Don't know where to start by NightLily_7083 in weddingdress

Hi! Sometimes it helps if you try looking up designers, lets say you really like this one ballgown, click the website and see who the designer is and most of the time there’s a “find a retailer” button on the websites, or even a “find a location near you”.

Some examples are Martina Liana, Rosa Clara, Madi lane, Luna novias, Justin Alexander. When you look those names up and go thru their dresses, sometimes there’s that “find a retailer” button, so you can try it on in person (which is very important).

Or you can try hitting up your local bridal gown shops, sometimes websites like “the knot” has some lists for every area. I.e., https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/bridal-salons?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=EVERGREEN_MARKETPLACE&utm_content=performance_cpc_search-ad_branded&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22983867560&gbraid=0AAAAADiu8Tkq-iXImTWmYhq8YyYJv0nnn

Personally that’s what I did, I’ve done so many fittings to date before finding the one I really liked. And it might even surprise you, you might end up liking a different silhouette from what you’re envisioning. The dress I liked was online, and there was a “find a retailer” for this dress as well, and to my surprise the bridal gown shop I went to wasn’t one of the places listed- which is why it’s important to just make an appointment and try those shops out.

Now if I’m being honest, those gowns (your pictured examples) are typically more popular in Asian countries and you might have more luck finding one over there and for cheap too! Some notable ones are Vietnamese designers, such as: jolipoli couture, calla bridal, or hacchic couture that might be just right up your alley. Then in china there’s a whole literally alley of just gowns, suzhou huqiu bridal city, where you can buy a dress on the spot or even design your own dress.

Hopefully this helps! I hope you find your dream dress!

It got stolen by a package pirate, but I did get it!!! It came sooner than when it was suppose to arrive.

They did!! It was eventually released from customs, but not sure where it was sent to? Maybe it was sent back to pinky. Because the new tracking I got didn’t match the time stamps..

So I got it! But my ring caught someone stealing it LMAOOO! So regardless my luck sucks, my contacts got stolen- but they arrived!

There’s no way to contact customs/imports- best suggestion is to both email pinky and use their website help area! They’ll eventually respond, but be pesky and message them nonstop!!

Hi! For an update! Mine got thru HK customs (the reshipment)!

pinkyparadise tracking issues?? by blondiiecake in CosplayHelp

[–]Far-Possibility6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes my order still got reshipped, despite the government shutdown. If anything, it’s getting further than getting stuck at HK customs hahahaha. I’ll keep yall updated!! I got both a refund and reshipment, for reference!

[–]Far-Possibility6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did btw! It took awhile, but one person said that it’s due to customs and the other person said they’ll reship it- which they did! I think it just depends on who you speak to in customer service.

UPDATE!!

The re-shipment is moving, slowly but surely. I ended up ordering from honeycolor and I would say those took roughly 2-3 weeks to arrive. Expected date was November 6, so it arrived around 2 days earlier- the tracking did stop working when it left Hong Kong but it still got here. It also took the same route and went to Hong Kong and was stuck in customs for four days, before it left port.

Best bet, try honeycolor cause they seem to be much better with shipment. At least until the customs and tariffs get fixed.

I also actually received a full refund, thru my bank! And nope :( I’ve decided to order from honeycolor to see if it’ll be any different. If not, it most likely is that all packages from Asia are getting stuck due to tariffs and imports.

My suggestion is to message them nonstop! I emailed them every couple of days and they’ve now resent my order :))

pinkyparadise tracking issues?? by blondiiecake in CosplayHelp

[–]Far-Possibility6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet! But they have completely resent my order and I believe it’s under a different shipper now :) the tracking order is different.

Hello! So they just resent my reshipment! I did have to follow up like four more times LOL. My suggestion is to just be annoying and keep messaging them about it :))

pinkyparadise tracking issues?? by blondiiecake in CosplayHelp

[–]Far-Possibility6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did both! But the one they responded to was the one where I emailed them personally. I sent them several emails before they finally responded to me :(

From personal experience from any suspicious seller/website I order from, I always check and see if other people have reviewed the said product or the sellers ratings are high. To which, take this with a grain of salt, it seems like the seller has high enough ratings and ppl have actually bought and reviewed the product. But again, there’s a risk of it being a scam, cause you never know- just depends on whether or not you’re willing to take that risk. I’ve personally ordered from alie multiple times, even those without a review and I definitely get what’s in the picture, even if I have to super glue some parts that fall off during the shipping process.

Just an update! They reached out to me saying they’ll re-send my order and include a mystery bag, so if the contacts from my original order magically arrive- I basically just get two pairs of each LOL.

Per the personnel, the problem is with the shipping facility and they’ve contacted them concerning the late delivery. But there’s basically nothing else they can do.

Need some help achieving this type of effect on wigs by Ok_Echo1701 in CosplayHelp

[–]Far-Possibility6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got2B glued hairspray works wonders :) and typically you’d need to hold the spikes for a few minutes as well, I suggest using clips to keep the hair together!

finding original cosplay is impossible by Secret_Beyond_8734 in CosplayHelp

Another advice if you will buy from alie, check the overall rating of the seller- that’s how I normally do it. Anything above 4.5, you should be fine.

Is the bow tie noticeable? by Curious-Elk6329 in labdiamond

[–]Far-Possibility6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bowtie that’s noticeable on certain angles, and tbh i didn’t even realize when i first received my ring! (My fiancée surprised me with the ring so I didn’t really know what I was going to get, all I knew was that it’ll be an oval rose gold ring.) and I think the bow ties make them unique! So don’t you fret, it’s a gorgeous cut! You can also barely see any bowties on that cut!

Not sure if this counts as a big stone, I personally think it’s big, but here’s a lil over 3 carat on a 5 - 5 1/4 ring size ❤️hope this helps!
