/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Some larme items I'm waiting on, very excited!

>>8840381
Are the accessories from Bubbles?

>>8840397
Monlily actually! I'm too lazy to get involved with SS's right now so I'm just ordering from places with international shipping.
Dress is swankiss (purchased through TOM) and shoes are AE if anyone ends up wanting to know those.

Glavil/Tutuha dress finally left Japan, should be here in a couple days. I also got a few things to add to my gyaru wardrobe and [finally] ordered some lower lashes.

I have all this in the post, apparently some of it's arrived, I'm away this weekend. Some of it is presents for gulls, but most of it's for me. Pretty excited, I might stack them all up and have a second Christmas when it's all here.

>>884039
I have a pair of Monlily earrings and they look great worn, I'm sure yours will too. Btw link to the shoes please anon?

This is why I am always broke lately. At least I will probably be selling one of the white dresses when they arrive. As they are from the same series and in the same colorway, I will sell whichever one looks less nice worn. Everything but the Innocent World headpiece is Moitie. Also have some other things that I already posted that haven't arrived yet. I feel so guilty.

>>8840495
>humblebragging
if you feel so guilty, just stop buying shit and exercise some self control
do like the blouses you got though

Hopefully nothing happen to it.

>>8840495
Nice haul anon, where some of the pieces bought off tokyo alice? Moitie socks can are hard to find these days.

>>8840449
I know those are diamond lash but which lashes specifically are those?

>>8840488
http://s.aliexpress.com/BvymqmEJ

If they don't have the size you need or you want to look around for a cheaper listing/one with more reviews just use search terms like velvet platform lolita vintage. Tons of listings.
I'm so excited to get them!!!

>>8840539
Charming Eye lower lashes!

Anyone know how the fit of the 2012 Fleur Antoinette is like? I'm below the max for bust and waist, but I've got big arms (damn genes, no matter how much I exercise I can't get it smaller) so I'm worried it won't fit.

I'm also super excited about the Misty Sky lav JSK. I've been obsessed with and thirsty for this print for the longest time, and now with this release (it's the 2013 one) I finally have a main piece from all of its releases. It feels like a dream.

At what point do you realise that you have a serious problem - I am super excited because I managed to snag two of my dream dresses though!

>>8840605
Thank you anon, I love the shape of those
Time to make a lens order so I can justify tossing those in with it (needed new daily wear lenses anyways)

>>8842359
flat measurement is 14 cm across on mine

I've decided to go less on dresses, more on BJD and accessories. (though I do want my dream OP dress)

>>8842796

forgot to drop photo

Ordered some stuff off of taobao with another person including a few gifts Just got it in!

>>8844365

Whoops. Forgot a picture

I ordered 144 tiny Pokemon figures yesterday and they shipped this morning. I found the ones in pic related at a con last summer and they made me laugh way too much, so I figured I might as well grow my derpy bootleg collection.
They also make for surprisingly good art inspiration.

How long are packages supposed to sit in posting/collection in Sydney? Also does this mean customs, because the US has a separate place for customs than our incoming post. I'm beginning to get antsy for no reason.

Incoming packages.
Dream dress get.

>>8844869
>that combusken
Fucking lol

>>8844366
why is there a piece of paper on the ground that's presumably so you don't get your shoes on the floor when you didn't even try to keep your feet on it?
Or is that just a bath mat you couldn't be bothered moving?

Need to stop buying shit right before CNY kicks off but they only had three of those craft lamps left and the Rin jacket was hella cheap.

>>8845133
I too am awaiting a Hello Bones Jones brooch and a dream dress! Except I paid for the dress eight days ago and the seller hasn't shipped it yet...

>>8845170
I didn't bother to move it

Two dresses and two pairs of OTKs,
With CNY happening this month, I might as well hold off getting anything else.

>>8844869
you are a true hero anon, please post more

I found 5 wishlist dresses this week. I have sold 4 dresses recently, therefore I was able afford to buy them all on sight!

>>8845398
Those sheep are precious. Are they earrings? Are they for a coord or daily wear??

>>8845398
>>8845424
seconded, link please?

>>8845133
10/10 taste anon.

Bought some AATP JSK's for my B-day.

>>8845398
Someone's exicited about british bear, right?

>>8845151
He's the first one I found. Dick chicken is funny looking Pokemon already but this made me lose my shit.

>>8845227
I'll post the best ones when the package arrives! Expected delivery is next Tuesday.

>>8844366
Looking good! Can I ask which link you used for her dress? It's always reassuring to see someone wear it in person before buying it.

>>8845678
No problemo

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.lND1tt&id=522910449630&_u=42b23ck47298

It doesnt have much stretch and there are wires that came with it for the bottom but i didnt put it in

>>8846038
Perfect, this was actually the one I saved in my cart! I shouldn't be worried about stretch too much, I'm pretty tiny.

Much thanks, fellow tiny Esper!

3 guesses on what i'm planning to do with these.

>>8845424
>>8845502
OP here. I found them on ebay by searching "sheep earrings". There is also a matching necklace, maybe I will buy it later.

>>8845624
Blouse source please, anon.

>>8846107
Glad another gull got those lots! It's gotten to the point now where I see them I'm going "Oh, __ itabag anon would love these.."

>>8846125
Haha yeah. I'm just getting started with the itabag thing and got pretty lucky with these lots since the top and middle on the left feature the 3 characters I'm hunting!

i spent $80+ on etude house products because they just released a strawberry themed makeup line and strawberries make me lose all sense of control OTL

>>8846136
Please review the eyeshadows when they arrive!

Some cheap stuff for my Nageki cosplay, I wonder how the "gemstones" beads will turn out. As long as they aren't shit plastic I'll be fine with them.

>>8845212
yaaaa girlll get it!
I had a really hard time choosing what pin I wanted. Though luckily I caught the sale.

>>8845606
Thanks babe

Did my best to reign in the retail therapy over winter break! Hopefully now I'll be too busy studying to shop, but..

>>8842379
>>8845133
>>8845212
Awh, congratulations on your dream dresses! You all have such cute styles!

>>8846427

As someone who's worked with them before, they're dyed agate. Only issue is that they can get super heavy (I used them for a belt and I had some issues with the belt sagging down the scarf part of my costume). Good luck! They look gorgeous.

>>8847315
Good to know ! The yellow, blue and purple ones were actually sold as agates, and the red as cornelian. I look forward to receiving them.

>>8846117

Here's the listing I used :

>>8847233
>Sanhora book purse
Yessss you're going to love that so much, anon. Just be prepared to not cram much into it because it's very narrow and hard to even get your hand into.

>>8847303
Review the Listen Flavor tights and the wing necklace when you get them?

My IW lucky pack is at the post office. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to pick it up until after work

Currently waiting on these

>>8848148
>All Kinds of Fur
Fuck me, I thought their shop had closed down! Have you got a link, anon?

Got an interesting variety of things ordered right now, to say the least. Trying to hold off on any major buying since I splurged so much on big orders over the holidays. (Items in lavender I'll be picking up in person from a local store this weekend)

$60 from tokyo otaku mode
I bought them on the 8th
I'll never see them will I

>>8848189
I ordered it off my-lolita-dress back in December, and I just checked and it's not up there anymore. You're right, the taobao shop appears to have gone as well. Sorry about that, anon!

>>8848702
Tokyo Otaku Mode is pretty reputable anon. Are they made-to-order or pre-order?

>>8848702
I've ordered from there a few times, always got my stuff on time if it was in stock. They reply fast to e-mails too. I had stuff pre-ordered which took a while, but that's understandable.

>>8848702
How was it shipped? I ordered from them a few times and always got my stuff quickly, I used EMS shipping though.

>>8848702
They JUST cancelled a pre-order of mine I ordered before Christmas. The manufacturer had apparently told them they had more when they hadn't?

I'm pretty upset. It was a shirt I was embarrassingly thirsty for. I must have harassed 3 threads in search of a better source or similar design.

>>8846136
Please can I get the link to the lipgloss on the middle left?
Also if you can review it when it arrives that would be wonderful!

>>8840399
Link to shoes please?

I'm most excited for my Karamatsu tank, but that isn't till April

>>8850821
I actually bought my Etude House stuff off gmarket and it's going to be forwarded to me from my aunt's house in Korea, but you can also get that product from here: http://ibuybeauti.com/product/etude-house-berry-delicious-color-in-liquid-lips/
I'm planning on doing an unboxing/haul video so I guess I'll post the link in the next mail thread when I upload it

>>8848702
The bad run in I've had with them was the fact they listed a liz lisa item as white on their website and they sent me the pink because "oh its whats on the label!" Dumb cunts.

>>8848702
I ordered nendos from them and they still haven't shipped. It still says 'preordered' on my order info, and both nendos have been released.

I'm way too excited about this. Upgrading my Melty Royal Chocolate from salo to JSK and getting another dream dress in a set on top of that.

This is probably the most relevant place to post this. I'm in the white day exchange, and I'm from the UK, sending my giftee a big box to America. It's a big box and I don't want them to get charged customs - there's a doll and some chocolate in their amongst other things and I don't want the chocolate to be taken away or whatever. Not sure what to write for the customs slip in regards to the contents/price of the item? It cost me about $30-$40. No idea how American customs works.

>>8853675
We never get charged customs. It's very rare. You'd have to be sending a very high value package. $40 gift won't even get looked at, don't worry about it.

>>8853675
America doesn't get customs'd basically ever, no one will give a shit

Went on a big spree on otaku mode, excited to find a cute bag on there that was still available. Just got an email saying the stuff from Japan has been shipped, hopefully the stuff in their US warehouse is shipped out soon as well as the pre orders

Forever waiting on HL and Vintage Cameo. Socks from IW are coming this week. I received a like new blouse for 1/3 the price on LM last week.

This will increase if I decide on BTSSB's Marie Antoinette print.

>>8853846
>Tiger & Bunny merch
Mah sista.

I was trying really hard to not buy main pieces and get accessories and stuff to complete outfits, but a dress accidentally slipped into my orders.

Just got in my revolvers and one of the (thankfully) few pins I'll need for my Ocelot cosplay coming up. Those replicas were definitely worth the price, the weight and quality is pretty great. Time to learn to spin.

>>8854376
Anon, you sure you can get into a convention with those?

One day HL, one day.

>>8853859
I'm still super stoked you found those IW OTKs

I'm pretty excited in all honesty. I haven't been able to buy anything nice in a while, but I graduate tomorrow so I'm justifying it.

>>8854376
You're not going to be able to get those into a convention just by the way.

>>8854475
>>8854416
You guys must not live in a gun friendly state....

>>8854481
I don't live in a gun friendly country. Let's be real though, those don't look at all consafe so you should consider reading your conventions rules.

Only 1 lolita related thing but hey, whatever.

I'm super excited to receive it all.

>>8854429
>I'm still super stoked you found those IW OTKs

Thanks. It took a month of posting on a 4 hour basis on LSE and checking on IW's site whether or not they had stock.

>>8854504
I could legally carry a real gun into my local cons... can't speak for OP though

>>8854481
I live in an open carry state and I still know those won't make it past prop check.

>>8854511
Concealed carry, maybe. Open carry? Doubt it. Conventions can refuse to admit you if it violates their policies and 99.9% of American conventions have a rule against real weapons, especially guns. Most cons won't even let you bring airsoft, much less real ones or realistic props that don't have the orange tip.

>>8854416
They'll be fine, but not as they are. I'm going to be making orange tips by hand for them to make it clear that they're fake. The convention rules clearly stated that non-firing replicas (like this one) are fine providing that they have the proper tips and are free of fake ammo. Not going to be taking any risks, might even bring zip-ties as well.

Ironically enough, they have stricter rules regarding airsoft/BB guns

>>8854217
what on earth is that in the bottom left
i think i need it

>>8845221
Adorable congrats anon, link on otks?

>>8854595
It's an adipocyte from the Giant Microbes plush line.

>>8854130
I would've gotten more but TOM lacks a lot of cool T&B merch and when it does it's sold out

>>8854507
where did you get that ring!?

maybe a little over board.
Trying to update my wardrobe though.

>>8855058
I know that feeling. I've stuck to eBay's secondhand from Japan auctions to get my stuff.

The ring and bag have arrived. Waiting on the rest. Buying Petit Patisserie tiered JSK in ivory kind of sparked a love of food based sweet prints and my foray into being a chocolate-chan. Even though petit patisserie isn't /that/ chocolatey, it's my first time coording any brown so I got a brown blouse and tights for it that work well with more chocolatey coords.

>>8845221
Royal creamy chocolate <3 You have good taste! That dress in pink is on my wishlist. Congrats and I'm slightly jealous.

Just scored pic related for $100 brand new. So excited for it to arrive. I'm not into anime much anymore, but this is still my favourite series ever. Such a great deal and I'm so happy.

>>8854424
Darn, I was just about to buy that black dress but I left it too long. Congrats!

>>8856613
Congrats anon!

>>8856093
Thanks, anon!
Don't worry, your choco-time will come, too.

>>8847997
Not that anon, but I would be interested in a review!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but...

I ordered something from Japan on the 23rd, via SAL. It was cheaper than EMS and I was being a cheap ho at the time.
The tracking is being really strange. It had more scan-points but they disappeared and now it just shows where it was originally shipped from and Tokyo. The Tokyo update was on the 28th.

Is this normal.....? I know SAL is slower than EMS but this is getting weird.

I'm especially excited for the camera, because this means I can take better outfit shots!

I've gotten decent luck on auctions lately, hopefully the rest goes as well!
Though I was hoping to find the jsk in blue

>>8860429
sauce on that cat/bow necklace? It's adorable!

>>8860721
Not that anon, but Hello Bones Jones

Also maybe two pairs of lace topped socks if I win the auction.

>>8860721
>>8860722
Yup! It's from Hello Bones Jones. Here's the link: http://hellobonesjones.com/collections/frontpage/products/a-dainty-kitten-necklace-1
They also have a brooch version!

>>8856613
Oh anon congrats! I have my husbando (pic related). But I need him too for my collection.

everything is in the mail, really excited about the hymn jsk

It's been a month of leg wear and I'm trying hard to stick to the NY's goals of padding up my wardrobes basics

Anyway, here's Raikou.

>>8860936

please do anon, also maybe a link to the original listing if you dont mind sharing? these would be amazing for friends

I bought them on canadian Amazon. If you get search "pokemon figures" you'll get a whole bunch of listings of these guys in bulk. I got 144 for about $30!

Hurry up EMS, I want my pretties.

>>8860953
Did you get the moitie from Wunderwelt? I saw that one and was tempted so hard.

>>8860972
Yes, I've been watching it for weeks because I felt it was over priced, but I caved in the end.

Please take pictures when you get it. I've always wanted one but can't justify the shipping costs for that kind of weight.

>>8860632
Congrats on the good deals, anon!

>>8860936
Those are truly majestic creatures.

>>8860429
How much did you end up paying for the Liz Lisa trunk? I also have wanted one for a long time but I feel like I don't have much use for it in the long run for how much it would cost to ship.

>>8860991
No problem anon! They arrived pretty quick too. If it weren't for the awful postal workers where I live, I would have gotten them on Monday.

Just finished with AP's sale not long ago. Unfortunately, the dress I wanted wasn't up on the website, so I'm hoping I can find it before AN to complete my coord. I also have yet to purchase Kylie's lipkit, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen today, and I will buy (maybe) two of them. It will happen.


My poor wallet.

>>8861007
Will do, anon!

>>8861150
I bought the trunk new secondhand, so it wasn't that expensive. Iirc, including surface mail shipping, it cost about $50 in total.

>>8861936
Sauce on the patches anon?

I haven't been here or in the fashion for a long time.

Feels content with so many different blouse options in additional to what I have already. I don't want to do anything for another 8 months.

>>8862333
not that anon but those patches are from Nicole Dollanganger's bandcamp (I'm a huge fan)

>>8862353
Not that anon, but I knew those badges looked familiar. I had the biggest girl crush on her in high school, too. Glad she's getting recognised.

Gulls, please help.
I can't wear heels above 5cm due to weak arches and I'm having the hardest time finding anything nice in Western shops.

However, rakuten is chock full of low, non-gay-looking heels but I'm a desperate faggot from Europe so I'll be skinned alive by the customs if I order from there.

Has anyone successfully gotten around the customs when ordering from Rakuten? Which ss did you use, and which shipping option? Last time I had to pay almost full price.

Also, it's so refreshing that all models are my height.

I don't wear sweet, but I thought these OTKs would be good for some of the solid color pieces I have. For the the price I thought it certainly wouldn't hurt to pick them up!

I submitted my request to pre-order Nameless Poem and buynosaur seems to be a little backed up... it's making me a tiny bit nervous because the pre-order is only open for another 7 days

red = ordered but not posted (aka sellers are probably still on CNY holiday/dealing with backlogged orders...)
yellow = in transit
green = arrived!!

>>8864428
Where in Europe are you? Getting around customs depends on how strict they are. I'd also suggest looking at schuh and Hotter UK for cheapish shoe options as they have a range of decent shoes that are probably better for your weak arches, and are within Europe so no customs.

>>8862291
But think of your savings!

>>8860882
Is that blouse in the middle black and gold? I think I might need one, is it AP?

>>8864445
What do you mean by backed up? I'm looking to submit my quotation soon after the Chinese New Year rush

>>8865337
the blouse in the middle is axes femme, i think the lace might just be beige or white though

>>8860882
finally getting the hymn jsk tomorrow after many small delays, and maybe things from the baby sale
got the stamp garter and end of eden socks today, both are nicer than i expected

>>8865337
Thanks for the suggestions! I live in Finland, so if any Finnfags have any tips, shoot

>>8865349
Not that anon but they're a small shopping service that's no doubt been flooded by gulls now so that plus Taobao being all but shut down for CNY, they're way behind on orders. If you submit a quotation any time soon, you'll be in for a wait while they sort out the orders ahead of you.

>>8864408
What a lazy arsehole that guy is.

Current purchases, mostly for con season and craft supplies.

>>8865744
>that Lunatic figure

Nice find ! Is tora-books a good seller (I'm assuming it's from them from the red background and ruler and that you are the person who posted a link to his shop previously) ? I have my eyes on a few T&B things but the negative comments saying they ask for extra money scare me. Did you pay for tracking ?

>>8865844
You can pay for tracking, yes. They even state that if you want tracking you have to pay for a different shipping method. I've bought from them a few times and never had any issues with getting my stuff when it's without tracking and everything has always looked good.

And I got super lucky on Lunatic, he was only $0.99 plus the under $5 shipping cost. If you're bidding on multiple items and you win them, don't pay automatically! Contact them and request an invoice because they'll combine shipping for you. I made the mistake of not doing that one.

>>8865903
Ah, that's great ! Thanks for the tip !

I just bought pic related! I'm excited for my first piece of VM! I also have a small axes femme haul coming too.

>>8865366
Ah, damn. I do love axes femme stuff though so maybe I just need one myself anyway...

>>8861936
>Until Dawn
mah nigga
Also good choice on the fx palette. I've got a variety of bruise/ flesh would palette but I almost always come back to this one.

Only paid 71 USD for this! (Including shipping!) So excited, this went on my dream print list the moment it came out. It's missing the waist ties, but I honestly don't care.

>>8870113
Dropped the pic, whoops.

waiting on most of my itabag order...
but at least one package has arrived!

Shitty mail week for me. I think i was scamed on LM this week,the seller wont reply.

>>8840536
Still not here...

>>8871758
Which seller?

All the lace hairbows. I plan on having a huge collection since I like to wear my hair half up. Still trying to find a good way to display/store them haha.

Fuck yeah, the old man is mine

>>8872885
Fuck. I think I bid on that too. Glad another gull got it.

>>8872893
Ah, sorry for that. I'll take great care of it.

>>8872904
it's alright. I got me a nice Lunatic but it's really cool to know other anons are bidding on the same stuff.

Sorry for messy phone collage. Still gotta figure out a blouse for this, but I couldn't help myself. Hopefully the socks match alright!

>mfw I'm an idiot and didn't realize the bow is wine/black until now and I was gonna coord with brown
Oh well. At least I have other things it'll go with!

best birthday present to myself. Currently on sale on amiami!

>>8872885
I'm watching the Haruhara Haruko figure from this seller as well. Wish me luck.

>>8872946
Whoa I've never seen this. I'm a huge FXII/Fran fan. Thanks for the heads up, anon!

>>8872087
Those are beautiful! Sauce?

Do you wear them with lolita?

I haven't brought anything online in ages and just started going back to work recently but I'm still pretty sure I'm going to regret spending this much. Buyee gave me a 10000yen int shipping voucher and I went over board. I don't think I will be using them again however, with all the fees and the fact they will not combine shipping from the same seller like some shopping services do, plus the shitty Australian dollar has made this haul very expensive for me, just the domestic shipping is going to cost me well over $100 aud.

Oh and also, if anyone can find the meta jsk in the top row far left that would be amazing, I can't find it on lolibrary.

Two mini-splurges on things. The top row is currently on its way to me, bought new from IW, while the bottom row I got a few weeks ago. The Roland was ordered direct from Boz just before Christmas, while the blouse and corset-vest were second hand finds.

>>8873251
I do! I usually try and wear a simple headband with them though, otherwise it doesn't look like I'm wearing any hair accessories until you see me from the back haha. The lace is really soft which is why I keep buying from her. Here's the link!

>>8865337
What is that bird thing? Source?

I ordered something from AP last month by SAL, and it was shipped out on the 29th of last month. The last detail says "Shipping from international exchange", but that hasn't updated since the 11th. Is that normal or should I be a little worried?

>>8873705
SAL is slow, just wait.

>>8873856
Not that anon but what is the longest you gulls had to wait for a package shipped through SAL?

>>8873577
You mean in the top row? It's supposed to be a goldfish according to the seller. I just searched for opal goldfish necklace on eBay and it came up for $2, so I bought it.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/151461216545?_mwBanner=1

>>8873868
Almost two months for me.

>>8873546
What kind of hairstyle do you wear with them? I'd love to see pictures!

I just received this in the mail. It's lovely but I jumped the gun and bought it without thinking about the measurements. It was supposed to be my first dress.

Now I'm wondering what to do with it. I am planning on losing at least 20 pounds this year, I weigh 156 pounds right now, and getting in shape. I'm wondering whether I should keep it until I lose the weight or sell it and be more careful about the measurements next time.

>>8874429
I usually just pull part of my hair back into a low ponytail and clip the barrette right above the ponytail. Sometimes I braid or curl the ponytail depending on how much effort I'm willing to put in that day haha. I don't have any photos of myself but pic related would be a more elaborate style.

Realized how soon the con was and finally got my shit together and ordered everything else I need for it. Sorry, wallet.

>>8870048
Haha glad you approve! It's my first special fx palette so it's good to hear I chose well!

>>8874765
>Angels of Porn patch
Wow I didn't know those existed. Neato.

>>8874800
They were up on the merch page of her bandcamp! Sadly they're sold out now.

>>8874691
If you really love it, keep it and use it as motivation to lose the weight. If you're not that crazy over it, sell it and use the money to get another dress that fits.

>>8874845
I think I'll keep the dress then. If I lose the weight and it still doesn't fit because of my rib cage and shoulders should I sell it then? What's the general consensus on altering brand? I know I won't be able to sell it/have to sell it for way cheaper than I bought it if I do have it altered.

Got all my tax returns this week, so I splurged a little bit.

>>8874905
This is giving me vibes from the time when I first got into lolita and sweet was huge. Nostalgic and lovely.

>>8874944
Sweet still is huge. It's just a different type of sweet.

Kinda semi related. This turned up today. It's a lady sloth OP. The postman said "they've really gone all out on the packaging"
I'm dead inside. It's a carrier bag, there's toothpaste on the op, there's a big gaping hole in the side of the bag and the top of where the zip ends on the op is all ripped open.

>>8875298
can you not show them this and get a refund or swap?

>>8874867
If it still doesn't fit then sell it and cut your losses. If you can find it in a larger size, go for it. If you can't and you still love the print, see if there's a skirt version? I mean, you could always have it altered but there's always a risk it won't look good after that.

>>8875298
True horror right there. Take a picture of all the damage and raise hell, anon.

got these cuties 2-3 weeks ago and super satisfied

>>8875298
I'm surprised the post office would even let people mail stuff that looks like this.

>>8875417
Cute as fuck. Where'd you get them?

>>8875425
ebay! I recommend ordering one size larger than yours, btw
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Lace-Up-Sweet-Bow-Faux-Leather-Shoes-Winter-Knight-Knee-High-Boots-Size-/272021070819?var=&hash=item3f55b823e3:m:miFAzHk47BbXztCW2Q0C1Tw

>>8875298
Whoa. This is secondhand and not from lady sloth right?

Just ordered this for a cute spring cosplay, gonna review it once it arrives

>>8845183
Those shoes are cute as hell anon

>>8875391
I spoke with my seamstress friend and she says most of the issues come from my tits and the chub on my waist. I'm excited to lose the weight now and relieved that it wasn't my shoulders/rib cage.

>>8875298
I thought the thumbnail was a dirty diaper. Kek
I am sorry for your loss. File a refund. I recently received a ruined parcel with poor packaging. I share your pain.

my fucking bank statement guys
what is money

>>8874905
Have fun with the Karami skirt anon-chan, I was eyeing it for a while but couldn't justify even more blue in my wardrobe. Post to COF when your coord is complete!!

itabag stuff! gonna be a good mail day when it all comes in. still waiting on some of the stuff to arrive at FJ. totes are from redbubble, merch was all grabbed off yja, blue bag is from wego.

>>8876123
also some lolita stuff, I haven't gotten the tracking number for my haenuli shit but it should be shipping out sometime this week I hope

>>8875934
I can't wait for it! I love the blues. Hopefully I can pull a nice coord with it.

>>8876123

>Germany and Erwin Smith

Top taste, please show us this marvel when it's done.

Waiting on this.

>>8876149
thanks! I'm not sure what made me suddenly decide I wanted to make a Germany itabag because I legit have not watched APH since like, 8th grade in 2009. He was first my husbando so I think I just got nostalgic. Also there was so much merch for it, I think cause everyone wants to get rid of their stuff lol.

>>8876150
this is so gorgeous anon! sauce?

>>8876123
What words did you search with for the germany figurines/toy?

>>8876196
I just went on Google to find the names of "Germany"/Doitsu (ドイツ) and "Hetalia" (ヘタリア) in Japanese, then searched those in combination with each other on yja. You could also try Ludwig/ルートヴィッヒ but I didn't use that. I didn't search for keychains/toys/etc in particular I just looked through the listings and clicked on the things I liked, but I would suggest getting the Japanese words for the items you want to search and pasting them along with the other stuff if you want to search more
specifically.

>>8876194
Yolanda Leonora Jsk, as soon as I saw it I was in love.

>>8876213
Thanks anon!

It's a tiny haul but I'm super excited! Nameless Poem marks my first acquired dream dress (or it will in 3 months) and I'll get to try the Malco Modes 582 that everyone's always raving about. It's secondhand though, hopefully it hasn't lost too much of its poof.

>>8876611
Don't worry too much about the poof, anon. he fabric is soft, so the volume comes from the sheer amount of material present, whereas pettis made from stiffer materials go soft over time and lose their volume that way. I've had mine for a year and it's still going strong despite spending a lot of time squished in a suitcase for travel. I hope you enjoy yours, and congrats on the dream dress!

>>8877212
That's really reassuring anon! I'd heard of some people saying theirs had deflated a bit but I guess it was just after reeeally extended use. And thank you very much, so many good feels!

>>8873508
Awesome haul. Love that full length Roland!

>>8878906
Thanks. Rolands are fantastic coats, there's a good reason why Boz release them year in year out. The only annoyance is how tiny the lady's size is, so having to go up to the mens' size because I'm just that little bit too big for a lady's. The long length is, thankfully, cut slightly smaller than the regular length one for some reason.

Bought these wigs from Brightlele. If anyone wants me to do a small review of them when they arrive then I will!

>>8879861
I'd like a review!

Currently waiting on shipping for the baby dress from wunderwelt.
Got shipping confirmation on the meta skirt from closetchild today.
Aaaand I'm still waiting for shipping on the haenuli dress, but hopefully it gets sent out this week.

i've been waiting forever for all this stuff. i love my weeb shit, but international shipping is true hell

(i'll endure it for m'dokas)

Ultimate husbando's figure came today and I wasn't expecting to have to assemble his mangled body myself. Oh well, better enjoy my purchases now since I also got my community college acceptance letter in the mail today as well. Finally going back to school!

>>8862291
Got my package in today and my black AP bag has the thread popped out on one of the straps. This is why I don't buy brand shoes or bags. UGH

>>8856820
The stars arrived today ! I left the bag out to get some sun light and most of the stars glowed in the dark, I'll spread them evenly on my desk tomorrow so they can get an equal amount of light then check again. Their colors is a bit greener, more like the bigger stars', it looks like what you would expect of a phosphorescent material. The only issues I have is that they have that factory smell, and that quite a few of the stars still have little "pegs" attached, but they're quite easy to take off. Overall they're nice, I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

>>8884143
Please update when it's assembled ! It already looks super cool

A close-up shot

>>8884458
Here you go, anon!
Cute stars btw. Might get some to fill a bottle for room decoration.

>>8884510
Damn auto-rotate gets me nearly every time.

Gosh i am feeling so excited about all this cute stuff.

>>8876123
>Erwin and Germany.
Such a refined taste there. Pls, post your itabag finished.
Also do you have a thing for white haired men (Ginko, Gintoki)?

I swear that miniaturely set can't get here fast enough. Just been a mess since it got shipped out.

I'm not sure it was really necessary to color code them but here's all the stuff I'm still waiting on

Just received these cute nanchatte skirts in the mail! Is anyone interested in a small review?
>ebay.com/itm/371360213640

>>8884530
Link on that petticoat? Thats a really good haul anon, looks like you got some really cute things!

>>8886093
I saw it on zminglel under the name of "Lolita bubble skirt" or something there are several colors

>>8886092
Review in the nanchatte thread please?

>>8879896
Ahhh you bought that Meta skirt! I was debating whether to get it or not...

>>8879896
Damn, I was wondering if a gull bought that Baby dress. I knew it was stupid to think it would stay in stock but I had hoped it might last until my next paycheck. Nice catch anon.

>>8886150
alright, ill go do that!

A small Innocent World order, some cosplay stuff +patterns. I'm really excited to start working on it!

>>8886324
Sauce on glasses, please!

I've spent way too much lately but I have a ton of BNK credits that expire in two weeks so might as well use them to stock up.

>>8886798
Sauce on that clear organizer anon? Would love to know what the quality is like as well.

>>8886817
http://amzn.com/B00UEAI3OQ
Here you go, anon! I also took a couple pics for you

It feels like it could crack easily if dropped, but it won't be moving much from its current position so it should be just fine. It's two pieces, but there are grooves on it to keep the top from sliding off.

Pleasantly surprised it fits everything from my normal makeup routine, even my TF eyeshadow and contour palettes.

Current haul! I'm also really tempted to order that new bat bolero from Bunny House, as well as another Sonico and Izaya figure from AmiAmi.

>>8875298
jfc how do people think this is ok??

>>8886324
Would love a sauce on that bonnet!

>>8886817
I also have it and it's pretty ok for the most part. One of the bottom drawers recently gave me a little bit of an issue when I was trying to push it back in. Not sure why it kept getting stuck. Other than that it does it's job.

>>8886798
Link to the Pusheen slippers please ? I have a friends whose birthday is soon and she'd love them !

>>8886881

That's exactly why I bought two, haha. For my birthday she bought both of us pusheen kigus, so for hers I'm getting us the slippers and sleeping mask.

I told myself I wouldn't get more things... then a friend pointed me in the direction of a purple Mistress blouse from Atelier Boz in 'like new' condition. Even better, it was only 6k yen. Happy find indeed.

http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s481853008

Still waiting on IW and PF items.

I really hope that I can fit all the figures.

I have the solid black ones coming from a gracious anon who sold them to me, but for some reason they were sent back to Chicago after making it to Hawaii?

Seller anon if you see this, I sent you an email as a heads up. Haven't heard back from you yet!

>>8887081

I'm so jealous, anon

>>8889381
Managed to find it really cheap on Y!A. I was surprised to see so many that were cheaper than 1k, you should check there if you're looking for one! I haven't been able to find a Takanya one that isn't really expensive, though. Once I have all my im@s favs I want to start getting some LL ones.

*gasp* I love the burgundy part part of the dress so much, but I feel as if the white clashes so much. Is it an underskirt or part of the dress?

how much did you have to shell out for shipping for just that one brooch? i love pepfox's stuff to death but with their faq saying they'll only ever ship things tracked I fear to see what anyone would end up having to pay for such a small order

>>8890813
It's pretty silly. If an item gets lost in transit, even if the customer is lying about it, it's still cheaper and easier to simply send another in a padded envelope (for like $3 AUD international at the very most).

Headbow is Chantilly. I bought mine from pr-jam, green is sold out but they still have brown, black, purple, blue, and ivory.

If your looking for a green head bow, innocent world finally had a few up. I ordered one but it hasn't come in yet so I'm not sure what shade of green yet (the stock pic they have up for green is a fucking joke).

http://innocent-w.jp/onlineshop/en/154943.html

>>8890267
That's good to know! I have a few things I wants to wear it with.

>>8890813
They said they only shipped tracked? I was given and untracked option at checkout for only $5 AUD (roughly $3.61 USD).

>>8891638
Really? Oh I'd just checeked their FAQ and it said something about only shipping tracked, though maybe that's for actual dresses and stuff, huh. Had I known that was an option, I'd have picked up a ton of brooches before now.

>>8890925
I got them off ebay. They come in black and brown, though there's only a few sizes left in stock for the black. but if you google the listing title I think you might be able to find them from a few other sources.

Just found out that I won't have a job soon, so this is my last haul for a while.

I think I remembered everything on here. I have so many things scattered across so many websites, I keep losing track. All of these things I'm still waiting for.

I'm going on a spending freeze for a while after this!

>>8892152
Had those moments. Then you start getting stuff in the mail and think "what the hell is this?", to be followed by oh yeah it's something you forgot about.

K, shipping everything to work from now on.

>>8893803
Sounds like your post guy got pissed off at being called out. I'd file a proper complaint because they're not even coming to your box and checking it on a daily basis if your slip just sat there.

>>8893817
the best part is that they shuved mail ontop of it, so I taped it to the outside of the box so he could not claim he did not see it and it is still there, and I'm still getting my junk mail.

And I called the post office today to try to get the package with the slip redelivered and tried to give the lady the tracking number and she claimed she did not need it but it would somehow be redelivered tommarow? Postal hell, I have found it.

Do you happen to have a lolibrary link to the AP blouse on the far right?

it's all on goddamn pre-order. except for the kylo ren toy in between the dress and the hair clips in the second row, that one should be coming next week. but gdi everything else is pre-order. the KR in the lefthand corner will be the worst to wait for because it won't be ready until november. well, at least HL should be ready this month...anyone else with the pre-order waiting blues?
