![]() ![]() I've decided to do a bit of an intro post for lolita fashion for those who are looking into getting into the fashion, but don't really know what, exactly, is needed, or where to start. There are a lot of places online that will show you great ways to get started on building a Lolita wardrobe and making the most out of a few key pieces. ![]() A Petticoat - In my opinion, this should be your first purchase.Įveryone determines their own style, so there's no absolutely "correct" way about going about building up a wardrobe! However, I find that this would be the best way to begin from the base on up! Some people may see it fine to deviate and swerve off the path I'm outlining as they see fit. There is a saying where Im from, which goes: old age comes with defects. Before you can get anything with a lolita silhouette, you need to have the petticoat that will give the skirt the proper fluff! There is any number of different places to go for these, and it really depends on what style you prefer. Welcome Restoring discolored lace: Scallop Hem JSK. For sweet lolitas, generally a cupcake shaped petticoat is the best way to go for classic and gothic, A-lines are a little more typical (though gothic lolitas often wear the bell-shaped or cupcake-shaped petticoats at times, as well). For a cupcake shaped Petticoat, I would recommend buying from Classical Puppets or from Dear Celine. ![]() For an A-line, both brands are fairly good, but Malco Modes petticoats can also work very well. Each brand is based on an idol type, such as lovely, pop, cool, natural, and celeb, but there are also brandless coords, which are not associated with a brand. ![]() Each idol uses their own preferred brand. A modded Malco Modes can even make a very nice cupcake or bell petticoat, as well! Keep in mind that the petticoat is the workhorse of your wardrobe, and this is one area where you will not want to skimp. Brands are what different types of clothing with different designs, shapes, and styles for every corresponding outfit belong to. Do your research on petticoats before buying one, and check out a few reviews of potential stores. Some girls prefer to just wear bike shorts or similar to prevent accidental panty-flashes when bending over (bending over with a bell-shaped skirt is pretty much an insta-flash).īloomers - Bloomers are not exactly a strict "must have" item.For the most part, petticoats should be white or natural, though some Gothic lolitas or lolitas who dress in other predominant colors may consider black or another color. You could always practice kneeling as opposed to bending over, but this can be problematic sometimes. Bloomers are a good way to keep your legs warm in winter, as well, particularly if you choose a flannel pair. I also keep all my worn looks in Smart Closet under the custom category of “worn” so I can go back to them and repeat outfits if I want to.This would be an item that I would highly recommend buying offbrand for anything this close to your bum, I don't think that the brand price tag is worth it-particularly during that one wonderful week of the month (sad, but true). So these days I keep all my coord photos for myself in that photo album in chronological order. I also was using Lookbook, until they took down one of my photos for containing minors (it didn’t, I was the only one pictured) and there was absolutely NO WAY to dispute the claim. In the past I printed them and was making a scrapbook of all my looks but I haven’t had a printer for a while so I stopped doing that. Once I wear something, I keep all my coord photos in an album on my Google Photos account. This sheet might look chaotic but it’s been very helpful in keeping me organized! The X’s show years I did not own each piece and red font is for upcoming coords. In this article, I examine the rise, fall, and undead spread of gothic lolita, and what it might mean to think of gothic lolita's backward-looking, over-the-top Victorian finery, now transmuted by a Japanese pop-cultural lens, as a type of subject formationone that posits a culturally hybrid hyperfemininity as a vehicle for group identification, no matter the nationality, race, gender. Yellow indicates ILD June and blue indicates ILD December. Grey lines are dress I now no longer own, the dark pink are dresses I haven’t worn yet. Pre-2018 I wore Cecelia Merry-go-Round so many times that I needed to retire it for a while to make time for other pieces and that’s why Dress Round-Up was born. I use this sheet to keep track of what dresses I have worn for what events so that I make sure all the dresses in my closet get wear, and I am not wearing the same coords to the same annual events too close together. Dress Round-Up is an excel sheet where I keep of all the main pieces I have ever owned with the recent past years and the present/next year. ![]()
