Anna House: Diffuse Pretty Dreams are a Hong Kong based Lolita Fashion brand:
I’ve purchased two blouses and a pair of shoes from Anna House as part of a large group order that also purchased skirts and I have seen in person a few of their dresses.
Example of Anna House’s sweet style dress.
Quality:Most people equate Anna House as almost “brand quality” because of their use of cotton, torchon and other high quality laces and the professional finishing of their garments and design. They have a few dresses that could be called Replicas but for the most part they are original lolita designs.
Style: Sweet (if you like Angelic Pretty and Baby, the Stars Shine Bright) and Classic (if you like Victorian Maiden)
Cost: All prices listed in HONG KONG DOLLARS– Do not be confused by the $700 HKD Price tags;
Eg: Dress A: $550 Hong Kong Dollars = $70 USD / $71 AUD approx
You could order a whole outfit, from dress, petticoats, bloomers, blouse and shoes realistically for around $200 (US/AUD) – thus the popularity of Anna House, it’s affordable and fantastic quality. If you need basics such as blouses and petticoats this is the place to get them for under $40.
Shipping: EMS tracking – Ships Internationally
Payment:Paypal is the most efficient way (Remember to calculate 4% PP fee)
Communication:Prompt, at times broken English but understandable – they announce on their website about any periods of absence/holidays. Website is a mix of both English and Chinese but their English Ordering Page is very helpful and well structured.
Reliability: I have myself conducted a group order (which it pays to do to lower shipping costs) for shoes and clothing from Anna House and I have found them to be prompt, courteous and efficient. I have ordered an out of stock size and they delivered and communicated promptly. However, sometimes in a large order that requests custom sizes (not the standard stock sizes) they occasionally muddle it up but not as often as I’m told Fan + Friend do for custom sizes.
I give Anna House a solid 10/10
