So, I finally gave in an ordered my first haul from Taobao as kind of a birthday gift to myself last month ♥ I used TaobaoSpree to order, which was a wonderful service. They paired me up with Cici as my agent, and the communication was great! She was very sweet and friendly, and even contacted other sellers on Taobao when a shirt I wanted was sold out from the original seller I was trying to buy from. (Sadly, that shirt is sold out everywhere... I was too late!) As my first time ordering from anything like this, I was super happy that it was very easy to understand and Cici was really helpful with everything and all the questions I asked. Definitely would recommend this service, especially if you'd rather deal with a human being rather than computers. The whole experience, from me sending the first e-mail to them, to the package actually arriving on my doorstep, took 3 about weeks. It probably would have been faster if the item I wanted wasn't sold out, but it was a short enough time to wait for all these lovely items, in my opinion.
TL;DR for TaobaoSpree
Pros
☆ Talk to a personal agent for your order
☆ Great communication
☆ Fast shipping with tracking included
☆ Fast shipping with tracking included
Cons
★ Not really a con, but expect to wait a little because the agent needs to contact the original Taobao seller(s)
10/10 - Would definitely recommend their shipping service!
Onto the review of the actual items. Most of my items were from a MA*RS replica shop. I don't have the funds to actually buy authentic MA*RS items, yet, so this was a nice compromise.

| Skirt - Definitely my favorite purchase of the entire haul. The fabric is a bit heavy but durable and wrinkle-resistant. You can also take the suspenders off so it's versatile! I love it ♥♥♥ |
 |
| Skirt - Super cute print, though a bit short on me, will definitely need to wear booty/safety shorts under! The suspenders have a bow attached in the upper mid-back, which is a really unique to it. These suspenders are also detachable for more versatility. |
 |
| Top & Bottom Set - This set is super cute and has a lot of little unique design features that didn't pick up well on my camera. The back of the skirt also has a detachable butt-bow on it ♥ It's short, but it came with it's own set of safety pants. The arm warmers (pictured on the left) came with the set. |
 |
| Top & Bottom Set + Thigh High Stockings - Super cute set, though the print fabric is a bit stiff. The stiffness helps keep the bow's shape, but tying it is a tiny hassle (because it struggles against). The butt-bow is also detachable on this skirt. The thigh highs are perfect- the price was cheap but the quality seems durable and very elastic. It doesn't really slip and slide, but I haven't worn it all day long yet. |
 |
| Top + Bottom - A Swankiss replica/style outfit. Sorry for the crappy photo angle and awkward hair combo! I was trying on a new Inori Yuzuriha (Guilty Crown) wig I had bought off ebay, too ^^;; As for the top and shorts, I absolutely love the top. It's super cute and the little trimming on the sleeves is really special. The shorts are high-waisted and make me feel confident about wearing crop tops, though they did turn out to be larger than I thought they would be. I should've ordered it in a smaller size. The daisy "chains" are detachable, |
All in all, I really happy with my purchase and I can't thank Cici from TaobaoSpree enough for all the help she was! ♥
