I just redeemed my subq invite and went to the shop to try and score some sweet threads, but when I go to the clothing option it doesn't show any lines? does it still restock as well as requiring an invite? it just says "current selection" and then is totally blank, what am I doing wrong here?

the clothing section get sold out pretty regularly. you can join sbqrs forum group to get ping when it restock or just visit it more often.
ah, thanks, I thought it wasn't a rsing shop anymore because of the invites, thanks for the explanation :) so does it rs exactly like it used to, or do the items tend to stick around a bit longer?

The makeup lines don't restock - you can just go to that part of the shop and buy those items. However, the clothing lines(makeup included) restock at the shop like other shops do. Most of the items that sit there aren't worth the cost of the invite+shop cost, though. You've pretty much got to catch a restock and be careful about buying.
i think it is about one hour between each restock. it just restock a moment ago. sometimes item stay long, sometime no buyer, sometime everything sold out. maybe if you online when no frequent buyers, you have more chance.
there's no need to get worked up over it. you will get what you want some time :) as long as you remember to visit it frequently.
oh, right, got it, thanks. that seems... kind of odd to me, but I'm sure they have their reasons..

They want to keep the "value" of the sets, so only nine different items stock at one time, and only two of each of those items. Generally if there are three or less items in the shop, those items aren't really worth buying, if you're including the cost of the invite as well. (I only use the ones I find, so if I need something, I buy it)

ah, thanks for the tip. one more question, the prices of makeup in the usershops are so much higher than their official price, even accounting for the price of an invite- I'm assuming people sell the makeup on the forums for cheaper, since it's not restocking so it's easier to get?

I would assume most people don't bother selling the makeup. The stock is constant. Nothing has retired since it's been introduced. People can just buy what they want. They might sell it if they had bought it to use, then decided they wanted to clean out their wardrobe, but other than that, they probably just don't sell.
If there's something you want in there, just buy an invite from user shops then go buy it from the shop. Probably going to be the fastest and cheapest way about it.
That's not to say, of course, you can't TRY to buy and sell on the forums if you wanted, I'm just not super sure if there is a market for it, unless it's hecka discounted and you're taking a loss (Or taking advantage of someone who doesn't know better)
