> when did you discover lolita? how old were you?
Middle school, at about 13. I was constantly surrounded myself with weeb and weeb-inspired stuff, so it was only a matter of time. I was shocked to discover that not only was there a way to dress like muh animu irl without it being a costume or based on any specific character, but that there was an entire subculture dedicated to it as a fashion. I was hooked.

> what substyle first interested you?
I was an edgy emo, so I wanted all black, not realizing that kuro =/= gothic. After doing more research, I leaned more towards classic. I was also a little into historical fashion, so it then became a thing of "muh edwardian summer"

> what was your first dream dress? did you ever get it?
First legit brand dress I became fixated on was IW's Marie Rose OP. Had the chance to get it a while ago, but I realized it just doesn't do it for my anymore...

> first brand dress?
Heh, I'm nervous that this might be incriminating, but IW's Berangere Rose. Bought it straight from the online store summer sale and boy was that a rush.

> did any particular coords, pics, media, etc make you fall in love with lolita?
All of the pics from lolitafashion.org, mainly the kuro ones like pic related. I tried to revisit the site in the past but alas, both it and hellolace are gone. I wish there was a way I could determine which photos were on the site so I can track them down for myself.

> how have your tastes changed?
I wear all three substyles interchangeably now, despite the fact that in middle school I was very indifferent towards sweet and bright colors in general. I was also very humbled by just looking at the fashion and the thought wearing it or even coming close to owning it was a distant dream.
