Ebay. I love ebay for everything. Only because the original designers do not make my size and if they do their product still doesnt feel right. I have a very very small waist but I have large hips and chest. Im super curvy and most lolita designers even have their large and extra large run small.

 

I love the custom made stuff on ebay because I can spend under 70 for something that i can choose the color of, embelishments on and  that fits me perfect.

Gmarket. It's really cheap but you need to watch out for the quality sometimes.
Other then that I like the antique shops in my area. Vintage is great because you can find things cheap and since they are always getting new stuff in it's an adventure every visit.

I do shop at a place that sells clothing and fabric by the lb here in New York. They get literally tons of clothing from resale venues, closed stores and donations.

 

It smells like an attic and you have to get their early because they get crowded. I started giving tours there and helping people shop. Their are only bins to look through and no mirrors.

 

Everything is search and seizure then you weight and pay.

 

Ive found betsey johnson there, gap, ann taylor, dkny, style and co. ... and more. Vintage things too. The only thing is everything is mixed so it takes up alot of time to look through.

 

I will post pictures of what ive found
