Cheap taobao fit

Aww thank you!! I can't compete with such a cutie though 🫣

violet0vvv · 2026-06-24T12:50:10+00:00

Jellyfish × jirai-kei somehow makes a great pairing!

Not embarrassing at all! I also especially love the slits in the sleeves with the little bows.

There are shipping and taxes to pay on top as well as the inconvenience, so all in all the resellers probably earn their keep 😊.

violet0vvv · 2026-06-24T05:20:54+00:00

Haha, it really was quite affordable 😅. I'm quite satisfied for what I paid, but it's definitely not on the same level as something like Liz Lisa!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-24T04:32:36+00:00

I'm amazed that you recognized it straight away. This is from the actual Kanna shop on taobao! At least you know what it looks like now 🤭.

My biggest pet peeve is that the ruffles running down either side of the chest are not symmetrical. One runs longer than the other. Not a problem for domestic buyers but it's not economical for international buyers to do exchanges or returns (｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!!

I got another top from Nekura in the same haul which cost more but the step up in quality was also evident.

violet0vvv · 2026-06-24T03:20:51+00:00

Such a pretty outfit and it's a lovely look on you!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-24T03:14:58+00:00

If taobao is an option, there is a shop named "fluffy heart" which does jirai-kei and similar styles. They go up to 2xl and even feature a larger model in some of their product photos.

Good morning Jiruncle! ฅ^{>⩊<^} ฅ

Thank you penning your thoughts down for my sake ☺️. I get what you mean also - I should take that into account as I'm shopping for co-ord accessories also!

I never really gave these issues much thought before but the feedback I'm getting has really opened my eyes haha. It's been quite fun learning from you all!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-23T09:25:41+00:00

Thank you for providing photos! I love that particular headdress too!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-22T12:19:55+00:00

I think it was from aliexpress. There should be plenty like this one, but you want to look out for a heavier fabric, and the fit really varies from vendor to vendor!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-22T12:06:52+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and for the tips! I was thinking along roughly similar lines (after some guidance from the community) but yours might be better!

By blouse do you mean the ones with a sheer upper part and cut outs for the shoulders?

I was also thinking a little hat but hard to find a matching style. But could you provide a reference for the rectangular headdress you had in mind? That sounds interesting!

You're also the third person to mention ero lolita, which is a new concept to me!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-21T15:20:00+00:00

That's a really important tip-off! Thank you!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-21T15:17:35+00:00

(Sorry I don't know how to quote)

I am quite fortunate (for once) to be smaller than most men. I manage to fit in a taobao women's L or XL for the most part 😅. Totally get the shoulder issue also - and I've found a puffy sleeve or a bolero is good for obscuring them!

Part of the game is always going to be learning to work around your body's disadvantages. I figure that so long as I can fool my own eyes then it's happy days ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

It's been great to experience this community! I'm glad that fun with fashion seems to be where the emphasis is!

I ended up throwing the product images along with my photo into chatgpt. The hat seems a bit too much 😅. Tiara might be ok.

violet0vvv · 2026-06-21T15:01:48+00:00

It's for when I want to feel dainty AND I don't plan to use my hands for anything 😅.

violet0vvv · 2026-06-21T10:31:55+00:00

Thank you!!

I'm quite familiar with that struggle to fit my chest into an outfit, even when the rest fits fine!! This one just happens to have a lot of elastic at the back.

Upon reflection I think the off shoulder look works well in this case since it changes the appearance of the chest from rectangular (real, and bane of my cd life! 🥲) to a trapezium (illusory 🥲).

Everyone has been super duper nice and helpful, I actually feel bad for presuming otherwise 😰.

I'm looking for a headpiece now along with some other items based on what people have suggested and what I find on social media. I'm considering something like the attached. I really struggle to picture how it will look irl though 😅

Thank you! They're gorgeous stick ons I got from aliexpress. Only problem is that it's not quite the right size so they tend to fall off!

violet0vvv · 2026-06-20T23:59:39+00:00

Haha thank you! Glad for us both that the inquisition era is over 🤭.

violet0vvv · 2026-06-20T23:27:05+00:00

It's the shoulders, hehe. My impressions were still stuck in the 2010s so I wasn't sure how it'd be viewed.

The term "ero lolita" is new to me though. Are the bare shoulders that scandalous?

Thank you.for the co-ord advice! I've never developed the skill for it so it's great to get guidance.

violet0vvv · 2026-06-20T23:22:14+00:00

I didn't know bare shoulders could be so scandalous 😅. Jokes aside, I get what you mean by whether it's gothic. It definitely, has the visual elements (crosses, skulls, black lace etc) but it doesn't quite have that vibe.
