>Why the fuck would someone get dressed up in lolita at home just because?

That anon is ridiculous but so are you. I don't wear just for people to see me in it. I like wearing lolita so I do it. I'm not going to instantly rip everything off the second someone won't see me in it and if I want to wear it but don't want to go anywhere I will. I'm not emulating anyone, it's called actually liking something enough to do it on my own.

>doing nothing

Sewing, knitting, reading other books, talking to/skyping people you can't visit, browsing sale comms/auctions/cgl/cof, playing video games, messing around with a collection, cleaning out you closet, woodcarving, drawing, eating food that isn't messy and not being a pig about it, cooking/baking things that aren't messy with proper protection, and I could go on and on. Going out is much more dangerous than all the hobbies above combined. Unless you like to make pottery, paint, or workout a lot most indoor hobbies are perfectly fine.

>in a dress that costs hundreds of dollars and can be costly to get cleaned

Do you only buy the newest dresses and refuse to buy secondhand for anything but the most sought after pieces? I mean 350 can be standard for a new dress but phrasing it that way makes it sound like you mean at least 500 for every dress. I'll admit I prefer old school, innocent world, and buy casual so I get my stuff much cheaper than most but that's even less that what I listed and if you have super expensive taste that's on you. Besides iphones are $600 and most normies I know get a new one every time they come out and treat them like shit. Do you never use your phone because it could get broken or stolen? Never drive a car because someone could scratch it or crash into it? Clothes were meant to be worn. If you're into it almost solely as a collector's hobby and only wear it to show it off that's fine, but don't get your panties in a twist over people wearing their own damn clothes.
