If you are looking for another petticoat, I recommend Kidsyoyo's a-line petticoat. I am super happy with mine, it's a veritable monster (stands up on its own!).

[mintxkitten]

Thanks, maybe I'll give it a try next time I order from Taobao! ^_^

You wear it by itself? I tend to have flat ones, so I'm used to wearing three -o- I'd like to be able to cut that down to two... :D *likes huge skirts*

[amethystcitrine]

LOL wow. Yeah, I wear it as a lone petticoat, and it works wonders. Wish I had a pic of it...

I don't think I'd have the endurance for three pettis. ^^;

[romantique_era]

Oh, that HMHM looks lovely !
It's a shame about the petti. ;A;

[mintxkitten]

Thanks, I think so too!
I know, the petti was a total downer ;_;
But I'm really impressed with the rest of it so I'm not too upset.

Did you ask Taobao Spree to mark your parcel down for customs or did they do it automatically?

[mintxkitten]

They did it automatically.

So, HMHM's custom sizing is fairly accurate?
I'm waiting on an order from them and it is all custom size, because I have a very small waist and a, uhm, generously gifted chest. I'm a little nervous about them, especially since I just heard back that the wrong items were sent to taobaospree ^^;;
Also, how was the fabric on it?

[mintxkitten]

The fabric is really nice. The floral high-waist skirt is a velveteen type material and the bottom ruffle are made of a lightweight black cotton, I believe. I wore it to class today and it was quite warm and comfortable! The blue chandelier skirt is a very soft velveteen, but I think the slip is nylon or something synthetic.
The sizing was pretty accurate, but I wish I had given them a number slightly under what my measurements really are because I gave them my exact measurements and the skirts are a little bit big in the waist. However, I would rather have them be too big and be able to have them taken in by a seamstress rather than have them be too small and not be able to do anything about it.

[raphiael]

Excellent point. It's much easier to get something smaller than bigger.
Thank you for the information. I'm much less nervous about it now.

[mintxkitten]

Aw no problem! I'm glad I could calm your worries <3
I'm sure everything will be fine. You should post a review too when the stuff arrives!

[goth_kittykat]

thank you. :) i'm still browsing taobao before buying so all reviews are very helpful to me.
