Once a hot collector's item, Lolita costumes have been dropping in price as the cosplay has become more commonplace in China, leaving many dress collectors who were dependant on their rarity finding it hard to cash in like they did before. 

Miao Zi (pseudonym), a Lolita cosplayer enthusiast, has been active in the hobby for the past four years. During this time, she has spent hundreds of thousands of yuan buying at least 117 costumes, according to life magazine Vista.
