Fanplusfriend Review Part One
Part one of a big F+F review!
Okay, so I placed my order a couple weeks ago, with no special directions except making a headdress match the JSK's fabric. I ordered a JSK, a matching headbow (special request at no extra cost), a pair of earrings, a petticoat, an EGA coat, and a blouse. The coat and blouse were make-to-order, so they will arrive later on, so wait for another review!
LET'S BEGIN!
My package in its DHL bag... And my kitten~!!
All my items in their original packaging. The packaging was tightly sealed and pretty thick.
My poor squished up headbow. This is the packaging it came in.
My earrings came in this tiny cute gift box!
The outside of the petticoat. Gothic Lolita "Omnipotent" Petticoat for 60-90 Angle Cut Bottom. Unfortunately, it's not really like the picture and not nearly as poofy. It's kind of scratchy too, despite the inner lining.
The inside of the petticoat!
Petticoat front and side views!

Here is the JSK and matching choker! Alice Lolita: Card & Stripe Corset JSK/Dress & Ruffle Choker. Long name.
The top laces up nicely! The color on the website is misleading though; they made it look like an opaque dark red, but it's actually lighter with a faded-denim look. I got Lady Size 70. It fits pretty nicely since I was really close to the pre-determined measurements.
The back of the JSK.
The inner tag. Sorry it's blurry--I couldn't get a good picture! >:
Unfortunately, the patches are fraying greatly... It's not TOO noticeable, but it's not very attractive.
Close-up of the lace on the hems. It's scratchy, but pretty!
The inside is fully lined with a soft layer!
Invisible zipper located on the right side under the armpit.
The back bow!
The buttons on the back of the JSK when you remove the bow. They are cute little hearts!
The back bow is removable. It's very well-made.
Close-up of the cute little card patch and the jewel. The jewel/beads are plastic.
The back of the choker! It laces up, so...you have to undo the ribbon to get it on, so it's a bit annoying.
The lace on the choker is different from that of the dress. It's muuuuch softer.
The choker is a little... Overwhelming in size. It reaches up to my chin and looks a little tacky. It's way too big, so I will probably never wear it.

The button started coming off when I was trying to put the back bow back on...
The matching headbow I requested. It's made from the same fabric as the JSK. Gothic Lolita Embroidery Bow&Hair Band. It adjusts along the headband, so you can center it, or put it off to the side! The headband, though, obviously doesn't match at all...
My adorable crown earrings! Elegant Cutie Lolita Pearl Top Crown Earrings.
They are very well-made and gorgeous. The photo doesn't do it justice.
The lovely bag I got. Punk Lolita:Alice Card Circle Bag. It's pretty big and very soft. It's well-made and has no extra strings or anything~!
The inside of the bag. Its opening stretches a lot, so it can hold a good amount!
The bag comes with a messenger-bag type strap that's easily attached.

The strap's adjustable buckle and where it attaches under the zipper.
Full outfit!
Quality (4/5): Fabric and lace of the JSK are a little rough, but the items are well-made besides a few small details.
Communication (5/5): They responded each day (USA's nighttime) to each message I sent and negotiated my special requests and answered all my questions very clearly! Their English is pretty good.
Pricing (3/5): Their pricing doesn't match their quality, however some things are cheaper than others.
Shipping (3/5): Shipping took longer than anticipated, and they didn't ship the instantly shippable items or even ask if I wanted them to be shipped before the rest of the stuff that was still being made.
Packaging (4/5): The items were squished, but the packaging seemed to be able to protect any damage.
