/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So I maaaay have overdone it a bit, but with birthday money, new job and upcoming cons I figure I may as well treat myself. (Really excited to have found that particular liz lisa piece after having searched for it for a couple years now too!)
Everything in pink is due to arrive here in the next day or so, everything in blue is awaiting shipment from FJ and purple is still in the process of being quoted/ordered through Buynosaur

>>8934361
Isabelle! Good taste anon. 10/10

Mail so far. Only the socks have been shipped yet, sadly. Uniqso cancelled the most important part of my contact lens order and I'm pretty irritated about that.

>>8934470
Cute haul! I have those same shoes in navy and they're my absolute favourites (hoping to order another colour or two soon); I'm sure you'll love them

Took advantage of Bodyline's sale because, dammit, I need more lolita things.

Blue is recnt bl order. I've got the tracking number but nothing's shipped yet.
Pink will be here this week, its in like two cities over so it might be here tomorrow.
Yellow apparently shipped out a few days ago but no tracking info yet?

>>8934680
*recent god, I need to spellcheck before i post

only this on the way now

Teeny tiny order this time round, but I've wanted this blouse for a while now so I'm happy. Also just received some hoop wire but that's not nearly as exciting.

it's bodyline sales
a good friend agreed to treat me for my birthday which makes this super awesome

I've wanted this custew in pink forever, it literally became a dream piece for me, and I finally managed to get it for an amazingly good price (£30 inc shipping) and then customs goes and charges me £21 customs. That's 70%. So annoyed, my excitement for this has been so trampled on by that extra bullshit charge.

>>8934638
They're on sale, so I was very tempted to buy multiple colours but shoes are expensive to ship. If I like them I'll probably go for more.

Finally got to pay for the shipping on my taobao order as well as picked up a few things from auctions.
Blue dots are shipped, pink is pre-order, green are things I still waiting for shipping on, and the one gray dot is because that item was out of stock by the time my ss got to it.

I'm travelling to Sverige in Summer for a friend's wedding, and I need a light, airy, comfortable dress to wear so I've narrowed it down to these three.
I know people say don't wear white for a wedding but I think that's kind of an old fashioned taboo and fine if your dress is plain and not too flashy, which the one I'm looking at is.

(regarding the white dress thing, of course tell me if you think I'm wrong. I've only ever been to one other wedding and I had the dress bought for me so I'm shit at this kind of stuff)

I'm waiting on a metric fuckton of stickers, and some molds. One of my molds said it reached my country on the 28th of last month, so I'm not sure what the hold up is.

>>8934902
you seem to be in the /cgl/ mail thread not on facebook
and you are definitely wrong and the Swedish people will look at you weirdly. the one single exception I've seen to that rule in the Nordics is when a wedding was in July and it was so hot that almost everyone had to wear white linen.
in addition all of those look like they're made of synthetics, you'll hate yourself if you wear those out with 30+

>>8934979

>you seem to be in the /cgl/ mail thread not on facebook
Yes but it's something that's about to become something arriving in the mail and I don't know who else to ask.

>and you are definitely wrong and the Swedish people will look at you weirdly
m8 they're Swedes, not fairies with specific rituals and ancient laws.

>the one single exception I've seen to that rule in the Nordics is when a wedding was in July
I just said it was a Summer wedding.

>in addition all of those look like they're made of synthetics, you'll hate yourself if you wear those out with 30+
Fair enough.

>>8934869
Ugh, I'm so heartbroken because Taobaoring fucked up my pre-order on the deer dress even though I ordered it 5 days prior. Hope you enjoy it though, it's so pretty!

>>8934982
>Yes but it's something that's about to become something arriving in the mail and I don't know who else to ask.
reddit for general fashion advice. or try /fa/ lol

>m8 they're Swedes, not fairies with specific rituals and ancient laws.
yeah, great if you feel that way, except in Sweden the only social events where one wears a white dress are your wedding and your graduation. like sure go ahead if you want to be a special snowflake, but you will be side-eyed.

>I just said it was a Summer wedding.
there's a difference between a summer wedding and a summer wedding. half of the summer is +15 and pouring rain over here

>>8935000

>or try /fa/ lol
Clearly you've never been to /fa/. It's full of chain-smoking faggots who still think Cole Mohr is a "thing".

>>8935000
> like sure go ahead if you want to be a special snowflake, but you will be side-eyed
K' so I literally just asked all of 9 Swedish friends including the groom and they all said it's fine.

>>8935004
>not understanding a joke
and alright, guess they're young and progressive or whatever. old people will still glare at you. why are you asking /cgl/ in the first place if you could ask the people involved?

>tfw seeing this thread has just reminded me that I was grinched in the Christmas exchange
These scars they do not heal

>>8935006

>not understanding a joke
You didn't say anything funny.

>and alright, guess they're young and progressive or whatever
Nope, we're all aged 24-28.

>why are you asking /cgl/ in the first place if you could ask the people involved?
They're all men. You're all women.

>>8934979
Hi, Swede here. Could you please stop being offended and triggered in our name? It does nothing but make you sound like a jealous smug bitch. By the by, it can get up to 30 here but it's rarely '+', and while it's hot it's not that hot.
>>8935000
>yeah, great if you feel that way, except in Sweden the only social events where one wears a white dress are your wedding and your graduation. like sure go ahead if you want to be a special snowflake, but you will be side-eyed.
Dude nobody here is a sensitive snowflake with delicate sensibilities, nobody's gonna 'side-eye' anyone. It's the 21st century nigger, few people here have ever heard of yank rules about wearing white at a wedding. Let the poor girl wear what she wants.
>there's a difference between a summer wedding and a summer wedding. half of the summer is +15 and pouring rain over here
Didn't you just say it was '30+' and she was gonna die of heat stroke in those 'nasty synthetics'?
>>8935006
>old people will still glare at you
who cares. the only people who get this uppity about breaking social '''norms'''' are americans who think they're an authority on the culture of a country they've lived in for a year, which you suspiciously sound like.

Please fuck off, kthx. And it's not like we haven't had these types of questions before.

>>8934902
>I know people say don't wear white for a wedding
This isn't America. Plenty of folk here wear white.
You might need to bring a cardigan or light jacket for the evening. And just call it Sweden, this way it sounds really pretentious.

Have fun anon, say congrats to your friends for me.

>>8935018
sending you to effay was a joke, which you apparently somehow managed to not pick up on despite me even using 'lol' with it. 24-28 is pretty fucking young and progressive, and we're not going to know what your friends find okay at their wedding. we can tell you the tradition and that's it.

>>8934902
Go with something with colour, maybe something a little more dressy than those dresses, since it's kind of poor taste to dress in white and the white dress is really ugly. Bring a cardigan, an umbrella/raincoat and whatever you want to use to /try/ to combat the mosquitoes.

>>8935047
>we're not gonna tell you what they find ok at their wedding but we're still gonna give you 'advice' you didn't ask for regardless of what the actual bride and groom want

you sound like those people who warn american girls not to wear jeans in France because 'they won't blend in' despite the fact that lots of people wear them
Funny how with things like this nobody actually asks the people who live there, it's always some smug anglo acting the expert at someone else's culture

>>8935035
holy shit you're retarded. I've lived in Sweden for the past 4 years and I'm from another Nordic country, can you imagine that different people have different views on traditions?? the tradition is the bride wears white, and in my experience people both here and in my home country get snotty as fuck if someone breaks that rule with no good reason. none of us is going to know if OP's friends are traditionfags or not unless she asks them, which she did. it will still tickle the bums of the old people, and it would tickle my bum if I was involved, but it's not my fucking wedding.

>Didn't you just say it was '30+' and she was gonna die of heat stroke in those 'nasty synthetics'?
jesus christ, compare early June to late July/August? not to mention that it rains 1/3 of the time. it's like you've never stepped out of your house before

>>8935073
Aaanyway, moving on from the unrelated, nice stuff, anon

First time I've ordered from both CC and AB. I'm super excited!

The Alice Auaa dress is for a friend tho

>>8935035

Thanks Anon, for the advice and for savaging that cuck lel

>and just call it Sweden
Yeah, bad habit. When I'm on Discord with my friends I say Sverige and Svenska.

>>8935014
I was grinched by a couple of mine. How would you like some free handmade things?

>>8935014
Same. Typical Mexicans.

>>8935242
Tfw sent mexican anon a present but she never posted about it

I bet none of you can guess who I'm cosplaying hue hue hue

Top two are eBay, bottom are aliexpress. All are shipped, so now we just play the waiting game. So excited!

>>8935226
You're a total sweetheart anon
It's okay, I need want any gifts, but even though it sucks that you and >>8935242 got grinched I feel a bit better not being alone in it

People can be such dicks, it would be fine if we at least got messages saying why they couldn't or something

>>8935356
Different anon but it was shady from the get go with the anon from Mexico who got mixed up with someone else and then never posted. Didn't they find out Mexico-anon signed up for a ton of gifts as well? No one ever posted about getting anything from them either.

>>8935014
Same. ;_;
>mfw grinch check never happened

Pre-ordered my painful husband off amiami, now to wait.

>buy 3 magazines from cdjapan
>has to pay $8 to customs
>sure
>+$23 "handling fee"
FUCK OFF

>>8935507
Nice husbando you got there

>>8935060
>in my country
>which still isn't Sweden
Still waiting on the reason why you thought it was your place to lecture her about muh traditions then

>>8935507
>KARAMATSU GIRL

>>8934902
I wore an ivory lolita dress to a wedding. If the bride ok's it, she ok's it. I say go with number 1

>>8935255
Skirt and lashes link?

>>8938193
>both here
>and in my home country
reading comprehension, honey

>>8934869
Heyyy that's awesome, I hope the baby op works out for you.

I found a lot of things I've been searching for forever this month!

This is my favourite everyday dress. I have it in olive, now waiting for one in brown.

Got some nice things from auctions. I realised AP hat is probably from 2002 after purchasing it.

My wrist cuffs came just now. I've waited years for these exact wrist cuffs to go on sale. I know AP has released other strawberry wristcuffs but there's something really satisfying about getting the exact item you've had on your mind for years.

>>8935242
>>8935255
>>8935371
That Mexican anon was shady through the whole exchange and was never outed so it'd be known not to allow her her to participate again, especially given the number of gifts she received. The organisers fumbled on that one.

>I still mad

My AP Holy Lantern set came in today, so now I'm waiting on my Merry Making JSK, a bunch of stuff from Aliexpress, figures, and some shirts from Spencers. Also some clear files from Amiami but I'm too lazy to go find the pictures.

>>8941192
link to that neko atsume sweater?

Hey gulls, what's a good shopping service to use for Y!J? Something I want to bid on is blacked out by Buyee

>>8941202
Sure!

>>8940523
sauce on jacket

>>8941206
FJ is good for that imho, instant bidding too (and some cheap shipping options)

>>8941223
thanks!

>>8941206
I use Japonica Market, they're pretty good.

I sold some brand recently so I went and bought a decent amount of lolita/cosplay/normie stuff. I also did a bodyline order which I will reply to this post with.

>>8942239

>>8942239
Loving that pleather jacket.

Yumekawaii buys. Menhera-chan was a little impulse buy, because I sort of wanted something from that series.

bought this yesterday. now I have this JSK in both black x white and red x white. also ordered a GLB vol. 20

>>8941177
What could the organizers have done about it, though? No one knew that Mexico-anon would sketch out until it happened.

My meet ups this afternoon and my blouse I needed hasn't arrived yet

>>8942239
sauce on strawberry dress and donut dress?

>>8942951
They could have requested feedback in the beginning, and when she didn't reply or when she grinched, they could have outed her so she wouldn't be able to participate again. It was unfair on all the anons who were matched with her.

>>8943197
Wasn't feedback a requirement? Pretty sure people couldn't sign up for gifts without it. Plus, the anons matched with her could have outed her, which they should have done once the Christmas organizers dropped contact. Other than that, you still would have been grinched by her.

>>8943203
what if organiser was Mexicoanon

*plot twist*

>>8943206
Considering Santa dropped off the face of the earth around that time, maybe.

>>8943206
There were two organizers for the event, so I doubt that would have been the case unless is was a double person job.

>>8943216
the santa's helper anon said that she hadn't had contact with santa after the event either

>>8943227
But she still would have known Santa's real name/address if they had signed up? Mexico-anon had been mentioned in the White Day thread briefly. At least I think SMMM is Mexico-anon.

>>8943247
how'd she know which one of the names and addresses was real santa? like yeah, could be first on the list, but she might've planned this and hidden her name
I'm going slightly into conspiracy territory here so I'll stop

>>8942995
Hi there, theyre both from a shop on taobao called Sankousan. I'm not sure if theyre in the shop anymore, I got mine off 2.taobao.com for 60cny each

help I think I bodyline'd too hard
http://imgur.com/a/6jxNy

My dream dress arrived in the mail yesterday! I'm so happy to wear Lief's Sacred Night in ivory.

I have another dream dress arriving in a few days. It's been stuck in Chicago.

Should be coming in mid April-end of April. Not really in a rush to be getting them since my next con isn't till June.

My first Innocent World dress has shipped out from CC and I'm super excited. I always do a country lolita coord when the weather starts to get nicer.

>>8934806
What the fuck? I don't think I've ever been hit by customs for anything less than £50. Fuck those guys. I'm sorry anon, at least you got your dream cutsew.

>>8943696
Who from Zootopia are you cosplaying?

>>8935014
I made a few emergency Santa posts offering free handmade trinkets and no one took the offer.I just wanted people to get better things than I did. I a still bitter I spent a month making thing and all I got was a card without a name and three words on it

I stupidly got partial tracking on a taobao order and ive been panicking and kicking myself bc it left hong kong (I used buynosaur as my ss) a little over a week ago and that's where the partial tracking ended and let me just say that I am never doing partial tracking again I've learned my lesson

>>8944414
Going to be cosplaying Judy. Thinking about just doing it for a shoot with my Nick. We're not really keen on wearing them to cons.

>>8934869
where did you get the pants?

>>8941192
How much did you get the HQ's for on Y!JP?
Also would you be kind enough to link the brushes?

Probably the only AP main piece I'll ever own, not usually my style, but I hardly ever see it up for sale in such nice condition, let alone the set. I'm really really excited!

>>8946772
I'm super jelly

I caved for cheap brand. The Gentleman Rabbit isn't my preferred cut but it's my preferred colourway.

>>8946933
That dress on the left is gorgeous, sauce?

>>8946936
Jane Marple Regimental Dot OP

http://lolibrary.org/apparel/regimental-dot-op

>>8946933
Awesome find and well done on the gentleman rabbit! Someday we'll twin (your not so anon friend)

>>8946960
I'm always up for twinning. That mint OP would look killer on you to.

I bought over 20ish molds, a lot of beads, preordered some thigh highs from an art anon on the menhera thread, these cool looking band aid socks, kamikaze girls cause why not, and my first ever OP! I am so excited to start making my own accessories from resin, I am still looking around for menhera themed shirts since ordering from the site, ttrinity.jp scares me a lot due to sizing.

>>8946988
sorry for the double post but I did not believe my picture would look this bad, I apologize.

>>8940523
sauce on the two bags?

>>8934470
sauce on the cute star puffs?

I got IW's Antique Book in bordeaux in the mail yesterday. I'm going to take a break going after my dream dresses and hunt down some good blouses from AatP along with some new accessories.

The glasses are both prescription. I already recieved my main piece, petticoat, and a chocomint ring.

>>8947929
Source on the glasses? I've never seen that shape in prescription...

>>8947957
Zenni optical, they're $20 something too and I bought them friday and they're having a free anti reflective coating sale with the code FREEAR

>>8948050
Different anon but thanks for this! I definitely want to get some new frames.

>>8948050
That coating makes so much of a difference in pictures. I only got it on one of the 3 pairs I ordered from them but regret not shelling out for all 3.

>>8945689
I bought the set of them through buyee for 5480yen plus the 500yen inspection whatever plan; they arrived today and I absolutely love them.
Here's the brush set: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/15-Color-Contour-Face-Makeup-Concealer-Palette-1-Sponge-Puff-4-Brushes-2015-Hot-Selling/32593322912.html

>>8934361
Oh I hope you can do a review of the cindy jam skirt and the cat jsk when you get them! I've had my eye on both of those.

In addition to pictured I also have a lizlisa dress and ap blouse from yahoo auctions, and a headbow on the way too.
yeah my shopaholism(?) is pretty influenced by being inpatient about shipping.

>>8948114
Ahh, sauce on the hat with lace?

Three dream dresses all being shipped at the same time. Fuck yes, this is what dreams are made of. Also some weeb and normie items because I got a gift card.

>>8948131
I ordered from ali:

It looks pretty decent in the review pics.

A bunch of cosplay supplies coming in, mostly for some Love Live shit

>>8946988
Care to share any of the molds?

> have two packages arriving from HLJ and AmiAmi
> have boyfriend go take my slip to pick up the AmiAmi order today
> get the HLJ package instead
> Bring new orange slip for the HLJ package to get my other package
> mail worker refuses and says I must have stolen the other package
JUST LET ME GET MY OSOMATSU HOMEGOODS

>>8951069
Did you have ID on you, anon? Even without the slip if you give them your ID and your address the same one as the address on the package they have to give you your package.

>>8951079
I had it, but didn't think which is a shame. I am just going to go tomorrow since I am stuck at work now. I can't believe I didn't think to show I.D. immediately

>>8948114
Sauce on those shoes? And please tell me they come in 9.5 *^*

My order is almost ready to ship from my taobao buyer! Too excited. Just waiting on some of my friends items!

I have a question - how long should I expect Japanese Airmail shipping times to be? my fucking bodyline shoes have been stuck in a post office for over a week now

>>8952059
Source on the rabbit and mushroom necklace and accessories? Too cute!

All my cosplay shit. Nothing exciting

>>8952116

Oh WunderWelt, you're redeem yourself from time to time.

>>8948114
Sauce on the bag?

Hasten on, my love.

>>8952294
When are you expecting yours? I would love to know how they are before purchasing :) Could you shoot me an email when you get them?

Just got this yesterday. I am so excited but i fear that i will not look "right" in it? And that it's the kind of thing i like only on other people.

>>8952345
It's saying it's no longer available, huh. I've gotten this bag in another color before too. Here's the now defunct link anyway:

Review of these please anon.

>>8955259
The color is a little different than pictured (lighter body and darker lace) but the overall fit and quality are fine. They're true to size and are pretty comfortable. For the price they are pretty decent.

>>8955206
Sure thing!
Shirt: http://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00001AVI
Button: http://shop.phooey.jp/?pid=92924769

>>8955258
haha yes! Have a flight right after the con so I needed something that I could get on the plane in.

I'm one step closer to my circus-themed wardrobe, super excited to see them arrive!
& two costumes for characters that I have been wanting to cosplay since a while back.

Okay, no more shopping for quite a while that is, my wallet is crying.

excited for HL and pepfox stuff! it'll be a good mail week

I have 2 dream dresses on the way so I'm really excited! Although, even though I love the op version of this Meta dress as much as the jsk, now that I'm getting it I've looked into the measurements and I'm starting to worry it'll be too short.

Still sitting with ChibiTenshi, but why did I even buy this.

>>8956760
>circus-themed wardrobe
plz tell me more, anon.
I've got three? circus-y prints and just recently got my AatP tent bag.
>throws AP into wishlist finally

Nothing in the mail, sage for ot.

>>8957590
You could easily add an inch or two with a really simple lace underskirt.

>>8957415
Sauce on the carousel pin, please.

>>8957632

Ha, I bought that too. Mostly because I craft and couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a silly donut headdress for it.

It's been a big buying month for me. I also picked up some shit at AP in person. Hopefully this will sate my comfy blouse desires for a while.

>>8957415
The new no resin stuff bleeds.

The cane I had comissioned for my Clock King cosplay finally shipped this morning. Been working with a small independent wood worker from Brooklyn. Im absolutely excited.

>>8957634
>>8957634
I have around 3 circus-themed dresses too, from AatP! Aiming to collect more, AP has a few nice circus themed dresses haha.

I missed out on the blackxgold colourwat for the AatP tent bag at Wunderwelt sadly, so I'm still searching for it.

I can't believe I got this. First time buying with Tenso so I am still scared I filled things out incorrectly.

1. Alice Auaa bolero
2. Wunderwelt lot pt. 1
3. You know
4. Sweet Addiction x Pirates and the Crown Rose - Link jsk (I'm trash)
5. AatP - Tarot card jsk I
6. Wunderwelt lot pt. 2 - MAM op
7. Wunderwelt lot pt. 3 - MmM blouse
8 & 9. Soufflesong short summer blouses (for under jsks only)
10. Offbrand cameo
11. Wunderwelt lot pt. 4

I tried to be smart and choose cheaper shipping options. Never again. I keep buying more because I can't wait but I had no idea it was this bad until I put a collage together.

>>8957912
Daaaaamn, anon. Cute haul!

>>8946772
Super jelly, congrats!

>>8942239
Is that a beautyblender off taobao? Sauce please!

>>8957831
Congrats! A very nice dress. It almost became one of my wishlist dresses after I saw that one amazing coord with it.

>>8957825
Oh shit that may have been me, anon.
If it's any consolation, it came with much more damage than I expected, I'm planning on taking it somewhere to get fixed since the top has been pushed through the fabric and there's plastic showing. I bought it because I missed out on the bag when it was on LM and kicked myself for it. I didn't have the funds until monday to spend frivolously and it sold on the saturday beforehand. It was pretty shit.

I still love it, though.

>>8957929
Thanks for telling really & I hope it can be fixed. Glad that you like it though. I'll continue to hunt for the tent bag haha!

>>8957961
Thanks, I hope so too! I'll post a link in the dream dress thread if I ever spot it for sale again. Is blackxgold your preferred colourway? That's the colourway I got of Wunderwelt

>>8957977
Thank you very much for your help, that's really kind of you! Yes haha, it matches my wardrobe.

>>8957750
can you review the wigs?

>>8957672
The carousel pin I bought off etsy, seems to be vintage/secondhand jewelry, but perhaps if you search around someone might be selling another or something similar. I just searched "carousel brooch".

>>8957781
Bleeds how? At will or just when it gets wet?

>>8958099
I have the sailor fox one and the blue rubbed off on a sailor collar. It wasn't wet either.

>>8957986
Alright, 'cause goldxnavy and goldxwhat are on wunderwelt

>>8958194
>*white

>>8958104
Damn. Anyway I could prevent that from happening?

>>8957672
I'll do that if I need to, hopefully it's enough.

>>8934795
finally got these and I'm happy, though I went a size too big on the shoes and the buttons on the shirt are trash - two of them broke (not fell off, broke) before I even got the damn shirt on. shirt is also a bit awkwardly short torso-wise, but it fits my awkward shoulders.
also I find it really strange that the closures are just for decoration, but oh well I guess.

>>8957861
If you want accessories to go with that Link JSK, I make a lot of stained glass themed stuff. KH and LoZ included.

>>8957861
Could you review the Soufflesong blouses when you receive them please?

>tfw all of this is still marked as unshipped and you know the seller has begun to ship out pre-orders on the 12th

>>8964513
this shit is cringe anyway I hope you never receive it.

>>8964513
Where did you get the socks from?

Also fuck that salty anon, u do u.

>>8964534
all of it is from cherrycheezy on etsy. the necklace, and set of socks in the middle are sold out (and the socks will not be restocking).

I have a lot of shit in the mail but this is the only thing I can remember off the top of my head

>>8945652
here you go anon!

Jane Marple galore! Already received the tartan OP which I'm chuffed about. I have an older tartan release and this one seems to fit my height better, it's surprisingly long.

Trying to build up on nice, plain and simple pieces with the JSK and a necklace I couldn't resist.

Also waiting on a bunch of items from f.i.n.t as well. Exciting times!

>>8965043
Amazing haul. I'm really jealous, especially of that cute tartan op.

>>8965043
I hope that's not rude to ask, but how much did the tartan OP cost?

>>8965152
Diff anon, I bought the tartan OP in store for the original price which was like 58k or something off the top of my head.

>>8965043
Did you get stuff on the FINT sale? I only ended up buying the yellow tartan skirt, but I can't possible ship my Japonica order with a single item. Will have to find other things to buy...

>>8965131
Thanks anon! I'm still keeping a keen eye out for the tartan OP with the eyelet collar, it is my dream dress.

>>8965152
I got it for $300, seems to be the going rate on second hand markets at the moment. I saw one on Mercari the other day for 29,000 yen by the way. It might still be there?

>>8965167
Yep, bought some stuff from their outlet/sales. I seem to have bought a lot of pants and skirts. I'm just hoping they will fit me okay, I have wide hips so just crossing my fingers that the pants are forgiving. They have a lot of cute stock up at the moment too.

>>8947929
Can you review the glasses when you get them? I was looking at both of those pairs

>>8957590
Can I get a link to the stockings? I can't make out the watermark.

i bought some shit on aliexpress, came to the us, got sent to the wrong address, i emailed them the correct address and not its back in china.
whoop-dee-fucking-doo

>>8965587
not that anon but they're from violet fane. however they are sold out for now

I don't even want those tights anymore, it's been 5 months now...
Just some dailywear stuff, got the heart glasses as sunglasses.

>>8966099
Should probably mention that the glasses are both prescription and from zenni, JSK is ETC.

>>8957861
I need some pictures of that LoZ JSK

A month til con and I'm still buying last minute cosplay stuff.

Ahhh my dream print!!! and I love this cut the best.
I can't wait.

my body is ready. I missed out on meta's sailor stuff last year, have had a horrible time trying to locate a dress secondhand, so I knew that I needed to get it this year. Woke up at 3 am for this shit. anyone else get something from the sailor series?

>>8972494
wow anon that is gorgeous, can you give me the exact name of the dress?

>>8972494
nice, anon! i got last years in khaki. debating myself whether or not to get this years, too

Did a very small taobao order and bought a dress for an upcoming event.

>>8972472
Yooo nice

>>8943696
This should be coming in within the next week.

My order from CC will be here tomorrow because I had to pay customs. I paid for everything from them like over 2 weeks ago, but they've only just taken the money out which has annoyed me.

>>8972472

So glad they rereleased it again, and in a more flattering cut!

>>8972494
the dress reminds me of

>>8972835
it's this one! "sailor cruise dress"
https://www.metamorphose.gr.jp/product/detail/13159

>>8972841
if you think you'll want it later on down the line, you may want to hop on it and get it, cause it's gonna be a little bit of a challenge trying to find it secondhand (as I have experienced myself. I looove last year's dress, although since I have this one now, I would settle for at least finding the hat from last year.)

>>8973494
oh god. there's pants and a suspender skirt that look even more like that:

All of my taobao stuff came in! If anyone wants reviews and the like feel free to ask. I mostly ordered from random shops I found and some established lolita ones.

>>8975483
Reviews for the straw boater and alice blouse? Also sauce for the card tights please!

Today I received someone else's dress accidentally addressed to me. I was really worried about it since it's an expensive print but luckily I was able to get in touch with the seller to send it back.

>>8975483
Please review and photograph that basket purse if you don't mind!

>>8975483
Sauce on the two shorter-sleeved blouses?

>>8975534
The straw boater is really nice! Has some weird grassy factory smell but it airs out quickly. The ribbon is detachable so you can add things or take off things.
Link here: https://world.taobao.com/item/44651713608.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-9023047561.84.oBU9Ga

The alice blouse is decent quality, I got S size and the arms are just a bit tight but there is elastic around them which keeps the sleeves from flopping around I suppose. The embroidery is nice and there's not much to complain about I suppose, run of the mill taobao blouse.
Link here:
https://world.taobao.com/item/520905526233.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-7852740946.27.qRpWZO
The card tights are here: https://world.taobao.com/item/524685106062.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-12995113948.30.2mU5AK seems like you're in luck since they just restocked the gold! That was actually my preferred colorway but it was out of stock when I bought...maybe it's time for another haul...

>>8975540
Here's the boater and the bag in comparison along with a pen I put for reference. It was larger than I expected and also fully lined with a zipper closure and two pockets on the inside! It's the same store as the boater hat in >>8975549

>>8975543
Alice blouse:
http://world.taobao.com/item/520905526233.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-7852740946.27.qRpWZO

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.82.wDnT9e&id=520270853832&ns=1&abbucket=3#detail

That black blouse is actually pretty well made and nice and airy chiffon like feeling, and doesn't feel or look very cheap, I highly recommend it for casual days, it also comes in white!

Twinkle Sky should be here tomorrow. As for the headband, it shipped from Belgium on the 6th and USPS is being so slow so who knows.

I will finally own this again. Double the price of when I last had it, but I do love it.

Just got this in today! I'd only had it shipped monday from Japan so I was very surprised.
The fabric feels nice and light and cool against my skin, it's going to be perfect for summertime.

>>8935073
HL finally came. Still waiting for my SS OP Set and the Blouse. Added on a bunch of stuff

>>8976183
Nice find, anon, it's adorable! I own it too, it's one of my favorite OPs to wear in summer.

So excited/nervous about this. It's a dream piece, but I usually wear casual and otome. I'm not finding too many coords with it that aren't frumpy, boxy at the waist, or very dramatic. AP skirts can be a crapshoot, but goddamn, I love the pattern and striped band so much.

>>8975552
Where'd you get those? They are absolutely lovely. Congrats on the haul, I'm so curious what dresses you'll wear with this awesome combo.

>>8977142
Not OP but I'm pretty sure it's from Haruhi Clover

>>8977141
I'm not in the fashion but I adore this

c-could this be the start of my journey??

>>8977142
Thanks! The store is: https://shop73192930.world.taobao.com/?spm=a312a.7728556.2015080705.6.BzGAzc and they're really nice, I got white so I can coord a lot but most of the ribbons are detachable so you can mix and match!

Just got my Peppermint Fox brooch in the mail. Bought it because it's cute plus it's a royal fox with the perfect navy and deeper maroon colors I thought would go great with Loyal Rosette. And really liking the wood base it's done on. Feels sturdy.

>>8977141
Don't worry Anon it looks super cute worn!
I had the lav- ver. and wore it mostly casual.

>>8973290
Me too! I was bummed I missed this cut the first time.
I am so excited, it should be here Thurs!

>>8977450

It looks so perfect anon!

Seems like I'm forever always ordering Sailor Moon stuff. The nail polish, pocket watch, Luna Ball, and the zipper sailor scout pouches have arrived recently, plus the 3rd miniaturely tablet set I didn't include with the photos.

Good luck with the hunt. They're not too hard to find but they are still popular. Most sellers price them at retail or above but you can get lucky like I did.

Thanks, super appreciated. Ooh, maybe you can put some of your own ribbons of different colors on sometime then. Maybe using a pin or something you can attach it. Anyways congrats again.

>>8978089
Anon, I hope it's not rude but Sister Maria in this colourway is my dreamdress that I've been searching for so long and if you somehow won't like it I will gladly buy it off you/trade/trade with cash on top

>>8977658
Is the nail polish any good? Also, could you review the perfume when it comes in please?

So I went a little mad on Y!A recently using Buyee as my agent.

Please excuse the calculations on the side as I was trying to reassure myself. I have to pay over ¥9000 in fees ALONE. The shipping itself should only be around ¥9000 but holy shit. I am so used to making orders on Taobao where you only pay $2 per store to send things to the SS, I mean, for fucks sake, the cost of sending a Tamagotchi to Buyee was ¥1000.. that is literally more expensive than what it would cost me to send one overseas!

This isn’t my first order, so I knew it would be expensive.. but holy shit.. that is literally the cost of buying a new dress.
So yes, I am mad cos all the money I just got from selling things that I intended to save for my holiday gets blown on fucking shipping.. RAAARRR

Anyways, here is what I ordered.. not even sure if it’s worth it any more.

>>8978312
I'm so sorry anon. It looks like the clothing you bought already have that used feeling to it, so it definitely isn't worth it.

>>8978318
Other than the 2 skirts, the rest of the clothing was all ¥500 or less which wasn't so bad for the condition.. But I think youre right.. at the divided cost per item after shipping.. I don't think I would have paid the final prices for any of it.. ugh

>>8978312
Buyee overcharges extremely, anon
I had these issues where in fees I had to pay a burando worth of yen on top
Don't use it, seriously

>>8978350
NOPE. FUCK THAT.

Would GLADLY take cheaper recommendations if you have any??

>>8978350
Jfc what did you buy? I just ordered something through Buyee and paid less in fees than I do with CT. And I ordered a full set.

>>8978356
Honestly I've found Buyee to be pretty much comparable to most SS fees. You could try CT but her exhange rate has been stupid lately.

>>8978312
You realize that the seller sets the shipping price, right and Buyee just charges whatever it is. Also, if you bought things from 5 different places (which it looks like you might have) then at $2/store you're paying the same amount.

It's not Buyee's fault that the NZD sucks

>>8978089
Loving that dress on the right and I don't even wear lolita. Have you got a link? I searched the name but got directed to My Lolita Dress.

The longer I wait for things to arrive, the more things I buy to pass the time. Not pictured are 3-4 wigs I bid on in the last 24 hours to try and find a wig for a con next month out of desperation.

>>8978483
Post pics of the swimme lucky pack when it arrives

>>8978492
Will do! It's from Taobao so look for it in that thread. Here's the link:

And here's what someone got in theirs from the reviews. I got the size small just to try it but if I like it, I'll get the biggest one next time when I do my fukubukuro order around Fall.

>>8934470

>>8978238
If it doesn't work out I will post in the DD thread. I have been searching for it too

>>8978479
It's from taobao brand called Dark Box. Clobbaonline is probably selling leftovers

>>8978312
I've found buyee only useful for buying individual pieces since their consolidation fee is so high.

Ha, I kept seeing those shoes though. Post pics when you get them, they're so interesting.

>>8978256
Will do on the perfume review. The nail polish I actually haven't used so not really sure. The most I did was make sure there was actually polish in them cause I bought it 2nd hand. So not sure how they hold up if you use them.

>>8978890
Yeah, I have been recommended ZenMarket who apparently have no fees for consolidation.. argh.. annoys the shit out of me, all you have to do is chuck it in a box.. doesnt need to cost $15..

The shoes though, I found a "restored" version on Etsy when trying to find out more about the brand! https://www.etsy.com/listing/244862468/restored-question-mark-brand-holographic

But I'll be sure to post pics when I get mine!

>>8978501

>>8979172

Different anon but I just looked them up and I think I've been converted.

>300 yen per item, unless you're buying identical items which then they only charge 300 yen
>no consolidation fee
>no domestic bank transfer fee

The extra 100yen per item more than makes up for it after FJ's consolidation and website and domestic bank transfer fees.

>>8979172
>>8979200
>zenmarket
I've been using them since October. Highly recommend. They're the reason I've been spending so much money recently. I won't use anyone else since I was fucked so hard by FJ's fees. The only downside is if you want to order lots of inexpensive things it's not really worth it, but for lolita items and figures and whatnot they're basically perfect

>>8979277
>fucked so hard by FJ's fees

I dunno if this is the same as fees rather than just regular costs, but jfc, I bought a bunch of itabag stuff using FJ and I was floored once I saw the bill for the domestic shipping. It was like 3x the amount I was paying for EMS shipping. I definitely agree with what you said about lots of inexpensive things - if you want to buy certain things because they're cheap in Japan (like 500 yen keychains that would go for 15 dollars at a convention here in the US) you almost get fucked and pay that amount + more anyways. Lolita items it's fine and pretty ideal especially the live bidding though.

Everything but the water bottle is from the lolita collective, so I don't have to wait forever for lockshop to ship.
The bottle is from Aliexpress.

My dream dress and the matching bonnet is coming in the mail soon.

I love the Soirée print.

Have these 3 on the way, hoping to due some otome stuff with the IW ones too.
I really gotta chill out with buying main pieces now since my blouse +accessory collection is really disproportional.

>>8983238

Really happy with this April's haul. My new job has been really good to me. The next few weeks will be a lot of fun, packages arriving are always like little surprise presents to myself.

Congrats! That print is so gorgeous, I've wanted it in black for a while but never got around to picking it up whenever it pops up.

Start the arduous claims process. Get in touch with your district (not neighborhood) carrier and complain as high on the corporate chain as you can.

I'm sorry that this isn't cosplay related, but I hope someone here can help since I'm panicking pretty hard atm.

>Order Japan Rail Pass
>Only shipping option is FedEx
>Delivery estimate is the 2nd of May.
>Yesterday (the 2nd), tracking gets updated to tell me that it's on a delivery truck on its way to me.
>Spend the entire day waiting by the front door (8 am - 5 pm) because I live in a huge house with nobody else to answer the door.

Do I get in contact with the service that I ordered the pass from?? Or do I keep harassing FedEx? I'm in northern Europe and this is my first time using it, so I have no idea if this is normal or not but I'm pissed off in any case.

>>8989857
Just ask the seller? Maybe they messed up the copy-paste process. If you don't want to be pushy, wait a few days and try inputting the tracking again. It might just not be updated at the moment yet.

>>8989857
Ask them, it's not going to do any harm if they aren't scammers.

>>8989873
Sounds like the delivery guy got lazy and skipped your house thinking no one was home on a week day. It happens.

I haven't bought anything online since November, which is a fucking record for me (and I only held back because I bought a damn apartment), so I decided to get mostly nanchatte stuff now that it's Autumn.

>>8989878
>>8989886
yeah I was planning to let her know if tracking hasn't started working in 3 or 4 days so I guess I'll message her. she posted it saturday, it's now wednesday so I think it's way past the time where USPS might've just not updated
