I once saw a few lolitas in town when I was with my cosplay group. They seemed to be really happy and showed no concern for what people thought of them, they also all looked really good. I almost envy that.

There is just something so nice about it, these days all you see is skanky drunk bitches in mini skirt and bras trying to pass them off as outfits but these girls were fully covered and looked so charming. I know its odd to say this but thats the sort of thing I look at as the perfect marriage.

A well dressed girl, loving who she is but is fully clothed and not whorish. My girlfriend is into lolita but she tends to wear jumpers and jeans a lot because she has not got the courage to wear any of her dresses in her own town. If we ever go to a lolita meet ups she get dressed at the train station and these meets are usually mega far away. (At least a 2 hour train journey)

She has only just got into lolita but she is passable, a sweet lolita I think she has a few dresses from Bodyline, Angelic Pretty and AATP. If it helps she's a UK size 12, with tiny feet and an average complexion so I.d guess she's pretty good for lolita size standards. She did her research before even wearing the fashion but I still do not understand why she is so ashamed to wear it in our own town. Our town is usually full of goths and alternatives, so I can't see why her wearing lolita is that big a deal.

Any one else got a similar story or may know what she may be feeling? Cause personally I think she's being stupid. I know boyfriends tend to be like "My girl is pretty blah blah" but no my girl is actually pretty, she not (by magazine standards) Angelia Jolie, she's more of a Sarah Michealla Galla (or whatever her name is) so she's pretty good looking and I know lolita fashion is HUGE on how a girl looks.

Because maybe she wouldn't be comfortable going out in full goth gear either. I would suggest to her to try going out in very casual lolita. Something that's less JAPANESE OTT WIGS ACCESSORIES BUNNIES CANDY WOAH MAN and more 'That's a real pretty dress, you going somewhere special?'

I think it's rather careless of you to call her stupid, considering she's likely to go here, and you've said several identifiable things (2 hour train ride, brands she wears, actress she looks like).
I hope you're polite and supportive of her. It's not a crime to be shy.

One time going back home with a different friend while we were hanging out outside walking around, cause I needed the toilet and my house was closer, we were wearing nothing that sticks out (friend had maybe a black vest top on cause it's the summer, maybe she had a coloured streak in her hair). There was a huge gang of about 6+ chavs on bikes, infront of these steps that lead up to a bridge, acts as a shortcut as a different way would have added an extra 10 mins. Why did we not turn around instead of walking by?? (Probably if we did and they spotted this they would have followed, a couple were in my year I think others I recognised but were older). However LUCKILY the only abuse we got from walking past them was them shouting 'greebo!' at us/my friend, even though the only reason we really stuck out was because we weren't dressed like chavs.

I live down the block from a court house where they hold traffic court (yeah, I know what you're thinking, but the neighborhood is not as sketchy as it sounds). Anyway, there's a crowd of urban teens standing outside the courthouse as I walk down the opposite side of the street in sweet lolita. I'm politely ignoring them, but I hear one of them starting to shout, "excuse me, EXCUSE ME."

So I brace myself for the obvious verbal impact, but the next thing he shouts is, "YOU LOOK LOVELY."

Whenever I go wear lolita in public, the response varies.
Since there are a lot of older people here, the older women will come up a lot of the time and smile or say something like 'that reminds me just of this dress I had when I was a little girl!" but they're like, fucking old as shit.
This normally is if I'm in EGL or classic lolita.

In sweet loli though I get a lot of strange stares.
Girls will compliment and ask me where I get pieces of clothing, but dudes will laugh.

Overall people like to ask where the clothes come from or ask if I'm doing that 'japanese cosplay thing'.
It's always interesting to see people's responses.

my reactions also vary around here, but i'm lucky that most have been very positive! i live in a small, super surburban town, but i normally wear lolita out in our capital city.

the good:

>went to Trader Joe's in lolita once, cute shop boy said, "I wish all girls dressed like you!"
>went out to tea with my local comm, random guy bought expensive champagne for the whole table
>man pulls over while i'm walking on the sidewalk, "you have the most beautiful hair i've ever seen!" didn't have the heart to tell him it was a wig.
>took the train in lolita and while waiting at the station, a lady came up to tell me i had lovely skin
>also waiting for a train, two security guys come up to me and i'm sorta worried, they look kinda scary, but are incredibly pleasant and genuinely interested in the fashion!
>went with a friend to grab coffee, get out of his car and the van next to us was getting ready to leave. a dad was belting his son into his seat and the little boy very very excitedly shouts, "DADDY! A PRINCESS!!" :')

the meh:
>passive agressive insults (i once went to Starbucks in lolita and while waiting for my drink, a guy told me his son was wondering where my sheep went, and when his son was near me, i told him i didn't have any sheep and the kid looked at me like wtf are you talking about, i stand back up and look at the father and said, "next time if you try to insult someone, perhaps you shouldn't hide behind your son" he didn't like that lol
>at the museum with a friend in a kodona, some lady in passing quietly says to me, "did you twoo lose your playground?" and i loudly say, "no, we didn't. any other questions?" and the security guy came over to me and asked if anything was wrong

I live in a rural part of the UK and tend to wear toned down classic or country and haven't really had a bad response ever. Most people don't say anything, or I get compliments saying I look lovely, or saying I look like I've stepped out of a film or something similar.

It may just be the part of the UK that I live in but in the towns nearby no one really makes any rude comments. The local town is pretty trendy and alternative so I get less responses there as I tend to blend in with all the other alternative fashions. Though the other town is more run down and 'chavvy' but again people aren't rude, I've gone into shops and the staff go up to me and ask me "Why are you dressed like that?" more out of curiosity than rudeness.

Then again, I could just be incredibly oblivious to snickering and rude comments, but what I don't know isn't going to kill me.

Fashion. Fashion changes. Look at the history of the typical sort of clothes people used to wear and you'll see how different they are over time. There were still fringe cases of people wearing unusual or old stuff, but the general case was more common, more "acceptable".

The fashion of today is not lolita, so of course by the standards of todays fashion, you look weird and unusual. Is it wrong for people to react to someone wearing weird clothes? Isn't it normal to be amused or a little bit freaked out by something so unusual?

sure they have the right to do whatever they want but they have to accept the consequences of their actions. many people lack self control and empathy. sure you may strongly disagree with others at times but reacting with violence is not the answer. both physically and/or verbally. hurting someone over how they dress is ridiculous. if it is that annoying, look away, dont throw a hot drink at the person or yell insults, that would only make you a huge asshole. if its a negative reaction you have towards someone and its for no good reason, keep it to yourself.

Besides this, wearing leather and bondage gear doesn't necessarily mean that one has a BSDM fetish.

Whereabouts do you live?

I've never had a bad reaction. I live near Brighton, UK, so I can go out in lolita and not be the most unusually dressed person in town, especially in the evening. Cyber goths, aristocrats, drag queens, scene kidds, emo kids, you name them and they'll be out drinking.

Old ladies always say that I remind them of when they were young. A couple of people recognise that it's lolita. A girl who used to be in my class at college loved it and talked to me for about half an hour about 'princess dresses'. My favourite experience, though, by far was when I got photographed by some style journalists at Graduate Fashion Week. That was a good day.

I will say that people staring doesn't always mean they think you look stupid. My mother goes to a different college than I, and at the beginning of the year there was a Japanese lolita exchange student there, and my mother said she could never help staring at her outfits because they were really cool, and she always came home and told me about them. I don't know what the poor girl thought of it, though.

>> No.6716854

I think the cutest reaction I've ever gotten was at my comm's last meetup at some restaurant serving sunday brunch. I had gone to the bathroom and when I opened the door to re-enter the restaurant, there was this little girl with her mom standing outside waiting. She had on one of those tutus that are all the rage for kids right now. When she saw me, her eyes got so big! I thought I had frightened her, but when I looked at her mom to apologize, she was smiling. The rest of the meal, the girl was on and off staring at me, and when we went to take a group picture by the sitting area of the restaurant, her mom walked her over and they watched us take pictures. :) It was so cute~

My family is to the point where they don't even notice if what I'm wearing is out of the norm. My mom has said that if we're out together and I'm in lolita, she gets really confused why people are staring because she forgets it's not "normal".
She really loves seeing when I get new stuff in the mail - my favorite was when she said to me, "I always love how nice the lace is on your lolita stuff!" Made me laugh, because she has no clue about bad lace v. good lace.
But I'm the artistic one in a family of athletes (both parents and 3 siblings), so I guess they figure it comes with the territory.

As far as public reactions, I've never gotten anything overwhelmingly negative. I think the worst/funniest was when a friend and I got asked if we were pledging for a sorority. No, we actually chose to wear these dresses, thanks.

Went out in loli again, had quite the experience. I went shopping with my older sister in a busy mall.

My sis was trying on some pants and while I waited for her, this little boy was looking at me. I guess he was 4 years old, he ran up to me and when I smiled at him he ran back giggling shyly. It was so cute.

In another store, we were waiting at the cash register, a lady and her daughter (maybe 3 years old?) were standing behind us. The little girl said: "Mommy, mommy look! She's so pretty!" Her mom said something along the lines of: "Yes, look at those pretty bows!" And the girl kept saying hi to me, it was so. flipping. cute. She giggled whenever I waved and said hi back.

While I was walking with my sis, an older man came up to me, as in really old.

>Hello!
Oh hello!
>Aren't you a sweetie!
T-thank you
>You're shy aren't you? How cute

Then my sis pulled me aside and told me he's the neighbourhood pedo.. Okay that's a bit awkward. But it was just a conversation. Of course my sister had to get aggressive, I luckily calmed her though!

I've heard a lot of reactions, mostly good. People coming up to ask with genuine nature what the fashion was about and so on. Most recently, a friend from the local comm and I went to pick up my boyfriend from the dorms at the college he goes to. We had to sign in as visitors, and the international student behind the desk said that we looked like dolls. That was a happy moment! Another time in the fall, at a corn maze, the girl running loved how we were dressed so much, she asked if we could stay until closing and come back out the following days! That same time, this kid kept trying to yell insults at us, the best one in my opinion was when he yelled, "ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE A POLITICAL STATEMENT OR SOMETHING?"

Lol. But, in all reality, the most precious to me is when my mom was in the hospital, the nurses loved it when I came up in lolita (once after church and once after a meetup at the park down the street). They were kind and loving, it helped my mother and I both in a difficult time.

I told her "well, there is this fashion community where everyone wears this type of thing, and I'm going to go hang out with these girls who also wear this. there are entire communities all over the world for this online"
she looks at me, and asks,
"are you in a cult? I'm really concerned."
she looked super concerned too.
yes grandma. lolita is just part of a huge japanophilia cult where we all get together and worship our glorious manasama.

When your entire family agrees its a bad idea, and you are a good half hour away from the meetup and no one can carpool with you, you can't really do much.

In the end, I just ended up wearing lolita that day anyway while my aunt scoffed at me and kept saying things like "you can wear this now because you don't have a job, but once you get a job you won't be able to wear any of.. well.. that. no one really wants an employee into "alternative fashion' or whatever you call it in their workplace."

Last week I wore lolita to college, had a whole drama about my clothes and wore jeans and shirts to hide for a while.

Today, I had to do a math test at college and when I gave my papers to the teachers, one of them said this:

"Hey! You wore those cute clothes last week right? You're the lolita girl! How come you're not wearing any lolita clothes today? You look so cute in them, it really fits you."

That totally made my day~

Not completely related, but do any of you have social anxiety, too? When I have to go out in public areas with lots of strangers I get extremely nervous, and often feel as if everyone is looking at me. There's no particular reason they should all be looking at me so I start to make up reasons, like that they think I'm ugly or my hair looks weird or there's a tear in my trousers or my makeup's a mess. None of these are true (I think?) but my brain drives me crazy with them anyway.
Wearing lolita, in a toned-down way, really helps me deal with that. Because when I'm dressed out of the ordinary, it makes perfect sense that people stare. I feel much less insecure and even feel proud of the way I look for a change, especially if it's a handmade dress. I'd never go out in something too attention-grabbing or in certain neighbourhoods, though, because anything beyond stares is definitely unwanted.

Lolita gives me a certain amount of control over the way people perceive me, and I like that. In person people tend to be very positive, and even though I'm really terrible at taking compliments it's nice when people notice something about a thing I did, like the handmade dress.
Somehow being weird makes me feel less awkward. It's hard to explain.

Long story short:
Two girls in my made fun of me, talked behind my back and took "secret" pictures. Two other girls noticed, told me, got pissed at the other two. Both sides got in a slight catfight. After that happened a classmate came up to me and started to tell me (you could tell she was acting/sarcastic) that she just loved what I was wearing. Then she politely asked for a picture, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She went over to the first two girls to show them the picture and started pointing/gossiping.

The first two girls that were making fun of me are in my team for an assignment that takes a month and haven't talked to me the whole week.
>>6724130
Well the above, I was wearing sweet. I had a few people in the hallway talking about me in a very uhh.. subtle way. "GUYS SHE'S LOOKING SHHH STOP FOR NOW"

The usual stares, but other then that quite some positive ones too. Someone called me a fairytale princess and quite a few called me cute/were curious about the fashion. These posts are also mine >>6716080 >>6718480

I also remembered something today, I was at the grocery store and asked a man if he knew where I could find the tissues. But when I approached him he quickly walked away and ignored me. It was almost as if he was scared of me. That got me pretty sad. But still, I love the fashion so I'll probably wear it again tomorrow.

Those girls are bitchfaces and if this incident negatively affects the assignment, it's their fucking fault. Is there a teacher you could talk to about this? Not like to report them as meanies who teased you but because it's a good thing to straighten this shit out before it gets out of hand. if those girls are purposefully leaving you out because of awkwardness then that needs to be nipped in the bud.

How old are you and your classmates (sorry if this was asked in the previous thread)? Because this is typical middle school behaviour and anyone in college should really know better than this.

I'm going to be an elementary school teacher and as part of my coursework I've been volunteering as a student teacher. I've only been doing it for a few weeks but I've already had students stop me to say hi if they run into me with their parents in places around town like the mall and grocery store. None of them have caught me out in lolita/pop kei yet but I'm very worried it could be jeopardizing to my career once I start actually working if that were to happen and the parents became upset. Do I need to give up j-fashion entirely or at least stick to otome and very toned down classic lolita only?

Depends on your area, and what you're teaching. My drama teacher was a goth who made Victorian dresses all the time, and that was cool. If she'd been a maths teacher or something, it may not have gone down so well.

The students probably won't care, but the school board/parents might. You ought to think about whether the kids seeing you in lolita might undermine your authority in the classroom, though.

You should probably keep it toned down until you've got a good record. That way, you can show that you can teach and keep your interests out of the classroom.

Since we're on the subject, could I get some advice?

My boyfriend introduced me to pegging some time ago and we've been enjoying it fairly regularly ever since. Occasionally I've dressed him up in my clothes, things like panties, stockings, a bra, even my steel boned corset a couple of times.

I'm all cool with this and can find the scenario arousing despite not being that much into it naturally, but he had hinted at taking it further in the way of makeup and a wig.

Thing is, I don't think I could take him seriously when dressed like that. He is extremely masculine looking and very, very handsome, but in a makeup and wig he'd just look so fucking silly, I'd definitely burst out laughing and crush his sexual self-esteem forever.

Is there a way around this? Have any of you ever had to deal with this?

SO he wants you to dress him up and peg him but doesn't want to be demeaned? That's pretty..odd. If he does want to be demeaned then it's a whole different ballpark. You can channel those uncomfortable feelings into making him feel like shit. That's what I did when my boyfriend asked me to sissifye him with him in full make up and frilly apron despite his definite beard, broad shoulders, and thick arms.

Daily reminder that we don't give a shit what you think. And can you point me in the direction of little girls wearing huge petticoats, multi-color wigs, and lace gloves? Oh, that's right, kids don't actually wear this shit.

Lolitas go on cgl, guise?

One of these days, I'm going to get into a show at my uni, and wear lolita around town until someone asks if I am in a play. And then I'll go. "Yeah, I'm in Midsummer's Eve. We're opening this Thursday at the CPA. You should come!"

buh. I wish that people would understand that costumes are not allowed outside the shop or stage. They're expensive as fuck and you'll be fucked if you damaged or lost it.

I'd love to see it Nia!

I went to the opening of a Gamestore in a mall near me because I got an invitation. While I was heading there with my nephew, a man and woman were talking wildly. When I passed them they got silent and looked confused for a few seconds and the man shouted at me.

It took me a while to realise what he said, but he shouted: ''HEY PRINCESS!''

Made my day~

Not lolita, but I was wearing a few mori pieces one day, and people who worked for my college's newspaper asked me for a picture. Turns out they needed more girls in alternative college fashion :/ I got put under the "hippie/natural" category. Made me lol.
