What tights do you think would go with bodyline's L515 in black? Ive tried wearing solid black tights but it looks a little bit plain. What do you think of checkered or vertical stripes? too busy? Thanks!!~~

I definitely do not think checkers or stripes are the way to go. If you wanted a print socks may be the way to go rather than tights in this case. There's a lot going on with the dress and I think having a little break between the dress and the socks will help keep it from being a little overwhelming. You could go with a print that has sweets like socks424, or bows like Secret Shop's 502. If you wanted to do tights rather than socks I would keep it fairly simple with a more subtle print like hearts or bows. It's a little more detail than solid black but it doesn't take attention away from the dress.

Is BL L515 a replica of Infanta's Strawberry Sundae print or is that fabric just open to the public?

It's publicly available. Classical Puppets has used it too.

I have a question about L515. And yes, I did check the faq. So I plan on getting it in black, but for a more "bittersweet" coord. My sister said I should match it with l364 in purple. There is not a lot of purple in the JSK so I was wondering if you think it would look fine? I was going to coord it with black shoes, black socks, and acc1122 in purple. Also, I realize bodyline is lacking in the headdresses department. Any suggestions? Please and thank you!

I think the purple could work but I would say only if you add more purple to it. Maybe black and purple wristcuffs, a bigger purple hair accessory, and maybe some purple jewelry in a theme that matches the print. Ideally though I think your best option would be to replace the purple with pink since it's already so prominent in the print. That would also give you a good and easy hair accessory that you could use because Infanta has a cute bow that uses the exact same fabric.

Hi! I really love Bodyline's l515, but the idea of it seems kind of overdone. I was wondering if you had any general ideas of how to make a different and interesting coord with it? Also, do you think AP's wonder party socks could work?

I definitely know what you mean by it being overdone. I think the Wonder Party socks could work with it if you incorporated the theme of the socks into the coord which actually works well with what I was going to suggest which was to sort of combine it with Classic elements. You could do something a bit like this where they took the super Sweet print and then toned it down with muted colors that compliment the pastel colors. Then you could add little things like jewelry that relate to the tea pots and cups on the socks which will go well with the Classic look too.

So I'm about to buy Bodyline's L515, but I'm not sure the amount of poof it has room for. I want to get a classical puppets petti but I'm not sure whether to get the super-duper fluffy one or the daily one. I love the large bell shape, I'm just worried the dress won't have room for a really full petti or it won't have enough weight to keep the petti from poofing out or something. Thank you for your help!

I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Knowing my personal experience with the super fluffy petti and looking at the pictures of that JSK, I think it’ll fit just fine.

Okay so I'm putting together my first coord and I could use help. I'm buying from BL so it won't cost an arm and a leg (plus their stuff is cuuuute) and I was thinking about dress L515 in sax, shoes S178 in dark pink, and socks S444. I'm a bit stuck on the blouse though and headdress since I have very short brown hair. Also the dress requires a bell shaped petti right? Thank you so much for the help!

I think what you have so far is cute and works well. For a blouse I would maybe go with something in white to even things out. You already have a lot of pink, a lot of blue, and then just a tiny bit of white so adding a white blouse can add a little more balance. For your hair, how short is very short? Like a bob? Or shorter like a pixie? Bob length is really versatile and you can do a lot of things but the easiest would be to just do a big headbow in pink or blue or both. If it’s shorter than that, you’ll want to go with smaller accessories because you don’t want your hair accessories to overwhelm your entire head. A smaller bow toward one side or maybe a cake or ice cream or macaron hairclip would be really cute. And yes, it’s a bell shape.

Hey~! I'm going to order a JSK for my first coord from Bodyline. I can't decide between L191 and L515, both in black... Which one do you think is better? Also, I'm from Germany and they say on their site that I most likely will have to pay customs. Is that true? Is there a way I could avoid this?

I personally like L515 better. I don’t really know why but I’ve never been a huge fan of the other one.As for the customs question I don’t think I’ll be much help as I have no idea how customs works in Germany. Based on what I’ve heard people usually only have to pay customs on very large orders but I can’t say for sure.

Hiiii ^-^ what do you think of bodyline's L515? I'm not sure whether i like it or not ;w;

I think it’s okay. I really liked it when it came out but I’m starting to get over it. lol I do really like the sax version because I think sax and pink is an adorable color combination. I sort of think the concept of the dress is just a little boring and generic at this point, but I would like to see it coordinated in different ways than what I usually see.
