Some people find it full of bargains, other think it full of scammers.
Personally I think both opinions are right and wrong. Yes there are scammers, like Milanoo, and you shouldn't really look for Lolita dresses on it but, if you have basic sewing skills and a good amount of creativity, you can find a lot of loliable garments in the vintage section.
Lately I've been looking for a velvet dress, not a very smart decision since the weather is getting warmer and I won't be able to wear it till next fall, and I find a few dresses that are worth a try.
The first one is a dress with a black velvet bodice and the skirt in what looks like taffeta.
I made a sketch on how I would transform it and I think it would look absolutely perfect for a Classic/Gothic outfit.
As you can see I removed the sleeves, cut the skirt shorter and made a swirl design on it.
In my head it's made by cutting the sleeves in the chosen design and "applique-ing" (is this a real verb or I made it up?) on the skirt. I also added some of the taffeta on the neckline because it looked a bit too low.
I would then create an head-dress with the remaining fabric and maybe a rose corsage (no sketch sorry).
What do you think, could it be considered Lolita?
Another dress I found is a full velvet dress with a lower waist line that I think would be perfect to create an OP similar to this one by Mary Magdalene

And the best part? Both dresses are under £20. Pretty good, right?
So as you can see Ebay can some little treasures, butnot only dresses. In fact the website is a great source of accessories too, such as tights, hats, even shoes, and the prices are ridiculous

This won't be the only post on Ebay, I'd love to share all my little finds through time and I'm curious if other Lolis use this website for their shopping.
