Wonder Story!!

 Dearest friends, affiliates, and otherwise; today I come to you all with a review of Wunderwelt’s service. You see, about five months ago, I spotted a glorious dress on their site, Angelic Pretty’s Wonder Story JSK, and I simply had to own it. The price was good, I had the money, and everything was set... until I realized that I did not have a PayPal account nor a credit card. So off to my mother I went, to whom I pleaded with to allow me to buy the dress and pay her back. However, she would not permit me to buy it until after Christmas (It was November at the time). 

Time passes, and everyday I am checking back on Wunderwelt. December begins soon enough, and suddenly, the dress was gone. I was distraught. I had the money! I had the means! But I did not have the patience... until about a week and half later when the exact same Wonder Story comes up for the exact same price. It had returned! So Christmas Day, after presents are opened and patience is thin, I beg my mother to let me buy the dress. She agreed.

A few days later, Wunderwelt emails me saying that all e-packet and air mail orders will be held until those services reopen. They offered a different shipping service: Yamato. I, being the dumb that I am, didn’t actually realize there was a second shipping option until the end of January (I received the email on the 28th of December)! So the last week of January, I change to ship via Yamato. Bad idea. Now, Wunderwelt is a wonderful service, and I’m thankful that they not only provided a secondary shipping option, but were also very communicative, considerate, and helpful. Yamato, on the other hand, was not communicative, considerate, nor helpful. 

The first time Wunderwelt tried to ship my order, the Yamato staff forgot to provide the correct documents for my package. Then, my package was returned to Wunderwelt because the label and documents had expired. And finally, my package was once again returned to Wunderwelt without explanation. It finally arrived at my house the evening of the 12th of March.

The Timeline:

Dec. 25th - Order is made and payed for

Dec. 28th - Yamato is offered

Jan. 24th - The shipping is changed to Yamato

Feb. 19th - Order is finally shipped

Mar. 1st - Order marked as returned because documents expired

Mar. 4th - Order marked as returned again because it was rejected at the facility

Mar. 11th - I ask about whether my order has been shipped out again

Mar. 12th - Dress arrives


Despite all the issues, I want to thank Wunderwelt for being very helpful, and sending out my order every time without additional cost. The whole situation was frustrating, but at least Wunderwelt was considerate of this, and communicated with me well, with fast replies. So I do recommend Wunderwelt; I’d use it again in a heart beat- just not with Yamato.

Angelic Pretty's 50s Obsession

Image
Angelic Pretty, We need to talk. Alright, I'm sure this needs minimal introduction. Angelic Pretty has recently had a thing for that 50s diner aesthetic- and it came out of nowhere. What build up from past prints did we have that  foretold the Baltimore we're in now? I mean, someone's been sniffing too much Ultra Clutch hairspray, surely. Angelic Pretty, with no warning, released their Milkshake collection, and their Neon Diner is on its way. Here we see the Milkshake OP in pink. Cute, sure. Not lolita. Even as a newcomer to this fashion, the number one thing that defines lolita is the silhouette. Thats the reason petticoats have become so important. And thats the one thing this OP doesn't have. I'm not mad, don't get me wrong, its just. Disappointing? Coming into this fashion, you hear all about how great AP is and whatnot, and this defies everything I've been told. This is the Neon Diner JSK in blue. This is much better, with an actual...

Spreadsheet of Needs

Image
Good Evening Good evening friends, affiliates, and otherwise. I hope your Easter/Passover was good. I've been a tad bit productive today, thus the point of this late post. I made a spreadsheet detailing basic lolita clothing needs, providing at least three items of each including a link to the item and its price. Here you can see I divided my needs into categories: Petticoats; Bloomers; Blouses; Skirts; OPs; and JSKs. I labeled all my links with what the item was, and underneath the price for each link. I think this will be helpful for my building of my collection. Well, thats all I wanted to share.

Hello friends, affiliates, and otherwise. Today's post is going to be a tad bit more serious. I want to talk about the newcomers to the fashion, coming from a newcomer's perspective. In the past two weeks, I have made mistake after mistake, whether I was being a little too immature or annoying on discord, or I posted a question on Rufflechat and wasn't prepared for the comments, or I let my limited knowledge of the fashion disguise itself as more info than it was. I have let myself get cocky and I shouldn't have. If you are in the same boat as me, where you are both young in age and experience, then I hope to be able to help you as well as myself by writing this. My number one piece of advice is don't post or write anything you aren't able to handle harsh comments on. Just because Closet of Frills says constructive  criticism doesn't mean everyone on there knows how to be constructive. You will maybe write a comment and get beat down on...
