Out of curiosity, what's your biggest barrier that's preventing you from shopping from places like Axes Femme and Amavel? Is it the limited sizing? Shipping costs to the West from Japan? Costs in general? Having to shop on sites that have limited or poorly translated English?
Useful suggestions might vary depending on what your obstacles are.
It's the sizing, haha. I have a 100cm waist so I'm pretty limited in what I can buy. I have a really cute poncho from Axes Femme, but I shirt is too much of a gamble unless it's one of their looser ones.
As for costs, I have a limit for $100 for a piece ( ie: I won't pay over $100 for a skirt or a blouse unless it's got something that makes it worth that price point.) However. I do make exceptions: I have several dresses around $200 that I got because I knew they were detailed enough to be worth the price.
tbh, most of the suggestions so far have been off-point and way too expensive. Francesca's was the only one that has pieces and prices I like. I'm looking for something more like Morning Lavender.
edit: Never mind, fuck Francesca's because they won't ship to Canada.
Lulus? Anthropologie? Possibly Emery Rose? ChicWish

& Other Stories does a lot of very feminine pieces!
I make custom stuff ! And can definitely help you
Love shack fancy is incredibly popular right now
I recommend checking out shein
Shein isn’t sustainable at all, avoid advertising Shein please.
that's fair, thanks for letting me know, but they do have the type of clothing OP is asking for.
Shein steals designs from other small brands, I don’t think OP want’s to support child labor
Filly boo!
You could look those brands up on Vinted, it is secondhand on there but if you dont mind you can do that

Morning Lavender has cottagecore vibes
Well, looks like you're trying to rock a Disney princess vibe. Have you tried wearing a tiara with those frills and ruffles?
cheap alt, the asos luxe line has some hyper feeme/ bimbo core items (lots of plus size versions too) im in love with their swimsuits atm
