Last Friday I had a good experience. I was walking through the food court at the mall when a little girl comes running up to me.
"Oh my gosh I love your dress!"
"Thank you, I love your Hello Kitty watch."
Thanks, she's my favorite! My grandma is going to take me on the carousel. I like the ponies. Bye bye now!"
As I was walking away I heard, "Grandma, mama, look at her dress! It's so gorgeous! "

I went to the cinema with some friends last friday. I wore somewhat casual sweet loli. Two girls behind me were obviously talking about me, so I felt slightly nervous, especially when one of them approached me.

Turns out her friend was too shy to ask me, but she wanted to know where I got my coat. Boy was I relieved. I was so surprised that I sort of blacked out, I told them I bought it online. I honestly didn't know where anymore, but I do know it now.

I went out to the bars on a Thursday night in Classic lolita with a friend, also dressed in Classic. My dress was super-basic, brown underbust, cream blouse, and boots.

Nobody was rude, a few people told us they liked our looks, and we were just going from bar to bar looking for good live music, walking down the street, and this girl across the street starts *screaming* at us.

"IT'S NOT HALLOWEEN BITCHES! IT'S NOT FUCKING HALLOWEEN! I'M GONNA FUCK YOU UP!" Her friends are holding her back from crossing the street and she keeps screaming and trying to get away from them so can, presumably, come kick our asses. We hurried along and they dragged her the other direction, so nothing happened, but I seriously thought that kind of shit was /cgl fake bullshit.

I was a little scared--she sounded genuinely pissed, not like she was joking, and they were full-on holding her from lunging at us.

Dressed in lolita for over five years and this is the first time something that bad has happened.

On a good note, I was once lost in Union Station in Chicago in lolita. I was running around the same place over and over again, and this very, very stoned guy approached me, and said, "you are, like, the most beautiful fuckin' thing. You are... everything. You're looking for that exit," and he pointed the way I needed to get out.

Thank you, friendly stoner. I appreciate the help and the compliment.

Yikes, sorry that happened anon! But yeah there are people like that and I don't know what's going on with them.

I had a lady with a fucking baby carriage give me shit for wearing pic related with a normal black slacks/dress shirt out on the street once. I was like 6 feet away from her and she looked like she wanted to fight me. Her friend was looking at her like she was crazy.

Then again, I guess I'm from the hood so...that's...to be expected? Actually, that's not an excuse. This was closer to a nicer area near me.

You get used to it, and then you end up not noticing at all. Whenever I dress up and go out, people I'm with have to point out when someone is staring or taking a picture. I might be grade A oblivious, but I just don't notice that shit anymore.

Ok so the crazy lady trying to fuck with you sucks and is scary but this is really sweet. I love the stories where people go out of their way to help you, in loli or not.

Sweet lolita looks a lot like ageplay from someone who doesn't know what they're looking at, to those of you questioning why you only get mean comments or don't receive any compliments when you're out in pink.

I have to take public transport to get anywhere (NYC) and I wear lolita fairly often, which means a lot of traveling solo in frills. At most I have people coming up to me to ask me about it, sometimes I get a row of seats to myself because no one wants to sit next to the weirdo in pettis.

Reverse lolita story: One time, this lolita on the NYC subway was dead ass staring at my boots. They're kind of flashy buckled combat boots, so I thought she was taking the holier more alternative than thou approach, since I've encountered sassy NYC bitch lolitas before. Then she smiled at me and told me she loved them and we had a lovely fashion moment.

Oh, man, that was such a weird night.

I mean, I've worn lolita long enough to understand that people will get curious, occasionally rude, and that drunk people will be drunk people, but damn, it was honestly uncomfortable when people got too close for comfort - wearing lolita or otherwise.

I remember that girl, but not as much as I remember the people who wanted to take photos with them. I'm fine with that because they asked for permission and it comes from wearing something out of the ordinary, but it was kind of uncool to have folks wrap their arms around my waist like we've known each other for a while.

I also recall some guy trying to get me to join his charity organization. It took a while to shake him off. Man. I don't know why people seem to think I'm approachable, even when I'm not in lolita.

Anything that isn't completely ordinary tends to confuse most people. Hell, at my uncle's wedding we were told to wear traditional middle-eastern clothing. So when I was leading four of my younger cousins to the ballroom we got on the elevator with a women and her two sons. The older one got really awkward and was rapidly looking over and back while the women was just staring intensely. After a few seconds he spoke up.
"... So. What's with the ..uhhh get-up?"
"It's for a wedding."
"Oh.... ok."
At that point my two older cousins starting giggling from awkwardness, and after taking a single step from the elevator they burst into laughter. When I turned around to scold them, I saw the kid standing there, shell-shocked, as the elevator closed.

Goddammit people are so cute.

I went to tea with my mom last week with the express purpose of getting pictures of my Milky Planet JSK and wearing out my new coat. The girls who worked there flipped out and really liked it- and there were a few little girls having birthday parties. I knew they were looking, but that's okay, I mean, I look funny, why wouldn't they?

One little girl asked for a picture with me, then the others. It was cute. Then some little girls from another party came back to stare at me, and were REALLY loudly whispering.

"She's so weird! She looks so dumb."
"Oh my gosh, look at her shoes, that's so weird."

I turned to smile at them and they collapsed in fits of giggles and said, "She's STARING AT US!"

I was like five feet away. I said, "You can talk to me, I don't bite?"

And she said, "Yeah you do, you're weird!"

The girls I took pictures with told them "No, she's really nice, she's not weird."

The whole thing was very strange. I wasn't insulted, I mean, they're kids. But damn, it was sad to see little girls already so jaded. They couldn't have been older than 8.

Well, as my high school teacher once said "children are pure evil."

On a more serious note, she probably got it from shitty parenting. Sometimes parents are absolute bitches, don't filter what they say in front of the kids or don't teach them well enough not to say stupid shit to strangers, and kids just parrot them. Seriously, kids don't have a morality meter until at least ten or eleven. I'm sorry you had to deal with bratty ass kids though. Kids in general grind my gears (no I'm not a kids person).

Typically little girls learn behavior like that from their mothers - if their moms are bitchy and gossipy, they start acting like that long before their peers.

That's what my mom said, too. I teach little kids how to sew, and I can instantly see that by how they're raised. 8 going on 18 kind of thing.

Not the story or food throwing anon, but he was wrong for that. There's nothing wrong with choosing that lifestyle, but he was inappropriate about it. It's not okay that he followed a young girl around and approached her sexually when she was alone. She felt threatened. Yeah he didn't physically harm her but he compromised her feeling of safety. Of course he's going to be judged and reacted to negatively. She wasn't jumping to conclusions. If it was me, I wouldn't throw food on him. I would kindly tell him "not interested" and if he persisted, tell him to leave me alone or I'd get security.

Also, I for one don't think that was that bad, he didn't touch her or anything he just said something which honestly, isn't that scary or bad. You're the kind of person making people not think this is a problem because you jump the gun and tell people to cry rape at the drop of a fucking hat.

At the time this happened I was into Gothic. This happened at the local elementary school when I was with a childhood friend picking up her little brother. I think it would have happened if I were wearing any style of lolita, honestly. The town I grew up in is full of close-minded individuals. Most younger girls scorned those who didn't wear yoga pants and ugg boots. Though, I did have some good experiences during my last year of high school.

one time, there was this girl who was trying to get some actual help, but the store employee was too busy hovering around me to notice her.

"what if it runs, theres no refunds on this"
"oh god, what if the soap dyes the brand (yes, I've had my clothes be dyed by soap before)

and with bodyline its just, "toss it in a protector bag, put it in the wash on cold"

brand has superior quality than bodyline, but for $300 I expect better quality than having my dresses run, be uncomfortable to wear, have scratchy material (mainly oldschool brand items were like this)

I expect to get what I paid for. I expect not to have a heart attack if I go out in the rain wearing brand, I expect things to be well constructed, and not sewn on wrong, I expect good customer service.

You're sort of right. A survey of inmates in for rape said they didn't really care what their victim looked like, mostly. They just needed someone they could drag to a secluded place quickly and easily. They aimed for girls with ponytails most since it's easy to grab, and long hair. Then clothes with easy access to their vagina/whatever they're aiming for. Not 'slutty' clothes, clothes they could easily get through. So dresses, leggings, pants, anything without a belt or layers, since those apparently waste precious time.

Classic lolita or Matronly Victorian Clothes have a few layers, so it would be difficult.

Other rapists usually already know their victims, so instead of counting on speed, they'll count on trust and usually have a secluded area in mind already. Their house, a friend's house, their victim's house, etc. A lot of those don't see themselves as rapists.

I've generally only had good experiences in Lolita. The only bad things I can think of off the top of my head were when some girls followed us into a shopping centre just to shout at us, and once when some girl in "cosplay" (quotes because not all cosplayers are crazy) kept shouting after us because we wouldn't respond to her frantic shouts of 'LOLI GIRLS. LOLITA-CHANS! LOLIS.'

Lately there's a woman and her son that I see a lot while waiting for the tram into town. The first time I saw them the kid kept saying really loudly 'That girl's hair is pretty!' (I was wearing a lavender wig), and the mother told me I looked like a princess. The kid is in awe whenver he sees me, and myself and his mother have a little smile and nod. It's the cutest thing.

Don't buy prints if you are actually worried about this. Seriously i have a decent sized brand wardrobe and live in a tropical country so it rains a lot and this has never been an issue for me though i mostly own solids or florals. Also most plain cotton AP can be "Thrown in the washing machine" just like your bodyline.

Kind of know this feel. I'm crazy about Lolita fashion and got my exgf into it, really miss it. I'm not into the princess/sugar baby/ageplay shit or anything (don't even like sweet stuff, more into Goth/Classic/pseudo-victorian/etc), I just think the outfits are super cute and since I'm a dude and can't do anything with them myself I enjoy dating somebody who does. Shit, I want another GF who's into the style.

I was dressed super casually in a black velvet AP JSK that has a print with white ribbons. That was my only loli piece, everything else was just like a black loose cardigan, tights, matching scarf, black suede boots, etc. Really the only loli thing about it is the shape of my silhouette from my petticoat.

I wore it to the last day of fall semester classes and got a lot of compliments for it, with a lot of, "Why are you dressed so nice today?" since I usually wear t-shirt and jeans to class. I also saw Frozen later that night so it was a good time to wear lolita.

The chances that some beta faggot rapes his female friend at a party or in a lone moment is much higher then some random strangr raping a girl because she wears some frills.

Still wear Lolita sometimes, but feels bad, man. Everyone stares at you if you come to classes in something else than jeans/tshirt like you were mad.
I wish I would not be so socially awkward...

I have to agree with you. That is downright creepy. I find it especially creepy since he asked where her father was, as if she was underage. I've dealt with a ton of pedophiles in my time and I'm both surprised and disgusted that so many seagulls are defending this guy. His proposition was violating and unwarranted.

It's intimidating for most people to talk to you if you're dressed much "fancier" than they are. But you can teach yourself to talk to people and be more outgoing.

Hey man, I know those feels. I wear OTT sweet to school every day (senior in high school in small town Maine) and people act like I'm the weirdest thing they've ever seen. Naturally, I only have one or two friends haha there is a freshman who likes to compliment my "cosplay" every other day at lunch though. Mixed feelings, but its nice nonetheless. Don't get discouraged. Fuck those people, do what you love.

This is actually my fear, so I always just plan to start out the school in more fancy, but still obviously j-influenced normalfag clothes, then slowly switch over to incorporating lolita.

I'm a theatre major at a liberal arts school, though, and my first day one of my classmates asked me if I make cosplays when I mentioned sewing, so it's probably expected that I'll be dressing a bit out there.

The joke is kinda funny I guess but still widely inappropriate and creepy considering he was an old man and you were only 13.
The way you handled it made me laugh though, it was cute.

I was in Japan, in Harajuku, and this Japanese kid, like 10 wants her mom to take a picture of her with me with her ipad. Her mom was like "Wow, you like cosplay?" I think she was surprised a foriegner was wearing lolita. The girl called me cute, but she was probably being friendly.
Later that day, somewhere else, a high school girl pointed at me to her classmate and said I was kawaii.
