I've been trying to find online shops that sell similar fabrics that places like Baby, Angelic, and Meta use for their lolita dresses and skirts. Does anyone have any ideas or links for places that sell fabrics online? (Aside from JoAnne and Hancock).

You won't find any of the special print fabrics those companies use since they are especially made for them with their logo's. You may find some prints from other places that don't have their logo's such as some of the parfait print A+Lidel used and such at Shugale's Print Section or Shugale's Normal Lolita Section. For either or you would need a shopping service. You can try perhaps finding similar fabrics online like ebay but it's unlikely you would find them at Joanns and Hancock

Shugale is great, as are Super Buzzy and Repro Depot if you're not looking for "really lolita" prints; they do a lot of adorable Japanese import fabrics, though!

Ah! Superbuzzy is an excellent site! All of the fabric is imported from Japan, so a lot of it is great for Lolita styles. The store is located in California.

I just bought fabric from there and I love it! Also, the shipping was pretty fast.

These are the two styles I bought:
I'm using this blue Alice in Wonderland fabric for a dress. And this grey Alice in Wonderland fabric for a skirt.

I'm in love with that gray fabric<3

I'm definitely buying from them once I get enough money...
but sadly they only have 0.5 yards of fabric left of the print I really like.
How soon would they get more? Sorry for the n00b question =/

I bought some fabric that screams sweet lolita in a Ragshop last year!
Those types of fabrics are hard to come buy, so I was just really lucky,
But you'll come across them in American fabric stores once in a while..
you just have to be patient and keep looking =]
