Shopping Clothes for 75cm BJD / Ancient Traditional Clothes

I just ordered my first 75cm Idealian BJD, and now the anxious wait begins! I won’t be getting my doll until mid or even late next year, but of course, I’ve already started shopping for clothes.
Within just a month, I somehow managed to spend over $400 AUD on outfits… and I’m still not satisfied. I think I was a bit too quick to buy, and now I’m regretting some of my choices after discovering a few better-looking doll clothing sites.

So far, I’ve only bought two shirts (one black and one white), a wig, a black jacket, black pants, and a pair of black shorts — and somehow that all added up to $400+! Seriously?!

Then I stumbled upon Theodore BJD Streetwear on Instagram, and wow — their modern fashion is incredible! Who knew a black suit and a black tie could look that good on a doll?

Has anyone here ever bought from Theodore Streetwear? Everything seems sold out right now, but I’m hoping they restock soon. If only I could turn back time… I definitely wouldn’t have rushed into those first purchases!

This is probably why I’m so addicted to BJDs. I may not be the best-looking person myself, but I want my dolls to be absolutely stunning!

I think I’ll eventually need at least three more dolls — two dressed in modern fashion, and another in traditional ancient Chinese clothing.

Lately, I’ve been so tempted to get a traditional Chinese outfit for my doll because I want to base the character on Han Li from the Chinese donghua (anime) “A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality.” I actually binge-watched the anime on YouTube all the way up to episode 166 within 3-4 months! I highly recommend this series and also "Renegade Immortal" - It really made me fall in love with Chinese culture — and even got myself interested in meditation and Buddhism.

For those of you who’ve bought ancient-style clothing for your dolls — any regrets? Is it hard to put it on your doll? Or was it totally worth it?
