I would love to learn more about Lolita, how it was created and how it changed in time.<br />I would also like to know which things haven't changed at all from the begining, which would lead to the controversial topic in Lolita: "rules". I would love to know if there are elements of Lolita fashion which stayed, as a kind of canons of Lolita fashion... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516436003585044380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-78128081897643429142014-04-07T15:11:06.662-07:002014-04-07T15:11:06.662-07:00Lolita is so affordable now, too, when you are sho...Lolita is so affordable now, too, when you are shopping off-brand! I got interested in lolita in 2006, and at that time there was really only brand and scam sites. Bodyline was VERY frowned upon at the time, I remember. That's the whole reason I picked up decora in the first place. I was a "lifestyle decora" for two years, wearing it every single day, with more casual decora outfits on the weekend. Nowadays I am trying to form more of a lolita wardrobe. I still prefer to make my own clothes right now since I am a proud fatty-chan. I make clothes that look good on me, and I have pretty much mastered the square pleated skirt. Lolita is the whole reason I learned to properly sew in the first place, and when I find a lolita who doesn't know how to sew, even by hand, I question how they can even get by.Emily Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296712712651859224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-87681124756424096872014-04-07T12:37:25.440-07:002014-04-07T12:37:25.440-07:00I heard of it back in 2011, but I recently really ...I heard of it back in 2011, but I recently really got into it last summer, so I'm certainly not very familiar with the old-school styles. :(The Unorthodox Nunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509208734446883259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-10743765980965536552014-04-07T08:51:38.089-07:002014-04-07T08:51:38.089-07:00I didn't get into Lolita until sweet was getti...I didn't get into Lolita until sweet was getting popular, so that's probably why I have such a love of old school sweet. Even though I wasn't around for the Lolita dark ages, just as a commenter above has said, WOW has it changed even in that short of a time. I miss the fashions from the days I discovered it too, and get really nostalgic about seeing old sweet outfits. I found this to be a very sweet and interesting article even though it was just a few musings about the past. :]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-90592231545375796402014-04-06T12:26:34.550-07:002014-04-06T12:26:34.550-07:00Oh my, that is AWFUL!Oh my, that is AWFUL!Lilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-89636550796071948072014-04-03T13:46:07.015-07:002014-04-03T13:46:07.015-07:00I've always really loved Old School because I&...I've always really loved Old School because I'm not that much of a busy print person. But I always laugh when an old school coord comes up and someone, somewhere, is crying ita. Because I actually find them very cute, and I don't understand how others don't sometimes! <br />I do love to sew skirts and make them personal pieces you can't really buy anywhere, but some days it's just like, "I don't have time for that!" or "THAT DRESS. I NEED IT." lol (In which EGL Sales and Lace Market come in handy) But most times I prefer being crafty, because there will always be that one little thing on a dress or skirt that i just can't stand, y'know?Sydney Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951133201796590264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-52957294288401042492014-04-03T11:38:32.665-07:002014-04-03T11:38:32.665-07:00Actually, a lot of those things would be consider ...Actually, a lot of those things would be consider "ita" xDDD I think that styles change and everyone have to dress what they like!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828424829208518581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-14953285896445021632014-04-03T04:24:57.574-07:002014-04-03T04:24:57.574-07:00I just remember first time I found Lolita in 2008 ...I just remember first time I found Lolita in 2008 and Lolita has changes sooo much just from then to when I started to wear lolita in 2011Churihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402433992970348291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-32797306158826542462014-04-03T02:30:56.546-07:002014-04-03T02:30:56.546-07:00Nice post, I learned about lolita in about 2005 an...Nice post, I learned about lolita in about 2005 and it was also about handmade, thrifted and ancient grandma´s clothes, Bodyline and Anna House were a rarity brands and we could only dream about BSSB or AP. On the other hand - I learned how to sew and sew my clothes on a daily basis now, so this shortage of lolita clothes actually gave me something :) Georgianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233691112685889830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-47616396627107234302014-04-02T19:19:27.116-07:002014-04-02T19:19:27.116-07:00oooh man, this just reminded me of this one time, ...oooh man, this just reminded me of this one time, ages ago, I was in HotTopic ... fully dressed in my velveteen brand lolita best! .. and someone came up to me and said "oh wow, HT clothes head and toe" and I guess they meant it as compliment but I almost cried at the insultchisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617333418599281598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023134183255884485.post-62546392490135058172014-04-02T14:22:25.794-07:002014-04-02T14:22:25.794-07:00This was before I got into Lolita, but I certainly...This was before I got into Lolita, but I certainly remember the Hot Topic failures.
