This is a long shot but here goes.
I'm searching for an outfit (Himiko toga) for a granddaughter and I can't find anything outside China. From experience, that will fail.
For those into this sort of thing, where do you get your stuff from? |

I've had the same issue unfortunately.
China is the only real decent market for this but no way do I trust the delivery/sizes etc.
eBay may have some 2nd hand from someone in the UK.
But no matter how clean it is I don't fancy buying it this way  |

We are hardened charity shop shoppers so pre loved is ok but I just can't find anything and I don't have the money to take the chance on an import  |

I sympathize completely.
Some of the cosplay outfits are amazing. I'd love to have some in my collection.
There's a real gap in the market in the UK for this stuff. |

Both my girls are into this and bemoan the lack of anywhere in this country to buy stuff. I thought maybe some of the comic book stores may do it, but not it any of the shops we have tried Birmingham way. There is a definite gap in the market. I am still crossing my fingers for China to send what Ive ordered over |

All the stuff I ordered arrived in good time and was pretty good quality. Ordered a large which would guess was a size 10/12. I would be happy to order again. |
