Well another year is coming to an end soon and as usual, brands shot out tons of prints this year. Now it's just a matter of which ones you'd kill to own and which ones you'd avoid like the plague. What did you think of this round of prints? Any themes you'd like to see in the future or want to go away?
Well here's my opinions for favorite and least favorite prints this year!
Favorites
Angelic Pretty's Milky Cross
I do prefer the lavender and sax colors though. The navy and black colorways didn't do anything for me.
Angelic Pretty's Wrapping Heart
Just not in yellow. The contrast between the colors in the print and the yellow... ick.
Baby's Thumbelina ~Maia's Wonderful Encounter Story~
Eat Me Ink Me's Alberta
Angelic Pretty's Dolly Cat
Angelic Pretty's Belle Epoque Rose
Marchen die Prinzessin's Romantic Masquerade
Angelic Pretty's Dream Marine
I'm a sucker for marine themed prints and this one is especially pretty. Though the skirt seems rather plain to me... Maybe some more flounces would've been nice?
Baby's Juno's Bouquet ~Oath of the Maiden~
Chess Story's Double Swan
Juliette et Justine's Paysage
I think this is the first of JetJ's painting print dresses that I actually like!
Alice and the Pirates' Little Prince ~My Tiny Horoscope~
Real pity it's only being sold in Japan... it's also nice to see this story get featured by another brand besides Haenuli.
Angelic Pretty's Castle Mirage
Meta's Daydreaming Goldfish
Baby x Disney's Cinderella
Angelic Pretty's Menuet Bouquet
Granted it's busy, but it is still pretty.
Angelic Pretty's Wonder Gallery
One of only a couple Alice in Wonderland prints I actually like!
Angelic Pretty's Luminous Sanctuary
I just wish the cuts for the dresses were more to my liking. Guess I'll have to settle for the OTKs.
Alice and the Pirates' Swan Lake ~Ephemeral Tears~
Absolutely beautiful. I think this is my favorite print of the year.
Angelic Pretty's x Disney's Dreamy Luna Rapunzel
The dress isn't quite my cup of tea, but I absolutely love the parasol and jewelry released with this!
Angelic Pretty's Marine Kingdom
This print broke my heart when I saw it online... *sigh* You'll be mine one day...
Alice and the Pirates' Tricky Nightmare Factory
Kind of reminds me of the video game A Witch's Tale!
Baby's The Sleeping Forest Beauty ~Pop Up Labyrinth~
Alice and the Pirates' Scheherazade ~One Thousand and One Nights~
A VERY nice change of pace from the usual themes!
Krad Lanrete's The Venice Carnival
Angelic Pretty's Dreamy Planetarium
I absolutely love the colors with this series.
Alice and the Pirates' Banquet in the Dark Night with Dancing Roses
I like how moody the print is with this.
Meta's Mermaid Princess
Alice and the Pirate's Vampire Nocturne
See Banquet in the Dark Night
Baby's Stardust Fantasia ~Horoscope of Twin Star Kittens~
Soufflesong's Chinese Style Lantern
Innocent World's Crest Gobelin Lace
I don't normally like these kinds of prints, but for some reason I do like this one... *shrugs* IDK why.
Haenuli's Moon Jelly Princess
NEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
Fanplusfriend's Enchanted Forest
If only I could scrape up the $300 some dollars this set is going for. And have an event to justify wearing this out...
Baby's Marie Laurencin Dreaming Maiden of the Flower
Least Favorite
Meta's Secret Laboratory
Alice and the Pirates' Alice and the Mechanical Wonder Time Travel
*snores*
Angelic Pretty's Fancy Rose
Baby's Esprit de la Belle Epoque Rose
Innocent World's Strawberry Tarte
For some reason, I don't like how the tarts seemed to be pasted onto the background
Angelic Pretty's Whip Jacquard
Meta's Jewel Leopard
Metamorphose in a nutshell folks
Alice and the Pirates' Chocolate Addiction with your Sweet Memories
Angelic Pretty's Shadow Dream Carnival
I can barely see it
Meta's Noble Tea Party
Really not liking the nightgowny cut of the OP either
Alice and the Pirates' Starry Moonlight Night Sirene
Very disappointed with the print and cuts of the dresses in this series.
Meta's Fortune Tarot
*shakes head* One big eyesore and probably my least favorite print of the year
Alice and the Pirates' Memoire Lointaine ~My Tiny Music Box~
Angelic Pretty's Dreamy Jewel
Krad Lanrete's The Twelve Constellations of the Zodiac
I've also seen some complaints online about how it was taking an eternity for this to get shipped out.
Angelic Pretty's Holy Lantern (2015)
Never really cared for this print the first time it came out either...
Baby's Closed in the Playing Cards ~Bitter Sweet Memories~
XP... These were also the first items I uploaded to Lolibrary too, so I guess that's something.
Angelic Pretty's Whip Collection
Too busy!
Baby's Celestial Harmonia ~Angelic Melody upon the Stars~
"Hmm, I really need to come up with an idea for the next print soon..." *goes crazy with Photoshop* "Hey boss, what do you think about this?" "LOVE IT!" I will admit that the green color is really pretty.
Angelic Pretty's Classic Fairy Tales
While it's nice to see a fairy tale print that isn't bathed in pastels, I just wish it wasn't so busy!
Meta's Dark Night Guardian
Baby's Cherry Rendezvous ~Baby Cherry Start of a Romance~
Angelic Pretty's Fantastic Carnival
Jane Marple's Vintage Collection
Meta's Little Squirrel
However, the squirrel plush bag with the series is adorable!
Angelic Pretty's Horror Garden
Extremely boring for me.
Baby's Ex Libris the Dolls
Meta's Dozing Cat
Alice and the Pirates' Rose's Prisoner in the Pirates Ship
Baby's Key to Heaven ~Holy Church of the Blessed~
I really don't like how muted the print is.
Meta's Brick House
Baby's My Advent Calendar ~Magic of the Happiness over the Special Day~
Baby's Labyrinth Collection Room ~Secret Room in the Castle~
That OP is really ugly looking to me. Even my mom agreed when I showed her.
Baby's Parlement of Foules Menuet ~Love Song of the Birds with Scent of White Rose~
Something about the tailoring on this doesn't seem right... Is it just me?
