melikestea haul and review

Today I got in the mail a haul from melikestea!  Melikestea is most well-known for petticoats, but I actually did not get any pettis; I got an underskirt, bloomers, and hair accessories!  Since there aren't as many reviews out there for their non-petti items, I decided to share my thoughts.

Date ordered: 4/14/17

Date shipped: 6/1/17

Date received: 6/17/17

All of the items I ordered were custom made, and melikestea has a policy that if the total number of business days estimated for the making of your items is supposed to be over 30 days, it will be capped at 30 days anyway.  I love that policy, and my order was shipped pretty well in line with that (it took 31-32 business days).  I also received my order in about the 2 week estimated timeframe as well.  

Everything I ordered is very high quality and I am 100% satisfied with my order!  The price for the items was incredibly reasonable, although the shipping was high.  It was worth the wait and the cost, though!

Alice Underskirt: 55 cm length in white

 This is a wardrobe basic that I had been lacking, and was the primary reason I made this order.  It is simple and functional, fits well, is light, and has the right shape.  The construction quality is awesome, and price was under $20 (not including shipping).  I should have gotten one in many other colors!

Amanda Bloomers, Pintuck Long Bloomers, and Daily Bloomers

 These are another wardrobe staple.  I had only 2 pairs of bloomers before, which is too few for how much I wear lolita.  One of them in particular was getting really beaten up and had multiple holes in it, so I wish I would have ordered these sooner!  I got them all in white, but maybe I will order some colored ones in the future.  The white on these is actually so white that it almost seems to have a blue tint to it.  That really doesn't matter at all, but I'm just glad that my white underskirt doesn't appear that way.  All of these fit perfectly and are very comfortable, and constructed really well.  The Amanda bloomers are nice and poofy...just how I wanted them to be!

Yukina Headbow, Aquillah Headbow, Cotton Lace Hair Ties, Carola's Tea Ties, Colorful Hair Ties

Since I was making an order anyway, I decided to fill in some gaps in my headwear collection.  All of the hair ties I got have an alligator clip, though elastic bands are also available.  The colors on all of these are just right and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and price.  I'm a little disappointed that my Carola's Tea Ties do not have the little extra ribbons as shown in the stock photo.  They actually look more like the Sweetheart Hair Ties (which are the same price).  This is only a minor gripe, however, and really the only negative I can say about this whole order.

In conclusion, this haul and experience were awesome and I can't wait to use my new items!  Melikestea is an amazing place to fill in a lolita wardrobe with the essentials needed to actually wear lolita!
