/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm top excited to have these coming.

Will be on its way to me soon.

>>9162174
Oh, I own these. If you got the female size then the innersole has height increasers on the heels.

Not sure about keeping the white AatP OP, but I feel super happy about finding the Macross F x Meta collab jacket and skirt.

>>9163405
Heigh increases? Oh god, does not sound very comfortable for chucks.
I wanted to buy new converse shoes and accidentally found these on mandarake while looking for jojo figures. Less excited now.

>>9163511
I took mine out and replaced them with some regular gel insoles.

>>9162186
Nice!!

Forgot to add Nameless Poem in black and green, that's on the way, too.

I got three pair of shoes this month, and 30 dollars worth of socks. A cheaper haul then what I usually get, so not rip my pocket?

>>9162186
pls post pics when it arrives

>>9162186
Jelly!

For $40! Wooo.

>that's what I get for trying to be an adult and get stuff delivered to my own house

Will I ever get my package?

>>9163414
I really like that Aatp dress -- idk if I'd want it in white though. Are you thinking about selling it?

>>9164984
That's BS. I've had times where I check the tracking and it said they left a slip but there wasn't one. I just write down the number and give them my ID and they'll go get it for me. They're being total dicks to you.

>>9163527
sauce on middle?

My bank account is pretty upset, considering I got a full Meta coord earlier this month...

>>9164895
Good find!

>>9165043
Please post pics of the jsk when you get it. I'm waffling between the lavender and the pink and more photos is always helpful

>>9165143
I think lavender looks nicer in the stock pictures, but it was sold out, and pink was my second favorite....AP Paris said they will have it by the middle of September, so I should get it the same week they do. Might be able to find pics of it worn before that.

Not much

>>9164984
>>9165009
I can't even confirm whether or not the tracking number is correct since it's not working on the website (and neither are my like 5 other tracking codes). Apparently, this stupid construction will only be complete early October, so I definitely won't be getting that delivery slip anytime soon unless I can find that fucking key.

By now, though, I'm pretty sure they've sent it back, since it must have been there more than 10 days. I guess I'll just have to get my SS to ship it again to my mom's; good thing I don't need it before a certain date. In the meantime, I think I have some complaining to customer service to do.

>>9165011
It's Atelier Pierrot. Couldn't find a reference link or anything, sorry!

Paid around 10k yen for all this, mercari is a goldmine.

>>9163527
What's the rightmost dress?

>>9163414
Tokyo Alice?
I'm happy to see another Macross anon, do you live/visit California at all? We could twin!

I had to be good this month and not buy dresses, but at least I have wigs for cosplay/Lolita, Baby's Rose Royal Tiara necklace and weeb merch coming.

>>9165043
>that fucking shoop on the wig model

>>9166144
I legitimately thought she was a mannequin.

>>9165645
VM's Victorian Doll

Did anyone get in early the other day in Wunderwelts "20% of Innocent World" sale?

In the first 10 minutes there was a site glitch, you wont believe what I paid for the stained glass OP haha!! The collage picture was a bulk auction, apparently theres a few other pieces too, but no idea what yet!

>>9166203
Dude I caught it too!!! I couldn't believe it, I got 4 dresses for $100 shipped. My computer is down so I can't make a collage, but I paid $20 for pic related, which I am most proud of. I know what you paid for the stained glass OP, and it's a glorious find. My regret was not getting Astronomical Clock for the $80~90 it glitches at.

>>9165470
You have all the socks I've been planning to buy, good finds anon.

>>9163527
Lovely, could you comment/take a picture of the true colour of the meta JSK when it arrives?

Holy blouse Batman. I'm most excited about Tiara Rose though, it was my original dream dress back as a 16 year old ita. Some of this is work clothes, not lolita.

>>9165043
Sauce on the phone case?

>>9166494
Oh and this beautiful shit.

>>9166203
I caught it! I'd been looking at the Baby sale stuff and decided to wait till after I'd dinner to place my order and that's when I noticed the innocent world sale. Found some things I liked and ended up paying waaay less than half what it should have cost!

I was actually so worried they were going to contact me and and be like "hey we fucked up, but we're going to need more money/we're going to refund and cancel you're order"

Also part of a few group orders for weeb shit rn

>>9166495
http://www.ebay.com/itm/112019905098?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=410957709433&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

>>9166345
>>9166203
>>9166526
Holy shit. I'm so jealous. I check WW all the time and I saw the sale but decided not to get anything because they didn't have any IW that I was interested in for the prices they were charging. God damn it.

>>9166345
Oh shit, thats so good! I had regrettably just finished blowing my money on Y!A so when I caught the sale I could really only afford 2 things, but happy to hear some others did too! I was keeping quiet about it until my order had been confirmed as shipped haha!!

>>9166526
Hah! I was worried too! At first I was celebrating cos how the fuck did Angels in Stained Glass just cost $23, then I noticed the site went down "for maintenance" and came back on with way higher prices, I was thinking ooooh fuck, that was a glitch. So I was definitely expecting an instant refund on the dress... BUT NOTHING!!!!

. . . guess SOMEONE will be getting fired!

>>9166930
The glitch was fixed in about 10 or so minutes after the sale went on. I don't know why I even clicked it as I normally don't care much for Innocent World.. but hey - the lolita gods were guiding me!

I think if more people had ordered, everyone probably would have been refunded, luckily I guess the person processing orders had no idea what the value of the items really was?

They are back!

Had a recent run of good luck at finding main wishlist items I've been after for a while. Latest find is an Atelier Boz Nurse Toledo jsk in black.

>>9167528
Ah fuck, that had been sitting in my wishlist for a while because no one was buying it and I just had to get new tires for my car so I figured it could wait. Oh well, congrats!

>>9167576

The one on Tokyo Alice? Ive had my eye on it for a bit but had to wait before buying it. There's one available on Mercari as well but it apparently smells of cigarette smoke.

>>9166073
Source on the cute panties stickers? I have no use for them b-but...

>>9167597
Yup, that one!

I think I see the one you're talking about. I might take my chances with trying to get the smell out, but the downside is I couldn't buy it as part of a haul bc I wouldn't want the smell contaminating other items. Thanks for the heads up though!

>>9164995
Depends how it will fit me. But yeah, if I'm going to sell it then probably going to ask the same price what I bought it, what was about 8000 yen.

>>9166507

>>9167647
Good luck, if you decide to risk it. Please let me know if you do take the plunge, I would be interested to hear if you have any luck with removing the smell. You're welcome about the heads up. Thank you as well for the earlier congrats. I'd really liked the black x blue one on Lacemarket a while back, but felt it was a bit overpriced, so was thrilled when this one came up even though it's in the all black colour, as I think I like it even more.

Broken the shopping ban when there're so many otome-worthy blouses from the UK autumn season. Plus the waiting paid off for the JM skirts.

>>9167735

Is there a shopping service for AP paris?

Still looking at more stuff...

>>9168302
I love this haul anon, looks s cohesive.
Would you mind linking the pink cardigan?

>>9168026
Not officially, but I just emailed them asking if they could sell me some items. Paid via a paypal invoice.

Still in the mail....

>>9165470
Updated with blouse and bolero

>>9168504
Here you go! It's an Axes Femme cardigan.

Got some more stuff before Wunderwelt's IW sale ended, but they sent me a shipping invoice instead of forwarding to Tenso. :<

>>9169205
Could I ask how you're purchasing from Mercari? I can only access the USA version.

>>9166494
Sauce on the heart opening black shoes.

Not that anon, but the Japanese version is mercari.jp

I always search on a browser and use shitty google translate

>>9169205
I had my eye on that bolero but I've banned myself from shopping. Hope you enjoy it!

>>9169246
mercari.com/jp/

I'm using fromjapan to purchase

>>9169261
Thank you, there's no measurements so I'm hoping it'll fit!

>>9169254
Awesome and thanks! I dunno why I didn't check but I'll work out how to order. Hoping I can just sign up with Tenso instead of using another SS.

>>9169254
>>9169265
Mercari won't register my card, so I guess I'd have to use an actual shopping service instead of a forwarding service like Tenso? Called my bank to make sure there wasn't a hold but there's nothing on my side stopping my registration.

>>9169298
You can't buy from Mercari directly. You have to use a SS

>>9169331
I tried, haha. Found that out the hard way, they want confirmation with a Japanese phone number too. If something awesome pops up I'll open with another SS, but I rather not have a big order with Tenso and Japonica at the same time.

Waiting for the lolita dresses +bunny stuff I preordered, just put in an order for the seifukus today, and actually received the checkered VM skirt as I was making this collage (my mom brought in the mail). It's precious.

Next on my shopping list is some Korean skincare/makeup from Amazon, but I'll wait til my next paycheck.

>>9166507
>shit

You got that right.

I decided to be weeb trash and participated in a pokemon gift exchange. Three out of four gifts arrived today. I'm looking forward to the last surprise.

i posted a huge order from aliexpress over in that thread so ill just do this

>>9169886

>>9169832
Awww that's all super cute, anon!

>tfw counting down the days til Seagull Santa
Can't wait to buy stuff because I haven't got a lot of friends to shop for.

>>9167528
Can I see worn pics of this when you get it?

>>9170445
No sorry. I don't post pictures publicly.

>>9164895
Where from?

>>9169891
Your shitty knockoffs don't belong in this thread anyway.

>>9167576
hey anon its on mercari if you want it https://item.mercari.com/jp/m626908141/

I mentioned it as well to them the other day.

i'm excited, i haven't bought any lolita dresses in almost a year.

It was gorgeous and I couldn't not buy it. New with tags on auction for half price too. Goddamn it.

Queen Bee, a Japanese brand that does a lot of lolita style shoes.

Working on a halloweeny coord and a patch jacket. Also need to work on my stupid face.

i haven't gotten anything from a lolita brand in ~3 years so i kinda went all in. planning to wear the kiss me cat coord to disney world!

>>9178224

Oh no, it comes in grey....I didn't want to have to spend money but...

>>9179139
1. That blouse is fantastic and it's going to be super comfy. Seeing this reminded me to buy more in other colors.
2. That bread patch is hysterical, I love it.

>>9179139
Source on bread patch?

Snagged this today and it's already been shipped.

>>9178224
Thank you Anon!
Having a terrible time choosing the color I want though.

Got a little enthusiastic this month, and also first new release in a long s time. Also not pictured are two bodyline lace headdresses, one black and one black and white.

Soon! I'm so excited to start cooking bento boxes. Also got a cheap $2 5-in-1 facial brush to see if that helps with my clogged pores from daily makeup.

>>9179877
Is that a Rin daki? If it is, would the seller also happen to have some with Sousuke designs?

The bento supplies look really fun, especially the ham/cheese rabbit ones!

Preparing for October.

>>9179903
I actually ordered one that was part of a Rin and Sousuke set (pic related) but they sent me this one instead for some reason? I guess I picked too tame a design for them. I think I'm going to resell it and get another design/character.
Here's the link!
>http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=528952464902

And all the bento stuff is from the shop below and all super cheap (about $1.50 for the animal rice kits)

Aand a baby jsk for 2100 yen

A few of my dream dresses! I would like the Classic FT as a dress, but couldn't say no to the skirt when it came up, pretty excited for my little packages to come

>>9179547
B8.

>>9179283
Do it.

Anyways, snagged the skirt of Wonder Story! I've been lusting this print for 3 or 4 years, but honestly I'm kinda cheap when it comes to older releases.

>>9179376
$7+shipping but that seems to be the going rate for original design patches
http://store.brohloff.me/product/throw-bread-on-me-patch-by-brad-rohloff

>>9180527
No, really, I got it.

>>9180693
How is it you got it at an impossible time? It sold out right away and wasn't restocked.

>>9180708
Someone had to get it. I guess I was just lucky.

>>9178215
Can you review the 3-strap shoes when they arrive?

>>9179323
Now I'm hyped about the blouse! What would you say the fit of the neck is though? I'm worried it'll gap really bad because I've had weird experiences with high collars.

>>9180807
I owned it about a year or two ago for a witch coord and mine came with a bow to tie around it so I can't remember much about how the neck fit. I remember there was some room but it wasn't too baggy or anything. The fabric if it's anything like mine was will be super soft and very nice to wear but the buttons are awful at first to get done up because they're rounded, not flat. I had to get a friend to do my cuffs as well.

mfw I didnt realize I had this much loot coming in the mail. Feels good but bad because CAD - yen right now is infinite hell.

I have some other stuff coming but I didnt picture it since its not very cgl. I almost always have preorders going on amiami and I also have some plushes coming.

My style is usuaully always super sweet like the top row. But I really fell in love with the AaTPs print. Im so happy I contacted my SS right away and was able to get the cut/color I wanted. It seemed to me that the red was the most popular?

Share the joy, anon

>>9180947
Cute taste anon!
can you link me to that sweet mario pizza party shirt?

>>9181019
Ehh yo anon, thank you! The pizza shirt isnt available anymore, it was off one of those 24 hr limit sites https://theyetee.com/

The artist is Minilla though and the artists remains the rights to their work through the site. A lot of them continue selling the designs elsewhere (redbubble, neatoshop, etc). They dont have a lot of their newer designs up on their own shop but maybe bug them through twitter or something and see if they'd list it?

I like Minillas shirt designs as well as another called Miski occasionally featured there. Her own shop is http://www.neatoshop.com/artist/miski if you're interested though

>>9180768
Can do! They should be here within a week.

>>9180947
meant to to say >>9181005 to you cause I love seeing amiami/merch stuff

>>9181289
Thanks anon

>>9183809

Haha I was wondering if that reply was meant for me! Sure I'll share.

These preorders weirdly sum up some of my most liked series/themes.

So jelly....

From my Bodyline sale order! The past few times I was posted in the CoF thread people nitpicked about my hair and shoes, so I figured I'd try and work on that.

>>9184204
LMAO the body pillow is still up? A++

>>9184234
It was listed in the accessory section lol. Only 1 dollar during the sale. I couldn't not, ya know?

>>9183857
I'm happy I asked to see this, I love everything and wish I'd ordered both CCS nendo. Seconding source on crocnana/banadile. I also wrecked my budget on pre-orders.

>>9184246
>>9183879
Welp, didn't see you'd already sourced

>>9169514
Oh anon, my heart stopped when I saw the sailor OP.
It was a pre-order but is there any way to get it now?

A Malco Modes petti I ordered off Ebay for $30 arrived yesterday and holy shit is it poofy. I'm excited to wear it.

>>9184544
I had the same first impression too, anon. My SS received the OP recently, so girls in China have it and may be reselling. Just search "Akademie der Meeresbriste" on the secondhand Taobao site.

>>9184853
Thank you so much <3 have a wonderful day!

I really need to stop buying stuff.

>>9185315
I love all your bento stuff anon. I have the rice baller/cheese cutout one and the egg molds.

>>9185484
Are they relatively easy to use? Mine is coming through customs right now so I'm hoping they'll get here soon so I can try them out!

>>9185538
The rice baller is pretty easy to use although I sometimes worry that the pink flap that lets you push it out will break off, so I'm very gentle with it. For the cheese/ham cutouts make sure to have a toothpick because they can get stuck in the grooves. The egg molds are super easy, just make sure you peel the eggs while are still hot because if you put them in when they're cold they won't turn out right. Buy extra large eggs too, anything smaller and they won't fill out the mold properly. Hope this helped!

>>9185315
nah man I love living vicariously through the purchases of others to keep it up

>>9179907
Review on the classical puppets petti when it comes?

>>9185546
That's super helpful, thank you! I'm kind of hoping I can use the egg presses as little riceball molds as well.
I just wish I could find some cute sauce containers/bottles now. I couldn't find them anywhere on Taobao!

>>9185549
Then enjoy my cheap $1 jewelry and $2 bento supplies, anon! Aaah I'm so thrifty but I make up for it in bidding on a ton of stuff.

Hyped to get this and display my coords! No more shitty mirror shots that are jacked up from the huge sunny window directly behind it.

First time I've bought firsthand brand :')

>>9162174
They're still available? I had given up on getting a pair, congrats anon!

I know it's basic bitch, but this has been my absolute dream dress (otome aside) ever since it came out.

The first thing I intend to do is replace the straps and remove the pleated panel, hueh.

I don't have a shopping problem.

>>9180526
Aaah, I want that Take the Crown JSK baaad. Would you mind sharing a brief review or posting some pics or something when it arrives?

>>9186282
It's weird and sad i know the mm dress is from shinjuku closetchild sale from last weekend and the coats cc put up on the 15th
>call me brand stalker

>>9186262
I accidentally found them on Mandrake among Jojo figs. They are like pre-owned. Unused, but box was opened.
They could pop up there again, you should check their site sometimes if you want them. Good luck!

>>9186295

I know that exact feel anon. Only worse is that I stalk brand that's already been sold when I get to updates late, and then I spend the day getting a jelly boner at people who happened to snag it before I did.

>>9186282
Source on the hats please?

>>9186431
Both are from CC. Top is innocent world and bottom is Victorian maiden.

>>9186441
Aw, you lucky thing! But thanks for that.

>>9185580
Awesome! I just bought an adjustable dress form for sewing but to be honest I think I am going to use it more for outfit display.

>>9188277
I looked into getting one of the nice adjustable ones for sewing but remembered my sewing skills are kinda garbage. What's the point of buying nice tools if I can't utilize them properly lol
This black one was $43 on ebay. If anyone wants a review it should be here tomorrow or monday. Here's hoping the feet are sturdy!

Here's a horror story for y'all
>Order package of stickers from BTSSB a week ago
>just came in today
>Mail lady was like" I don't know if they sent it to you or if it was us"
>Package is wet??? There hasn't been rain in this area for a month
>Package is opened but the stickers are fine
>???????

>>9188816
I'm glad your stickers are alright! That package has seen some shit though.

My own mini ongoing horror story
>Day 4
>Package Pending Customs Inspection since 12:00am Sept 13th

Where in the hell has my Taobao order gone?

>>9188821
pretty common

>>9188826
Perhaps but I've never had it happen to me but once when my package was trapped in ISC New York (where all my packages go) for a week and I had to call USPS to get them to find it. Turns out it had been misplaced.
This, however, is totally different because the tracking hasn't even told me what customs it's in, what state it's in, nothing. Just that it's pending customs inspection in some mystery location.

>>9188821
Me too! Theyre a lot bigger than theyre shown on site lmao

>>9186274
so jelly, not even kidding. I'm mildly ashamed that this is still my dream dress after all these years

I'm wondering if this is something that sellers do or if USPS does. Whenever I get a package from Japan and I'm not home, I'm always left a notice. If I get something similar from China they always leave it on my porch or stuff it in the mail box. They're typically of the same value. It doesn't matter if I ship via EMS or not.

>tfw you get an $80 customs fee on a pair of shoes that were supposed to be a gift.

I rarely get customs fees on things from Japan but whenever my bf gets me things it seems I always get really high ones...

>>9189376
wish I had a bf

>>9188821
Customs is trying on all the clothes you bought

>things I sorely need: shoes and makeup brushes
>things I buy: everything but shoes and makeup brushes

I have my eye on another lolita cardigan and some larmeable clothes that can double as work wear.
I treated myself since I sold one big item and I'm about to sell another. Even still, I'm going to AWA and should save money for Meta...

>>9189409
I'd sell you mine for 1 cornchip

>>9189472
>Starbucks stuff

basic bitch brigade right here

>>9180768
Hey anon, I'm back!

Good news. These shoes were insanely comfortable.

Neutral news. They're not expensive luxury shoes but they're not any worst than brand shoes.

Bad news. The burgandy is much more wine and purple-hued than I expected and there was a stitching mistake on mine. I ended up returning them for the black pair. I have a disproportionate ratio of black shoes but they were so comfortable...

>>9189475
I can't tell if this is joke or not?

>>9189483
I'm sorry for your autism

>>9189485
Take your bait somewhere other than the mail thread, HWC.
In case you're serious, I only asked because it's a really overused statement. You acted like I posted a collage of Ugg boots, Greeklife shit, and Northface jackets.

If anyone has autism, it's you for getting so triggered by what a stranger buys.

>>9189467
I hope they enjoy those kawaii panties then.

>>9189472
Can I get a link to the flower tights and the two heart necklaces? And maybe reviews when they arrive?

>>9189680
Sure anon, I can review them. The tights were shipped via EMS so they should be here soon.

I've spent way too much money this month but I'm pretty happy with what I've bought.

>>9189482
Thanks so much for this review anon it's really appreciated, especially about the colour difference, I was considering getting the burgundy pair but will probably go for the grey or black though I have too many black shoes.

Would you say it's true to size?

Ive spent a whole month on FJ with this haul and I am completely done with shopping in bulk for the rest of my life.I also got really lucky on this order as most of my dresses were 20-30 bucks minus nun thierry. Now I'm worried what my charge two fee is gonna look like. Any of you gulls wanna guess?

Also everything with a pink dot wasn't ordered from FJ

>>9189796
I think so, at least with my feet. USA 8 all around, and these fit perfectly.

>>9190048
what brand is the red skirt?

>>9190048
>Any of you gulls wanna guess?
A couple hundred dollars I'd say

>>9190070
metamorphose, lolibrary is down but the name of the skirt is heart pockets with pants on the site.
>>9190079
I'm hoping its somewhere between 180-200 for ems as I only had to pay shipping for two items. Any more than that, I might be considering SAL...

>>9189778
Sauce on that cardigan?

Kokokim is having a 50% of sale right now

kokokim-vceng.ocnk.net

>>9189482
I like these so much more than the Steven Madden ones I have! The heel is a lot lower on these.
The SM ones are not good for standing for long amounts of time. Wish I could justify buying these.

>>9189482
Fuck I just ordered these for a burgundy coordinate. I hope they match what I got them for.

I just ordered AatP's Marching Drum bag this morning. I'm so excited! Its the cutest thing.

>tfw you ordered the last one of that colorway from Baby NYC

Bless.

>>9190048
Lotta clothes, but I don't think you're shipping would be much more than $100~150?

Just consolidated everything that's at Tenso for me, and with their fees I'm at $160~$175.

>>9191276
sauce on burgundy heels, anon? also, where'd you pick up the milk bags?

>>9191309
?? No burgundy heels here, unless you mean the ones I posted a review of and returned. I left the link for those somewhere up there.

Milk bags are super easy to find. I got these from Closet Child. Any secondhand lolita will have a selection online, Mercari/Yahoo!JP have a number of people looking to sell theirs, including the gold one.

>>9191321
Sorry, I guess the brown ones? on the right.
they looked red on my phone screen.

>>9191276
Source on the cardigan?

>>9191326
No problem, haha. They're by Earth Music & Ecology. Japanese brand but I noticed afterwards a lot of brands were making this kind of shoe too. Even Target has some cute ones, they had a sale recently for a similar style, $26 shipped. I really like the idea of threading different colored ribbons through them.

No one seems to make dark brown shoes anymore though. Forever looking for dark brown three strap heels...

>>9191329
Axes Femme, link is upwards in the thread. Image I posted is just consolidated stuff at Tenso from a binge..

After years of searching for this colorway I finally snagged it. So happy. It was a bit expensive, but I had some help.

>>9191831

Congrats anon! Finding a dress after so long is extremely satisfying

>>9191831
Top tier taste anon! Glad you found what you were looking for!

Late September shopping binge.

I'll probably add a few more things to my shipment while waiting for Popcorn Carnival but this is it for now.

>>9191987
Popcorn dress buds!

>>9192527
Guh, I bet you have such an adorable wardrobe. Where is the chocolate dress from?


All the dresses are MTO's or reservations I won't see for a few months - brb while I sit by the window wondering when they'll return from the war.

>>9189472
source on the velvet bow?

>>9192559
I love your stuff! Stay strong though!

>>9192527
oh no anon, that chocolate dress is cute but gets runs like crazy. I have one and it has discoloration/patches of runs (it's brown printed on white) on places just from being rubbed weird.

>>9192527
Aha, twinsies indeed, I ordered it in size M, fingers crossed for no boob loaf.

>>9192559
Lolita MTO see you in 7 months. Best to carry on with your life to lessen the pain.

>>9192559
Thank you anon! I think it's so all over the place it'd mostly be considered tacky though, haha. Your taste is beautiful as well! I fell in love with that Snow White dress but I was flat broke when pre-orders were open. Fingers crossed for extra stock or secondhand sales.
Oh and the dress is from Chess Story, they're selling it at a slightly reduced price until the 25th I think.

>>9192588
I heard about the bleeding issues but a line in the description makes it sound like they're using a new material that fixes that, hopefully it turns out to be true. At worst I'll be out about 35 bucks, which won't hurt /too/ much.

>>9189472

Fuck my shit up. That is an old blast from my past anon, holy shit.

Finally got my JoJo shoes today.

Eyyyyyy
Tokyo Mew Mew got me back into manga and subsequently anime in middle school.

>>9193834
Lol, newfag.

>>9193834
What

>>9193834
It's from the series "Melty Ribbon Chocolate" by the brand Angelic Pretty

Ordered this via Mercari. I accidentally came across it and now I'm obsessed with Hoppe Chan.

Also, going to get the 2nd version of these and the little slime charms and I'm wondering if anyone has experience ordering from Amazon Japan. Shipping wise, would it be cheaper to order through a SS or buying directly and shipping through Amazon JP?

Waiting for everything to arrive at my SS, mostly stuff from mercari and fril.
(the blob on the left is a Heart E JSK)

>Order admittedly boring dream dress.
>This week has been at least one terrible disaster each day for me.
>Delivery truck pulls into driveway!
>Guy messes with parcels, jumps back in car and speeds away.
>u wot m8?
>Parcel is now marked 'return to sender, incorrect address.'
>B-but he was right here.. He SAW me waiting at the open door.
>Sender has to redirect it, they won't listen to me.

I think he just missed the fuck-off huge sign at the beginning of the driveway which clearly mapped which of the (whole of 7) townhouses was which..
And then didn't think to just put a missed delivery slip in the again obviously marked mailbox.

Just got Garden Flower in the mail, it's so beautiful with all sorts of little details. I'll be getting the bonnet in a little while, it's with my SS.

I've wanted the Alice necklace for so long and I finally saw it at a good price.

Bought this for myself as a little birthday present, I cant wait for it to arrive! I was actually looking for the yellow OP but beggars cant be choosers

>>9194281
It's cheaper through amazon, but only if the seller allows it. You'll know at the last step of the check-out.

>>9196024
That necklace is beautiful, congrats anon!

Sorry for being a newfag but how does clobbaonline sell? could I expect something from them in time for halloween?

>>9196905

I ordered some stuff to prepare for my Halloween coord, but I don't even think I'm going to be around to dress up for Halloween. So, like a normal person without a shopping problem, I bought a bunch of normie clothes instead of brand.

>>9190716
Oh man, I bought these too and wore them recently. The balls of my feet were swollen when I took them off a few hours later.

>>9196941
dude, what is that response? Worthless is what it is.

>>9196905
In short and certain terms? No.
In the realm of possibility? Yes.
Clobba is a re-seller of several taobao brands, generally they are alright and they do have SOME things on hand to ship right away, but they don't tell you which items those are, and if they don't have it on hand they are just as slow as going through a shopping service, if not often slower.

Basically, i wouldn't risk it unless it is an item you will want to wear outside of Halloween and wont be crushed if it doesn't arrive on time. For best possible results order right now. This of course is my own personal opinion as a person living on the west coast of america. If possible, try to find someone in your own area who has used them before.

>>9194949
hnnng that grandma's couch floral OP is my dream~ Is that a meta piece? I must know!

>>9193081
Way to not show the goods anon! Come on, show me dem shoes!

>>9192559
oh gosh, i need the dress on the top left, what does MTO mean? Where can I get that dress? So many questions!

Caved and finally bought this mto. Should have not talked myself out of it back when the main AP site had them again before.

>hold me gulls

>>9197172
It's from taobao. I'll post the link but unfortunately the reservation ended last month, I just posted it to show off. It's supposed to be released at the end of September, subject to delays but perhaps you could check back on the link or ask a shopping service to see if they will have some extra dresses up for sale.

>>9198106
Great for you, anon! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it when you get it.

>>9195747
contact customer service and report that lazy ass driver. I've had the same happen to me. best of luck

Caught the tail end of the BL sale, thought I'd try some items I'd heard nice things about. If anyone else is curious about BL's wristcuffs I'll report back. The BTSSB dress was a bit of an impulse buy so I hope I like it once it gets here!

Grabbed the cardigan off modcloth, not sure if it's too plain or not but I figured I'd try it anyway, if it doesn't work I can just keep it for my regular wardrobe.

>>9198106
Helllll yeahhhhh

>>9198336
Are you waist training with that corset?

>>9198491
For waist training/daily use, no. I like the look corsets give to my waist in lolita (I think it makes poof more dramatic looking) and while I have one of their other regular corsets and like it very much, it can get a bit bulky under all the layers. I'm just hoping it will be a nice undergarment to help give me definition without the bulkiness.

>>9191831
>>9176046
The shipping for these two items was $60. RIP my wallet

Getting ready for winter!

>>9197167
diff anon but it was the same response one thousand anons had collectively

Way to spoonfeed the newfag though

>>9190048
Whew I'm surprised I got my shipping estimate correct! The grand total for ems is 178 buckaroos.

Some little things this month

>>9198864
Source on said corset, it looks lovely

>>9197169
Here they are!

>>9202382

>>9202382
>>9202385
>>9202389
Damn anon, I'm super jelly.

>>9202326
It's from Orchard Corset. As far as off the rack corsets go, they seem to have the best quality and best prices. They're currently having a sale on some models so you might wanna check them out. The one I bought is a mesh one but they have corsets made from materials like cotton, satin, brocade, leather, etc. They also have a sizing service, if you aren't sure what to get I would definitely take advantage of it.

>>9202382
>>9202385
>>9202389
Gratz anon! How do they fit?

>>9202389
I want to pet that cat

>>9202467
I've heard good things about them, thanks for the sale heads up anon.

>>9202440
>>9202508
Thanks!
They fit well, just like regular converse shoes. Exept that they have some "height increase innersoles" that I find quite funny. Replaced it with normal ones.

>>9202593
He loves being petted.

I discovered that Sintra could be found much cheaper than I'd thought, ordered some, and it finally got here today. I am mad fuckin' excite to get home and start making prop stuff because I've wanted to try using it for SO long.

No picture because I mean, right now it's still just a white rectangle.

21,000 yen shipping included and I could not be happier.
I've been after that Shirley temple beret for years.

A heads up for users of Bhiner- they are better for ordering ready made items than preorder.

I preordered items from Mono Girl that I learn-months laters-were "out of stock" so they had to cancel the order. Thank god they had been an impulse buy and I didn't really want the items anymore. However, I wondered why it had taken to long to find this out (I placed an order in June and production was expected to take a few weeks). I know other girls received their stuff, so Mono Girl isn't scammy. Either Mono Girl fucked up or Bhiner didn't actually preorder my items during the reservation period. I was refunded in full.

Next, Bhiner received a Cynthia V JSK and a blouse, but not another blouse I had ordered. They said they had contacted the seller multiple times and will contact Taobao for help if no response, and assured me I'd get a refund if they couldn't get it. From what they're telling me, it's Cynthia V's fault, but it does seem odd to have an order issue happen twice in the 4 orders I've made. It also would've been nice if they had told me there were issues before I asked when that one blouse would arrive... This order was made in JUNE and I was supposed to receive it in August, it's nearly October and this is the first I've heard of bumps.

I feel completely comfortable ordering ready made items with Bhiner (like the nanchatte stuff pictured) because they arrived quick as lightning and I got pictures, but preorder stuff that- never again. I'm glad I used pruany to order the sailor OP because there were no problems, they were quick to respond, and it's already on its way to me.

>>9192527
cardigan please

My wallet is crying.

>>9205158
but your wardrobe is rejoicing

so excited!

Just bought this JSK!

>>9205174
whoopsie, that's the blouse im wearing with it. here's the JSK :)

>>9205158

Oh you bought it after all! Haha. Now we can twin!

Finally got the Cosmic Heart cushion. Tried to get a shopping service to get it for me at the Sailor Moon event in Roppongi a few months ago, but then even they couldn't get the cushion. Then people were selling them for huge markups after. Finally found someone selling at a not that bad of a markup. Figured that's the cheapest I'm going to find it so decided to jump on it.

And still waiting on that dress.

>>9205158
1A taste aon

A ton of this is for my first itabag, so i'm pretty pumped about it all getting here. The bag is on preorder and WEGO isn't releasing till November, but I figured i'd chuck it in to give an idea of what all the merch is going on!

Otherwise everything else is just some new stuff for my wardrobe, as well as some much needed new makeup and skin care stuff. The makeup won't be here for a bit yet, but i'm so excited to try out the Tony Moly Panda stick.
And of course the figures and a few random weeb things chucked in as well. Out of everything in here that Alter Maki figure probably cost more than it all combined.

>crying because I couldn't even fit in the other shit I ordered

>>9205175
Please post details of this dress when you get it! I am on the fence about it but it seems like it would look nicer in person.

>>9206431
I definitely will! It actually arrived but my coord is nowhere near done...

>>9205158
Tears of jealousy

You're kidding right?

Last minute scrambling for Rufflecon. I would've waited until after the con to buy this (if it was still in stock by then) but I have a taobao dress shipping today and I'm scared it won't get here in time. If Meta ships today or even tomorrow, it should get here in time with EMS.

>>9191987
Hey Anon, where did you get your blue dress?

I got 2 straps for a camera in the mail but I'm not sure how they work. The two hooks are supposed to be on each end but one of them is attached on the string. On both straps.
And the adjustment thing is interlaced where the other hook should be. Are they both factory defects?

>>9197162
your normie choices depress me.

>>9202612
Just fyi, they do sales all the time. The mesh corsets have a tendency to stretch over time with regular use.
Previous corset threads are a good resource if you're still in the market for one.

>>9167680
Hey anon! Dunno if you are still around, but I decided to take the plunge on that Nurse Toledo JSK on mercari. It just arrived in the mail and it actually doesn't smell of smoke/cigarettes at all! Thanks again for letting me know about it, it's so beautiful in person!

>>9168302
Love this haul!

>>9164984
Nice to hear that Canadian postal workers are just as fucking bad as US postal workers. Any time you need help they will go out if their way to be lazy pieces if shit. I say go again and ask to speak to a manager. I've had a similar situation before, asked to speak to a manager, and the package was magically found in the back despite the bitch telling me it isn't there because tracking never updated.

When I told her manager and the manager magically came back with my package from the back room, I looked the unhelpful bitch in the eye with a big smile and said "wow, how did your manager go to China and come back so fast?"

I swear that as a prerequisite for being hired as a postal worker you need to be as unhelpful as possible. On the job interview they probably ask all of them "On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to find enjoyment in being an unhelpful sack of shit and getting paid for it?"

Every single post office I've been to, even outside of my state, it's fucking unbelievable. They'll hire the bitchiest old chicks who will roll their eyed and scoff at any hint of you possibly giving them a reason to walk away from the service window. Though I will day that it's a nice feeling when you prove them to be lazy pieces of shit in front if their managers though.

Fuck I hate postal workers. I use UPS whenever possible. It's more expensive but at least I KNOW my package will get there and I KNOW they'll bend over backwards to provide customer service for me.

>>9179275
here, got everything but the shoes in already.

exciting!

>>9180526
>>9186283
Seconding the review on the dress! Can't believe I missed this beauty!

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but I am currently shitting myself about a package.

I posted out a rather large order from Buyee by SAL ($400 of stuff plus $200 in fees and shipping) and well, all of my other orders had been delivered within 9 days of them being shipped. Anyways, this order still isn't here yet and had updated as left Japan on the 24/09 and still hasn't updated as in my country yet..

Am I right to start panicking? Or am I just being impatient as fuck? (I might add it was being shipped to New Zealand from Japan, if that makes much difference for SAL)

>>9166494
I have the headbow to Tiara Rose if you want it. I got it off y!j thinking I could use it for another dress, but not really.

Decided to order a bunch of molds. I just want to make a bunch of cute resin stuff.

>>9210695
2 weeks is not a huge amount of time for SAL. Did you mark it as the actual value? Because if so I suspect it could be in customs right now and they've been lazy and not updated the tracking.

>>9210695
>New Zealand
>$400
You might be getting hit by customs, my kiwi friend.

...but actually, for a large parcel and SAL 2-4 weeks is to be expected. There are also a whole lot of delays with NZ post at the moment which could be a contributing factor. But most likely it's waiting somewhere to get on a plane to NZ with a bunch of other parcels, so if I were you I would chill.

>>9208996
literally all this 1000x for USPS

>>9206345
I went to the event in May and they didn't have the cushion, they must have had them early on.

>show my ID and tell the worker there should be a package for me
>"Nothing's come through with that name"
>ok but like can you check? Bc there was definitely a delivery slip and tracking shows it's here
>Can't fucking be bothered to check, insists he knows it's not there

Last thread there was an anon who asked for my review of this jacket
http://s.aliexpress.com/UbqU7b6V
when it arrived and it arrived a while ago and I meant to do one but I've been busy with college I had to evacuate my residence yesterday due to a hurricane so I can get you photos when I return on Monday(?)
But in the mean time here's a text review:
It's very soft, warm, fluffy, and oversized. Doesn't shed, doesn't smell weird. My only complaint is that the elastic in the bottom and sleeves feels weird. It's not gathered there and instead elastic was sewn into it to give it stretch and it feels sort of...hard? Not unstrechy but hard.

>>9197162
Source on grey skit and jacket?

>>9206345
And have now added these 3 things to my list, moon chalice blush, and the two cheek brushes. I clearly don't know the meaning of saving money.


>>9211212
They must have, or didn't end up getting them until later in the event. But now can stop thinking about it and wanting it.

I'm getting really nervous. I had Buyee ship a package and it was sent Airmail on October 3rd, it hasn't updated past Tokyo. How long should I give it before I start getting worried?

>when you get a big fat box of lolita on your doorstep
>...but it wasn't your purchase so you have to track down who it was supposed to be mailed to and deliver it yourself

At least now I know where the other lolita in town is?

>be in a state neighboring NY
>95% of time, items leaving NY customs arrive next day
>5% of time, items arrive the day after that
>package left NY on 10/4
>haven't gotten ANY mail since 10/4
>it's 10/7
>tracking says package will arrive 10/8

hmm, I'm feeling like it won't be arriving since no one in my apartment building has been getting mail all week. normally, i can wait forever for packages, but i need this for work and was expecting it this week.

>>9212685
>Airmail
>October 3rd

Chill your panties, anon. That's only four days ago and it's Airmail aka the slowest form of mail aside from 3+ month Surface Parcel.

>>9212776
Still didn't arrive, and tracking still says it is going to arrive today.

>>9210695
Next time id recommend a more reliable shipping option than SAL. Also SAL is slow and all international items coming into NZ at the moment have heavy delays. Also you will definitely get hit by customs so expect further delays.

Finally found a moto jacket in a nice shade of pink after looking forever. Everything else has been super muted pink or not leather/faux leather. So I'm very pleased with this.
