/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>8092521
Got some odds and ends coming at me. The red dress I actually ordered in black. The tights just came in and they're gorgeous. I'm afraid to even put them on yet.

I've been waiting for months on a custom etsy thing, too.

>>8092547
Where'd you get the superhero mashup sweater dress thing?

>>8092573

I don't love Romwe and I have a link to eBay too if you want it, but it was cheaper here. Add in those coupons they offer new members and your shipping is free as well.

I'm excited for it. This sweater's wacky as fuck.

>>8092547
where are the rights from? They look nice!

>>8092680
They're Grimoire tights!

Is japan going through a financial dip right now? The currency rate is pretty nice atm.

>>8092795
> tfw can't profit much from it because CAD is dropping as well

Just waiting on the rings and wig.

Of course when I order a bunch of cosmetics and we get a snow storm in Chicagoland AKA I'm gonna have to unfreeze the mail box again.

>>8092816
PLS
EVERY TIME YOU REMIND ME, I CRY.

>>8092816
Sorry, maple friends. I had a friend mention this when she was ordering from Bad Dragon yesterday.

>>8092832
WE CRY TOGETHER.

Updated haul.
I'm trying to channel the flasco blog with the jacket and bustier.

>>8092734
I caved and won two more items on Ebay. So much for saving up for the Bodyline sale.

I'm getting 3 items soon (I hope)
I've never had to wait this long for my package to get here. My SS used EMS and it left Hong Kong on the 23rd ... usually it's here within 4-5 days. Not that worried, but impatient since I ordered this in december. I feel a mighty need to coordinate these items.

All these arrive today. + infanta rose crochet looking capelet in red.

Disappointed in the red headband.
Anyone want any reviews?

>>8097192
Can you review the white rose veil? I'm considering the one in black. What do you think of ciciwork in general from the things you ordered?

>>8097237
For the price ($12?) its extremely worth it. It looks like the stock photos. I didnt realize it but the roses have like beads sewn on to look like dew drops. Now that i look closer to the stock photo i kinda see it. The thing about the white one is everything is a creme color except the feather and the rose color is a little more yellow which is a little annoying because im planning on pairing it with nameless poem. I found three great reviews on youtube of the black rose veil which is what inspired me to get it in white.

as for Cici i would buy from again. the 100% wool berets are made in Korea which i found really funny. Everything was nice im kinda iffy on the white two way rose clip because of the gap in between the bottom ribbons but those are shown in the stock photos.... Also my SS was concerned about it being a two way so she asked if i wanted it an alligator clip or brooch... i said brooch but it ended up being a two way anyway.
The red headband was the most regret able. Im lucky the beret matches the skirt i was trying to match but this red headband is a brighter red. The third rose is really small compared to the bigger two. Mine was way too far centered unlike the stock photo. It looks really stupid worn. It was the same price as the veil and its alot worse in quality... but the pearls are detachable are a plus.

Over all id say its at least what you pay for it + some. Look at the stock photos really well.As for color most of its accurate except for the red headband. She uses pretty good quality. Im no expert in fabrics but the roses are really nice. Theyre not the shitty ones that will fray. Theyre velevety on the inside.

Also the freebie was from ciciwork and it looks like some scraps they threw together on a headband. The stars and ribbons are cute just the base headband is just skimpy lace on a cheapy headband unlike the veil and red rose headband where quality work was done.

>>8097237
I bought headwear and this dress from ciciworks. Both were pretty good. The dress isn't brand quality, but it is very pretty. Did not have any loose strings or odd structure. My headband had no traces of glue and was well made.

>>8097192
Oo... I ordered the cream crown bow too, pic and review?

I recently ordered a bunch of miscellaneous bullshit, but none of it is /cgl/

Recently however I got a yowamushi pedal jersey. I need some cycling clothes and I might end up cosplaying someone from it if I can't think of anyone to cosplay. The whole jersey is actually really good.

Sorry for repost from last thread but..

Shit anon you have good taste, let's be friends.

>>8097720
Where have you been my whole life, anon

Baby's first Taobao order. I used Bhiner since they seemed pretty easy and I'm hoping that doesn't bite me in the ass.

>>8097741
Apparently just waiting for you to post your toy order. Now you're going to tell me you also love Guilty Gear/Megaman/Breath of Fire or something. (BTW my throwaway skype is in the name field)

Here's to hoping everything goes well.

Just got the tracking number for it this morning! It's supposed to get here on friday, which would be awesome so I can wear it for a meetup on saturday...

"You should be saving money for college!"
hahahaha no

aliexpress is killing me.

>>8099647
sauce on socks, collared blouse bellow socks, and egg pullover?

Received most of this yesterday, still waiting on bag, exercise gear and new phone (thanks work, I was allowed to pick whatever phone I wanted). So happy!

>>8099652
seconding those socks! i really need a pair like that!

>>8099647

Alas the white one is out of stock so I'm getting a red one instead.

>>8099656

> (thanks work, I was allowed to pick whatever phone I wanted)

you are such a special snowflake aren't you

i hope you die poor.

>>8099721
Wut, at least they're appreciative to their work place about it. Why are you overreacting to a harmless post?

>>8099727

1st its a shit phone to begin with
2nd can't be humble but "i um specul"
3rd her statement was unnecessary, so shall be mine.

It's you whose overreacting just the same for replying

>>8099736
Wait, I assumed your first post was more of a sarcastic joke type thing but now I think you're actually serious? Are you literally that autistic or are you just really bad at joking with people over the internet?

You need to take your catty ass and your sandy vagina outside for a breath of fresh air.

>>8099656
bag source please!!!!

>>8099736
Not either of the anons you're talking to but good lord, you have no sense of self-awareness, do you? Or you just don't care how sad you sound.

>>8099739

its you whose salty to a troll, you could have ignored the joke all together but you had to white knight your way up OPs cunt.
pull up you frilly knickers and actually get out and live for a moment.

>>8099748

Cunts tend to get dry over winter, have you moisturized yours yet?

>>8099736
>>8099748
You don't sound like you're joking, you sound like you're massively upset because she got to chose her work phone and you didn't.

>>8099748
>I'm just PRETENDING to be retarded, guys! Lol trolled u!
Is that what this is? If it was a joke or a troll, they sure did make an ass of themselves. There's a difference between trolling and acting like a retard, you know.

>>8099752
Oh when I'm insulting that's taboo but you can do it? Another special snowflake huh?
Implying your opinion matters. This thread will die and so will we all. Nothing of value was lost

>>8099760
hun, please close your browser. you're embarrassing yourself.

>>8099751

Everyone is upset here, does it matter? No.

>>8099762

So are you, next.

>>8099762
But what if they can't recover their tabs later? That certainly wouldn't be a risk I'd be willing to take.

Postal scale, long black wig, and wig head should be arriving this week.

>>8099721
What? Someone's bitter.

>>8099721
Yep, I sure am.

>>8099740
It's from zatchels.com, they make them to order so you have to wait a while.

>>8097757
Link for the black veil with the red roses?

>>8092521
Small lot of stuff which should arrive soon. Had to postpone another order because of issues with my shopping service. The wig ended up being a substitute for another I ordered which was lost in the post so it wasn't exactly the one I wanted...my search for a nice blonde wig with soft curls continues...

pic related just arrived, very very good quality, not a let down, still need to order the stick, crown and little snowman though

>>8097192
Oh shoot, anon, if you don't like your burgundy headbow, I could possibly buy it off of you. I've been trying to match a lucky pack jsk that didn't come with a matching bow and unfortunately, it doesn't have waist ties to convert into a matching headbow.

Too lazy to make a collage

IW order --> one item, just shipped, tracking not working
taobao order --> 4 items, shipped yesterday, tracking not working
AP order --> 4 items, cleared customs, should be here in a couple of days.

I hope to heck the taobao tracking clears up soon and isn't part of some kind of CNY-related snafu.

Super excited about the IW order since it's the princess-sleeved bolero in L size, so it should fit and it should be fabulous.

I may have to throw together some small hair accessory for two of my outfits because I forgot to buy some.

Sweet jesus I have never been so excited for mail. I love receiving packages in the mail.

>>8092547
review on these tights once you've worn them please, anon?

>>8094845
those earrings are dope

Waiting on a lot right now
Milky Cross JSK + 2 HB + necklace and ring + wonderfully tacky cross bag
Perfume of Wonderland
Celestial + bonnet + socks

The months will not pass quick enough

The feeling of regret when you realize how much you have bought that requires so much more purchases for a full coord.

;v;) would like it to come before CNY

>>8099656
Source for the grey jacket please?

>>8100352
Postal scale is out for delivery! The rest of my items are either in the USA some where or haven't left China yet.

>tfw 75lbs postal scale for $15

>>8101650
My ouji-sis! Please tell me how those Bodyline pants are when you get them.

Fuck. Yes. FINALLY

>>8103252
Uggggh, yeah, that's it. That coat is fucking sexy.

>>8101567

Oh great. The chinese EMS tracking site is now on the loop and has been endlessly loading since this morning no matter how many times I refresh.

Just needed a place to vent about that. At least my AP order arrived and I should be getting it from my housemate tonight.


>>8101660
Oh, man, I forgot that I'm still waiting on Celestial preorder and the JetJ Unicorn fix

>>8101709

I'm kinda curious if you're Chinese (I am, and my mom would throw a mini shockfit if I bought that for CNY because a top like that is so outdated and I should be dressing more modern, lol. I wonder if it's just my mom who thinks like that though)

>>8101707
That black blouse looks lovely. Review/link when it arrives?

>>8103748
The design looks so cheap lmao.

>>8103858
I already have the same one in a different color. The black one was sold out with infanta so I got it for more money from a reseller.
So I really love it. It's flattering on my waist which is proportionally small. It has nice lacing on the back. The fabric is very thin though. The one issue are the button holes on the sleeves. I had to open those to get my hand through and it took like 10 minutes. They were cut way too small for the buttons. Overall I'd recommend the blouse if you don't need something thick or long. Defintely worth the price.

>>8104026
The reseller was jill_punkxloli on ebay. Infanta has a taboos store and is resold by mylolitadress and others.

>>8101910
Those are actually for my boyfriend haha. We're working on a lolita/ouji duo coord, but since they are being delivered to my address, I wouldn't mind reviewing them anyways. We're roughly the same size.

Not quite /cgl/ related but it's for my artist alley stuff and general crafting.

Ordered from eBay on Jan 23rd, and received them yesterday Feb 5, so that was quite fast! I ordered quite a few of the tiny glass ones (the jars don't come with the ball stuff), and they were packed very nicely. The star ones are cute as fuck, I forgot how small they were gonna be.

Still waiting on a bunch of craft eyes for plushies, ordered on the same day.

>>8104389
How ever did you get all those little bottles in once piece? I'd be terrified in case they broke!

>>8104397
Not that anon but I've ordered bottles like on the left from Ebay and they came really well padded.

>>8104397
Pretty much what >>8104400 said, I think because they are so tiny, the glass is thicker so it's more durable during transit.

For the regular tiny jars, since I got 30 of them, they were packed 10 in a bubble wrap pocket, and then that goes into a ziplock bag per bubble wrap. For the stars I got 15, and they were packed 5 a bubblewrap/ziplock thing too. I was very surprised and happy by how small the box was, I thought it was the craft eyes I ordered but nope. Not a crack in the glass or a cork missing, they were all inspected so I'm pretty happy with the seller.

http://www.ebay.ca/usr/jewelry*diy?_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2754 in case anyone is interested, it's where I bought those stuff from.

>>8104389
I didn't realize the coinpurse snap thing was actually a coinpurse snap at first. I thought you had ordered some weird fetish gear...

just ordered this.
soon I will be cozy without being too hot.

>>8104408
The glass is definitely thicker. I have one as a keychain on my phone and it's been dropped several times on wood and cement and never broken. Hasn't even cracked.

>>8104431
That's reassuring to hear, I'm still planning on testing one to see how it handles everyday wear. Hoping to wrap some metal findings around the bottle neck than screw stuff in the cork, it makes me nervous that the screw can break out of the cork, or worse.

>>8105184
Same anon here but I used a liberal amount of super glue around the cork before I pushed it into the bottle. Works really good. I've got screw-in pieces to attach my straps to the charm and it works great for me and so far it's lasted a good 5-6 months plus being in and out of purses and dropped onto tables and stuff.

>>8103748
I am of HK background but we live in a western country but I showed my parents and they said it was nice and that it was a tad too short. But nothing else really.

Ridiculously excited to received my January haul. Just a few more days.

>>8105258

Hm, interesting. Thanks!

(I live in Asia and everything with a mandarin collar is kinda going extinct, so it's refreshing to see someone Asian in a western country would like to wear it.)

All on its way.

I live in Australia, but with the chickens apparently they're licensed in each respective region.

So I saw some on tokyo otaku mode:

But as I live in Australia I could not buy it, which lead me to trying to find it elsewhere. In the UK you can get it from:

I'm just gonna separate my preorders into whatever I'm expecting for that month only.

Urghhh I've purchased a classical puppet petticoat but since the 22nd of January it's been stuck saying it's at the airport in china
this is the longest I've had a tracking number get stuck

On a nicer note I also have magical etoile in red (apron skirt ver) coming in the next couple days

hi seagulls, I ain't a regular but I occasionally lurk, read a thread the other say about hair and one anon recommended coal tar shampoo for psoriasis that caused dandruff. I had some arrive in the mail a few days ago (hence posting in this thread) and it's bloody magic in a bottle.

So thanks /cgl/, despite all your shit, you're alright.

Small aliexpress order with some birthday money.

Mini haul~
Left is to be shipped, and right is in the mail. Much hype.

I seriously need to ease up.

Anon, you're the one that bought the chocolate beret after CC posted it in 1 minute, aren't you???

Y-yes that was me. I'm not certain of the name, but it's Mary Magdelene and it was listed as "Velveteen corsage hat"

>>8099760
It must be really hard being 14, I remember it well, you'll grow out of it and realise that not everyone in the world is out to get you, honest.

I've had a $70+ Korean skincare order stuck at "ORIGIN POST IS PREPARING SHIPMENT" for like 8 days now and I'm starting to freak out

My last order just randomly showed up in decent time despite the tracking status, and we did just have that massive storm (east coast USA) so I shouldn't be worried, but I am full of anxiety.

And my group order ($150+ with my coworkers) got a tracking number on the 1st but hasn't actually finished processing yet. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. JUST GIMME MY DAMN SHEET MASKS.

>>8101707
That's why I tend to buy things I know will work with what I already have

Sadly I didn't get my order.
>I ordered a pair of boots from Galstar's rakuten shop 2 weeks ago
>they got within my area last Saturday
>Checked the tracking that morning and it said undeliverable to address
>Went to US postal office that day and they said it still on the truck and they'd leave a note for them
>Checked back that Tuesday, they still couldn't find it
>Checked again Thursday, was told that my package was returned to sender on Saturday and the previous people didn't know what they were talking about
>Got a call Friday restating what they said Thursday and that there was no apartment # on address
And this is the second time I've had a package returned to a Rakuten shop. A few weeks before I ordered from Galstar I had ordered boots from Dreamv and the same thing happened except the package got stopped in Chicago( I live in Michigan) and were returned to the shop because the address was screwed up. And I know it wasn't me because my address was filled out properly when I ordered both times. I even went back and checked and it all looked good. So I guess I have to use a shopping service now because this whole process has been frustrating.

>>8107100
Sauce on 2nd down from the left? I've seen bodyline use that fabric

>>8099647

sauce on the poncho?

First time posting in the mail thread. This is is also my first time shopping on Taobao/ordering food (that's not pizza) online. I am more than willing to provide links on anything/give reviews.

The shopping service I used was Taobaonow. Nothing has arrived yet because the petticoat I ordered has yet to arrive at their location? Also Lockshop is taking forever. (Orders were placed almost 2 weeks ago. Still not shipped.

The macarons came in 2 days but they charged 34$ for shipping (2 day shipping was the only option the offered), which I'm not complaining because I need these for my Disney trip tomorrow anyways. I will review them taste/package wise if anyone is curious(Tried 2). Almost everything else has shipped.~

Ordered a Persona 4 school jacket for a cosplay. Really hope it turns out well.

Also just got some fake piercings for same cosplay.

>>8107354
Galstar poster here, has anyone else had problems ordering through Rakuten shops or any other Japanese shop that ships internationally?

All the wigs are still in China and I'm hoping they'll reach NYC before everything shuts down over there for the holidays.

Just ordered the Bodyline dress today and I'm going to be pissed if Mr.Yan knocks down prices anymore.

Went to the Sailor moon earring seller on Ebay to buy more stuff and they've shut down early for CNY. All their listings are gone, which sucks. Definitely keep that in mind if anyone else is ordering stuff from China through Ebay.

>>8107656
Ebay. Seller I got them from shut down for CNY. Just search 'sailor moon earrings' and a ton pop up.

>>8101657
Really nice. Not too long, but not quite as short as some Asian one size tights. The only brand tights I can compare them to are AP's MRC tights. Grimoire's are longer and the dark pattern fades less.

>>8107347
sauce on 3rd dress?

Newfag here, is Aliexpress easy and reliable? I suck buying things online and I'm afraid of paying in case my money gets eaten somehow.
Any European seagulls with experiences?

>>8107687
Ali is easy to use but reliability depends on which store you buy from. It's like eBay in the sense that you have good and bad sellers, always check feedback

>>8103258
I missed it two years ago for a really good price (12800 yen) so when I saw it for slightly more but still a good price I bought it. Getting Roland off the Japanese market is so much better than the Western one...

I would love to twin with my fellow seagulls.

DreamV items should be here today, and I just paid shipping on the taobao order, as well as the Queen Cat dress. It's my first Enchantlic Enchantilly piece, I'm so excited to finally have a cute cat dress!

>>8107684
It's HMHM, which I've been really pleased with the quality in the past. I've been waiting 3 weeks for my order to complete, everything's ready except for my HMHM order, and it's killing me, I just know I'll have to wait until after cny, literally the worst.

Valentines gift to myself.

Got shipped someone else's order after buying from Aliexpress. The person I ordered from wants me to play tradesies with the other girl who got my order. I've never ordered anything from Ali before so can anyone with experience tell me my chances of actually getting the stuff I ordered and how likely I'll be compensated for shipping across country?

Doll shit, some me shit and a kigurumi
Also have a doll head out being painted.
The green eyes are a derp photoshop of how I expect the custom eyes to look.
I think I will start a taobao order and book a hotel for my next con while I am blowing money like water.
>Getting a new doll is suffering, she needs everything and then I have to buy something for my other doll too because why not
>I am also debating on $80 worth of fabric
>And I found mini fucking rocking horse shoes with fucking heart buckles my lolita doll fucking needs them fuck but they are $45+$25shipping I could buy shoes for me for that but but HEART BUCKLES.

Want to be penpals instead? :>

>>8092547
Probably a little late for this, but sauce on the red dress with the gold stuff on it?

>>8100527
Where is that dress from?

>>8107441
No they aren't. They only come in two sizes. I'm 5'8" and it fits really nicely.

>CNY is coming
>one item sorted through Guangzhou has already reached NYC
>75% of items purchased before said one item all sorted through Hangzhou
>100% of items sorted through Hangzhou still haven't reached NYC

Please don't let my items be stuck in the CNY void.

>>8097518
So so so late but here you go... Its amazing quality for the price.I would buy it for $20+ if didnt know it was taobao.. The lace is nice and soft but it doesnt look like it was burned at the edges so possibly can start fraying after too much handling (probably the only flaw). the crown looks alot better then bodyline but maybe not VW quality. I just noticed there is a small bow on the backside of the crown.. maybe to cover glue that was showing?

>>8112250
I mean $20 if like some brand was slapped to it/ it was an indie brand/at a craft fair or kon

>>8112256
sorry Phone photos

>>8112256
thanks for the review, i'm gonna nab one now!

Missed delivery for the bottom today...hoping to have time to stop by the post office tomorrow to pick them up.

So I just got a message saying my package was ready for shipment but it sounds like a skirt I ordered is way too small from the size I ordered, is there anything I can do at this point? Soooo irritating, I was so excited for it too.

>>8107439
Taobao brand To Alice. They were too small unfortunately. However they were perfectly fine shoes, no obvious glue remains, leather looks good, embroidery is well done and they are pretty damn cute.

>>8103858
Oh yeah and the black one arrived. My review still stands however I don't like the buttons it it. They have crowns on them and are really, really shiny. I will probably replace them myself.

I've never bought Ozz On before, so I have no clue what the jacket set will be like.

>>8112701
A+ taste anon, holy shit

>>8112701
How much of that Ozz On picture did you get? Looks like three separate pieces?

Waiting on these to come. Hopefully the skirt will be nice.

>>8112754
Thanks anon!

>>8112777
Just the two beige pieces. One is a long vest and the other is a cropped jacket. Pic related.

>>8112701
It'll be nice. I got some ozz on for the first time recently and I'm utterly in love. Kicking myself over not just jumping on a couple pieces that are now gone from their website, but I'm sure they'll do similar stuff again soon.

>>8112292
Link to the brown dress?

>>8111868
Laurence Lolita on Taobao
http://laurencelolita.taobao.com/
This dress was on reserve so I don't think it's available any more but they have some others in a similar style

Finally got my shit from Comiket. Thank you based SuToCorp for holding it for so long.

>>8113164
What's that machine? Also more pics of everything?

>>8113170
The machine is actually a takoyaki maker. I wanted to bring one for anime conventions (especially for Acen because I'm on a takoyaki kick lately) but the Embassy said it was against policy to use things like this in your room (so I'm stuck with buying a microwave one instead.)

>>8112785
Sauce on gloves?

>>8113199

Bowls.

>>8113208

>>8113217
Bear with me it's a lot of photos and things to go through. The item in the middle is suppose to be
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/151701

And the other one is: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/192402

>>8113235

>>8113199
>it was against policy to use things like this in your room
uuuh. no...

what kind were you trying to buy?

also at this point just buy fucking frozen.

>>8113320
>uhhh, no....

It was. I called the Embassy and asked could I use a Takoyaki maker in my room (the same as picture related,) and they kindly told me no. I forgot the specific reason why.

People do still bring rice cookers and things in their hotel room but yes it's against policy at the hotel here in O'hare/Rosemount and they can kick you out if you are caught with it.

>What kind were you trying to buy?
The one picture related. I was going to buy the microwave one because they said that was ok to use.

>Just buy fucking frozen.
Nah it's cheaper to just make my own. I can buy the mix and the whole thing for less than $10 and make a batch.

>Inb4 "Just do it anyway anon."

>>8113164
Do you have an account anywhere online I can follow? I like the stuff you bought....

>>8113164
Thanks for all the pics anon. Didn't know what half the stuff was but I always love seeing what other gulls are purchasing.

>>8113332
microwave are disgusting as fuck though, I have a stove in my room when I go so I use the stovetop pan not electric.

>>8113355
>Stove in my room

Wait what hotel anon? This is news to me. I only know of Motel 6 here in Illinois that have stove top pans.

>Microwaves are disgusting as fuck though.
Well I was going to clean the damn thing out but I could always sneak the takoyaki maker into my room to save what $35 bucks? Considering that I'm room stuffing four people for the price of two without telling them what's the worse that could happen?

>>8113337
I wish. I lurk here a lot and I'm the same anon who bought all of that Ami-Ami stuff and cried about it. I'm addicted to Japanese crap. I do have a tumblr that I never use though, (I want to do translations/Japan stuff on it.)

Has anyone used SF Express before? Should I be concerned that the tracking hasn't updated in several days?

>>8093340
Sauce on the leather heels?

This is due to arrive tomorrow, I'm super excited.

>>8105813
Very nice haul! I am extremely envious of the MM jacket. Where is the backpack(?) with the key from?

>>8113133
It's from dreamv
>http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/dreamv/item/519698/

>>8112818
That's good to know!
Hopefully you have luck finding those pieces second hand.

>>8114243
The brand name is Naya and they're the Jada model.
Unfortunately they're pretty much sold out but there's a few second hand ones floating around on ebay.

>>8109948
I ordered the whole collection. I'm trash. Happy Valentine's Day to us!!

Has anyone ever ordered from Mix x Mix ?

>>8113332

It's AxesFemme. it's actually much nicer quality than I expected it to be.

>>8113304
>that TG
How did you get stuff from Comiket? Like, how did you know what vendors would be selling there? I'd like to get some stuff one day but I never realised you could actually do it.

baby's first ouji, and bought some stuff for my sweet/classic wardrobe

>potato sack dress

>>8114425
Maybe not so happy for me, Snow. I checked the status on mine.. it's just gotten sorted through a facility in California today, despite USPS saying it'll be delivered tomorrow. I'm on the East Coast.

Do take pictures of your many alpacas when they arrive though! I'm really considering buying the Kotetsu one as well.

>>8114247
Gorgeous taste anon, Mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

Taking advantage of the falling yen to get some kimono stuff~
Rinzu han-eri, new chirimen obiage, zori (I've never owned a pair, I'm excited), and Edo komon off Rakuten, and obi from Ichiroya. Also ordered but not shown, an obidome-kanagu, an eri-shin (I've been using a strip piece of plastic canvas, it sucked), and an an actual nagajuban to replace my false-collar I use for everything.

>>8115020
About £90 ($130)

>>8100044
>the 2 items I loved are <$10

Thank you based anon and cheap AliExpress

>>8114991
Oh, my favorite chocolate print or more appropriately my favorite cut that has a chocolate print. I've never looked for it assuming it was expensive but apparently it's not at all. How much did you pay for it?

>>8114991
Love your AaTP stuff.

New shoes squeeee!

>>8097757
Oh gosh anon, >>8097594 here, really sorry I haven't answered yet!!
I do absolutely love Guilty Gear and have been wanting to play Breath of Fire for ages. So you're basically great.
I don't use Skype unfortunately though :c

>>8114728
Mr Saturn was only around 2000 yen too, my wallet is pretty satisfied with that one!!

>>8115343
All of that JoJo shit.
That glorious JoJo shit.

>>8115343
Do it, play Breath of Fire. It's not that (I know my nostalgia goggles are in effect with that series) great but if you're into old RPGs you'll enjoy it.

Happy belated birthday from me to me.

>>8115375
>Nostalgia goggles

No anon it's a lot better than the Final Fantasy shit they put out now from Square Enix and anything they put out from Capcom. Just don't play BOF 6 because that sucks.

>>8101908

It cost me about $200 shipped, which is sort of eh but... chocolate

>>8115307
thanks! not sure at all how to coord the novle vest though

>>8115466

A couple things for a costume, I was fortunate that the wig I was procrastinating on buying went on sale for EpicCosplays Valentines Day sale :)

And a cute rat keychain. there isn't enough cute rat stuff!

It's aliiiiiiiive!

just got her zentai suit 2 days ago though!

>>8115381
sauce on the serafukus and top right sweatshirt, holy moly...

Lmao alright I'll try anon but if I get in trouble I'll blame you and bitch here.

Nah I'm joking. I won't do that.

>>8114989
I go to Pixiv and Comiket and lurk tags. 東京腐種 is the Tokyo Ghoul one and 漫画 usually works for doujinshi but sometimes you have to search through pairing tags.

That's the only way I could buy these iphone cases: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=46381373 because outside of pixiv and twitter you can't even find this person. They don't sell them on Toranoana either.

>How do I buy stuff from Comiket?

Use a forwarding service or a shopping service like http://japamart.com/ or Tenso, or SuToCorp. Do not, I repeat do not use Shopping Mall Japan unless you are going to buy a big order. They do not shop at comiket anymore and their prices are expensive as hell.

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-COL-8502&page=top

I don't even need these.

It's a miracle!

>items stuck in China for over a week suddenly in New York

Does tenso charge monthly rates for having an account or are the service fees just once every time you order something from Japan?

>>8119614
Everytime you order.

>>8116900
Where's the charm from?

>>8119614
uh what shopping services have you used that charge monthly rates? all the ones i've used are on order basis (basically commission)

>>8119802
Tenso isn't a shopping service, it's a forwarding service. Anon probably thought you had to pay to use their address or something.

>>8119952
It's both. Most people use their FS because it's cheaper but they can also do SS as well. It's on the website anon.

USPS is breaking my heart. Expected my Valentines gift to myself to arrive Thursday.. it was delayed. Woke up this morning, it was an hour away as of 4am. Expected it to be delivered today but nothing.

Why don't you love me, USPS?

>>8098876
Anon, go to college if you pick a good degree, and indulge in your hobbies afterwards when you have decent money to spend.

>>8120194
Don't feel bad anon I've bought a lot of Assassination Classroom items and I'm trying to do the special version of Nagisa myself.

>Correction about the ShoppingMallJapan. Don't buy anything there unless you buy one large item or a single item. Last time I bought something for around 700 yen it cost me $30 without shipping.

SMJ is good for real time auction orders though but it's not worth it in the long run.

>>8120204
I've never played/watched AC before but the game previews look amazing. It'll help me memorize kanji too.
I used to be a huge figure collector but I stopped 2 years ago. Comiket this month had so much cute stuff though, so I think I'll be getting back into it again.

The mail flood is coming, anons. I'm scared my postal worker will riot after this.

>19 packages
>27 items

Half of them are already in the US, the rest are in China or Japan.

Just had an Alice and the Pirates Vampire Requiem bag arrive. Seriously disappointed in terms of the quality, though, compared to what I was expecting. It's still very nice, but, it's not in the same thick, textured cotton that the VR dress/skirt are in, it's smoother and thinner. I once received a freebie BABY tote when making an order from AatP, and as much as I dislike BABY's style, I love the quality of the bag, which is really sturdy. I was expecting similar level with this one. The bag is smaller than expected, in comparison to my Innocent World totes, and considering that the print fabric isn't very thick, it's unlined.

ems is down ems is down ems is down ems is down

>>8121196
I got them at Kohls online (stores don't carry them) but modcloth usually has them. I'm lame and shopping from America rather than Asia in this thread.

>>8123586
didn't you post about those shoes months ago?

i saw the thread where people discovered khols had them cheaper than taobao or some shit

>>8123785
Nope, wasn't me who posted. I've also never seen them on taobao.

>>8123814
I found them but only in dark brown and nude :v

My first Innocent World dress and some heels from Bodyline.

The last thing I need to order for this coord is a mint floral headdress from Foxcherry once CNY is over. I'm beyond excited!

>>8124210
the cream bows in the middle of the skirt look really weird. i hope theyre detachable. cute as fuck shoes though.

Waiting for my first btssb order. mainly sale items and a bunch of socks, but really excited for Fairy Topialium in turquoise. Id really like to get the half bonnet but it was sold out, so i got the matching barrette instead.

>>8115381

How high of quality do you think the penny loafers are?

I was waiting for the btssb torchon otks to come in stock for months, but I ended up getting these anyway to use up my meta points. I hope they're nice enough.

>>8097697
love

These aren't en route to me yet but I'm so excited. Bless the conversion rate

I posted in the last thread, but update.
I'm no longer allowed to buy anything for a long time.

>>8109948
Still waiting on this damn thing to arrive. It's been 'departed from USPS towntwohoursaway' since Saturday and even though we've got ice on the ground, another item made it to my local post office this morning with no issues.

Give me my damn alpaca, USPS.

>>8124159
I had a Kohls coupon since my mum has a card there.

Secondhand moitie dress shipped today! Happy dance.

>>8125712
It's still listed as unsold on Lacemarket, wut

>>8125420
This shitty little btssb bag looks better than it is. Be prepared to be dissapointed.

>>8125714
Yeah, it's done that for items I've bought a few times before, as well. It's weird, but I don't think you need to be worried.

>>8125401
OMG those shoes are super-cute!

>>8125714
Listed as sold for me. Are you logged in? That's a problem sometimes for me. Has left me major disappointed in the past when I logged in and it was already sold or at a much higher bid

It took iw over a month to process this order ;__;
Waiting on all this plus a bag from ali.

Tiger & Bunny Cosplay Alpaca came and it's pretty neat. I wish I had gotten the Kotetsu one instead of the Wild Tiger though.

The helmet is made out of felt-like material and can be removed. The shirt also has velcro in the back and can be removed. The mask is the only thing permanently attached.

>>8101910
The pants might be coming in today anon if you're still interested in a mini review of them!

>>8126725
I sure am!

>>8100352
>>8126666
Forgot to post these as well. I have no idea the earrings would be so huge!

>>8125717
Oh well it was 1000 yen.

>>8125420
Source on the coat please?

The CC value pack is from Mirukuma, got a large one with an AatP theme to it, so I'm hoping for some nice gothic-y things!

>>8126790
Its not brand and I couldnt see the tags in the listing. It should be here this week if you want me to let you know when I get it! Im crossing my fingers and praying it isn't weirdly sized.

>>8098661
Everything has arrived but the bag. I'm starting to wonder if the bag was worth it because international shipping is just $3 less than the item itself, fml.

> mfw my TB order was pretty fucked up too
> mfw the only good thing is the btssb dress
> mfw I have no face
TLDR; burando is worth it

>>8126807
top kek. she screws everyone over. youll probably get something worth 70%+ of what you paid from closet child

Did a big group order for upcoming con!
everything but the skirt and black seifuku have arrived

>>8126812
eyyy got a fucking missed delivery slip today even though I was home all day

I'm so bad at saving.

Since this is the mail thread, I might ask a mail-related question:
If you ship an item to the address that's in the paypal transaction, but the buyer tells you it's wrong some days later and it's too late to change the address so it will be sent back to you, can the buyer claim back the money?
Like, it's technically not my fault, but on the other hand the buyer didn't receive the goods and I definitely don't want to send it again on my cost.

>>8128108
I'd like to think that Paypal would side with you since you shipped to the address on file, as long as the address was confirmed by Paypal and you shipped it with tracking.

>>8128108
If you sent it to the address listed by Paypal, you're safe. I don't know what you'd do if the items were returned to you, or if you're obligated to do something if they were delivered to that address (which the buyer is no longer at), though.

>>8128118
Yes I shipped it with tracking to the address paypal showed me, so I actually did nothing wrong.I'd just feel bad if the buyer just lost his/her money, but I certainly can't ship it again for free and don't know what to do if the buyer doesn't want to pay the shipping again.

>>8107088
I love these things, and I have them on my Aliexpress wishlist! Could you possibly do a mini-review when they arrive? I'm especially interested on the shoes.

Finally! Ended up paying $50 more than the last one I saw that sold before I got to it, but whatever. I hope it coordinates well with my favorite burgundy heels.

>>8125420
did you find that snail eye cream to work? i bought it, but after using the entire container, i don't think there was much difference for me.

>>8125744

At least you got your Bordeaux bolero and hat before they sold out.

>I wish we knew exactly how IW decides to process overseas orders, right now it just seems like chaos.

>>8127830
Can I get a review and link to the loafers?

>>8127636
really? ah well, lesson learned.

>>8128108
On the reverse side, if the seller shipped the to an incorrect addres and was not the correct one stated on the paypal transaction (or sent via PM), would the seller be obligated to refund the buyer their shipping?

I'm dealing with a seller on this right now, they were nice enough to refund me for an Interception service, but they won't refund me my shipping. When I told them this would result in negative or neutral feedback, they said they "won't pay for positive feedback."

This dress is a birthday gift to myself... I'm really disappointed over the whole transaction and Paypal doesn't allow me to open a claim for a shipping refund.

>>8128923
So you got the item, for the total price agreed to, and you want a refund on shipping? You're in the wrong here.

>>8129319
I haven't received the dress yet, she shipped it to the wrong address and I'm hoping an interception gets it to the correct address.

If I really am in the wrong, I won't give her negative feedback, I've just never had this happen before.

Might have gone a bit overboard on wigs but oh well.

>>8128754
I can't say exactly for my dark circles because I've been off my sleep medication for a while but it's significantly helped these little bumps I've had under my eyes in the eyebag area. I apply it twice daily, once when I wake up and once when I go to bed.

>>8127830
That Love Live skirt looks awful...

>>8129416
Since it was her error, she's responsible for getting it to you without you incurring extra cost, so if it has to be resent or there's a fee to redirect it, it's on her, but I don't think a refund is reasonable. It sucks that you might have to wait an extra few days or a week or whatever, but it's not a big deal.

>>8126666
God this looks so cute.

>>8131800
It really is cute but I'm already trying to get rid of it since I found the one I really want (Kotetsu paca) is finally on sale and I don't have room for two.
