Hello gulls. I'm a lolita enthusiast really interested in the Hime Lolita substyle and its extravangant princess concept for a long time. However I always wonder :

How would you describe this style ?

What makes a good Hime Lolita coordination ?

What are its main influences ?

Inspirations pics are very welcome.

Princess/himeloli is pretty much what it sounds like - lolita clothing a princess might wear. This style is very much inspired by Rococo (rather than Victorian) and is very fancy, with a mini-crown or tiara to complete the look. But don't think a pink dress and a crown will make you a hime lolita--coordination is key!

Sometimes (but not often) the traditional loli silhouhette of a bell-shaped skirt is extended to a more full-length dress, usually with a slightly lower and squared neckline to balance out the fullness of the skirt (not a plunging neckline or anything). This is a difficult modification to pull off correctly and should be avoided by beginners. Jumpers can be found as well, but not as many blouse/skirt outfits. Overall in my opinion, it's the most feminine and fancy of all the Lolita styles, and often the most extravagant.

The normal Lolita hairstyle is already hime, but many girls girl it too

This should say many girls curl it. It's a hime gyaru influence.

For some reason, anytime I see this picture I always think it's Ayumi Hamasaki. I live for Misako in a blonde wig though.

was trying to ID a dress earlier and this beautiful array of AP pieces populate the search results.
AP really makes great pieces that can be used for hime.
btssb and some MM are great too, a bit more mature in their designs

It's not really a term people use a lot anymore, it really harkens more to the 2010 era of OTT sweet and hime bumps, but I suppose newer sweet fashions, like the crown, veil, sceptre combo is an evolution of it.
