Elegant Gothic Lolita

[indigoskies]

ah, my friend tried out a black number and took a photo and to cut a long story short, it was extremely alluring.
although, the price tag didn't really interest her... >.<

That's the only negative to it. A dress from Japan alone can cost $200-$400. Although that hasn't stopped me from buying a few.

I looooooooooooove this look so much. I want to dress like this for fun next year a few times.

the shoes too, costing about the same price as the dresses.
crazy stuff.

are there any quality egl shops in america?

 

[AriellaV]

Not really.The best they've got is lolita-inspired stuff like at H & M or vintage shops. If you mean online shops in America then there's tons!

EDIT: Oh, there's a BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT in the works for L.A. and they already sell some clothes in NY at Kinokuniya bookstore.

 

[McGovLau]

I've been wanting to post these fantastic 'pyscho-Lolita' designs from Samantha Rei @ Blasphemina's Closet; they remind me of something you'd find in the 70s from Young Edwardian, a label which provided period-inspired clothing for the psychedelic generation...

Nana Kitade pulls off the GothLoli look quite well, yes?

Baby the stars shine bright (a very popular lolita brand) opened a store in san francisco not long ago. This style has evolved a lot since it first started, it's quite fun

I play on this 3D virtual world site/game thing called Second Life where you have an avitar and can change clotes etc. I met a woman in Japan that found me some Lolita "stores". I finally got me a Sweet Lolita outfit. It is baby pink and white. It is a baby pink dress with a white rounded collor and a bit above knee length, with a white ruffled skirt part and white opaque thigh high stockings with pink trim, a pink hait ribbon. I bought a long blonde piggy tail hair. One of my best friends never heard of Lolita, but the was rather overwhelmed at the adorableness of the outfit.

Oh and I have these ankle boots that lace up in baby pink... YAY!

I prefer the EGA more but this style is definitely pretty.

Reminds me of Victorian doll clothing.
