Taobao Haul (again)

Hey Everyone!

I hope y'all are having a good day. This whole past month have been pretty craptastic.

No thanks to DHL, I got hit with customs and had to pay nearly 50% of the total value of my items. Not cool.

I used TaobaoMode this time too because eh why not. They have good service, too. I totally reccomend them!

So yeahhh...Here's what I got this time =_=


I finally got around to getting some blouses since I have a serious lack for them. The top left pile is 2 scarves. 

Black Scarf/Red Scarf:  Nice and thick and wide. I can wrap it twice, tuck the ends and I would get circle scarf. My mom says it's too big. Good.

La Maison Blouse/Mini Tie Blouse/Scallop Collar Blouse: I don't have much to say. It feels like the standard chiffon blouse materal. The La Maison blouse's sleeves are huge. It definitely looks bad so I wouldn't reccomend you getting this blouse unless you can sew or if you have bigger arms. The scalloped collar one is not quite chiffon...more like crepe I think(?).  The ribbon pinned on really half-assed-ly so I fixed it before taking the picture. 



Pearl Collar: Feels flimsy. I am so scared of it coming apart. But otherwise, it's okay.

Velvet Dress: Not what I expected lol. Kind of like costumey-shiny, cheap velvet materal. Has a mini "petticoat" thing that doesn't really do anything. But I do like the tiered, gathered skirt. I can put my own petti in it. Looks kind of frumpy on me so I don't even know if I want to keep it. (This is the picture of the back, btw. The front has no embellishments.)

(edit: I cut off the sleeves. looks 8735984% better)




Harness: I reeeaaally like this harness. I've been wanting this one for awhile and I finally got it! I actually wore it backwards in the first photo. 2 in 1! Can't wait to wear it out~ Quality-wise...it seems sturdy. The edges are a bit rough, probably because it's not real leather so it can be a little scratchy.


Fabric: I got this to make a overskirt for my Halloween costume. It's not the scratchy tulle stuff, its cotton and super soft. I got 8 meters total. 

I also bought a wig, but I don't have a good photo of it yet. Stay tuned?  See my Halloween post1

JAN OUT-
