The Goth Swimsuit + Swim Skirt Set is now in Pre-Order! 

This means that Bulk Production will begin very soon, and that the product will only be available for pre-order until October 15th, 2025

Size charts and product photos have been released as of the publishing of this update, and you can check those out at the product listing here

Thank you all for your patience and support, and we're so happy that this piece is finally nearing the end of its long-standing production period.

As a final note, the shipping date for the piece has been moved up two weeks to account for any potential last-minute delays. It's not certain we will need that extra time, but we want to ensure that we are reducing and minimizing delays closer to the shipping date as much as we can.

The Artist Jackets (Pre-Order Round #2) are shipping out and en route to our warehouse!

Unfortunately, due to button issues found in the latest QA checks, these Artist Jackets are being sent to us in a number of shipments, meaning that we'll begin shipping on September 30th, but the last Jackets may not be in transit until October 20th, 2025. 

We will send jackets out prioritizing the oldest orders first in the spirit of fairness, and the newer orders may wait up to a maximum of three weeks to receive their Pre-Order Round #2 Artist Jackets. 

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.

Pre-Sample Pre-Orders (PSPOs)

 

The Woodland Shorts continue their sampling process! Here's the latest news:

Latest sample was meant to have arrived by now at our warehouse-- however, due to delays from our manufacturer, this sample will ship to us in two days, and arrive within one week for further adjustment and review. 

As this issue slows down the process by two weeks, we've moved the timeline for production completion by two weeks to accommodate. Once that next sample comes in, we will provide further updates on this piece, which is slowly moving towards completion. 

Thank you all so much for your patience, and please contact us at support@mochipan.com if you need any help in adjusting or cancelling your order in light of this latest timeline.

The latest product sample for the Shark Bite Set - not final

The Shark Bite Set's newest sample is now available for review! We want to clarify that this is still a working piece, and that more changes are planned down the line to bring it even closer to the original design's look!

A new sample has just arrived for further review and adjustment-- however, it has yet to be examined, and the next step of the process will continue in the coming week. Should the piece require further adjustments, we'll put those in for a new sample to be made. 

Should a new sample need to be made, we will need to adjust the timeline to account for that extra step. However, if the final sample looks good, we'll move onto the next steps right away and proceed with a shipping date of November 25th, 2025.

The Honey Bee Summer Gown is still facing extended timelines for the following reasons: 

  • Fabric issues: The fabric chosen for this time around is a linen-blend, which aligns with our goal of making this from a natural fiber. Unfortunately, this particular fabric is too scratchy for a swishy sundress, and we're switching it out for a softer alternative. 

  • Bee-Wing Bow: We are changing a design decision in order to bring the design more in line with the original concept art. The back-ties/bow was originally intended with a bee-wing motif in mind, but ended up not being sampled that way initially due to production constraints. As we believe this detail is now very much possible, and the product is looking at a new sample anyway, we will take extra time and resources to correct this detail for the final piece. 

New information:

A new linen fabric has been approved and the production of the next sample is underway! Unfortunately, as our hardworking manufacturing partners are going on a week's holiday between October 1 and October 8th, the earliest the next sample can be sent out to us will be October 20th, 2025. 

We've been informed however that as the sample involves a new material, this may require additional sampling to reach a final sample before Production can begin.

This means that if the sample is approved, production will start October 25th - 30th, for a completion by December 15th, 2025. 

Alternatively, if the sample is not approved and further adjustments need to be made, production will begin by November 25th at the earliest, for a shipping estimate of January 20th, 2025. 

For the time being, we'll be moving the estimated shipping date to December 15th, conditional of the status of the next sample, arriving approximately October 20th. 

Thank you all so much for your patience while we continue working on this long-standing pre-order, and please let us know if the new timeline does not work for you. 

We're committed to ensuring you're 100% comfortable with your pre-order, so contact us at support@mochipan.com if you need to make any adjustments to your order details.

The Latest Sample of the Death's Head Cropped Moth Jacket - Buttons Attached

The Cropped Moth Jackets have seen a new sample, which is getting closer to a workable sample each day. Though this is still not the final piece, we now have a secure base from which we can work out additional details of fit and feel. 

In the latest news, a new sample with adjusted fabric has been made-- however, this sample has yet to arrive and will likely not arrive until October 15th-20th due to our manufacturing parters taking a week away for national holidays, from Oct 1st - Oct 8th.

While the Death's Head variant is making steady progress, we have concerns about the Peacock and Spanish Moon variants. As such, the timeline for this project has been moved to 2026, with the potential of early shipments should they be ready-to-go ahead of time. 

Once final samples are complete, these pieces will go into Standard Pre-Order phases, and each style may be released asynchronously to minimize delays wherever possible. 

Thank you all so much for your patience-- we're always here at support@mochipan.com if you require assistance!

The Moth Dresses have begun their rework process, and work on a new sample is now underway. 

Similarly to other pre-order designs with numerous variants, the Spanish Moon Moth Dress and Mothman Dress may be released separately down the line to minimize delays on individual pieces. 

For this next two week window as well, customers are encouraged to reach out if their order is only waiting on the Moth Dresses. We'll get the rest of your order sent out at no added cost as a token of our appreciation for your patience. 

We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience, and are here to help resolve outstanding Moth Dress orders as quickly and promptly as we can. Thank you so much for your understanding, and please contact us at support@mochipan.com for assistance.

The Love Me Dress & Corset Belt Set is continuing its sampling phase, with the latest sample en route! 

As the design's complexity remains a key draw of the overall look, we are anticipating additional samples for this piece. As such, the delivery timeline has been shifted four more weeks, to December 2025.

Thank you all for your patience in waiting for this Pre-Sample Pre-Order!

  • Estimated Shipping Date: December 25th, 2025

The Love Me Not Dress & Corset Belt Set is continuing its early sampling phase, with the next Love-Me-Not Sample expect to arrive within 2-4 weeks. 

As this second variant is trailing behind the first, we have created a separate listing to better provide updates on each style. 

In general, this piece looks like it will trail behind the Love-Me Set, marking it as a 2026 release. 

Thank you all for your patience in waiting for this Pre-Sample Pre-Order!

The Glorp Cat Cropped Jacket and Skirt Set has begun early sampling, with the first Skirt Sample available for viewing below: 


As this piece is set a bit further away than some of our other projects, progress will be slow-- however, this first piece is showing great promise, and we're excited to keep providing more updates as they become available. 

Thanks so much for your patience while awaiting the Glorp Cat Set!

The Plague Doctor Dress's early sample has been delayed, as the pattern has faced issues and will need to be recut. Given this minor slideback and the initial complexity of the design, we will be pushing this dress to 2026. 

Please note that we expect this product to be ready-to-ship for February, but cannot make guarantees at this stage! 

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: February 2025

The Aurora Borealis Masc Set has seen quite a lot of interest, and we look forward to working on this dashing masc set. With an estimated production period of seven plus months, you'll want to make sure you're okay to wait until November at the very earliest.

We're hoping to have this set shipped out by Winter 2025-2026, and appreciate your patience and support.

Timeline:

  • Estimated Shipping Date: Late-Winter 2025-2026

The Apothecary Dress Set is seeing early constructions, but nothing we're able to show quite yet!

As it's behind four other new designs in line, it has a wait time of 8 months minimum, and should arrive by Spring of 2026. Pre-Sample Pre-Orders are generally going to take the larger part of a year from launch to produce, so please keep that in mind when placing an order!
