Lolita fashion

[sally.]

i was wondering if anyone is into lolita fashion?

i am slowly starting to wear lolita. this is very exciting for me and i wish i could own more dresses but brand is very expensive. i know there are other alternatives but i love angelic pretty and baby...
but even though i really love lolita, i am too shy to wear it in public. i am not sure how to go about it so i think i will only wear lolita at cons and tea parties. any tips about wearing lolita out would be nice.

if you are a lolita, i would love to see photos of your coords for inspiration! but whether you are a lolita or just like the fashion, feel free to discuss anything related. let me know your favourite brands, dresses and whatever else.

You could always just do Lolita style blouses with normal pants to start. Maybe work in a cute Lolita cape/coat if you live somewhere it's cold. Eventually if you love lolita enough, you'll grow into it and wear it out with confidence.

i've always wanted to wear lolita! i live in nyc so alternative fashion isn't too strange. it's just that it's a little out of my budget right now, and i'm still in high school. as soon as i'm able to, i definitely plan on wearing loli regularly, but for now i stick to harajuku-inspired tops and fluffy skirts!

I browse second hand sites all the time but I don't really wear it much, haha. I only have a couple lolita dresses and skirts.

I really like Angelic Pretty but the sweet style doesn't really suit me imo (I'm too tall for most of their dresses too). I'd like to get a classic styled piece but it's hard to justify buying something new when I don't wear the rest of my lolita clothes that much.


Here's a couple selfies of me wearing lolita... though they're not exactly inspirational!

need some cute socks or tights ;_;

Looking at the pictures reminds me I want a poofier petticoat too.

I think the Lolita fashion is really cute. I would wear it if I could afford it.

I like the lolita style and Victorian era styles. I've looked at some sights with lolita clothes on them but they're waaaaaaaaay too expensive for me. I'd also probably never wear them out except with my friends because it would draw too much attention towards me. I particularly like the Ouji style.

Bodyline is probably the best site for inexpensive lolita.

Most people recommend staying away from Milanoo though. Although, I've ordered a pair of cosplay shoes from them and they were really nice, so I don't really know what to believe. Considering I've never bought actual lolita items.

i have gotten a few suggestions like this too! thank you. maybe casual things with lolita elements are best for now until i get comfortable.

lovely pictures!! if you need new petti, i suggest one from classical puppets. they have great pettis and you can even layer two for a huge poof. i am only 5ft so i am extremely jealous of your long legs. i was eyeing a dress (btssb ave maria) but i am sure it would touch my feet...
i am not a sweet lolita but i like to dress a mix of sweet and classic lolita. angelic pretty has been releasing some new prints that are not their usual OTT sweet so i was very interested in those.

I think it's really pretty and if it was my style I'd definitely wear it. I do however like to draw that kind of dresses when bored at school lol.

The community is waaaay too toxic and they just love to label people "ita" 24*7 ._.

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

I'm not however I have a close friend is very much is into it.

I would wear it if it didn't make me look younger than I already am (people tell me I look ten). I like their socks, though I can't really justify buying clothes from halfway around the world at ludicrous prices. I don't even go to cons, nor am I that big of a fan of Japan, so it would be a waste.

Yeah i mean people usually think I'm still like in high school or stuff cause they always ask when buying adult things lol. Yes, it's kinda expensive and especially where I live. Plus I'm kind tiny for it to look good.

Dresslink is a reallly cheap site you can probably find tons of awesome socks/skirts and shirts to make a more casual lolita look.
,Theres lots of mixed reviews about it honestly, the site is super cheap but shippign can be a little expensive probably a good 20-30 bucks if you do a big order of like 100$ most of the stuff is below 10$ while you get what you pay for in a sense because the quality of the clothes isn't super amazing but its not terrible either, for the most part most people will be okay with it. They won't tear/look cheap or feel itchy so its nice i've ordered a few items before and I was content with it
Shipping can take a while since they make clothes that models wear themselves in china
NOTE: This site is mostly for smaller frame( Probably no bigger than US Large mostly shirts! for most clothes, you might be able to find hoodies and big shirts bigger.) since this is asian made fashion and Asians tend to have a smaller body frame compared to most of the world, I myself who is a US Small had to order a Medium and it just fit like if I gained another 5 lbs it wouldnt fit anymore. Their shoes as the biggest size i've seen is about 8 US. If you are about no bigger than a large you will probably be okay with this site!I would suggest buying a size bigger than what you are, there are tons of cute clothes so enjoy!.

i know what you mean. i am too shy to join the online community and my local community. i am scared that they will be very intimidating!

I'd check the local out first and see if they have some sort of fb/web page for it or look around for people and ask them. I guess they are friendlier than the Livejournal and random forum ones

I'm starting to get into lolita fashion too! For a year now even.. I know all the lingo, follow a few lolitas and lolita blogs, I even put together coords in my mind but, I have yet to own a single blouse!
I wouldn't be shy about wearing lolita at all even though I live in the city. I'm pretty tall so there's a little stigma too
The real problem is I have to save up for stuff like this and that.
ONE DAY *shakes fist to the sky*
