Mochipan Pre-Order Newsletter #51

Howdy MochiFam,

Today's newsletter has some great news for some projects, and a whole lot of nothing for others due to one of our manufacturing partner's project update response being quite lacking in detail. We are pushing for more information, but wanted to get the newsletter in y'all's inbox in a timely manner.

Let's get into it, shall we? Fulfillment is set to begin soon for a large number of projects, including the Spanish Moon Moth Dress, Mothman Dress, Goth Babydoll Dress, Damask Mushroom Bikini, Goddess Nightgowns & Pajama Sets, and the 4 new Moth Cardigans. If you've moved since placing your order or need a different size, we highly recommend you reach out to us to make those changes sooner rather than later!

As for new projects, the latest launch's production order has been placed, which means the Chestnut Bloom Fleur Skirt and Bloomers have transitioned from an Open Pre-Order to a Limited Pre-Order, and are now subject to selling out. These autumnal Fleur Skirt and Bloomers variants are 100% cotton, and perfect for fall.

Speaking of the changing seasons, our next launch will be quite welcome for those of you with drizzly autumn weather-- the Vintage Raincoat will be launching September 5th, transitioning to a Limited Pre-Order after we place the production order on September 20th. This dramatic raincoat is inspired by the fashion of 1930's and 40's classic silhouettes, and if it does well, we've got some other colors planned as well!

We've also been in the process of discussing which Interest Checks will be purged, and will be putting out a blog post soon with updates for the Interest Check Leaderboard, so keep an eye out! Lastly, in case this is your first time hearing about it, we've got a Discord Server and a Patreon, both of which get tons of sneak peeks, polls to vote on variants and sketches, and a vibrant community! If that sounds appealing, feel free to pop on by!

For all the latest production updates, timelines, and launches, check below the break!

The Spanish Moon Moth Dress' Final Approved Sample

All of the Spanish Moon Moth Dresses have now been shipped to our warehouse, and we are in the process of prepping for shipping! Our order processing genius Max is travelling internationally this coming week, and as such, fulfillment is being pushed back slightly to give him time to manually process your orders.

Fulfillment is now set to begin on Monday, September 7th. The "Last Chance for Address/Size Changes" email has just been sent out, so please get those change requests sent ASAP!

Timeline:

  • Shipping Date: September 7th - 11th, 2026

The Mothman Dress' Final Approved Sample

The Mothman Dresses are still at the factory, undergoing inspection and repairs, as an unexpectedly high number were found to have issues with the embroidery. Our manufacturing partner has let us know, the dresses should be sent to our warehouse by 9/5. 

We will be sending out a "Last Chance for Address/Size Changes" email blast later this week, however if you're reading this and need to make a change to your order, please contact us at support@mochipan.com ASAP!

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: September 10th - 15th, 2026

─────────────୨ৎ─────────────

The Goth Babydoll Dress is also still under inspection, and we are awaiting an update on whether repairs are needed for these pieces. In the event they answer in the affirmative, shipping will likely be delayed by roughly a week.

We are setting the ESD to the second week of September, but will ship sooner if no repairs are needed. As this pre-order cycle has been on the shorter side, we will not be sending "Last Chance" emails, but if you need to make changes to your order, please email us at support@mochipan.com.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: September 7th - 11th, 2026

─────────────୨ৎ─────────────

Moth Cardigan production is wrapping up, though it looks like we will be receiving the four designs in a series of staggered shipments. The Black Witch Moth Cardigans are en route to our warehouse, and expected to begin fulfillment this coming week, while the other three will be shipped to us soon.

We didn't get as detailed an update as one would hope regarding the order in which the remaining designs will be shipping to us, but we will keep you updated as we get more information.

Timeline:

  • Black Witch Moth: September 4th - 11th, 2026
  • Remaining 3: September 10th - 30th, 2026

Our questions regarding when the manufacturing partner expects the remainder of these pieces to ship went mostly unanswered during the latest communication, and we are still probing to get a more complete update from the factory.

It does seem like the remaining pieces are not quite ready to ship to our warehouse, and as such, we are widening the ESD range to cover to possibility the factory is avoiding giving us answers we may not like. 

The Button Down Shirt and Slacks are both at our warehouse and ready to go, though most orders are waiting on the suit set. 

We will be sending out a "Last Chance for Changes" email relatively soon, but if you have any questions, or know changes need to be made to your order, please reach out to us at support@mochipan.com.

Timeline:

  • Sets (Jacket, Vest, and Tie): September 15th - 25th, 2026
    • In Sewing Phase
  • Slacks: Ready to ship
  • Button Down Shirt: Ready to ship

The Vintage Storybook Dress have encountered an issue with the dyed fabric, and our manufacturing partner is resistant to providing a concrete estimate on how long a delay this obstacle presents. We are doing our best to get an updated timeline for our customers, while still prioritizing quality above all else.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: September 15th - October 15th, 2026

The Plague Doctor Tracksuit Sets are wrapping up production, and should be ready to ship to the warehouse in the next two weeks! These sets were ordered for production back in July, releasing as a Limited Pre-Order, and as such period of time between release and fulfillment will be much shorter than for most projects.

We're excited to get these spooky sets in our customers' hands in time for Halloween, and expect fulfillment to begin around the third week of September.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: September 20th - 30th, 2026

The Mothman Cropped Jacket's Final Approved Sample (Factory Photo)

We've started receiving shipments of the Mothman Cropped Jackets! A sizeable portion of the production run had errors and needed to be repaired, but we should receive the rest of the pieces in the next few weeks and will begin fulfillment mid-September as expected. 

 We will be sending out a "Last Chance" email in around 2 weeks, but as always, we welcome customers to reach out now if they have order changes to make.

The Dawn & Dusk Jacket blew past our wildest expectations to become a best seller! Because of these, we purchased more units in anticipation of a restock after pre-order fulfillment! 

Fabric is currently under printing, and we estimate these pieces will be ready to ship in mid-October.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: October 15th - 30th, 2026

Production on the Sunflower Carousel Collection faced a prominent delay after we discovered the larger sizes were not scaled properly and presented a major fit issue. This has since been resolved through multiple sampling until we were satisfied both ends of the size spectrum would have a flattering and comfortable fit.

Our manufacturing partner has now begun production, with the fabric being cut for the Dress, and the rest of the collection's pieces at the printing stage. Based on the current status of production, this collection is slated to begin fulfilment in November.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: November 15th - 30th, 2026

The Glorp Cat Cropped Jacket and Skirt Set is in production, with the white variants' pieces currently at the embroidery stage. Our factory has flagged an issue with the black variants' fabric that requires further investigation. We will keep our customers updated as we find out more. For now, the ESD on this project is late-October.

If this timeline does not work for you,  we welcome customers to reach out and let us know. We'd be happy to refund your order or ship in advance any items in orders waiting on these sets at no additional cost.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: October 15th - 30th, 2026

The Plague Doctor Dress has officially begun production on all three pieces of the set. The factory knows our desire to ship these out in time for Halloween, and we will continue pushing them to work towards that goal. At this time however, we cannot make any guarantees, and recommend those with intentions of wearing it during the holiday have a backup plan.

If you have other items on an order with the Plague Doctor Dress, please reach out! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your patience.

Our new hat factory showed us an unsatisfactory sample of the Bread Cap, and as such, a second sample is now underway, at the embroidery stage. 

Please reach out to us at support@mochipan.com if you have an order being held up by this project, and we would be happy to ship all other items now, free of charge.

Pre-Sample Pre-Orders (PSPOs)

 

We are absolutely thrilled with the fit of the new factory's Love-Me Dress sample! The colors look amazing in person, and even more exciting-- the issue of the restrictive sleeves has been solved! Considering this issue was a major factor in our decision to move the project to a new factory, this is cause for celebration!

Project Manager Emma is quite happy with the fit, and says it is surprisingly comfortable to wear, considering the style. Our next steps are to check the fit in the larger sizes, and continue development of the corset with our other manufacturing partner. 

If you have other items on an order with the Love-Me Dress, please reach out! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your patience. 

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: November 15th - 30th, 2026

Project Manager Emma also reviewed the Love-Me-Not Dress sample, and is happy with the fit for the most part, but found the length to be too long compared to its sister dress. A new sample is to be made with a shortened skirt length to better match both the concept art and the Love-Me Dress.

We're very pleased with the way the custom dyed lace trim turned out as an alternative to the hem distressing present in the concept art. The fabric color and quality is also improved from the previous factory's sample. Our next steps are to check the fit in the larger sizes, and continue development of the corset with our other manufacturing partner. 

If you have other items on an order with the Love-Me-Not Dress, please reach out! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your patience.

  • Estimated Shipping Date: November 15th - 30th, 2026

The Apothecary Dress sample we received is close to being approvable, with some fit adjustments needed for both the Dress and Cape. Like with a few other projects, we did not get a proper update regarding the status of these newest samples, and are pushing our factory partner for more information.

If you have other items on an order with the Apothecary Dress, please reach out to us at support@mochipan.com! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your understanding.
