Package Time: Angelic Pretty Dreamy Chick


Dreamy Chick

Upon my return from Bali, I was happy to see that my package I had ordered via Chibi-Tenshi has arrived! I had asked Chibi to try to win a auction before I left (which was successful) and she was able to ship the package before I got back with it arriving one day out of me getting home! So as always, 100% recommend this SS! --> Tenshishop

 Lets start!


I chose ems for the safest route to me and from the online tracking it got into Australia from Japan within 5 days which was super quick! It cost about $15aud.




Chibi always sends a little note with her service which is really sweet and a lovely touch too. Also, she chose a paper design with lil' birdies image



And here my little chick! 
100% happy with this purchase and can't wait to pair it with my Happy Garden jsk.
 I would 100% recommend using Chibi's service service since I have had no issues with any of my packages that I'd ever ordered from Japan and I've been using her service for about 2 years now :)

Package time : Dream infants piece + mini meet.


I finally got a skirt/salopette that I've been wanting to grab for about 2 years! So I couldn't believe my luck when someone in my comm offered up the print in the exact colorway and cut I was after so beyond happy.


I was after the Infanta print Magic Party in black salo version.


*with head bow.

I scooped up the apron skirt and head bow for about half of that of retail price and couldn't be more happier then to finally have it.



As normal shipping within Australia takes on average 3-5 days depending on where the package has been sent and how motivated your postman is. Luckily it only took 4 days for me <3


The seller was awesome enough to package the set into a bag with note which is always a lovely touch to things when purchasing goods. 



I got the M-L size and was worried that the apron skirt wasn't going to fit since the measurement given fit a 75cm waist but there was a lot of elastic in the back of the waist band to accommodate my large waist and as for length it just stopped above my knees (I'm 165cm tall).

I wore this gem to a casual high tea in which I wanted to try a different style from my normal sweet wear plus it was winter so more layers and darker colours help insulate the warmth.


I had a great time at the mini high tea but I had a feeling that the skirt was ridding up a lot so will have to fix it in future. I didn't get a lot of photo's but if I do find some with me in them I'll make sure to come and post them up :D I'm really happy with this apron skirt and how my coord came out. I would 100% be wearing it out a lot! <3

Package time : Angelic Pretty Milky Berry OP



This year I had decided to spend less money on dresses to try to save up for my trip next year but once I saw this lil' gem up on Lacemarket in aud within Australia I really needed to snap it up. I was particular about the colorway in this print and since I hadn't found this colorway up for auctions or sale that often that wasn't going for $300 usd I was lucky to find.

When I spotted this print up and for aud I instantly messaged the seller instantly and the seller was happy to payment plan the dress for 2 weeks for me :)
  


It took about 12 days to arrive after full payment and the wait was a pain since it normally only should take 5 at most =-= Trust ol' Auspost for parcel delays. The seller also forgot to give me the tracking too but she kept in contact with me throughout the transaction via LM messages and it did eventually show up so I wasn't too crazy about the wait.


I purchase Milky Berry OP in black :) I really was hoping for the white or black version but since the white one doesn't come up often and I'm worried about AP's red bleeding I went with the black one.

I had previously bought the mint replica but again, even though it was a well made replica I found that there was so much amiss with the replica that bugged me like the print size on the replica and the wrong colour. The real one's print size are bigger and are more vibrant which I preferred over the replica.

The dress itself wasn't in super great condition and had some water marks on it which were removable. The black fabric did seem a bit faded to me but not too much and the cat hair was scattered on the dress. The stains were removable and the cat hair were okay but the fading was a disappointment. The listing hadn't mentioned any of these flaws and was classified as "good condition" and "feeling of wear". I had questioned the seller about the stains and she said that they probably make-up residue and that she had put it in the wash ;-; I always hand wash so that was probably why the dress looked faded when I got it.  Always hand wash your brank kids.

Personally, I find that it's a hit and miss with 'western' sales and used dresses compare to that  buying from japan auction. I've bought from japan via auctions before and they barely had any issues normally.

Last but not least~ some detail up close shots of the print. Since the dress has full back shirring it would be great for plus-size lolita's like myself and fits a 14-16 Australian size :)

Package time : Angelic Pretty Sweet Girl Room


~Sweet Girl's Room~

I finally got this dress after waiting what felt like an eternity it! Finally we are together at last, slightly worn and used but never the less mine forever *-* Angelic Pretty Sweet Girl Room OP in glorious ivory!

Angelic Pretty Sweet Girl Room OP.

Jumping onto the sack dress brand wagon I couldn't help myself go after this gem when I found it pop up on auctions at a steal. I wanted this so much even though it was already worn and used. At the time Angelic Pretty had the dress up for sale on their website but I was still hesitant to order online since I hadn't a clue what to do so when with Tenshi-Shop instead to try to win the auction.

It wasn't till after winning the auction + fee's shipping etc that I realised that it would have been better and CHEAPER to have bought it directly from the site instead >-> mistake learned. but never the less I was happy to have this dress.

The package was so light an came within about 2 weeks~ish via Airmail to Australia,



oh, also grabbed a bracelet too.

The dress was packaged in a paper bag to  protect it which makes me more then happy since some seller/SS sometimes ignore this factor.



I love it so much and the print is so unique and couldn't not love it. Out of all the new prints in the year I really liked this one as non of the other's caught my eye quiet as much as Sweet Girls room. I would love to have the jsk in the same colour way or the skirt in maybe pink but when I'm actually balling with money and I can splash out I think I can console my self with my potato sack dress <3
