Angelic Pretty x Wish me mell: Whip Cream Princess

 

Another Angelic Pretty x Wish Me Mell Collaboration! They have made several collaborations before and it's usually really cute prints. I think their aesthetic goes well together.

I think this print is cute but some things I find kinda lazy. The pattern style is a pretty basic one-directional cameo layout. There are six different motifs but only two different frames and even the two different ones are very similar still. Between the cameo motifs is a really simple pattern with the same rose between every just in different colors. This print is way less effort than most of the prints Angelic Pretty makes. It's not about how simple the print is, its that the print reuses the same image a lot which is simply less work to do. I'm not sure about the trim that is made to look like whipped cream, I would have to see it in person or better images to know what I think. It looks pretty good on the collar of the OP though I wish the collar was rounded instead of the sharp corner. The waist ribbon is pretty cute, pretty basic cuts but it works with the design. 

The print comes in three colorways; pink, lavender and mint. The print has the exact same colors on all colorways, usually Angelic Pretty will change them a bit to go with each colorway better. The Print has blue, lavender, pink and yellow. This should make it really easy to make nice coordinates with this dress. The shades of these colors are pretty typical so there should be lots of options. 

It's a cute dress but I think it's just a bit lazy in some places. I think I like their previous collab print more than this one.

Angelic Pretty: Moco Moco Bunnys

Today's post is about Angelic Pretty's new print series Moco Moco Bunnys, that will be released on saturday this weekend. The print is really cute but it has the same issue with the textile that I talked about in my previous post about Toys Museum. The slight transparency of the fabric makes the print more dull than it would be on an opaque textile. The print again has a plain background and is in quite large scale. The pattern is a non directional allover pattern, I feel like its almost too large in scale, it would look nicer if it was a bit smaller but that might be an side effect of the print being less clear on this textile.

None of the cuts are anything special though they offer more options for this one. This kind of jsk style is pretty easy to coordinate and I like that the bow by the neckline is in a contrasting color. The folded ribbon style on the jsk and salopette look a lot better than the basic tied silk ribbons on the other cuts. They also have the dot trim at the bottom which at least is a bit different. 

The Mint colorway will only be available at the stores in Nagoya and Shibuya sadly. The Mint salopette reminds me of my mint dreamy dollhouse salopette which I would choice over this any day. 

Angelic Pretty has a lot of different styles of illustrating bunnies and most of the styles featured in this print design are my least favorite kind. The best one here in my opinion is the cute marshmallow bunny that they used as an applique. I actually do like these sweaters but I think the neckline is a bit high for taste (for comfort reasons) and it's not cute enough for that price. I love small pets and I also love to draw them, I have a pet peeve with bunnies being drawn with two eyes since from almost all angles you only see one eye at a time so it looks kinda off. I get that the illustrations are depicting plush bunnies but I still think these are way less cute than many others Angelic Pretty has designed before. (Should I make a top list of best AP bunnies maybe?)

Hope you enjoyed this post, check back again soon!

Outfit: Sugary Spring Happy Garden

I wanted to do a really sweet outfit and thought I hadn't worn this dress in a while! I really love Happy Garden, its such a super cute print. I know a lot of people don't like the highwaisted cuts but I think they suit me.

Outfit rundown:

Dress, cutsew, shoes, bag, socks, hair bows, bow bracelet, rings: Angelic Pretty

Wig: Dream Holic

I ended up changing out the necklaces to an other one I made in paler colors. I also changed the shoes since my Angelic Pretty ones need to be fixed! (The bottom of them is coming off) I also added some pink bows to the front of the dress which I really think pulls the look together. Even though this is an easter themed print I don't want to limit myself to just wearing it for easter. Its a cute dress with cute bun buns for any time of the year!

I did really cute and sweet makeup, its been a long time since I wore both circle lenses and a wig! I love this wig, the colors are so cute. I've been making these star clips that I really like, I want to make more of them, maybe some to sell?

Here are two extra outfit pictures, hope you like this look!

Outfit: Candy Treat

I really like this dress, its so colorful! I coorded it with blue so that it would match my hair. I feel like I need to get a blue lolita bag, keep needing to coord in pink into my coords. I wore the socks, headbow and waist ties (which you cant see but they are there) so that it would match really nicely. 

outfit rundown:

Dress, hair bows, bag, cutsew, shoes, socks, wrist cuffs: Angelic Pretty

Necklaces: Handmade by me

I think my necklaces matched really nicely with the outfit, I'm really happy with the recent pieces I've been making. These are now available in my webshop!

Love wearing lots of pins!

My hair has curled but I got caught in the rain and my hair got ruined, but I think it still looked kinda cute.

Royal Princess Alice: Magic Girl Perfume Pot

They have done it again! Royal Princess Alice continues to abuse absolutely fantastic prints by putting them on totally mediocre dress cuts. The new one is called Magic Girl Perfume Pot. I'm just so confused by the easily fixed fails.

First let me just say that the print really is fantastic, both colorways are perfect for it too. The perfume bottles look so magical and sparkly. This could of been such a nice dress which just makes it so much more disappointing when they fall short. So lets go on with picking apart the failings of RPA.

Lets start with the jsk, I mean its not horrible but the shape is just off. the skirt part is a bit too long. its nice with trim in the bottom but the frills they added look a bit out of place with this dress, like its a underskirt added instead of part of the dress. I think a shorter lace would of looked a lot better and some detailing on the skirt to connect them better. I have no idea why they keep trying to add the big sheer ribbons on everything since they cant make them look nice. It should of been layered and the middle part is too think so it just looks wonky. If the bow was actually done right then it could of looked nice with the dress at least.

Then on the OP we are back to no bottom trim at all which just makes it look kinda cheap. The sleeves don't have any details either, I wish there was a bow, cute buttons, some lace or trim? something? The bows in the front just look really sad, please learn how to make cute bows. I don't get the style of ruffle on the bodice and it just looks weird that it continues down the back of the dress.

In conclusion: why do you do this to me? I just want you to succeed because you have such pretty prints. I'm just wishing for better in the future.

Outfit: Polka Dot Chocolate

I bought this dress from a friend a while back but didn't really feel comfortable in it but I tried it now again and actually really liked it. A lot of people don't like this type of cut on dresses, I mean with the free waist. I think its really cute, decided to wear my big Angelic Pretty petticoat which gave it a really nice shape. I also like that the blue dots match my haircolor.

Outfit rundown:

Dress, bag, shoes, hair bows, wrist cuffs, rings: Angelic Pretty

bubble necklace and bracelets: 6%DOKIDOKI

pink necklace: made by me

rainbow pin: meltychocolatemoon

socks: monki

I love wearing a lot of accessories! I think the dress looked a lot cuter with lots of pins. Since its a chocolate print I thought the ice cream necklace and ring. Also thought the teacup would be cute with the theme. I'm happy that I have the matching hair bow and wrist cuffs. I love the 6%DOKIDOKI necklace and bracelets, try to use them as much as possible. Also happy to use the pink cute necklace that I made myself.

Been trying to do more different hairstyles since I have longer hair now. I had lots of cute bows all around. Have to recolor my hair now though!
