Where can you buy lolita dresses in New York?

There are no physical stores wher you can buy Lolita clothing in New York, or anywhere in the United States for the time being. However the Japanese memorabelia store in NYC, Kinokuniya, sold lolita clothing from BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT [babyssb] for a brief period of time in the past, but have yet to restock. All that is left are some Charmy Kitty golden scepters that are over 3 or 4 years old or so.

To aquire Lolita clothing you can order them directly from Japan (BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT ships internationally). A handful of other Japanese lolita brands also ship internationally, and more are joining the global market as the numbers of Western Lolitas grow all around the world.

There are also US based Lolita brands that have online shops as well, one example is In the Starlight which has a wide variety of inexpensive lolita clothing to get any beginner lolita started, or for the experienced lolita to buy her basics (bloomers, petticoats and such), if not anything else.

Maybe one day a Lolita shop might open up in New York or New York City? Who knows? Only time will tell.

[There are also plans for BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT to open up a boutique in San Fransisco, California sometime by September 2009]
