Oh, excuse my terrible sense in naming my post entry. I'm actually too excited to give a good thought on what the post title should be!
Things have been... horrible for me and my dear friends who involved with the hijab lolita interview. Every one of us claimed we are used to this negative comments from the public, since three of five of you are hijab cosplayers. We claimed we are fine but truth to be told, we are not.
Deep down inside, we are no different than any girl out there- fragile, defenseless and being accused for nonsense. This would be the third day since the interview video was on air.
Alhamdulillah, Allah presented me good news!
MY PARCEL HAS ARRIVED!
*dances in joy*
I never expected it to arrive so early. All right, so here is the timeline for the items I ordered!
29th May - Paid deposit for Honey Honey Lolita Rabbit in Teacup JSK in red
1st July - Inquired price for Luka Megurine's Senbonzakura boots and Luka Megurine's Senbonzakura Costume
24th July - Informed the dress is ready for shipment and need to pay balance
31st July - Paid the balance for the dress, boots and costume
2nd August - FINALLY decided the size and chose "Original tailor printing"
10th August - Updated on the shipping weight and price
13th August - PARCEL ARRIVED!
The joy of able to touch new JSK is literally over the clouds! With the three days of hell I have to go through, the parcel is something like the right potion to cure the madness and depression I was feeling at the moment.
Hana: Eh? So small! Wait, what EXACTLY did we buy?
Haine: Beats me, I don't remember.
Hana: -squeaks in joy- The boots! The dress! Oh oh, the costume must be in the black wrapping!
Hana: The printing on the clothes is so pretty! I love it!
Haine: The boots looks dangerous though....

PRICE: RM 204.70 including RM 12 shipping cost.
The dress is not available anymore as the reservation period has ended.
MATERIAL(S): Cotton, with satin layered underneath the dress.
Frankly speaking, I don't know what hit me at the time when I agree to buy this dress. Why I said that? Any printing that has animal or human figures is not allowable during prayer. Meaning, I cannot perform prayer while wearing clothes that have animal or human printing- either portrait or full body. There are some rulings that said if the animal printing is imperfect, for example it has no facial details just the figure like Polo logo- it is allowable. Some also said that if the logo or printing is too small, or the animal is not real, for example rabbit in coat with watch, it is allowable.
HOWEVER, these rulings do not come with strong Hadith and for me it is better not to wear such things since I don't want to cause something that would distract others while they perform their Solah beside me. They might be staring at my dress or shirt like it's the best thing to look at instead of the Sejadah.
When I received the dress, I put it on and decided to test it with my Infanta bonnet. Mind you, they are from two different shops and from two different series.
It fits so perfectly! I felt in love with this coordinate, except I have to change my hijab instead of red to be cream. The bonnet matches the dress and I could not feel any happier than this! I bought M size in ruby and the fact the dress is actually very comfortable when I'm wearing it saves it from being put on sale. WHY? I have trouble putting it on. The dress is not stretchable around the chest area. It is fixed and when I try to put it on, it stuck half-way.
EXCUSE ME FOR BEING FAT THEN, IT'S ONLY FEW WEEKS AFTER RAYA SEASON.
I love the dress, particularly the printing. So I'm not going to sell it. I maybe gonna try to... alter the chest area a bit. *shrugs*
PRICE: RM 97.20 not include RM 24 shipping cost (paid together with the boots)
MATERIAL(S): Uniform fabric and satin (the white apron dress)
SHOP NAME / CHOICE: Yuqing Animation Studio (google translated) / Original tailor printing
I am totally in love with this costume! Unlike other costumes I have had and worn before, I feel extremely at home and comfortable with this costume. It is very comfortable, cozy and just super SUPER amazing. The color options it has kinda confusing for me and I troubled Nyan few days trying to make the right choice.
Alhamdulillah the choice I picked is the right and the best one. THANK YOU NYAN FOR THE HELP!
It covers right over where the boots covered, it is exactly as I wanted. One of the reasons why I want to cosplay Luka Megurine from Senbonzakura is because the costume itself covers aurah. I might have to wear white inner since the sleeves are yukata-like and so my arms are exposed.
PRICE: RM 90.50 not include RM 24 shipping cost (paid together with the costume)
MATERIAL(S): N/A
SHOP NAME / CHOICE: 长青cos鞋 / size 39
The boots are in perfect condition, new and safe. Safe I mean because, Ya Allah, the boots are somewhat like the Japanese traditional shoes with a pair of wooden platforms attached beneath each boot. There's zip behind the boots, so it is easier for me to take the boots off without the need to untie the shoelaces.
I am very pleased with the costume and boots I received. Being someone who doesn't know how to sew, I depend a lot on purchasing costumes, shoes and props from the right shops. It is not the modest thing to do in cosplay world, but I have to make sure I can role the character perfectly. *pressures*
Looking forward to show at Animangaki this 29th August as the sweet Luka Megurine. See ya!
