/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Quick question for all the more knowledgeable lolitas on what I should buy. I plan to buy this dress as my very first lolita purchase on my own (I have a few things but they're mostly hand-me-downs from a friend of mine that quit lolita about a year ago) and I was wondering which petticoat I should buy that would be best for the dress I'm buying:

This one:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10292662400

Or this one:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w302901031.24.oipSGK&id=4433321628

or neither?

Taobaotrends: Do they combine domestic shipping?

Also, I have no idea where they got 23yuan for domestic shipping when the fucking bow (it's a HAIRCLIP) is 6yuan. Are they still gonna charge 23yuan for that shit? I mean part of the reason I got away from Taobaoring was so I wouldn't have to pay 15yuan per domestic shipping store since I order small shit which is usually 5-10yuan domestic ship.

>>6714068
Every taobao agent combines domestic shipping as far as I know

Honestly if you don't understand why shipping from a certain store is so expensive you could just email and confront them about it, to see what the issue is

>>6714068
dunno if they charge a fixed price but if the store is very far from the agent, dom. shipping might be a little bit more expensive.

>>6714075
>>6714078
Well another reason is because I want to order 20 items from the same store, except they automatically add another 15 or more yuan to the domestic shipping when I add it to my cart.

Two questions.

I'm super paranoid about an item on Taobao selling out before I can buy it.
How long does it usually take for an SS to get back to you with a quote after you submit your item request?
And is it bad practice to request the same set of items from a bunch of SSs and just pay whoever gets back to you fastest? From my understanding they don't actually order anything until you pay, so I don't think they'd really lose money, just a little time from contacting the seller.

I'm worried that I'll go with one SS and they'll take way too long and my dress will go out of stock blarg

>>6714083
It depends on the SS. Some are backed up (like tbr) so they take longer while others don't.

It is bad practice to do that. They probably will get annoyed by you if you continually do that (and MAYBE at some point blacklist you). I would if I were to run a SS with some people.

>>6714083
>How long does it usually take for an SS to get back to you with a quote after you submit your item request?
Depends on which SS...

Trends: 0.166 6%
Ring: 0.162 8%

Taobaoring is still cheaper... The prices (if you make let's say a $250 order) is 2.5% cheaper.
Taobaotrends conversion rate is higher and the bigger order you make, the more that will fuck you over. Especially since they do the 15yuan flat domestic shipping like Taobaoring.

Fuck at this point I'm just going back to Taobaoring. The main reason I liked Taobaotrends was because they allow you to add second-hand items.

>>6714094
I meant the conversion is 2.5% difference. Yeah... I'm going back to Taobaoring, but how do I make Sydney be the one answering me? She's answered me for the past year, but after CNY James has been answering me.

Trends: $87.98 for a 500 chinese dollar purchase
Ring: $85.86 for a 500 chinese dollar purchase

>>6714092

The main ones I've heard about are TBSpree, TBring, TBfocus, Yoybuy, and Bhiner.

I was hoping someone would post something like, "I submitted an order to blahblah a week ago and it took # days for them to get back to me".

>>6714100
They normally get back to you overnight - 2 days.

>>6714095
Just put it in your email title...

>>6714100
Ok, I submitted an order to TBNow and they got back a few hours later (as it was night in China when I submitted the order). I paid immediately and they started ordering right away. However, they don't check stock until they start ordering unlike some of the others.

>>6714095
>how do I make Sydney be the one answering me
Subject: SYDNEY FUCKING ANSWER ME YOU CHINKY CUNT

>>6714113
Or something SLIGHTLY less offensive.
Like, "Sydney Please Answer." Or, "For Sydney Only Please!"

I dunno, >>6714138, >>6714113 is awfully persuasive.

Guys I wanna make a fucking amazing large order, but I can't come up with enough shit to buy.
Help? I really love those chiffon dresses (like those "magic" ones that had the moon/stars/church gates), but I just can't find much other shit like that. Halp.

>>6714148
If I were Sydney, I'd start fucking her around after that, though.Or blacklist.

>>6714100
TBFocus anon here. I've put in about 7 orders in the past year. They're pretty fast with ordering things. Usually have ordered most stuff by the next business day.

On ershou Taobao, what are these two prices mean:
转 卖 价:¥280.00
原 价:¥ 460.00

>>6714110
>>6714161

Thank you kindly

>>6714169
Selling price, and Original selling price.

Cute, frilly pink princessy bathing suits?! ANYONE?

Seriously, what kind of fucking size is this:
XXS 次品不退换
XXS IN CHINESE SIZING?
That's like toddler sized here.

>>6714212
Not necessarily... I just got 3 dresses in my current order. I ordered them all in a size small. Two fit, but one is super short and the other quite long. The other one is just plain big.

>>6714221
Dif anon
>XXS
You said Small. extra extra small is 2x smaller...

Where can i find http://bobon21.taobao.com/ for cheaper?

>>6714212
次品不退换 = subpar item, no returns or exchanges

It means there's something wrong with the item or it wasn't made up to standards (and we're talking about Chinese standards that couldn't even make it to a Walmart here).

>>6714223
try http://angelcat1225.taobao.com/ or http://vivid.taobao.com/? most of bobon21's stuff are hellishly short liz lisa knockoffs

>>6714245
Fuck I'm 5 foot 7 and I can't fit into most "normal" (non-lolita that can't be custom made) shit.
Thanks for the other 2 stores.

>>6714223
Thanks for the shop! I love their stuff. Does anyone know how tall the model is?

Fuck. Now I don't know if I want to use Taobaoring or Taobaotrends.

What are those skirts called that have straps and you have to wear a blouse under and the straps cross in the back?

>>6714046
The first one would be better. A cotton one probably wouldn't have much volume at all. Even though you probably won't want tons of fluff for that dress, the first looks like a good amount.

>>6714271
suspender skirts?
Or Salopettes?

>>6714303
Suspender skirts! Thank you!
i'm kind of confused what a salopette is, all I know is that AP has them and they look baby/toddler like. I'm trying to dress more mature and not a little kid, so I'm giving up sweet lolita and doing mostly gyaru types of clothing. I still love frilly ribbons and bows, I just feel too much like I'm trying to be 5 (esp when people tell me I look like a little kid or I'm trying to be one)

But anyways thank you!

Keyword for cardigan/bolero/mini jacket?
I want something light and airy for the summer, lolita or gal style

>>6714245
Would these stores fall into the whole "knockoff" issue thats going on atm?

>>6714316
Before the knockoff issue going on atm people were complaining that their lizlisa & vw shit was getting taken and confiscated.

>>6714207
I found a store that has a few vivi/lizlisa types... But I can't believe their measurements! They're measuring by WEIGHT. Wtf is this bullshit?
A size XL you have to be 110-130 pounds to fit into? Is height not an issue like wtf why would they measure like that WHY ARE THEY SO RETARDED!

>>6714334
Uuuh. I don't believe you. You need to send this link to me. Also, did you stop to think that since there's not much height differences in chinese people that it would work for the standard.

>>6714334
Also, are you sure that's not bust size?

I know this a lot to ask and it's likely no one will want to help, but... I have a huge problem with picking out good blouses for lolita. Would any experienced Lolitas be willing to help me pick out a good variety for outfits? I mostly wear Gothic/Bitter Sweet. But I also have the star night theater skirt I'm having an impossible time finding a blouse for.

>>6714334
I've seen weight used as the only measurement for underwear too. I don't know why they did that. Hell, when I was in China, I went to a few in-house street vendors and they divided all of the clothes on the shelves by weight lol

>>6714344
What color starry night theater? Is it the cut or style you're having trouble choosing or just any in general?

>>6714347
It's blue. Just blouses in general, It's probably my biggest weakness in lolita cause I just don't seem to understand what looks good.

>>6714344
Are you capable of dressing yourself outside of lolita?

This is key

Honestly just go for standard, simple chiffon blouses (like the kind you can find on F21)

Black, white and off-white are your friends

it's really not as difficult as you are making it out to be

Hi people. I'm not the same anon who asked for bathing suits up there, but I've never bought a bathing suit in my life. I've always hated my body and how fat I was, starved myself (was hospitalized, I wasn't one of those pro-ana freaks), and now I'm at a stable weight/body where I can look at myself naked in the mirror and not want to puke.

Anyways, I've always been a tom boy. I love lolita because it hides my body, but I want to try dressing in things outside of lolita.

A swimsuit is something I want to buy in my next order, and I was wondering what you guys thought of these two:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?&id=16373943156
In pink ^

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?&id=16416511939
^In idk which color because I can't decide

I know it's stupid to ask for people's opinions because it depends on what I like, but I really can't decide.

>>6714353
I think both suits are really cute! I think the first one looks better in white though. And then pink for the second one! And if it's between the two, I'd pick the first one because it's more unique looking.

>>6714353
I like floral vivi in white

>>6714334
~130 pounds for a chinese XL sounds feasible, actually. Like other anon said, the sizes don't tend to go up much height-wise. I've seen jeans and singlets in weight sizes on taobao before too.

M155-16580-95 70AB88cm建议上胸围在82cm以内

L160-16898-10875AB91cm建议上胸围在87cm以内

XL165-175110-12080AB94cm建议上胸围在94cm以内

Guys what do those sizes mean? Also, what size would I be if I'm 180cm in height? I'm very thin and my bra size is 32B, but a lot of things on Taobao end up too short too high up.

So I made an order through pruany and according to my EMS tracking number my order has been in US customs in my state since this Wednesday. I don't have any replicas that I'm aware of in my order... do you guys have any idea of how long it will take to get to me from there? Thanks in advance!

Different anon!
On the topic of bathing suits, what do ya'll think of this?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16379709596
I understand it'll be clinging to every bit of fat on me, but I'm stick thin an Asian so it's not much of an issue for me. I'm looking for cheapish - princessy bathing suits. They're actually REALLY hard to come by because most of them are for children.

>>6714374
FML that's cute. I just finished my order for this month though. Fuck!

>>6714311
小披肩- small shawl
小外套- small jacket
I just looked them up yesterday and the first seems to be in all of them, but the second is also in lots of the listings.

>>6714350
Do you have any links to chiffon blouses on taobao? I haven't looked much, but if you know of any that would come in a 98cm bust, I'd really appreciate it.

>>6714355
>>6714358
Thank you for your input! This is going to be hard to decide.

Another question (which is why I'm saging), do people normally wear make up/wigs to the beach? I mean, I will never in my life go swimming (terrified of water), but I figured I'm supposed to wear a bathing suit anyways if I'm at the beach.

>>6714392
Seconding! Especially black ones.

>>6714363
M: 155 - 165 cm height, recommended bust below 82 cm
L: 160-168 cm height, bust < 87 cm
XL: 165 - 175 cm height, bust < 94 cm

In desperate need of cute cardigans. They should be long sleeved, have a rounded neckline, have some kind of detailing (bows/ruffles/lace/etc), nice quality. I'm looking for a bunch of them in cream, pink, brown... something that would work with otome, lolita, cute, feminine and gal. Help is very much appreciated

>>6714374
It's cute, but it actually wouldn't be clinging to you because there's ruching all over it that can hide bumps, but just creates unnecessary volume in the wrong places if you are slim. If your torso is slim and straight I would advise against something that elongates it so much (maybe try something with ruffles around the bust and hips instead of ruching?), but if you're curvier and want a slimmer torso, it could work.

Is there any info about this bathing suit? I don't see a size or color selection.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=113212201

Also, do you guys think it's cute (because people itt are asking)

TOO MANY CUTE CLOTHES
NOT EVEN MONEYZZZZZ :c
T^TTTTTT

>>6714403
You know.. you could go on the dictionary and find "cardigan" and then search for it on taobao. Right after you search it, there will be a bunch of keywords below to narrow down the search.

I'm 5'7.5/5'8 33.5-24.5/25-35 what size should I be going with?

For my height I would assume large, but my measurements I'd assume med?

>>6714425
Yup. You're the same height and measurements as me and I always go with medium.
However, most shit will end up being too short on you.

>>6714371
Usually it's a day, but I've had my EMS order stay in customs for 5 days before and it was only 1 coat too.

>>6714371
I wouldn't worry. Normally it is only a few days but once or twice it has taken weeks - that length of time is definitely very rare but customs really is the biggest variable in shipping time.

>>6714403
http://mi-love.taobao.com/

knock yourself out

>>6714374
why did i spend $32 for something similar at JCP

>>6714425
Do not just go by sizes, go by measurements. This is in the FAQ.

>>6714485
I know, but generally if something fits my measurements, it seems it'll be too short
so is is better to go with my height or 3 measurements at that point?

>>6714353
I really like the second one, pretty much all the colors. Black swimsuits are pretty flattering to most people's skin tones, but all of the colors are nice.

>>6714398
Some people wear make-up, but a wig would be a bad idea. It would get windblown and sand would get in it.
If you want to wear make-up, go with something you won't sweat off. You'll probably want sunscreen, so make-up doesn't really go on on top of that, I don't think. I'd stick to a non-dramatic lipstick or lip gloss if you feel the need to wear something on your face. I guess unless you're going to a cool-ish beach. Then you could wear whatever you wanted.

>>6714303
On this theme: what would I search for those dress-salopettes like AP makes? I just want a cutesy dungaree dress like that.

>>6714526
Put on your makeup, then use the spray kind of sunscreen over it. Works fine.

Has anyone ordered pants from taobao before? I'm 4'10" and have trouble finding really tight skinny jeans in stores, and the ones I see on taobao look so perfect but I have big hips/butt so I was curious as to if I should even bother.

>>6714616
http://1.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/67/18/152a625daa8c162a60104714d0c63207-gaming-then-now-part-2.jpg

>>6714685
ah of course

Is anyone else having trouble adding items to TBFocus? Any link I paste or term I search gives me an error, it's been happening all day for me.

Would someone mind testing it on their end? I dunno if it's just me or their connection is messed up.

>>6714792
Taobaofocus hasn't been working for me either :c
I treansferred all of my items to Taobaotrends instead

I'm already over $100 with just 4 items... What the fuck is wrong with me!
None of this shit is even fucking lolita.
Why is mysis.taobao.com so fucking expensive?!?!

Fuck I keep switching from Taobaotrends to Taobaoring... I just don't think I'd be saving a lot switching, and I don't have nearly as much trust as I do for trends as I do for ring.

this just arrived at my SS ;_; can't wait to get it! ( and I hope this fucking cold weather fucks off)

So between Infanta's Power and Throne and Snow White prints, which is less likely to be restocked? I finally have a bit of extra cash, but nearly everything in my size is almost gone.

>>6714856
>nearly everything in my size is almost gone
Then don't buy anything, really. I end up buying a ton of shit that's either too small or too bad because shit in my size always sells out fast. Then I get upset when I see soemone selling it on the comm sales. Don't buy anything you think you may regret! I've regretted 2 out of my 5 taobao orders, and I just confirmed my next order and praying that the shit I get will fit me. I'mn 5 foot 8 which doesn't work well with a lot of gal shit or lolita, but better with lolita than gal.

>>6714827
some of their stuff's kinda overpriced yeah, but i've had my eye on one of their more loliable strap dresses

you might want to hold off on buying from them just yet anon - they're coming out with a bunch of new releases from brands like amavel and fint

>>6714489
Go by your height probably at that point. You have to remember China's women in general are very short.

Keep in mind that your height is hard to shop for on there so if you do go by height, most stuff will be loose as hell on you and you'll need to alter.

>>6714865
I definitely won't buy things that aren't my size, especially since I fall in the awkward space between Infanta's S and M (I settled on M because of the length, but it's a bit big in the waist). I'm just having a hard time choosing between the Snow White series and Power and Throne, and figured if one was unlikely to be restocked then I'd snag that one.

Also, I've never seen Power and Throne or Snow White pop up on the sales comm, so I'm a bit antsy.
Oh wow, 5' 8"? Shopping must be a bitch.

>>6714866
I'm just getting two dresses from them, the chiffon ones. The one with the moons and stars and the one with the really fucked up bust but the pretty church/cathedral print

>>6714866
I have tried so hard to find those two dresses that are from mysis elsewhere, but I can't. Seriously, NO ONE else sells them. I've seen second-hand, but they're only in apricot/brownish colored and it's really ugly. What are the original brands called? Mysis always titles things with "1837" or some other date, does that mean anything?

>>6714919
they're axes femme knockoffs

out of curiosity, could you link to the secondhand apricot version of the dress?

>>6714889
S & M is my size too. For indie brands, I like Infanta because their stuff usually is longer than other brands. You could ask your SS to message Infanta (lemonxx) and ask them if they are going to restock either? I don't really understand reservation/stock stuff, I just buy stuff when I see that the listing is up.

Indie brands don't show up much on the comm sales, especially with the newer released. When Marshmallow Bunny came out from AP, I didn't see someone selling it until many months later. And even then, I've only seen 3 people selling it. I will never be able to fit into AP because it's made for shorter people. Even Bodyline fucks me over lol. Their busts end up being at my lower neck and my real bust ends up being where the waist's dress is. That's why I'm so conscious of my money, especially in lolita. My height. And underskirts DO NOT help when a dress is seriously made for someone much shorter than me, because adding length to the skirt isn't the only issue at hand.

With gyaru type clothes, I've ordered a few in the past. My first order consisted entirely of gyaru clothes. Not a single one fit. All of the long sleeves ended up above my wrist and the length ended at my belly button. The hoods on things never fit because I'm so much taller. Skirts always end up never actually being a skirt, and same with dresses because shit ends up being way too short.

So yeah, it is a bitch. And having DoL/Oo Jia custom make the length to 100cm ends up looking HORRIBLE because no petticoat is that large or long to fit that far.

>>6714932
Dif anon, then what is fint?

>>6714932
Also, which keyword is more common: axes or femme?

I posted this in one or two threads ago...Anybody knows which kind of shoes are this? The brand or the origin it's written down but I can't tell...(Used Free Online OCR with no good result...)

>>6714935
http://www.fint-shop.com/

>>6714936
both "axes" and "axes femme" are viable keywords

>>6714958
Is fint and axes femme the same?

Searching for 6%doki doki arigatou earrings, please help,

>>6714963
Sigh if the brand isn't that popular on Taobao in the first place then you're shit outta luck. Searching for any variation of 6% dokidoki yields basically no results.

>>6714961
noooo haha

they're different brands, like nike and adidas

>>6714934
Hm. I might have to ask, but I was planning on going through Clobbaonline since I'm not going to make a huge order.

Infanta is actually my favorite indie brand because of the more goth feel it can have and the cut of their dresses. But whenever Infanta pops up on the sales comm, it's always the classic stuff, which is super frustrating.

I'm actually horribly short (5' 2") but I still freak out about sizing, just trying to figure out if stuff will be too long or too short, or if the measurements are accurate, or if the waist is low enough to accommodate my long torso. I hate buying stuff on line, but I want Power and Throne, as well as the entire Snow White collection so bad.

if only I could try the dresses on.

>>6714932
Sure!
I had to dig it up and found another one, but a different style. Same print though

anyone used buychina? Are they any good? I like their system better then yoybuy which is what I have used before...

>>6715064
Look at SS spreadsheet.
>According to /cgl/, don't bother because they spammed posts before and tried to scam customers.

Though if you want to ignore that point, they have no set SS fee and likes to pad the pricing heavily.

>>6714224
Yeah, but I was implying that it might not be THAT small. It might just be an extra small?

Just heard back from my ss, I ordered a coat from infanta early February and apparently the claim that they aren't making their coats up to scratch and now guess it may be done in may... Yeah, i really wanted that coat, but i guess it is not meant to be. I just cancelled my order.

Here is my most recent order.

Does anyone have experience with Taobaoring actually BUYING stuff from ershou/second hand? I know you can't add shit from there to your cart, which made me switch to Taobaotrends because there you can, however James just Emailed me:

"Yes, cannot add ershou(which means second hand) items to the shopping cart.
I've contacted with these two sellers, no one replied. I've left messages for them, if I get reply, I'll email you immediately ;)"

Why can't he just fucking buy the items? Please help.

>>6715208
Probably their shopping cart system is not programmed to add second hand items so he resorts to sending a message to them to see if they will sell it to him.

>>6715218
I know that, but it just bothers me that they have to message the seller first. I don't believe that they message EVERY seller that someone's item/store has in their cart, because then Taobaoring would be sending and receiving hundreds of messages per day. I really want that stuff though.

Does anyone know where to get any lolita pirate hats? I really like yolanda's but i don't think they are selling it right now.

>>6715131
oh god please review that corset when you get it...it's REALLY adorable.

>>6715321
What the fuck is wrong with girls? Calling clothes ADORABLE? Puppies and kittens are adorable. Clothes are inanimate objects.
Dafuq is wrong wit u

>>6715131
Mind telling me where you got the flower hair piece? Tried following the link in the picture but they didn't have anything like it.

>>6715321
Will do, i've seen it sold on american websites for up to $150 so i thought why not give it a go for about 20.

>>6715336
Rococo soul is shutting down their shop. The anon said it's their most recent order, which could have been several months ago.

Can anyone tell me if the girl in the picture is wearing the pink or apricot colored dress? I hate it when my pink shit I order ends up being orange/peach/salmon colored, because I can't stand any variation of orange.
I like my pink god damnit!

Any shops like it that you know of?

Also, can someone tell me what pink the pink version is? I want the pink on the left, not the dark purple/pink color on the right.
Asking for clarfication because I've seen this dress on multiple sites, and all of their "pinks" only have the photo on the right.
Help please! Has anyone bought either of these two dresses (the one I'm posting and the star one from mysis)

Thanks!

link to stores that have hats suitable for classic lolita? vintage hats. foxcherry333 is on hiatus or no longer selling, i think. any help appreciated!!!!! :)

>>6716061
It means that's the final payment page for those who reserved.

Can anyone tell me where they read rococo soul is closing?

>>6716358
Oh god now i'm scared. I paid for the SK version of this and also reserved Chess Story's Starry Night Angel. My service told me that I had to pay extra for those, and i told them i was okay with that, blabla. Package is send out, payed for shipping. Please tell me they did send my SK's too.... Because I didn't know there are seperate pages for reserves and the final payment. /near a heartattack now

Anyone know where I could find a pentagram (like the picture) harness on tao bao?

What are some cheap, mori stores?
Do they exist?

>>6715238
Is this one pirate enough for you? It's the only one there, though.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.w5844259565.12.WzCsDY&id=20525112522&

>>6716581
They probably bought the right thing since they said that you'd need to pay extra, which probably was referring to the deposit page. You should double check anyway, though.

>>6716581
SS make you pay the full amount up front though, don't they...? So you should be fine??

>>6715349

it's pink, I own it, like a light peptobismol

>>6716722
Thank you for the link. I think this will do.

I saw some tutorial how to make this on deviantart. I can't post it here because of nipples, but here's the link:

http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/f/2010/055/3/5/Pentagram_Bondage_Tutorial_by_veterinarian.jpg

I imagine you can just take some comfortable rope and do it - though obviously take precautions because this can seriously cut off circulation.

>>6716810
Thanks, but I thought some place could have it already done like creepyyeha ones.

>>6714856

The snow white print will actually be re-released pretty soon, end april-ish according to Martin from Clobba.

>>6715347
Diff anon, but if you like floral hairpieces and such, check out RedMaria.

>>6716934
You are wonderful. Thanks!

Guess I should snap up Power and Throne.

>>6716358

I didn't realize it was an order page for people who had gotten in on the preorder and asked TBS to buy it for me.

On the plus side, they pointed out my mistake and they're asking KL if they can sell me one anyway, score! Maybe...

>>6716940
I thought RedMaria was closing too?

>>6716989
No, as far as I know it's just FoxCherry and Rococo Soul.

>>6716991
Oh yeah. I keep getting RedMaria and FoxCherry mixed up...

Anywhere I can purchase the Kao Essential Hair Mask?
Is it even a good idea to buy hair supplies from Taobao?

>>6716998
God, that scared me for a minute.

>>6716991
God I really wish I would have bought some stuff from FC before they shut down

I kept putting it off and putting it off

I'm trying to buy this dress. It says that pre-order is until the 30th and I tried to go through TaobaoRing. But when I messaged James about getting this order confirmed, he sent back this:

"We've contacted with the seller and they cannot guarantee the time, because many buyers have order/preorder from their store. They only said, it's preorder and we needs wait 30-40days. If you cannot wait, you can choose another one, but if from this seller(yes, good quality), still should wait 30-40days."

Does that mean that I should pay for this order until 30 days from now even though I don't think it will still be there in 30 days? Or what? I'm confused.

With this new knockoff thing, do you guys think they'll also confiscate the anna sui knock offs? They do have a different name on them. Another anon was talking about them in a different thread. I'll ask my ss if they'll even buy them.

They seem to come in boxes that say BABI STORY

>>6717043
Same here, anon. I wonder if they'll ever return again...

>>6717050
He's saying the shop can't guarantee the delivery date because they've received more orders than they thought. But, you can preorder it if you want.

>>6717118
Oh okay. Awesome. Thank you.

So... anyone have good latex stores to recommend? I am looking for something durable and priced well... and a large selection of styles can't hurt.

>>6716712
How cheap? I just ordered a few things from http://diexi.taobao.com/ and I think they're reasonably priced. I've seen the same stuff on other shops, but that's the cheapest. (The other shops that have the same stuff aren't tons more expensive, like like 20-50% more.)
I just paid the shipping fee yesterday, so I don't have them yet. I'll post a review.

>>6717056
I wanted the totoro headdress.

Anybody know the term for a letterman/varsity jacket?

Anyone know how long it takes for dollypoddle to reply on facebook? I need a made-to-order item by May and was going to use her due to how easy it is to relay customization, but I can't post on the facebook group wall since she hasn't approved me or whatever yet...

>>6717548
She usually responds within 24 hours but I haven't used her in a while and she seems to be a lot busier now. I'd give it 3-4 days.

More info from Yoybuy. I asked about how safe the HK forwarding service is, the lack of tracking within China, and what exact items within my parcel counted as imitations... I thought I had only two, but apparently not:

Dear Anon,

They just told us that there would be no problem to ship the parcels to USA, but we are also not very sure about that, because we also to work with them the first time.
We will ask them if there will be other tracking numbers when the parcel in China tomorrow.
As for your last question, we checked your parcel and found there were many cosplay products.
Sometimes they will be clarified as imitation by the customs, so it will be better not to send them as usual now.
We will write to you more information tomorrow about the tracking.
Please wait patiently.

Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Elva

Cosplay products too? Seriously?? ;_;

>>6717665
What cosplay items were in your order?

>>6717039
It's up there with makeup and other stuff. As long as the reviews are good and the shop is reputable, you should be fine.

>>6717675
5 wigs and a pair of elf ears. Basically nothing... I replied asking specifically if it was the wigs.

>>6717528
I found a couple under 'rugby jacket'
http://s.taobao.com/search?initiative_id=staobaoz_20130324&q=%E9%CF%99%EC%C7%F2%EE%90%DF%5C%84%D3%BC%D0%BF%CB&cat=0&scat=y&catName=%CB%F9%D3%D0%B7%D6%C0%E0

>>6717528
Baseball jacket.

>>6717548
she last messaged me on friday so she should be around within the next day or so, i've never had to wait longer than three days

Well I just made my order on TBR. I just hope they get to it quickly because I really like this otome dress and there's only one left in stock.
;_;

>>6717771
>Taobaoring
>Quick

Pick one. You might have better luck with another SS since Taobaoring has been notoriously slow for like weeks. (Unless you 'cut in line' and email them with "URGENT I NEED THIS ORDER NOW" like some people have been doing.)

Is there any shops that sell cheaper mori-girl type dresses? I wanna buy some stuff that's cute but good for summer but can be layered in the fall. (Other than forestgirlfans?)

>>6717771
send them an email. james told me if i could pay for the items first if i want my items asap and instead of waiting for the availability checking they would buy all of them, if something go out of stock they would refund me in shipping fees.
i paid wednesday and half of my items had arrived at their office.

>>6717775
I was debating between them and Yoybuy but not if YB will charge $2 to take pictures of an item...

>>6717786
I bought some stuff from litongxue. Two blouses that were 69 and 79 yuan.

Found these shoes, thought you guys might be interested.

They don't have my size. ; _ ;
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.289.8sRtK2&id=19108111775

How big is a typical Taobao order for all of you anons?

I've been wanting to buy some stuff for a few months, but I feel like I can't justify the hassle unless I'm ordering quite a bit.

>>6717835
>tfw size 9.5/10

>>6717835
>>6717852

>tfw you shop in the kids section in the US.

Whelp, looks like I know where to buy shoes from now on. I love you Taobao.

>>6717836
it really depends on what you're ordering, and how much you're willing to budget on each item of clothing after domestic/international shipping is factored in

my orders are usually ~3 kg & $200-$300 after shipping for 10-15 pieces of gyaru clothing such as blouses and dresses

What's the best way to pay?
Canadian here,

paypal doesn't seem to convert to CNY/RMB and I'd rather not convert to USD and lose a chunk of money

>>6717869
SHUT UP AND GET OUT!

I HATE YOU!!!

How do you guys feel about people on storeenvy selling taobao items?

>>6717956
If I don't like it, I don't buy it? I get annoyed when they dodge the question or flat out lie... but in the end, who really gives a shit, because people familiar with taobao will know exactly where the items came from and the idiots who pay the 200% mark up will probably never think outside of the box and look for themselves any way.

>>6717956
It's not like every big department store isn't doing the same thing, selling marked up stuff from china

but if the seller's deliberately withholding sauce on their items, of course i'll try my damndest to find the original link and tag it appropriately

>>6717956
Doesn't matter? It's all sold on Ebay so to me Storenvy is basically for anyone who wants Taobao items without having to deal with shopping services. Some of the prices are terrible but it's as simple as just not buying from them.

Where could I get those in black?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.289.8sRtK2&id=19108111775

Where could I find these in black???

>>6717910
Woah, such vitriol. I can't help my feet.

>>6717835
didn't buy those shoes exactly but i bought 4 other things from that shop. adorable ;_;
>tfw reached my budget limit
thanks anon!

Found another mori shop: http://ayakaqjd.taobao.com/

They're not any cheaper than forestfangirls and I didn't see it on the spread sheets. Store has four crowns. Pic related, they're ¥82 and god damn cute.

>>6718085
You're welcome, Anon. I'm legitimately sorry for possibly making you even more broke?? But I'm glad you'll be getting a bunch of cute stuff!

So how much does fees and shipping usually come at, for people living in Scandinavia?

I was planning on making an order with multiple of those chinese ebay sellers, and the total price is $121 for 4 dresses and 3 sweaters including worldwide shipping. Is it worth it, or should I rather go with taobao?

>>6717910
whoa calm the fuck down. shopping in a kids clothing section isn't something to be happy about imo.
you trade off buying anything you want off taobao with a long, sad wait.

Fuck you, TBR. You've had 3 weeks to respond to my emails. You used to be my favourite shopping service, but now you're unresponsive. We're through, TBR. I'm finding another SS who will actually speak to me.

That being said, my only problem is that they've got my Mozarabic Chant preorder. So many mixed feeling right now.

>>6717910
Lol. It's actually not all that great. It means you're stuck with all the terrible-as-fuck shoes that kids have instead of decent quality ones because no-one makes decent, made-to-last shoes in kids' sizes that are meant for anything more than a year of running around at school since their feet grow so quickly, there's no high heels in your size since they don't make them that small, and forget about everything if you want professional-looking shoes to wear with a business suit for an interview, the best you get is black boots or school shoes.

>>6718186

Message them and tell them you *need* a reply or else you will be forced to take action/open a dispute. That's what I did.

>>6718188
Already tried that. I'm already way past the paypal dispute deadline anyway, since I paid 9th Jan.

>>6717771

Cancel it and go with a fast ss, cause I did this once with the Snow White series from Infanta and got burned.
By the time they start processing it's gone, trust me.

>>6716558
Rococo-Soul isn't closing, but they are on hiatus because the shop owner is getting married.

Also fucking Krad Lanrete, they said the final samples of Phantom of the Opera would be up before the 20th and it's still the old pics. And 2nd batch of Mozarabic Chant is supposed to have shipped early this month but only the the JSKs in Red and Blue in M are ready. 1 month late birthday present mah nigga.

PRE-ORDERS FOR PHANTOM OF THE OPERA END IN 6 DAYS. They're supposed to be out late April but I wouldn't count on it. The OP looks gorgeous.

krad666.taobao.com

Dumb question, but I havent bought off taobao in a year or so. I know all the shopping services have changed, whats the most recommended right now?

>>6718177
Please girls, ebay or taobao?

>>6718212
It's hard to say without knowing exactly what you're buying. I've seen dresses being sold on ebay for $60, when on Taobao they're only about $4, in which case it's worth going with Taobao and picking a cheaper shipping option. On the other hand, I've seen dresses sold on ebay for $30 with free shipping, when the same dress on Taobao is $20, and at that point it's worth going with ebay.

>>6718226
Thank you. I really don't know about prices on taobao, but I always feel like the fees and shipping os so high in the end.

Here is my order, total with free shipping is $120, with the most expensive item being the teacup dress ($22). Should I do it?

>>6718246
Sorry, forgot picture..

>>6718247
That stained glass print dress link please!!

>>6718246
If your most expensive item is only $22, I'd say go with ebay. It'll probably work out slightly cheaper. I bought 2 dresses, and my shipping fee was already about $25 (airmail).

>>6718247
Would you please share the link to the grey hoodie and the salmon pink dress? And I would go for it, taobao is tedious with their shipping prices.

It's just not worth it.

>>6718110
don't be sorry, i stopped at my budget so i wouldn't be broke! thanks though, i can't wait til they arrive.
>>6718194
guess i'll switch to spree. has anyone ordered with them recently, how fast are they?

>http://intmail.183.com.cn
>(date: last thursday)
>Status: Opening

First time using SAL. What does this mean? I really want some of those items so I get worried as fuck over everything. Are they going through my stuff?

>>6718517
Probably. Opening usually means just that, opening.

Unless you have replica items then you should be fine, but it's a bad time to be using both SAL and the Chinese post in general (assuming you live in the USA), with all the custom checks and whatnot.

>>6718258
I think the dress is beige, but here is a link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360514384110?var=630064640796
And hoodie:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110995530690?var=410154217088

I have a question about the customs and decimating brand things. How fucked would I be if I bought some film for my instant camera. I just wanted some cute border film for my instax camera instead of just plain white background. And the only place I found it in the USA charged 25-30 for a ten pack.

Since its fuji I don't want my whole package to be decimated over one thing, but at the same time. Fuji has a global license and instax film is hard to get in the US that isn't white. Would it just be a safe bet just to buy one and a few other things and test it out that way, instead of buying a whole lot at once?

Also if it does matter I use taobaonow

>>6715131
sailor top please

>>6718247
Teapot dress?
ty

>>6718517
No one for sure knows unless someone who speaks Chinese can read the postal site about it.

It probably means what it means like other anon said.

>>6718204
Based off threads: tbs, tbt, yoybuy (sometimes), bhiner (...sometimes...ish), tbn, pruany

>>6717869
Wait but 34s are somtimes loose on me from Taobao and I wear size 5 womens from Canadian stores just fine, and I thought USA and Canada used the same shoe sizing system?

>>6714161
TBFoucs anon. I didn't catch your review. Is it in the spreadsheets?

>>6718662
Not really certain, about US and Canada being on the same system. And since shoe sizes vary from style to style. I wear size 3 in sneakers, but anywhere from 4-6 in dress shoes.
Truthfully, shoe shopping for me is a total crapshoot, since my feet are small but slightly wide.

>>6718187
I love you. You're exactly right, except for the heels part, as long as you don't want anything over like 2-3 inches you should be able to find wedges or something.

Bump!

Any one know if this is on Taobao? I don't want to pay Cosmates prices for it.

>>6719227
Isn't that Bodyline?

>>6719271
Probably, but you can't buy it from them anymore.

>>6719227
HelloCosplay sells pretty much the exact same thing if you can't find it on Taobao.

>>6717665
This was like my worst fear. I assumed that the imitiation issue was predominantly concerning major brands that are pretty popular to have knock offs of, like fashion labels and shit.

>>6719286
I found it but it's nearly twice the price of Cosmates and they're only selling the outfit, they took of all the added bows (probably to sell them individually).

>>6719360
Oh, I found the bows. They're on another dress entirely.

Anyone here buy decoden stuff?
I am having trouble telling if I order per bead/sculpture thing or per bag.

>>6719387

The way they list on taobao is really weird. It's the price per item but they sell you them in set amounts. So yeah $.06 each but hey they only sell in packages of a thousand!

Why are all of my SAL packages being shipped EMS? I mean, I pay for SAL shipping, and then I receive my package in just 10 days. I look at the box and it says "EMS".

Explainations, guys? I mean, I'm glad, because normally SAL takes 25 - 40 days to me (USA), but I don't know why they're shipping EMS even though I know I paid for SAL. I feel pretty lucky anywoo.

>>6718650
>>6718517
I speak Mandarin, and Opening is said on every package in China. Every package/parcel that goes through China's customs, the first thing that reads is "Collection" and then "Opening." Yes, they open every package. If you have suspicious shit on the top, you're going to have your entire package searched through and repacked.

>>6719419
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, just pray it keeps happening.

Lucky duck.

>>6719398
So to be safe (if I don't want to get 20,000 in the mail) I should only buy one unit and it will probably be a bag?

>>6718247
Link to cat sweater, teacup dress, and window dress please?

Has anyone seen replicas of these shoes? I'm in love with them but I can't justify the price for brand ones.

>I'm pigeon toed and ruin shoes easily

Are there any decent/cheap plus size stores on taobao?

>>6715354
>>6715837
SOMEONE PLEASE. HAS ANYONE BOUGHT THIS BEFORE?! In this colorway (pink) from mysis.taobao.com?! Is the color EXACT because on every other listing I've seen for this same dress, their version of "pink" is this purple/dark pink ugly color (mysis has a photo of that too - but it's at the very bottom and not on the same dress form).

Fuck man. I'm so used to getting patient Sydney, but now that Sydney won't even fucking answer me, I don't know what the fuck to do.

I'm the anon from >>6714095 , and even after I wrote "To Sydney, please" in the Subject, James still fucking replied and didn't mention a fucking thing about Sydney.

Wow, I'm sorry for all of the f words I used, but I am really pissed. James is so cold and I can't stop thinking of Silent Hill 2 (video game, not movie) when I see "James" has replied to me...

Taobaoring anons: A good thing you could do is make the same cart with Taobaotrends and see which gets confirmed first. As anon said above, the conversion rate isn't much difference. TBTrends is 6% fee and TBRing is 8% fee. I've already gotten a quote from Taobaotrends after ONE NIGHT, whereas my items have been sitting with all of them unconfirmed by Taobaoring.

>>6719745
Yes. Read the FAQ and do a search

Someone has reviews about this store? http://anran124.taobao.com/

Because I want to buy some leggings, but I'm worried when I wear the leggings they are distorted

So I just got a reply from James 30 minutes ago. And the otome dress is still in stock!! But I had checked on a mori blouse this morning and it already sold out, and I can't make another order until after summer.
>>6719822
Huh. What's he like in your e-mails? This is what he wrote to me (t-that wink):
Dear friend,
We'll confirm your order asap., I guess you can make payment today ;)
Best Regards,
James

Is that TBR/yoybuy message referring to SAL? I know that they open every package, but does EMS have a less chance of being completely searched through and confiscated this month?

>>6720001
EMS packages included too. I was going to get mine set EMS when Yoybuy sent me the warning.

>>6720009
Thanks! Guess I'll just wait a month then. I wish we knew if it was ANY replica or big name brands

For the Canadian anons, how do you prefer to pay since the SS's only take USD and CNY (but paypal doesn't convert to cny)?

>>6720000

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.310.6kGgEM&id=19001787502

Sigh, I'm trying to find a pair of shoes but none of the three pairs I've found this far have been in stock. I feel so rude when I keep altering my order.

Also, anon who wants to talk to Sydney - just email her at Sydney@taobaoring.com?
I usually do that, but thought it'd be faster to just get my order confirmed through the service mail. I was right, I sent them an email two hours ago and then everything was confirmed. I'd be able to pay if I didn't need those bloody shoes. Fuck small towns and their lack of shoe stores.

Who is the superior SS nowadays then?

Tbtrends?

>>6720159
TBS, I'd say.

>>6720159
Yoybuy, Bhiner, TBS, TBT, Pruany

>>6718247
Links to all, please? Especially the teacup, stained glass and black dresses

China godzilla here.

Unlike people from the mainland, I have been cursed with being at the height of 5'8" and I've been looking for a pair of school uniform loafers in a size 41.

Am I just royally screwed when buying shoes in general from Taobao or do they actually exist?

>>6720159
>>6720163
I'd say Taobaotrends because they work JUST like Taobaoring and have a 6% service fee instead of 8%.
Taobaospree is 10% fee and has an Excel spreadsheet. I don't even have Excel on my computer and I sure as hell aren't gonna purchase it.

>>6720368
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10919626776

these any good anon?

>>6720373
>Taobaospree is 10% fee and has an Excel spreadsheet. I don't even have Excel on my computer and I sure as hell aren't gonna purchase it.

You are all kinds of retarded if you can't find a free excel program.

>>6720393
Sweet jesus i love you

>>6720373
Uh... you realize you don't have to use the Excel spreadsheet, right? I don't get why people keep saying this. You can just list the items out in your email in text as long as you give all the information... I've always done this and never had an order rejected.

>>6720427
A lot of people still prefer a shopping cart system, myself included

>>6720373
Open Office opens excel and it is free.

>>6720373

Taobaotrends has a 10% fee

>>6720517
If you pay via paypal gift they will knock off 4%

Email them and ask

Is TBR still backed up?

Is the customs looking ending this march or april?
I keep sending out emails/questions and none are being answered.

Is pruany, Taobaotrends and taobaospree letting you add more items after the first weight?

anyone know what the search term for Galaxy fabric would be? Of have you come across any?

So this shop is just on hiatus right? She's sick or something? It's hard to understand.
God I really hope she isn't closing down as well, that would make the third lolita accessory shop in the past month

http://kirakira-w.taobao.com/

>>6720719
It should be in the dictionary? Otherwise check the archives for links for galaxy things and use the listing titles

I know Dear Celine is coming out with new dresses this month and next, does this mean that they'll have more blouses, too? When is the summer stuff going to be releasing, anyway?

Yoybuy has mentioned about them forwarding the parcels via Hong Kong post and Singapore for the smaller packages. Is it reliable to trust that the package will be okay?

I don't buy replicas, and I mostly buy wigs and I would like to ideally wait but I don't want any issues. Does anyone know how the rates change since it is by real parcel weight? Is it more expensive?

How long does it normally take for SAL tracking to show on the site? It's been about a week and still no record under my tracking number. My SS told me not to worry but I wanted to ask you guys too

How long does it take for Pruany to receive my payment? I sent it in a week ago and it still says I haven't paid/all my items are "without payment"

>>6714042
Really happy with DHL on my shipment... arrived in about 5 business days, they CALLED me this morning to alert me it would be out for delivery... now is there any site I can check if Customs looked at the package?

>>6721170
contact their live support, i had the same thing happen with paypal and they cleared it up in 30 minutes

Just got my package sent out from TBR finally. I cant wait to to get my stuff!

>>6720656
Yep.

>>6720675
Probably end of April but who knows at this point.

>>6720753
I can't tell you the first question but when you go by volume weight, it depends on the dimensions of the package itself. If you look at the FAQ under DHL, there's an example for volume weight.

>>6720862
Usually it takes me 3-5 days.

>>6721264
did you purchase any replicas? If so, could you come back and tell us if anything was confiscated?

Package was sent out today so the EMS tracking just started working.

Cosplay stuff doesn't really count as replicas, right? I got a pair of boots for the bf and I'm hoping they don't trash the entire order because of it. Never had a problem before so keeping my fingers crossed.

Wow tbr took a lot of pics of my shoes in my order.

Sage because I'll do a collage of it later when home.

It has been over month now and Krad Lanrete still hasn't sent out my items to my SS.

>>6720089
I wonder why he does it. Every single e-mail I've gotten from him has had an unnecessary ;) somewhere in it.

Might be just to appear more friendly.

He seems nice enough, he confirmed my order last night after my hassle with replacing items that were out of stock. Just payed now.

I think I would have gone with another agent if I didn't have stuff at their office already. Oh well. I wont make another order in a few months now, I've been spending too much money in the last few months.

I fucking hate James. Why in the fuck won't Sydney answer my Emails. I've sent two more Emails with no reply. This is unacceptable. Taobaotrends confirmed my entire order and I sent payment to them.

And guess what? I made another Email to do exact what >>6714113 wrote to subject. I sent them an Email with the exact copy and pasta. They won't know it's me I'm sure, but Sydney better fucking answer me. I'm getting real sick of this shit. I want my fucking axes femme replicas.

Does taobatrends ships with SAL?

I've bought a couple of skirts from them. The print was fine, the construction could have been better. One of my chiffon skirt wasn't even sown on the edges so the fabric could have unraveled itself.

A midget.

>>6721845
Yes. It's not on their main page just like Taobaoring, but Email them and yeah.

i'm happy because i ordered on wednesday and paid same day (hoping all items would be in stock) and today all my items had arrived and i paid the shipping.
on the other hand, i feel bad for all tbring users who are struggling with their orders.

Group order just came in. Lemme situate myself, and I'll have pics + review any items that belong to me.

Excited for you, anon!

Bumping for thissss

>>6722049
UHH IS THAT RED STUFF REPACK TAPE?

How do you say/find a purse with brown cow print on it. The kind with fur, Like western wear makes.

>>6721814
Aren't you afraid of them getting confiscated though?

>>6722177
It says EMS all over it, and I don't see anything missing, so I don't think so.

So all of these shipping problems should only matter for replicas, right? Yoybuy made it sound like they wouldn't ship even though I didn't order anything that should cause a problem. I read through the archive, but it looked like most people only mentioned replicas.

>>6722206
No, because Axes Femme is a small brand. I doubt any of them know about it. I've gotten Lizlisa as well as Vivienne Westwood items confiscated, and I know never to order things like that from China again... Especially at risk of my whole parcel getting destroyed from just one/two items.

>>6722203
Ah. I couldn't make out the writing on the tape. My last package had tape all over it that said "Repacked by Beijing customs China Post," and shit was confiscated.

>How do you say/find a purse with brown cow print on it.
Fucking stupid.

I was too stupid to take a picture of everything before I unboxed it, but here's pt 1.

I used Taobaoring. My agent was Sydney.
I had my first payment on March 8th, had all of the items delivered by the 19th (some stores were slower then they usually were, for whatever reason). The items were paid for on the 19th, and they arrived today.

1. Skirt and Shirt from Tao Tao Mumu.
Although I ordered the skirt in a medium, it came in a large. Because of this, the straps are rather long, about 5" longer where they button in then I would like, but that's probably a problem with my shipping service.
The shirt is kind of itchy, and the fabric is rough and wrinkles a lot on both the items, but that's nothing that was opposed in the listing, the items look overall like the images, and aren't bad.

2. Inori wig from Ghost Cos
Very soft, smooth, doesn't seem to tangle at all. It's pretty thick for a taobao wig, and the colors are pretty accurate. I'm really impressed with this wig overall

3. Asuka Hat from Fantasy Sheep
I remember seeing a lot of negative comments about this one? It seems pretty well constructed to me; I was really surprised that it was of decent quality, after hearing all of the negative reviews, and even seeing some images. The shape and ears are nice, and my only complain are that the pins are of cheap quality, and really difficult to put on it.

>>6722279
How thick is the skirt and shirt? I was contemplating ordering it and don't mind the fabric being itchy as long as the fabric is not see through.

>>6722221
Yeah it's only replicas.

>>6722279
pt. 2
Shimapan and Sukumizu from Hope.
The Shimapan only came in one size, and don't have the size listed, so it was kind of worrying getting them. Thankfully they fit me. The blue one came a LOT more turquoise then pictured, but otherwise, both are accurate to the image.
The sukumizu was probably the most dissapointing piece that I recieved. The only sizes there were were in height, so I once again had no clue about the measurements I was going off on. I'm not going to complain about being too fat that it's a little tight, although I do fit, but I do think that they should have the sizes up. The part that concerns me is that the fabric itself barely stretches, and doesn't seem like it's suited for water at all. It's not a thing I would think about wearing into the water. It's also very thin, and areolas/nipples are very visible through them, with no area to place pads. The only place it is thickened is beneath, in the crotch area, which seems to be a completely different piece sewn on.

3. Evangelion Hair Clips from Booyaa.
Came exactly as in pic, look and function well.

4. Kigurumi from dyltsy
I normally would never order from a heart store, much less one that has a 4.7 quality rating, but a friend had placed this order, then decided that she no longer wanted it, so I ended up paying for it and took it. The fabric is a lot fuzzier then in the images, and looks like it woudl pick up a lot of stray things really quickly, kind of like felt fabric. The tail is completely deflated, with almost no cotton in it, not nearly as perky as in the stock image.

>>6722302
The shirt is thin enough that you might see the shading if you, say, wore a black bra, but otherwise, they're both quite opaque. It's just like one simple layer of cotton.

>>6722308
Thanks. I guess I just have to ask them to ship anyway.

>>6722268
It's for my grandmother, who likes cows, but thanks for being a bitch about it

On the left under 'Order Inquires' go to 'without payment'. All the items with 'without payment' should be there and the check boxes should be clickable now. Just scroll down and click select all and press payment.

>>6722279
Question about the skirt, how tall are you? I'm 5'6" and it looks like it would be long enough to be modest but I wanted to make sure.

Hi guys! So, I've never ordered from Taobao before and I'm pretty nervous about the whole replica thing. I was going to order this winged backpack, which is totally a replica. I figure the big name brands are more likely to be confiscated, but has anyone ever had issues with lesser known things like this?

what can you search to find salopettes?

Are more people starting to use taobaotrends? Are they reputable & offer SAL?

What are you doing way back here?

Back to the front page with you, silly little thread.

Unless it's autosaging. Then I'm just a retarded faggot.
