>tfw tiny asian but bigger bust than typical
>the struggle between tight/busting chest area vs oversized clothes that engulf you (not that cute oversized baggy look)
>get a small, still too big and awkward looking
>one size fits all, still too big
>follow size chart, decide that I need a medium to accommodate for bust, too big everywhere

I figured I'd be a bit bigger because bust and my body shape is boxier than typical asians but taobao's clothes are still awkward looking and big on me. I wear xp for a fitted look and a s for a comfortable fit in most western brands.

Why don't clothes look right on me even when I'm following each seller's sizing charts?

>> No.7983945

>>7983871
Because as you say, your bust is larger than the average Asian size.

I would learn how to sew. It's pretty easy to modify clothes. I do it with taobao stuff all the time because my breasts makes my size XL/XXL according to sizing charts.

>> No.7983972

>>7983945
But even when I buy a small the whole thing looks too large on me even though my sizes fall within their chart measurements. Luckily I can sew (to some degree), I make my stuff from scratch though so I'm not too familiar with modifying clothes. I hope I don't destroy it lol

Seifuku: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?_u=910du4ojb877&id=19445494898

It's really cheaply made (18.90 yuan so no wonder). Material is a really stretchy polyester so it just goes over your head like a tshirt. It's really thin so if you wear black underneath it will show a bit. Collar and skirt are just one layer of polyester. Ribbon is shiny and cheap. I'll see if I can take pics tomorrow, camera died just as I was about to start

Would recommend getting a size or two up if you don't want it to stick to your body.

School bag: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.0.l7WGYV&id=39031486316&_u=910du4oj3a1f

The quality of this thing is so good holy shit. The material looks great, doesn't smell, and construction is very sturdy. It's not very heavy and has tons of space. Underneath the straps are magnetic clips so you don't have to keep undoing the straps to open the bag. It also comes with a little key. The bag is really big - I'm 170cm and it's teetering between just barely right and a bit too big.

What looks like scuff marks on the clasp is just scratched tape the actual thing is unscathed.

like unless youre rich and you're not hurting anyone/taking your parents money all the time for it, maybe it wont bite you in the butt *as* much because theres a little less guilt involved when youre done being addicted.
i felt like a terrible person afterwards.
in my situation i was using my dads money and constantly buying weeaboo clothes because my bf at the time was making people up and claiming they did the same thing, it really messed with my head. the shopping addiction wasnt even the worst part, he was forcing me to do repulsive fetish shit on skype when i was 15-16 and calling me asexual if i didnt do anything. he took tons of screencaps when i wasnt ok with it and made me cry on skype dozens of times every day

I've been in a similar situation to yours though, so I totally believe that happened, and I'm sorry that it did.

Been in a similar situation myself. He had mommy issues, I had daddy issues/abuse and wanted to be loved. He knew i liked cosplay and lolita so spent years getting me to do more daring stuff on skype and I was desparate to not let him lose interest in me buying costumes like crazy, but was struggling with feeling dirty/slutty vs a normal healthy amount of sexuality. He spent alot of money on me too. Now whenever I get dressed up I feel bad about 'perversion' in the back of my mind. I can't ever wear the cosplays he asked me to wear anymore. I fucking cleaned his room and answered the door for pizza in a meido uniform for someone who reeeeally fucked with my head. No idea what to do with the costumes and underwear and shit. He had the passwords to my social media accounts and LOTS of pics/screencaps so I know the fear of not staying on their good side....

my ex used to send me nudes of his friends all the time, some of them he just took off the internet and tried to say he was "kidding" and got defensive when i called him out on it
he basically made up these people who were ginger sisters, but they were definitely not real living people, he randomly fell in love with them sometimes. he talked about them all the time and i had to basically compete with them. he was always claiming they did these ridiculous things on skype, for example pissing and fighting and fucking eachother, he made me skype him 24/7 and i was even on cam while i was sleeping so i was always being watched. i felt like i had to always be doing amusing retarded shit to compete with them. every time i asked if they were real or proof that theyre real he got super defensive and i was p convinced they were real. then one day he just randomly blocked me

All of these were updated hours later than the timestamp says. It's noon here and it just did the sorting complete one so I have no idea if everything is delayed and my package is already on a mail truck for delivery or what.

Crafts anon here. I filled out Yoybuy's customary feedback for when your package arrives and mentioned the issue I had with the sweater and the bag it came in and they've actually contacted me back about it and asked me for my photos that I offered to supply so I've just sent those in. Honestly didn't expect them to do anything at all. I'm only out $4 on it and it's a beautiful sweater otherwise if I can get the smell out since I'm starting to think most of it was caused by whatever moisture was in the package..or at least made worse by it.

Just hope they don't start thinking I'm some kind of trouble buyer since I order from them at least three times a year and up until now I've only had one minor issue with a past package which was stationary being bent up.

Body Height, bust, waist, hip is what I figure from it but that's pretty nonsensical for a skirt (no length?) and I really don't see anyone's underbust requiring 80cm when you have a 60cm waist. Doesn't look that extreme on the picture either.

I'm not sure about logging in as your ss, but a bunch of the ss sites have shopping carts.

For instance, Taobaoring has a shopping cart where you copy and paste in the links for the items you want and it automatically gives you the color and size options that you can scroll through and select. It also saves your order list so you can add to it later before you submit it.

Yah pretty much, there's a section that asks for which forwarding service you want since it'll auto register that you have an overseas address. I haven't done any preorder items but I assume you pay and the service just waits for your item to arrive? The 20 day limit doesn't start until your item actually gets to their warehouse.

another anon here - I live in nothern germany and things sent with singapore Airmail never got caught. TBR declares always a lower value (like 16$ or so) and it worked the four times I used it.
But I'd say if you have shoes or a bag insinde they will most likely catch it, because it could be a possible knock off. All shoes I got from China until now got catched.
If you have a huge package there is still the possibility of using Yanwen, which takes a diffrent route and so avoids customs (they are going through UK or something like that) but as far as I know Yanwen is really expensive.

My 12/12 order with the forwarding service to the US!

Also reporting back on the 12/12 coupons. That little orange box below certain items that says anywhere from 5-30 yuan are the items that the coupons collected can be used on. You can only use the amount specified on that item from your coupon total. So I went in with 50 yuan coupon total, only got to use 30 of it. The coupon does apply in addition to any discount that is already happening for 12/12 so I basically got the 210 yuan sailor moon dress for 170 yuan before shipping.

The coupon thing shows up at the end of your order page sorry I didn't take pictures.

Strawberry socks: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.206.uzisfq&id=41641346199&_u=c10du4oj89c2

These socks are exactly like the photo and they're very comfortable. Largest foot size it can accommodate is probably an 8 (my feet are 24cm long and they fit nicely - has space for probably another centimetre at most).

Cat hoodie: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.212.ryRWtk&id=41629418319&_u=c10du4ojefbf

If anyone still wants reviews/sources I'd be glad to supply them

First time ordering with the forwarding service went pretty well. I picked 4px (Australia has 3 options but I see people go with 4px the most so I chose that). Things you have to remember are that each package only holds 20 orders (1 seller = 1 order) and that they do not unpack or repack the items for you. These are pretty much non-negotiable. Also you can only have them hold the stuff for 20 days before they start charging you 1 yuan per order per day.

4px staff were helpful when I asked them about repacking etc, they replied quickly and politely. I don't know if they speak English though - I know lequgou doesn't because I asked for a friend who was doing another order.

They ship all your stuff by just chucking everything in this thin plastic/straw sack so if you have anything fragile make sure you tell the seller to add extra packaging because 4px will not do it for you.

All in all it was pretty good - there weren't any complications and my stuff arrived quickly and in good condition. Boxes were a bit battered but nothing was damaged. I had a box of glasses that were unscathed. If you are worried like I was, separate the heavy things from the others (I left the smaller items like the glasses with the clothing and put all the bags in the same package).

tl;dr would recommend forwarding service unless you need to communicate with the seller and need checking of items and repacking

>> No.7990284

>>7990264
>they do not unpack or repack the items for you
Just wondering, how do they know that all your stuff arrived if they don't repack for you? That means that your individual items were weighed with the individual seller's packaging as well then. Or did you even get individual item weights? Not from Australia so I'm not sure about the options you have but my forwarding service had a page where they updated when my item from each seller had arrived with each item's weight and they repacked it all into 1 box for me without me asking since I assumed they would not.

>> No.7990300

>>7990260
You likely won't get your order before Christmas, sorry anon. Why not ask them to split your order into two smaller shipments?

This is how the tracking numbers update the first few times.

But otherwise I'm not sure why. My last order was sent back 4 times I think before it finally got through. The first time they said it may have been glue in the package? Something weird like that.. but I dont really have any idea at all.. Just annoys me cos I pay so much for shipping that is supposed to only take a week and when it finally gets through it does only take a week, but it takes 2 - 3 weeks to get through.

You chose a forwarding option right? Like the one embedded into the taobao checkout page. Those don't do repackaging. That looks terrible, they sent you straight all the fully packaged items as received in China not even opened. I mean they can read the shipping order to see who it's from and what's supposed to be in it but there's no guarantee you got your stuff.

Much better just to pay a little more handling for a shopping service. You save in actually getting 100% of what you ordered, service, and saved shipping from them dumping all that extra packaging.

Yoybuy contacted me about my sweater issue (arrived damp in a clear bag that had sticky moisture on the inside and the sweater smelled a mixture of musty and burning) and they asked me if the sweater was fine otherwise and I said I was happy with it aside from the packaging/smell so they gave me some suggestions on how to get rid of the smell and gave me 2000 points in my Yoybuy Points account so with the points I already have I can get like a $2 off voucher. Which was half the price of the sweater.

Honestly, I didn't expect them to even offer that since I didn't submit a ticket about it. I just mentioned it on my feedback and then they contacted me and offered to fix the situation.

What. Why do you think your oldest sweatshirt is the most comfortable? It's why dress pants often have dry clean only on the label, even when the material is washable. Fibers break down, lose their structure and rigidity. Depending on how compact the fibers are, some material will be lost each wash (the lint in your dryer trap) which looses the weave and gives a softer feeling. And finally, almost all companies use unwashed fabric in garments, so washing removes the sizing used in its production.

I just like the glitch-like designs and was curious if anyone had any of that OR anything SIMILAR that I could look through. No need to get your panties in a twist.

Are there any petite stores on taobao? I know this sounds redundant but I'm really short and the general small sizes still hang on me kind of awkwardly.

who did you order from ?

Yoybuy
I ordered a pillow, a cell phone charm, one jumper, and a bunch of socks.

>> No.7991811

>>7991808
Your shipping is probably high because of how much space the pillow takes.

>> No.7991814

>>7991811
It apparently weighs 0.8kg, but you might be right. Could I, in future, ask them to remove the inside of the pillow and just send the cover? I didn't think to do that. Also 3 of the sock pairs come to 0.35kg.

Um that's why I said except for getting stretched out, but that's different to the fabric getting softer, which does not happen. Fabric will not magically change like that. And even as you say for old clothes "getting more comfortable", I've never had clothing fabric change that much from when I bought it than getting a little looser, it pretty much stays the same. So yeah, it's still kind of a weird thing to think that fabric will get soft if you wash/wear it a few times if it doesn't feel nice to begin with.

I'm an artist selling my own clothing designs too and I cannot blame anyone in the slightest for wanting to buy replicas of omocat's stuff. Her prices are ridiculous and just fucking greedy, she way overcharges. And yeah ok she is entitled to do that, of course she is. But I cannot blame people for wanting a cheaper product by buying a replica for a fairer/cheaper price.

Would probably depend on the pillow you got and what kind of casing it has.

That's honestly not that bad I recently got a order from celestial delinquent at around that weight for $75 with EMS
Can't use budget express for much of a discount anymore since she updated her policy for that to use volumetric weight.
I'm so done using her.
Going to switch to forwarding services from yoybuy and taobao.
And probably taobaotrends for shipping service when I need custom sizing.
I've already used the taobao forwarding service once and it went fine.

I need to pick out a custom colour for shoes from this chart but image-to-text + translation is garbling everything.

Because they're showing what I think is white as grey. And because I don't know what's special about the whites on the right. Are they leather? Glitter?? And the one at the bottom is... shiny/glossy? I just wanna be sure about this.

Anyone know a good store to buy cute push-up bras for small ribcages? I have a 66 cm ribcage and 86 cm bust (which translates roughly to a US 30D).

I can find some in the US, but they all seem to think that you don't want/need a push-up bra if you're over a C cup...

That's a little bigger than me, and tbh I just get a bra in a sister size.
Try a few on until you find a comfy one. 32C shouldn't be too hard to find.
I found some really cute ones at Burlington Coat Factory recently actually. Random but they have a lot of nice bras for cheap.

I'm retarded for not expecting something of shit quality to magically become comfortable because you wash it/wear it a few times? Are you even listening to yourself?
I don't even know what kind of clothes you wear because I have never had clothes fabric change drastically over use, even shit I've been wearing for years. I don't find older things to be comfier, in fact they become thinner and flimsier. I've absolutely never had an article of clothing go from crap to comfy and soft, ever.
Stretching happens, but something being looser =/= it being soft and better. If the material is itchy and not nice it's going to stay that way, it "wearing out over time" is not going to change that. I know exactly what you were explaining before but it doesn't change the fact it's not going to change the material from being yucky to being nice. It's a ridiculous thing to think of.

Why do you think the term 'break in shoes' or 'break in corsets' exists? Because rigid material becomes softer and more accommodating after multiple uses. A person will obviously prefer skating in more broken in skates than absolutely new ones because the latter will chafe (thus are uncomfortable).

And that was what OP was asking about. No one claimed that an itchy shirt will become less itchy over time, just that a crisp t-shirt will become nice and comfy after being washed and slept in.
