Seller 30

from Ministry of Clothes

Hi FT!

We just came across Reader 125's comment about blogshops who are trying to be environmentally friendly. We quote," the seller dont have enough plastic bags/ paper bags and thought of the easy way out by saying they wanna be "environmental friendly "

There really is no truth in that statement because plastic bags only cost RM12 for 300 pieces and 300 plastic bags is enough to last you for months =.=" Why go through all that trouble to save RM12? =.="

MOC has never had an environmental friendly policy but we do think that shops that are trying to be eco friendly should not be flamed and thought as cheap because they really are trying to do their bit for the environment.


Thank you :)

Much love,

Ministry of Clothes

i was bloghopping and saw this at BIBABOT

If you enquire upon an item more than thrice and not buy it, we will not hesitate to blacklist you and we don't want that to happen. (

honestly, i was stunned.
it suddenly seems like enquiring about items has became a "crime" in the online shopping world.

i know that there are many people out there who sends in enquiries to sellers all the time. but i supposed that's because they have at least that slight interest in purchasing it. it all depends on whether the buyer has sufficient cash, or whether the item is nice enough / worth it enough, and for some, whether the seller is nice enough.

i think some customers do not make up their mind to make purchases immediately. they may inquire for the information, and take days, or maybe weeks to decide.

anyway point is, i just find that statement above an irony.

oh and i came across this site that actually fines buyers for being late during COD.
i can't remember the website URL, but if my memory is correct, the seller said something about a 'fine' of RM5 for 5 / 10 minutes late during COD.

it just shows that there are 2 types of sellers. one, willing to wait although they may end up waiting for an hour, and the next type, sellers who probably wants to teach the customer a lesson by giving 'penalty' for late COD. lol if i'm the customer, i think i'll just disappear and not turn up for COD.

... and!
there are sites claiming to be "environmental friendly" *think Ministry of CLothes* by saying no plastic bags/paper bags or wtv will be provided during COD. they expect customers to bring their own shopping bags.

as a buyer, i totally dont see any sense in this. i kinda think the seller dont have enough plastic bags/ paper bags and thought of the easy way out by saying they wanna be "environmental friendly".

(ps*** i checked MOC and i think they removed the "environmental friendly policy" but i'm sure there are many other sites out there having the same concept)

just my thoughts

i am a pretty new online shopper and i must say im satisfied with my new finds online, some of it are really awesome! but i had a few bad experiences the first time where i excitedly purchased a dress without enquiring about the height. alas it was a minidress and it barely covered my butt as the model was so petite. that wasted my money but i had no choice so i took it as a lesson.

from thereon i became more careful and started to browse more shops. most owners are very friendly such as french kiss, kiss and tell (very nice!), our mutual passion, tastycherrychapstick, and the closette etc.

however, i want to comment that the closette's prices are sometimes too high >.< i noticed that this satin dress from the closette

http://theclosettesold.blogspot.com/2008/10/satin-print-dress.html

is the same as the one from Ministry of Clothes. the difference? a whole hefty rm20 price difference.
also, the button side shorts from closette is rm11 more expensive than michatoo boutique.

however, i just wanted to draw attention to the price difference. i have no complaints about the closette's personality, she's a very nice person so i do not want to offend. thankss!

Stories from Readers 40

i really really like what Reader 39 wrote about.
suggesting good ways in taking photographs!

i would like to comment on certain blogshops which catches my eye and my thoughts on certain of them..

here goes!!

Ministry of Clothes

their photos are really clear and sharp.
i can easily judge the colour of the piece based on the pictures. as it's taken outdoor with natural lightings..


Dainty Dresser

love her pictures. consistent. and she's always smiling!! attracts buyers like me.
sharp clear nice pictures.


Ancient Orchids

alot of her photos are taken based on her reflection on the mirror.
i'm not a fan of her photos. coz she seems to pose in a very odd manner. it's like her body is slanted towards one angle. also, i can't see the bottom of the dress.


Vibrant Swirls

i understand not everyone is able to find another photographer to take their pictures. so the next alternative is, taking photo of yourself! Vibrant Swirls photos are pretty good.
the left one: can see the colour of the dress properly. sharp
the right one: obviously better la hahaha the model must have worn that dress to a function
but again, it's an outdoor shot and these shots usually turn out nicer


Kiss and tell


i dont know why she blur out the picture. it's so blur and i can hardly see the piece clearly!!
and i think she's a little petite. thus, not a very good model. gives people the wrong idea of the dress!
but now she's using mannequin, which.. not to my liking



D Looking Glass

lousy lighting!!
i can hardly see the real colours of the dress!
but pictures are clear

Clothesville

outdoor shots, with greenary as well!
nice. it's really colourful and the pictures are attractive.


too lazy to find more pictures!!
but as far as i remember,
i dont quite like the layout of Clothesbucket, alot of people like it but i find it very complicating. maybe it's because there are too many pictures for one item and the pictures are very big and not very organize (but more pictures are good too, probably the arrangement of the pictures need to be reconsidered)

Clothes For Fun - the model, i dont know why she pouts her mouth that way. a little bit distracting for me. otherwise, not bad!

Dressing Lab - she bends her body too much! but it's ok, apart from that.

The Closette - too much cleavage!! kinda sends the wrong message across

Rainbowmallows - her photos quite bright.

Candy treats - her photos abit distorted. stretched a bit. there may be some errors when uploading or transfering/compressing the photos...

Goddess City - photos super attractive! the way they model, its like the model is some successful business lady.
