LOLITA DEFINED
Gothic Lolita is one of the most famous street fashions in Japan. Gothic Lolita is inspired by French Victorian style. There are many types of Lolita; elegant, punk, aristocrat, the list goes on but the most famous and well known style is "Gothic Lolita". Even though it's called "Gothic Lolita" it doesn't really have any connection with what most people think is Goth. Lolita's don't wear black make-up and look depressed. Lolita's are anything but angasty but if they were in some sort of category of Goth then it would have to be "romantic" instead of vampire or cyber goth.
POINTERS
Don't be a slut! You might see pictures of those girls with super short skirts or showing their bloomers, chances are that's a cover for a porn or something. Lolita isn't like that. It's about being cute, flawless features and innocent. It isn't to be mistaken for role-playing porn.
Make your own clothes , if not then pay $300 for a branded dress somewhere. You should either cough up the money or make your own because most cheap ones are really horrible. There are patterns and tutorials if you purchase the Gothic Lolita Bible. The Gothic Lolita Bible is a magazine that features many famous models and how-to's on making your own Gothic Lolita stuff.
Wear Mary-Jane's, you don't have to but it's not acceptable to wear your dirty sneakers.
Lace, Frills, and ribbons. That's all I need to say.
If you don't want to learn how to sew or are not filthy rich look around some stores such as Target, they have very limitable stuff.
Always smile. Your life is not a deep black hole if you're a Lolita.
Have manners and always be polite. Walk straight, don't run, don't spread your legs all over the place when you sit, cross them.
If you have a bad temper theN you aren't meant to be a Lolita.
Many male Gothic Lolitas (though rare) wear dresses and cross-dress but they also do masculine Victorian style.
