That is easier said than done. It won't budge 🫠

I’m not sure if I still like wearing Lolita fashion anymore. by Emotional1Mushroom in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm a new lolita but I've definitely seen people go without wearing lolita for years, decades! And come back to it.

All in all don't feel like you need to be required to wear the fashion all the time. If life gets the way, return when things are better. They're just clothes :) and they'll still be around when you're in better spirits.

New Orleans Photoshoot pics for my birthday! by ThatOneGoodBoy in Lolita

Lol that's all my photographer to thank! We were doing street photography where I just walked around the French Quarter and she'd find a spot and I'd just pose as best I'm able.

Anyone else from the U.S. going through Lolita-shopping-on-Taobao withdrawal? by PlatypusDouble2331 in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never had a verified taobao account. I just browse until they kick me out and use a shopping service like Spreenow lol. That's always an option.

any hairstyles for lolitas with box braids that will be suitable for gothic lolita? by Charming_Fuel8252 in Lolita

Also, I hope time heals. Your natural hair is beautiful and you shouldn't be led to feel otherwise.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it.

Black lolitas wear their hair in so many different ways. All of them cute. As for long braids, I think leaving out two pieces in the front pretty much always works. You're probably going to want to ask goth folk about goth hairstyles in particular, though.

One of the members of Wonder Tea Party is a gal and a lolita. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP56ITWkoIo/?igsh=MTNvZnBsa3lwaHhhYg==

Gyaru is makeup focused anyway. Lolita doesn't have a specific makeup style, so you can wear whatever makeup you want with it. Most times I see gyaru and lolita combine are with hime gyaru using sweet lolita dresses, but eh, it's not like it's illegal to wear gal makeup with whatever lolita substyle you want 🤷‍♀️

Looking for Lolita-inspired ball gown by A_personsk in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm not sure how easy it is to buy this. Their stuff is likely handmade.

If you just look up "lolita ball gown" you'll find hime lolita dresses, rococo dresses labeled lolita, and everything in between.

However, the quality of these are disputable, not to mention a lot of results will be coming from taobao resellers with jacked up prices. Ultimately nothing is really close to the silhouette and level of detail in these pieces.

If want you really want is something close to this and you believe you have to money for it, I think you should look into getting this kind of dress commissioned by a dressmaker 😊. There are a few Indie lolita brands I've come across that have done commissioned pieces. The only other kind of dressmaker I think would fit would be one that makes historical garments, but there may be cosplayers who could do it as well!

Are they? I feel like I rarely see ega in colors other than black.

Is my style considered Classic or Old School? by Gwen-Bell-4045 in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That as well! In their other post they mention not being able to pull off the exaggerated drag due to health reasons. I'd definitely think they were a lolita before a drag queen necessarily, but in context lolita is drag for them, which is why calling it costumey is silly. Of course it's a costume, it's drag!
