      That really sucks, but hey when you move out you can wear whatever you like! Also if you can you can save up money by selling drinks and treats at school. Although that might not be possible because of the pandemic then maybe next year you can! (whenever this pandemic is over)

      My parents flipped when they heard the word "Lolita" come out of my mouth because of the unfortunate connotation of the word due to a certain book turned movie long ago. I made them read the interview with Jenna Winterberg and Michelle Nguyen, the Editors of The Gothic and Lolita Bible, and they became a little more accepting once they realized it wasn't what they thought. I don't know if you can still find the article since that was in 2008... but compile articles and facts about lolita fashion that proves there is nothing bad or sexual about it and it may help.

      I read somewhere that "kawaii" style came as a sort of rejection of forced femininity, like a pretty pink version of punk. (Which is something I can really appreciate) so I guess it's not a contradiction on their part, but still that's so weird of them and I hope they chill out soon 💖

    Just want to add to the makeup section that makeup is NOT a requirement.
    I wear makeup for events/meet ups like described. Something very natural looking that isn't heavy.
    But for day to day, so most times I wear lolita, I don't wear make up. Maybe I'd wear a lipgloss if I feel like it, but usually nothing at all.
    This works well for me personally. Some people feel makeup helps complete the look, but it's not a necessity.

    • @UnicornPrincess

    Hot tip for cheap/new lolitas, vintage bed jackets (you know the ones that every charity shop has several of that never sell) are great for casual lolita. The frilly collars are indistinguishable from an actual blouse from a distance! Pop a few cute buttons on the front if it doesn't already have them and bam you have a "lolita blouse" for like $2

      Hey, we're in the same boat! I discovered Lolita fashion by complete accident in middle school and have been smitten ever since. Unfortunately I've never gotten the chance to get any pieces for a number of reasons (unsupportive parents, no job, etc). Hoping that once I finally get a job of my own I can finally get my hands on my first coordinate and start building my wardrobe!

    I love it when said, "You don't need to justify why are you wearing (that) clothes" (lolita to be exact). People really has this thinking that lolita is weird and is associated with being childish, but it's true that we don't awe them an explanation bec Lolita is a Fashion! Just like Kfahsion, normal fashion and so on. It's just it's extravagant and an eye catching fashion. I am not living the lolita life like some of the lolita enthusiasts, like you, and I highly respect all of you. I began my lolita adventure just last year, bec I find it cute and princes-like. I feel confident and pretty everytime I'm in lolita and I'm really glad I discovered it.
    It may not be normal to other people and will give us that staaaare everytime they see us wearing it, but who cares? It's our life and it's our money!
    Thanks for the very informative video 🤗❤️

    Thank you! I am new to Lolita this spring, wish I could have watched this a few months ago. Love your coord by the way. You probably should have mentioned that it isn't 'legal' to request customs fraud and some selling sites will understandably refuse to state a low value, so paying the customs charge is going to be a fact of life, which will in addition include VAT in some cases plus the £8 or £12 handling fee depending on the method of shipping (courier incurs more charges). Worst case scenario this has added around 25% to some of my orders to the UK sadly.

    I've been wanting to wear lolita since years before I knew of it's existence. I'm still pretty new to it, and I'm loving it. I like the modesty a lot, as I was assigned male at birth, so looking like a girl and being immodest is pretty much impossible for me. I lean more in the direction of classic lolita, although I'm also really interested in military fashion, so I've been looking to see if there's a place where those meet.

      Hello! It's awsome that you want to get into lolita! If you love the dresses, go for it! However, please consult with your local comminity before joining them for a tea or a meetup. Most are probably older teens/adults, and might not feel comfortable having someone as young as you around. Ask just in case!
      Also probably stay clear from Amazon. The dress might be of very bad quality, and I found that in lolita it's amways best to invest a little more and get a dress you will be prouf of then pay for something with dubious quality, ene if cheaper.

    Btw!! A few questions. First of all, is it okay to wear lolita in public? Because I'm a bit shy and don't really like to stand out but I believe in expressing myself more so I'm not sure. I'm more into classic lolita but I would like to try the other styles but I have black hair and don't really want to wear a wig nor dye it, would or could it work with sweet lolita? I really wanna be able to pull it off as well as you do

And thank you XD im sure youl be great! 🥰

  • @Rakealia

    ^__^ Thank you for the guide. My husband loves the lolita style in general, pretty much across the board, although I think he favors sweet, and I would like to very much get into this at some point, though I want to work on my sewing so I can get better at doing this myself (I'm good at designing patterns, just not using a sewing machine yet). And I know he also would like to match me with a more princely style as well, so making some of it myself to coordinate sounds like the way to go for us. Still, this really gives me some ideas and inspiration and explains the different types and layers involved.

  • @Darling_Decay

    I plan to get my first Lolita soon, just a simple gothic Lolita (black and white type) jsk that has illustrated cartoon black cat prints with black crystals on a white background, and then an all off the shoulder see through long sleeve slight ruffle to show my color bone and shoulders (heehee), then I plan to eat my spider web tights or something similar, black underskirt, maybe a corset or a black ribbon to accentuate my waist a bit and help separate if that makes since, then my goth platform boots. I’m very into gothic Lolita but also super pastel gothic type Lolita however I know my favorite colors I wear almost everyday and will always feel beautiful in is black and white with a touch of pink

    You are so pretty and this style is so gorgeous - I'm new to lolita stuff, it started out with just liking cute chokers and liking playful girly style, and down the rabbit hole I went. Now planning to start making my own chokers, earrings and other for sale. Not still sure what is like an exact definition of lolita if I say I sell lolita accessories, so this video is so helpful.

    • @UnicornPrincess

      Lolita fashion is probably best defined by its victoriana and French rococo elements! So if you made bonnets, for example, I imagine that would go down really well!

    I have been thinking about trying this for a while, but some things are holding me back...
    1. I can't afford any of this because my family has been struggling financially since before corona and I'm a teenager.
    2. I have a (shid) ton of anxiety, specifically when I'm in public.
    3. I live in a very small town where everyone knows everything about each other.
    4. My legs get cold very easily so I don't want to freeze in any season except summer
    5. I don't want to spend so much on something I might not wear often.
    6. I don't know how to bring this up to my mom since I never mentioned anything similar to this before.
    I really want to be part of the lolita community, but with 6 semi-relevant things that would make me reluctant to join, I don't know if I should try it. This video really convinced me that it would be a good idea, but idk.

I'm almost ready to start buying designer pieces. I have replicas only to help me figure out what I actually like. I sew, too, so I can make my own unique pieces. In fact, I'm opening a business where I'll sell weird and kawaii clothes and accessories that I design called Mutants Unite!

    I have a couple questions if you don’t mind answering
    Is Lolita political?
    What is the history behind it?
    Is there anyone who can’t do it?
    Does Lolita have rules for how you should/can’t act?

    • @UnicornPrincess
      @UnicornPrincess  4 роки тому +18

      is lolita political? no, haha it's just a fashion. If it stands for anything, its rebellion against the status quo! History, it began in Japan in the late 80s as a rebellion against the growing trend of girls being very sexy and showy, it wanted to maintain a girly modesty. A kind of, dressing pretty for me and only me. It is created with inspiration from British victorian fashion, French rococo fashion, and Japanese pop culture.
      Yes, anyone can do it, its just a fashion :3
      And there are no rules on how to act. Like any fashion, there are conditions which make it lolita, for example, the shape, the puffy victorian style of skirt is a must. The modest covering is also a must so, no skirts high above the knee and no chest/ cleavage showing. But that's really all there is to it! many lolitas are "lifestyle lolitas" meaning the fashion is a larger part of there life, they might have kind of, "ladylike" hobbies like sewing, dancing, that sort of thing, but its not essential. Just what some of us are like!

      Well I'm in a similar situation but in my opinion you could ask if they could make time to talk to you about it first then just be honest! I'm sure they'd allow you to do it if it makes you happy. Though if the money problem comes up (because lolita stuff are really expensive agshgshdb) maybe you could do chores for allowance! It really depends on how open-minded your parents are so I'm not quite sure. Best of luck to you! Tell me how it goes :)

      Compile a backup of articles and facts about lolita fashion to show them there is nothing bad about it. Sadly, the word Lolita has a negative connotation due to an old book and movies by the same name, and absolutely nothing to do with the fashion. My parents flipped when they heard "lolita" because of this. A few articles and examples of what it really is to us helped make them more accepting.
