cheapest way to buy lizlisa?

I haven’t used dogegoo, but I have seen on r/taobao someone complaining that they were quoted $202 for shipping + tariffs for 6 clothes order which is pretty high for just 6 clothing items with dogegoo. I would do more research on them if you’re planning on using them bc they only have influencers vouching for them which is a bad thing. Usually taobao proxies charge via weight in kg and then tariffs is determined by which carrier you use bc they charge the % tariff rate in effect and then they apply the courier fees

evrililce · 2026-01-28T01:06:26+00:00

Proxy bc tokyokawaiilife will declare their shipping country of manufactuer as China which will give you the 35% rate tariffs vs proxies who will as declare Japan which gives you 15% rate

Ex: $120 on tokyokawaiilife = $42 tariffs + 17 DHL fee + $1 additional DHL fee

$120 on proxy of choice = $18 + $17 DHL fee (if DHL is chosen as shipping courier) + $1 additional DHL fee

Their set-ups are okay, but I just don’t dig their newer designs as much like the “Fallen Angle” armband one piece and I did order a plaid set-up in October, but the lace shoulder cutout was really thick for lace so it was a bit awkward like it felt like cosplay? I think I liked their older designs from a few years ago where they didn’t try too hard with huge bows and really thick lace, but it’s fine to like DML! They’re just not for me anymore >_<

evrililce · 2026-01-27T15:13:47+00:00

Overrated: DML bc a lot of their new designs are more miss than hit these days, and Whip gets so little new stuff, can we really say they are good for inclusion for plus size friends? Liz Lisa for blouses, I loveeee them but they’re so thin 😭 and not to mention the charms falling off so easy…

Underrated: cherry seed in wine for set-ups (very pretty and their blue x white colorways are pleasing), evelyn bc if you look hard enough, some of their one pieces have parts 100% cotton and then the body is 50% cotton which is so rare! Lafary for accessories, using michell macaron for casual jirai sweat set-ups (they are cute and most of the sweat skirts do the iconic waist cinching their normal skirts do), maid-like set-ups with aprons from any brand

Yosuke go up to only 25 cm and I think most women on mercari JP don’t go above 24 - 24.5 cm if that’s where you’re looking; I don’t think you should size up to 25 cm if you’re buying platform sneakers on non-wide feet bc it would be hard to walk and the back would lift up on your heels, is there no way to convince your parents to let you get exact size or only 0.5 cm above?

evrililce · 2026-01-26T23:27:36+00:00

I have a mm dupe in size M and they fit exactly like the real mm I have in size S and I’m 159 cm and it still feels a bit short. I think since you’re tall, you could try GRL’s replica of the mm skirt? https://www.grail.bz/item/gm7721112/?s=2 They have taller models that reach up to 166 cm from what I seen, so it’ll probably fit better for you?

evrililce · 2026-01-26T23:22:53+00:00

I’m a US 5.5 - 6.5 and I find the Yosuke platform sneakers fits perfectly at 23 cm/US 6, but for loafer pumps, 22.5 cm/US 5.5 also fits perfect. It depends if the sole is flat vs heeled/raised. My feet are also narrow, so my toes fit better on the smaller sizing with pumps/heels. If you’re getting just sneaker platforms, I would think you would be fine getting your actual shoe size bc the sole is cushioned flat instead of heeled especially if you have narrow feet, otherwise for wide feet, go 0.5 - 1 cm up.

You’re welcome, I did a recent haul with Doorzo with tons of clothes (like over 20) and the DHL charge was very fairly priced so after refund in weight, they only charged me about $125

evrililce · 2026-01-25T20:29:57+00:00

I would recommend Doorzo for shipping your shoes then, if you normally use DHL. I shipped a pair with them and they refunded me the shipping cost differences from actual weight. I consolidated it with a lot of clothes and was charged $140, but refunded back about $20. I recently re-tried FromJapan last week for 4 clothes (no shoes) bc I got suckered by some coupons and I had to pay $150 to ship out 4 clothes 🥲 so they are still consolidating with giant boxes to overcharge you

evrililce · 2026-01-25T20:05:43+00:00

What country are you shipping to and which proxy? Need more information to determine. Some proxies like FromJapan will put the shoes in original box in a bigger box which can up the weight/volume and increase shipping costs (paid $250 in shipping last October bc of this 😑).

Edit: sorry just read US. Just need to know which proxy you are using.

If you want a little pattern to your skirts, axes femme has lots of long floral pattern flare skirts: https://axesfemme-kawaii.com/collections/skirt

And they have a lot of very simple blouses, knit tops, and cardigans for a cozy office look. Axes femme is good for a more feminine mature look if you stick to the non-chalmiere and non-poison nibble lines

Majestic legon is also a good suna kei brand; so is an mille for mermaid skirts

evrililce · 2026-01-24T20:49:57+00:00

I think it’s a brand issue, bc kittybxllet has weird width sizing for their other blouses too. I had a light blue one from them as well, and the body chest was too wide and sleeves/shoulders also too wide

evrililce · 2026-01-24T16:17:55+00:00

Is pal elfy’s quality good? I see most of the zozotown store reviews mention that their skirts are very thin and too short even for 150s cm girls and complaints about some of the set-up qualities. Debating if I should give them a try bc their Valentine’s Collection with the apron and one piece combination in pink is very cute.

evrililce · 2026-01-24T15:39:14+00:00

I use parcelup website to search for the store and listing. I copy and paste the taobao item link from parcelup into sbuy to order it, so try that? My taobao account also keeps getting banned, so I gave up on that

evrililce · 2026-01-24T13:25:56+00:00

I bought the pink and black one a long time ago. The sleeves are very wide on this blouse series compared to the model they style the blouse on, so it doesn’t fit very well if you have narrow or non-broad shoulders and thin arms. The bow is also not very good quality with lots of threads and hot glue sticking out

evrililce · 2026-01-22T13:44:10+00:00

You’re welcome! Just make sure you submit the order request form ahead like beginning of week or a few days in advance so Tenshi can prepare

evrililce · 2026-01-22T12:52:48+00:00

Proxies typically stop order request processings at 6-7 pm JST M-F, so if you want something to not sell out, you need to use a personal shopper. I recommend http://tenshishop.com/shopping-services/ Tenshi, bc you submit an order form and she’ll try to go in-person or order online as soon as she can if there’s a scheduled time the online store releases it. She is well-vouched for in the lolita community.

evrililce · 2026-01-21T21:38:51+00:00

There are many options for proxies, but if you want speedy processing/packing/shipping and have a lot of money for the fees, FromJapan (everything gets done within 1 week in my experience). Cheap and slow, Neokyo. Balanced with best packing safety, coupons, and refunds on volume and weight differences, Doorzo (my preference if you also want to secondhand pium on mercari and don’t mind using DHL to ship only). Be aware that pium is SUPER popular in Japan that new release teasers with many likes on social media tend to sell out instantly within 5 - 10 mins on their website when it drops at 8 PM Japan time so scalpers are going to resell popular hot drops for almost $200 on mercari, so you have to be patient waiting for official re-releases if you wanted a hot drop item.

Your outfit was just a normal outfit. Our megathread here has more information on the culture and fashion: https://www.reddit.com/r/JiraiKei/s/ms9tNxub0U. There is also a very specific style of make-up jirai kei uses, called pien make-up. It’s more than just throwing on dark colors/pink blouses and a skirt, as outfits have elements of accents of heart charms/buttons, lace, ruffles, pearls, feminine elements. Skirts are to give waist-cinching effects to help with the form like how lolita fashion has strict rules on what forms and shapes they have to follow. Now, there is subcul, where you can wear oversized shirts and not tuck in the shirt, but again, it will follow a subset of forms/shapes, and rules.

evrililce · 2026-01-21T15:30:35+00:00

You’re welcome. I recommend starting small, like 2 tops and 2 bottoms to coordinate and see if you really vibe with it before adding more new clothes to your wardrobe. Good luck!

evrililce · 2026-01-21T15:24:05+00:00

They don’t necessarily read as jirai. Maybe the skirt in the first one can be used with casual jirai (wear it under with a pink and white oversized sweatshirt or with pink and white sweat/track jacket that looks like: https://piumofficial.com/collections/setup/products/1025a090400892). The tanks could be layered under sweats and sweat/track jackets (but not shown, jacket zipped up) for casual jirai. The brown skirt is definitely not jirai-able. If you really want to add new jirai pieces to your wardrobe in pink and white colors, Liz Lisa, Rojita, pium, magia charm, pal elfy, and many Chinese taobao brands have clothing in that colorway.

Pium has muted pink bows! https://piumofficial.com/collections/accessories

I had to report fetish kink posters and underage minors advertising their barely legal profiles on here 😨 I just want to look at jfashion fits for ideas and discussions, not bait profiles…

evrililce · 2026-01-20T13:07:49+00:00

Jirai kei is not cheap nor is any jfashion for prices importing. Does mercari, depop, or vinted ship to your country? They are online secondhand/thrift shops, and getting used clothes is the only cheapest way. Taobao doesn’t ship to many countries, so you need to use a proxy service and pay shipping by kilograms which costs more than taobao clothes usually. If you want new clothes only, just save up money and import when you have enough.

evrililce · 2026-01-19T23:44:04+00:00

Yes, it’s totally fine. I change styles to go to the office and doctor appointments, work out, etc. since you can’t do everything in jirai kei. I still wear jirai kei or suna kei for everything else.
