/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

dat kobito. i want it.

is it me or the links from OP are all the same?

I have a question. Are Hello Kitty or Rilakkuma considered as brand so items featuring them will be seized by customs?

>>7051048
It's one of the 4chan extensions causing that. I can't remember which one, though. If you're using any, try turning them off to view the thread.

A+ OP image

I'm glad Mr. Japanese Farting Peach is here with us.
Now, question about shoes: I'm looking for some brogues/oxfords for general wear. However, whenever I use google translate (no chinese wiki page on either of them) I hardly get any actual brogues (at least in the women's section) even when I specify leather and fake leather. Everything seems to be suede and like slipper/slip ons?

Anyone bought brogues/have a recommendation for terms/stores?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but, it's related to a taobao shop so I figure sure?
A girl in EGL_comm_sales is selling the Rose Melody Musical Note JSK and matching headband for $185. She's the second owner of the set, and the brand new set together (w/o shipping) is $142 and change. Am I insane or is she asking way too much for this?

>>7051080
Straight off the taobao shop (my price was Clobba before) I got that it's about $111 dollars. Thought I'd add that.

glad everyone approves of peach fart king

>>7050972
not sure if serious, but have at it all the same

>>7050503
>chocolate bar pattern
I'm not totally sure if it exists that much outside of lolita, anon. it's difficult to search for just a chocolate pattern in general; it works better if you're looking for something specific (there are a few more mature/subtle chocolate-patterned wallets, for instance - 巧克力钱包). clothes-wise I haven't seen much outside of brand replicas

>>7050762
>anime eyes shirt
this is the best I could find, for some reason only this version exists, and it's in t-shirt form. original may have been by zipper? (no luck searching for zipper+eyes, zipper+crying, zipper+anime, etc)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?&id=18469484776

>>7051080
To me that sounds like a ripoff, especially for third hand indie. Prices are supposed to go down the more hands the dress passes through, not up.

>>7051072
>had to google the difference between brogues and oxfords
so assuming I'm identifying them correctly, you can try searching 牛津鞋 or 牛津鞋雕花, translate the page to english, and specify material as leather/PU

>>7051080
I don't dabble in comm sales at all but that kind of asking price made me raise an eyebrow too, anon

>>7051085
im 100% serious, my mom loves kobito and i think theyre terrifying yet hilarious. thanks for the translation!

>>7051095
That's my thought, too. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy.

>>7051096
I've never bought from the comm sales but it's my girl's dream dress and I wanted to make sure. I'd rather order it brand new.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts.

Just passing through but what the fuck is that in the OP pic

When I set the shipping destination to overseas, the price jumps to 999 yuans, ETA 30 days.

Since they didn't asked the for the country nor the shipping method, does that just mean they don't propose it of that I need to contact them ?

>>7051096
wow, that worked great. maybe because I was just using oxfords/brogues instead of "oxford/brogue shoes."

thank you!

What's with the sizing on these shoes? I'm a 22.5 (which is usually a 37) but this is saying I'd be a 35?

kobito zukan! (or dukan) AKA the best thing ever.

I'm looking for little presents for friends.
Cute, cool, quirky, nail stuff and those tunnel earrings (not made of metal).
If you have some cool stores bookmarked, please share with me!

>>7051671
nail stuff

>>7051698

Thanks!

>>7051085
Thanks so much for the garrison badges! You are awesome!

Bento's and accessories, where do I look?
I searched bento in Chinese but didn't really turn up that much.

>>7051080
I was reading that and raised an eyebrow too. Since it was custom made there was probably a fee for it, but there is no way she paid more than that for it.

>>7051741
I don't have the terms list on me atm, but petrovna updated the dictionary doc recently and I included that in the list I sent her. it should be in the house stuff section

Can anybody help me find the tag for last exile cosplay? Specifically Dio. I've checked the dictionary, tried the japanese and english names to use for tag hopping, and tried google translating the very sparse results (found a dio wig) to find good terms to use. Still, barely any success,

Is there a shop that sells antler headbands or a search term?

anyone know a term to use for underwater patterns like pic related?

>>7051671
gauges/tunnel earrings
http://rockboil.taobao.com/
http://sujiehui.taobao.com/
and the search term is 耳扩

>>7052051
you've done everything right, anon. it's a possibility that not a lot of it just doesn't exist, and that's that, unfortunately

>>7052264
these are the closest I've found
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18371410324
searching specifically antlers turns up mostly plush reindeer headbands you'd wear during christmas; searching horn antlers (发箍角) gets you more results (including the "you tried" headband I linked above), but it doesn't seem to be that popular an item

>>7052329
that's going to be pretty difficult to find, because the search term for water will turn up everything (watercolor style, the color blue, idk), whereas underwater pulled up 20 results, and "water pattern" or a variation of it will probably be too specific to appear in any of the tags shops might use in their item name.

>>7052329
It would be cool if I could have one that was animated like water, and when you put your hand through it, it felt like water (like what they have on those Microsoft Surface Tabletops, or whatever they're called.)

This is the last time I'm using Bhiner for a large order. Last time, they left out three items (a dress, a vest and a belt). This time, they left out my goddamn Krad Phantom of the Opera OP that I've been waiting MONTHS for and a couple of notebooks. In the process of writing a polite email, asking them to send the missing items, before I actually get pissed.

>>7053669
Oh my god I'm so incredibly sorry Anon! I really hope you get this sorted, I'd be a giant mess right now if an SS did that to me.

Oh, and does anyone have a good shop for loliable chiffon blouses in jewel tones? My computer crashed and I lost all my bookmarks.

>>7050963
I havent ordered from taobao in like a year and im thinking of getting some antaina shoes and lingerie.

What SS has everyone generally been using lately? No, I'm not asking for the "best" service so don't tell me to read the OP/sticky. I'm just asking about who is generally responding quickly and is trusted and tl;dr who "everyone and their mom" is using.

Is there a search term for 80's looking stuff? I feel like fairy-kei is too pastel and cutesy, I want more general 80s things.

>>7053908
I like to mix it up. Last SS I used was Pruany. Very satisfied with their service, though some reviews I've read say they occasionally get wrong colors, so keep that in mind. I had a very large order with no issues, though.
I know a few people who use Taobaonow, although when I used them, they were a lot slower to respond than Pruany.

Also, you can order from Antaina directly, without a SS.

>>7053908
From these threads TBR has been spotty with communication, some people have great luck, others can't get the to respond to emails. Bhiner has been having troubles with preorders and the like.

I've been using TBS all summer and they've been fine for me.

Are there any shops that sell journals like this? The ones in the picture would be perfect if they didn't say "magic book," but they're the only ones I've been able to find since I don't really know the tag for this sort of thing. Thanks!

>>7053908
I've heard good things from TaobaoTrend lately.

>>7052329
Just somewhat relevant, it's relatively easy to dye things with an underwater pattern using by tye-dyeing a a light blue thing darker blue.

>>7053923
Something like this? The shop has a few other similar designs.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w28-18464758893.11.nDLojP&id=14720707757

>>7053923

yeah barnes and nobles has them, no logos, really nice designs, some even have magnetic clasps

>>7053913
seconded please ah

>>7053675
Seconding this request, I have all the white/black/pastel chiffon blouses I need, but no deeper colors.

Term for Dangan Ronpa?

>>7054460
It's in the dictionary, check there.

>>7053923
>>7053942

They sell for mad cheap on taobao though. The search term is "日记" if you want more.

>>7053908

Haven't gotten my fucking dark box dress. Last time I heard from Sydney they said they'd be done in five days. I have no reason to not believe her but I stalk the Chinese lolita forums as well and I've seen reviews pop up already. Argh.

Sage for madasfuck rant.

>>7054464
I tried the dictionary, it isn't there.

>>7054481
Use Wikipedia translate

>>7054493
It shows like... 75 itens?

>>7054481
It's under series, ctrl+f to find it.

>>7054545
I swear to you that I ctrl+f dangan ronpa e nothing showed up, but going under series indeed it's there. What the fuck dictionary, are you kidding me...

>>7054552
Something got fucked somewhere I suppose. It's working fine for me though, so it must be on your end.

That moment when you lose 30 bookmarks of Taobao stuff

Feels like I had a miscarriage

Are there any shops similar to autumn moon? (Less cute but more elegant, looks good on slightly more busty people etc)

>>7054567
I hate pinterest, but it's great for not losing taobao bookmarks.

small order, I just wanted some sweaters and I don't even..
I guess this will weight like 3kilos? I added like 20 washi tape and those chocolate mold might be heavy...

noob question
梅花鹿 with what combo will help me find fawn fur accessories since just searching that term gets me deer meat? And when I add 配件饰品 I just get brooches.

>>7054821

damn another thing I didn't think of when I went shopping. So what characters did you use to search for washi tape?

>>7054934
what is it that you're looking for? the search term for fur collars is on petrovna's dictionary already, but searching for fawn fur patterned stuff is difficult because of their stupid tagging system. usually I have to find stuff through a very roundabout way

>>7053913
>>7053967
I'm really bad with decades fashion, so I... tried, apologies if I'm way off. I'm always better at finding things when you tell me specifically what you want rather than general styles

Can someone please tell me what's the difference between

I want to buy the galaxy sailor suit and i've never bought from taobao before. I know the basics like how to buy and stuff but has anybody ever bought this before? How expensive was the shipping for you?

>>7055141
I saw somebody wearing it at a recent con and it looked really good in person.

>>7054476
Mine has been finished and received as well. Which colourway did you get? Was it a custom size?

>>7055132
the first one is navy, and the second is black? at least that's the only difference I see at first glance

>>7055141
Plenty of people have bought it before but usually with plenty of other items. Tumblr tag "galaxy seifuku" have some people who only bought the set by itself so they probably list how much shipping is with just the set.

>>7055150
Okay, thanks. I couldn't tell that they were different colours, oops.

I want to get a white office shirt, but it's for cosplay and I don't want it to be see-through. I've been searching around but am only finding the normal see-through types.

>>7055400
Spoke too soon, I started finding some after adding "thick".

>>7053923
May I have the link to the book in you image, please?

I wasn't looking for item in prsticular but I guess if I had to say something specific I'd like to find a cuff and collar set

>>7055637
Sorry for the typos

>>7055148

Nope, just regular sizing, red colorway. It's possible they might be receiving different sizes at different times.

Already saw a girl review the red colorway on weibo, so I'm not sure if tbr is fucking with me or what.

Does anyone know if 'jojocos' or 'coswinjp' is an alright/trustworthy store? I wanted to buy a portion of a costume from there because they seemed to make it look the most accurate, but I was weary because I didn't see anything about them when I looked them up.

>>7055111
with this one 纸胶带 you can get plenty of results.

Thank you!

Does anyone have any terms for sticker flakes?

Any indie lolita brands that you've seen have a dress that can be converted to a maid outfit?

Made outfit in general?

>>7055400
just a side note. if you wear a nude bra (not white) it makes white shirts have less of that see-through look.

I've never ordered (I've read everything don't worry) but I was wondering something. If I was to ONLY order these: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16103677813 (which I wouldn't, since that'd be stupid) and since it's roughly $2 USD, how much more would shipping be compared to it? I know shipping is what kills on TaoBao but just for reference how much would they charge more on one item?

>>7055759
贴纸独立, 独立包装贴纸, they're pretty hit-and-miss though

i have this peach u_o

>>7055793
About $2 flat+SS+maybe $5? one short wig is about $8

>>7053675
>>7054073
I only have a couple of options so far
http://00505.taobao.com/ (kind of an OL/office-wear type store)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16074398399

it seems like the best bets to find what colors is to go with is "ice cream jelly color" under the optional hot spots or whatever category, and filtering for either OL, princess, or sweet "styles." for whatever reason office ladies tend to wear a lot of the more elegant, high-necked, lacy stuff, though it does tend toward white/black/off-white

Does anyone have a term for coloured wig wefts?

Ok, this is a longshot. But does anyone know where I could find fancy, poofy, frilly, elaborate, pretty southern belle type dresses? I guess Lolita-esque, but more uhhh old time southern? Such a retarded request, I know, but im desperate.

Anybody has bought cups or something on taobao? I can`t help but love this transparent cups and plates.

>>7056034

I have, but I also bought some pillows and clothing for cushion. I got like, 2 plates, 2 bowls and 3 mugs and they all arrived fine. I'm not sure how well glass would travel, porcelain I think is a bit more resilient. I'm planning on putting in an order soon for a teapot and some mugs and only a few dresses, I'm hoping they'll arrive safe.

>>7056034
My friend has. With tbr, it was wrapped up in newspaper to protect them and put back in the original box they were in.

>>7056048
>>7056046
Thank you so much! I guess I will give it a try soon and request some aditional wrapping since I was just planning to order plastic trays and some mugs and little plates.

If anybody wants this is the term for searching this kind of cups> zakka 玻璃杯
Also this store sells the teapot I posted >>7056034
http://sundayxzakka.taobao.com/

>>7056067

Oh I forgot to mention, a few of my things came in boxes, and they filled it with newspaper/bubblewrap, I think it helped a great deal.

I can any deer fur collar. Can some one help me please? I check out with the dictionary (petrovna) and nothing. I saw a fawn bow in the past but can find it anymore too. thanks in advance.

>>7056098
*either

Would there be a keyword for platform shoes?
spiked shoes? I think someone posted it are some point but I forgot to save them.

>>7056129
at* whoops

anyone happen to know a good search term for rain coat? I searched and got very few results.

Sorry if this question has been answered in a recent thread! Haven't been around in a while.

Does anyone know what the keyword is for a replica of AP's Melty Moon bag? Pic related. I'd love to get my hands on it! I've tried melting moon, moon bag, melty moon, all in English and Chinese and I can't seem to find the damn thing.

Speaking of replicas, is the Chinese postal service still yanking them? Would it even be safe to order this bag? I was also thinking about ordering some MA*RS replicas... Is it going to be a problem, even if I ask my SS to cut out tags and hide the pieces inside of bags/at the bottom?

Thanks in advance, guys. You're all so helpful!

>>7056098
"fur collar" is definitely in petrovna's dictionary

>>7056012
I spent quite a while just figuring out how to search even that general shape of dress... the closest I got is 女晚礼服, which is more like bridal/evening gown styles. there are some that come close if you filter for "dress pendulum: princess pannier/plunging to the ground." saw quite a few that could probably be passed off as horrendous quinceanera gowns, though

>>7056129
I see someone sitting on the search term for platform shoes on petrovna's dictionary, so I hope that's you, anon. I don't know how spikes hasn't made it in to the dictionary yet, but the term for that is 铆钉. and make sure to filter for shoes, not sandals (unless that's what you want), if you want something more along the lines of creepers

>>7056148
the bag Loris put out is not a direct replica. it has clouds where the drip is. No direct replica has been made yet that I've seen. And no, chinese customs doesn't give a shit about lolita knock offs, they care about the billion dollar market knock offs (LV, guchi, prada, coach w/e the big fashion brand names are)

>>7056148
I searched the chinese term for moon+lolita and this turned up. (but you could have also just searched "melty moon" in english, both of these also showed up under those results as well) I think this one is preorder?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19087533977

then there's this, that's 700 yuan and change
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=26154672705

>>7056144
...anon, did you try searching for just "rain"? I searched that character and rain coats turned up as a whole category of its own. 雨衣, and if you're looking for more kawaii desu rain coats rather than those awkward functional ones on the first page of results, tack on 可愛

>>7056152
yes anon, it is actually; but when you search for it send you to deer meat.

>>7056169
second looks like a chinese shopping service.

>>7056175
that's the term for fawn fur or fawn fur pattern or whatever. there's a separate search term for fur collars under the specific item name category. I just searched using that right now and I got a bunch of fur collars, no deer gore

>>7056158
Ahh, I didn't like the one with the cloud! Thanks though. Yeah, I've heard of Vivienne Westwood stuff getting taken, and Liz Lisa too... MA*RS and AP aren't too major, but I'm just paranoid? Haha.

>>7056169
Ahhhh, thank you! Why the heck couldn't I find them? I appreciate it. Too bad I'm really impatient and don't want to wait until mid-September to order it...

>>7056184
still, you have found deer collars? or just fur collars? cause i mix all the terms several times in every possible way and doesnt find fawn/deer collar.

>>7056158
There has been an anon that got loli shit taken away from customs though before (photo links are somewhere in the FAQ). It's very, very rare though.

>>7056180
oop my bad. should have known by the katakana in the item name, I didn't really look at the item description all too closely

>>7056192

I think you're talking about the VW shoes and some Liz Lisa knock offs (which really shouldn't be on the list, but apparently is)

which isn't lolita brand replicas.

>>7056192
>>7056198

Interesting. I'm not a lolita myself - I just really dig cute/drippy things.

I really would love to get this VW purse. Another girl got it without any issues, but for 30 bucks I'm really hesitant to get it...

>>7056191
jfc there were definitely deer fur pattern collars under the fur collars tag before, where the fuck did they all go

just search deer fur 皮草鹿, all the collars/capelet things show up within the first couple pages at most

>>7056198
Nope there is some loli stuff (chess story and antaina shoes):
http://fuuka.warosu.org/cgl/thread/S6722350#p6725758

>>7056219
I'm sorry but that doesn't look like customs took it, it looks like something else happened and the box was torn open and shit was stolen. That doesn't say anything about customs on the tape (there is specific customs tape they use, I'm looking for a picture) only Beijing Post that it was RECEIVED in that condition.

Has anyone ever bought one of these backpacks in the blue color- the one to the left of the pink- and can confirm any difference in color? Like is it more blue than the image depicts?

Has anyone bought fabric from taobao? I'm looking for some basic cotton, but everything in my local fabric stores is more than $10/m.

Is there a better term to find boyfriend-style cardigans with aside from using 男友开衫?

Whelp...just saw Krad Lanrete's plan for his next print after the jellyfish print and now I don't know if I should get the jellyfish print or wait for the cat print...

>>7056932
oh my, I might really need this. When do reservations start?

>>7056933
It didn't really say just that the print was in the process of being finalized and that they hoped to have it out before mid September (but they also said Jellyfish would be out by mid-August so...).

>>7055789
Late, but I'm a man so....

What's the word for neon? Specifically looking for neon green at the moment.

>>7056932
Just so you know, i think they said its not going to have the kitty cutout.

>>7056932
Good Lord...

Out of curiosity, what's the most you've all spent on shipping? My current order is pretty small, I'd say, with three dresses, two skirts, a blouse, a bag, three pairs of tights, a pair of shoes, and some makeup. I'm about to add another pair of shoes and a fairly large backpack. No lolita in this order this time.
I usually like to get a feel of my what I'm going to pay total, but I've always sucked at judging the weight of things, like I tend to drastically under estimate it. I think I'm looking at at least $100 in shipping costs this time around.

>>7056966
Holy jesus that makes me scared to order anything

Ista Mori's Captain Mia skirt came to me yesterday!
Did any one else report theirs? I haven't been on cgl in a while.

>>7056966

7kg was $126 for winter wardrobe

>>7056972
>>7056966
Don't be. Dresses are 0.5-1kg each depending on material and the amount of material used, skirts are around 0.3-0.5 kg. Blouse is like 0.2kg, bags and backpacks are much more heavy, like 1kg each. Tights are like 100g each. Shoes can be anywhere from 1 to 2.5kg.

So if we guess by the heaviest weights (not including the new backpack or new pair of shoes) it comes to around 8.5kg.
Which can run you anywhere from $60-150 US dollars on average.
As long as you know what you're ordering you'll be fine and won't go over your limit. Choose the least pricey shipping you feel comfortable with.

Anyone have good shops for BJD bodies? I want to get one for an art project but really can't be spending the normal $200+ for a brand body. <3

>>7056932
I wasn't even prepared for the jellyfish print, and now this. God I need to redo my autumn/winter budget plan.

>>7056981
I reviewed mine awhile back here: http://rbt.asia/cgl/thread/S6999771#p7005720

>>7056984
That doesn't sound too bad at all, after paying $50 for shipping on two items from Japan, $20 for one domestically. I'm not the anon you were replying to, but I'm planning an order soon.

If you don't mind me asking, what all did you order?

>>7056959
That kind of put me on the fence about it. Really would like to see it finalized before deciding, but I'll put some money away for it just in case. That print is lovely.

>>7057023
If the price is good I'll probably end up ordering two, one to have and one to mod and add the kitty cutout.

>>7056959

Weirdly enough, I'm not too fond of the kitty cutout despite being a cat person. I'd really love a purely scenic print out of this. But I think I'll buy it, with or without the kitty.

Here's to hoping they release their stuff soon. I can't wait.

>>7057038
The reason the cutout isn't going to be there is because the designers couldn't make it happen in reality. And I'm expecting the JSK to run $120 minimum, but Krad is going up in price so it could easily be more.

>>7056214
Not that anon but the previous one asking. Is there any term to find a collar and matching cuffs?

>>7056932
I swear their prints are always so gorgeous. I am going to get the jellyfish one no matter what but I'll probably preorder that one too...

Though a bit off topic I am in the process of loosing weight and I know that their preorders take a while to be ready how much smaller would people suggest I order it then my current size?

>>7057092
If possible I'd just wait until you were done losing weight (or the weight loss slows down dramatically). Otherwise no matter how well you try to guess or what your goals are, you'll be wrong. I keep trying to gain weight so I buy clothes bigger with the hope that I'll fit them later on, it never works out right.

Anyone with experience with Pruany, I need a little help. I 'recharged' my account so I could pay for the items, paid through Paypal, got the confirmation email about payment sent, but I can't pay for the items. It's still telling me "Your balance is insufficient, please recharge!"
It still says my balance is at ￥.04(.01 USD), from the last time I made an order. The last time I used Pruany, the balance was instant.
What do?

>>7057167
The only issue with waiting is that Kraft lanrete only custom sizes during preorders. And I will not be down to the size that the offer pre made for at least 6 months. I am pretty confident that I can either alter the dress myself or take it in to be taken in if I have to. And if I get it and there is no way I can do anything with it I am sure there is a fatty elsewhere that would love to have it. My bigger dilemma comes from the fact that I am optimistic when it comes to most things.

this sometimes happens (I use pruany a lot)

message zui and she probably already knows about it, she'll fix it in a heartbeat

What does it mean when something is "Sold out of appreciation" but still allows you to add it to your cart?

How often do wildfox replicas get snagged by customs? do they care?

How to find VM replica shoes? I've tried different search terms but nothing came up.

>>7056627
have you googled "fabric taobao reviews"
and yes, plenty of people buy fabric/lace/etc from taobao, search terms are all in the dictionaries

>>7056877
search using "bf" or "bf风"
or just search cardigan/sweater in general, then under the hot options/style filter, select "bf wind"
>protip for errone: 风 = style, like boyfriend style, princess style, harajuku style, etc

>>7056957
try 霓虹

>>7057064
I looked through the results and nope, I don't see anything. sets would definitely show up there. I searched a few other combinations and got only like two results, neither of which looked at all promising

ok, so i'm completely new to ordering off of taobao using a shipping service.
i've gone through the spread list, but i'm really not sure what the best one for a beginner is. i will say that english capabilities is not a problem, though.
can any helpful seagulls help me out a little?

>>7057537
My first taobao order was through Pruany. Everything was pretty easy and the order went through without a hitch.
I think you'll be fine with using any decent/popular SS really.

>>7057543
ok, thanks! pruany it is, although, I'm still confused on the take pictures of your items shebang.

Thank you for trying anon. Perhaps I'll hunt around for just the fake fur any make them myself.

>>7057555
once all your items come in, leave a note on any one of your items asking them to take a picture of everything. They'll get back to you in like 2 days or so.

Do you have to put a preorder on the Jellyfish dress to receive one or is the preorder just for custom sizes?

Sorry, I know it's probably a typo but I lol'd. Macaroni and cheese gothic print go!

>>7057944
I was thinking mine was a small order as well. I've also got some cosmetics in there.
But if >>7054821 is speculating her order to be 3kg, I feel like mine will be 7 or 8 or something. This order is becoming much more costly than anticipated.

>>7057954
Yes. Krad Lanrete only allows custom sizing during preorders.

>>7057985
Ahh, so does that mean that when it comes out that it comes in general small,medium, large sizes? I'm not a lolita so I don't know how this all works but goodness I would love to have that dress

opinions on this dress? Does the final product look like the stock photos? I want almost every colorway.. hnng.

>>7057982

If you do end up getting the jumper skirts, I'd really love a review. I've been eyeing those, not sure if I should add them to my next order or not.

>>7058014
Yes generally speaking their largest size would fit a bust between 90 and 100 cm after pre-orders. the JSK (Jumper) for the Jellyfish dress does have some shirring in the back so if I were to guess the large would probably fit a 96cm bust at the most... though that's just a guess... idk if you're worried about it being to small or to large.

>>7058034
Well I would have to check my sizes to see what I would be able to fit into since I have c cups and a 29 in waist I'm guessing either a medium or large

Thanks for the info dear

>>7056932

Has anyone ever ordered boob padding on taobao ?

is it generally heavy? Like how much is this going to drive up my shipping costs?

>>7058241

All of the dresses/skirts/blouse plus the black kitty tights are from this same shop, in case anyone needs links.

>>7058342
What do you mean by "boob padding"? Like chicken-cutlets?

>>7058336
check the terms under the deco section in petrovna's dictionary

>>7057502
I can't find many results for 'fabric taobao reviews', just the list of taobao stores on egl. I'll give one of them a try, I guess.

>>7058420
you can also look at hellolace's taobao guide, they've collected some more-or-less reputable fabric stores. also you can check reviews on the item page, provided there are any

I would have gotten the black kitty styled tights in all the colors in this shop, but they've got that faded top part that I'm not too fond of. I've already got a pair of black faded ears kitty tights that I got from another shop and I don't know what to do with them.

>>7058565
Ah, shop, not ship

>>7058519
How's the shine on it?

How do those work? Do you just put it under the top layer of your hair and pin it in place?

Never mind, I found it. It's by Liz Lisa if anyone is interested.

Hey, do any of you know where one could buy around .... thirty military uniforms? Costume stuff for a play that'll be in fucking February-- but I figured that maybe I could see if buying on Taobao could help with that and I really wanna get on it now.

Best taobao store for hosiery and cute socks? I really want some new ones, sheer ankle socks would be awesome if anyone could recommend.

>>7057982
I just got photos from tbr and my package ended like 3.6 kg...I blame the sweaters and the chocolate molds, they must be the heavier items on the order. Also, got some unknown freebies, but they seems to be light.

>>7060132
I wouldn't recommend it. My hair is nearly that length, and I have to braid it/put it in a bun, or else it just gets in the way. Not to mention it tangles like a motherfucker.
Maybe if you have really slow sex, with not a whole lot of movement. Gonna try this out

>>7060915
I have almost bellybutton length hair, and it does sometimes get tangled or in the way. However, I like the whole "hair basically clothing me" look, especially on top.
The only problem I could see arising is that my SO likes to pull on my hair a bit, which obviously wouldn't work so well with a wig.

Does anyone know where to find a decent Sailor Moon locket replica? I've tried various terms but haven't found anything.

If you can get it altered then go ahead. I'd say look at how much you are losing and make a guesstimate as to the size.

Taobao is full of Amavel and Axes Femme replicas yet no Emikyu or Jane Marple. Is there any specific reason for that?

just made an order! there's a bunch of liz lisa replicas and tattoo tights, placed it with bhiner and i'm expecting it to be around 4kg, give or take

>>7060904
Are chocolate molds really that heavy?
I'm waiting for one more pair of shoes and then I'll get my total weight. Looks like I'll be going SAL this time around. Anyone have bad experiences with it? Does it really take 1-2 months to get to you?

>>7054558
If it's working fine for you, why can't you just post it!?

>>7061304
Do you anons really worry about shipping costs that much?
Maybe it's because I usually have big orders, but I always feel more guilty about the amount of items I'm buying than the shipping cost.
For example, my current order is almost $350, and I'm estimating it to be 10kg. I don't mind the ~$150 shipping cost considering I'm ordering like 40 items.

>>7061338
Not really. I also tend to order many items at once. Even with the high shipping costs it's still cheaper than getting stuff from within my country or via online stores, so I don't really care.

search term for wigs for middle-aged women?

>>7061338
I do when the shipping costs more than what I paid for the items. Heavy things aren't worth it.
That's only happened once for me and it was a pretty large order. While waiting for my package to arrive I googled my purchases and found that I would have been better off buying a lot of them off of eBay

>>7061459
That makes sense. Most of my items are either pieces of clothing I can't get from ebay or little things that are 3-10x more expensive on ebay, even with shipping factored in.
For example, the rilakkuma chocolate molds are like $10-15 on ebay, often not including shipping, but are like 2-3 dollars on taobao and hardly weigh anything.

Anon who ordered them above likely underestimated the weight of her sweater. I ordered a knit cardigan once, and when I weighed it once it got home (weird, yes) it was almost a kilo on its own.

question to anyone who uses yoybuy - how accurate is their cost estimation calculator? I'm thinking of doing a small clothes order but don't want to be caught out by horrendous shipping prices.

>>7061624
...that is a dude, right
anyway you can try searching either 海军 or 水手 and filtering for dresses, sleeveless, etc

>>7061645
search for socks/tights and filter by price?

>>7061438
search 假发 and filter for "ms. middle aged"

There's always that sinking feeling when you realize you miscalculated the price of your total haul. And that it's way more than you first thought it to be.

Added up a possible order list and it came around to $200. Not including shipping fees and such. I re-added again just now and realized I left items out by accident. It's now $300 dollars. Still not including other fees.

Help! I'm trying to purchase these DIY felt toys but google translate is not helping me much. Can anyone help me understand the selections?

I think my order is over 10kg. Would it be recommended to split the package into two to avoid customs? I live in the US and have never done an order this huge before

>>7062403
Try using google chrome. It auto-translates.

That purse is adorable.

Anyone know if there's a high chance customs will fuck up my order? I'm in the Netherlands and my order includes some Amavel and Axes Femme dresses and an IW replica bag.

>>7062410
No, you'll probably be fine. I had a 12kg package come via EMS, and customs didn't blink an eye.

Can someone please tell me where to find this bag?

It's a Liz Lisa replica if that helps.

>>7061262
Link to the basket bags?

Whats all that network cards, send frames, card, portal?

>>7062876
It probably means something else but google translate is translating it a different way based off the characters that represent words.

Like how items or whatever turns into "baby" like view all the baby and stuff.

>>7062876
It's wig care stuff. Comb, care solution (wig spray), perhaps a wig cap or stand.
Whenyou see a wig with "Wig + (# of items) " the items are usually those things as well.

I'm really hoping someone can help me. The dedication and helpfulness in these threads always amaze me.

Anyways, I'm looking for bed canopies. Ina thread not too long ago someone posted amazing stores that had some like pictured. I bookmarked the stores but now it seems I can only find 4 poster bed canopies instead of the smaller kind pictured.

If anyone could direct me to how I can find these kind of canopies and not the 4 poster kind I would be forever grateful and bookmark my favorite canopy instead of the damn store and to not have this happen again.

;A; I feel so dumb.

>>7056966
I win this question... on my first order, back when taobao was more obscure and there weren't helpful threads like this, I made the mistake of buying tons of heavy jewellery and studded leather jackets... shipping cost was over 160€

THEN I had to pay the fucking customs fee that was another 35€. aaaand the jackets were pure crap and fell apart after two days.

>>7063050

Only Secret shop seem to make them and they can only be purchased if you join a group order.

>>7063063
I don't know if there's a precise search term/proper name for that type, but a good number show up under 蚊帐床圆顶 (last two characters are "dome")

>>7063040
hm that happens to me too. your SS could probably sort it out? (it says something about "carnival price" on the cheaper price) also, there are duplicates of that purse for even less if you search 猫头鹰包

Thanks for last time, I'm here for help again. I'm looking to get this type of uwabaki in red, the problem is whenever I search I only find the wrong type (which looks more like a Mary Jane) or kids' sizes only.
