It has been awhile since I bought something from Taobao. My last year budget was pretty much used up to order one of Heroine from Amnesia costumes from Nekoworkshop. It was sad to hear that Nekoworkshop is no more taking Taobao order and I think it's understandable considering it also takes on cosplay commissions. I think that's its primary line of service, too.
So anyway!
Here is the full schedule of the order. ★
February 28th - Placed order for Fanzy Fantasy Miss Tear blouse in white.
April 3rd - Placed order for Meow House chiffon underskirt in white and Infanta Swan Lake blouse in creamy white
April 4th - Placed order and paid deposit for Grove Dear CLA OP in gray purple.
April 5th - Final call for Fanzy Fantasy Miss Tear blouse.
April 15th - Warehouse received the blouse and the underskirt.
April 16th - Ready for shipping to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
April 25th - Arrived safely at my house ♥
★ Taobao Shopping Service ★
Despite the fact Taobao has now provided way to purchase through what it seems Malaysia version of Paypal, I still prefer Taobao SS. Therefore, I proudly present to you Nyan2Shoppu. This would be my second time ordering from Nyan2Shoppu. Nyan (I am so sorry if this is not your real name!) is very helpful, patient and always ready to cater all my needs and requests.
Got to be honest, dealing my orders require mountains of patience and dedication. It's like treating a princess on her shopping day.
Because I am extremely so used to Neko's service, I feel a bit scared to try other Taobao SS and Nyan helps me to overcome the fear and distrust so well. She answers all my question and absolutely helps me to make sure my orders arrive, or will inform as early as possible in case the shipping could not make in time.
Service and communication:
There's two-ways communcation between me and Nyan and I love it very much. It makes me feel confident and at ease AND that I can trust Nyan. We manage to work out things despite both of us have lack of grammar and vocabulary to explain to each other of things -laughs lightly-
Price and charge:
I am not sure it is due to the currency, the GST or the world economy, but somehow I find Nyan charges me quite cheap. The total amount I have spent for the reservation of the dress, the three pieces that arrived and the shipping cost is RM 455.20. We will get to the price for the items part later. Overall, Nyan2Shoppu charges quite reasonable. It takes nine days, which means close to two weeks, for the shipping for warehouse to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia using I-Dex. I think the amount of days is somewhat normal, or at least at the average level. It is neither too late, nor too early. At least Nyan managed to get the parcel arrived in time. Yay!
Oh, just so you know, Nyan2Shoppu does not have extra charge such as service charge or whatsoever. You pretty much just pay for the items and the shipping cost. That's that. I think majority Taobao SS in Malaysia do not charge for its service, or at least those who I have ordered my items with.
All right, onward with the reviews.
So, I ordered and received three items all together:
1. Fanzy Fantasy Miss Tear blouse in white.
2. Meow House chiffon underskirt in white.
3. Infanta Swan Lake blouse in creamy white.
The first touch on the pieces already captivated me. They are super soft and airy that I know I'm both happy and doomed. Chiffon is very comfortable, light and beautiful- it is somewhat the perfect material to use to make Lolita pieces.
BUT!
Chiffon is deemed to be seen-through material. I spot this first problem beforehand but just as fast I notice the problem, I solve it.
Solution: Wear matching color inner shirt.
On top of that, since I will be wearing jumperskirt, I don't think I will be facing too obvious problem wearing the shirts. Still, wearing inner shirt is the best solution because I don't feel comfortable knowing people can see my flappy arms under beautiful frilly blouse. Ugh!
PRICE: RM 153.30.
Not sure the current price since I bought it during its reservation period.
MATERIAL(S): Thick chiffon with cotton laces for the details.
I extremely in love with the details and the material used to make the blouse. It is very comfortable, neither too light nor too heavy and it gives this amazing princess-like feeling when I'm wearing it.
BUT!
The problem with blouse with sleeves like that is that I face trouble wearing it. It took me more than three minutes to get into my JSK while wearing the blouse due to the layers on the sleeves.
I guess trying to be beautiful do comes with hardships.
PRICE: RM 135.90
MATERIAL: Airy and thin chiffon
This blouse is not white, actually. It is light peach, or cream color, that even under spotlight it remains peach or cream, not white. To be honest, I was a bit worried when I bought this blouse because when I saw it's actually creamy I was not sure which of my jumperskirt might suit it!
Yikes! WARNING!
But Alhamdulillah, when I wear it, it blends it perfectly. The Victorian sleeves give this amazing feeling of elegance. I guess this is how the actual lolita blouse would feel like.
Oh? yes! These blouses would me my first actual blouses!
PRICE: RM 115.20
MATERIAL: Airy and thin chiffon
Underskirt has different functions than a petticoat. Underskirt helps adding volume to the dress and some actually are long enough to cover your legs down to below knees. Being a hijabster, Muslim Lolita, I want to buy an underskirt that could cover my legs at least below my thighs.
Little that I know my legs are long and the skirt length is not enough to cover them!
Next time, I should pay attention to the measurement table. Anyway!
The underskirt is made of chiffon and so it is very comfortable and fluffy with the ruffles.
BUT!
Without a petticoat underneath it, I might not be able to puff the dress. Puffiness is important while wearing lolita dresses! I am still happy with the underskirt because Hana likes the ruffles very much!
With this, I have covered up the pieces I bought in April. I do not plan to buy any more pieces in May apart from the OP dress from Grove Dear which I have deposited for reservation. Well, I can't promise I won't be buying any more pieces to complete my lolita wardrobe, but I have to spend wisely because May.... EHEM! I have some other things to buy.
It's for my oka-san, see!
That's all for now! Till next time!
So anyway!
