EGL Shopping Guide
I've noticed a lot of the online shopping lists for Aristocrat and Lolita stores are a little outdated. Since a lot of people in my local community ask about where to order things I thought I would compile a list of shops, both US and Overseas, that are actually still active.
Last updated 9-12-11
This list is a work-in-progress.
* Indicates the store accepts International Order.
You can still order from stores who do NOT accept international orders; however, you must use a shopping service.
If you have a site you'd like to suggest please post it in the comment section. Thanks!
