Shopping Sellers Similar to Melody.C and Psycho Lab?

Jan 7, 2024

    1. Hi!

      I am a huge fan of "Victorian" style clothes (lots of detail, lace, overdresses + underdresses, etc.). Last year I discovered Melody.C and Psycho Lab, and since then I've purchased items from both and love their work.

      I am aware of a few artists on Instagram who make similar designs and I'm watching for an opportunity to purchase from them, so I don't have objections to ordering from smaller companies/single artists, but one of the things I really like about the above two is that the websites are well-designed and easy to understand (I can't really get my head around ordering anything on Taobao, alas). They also make shipping to the USA very easy.

      So any suggestions for sellers who make similar items?

      Thank you!

      Links to the websites I mentioned:
      Melody.C - Doll Wrokshop MELODY.C
      Psycho Lab - Doll Work shop PSYCHO LAB
      MoriTime (has some nice designs as well) - Mori Time

      Edited to add: I'm mostly thinking of SD10-13 sizes for girls, in case that helps!

    2. la-frigg works similarly to melody c and psycho lab and currently has a slightly victorian like dress up for order! Luts also has some clothes that fit that category and should work for the size and so does Sadol. Petitsoiree has some very beautiful dresses but most seem to be limited releases and they don’t tend to have a lot of frequent releases from what I can tell. Legenddoll carries a bunch of clothing from a variety of taobao stores so that might be a lot more easier to navigate.

    3. The dealer https://www.moonlightbjd.com/ has carried many of these! While they're generally limited and therefore not in stock, they do keep listings up for a little while and label who makes each piece so you can easily find more brands that make that style.

    4. Moonlight BJD is probably a good place to look at as they carry Melody C. and similar makers - a lot of it sells out fast, but you could at least get a few more names for your list to look for.

      Also seconding Legenddoll and their wide choice! Mori Time just resells from TaoBao and some of those things are definitely available for cheaper on LD, too, if you'd rather avoid Tao.

    5. I don’t personally have a lot of recommendations for that sort of style myself, but I will never miss an opportunity to plug Nalisinko Workshop. Maybe you’re already following them on IG. I have been for a good year before I even got into BJDs :dance They’ve recently started selling on Space Studio I believe, but nothing’s available currently. If you’re willing to dip your toes into Taobao, their shop has some of their old stuff up that you might be able to snag if you ask - just this month I was able to get a piece that was supposedly sold out in 2022 and they were super nice about it!
       
    6. Thank you all so much! I will definitely look into these options!

      I'm fully intending to make my own clothes, too (I have fabrics, but I need things like lace and ribbon). But having discovered the fun of having ready-made items, I'm more tempted by them now haha.
