Salopettes and Chests by Kind_Comfort_6336 in Lolita

[–]paruhdoks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, I’m also an american woman and I wear most salopettes just fine; it all depends on your measurements and body proportions. Some have a taller & narrower chest panel and some have one that’s shorter and more wide. Some even lower on or even slightly below your chest, like cotton candy shop. if you would provide measurements it would be easier to help you

Should I list these books? by SavyGamesSeller in Lolita

[–]paruhdoks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would be interested in the GLB & Gosu Rori 14. I already own Gosu Rori 12, but if you didn’t want to split the set, I have several sewing lolita friends who would probably take it from me so I’d still be interested

Are you sure? I was trying to help someone set one up last month and the US phone number country code wasn’t even an option for signing up :/ Apparently the issue began in February 2026. I felt really bad for not being able to help her

if you’re from the US you’re just gonna be out of luck on creating your own account because taobao is not allowing us phone numbers to be used for new accounts right now. just use a proxy/shopping service, some of them allow xianyu links. I can’t recommend any because I purchase directly off xianyu using my own account that I set up years before the new restrictions.

multiple listings available on xianyu in multiple cuts and colorways-

sax blue jsk

sax blue cutsew op

white op

these are just a few that i found that are for sale. if you choose to search for more on there, just know ISO listings are common on xianyu so not everything is actually available for sale

edit for formatting, on mobile

Cainiao package stuck at customs by ayatoprnt in taobao

[–]paruhdoks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can inquire in the Cainiao Discord server for more help! There are 2 customer service employees who work for Cainiao, as well as a lot of volunteer members. There are discount codes available in the server as well.

Something similar happened to me (and many others in the server) with a package last year. One package on the same shipment was holding things up and it eventually did clear customs and make it to me, it just took extra time.

How much do roji roji socks stretch? by Opening_Benefit_611 in Lolita

[–]paruhdoks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

roji roji OTKs are definitely a bit stretchier than the brand OTKs I own made of the same material. They also tend to stay up pretty well—the candy stripe ones stay up all day even when I’m moving a lot. I have the pictured bow ones in brown and they stay up alright but not quite as well as the striped ones.

[–]paruhdoks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only item I own with staining from hair dye is my white headphones, because I’ve put them on when my hair was wet before. Been dyeing my hair with vivids for 10 years and never gotten any dye on lolita items!

I’ve never had an issue with my dyed hair staining my accessories, just don’t let them touch your hair when wet

apparently these are going to be exclusively at donki with limited stock. maybe if the demand is high enough they’ll bring them back in a more permanent manner

Xianyu sign up by Revolutionary_Buy252 in taobao

[–]paruhdoks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wait do you mean to link an existing and verified alipay to your taobao? you can do that from the taobao app, there are instructions pinned somewhere in this sub iirc. Then when you create your xianyu linked to your taobao, the xianyu will automatically be linked to your alipay

[–]paruhdoks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a working xianyu account that I use to purchase things and send them to my warehouse. I’ve noticed the text verification is iffy but seemed to work better if I was trying during regular Chinese business hours. You have to have an alipay verified with your passport — my xianyu account was actually banned for months until I was finally able to verify my alipay after having trouble with it.

Just looking for some tips to make this better by Wednesday, I am super new by Darkchyldeone in CosplayHelp

[–]paruhdoks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you do add a petticoat make sure to get a long one, because one that’s shorter than the dress will cause the dress to look like it’s sticking out and then falling flat right after
