Lolita fashion is about modesty.  We cover our shoulders and knees and are not revealing at all.

I won't go too into depth so you can go to LovelyLor on Tumblr's FAQ if you want to learn more.  PLEASE don't make any more lolita skins with the hang-strap shoulders!  It's so inaccurate and disrespectful in that it is NOT our fashion, create more misconceptions about us lolitas and shows you didn't actually look up what lolita REALLY is and consists of!!

Please portray this fashion correctly when making skins.  Preferably reference real lolita models (look up Angelic Pretty magazine and there should be some!).  Take the time at least to get the basic idea of lolita down.

What don't you see?
  • Black dresses with white lace
  • SHOULDERS.  Never shoulders!! >.<
  • Knees that aren't covered by tights or the dress

This is an expensive, complex fashion that is precious to us lolitas.  People already think bad things about our fashion thanks to it sharing the title of Nabokov's book "Lolita" (oh jeez look it up... or not... ._.;; I really don't wanna explain it, it's really... sad and... um... different).

Thank you for your time :)

Ah someone else understands! But the black dress with white lace can relate to gothic lolita fashion. o: And I think you can at least show a littttle bit of knee, not so much though because yes modesty. :3

Yeah you can show some of your knee, I think it's acceptable if you just cover it with tights even if they're a little translucent!  I think there's some brands that do make good black dresses with white lace, but I've seen many lolitas say that kind of dress is cheesy/ita-ish and to wear black dresses with black lacefor gothic?  Idk lolita communities can be picky sometimes about dress design :')

Same, I'll probably be living off of instant noodles when I'm older cause I wanna buy everything :'0 When you do get enough, buy from Lace Market!  They're secondhand but like 90% the dresses are in top shape.  People sell all brands and a lot of dresses that aren't in stock.  But the main benefit is you don't have to pay so much for shipping and customs from Japan!!
