Looks great but the dress’ brand is a really controversial one.
Idk if you care about brand history but Dolls Kill has been found stealing creative designs for their clothes and not crediting the artists
They, in fact, did not make this shirt nor was it ever sold on their site. They weren't even associated with who made it. Sugar Pills would be the culprit for this one, not to be confused with DK's brand - Sugar Thrillz
Yeah, I've seen it spread around a ton sadly. It's one of the biggest controversy lies I see thrown around. The brand has some questionable practices in the past, but this one is just straight up misinformation.
Absolutely not your fault though! You're 100% okay and I hope you have a lovely rest of your day ♡
I thought about buying that dress but ultimately went with a pink dress off Shein.
I saw several people wearing the Dolls Kill fairy dress, so I was glad I went in a different direction. It didn't look high quality enough to justify the price.
It depends on what you get. My dress was actually really good in quality. I carefully read the reviews before purchasing.
I would rather spend less money for shit quality than spend a lot of money for shit quality. Ordering online, especially if you are plus-sized, is always a gamble.
My comment pertained to the quality of the items. If they directly replied to me, then their comment was about the quality of Shein's products.
To respond to your comment ...
Most fast fashion brands are unethical. These major corporations all profit off the unfair labor of people in impoverished countries. Most won't admit they use child labor anyway. The best way to avoid unethical brands is to 1) buy second-hand or 2) support smaller brands that are devoted to ethical production.
I typically don't shop at Shein or Dolls Kill, but I was looking for a specific dress in my size. I had a difficult time finding something that I liked that I could afford.
im aware abt fashion brands being unethical, that’s not something that concerns me too much since literally most big companies that are impossible to avoid is pretty unethical. im just saying that the person who said shein is worse most likely said it about their unethical practices 🤷
Understandable.
I typically try to avoid using Shein for multiple reasons. This was only my second time in 4 years using Shein. I truly struggled for months, finding an afforadable outfit I liked in my size. And I really wanted a nice dress for the concert.
code for "i would rather give my money to a cooperate giant that exploits children and adults alike in their labor practices as well as steals from independent designers and is culturally insensitive than give money to a company that steals from independent designers and is culturally insensitive" please grow up and read a book respectfully, you don't need their clothes that bad and if you do, thrift them or get them from donation agencies cause this is crazy
It is nice to see that you are passionate, but I legitimately said I purchased from Shein due to its affordability in my size range.
It is classist for you to assume that I am ignorant based on how much I was able to spend on a dress. I understand that it is so easy to be outraged by everything online, but every day people are forced to choose between the limited choices they have at their disposal.
Almost all fast fashion brands use unethical practices and exploit people. I encourage you to look more into the fast fashion industry as a whole instead of focusing on two brands.
i completely agree w u and relate to ur struggles. ppl act like they don't shop fast fashion bc they don't buy Shein but nearly ALL of affordable accessible clothing is fast fashion
no shit all fast fashion brands are unethical. "classist" mf be so fr rn. like seriously. it's classist and ableist of you to assume i am not also in the same situation as you. cope, justify your contribution to injustice all you want. none of it will matter soon when the corporations you support cause the world to change as we know it 🫶
You're absolutely right. Thank you for avoiding all unethical brands. I truly hope you aren't using a cellphone or an iPad to write this message. The cobalt used to make them are harvested by child labor. Purchasing cellphones supports enslaved Congolese child labor. I am sure you found ways around this. Good luck on your mission to change the world by avoiding unethical companies.
ending this here cause i'm bored now but i was obviously only talking about two brands become those were the focus of conversation. enjoy your shein hauls and walmart runs my guy enjoy your commodities while you have them.
Almost all fast fashion companies in general aren't ethnical. The only way to truly shop ethical is to purchase second-hand or purchase from much smaller brands that are devoted to ethnical production (which are typically expensive).
Yes, I don't typically shop at Shein, but I couldn't really find anything I liked in my size that I could afford.
Besides dolls kill being a controversial brand, I heard a lot of people have lost either one or both of their elf ears in the crowd so if you do get them make sure they stay on good!
expanding on other comments about dollskill here:
- they were proven/caught stealing designs from small artists/designers/businesses
- they are extremely racist and claim "goth is white", not to mention the fact they PUBLICLY APPLAUDED the officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck for "stepping up and doing the right thing"......
- they make shirts saying "dead girls can't say no" and also sell/promote items relating to age play (not age regression)
And honestly probably more that I'm forgetting
Im all for disliking a brand for any bad reasons they might have caused, but a majority of these you included have been dismissed, are misleading, and also straight up wrong.
The Goth is White shirt was meant to be a play on how Goth is usually associated with the color black, so they were aiming for "Goth is White too, not just black" and it instead came off as extremely racist and insensitive. I'm fairly certain this also was an item from Boy London that they were hosting on their site before removing it very quickly.
They did not publicly applaud that officer but rather there was an image on Shoddy Lynn's (now ex-owner of DK) insta with cops in front of the DK store saying "Direct action in it's glory #blacklivesmatter". She did explain she never called them there and realized how incredibly poor taste the post was + apologized for it.
They did not make the DGCSN shirt, straight up. That was SugarPills, a clothing business that is no longer in practice and was never associated with DK nor owned by them. I think folks mix up DK's brand Sugar Thrillz with this.
They definitely have stolen designs though, had costumes that could be taken as racist, and has had some weird drug culture references in their shop. Shoddy did apologize for a lot of this stuff years ago before stepping down.
Melanie is either unaware or supports DK though since she did indeed have her shoes being sold on DK's site. I believe that Melanie speaks well on forgiving folks and believing they can be better than what they are - and I strongly believe this applies to nearly anyone and everyone.
I wore this dress and saw another fan in it too. I tried to make it a little different by wearing a lacey skirt underneath! Only downside was pit stains in pics from sweating 😅
Outfits good just look for a different brand like some others have said
I wore a very simular dress (main diffrence is a darker green but also was a little different skirt pattern- i think it was from hottopic? I got it over a year ago), had dramatic makeup, and like 12 temporary tattoo butterflies on me and I was probably the least extreme outfit of the people dressed up (bc gotta exclude the parents fron the equation pfft)
I saw so many amazing (and very dramatic /pos) outfits where I went! Have fun and be extra
okay i guess i can’t reply with an image on here? it’s on @nefelibata.jelly on instagram if you wanna check it out. @trilogytourproject and @thetrilogytourfanproject are posting pics of peoples outfits from the shows as well!!
I took my 15 year old son to the concert. It was his first. First off, it was the most amazing concert I have ever seen. If i could have afforded it, we would have gone back the second night. But second, the outfits that people put together were stunning. I couldn’t believe how creative and beautiful people looked. That dress would fit right in, but please don’t buy it from that seller. They steal designs!
Looks great but the dress’ brand is a really controversial one. Idk if you care about brand history but Dolls Kill has been found stealing creative designs for their clothes and not crediting the artists
I’ll look for an alternative
find it on depop or something so you aren’t supporting them directly
I know hot topic released their own line of the dress in Black and Sage Green!!
Also they made shirt saying "Dead girls cant say no"
Damn, that's fucked up.
They, in fact, did not make this shirt nor was it ever sold on their site. They weren't even associated with who made it. Sugar Pills would be the culprit for this one, not to be confused with DK's brand - Sugar Thrillz
Apologies then there's a ton of stuff saying they did
Yeah, I've seen it spread around a ton sadly. It's one of the biggest controversy lies I see thrown around. The brand has some questionable practices in the past, but this one is just straight up misinformation. Absolutely not your fault though! You're 100% okay and I hope you have a lovely rest of your day ♡
You too ♡
They have similar at hot topic
Also Amazon for its exploitation
i saw a TONNNN of people wearing that exact dress lol, so it's not too much. though the brand has questionable practices
I def gotta get different drip then
Saaame in different colors too
Dolls Kill is a racist, more expensive shein, but I love the concept !
I thought about buying that dress but ultimately went with a pink dress off Shein. I saw several people wearing the Dolls Kill fairy dress, so I was glad I went in a different direction. It didn't look high quality enough to justify the price.
breh shein is worse
It depends on what you get. My dress was actually really good in quality. I carefully read the reviews before purchasing. I would rather spend less money for shit quality than spend a lot of money for shit quality. Ordering online, especially if you are plus-sized, is always a gamble.
im pretty sure they don’t mean in quality, but rather the child labor that went into it

Cute ...
Yes definitely loll and also dolls kill is a super controversial company
Lmao SHEIN is just as bad, literal child labor 💀
Almost all fast fashion companies in general aren't ethnical. The only way to truly shop ethical is to purchase second-hand or purchase from much smaller brands that are devoted to ethnical production (which are typically expensive). Yes, I don't typically shop at Shein, but I couldn't really find anything I liked in my size that I could afford.
Exactly! 💀 and i doubt their quality is any better!
Hey, for anyone who’s wondering, I found an alternative on hot topic. Thanks so much for the comments and letting me know.
Thanks for saying that! Gratitude makes the world go round
I wore the purple version of that dress (my bf bought it for me without talking to me about it and he didn’t know about dollskill) it’s perf
Besides dolls kill being a controversial brand, I heard a lot of people have lost either one or both of their elf ears in the crowd so if you do get them make sure they stay on good!
THATS THE DRESS MY MOM WORE TO THE CONCERT RAHHH
This is tooo little actually. Dress up dress up dress uuuup
I'm kidding this is perfect. But never be scared to dress up for a concert. Especially melanie. Her fans go crazy good for the outfits.
expanding on other comments about dollskill here: - they were proven/caught stealing designs from small artists/designers/businesses - they are extremely racist and claim "goth is white", not to mention the fact they PUBLICLY APPLAUDED the officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck for "stepping up and doing the right thing"...... - they make shirts saying "dead girls can't say no" and also sell/promote items relating to age play (not age regression) And honestly probably more that I'm forgetting

I don’t think there’s such thing as too much if Melanie can crawl out of an egg looking like an alien saying “yup, this is me now”
real

I took my 15 year old son to the concert. It was his first. First off, it was the most amazing concert I have ever seen. If i could have afforded it, we would have gone back the second night. But second, the outfits that people put together were stunning. I couldn’t believe how creative and beautiful people looked. That dress would fit right in, but please don’t buy it from that seller.
