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

Ali Express is ok.

I buy some stuff from there for work.

Delivery times can be a bit imaginative.

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.
