Bodyline Review of Shoes 267 and Stop Sleeves ACC1078 (Wrist Cuffs) in three colors

                My mom placed the order on 5/3/2014, and took advantage of the free air mail. It arrived on 5/30/2014, but I picked it up from the post office on 5/31. My mom said that she used air mail for my Christmas order (ordered early November) which came in a matter days. My spring order took 27 days. I am considering EMS shipping and using the yen trick for a birthday haul.

Packaging: Normal Bag and box combo. There was a noticeable tear in the plastic bag. Not cool, but not the worst, it’s about a centimeter.

                Condition of items: Fine. There are no visible defects.

1)      Shoes – Black – 4.5/5

The design is black, with scallops, heart cut-outs, and a cute bow. My mom thinks that they look like tap dancing shoes. I think they are cute and would be good for an outfit outside of Lolita. I think that it can be used for any style besides punk and gothic.

No visible markings or scuffs. The size is 25.5 Japanese, and I am a 9.5-10 US. My feet are wide, so most American Shoes are extremely uncomfortable. I have another pair of Bodyline shoes in 25.5 (platform shoes), they are roomier than American shoes and fit better. These shoes also fit well. They are much simpler than my platforms, and have a shorter heel.

When I walk around in these black shoes (which look like tap dancing shoes), it feels a little weird. I think that it might need thicker soles or that they are not as tall as my platforms. The material used is not as good of quality, I think that if you are looking for a better quality version, get the enamel material instead. That would be SHOES268. The enamel material is shiny and a bit stronger. The material in mine easily bent when I was walking around.

2)      Wrist Cuffs – Pink, Black x Black, and White. 5/5

I told my mom to order one pair in black x black. My mom surprised me with two other colors, pink and white. The color is nice and consistent. The pink one is a bubble gum color. The white one is the color of the moon at sea. The black one is the color of a cute black beetle. :D The bow and pearls are nice touch. It is good quality for the price. The pearls are inexpensive quality. The lace seems a lot better than the lace I would use to make a handmade pair of wrist cuffs. I like it, but it doesn’t have a nice silky, soft feel like other lace. If you do not like chemical lace, then don’t go for it.
