Good video! The only thing I would say is it’s not necessary for tall lolitas to wear underskirts if they don’t want to. My knees show in a lot of my dresses and the world is going to accept lol! But wearing an underskirt is more of a suggestion but you kinda made it seem like it was a requirement.
It’s a common complaint that I hear from my tall friends so I thought I’d suggest a solution. Of course it’s not a requirement requirement but thanks for the feedback
your videos are always so full of life and light!! im watching with intense focus and a bit of envy, i mean....AP bag for $15?? OMG how lucky were you at the time!!
17:55 I can speak to the quality of that bag. The brand is EcoSuzi and it is the highest quality pleather I’ve ever encountered. Not once in the years I’ve used it has it ever peeled (an issue you run into with pleather brand bags!) or shown at sign of wear. And it’s huge!
I'm glad you mentioned you can get bags any where. When I first started buying lolita a year ago I was low key embarrassed to go to ebay. Because I thought I had to stay with brand and people would judge. I don't know... It was silly. But yeah its perfectly fine to get a bag from ebay or Amazon.
Loved the part when you put on your golden headpiece and crown, you looked straight into the camera, fierce like a Queen! This video is a great resource, thank you
Not a lolita but a wearer of complicated/uncomfortable fashion (shoulder pads, sequins etc). LOVE you, LOVE the black and gold. Your particular style is one of my faves in this scene. My dear your videos are such a pleasure to watch. 💀💜
I'm wearing lolita for yeeeaaars now and I still love other peoples videos about doing coords :'D I personally use taobao a loot ^^' I also tried out two different shopping services already and am pretty "knowledgeable" regarding taobao so If you have questions I can probably explain some things as well as give shop recommendations for different lolita articles on taobao
This was so helpful, thank you so much! I have been watching/involved with lolita content for 10 years and have decided this year to make my first coord :-) Thank you for the knowledge! Also I LOVED that you wore your natural hair with this coord it looked incredible.
this was so helpful! im just starting to get into lolita/considering getting my first coord but i had no clue where to start. i loved the walkthrough, and you have a wonderful energy!
this video was incredibly informative and helpful! really exactly what i was looking for as a lolita intro lol. your voice is really soothing and lovely to listen too as well!! thank you for such thoughtful and helpful content :)
I have been apart of the lolita community since 2017 so im still quite new to the community, but in 2017 i didnt have a dress and i still dont but in 2017 i researched alot and a couple days ago my mum ordered my first dress on DEVILNIGHT Here is the link of the dress im getting- www.devilnight.co.uk/lolita/6684-blue-snow-castle-sweet-lolita-op-dress-with-detachable-sleeves.html
That spiky black headdress is THE COOLEST THING it's so gorgeous!!! What is it called/where can I find some good photos of it, I really want to draw my character in it. (If I weren't broke I'd buy it and wear it myself lol)
Thank you for all the information! I have been squirreling away items waiting for my first JSK to arrive. I ordered Napoleons Coronation from Night Whispers
This was very helpful! I'm just planning to get into lolita recently and have been nervous about what you can, can't do and all that fun stuff. This was greatly educational and I plan to continue watching your content. (fully aware this came a year ago esdrftgyuhjik)
Her, dressed in adorable pastels with cute hair clip and rings and makeup: "I'm not wearing lolita today" Me, in my stained jumper and stretchy pants: "you still look fabulous holy-"
Theyre beautiful dresses and its good to enjoy them however you want! I do this too for every day wear and dress it up mire if I want to go somewhere fancy or go to a meet
Some jumperskirts that are more of the Otome style can be worn as everyday dresses with a nice cardigan or something. My library print by Sweet Mildred is like that
@@courtneycherry113 I got this, as am a Gothic. Not a Lolita, but I do have some Gothic lolita stuff in my closet. I wore this just as it is, with out a blouse this summer....l;www.violetfaneshop.com/shop/the-funeral-dress instagram.com/p/CDVeZz7F4Ar/
I love your coord! I love how you put the two head pieces together to make one giant one. I personally lover berets and can't get enough of them but I also get hot and they can be so hot when you add a wig. (Blech!) I hate feeling hot too. Lol
Thank you for this video! I live in Florida so I especially liked your tips for dressing lolita in hot weather. I had no idea hoop petticoats existed! Now I HAVE to get one. Also I have a question: how do you find what lolita style suits you best? How would you experiment with different styles?
I think you should try a lolita style that’s closer to your current wardrobe. For example, if you currently wear a lot of pastels or fairykei-like clothes then sweet lolita might be something you can try. If you’re more into darker clothes or goth aesthetics then try gothic Lolita. I started out wearing sweet lolita then branched off into other styles. You can definitely wear more than one, I have dresses from each substyle.
@@asamimoon5789 That's the thing though... I don't really have a current "style." I've always hated shopping and was never into fashion, so my taste in clothing was always just "whatever feels comfortable." And since it's always super hot here, I usually just wear tank tops, cutoffs, and sandals. Pretty basic. But recently I had an epiphany, and decided that I want to reinvent myself once I'm in college. I struggle a lot with self-confidence, so I think that finding my sense of style and wearing clothes I actually like might help me feel a lot more confident. I've always thought lolita was super cool and secretly wanted to try it out, so here I am 😅 I also think one reason why lolita is appealing to me is because it has a lot of "rules." I think it's less intimidating if I have a sort of "template" that I can follow so I know where to start. So far I'm really drawn to gothic lolita but I'm not sure if it would be the right choice if I'm just starting out, (plus, black probably isn't good for hot weather.) I also want to try a bunch of different substyles like you mentioned. Do you think I should start out with something simple like classic lolita before trying bolder styles like sweet, gothic, etc.? I just don't want to make any expensive mistakes
I have a question, I have 3 dresses so far and have just ordered my 4th. I haven't dressed in lolita yet because I want the first time to be on my birthday so it's memorable. But, two of my dresses are halter neck OP's am I supposed to wear a blouse with them? also if I have wrist cuffs on can my hands be bear or do my fingers have to be covered? I've tried looking these up but all that comes up is realllllly long articles from ages ago that don't explain things very well. Also, I love your content and your coords are gorgeous!
By halter neck OP do you mean an OP that has the two strings in the front? Because those are meant to cross in an “x” across the chest and tie behind the neck(look up Angelic Pretty French Cafe op to see what I mean) Also wear rings if you want to but you don’t “have” to. I often wear 1 ring but you don’t have to fill your fingers with them. Experiment and see what works for you, many people don’t wear rings cause they are allergic to the material like resin or metal alloy so just wear what you like :)
Lolita fashion like every other fashion style is about what YOU like and how YOU want to express yourself. My everyday style is very casual and I do more aristocratic looks for special occasions so sometimes I’ll wear crowns, veils, rings, and the whole shabang and other days it’s just a headband and bracelet. Just wear what you like and make sure your themes and colors make sense
I feel like it really depends on the style you are going for but generally yes, if you are wearing a jsk wear a blouse. You could skip the blouse and wear a cardigan or peignoir but again, it depends on the style
Hi! :D I'm trying to get into Lolita and I had a question about shoes. I'm the kind of guy who basically only wears big shoes, like an additional 5-7 inches kind of big. I wanted to know if you could possibly wear platforms with Lolita too? I was thinking Kera-08 or Poison-99-2 for sweet Lolita and something like Demon-11 for gothic Lolita from Demonia might fit the styles. If it's not allowed by the fashion then that's totally okay, I'm just a little insecure about my height, so I wanted to check if it was alright before I bought any more platforms just to go with Lolita. Thanks for taking the time to read this :3
Amazon! XD the one with no lining is from amazon. The one with lining I got on lacemarket egl.circlly.com/auctions/free-worldwide-airmail-white-adjustble-petticoat-plus-size-ae45cba3-22fd-4ddf-972e-117b1b481e52
aren't you supposed to wear the hoop-skirt underneath the petticoat and dress anyways whether the petticoat is decorative and sticks out beneath the bottom of the dress (acts as an underskirt) or doesn't?
Not everyone wears hoop skirts. If you’re wearing an underskirt for length or decoration you’d still wear a petticoat under it yes to maintain the correct silhouette for whatever dress your wearing. But not everyone wears a hoop skirt and petticoat together. Some people stack petticoats and some wear just a hoop skirt and make sure their dress has lining or is thick so the hoops don’t show through the material. I have a person preference for hoop skirts and I put a lining over them instead of wearing a fluffy petticoat.
@@asamimoon5789 Oh okay. I sometimes see a coord with lace peeking out right below the bottom of the dress. I don’t know if it’s a decorative petticoat or just an underskirt. Are those one in the same or different?
@@eve8123 lace is on the bottom of many dresses as part of the dress design and isn’t part of a petticoat or hoop skirt. For example, the gold lace as well as the black lace on the bottom of this dress is part of the actual dress.
