Westmend | Lolita Style | Vancouver
Craving the Harajuku Girls' look? You can now get the look at the quirky boutique WESTMEND in Metrotown.
The store feels like stepping into a very different (and very pink) world of fashion. The line is based in Hangzou, near Shanghai, but Westmend borrows its style from Japanese street-style youth, known as the Gothic or Classic Lolita style. In layman’s terms, that means lots of frilly, frothy dresses; ribbons; patterned peacoats and lace. While the store can’t promise you a place in Gwen Stefani’s dance troupe, the quintessentially feminine style will likely make you feel like a living doll.
Visit Westmend's official site @ www.westmend.com (In Mandarin).

The dresses are lovely, although sizes tend to be small. I've posted photos of my Westmend purchases on my Gothic Lolita fashion website, www.lacarmina.com
Thank you for your comment, and the added info on the sizing of dresses at Westmend.
Btw, your go-loli fashion blog's fabulous!
im just wondering if you know the average price there at westmend??im trying to find a job and save up for sure for a dress but i have no idea how much its going to cost ^^
You might want to contact Carmen at La Carmina Lolita blog. She posted a comment above. She has been to Westmend and can probably help you with pricing there. Her contact info at her blog is: http://www.carmenyuen.com/contact.php
"classy Harajuku girls" isn't the phrase for Lolita fashion, imo.
Whisper, you are absolutely right. Missed that oxymoron. Stand corrected!
