Nice numbers.

I've picked up a vague idea of the Lolita fashion in passing, phrases get thrown around but I just about know what is going on when I occasionally step by. I like the fashion visually, Cute girls in stylish dresses with gorgeous hair are naturally very pretty to see, but I also really like the idea of the fashion community and small pseudo lifestyle that follows the hobby as "Catty" as it might be at times. I might have a poke into some of the threads out of curiosity and learn a thing or two, you never know when the information might be useful to know.

One question I am uncertain about, What does "Brand" mean in the context of Lolita? I see it get thrown around in a few different tenses and in odd contexts so can't quite be sure. is Brand a specific type of dress, or just a phrase for a favorite dress or specific manufacturer? Or is it quite literally "My high-end brand-name dress." Or is it something completely different entirely and I missed the ball.
