>But the princess you want to look like is a children costume rendition as sold by Disney and Walmart or Japan. Not pic related (not an expert on medieval clothing here). Just accept that the sweet aesthetic is infantile and that's why it's less socially acceptable. That doesn't make it a fetish, it doesn't mean you can't dress like that.

Fucking Christ, I'm not even a Sweet Lolita but all this bullshit is driving me nuts.
>abloo abloo Sweet is something only little girls would like
Are you fucking kidding me. Take two seconds to look at what women wore in Rococo, Baroque or even the Victorian/Edwardin age from which many dresses take their inspiration. Pic related because it's the first pink dress that came to my mind; it has many elements aside from huge prints that Sweet dresses have today. Just think about the shit tons of bows, flowers, lace, similar shape with tons of "poof" and other OTT stuff that you probably would not find in most Classic dresses as they are often more toned down; these dresses like pic related were once worn by grown women too (not to mention childrens' fashion used to be adult fashion just in children size). It's only by today's standards that by putting a bow in your hair or wearing a pink Lolita dress everyone suddelny screams "OMG no grown women would ever wear this lel Sweet Lolita is so weird and childish!!1 XD"

Sure, it's not what society consideres as "mature" or "fashionable" or normal anymore, but this shitty argument and all the whining about Sweet being so childish and whatever the fuck people claim it to be grinds my gears to no end.
