Today I will show you a great online shop for fans of Japanese fashion!
Lately, I have moved away from shopping on taobao and have started buying from second-hand lolita shops online. I have a few reasons for this. First, the quality of brands like Angelic Pretty, Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and Metamorphose Temps de Fille is reliably fantastic. Second, it is better for the earth. 🌍☆ So let's begin.
https://www.wunderwelt.jp/en (Wunderwelt) specializes in secondhand gothic and lolita clothing from Japanese brands. The condition of each item is ranked from A to D. From my experience, what you see is what you get. Wunderwelt offers 5000¥ ($44.10) off international shipping with an order of 50000¥ ($441.00) or more! I saved up for about 6 months to place this order to get the deal. The order arrived to my house on November 27th.
Here is a collage featuring Wunderwelt's photos of the items:
I placed my order on November 15th. They sent me a shipping quote on the 17th. I chose EMS shipping. The total would have been ¥8,178 ($72.13), but was only ¥3,178 ($28.03) with the discount.
Okay, time for the fun part: pictures!
I was so happy opening the package! I can't wait to wear all the pretty dresses and accessories. I already wear the Emily Temple Cute necklace almost every day.
Finally I got around to getting a good petticoat. This one by Alice and the Pirates is perfect for me because it is not too poofy. Since I wear lolita almost every day, I need it to be practical while keeping the doll-like look 😊
The BtSSB cutsew blouse (Princess Drop Round Neck Pullover 2011) is really comfy and has detachable sleeves and heart-shaped buttons.
The super soft mohair bolero (Snowflake Bolero 2005) is also by BtSSB and has tiny pearls sewn in.
The BtSSB headbow is made of beautiful and sturdy jacquard and has little pom poms! I think they are so adorable.
Metamorphose Temps de Fille released the white dress (Lace Ribbon 3 Tier JSK) in 2003! This one is so delightfully old school with the tiers, ribbons, and lace. I really feel like a doll when wearing it.
Self Fabric Ribbon Pintuck JSK (2005) by Metamorphose is the charming floral piece second from the right in the group picture. Meta always has the best construction! The fabric is soft yet sturdy. It comes with 4 detachable bows. I love that I can dress this one up or down easily.
Ahh, the long sleeved Angelic Pretty dress in the middle there is the whole reason I made the leap to start this order. It is extremely beautiful.💕 My heart fluttered when I saw this up for sale. I can't find the exact model on lolibrary, but the fabric is also used in designs from 2004 (Floral Pattern Dot OP). Every detail from the eyelet lace to the delicate ruffles and pintucks is perfect. Note the gothic look of the Angelic Pretty label: that's how you know it's old!
The next dress has a really cool name! It is "Angels and Roses Gobelin JSK" (2004) by BtSSB. Gobelin fabric is the best. Call me grandma's couch, I still love it! A little detail that I did not notice when I got this: the tiny cherubs in the print! Aww my heart just melted~
I own the pretty pink dress on the right in black also. It is BtSSB's Ekaterina (2006). Something I love about this dress enough to own it in two colorways is the elastic shoulder straps. They let you adjust the fit so it's just perfect even with a bigger bust (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
Don't you love the details? Thank you for staying with me until the end!
Until next time,
