Probably a velveteen BPN swallowtail jacket with lace on the bottom and sleeves that I unfortunately have no picture of.
>do you remember what pic made you fall in love with gothic lolita?
Not a pic but gif related.
>were you a goth first or a lolita first?
At 15 I considered myself goth but really I was just a cringy teen with a horrible dress sense (typical edgy "goth" teen style) and a fondness for The Cure. Then I got into classic lolita and three years later transitioned into gothic lolita.

Obviously I don't know what you look like, but I might know where that feeling is coming from.
Even though I'm not overweight at all and I like my figure, a lot of lolita used to make me feel frumpy, broad and generally clownish. I felt like my face and body would never be delicate enough to make the frills look like they belonged.
Turns out for me, the problem was all cut and colours. Just lengthening the straps on some of my jsks made a world of difference. Wearing long sleeves instead of puff sleeves. I discovered that Innocent World's regular bodice cut is the worst for people with a large waist/bust difference like me. Finally, pastels and creams look plain wrong with my skin tone (although curiously enough white is fine).

The point is, a dress can be gorgeous but if it doesn't fit your body and face it'll always look off even if other girls pull it off fine. They in turn probably have styles that look bad on them as well.
So if you can, experiment with colours and styles and cuts until you find something you feel beautiful in. I went through a whole bunch of dresses that I thought I looked just ok in until I found the style that made me really happy.
