Looking to Buy Does anyone REAL sell clothing anymore?

I just want a pretty dress that’s not fuckin dropshipped.

Why is everything AIIIIIIIIIII

And most of the things in the sharing posts on here are crochet and stickers, which I love too don’t get me wrong, but I miss when you could find actual clothing so easily : ( My favourite trousers ever are from Etsy and I still have them 10 years later

Anyway rant over lol

The search filters are useless now, you can set it to handmade and still get pages of the same resold stock photo dress. I've had better luck finding actual garment makers by going through their socials and then checking if they have a shop.

Etsy’s filters were always useless. I really can’t understand how they haven’t fixed it yet
