Thirty dollars for shipping, it looks expensive but in fact it’s normal because I’m from France and the clothes comes from Japan (I think). Anyway, good products, well sewed, even if my pants were a bit short to my calves because I’m athletic. Still a good experience.

My daughter loves the website
My daughter loves the website, we have ordered about 3x times there, it is expensive, but it is worth it, the items are of a good quality and the customer service is so very kind and attentive, we have had to contact them several times and always got answer very quick and super polite! Pre orders take a long time, so be aware of that, may take months!!

Literally couldnt pay?
Literally couldnt pay?
Both me and my dad tried multiple times to buy the sinwavy~Vintage lolita wig (double ponytail roman roll hair) and it just told us something went wrong while trying to process the payment. We even tried on different devices but to no avail. I know i have enough to pay, and we double chevked multiple times to see that we wrote in our card info correctly. Genuenly made me so sad sknce i really wanted that wig.

Denied a refund when the size chart was wrong on their own website
I bought two pairs of shoes that didn't fit because the size chart of their own website was wrong. Now they will only refund one of two pairs of shoes. This place is a scam don't shop here.

Best Taobao Reseller I've Bought From
42lolita was my introduction to lolita fashion. I was dreaming of getting into this fashion since I was little, but couldn't afford it as prices are steep (sort of a luxury fashion unless you find good deals secondhand, or from other parts of the world than Japan). I've bought from 42lolita 5 separate times now, starting in 2023 and have been happy with each and every order. Something someone may be concerned about is taking full payment for preorders, or preorders taking longer than expected. To note, this is because 42lolita is NOT a BRAND, rather they stock and order items from Chinese Indie Lolita brands who typically sell on Taobao. Usually, Taobao Resellers collect full payment because Taobao brands take a deposit and payment in installments which can be harder to keep track of (though, if you really want to, you can do this straight with the brand through Taobao if you're okay with it of course), so they do that work for you. Unfortunately, sometimes brands can have a not so great reputation for certain things like shipping time (Krad Lanrete), or sizing (Alice Girl) despite great quality. There is a notion that Chinese clothing is always poor quality, but buying from indie chinese brands via 42lolita has proven this incorrect from me. Be aware shipping can be steep since unless you're in China you're likely buying to an overseas or far off country, ESPECIALLY if you choose DHL as your shipping option (they are expensive overall, but trustworthy). Thanks to 42lolita, I was able to get into Elegant Gothic Lolita Fashion when I wasn't making much money, without sacrificing quality (99% of the time), and now I still have another option of somewhere to buy though I can afford Japanese brands!

No issues
Everything I've ordered has been good quality, shipped quicker than expected, and fit well. As a dude it's a pretty big gamble to order dresses sight unseen. They have a good mix of expensive products and cheaper products and provide plenty of information about fabric and sizing.
I haven't had as much luck with other Taobao resellers.

I’ve purchased dresses and accessories…
I’ve purchased dresses and accessories through here multiple times over the last year or so, and the service has always been amazing! They are quick to ship, and the price mark up is not as bad as other Taobao resellers. I only had to contact customer service for one order when things took a while, but I received a quick answer :)
Everything was nicely packaged each time and no issues came up, I also used BuyForMe in an email to get a dress I really wanted listed, and it was put up quickly.
