Taobao Hauls :Combined Masterpost of 6 Taobao hauls (Part 2 Clothing: Dresses )

I'm back with the second part of my many Taobao hauls, yay ^-^

Which is~ clothing :D Or dresses, to be specific.
Also an apology in advance if the photos of me wearing the dresses are super awkward. I still have a cold and didn't feel too well^^'

White/Orange Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17393158949

Price: 69 Yuan ( 8,60€)

The colour is a lot darker and more orange than in the item photo. It was supposed to be peachy, but turns out it's actually orange.

You need to wear a sleeveless top underneath the dress, because the top part is kind of see through.

It's also quite thick, so definitely not something I would wear in spring. 

Black and White Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36509371588 

Price: 29 Yuan (3,62€)

So I got this and a few other items from a seller named 雅倩潮流坊 时尚低价优质批发 

and they sell pretty cheap clothing. Since their clothing is really really cheap, obviously the quality won't be great.

There will be loose threads, and the material isn't the softest and sometimes itches a bit.

Collar at the back of the dress

So when you order from them, keep in mind that it's not going to be of super good quality. It's fine for wearing it occasionally though, even after washing it a few times this dress is still wearable, which is a great deal for that price ^^

However~

all of the clothing from that seller is really short.

Check the measurements before you order, and prepare to always wear short pants underneath their dresses. I'm only 1,63cm and none of the dresses I ordered from them is long enough to be worn without saftey pants underneath.

Too short ;-;
Normally I would wear this with black tights underneath, but I was too lazy to change my tights for every dress. Sorry~ ^^'

Lace dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36175733576 

Price: 21 Yuan (2,62€)

Same problem like the one above: it's really short, I don't feel comfortable wearing it.

Also, the sleeves are super tight, as well as the chest area. And to be honest, I'm quite flat, so if you have even smallest amount of curves this probably won't fit since it's already super tight on me in the chest area ;-;

Wine Red See-through Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36243843768

Price: 16 Yuan (2€)

This one is kind of~ more comfortable than the lace dress, but it's also shorter. 

So short that I keep pulling it down...which leads to the chest area being exposed, so I can only wear it with a sleeveless top underneath and pants.

The sleeves are a bit short on me as well.

Yellow Flower Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=38423977553

Price: 120 Yuan (15,50€), reduced price 60 Yuan (8,25€)

I'm absolutely in love with this dress. It looks exactly like the stock photos, and the material is nice and light and simply perfect for summer.

The area under the collar is see through and looks really pretty.

This dress also has a zipper on its back, which makes it fit really well.

The zipper is really tiny but seems sturdy enough to not break easily ^^

Since the dress looks so dolly and cute, I also used it for this years halloween costume~

Broken Doll :D

Mint Sailor Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=15120395804

Price: 276 Yuan (34,50€), reduced price 99Yuan (~12€)

As you can see, this dress is quite expensive if you compare it with the other items I ordered from Taobao. If you manage to buy it while it's on sale (and it always has been on sale whenever I checked it) you're getting great quality for a very affordable price.

I ordered it in Size M, and again, it gets a bit tight around the chest area. It's still comfortable but I'm pretty sure it would not fit me if I had ordered it in Size S.

Everything is sewn carefully, there are no loose threads and the buttons on the front of the dress probably won't fall off any time soon.

The sailor collar can be opened in the front, and underneath it has another button. You can tie the collar however you want, but it can't be taken off entirely because it's sewn into the back.

Cherry Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14285129824

Price: 159 Yuan (19,80€)

So~ I think this was one of the biggest disappointments I ordered.

First of all, it's one of the few more "expensive" items I got....but the material is super thin and see through, I need to wear a top and pants underneath it or you'll see everything through it.

The print looks pretty though..

Second, there were dirty spots on it that I can't get cleaned no matter how hard I try.

And then last (part of that is my own fault though): 

I thought I was going to get this

Photo taken from the item page on Taobao

The first 10 or so stock photos all looked like this. Which lead to me thinking the blouse underneath the dress also belonged to the dress, I thought it was a one-piece.

Turns out, the item is just the strap dress...

I don't like wearing strap dresses. I don't like having bare shoulders, unless it's a long sleeved-shirt with cut-out shoulders. Strap dresses just don't look good on me.

I guess not reading the item description (with a little help from Google translate) properly is my own fault, but all in all, I was still very disappointed with spending 20€ on this. T^T

I'm still trying to make the dress work somehow, since I can't really sell it with those dirty spots, but i don't like having spent money and not wearing something.

I mostly wear it with a shirt underneath it, which looks a tiny bit better in my opinion.

Cut-Out Shoulders Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=21977019038

Price: 29 Yuan (3,60€)

Talking about bare shoulders....This is the kind of dress that I like wearing.

It's sporty, looks kind of hip-hop-ish and even though it shows my shoulders, I still feel "covered" enough.  And I really like how it's shorter in the front and longer in the back. More dresses should be like this.

The material is also quite soft and comfortable wearing. I'm definitely taking this with me when I'm going back to Hongdae next summer, since this type of clothing is perfect for clubbing in my opinion.

It's still pretty short so I'd recommend wearing short pants underneath this one as well.

And last but not least~

Dark Blue Polka Dot Dress

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37374857869

Price: 42 Yuan (~ 5€)

This is easily my favourite dress by now. The material is light, super soft, but not see-through.

The bottom of the dress is a bit puffy and super flowy, I love wearing this in summer.

It also comes with a belt, so you can either make it fit more tightly around the waist or keep it loose.

The bottom of the dress has two layers as well, with lace looking out underneath the polka dot part.

I can only recommend this dress, especially since it was really cheap too.

In case you'd like to know, I used Taobaoring for this haul.

I already wrote a more detailed review of their service here

So that's it for today ^^ 

Did you like the items? Which ones would you like to buy? :D

Please tell me your opinion in the comments below, I love reading your comments ^-^

Taobao Hauls: Combined Masterpost of 6 big hauls with Taobaoring~ (Part 1: Accessories and Shoes)

Hey everyone~

Finally I've gotten around to taking photos and uploading them ^^ 

Over the course of last year, I ordered quite a lot from Taobao so I thought it's time to review the items that I bought.
Hopefully, some of you find this post helpful :D

I'll split the haul up into three posts, two for clothing and one for everything else. So stay tuned for the next post featuring all dresses that I got from Taobao (^-^)v

Handmade Bee earrings

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9855233798 

Price: 2,2 Yuan (0,26€)

They're so adorable oh my god!! :D

You can see that they're handmade as one of them has a finger print on it ^-^

They're good quality, and the shop I ordered them from has many more cute designs (like a shark that   "bites" your earlobe) and I'm definitely ordering more of those next time.

I also bought a bunch of jewelry from one shop, which is this one:

http://shop64949215.tw.taobao.com

They offer the cheapest jewelry i have ever seen, and there's a great variety too :D

Flower rings

http://tw.taobao.com/item/9714734754.htm?fromSite=main

Price: 1 Yuan each ( 0,12€)

I love those, and I wear them very often. They're pretty big.

Music notes ring

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16056291157 

Price: 0,96 Yuan (0,11€)

Mine is the silber one, it's also available in gold too.

Sparkling Stars ring

http://tw.taobao.com/item/9601074518.htm?fromSite=main 

Price: 0,80 Yuan (0,10€)

As you can see, there are 3 stars on it. One of the sparkling parts fell off, unfortunately T^T

This ring is smaller than the others, it's the only one that fits onto my ringfinger.

Bear rings

(sold out)

Price: 1 Yuan, I guess (0,12€)

I ordered one of those before, but I lost it so I ordered them again. They're super cute, but they're not fully closed, they're open at one side which is why you gotta be careful not to lose them, if they fit you as loosely as me.

Leaves ring

http://tw.taobao.com/item/9601503704.htm?fromSite=main

Price: 1 Yuan (0,12€)

Camera ring

http://tw.taobao.com/item/9601457576.htm?fromSite=main

Price: 0,50 Yuan (0,06€)

As you should know by now, I really like taking photos, so having a ring with a camera on it is perfect for me ^-^

I got the black one, they are also available in pink and white.

Bat ring

(not available anymore)

Price: around 1 Yuan too

I love this one :D it's actually two rings combined, so that it fits nicely even with the big~ bat on it.

Claw rings

http://tw.taobao.com/item/17015912078.htm?fromSite=main 

Price: 0,88Yuan (ca 0,10€)

I ordered one of them before but it broke, so I decided to order a few more to be safe this time :D

I ordered them in all available colours, gold, dark gold and bronze. Just a quick reminder, they're not that sturdy, be careful while handling them or they break in half.

Interestingly, the different colours came in different sizes.

The bronze one, which fits the best.

The dark gold one, which is a bit too big.

And the golden ones, which are way too big and quickly fall off.

Now, from a different shop:

Cracker Hairties

http://tw.taobao.com/item/20114757559.htm?fromSite=main

Price: 1,50 Yuan (0,18 €)

I ordered the fish one, the normal round one, and a doraemon one which I didn't manage to find for the photo. Those look pretty cool, like you're having crackers in your hair. The ties itself are a bit loose and big, I need to wrap them around my hair four times if I want a secure ponytail.

Shingeki no Kyojin Bracelet

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=35306848419

Price: 12 Yuan (1,50€)

The bracelet is very sturdy, and not that comfortable to wear unfortunately. I don't like it that much..

Shingeki no Kyojin watch

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=21525675498

Price: 25Yuan (3,12€)

I really, really like this watch. The fake leather is very soft and it fits perfectly.

Unfortunately, after a few weeks, the glass screen cracked, and I still have no idea how that happened. I still use it though, and the batteries that were already included last quite a while (6 months at least).

Shingeki no Kyojin necklace

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20949199113

Price: 12 Yuan (1,50€)

This necklace is pretty cool, and seems not to rust easily. 

Exo necklaces

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20373952214 

Price: 8 Yuan (1€)

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20373952214 

Price: 8 Yuan (1€)

It normally comes with the necklace itself, I just lost it somehow. Oops ^^'

Anyways, the necklaces are good for that price, they just seem to rust kind of quickly.

Exo rings

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16162801666

Price: 5,50 ( ca 0,60€)

Those rust quickly as well, but they were super cheap so I don't mind. The rings are adjustable, though even with the smallest size they still only fit onto my middle finger.

Exo jelly bracelets

http://tw.taobao.com/item/17492619126.htm?fromSite=main 

Price: 1 Yuan (0,12€)

Tao bracelet: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=15518010222

Price: 2,80 Yuan (ca 0,25€)

Exo headphones

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20787795335 

Price: 30 Yuan ( ca  3,80€)

Those were good quality, the music quality was good too. However, they only lasted me about 2 months of everyday usage before one of the sides was not able to play music anymore. And since they're quite big, they'll add up to the shipping costs a lot, so keep that in mind.

Comme des Fuckdown Beanie

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18837990693

Price: 11 Yuan ( 1,30€)

The quality is alright, it itches a bit though.

Exo Cap

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=19034630125

Price: 16 Yuan (2€)

It's a bit big for me but otherwise it's fine.

Samsung Glaxy S2 Whale Case

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37160623420

Price: 9,9 Yuan ( around 1,20€)

They have plenty of other designs too,

I ordered this because my old S2 Case was slowly falling apart. Unfortunately my cellphone broke before I received this case, so I never tried it out. I have the Galaxy S3 now, and can't wait to order cute cases for it ^^

The whale case is still cute and seems sturdy enough,

Light Blue sneakers with hidden wedges

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36421498984

Price: 69 Yuan ( 8,60€)

Those shoes are awesome. They're super cheap, and the quality is good too. The only thing that bothers me is that they're quite small for me, even though I ordered them in my size. You might want to go a size up if you order these too.

I love the detail on them, with the small skull on the zipper.

And alone the fact that they have a zipper on the side is great too, you only have to tie them properly once and then afterwards you can simply use the zipper.

And~ those shoes actually have wedge heels in them, can you see it?

When I ordered them I thought they were just normal sneakers, turns out they have a about 5cm high wedge heel inside them.

That's where the wedge part is.

White Wings Sneakers

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20300132707

Price: 58 Yuan ( 7,25€)

We all know on which brand this design was based on, right? :P

Anyways, those are great. They're study but yet comfortable enough for me to dance in them, and the wings look awesome.

the logo of the "brand"

For some reason though you can also tie them at the back

I have never seen this before, but I guess this allows you to fit them perfectly onto your feet.

In case you'd like to know, I used Taobaoring for this haul.

I already wrote a more detailed review of their service here

So that's it for today ^^ 

Did you like the items? Which ones would you like to buy? :D

If you ordered from Taobao before, tell me what you got, I'm curious.
