I heard that the quality there was a bit better than www.cct-fashion.com, www.je551.com, and www.whendayclothfashionshop.com.
I haven't ordered from that site before, but I did from those 3 shops I listed above. Out of all 3, I'd say CCT was the overall best. A downside from them is that their shipping is quite high. je551 has more selections but their sewing sucks. (You'll probably need to sew a button that fell off, or corners that ripped). And if you order from Whenday, you'll most likely not receive all the items you ordered, because they're sold out and they didn't tell you (but you do get a Paypal refund after you complain to them). That site offers cheaper prices on most of the items. In general, those sites' qualities are about the same, because if you want cheaper prices, you can't have great quality at the same time. If you want good quality, check out www.zipia.net. Their prices are $$$ but that is the original site where all the clothes' designs came from, the other sites were copycats. www.gmarket.com also has great quality, but it's hard to order from there unless you have a guide or know Korean. (Check out Soompi forums for the guide).
Other sites I know of (but not sure of quality):
www.ja333.com
www.yiyipf.com
www.causewaymall.com
and a few here and there that I can't remember the URL address. ><
Hope this helps...

firedragon!! thanks for the detailed description!! It helped outs a lot

I had ordered from whenday before & usually 1/2 stuff is like sold outs =.= && that gets really annoyin cos i always try to calculate the shipping kilos so i save money..

oh ye!! thier quality is really bad at whenday.. I brought a black top & it made my white bag turn grey =.= i also brought a grey sweater & it ended up havin all these lints after i worn it only 3times ><"

hrmms.. i was thinkin about orderin from yestyle cos i heard the quality is good but its sooooo pricey ><"

I think i might try out carlvinoparis.com first & see how it goes.. wish me luck

I've never even heard of it before... weird, I seem to know barely any shops that others do. So sorry, I don't know. But thank you for the link.

Yes it is true! I have ordered from CCT, YIYIPF, Causeway and JA333 but their shipping cost is way cheaper than CARLVINO and much faster too because ulike CARLVINO who uses EMS (2-3weeks) the other 4 sites I mentioned uses DPEX (for Asia only!

Also CARLVINO is not nice to their customers unlike CCT, Causeway and Yiyipf!

I will never order from them again! EVER!

I've actually have ordered from Whenday and the items I ordered aren't low quality or damaged yet at all. I ordered 6 pieces and only one was sold out. My experience shopping there seems to have been better than most. Since I see others with low quality items, I say maybe I was just lucky and you might want to be careful if you decide to buy their items.

Ja333 and CCT is wholesale.. =)

but in CCT you only have to buy 12 pcs and 2 piece per style but you can mix style and color. in Ja333 minimum purchase is HKD1500 i think.

Yiyipf is the best! I suggest you ask your friends to share the 20 pcs with you..
But I tell you its totally worth it! I love buying in Yiyipf! =)

I would suggest ordering from yipf. 20 items arent that much >.< I actually just ordered from them like 2 weeks ago and it only took bout a week to get my items....umm pretty good customer service (cept the lil comunication difficulies) and they tell u whats been sold out and stuff by e-mail before u pay. I got 20 and 3 got sold out. I think they will send it for u anyways if u dont have 20 but some got sold out.

I just loaded that in my browser, and holy smokes!! They're really reasonable in price. A lot of their stuff was between $5 and $9. And it was really cute, too! Anyone know about their quality, before I go and purchase stuff?
