I bought a dress from honestdragonchina on eBay recently. I can only afford to buy about one dress a year and my old one was too small, so I bought a black one which looked really pretty.
So I got the dress, and when I opened it, I was so bitterly disappointed. It was a cheap fabric, and really ugly. It didn't fit even though it was supposedly made to fit my measurements, and it hardly looked like the picture at all. I spent around £70 on it (what is that, about $120?). I was really, really upset. *cry*
[sorry if you think I'm overreacting.. but, ugh, it makes me upset even to look at the pictures..]
Anyone else had bad experiences?

yea, i've heard some pretty bad things about honestdragonchina xD I myself don't think i'll ever risk my money on an expensive dress, especially on one that's a cheap knock-off of a brand design.

omg meta has FAST shipping. prices are high but some are ok. i got a dress that can be a jsk too for 80 usd (that came to 119 with shipping) i got it in less than a week and the pacakge was so cute. the dress was from the winter sale

I actually heard honestdragonchina is ok to go to for cosplay, but I'm not so certain if their loli items are that great...cheap materials etc. Apparently many people, esp. independent seamstresses, aren't too happy about honestdragonchina stealing photos that belong to others.

I got a dress in 3 days! and right before christmas too. It makes up for the prices.

Don't order form hot topic (like thats not obvious...) the lolita style dresses they have are very short and very cheaply made. Haven't oredered from anywhere else. In The Starlight's things look, for the most part, very cheaply made. I wouldn't order from there.
HonestDragonChina doesn't really have much that I like (I like the really intricate things) so I've never considered ordering. I thought of it a lot about a year ago. Thank god I didn't order!

Has anyone ever ordered from rakuen fashion? I'll have enough to buy a 120 dollar dress from them this weekend, and it seems like a good deal....you get the dress, petticoat and matching headdress, but I'm also a bit wary of it BECAUSE it's such a good deal...
So I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them....if they turn out to be crap, I would have save up 300$ for a nice, good quality Meta or Angelic dress. sweatdrop

not everything on inthestarlight is bad. some stuff is cute. and the seller is nice. we have been talking a while. i hate all the dresses they carry though. they have added some new cute skirts.
