Honestly, everyone should get a nice measuring tape and check their measurements once a month. It's a way better way to get great fitting clothes without divinating and guesstimating if a chinese Mens Small will half a size bigger than an australian Womens Tall or an american Mens Medium

E: they're 40 cents on aliexpress

One of my first AliExpress purchases was a shirt, actually:
These polyester blouses, though I don't think I bought mine from this seller. I bought one that was 1 size up and it was a little snug, and later bought another that was 2 sizes up - perfect!

It's stiff and a little transparent, but the pattern looks exactly as pictured, and I've received several compliments on the jeweled-cross print. I would hesitantly recommend it to others. :) I think it's an especially great option for trans girls who are starting their wardrobe. The cut is flattering on a smaller bust, and the low price point plus feminine cut and color make it a good wardrobe-builder - just wear a camisole underneath and you're set for casual and business-casual wear, depending on how you accessorize it!

I agree, but the seller twoday was looking at didn't have a sizing chart on their page. :saddowns:

It's your own bloody fault.
I hope you are all using the app, rather than the website.

Not only do you get access to an extra set of flash sales, but the prices are all slightly cheaper.

About $0.01 per item cheaper, which seems such an oddly small amount that you wonder why they bother.

I read Poorly Made in China and it actually made me feel physically ill, also the author went semi insane and stopped using soap based on his experiences lol

I read it too, and it's what caused me to seek out AliExpress haha. But my takeaway was, "Oh, actually all the poo poo is contaminated anyway. So I may as well not pay extra for the illusion that it isn't contaminated."

In all honesty buying from aliexpress probably has a way higher chance that the chinese manufacturers actually get paid, than buying from american redistributers

Neither are guiltless, but change is going to come from within china, not a few americans refusing to buy the Ugly Slut t-shirt, might as well remove the middle man leech and give as much of the payment to the factory as you can

I ordered some Micron drawing pens for next to nothing, the printed text seems a bit off. So probably counterfeit. I never bought original Microns, so can't really compare. Eh.
