For blouses, look out for sleeves that are gathered at the shoulder, a bit of length might be compromised, but the gather does give a bit of extra wiggle room for your shoulders. Meta's blouses are also wider set in the shoulders.

For OPs, go for cuts like pic related. Lower necklines can usually accommodate a centimeter or two of extra shoulder as well provided that your bust is comfortably below the maximum measurement.

I am a poorfag from a shitty Slav country so I didn't know about lolita before this.
I had ordered a Milanoo dress for prom some years ago and the result wasn't too terrible, luckily. Same cut as some MM OPs (pic related), except peach pink and floral.
I only received the top part of the dress (blue in the pic), really wrinkly. My mum ironed it and asked our seamstress neighbour to make a petticoat for it. The material was a cheapy-looking cotton but in the end it hadn't been that bad-looking. I did stand out a lot because everyone else was wearing skin-tight gowns and cocktail dresses, but all in all it wasn't terrible.
