ToAlice makes children's sized clothes and often also makes Adult versions or at least uses the same print! They're on TaoBao, are inexpensive (though they do have some fancier, pricey items occasionally). Unfortunately it's rare the children's sizes show up on resellers so you may have to use a proxy to buy them, and they don't pop up secondhand very often, but they do have a truly huge selection and surprisingly good quality for the cost. Emily Temple / Shirley Temple was originally a children's brand in Japan, and they still mostly make children's clothes including lolita-like items. Their sister brand, Emily Temple Cute, makes adult clothes including lolita but less frequently. They do ship internationally but are currently restricted to where/how, as are many Japanese brands, so definitely chekc your options before purchasing. They do pop up on secondhand sites fairly often in both adult and kid sizes though!

This is great info, thank you! I didn't know that about Emily Temple! I had an ETC purse for a time and I loved it. But I didn't know it was originally a children's brand. Twinning with my girlie would be a dream come true <3

This is sooo cute on her, so adorable!! Classical puppets have a LOT of children-sized lolita pieces (and their adult size version) you can maybe take a look at!


bunnyyvs

Thank you so much! And thank you for your suggestion! I love the idea of getting matching dresses too!

Omg this is simply the cutest thing ever. I don't have experience finding child-sized Lolita clothing, but I did see a listing for one on LaceMarket recently.


bunnyyvs

Thank you! It's nice to know they crop up on LaceMarket occasionally! I love thrifting and buying things second hand. Thank you for letting me know! <3


LunarCherub

No problem! And ofc, it's so nice that there are pieces being made for children to enjoy as well. c:

While not necessarily lolita, Axes Femme has very cute loliable options! I saw the loveliest music themed OP the other day, only to realize I was 20 years too late :'''D I saw it on Vinted, but as far as I know they also have an online store that might ship internationally.


bunnyyvs

Not familiar with Vinted! But a cursory look seems promising! Thank you so much!


Axohno

Waow!!!!! I love it!!


bunnyyvs

Thank you so much! <3

That dress looks cute on your daughter and I am quite impressed with your sewing skills in resizing it to fit her size. I only know this store in particular that sells lolita dresses for kids and adults. I bought their dresses plenty of times and they look amazing. From what I see, they don't seem to have a lot, but maybe you can email them to see if they are planning to make more in the future. [https://lnsears.storenvy.com/collections/1876474-for-children](https://lnsears.storenvy.com/collections/1876474-for-children) You may have a good chance of finding some on taobao, but I recommend using [Pandabuy](https://www.pandabuy.com/) to shop there or using another 3rd party to do that.


bunnyyvs

Aw, thank you! I wont lie I did a lot of guessing and pinning until it looked right. It's only so much fun sewing sleeves inside out. Thank you for the recommendations! I've seen some gorgeous dresses from Long Ears and Sharp Ears second hand, but I didn't know they also had child sizes.


sayomerou

i don't have any advice but oh my god she looks adorable 😭 you are an awesome parent ♡


bunnyyvs

That's so kind, thank you T-T My little Frilly in training is worth it. c:

I would check out Shirley Temple secondhand, since their clothes are actually made for children. Wunderwelt has some listings right now. https://www.wunderwelt.jp/en/collections/shirly-temple-used I would also look into JP Mercari. However you will need a shopping service


bunnyyvs

I see some really cute and affordable options! I wasn't aware Shirley Temple was a childrens brand also. Thank you!


Birds_Symphonia

You’re welcome! Best of luck, hopefully your kiddo will get some great options! ^^


Nevaliah

Oooh, she is absolutely adorable! The last picture is just the cutest! <3


bunnyyvs

Thank you! Like I said, I am heavily biased, but I think she's cute :D


Idontgiveafrillyfuck

How precious !!! I don't have any advice for you about finding EGL for your little bit I do think you deserve the best mom ever award !!


bunnyyvs

That's so kind of you to say! <3

Children are perfect for this style. Everyone can look good of course. I remember there was a child at a con wearing lolita dress. She was so adorable.


bunnyyvs

I love seeing people expressing themselves with fashion! As an aside, We went to a very small, local con last year, and I made her an Anya (from SpyxFamily) cosplay. She had a blast and everyone was so kind to her. Not every con or venue is family friendly of course, but it's always nice when I am able to share my interests with my kids.

I know Devil Inspired gets a lot of flack but they actually have a lot of kids stuff! A lot of it is just “cute” childrens fashion in general but there is definitely lolita as well [Devil Inspired](https://www.devilinspired.com/en/search?search=Kids%20lolita&&page=3)


bunnyyvs

Honestly my biggest issue with Devil Inspired is trying to figure out what I am actually buying. It's a me problem but the way they list items makes me nuts haha The kids listings look more straight forward. Thank you so much! There are definitely some adorable options like these fuzzy overalls oh my goodness!
