Almost Lolita Fashion

Scouring the internet for Western clothes that work with Japanese Lolita Fashion. Not everyone will agree on aesthetics, these are merely to be helpful ideas. I use tags a lot, you should click them. I do this almost entirely on mobile, so tell me if something looks strange on laptop/desktop. Always open to submissions, requests, and advice.

Sorry about the lack of posting recently! I'm going through a medication trial period and I have been feeling all out of sorts. Hopefully I'll be back at it in force soon (and with better health).

Introducing the Lolita Guide Book: A Modern Guide for All Things Lolita

After months of preparation, compiling, research, and collaboration, the Lolita Guide Book is officially open to the public!

Ever wondered what lolita fashion is? You saw some girls at a convention wearing poofy, elaborate dresses and thought “what’s that about?” and needed more information? Or, have you admired lolita fashion from afar and finally want to get into it for real? Or perhaps you are a veteran and want to help educate newcomers or curious onlookers? You have come to the right place.

Below is a list of our pages, detailing all you need to know to get into lolita. Our guide is up-to-date and will be updated when needed, unlike “dead” blogs and websites which have outdated information. The Lolita Guide Book strives in keeping you informed.

Volume 1: The Basics

Volume 2: Styles, Sub-styles, and Themes

Volume 3: The Anatomy of an Outfit

Volume 4: Construction, Quality, Detail, and Care

Volume 5: Getting Dressed

Volume 6: Buying Lolita

Volume 7: Community and Culture

Volume 8: Dictionary

Our ask is also open, so if you have any specific questions not covered in the guide, please feel free to shoot us a message. We will post all answered questions so that others can learn from your inquiry, but if you do not want your question to be posted for any reason, please ask it un-anonymously and tell us to answer it privately.

We encourage the lolita community here on tumblr to reblog this introduction post to spread the word! Please feel free to link to this blog and its contents whenever you need it as well. Enjoy.

Thank you ^_^ I'm unemployed, somewhat disabled, and on a very sad budget. This blog helps entertain me (and help me plot for when I eventually have money again).
