/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm a cosplayer exploring lolita fashion. Since I haven't been researching the fashion that long, I can't tell a replica bag from a real one. I'm fine with shelling out for brand dresses but I'm trying to accessorize on the cheap, at least until I get a few solid coords together. I'm looking at bags on ebay and I thought these were really cute, but they must be replicas right? I saw the melty moon and star-shaped bag with star embellishments at the straps, I think they are Angelic Pretty ripoffs. Are these AP/BtSSB ripoffs too? Is buying a replica bag less frowned-upon than a replica dress, or should I avoid it entirely? Hard to find offbrand purses/bags that work with lolita, anyone know any good stores that don't require a shopping service?
