does anyone have the peterpan collar shirt that is in this photo with the cat sweater? or something similar because I want both

缩胸 (breast reduction)

>>7832001
peter pan collar? isn't that's a regular shirt collar, or are you talking about something else? and it's being sold by the same store, I saw an image link at the bottom of the page:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40884071608

I know that this is probably discussed in older Taobao threads, but I can't seem to find it. I can't figure out how to not get it to navigate to the taobao.tw site. I've tried an incognito window, changing the preferences to "Hong Kong" or "Global", but no luck. The store that I want to purchase for is not available to the Taiwanese store.

>>7832208
You have to select the Hong Kong/Global option on the TOP LEFT part of the site, the bottom does nothing. I had the same trouble.

>>7832216
Wow, that's... monumentally stupid. Why even have the buttons down there, then?

Thanks a lot, anon! The page works now.

>>7832223
I know right? I kept clicking the bottom set wondering why on earth with wasn't working.
No problem!

>>7832049
just what i was looking for, thanks so much!

Advice?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.0.0HalQ9&id=39176502248&ns=1#detail

for the brown one, does it look like the collar is a different color from the rest of the shirt...? To me it kinda looks like the collar is white, and the shirt is off-white. Anyone else think this?

Gonna repeat my question about myquanquan.taobao.com here since the last thread is autosaging. Are they decent quality? I can never tell with replicas since they sometimes show the item they're replicating in the pictures rather than the item you're actually buying.
I know they have two crowns but I've bought lackluster products from crown shops before.

>>>7830101
Anon, did you just fucking bought Circle Lenses from Taobao?!
Also, link to blonde wig and shoes in he first row?

>>7832350
Oh no no no, I bought them from a reputable site, haha.

Actually it wasn't the shoes in the picture I bought, it was the tights. But I've seen those shoes all over taobao, lemme see if I can find a link for you.
The wig is here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=38437509461

How long does taobaotrends' EMS take to get to the US? I asked last thread but didn't get an answer.

Holy shit, these contact lens cases...

>>7832481
I don't think different companies' EMS parcels take different amounts of time, if they're all from China (and probably similar distances from Beijing). The size/weight of your order and whether it's peak period should make more of a difference.

Also I'm not from the US but I think about 5-10 days if it doesn't get stuck in customs?

I always thought the same because they're based in Thailand. I hope they are because there are like four dresses I want from them and if they're custom sized on Taobao I'll be hype for days.

What are your guys' thoughts on buying houseware from Taobao? There's a few really cute water bottles that I like, but I'm not so sure that they're safe. Opinions?

>>7832703
>>7832842
the dresses and some of the skirts at the very least can definitely be found on taobao. I know an anon was looking for their tartan sets on taobao a while back and I've yet to see those around, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're available somewhere as well.

Lethes Castle

I owned that jsk but the fabric was... Gross to me. Very slick feeling and shiny. Real cheap poly. I have a blouse from them that is fine however. But that jsk I just sold off for half price without ever wearing it. Just a warning.

Can anyone toss me some links for cute lolita cardigans? I'm looking for white, specifically, and something kinda sweet maybe. Thank you in advance

Can anyone tell me where this is really from?

>>7833060

I realise this is a taobao thread, but I recognise the fabric. It's from Yuwa Live Life Collection and comes in several colours. You can find it in many places -- rakuten, etsy, ebay, random shops.

If you can sew, it might be a better alternative than waiting 5 weeks, though it probably won't be cheaper than 55USD.

>>7833340
Thanks, the fabric itself is super cute! I have no sewing skills but this is super useful for a ton of people I bet

>>7833326
Looks like Amavel, anon.

Can anyone help source this cardigan for me? I'm having issues because "sweater" translated brings up necklaces.

>>7832882
Originally from Australia but they have the same service for Hong Kong (where I am now)

It's fairly straight forward if you're familiar with Taobao. Make an account, add your items to cart.
Make an Alipay account, attach it to your taobao account.
Confirm to buy your items, pay through Alipay "Overseas" option (Hong Kong option also works - which allows you to pay with Visa/mastercard"

At checkout they will ask you if you'd like to use a shipping service (Taobao Endorsed) for a fee substantially lower than what you'd expect from a normal SS. Shipping costs are similar if not the same.

They ship to a warehouse, you "Merge" the items you want to add to your package and then submit that for shipping; pay the shipping amount and they ship it to you.

Once you've done it the first time it gets easier; if any of you are having trouble with it I have done it from both Australia and here in HK. I heard Australians can also buy Alipay cards at Australia Post too - Not sure about the US though but I'd be happy to answer any questions.

>>7833769
As a different anon, yes it works, is slightly cheaper (since there is no shopping service fee), but you have to communicate with the sellers yourself, the downside is you're even more out of luck if the item isn't as described (a decent SS checks over the items before sending it to you and can return items for refund if its shit, but good luck doing that yourself from overseas)

How to sort "by date/新品" at the normal Taobao search? There was an option for it before but since few weeks it seems to be gone while it still exists at shops, I can't figure out where it is now.

>>7832872
Forwarding anon from before but I think they added the US forwarding because Alibaba IPO went public or something in the US. Making shit more accessible to international customers and such.

>>7833769
Thanks anon for sharing your experience!

What SSs are you girls using?

The ones I usually use don't seem to be recognizing the links I'm putting in. I want to make an order but this is becoming an issue.

>>7833326
I've seen this before and I think it was either Amavel or Axes Femme.
>>7834136
Pruany is working just fine for me.

>>7834136
I use taobaotrends.

>>7834215
Taobaotrends is what I usually use, it's not recognizing my links, though?

>>7834220
Another anon had problems with tbt a few threads ago.

First shorten links.
Example:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-7434974321.55.omaens&id=36675705160

Would only need the id part:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36675705160

Then if that still doesn't work, use a different Internet browser.

This order is so weird. Excited to finally get a pair of these kind of red shoes, though. Been eyeing 'em for a while.

>>7834136
TaobaoSpree. I've never had problems with them to date and I've been using them as my main SS for about 3 years now. If you don't feel comfortable using them, I also really love Celestial Delinquent. She's more expensive but has a big variety of shipping options and has excellent english.

Instead of doing a "copy/paste link cart system" kinda SS, I'd rec doing a spreadsheet one since the links seem to be a problem.

>>7834033
You're a hero, anon.

>>7830101
Are the popo tights replicas?

>>7833400
>>7834176
Thanks, guys, when I reverse image searched nothing came up except DreamV and it wasn't the same item

>>7834033
Why would you not go for SAL or surface mail??

>>7834136
Make sure your links don't have tw.taobao, that's causing problems for people

>>7834325
Are you looking for this on Taobao or..? Because http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-209479600.28.8zzx9a&id=40227433698

>>7834385
Surface mail ends up being more expensive, and I'd prefer to get these clothes sooner since it's getting colder and all I have with me is summer clothing. Might end up getting SAL in the end though, even though it's still 150

>>7834033
wait, the shipping alone is that much? who are you using, anon? that seems exorbitant

I'm using pruany; is it really too high? this is the first time I've made such a large order for clothes, so I'm not quite sure. They said it weighed 15.2 kg, so maybe they just look deceptively light in the pictures?

>>7834958
>>7834972

>>7834136
taobaonow, they've been really nice and super fast to respond, my package also took less than a week to arrive (I'm in Europe)! This is my first order so I'm very happy with them, I've actually already placed a second.

>>7834972
You do have quite a lot of shoes though so...
>shrugs

>>7832267
I've bought some blouses from them and I'm pretty happy with them. They are regular cheap chiffon taobao quality, nothing terrible or superb.

>>7835048
huh? I only have one pair of shoes in the order

>>7835071
Oh, the rest are just socks. My bad. If it's just one pair of shoes and two bags though, I don't think it should amount to 15.2kg. Maybe more around ~10kg from the looks of it.

>>7834972
hmm. maybe the sweaters are really heavy or something. i'm a bit nervous for my next order now haha, i've never paid that much for shipping before

>>7833769
I've never had to make an alipay account personally, I dunno about that.

I have a guide up for people, tell me if I need to fix anything: tiny [get rid] url.com/taobaoshippingguide

>>7834136
If your taobao is tw.taobao, then you gotta go to the top left of the page and click pic related, a lot of things aren't available for tw.

>>7834033
I feel like your shipping is too high, though maybe the sweaters weigh a lot more than i'm estimating. I've made orders that seemed much bigger than yours (more pairs of shoes, dresses, etc) and paid less for shipping.

>>7834972
The clothes look like a decent weight, especially the mori stuff at the bottom.

>>7834033
is it including stuff youve blacked out? Or is that your entire order?

>>7835345
Nah, the stuff I blacked out is blacked out cause it wasn't included; either ordering it next time/wasn't available/seller fucked up. I think I had maybe three basic cotton blouses though (like what they wear for uniforms

>>7835334
>tiny [get rid] url.com/taobaoshippingguide
That looks about right. The reason why I use Alipay is because I have a visa card - it wasn't hard to set up but I did it last year some time so; I can't remember the details.
I can also use Alipay to pay with my octopus card (For people in HK) if I want to avoid international fees; so that's handy as well.

/r/ing some good hime gyaru shops, I looked through the spreadsheets and I didn't really come across anything spectacular.

I'm one of the transbao anons that got scammed. It was my first order from taobao, so I haven't ordered since after being a bit hurt from the experience, but I've found a few things I want to order so I'm thinking of trying again.

I'm thinking of using TaobaoRing because I really like the web cart function, but what would someone recommend for an anon that really liked tranbao except for the whole scam issue? Thanks!

>>7835558
Did you ever get your money refunded? I haven't heard much about the situation since the site first went down.

>>7835560
After waiting around 2 months after opening my claim I did, but the whole thing was really stressful as it wasn't certain if I was going to see any of it back. I'm really lucky!

Faya still tries to talk to me every now and then on Skype for some reason but every time I talk to her and ask her questions, she just gives me the same run a around excuse that they're "working on it" and shit.

Does someone have the link to that accessory shop with a lot of sweet flower things that gets posted a lot?

>>7835558
Yeah I think that tbr would be fine if you liked transbao.

I didn't order from transbao but I was messing with it before it went kerplunk. It has many similarities minus the scamming thing.

Everything finally arrived at the warehouse and I paid the shipping for it a few hours ago. Blacked out one of the items because it's a gift for a friend. But yeah! Excited!

>>7835334
I'm gonna add your link in the FAQ

>TaobaoRing

I've used TaobaoRing for 3 past order [and currently doing a fourth]. I haven't had any issues and when I have had to communicate, they've been great about quick replies and answering my noob questions.

I'm not sure if my recc is best since I haven't used any other Taobao service and I tend to buy lots of items from one shop [hahahhaha, no cosplay for me, all fan-made items because I am a dirty nerd with a need for Cherik merchandise], but as it is right now their cart system is lovely and makes shopping so much easier.

>>7834972
Pruany always overcharges on shipping for me, that's why I stopped using them.
>tfw I finally got fed up, filed a dispute for that shit, and won

Asked in the kigurumi thread but I thought I'd try here too. Has anyone bought a kigurumi off taobao and can tell me how much they weigh? I want to buy one (that I can't find on aliexpress or ebay) but I want to make sure that shipping won't be crazy first.

>>7835790
Please share, anon, how did you file a dispute and what did you say?

I've been seeing this similar kind of art around Taobao, but I don't know how to look for it. Reminds me of 80s stationary/cartoons for girls (Popples comes to mind)

Also, what is the difference between regular Taobao and "TMall"? Will a shopping service buy from there? I'm asking because I saw the link to Good Smile's TMall and I'm not sure if its legit or not http://goodsmile.tmall.com/?spm=a220o.1000855.w5001-2874329796.2.uO0z1B&&scene=taobao_shop

>>7830101
Here from the previous thread, my order arrived about an hour ago!

Some people were wondering about services in the thread and I'd like to give my input if it's ok. I used taobaonow and everything went perfectly. The staff was very attentive and quick to respond/order. I'm in Ireland and this shipped from China on the 16th. So this was incredibly quick! I weighed the package when it came and it was the same weight as taobaonow had quoted me, incase that's important to you.
Everything was also packaged really well and safely.

Someone was asking me about the mirai wig. Well, the colour is a bit different than it looks, it's much pinker than in photos. I actually thought that they sent me the wrong wig at first. But really when you put it on it looks really good! The quality is really nice too, it's very soft but sturdy. The shape is lovely, too. I'd recommend picking it up if you're thinking about it.

>>7835558
>>7835775
I like TBR too, although I don't have experience with other SSs. SS's? Sssss
Anyway communication is great but they sometimes need a bit of prodding when they're busy with lots of orders.

>>7835872
Afaik Tmall is for legit brands that have their online store on Taobao, so they're even more reliable than regular Taobao shops.

>>7836000
How are the star tights? Are they very sheer?

>>7835558
Another taobaoring user here. I've had friends who did orders deal with Pruany, taobaonow, yoybuy, and taobaospree. Though, when I went to taobaoring, and recommended it to them, they've all pretty much stuck with TBR, saying they liked it a bit more.

>>7836013
Yeah they're incredibly sheer. I actually haven't worn them yet because I'm too nervous of tearing them. But they are really cute! I'll buy some more in my next order since they're so cheap.

Okay, probably a dumb question.
I'm interested in a few things from To Alice. Some of the stuff looks like pre-order and other stuff looks like it's not out yet at all. Could someone explain to me what I need to do to get my grubby little hands on these two blouses? I have no experience with pre-orders.

>>7836049
These are so cute! Could I get a link?

>>7836061
>>7830101 →
here, I already made a preorder on ToAlice a few days ago so I can share what I learned.

Pretty much, if you see items that are like 8888, 9999, 888 etc that's the seller's way of saying they are sold out or not available, this is a taobao thing. So on ToAlice they are showing off a lot of their designs but these aren't for sale as yet.
ToAlice is not 1 person's boutique, as far as I can tell it's a collective of lots of different sellers on taobao, I've browsed a lot of shops that have drawings of clothes and then in the description link to ToAlice preorders. So maybe ToAlice is a group of friends or maybe a company that will make designs for you? I don't really know.
Anyway, see that first shirt? That's a 30Y deposit. In the description it tells you the full price, which is 55Y. So you pay the 30Y deposit first and the 55Y later. But that's if you're buying directly, the SS will ask you for the total up front. So that shirt costs 85Y.
This is also shipping on the 2nd of october, if you are thinking of preordering then do it quickly. I tried preordering that pink coat in my pic and ToAlice told my SS it was unavailable now, it was supposed to ship on the same date.

I think you try 'witch cos' it'll pop up. I don't remember the specific term but it was 'witch' something. Also try the term for InuYasha.

Can someone help me find a better term for legend of zelda cosplays? I'm looking for sheik, ghirihim, and the mask sales man, but the series name in the dictionary only brings up one zelda cosplay.

Are you sure? I just used taobaoring's calculator and they come out to around 230 for 15.2 kg, as well. Although Taobaoring does only say they have 45% off compared to pruany's supposed 55%...
Any ideas on how to appeal and fix this shipping price issue?

>>7834972

A while ago I bought some stuff from Taobao with Pruany and they put the decimal in the wrong place in the weight. It was only 1.39kg but they tried to get me to pay for 13.9kg of shipping. I got them to recheck it, maybe see if that's what it is?

Are there any rockabilly/pinup type shops other than babywinny?

I just saw buychina post of this and they had it tagged with taobao but no link. Does anyone might have an idea what store has it?

>>7838054
I'm not sure if that's the issue, since I'm fairly sure that my items are at least 9kg, but i'll ask them to recheck it, thanks!

>>7834415
Yes, thanks! I had seen it on storenvy and was trying to either find the original piece it was based on or the taobao version

>>7838088
found this the other day: http://twang.taobao.com/
and there's also http://magic-q.taobao.com/, but they're kind of a modernist take on retro, and their prices are insane. but it's nice to look at, at the least.

>>7837855
I'm not 100% sure taobao sellers really differentiate between fake or real - you'll probably just have to parse through the results yourself to make sure. there will be the obvious ones like pheasant feathers, which obviously come off the bird, but I was looking through a description for generic white ones that may or may not have come from waterfowl. it's not super clear a lot of the time.

>>7838040
Oh my bad, it was 20kg instead of 22. But yes, that's definitely the amount I paid (pic related).

Maybe ask them to take a picture of the package on the scale to make sure the weight is correct?

>>7838412
I messaged them about re-weighing my items and they said something about the weights being estimates and that they'd adjust the price if it was different afterwards and refund me.... not sure if I should just agree and pay.
How long ago was your order?

>>7836155
>>7836171
>>7836219
This made me laugh a lot for some reason

>>7838442
If the box is a different size it might cost more. They have refunded me the difference before on shipping though (different anon)

First time buying anything for myself through taobao (I once got a cosplay for my boyfriend for our anniversary, I don't really count that one).

Tiny order, but I'm really excited. The book bag is nice and big (judging by feedback photos) which I'm really excited about. :P

So I wanted to split an order on Spreenow so that the items that had arrived could be shipped before the holiday. I made a new 'Shipment' with just those items but do I just have to wait for the quote now? The items in the shipment have changed to 'locked'.

I told my agent I'd made the new shipment and she just said pic related. Should I ask explicitly for the quote and hope I get a less... patronising response?

>>7838588
One of my shipments has been stuck at queued for packing for something close to two weeks now. I wish you luck in getting them to move faster.

man, if only pruany had a better cart system and combined orders... their packaging is so good, and they're cheaper, but with stock not being guaranteed I like being able to combine.

>>7838595
Fuck, really?

Never using Spreenow again after this, the whole site is so needlessly complex like >>7836243 said, the order has taken forever and now I find out the agent isn't all that helpful either.

>>7838601
Yeah, I'm only sticking with it because I got in when they were doing the 8% fee promotion but I've found them to be far more responsive on taobaonow than their new spreenow system.

>>7838442
Relatively recently -- I only received the package a week or two ago. Looking at your order it seems only roughly half the weight of mine, so I don't understand why the shipping is so high.... Might be worth asking them to do a more accurate weighing if they can (though god knows trying to communicate with them can be frustrating sometimes). Good luck anon!

>>7838530
Do you have the link for the shoes, bag and sweater?

>>7838597
Can't you just put everything in the same order and split the shipping ? You can always add items to your order even after you've paid for it as long as you add money to your balance.

>>7838530
I have that book bag and it's quite large- heavy as well. However I don't much like the color so I'll probably get rid of it in the end...

Smelled a bit of plastic when it arrived, but that faded after using it a few days. My new fave drink bottle now :)

I really need more long sleeves and pastel...

can confirm, once all items came in through taobaonow it took them 24 hours to quote me shipping and once i paid I got a tracking number in 24 hours and the tracking number started working on the usps site 48 hours after that. so 4 days ish.

Got my name less poem
I'm really excited. A little disappointed that the non embroidered version didn't have the detailing on the cuffs or belt, but that makes it a bit more versatile

Going to try it on. Hope the medium isn't too big

Except for the wig and snivy doll, everything will arrived on my hand in a few day. So excited about deer beret. > <

sauce on the first one and the blue-gradient-sea-whatever skirt?

How do you guys keep your whishlists organized and visual? I'm kinda OCD when it comes to organizing. I still haven't found a way to neatly display all the stuff I want in one spreadshet that lets me see pictures of the items I want. Only pasting links and text can be tidy but I really need to be able to see a pic of the item. So that I can choose when it comes to deciding what to buy and what not. My spreadsheets are on GoogleDrive, and pasting images there is a pain in the ass cause you have to upload them one by one. Pinterest is more visual, but it's not as organized as a spreadsheet. Keeping everything in organized bookmarks folders is dumb too because you have no visual overview of all the stuff unless you open all the windows.
Gah, help? Opinions?

>>7839620
Holy shit anon
thanks so much
i have been waiting my whole life for a mucha print

>>7841003
I have a word document where I copy and paste a picture, and then add the link and price underneath it. It's not the neatest thing in the world, but it's quick and efficient. Usually I post general things in one document a year, but if I'm planning an outfit for cosplay or lolita I use separate docs for each. Doesn't seem neat enough for you to do it though.

>>7841037
Did you miss the surface spell one and the IW one?

My package just got to the US. Should I be worried that it went through customs or is that a normal thing?

any store suggestions for these type of clogs?

>>7841003
Excel file which keeps tracks of the total cost as well as the link with a brief description and +, ++ or +++ depending on how much I want it at the moment. When it comes time to actually order, I go through the whole thing again to see if I still want those items.

I know your pain. I'm the same height, and I have to pay for custom sizes just for length for lolita and cosplay. I'm thin enough to fit into most things from taobao, but I have to pass up on so many cute skirts and dresses. Is there anything in particular that you're looking for? I can look through my past orders and recommend things when I get home.

If anyone's interested in tights,stockings, socks, etc. There's this store here.

Aw Anon, we're in this together <3
I'm looking for cutesy clothes such as skirts and dresses, it's important that a few of them can be worn to work. The style I like is "soft sister" (where the crap does that name come from anyways?) clothes, but nothing will ever fit :/ Also really dig Amavel, Dream V or Liz Lisa styled stuffs, I'm perfectly fine with knock offs.
For work related clothes I have a terribly soft spor fot Dabuwawa -> http://www(.)dabuwawa(.)com/ but it's all so freaking short I can only look at their tops section.
Also, pastel and lacy tights that are wearable for my height.
For Lolita, I like to spend more money on main pieces such as dresses and skirts, so I buy brand (mostly IW and classic brands which is great for the lenght issue!) . The only Lolita I buy on Taobao is accesories, shoes (If I find any in size 12 -_-) and tops.

Can someone tell me whether this preorder is limited? Or will they sell it normally after its release? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-6259128031.8.bXCPMk&id=41090348053 I can't find the answer with google translate.

I'm on a quest for brown classic lolita hair accessories and a long black veil. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Does anyone have any insight on how to register for an AliPay account?

I've got it set up to American, but it's asking for my name (and passport number), which someone said I should use a Chinese name that matches with my Taobao account, which doesn't make any sense to me since I need to include my passport number.

>>7841391
Actually anon the preorder for that is finished (I tried preordering it myself a few days ago) but the good news is that now it's for sale for full price now as a regular item since the shipment must have come in.

>>7842449
Can you make a taobao account without a chinese phone number, actually? I'd love to be able to wishlist some stuff.

>>7841372
Pay them, or get shit marked down. And don't use EMS, it always gets hit

>>7842470
Deleting my post because I was being dumb. Google searching to the rescue.

I'm not too sure, anon. I live in China right now and have a Chinese phone number so I was able to set it up without having to jump through any hoops.

AliPay security for initial setup can be bypassed by making a Taobao account first, which automatically registers an AliPay account for you without having to jump through the hoops of verifying your identity.

>>7842470
No problem, you have the option of choosing your country (if it is listed). I'm from France, so it automatically added the +33 in front of my number and I received their text without any trouble.

I feel kinda bad since you're so frustrated but the agent's response really made me laugh.

To try and save on shipping a little I'm going to probably end up using Registered Air Mail. Does anyone have any experience with this method? Has it been reliable? I know it takes a little bit longer than EMS, but I'm totally fine with that.
I'm going to be using TaobaoTrends, if that's any help!

Okey so I have a problem. It has never happened before. Whenever I try to browse taobao, the URL changes from "taobao.com" to "tw.taobao.com".

Posted this in a previous thread, but I changed a few things and just added everything I'm ordering.
A friend referred me to mistertao for the 50% shipping discount, but so far I sent my order in yesterday and they haven't done anything yet.

The two gifts and pink seifuku I made a small order with my usual agent, Taobaotrends and they already ordered it.
I'm so nervous about how much the shipping is going to be, but whatever it is It will be halved and sent by SAL because let's face it, EMS and SAL get to me at the same time but one cost less.

>oh no your shit might break during shipping, its better to just not buy it

The logic is so simple, you have to be retarded.

>>7843867
I'm not a part of this but are you saying you shouldn't buy chinawear online because it might break?? Because the same could be applied to electronics, plastic jewellery, etc. and you sound really stupid.

>>7843873
Most shopping services won't buy it for you, plus there is a high chance of it being full of led.

Okay I'm not in the discussion either but you do you actually think dropping plastic jewellery on the floor will break it, like it breaks glassware?????

Electronics tend to be pretty sturdy too, but you lose out on warranties when buying overseas which is why I don't tend to buy them from taobao

either way, there was no need for the hostility

What the fuck do your metaphors even mean? You sound so fucking moronic. Is all that sand in your vagina blocking your ability to speak/think like a normal person?

Well, could someone translate this for me please. Thank you kind anon.

Any good shops for gothic or classic lolita bags? I mainly see sweet.

>>7843896
Cheers anon.

sauce on the second shirt and the go to hell shirt?

I'm looking for a cosplay of Tobi from the game "Catherine". So far I had no luck in finding even the chinese translation fpr the game's title (wikipedia and baka updates failed me).

Can anyone offer advice? Maybe someone else tried to find an outfit from the game trough taobao?

>>7844245
why don't you make it yourself?

>>7844245
it's stupidly easy, you can even take to a seamstress if you don't want to bother looking for a blue jumpsuit...

I'm not sorry.

>>7844245
I don't think it was ever released in China? I couldn't find the name either. You can probably ask an SS (taobaospree is good for that) for a place to make it custom for cheap on taobao, I've done that before.

Some people don't have the time, space, or desire to make cosplay. This is the taobao thread, so it's a valid place to ask if they can just buy one.

Are there any keywords I could use to find costumes in kid's sizes in specific?
Look for a chibi moon or maybe sailor mars costume for my little sister.
I've found http://tw.taobao.com/item/40362072109.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a230r.1.14.142.NKWiMJ%2Ca230r.1.14.142.NKWiMJ&ns=1%2C1#detail
So far, but the quality doesn't look amazing.
I don't think I can do custom sizing since that would take way too long.

sauce on the blonde wig please?

>>7844517
I know it's not taobao but I found this on ebay and it's child size http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sailor-Chibi-Usa-Cosplay-Costume-Uniform-Dress-Sailormoon-Customized-XXS-XXXL-/191202981895?pt=US_Costumes&var=&hash=item2c8495f807
I'm sure you could ask for them to make it a priority to get it done faster??

>>7844536
I saw that one too but that's still shipping from China, so I think the shipping would take as long anyway plus it's more expensive.
Procrastination is bad guise.
All chibiusa wigs look so poopy. Might just get her a normal pink pony-tail wig without the weird odango things.

Talking about Sailor Moon...
Does anyone know any shop that sells knock off/factory direct SM merchandise?
I just can't justify throwing out so much money for bandai's plastic cheapo crap

I can't get the link to work but if you just look up go to hell shirt on taobao it will show up.
>>7844518
It's not a blonde wig, it's a Taiga Aisaka wig.

Going to try to cut it down a bit more before ordering.
