FromJapan Order: Liz Lisa clothes

Well, I'm writing pretty late here considering that I received my order on June 27th, but I was too lazy to properly sit down and take the time to write about it. I think it's also because I was slightly disappointed with the fitting of the clothes, and so I wasn't really looking forward to writing this post. I think I'll make this post brief.


Shipping option chosen: Surface mail (small packet) - the cheapest option
Date shipped: May 16th
Date received: June 27th


Quite well packaged.


Item #1: Liz Lisa Cream Brown Sukapan (sorry but I'm making up the names since I have no idea what's their official name)



Quality: Really good. I don't think it was worn before because the tag was still attached to the item.
Fit: Great. Probably the best one that fits me out of the four items I bought. Reaaaaally satisfied.



Item #2: Liz Lisa (Penderie) Leopard Cardigan With Detachable Fur Collar


Quality: I think there's dry sweat on the fur:


It's not horrible, but I did feel a little bit disgusted when I tried it on. And I don't think I can wash it...
As for the cardigan itself, I don't really see any pilling, overall condition is not bad (i.e. I'm satisfied).


Fit: Not so good... I didn't know it would be so high waisted and loose. For the high waisted problem (I personally don't like high waisted clothes on me), it's not that bad since I can wear something under to make the top less high waisted (e.g. see picture below). But for the loose fit, I can't really do anything, except wearing something quite thick under to make it look less loose.

I obviously won't go around with my arms like that (thankfully),
but I just wanted to show how loose it is.


Item #3: Liz Lisa Leopard Sukapan



Quality: Two things -

1. I wasn't aware the sukapan would look so orange (on the seller's picture, it looked more like beige/brown). Plus I had chosen this more expensive sukapan over others (that were actually all the same) because I thought the former was more brown. Actually it was just the picture lighting that was different. So I was a tad disappointed.

2. The crotch area:

I washed it and it went away but still... I felt grossed out.
And I only noticed it weeks later, after having tried it on multiple times... lmao
That serves me as a lesson to always check the crotch before...

Fit: Great, but some things kind of irritate me a little -- see below.

(I won't wear this shirt with this skirt!)

Cute pompoms on the sides.
But there's a weird fold from the other side showing -- see yellow arrow on pic.
I think I have to arrange a bit the elasticized waist to avoid having these.


Item #4: Liz Lisa Check Top

The white shirt is sewn to the "tank top".

Quality: It's ok as I thought the shirt would look more used. Only some of the criss-cross ribbons' fabric is somewhat gone, and maybe the white shirt does look "not new" from multiple washes (which is normal).

Fit: Great. I feel the white shirt looks maybe a little bit tight, but all in all I think it looks ok.

I'm not completely unsatisfied of my order, but there are things I would have done differently (e.g. not order this leopard sukapan). But since I'm a real newbie with buying from Japanese flea markets, I can only wish that this is part of my wonderful "learning journey".

Thanksssss!
