lolita dress




This is Rozen Maiden Reiner Rubin lolita dress, is from the pretty popular concepts : Lolita.

Not to be confused with Vladimir Nabokov's sexy protagonist, Lolita is a fashion culture that aims to be more "cute" or "pretty" as compared to "sexy". The fashion itself does not have any clear origins but is speculated to have started in the 1970's when popular Japanese brands like Pink House, Milk, and Angelic Pretty started coming out with clothes that are very much Lolita-like.
When bands that don Lolita clothing's started coming out, the Lolita fashion started gaining more popularity in the 1990's. Just like these famed brands , Eva Mao, Lolita Lempicka, and KENZO, all of them add the Lolita style into their dress design and belief.

Though most people show up on cosplays wearing Lolita, fans of the Lolita culture don't like the idea of it being called a "costume". While Lolita cosplay features sweet ,sexy and noble ,and it is different from the gothic cosplay coming with death, mystery and terror.

Since the fashion pieces, though, require very sophisticated materials and would often come in more than a one-piece ensemble, Lolita costumes are very expensive. This is why most Lolita cosplayers opt to create their own dresses.

While if some Lolita cosplay want to get a cheap Lolita costume, then order online is ideal for money saved. China has lots of dresses store stock huge number of Lolita cosplay costumes knockoffs and can be sold at low price.

Lolita fans contest that there is a huge difference between someone who dresses Lolita on almost a regular basis as compared to someone who does it for cosplay. Since the Lolita culture is usually associated with the Victorian and Rococo eras, Lolita fans argue that Lolita clothing should be made of the same materials of elegance and beauty.


Lolita cosplayers, however, put up Lolita costumes that are - arguably - cruder. Lolita cosplay is associated with clothes that are haphazardly put together and is characterized by many scratchy laces and satin. Lolita cosplayers also prefer their costumes to be a bit too short, with more than necessary skin showing. They have a great resemblance towards anime nurses or maids. This is, as most Lolita advocates will point out, very opposite to the concept of Lolita which mostly aims for cuteness and not sexiness.
