Ordering Lolita Clothes
Hi everyone, I'm brand-spanking-new to this forum and was wondering if anyone had ever actually ordered lolita clothes from a Japanese retailer? Or even better, bought them at a store? I'm curious because I'm interested in buying things from the Baby, the Stars Shine Bright website but am unsure of how reliable it will be/whether or not the clothes will fit. Obviously I know they give you measurements for the waist size, etc. but everything only comes in one size... So has anyone that's not a tiny Japanese girl actually bought and worn these clothes?!
Pictures are welcome :) and よろしくおねがいしま〜す！:rheart: |
I think youve just answered your own question.
I run a clothing company and we work damn hard to provide accurate measurements of our pieces so that customers wont be disappointed when they get them- I imagine Baby' does the same. If you see the measurements on the Baby site and compare them to your own you will know how the clothing will fit. If you dont squeeze into their measurements then its not the brand for you. *shrug* :) Best be informed and really consider an online purchase prior to making one. |
@apricotsushi Welcome to JF and hope you enjoy here =P

Shinserph: You live in Singapore too? Ano... Can you tell me where you buy japanese style clothings? I have been trying to order from Gloomth since 2 months ago but my parents just won't allow me to order from overseas so do you mind telling me where to buy Japanese style clothes in Singapore if you know?
Apricotsushi: One of my classmate have bought Japanese clothes online. Some can be customised others can't. All you have to do is see if you can fit into the clothings with the measurements they give you. If you can't maybe you can try asking for customised ne with extra payment. I think this kind of questions should go to Gloomth though as she has the most expertise. Love her clothes too. |
have to bring you personally though sorry bout it
|
Thanks, I'll definitely check out Gloomth's site!

Ordering Lolita Clothes is expensive
|
yeah I know. Saw some girls in school wearing for racial harmony and it seemed really nice but heard it was expensive too

Sorry to impose. *raises hand* If anyone's interested, I've ordered three dresses and a pair of bloomers from Metamorphosé... The dresses were about 150 dollars a piece, and the bloomers were 50. My favorite dress I'll buy for sure one day is 450 dollars, though. XD The clothes fit perfectly, even though I'm a bit on the chubby side. n__n;; I'm a bit short, so the skirts are a bit too long for me, but I guess I'll still grow a bit... I hope? Meta's dresses are all stretch around the waist, so they SHOULD fit basically anyone that isn't extremely overweight. Just keep in mind that the price of the clothes and the shipping probably won't be the only thing you'll have to pay, because at least if you live in Europe, heavy taxes will be imposed on your clothes... And if you're not able to pay them within around two weeks depending on the country, your clothes are sent back to the seller, and payback mightn't be possible! Always remember when ordering~ Just thought to share my wisdom with all of you. n__n Oh! And remember when ordering shoes, the sizes in Japan are not the same as in other countries! And when buying winter shoes, they might not be thick enough to keep you warm during the winter especially is your country is cold... I'm planning on traveling to Paris in January to buy clothes from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright's store there, but does anyone know about the pricing? Is it the same as on the website, or is it higher or lower? I'm really worried about this, because I won't want to buy clothes that are more expensive there... |
