1st SpreePicky Review!


Hey guys! Today I'll be doing a SpreePicky review.
I've been a big fan of SpreePicky for a while now so I was ecstatic to be allowed to buy some things from it (it was an early birthday present///)

I bought these things!
+ two other things for a friend.

My order was shipped on the 17th of April and it arrived on May 13. Shipping to Australia says to take 7-15 business days, however I believe my package was held up in customs.
During this time I was in contact with SpreePicky's Theresa as she emailed asking if it had arrived yet, and I was still waiting. She was very helpful and even contacted China Post to see what was happening, and offered to resend another package if it got lost and didn't arrive. Eventually it arrived almost a month later, haha. All good!

Nevertheless I was really happy with my package! It came in a bag like this:
It was really heavy, actually; I was surprised they could fit everything in there xD

When I opened it, everything was wrapped individually in bags like this:
(oops it's on it's side;; you get the gist though ^^;;;)

Here's what was inside!
Mirai Kuriyama cosplay.

Galaxy Sailor Uniform Set

Ball-Jointed Doll Tights + White Lace Tights

Free cute SpreePicky magical girl charm that comes with any purchase over $60

Lolita/Harajuku Light Brown Curly Wig

Mirai Kuriyama Cosplay Cardigan
Also with the package, Meko, one of SpreePicky's staff, was a birthday gift! /u\ it's so beautiful!
Elegant Heart Key and Crown Necklace
 The cute envelope my necklace came in//

The necklace on~
Thank you so much Meko!

Of course I was so excited to try my stuff on, so here's the results!
The beautiful wig and sailor uniform! Sorry, the lighting made the two bottom pictures look purple, it looks more like the top picture;;;

My cosplay, uniform and tights in detail!
They all fit perfectly! I could actually go a size smaller with the sailor uniform (it was size M) but I didn't want to get something too small because that can't be altered. But both of my orders were M size; please note SpreePicky uses different sizes in comparison to Australian/American sizes - I'm a size XS/S in Australia but I fit M on SpreePicky. Make sure you record your measurements before ordering off the internet because of sizing variation, okay? uwu

Okay, so here's for individual reviews on each item~

Mirai Kuriyama Uniform + Cardigan Cosplay


First of all, I really like the quality of the fabric the cosplay was made out of. The uniform is made out of a sort of polyester-feeling fabric; it's the kind of fabric that doesn't wrinkle too easily and doesn't need to be ironed very much.
The cardigan is also really well made, even my mother and sister said how well done it is! It's obviously made out of some type of wool. (As you can tell, I'm not the expert when it comes to tailoring/sewing ;w;)
As before said they fit me perfectly, and they are size M. I'm about 159cm/5'2" tall for reference and I'm not very curvy or well-endowed. I'm glad they fit me so well because a lot of cosplay assumes my waist size fits larger breasts... ahah ^^;;


The only issue I have is that the buttons seem to be loosely sewn on... it doesn't ruin how the cosplay appears but I fear if I went to a con they could fall off easily if I wasn't careful ;w;
Additionally, the zipper on my skirt is a struggle to zip up fully; we actually had slight difficulty unzipping it when I first tried to put it on. However it unzipped, and it must be due to the seam on the skirt that makes the zipper very stiff. Even so, I guess it's good it doesn't zip the full way, if I zipped it the full way it would sit higher and be very short on me uwu with every negative comes the positive!
These are minor issues though and don't affect the look of the cosplay. So they can easily be dismissed.

The colour on the uniform and cardigan are accurate in the pictures provided on the website, and accurate as possible as well with Mirai's actual uniform in the anime!


My overall rating for the uniform is 4.5 out of 5 stars. My overall rating for the cardigan is 5 stars.
I definitely recommend the uniform and cardigan!!

Galaxy Glimmer Stars Misprint Long Sleeve Shirt and Pleated Skirt





When I saw anzujaamu wearing this I fell in love. It's the cutest and coolest outfit ever!
I love astronomy so how could I not resist?

Despite the misprint I really like it and think it's good quality. I think I could go a size down with this; but I wasn't sure because my size for the skirt measured as an S but my torso measures as an M (and you could only order one size for both), I ended up going with M because it could always be altered if it was too big. However it fits me fine still and is not too big.

It's a bit of a tedious task to iron it, wrinkles get into the shirt easily haha ^^;; The fabric used is thin and cool, so I think it mostly suits any season.

The shirt has a zip in the size and buttons on the flap part at the collar to get it on easily. Also the sleeves have buttons which you can undo. The bow is attached separately and you pull it underneath the collar and attach each ends of the bow with velcro. It holds/stays really well!
The skirt has an elastic waistband and a zipper plus button to get it on and off easily. 
I like to wear the shirt out, I think I look strange with it tucked in! ;u;

I'm planning to wear this to my birthday dinner. It's too adorable not to!

I rate this 5 stars and recommend it! Make sure you match up your measurements correctly and if you're not sure, always get it bigger ^^//

Harajuku Puppet Arthrosis Tattoo Tights
Ahh, I've been dying to get these tights in forever!
I think they'd go really well with a lolita co-ord and I intend to coordinate them with my lolita dresses uvu

As expected, these tights are thick like normal tights (not like tattoo tights) so they won't tear as easily. I find them really comfortable and warm. The print of the ball-joints on it are clear and well-done; they look realistic like I'm an actual real-life ball-jointed doll, haha.

They are super cute, go well with any clothes and have that quirky, unique style like a lot of Harajuku fashion has. I recommend them to anyone who loves Harajuku fashion or even lolita fashion!! n_n

I give these 5 stars.

Beautiful Vintage Trend Knitting Lace Pantyhose Tight Stocking

Ahh, these are so lovely! I wore them out for a birthday dinner for some relatives the other night. They'd definitely go perfect with any lolita or himekaji co-ord! I chose white because I can match it with a lot of outfits, but they come in other colours such as black, pink and grey as well.

These are thinner than the ball-jointed doll tights, so you have to wear them with care so they don't tear. The lace pattern is very detailed and good quality, and gosh it's just so pretty!! ;A;
They aren't as warm either, but this is good because it means I can wear them in summer without dying from heatstroke heheh;;

I give these 5 stars! I recommend them if you're into pretty, cute, lacy things uwu//

Lolita Harajuku Light Brown Curly Wig
This wig is so gorgeous! I've been searching for a more natural wig I could wear with fashion and lolita and this fit those requirements perfectly.

It's quite long; it reaches my waist, and really good quality! It shines a little but I think it looks nice that way. Under different lights it varies in colour, sometimes it looks like a purpley-pink, other times it's a light brown; I like the change! When you look up close it's a combination of brown and purple streaks which explains it's unusual colour.

The hair is soft and thick and I haven't had any fall out yet. The fringe is not ready-cut, you will have to style it if you want to. I quite like it the way I have it now so I'll leave it for now and maybe cut a fringe later uvu

I think this wig is the best quality one out of my wigs that I have, and I really like it... I highly recommend if you're after a wig which is good quality and you can wear daily.

I give this 5 stars!

My overall review

Product quality: 4.9/5
All accurate to what is shown in the picture on the website, worth the price and good quality! All the sizes were accurate as well and fit correctly.

Customer service: 5/5
The staff were really helpful when I hadn't received any update on my package's tracking and extremely polite. It's also so sweet of them to go out of their way to include a birthday present ahh///

I recommend SpreePicky to anyone who is looking for good quality J-fashion/K-fashion wigs, clothes, accessories and cosplay! Their staff members are incredibly friendly and are there to help, so don't be afraid to send them any inquiries!

I hope you liked my review and it was helpful. It was my first clothing/wig review so I hope I did well. Please feel free to leave any questions in the comments below!!

My next review should be my new contacts... they'll be arriving in a week or so! Keep an eye out.
