Bodyline Wig058 Review

I'm normally not the kind of person to post reviews, but seeing as how a hard time I had at finding reviews for Bodyline's wig058 I decided to give it a go.

For those not familiar with Bodyline, it is a Japanese shop selling a variety of items, ranging from cosplay costumes and wigs to lolita clothing and wigs. Bodyline has been one of the places where people bought their accessories like shoes and tights. While they do sell lolita dresses and blouses the quality can vary a lot and I would advise to make sure the garment is of good quality either by reading reviews or visiting their physical store in Japan.
You can find the online shop here, there is currently a big sale going on as the site will soon be moving to another page. Shipping is free from a certain order amount.

I had always stayed away from Bodyline wigs, as I had heard some negative things about some of the wigs on the site. However, included in the recent sales were the ringlet wigs (not the one this review is about), being an old-school lolita I couldn't resist being that wig. I had also been wondering how a bob cut would look on me, so I bought wig058 to try it out.

Ordering and shipping went smoothly, it took roughly 1 week for the package to reach me.
I ordered the color lightbrown-4, which turned out to be pretty close to my natural blonde color.
The quality is really decent for a Bodyline wig, it is not really shiny, though I haven't looked at it in direct light. The fibers are okay, close-up you will easily see that it is a wig, but in pictures people actually believed I had cut my hair.
The only downside is that the ends don't curl inwards like on the photo. This might be adjusted by using some heat to re-style it, but I haven't tried it yet.
I've attached a photo of the wig worn by me, this was straight out of the package, so I haven't cut the bangs or tried to style the hair ends inwards.

Good luck with your next Bodyline order!

Old School Meet

On 22-06-2014 Josine and I organized the old school meeting. We both love old school clothes, and we are regularly discussing old school finds. We felt there was a lack of opportunities to wear our old school clothes, thus the meet was born.
Slowly time passed by, until 22-06 and to our great surprise we had gathered a group of 14 lolitas who wanted to join the meet.
We agreed to meet at Utrecht Central station at the Bruna (a bookshop). Everyone arrived at the assigned time, except Pichi Pie, who was accidentally standing at the wrong Bruna, we felt so guilty because we had no idea there was a second one on the station.
After we had the whole group together we walked to King Arthur, a restaurant located near the canals, were we had a nice group lunch.
Once everyone finished their lunch we went on our way to the Oude Hortus, which are the old university gardens that are still being taken care of. We took a lot of photo's here, and I made a short movie in which you can see everyones outfits and just in general how much fun we had.

Behind the Mask

On 3 May 2014 some girls from our comm organized the Behind the Mask event. The dresscode was lolita and masks, such a fancy event gave me the opportunity to use an OTT piece from my wardrobe.
After I had decided on which dress to wear and my main theme, roses, I could start collecting accessories and most importantly start hunting for a mask. Finding just the right mask was quite difficult, but in the end I found the page of an elderly lady who sold made and sold masks. She was selling the exact kind of mask that I had in mind.
The event was held in a beautiful church room, whit plenty of space for all the guests and merchants. There were a few stalls selling all kinds of cute lolita items, I bought an adorable cat necklace for my mom from Senõr Bear. There were also 2 different workshops, one on wig care and the other about tea, I wasn't able to attend them, so I filled my time whit talking to a few old and new friends.
One activity I did participate in was the fashion contest. It was both great and scary at the same time to be competing against all the amazing outfits. I was really surprised when the winners were announced and I won the 3rd price, I won a super cute set from Summer Tales Boutique.

Hello Kitty high tea 23-02-2014

On sunday 23-02-2014 our comm had a Hello Kitty high tea meet. Set Genki Tei in The Hague offered to organize a lolita sunday, offering people a chance to meet lolitas in real life.
I had planned my outfit quite some time ahead of this meeting, I tried to go for a princes looking outfit, including massive poof. I really liked the look of the outfit, but it did give me a bit of a problem moving inside the train.

Outfit rundown: dress & necklace & coat; AatP, shoes; BTSSB, crinoline; 4 O'Clock, underskirt; handmade, tights & tiara; offbrand

I managed to get to The Hague in one piece, where a big group of lolitas were waiting, we actually had such a big group they had to split us up.

The high tea consisted of Hello Kitty shaped cookies, chocolates in the form of Hello Kitty's head, cream puffs (these should have been filled whit red bean according to the description given on the site, however they were just normal cream puffs), blueberry and strawberry cheesecake (also shaped like Hello Kitty's head), sushi (this seemed kind of out of place and honestly didn't taste that good), and a cheese tosti (which were imprinted with a Hello Kitty head, but were really dry and served with jam, I've never seen anyone eat their tosti whit jam :o).
Honestly I was kind of disappointed with the high tea, the tableware and food looked great, but the taste was only so-so.
Still I would go back to Set Genki Tei, as the cheesecakes were little pieces of heaven, and the dinner I had there was great.
I made 2 videos of the meet, one outfit video and one general video.
