I've been an admirer of the EGL fashion for a while now. ^^ But I have a lot of questions. oo;

I just wanted to make sure the things I plan to get go together. I'm getting:

New Pretty Dress: http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2089
Ribbon Laced Headdress: http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2034
Pannier: http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1977
Laced white high socks: http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2102
Ribbon Shoes Black: http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=3463
Gothic Wristbands: http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2195

I was wondering if I get New Gathered Lace Two-Piece Dress [http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2446], would it still work with my other items? Should I get the Ruffle Knitted Shoes White [http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info.php?cPath=43_78_158&products_id=3468] instead of the Ribbon shoes?

And can anyone tell me if Cosmates is a good place to shop from? Does it take long to ship?

Thank you to anybody who can help me! ^^~

I'd recommend cosmates. When I ordered from there, the manager was very nice, and my order took 1-2 weeks to ship. Sometimes some things aren't in stock, but you can get a refund for those.

Hey, I had a question for Cosmates too... How much does shipping cost?

[mouseichigo.livejournal.com]

For Cosmates, I mean... Thx!

Ended up around $30 shipping for two outfits, for me.

[missnightshade.livejournal.com]

it varies on how much the stuff you order costs

Thank you so much! ^^

Get white shoes, and as for the other items, the secon dress won't look good unless everything is white. So you need to buy some more accesories, but only the ones that have black in them.

That don't have black, right? oo;

And thank you!~

1. You get a headdress with the first link you posted. So I suggest you save your money.
2. I've heard good things about the pettis from Cosmates.
3. I've heard bad things about their socks. THEY ARENT REALLY SOCKS. They are stockings and are very thin. Don't get them. Not worth the money. Buy from somewhere else.
4. I don't recommend the wristbands from Cosmates because, from what I've seen, the quality is not so good and they are constantly associated with "cosplay" (which I don't necessarily agree with but still).
5. If you get the "New Gathered Lace Two-Piece Dress," it won't work with your shoes or headdress or anything with black really. Yes, you see people in the Bibles with black accessories and a white outfit but it still doesn't look good on most people. So you should consider changing acessories.
6. Also, I like the "Ribbon Shoes" over the "Ruffle Knitted Shoes" regardless of color. They are more simple and go with more things. If you want something that laces up, you shold get Doubler Decker (or something like it) because the lacing up the leg is thicker (ribbon I think) and more flattering (among other pluses).

Ahh, it does? @.@;;

Now I have a problen. u.u I really want the Gathered Lace dress, but then the ribbon shoes, which I prefer over the ruffle ones, won't match. .__.

Thank you for your advice! ^^

I have that white pretty dress. It's pretty. The headdress comes with it. There are also socks that go with the dress, but I dont know if they have it in stock right now. I don't agree withw hats chibiechibbisusa said about the socks. I have socks from Cosmates and they are plenty thick and look and feel fine. They are also pretty good quality. I like the "Ribbon shoes" over the "ruffle knitted shoes". The white shoes are ugly looking, and don't they have white ribbon shoes? I might be mistaken.

[kiku.livejournal.com]

I like the Ribbon shoes more too, but it doesn't look like they have the white ones in stock. =/

It's probably the socks I picked out. I didn't notice they would update it once in a while. ^^;;

GOOD LUCK! I have no experience with cosmates but I hope to soon ^_^

So question for everyone....are the panniers from cosmates cotton? Because I live in FL and my current petticoat is tulle/polyester and when I wear it sweat drips down my legs in a very disgusting and unladylike way o.O I need cotton! lol

Thank you~

It says they're polyester too. ^^;;;
