Is lolita fashion really too expensive? Get basics on AliExpress!

[@flamebloom4659]

This is some precious information for all the people getting started in the fashion! Mostly for the shoes. Shoes tend to be a more expensive accessory but also very essential, so it's important to make sure the first pair can match with future dresses!

I am glad you agree! 💖

[@hiyoristernfunkel]

sometimes i think yes, but I know there are a lot of affordable options on Taobao

[@magicalashleigh]

This - almost all of these are originally from taobao, and usually even cheaper at that!

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Of course, but TaoBao is really not accessible for beginner lolitas. It’s kind of complicated so I didn’t want to scare beginners by sending them directly to the most complicated place to get lolita.

Great budget / beginner advice!

Thank you 💖

Nice! I think it helped me. I wanted to try wristcuffs for longer time but i couldnt find the one i liked and i realy like the ones with the bows. Thank you

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

I really wanted to avoid the mistakes of skipping basics so for 2 dresses and 1 skirt I own 6 pettis/crinolines...

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

Well, that seams like a lot for that amount of dresses. Are they all that different your pettis/crinolines?

[@mangogo44]

@@FluffyKawaiiJo Yes, they are different and the main piece looks different with different shapes. I also think that it's an investing for the future dresses 😅

I wish the blouse gave the size (what bust size it'll fit). The first shoes I got (Bodyline) were a pair of white and a pair of gold (for a specific dress) [the gold are too big and the white I had to add more holes in the strap]. Looking at the Ali Express shoes, I'm still not sure what size would be best. [I'm 7.5-8 US ... about 24 cm, but my feet are a little wide]. The shoes seem to be reasonably priced on Ali Express, the shipping to Canada is a lot though. Shipping seems to be mostly $24-35. I like the bows are removable on the wrist cuffs. Those head bows are cute too. Though, are head bows like that more for sweet or do they work for gothic & classic too? I see a lot of examples of bows and wrist cuffs for sweet everywhere I look, but most of the dresses I've gotten are classic and I'm not sure what works best with them. 😅 Oh, I'm also wondering about Ali Express and customs/duties fees. I got hit with a large fee when I ordered off Bodyline, but my one Taobao order and stuff I got from a Taobao reseller I didn't have to pay customs fees on (which surprised me, but I'm not going to complain). Sorry, I'm rambling. I should be in bed and not looking at stuff on Ali Express right now. 😅

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

I never got any customs/duties with AliExpress and always with Bodyline. You need to keep searching for shoes, sometimes you find some with free shipping. Just add the price of the shoe to the shipping to compare. Some are more expensive with free shipping and some are cheap but have shipping. I can’t really comment on what is appropriate for Classic or Gothic because it’s not my style and I don’t know. Sorry. But you can look up gothic and classic people on Insta and see what they wear.

[@ashleyien1222]

@@FluffyKawaiiJo Okay, thank you. Oh, I tried to do the coord mashup thing (though used the only thing I have with food, even though cake isn't unusual - though birthday cake print for photos on my birthday are sort of amusing), but need to figure out how to put things onto the form still.

Hi there i really hope you will see this comment. How is the sizing on aliexpress? Is it your true size or is it asian size?

[@FluffyKawaiiJo]

It’s a marketplace. So any shop have different sizes. But most of them have a size chart with exact measurements associated with each size. So you should be good.
