> when did you discover lolita? how old were you?
I think I vaguely knew about lolita for a long time, since I was interested both in alternative fashion and Japanese culture. I started actively learning about it when I was about 20 years old.
> what substyle first interested you?
Classic, but I was interested in gothic as well.
> what was your first dream dress? did you ever get it?
I don't have much money, I can't afford to have a dream dress, I guess ): If I had one it would probably be from MM or VM. But finding a particular piece within an okay (for me) price range is not very likely, especially since MM and VM aren't common secondhand. I usually don't look for a specific dress. I prefer to buy something I like and that is within my budget.
> first brand dress?
Eglantyne OP by MM.
> did any particular coords, pics, media, etc make you fall in love with lolita?
Not really. I remember reading a manga, Othello, whose protagonist secretely was a lolita. I actually hated it though, it was so bad, ahah.
> how have your tastes changed?
I still love the things I loved back when I started, so classic and gothic. But today I can also appreciate toned down or simple sweet. I never thought I'd want to wear otome, too, but today I consider it more creative than lolita (in some cases) and more wearable for everyday life.
