I actually find it cute. But I’m a not-quite-closeted Baby, The Stars Shine Bright fan & like Lolita style.

…I will never pay 300 bucks for it. Not even w/ Hello Kitty on it. Ah, well. Off to earn more money for the HK netbook I didn’t know existed until you showed me. Thanks!

Hi!
Haha clearly you live in the wrong place. You should live over here instead. Here’s slightly to none Kitty Things at all! Hang in there. That kitten will disappear eventually, so don’t go crazy just yet;)

That is simply adorable. ^_^ Baby, the stars shine bright is a rather expensive loli brand in the first place. Add a character that people obsess about and caching, you hit the cash box. Thats a pretty pricey dress, not sure it is worth it or not. However it is cute. Tell you wife that as cute as hello kitty is, she is not worth going bankrupt over! :]

i think the dress would be adorable if it was a vintage-y teal, didnt have the horrendous bright red polka dot lace hello kitty bows or the similarly themed embroidery…..but i love the dress style……

The price is normal for the Baby the Stars Shine Bright brand. The partnership between the clothing brand and Hello Kitty seems natural to me since they are both focused on cutess
There are also BtSSB/Charmmy Kitty/Nana Kitade items.

Oh dear God.
A bargain? I’ve seen cheaper Gothic Lolita dresses. I’ve seen cheaper flower girl dresses.
Hell, even if it were free, would you seriously ever have a logical situation for wearing that? Wait, I just credited HK fans with having logic. So sorry.
This dress made me nauseous. Pass the Pepto, please.

300 bucks? hell no! 48 maybe 58 sure, and lose the 2 bright red bows.

Jesus Wept.

$300? Er why? I’ve seen much better Lolita/Goth gear for a damn site less and with style, which this thing clearly does not have.

Just bad. Only girls of age 7 or less should like this, but then we are talking a Japanese company aren’t we?

NO !
Too much cuteness, even for Hello Kitty, never mind the price, which is really way too much !

If I google “Baby, the stars shine bright” to find out what it is will I regret it?

Not into womens fashions,

I have a Loita fashion model wear this dress in your direction.

Actually, your wife is kinda right on this one. Any limited edition dress you can get from Baby the Stars Shine Bright for under $400 is a bargain.

This one, however, is rather hideous.

Cute, but a little too much lace for my taste. I like the color though.

This dress would be adorable on, say, a child of up to five years of age. But unless you are one of those fetish prostitutes who cater to the unfortunate “Adult Baby” sect, any adult woman wearing this dress surely must have severe mental problems.

This is surprisingly appropriate. But I still can’t see it on a sensible adult on an average day.

Oh hey! Sorry to post twice, but I just thought what if they’re going for the lolita consumers? It looks sweet lolita-ish

You don’t understand Hello Kitty at all. Is there a price on love? Is there a price on happiness? Since this is what Hello Kitty brings to everyone, there is no price on her as well and she is even better because she brings the love and happiness to everyone around as well. That is a bargain at any price!!

Maybe if you were a good husband, you would see that your wife likes this and buy it for her because it would make her happy instead of ranting stupid things you don’t understand. You are the only man that wouldn’t want to see his wife in this and this shows how pathetic your tastes are. Don’t you think it’s time you stop talking about things you know absolutely nothing about?

ahaha~ I’d make some alterations, but I’d love to spend the year in sweet lolita~!

For people saying the price is really high, you obviously don’t know that Baby the Stars Shine Bright is a designer lolita shop. high price for designer, high price for quality material, and high price for collaboration. =3 Of course this is actually a rather fair price. I would have spent close to $2,000 on clothes from them if everything wasn’t sold out by the time I had gotten the money ;A;

Ah! Forgot to mention, this isn’t a baby doll dress. It’s sweet lolita. It’s a fashion in Japan. =3

With this post I have a sneaking suspicion about “starts with a D, ends with an E” and the lengths Sanrio will go to make a few bucks… GAG.. but I’m not saying another word about it !

What? That’s actually people clothes? That looks like a cheesy dolly dress… that’s the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen, and I could not imagine a self-respecting woman wearing this monstrosity. I mean, it might be cute for a 3 year old or the doll she plays with… but for an adult, it’s kinda pathetic to be dressing like this… like wearing giant frilly scrunchies in pigtails… I mean really, I’m all for cute things, but this is just disgusting.

I think it is cute, but I can see a little girl wearing it, not an teenager or an adult.

AHA HA HA! Watch out if she starts obsessing over lolita clothing now. You’ll be living in a lot of frills and lace.

Darlene, do you really have no life? Look i like Hello Kitty alot to, but give the guy a break. Doesnt he have the right to say whatever he wants about her just like you do? That is all he is doing.

I dont think Hello Kitty would approve of your behavior. She is all for accepting others, not calling them stupid or mean.

Grow up and choke on your words. :]

P.S-I still think this dress is cute. haha.

You’d have to understand the Lolita culture to understand this dress, and really. For what it is, it’s not that expensive compared to some other ugly dresses you see actresses wear on the red carpet. But yes, $300 is more then I personally have to piss away on a piece of clothing that is actually just the outer garmet of a whole outfit…
Yes, it gets lacy-er and frilly-er.

I love lolita-style clothing, and Baby, The Stars Shine Bright is a brand-name. Lolita’s expensive anyway, and brand-name included means the $300 is not a bad price at all. Assuming I had the money to spare, and assuming the Hello Kitty design on the side wasn’t there (I don’t like that kitten so much, either) then I’d totally buy that dress and consider it a decent deal (read: not a bargain, just decent).

And to the people who couldn’t imagine any self-respecting adult wearing lolita, you just have to see it. Particularly with young adults, there are several people who can and do pull off the look very nicely. Like all looks, it’s not for everyone. That doesn’t mean it’s bad.

As people have said, yeah, there are cheaper lolita dresses, but for a brand name like Baby the Stars Shine Bright- AND for a collaboration with Hello Kitty- $300 really is a bargain. Lolita is an expensive fashion as it is, and when you throw in name brands and limited edition collaboration dresses like this, Id expect it to be at LEAST $300, if not more. As for the comment from Gail “But unless you are one of those fetish prostitutes who cater to the unfortunate ?Adult Baby? sect, any adult woman wearing this dress surely must have severe mental problems.” thats actually the OPPOSITE of what lolita fashion is about. Where as Adult Baby fetishists get some sort of sexual thrill out of dressing in frilly clothing, Lolitas try to stay far, FAR away from that kinda gross fetishy stuff. Lolita is an alternative fashion, just like goth, punk, emo or whatever. Its just not as common and therefore misunderstood by the general public (although, alternative subcultures are pretty misunderstood in general). As for whether or not Id wear the dress, probally not, but Im more of a gothic lolita than a sweet lolita. Not that I wouldnt wear a hello kitty dress at all, though, but Id probally get one that looks quite a bit diffrent than this one.

And hello kitty ^^
But this is not my style to wear for myself, even though I find it really cute

HA! A Baby the Stars Shine Bright dress is the top brand in Japan. I met a high school girl from SF on a class trip at my Tokyo hotel last summer, and saw her on again by chance on Takeshita Dori Harajuku showing me her new $500. GL dress that she just bought!!
In Japan, all the cosplay and Loli/Goth kids spend THOUSANDS on their outfits, so there, the dress is cheap.

I’m a guy, but I bought a Hello Kitty cell phone, and went to Puroland in Tama City..the best part of my trip!!!
I go to Japan every other year, and always get some Hello Kitty stuff. With the help of a Japanese friend..I have a collection of Hello Kitty souvenir phone strap/ prayer beads from EVERY major Buddhist temple in Japan…over 300!

You should really love and support your wife more. Yes, I know this price is normal for BTSSB – just think, she could be into designer Gucci or Christian Dior or whoever dresses that look just as hideous and are far more expensive. By the way, there are some men who really enjoy it when their girlfriends, wives, and f*buddies wear things like this. Maybe you need to kink it up a bit.

I know what you’re thinking, hell no about paying $300 for a lolita dress. To be honest it would be a waste of time, unless you were the spoiled little teen girl who’s parents were millionaires. I would if I were rich

but the thing about the dress, i want more detail on it, and the skirt looks a little bit too short
