Are you looking to get it as a one-piece dress or more of a blouse and dress combination? It definitely looks doable if you split up the parts. By which I mean I wouldn't go searching for a witch outfit but try searching for 'short sleeve blouse', 'black swing dress' etc

so I bought a kawaii beret from ebay which cost way more than items on ebay usually do, and the quality still ended up being shit. didn't get what I paid for. where can I get a cute white/pink beret that ISN'T deformed and doesn't have weird fabric?
I'm also looking for a basic cap although preferably with something Japanese on it. sounds easy but the one I ordered had great ratings but it still turned out to be deformed and weird. I really only want recommendations from people who bought the items themselves, because in my experience ratings don't mean shit.

Is this a lost cause?
My friend ordered from Ali after two days the seller camceled the order but took money anyway. Friend contacted seller with no response, she made a claim, Ali says the tracking id works fine and she should proof she never got order. How possible is it that the seller shipped the order out besides stating it´s canceled? How are her chances of getting her money back?
I don´t know all the details but I´m so confused by this case. I ordered tons from Ali and something like this never happened to me. Maybe Ali treats me differently because I´m a money spending idiot?

Air humidifiers could be made of plastics and materials who don't respect rules on additives, so it could be pumping your room with natsy stuff.

Because the people buying it are already aware, you can't buy a $1 item that normally goes for $50 and expect great quality. They know if they started complaining then the reply is always going to be "it was too cheap, what did you expect? You're being cheap and still complaining you didn't get the moon? You didn't even pay enough to look at the stars, you're an idiot" -- and other replies of this type.

So pretty much, they already start out expecting an item that is completely shit and totally useless. All the item has to do to earn a 5-star rating is be slightly less than complete shit, ie- if you can put on the clothes with the arms and legs in all the right places, or if it works one time before dying, then it's already much better than the trash they were expecting.

I'd just rather people don't throw away money on this cheap shit, because even if you're fine with gambling and throwing out $1 if it's bad, it still takes resources to produce, and throwing it away goes straight into the landfill. But hey everybody loves buying cheap shit now so I guess the landfills of cheap aliexpress shit is just gonna be the next generation's problem.

I have some clothes I've been using for quite a while (maybe 1x every 2 weeks for the past couple of years) without falling apart. In particular, I find the long skirts and dresses to be sturdy and durable. In fact, I'd argue they're probably better than common normie stores since many of them come with pockets and have thicker fabric that actually protects you from the cold, things I have not found in your average american work wear store.

On the other hand, I've had sweaters unravel on me on the first day. So it's definitely hit or miss.

I try not to buy from ali anymore though in any case. It's too risky. I'd rather just pay a little bit more for stuff I know will last much longer.

I think using them for hard candy would be a bad idea, but something quick like chocolate where they're not in the mold for a long time could possibly be ok.

NTA but you can definitely use those molds for UV and they work a lot better. Molds like that are meant for UV because it's quick curing. Usually if it's thicker you leave it in longer for the light to penetrate better and then when you pop it out and cure it again just to be sure. Your UV light is probably just not strong enough. I've been doing resin work for 6+ years now.

Makes sense to me. I guess I got a good film because mine is super thin and not pixelated at all. I just feel like doing it with resin won't give a good effect because of the thickness, might be annoying to add to bezel charms too.

Anyone know where I can find this sweater?

first of all, sorry for my lack of english , not my first language

>>10281223
i got cosmetics, body care, and circle lenses in ali, and it really didnt have any ´problem with it desu
i think its more like if you get lucky or first watch for referenses/other people reviews in the same page
many people dont do it and end up being "scammed" just because they dont read the product page

i dont think there any risk buying jewelry, in my perosnal case, i always buy earrings on Ali and didnt have sany problem with it neither

>>10282267
yeah, im searching for a nice blouse too but it kind of hard os searching for one short sleeved, most of them have long sleves

>>10285163
i have bought some razors too, the same brand they sell in my country, but cheaper af and didnt have any problem either

>>10285907
kind of everything you buy form other shops are made in china
you only gotta have poised if you buy tru some weird shop or one who didnt have any rate

>>10293276
thisa is happening to me right now with a pair of thights, they dont ship them, and normally they ship the things pretty fast right?

>>10296042

It's not the exact same, but either way enjoy the lung cancer from the talcum powder used it in.
As that other person said, don't just spout bad advice because you're currently "fine from it" Chinese makeup uses chemicals that are not safe in their make up. God spend the few extra bucks and order some korean stuff if you actually care about your skin and long term health. The more you abuse your skin and eyes now the worse they will be later in life.
I did cheap makeup for my teens and early 20s and now even expensive shit makes my eyes turn crazy red and water.

I don't use it but you're wrong. USA doesn't have any regulations or do testing to let stuff in the country, so shit from the dollar store or Walmart is all made in the same fashion. Educate yourself.

again it's cheap makeup. It's not good for your skin. Which was the point I was making. Shit even expensive crap from Claires for little girls has cancer causing shit in it. The point is to do research before putting that crap on your skin.

Let me "um akshyually" for a minute here OP:
If you know that it's a certified seller,it's fine to buy cosmetics/skincare products or even sex toys from them. There's a korean based seller i buy my korean skincare products from.
And a japan based seller that sells pretty neat toys for some alone time. Just make sure to wash it no matter what before any use,just to not risk anything.
Anything else on that list is a no no though.

Anyone got a link for RHS shoes or big lolita platforms that suit old school in general?

Everything else on the list though? I advise against it

I've gotten pure linen and pure poly when things were listed as cotton, so it's a risk but check reviews.

[Anonymous No.10346795]

If it's just in the title of the listing, no. If the details say cotton, and the reviews look like cotton, there's a decent chance it's cotton.

Poly is shinier than cotton and tends to look crunchier, especially cheap poly. And reviews might say "it's polyester" which is a pretty definitive sign.

[Anonymous No.10347436]

>>10347405
I don't know if it's really a debate, it's just not uncommon for listings to say "silk" or "cotton" in the title when it's actually synthetic when you check the details, so people are wary of that. Both are useful for certain applications, it's just not fun to receive one when you thought you had ordered the other.

[Anonymous No.10348352]

I would say no based on the fact that metals, some silicones, and even microwave safe things are on the high risk board
>true piercings such as nose ring, earring
>plates and cutlery
>pots, pans, microwaveable things (heavy metal danger is high)

Local dollar stores and thrift shops are surprisingly useful for those items though. And if not, try to catch Hobby Lobby, Joann's, or Michael's with a good deal.
