How to Be Gothic Lolita

Gothic Lolita?
Gothic Lolita is one of the most famous street fashions in Japan. Gothic Lolita fashion is inspired by Old French Victorian style dresses. There are many types of Lolita; elegant, punk etc but the most famous is something known as 'gothic Lolita'.

The Difference

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 be 'romantic' instead of vampire or cyber Goth.

Rules/Tips
• 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. Its about being cute, flawless features, and innocent and 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. It's 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 its 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 to buy a $300 dress. Look around some stores such as Target they have very lolitable stuff.

• Always SMILE. Your life is not a deep black hole if you're a lolita.

• Have manners and be always polite. Walk straight, don't run, don't spread your legs all over the place when you sit, cross them.

• If you have a short fuse then you are meant to be a lolita

• Many MALE Gothic Lolitas (though rare) wear dresses and cross-dress but they also do masculine Victorian style.
