ymmv though. It really depends a lot on what wardrobe, what dress, the climate, etc.

The cut that does not interfere with most jsk necklines and (mini) sleeves/shoulder straps is the high neck, long-sleeved blouse. However, if you live somewhere warm it can be annoying, and if you pair it with crew socks it'll look unbalanced because the top half looks unbalanced and the bottom half looks so bare. In that case you're better off with a more open neckline and shorter sleeves, or a cutsew blouse instead.

For the other details: Pick an obviously lolita blouse that has details in front (so it doesn't look too normie) and has ruffles on the waist (covers elastic waist skirts). Princess seams with waist ties to tighten them is the most flattering for skirts, you can always tuck in blouses, but if it also looks good untucked over the skirt then it gives you additional coord options.

For the material, stick to something opaque (in case you want skirts), isn't obviously stiff cotton (jarring with polyester dresses), isn't obviously shiny satin (jarring with everything), and drapes well. It doesn't need to be polyester -- cotton lawn, poplin, etc will also do the trick. In case of skirts, also get a cami in your skintone to wear underneath.
