Here's a quickie Picture Step-by-Step of my bedazzling...just in case anyone hasn't used these types before :) For the most part...I'm trying my best to match Tiffany's jacket...by location and colors of the beddazzling....but it's a bit difficult when my jacket isnt exactly like hers...and there arent extensive references...so! Just guessing for the most part =P...I'll post full detailed pictures of my jacket when I finish :)

Finally! Work ends and I'm home and BAM! Everything's Outta the Box! OHHHHH it was so fun digging through everything and organizing it into piles, etc... I figured I might as well put in some stats for my purchase...
Firstly...since I live in America (USA) and not China, I purchased through this agent http://www.engtaobao.com/. My total Purchase Order was $371.14 (you can see what I bought here) After the Agent Fee, and Conversion Fee it was $384.13 I payed and completed this transaction on 7/25/13. Then came waiting for my items to arrive at the Agent's facility... All of my items arrived at the sorting facility 8/5 ready and waiting to be shipped to me. Engtaobao offers a few shipping options and I chose the cheapest...cuz I'm not in that big of a hurry to pay THAT much more to get it to me sooner...so I picked SMD (15-30 days) My package was estimated 14kg = $147.58 After Conversion Fee the Shipping Total = $152.74 I paid on 8/7, my items were shipped out on 8/9 and arrived (technically) on 8/15! That's pretty fast! Overall....for what I bought $371.14, my total spent was $536.87. (An extra of about $165.73 for shipping/handling and agent fees) I dont mind, it's not that much more for ALL THE STUFF I BOUGHT! If I bought all of this stuff on ebay I'm pretty sure it would easily have been much more. What was awesome was that I didnt have to pay a customs fee! my last purchase (through a group order...so not on my own) we had to pay a stupid freaking CUSTOMS FEE! like WTH....but yea...thank goodness I didnt have to pay for this purchase. I guess we've kind of just given up on trying to figure out why that happened...and just brushed it under the carpet (lets just call it a freak happening) But! if it helps...for this purchase my package was marked as a gift and a total value of $20 (good job engtaobao!) I dont believe customs even touched my package. Everything was still nicely packed into the box and no extra taping on the outside indicating that it had been opened.
I'm feeling so lazy tho! I'm excited to make new cosplays...but at the same time...I'm like ehhh I got time....WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! why do I procrastinate like so....
