I bought a PILE OF DRESSES from TAOBAO! 10 lolita dresses and accessories

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

I review tons of weird places to buy lolita fashion at. Check out this playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bajZnKeCpbaggNE Do you have places where you are not sure if you can buy lolita fashion from? Ask in the comment and I will try it.

[@tacocatismyalias1412]

I would like to suggest something for the starter kits! What if you make the full kits like you intend but also smaller kits that don't include a dress? It could have the blouse, bloomers, shoes, matching accessories, etc. Essentially, the goal with these is to make them as basic/simple as possible to easily match with a dress that someone got somewhere else. I feel like a common experience is just buying a dress and waiting for it to arrive before you start getting anything else (that's pretty much what I'm doing right now), so if you have "anything else" already put together in white or black or any other lolita neutral (is that a valid term? I just made it up), then you'll be able to help people in that position, too. The only one I would worry about including for a smaller kit like this is a petticoat since that is more dress-specific.

[@marygreenapple]

That's actually a really good idea.

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

That is an amazing idea!!! You are right. So many people start with a dress and struggle to find the rest after. I will definitely do that. Maybe I can have several basic petticoats and they could pick what would fit their dress. I love it. Thank you so much for the idea!

[@flamebloom4659]

All of this stuff is sooo much better than all the lolita dresses I saw when I went to my first convention last summer! If I had seen these dresses I would have bought them in a heartbeat! Also starter packs sound like an amazing idea! I hope this business endeavour goes well for you!

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you. I need to figure some of the things out like sizes. But I think it’s something that is needed so I will do it!

[@Tenareful]

A plus size starter pack would be amazing it can be really hard to find stuff and a baby lolita especially things like blouses and socks

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Yes. I see so many comments of people not finding the right thing or not in their size or buying shitty quality for too much money. Once I figure out the details I think it could be an amazing service to the beginner community.

[@Angliss97]

this is the biggest parcel i have ever seen xD

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

I own two clothing businesses so unfortunately I have seen bigger. But this one was really impressive.

[@elenafort8231]

I SCREAMED when I saw the size of the box! I also gasped over the tea about the shady lolita re-seller! So shady and gross. It rivals Lor's story about buying her first dress at a con and it was a Bodyline dress that was 3x the cost and had its tags cut out. The red panda dress is so cute! I'm in love!

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you! I didn’t realize I have now a lolita horror story to share in case I need to! I just listened to Lor’s story too. That’s sad.

[@TheJustPixie]

Congrats on the super goody box. Not a bad haul for the money! I think a starter pack for new Lolitas is an excellent idea. I notice would be followers of the passion on are so afraid of getting it wrong. Our fashion is not an “easy” one. It is possible to look standout gorgeous or standown Gorgon at the drop of a headbow and to have a ready made coord assembled by a Fluffy as an introduction, would be very reassuring. The studio looks just perfect btw. The ideal backdrop.

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you. I am happy you like the new studio! I’ll do my best to make a good starter pack!

[@qtcherry5476]

I love how much you're doing for the lolita community and how passionate you are for it 💖💖 you're seriously so inspiring

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

That is so nice of you. I do my best!

[@JoyofTear]

I feel so excited as you opening the box and showing each item you bought from Taobao. I never ordered Taobao from the U.S., except there was a time when I went back to China and visited my friends and family members. I asked my friend to help me bought a lot of clothes and it was free shipping because it shipped within China...I asked a lot of my friends in the U.S. if they ever bought anything from Taobao and they said the process is a pain and it takes forever and I must buy a lot of things, so it worths worth shipping fees... Thank you for showing your Taobao open box and I am so happy for you to have many cute lolita dresses!!!!

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you! I guess I thought the process always more complicated before I tried!

[@blooberrybaggens]

The packaging thing drives me nuts too. Your room and your Coord is so so so kawaii. 🤩 Hope your holiday was nice

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you so much Ana. I had wonderful holidays and super productive ones. I edited so many videos!

[@tosewthyself]

I use 42Agent (formerly Taobao Ring) as my shopping service and I love them! The website is very easy to use and the customer service has always been great!

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Awesome. Thank you for the suggestion. I will check them out.

I could feel my younger self crying with jealousy at this haul ;)

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

It’s not for me and thankfully not all the dresses appeal to me. That would have been terribly hard to handle to want them all!

[@lougraves]

@@FluffyKawaiiJo yeah true, it's a slightly sensible haul because it's for business. But still, teenage me would go crazy ahaha

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

@@lougraves I know. That's maybe too extreme, but also that's why this video is doing so good :)

[@Rakealia]

I use SpreeNow and Bhiner Lolita for shopping on Taobao. With SpreeNow, it took about 10 days to get my order to them and then they shipped it the day after I paid for shipping, it took two weeks from China to the US and my door. :) I'm still waiting on my Bhiner orders, but they had to be made so they will take a bit longer. It's really nice to have higher sizes included in surprise boxes and such. I love the idea of those sorts of things, but given my size... not going to happen. Love the lace sleeved tops, bookmarking them for a Bhiner order.

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you for your message 💖

[@mushroomdestroyer]

As someone who buys a lot of AliExpress I try to recycle as much of the packaging as possible, I do hate all the extra plastic but I try to do what I can recycling wise

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thankfully in my everyday work I can use a lot of the plastic bags to sort and separate things. But especially the tins of scotch tape I remove from boxes on a weekly basis drives me made. It takes me 10-20 minutes to separate plastic tape from a cardboard box to be properly recycled. But when I get to the cardboard bin to get rid of it I am so depressed to see that people throw away regular trash in the sorted cardboard bin and that all my good efforts, time and being a good citizen is just pointless if the rest of the people in the block don’t care 😭

[@mushroomdestroyer]

FluffyKawaiiJo i know the struggle, my job has recycling cans and I see people throwing trash in them or throwing recycling into the trash , it’s pretty frustrating. I don’t have recycling at my apartment complex so I actually put effort to recycle by bringing all my recyclables to my job and throwing it in their recycling dumpster. Nobody seems to mind since I work there. They think I’m a bit odd but oh well

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

@@mushroomdestroyer That's very sad. But that's good that you do the effort to do all the extra work to recycle. Out of curiosity, in which country do you live? In Switzerland you have to sort everything that is recyclable and you can get fines if you don't. Obviously it's hard to enforce it that's why some people don't care.

[@mushroomdestroyer]

I live in the United States, I wish there was more encouragement or even enforcement of recycling here , some cities do it but it’s pretty rare especially in the Midwest

[@XoklahomagirlX]

On petticoats I know me and my local community love the taobao brand aurora and ariel. I’m pretty sure you can get custom sizing. But the standard sizes seem to fit on a lot of different sizes. And I know a pregnant Lolita said it fit her well. And our community founder is a plus size Lolita and it fits her. And I think they’re around like 14 US dollars. And I have one. I only wore it once so far. And it is very comfortable. And it’s hard to tell but I think I’m a similar size as you.

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Amazing! Thank you. I will definitely buy one there!

[@lizzyblood2000]

I highly recommend the classical puppet pettis for the starterpacks! They're so good and they even come in a resealable/reusable bag. Also, some shops have like mystery bags for newyear and they're mostly around 15$. I think Diamond honey and Infanta usually have those. They're really great and I haven't had a bad dress from Diamond honey/Infanta ever so those Bags would be great value! (I think they still have them rn). And for bags I highly recommend mufish! They're great and quite cheap

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you so much for all the tips. I’ll check out these.

[@wannaknit]

A starter pack sounds awesome, so difficult as a new Lolita to know what/how to buy/from whom and especially now with the massive shipping delays

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Definitely! I have bought things for it but I gave not finished figuring out the prices and such. It will still be a while before I finish it.

[@swelldays7970]

this coordinate is so perfect ! (i just started watching lolita youtubers but I've known about lolita fashion but now I'm really paying more attention and i only learned the term coordinate recently I hope I used it correctly !) I just love how everything works off of everything else the earrings are perfect they look like snowballs and it works so well with the little hair clips and I love all the colors aww i love it it's one of my favorites that I've seen ,also this video is incredible such a thoughtful idea for those starting out :D

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you so much! I am glad you liked my coord (short for coordinate). And yes you used it perfectly 💪💖

[@CupcakeKamisama]

Taobao is a world of possibilities and it's way easier to ordder from it than people expect (so many people miss out because they assume that extra steps = more difficult). I use Superbuy and I love them. They also don't use so much tape, although the few orders I've had from them so far have not been quite so large, so maybe they would for a massive box like this?

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

I will try them too next time. Thank you for the recommendation

[@emilymorningstar785]

Superbuy is pretty cheap, however I had some trouble with them getting the correct color shoes from antaina. So be careful with stuff like that.

[@CupcakeKamisama]

@@emilymorningstar785 that sounds more like an issue with the automated translator they use to translate the listings. The only time they got something in a wrong colour for me was my fault (I misread the colours) and I did have an option of returning the item, since they do an inspection, but it was my choice not to. Did you not have the option of returning the item from their warehouse?

[@emilymorningstar785]

@@CupcakeKamisama I tried to but they wouldn't return them. I'm pretty sure it was a translation problem too. I don't think it was on purpose it's just something to keep in mind.

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

@@emilymorningstar785 Good to know. Thank you!

[@marygreenapple]

The lolita starter kit idea sounds great. I don't know if there are cheaper petticoats with the same quality from tabao, but if not, I'd recommend the WunderWelt petticoat. I think it's really affordable and I think quite good. Ahh, a constellation dress 😍

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Than you. I will check them out.

[@zegobou]

Aurora and Ariel on Taobao has great petticoats, but buying from them is confusing, because their pettis look A-line and are labeled as such, but they turn bell-shaped under a dress. I've read somewhere that you could pin the top layer of an A-line petticoat up to create a more cupcake shape, but I've never tried it. If it works, it could work as a starter thing... Or maybe swap the petti for an adjustable hoop skirt and a thin single layer petti?

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

@@zegobou I will buy one for myself and tr it with different dresses and see what I can do with it since most my dresses need a cupcake petti. But thank you so much for pointing that out.

[@quinnrogers9555]

I have that Alice Girl jsk that you weren't sure about, but I have it in the navy colorway. I love it a lot! The navy and lavender color scheme is much more my style, but there are so many nice details in the print. The whole thing has really subtle constellation patterns throughout it and I find the cut to be very flattering. I'm sure someone will want to buy it, especially if they can see the cool details in person.

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

I agree. The details are really nice!

[@LaNeraLuna]

I really like the black ones, this video remember me when i dressed lolita back in the days

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

[@kirstenmei6366]

There are a lot beautiful and gorgeous dresses on Taboo!

[@kirstenmei6366]

But most of them only sells at a certain period of time

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Yes, like a lot of lolita brands, the do releases and preorder or reservation for that. and then they have very little ready stock after that.

[@crystal8160]

I think your starter pack idea is great.itWhen I started in lolita I struggled to find the under pinnings. One thing I did though was i bought 3 different shirts in beige and white with various sleeve styles to make more coords out of each dress. I was going to suggest you could make an additional starter pack with coordinating shirts that change the look of the coord

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Thank you for the idea. I am not sure it would be easy for me to handle. When you go into too many different styles you have to be sure that for collar for example works well with your specific dress. I don’t want to have to carry multiple styles of blouses in multiple colors and size on top of the dresses, shoes,...

are they usually true to size? if im a medium should I take a Large?

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Most of the time they would list the measurements. You can’t trust the sizes (medium, large,...) but they list the centimeters of at least the bust, waist and length. So you should be good. If you are talking about the clothes of course. For the shoes it’s harder to guess. I would usually take a size bigger just to be safe.

Do you have a vague idea of the measurement of the gamer dress?

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Finally I looked it up. Here's what they say: bust 74-105, waist 70-104, length 95. BUT I am 96 and 83. It goes fit but the bust part is way too short and the straps too small if you are busty. So Actually I couldn't wear it. Let alone someone 10cm bigger than me. So it's really a flawed design.
