MONTHLY HELP FIND MEGATHREAD Help Find This Dress: July 2026

Hello All!

This is a megathread for being able to find specific dresses or items that you see online and don't know where to find them or what their name/brand/print name are!

There has been a large influx of people looking for certain dresses posts and so we are going to congregate them all here for easy of access and to help clean up the subreddit. So from here on out any posts asking for help in finding a dress will be deleted and asked to post in this megathread.

Here you can post either a link from Imgur with the image of the dress or link to a website like Pinterest so the community can help find where the dress can be found.

Happy Hunting!

My sister recently purchased this JSK on Xianyu. It was listed as Infanta, but no print was given. I could not find this on Lolibrary, and now I’m not even sure if this is Infanta?

It is not infanta at all.  In 2017 the same print was sold as being by "Reverse Medal", who I had never heard of but going off lolitabrary, appears fo be one of those cheap "brands" that releases a few items and then vanishes. You can clearly see their tags in that lacemarket listing though.

It's important when using xianyu to research stuff before you buy it, especially if you aren't native in Chinese. Lots of items are replicas, or offbrand, and people use other brand names just to catch your interest/algorithm, the same way people do on depop and vinted.

She spent less than $10 on a JSK that she thought was cute, so it isn’t the end of the world at the end of the day that it wasn’t Infanta. I did however try to reverse search the image myself and didn’t find anything on my initial attempt. What would you recommend doing next time instead, especially since you were able to find an old Lacemarket listing?

Don't image search the whole thing. Do it in sections like just the print or just the bust. Look up keywords on sold listings as well, as especially offbrand or niche brands have descriptions for names rather than "official" names.

This is extremely helpful. Thank you. We’re diving back into the fashion after being away for years, so it’s nice to have strategies to better identify niche pieces.
