That's such a nice review! I personally went there with my mother in the end of August, it was the first time she saw a loita shop and was actually surprised that the shop was located in such a grey and serious building! The lift actually makes you think about a factory XD
For what I remember, I think your map is right :) behind the curtain there is actually their working room, when I went there the curtain was partially opened and you could see fabrics of every colour!
This time I personally got a black shirt with detachable sleeves and two pairs of old-school style socks, one black one white with white lace. I had been there in 2011 before and got the red OP of your icon (i think it's that model at least) which has relatively large sleeves compared to the other measures, but i think it's just its design. And I agree that the quality is really good if you can pick up the right things!:)
Thanks! Yeah, it makes sense if you think about it that they'd use a factory building - most of their business is manufacture, after all, and the storefront is just a bonus feature. Maybe the cashier lady pretty much treats it as an office.
Anna House does seem to carry a lot of old-school stuff - there was this giant headdress there that I briefly tried on that looked incredibly awkward on me. The one in my icon is actually a skirt, so I guess it's like half of your OP? :)
Sounds like a lovely store! It is sad that the zipper broke.... I have a jsk kind of like that where there is a seam that goes up to the zipper and it always gets stuck and catches.
I was there 2 years ago :) and it looks like they didn't change much, except I thought the desk was parallel to the other wall last time. It's nice to see the clothes in person, hanging on the racks. It's preferable to looking at online catalogues for sure!
When I was at the store, I ended up placing a custom order for a blouse. It fit really well and looked great...but the sleeves were a bit short xD I know she didn't measure my arm length and everyone assumes I'm shorter than I really am, but at least now I know my measurements xD

The sleeveless blouse is called a bustier :).

And thanks! I knew I'd seen the word somewhere, but couldn't remember what it was or work out how to find it.

And the building looked so scary and dodgy xD
