Since there's quite a lot of interest in Chinese-inspired cyberpunk and adjacent aesthetics, just wanted to share these neat "Chinese style meets the Matrix"-esque looks from popular brand 大青龙肆/Da Qing Long Si. There's also an English website here.

The fact that etsy now allows dropshipping while still claiming that they don't is so audacious, the site is literally worthless now. I feel so bad for the artists having to compete with floods of dropshippers and people shelling out $80 for a bjd outfit being like "it's worth it to support local artisans" when in reality they're buying an item from taobao that actually costs $15 and is sold for $25 on aliexpress and ebay. Not even joking the etsy markups are that bad. I wouldn't even hate these taobao resellers if they didn't try to scalp the prices so much and were honest about being resellers instead of making it look like they are the ones making the clothes. Not to mention all the recasts on there...

Anyway, here's some of my fav legit doll clothing shops on etsy:

RopitasKawaii: pullip, blythe, and rainbow high lolita dresses from Spain

AtelierMilabrocc: casual pullip, blythe, and barbie clothes from Poland

Yukijiro: pullip lolita dresses from Hong Kong

Cottonhoney: cute 1/3 and 1/4 bjd clothes from Thailand

HelloCoolCat: clothes and supplies for pullip and blythe from Taiwan (they also have a website that has more stuff for bjds)

Toocuteclub: printed graphic clothes for rainbow high and 1/3 bjd from USA

Ninaherisson: 1/3 bjd alt clothes from USA

Balljointedsoulmates: cute casual 1/3 bjd and minifee clothes from Austria

TiffyCuppyCake: 1/3 and 1/4 bjd sweaters/sweatshirts and hoodies from USA

MilkyWayDreamsFR: cute 1/4 bjd accessories from France

DollishSweets: cute 1/4 and 1/3 bjd clothes, accessories, and eyes from USA

PetiteBonita: cute 1/4 bjd outfits from Indonesia (includes custom measurements)

EliteDollWorld: casual smart doll clothes from USA

YumeWearShop: cute and casual 1/3, 1/4, and 50cm bjd clothes from the Netherlands

HauntCoutureAtelier: monster high, rainbow high, and barbie clothes from USA

Shout out to these artists! If anyone else has more let me know!

Qipao/Cheongsam Taobao Shop Recs

A while ago I received a direct message asking for recs on where to buy qipao/cheongsam, and I figured I’d make a post for others who’d also be interested.

First of all - I think qipao should be tried on and bought in-person if at all possible, since having the right fit is important - especially if it’s for a formal occasion like a wedding. However, since that’s often not possible, I’ve compiled a list of online shop recs, mainly for more casual occasions.

Since English-language online qipao shops are plentiful and easy to find, I’ll be focusing this list on Taobao shops only. Please note that these are my personal recs, based on my own aesthetic preferences. Thus most of the recs are for shops focused on retro-inspired, minguo-style qipao made using the traditional 平裁/pingcai (flat tailoring) method. Also, I have not actually purchased qipao from any of these shops (all my qipao were bought in person) - this is based mainly on how appealing I find the designs.

1. 嬉姷/Xi You - Elegant qipao modelled closely on historical designs, mainly from the Republican era/minguo. Careful attention paid to historical details. My favorite qipao shop to browse for fun:

2. 海上芳时/Shanghai Fancy - Specializes in chic minguo-style designs of the 1920s-1940s. Recently came out with a neat art deco-inspired collection:

3. 唐之语/Tang Zhi Yu - Retro-style qipao in a variety of bold prints, with a focus on the form-fitting designs of the 1950s-1960s, including those from the film “In the Mood for Love”:

4. 繁莳/Fancy Dream - Dreamy, delicate retro-inspired qipao and modified qipao. Also has a nice selection of winter majia (vests):

5. Top Ulara - A large selection of classic, retro-style qipao with a hint of glamour. Offers lots of long/thick/layered qipao suitable for colder weather:

6. 梦回故里/Menghui Guli - Nostalgic, conservative retro-style qipao for all seasons. Old-fashioned in a good way:

7. 柳园旗袍/Liuyuan Qipao - Retro-style qipao with bold and interesting prints, in styles from the 1910s to the 1960s. The shop currently doesn’t show any products, but hopefully it’ll restock soon:

8. 限时赏味/Xianshi Shangwei - Streamlined, retro-style qipao in subtle colors and prints that exemplify understated elegance:

9. 茉茉/Momo - Tons of options for simple, cute, and casual retro-style qipao suitable for daily wear. Designs tend towards monochromes and all-over prints. Another review/rec here:

10. 珞珞如石/RoseEra - Simple yet elegant retro-style and contemporary qipao. I love the shop’s use of sheer fabrics & layering in its designs:

11. 向南飞FLY - Offers a selection of casually stylish retro-style qipao and modified qipao for daily chic:

12. 川黛/Chuan Dai - Soft, feminine, pastel-infused qipao & modified qipao in retro-inspired and contemporary styles:

13. 四斤自制/Sijin Studio - Creative, avant-garde takes on (modified) qipao & qipao-inspired outfits:

14. 密扇/Mukzin - Colorful, playful, and irreverent modified qipao and qipao-inspired outfits. There’s also an English website here:

If you like the above qipao but still want an English website, there are several Taobao resellers that carry similar designs - for example, Beth and Brian Qipao.

Finally, when it comes to in-person shops, I want to highlight Xiangjiang Silk Co., a relatively new boutique in New York City specializing in actual vintage 1950s-1960s qipao. There’s an article here on the boutique and its founder Heather Guo (who was featured in Vogue). Store visits are appointment-only, so you’ll have to reach out to Heather via her social media if you want to drop by.

If anyone has reviews of the above shops and/or more qipao shop recs, please share! ^^

Bonus: I also have online shop recs for hanfu (1, 2), modified hanfu/hanyuansu (1, 2), hanfu accessories, weimao, and hair accessories.

The new Dinosaw toys we have previously reported on are now available to purchase on Taobao!

Of the new toys, this is the "Meet the Mane 5" collection. It consists of five 3-inch posable figures of the Mane 5 ponies. An additional Izzy with crystal hair is included in the blind box release of this set. These photos are used with permission thanks to Double Dove in our Discord server.

At first glance, the figures are very similar to the Hasbro-made ones, but they do have a few differences such as rounder heads and different hair and wing molds. The plastic used also appears to be of cheaper quality.

There are two different releases for this set. One includes the Mane 5 in one single package which costs ¥59 Chinese Yuan ($8 USD), and the other shown here is a blind box which includes collectible cards and an additional Izzy figure. It costs ¥99 ($14 USD).
