/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>mum is into historical stuff and likes classic and gothic lolita - I show her documentaries and pics of things I'm buying sometimes. Thinks OTT sweet is babyish but I don't wear it so it doesn't matter. She's not into fashion herself but she encourages me to dress up nice because she fears me reverting to my preteen tomboy state.
>dad doesn't really know much about lolita. He's only seen me in a gothic coord once, which he responded to with bemused tolerance (I think he thought I was trying on a witch costume). I get the impression he thinks it's odd, but it doesn't matter much because I don't live with him.
>younger siblings are into other alt fashions. They both like lolita but they're still in school so it's too expensive for them, although one borrows my stuff sometimes and has saved up for a couple of Bodyline pieces.
>aunt was a punk when she was younger and thinks lolita is cool but doesn't really understand the fashion at all and isn't interested enough to let me explain it to her.
>uncle is okay with it but sometimes conflates it with lolicon/anime and thinks he knows more about it than me because he's been to Japan on business twice.
>grandma has seen me in a velvet JSK on Christmas and loved it, although she said it would have looked nicer without a blouse and complained about me wearing a wig. She always bought me clothes like that when I was a kid. There are some dresses, like pic related, that I know she'd love but I think she'd respond badly to most substyles and she's blunt enough that if she thought a print was fugly she'd nag me about it the whole time I was visiting.
>great-aunt is into sewing and likes it because of the emphasis on garment quality and the fifties silhouette, but is a bit confused by the style overall although she likes to ask me about it. Often tells me about dresses she's seen in thrift shops that "look just like that thing you wear" that are actually really not.

None of my other relatives have seen me in lolita.
