/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

A costume site was having a clearance sale on the official Sailor Moon licensed costumes for only $10, holy jeez. I got one to use as a base, as I'm probably going to have to redo a lot of it.

This in black and a couple of random accessories for lolita just to bulk out my collection because I'm super picky about accessories.

>>6802098
Oh, that's really cheap. Link?

I just bought these from ebay and aliexpress. Trying to get ready for the summer!

>>6802098
Link please! My friends and I have been meaning to do a group and we were looking at using those as bases as well!

>>6802142
>>6802124
Here you go:
http://www.buycostumes.com/c/_/N-/Ntt-sailor+moon?SortBy=Name&ItemsPerPage=96

They even have Sailor Moon's boots on clearance for only $10 and they look pretty good too, hnhnngh

I might order few more tights later.
Does anyone know where can I find more tights based on paintings? Thank you!

>>6802098
>A costume site was having a clearance sale
Well, thanks for not pointing anyone directly to it.
I managed to place an order anyway.

>>6802153
Well, that wasn't the site I found. It was Costume Express, but the same assortment and prices.

>>6802170
Aw I wish I had known about this site. Shipping's just a tad cheaper than from Buycostumes

>>6802124

These are all super cute. Do you have a specific ebay seller that you shop from for dresses and such?

I always get nervous ordering shoes online in case the sizing is off.

I just picked up the package that I've been waiting for for 3 months a couple of hours ago!

One gorgeous long brown wig (First long wig that isn't horrible in fibers and quality yay)
One Corpse Party costume that thankfully fits perfectly.

Aaand picture related. I know a lot of people have been nervous about buying any JumpFromPaper replicas from Taobao, but I'm just here to say that I absolutely love this bag. CarryinSpace make good replicas, so if you're poor but in absolute love with the designs, I recommend them.

I am happy that I just decided to go with a 'handbag' for my electronics and money rather than a bigger 'office' bag, cause it'd be much too tight and thin to fit all of my work papers in any of the models. With that said, I can fit my PS Vita, PSP, Nintendo DS (all in their respective bags) and phone in there and still have a lot of room for smaller items. There's a pocket on the back just big enough for all of my cards or cash. And it works well as a convention bag that I can drag around while cosplaying so I am super happy. Only minus is that the bag is, imo, preeeetty heavy even when it's empty. But I'll probably get used to that.
If any of the anons who asked for this review are still around, I give you a thumbs up.

>>6802218
I use quite a lot of time on ebay looking for stuff so I don't really have one specific store. Decided to try aliexpress this time since the prices seems a bit lower than on taobao and they had some stuff that ebay don't have, so only the heart dress is from ebay.

>>6802295
Link? I Google's the text in the image and couldn't find it. Pardon my stupidity

>>6802156
What about those Innocent World x Mucha tights?

>>6802156
Does those tights work on legs that are not super skinny? I'm like 5'6.

>>6802476
I'm the anon who reviewed the Mucha tights and honestly I don't think those ones would. You could try making them into thigh highs though, and I don't know about the other painting tights.

>>6802478
>>6802461
I feel apprehensive about these tights... they're gorgeous unworn or put onto a flat surface, but the curves of legs (even if they're severely underweight) seems like they would distort the artwork and basically ruin the whole point of the collaboration

>>6802461
Hnnnng. They're a waste of money for me because I'm a fucking cow and would probably rip them the first time but HNNNNNG.

>>6802461
I don't understand what happened to the one lady, does she just have a giant dick?

>>6802482
Actually they wear pretty well, as long as you adjust them so that the figures line up along your leg. This is assuming you don't have huge legs though; if you're 5'6" and very skinny you'll be fine, but otherwise it'll probably distort.

>>6802486
..It's the fold of cloth dipping between her legs in her dress.

>>6802408
I got it from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370799326379?var=640079653023&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648

This is kind of a long shot but does anyone know an ebay store or a taobao shop with blue long sleeved jumpsuit/coveralls like this one? White ones are fine too!

>>6802124
Link to sweater, please?

>>6802169
You could ASK like a normal human being or actually look at the anon responding and posting a link.

A few wigs that I ordered had come in a few days ago, which was a couple weeks sooner than the estimated delivery, so that was exciting.

Boots! I usually only buy black shoes, but I just had to have them. I've no idea what I can wear them with though.

>>6802333
This looks like flat paper with a picture of a bag printed on it. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it.

>>6802333
>>6802799
Every time I look at a picture of one of these things, it takes me a good minute or two of staring to figure it out.

Finally got around to pre-ordering this today. Now I wait.

>>6802333
How good are those bags for holding larger items, like a laptop or books? I'm thinking about buying a replica off taobao as well, but I'm scared it will fall apart easily.

>>6803062
Not that anon but I have one. It won't be able to hold a laptop really well unless you have a netbook. It can hold regular novel sized books up to Harry Potter in length and width...sorta. It's sturdy but not very big.

>>6803056
I just reserved mine and my sister's copy!!

I seem to post the same things every thread...however, the petticoats and headbow are now shipped, and the MM dress finally shipped - I'm super excited, although I now need to save for customs charges. Also, Roland jacket for half retail = awesome.

>>6802124
Is aliexpress legit? Some of the prices are really good, especially when they have free shipping.

>>6803056
>alpacas
>deer
SAY HELLO TO MY WALLET, NINTENDO

>>6804068
Sauce for the white dress, please? It's lovely!

>>6803056
Is there any bonus for pre-ordering?

>>6804094
I'd like to know this aswell, a lot of the things seem 2 good 2 b tru for the price

Is aliexpress reliable? I want to buy one of these winged backpacks from there but I'm not sure if it's safe to buy from there.

>>6804146
>>6804094
I don't know since it is my first time ordering from them, but I can write a review when I get the items.

>>6805044
aliexpress is kind of like ebay. it's a bunch of different chinese sellers listed there. assuming i understand it correctly the money is held in escrow and you have to give feedback before the seller gets at the money or some shit. i've used it a few times for random other stuff and it's worked fine.

currently waiting on

>>6804102
Emily Temple Cute 'Townhouse' is what the seller called it. I'm not sure if it has an official name.

Also I just ordered this today for a friend's birthday.

His birthday's not for a few months, but I really wanted to order one just admire it myself first before I gave it to him, haha

>>6805263
link to that benefit set, please?

>>6805279
http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/feelin-dandy
I always wear quite heavy makeup and as I'm trying to improve my skin and go a bit more natural for day-to-day makeup, I thought this kit seemed perfect. Quite pricey, but it has some really nice products in.

>>6805269
c-can we be friends now?

My body is ready.

>>6805463
Holy shit that will look amazing.

;-; It'll be here tomorrow, I'm just so impatient.

Brother XL2600I

a big haul, biggest so far this year.... im a shopping addict, someone help me

>>6809676
The BtSSB Roman print in blue is so adorable, I wish I had gotten a reservation in

>>6809684
the sax skirt is still available on tokyorebel

>>6809587
Oh my.. what a sexy piece of machine. I have an older brother at the moment and i love it. I can only imagine what an upgrade would do.

>>6805269
oh man.... where can you find these? I'd love you forever. I'm terrible at reverse searching.

>>6809676
Dat shark bag. Fuck I love it so much.
Also do you have a link to the multicoloured tutu is possible?

>>6809779
6%dokidoki

>>6809587
Good choice, anon! Mine has carried me through many years of cosplay, treat it well and it'll treat you well.

>>6809676
Where are the gold heeled TP's from?

For a sweet $65 whooo.

>>6805269
Sauce? I wanna get these for my boyfriends birthday.

>>6810439
Where did you get it for $65? A friend?

>>6809755
>>6810498

Sure, here ya go:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-Ball-Z-Crystal-Ball-Big-Seven7-Star-Dragon-Ball-78cm3-Rubber-Material-/111048595308

Search the seller if you want any other numbered Dragonball. For some reason a 1-star ball is $7 cheaper than the rest...

If you decide to buy from another listing, be sure to check the size of the ball. This one is 7.8cm in diameter, but there's many other listings for cheaper ones that are only 4cm in diameter. Make sure it's the size you want or you might be disappointed

>>6810582
not same anon who asked, but still big dbz fan. this is awesome! Thank you

Bluh.

>>6810591
>punpun
I'm surprised I would see merch for punpun.

>>6810603
Most of the manga volumes have bonuses included for first printing

>>6810603
I know! I've seen plushies and keychains, but they're all fairly expensive/sold out. I nearly shit myself when I found the pins

>>6810612
I didn't know that. I don't really buy manga. Damn I wish I imported the first printing now but ahh well...

>>6810614
Yeah seriously. I remember seeing a few stuff on Amiami but most were expensive.

>>6810591
Sauce for Parappa socks. HOLY SHIT DEM SOCKS.

>>6810634
http://animechara-socks.com/SHOP/PASOC05.html
Here you go!

+ a high wasited silk cherubim skirt with cream frill from lady sloth.

Planning on adding/making a matching floral headband, white crochet tights, and a cream satin bow as a sash.

>>6810591
That doraemon shirt is super cute!

>>6810678
That purse is cute as all fuck.

>>6810685
Totally by accident that I found it too. Was on ebay for like 50$+ so I did some search on taobao and found it for much cheaper. There are different versions as well. Got tons of cute bags and backpacks.

>>6810734
Whoops, dropped link.

I'm sure it's on taobao somewhere, but I don't really order from taobao and it's less than 2$ shipped so wasn't a great loss.

>>6802124
Ooooh link please for the heart cut out dress it is super cute.

>>6802295
I am kicking myself for not buying these shoes when I had the chance while I was over seas. Where did you find them? I am a 8.5 US, but I fit into the 39 and 40 Chinese shoe size just fine.

>>6810788
Thanks.
I prefer ebay for small things like that anyway, more space for my loli.

>>6810582
Thanks so much anon!

Small taobao order! (MC headdress is actually in grey).

>>6805263
Sauce on pink blouse in center?

I'm just waiting for my wig

>http://thefivewits.net/2011/09/magical-evening-glimmering-horn

It's a good thing that I ordered it today since the five wit's shipping prices are going to hike up.

>>6802021
kind-of a small haul, but i'm excited.

>>6810582
Thank youuu~ They're a lot smaller than what I hoped for, at least they're still nice.

My current haul with a few dream prints as well. I love the old meta prints, I hope they release something like old emblem again.

Just bought Geo Nudy Golden Blue contacts
So stoked.
Hoping they look good on my very light eyes.

>>6811277
oh my, links to the crown ring and tooth necklace, if you please?

Currently waiting on this wig and two small twin tails the same color for a base on my Jolyne wig!
Here's hoping the color is as bright as it looks

>>6811313
Here you go, both are from eBay, and the tooth one is actually a bracelet but they do have necklace versions (you can find them on Taobao but eBay is just easier and still very cheap with free postage)

Closet Child!

Just got my first Lolita OP on mbok for $50. The set came with a matching headbow and lavender/white AP OTKs. Really excited!

>>6811519
what sort of service did you use to buy from there?
I been looking for one forever!

Unless of course you live in Japan then I apologize greatly for my ignorance.

that aside I'm waiting on a wig, BB cream, and a bunch of rings I bought from taobao.
I missed the opportunity to go pickup my parcel yesterday because work kept me till too late so tomorrow I think I will.

>>6811528
I used chibi_tenshi from the egl community. Highly recommended by a lot of my Lolita friends. She's excellent and has great communication and response times. :)

>>6811529
oh! Thank you I will give her a look!

>>6811519

Not a lolita, but isn't the dress in your picture a JSK?

>>6811538
yeah I realized after I posted it, I posted the jsk version like a dork. Real dress is attached (but it's not mint, same colour as the last one).

>>6809717
do you call it oniichan

Boy do I feel like a weeb right now.
Also just purchased a bunch of new furniture, and need to go get a new passport on monday.

good bye paycheck it was nice knowing you

>>6811554

Oh my God.

my spring/summer haul, still waiting for most stuff to be shipped. Im a bit worried about the Lady Sloth bag though, placed my order like 5 weeks ago... Does anyone know how long shipping for her items usually takes?

Currently waiting for my Japan Order and the second row wig order. (Not pictured is the black trench coat I got for a couple of my cosplays) I'm going to order the other wigs on both sides and my friends stuff later in the month, I need to wait for the money to pay for them all.

Then everything else I'm debating buying, though I'm 85% sure I'll be getting my Clear, fairyroom, and Nagito stuff. It's the Kuroko no Basuke stuff that I'm not sure what to do with yet.

>>6810678
Source for the boots please? They look real nice for Classic coord.

3 Black Peace Now bow/neckties. Because of jabot/bowtie addiction. Still trying to find that elaborate AatP jabot that I saw on the sales comm a few years ago.

>>6811608
Those wigs are adorable. Especially the white/pink short one.

>>6811625
Sorry, bought it preowned off on ebay and the seller didn't list the name of the maker. :(

Waiting for Sleeping Garden. Soon, my love. Soon.

A string of Blue LED's and more EVA foam for my Shepard costume.

>>6811589
Ooh, that MM jacket! I saw that on auction and was so tempted to bid on it...

Everything shipped out, I wish Japonica offered a cheaper shipping option. Ouch.

90% of this will be here within a week, only the IW skirt is somewhere in post.

I'm finally feeling like I have a well rounded wardrobe.

A couple of the things I'm waiting on that I didn't post yet.

>>6810678
Very nice haul! Your coord looks like it'll be very pretty.

I'm about to order a buttload of crown jewelry too but I have to wait until I move (end of finals = leaving my dorm)

>>6811277
Ahhh the Blue Meta Frame is lovely, congrats!

>>6811589
Hnnnngh dat Excentrique. Also very jealous of the MM blazer! Someday I'll get my hands on one of those.

>>6812198
I have that same JSK. It is the most beautiful thing ever.

>>6812430
what brand is white blouse in the middle?

Too lazy to do a collage. Just paid for EMS shipping on my auction haul. Now waiting for them to ship and arrive:

- 5 dresses (2 x IW, 2 x AatP, 1 x Milky Ange)
- 1 corset skirt (Atelier Pierrot)
- 1 bustier/corset (Excentrique)
- 2 waistcoats (both Atelier Boz)
- 1 ring, 1 choker, 1 headdress (all BtSSB)
- 3 boleros (1 OzzOn, 1 H.Naoto, 1 AatP)

Hoping I don't get hit with customs fees on this.

>>6812856
Axes Femme.

They make really cute cutsews/blouses that work really well with lolita.

>>6813175
Thought so, that one looks really nice.

>>6811589
I would definitely check up the status of the bag. She orders the bags from another source, I think, and it'll take her at least two weeks to get it in. Since brown was most popular, she probably didn't order enough last round and your order had to be pushed back for the next. Still, I would definitely check up on it assuming you haven't already.

>>6811625
If you're looking for nice shoes in a classic coord, ebay is a decent enough source if you keep an eye out. Keywords to use are 'ankle boots, lace up, oxford' and narrowing down to size, color, and heel height.

Example pic is a nice shoes for a classic cord. Leather oxford 8.5 US size and is 19$ shipped right now.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121102189639?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Just got 8 wigs in the mail, and waiting on everything in my image. Left is for my lolita co-ord, left is for cosplay or impulse buys. Someone needs to take away my debit card!

>>6814029
Please review the rilakkuma thing (along with link) whenever it arrives.

>>6815192
Sure! It might not ne for a couple of weeks though. The taobao store has a double crown rating so I'm expecting good shit

waiting on my taobao order

>>6815484
THAT GRAY DRESS!! I've been looking to buy it everywhere! Where did you find it?

>>6815484
All of that is gorgeous omg
What stores are they from??

wigs from cyperous
Why do they have so many browns.
These shades of brown better not look like ass on me.

>>6815484
link for the long wig?

not the anon with the order but I stumbled upon the same wig a bit ago! Please enjoy!

>>6815484
hhhnnng dat green skirt! Source on that and the cardis next to and above it?

I have some more bundles on 25" scarlet hair extensions coming in for the plume on Ornsteins helmet. I bought one to see the quality, and it was great stuff. Wasnt expecting quality and smoothness from a cheap ebay shop. Sadly it only comes in small extensions, so had to order 15 of them (still under $16).

>>6811589

You're probably in for a bit of a wait. I ordered a brown violin bag around the same time ago and I've only just now wormed a tracking number out of her.

Still in Warsaw according to the tracking page

>>6805269
What is this?

>>6817006
I don't know if you saw the discussion in another thread (I think it was loli general?) but Poland's tracking and postal service is absolute ballsacks, so don't even trust the tracking info. Some peoples' didn't even update until it was at their doorstep.

>>6817156
fucking christ, people not knowing what dragon balls are.
what board am i on again?

I'm super excited for these items, I got a great deal on the Meta set and I have always loved that series, I FINALLY found matching briefs to a bra I bought last year and I love dolls and nurse themed things. Yay!

>>6819543
I want to pull those undies off with my fuckin teef

I'm a girl

>>6810678
Got my blouse in and it's more of a cream color than the picture, but that's not such a loss since cream is the color I want to dominate my outfit. The fit is snug around the breast area though. :( Gotta lose some weight and hope that helps out a bit.

But holy shit, I just got the petticoat and it's a malco modes 582. The seller only listed it as 'partners please' which is an older malco modes label but the tag has 'malco modes 582' on it. And I got it for about 20$ shipped.

So fucking fluffy. Is it supposed to be this poofy? Omg i can't stop spinning.

Fuck, I love ebay.

>>6819543
Oh God, where did the nurse lica come from? She's heaven.

I got my Oojia Melty Planet tote yesterday, it's got the usual print flaws and the straps are really short but it's to be expected.

I also ordered a new eyeball bow hairclip from ebay to replace one of the Kreepsville ones I lost. But the knock-off is much wider, so they look really awkward together. I should have just paid bigbucks for another real pair or something.

>>6819543
A few months ago, I ordered pantsuu~ from Taobao. I got them in the mail after about three weeks. A few days later, I got another one. And they didn't charge me extra.
I just got paid, you guys are making me want to buy stuff I don't need.

>>6803246
>>6804098
>>6804146
I'd love to exchange friend codes and stuff with all of you! But that stuff's not cgl and quite frankly I don't feel like seeing /v/ shitting Animal Crossing if I made a thread there...

Also waiting for my Taobao Order.

Just got my striped pantsu in the mail.

Waiting on a Bhiner order as well

>>6819703
link? those look like a nicer quality fabric than other things I've seen on Taobao

>>6802567
I just got some white coveralls from allseasonsuniforms.com. About $40 with UPS shipping and got to me pretty quick.

>>6819712

Yeah, they're really nice and soft. Probably because they're from the states though

http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=6443_9375_030&catId=cat2640007

They're part of a 7 for $26 deal. 3 of the 7 pairs I bought might be the teal and white striped ones. Maybe...

>>6819722
Ahh, haha. That's why. Thank you!

Hairpieces are from a Prisila shop on Taobao. Soap Bubbles JSK and a Jesus Diamante cardigan (not pictured) are from Closet Child. I'm using the cosplay as a base for my group for Fanime. Though I ordered on the April 21st and I haven't got any notification of it shipping yet so I'm getting a bit worried.

>>6819754
Forgot photo.

My IW Mucha tights arrived but they were sent to my father's house and I'm so scared I won't fit into them I might die.

>>6820317
I bought mine during golden week and still waiting for it to get shipped. I don't care I am stretching those mother fuckers with my cankles until those ladies look 5 times bigger

>>6820317
>>6820421
If you guys are bold enough you can cut them into thigh highs and sew the tops down if they don't fit length wise.

>>6820451
Haha I was just joking around. I fit into Japanese tights easy but I always see burando ambassadors going on and on about how fatty chans are stretching the previous socks and they don't deserve to have them.

Fuck you, Australia Post. Seriously. Right in the massive arsehole.

Package is coming EMS from Japan. The Japanese site will only track the item up until it leaves the country. After that, it doesn't update until the package has been delivered. I'm accustomed to this. That's how it almost always works. Sometimes, steps between customs and delivery will show up, but usually there's a slight delay between events and updates.

Except that this time the Auspost tracking site claims that my "product [is] not trackable". Fuckyou, Australia Post. It's EMS. It's always trackable.

>>6815865
oh lawd

please, please please review those wigs when they arrive, i'm planning on dropping ~$150 on a bunch of them soon

+ BPN jsk that I didn't save a pic

>>6821297
No problem.
You have no idea, I talked myself down from 300$ worth of new wigs just to try out every shade of brown.
they have a flat 3,000 yen shipping, I can tell you that much.

>>6822052
I have to admit, I was very shocked when my bank was charged just $139.90 USD for a 13,700 yen order, I love you exchange rate. I love you.

>>6802156 here
My angel tights just arrived. I love them so much, they don't stretch or anything. I'm 5"6 and a half and it looks quite good. Sorry for the shitty photo.

AP Nail kit
AP Make up pouch
AP Sugary Carnival tote
Baby mook
AP Wonder Party Mini Sleeve JSK.

Fuck yeah. I've been wanting this dress for YEARS! Yay!

If it arrives tomorrow I will be spending the rest of my evening eating ice cream in it. Sooon.

did a small order from ebay and bodyline.
Once I have more I really want to order some shoes or another wig

The DH OP was shipped on monday
and the wig, lipstick, and keyboard stickers are all but in LA customs already.

All I can say to this is..,
my body is ready.

>>6822059
Mmm this so much. I've felt less buyers remorse just because I'm not over spending.

Tons of stuff should be arriving in the next couple of days, I'm super excited.

Two cosplay wigs, a Sailor Senshi tiara and brooch (I am awful at props), three pairs of Bodyline shoes, and a pattern for the Senshi cosplay.

My Taobao order arrived two days ago, got Mozarabic Chant skirt in red. Waaay longer than I was expecting, but I actually really like it.

Too excited.

could you do a review of the ebay stuff when you get it?

>>6826910
You know Lucaille wigs takes international orders direct from their taobao, right? And the wigs are cheap as hell

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261198053928&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:3160

>>6828137
Oh I did not know that.
I should just do that next time.
I mean the wig itself cost like 10usd and the shipping wasn't that much either.

So to order from them directly do I send them an email or ?

>>6828125
oh dangit it cutout cause
I'm bad with PCs lol!
But yes ! I would be more than happy to do a review of the ebay purchases once I get them!
I got the keyboard stickers and lipstick today!
But I will wait until more of the items come before doing a review

>>6828205
I am 90% sure that ebay shop is using stolen pictures.

Yea you just email her, it;s on her taobao

>>6828208
excellent

I've wanted a furisode for years, and I finally managed to find that wasn't over a thousand dollars/way too short/a color I look bad in/et cetera.

Also I am hideously fond of the fact that it has sparkly metallic threads woven into the crepe.

>>6828225
Awesome furisode! You should pick up a gold and maroon obi for it if you can find one, I bet it would look classy as fuck

>>6826910
I hope the sailor fuku don't be 100% oxford like another one from body line I 've seen irl.

Ordered my first ever dress ;u;

>>6828360
Good choice, Anon!
I have this dress and it's wonderful!

>>6815865
Got these today!
Fuck they are thick, soft, and wonderful.
The Hime bump on the half wig is so nice, and the curls are wonderful and beautiful.
The long one is SO THICK SHIT, and does not tangle even after I changed the dress I was wearing 20 times haha.
Even the long one is not that heavy, like, I don't know, some long thick wigs feel like you have 10 lbs added to your head, where this one feels more like my normal hair did when it was that long.
But, the browns I went with were really, really dark. Like brownish black dark.
And I kind of did not like it at first but now I am in love with it after trying them on with everything I own, can not bear to part with them so I will just have to order more in there lighter browns.
Also, they sent me like 6 wig caps. Witch is good, because I always loose wig caps.

>>6829245
Gah did not mean to sage, also, I should say I got colors 406 and 712

>>6828404

>>6832397
where did you get that eva shirt? Is there a 02vs?

Dying of excitement.
This is one of my dream dresses and I had enough money to fully accessorize it so I can wear it about as soon as it all gets here.

>>6832479
I got it from here: http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/9950661158/

Sadly, no Unit 02 version. I wish there was.

I'm ordering a bunch of cute kneesocks, too but these are the main clothing items I'm getting!
I really can't wait for the blue wig and Cinnamoroll shirt! I'll be wearing them all the time.

>>6832500

Sure!

>>6833131
The ones I've tried are tiny as fuck. I'm 5'2" and 32-23-31 and have trouble getting them up.

>>6834533
Seconding this, barely 5'1" and 26-34 w/h and brand tights I've tried give me trouble

Can't wear it for a month though, I'm wearing it to a wedding and I promised I'd wear something new for it.

>>6834551
Oh wow, that's lovely! I've never seen it before, what print is it? Tried a reverse image search but didn't find anything specific

>>6834562
It's Mermaid in the Jewelry box.

>>6834570
*explains, wow fingers

>>6834565
Ohhh, that explaisn it. I caught the reserve page way late and never even saw the OP/JSK. The ivory looks way better than I expected

>>6834570
Yeah I was originally going to go for the blue version but the more I looked at the ivory the more I liked it.
I didn't catch the reservation either, just got lucky and they had some available on the day they released it.

Pravana bleach, shit is the best and totally worth the wait.

I just got the message from Bodyline today confirming that this has been shipped. I'm really excited about this as I haven't gotten a new dress in a long while.

>>6836340
In what colourway?

This wig

>>6836375
Brown. I haven't seen this particular dress worn very much, though, in any of the colorways.

>>6836417
Nice choice! Probably the best colour, in my opinion.

>>6828103
Are you me? I ordered a pair of cat shoes and the wing bag. Although god help you you didn't order the bag from vanberry.

This. Just this. The other items were sold out in the colours I wanted most, so I skipped them.

So many exciting things in this thread! I've just been ordering boring last-minute things like buttons and make-up. I really hope the latter arrives soon because I'm in serious need of getting some practice in before the con.

after being on cgl for so long I feel like I could spot someone else on the street from cgl

>cat bag or wing bag
>galaxy seifuku
>gradient wig
>tattoo socks or fake thigh highs

/cgl/ kei maybe

>>6838180
more like taobao-kei...

Where can I find that teapot bag, kind anon?

>>6832625
Tutu and maid links, please?

>>6838284
Which style is it?

A few figures. I'm expecting them to come in around the time of a con I'm going to, which is nice as it'll tide me over so I don't buy overpriced shit at the con.

>>6838405
since when was an AP bracelet and matching crown pins "cheap and tacky?"

don't listen to that anon. it's going to be cute.

bape jacket, shit is gonna be dope as fuck. im gonna be straight up stunting on niggas

>>6838649
Greta I think? I'll post a pic when I get it. Really didn't feel like ordering from china as I'm never home when the postman needs shit signed for.

>>6811570
i was thinking of buying that nichijou uniform from that seller but my SS said that the shop had low ratings (like 2 hearts instead of crowns/diamonds) so they were wary of buying from them...could you post a review when you get it?

>>6838870
It's not an AP bracelet, it's a crappy and crunchy wristcuff. If you need to ask, don't bother.

>>6838502

Don't ever buy anything from aliexpress.
Their purchasing system is dodgy.
Bought a couple things off them and my credit card details were used for many other international transactions days later. I lost like $200 and had to cancel my card. Stay away.

just had this shipped out with stuff i posted in an old thread
>"i just need one order from grimoire and then i'm having it shipped"
>tfw you spent $900
>tfw you do this every month even though you don't make that much
>why.jpg

>>6838180
I saw a girl at a tattoo convention who had that wing bag, some kind of crop top, high-waisted pleather shorts with buttons, thigh highs, and big clunky shoes (demonia or something maybe). I think her hair was lilac or dip-dyed or something too. I have to wonder if she's among us, but I told my boyfriend she probably came from tumblr. If not, and you're reading this, be my friend, I have never met another of my kind.

>>6842502
Isn't it owned by the same people as Taobao? or is that Alibaba? Or are those both? I think you just need to look at seller credit, like with anything.

>>6842531
lizlisa anon again? godly taste, as usual~

>>6842541
Pretty sure both are the same owners as TaoBao.

Back again! Caught a dream dress this time. Been fiddling over the colors and fabric this one comes for a long time. With the rest of the stuff I bought before I'm completely content... for the time being. Dream dress seals the deals.

My Genesis Rhapsodos boots arrived on Monday.
Now comes the fun of learning to walk in them.

You guys said Alexpress might not be reliable, Buychina is really similar looking to Alexpress and I'm making a cart of stuff there. Is it safe?

You guys said Aliexpress might not be reliable, Buychina is really similar looking to Aliexpress and I'm making a cart of stuff there. Is it safe?

>>6842541
The CEO was the same. He recently retired.

>>6842844
Look at the taobao SS spreadsheet and see why we don't like buychina (minus that one buychina faggot that keeps posting).

>>6842844
No. For the love of god, no.

>>6843385
Other than being expensive it doesn't seem that bad to me. I just want some clothes in time for an anime convention and not every review for that site is bad. As long as the Taobao seller you're buying from has good reviews, shouldn't it be safe to buy from them?
Because once /cgl/ told me Ebay was really horrible and nothing you get is ever the same as the picture, and I bought 4 wigs, a cosplay, and a dress and they were all the same as the pics.

>>6843646
But that's precisely why I wouldn't buy with them.

Not having a consistent exchange rate, no consistent fees (such as 5% of the item+domestic shipping), and not showing how much it is to ship domestically to the SS.

Of course it is safe to order from sellers on Taobao that are reputable but why buy something expensive when it's cheaper to go through the same items with another SS.

In the past, buy china has posted on /cgl/ and other such crap (see screenshot in SS spreadsheet on buychina's individual page) but even disregarding that, I wouldn't buy from them for the more expensive reason.

>>6843697
What other shopping service could I use to get me some items in 12 days or less? Because I'd gladly use another shopping service if it's cheaper and my cosplay will get here in time, it's just that Buychina was easy to use and it tells you how quickly the item would be to ship right there on the page.

>>6843708

no one, not even buychina can get you something that quickly. Even the quickest taobao orders go like this

1. Order (1-2 days)
2. Wait for shipping (3 days)
3. Process order (1 day)
4. Ship EMS (fastest shipping) (7-14 days)

it's not even feasible, so try ebay at best

>>6843708
That seems unreasonable for any SS. All SS are businesses after all and they have to deal with hundreds of orders at a time.

If even on a good day, let's say you order now. They may get to your order within one to three days. You pay for your shit. Then the sellers who need to ship the items might not necessarily do it soon so shipping from sellers to a SS will take a couple days. Then you have to wait for the SS to gather your items, weigh them, and give you a shipping quote on various shipping methods. You pay for that but it may not be sent the same day you pay for it.

Even if you use some of the fastest shipping like DHL, that seems too close to get something from another country.

Also don't forget that packages even with fastest shipping may get held up at customs for whatever reason (whether that be China's or your country's).

>>6843743
Oh and let's not forget that the seller might not even be the one shipping to the SS and it comes from the warehouse the seller gets the items from. Those can be located anywhere within China and they could be using the cheapest method of shipping to get to a SS.

>>6843728
Oh! Thank you. It said DHL shipping on Buychina was 3-7 days, so I thought it meant the item would get here in that time. Thanks for the breakdown!
>>6843743
Okay it just said it could ship to me in 3-7 days so I thought it meant it would get here by then.
Thank you so much for explaining!

>>6843764
Whenever a SS says a shipping method will be *time duration*, that means when they ship it from the SS to you.

Doesn't matter if it's buychina or any other SS. Hell, it doesn't even have to be about Taobao SS and just any SS in all parts of the world.

Buying directly from the source is a little different but they still have their own shipping and handling times to take into account.

>>6843792
Okay I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time.
Thanks anon!

>>6828103

What are those silver wings in the bottom left? Hair clips?

Nothing amazing but I'm just happy I can get my hands on the Mozrabic chant long jsks. They aren't doing custom sizing anymore but I guess they had leftovers from reservation period and the person backed out, so I took both. Also got the Alice Beardsley JSK and a figure I've liked for some time.

>>6838119
This just arrived today and holy goat curds is it beautiful. The entire set is more sage green than mint, really. At least, in slightly overcast light it is. This suits me fine, since I worried the mint might be too saturated for the rest of my wardrobe. Both pieces are finished with bias tapes and French seams instead of being surged, which surpised me.

Both pieces also have a tiny bit of stretch because of the fabric content (somehow, I thought nothing of the rayon and nylon listed). The details are just amazing in person. When I have more time, I'll take some detailed photos.

>>6844820
Looks like earrings.

>>6844928
Where is that jacket from?

>>6844953
It's a gillet + bolero from OzzOn Angelo -- the hourglass series:
http://www.ozzon-japan.com/2013ssonline/angelo/hour-glass.html

I really want to get the bustier and other jacket now. The quality is so nice.

>>6844954
Aaggh somehow I suspected it'd be Ozzon- almost everything they put out looks amazing. Great buy, can I ask how you ordered and what the costs came to (shipping etc? did you buy straight from them or use an SS?)

>>6844965
I used FromJapan. Let me check and I can tell you the exact fees. I used EMS, which I Remember was 3100yen.

>>6844968
thanks anon <3

>>6844965
>>6844968
Total JSK cost with fee and domestic shipping:
23,100yen

So 1300 in fees and domestic shipping.

>>6844939

Ohh, I see it now. Sorry, I'm half blind/half stupid, lol.

No photos because I'm on my phone.

Ring & bracelet from BtSSB
Coat from Bodyline
A belt, tights, horn hair clips and some flesh tunnels off eBay.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone in the US know whether USPS will attempt to redeliver an EMS shipment or hold it at the post office? I'm out of town until Tuesday, and they tried to deliver for the first time today. I'm worried that they'll try and return it to sender if I can't get it soon...

>>6848547
Go on USPS's site and put your tracking code number in the redelivery area. You can pick a different date to have it redelivered.

>>6848695
Done--thanks! I never knew you could do that.

I just bought these for Anime Expo because I can't cosplay well.

>>6848762
the skirt to me feel like someone just splattered bleach all over it.

It's a really old Metamorphose piece that I got from Yahoo Auctions. It's so old that it doesn't have an official name but I have seen it called the Crown Emblem JSK.

I always use FromJapan, they aren't 100% perfect but they're the best I've used and really convenient, good communication, awesome service, professional, fluent, etc. Prices are comparable to any other SS.
