There will be an AP/ Chantilly/ Atelier-Pierrot booth like last year. There is still a possibility that the tea party is hosted by AP, since nothing has been said either way, however, my guess is that the "tea party like event" will be hosted by Chantilly, Atelier-Pierrot or both.

The event we are working on is just that - hosted by Chantilly and Atelier Pierrot. Information about it will be coming soon.

I don't own anything from them.. I have mostly AP stuff. Hopefully there will be a relaxed dress code?

[wastedutopia]

They had a Chantilly and Atelier Pierrot tea party at Sakuracon a few weeks ago. The dress code was just lolita, with no brand requirements, and tickets were $50. I'm guessing ours will be something simular. The Sakuracon tea party info page is still up if you google it.

Thank you wastedutopia, I found the page:

That's awesome they took all loli brands. But I wonder if that includes Fanplusfriend or replicas?

Thanks for the info!

I would assume replicas would be banned. But I think F+F would be alright.

Thanks Meef. I would have linked it myself, but I wasn't sure if linking to other con's pages was against the forum rules.

[Kasumisty]

I hope I can go! I didn't get to go to the AP one last year because I didn't yet own anything AP (I didn't/don't have a lot of money for clothes)... So hopefully the dress code is more relaxed this year.

[wastedutopia]

The updated panel schedule puts the tea party from 1-3 on Sunday. There is still a lolita panel scheduled at the same time though, so we'll see what happens.

[Bloo09]

The lolita panel was brought to our attention and moved It's the only possible move at this point and if something else opens up in the next day we'll try to find a better place for that panel.

Any news on tickets etc. for the tea party? (Or when, or even where, such information will be available?)

[meef]

I've been biting my nails over this too, trying not to post.

official announcement for Sweet 16 Elegant Tea Party

It's in the official announcements. It will be Sunday 1:15-3:15. $50 tickets go on sale Wednesday April 24th at 3:00 CDT.

I just saw that and am a little bummed. Since Saxony owns Angelic Pretty and those brands, I'm sad that Angelic Pretty isn't allowed attire.

[meef]

Also, that the Sakuracon party allowed all brands and the ACen one doesn't. I wonder why that is.

[meef]

Oh yeah, and the fact that all three brands are running an exhibit hall booth together. ;

Same here..
plus this line is very confusing..
"While lolita attire is not technically required, it is expected. Additionally, wearing of Enchantlic Enchantilly or Atelier Pierrot is required for this event."

[Dark Spellmaster]

I think what it means is that you need to wear a peice of either one or the other brand at the party in some form as repesentation. It's like going to an event by a sports team, you need to have one of their logoed items to get in. Probably can wear various outfits, just can't wear the replica, and I wonder. Could one wear a nice "Tea" dress with one or two accessories and go? Probably not sadly.

[Washu Takahashi]

Ouch, 50 bucks, plus you need to buy Enchantlic Enchantilly or Atelier Pierrot items on top of that? Looks like I've got until tomorrow to see if that fits in my budget...
