Note: The shipping time was estimated to arrive middle of March. Even though it was caught up in the Chinese new years rush it still arrived early. I'm impressed since last time there was a mix up and our package arrived late. They've improved a great deal.

Total:$198.000
Kimono
In this picture I did this obi wrong, it is supposed to be tied around the inner robe. The whole thing together is breath taking. At first I wasn't sure about the patterns and the colors but now that I've seen it in person I'm impressed and head over hills in love with it.
The fabrics are very nice. No cheap shininess or heavy bed comforter type. Its light and soft to the touch. Every seam is done correct, no messy threads.
Where the obi should be. I need to learn how to tie in a bow. Sorry for the rush job.
Front part of everything together.
Inside of the outer kimono is lined in lovely red satin.
The sleeves in together. They were well made and fit perfectly.
Close up of the fabric of the outer kimono. Really soft. I love it.
All fabrics side by side. They really do blend well. The colors are very nice. I love all the different types of flowers and birds.
WIG
I've been grooming the wig, sorry its a bit messy. I'm going to wash it tomorrow. The bangs weren't styled like they were supposed to but that's an easy fix.
The color looks more brown in the pictures but it s a natural black with brown undertones. Its super soft! Very much like natural hair and that is what I want in a cosplay wig.
The netting is thin but not noticeable when worn. Luckily all my hair fits underneath, which saves me from having to cut it. This wig is about 120cm. It goes down to my thighs (I'm 5'2 1/2)
Cut the bangs. I left the sides long so it is in Hime style like Yuuko has in the manga. It needs to be washed and looks bad because I sprayed it down. It is a very long wig but with some time and lots of spraying it will work out quite well.
Overall:
I'm very pleased. We bought two costumes from them before and sadly there were a lot of issues when it came to shipping. But they've improved! I'm very glad I gave them another try. Now I can say we will buy from them again. All is forgiven.
So I'm rating them at a 4.5
Why?
No issues beside them giving us someone else's tracking number and having us freak out because the package went somewhere else. It took us two times to email them before getting a reply about it, that's the only reason I didn't give them a five. The items ordered are perfect. I'm very pleased. Money well spent.
