About Our Store

In the Starlight has been an online shop for Elegant Gothic Lolita clothing since August 2003. Our workshop is north of Chicago, Illinois.

For most of our first five years, we offered pre-set styles in a catalog, custom-made to the customer's measurements.

Starting in July, 2008, In the Starlight now offers mostly pre-made items, although most are still custom-fitted for the buyer. With this new system, we hope to be able tooffer greater variety in styles and fabrics.


About Us

"We", by the way, are Mara and Leah, sisters who share a love for Japanese fashion, Japanese music, and Anime. Every item we sell is made by the two of us personally in our workshop.

If you e-mail us, you will get a reply from Leah, who handles customer service, but Mara is behind many of our most popular items, including our petticoats.

Opening a shop was Mara's idea in 2003 when she first discovered lolita fashion =D
Our favorite brands are Angelic Pretty, Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and Mary Magdalene, and Innocent World.

People often ask if we fight a lot since we've worked together so closely for five years. Nope -- it's been kind of awesome, actually!
We will update this page soon with photos of us!!
