*if you dont mind me asking...*

when ordering online, how much are you guys willing to pay? Is all of your GL wear fairly expensive? (im talkin bout when you buy dresses and stuff, not accessories)
Ive never seen a dress under $120.00.The dress im going to order soon is 215.00.....><, yea, i know...an ungodly amount.im still lookin 'round to see if i can find anything a lil less to suit my fancy.
i guess the only thing i really dont like about the style is that the clothing tends to be so expensive, and thats no fun at all =(

*sigh*

Um, where are you ordering it from? I haven't seen many good gothic lolita dresses on Yahoo Japan under about 15000-24000yen. The most I'd spend on a skirt it 14000, and on a top 10000, so a dress worth 24000 is sort of like having both? Also depends which brand, or if you're ordering a custom-made dress from a person, the complexity and materials could make it worth $215. I guess you just have to pay good money for good clothing sometimes...

Wow that is cute o.O I've never seen that before!
Huhm.. I have had made for me three dresses from shadowfae.com, all very cute, and all around $60 each. Sometimes even its free shipping if the month is right, but even then its only about 5 bucks. But I think if you really want a detailed dress, then youre going to have to pay a bit more. ^^;; If you're trying to save money, I think I'd skip on Kazuko Ogawa right now and perhaps look around a bit more. (Though that one is so cute! If I had money I'd buy that. >>)
Also though, is sewing an option? I just bought enough materials (fabric, lace, buttons, ribbon) for two dresses for under $30. And not even on the dollar a yard rack at Wal mart! You might consider that too?

U_U yesh, it is quite pricey. I'm getting a dress for $100 when the cite starts accepting orders again :0

But I'd imagine, even though a lot of thinsg can be expensive, its all worth it in the end :D

my first EGL dress i got from kazuko ogawa. it was custom-made, and it cost like $260. i'm not really prepared to ever spend that much again (despite it being my dad's money).

my next two were from shadowfae, and i think they were $60-70 each. custom-made, and they're pretty nice.
