/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

A letter from a penpal in Holland ;_;

Got my shipping notification yesterday!

>>7026580
Oh god that is so cute, I have a great need to own this figurine now.

>>7026580
lucky! who'd you buy from? or what site, I mean

-White wig (Adam Blade)
-Red suspenders (Freddie)

>>7026594
Should still be available on a number of sites. I know Amazon had the first release available with the extra faces (the crying one was one of the extras), which is best if you're in the US.

>>7026584
CD Japan! I'm in Australia, though. In the US, buying from Amazon is the best deal, apparently.

>>7026614
Sorry, those two responses should be flipped.

>>7026620
Fuuuuck forgot pic.

One of my dream prints~ Got it for a pretty good price since it doesn't have waist ties.

My Taobao order plus Vassen Ruby Reds from PinkyParadise. I wish they were here alreadyyyy, I need them for next week's con.

>>7026631
I don't think you ordered enough red things.

That bird necklace is sooo cute!

Tons of worbla and a replacement for my shitty heat gun that broke.

I got a shipping notification, but no tracking number. I've never bought from their new online shop though.

This dress from Dolly Dynamite.
Kind of regretting it after realising how overpriced it is. I could've started my lolita wardrobe with that money. It could've got me my first petticoat.

Not lolita or cosplay related, but I'm still very excited =)

>>7026756
That's really cute. I know that feel, though. My lolita wardrobe is seriously lacking because I can't stop buying etc. from Taobao.

>>7026756
>very simple dress
Dare I ask how much it cost?

>>7026779
$30 Anon, on "sale".

>>7026774
It really sucks, but hey, now I've learnt from my mistakes.

>>7026756
Is everything on this store from taobao?

finally got cut-out boots.. i'm so impatient tho lol

>>7026866
link?

>>7026785

Maybe I've been in Japan too long, but $30 is not expensive for a dress...

>>7026885
It isn't.
That dress looks like it should be $30, even at Walmart.

Anon is just being whiney.

>>7026876
http://swaychic.com/shoes/side-effect-creeper-boot.html#.UgW1spI3vzw
after tax & shipping it was more like $45 but they're based in california and most other cut-out boots i've seen are like $150+ so..

Posted this in general because I was excited, but AXES! Didn't mean to spend this much, but some of it was on sale...

>>7026897
oh i thought they were like the jeffrey cambell ones, but they aren't. Do you know the ones I'm talking about?

>>7026885
>>7026890
I'm the Anon, yeah I guess it's not bad, I'm just saying, regretting after buying then realising that $30 could've gone on something else I really wanted.
Sage for going off-topic, etc.

DMG CuPoche hopefully picked up tomorrow.
Canada Post's website is saying
>"Item on hold at postal facility to verify address of recipient"

They'd better not send it back or I swear to god. I've been waiting too long for her.

>>7026904
DAT PURSE

link?

I get my fashion inspiration from Japanese cartoons

>>7026921
>>7026580
I want that sailor moon! It says on Amazon though that it wont ship till October

>>7026890
>>7026885
it's expensive when that same dress can be bought for like $5 dollars on taobao.
sage for no contribution.

>>7026906
yeah, i got them because they were similar to the jeffrey campbell ones, but $140 cheaper..
are you talking about these? http://www.nastygal.com/Lookbooks-French-Dressing/Coltrane-Cutout-Boot/?gclid=CIz14OKA8rgCFSRyQgodzCYAcA

>>7026943
ah ok... I was going to surprise a friend... you wouldn't happen to live in CA and have a name (the name you use on FB) starting with an H, would you? I was pretty sure she didn't know /cgl/ existed but I could be wrong heh

I hoping for one more dress, but currently bidding and haven't won it yet. So it doesn't exactly count.

>>7026948
no haha. i'm in CA but my name starts with an L.

>>7026925

I KNOW.

http://shop.axesfemme.com/axesfemme-%E3%82%B4%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%81%8C%E3%81%BE%E3%81%90%E3%81%A1%EF%BC%A2%EF%BC%A1%EF%BC%A7/brandproduct/axesfemme/0/SC613X15/?cat=350&swrd=

The cat one sold out really fast, but luckily I wanted the brown flowery one anyway,

I'll know the outcome for bidding on the Rin, Len, and Meiko tomorrow. I can't wait until Japonica springs the shipping for all of those Nendoroids on me...

Depression retail therapy, my friends.

Still looking for lolita stuff even.

>>7026960
aw dang, what shopping service do you use, anon?

these are all waiting to be shipped or for confirmation!

I am so excited for all of this.

>>7027055
oh man, i've been eyeing that JSK. the bordeux is so lovely! and i hear you anon. i've been sick all week and i'm trying to cheer myself up with cute things.

Most is from Taobao and for myself. White wig is from Ebay and the Brothers Conflict book my friend is sending me from Japan.

The exception of Nagisa wig and cosplay because my friend is moving and found it safer just to ship her order to me Also the bottom right hand corner is more of soon to be mailed because I just put the order in.

>>7027069

Sorry, I live in Japan. I kind of want to do a SS for axes (because I love them) but I don't have a good way to sort out the money side of things.

>>7027140
Forever jelly of cat dress

>>7027186
did you miss the latest re-release? Like... last week?

>>7027187
I just can't afford to buy new things. I know they've re-released it a lot. (Plus I can't wear it anyway, because it doesn't work with my wardrobe. I just love looking at the dress.)

>>7027144
It is lovely! It might be more purple than bordeux, though. When I was invoiced, IW mentioned that I would definitely get the "purple dress."

I'll never know, it's not shipping till after the holiday week ahfakjdsfafa.

This skirt finally got shipped out from China... KL makes ythe most beautiful items but the extra long wait was atrocious.

>>7027771
the wait really makes me question if I ever want to buy something from here again.

Also the print is really pretty, but nothing it in screams Phantom of the Opera. I was thinking maybe a big chandelier, but nope. (it's still pretty, but I would've just called it something else)

>>7026935
The original listing I paid for said "between August and October", then changed to August 31st, then to August 10th. It should arrive tomorrow for me. I'll see if any of my friends in the states have received shipping notifications for theirs yet.

>>7027771
I saw someone in the JSK recently, so I guess they shipped the JSKs first?

>>7028718
Certain colourways shipped first. Apparently the blue colourway in particular had issues with the gold printing? I'm not really all that sure, as messages are mixed from different services.

>forever waiting for my AP reservation to arrive
Not for a ways off still...but..... muh feels...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZnfoqxPSDs

>>7026785
Before ordering stuff like that, I always always look on storeenvy or taobao first. They had that same dress in another reputable store for 18 bucks on sale.

If a shop has a dress, but it's only "one size," is it more likely to fit petite people?

>>7028743
Depends on the shop. I've ordered "one-size" dresses that fit me like a glove (and I'm petite), and others that fit like a potato sack.

>>7028743

Yes. Depends on the style of the dress (if it's floaty/baggy etc) but in general "one size" will be M-ish - so probably ~86cm bust / ~65cm waist. It varies, but that's my experience in Japan.

>>7028760
Is a medium in Japan/China/Korea, typically smaller than a medium in the states? Sorry if these questions are off topic!

>>7028882
Generally, yes. If they provide a sizing chart or measurements, be sure to read those.

My damn business cards!

Mega Milk size medium shirts went back in stock so I snatched one up.

>>7028907
Where do you buy these?!

>>7028907

I'd like to know too
I can only ever find the ones with the longer sleeves instead of short, and those they don't even make XS.

Gargoyles Season 2 Volume 2. I joined The Disney Movie club just to get my hands on this.

>>7028936
>>7028957
They're available at the fakku store but there's not a lot of sizes in stock atm.
https://store.fakku.net/shirts-apparel/MEGA-MILK-Shirt

>>7028963

Thanks majorlyyy

Waiting for this, a black skirt and some make-up remover.
Need it within 3 days, so it'll be fun to see if it gets here in time.

>>7028975
Source please?
Taobao finds posted sweaters similar to that, but they're sold out.

>>7028993
Got it from ebay - Just search for cat zipper shirt and it'll be there!
Warning though, these are replicas! I've already got one, and the inside of the shirt is pretty terrible looking and the fabric is very thin (which doesn't have to be a bad thing). It doesn't affect the overall look though, and it's very comfy to wear :>

I just bought my first jsk!

>>7029006
Ah, thank you very much! :)

>>7029036
Congratulations, anon!

Some oxfords (been wanting the black/white ones for awhile), socks to maybe wear with some mori type stuff, and cute earrings.

The one on the far right looks shit in stock photos, but so nice irl apparently so I took a chance.

>>7031250

Ahhh I wanna order a bunch of bodyline wigs too. I hear pretty good things about them. Post pics if you can!

>>7031278
Will do when they arrive!

AATP Merry Making In The Ghost Town corset skirt in navy.

Two wishlist dresses and some other/unpictured stuff, pending ebay.

Tights. Or pantyhose, whatever you call them.

I'm waiting on some extremely random stuff over here.... Plus a lot more boob accessories from where I started a group order, haha Gotta get ready for DragonCon, and my phone crapped out on me hence the iphone

I'm waiting on a lot of extremely random things over here...gotta get ready for DragonCon and I'm starting to hit panic mode

J et J dress, BTSSB blouse. Should be here within the week.

>>7030170
Ooh, where'd you get top right shoes from?

>>7031428
Malice Mizer love!

>>7028907
It cameeeee

>>7028907
It cameeee

>>7028907
Thank you for reminding me about this! Time to buy the one thing I've never been able buy before.

I JUST got these in the mail today and they're glorious. Now I don't know what to do first, I feel like a dog chasing cars who just caught one. So many lovely things! It also cements the idea that I NEED to get the first volume, which is going to cost the same amount as both of these did together, which Yesasia has for about 17.99 each when I bought them. It's like a month's wait, but for free shipping and at such a low price, is worth it for me.

>>7031250
I have the one on the far left, and it's pretty nice.

can't wait!

>>7032961
i bought both of those, too from yesasia. still waiting for them.

>>7032687
Tell me where you got it?

>>7033000
I ordered mine early July, took about a month. If it tells you Vol 2 is out of stock, wait the extra 5 days. I did and it actually WAS in stock. It's got a great amount of patterns in it.

>>7033009
Fakku.net

>>7032687
Waiting for this and the "RAVE" shirt from Catherine!
Thanks for the sauce on the Mega Milk shirt!!

If I wear it, though, I'd have to stuff majorly, given I have... Small tits.
>inb4 "why did you order it then"
I just find the comic to be funny as fuck. Long time fan of the ridiculousness.

>>7033045
>Fakku
muh niggra

Yessss. Newshit. This is the week of mail. And the rest of the month will be dead.

Just arrived:
Moitie dress
Meta bustier and skirt set
Etude House and Tonymoly make up
New camera body

In the mail/on the way:
Meta bustier, 3way bag and wallet
Dark Box Magie Astres dress
Krad Lanrete Phantom of the Opera OP
Krad Lanrete Mozarabic Chant skirt
Sailor Moon figure

>>7032687
I want that shirt. Mega Milk made me realize I have a thing for SPH, though real-life SPH isn't nearly as fun. I like how the sister teases her little brother but isn't too mean, but real life guys want you to emotionally scar them. Anyway, I've never read anything else that turned me on more. That's all for today's edition of Random 4-chan TMI.

>>7031512
Got them from www.jcpenney.com. It keeps marking my post as spam when I try to post a direct link, so just put this in their site search and they'll come up:
Studio Paolo Winter Lace-Up Oxford Shoes

>>7033511
what MMM dress are you getting?

>>7033543
Small Penis Humilation?

>>7033725
Yep. I realized after I posted that a lot of people probably wouldn't be familiar with the acronym.

>>7033651
It's one of their floral-y rose prints in blue. Dunno the name.

>>7033894
picture?

>>7033917
I don't have one right now, but I'll try to take one tomorrow.

Dream dress obtained! I stayed up for the melty royal choco release despite not being totally in love with the new release and they had one in stock of last years release! Im so in love with it, so glad I skipped out on settling for the round JSK and got just the bag and headbow from a sale, finally have a complete set!

>>7036533
Also, I got a plate?? Does AP usually send freebies other than stickers?? Ive never bought directly from AP before so, I wouldn't know. I was surprised. Its cute though!
Sorry for no proper coord I just felt the need to instantly put it on the moment I had it in hand haha

>>7033938
This?

>>7036676
Similar in design/cut, but white on blue, stylised rather than realistic. The name I found is the Overture OP.

>>7036533
>>7036543
Congrats anon! I think I remember you gushing over it.

I also got a plate too, apparently they were having a "Chocolate Plate Fair". This makes my first purchase (and a dream dress too) absolutely perfect.

>>7036763
*first purchase from AP

>>7036543
Just a guess based on shape but I think it might actually be an ashtray? I've seen ashtrays given out as Japanese novelties before though it'd be weird for a lolita company I guess...

Tracking hasn't updated in a week and if it doesn't update by tomorrow i will lose all hope in the world.

>still gonna name it Armin

Just got these socks!

Im expecting fantastic dolly OP for my birthday, two AP headbows, and hopefully an AP salopette if I win it.

>>7036848
That's way too big to be an ashtray.

My shopping service hasn't even recieved it yet and it has been 8 days come come now. I'm being an impatient shit, but Idk I'm really excited for socks.

>>7031380
link to that wig please?

>>7036543
>>7036848
What the fuck? It's a desert plate. For ice cream and pastries.

>>7036875
That's so goddamn kawaii. Good luck on the salopette!

>>7036890
Link to sheer socks?

>>7036763
Yes, I was gushing about it in the thread aha, I was so shocked and happy!

>>7036848
Definitely not an ashtray, too long. Besides, why would AP give out ashtrays???

>>7037003
This makes sense.

>>7036848
>>7036880
>>7037003

No to all of you. It's not for your butts, ice cream, or pastries. It's supposed to be for fancy/kawaii chocolates.

>>7036749
>Overture OP.

>>7037098
That's the one.

>>7037038
Thanks and thanks!

>>7036533
I got the last year skirt and I'm happy since it was the style I preferred more. I honestly expected it to be the new release

I'm waiting for:

A Sasa order full of Shills cosmetics.
Vampire Requiem in Lavender, but I need to pay the remainder of my payment plan first.
Infanta military dress, 3 blouses (I actually need to send them an email about this cause it's been over a month and none of my things have arrived in their warehouse yet, despite that the Infanta dress is in stock, that's not normal, right?)

>>7032961

I have all 3, and they are indeed glorious.
The first issue, I ordered off Amazon.jp with a SS as I also bought 7 Gosu Rori mags as well.
This worked out much cheaper for me than ebay.
Now I only need 3 more Gosu Rori's to complete my collection.
I also got the other 2 Otome no Sewing issues from Yesasia.

>>7033511

Hnnng that is one awesome list Anon.

>>7037629
Just fyi you can order off honto.jp at shelf price and they offer SAL. I think they still remove the tax too.

>>7037642

Thanks, I'll check them out.

>>7036533
Congrats anon! I got the ivory one last year. It's one of my favourite jsks. You look great.

>>7036984
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0064VO9M4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered my first kigurumi (pic very related, it's a seal) and I'm super excited for it to arrive, but I'm also nervous in case I don't like how it feels. I've heard they're comfy and warm though, so I'm hoping for the best. I'm also hoping to start expanding my wardrobe from just jeans and t-shirts and hoodies so I love seeing what everyone else is getting.

Not cosplay or lolita related, but I am excited.
All Saints for cheap.

Just bought these!

>>7038505
Where did you get that necklace?

Bought pic related, hoping it isn't weird-looking when it arrives!

>>7039127
Also bought these circle lenses from Pinky Paradise. Not too sure about what the blue one looks like on eyes because I couldn't really find refs, but eh! Worth a shot.

>>7038446

I pretty much lived in mine when I first got it.

Current order.

>>7039244
Also just got this today and it is wonderful.

>>7039145
I had those blue ones! They expired like two months ago and I didn't took any pics with them on or I'd have show you anon. Anyways they look natural and blended well with my natural eye color (Hazel)

Got this from taobao the other day, do you think it looks normal enough to actually wear it casually and not just for cosplay?

>>7039244
Link to hello kitty plush?

>>7039281
I got it off ebay but if you search "hello kitty dolphin" several come up.

>>7039274
I'd say so.

>>7039274
I would wear it, but I also wear lolita to classes and whatnot.

>>7039253
That's really cute.

>>7038446

Same here!

>>7038505
Where did you get the sailor jacket from?

I hope the wig is nice, i usually dont trust "cheap fashion wigs" but my friend convinced me to give them a try. (At least its not for cosplay so if it turns out crappy it doesn't matter)

>>7038505
sauce on skirt, popcorn bucket shirt, and sailor jacket please

>>7039290
Thanks anon

>>7039557
The wig came! Its better quality than i thought it would be for only 11$ The only flaw so far is that its a tab shiny for my taste but some powder should fix that up.

I just got one of my dream dresses in the mail today. As much as I love it, I'm kind of sad. It had nothing to do with the print, cut, wear, or stains. It's me. This is the first AP dress I got without shirring or corset ties, and its too big. The waist and bust are loose. It doesn't look too bad, but, man, I'm so jelly of the average-girl perfect fit.

Pic related but will probably show upside down because I'm on my phone.

>>7041277
aw it does look a little big at the waist. the dress is still super cute though!

>>7026952
The bonnet is gorgeous, source?

Clannad uniform patch! I was going to order a botan plush too but I think they must have stopped making them, they're all sold out or listed for $80+. Just have to make my own for Kyou

>>7041277
That's ultra cute
but yeah its kinda big in places
Take it to a tailor.

Ordered some cute H&M lingerie that arrived today. Currently only waiting for this, bought off the comm sales.

Got a bodyline bolero coming in from the sales comm (since customs now hits any orders straight from bodyline) and some blouses from taobao. I'm excited, really!

>>7041277
I'm so jelly of that dress and of the fact that you're too small for it. Unshirred brand is almost always a little too tight for me.

I bought GLW's babydoll wig in creme de la creme, and I was pleasantly surprised by the color. I had been a little worried that it would be super chunky as it was in the stock photo, but it's blended really nicely.
However, I'm not super happy with the quality. It was a little frizzy/frazzled when I took it out, and by the time I combed through it and trimmed the bangs, there were fly-aways galore.

Soon

>>7041381
pic because bored

>>7041467
forgot pic
I also got this cute makeup bag.

>>7041310
The bust is like, super empty ;_;

>>7041348
Should I? I'm afraid of messing it up. I have the intention of keeping this dress since it is a dream piece, but. ..I dont know. ..

>>7041415
Don't be jealous ;_; squeezing into it might actually look better than all the extra space I have in there.

>>7039266
Thanks a bunch, anon! I naturally have light blue eyes so I'm guessing they'll blend even better with mine, which is exciting.

Got 2 of these puppies for a friend and I. Gonna use them for Hikaru and Kaoru, and I promise that they won't be shitty...!

Waiting for these beauties in the mail.

Super bummed though, because of emergency vet bills I am going to have to sell one of the sets, probably honey cake if the hospital fees keep adding up.

>>7041953
how much did you drop on the honey cake set?

>>7041953

I dropped $350 on the set and bought the bag separately for $175....hence why in my state of financial need I am considering selling it.

In the middle of the TB order, the SS is still buying the items but I hope everything turns out OK!!

>>7041469
sauce on the bra/panties set?

>>7042028
Source on the ties at the bottom right?

>>7041426

Are you the anon that was trying to find that on taobao?

>>7042033
H&M online store

Girls, how many dollars a month would you say you usually spend on clothing? I always thought I spent a lot on it (about $200 monthly) but after seeing this thread I'm starting to doubt that.

>>7043098

Waaaaaaaaay too much anon....

>>7043098
It depends. I'm a student so I've hardly any funds, but I'm going to be working a lot more this year, so I plan to spend about $150/month (saving $200/month) on average, as I'll likely save up in case there is a good release or one of my dream dresses comes up for sale.
I am also bad in that I usually go on a small shopping binge at the beginning of fall classes.

>>7042028
i need a source to those cute black buckled socks please

>>7043098
it's hard to say because I usually resell before I buy anything. maybe 150-200 a month? I need to cut back really bad though

>>7043098
Art graduate here!
Maybe about £10 or less most months on silly little things from ebay or accessories, and then £15-40 every third or fourth month?
I thought I had a problem, but it seems pitiful in relation to you lot.

>>7043098

Usually anywhere from 100 to 300 euro's a month.

kind of regretting bidding on that second dress, bought it on whim thinking "ooh, wine, i love wine red!" but forgot the largely dusty palette and that im a deep winter. we'll see how it goes when it arrives hey

>>7043098
$100-150 but this month is tax returns!

>>7027055
Japonica must also fucking hate me, they're still holding everything from the second row down in the old collage. Necklaces are from Etsy below.

And hoooooooly shit. Fuck you AP for telling me this couldn't be done.

Dream dress was through an excellent Closet Child SS and the AP skirts hollllly shit. One I'm holding for a friend and I'm bidding on another one for myself. It's our dream skirt soooooo GURL IF YOU SEE THIS OUR DREAMS ARE COMING TRUUUUUUE.

No more orders after this, I've had my fill of knocking stuff off the dream list. So fucking excited for when my Japonica orders arrive holy shiiiiit.

>>7043371
Derp.

Getting it in navy. :')

>>7039422
I have one and I just wanna know: what is the zipper on the back for exactly?

>>7043387
Rilakkuma has a zipper on his back on the design of the character.

>>7043373
You got that dress?! Congrats! I'm so jealous!

Finally got around to taking my own photo of it. The stock photos for Moitie do not do their pieces justice. At all.

>>7044139
Its gorgeous, wow! Im jelly.

IW finally shipped my sale order items today. Got this skirt and a pair of socks for another outfit.

>>7048476
Hey cool I just got my shipping notice too! Exactly one month after placing my order, hahah. It'll be worth the wait though, I love IW. That's a lovely skirt you got, btw.

>>7048499
Mine was almost dead on one month past, too. I'm so excited, though. The corset bit is detachable, so I'm looking forward to wearing it with other things already.

>>7041331
I got it from Haenuli with the skirt order

>>7043203
Yay, the white one arrived today!
One thing I should have mentioned was ordering this was a little gamble. Not only did I get this for a too-good-to-be-true grand total of $36 shipped, but I ordered this from a seller on Aliexpress. (tfw cbf with anxiety of mass taobao ordering). I'm pleased as heck with it, so looks like I won :D Very nice and full n fully lined even, plus the lace fabric wasn't as scratchy granny curtainy as I thought it would be - on closer inspection it's knitted/crocheted and really soft.

I finally got my boleros!!!

Can't even wait.

I'm freaking out. I sold something via eBay and could tell right away this person would be a hassle with their

"u better send my package out tomorro!!!!" emails.

Turns out USPS delivered the package to a completely different state! I got another email from him/her claiming I sent it to the wrong address ( even though I sent proof pictures that I took just in case ). I have absolutely no money and no job and was an idiot for not insuring the package. I already spent the money right away on food and will have a negative balance now. I cannot afford a phone to call USPS, I don't have a car to drive to the post office and I'm losing my home any week now. I'm sorry for going on a tangent, but this stress man. This stress.

Have any of you had a similar situation with USPS sending packages to completely different states?

>>7051157
wait did you address it wrong? or USPS? They really usually don't just send it to the wrong address, I have seen where they put it on the wrong car and it ends up being redirected at the next stop. But having a package full addressed correctly and it still ending up in the wrong place delivered....what?

>>7051222
I put the correct address on the package. It was suppose to go to California, but ended up being delivered in Texas. I took pictures of the inside/outside of the package before delivering, just because I could tell this customer would be a problem with their constant emails ( pictures for if they say I sent them nothing/the wrong stuff, etc ). That's why I'm freaking out so much. I've never had anything like this happen before.

>>7051157
You "can't afford a phone call"?
How the hell are you on the internet, then?

>>7051157
Ugh, some people on eBay are just plain terrible. Did you print the label through eBay? It'll automatically use the buyer's address listed on Paypal, if I'm not mistaken.
If you shipped to an address other than what was listen on their Paypal, then you lose your seller protection and even they can't help you.
It's not exactly a normal thing to have USPS ship to an entirely different state, though.

>>7051260
that is really really REALLY odd... if anything the person that gets the package delivered to the door will send it back. It will take a week or two to get to you. Also how did you ship it? If you send it priority it automatically comes with 50 dollars of insurance.

>>7051157
You know you can make phone calls through skype right?

>>7042017
I'm interested in the bag if you do decide to sell.

>>7051157
Google allows you to call people through your email account for free.

>>7051261
Dad still pays for the internet/electricity/water, but stopped paying the mortgage and cable a long time ago. Long story short, he used to live here, but was forced out by police.

>>7051262
I didn't, I wrote down the address. I KNOW I put down the right address. Picture related, excuse the terrible handwriting.

>>7051395
>>7051313
I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank you, ladies!

I don't have the receipt, since I'm a professional at losing everything. I fear I might have thrown it away by accident. Is it possible to just prove shipment from the tracking number? I'm just picking out desperate cards here.

>>7051774
are you sure that's your tracking code? Maybe you typed it in wrong, because that handwriting is really clear and they have many different points where the address is checked.

>>7051809
Perhaps the tracking code went wonky, or I did receive the wrong one. Seeing how it made it from New Hampshire to Texas in less than 24 hours and I definitely did not use 1 or 2 day shipping.

waiting on this stuff. My iPod isn't shipped yet, which is gonna drive me crazy since I can't stand walking to class without music. My order finally got shipped, but I chose budget courier and it was just shipped in the past day(ish), so the info isn't even online yet.

>>7037063
Sorry! I juuust noticed this! the sheer socks are from this shop
>http://shop102379779.taobao.com/index.htm?spm=2013.1.w5002-2016071255.2.8OjxCf

>>7051894
Is that where your tracking ends..? Because if so, it hasn't been delivered, only processed in Texas (which, if going from east coast to west coast, that's not much of a surprise for it to stop in Texas on the way).

>>7051928
No, unfortunately it says its been delivered.

not super related but

this isn't my taobao order; i'm still trying to trim that down before i send it to taobaonow. i just have so many pieces i need it's hard...

anyway, as you can see, i have a bight of a tights problem. no regrets. i'm also looking into haruka's jacket from the ed, too. (i'm not a cosplayer, though -- i'm just here for the clothes. even if his ed colorscheme is something of a trainwreck.)

>>7052393
>bit of a

how did i

I ordered on the 6th so I expect these will ship out shortly since I guess I'm part of the first batch? Baroque's shipping system is pretty confusing, haven't seen any notifications though.

>>7032968
Anon, did you receive the green dress yet? I'm curious what it really looks like...

I'm waiting on first order but... its been stuck with the same message for three(today's the forth) days now, is this normal?

>>7053023
The 17th was a Saturday so if we assume Saturday and Sunday to be holidays, then it's more like a two day wait.

>>7039274
could you post pics if you do order it? i'm thinking of getting it for casual wear myself but the way they did the collar bothers me (it looks like they sewed the pink fabric over the bottom of the standup collar rather than just sewing them together or... doing something that would look less weird)

>>7053023
That's normal. EMS gets updated once it arrived at your customs.

Just ordered this all from eBay...I've been on a bit of a floral kick lately. Anyone have any of these items so they can comment on?

>>7055708
Link to boots? I've seen them on taobao but figured shipping them wouldn't be worth it.

>>7055708
link to the verum replica tights?

>>7055719
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111145636261

This was the cheapest I could find at $40, which I figured is a pretty fair price and not much more than what I'd pay through Taobao.

>>7055727
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111135084744

That seller has a great variety of those tattoo tights + more verum replica tights to check out, too. $8 was the cheapest I could find for them.

>Pic related, buying these next time around from that sellar

>>7055708
Where's that purse from? So cute!

>>7052393
You can get most of those tights for like $3 on eBay, same with the glasses.

>>7056585
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271245648484
Here you go! This was the cheapest I could find it, as well. The colors are all adorable & would work great for lots of fashions.

Does anyone know where I can get flat, white, over-the-knee boots that lace-up?

>>7057296
Your best bet is to get converses and maybe modify them...I was doing Nyotalia Prussia a while back and I searched high and low for proper boots...couldn't find them :/ so I went with ones with buttons on the side instead. But I've only ever seen that style of shoe in black. They do sell white knee high converse-style boots, though.

>>7057305
Thanks!
I thought of that but I could only find them up to the knee, and I need them over the knee. Guess I'll have to make modifications or something...

>>7057327
You can look for thigh high converse... refuse to be usual on eBay used to have them

>>7057328
I found them! They only have them in black, but I'm going to try to look harder or I'll just end up painting them or something,

Thanks!

Just got these items in the mail! (got tired of waiting for taobao group order to get to SS)

Bought this a few months ago and I just snagged another one, which I'm giving to a friend for for birthday and we're gonna twin the shit outta it

Kick me if I'm wrong, but this is a pretty good deal, right?

>>7060731
I don't recognize the dress with the small pic and no glasses.

>>7060732
AatP Gathered Chiffon

>>7060732
AatP Gathered Chiffon Frill. Unfortunately I can't tell if it's a good deal or not. It's been a while since I've browsed the auctions.

>>7060469
That sounds fucking amazing.

>>7060731
>>7060743
Gathered Chiffon is always very popular, so way under 200$ is pretty good. Congrats.

>>7060731
It's weird how much a style and brand can influence a dress' value to me. AatP isn't one of my favorites and that dress is really plain other than the frill, so I wouldn't pay more than $150 for it.
Then again, I'm used to finding super cheap non-print Baby and AP.

>>7052408
That deep cherry red is gorgeous... definitely getting a pair. Never ordered from Baroque though, could never find their web shop, not that I ever felt reason until now to look too hard though.

>>7060763
I usually look for cheaper things, too (my last two dress purchases were under 100), but thing one this one grew on me slowly, somehow.

>>7060770
They have a webshop but you don't order from that specifically. If you go to their facebook page they have a link to the lj sales post. Then you fill out a form and send it to the email they listed, then you pay with paypal.

Just warning you that international shipping to the US was $30 for me. I ordered on the 6th but I still have no word about whether the item shipped or not...they said they were going to by order on the 16th.

>>7057505
What skirt is the first one?

I think this is the last of my haul. Two AatP dresses, one Moitie, and a Chantilly headbow. The shoes just got to me today, but I think I'll have to exchange the heels for a half size up, because even though they're the same brand, they managed to be smaller than the other pair?

>>7065131
Looks like Krad Lanrete's Phantom of the Opera?

>>7048623
Is that a JetJ skirt? I can't keep up with their dozens of painting series.

Ahuahahahahuahua

(Actually I need them for casting. Found out my skin reacts strongly to one of the components of Smooth Cast 65D and I love working with it but am superclumsy so I figured I need my arms to be fully covered to not end up with an annoying itchy rash... like... they have now. fml)

Can't wait for all of it to arrive

>>7069439
did you order from yesasia? They didn't have the second volume in stock when I ordered...

>>7069448
Yeah I order from yesasia about a week ago, it seems like the product page is still up.

>>7069459
Ordered jesus fuck I cannot into spelling today

>>7069327
Yep, its JetJ. It's chiffon and the colors are GORGEOUS (my friend has it).

I have spent waaaaaay too much money this month... I can't help it when I see stuff pop up on second hand stores for amazing prices.

Just this that I finally managed to hunt down on ebay, maybe a couple other ebay blouses/tights soon...

>>7069354
Oh man I LOVE that jsk. Do you happen to know the actual name of it? I have a photo of it saved but didn't know the name.

>>7069950
Ah were you the person who snagged those on cc/furu...? They were fantastic prices

>>7070003
Millefleurs doesn't really name their JSKs, if anything it'll be called something like "Rose Lace Velvet JSK" which is what tokyoalice called it when they had it up for sale.

I'm actually waiting on electric fence wire, bolt cutters, and some pliers so I can start making my own chainmail.

Eventually I'd like to get into making scalemail, maybe some lamellar, and eventually full plate.

>>7070035

Yep, that was me.

I couldn't believe how low they were! My wallet screamed in agony but I told it to stfu and I bought them anyway.

Ended up setting 3 of the re-release swimmer bag, 2 handbags in pink and brown, sidebag in pink. Can't wait!

Got this in the mail today. It even smells like chocolate!

>>7070721
wait, they rereleased the biscuit bag?
how did i miss this?

>>7070817
That is cute! Where is that from?

>>7070890
It's by deccac, but I found it through Amazon.
>http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Candy-Scented-Handbag-inches/dp/B007D5L82Y

The color looks more like the second picture at this link

>>7052408
I got these in Gold and White! I emailed her and she said that she's going to ship them on the 5th when she gets back from her trip.

i got kinda sad my first week of college and here we are
everything was p cheap but i usually never ever ever buy new things

Some cheap jewellery and socks for coording, a taobao blouse, bodyline cardigan, Peacewalker psp skin and JOJO ALL STAR BATTLE

>>7070721
Oli?

This wig for my Queen Ashe cosplay!

>>7069950
What's the name of the print of the skirt?

>>7051910
oh god that bag is cute. might you have a link for it, anon?

>>7071465

It's official name is 'La Grande Bouffe', but you can find it on lolibrary under 'The Last Supper Skirt'.

>>7070857
Yeah they re-released it with 2 new colours. Dark brown and pink~ (and at the 2000 yen mark they're a steal)

I don't think I've bought this much non-taobao stuff at once ever...

Bodyline stuff is for junky clothes that maid dress is too cute to pass up.

Still waiting on my items to ship from the IW sale...and then decided I needed a "holiday" dress that wasn't Christmas-y.

Then I finally decided to take the plunge into button making. I can't wait. It looks really fun!

>>7074094
My friend and I were ermergerrrring over that sailor maid dress! It's probably too short to be sailor-lolita though, but it's so damn cute!

>>7074094
seconding the love for the sailor maid dress! would you mind posting photos when it arrives? i was thinking of ordering it in navy myself.

>>7074094
>>7074104
>>7074121
Thirding.
Since it's too short for lolita, what would be a good way to wear this out as everyday clothes without making it look like the costume that it is? Besides nixing the apron. I would definitely get this if I knew what to where it with.

>>7074129
>*wear
Whoops.

>>7074104
>>7074121
>>7074129

Sure. I'm really hoping it's not going to be super short. From the picture it looks to me like it's meta/ap short, which I could swing since I'm a shorty.

For casual days, I was just going to wear it minus the apron, headband, and bowtie with a red patent belt and some red wingtips, or with a white belt and some navy/white brogues. If it's not too short for lolita, I was going to wear it with the bowtie, my navy/white sailor beret, some navy/white striped socks, and navy tea parties. Or I'd wear it with those red bordello boots, white tights, a red bowler, and a red velvet bow belt.

>>7074094
This is a super dumb wisdom, but where are wrist cuffs on Bodyline's site?

Waiting for vol 2 and 3 of these, shipping time was stated at 6-14.... it's been about two weeks since they were shipped and I have yet to receive them.

>>7043203
Same person here, the velveteen JSK, white OP, shoes and necklace arrived, yay!
Very pleased with the turn out of that OP - I took a wager with myself to see what would happen if I ordered a dress for $30 shipped on aliexpress... I'm impressed.

Anyway, new things I'm also waiting for.
I'm most excited for that bow with the detachable gold AP plate.. I dunno why it just fascinates me haha. Also inspired by the lolita room designs thread I've started by getting some false rose vines...

Excited!

>>7043098
My Lolita clothing budget is ~$75/mo. If I go over that, I'll just count the next month's towards it and not spend anything then.

>>7043098
Geez, I thought I had stuff under control, but I guess this month is going to go over 400 after shipping.

bought a bunch of cute stuff ive been eyeing for fall with my paycheck.I love ebay and labor day sales. although i mightve over spent since I have bills to pay next week.

>>7028724
It definitely did, they also messaged my SS to say they'd "run out" of blue x gold in size S and did I want to swap to another colour....I said no, since my style has changed significantly in the last 6 months of waiting for it, but still haven't got the fucking refund from them.

>>7041545
Take it to a good tailor, someone who other people have used for alterations and trust. You could also consider installing corset loops on the back yourself, but that can be cumbersome.

>>7043098
Anywhere between $50 and $1000. As a percentage of my disposable income it isn't too high, since every week after bills, rent, petrol and food I have about $400 left over. Not spending a whole lot right now though since I've got two huge overseas trips planned in the next 6 months.

>>7052472
I've ordered from Boguta before and that looks like the same high waisted skirt I got. Their construction is pretty true to pictures, but they use very light fabric and don't line or interface their skirts so the waist has a tendency to wrinkle if you so much as breathe. I remember their colours being a bit off as well.

>>7069191
Where are the boots on the right from?

>>7074886
If it's 6-14 working days that could be up to 3 weeks...

>>7075650
Boots are Modcloth.

>>7051910
link me them socks

>>7075590
wow! source on the cat skirt and mint bag?

>>7074825
Not super dumb at all. Bodyline hides them unlabeled in that UX black hole that they like to call a website. You can find them on pages 1-5 scattered about.
bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showType2.asp?type=Lol&pageNumber=1

>>7065131
Yep Krad Lanrete Phantom of the Opera. The other day when we were explaining lolita again, we realized that none of us were eearing any brand from Japan. Made in China, Poland, and USA...

>>7075655
Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of things that a lot of people have, but I do love [most of] the Chive community, and I like the KCCO design.

>>7075650
>>7075655
You can probably get them cheaper from DSW still (search dolce mojo moxy)

>>7075668
