/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Cross posting here since someone suggested it.

I recently bought a dress from the user RisseTensai on LM on the vetted discord and it was the single most awful buying experience of my life.

On August 28, I paid RisseTensai a non-refundable $10 to hold a like new, worn once, Holy Lantern Zipper JSK in red, with free shipping. The hold lasted until I got back from travelling on September 14. At that time, I started paying the dress on a payment plan, along with two handkerchiefs I was also purchasing. I paid for the dress (not including the handkerchiefs) $300, which I thought was reasonable, if maybe a little high, for a dress in like new condition. I would have one month/until October 14 to finish paying the dress off. I sent the last installment on October 6. She shipped the package out on October 10.

I received the dress on October 19 before I left for work. I verified the dress and handkerchiefs were in the package, and thanked her at the time. When I got home later that night, I realized that the dress had two major stains and two minor stains on the front of the dress in highly visible locations.

I figured this was the most appropriate place, even though it's not *my* comm per se, but maybe her comm members will see. I recently bought a dress from the user RisseTensai on LM on the vetted discord and it was the single most awful buying experience of my life.

So, I just had an extremely negative buying experience, regarding undisclosed stains, with a user in the lolita community. I've already posted reviews on LM and in the vetted discord. Is this something that I can/should post here, or is that taking it to vendetta levels? Pic related is one of the four stains on the front of the dress.
