Type in "Wall Decals" onto eBay. It's still really cheap. I bought a shit ton on Taobao and they don't stick AT ALL. They're like those shitty children decal's that are used on windows and fall off after an hour - but larger because they're meant for walls. Maybe you need adhesive for them?

The numbers on the left are underbust in cm I believe
Then A cup is if you have 10cm difference between underbust/overbust, B cup is 15cm difference etc.
Therefore you fall in-between sizes, but are closest to a 75B.

>>6596702

>>6596726
yeah, so like, the numbers (70, 75) are underbust. the +10, 12.5cm are the overbust/full bust size that cup size is made for.

e.g. 70 + A = 32A = 70cm underbust and 80cm overbust, 34A is 75cm underbust and 85cm overbust, so on and so forth.
for B cup, it's "+12.5cm", so 75cm + B cup = for 75cm underbust/86.5cm overbust = 34B

You are a good reason of why third world countries are more superior than America.
First, your values.
Americans don't like to save money for whatever god damn reason. They just spend and spend and spend, and have to work until they die because they were too stupid to work for the government and receive a pension, and too greedy/too much of a shoppaholic to buy shit they don't fucking need, and not work into a savings plan for retirement.
They also take school for granted.
I'm so happy I was born in America. I've been exposed to the poverty of third world countries, as my parents are both from Indonesia and it is dirt poor over there. The kids there, I feel so bad. There are so many Americans here who are fucked up have no goals or values in life and then bitch and whine about how hard school is.

That's really not the child's fault. The parents and school systems are too touchy feely, teaching people to ~go for your dreams~ and not telling you to actually do something worth anything.

NOT THE ANON YOU"RE REPLYING TO BUT HERE'S MY INPUT:

Of course, always blame the parents, right? Especially when there are some nuts out there who say, "Talk to your kids. Don't spank them." Yeah, the kids who end up the worse are the kids who didn't get a good swat on their ass and weren't disciplined. I knew right off the bat when I entered a public school who those kids were, and they disgusted me. They could do whatever they want with their mommy and daddy's money. They'd beg and plead at their parents because their parents raised little monsters and gave in to the kid's every little wish. Kids like those are the kids who don't give a fuck about school, only care about materialistic things and "friends" (What friends can you REALLY count on if your parents kick you out huh). It truly disgusts me. This is why I prefer Asian culture, because in Asian culture - there is much more respect to elders. You pay your parents back, the people who raised you. Here in America, there are people who move the fuck out when they turn 18 or say "I hate my parents" when they're so fucking selfish! God, it makes me sick how rotten and ungrateful some of these bastards are!

>Americans don't like to save money for whatever god damn reason.
I agree. There are so many times I've heard people "Oh I can't buy this until my next paycheck!" So, you're HOW old and living paycheck to paycheck? There are people out there who are actually working hard and on welfare, whereas there's people who buy shit they don't need and are also poor. People who are actually poor think about their neccessities. People who don't give a shit are those who I call "welfare collecting pieces of shit." I am so sick of women having baby after baby just for welfare checks. The American government is so truly fucked up. There should be less social services, it is just not right. So many people take advantage. I see so many blacks and Mexicans drop out of school and just don't work because "oh, if I don't work the government will pay for me!" I always see "homeless" (panhandlers and probably faking it) with tattoos and shit. It makes me think... Where did you get the money for those tats? They sure as hell ain't free! MY taxpayer money goes to fucking people who don't give a shit about life and just live off of government freebies. The liberal and democrat community, who support this make me sick.

The way some people here treat their parents - the people who gave birth to them - are just so sick to me. Talking back to your parents, yelling at your parents, and cursing at your parents - this will get you seriously beat in other cultures. But America? No. Daughter says "oh if you hit me I'll call child services and get you taken away." That is sick.

Another problem: Jail. Do you know how fucked up America's jail system is? oh, you killed someone and had 20+ witnesses? You'll get a trial until you're proven guilty, because everyone here deserves a second chance. And by the way, if you DO get convicted, you'll get put on death row. But it'll be at least 20-30 years before we actually do something and kill you, because we like to steal money from tax payers and treat criminals like little spoiled babies. I mean, those people in jail and prison have much better lives than me. Free food, free TV, free gym. Holy shit man. Have you seen "Shakespeare behind bars?" They even have free literature programs! And you know how much money it fucking costs to keep one of those criminals in prison per year? $300k. That's more than 90% of money I make in a year, and all of my money goes to BILLS and I don't get to shop anymore. Nope, I have full time work and full time school. I do both 40 hours a week, and i'm killed every fucking day. But those welfare babies? Oh no, not a problem!

I agree with you, but a lot of elderly aren't safe to live at home unless a family member is trained in the medical field or able to be with them 24/7.

I work at a skilled nursing facility, which most of you would call a nursing home/old folks home, and many people here can't be at home. There are dozens who could be living at home with their families, but there are also dozens who have to live where there are nurses to tend to them at any hour. A handful of residents have family members who come in SEVERAL times a day. One elderly man comes to visit his wife at every meal. He's probably in his 80's. There are at least three women that I know of who visit their parents at least twice a day.

I'm not sure, but maybe asians are less likely to develop these health problems when they age? And in asian culture, there's usually someone at home all the time or a nanny.

Also, not to stereotype, but a lot of asians usually have at least one person in the family that's in the medical field. I'm a nurse, my mom is a nurse, and many of my family members are doctors or nurses as well. In fact, 80% of the doctors and therapists where I work are asian.

I just don't think it's fair for you people to hate on white people or black people who put their parents or spouses in an "old folks home." Sometimes it's unavoidable.

His mother is 98 years old.

I know my father hires a caretaker and she takes over while he's over at work. It's $20 an hour, I don't know if that's considered pricey? He works 10 days every Monday-Saturday, so it adds up. He is in the medical field, but not as a doctor. He's an oral surgeon.

>One elderly man comes to visit his wife at every meal
I don't know why - but this was so sweet and sad that it made me cry a bit... I can't imagine getting sick and having to move into a nursing home without my husband there...

Yes, I agree with that. It's not stereotyping at all! It's being the majority of Asians are smart in academic and know how to succeed and make money. I've never seen a black or hispanic professional in my life. I've only seen Asians or whites or Indians. When i go to the pharmacy, there's always an Asian there. Sometimes the whole place is run by Asians. When I go to the hospital, I look at this large photo frame that displays every doctor's photo and what field they work in (pediatrics, optometrist, psychiatrist, etc), and a good 50% of them are always Asian.

I don't hate on white s or blacks. I can't imagine what I view of a typical black even being able to afford a nursing home. Those things are pricey.

And one question I have about nursing homes, since you work there - how much are they? And what if the people can't afford it?

Also, his mother can't dress or bathe by herself. She's had three strokes in the last 5 years, and she's going senile. She's told him that her last wish is that she dies at home, and not in a nursing place. She requested NEVER to be put into a nursing facility. It is sad, when I visit and she's just there, and sometimes she asks me who I am because she won't remember me. She gets confused too. She wakes up in the middle of the night asking for lunch or dinner, and what day it is... She has an oxygen tube with her and wears diapers because she's unable to get up without assistance to go to the bathroom (she wouldn't be able to find it either).

Can someone help me out? I ordered Infanta's Snow White series and requested my SS ship everything before CNY, thing is, the package arrived without the Infanta stuff. I already shot her an email asking for an explanation, but I think she might be on holiday already.

I have heard some rumblings that the Snow White series was delayed for some reason or another and won't be out for a bit, if someone can confirm that, I'll feel a lot better waiting the couple of weeks until my SS comes back.

Anyone still interested in making these? Rather than tacking down and handstitching them, all you do is glue the suede/ribbon/string to the back of the flower, then glue a circle of fabric/leather/whatever-material-y-prefer on top of that. You can see a black circle on the backs of the flowers in some of the photos.

Then take one end of the suede/ribbon/string and thread it through the hairclip you're using, and glue it back on itself.

Fast, easy, and no hand tacking involved.

If you ordered this while it was still in stock and it arrived at their warehouse before they shipped your goods, then it should have been included with your order.
Who do you use as an agent?
Taobaoring takes pictures of your goods when they arrive at their warehouse, I like this very much.
They tend to be rather slow sometimes though.

Agent is a local girl with contacts in China. Her system doesn't seem as organised as taobaoring, and she doesn't open any of the packages, she just tosses them into a box and ships them all.
Everything else shipped except that one set of Snow White items from Infanta. idk, I just emailed her 24 hours ago so maybe she's checking up with her contact. I wish I could remember where I'd heard that there were problems with production of that particular dress so that I can verify if it's true.

I ordered a skirt, jsk and bonnet, so taking that one package out would have left a sizeable gap, I think? The box I received was packed full (granted, it was a diy box of hacked cardboard, but still... no marks of retaping either).

It is true there were problems with the production of the dress, after Taobaoring was slow the dresses sold out and I sent Clobba an email asking if they were in stock, he said no, but they were coming back after CNY and they could be pre-ordered (which I did, I paid a 50% deposit).
He told me about the error with the shirring, which I then posted here.
But if the dresses were still in stock at the time you ordered, this should not reason for them to be missing from your parcel, as they decided to sell the stock of first.

Sizeable gap? No. Customs always open international packages and check what's in there unless you live in China! And after they take everything out to see what's in the parcel, they'll of course put everything back in. SS's tend to squish everything in the box as well. Of course not the same way that your SS re-packed it, but it's totally normal and not rare to have something go missing, especially with larger orders. Hell, my package's tracking right now's says "Status: Opening." Yes, they -no shit- open your packages.

Since she ships everything in their original packaging as it arrives from the taobao seller, it simply means one package from Infanta would be missing. I guess it does make sense.


Thank you all for clearing this up for me.

Everything I buy comes in original packaging, but every item is wrapped in a stiff plastic bag. That's how they pack each item. Usually when I buy from one store, they tend to put the hair piece, accessories, and the dress (if it's a set/series) in the same plastic bag. It is possible that the entire plastic bag is missing.

I'm the anon that lost her dream dress to China's customs. I went through a lot of trouble trying to track it down. I couldn't call China's post office, because of long-distance issues. I do speak Mandarin so I would be able to talk to them. My dress was in China's customs for 2.5 business weeks. Then it was in US for 1.5 weeks before getting to me.

The first thing I did was call the post office in my country, and then I went and Emailed the customs office in my county. Well, they told me they didn't even open my package.

Turns out, I learned it was China's post office that took my dress. I will say it's just lost, (and the changes of getting it back are slim to none, but mostly none).

I noticed on my box there was tape that said it was opened by Beijing's post office. All of my parcels (I still have the boxes) from my previous taobao orders have been opened as well by China's customs. I believe they do it for any international or overseas order.

I used Taobaoring, but like I said in the 10+ threads back, it's not their fault. Yes, I am upset and FUCKING PISSED OFF I will never get my money back. I paid nearly $100 for that dress, and that's a lot of money to be spending on one item (I'm not a diehard lolita and I don't care for brand). So yes. It was most likely taken by Chinese customs.

After I wrote in the lolita forums, I learned it's something that happens quite often.

>> No.6598029

Is there any point buying from Taobao if it is a small order? I'm only really willing to spend less than $70 or so. I've mostly heard of people buying in the hundreds of dollars to make the hassle of agents, shipping, etc, worth it. Just looking for opinions since I'm not too well-versed.

"Opening" only happens on the first day. It's only there for a few hours and then replaced by something else. For instance, the stuff that actually happens "Dispatched" or "Sorted", they show up in a list one after another and list the day/time, but with things such as "Collecting" (when they first get the package), and "Opening" (when they open the package right after the get it), show up for a very short period of time and disappear.

Sorry, I meant the agent puts the entire package as they arrive from the taobao shop in a box and mails the box to me. The agent doesn't open the package or repacks it. So it would be an entire package from Infanta to the agent, complete with address labels and all, that is missing.

That's why I originally said there should be a lot of slack in the box, this would be the biggest package as everything else I ordered is just one skirt or one blouse or a bunch of socks/accessories. Actually I think the width of the box won't fit a bonnet, but I guess if everything was rolled or folded up it can be a pretty small package.

>>6598028
I don't actually have the customs inspection tape on mine, just one that says be careful (fragile contents?). That's why I said it didn't look like the box was retaped or anything.

I feel for your loss though, $100 is a lot of money for me too. I take it you weren't able to claim anything from the post office either.

The colors are in the item/title name, each add is for one particular color, and the other photos in the description are just different variations of the product.

It's not that they're particularly dangerous products, its more that you're only paying a couple of dollars so it's bound to be lower quality such as being low pigmented rather than actually requiring you to see the doctor because your face is about to peel off into your lap.

your average factory in china may not have invested in a full-fledged lab, hiring chemists and dermatologists to develop products that are not supposed to harm you. you are paying that extra money for the brains and technology that produce your cosmetics.

What shipping method you are using?

For customs, use this: http://www.tulli.fi/fi/yksityisillnetista_ostaminen/nettituonti/ind.jsp
Of course you have specify price for each item, so you have to calculate new price for each item that match shipping costs. (aka if stuff itself cost $100, and shipping was $50, mark -50% off price). And when they ask shipping cost, just put $0 over there, as almost every "directly selling chinese sellers, like DX" got that free shipping.

Myself I never did that, but that way it would work.

I was not expecting it to be outside my door (Shipped out the 28th) and I was really happy though.
Overall, I'm sorta kinda pleased with everything?
The pastel sweater I got is too big, but that can be fixed.
Rilakkuma pillow & hooded blanket are adorable and I love them.
Wig is a tad too dark, and not cut. Which the 1st part isn't bad, but I'm afraid to cut it.

Yes... They're the same... It's a universal measurement.
However they use cm over there, but yes if your measurements correspond than they'll be the same.
Inches/cm are the best ways of measurements. I hate that America has shit like S/M/L. That shit isn't accurate.

Off topic a bit:
I once sold something to a girl. The tag said a size medium but I listed measurements and said the measurements are a size XL and XLL (plus sized).
Anyways, this bitch comes back and throws a hissy fit at me saying I mislead her and sent her a medium. I told her that measurements are more important and she said "WHO THE FUCK IS GONNA MEASURE THEMSELVES?"
Anyways, I told her to just "try the fucking shit on before bitching to me", and she did and she said, "Thank you, I didn't know I was really a size medium."

EMS. I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

I wondered if I should go through with that internet customs thing and when I tried they actually offer you to put simply just one bulk cost and weight, so you shouldn't need to go through each and every item. Unfortunately it did not work for me. The page kept demanding me to put new price on some items and completely skipped prices on the rest. When I tried to redo things or edit, nothing happened.
Also they have this list of items where you have to choose from and some of the items that I had in my package did not even have a subcategory or anything. What I should've done is called the customs, ask for a specific code for an item, tap it in and rinse and repeat. Maybe I'm lazy, but it felt like a hassle to me, especially since I'm not too willing to be so forthcoming on my total price of the package. I'll swing by and get my package on monday.

That EMS explains why it got stuck, never had customs problems with airmail.

I think with internet customs they rarely bother to open package, "as long you pay something", and I heard only one case when they asked receipt (compared to three cases when they passed fake value without asking).

It's also interesting to hear that, I'm almost hysterical about the customs going through my things. I keep picturing this large dude trashing through my stuff with greasy palms, trying on my underwear, stealing my jewellry, shit like that.

http://www.tulli.fi/fi/tiedotteet/iakastiedotteet/yhteiset/as_tiedo_20121220_1/index.html this could explain why this time EMS package got stuck. At this year I used two times (taobaoring's) airmail, and like I said, these orders went well. Of course shipping time is that ~two weeks and they don't bring package to door, but I can deal with it.

With internet customs it much easier, even if custom's office is near of you. Over there it's sure you have to open package and go through all items.
Now on customs it's most likely something "looks fine and it's paid, next package!".

Oh! And I made this. People were right, it was super easy, even though I kind of cheated. I bought an elastic headband with spaced out flowers from Forever 21 and just cut it into a cord (the head band was just $1.50) and it looked pretty much just like the picture just with only one color of flowers instead of like 3 or 4.

Quick question, does anyone know where I could find a black maxi skirt (not made of wool) on taobao that doesn't have an elastic waist band but a zipper instead? This is killing me. I've been looking for days and can't find one and I'm not sure if maybe I'm just searching under the wrong thing or what.

I have to imagine that plain black maxi skirt without an elastic waistband has to exist!

Everyone started like that on Taobao.
It's like those Chinese sellers on eBay. Then only sell shit for cheap for FEEDBACK and more ratings, it's the exact same system with Taobao. I don't buy it. I only care for reviews, not how much shit the store has sold!
On eBay, I only have a score of 22. Does that mean I'm not reputable or a scammer, compared to those Chinese wholesalers who sell a bunch of trinkets for $.99 free shipping, who have sold 999999+ items?

I don't want to sound like a damn white knight, but just because they are copying the Japanese brand doesn't mean this is Lockshop's supplier, in fact, since she had to do two orders (the first ones were not right, didn't connect or something on the design, she had pictures up on tumblr) then if the supplier was selling on taobao, they would have sold the defect versions.

I believe this is just a shop doing a replica of the originals... it's just irritating to me when people see something on taobao that looks in any way similar to another stores items and automatically assume that's the supplier to that store. Lockshops don't even look like the japanese brand ones, which have ankle joints I believe.

Well, according to what >>6601147 and >>6601157 , the above >>6601019 are the photos of the Japanese release - and as you can see, they don't have ankle joints.

I took a picture of Lockshop's tights. I received them today (took roughly 2 months to get here).

I have a bunch of those "tattoo" tights from Taobao/eBay/China as well, and the skin color and texture of the Lockshops tights is the EXACT same as the Taobao/eBay/China tattoo tights.

Also, she lied about the stretching of the tights. These tights won't fit you if you're above 5 foot 6. I nearly ripped my tights from stretching them so much (I'm 5 foot 7), and they still wouldn't get up. I am also very thin, so yes, I do believe she bought them from Taobao.

yeah she did design them, or her WIPs are very very cunningly done to make people believe she did. Still, original point, she designed them, a chinese factory made them and sent them to her. That supplier did not sell them on taobao or else people would have found them by now. Same with her wigs, designed, made in china, can't find the exact designs on taobao because the supplier does not resell them on taobao. It's not a hard concept.

Holding up? Eh. To be honest: I kind of rebuy them every few months (like every two months maybe) because while they're still good they lose how soft and silky they are after about two months.

With all this commotion about BJD tights, I don't think Lockshop's are worth the price. They're made in China, in a fucking sweatshop where all of those other tights are made. The quality can't be that bad of a difference to justify the fucking hefty price she put on it.

Just like Angelic Pretty makes everyone in Japan, right? If you have a Japanese supervisor at the production in China, or even just design the product in Japan, you can legally say that it's made in Japan. Don't let that fool you, they will too try to cut costs as much as possible, that's how a business works. I actually know this fact because I work for a major shoe brand that does this too, they have an Italian supervisor in China and after production they ship everything back to Italy to have it packed so they can write "Made in Italy" on it.

I'm sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with your purchase, and I would like to clarify a few things, since there seem to be some false assumptions...

That they are the same material as tights you can purchase from Taobao, does not mean that they actually are from Taobao. If you want me to, I can provide all the pictures I have of the designing and making process. I actually had to go through various factories before I found one that could do seamless printing (which is quite expensive to do actually)! What sets them apart from the tights commonly found on Taobao is the print, not the material, it's just a common material that's very popular in tights, and a safe choice regarding the quality.

I did in no way lie about the stretching of the tights, I'm 178cm, about 5'10 or 5'11 and they fit me with a bit of room left. I've also recently gained a bit of weight and they still fit me fine. Sorry for the underpants picture, but I wanted to show that they do indeed fit at my length. My hips are about 37 inch, so they are not the smallest either.

Why they don't fit you, I don't know. They should, especially if you are skinny.

DAMN is that you, Choke?
I love that you've gained some weight (though it only looks like five pounds, you're still so thin.) because you have the body shape I really aspire to have.
Sorry for creepfest 2013. Have you ever posted on your blog about your diet/exercise routine?

That said, I'm still going to order the taobao replica tights instead of yours. Their knee joints seem larger and my knees are a little elongated.


Yoybuy asked me if I can wait until february 20th to actually order the tights, which is fine. I've already paid so they should purchase them from the shop immediately when they can.


Also, this is my small shitty order.
I just wanted the heart garter, and was going to order lots more, but then realized Bhiner doesn't have SAL. When I chose the cheapest shipping option (Airmail HK) for -just- the garter, it told me $24 so I added on just tights.
In the end, because it was only 400 grams, I had the option of small packet shipping (under 2kg) and it turned out to be much less.
So, I could have added on a lot more items. Next time I'm going with yoybuy + taobaoring, I like their service better. I definitely did not spend my money wisely with this order.
