Amphigory. Great for wigs and make-up. http://www.amphigory.com/www.Cosplay.com for wigs and supplies. I've never had a problem with them. A friend did once, and they got the order wrong, but they resent the right thing for free, with no obligations.

Oooooooh, this one! Ichiroya Kimono Flea MarketThey're based in Japan, but the website ships worldwide. A lot of the kimono are used and have some damage, but generally everything is of good wearable quality. You can find kimono that are as old as the Meiji period to brand spanking new ones, and I once saw a kimono there that was being sold for 28 USD! Granted, you usually have to order the obi or other pieces separately,but they do sell sets too (though those may be incomplete too). I'll confess to never having ordered from them, because shipping costs are outrageous to the US and I seem to have expensive taste whenever I 'window shop,' but I've heard they're really good. They're probably more trustworthy to get an authentic kimono from then from some random seller on eBay.

Here's another few sites: FanPlusFriendChina based, ships worldwide. They're divided into a cosplay shop and a gothic lolita shop. So far, I've only ever ordered from their G-Lol shop, but I've been very satisfied with what I've received. I ordered a dress that I still use today and it holds up extremely well, and a skirt that I use for a Black Mage cosplay. They're a bit on pricey side, especially with shipping... but their stuff is really good and the service is excellent. The staff can be really helpful is you have questions or need help with something, not to mention they can also custom fit the outfit you choose - for no extra charge usually, unless you're asking for a bigger size than they offer. Sock DreamsUSA based, free shipping to anywhere in the USA - Alaska and Hawaii included! They do ship internationally too, but with the charges. Their sock selections are excellent, and they even have loose fitting socks like many school girl cosplays have and even tabi. They also dabble in gloves, leggings, and petticoats, among a few other things, but they're an excellent site. I can say that if you're in the US, they ship really quickly. T-KingdomTaiwan based. Never ordered from these guys but have heard good things. If you're a girl and you crossplay often this will be super useful. They sell breast binding vests in a variety of different styles, which certainly beats the hassle of worrying about how well your Ace bandages are holding up.

Are there any tutorials of not straight across bangs? I just need to know how to thin mine out. I've never cut a wig before so I'm nervous to do it before looking at tutorials. :/

I'm not trying to change the style too much just the bangs are huge and annoying, I don't even wear it ATM as they're always in my face when I do, and too thick to look natural even with a bobby pin holding them in place...
