I am glad that somebody has finally said something about iSocks. I just completed my research into the Gothic Lolita trend in Malaysia, and it is not a very pretty picture. iSocks certainly is not helping to promote the growing popularity of the Gothic Lolita in our county. They even horrendously mixed Elegant Gothic Lolita with Punk. Gothic Lolita and Punk style have nothing in common really. They are not even related to each other.

I was able to gain entry into the Members-only shop. I am not a member myself. I borrowed a membership card from a Good Samaritan working at Times Square. Miaka, if you think the iSocks salesgirls, which work at the non-member shops are rude… then don’t go into the members-only shop! In there works the rudest, most arrogant, and conceited, salesgirl in the world! I have never met such a rude person in my life.

Now, Miaka-san, if you are still interested in getting a Gothic Lolita dress from the place, be prepared to fork out RM500 if you want the complete Gothic Lolita look. If you want the dress minus petticoats, then you will need to spend around 300 to 400, because that is how much a dress in that outlet will go. But, don’t look to the sulking salesgirl to give you any helpful hints. You will get scolded. Yes, you read right, the salesgirl there actually scolded a potential customer. The cheapest Gothic Lolita dress I saw was priced about RM257. It did not look too good, it was so-so, and it was a pinafore dress. Meaning no sleeves. They do have good ones, but they are upstairs and cost between RM399 to over RM550. They even have a very cute French Maid costume. I did not see the price on that. By then, I was irritated out of my mind by the absolutely rude salesgirl, who kept looking up and down at me.

I hear a lot of people get that treatment from the iSocks salesgirls.

For a ‘members-only’ shop that sells dresses, which costs over RM250 and up, they have the worst customer service in the world. I asked to see the person in charge before I left, unfortunately that person was out and I got scolded for asking to see the boss.

I have half the mind to write to the newspapers and defame iSocks for the horrid treatment I received. But I will not do so… yet.

Oh, by the way, if you spend RM50 and above at the iSocks shop that sells just socks, you can become a member… or, you can buy a pair of socks and ask the girl to give you a letter so you can go into the members-only shop to buy something. This is what I found out from the truly friendly and helpful salesgirl at that shop. It truly was a stark contrast from the girl, who works at the members-only outlet. Of course, this will be helpful if you are still interested in buying a Gothic Lolita dress after reading what I have written.

Take care.

And some of them are rude to customers. I know, been there couple of times to see if have anything worth me forking out RM 100!!

I hear business in Times Square isn’t so good these days, I hope they open up the members only shops or for sure it will close down soon.

The clothes in the other iSocks shop, after the one that sells only socks, is… horrible. Most of the things I wouldn’t buy even if kills me. They have some cute skirts but that’s it, all the other stuff is just… yuck.

I was told that you have to buy over RM 100 then you can be a member. Don’t tell me now must buy over 200 ah? Aiyoo how? The shop that is open to the public has utterly ugly clothes!

iSocks is so not fair to slowly growing Malaysian Gothic Lolitas.
