This shop has a more girly, cottagecore vibes. They mostly sell cute skirts and shirts💖 The pieces range from sweet to chic 😳

This is officewear for older women 🥹

They mostly sell dresses and I LOVE one sleevless dress (I forgot the name of it). The quality is good 👍

However, the price might be a bit steep.

Raise your hands if you like lolita fashion/ cosplay 🥹👍

This shop also sells dresses, but they are a bit more cottagecore and the design is more intricate imo.

and the price is pretty normal, ard 30 dollars ish?

They have long and short dresses 👗

If you've read this far, I've some bonus tips for you if you wanna buy clothes from taobao!

😳💗

Be specific in searching what to buy

Don't just search tshirts and expect to get what you want, cos taobao has A LOT of stuff hahaha

Think about the style that you want in mind. For example, if you want something that is sexy and cute, you can search for “纯欲上衣” (chun yu shang yi) and the searches will be better tailored to what you want

Check the 销量 (number of sales) and ratings of the clothes that you're buying

Unless the shop is one that you trust, don't buy clothes that has had 0 sales. Cos there might be a reason that they have 0 sales (poor quality, looks nothing like the pic etc). Also, check the question and answer section of the post. Some clothes have good ratings and have many nice reviews. But they might be bought. However, if you look at the question and answer section, you'll be able to see if a clothing's color washes off or if it's too translucent just by asking questions. Real people who have bought them will reply to you 🥹👍

When looking at pics of models, rmb to ignore their faces and make sure that the pics provide the outfits' front and back are clearly shown. Preferably, the model should be standing up instead of sitting down.

I know they look cute on the model, but sometimes certain poses are made to hide the defects of outfits. A crazy weird outfit may look good on a model with a full face of makeup, but may not look good on us common folks.

Check the clothes before you wear them for needles and pins stuck in the seams.

Okay I never had this issue with the four shops I mentioned here but my friend accidentally pricked her finger on a hidden needle of a clothing she bought online 😳 Imagine if she wore them and the needle poked her eye or sumn wtf! So rmb to pat the clothes down before you wear them (touch the seams)

Sending the clothes to a collection point is cheaper than sending it to your house.

If you wanna save money, you can send the clothes to a collection point near your house instead of sending them directly to your house at a lower fee 🥹💗 I always collect my stuff at the blue lockers hehe

That's all peeps!
