this video was very helpful! i do have a few questions.. in my country, the heat will simply not allow me to wear long sleeves or sometimes even shoulder sleeved blouces. would it be acceptable if i wear a sleevless blouse that matches my skirt? of course, id be wearing a petticoat and the rest of the lolita elements! im quite newand have only been able to wear my fashion when im taking my college classes in air conditioned classrooms.
@diamondthestormКүн бұрын
Hello! Yes, you can forgo a blouse as long as the rest of the coord is styled properly! :) I also recommend looking into cutsews, which feel very much like T-shirts. Very light and easy to wear!

Sometimes they have deals throughout the year for free shipping, but the item itself is already usually very overpriced so they can get away with doing free shipping from time to time

I'm not sure. For me, it has my U.S. State. We write our address as City, State, Country. So I suppose whatever goes between City and Country in the UK, if something does? Sorry for not having more information on this.

I think going without a petticoat can sometimes work depending on the dress cut and especially if you’re going for a more old-school/proto look
@diamondthestorm26 күн бұрын
That's true, I have seen some really good coords manage to make it work without a petti. I just generally don't recommend beginners not to have one so they don't get used to it.

What petticoat shape should I get for it? A line or bell shaped? Or even cupcake shaped? I am a classic lolita so I only wear A-line but my partner wants to get this dress and asked me for petticoat advice. It doesn't look A-line to me, so our current petticoats might not work. My partner currently only owns shimotsuki sakuya's whisper of stars with an A-line hoop skirt.

hi!! sorry this is a super late comment 😭 but do you have any experience buying directly from taobao without a shipping agent? more specifically through the app? :') i can't find any specific information about it really and my app interface seems to look different to other people's (it doesn't give me the option of choosing direct/consolidated shipping, just "air" or "sea" shipping so i don't know exactly what i'm paying for. it displays shipping fees on the final payment screen but not sure if these are the actual shipping fees or if there will be more since it seems quite cheap?) if it helps i'm located in, australia which is supposedly one of the countries they can ship directly to. if you or anyone knows anything about this then please let me know!!

Hi there! I know this is an older video but I just have a question. I’m very new to ordering on different websites and so I’d ordered from glitzy Wonderland. But I’m confused about how my package will deliver using free shipping and how long will the tracking number will appear on my email. Am I supposed to receiving any important email from them after an order? And what happens when the order status is “complete” when it’s just been ordered. I’m willing to try out this fashion but i just need help and confirmation 🥹
@diamondthestorm3 ай бұрын
Hello! On Glitzy, the shipping is not "free", it's just already added into your purchase. You will get the tracking number once your package ships out, which should be a week or so after you complete your order. Basically a complete order is just paying, but they still need to order the item on Taobao and then it needs to be shipped to you.😊Let me know if you have any more questions.😊
