It's always a risk of quality and style when purchasing off CCT. Those adorable models can really make the clothes more appealing but what will it look like on a normal girl for daily wear or on special occasions?
I think we should make our own collection. So any items you got off rowky, lemoncookie, gmarket, zipa, cct etc post the net image and an image with you modelling or just a picture of the item in natural lighting.

Store Reviews

Zipia
This onle wholesale store offeres great merchandise. It is on the pricy side. Generally speaking, purchasing from Zipia is like buying from stores like H&M, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 and so on. Another good thing about Zipia is that it offers great clothing options not just for females, but have a great selection for the guys as well. Items from Zipia are nearly exact, if not exact to the actual stock picture. The clothes are made out of quality fabric, shoes are durable and the accessories are great too. With ordering shoes, you might want to size up or down depending on style. There is one thing that makes Zipia a little bit less grand, it's the minimum payment amount. You have to spend a minimum of 500 dollars.
Gmarket
Gmarket is also known as the Korean Ebay. It offers a lot of things. Since it is like ebay, we should be aware that the quality varies. Gmarket offers many different styles of clothing, and the fabric is great for most pieces. The shoes from Gmarket also great but can vary from seller to seller. If ordering, you may need to size up or down. Like Zipia, Gmarket's items look exactly like the stock picture. Since this site isn't a wholesale site, there's no spending minimum.What's to love about Gmarket is the prices!But, shipping may be a little high. You can find great pieces for cheap. The only downside to this site is that even though there is a English version, most of it is in Korean.
Wholesale dress
This is a wholesale store. It offers many different pieces of clothing for reasonable prices.The shipping is also reasonable. With Wholesale Dress, its like the luck of the draw. Items of clothing can look exactly like the stock photo, or end up being terrible. On clothing description for most items it states that there might be a difference in length. A lot of the times, the stock photo is a photo copied from actual brands, so the clothes that you might get aren't the actual thing, there just a remade version. It's really a hit or miss. Quality of the clothes vary.
