Review : Usagi's Scrap House

Remember my Yui cosplay? Here's where I got the accessories made!

Shop : Usagi's Scrap House

These took more or less two months to arrive, actually. Owner had some issues apparently. 

They have a two week production period, but I guess they aren't keen on actually getting the items shipped.. I missed two photoshoots because they didn't arrive on time. >.<

I had a hair clip, pin, and anklets made.

Here's the hair clip. It's made of foam.

The clip behind it is sorta broken. Like, the part that bends down doesn't actually bend down. It just bends then you have to pull it to actually get it in your hair. And it's hard to clip.

Anklets. In the anime they're round, and I honestly expected for them to be round as well. They're easy to put on, but are hard to take off. And since I gave them my exact ankle size, it hurts a lot cause the balls dig in (and the lock thing hurts A LOT if you clip it wrong..)

Here's the choker clip. Or should I say hair clip? I was super disappointed because I asked for a choker pin right from the start and they still gave me a clip. All my references showed that it was on her choker too. -_-

It's made of foam as well.

Well hey, at least my costume is complete now!

So, all in all, I was sorta super disappointed.

1. Asked for a choker pin, not a hair clip

2. Hair clip doesn't even open up

3. Anklets were supposed to be round

4. Two-ish months?..

5. Price. I mean seriously, I think the shipping for these cost more than the shipping of a heavy sword

6. Materials. 

Price : 3/10 

To be honest, not worth it. Materials + Labor was 550, and the shipping was 300. 

And the choker clip... -___-

Quality : 5/10

I thought they were gonna be a higher quality based on the price.

Would I buy from here again? : Maybe. Not so sure yet. I hear their swords are good though.

Review : Marrey's Kosupureshoppu (Vampire Knight - Day Uniform)

Shop : Marrey's Kosupureshoppu

Okay so here’s the pic of the costume that I ordered.

It’s Yuuki from Vampire Knight

Honestly, I was very excited to get this cos since I really like vampire knight and I’ve wanted to cosplay Yuuki for a while now. And when the costume came I just couldn’t wait to try it on :)

The fabric was good it felt softer than my school uniform so I was happy :3

But there was a problem right before it was shipped to us. The maker said that they lost the buttons (supposed to have flat buttons in replacement of the flower ones) so they were requesting for us to send 100php for it. I honestly didn’t get why we had to send 100php, but I just told them to ship it without buttons and that I’d just find my own buttons.

When I tried the top on I had issues since it was sort-of tight. I’m guessing it’s because I sent them EXACT measurements for the uniform and forgot to mention that it didn’t have any “excess” on it. It was okay to wear but after a while it gets kind of uncomfortable because of the fit.

Here’s a photo of the right cuff.

I kind of got confused when I saw that the line went around half of the cuff.  Because the cuff was just supposed to have pin-like lines, like  :

 And it was supposed to have a folded effect. But I didn’t mind. To me it was okay. It just caught my attention. But I was hoping to have something closer to the actual (I’m so sorry if I’m sounding mean :c this is my  1^st review and I sort of don’t know how to say things >< , I appreciate the cos. Really I do. And I like how it turned out. It just has some errors on it …. )

Here’s the opening of the skirt.

Since the maker said that they lost the buttons, I guess they also lost the skirt lock too.

Here’s a pic of the prefect band.

And because I said that the maker ended up making things EXACT. This was sort of tight too. But it’s okay since it’s velcro so I can loosen it a bit . and I like the fit :) I don’t have to use pins to hold it up ^^

The logo 

The red lines were sewn on line the white lines of the uniform and the logo it’s self was an iron on print.

I think it was a good idea to iron on the logo so that it’d be detailed. 

The cloth used for the band was like Lacoste(or is it really? I didn’t ask what cloths were used for it ><) 

It was… uhhh how do you call it? Two-ply? Two layered?

 It’s basically folded in and stitched to make it thicker ><

Okay… so here’s me wearing the cos ><

No make-up, no wig, and haggard face :c

Sorry if I don’t have a whole body pic. I only used my phone to take the photos ><

~Ratings~

Cloth: 10/10

Details: 8/10

Stitching: 7/10 ( I also saw some parts that were not stitched. Like the string is there but the cloth is not attached to it ><)

Output: 8/10

Would I recommend the shop to others: Yes
