>>8672004I think it comes down to Moitie just being so damn expensive and putting out so few items. Also reletively small sizing.
Moitie is my absolute favorite brand. 2/3 of my items are from them. I'm consistently frustrated with their lack of releasing of smaller items. I want rings, bags, and socks and they never seem to release these items. I'm also right on the cusp of fitting their unshirred items with an 88cm bust and 72cm waist. I also have the misfortune of having a wide ribcage/underbust measurement at 79-80cm. So as much as I would love to buy their unshirred pieces and coats I always have to worry that they will never fit!
So with Indie brands (like Dark Box/ Kinyo666 mentioned above) putting out fantastic higher quality than normal Taobao pieces that I know will fit, I'd rather buy from them.
It makes me really sad that Moitie hasn't really come into the world of the rest of the brands by slightly lowering prices and making themselves more visible (I know they are easily available by CDJapan etc) but they now lack any of their own store fronts and a large overseas following. Moitie is just so damn iconic for me and it's the brand that got me into Gothic Lolita so I have some serious feels about this. Sorry for the essay!
