lolita fashion misconceptions 😣
it always breaks my heart to hear people say, "I want to wear lolita, but I can't because...." and their excuse is usually something that has a solution! i wanted to talk about some of the biggest misconceptions today:
♧ it is too expensive
Everyone's idea of "expensive" is different. especially these days, where inflation is taking a toll on everyone. but not every lolita dress is $300+ like a beginner may think looking at new brand prices. you are able to find dresses less than $100 on second-hand marketplaces and through community swap meets. When I first started wearing lolita, I even had a few friends give me dresses for free to get started!
♤ it is only for petite girls
This concept comes from the idea that because lolita is from Japan, it is only made for "small Japanese girls." Many dresses have full shirring for a reason, to be size inclusive! there are multiple brands that carry plus-size options, such as metamorphose and atelier peirrot. Glittertale is another great option for custom sizing. Innocent World's size L is equivalent to a European size L, for the midsized girls.
Altering a dress is also always an option. Some people do not like this idea, because they think it is important to preserve lolita history. If you do alter a dress, I advise it is done by a trusted professional. But either way, you bought it with your own money, so it doesn't matter what you do with it.
There used to be an idea that you couldn't show your knees while wearing lolita. This developed after a mistranslation and was never an official rule. Many people are afraid of their dresses being "too short" for lolita though. I am 5'10, definitely a "tallita" and most dresses come up a few inches above my knees. There is no official skirt length for lolita. A Motie skirt can hit your fingertips, or a Victorian Maiden gown can be dragging on the floor!
♡ the community is toxic and catty
lolitas are not a hive mind. I believe this culture has died down from when it was at its peak. there's a lot to question on this stereotype of the "mean lolita." Maybe they are trying to feel superior because they were once bullied themselves. Sometimes, it's easier to just be a "hater" and find community that way. The easy answer to this is no. There are lots of people in communities that can be great friends who want to share this interest with you! Remember to uphold your boundaries and never let people disrespect you. You will always find your place.
◇ people will think it is weird
Actually, many people will think it is cute, fun, and interesting! Sure, people will always have their misconceptions. I've gotten all the usual ones. "Are you in a play? Going to a wedding? Little Bow Peep? Anime cosplay?" But I have yet to experience anything rude or mean. Some people get worried about the name of lolita, but it is easy to avoid using it in conversation. Here are my favorites:
"I just like to dress cute sometimes."
"Life is more fun wearing bows!"
"It's kinda like vintage and gothic?"
"I bought this dress from Japan."
"Nope, these are just my everyday clothes!"
Always remember, everyone else is too worried about themselves to care about you!
What's a misconception you wish you could stop hearing? Have you even been proved wrong by a misconception? Let me know in the replies or reblogs!

Do you have any recommendations for where to pickup lolita clothing and accessories?
So to be honest despite my love for the fashion I don't have as much experience buying (it is a very expensive fashion after all). But if you are just starting out it's best to keep any eye out on Lace Market where you can find some reasonably priced second hand gems.
I also suggest if you have the money to buy new items to do so from smaller companies as I find independent lolita brands to more size inclusive.
If you like sweet or bittersweet lolita, I adore Glittertale (they do custom size work ) this in gray is a dream dress of mine.
Also always get jewelry from small artists; you can support people so much better for so much cheaper than getting a $40 ring from Angelic Pretty (if that stuff is your jam please enjoy but this is simply my take on the matter)
Edit: Your experience with Glittertale may vary (my apologies)

Feeling cute! It’s very fall-y but I didn’t get to wear this coord last month. Dress is Patissier in the Forest from Metamorphose, the socks are from enchanted dreamwear, the hat and orange bow are from glittertale, the bag is from btssb, and the sweater is borrowed from my sis-in-law (don’t y’all see the mushrooms????).

I am in love with the coords we got from Glittertale
Constructive criticism is appreciated and welcome. We are still working on getting accessories for these outfits and I would love to hear other people’s suggestions.
