/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I am looking for the source on this, reverse image search gives me squat, hoping it's on taobao somewhere?

>>7130769

Didn't notice the other thread was on autosage.

Would anyone possibly have any links to stores with cute overalls?

>>7130759
i think this is some kind of weird shooped Milkm (whatever that pastel brand is?) hoodie

ohw ell, there we go. Just placed an order for one, neat.

>>7130759
Will my agent hate my if I add onto my order? This is way too cute....

>>7131693
p...please respond
this is my first time doing a taobao order, I don't know the etiquette ;_;

>>7131693

Depends if you already are buying the order, or just have it confirmed. They don't mind if you confirmed. If you already paid then you need to make a new one. I wouldn't concern myself with them hating you - they tell you themselves (gently) if you did something wrong.

I'm ordering a normal (not custom) black petticoat from Classical Puppets. Does anyone know if there's a wait time on their petticoats? Or is it only their dresses?

>>7131871

I waited six weeks for mine. Another anon I believe never even had hers arrive? A lot of people recommend to go through clobba so as to not have the hassle of waiting forever.

>>7131886
Yikes. Thanks, I would typically be fine with the wait but I need it somewhat urgently.

>>7131886
I ordered a Classical Puppets petticoat through Clobba once, and it took MONTHS to arrive. Then once it did, the corner of the package had been torn and the lining of the petticoat had gotten damaged. :/ I didn't bother complaining about it though, because I had already waited so long for the damn thing in the first place.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-3500142326.18.JDY2RR&id=22472339910

Is this a preorder for one size or custom?

I saw an anon asking for this the other day, and I've been looking for ages so I thought I'd share and save someone else the hassle.

>>7130757
taobaoring on holiday, or still fucked from CNY this year?

>>7131871
I waited ~ 2-3 months for mine. I heard it's quicker with some SS rather than others. If you do order from CP, wait a week or so and then start asking about your order. Mine only came in after I started bitching about it a bit.

>>7131992
Chinese week long holiday.

Does anybody know a place for good lolita coats? I've been hoping to get Krad Lanrete's but they're not responding to my SS about whether they're rereleasing the ones I'm interested in... and I have no idea what the quality is like for other shops.

>>7132116
Not taobao, but the secondhand stores (closet child in particular) all have tons of super cheap brand coats this time of year. Otherwise, I've heard good things about Fanplusfriend coats.

>>7132040
Hm. I asked TBS about it to make sure since I see they're "in stock." I asked them to contact the seller to make sure of it but they just said it's available. I'm sure they didn't ask about it.

>>7131871
I can't believe that other people have had such trouble with CP. The last one I ordered took three days.

>>7132227
can you give info as in... which SS you used, when you ordered, which one?

>>7132228
Pruany, a month ago, this one in black:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-302901031.2.Qh3tIM&id=3401713800

And when I ordered the same petti in white from CP about a year ago using yoybuy, it couldn't have taken up to a week. Nothing close to the absurd wait times I've heard. Maybe I'm really lucky?

I know this sounds kinda silly, but in the SS spreadsheets are the EMS discounts confirmed? I know the websites say that they have 40%/50% but could they be lying?

>>7132298
pruany is on vacation now I think? it says from 10/1 to 10/7... but then it says its for 3 days? I don't know, its strange engerish.
http://pruany.com/NewsDetails.asp?id=60

>>7132334
taobaotrends gives you how they calculate your shipping fee, and they basically times the end cost of it by .6% , so you get the .4% discount. Not sure about other SS.

>>7132334
I added a sheet in that SS spreadsheet that has some comparisons of some people's orders with EMS from the Chinese postal site versus what they charged.

Highly dependent. Also if I remember correctly, EMS rounds up to the 500 g (up) so that affects cost too.

I'm setting up my first taobao order, and I'm using taobaonow. I'm just wondering, some items come in different sizes, so sometimes the price comes up as something like 7.90 - 35.90
I'm wanting the smaller one, and specify that in my order notes, but in the little total at the bottom of the page, it's for the larger one...Will I be charged for the larger one? Or will it change once it's been billed for?

yo, i'm not sure if my google translate-fu is failing me right now or if i'm just too fucking frustrated to try anymore, but i can't seem to find a good search term for harnesses like this one. i've tried 'harajuku suspenders/straps/harness', 'leather straps/harness/sling', even 'chest garter' because why the hell not. oh, and the term for bondage harnesses in the dictonary. nothing like this is coming up and i'm getting annoyed.

alternatively, if anyone already has a store with this type of thing bookmarked i'd love that too.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a taobao store that sells bonnets suitable for classic or gothic?

Thanks

Some Lolita Bag, anyone?

and I think infanta, chess story, etc sell a few bonnets here and there

Most people are posting in this thread (well I'm basing it off the post count):
>>7131118

Sage because two threads are annoying and neither OPs will delete one.

So I ordered Infanta's Power and Throne JSK in navy, very happy that I managed to grab the last one... and this is the photo Bhiner took of it.
Infanta never made this print in black, so it's not like the SS got it wrong, could they have just captured the color this badly on photo?

I'll still have it shipped to me, maybe it's like a valuable OOAK colorway...

>>7138263
The bows definitely look navy, so... maybe it's just really dark in that photo? Looking close, it does look slightly bluish black.

>>7138263
>is that velvet
Looks more black here, but even if it were black its still quite beautiful. I think if this really is their navy that the issue with the photo and their description is that the main part of the dress really is navy, but a very desaturated shade, whereas the bows are very saturated, and upset the camera's colour balance.

>>7138276
>why yes yes it is
Yeah, I'm think the same. Even in some official photos their blue appears gray, so I'm not too worried.

And even if it actually turns out to be black, it's still gorgeous and I'm keepin it. I was just hoping to add some color (even dark desaturated one) to my grim wardrobe.

>>7138397
>hnnnghh
Well I just skimmed some of the reviews on the taobao order page, the red apparently is more brownish than the photo (sounds they're saying it's desaturated too) so I guess the brightness is all very likely photoshop afterall.
Too bad their's no custom sizing, I've been wanting something like this to be my full knee length dress (damn tallfag genetics)

>>7138410
*there's

Semi-related to taobao so posting here. Want to trade KL jellyfish OP in size M, dark blue short ver. for the dark blue short jsk in M or L. Might consider selling individually for a good offer.

>>7138414
You have it on hand? Pictures please! I haven't seen anyone receive it yet!

>>7138432
Sorry no, KL hasn't even started shipping out yet. It would be just the preorder price and then the item would be shipped to the person's SS or something.

>>7138493
? I don't think they will just change the shipping address like that. You should really not even attempt to do anything with it until you have it on hand, that kind of situation you're describing sounds really sketch.

What SS?

>>7138499
Okay to clarify, I'm Chinese and living outside of China, I use my own taobao and alipay account (through a credit card). The shipping address /can/ be changed, as the address for the reserve and the final payment do not have to be the same, and I haven't paid for the final payment yet (also for some reason the short OP page has gone down). So if anon wants the dress, they send me the money I paid for the reserve (probably through an SS via alipay). Then I bid on the final payment page, their SS pays for that (yes, you can apply for someone else's alipay account to pay for your order) and change the shipping address to their SS's. The SS will be able to see the shipping address and price, so no scam.
>fucking complicated procedures

However I have a couple bids from Chinese lolitas in the tieba already, but am waiting to see if any jsk's pop up. Will most likely end up with one of them instead unless I get a better offer here.

>>7138580
what's the secondhand price range like for jellyfish among lolitas in china?

>>7138586
I paid 300rmb for the original reserve (size M), and managed to get a size L from someone else for 400rmb. I'm looking to sell for at least 400 rmb. idk about market price, nobody seems to be selling it.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but has this dress gone up for reservations yet? I'm worried I missed it already since I can't see it on the Chess Story shop. Also was it Chess Story that were releasing a dress that was similar to ETC's French biscuit print? If so, has that gone up for reservations yet? I can't see either on the shop so I'm hoping I haven't missed anything.

>>7138879
jesus chess story always seems to have gorgeous details but their illustrations always look so bad to me

do you guys know of any taobao shops with really unique seifukus

>>7138879
The dress pictured is not released yet. You can find most info on upcoming prints here --> http://chessstory.tumblr.com/
As for the biscuit print, I know SOMEONE's doing one. Can remember who though, sorry anon.

>>7139218
rococosoul, I believe.

does ayone know what shop i can find pants similar to this?

Anyone have some good menswear shops? I used to have links to some that had tall white guy friendly clothing, but I can't find it. I know there's non-Korean tiny clothes on there. I don't need to end up on that infographic for Yesstyle. I'm just so bored to tears with the shit at my local malls, and everything I want online is extremely expensive designer shit.

>>7131693

I'm using taobaonow and they're totally cool with it. Made first order + paid for it. Most of the items came in, still waiting on something to be made. Messaged them and asked if I could combine orders together and they said yes. Just to make the second order then msg them when it was done.

Made second order, messaged them, and they just combined the two then invoiced me for the second part.

Now I have an order of 53 items... so hard not to dd more /:

I read on yet another jfash blog that the KL jellyfish dresses were ready, so I contacted my SS about them, but they still want to wait till the end of October. Thing is, I was hoping to get my order by around then :s

>>7139395
Yeah lol, that ain't happening

>>7139402
fck

>>7139407
I'm still standing by my statement that the second round of orders that they opened to specific SS aren't being shipped until early 2014.

This girl said she bought this dress from taobao, didn't say what store. Looks exactly the same as the romwe dress but I'd rather buy it not jacked up in price. Tried using translated terms but have had no luck. Anyone else found this dress on taobao?

>>7139395
I contacted my SS last week and she said that KL was going to send the dresses out after the national holiday, but I asked her about it today and she said that "the seller just said will send in turn....." does that mean it won't be till the end of October?

>>7139434
It was in the first round.

>>7139466
Yes, I am just saying that the second round won't be out until 2014, and with their history, I wasn't expecting the first round to ship until Nov at the earliest.

Does anyone know of any shops that sell Mr Saturn plushes?

I tried to look but all I got was those paper dolls things.

>>7139495
oh you again
I think the answer is still most likely no, I spent quite a while searching that first time you asked too, and I only found the paper things as well

>>7139437
romwe link? the dress looks like a really homogeneous blob of black from the screenshot

>>7139353
those pants in particular: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6722190158
otherwise search 哈伦裤 for harem pants, 哈伦裤大裆 if you want the kind that sag as low in the crotch area as the ones in your pic

>>7139690
Ahh, thanks a lot for searching.

Here's to praying my EMS parcel will get here before Halloween, it'll probably be shipped out tomorrow. I thought I'd be safe but then some items were delayed, so now I'm worried. How big are my chances?

>>7140339

EMS you say? Unless it gets lost or your local customs decide to hold the parcel hostage, you will have it by Halloween.

>>7140364
You never know in October with the halloween rush. But yeah, I think so too. I just don't want to be too optimistic.
Hoping I'll have it friday next week.

>>7140963
You know what, they say on the product page they make it themselves, so the girl in the photo is probably wearing a different item that happens to look the same..

Anyone know why taobaonow is done / when it's coming back up ?

I can't connect to it and 'down for everyone' says that it's not just me experiencing this.

I was hoping I'd be able to pay my final shipping today ): It was working late last night.

>>7141061

>>7141069
It's been going down for a few hours every day or so lately. Just gotta keep checking in

Someone knows if there is a taobao shop that sells circle lenses?

>>7141600
Don't do it, anon.

>>7141600
I wouldn't trust it.
Besides that, there are some fairly cheap regular shops with good reputations that will ship directly to you and are written in English. There should be no reason to use taobao

>>7141609
Ok then, i was just wondering because i found this in a taobao haul review so i had that doubt.
http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=16182609014&

>>7139218
Not really on topic, but are their more blogs like this that have info about specific brands? I always get my info from you guys, but that only covers most of the hypes around new prints.. and lolibary is really messy in my opinion.

>>7141600

>>7138879
the biscuit print is from rococo soul. I think the sales page goes on this weekend.

Hello.
Some time ago in a thread someone posted a bag. It was navy colored and it had like a charm of a lolita. I was wondering if here's a link to a taobao store. I remember there was also a dark green version.

I know it's too vague but I hope you can help me find it.

>>7141694
i think the biscuit one has sold out

I am in the process of ordering directly from Infanta. Anyone out there who has some experience ordering directly from them? I've only used ss in the past. So far communication has been great.

Does anyone know what the search term for boho/hippie style clothes would be? I've tried google translate for those two as well as "gypsy" but none of them have worked well.

When they send the picture of your items do they let you ask for a different picture with like certain things out of it

>>7141811
which SS

>>7141812
taobaoring

>>7141811
if anyone;s wondering its cause my parents will wanna see the photo

>>7141818

>>7141823
wow fuck off

>>7141650
Yetanotherjfashionblog on tumblr updates pretty often, I think she lurks/posts here every now and then. She can also translate, which is a huge plus.
There's also thinklolita on tumblr as well, but as far as I know she can't translate.

what are good stores for basic lolita blouses?

>>7141722
poke around in the filters next time when you're searching, it's the term for "national wind" 民族风

you can also try searching the translation for bohemian, rather than just boho

>>7141696
wow yeah that's really vague. have you tried searching lolita and filtering for bags first to see if anything that shows up jogs your memory?

>>7141715
i'm very curious about this myself, would you be doing a review on directly purchasing from infanta?

>>7142208
i don't update often enough, and these few weeks i'm just posting from my phone when i have spare time commuting...(hence so many shitty posts) but i am always happy to help translate!

i'm so bad at doing small taobao orders. I do a mockup of what's meant to be a small order and it ends up being $350. overkill much?

>>7140339
Aaaaand it's now stuck in customs. I hate this goddamn fucking country. It doesn't even contain items for more than the limit, parcel should be small, and I have things in there I need to modify before Halloween if I want things to be perfect.

This is the second time an EMS parcel of mine is stopped this year, and I've only shipped three orders in total.

How cheap exactly is leather in china?
I've been looking at shoes, should i just assume everything under 100 yuan will be fake?

So this isn't related to taobao, but I know some people have used aliexpress ITT before, so hopefully someone will know.

I'm ordering from aliexpress since they have stuff that I can't get on ebay. Has anyone gotten their credit card stolen from aliexpress? I was reading reviews and one lady did, and aliexpress doesn't accept paypal.

>>7147788
Leather isn't cheap in Asia. You have a better chance of getting real leather in the US at a decent price. Under 100 yuan will most likely be synthetic.

Just out of curiosity, how much does the shipping for a moderately sized order (like most of the ones you post here) could cost? $80? more?

>>7148734
From my experience, I haven't had problems with aliexpress. They even refunded me an order that I never received.

The only problem is the slow shipping but considering it comes from China, well yeah.

>>7148766

Sorry for further OT question, but in your experience, how long did it take? I need the items preferably in less than one month.

>>7148775
Unfortunately it did take like a whole month to get here :(

Sometimes it can arrive in 2-3 weeks but only if you're lucky.

>>7148787

Damn, I guess I'll have to look at other sources then. Thanks for your input!

>>7149100
I don't know if you'll be getting anything in time though through Taobao considering Halloween is cutting it close.

>>7149114
Yeah. That's what I was a bit worried about, though I will be having costume parties after Halloween too so it won't go to waste. Besides, I can always save it for next year.

What would knitwear be? I might have overlooked it on the dictionary if it's there sorry.

>>7149164
Thanks a bunch!

I know this is from ebay sellers, but just a heads up. I had some items not come for a while, and e-mailed the people. I got two replies, both along the same line of this:

>We want to update you about some recent delays on items shipping from China / Hong Kong. Recently the Hong Kong Post announced that all items shipping by air are now subject to x-ray screening for regulated materials. This additional screening has cause delay in shipment. so could you please be patient to wait for it a few more days?

Just a heads up for the rest of you that shipping might be slower.

>>7149272

Sorry about that, I forgot this was a different thread.

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2565446136 has a bunch of different reviews for various loli items, including brand and taobao. Very good to check out if you're wondering about what a recent release looks like.

And just FYI, I use http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2629113098 as a catch all for most taobao updates, but they also include news on brand.

>>7143478
I just paid for my shipping with TBT, and they shipped it via ems, didn't use DHL. My shipping was cheaper AND heavier than yours as well... so not sure why they did that with you..

>>7149988
oh wait, ofc its cheaper, I live in australia , forgot to say. So just ignore the part about it being cheaper.

Does anyone know where else I can find these shoes? On taobao or elsewhere?

>>7150125
Thanks, I never notices r-series did shoes! These ones have a heel though where the originals were flat, ideally I'd like some flat ones if they exist anywhere

>>7150128
i dont' have time to look for it right now, but there is a realyl nice shoe store that does a lot of shoes in that style and they are real leather too (you can request faux leather as well) but I suggest copy and pasting the name of those shoes into your search bar and then slowly removing things/breaking up the search terms to isolate the words that bring up that type of shoe

>>7150129
I did try searching for terms from the name but with no luck. I've just managed to find them on aliexpress though! Thanks for your help

So today I received a letter from customs, I have to declare the true worth of the package and if I don't reply it'll be destroyed in 30 days.

I asked my SS to not mark down the package but to declare it as a gift. Have I just been unlucky or is there a chance my SS fucked up?

>>7150188
Ouch, I wouldn't know why they'd destroy it unless you have counterfeit goods or they did mark it way too low and there were price tags in the package. Honestly couldn't tell you what's happened.

>>7150188
I'd email your SS and ask them what they declared it as, and ask them if they know what's going on.

Does anyone in the US know if customs is fucked up because of the government shutdown?

>>7150763
>government shutdown
Already ended today.

>>7150768

>>7150771
Don't think so, at last not for me.

mind you it was only an Aline but still cheaper than clobba. its $30 now to order though.

>>7137620
that spank seller sells them (dunno if the TB was legit store or replicas)

>>7151271

Yes I got a skirt/blouse set from them and a dress. Great quality. Sold both cos I lost a ton of weight so no pictures, but itś a good store.

>>7151298
Do remember when you ordered? I only ask because both of my SSs haven't been able to get through to them for weeks. I want their IW Himari replica set so bad.

Anyone know a shop for kigurumis on taobao?

>>7150188
You could try printing out your order and maybe include some PayPal statements of some kind and then see if they'll accept that.

>>7151308

uuuhm I got the meta sailor set end last year I think? And a chiffon dress around feb?

Does anybody know a shop that sells super warm winter tights? I just moved somewhere colder. Also, my winter gear is super lacking and I don't really wear pants. Bonus points for fleece.

>>7150188
I think your SS might have fucked up and declared your package as being worth obviously way less or 0RMB. This is a huge red flag for customs.

The reason why I think this is the case is because whenever I order something with Tenso and the value of items isn't immediately obvious, they make me input a value myself. (Kind of sucks for lucky pack type things because I have to estimate, but oh well.)

Try 加绒连裤袜, should get you results of fleece tights

>>7152286
Mine never got stuck, my order arrived 2 days ago


Also, I'm going to be doing a few reviews soon, since people requested them.

>>7152358
I've done it for lolita Christmas raffles/party games. Always with other cute, usually matching, accessories though.

if i wanted to buy something from japan but it only ships inside japan... what service could i go through to get it shipped to the US?

im trying to buy this owl from lost in translation.

>>7152368
From Japan

Sooo... how long does it usually take for Hong Kong airmail to reach Europe?
I've only ever used China Post before. Packages often traveled around different custom offices for a week before leaving China but then manage to reach my country in like 4 days, whilst HKairmail dispatched the next day, but has been flying around for 7 days now. It's supposedly much faster than CPairmail...

>>7152368
Why ask this in a Taobao thread? Taobao is Chinese, not Japanese.

>>7131693
Taobao trends doesn't mind if you do, they will also add it to your first order for the shipping fee, so you don't have to pay the additional minimum shipping fee for your new order.

What do I search to find print tights on taobao?

>>7152294
Google translate isn't helping me too much. Are those moss gardens made with real moss or just the decoration kind?

Which taobao store produce chiffon blouse similar to this one?

Such a newb question but how do I determine what Infanta does in custom sizing?

guess what.

Sock dreams got the cat tights now.

>>7153278
Is there an anti-aliased version of the print?

>>7153300
It looks like that because the design is woven in the fabric, not printed.

>>7150129
if you rembember later, can you post it please?

>>7153300
It probably won't be a problem if you have smaller legs than the model. I realize that they want to accurately show how their stock will fit a non model-like leg, but in this case it makes the design look like crap.

Can someone help me out? I'm just looking for a simple brown cardigan. It's just to keep warm in lolita. It just seems so silly to pay $130 to AP just for a logo.

>>7152322
Not the anon you're talking about, but I can't find the set at all! I guess I missed it, but thanks anyway.

anyone know which store sells blouses similar to this one? It doesn't have to be exactly as pictured, and I don't care if it's short or long sleeved. I got lost while looking for one unfortunately...

>>7153622
search "the floral notebook princess of the rose blouse" they're doing custom chiffon blouse orders with an open neck design like that.

>>7153659
link please? I just looked it up and translated but I couldn't find it yet.
sorry for newfagging.

Back with a review of Liz Lisa replica boots.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.0.AjXeRH&id=15878913319

I've worn them for several hours and am super pleased with them.

Pros: cheap! ( 106RMB on discount) good quality for the price, exactly like the photos, two types of laces, strong heel with good grip on the soles, inside is lined with warm fabric

Cons:Unfinished lace ribbons without plastic ends (no aglet) = future fraying,

I would certainly recommend these. They are so cheap and beautiful!

>>7153622

>>7153959
How are the insides? hard, comfy?

A friend of mine ordered some stuff from Taobaotrends, and it's been on its way for quite a while now, she's afraid it's gone missing. They keep asking her to wait a week, and she's okay with not getting a refund but does TBtrends even do that?

I bought a dress listed as "XL-bust 98cm"
I received the right colour, tagged XL, but it measures 44cm flat. Fuck you taobao. You always do this to me. This is the first dress I've bought in years because did this to me the last time. 2 YEARS ago. I hate you, taobao.

>>7153959
>Cons:Unfinished lace ribbons without plastic ends (no aglet) = future fraying,


just singe it with a lighter or candle. It will seal up the edge in less than 5 secs. No fraying.

It looks really pretty - hope you can get it!

I'm looking at dakimakuras on taobao and I was wondering if anyone knew what "with core" entails? Does that mean it includes the pillow and the pillow case?

>>7153959
Thank you for this review! I was looking at getting a pair of LL Rep boots from Mumu, but these seem fine and are much cheaper.

>>7153959
How tall are heels, and it looks like there's a platform, height on that as well? thanks!

>>7154543
yep, with pillow
honestly I'd reccomend getting without pillow, because it'll be WAY cheaper to ship and in my experience the pillows are super shitty/understuffed so you have to add more stuffing anyways?

>>7153988
personally, i find them a bit hard and quickly put insoles in to soften the sole

>>7154690
they're not actually that tall.
2cm platform 10cm heel

Don't know if it was posted yet but the chinese name for soft styles like Cult Party would be 软妹.

what are good stores for kigurumi? all the kigu stores look like they stole photos from each othre.

>>7147788
Antaina uses real leather at a decent price. I got shoes from them awhile back assuming it would be fake leather for $60 and turns out it was real.

>>7141612
Last I heard you could get banned from taobao for selling contact lenses because so many people were selling expired/fake lenses that could ruin your eyes.

>>7155268
I bought from the Sazac shop and got a nice kigu, thick and soft and seems well made. not sure if it's an official retailer of theirs but the kigus seem like a real deal and are slightly cheaper than the English/international webstore.

Conversation continuing on from Lolita thread
>>7151019

So I use TaobaoNow (TN) and I haven't had any problems with their communication, their lay-out or any packaging/postage problems. Their fee's are slightly higher than a few other SS, but I like to use them as they just make ordering so easy.
If you have any friends that use a different SS and they can show in person how to use their SS, feel free to take their advice and go with that service.

>>7156146

Step 1: See the picture for a guide
Go to TaobaoNow, you can find it via google and on the homepage you'll find down the bottom an area for registration.
Click on 'Register Now' and enter in your basic details. You'll receive an email about your registration, it's normally instant but can take a few hours if it's just after public holidays or around Chinese new year.

>>7156146
Holy fuck what a gorgeous print. Is there going to be a skirt version as well? I'm only able to find info on the OP and accessories.

>>7156155
Step 2: See picture for reference
Once you've signed up and have received the registration email, you can either go into your profile or onto the home page and down towards the bottom there will be a red rectangle with the user menu inside.

This menu has an option 'Your shopping cart', click on it and it'll lead you to the ordering page. Open up the webpage for your item or items, for this example I'll be using the Magic Potion JSK and the matching head band. You can also see the SS fee's here

You can change the currency to USD, HKD and SGD. I like to keep it in USD while I'm making my order as it's easier to track my spending, however before I press the order button I like to check the exchange rate to see what works better with the Australian dollar.

>>7156168
No idea about a skirt, the JSK will cost around $65 when it's finished

JSK link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=35448264772

>>7156168
Wondering this as well, not a fan of the bodice lacing but that print...

>>7156201
There's a very good chance, as I'm a bit busty, that I'll be changing mine from a dress to skirt. I hate that corset detailing. Super tacky lacky

>>7156194
Step 3: See picture for reference
You open up your page to the Magic Potion JSK (MP) and you copy the URL to the space provided, you type how many you want, color, size and any questions. After you have finished this part, click on 'Add to cart'.
Their computer system will then 'fetch' the item and add it on.

Then repeat this step for any additional items that you want, if you accidentally add to many, there is a simple 'X' button next to the individual items that you can click-on to delete that item.

Step 4: Once you are happy with your order, you'll receive an email asking for confirmation, click on it and if you've chosen Paypal, they will either send through an automatic invoice or simply message them and they will send it through to you.

This is the basic's for ordering. I'll post below a few things about postage, items not being in stock, reservations etc.

>>7156146
I'm really hoping they release more of this print, my SS was too slow and I had to watch as the reservation for this print sold out before my eyes...

>>7156246
Communication: Once you've done a an order, you can view it in the 'My Orders' area.
Here you an track your item and view it's progress, you will receive an email notification whenever there is a message for you There are little symbols that light-up when each individual item goes through the stages.
They represent: Ordered, paid, any inquiry, shipped to TN office, double checked, postage paid and shipped to you.

Deleting orders after you've paid:
TN won't answer questions about items unless you order and pay for it first, I was looking for a skirt in dark green and the sellers page had no examples so I placed my order and asked my questions. TN came back to me with color samples and a making time, none were dark green and I was hoping for a ready-made item so I asked TN to cancel my order. You get the option of either a refund or a credit towards your next order.

Adding to your current order:
They have a inquiry area at the top of your order, just message them with the page URL, size, color and any questions you have.

>>7156263
Damn, when did they sell out? I only placed my order last night when the page was still available

>>7156313
I'll keep using the MP jsk as a example even though it's sold out

>>7156124
Reservations:
As with the MP JSK, there will be two payments, the inital payment of 150 yaun/ $25 USD and then the remaining amount 208 yaun/ $35USD.
You need to keep an eye on your reservations as the sellers don't always notify the SS when the next payment is due, most sellers will list an approx time when it'll be due. For MP JSK, it'll be in a 2-3 weeks time. However this can be pushed back depending if they have enough interest for the release. When the second payment can be received, the seller will make a new page in their shop and it's just copying that URL and adding it to your current order and checking with TN that everything is all good with the order

Postage: expect to pay half in postage to what your total order is. I find this is a good guide, If you're getting shoes- expect to pay more. You don't have to pay the invoice ASAP, let them know if you're going to be more than 3 days late

>>7153427
ah, sorry, I've been bad about checking CGL, I bookmarked it but it's over now.
Good luck!

I was browsing through some of the links on the spreadsheet, and I noticed that a lot of the costume images are actually the same ones used for this site fm-anime.com on here http://shop1420038.taobao.com/

Any reason why?

>>7139495
From what I've seen there's hardly any Earthbound/MOTHER stuff on Taobao. I think your only option is to make it yourself or commision it.

Anyone know any taobao shops that sell draped, flowy or distressed clothing? Similar to alice auaa and Na+h

>>7155814
>Sazac
thank you anon.

>>7154995
>10 cm
>not that tall
Please teach me your tricks

saged for going into somewhat off topic territory

>>7156653
Best bet is try searching the mori tag with black. Other option is to try this list of shops here as a starting point and go from there. http://ohyeahmorigirl.tumblr.com/shoplist

I posted a bit of a review on my blog, never seen anyone buy these furoshiki off taobao before? They are really cute and have bunnies acting out different japanese festivals (I think?). They kept going in and out of stock while I was ordering (taobaospree) so it took a while for me to get the full 9 but it was worth the wait.

I got caught by customs though so after all that they ended up costing me nearly €20 each *facepalm*

(the review: http://sparklesideup.blogspot.ie/2013/10/colourful-rainbow-wall-hanging-made.html))

>>7157109
forgot the pic

My haul post! Mostly cute housewares and stationary

http://sparklesideup.blogspot.ie/2013/10/taobao-cute-housewares-haul-and-review.html

Does anyone know how long Taobao Spree will hold your items?
I am waiting on the second round of jellyfish dresses, but I am losing my shit over this bag and want to add it to my order. However, it will probably be ready way before the other items.

>>7157384
That's so adorable!! I love clouds and that bag has to be the most perfect thing in the world.
How long until people will be selling this so I can get one?

yay, tbtrends received my stuff! shitty small order, but i didn't need much. REALLY wanted the dear celine little prince vest last year, so i'm super glad i snagged one this time around. still waiting on my jellyfish dress from clobba.

>>7157109
Wow, they're really cute! €9 per square is already really expensive, though... Sucks about customs, it's undoubtedly going to happen to me on my next order. Those bowls are damn cute too. And those fridge stickers...

Speaking of my order, Krad Lanrete are taking forever to respond to my order. My SS ended up refunding my money for a coat (I think they waited a week) and I placed the order again asking that they wait until November for a response... I really want it before December, though, so it's pushing it.

holy shit, as much as I love yoybuy and understand why they do this, the 50 item per order limit makes me a little crazy. I did the big (mostly) xmas gift order and wow. First order is the (mostly) family order, both mine and my SO's. Second is mostly friends. Third is mostly stocking stuffers for SO and little things for friends, ie a bunch of pens and stationary so 50 items went by shockingly quick. Fourth is the order of SNK cosplay stuff for our little group, so our cloaks, boots and jackets match (and so we could get actual nice looking wigs).

And I'll have to make a fifth tiny order which will be 'shit I had to order from other stores after submitting because baby shelfed but the listing was still up'. Which ALWAYS happens to me.

Anybody else know my pain here?

>>7157452
Where are those blouses(?) on the top from?

What is the search term used for fabric by the meter? Specifically border print fabrics. I tried "border print fabric", "border fabric", and "fabric" and all I get are premade crafts and/or weird stuff.

I'm looking for any kind of high, stretch boots for 26cm(US size 10) or just any larger sized gyaru style shoe stores in general. I'm sick of looking at Dream-V and Liz Lisa shoes and wanting to chop all my toes off!

>>7157478
i got them from this listing

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18948976116&spm=2014.21604996.0.0

which is sold out now, but you can use the terms in the item title to find other shops that have them. they're like the more expensive dabuwawa blouses. i got white and navy.

>>7157500

I just recently got a dreamv replica pair of their thigh high boots in size 10

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Hot-Womens-Lace-up-Chunky-Heel-Over-knee-High-Knight-Boots-FREE-US5-10-5-/111159817952?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:3160

my only complaint is that the rubber part at the bottom is tan, I painted mine black to match

>>7157452
btw, does anyone want pics of the little prince vest? tbtrends took a few detail shots i can post if there's interest.

>>7157509
Anon, I love you so much!

>>7157513
I am!

>>7157477
Yoybuy doesn't have a minimum service charge per order though, right? I think it calculates the service charge when you pay for shipping, so you can just make orders and then combine them at the end (I could be wrong, though.) So unless you're literally putting the fifty items in all at once or you want to pay for everything in just one go, it shouldn't be a problem.

>>7157739
okay!! compiled them into 1 pic.

probably a stupid question, but can someone please post links to gothic blouses/dresses they reccomend? i'm not really sure if there are 'reliable' stores. any ones you've bought that are good quality?

>>7157497
a chinese-speaking anon from way back said border-printed fabric is 定位印花布, not totally sure if it's wholly accurate but it's worth a shot

>>7157500
you're going to have to take advantage of the filters in the search engine. search 靴子 (just boots in general), select for heel height (since it's gal, probably 8cm+), then shoe size (either 44 or 45, I'm guessing). then from there you can pick style elements and etc

Can anyone find a listing for custom-printed t-shirts? My SS said they'll do it if I link them an image.

Just thought I'd share a positive review of taobaonow as a SS:

- Super good communication: Very fast at replying, often almost instant. Good English skills. Also clarified my orders with me (for example, I ordered some garter things. They clarified with me that I understood that the product was only 1 item as opposed to a set). They were also up front and honest if the seller sent them something that was incorrect (for example, sent me the wrong colour headband - gold not bronze - Vivi informed me straight away and asked if I was still willing to accept it).

- Fast at processing items / requests etc: Combined two of my orders instantly on request, also packed my items how I requested (I brought some sunglasses + sunglass protectors and asked them to place them inside the case).

- Packaging was efficient: not a single space left in my box, was very impressed. They bubble-wrapped the nail polished I brought + put it in a plastic bag. None of my stationary was bent.

- Very fast: I paid for shipping around 7pm on the 11th of October (a Friday) for EMS, I received my parcel very early on Monday the 21st. So all up it took 5 full business days + two weekends.

I would totally recommend them and will be using them again.

>>7158553
Other things I forgot to add:
- I combined two orders giving me a total of 55 items (they don't have a limit as far as I can tell like other SS mentioned earlier).

- Only complaint I have is that one store that I brought from seemed to take longer to come in then the others (although because I made a second order it didn't really matter). I messaged the person twice about it and received the same reply ("Its on its way to our office). After the second message, they marked the items as received a few hours later, however, one item was out of stock. My theory is that they received them earlier then they indicated, but were trying to work out the missing piece of stock

>>7157946
I can't seem to figure out how to filter for shoe size

I'm about a 9.5/10 US/Canada in shoes, what would I be for TB? online charts say anywhere from 40-44...

>>7158574
I''m a 9.5 US/AUS 9-10. European 41/42. Chinese size (taobao) is meant to be one or two bigger than European. I got a 43 chinese and it fit fine. I wish everyone would just use centimeters like Japan, makes so much more sense. Good luck!

do you mind if i post this on my tumblr?
i think it is very helpful and i never have the patience to explain everything so clearly. you can PM me on tumblr if you want to be credited.

Okay, for anybody interested in the magic potion jsk/OP.

I emailed myobook for a quote and they confirmed that it's no longer available.

HOWEVER, they said the seller will have it back up in their shop in December, but the price will be higher. Obook said the price for the JSK is going to be Rmb378. So it'll cost $62.

>>7158933
That's not bad. Thanks for the tip, anon!

>>7157904
a-anyone...?

>>7153149
seconding this

>>7158933
That's good, I shouldn't spend more money now anyways. Thanks!

any good, reliable stores for blouses? i'm in desperate need of a few. specifically for gothic.

>>7158569
are you clicking the general filter for boots first? taobao can be idiotic sometimes and even when you search the word for boots, you'll have to actually click the department itself (like if you search for cameras on amazon, you'll have to select cameras/videocameras before you can go on to select model and make). pic related for clarification

>>7158968
>>7157904
I found these just by searching the word "gothic" and then sorting by credit

gothic dress anon here
not really what I was looking for, but thanks!

>>7159264
then what do you mean by gothic exactly? like more victorian/EGA-leaning? pictures would help

>>7147680
If you live in the UK then customs absolutely love to hold EMS parcels and charge you through the nose for customs.

>>7159259
Yeah, the only other thing I saw filters for were heel height

I tried "LL" along with the original term as well, but didn't see anything different. Chances are I'm just retarded though, but I have seen any filters for shoe size.

>>7159304
Not only the UK, it seems to be a problem in the whole EU since EMS is affiliated with the most customs.

does anyone know a good place for a white/offwhite lolita underskirt on taobao?

Is it possible to get a mori godmother to help me build a mori wardrobe? I have a budget of 300-400 and I have no clue where to start.

so uh, whats happening with fox cherry?

>>7159370
the owner apparently might die soon. She has always had health problems (or at least, she has always had a warning about poor health on the shop banner/greeting) though. So maybe she'll pull through?

>>7159387
should I keep my order with her or not? I heard some SS recommended not to/get a refund

>>7159387
It took her about a month, but she was able to fill my order that contained about 15 items. I just received them yesterday (along with the rest of my SS order) and everything looks great...I wonder what kinds of delays other people are experiencing though, a couple of threads ago people said she was issuing refunds left and right.

I've seen people buy moriable things from these stores.

>>7159398
I've been on a few of these shops, but my problem is constructing a cute outfit. My imagination is rather poor when it comes to clothing.

>>7159393
You need to ask your SS to try and contact her first, tell them you heard via another shopper that her condition was getting worse and you want to know how she is, health wise, before ordering.

>>7159397
When did you order? This news about her condition was within the past two-three weeks I believe.

>>7138263
I have this dress Anon, and in person sometimes people think it is black. So I wouldn't worry too much. Either way, it would still be pretty in black.

What's the best way to find store envy stuff on Taobao? I try reverse image search to find Chinese characters for the items and search for that on Taobao, but sometimes it doesn't work.

I'm looking for most of the stuff from this shop:
http://shopyumart.storenvy.com/

Is it ever worth it to buy from store envy over Taobao?

>>7159336
http://bjts.taobao.com/
I'm a dude with poor knowledge of mori (though with decent knowledge of some other jfashions) and I ran across this store while trying to buy a gift for a friend who likes the style. Honestly I think even I could construct a wardrobe out of the place, they have a ton of super nice pieces! For your budget I bet you could get a ton of stuff too, most of it's $10-12. I picked out a sweater for said friend; I could tell you about the quality when it gets here in a few weeks if you like.

>>7159432
literally all that shit I see all over taobao? Like search 'cat shoe' and 'dog bag' (translated obv) and you'll find 34134423321 different stores with them.

I guess it might be worth it if you just really really wanted one item and absolutely nothing else, making it not worth the shipping from china.

>>7159426
It was just before I saw it here, so just on three weeks ago.

>>7159438
Ones in particular I had trouble finding:
http://shopyumart.storenvy.com/products/1329774-polkadot-puffy-sleeve-top
http://shopyumart.storenvy.com/products/1621953-crochet-lace-pleated-top
http://shopyumart.storenvy.com/products/1707321-petal-layered-sleeve-shirt
http://shopyumart.storenvy.com/products/1326983-floral-crochet-collar-dress

>>7159446
Hmmm, and you ordered from the made to order pieces? Or do you know if you may have ordered from the ready made stock (so all she had to do with box it up)?

>>7159456
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.106.y3Gvjh&id=18748934297
I did find this, which is similar to that third shirt?

basically the technique I'd use to find stuff I suspected was from taobao would be to search the element you like about it (i searched 'peter pan collar shirt') and then even if you can't find it, you might find other stuff you like?

>>7159456
http://www.rakuten.com.my/shop/taiwango/product/TF3005132/

>>7159460
I think one was ready to go and the three others were make to order

>>7159543
what if... what if your's was the order that killed her, and now you'll have the last ever fox cherry items ever made...

>>7159543
it must have been. I'm sorry fellow lolitas, and i'm so so sorry miss fox-cherry

>>7139437
bug her. I really want that dress.

Does anyone know if anywhere sells any vivienne westwood style drapey classic looking dresses? I had a look, and went through the taobao dictionary.

Mamma needs some new cheap frocks that aren't too dolly.

>>7159657
Just... make it? That looks more like it belongs in a regretsy thread, I love VW stuff but some of it just looks like utter garbage.

I don't think Fox Cherry is sick/dead? Idk where that's coming from as a quick scan of her taobao shop just has a long message from her about being disorganized and taking too many orders and how she needs to get her game together. She's also opened a new store with current stock items.

>>7159393
I had an order with her just before the new year and she had it out before the 10 day waiting period. I had about 5 things from her shop in my order. I think the best thing is to get in touch with your SS and ask them to get in touch with her.

>>7148953
again same anon.

I don't understand the errors of the bag, fake iw embroidery? I don't understand that

>>7159393
Hi, I was the one who got that email, reposting:

Oh,friend.
Have a bad news from this seller.
She said she was ill,maybe will be die soon.
it's very fearful.let's requst a refund for all items from her store.
my god.
please let me know.

Given that she seems to be handling other orders fine, I'm wondering if she had a bad experience with my agent and is bullshitting him so she doesn't have to deal with him, or because she had too many orders. She has seemed kinda crazy in the past.

I think the advice for Dollypoddle should be changed to don't ever think about using, ever.

She's disappeared and hasn't been in contact with anyone. Some have been receiving their stuff, but without any acknowledge that it had been sent out. People are now claiming their money back through PP and their banks.

I know she has a baby, but she could still find two minutes to post on FB letting everyone know she hasn't run off. She's either seriously ill, or taken the money and ran. Even then, the time it took her to reappear the last time was ridiculous.

Does anyone know the correct translated words for the puzzles and dragons smartphone game? I want some merchandise

I have no fucking clue if taobao is being stupid and pulling particular filters at random (this does happen sometimes, if rarely) or if you're just missing the bottom row. I was searching 高跟靴子 (high heeled boots) this time, and pic related was the search page result

>>7159432
there's no easy way unless you're familiar with the sort of tags that sellers like to stuff their titles with. sometimes, the storenvy seller will take the chinese item name and just translate it to english, so if it sounds really stilted on the storenvy page, it's possible you can translate all or part of it and just search that on taobao. I've done similar things with stuff on aliexpress and dresslink before

Go for it, I love your tumblr and I'd honored if you wanted to post my 'How-to'. I don't need to be credited but I do ask that you double check my pictures to make sure I haven't left my name in any of them.

I have recently lost quite a bit of weight and I am in need of a bunch of casual tees/pants etc. The only potential problem is that I am just under 6ft tall. Are there any good search terms/tb shops that I can use to find some things? Thanks in advance for any and all help!

How can we tell if a shop of item will be in the 11.11 sales - or have they not labelled yet?

>>7160946
W-what sales are these?

A friend of mine ordered from this site:
http://shop103903994.taobao.com/?spm=a1z10.1.0.0.KRMdcR

And was told to not choose the cheapest item, just because it was cheap. I looked into a lot and the seller is p. trustworthy. They then told her it was out of stock. Should she just look into a new S.S. and can anyone from Sweden or not U.S. recommend a good one?

Whoa, I've never heard this before. What SS is this?

I'm in Ireland and I usually use TBR. However, for my lolita orders, because either TBR is lazy or has been banned from certain shops (I'm not exactly sure which is true) I've started using celestial delinquent. She's good, if not a bit pricy. I also used Bhiner, but they have a slightly more expensive shipping which makes things annoying.

Actually now i think about it, this is stuff TBR might pull....

>>7161009
TaobaoSpree is a very good SS, and you can pre order with them.

I order the Captain Mia and everything was 10/10.

>>7160950
On 11.11 Taobao and tmall shops will have everything at half price - but I don't know if it's just big shops or...

>>7161060
Too bad it's so close to the Christmas mail rush...

Do you guys use Google to convert cny or rmb to usd? I've been putting an order together, but my pricing from google is lower than the usd prices yoybuy is giving me and its starting to add up.
If google is wrong, what should i use?

Looking for a wig similar to this style and color

Just did another really big haul post, this time on clothing :-)

xe.com is the standard I'm pretty sure... but honestly I'm pretty good at guessing. it's roughly 7rmb to a $, though obviously the higher the amount the more off that is, so I usually check items over 100 yuan.

i need a little help finding a skirt.
prepare yourselves for full idiot mode.
So I was looking around taobao and found a store selling a gorgeous skirt. it was a gothic high-waisted skirt, that had an embroidered cross and roses around it in gold. I remember there were 3 different colourways, and each one had a different trim at the bottom. being me, I forgot to bookmark the page. I thought it was surface spell, but I guess it wasn't. It was a respected store, though. any help?

>>7161177
Most SS have a fixed conversion rate, which is why it's a bit different from whatever google or xe is telling you.

>>7161603
Was it this one? Surface Spell has another store that sells mainly gothic clothes.

Taking a poll, how much does you average TB order cost? What do you normally buy? Clothes, Lolita, Cosplay?

>>7161679
Average around RMB400, at least RMB200 for an order. Anything that I fancy, nowadays are more to cosplay materials and Lolita accessories. Wanting to do a clothing batch soon, so yeah.

>>7161679
$150-$300 including shipping.

>>7161647
yes, that's it! thank you!

>>7161679
100 USD + shipping

Clothes and little things I can't buy in my country.

shitty order.

Other times I buy more things..

>>7161679
Around $200 + shipping. Usually a mix of clothes, lolita and cosplay: basically wigs and specific stuff I can get cheaper than elsewhere/can't get elsewhere.

>>7161679
if it's an order for me, I budget 200$ + shipping or so for myself. Xmas gift orders are a lot more.

Any recomendations of stores with lots (or only) stationery stuff?

>>7161917
http://lovely-girls.taobao.com/ i just ordered some shit from here for stocking stuffers! It's all stationary.

>>7161679

My items keep getting more and more expensive but rolled up it usually is around 200 USD + shipping (40-60 USD)

http://molixia.taobao.com/

This shop has a lot of clothes resold by sheinside, romwe, etc.

>>7163748

>>7163759
Not yet but I'm planning to get a lot so I'll post my review when they arrive
