Shops I'm interested in

This is a list of places I have bought from, or want to buy from! I am sharing it with you, but this list is mostly for my own good so I have a list of taobao shops I can check whenever I want to get something new.

Things will only be included if they have the following:

  • Have pieces that fit at least 97 cm bust (preferably 100cm min), 80 cm waist
  • That I like and would wear (:P)

Shops/places I have purchased pieces from (need to update lmao)

  • Closet Child: Yes, their UI is dated, but you can really end up finding nice prices on stuff! A lot of non-lolita and goth stuff is there, so I usually end up buying stuff for my non-lolita wardrobe while I’m here
  • Wunderwelt: I have bought secondhand and new brand from here (Ichigo15 and Moi Meme Moitie), no particularly bad experiences, except the old site was very slow, but they did fix that. However– I don’t know if this is still a thing, but I do remember one time having an issue where the categories on the top bar would get you fewer results than manually filtering for whatever you want from the side bar?
  • Atelier Pierrot: Lots of neat brands here, I bought my Violet Fane from here (which, I could have bought directly but they didn’t have cult of the sea on their site). I do want to get an Atelier Pierrot brand piece, but nothing has quite called out to me yet. I am also a bit curious on Marble, because they’re such an old brand, but their stock photos are a bit… Hm.
  • Lacemarket: I’ve been on here for years and have done both buying and selling. For me, I have definitely come to appreciate it for hunting indie brand secondhand (For things that I don’t think will get rereleased) But beware of scalpers
  • Bodyline: I haven’t bought from them in a while, but it’s not a bad place to keep an eye on once in a while for sales. I know there’s a reseller on lacemarket that also stocks their stuff. Their shipping can be pretty slow if you choose standard (Thoguh I have heard expedited is ridiculously fast)
  • Fan+Friend: They are nice if you have a particularly specific construction in mind, and they do custom sizing, but the work can be inconsistent (I have had good luck for the most part, but I have heard Stories). Be sure to read the descriptions carefully and stare at the pieces for any particularly questionable design choices (look at my vest from them for an example of what I mean….. It was specifically designed to fray…)
  • https://xiantailangcos.taobao.com Sentaro, I haven’t bought from them firsthand YET, but I have a blouse of theirs secondhand and it’s so nice?? Im definitely ordering a blouse for myself from them very soon
  • https://krad666.taobao.comKrad Lanrette, got Lost in Sea Blue Secondhand, and Transylvania Moonlight (almost called it hotel transylvania whoops) from them, nice quality, lovely prints, though I would prefer transylvania moonlight in skirt form
  • https://pumpkincat.taobao.com/ got dragons treasure secondhand, GORGEOUS piece, lovely fabric and print, I would love to buy from pumpkin cat directly one day if they come with a print that grabs my attention in the same way
