On E-bay, I found a halter top, a "punk" striped baby T, an Espirit knee skirt, a Lip Service straight skirt, a turtleneck, a short sleeve dress you could find at Hot Topic, and two maid accessories also labelled under 'fetish'. What's wrong with this picture? These are all under the keyword of 'gothic lolita' and are very clearly not. >_< All right, how many people understand what Gothic Lolita means and how many people are just trying to sell their crap?

While I'm at it, my apologies for those who are offended, but why are square dance dresses qualified as EGL? Honestly, it's cheap and not elegant at all. It's like buying a Prada bag from one of the street dealers in Manhattan for $10 and saying it's the real deal. I'm sure if you changed its appearance and modified the look, it'd turn into something quite nice, but until then, it's like saying a cow is a horse just because it also has four legs. (For the record, I love 'em both.)

I totaly aggree with you, all my finds are Unique & things I have bought on Ebay! However it does get dificult when you need a base piece such as a Crinoline thats the right size to fit under a dress, a matching headpiece or a decent GL-able shirt to wear under a Pinafore Dress... Since I cannot sew I get other people to alter my outfits for me, it would be so nice to have someone start a label which would be easily available by all who have an interest in Gothic Lolita Fashion. My ultimate dream is to open the first Gothic Lolita store in the UK if someone doesn't get there before me.

That would be really nice! I can definitely see an EGL store in and/or around Camden Market. I wouldn't be surprised actually if they had a few stuff there since in volume 8 of Gothic and Lolita Bible, they covered the area and most of London's hot spots. ^_^ It'd be really nice if you could do that.
