So you didn't actually read the thread. It's not my picture I'm posting. Personally I've got a Yolanda jsk and it was fairly nice. Something that anon also mentions. This pic is literally straight out of the bag. I'll post parts of the other reviews since it's a such a chore apparently.

>"I’ve washed many burando dresses (some of my burando are worn every week and then I put them in the washing machine in a laundry bag. Same thing I did for this dress). I’ve seen dye run, but this is the first time I’m dealing with washing causing the print itself to disappear, leaving behind a dress with white spots. And the whole thing is so delicate, no wonder girls stop washing their dresses altogether."

>Krad loses everything else, though. Their fabric is thinner, flimsier, and downright shiny. JetJ fabric is a nice fake shantung. Not actually high-end luxury shantung, but it does a good job or pretending to be good enough. Krad's fabric... I don't know, maybe this release is just terribad. Someone else should do a burando-taobao comparison of their other releases, because like I said, this Krad dress is downright thin, flimsy and shiny.

>Considering it was surface printed, that is. I find with a lot of taobao pieces you need to keep one or two facts floating at the top of your mind, and then you can actually say “considering this was made with an inferior method to begin with, it aged wonderfully well”. Then somehow when reviewing burando the taobaolitas will also say “considering this was $300 and wasn’t presented to me on a silver platter I’m going to rate it lower than the taobao dress because considering the taobao dress was inferior to begin with the taobao dress aged very well."

The fabric, though, lets this down very poorly. It’s surface printed, and whatever it is, it’s like a whole other step below Krad Lanrete.

This purple one was bought directly from the taobao shop, I think it’s one of the last ones. It came direct from the shop with this white line near the side seams. All I did was take it out of the plastic, the dress has never even been worn.

In case you miss it, there's a white line directly aligned along the seam. I don't know how it got there and I don't know how to put the purple back.
