My Closetchild Order

How exciting! My first foray into "brand" Lolita. At top is a sweet Chocomint hairclip/brooch. The second picture is my Innocent World Francois Rose skirt in pink, and finally a Matamorphose Biscuit jumperskirt. The Biscuit JSK from Meta was one of my earliest desires- in some colorways, I believe the print goes back as far as 2003. I bought these (along with a Baby blouse) at Closetchild, a Japanese second-hand dealer with really competitive prices on brand clothes and accessories. The shipping was fast, and everything was in really good condition. I'll definitely go back there in the future to buy more goodies!

The quality of these clothes is out-of-this-world! The attention to detail is stunning. The old adage is true- you get what you pay for. I know, realistically, that all of my Lolita won't be brand, but I will be happy to have a few of these "luxury" pieces for my wardrobe. Unfortunately, I'll really have to watch size, as brand runs every bit as small as I feared it would. I'm a 4-6 in US sizing, and The IW skirt just barely fits (I'll look into moving the hook closure), the Baby blouse is tight across the chest, and the Meta JSK fits perfectly- if I was even half an inch bigger anywhere, it would be tight.
