Taobao Order #2 Opening!

 Hi friends! <3

It's been quite a while since my first taobao order. I still have everything I ordered before with the exception of the sleeping beauty set. I ended up selling that since I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Anyways... The petticoat I had bought back then was my first proper one and has held up quite well over the years. However, recently I noticed that it was starting to lose its poof. I figured it was time to get a new one. I thought I'd get a few other items too. Once I figured out what I wanted, I had a friend place my order with their shopping service so their items and mine could be combined for shipping later on.

Thoughts:

I am happy I got all of these items. The blouses are gorgeous and will get worn a lot with sweet and classic looks. I sized up in the blouse because I was concerned it might be too small. It ended up being slightly big but that's alright. The sleeves are super long which was a pleasant surprise. Being on the tall side, I find it difficult to find long sleeves that are actually long enough . The lace/fabric is lightweight and soft. The bands in the sleeve are elastic and stretch a bit. I plan to get the black colorway next time.

The bags are very nice. The silver one is seems to be plastic-y with some cardboard underneath. I like the bow on the front with the fake pearl chain. I am worried about the bag getting scratched/dented with use but I'll be extra careful with it. Stars are one of my favorite shapes and this will go great with my coords. And the strawberry one, omg! I love it! The fabric is sturdy with a plastic coating over it. The words appear to be embroidered in golden thread. Strawberries are one of my favorite themes in lolita. It can hold a lot and will match with many of my dresses. The postcard and hand fan are cute extras.

The petticoat is so fluffy! I love how colorful it is <3 It fits me a bit tightly at the waist, but the elastic should loosen up a bit with some wearing. This is the same petticoat that was featured in FluffyKawaiiJo's The ULTIMATE lolita petticoat comparison video. I went for the full color option which was a few dollars extra but I think it was worth it.
