Fashion Vocabulary [1]: Main pieces - part 1

Fashion vocabulary, jsk, op, apron skirt, mintyfrills, angelic pretty, sweet lolita
Toy Doll Box, Marine Kingdom, Diner Doll
I think there's a lot of words used when talking about lolita and other fashions that can be confusing for people who are new to it. I want to make a series of posts to talk about fashion vocabulary. Its starting really simple but later I want to get into talking about different silhouettes, pleats and fabrics. So we all can have a better vocabulary for talking about the fashions we love. In this post I want to start out talking about some main pieces. 
Fashion vocabulary, op, mintyfrills, angelic pretty, sweet lolita
Fantastic Carnival, Drink Me, Milky Cross, Lovely Snow
OP is short for onepiece (not like the anime) but referring to it being a complete main piece that you don't need to wear with a blouse. You can think about the name as how people usually describes men's suits, like a three piece suit. OP's are dresses with sleeves, it can have short or long sleeves. Some have collars and others have rounded necklines. OP's can be perfect for beginners since you don't have to worry about a blouse to wear with it. Though the downside is that they are not as versatile, since varying the blouse is a good way to make more different outfits with the same dress.

Fashion vocabulary, jsk, jumperskirt, mintyfrills, angelic pretty, sweet lolita
Romantic Cat, Eternal Carnival, Fantastic Horoscope, Sugary Cross
JSK is short for jumperskirt, a sleeveless dress usually worn with a blouse underneath. JSK's are very versatile since they can look very different by switching out what kind of blouse you wear with it.

Fashion vocabulary, apron skirt, mintyfrills, angelic pretty, sweet lolita
Happiness Easter, Fruits Parlor, Decoration Dream, Magical Etoile
Apron skirts, unlike jumperskirts, are actually skirts. Its a skirt with the added apron part, that can make it easier to coordinate than a regular skirt. Usually the apron part is detachable and can be transformed into a regular skirt. 

I will make a bunch more of these posts so check back soon again!

Angelic Pretty: Milky Swan

mintyfrills kawaii cute sweet lolita fashion pretty dress jsk op

So Angelic Pretty released Milky Swan a few weeks ago! This print really has a sweet and soft look to it. The art style is a bit different from many other AP prints, it looks a bit classic but still really sweet.

This release has two different OP's to chose from which I think is pretty cool, the one to the right looks like it has a much more comfy fit. As you all know by now I'm not a big fan of sheer overlays but it looks pretty cute with this print, it gives it a very soft look.

I love the bodice of the jsk, the design is just so detailed and looks really slimming. More like this please! Love all the lace.

Angelic Pretty: Vintage Doll




New release from AP, a really but stylish OP. This time my favorite is the black one actually! I think it could be coorded so nicely! I think the embroidered text on the bow is really cute. What do you think of it?

Angelic Pretty: 6 non print OP's available now!


With prints selling out on the first day I would like to share some really cute OP's that are not sold out at the moment! Angelic Pretty really have some adorable non print dresses also and I think people miss them a lot. The two dresses above are sooo cute and fluffy, I really like the trend of more sheer fabrics being used. And the cuts are really cute.

Here are the link for them:
1/2
3/4
5/6



The yellow x pink combination looks really sweet and different, this color combo should be used more! I love all the little ribbons. The second one above looks really fancy and could be coorded a bit more classic too. The blue colorway has a really soft feel.



To the left is a more casual type of cut that I think can be coorded really cute with some splashes of color! The last one is really interesting, I look forward to seeing it irl, it looks a little bit maid/Alice like, but I think it really depends on how you coord it.

Angelic Pretty: British Bear


The next upcoming release from Angelic Pretty is British Bear and will be up in the store tomorrow (14/11). The print comes in pretty dark colors but I feel like it would look really cute for Christmas. My favorite pick would be the OP in red! As you all probably understand this isn't totally my style but I still think it looks really cute. I can't wait for spring to come around so that there will be things more in my taste in stores generally.

Angelic Pretty: Luminous Sanctuary


Yet another Angelic Pretty release coming up! Luminous Sanctuary really has a classical feel to it and I think it will go well with the current trends in lolita. I love that the print is very different from other AP prints, its classic yet still really sweet. I actually love this on in the black colorway!

Angelic Pretty: Dreamy Planeterium


Angelic Pretty is releasing a really cute space themed dress called 'dreamy planetarium'. I think all the colorways look really great and I love the cut of the OP with the big bow. If I was going to get it I would of wanted the lightest one, but I don't think this dress is quite my style! Can't wait to see great coords with this though!

Angelic Pretty: Menuet Bouquet


Angelic Pretty just released Menuet Bouquet, a beautiful floral print. I saw it in the fashion show at HelloCon and the colors really pop out! I'm really in love with the OP, it looks super different in the different colorways due to the accent ribbons. Bad news for anyone hoping to get their hands on it since its already sold out!

Angelic Pretty: Dolly Cat


Still not released yet is Dolly Cat! Of all the prints from Angelic Pretty's sweet spring/summer collection this might be the sweetest! With how well all the dresses have been selling it seems that sweet Lolita is not at all dead. My favorite detail on these dresses is the contrasting ribbons, can't wait to see the other colorways! (Also kittens dude, kittens.)

Angelic Pretty: Cherry Marguerite


Angelic Pretty will be releasing the anticipated Cherry Marguerite this weekend, it will be interesting to see how quickly it sells out! My favorite this time is the red OP, I honestly don't like the other colorways that much but it will be interesting to see how people will coord them! Are you getting this one or are you still holding out for an other dream dress?

Angelic Pretty: Melty Berry Princess


Word on the lolita groups is that Melty Berry Princess will be released early to mid April, so get your wallet ready berry lovers! I really love the color of the red one above but it seems like the strawberries kinda disappear on the red background so I would probably go for the white colorway. I'm also kinda skeptical as to how the lavender colorway will look, but I guess only time will tell!

Angelic Pretty: Melty Berry Princess


Angelic pretty are releasing a new strawberry collection called Melty Berry Princess and I love love love it! The strawberries look so cute and I love all the frills on the OP, its fun that they have been doing more interesting cuts for their print dresses! Its cool that they are doing a new version of their popular strawberry bag (that bodyline also did a copy of). I have the old one so if I get this dress it would be a new chance to use it. Also did you notice that headbow? Its huge!! Hope they will do more headbows like this.

I really like this dress, though I must say that the name reminds me of berry princess in Adventure Time, watching too many cartoons.~
