bodyline appear perfect for 10-12 UK sizes! It was only just above my knee, as I wear Loli skirts exactly at the waist line for a better fit :)

*~~Sax blue star horse Socks~~*
These are part of my newest purchase, as new as arriving this very morning ^_^
The blue is a teensy bit darker than I would have liked, but I don't think it will be overly noticeable, especially as they look so darn cute with the horse and stars detail anyway!
I suffer from *muscley lady legs thanks to martial arts* so socks don't always fit me properly, these are tight, but not stupidly so! Obviously at 5 feet 8 I'm pushing it for Loli style anyway, and most socks will only ever come up to my knees!

*~~Cherubs decorating cakes bag~~*
I can't find a photo on the internets, I'm sorry :(
Naturally, as an OTT Lolita, I like to mash up all the cutesy prints together! This bag on the site just looked like there were lots of tasty looking desserts to my awful eyesight, in actual fact, there's some cutesy cherubs decorating them!
Unfortunately, bags when they come from Bodyline really do need airing out as they smell weird! I've no idea what the smell is, or why, they just need steaming or airing either way xD obviously it's a cheaper Loli place so basic bag structure and handles, but I'm very careful and gentle with my belongings anyways so it will definitely last ^_^
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that concludes my Bodyline review so far, I've ordered more things tonight though, so when they arrive within the next few weeks I shall be reviewing; a JSK, two skirts and a blouse!
