Anna House help, please?

Hi everyone!
As a new Lolita, it makes sense to me to build a basic wardrobe before splashing out on expensive brands, and I was taken in by some of the items from Anna House.

It's kinda long, so I put it under a cut (Sorry if that wasn't the right thing to do) ^^'



I've searched through Google to find reviews, but couldn't find any for the specific items I'm interested in. So I've got a few questions really.
♥ - Does anyone own these items, and if they do, could you tell me what kind of quality the materials are please?

I was looking at the measurements, and decided that XL would be my best fit. The measurements say 40" bust/ 35.5" waist. Um, for lack of better wording, do the measurements on the site run correctly? (I'm  39"/34") or do they run small? I'm thinking in white, but don't know if it's a solid-white or a see-through white (yuck!)

Again with this top. The measurements run pretty much exactly to my own this time, so would it best to leave this one out (or buy it and use it as inspiration to drop a few lbs? xD) I'm thinking in pink this time, y'know, if I should buy it.

I'm thinking these skirts:

Now, I'd buy these skirts in the knowledge that they would be kinda... short on me (I'm 5ft 11") but, that could be fixed with underskirts, right? (I've a lovely friend who can sew)
But would anyone be able to tell me what quality these are, like, is the material really thin and wrinkly?

I like both pairs (in pink! as you may have guessed, I LOVE pink) seeing as my feet are 25.5cms, would it make more sense to buy them in size 41 (26cm) as opposed to size 40 (25.5cms)?

I like this bow.
I also like the look of bonnets. A friend of mine has loaned me one in the past, and I think they look nice one me, so could anyone recommend a place to buy them? (Preferably in the UK, but that's not necessary)

I've also got a few petticoats and other things, so I don't feel I need to buy any more of them just yet.

Sorry for the long rambly post. It seemed to make sense to ask those who are more, well, 'experienced' Lolitas.

Thank you for any help ^__^
