For those of you who have open orders with Chibi, what's her invoice time like now? I know she's really backed up, and I would like to have my order from her in two weeks. She should have all of my pieces by now, but how long is the invoice wait?

She still hasn't invoiced me for Misty Sky, but I have email contact to confirm she hasn't retracted my order. I wonder how she gets so many pieces.

[Anonymous No.8416647]

There's a new girl in my comm, she doesn't have anything yet but I'll be meeting up with her soon to sell a small item. Would it be rude to give her an organized list of 2nd hand/taobao stores where she can get a good grasp of where to buy without having to go all new brand right off the bat if she doesn't want?
I'm pretty sure she knows about taobao, but I've found some stores that I don't ever see posted about here. I'm meaning for it to be helpful because I know I would have liked to have a larger view/tutorial of how to get around and where to go.

If I were you, I'd ask if she wanted any help with second hand/taobao and proceed from there. I know as a newb, I would have liked it if someone knowledgeable had offered to walk me through finding an SS or vouched first hand for various indie brands. But it's best not to assume.

I bought something and just received it from her. It took about 2 weeks after the auction closed for her to invoice me. I sent her a message the day before, although I felt bad because I know she's busy. She updated me right away and invoiced me the next day.

Just gonna clarify that that incredibly hostile message was not me/OP responding.

I think I may wait it out and will have to come up with another coord. It's not a huge deal, and I wouldn't feel comfortable adding any stress to her since she seems to be more overwhelmed now than ever.

Ummm... why did you feel the need to point that out? Do you not agree that she should've waited an extra day instead of badgering Chibi to rush their order? It's people like that who makes customer service a terrible experience for everyone else.

[Anonymous No.8416730]

The reason they were invoiced the next day is because they sent the message...

>you're honestly a selfish piece of shit

I asked a simple question and it was politely answered. I'd like to make it clear to the person who responded that I wasn't someone throwing a hissy fit over being politely addressed.

And I do and don't agree. If you're badgering someone left and right for aback immediate invoice, then yeah, that's wrong, but there's no indication that anon did that. If send an email saying, "hey, I know you're busy, but if you have the possibility of doing this for me and are willing, then I greatly appreciate it, if not, then absolutely don't worry about it" then I don't see any problem. Quit getting so bent out of shape over nothing

Is this a replica? I got it for super cheap at a really random place. Usually, I see the brand logo embossed, not embroidered. Also, it's pretty flimsy compared to my AP bags.
But I want to believe.

I preordered mine Friday because, like a lot of people said, Meta is pretty hard to find secondhand. If you don't like it, you probably won't have a hard time selling it, and will likely make someone else very happy for the same reason above.

I had to ask her to hold my items because I'm going to be out of the country, she told me she's doing her next batch of shipping on Monday.

Meta isn't really a 'trendy' brand like Baby or AP, so you get a lot less people buying dresses because of the hype and then falling out of love with them. On one hand, that's good because it leads to dresses not selling out nearly as quickly, but on the other that means people rarely sell their dresses for the same reasons.

I bought my dream dress on the 12th and promptly paid the seller. It is now the 21st, and I haven't received the dress or tracking number from the seller (she is in NY, I'm in AZ)

She has never contacted me first, I was always the one to initiate communication. She said twice she would get me the shipping info, but it's been days and she still hasn't.

Now reading her LM feedback, I'm not the first person she has done this to:

"NEGATIVE The shoes arrived in perfect condition. They arrived on the 5th of January, 25 days since I paid and 7 days after the delivery period estimated by Sheepdoll. I had to initiate all communication with her, except for the invoice. She said she would ship the 15th or 16th. She ignored my messages on Lace Market and her email for 9 days asking for the tracking number. The photo of the receipt provided to me on the 31st showed she had shipped them on the 27th, making her previous statement of having a tracking number on the 18th a lie. Regardless of the condition and shipping of the shoes, due to the issues with communication with this seller, I would avoid doing any transactions with her again. "

If so, yeah >>8419961 is what the other anon responded with, which is infinitely more sturdy than threading the ribbon through lace loops. You could also make a bunch of little loops out of fabric or out of the ribbon itself for the corset lacing to thread through, but ideally these are sewn into the seam.

Just message the seller, tell them you would like to buy it and you have questions, and that you'd still be interested in it after the listing expires.
If she still actually wants to have it sold, she'll get in touch.
Also, if it's a dream dress, is there really any price you wouldn't pay?
Another note, if their profile lists a city, you can get an approximate shipping charge on the shipping calculator of whatever postage you use. I know for sure USPS has that available.

She messaged me back letting me know I had won them all and I received the invoice the next morning. I didn't ask for the invoice.

I can see why it would bother some people that it took so long, but I've had dealings with chibi before and knew it would take a while. She's always been very sweet and I know she's reliable so I do not mind waiting.

Maybe it's because of the built in pannier? If that's the case, it should be detached and a regular petti worn under all for even pouf. That might solve this issue. I have a shorter (on me) AP JSK with this situation. That pannier is coming out! Easy enough to stitch it back in and explain the situation if I ever sold the piece. It wouldn't show at all from the outside if it were sewn back in.

Meta's LP skirts seem to be made from leftover fabric, they don't seem to actually put the regular release skirts into them. It's really hard to say what series has leftover fabric, though, since it's possible some of the fabric is not because a series did well, it might be that they restocked for a series and then had excess fabric.

There's no guarantee about anything in your skirt. For eg, a lot of girls got Magic Crayon skirt and socks from the same batch of LP, but some girls got floral skirts and non-border skirts of the bath print from the very same LP. And once, a particular Meta LP that had dark or light cutsews had people who ordered dark getting pastel cutsews and pastel skirts anyway.

Glad I could help. Personally I think Meta LPs are great for the blouses alone, unlike the skirts they come with price tags and seem to be regular release blouses that didn't sell well, so the detailing and quality on them is pretty good. I'm not sure how big they go, though, so I guess you might be better off going with a commissioned blouse if you're over 40cm in the shoulders.

The skirts themselves are also good if you're a daily lolita or into wearing lolita casually -- some Bodyline skirts cost more than $50, and while they have border prints the Meta skirts have better fabric and are more comfortable.

Do any of you gulls have any European shopping services you can recommend? I recall seeing some mentioned in other places for ordering from some indie brands that don't ship internationally, but I can't remember them at all and it was years ago so it might not even be relevant.

I clean mine out at least once a year, and you have to be brutal. I pull out every piece of clothing and sort all of it into 'keep' 'donate/throw' 'undecided'. Anything that I haven't worn lately and probably wouldn't wear soon gets donated. Same with items where I already have similar clothes because I don't really need so many things that look pretty much the same. I find that having a friend (who hopefully has similar taste to you) to help you is good because you can get a second opinion on all your undecided clothes.

It helps to make stuff feel less cluttered if you take out all of the completely unseasonably items and put them in a box somewhere. For example, in winter I live in jumpers and rotate through like 8 or 9 items of knitwear. That takes up a lot of space in my wardrobe so when summer comes I stick all my jumpers and woolly hats in a box apart from one or two light sweaters. Then when winter comes again and I see stuff for the first time in a few months, I can cast a more objective eye over it in seeing what's worn out and needs to go. I used to do my seasonal clearouts at the end of the season, rather than waiting til that season was about to start again, but that's actually a bad method. because I don't know in spring what my financial situation is going to be like in six months time, or whether the trends are going to be ones I like, so I can't tell how easy things will be to replace. In previous years I've ended up getting rid of slightly worn items assuming I'd be able to replace them, then found the trends that year were hideous and there was nothing I wanted to replace it with. Another time I culled summer workwear in autumn, then hit a financial bad patch and couldn't afford to buy new items, so I had to wear boots and long sleeves all next summer.

Hey gulls, I was hoping one of you could help me identify a dress for a friend of mine because I can't for the life of me figure it out.
She saw it a few weeks back and apparently it was brown with gold buttons/details, oval "mirrors" with what she thinks was chandeliers in some of them on it and that's all she got. I know it's not much to go on but hopefully one of you knows what dress she's talking about

This feels kind of lazy. Like it's not ugly or bad, but it just feels lacking compared to the last few releases we've had.

Waiting for another print with sweets or something on it, still haven't had the yearly chocolate print show up, though I guess those are usually fall.

It's totally a replica, you can see part of the border print on the bodice.

[Anonymous No.8425237]

>>8424731
i feel like it will be a bloodbath but not too highly coveted, because of the material and how sweet it is (most popular prints are on chiffon or winter materials), so second hand will probably only be around retail and then drop to slightly below retail after better things come out. that's what im guessing.

If you wander over to the plus size sales groups, you see some of this. For awhile there as a newbie I dabbled a little on the replica side of things. This was before brands started making statements about them, and while there was a general consensus here and on btb that they were shit, most people were still kind of on the fence with them. Things have changed a great deal since then. But I do know people who are all over them replicas.

About them replicas, I'm very hesitant about buying one. Mostly because I am tall and brand bodices are too short. Still, I can't bring myself to do it since it's art theft, it's counterfeiting et cetera, but brought me real close to my dream dress.
Plus, seamstresses can replicate the cuts, not the prints.

[Anonymous No.8426306]

If the real thing doesn't fit you, is out of your price range, bodybody is selling it, but you desperately want to see yourself in that dress. Some people only care about wearing things that make them feel good, not taking photos, meeting other lolitas, status or anything. They might want to support the brand that originally designed the dream dress but can't because of the above reasons. Or they just don't care. There is nothing beautiful or philosophical about it.
