I'm just curious heart
I like lolita because it makes me different than those around me.
It also allows me to be more than just a regular teen who worried about the latest trend.
With lolita I can use black AND still look cute!
In a way I am rebelling against whats "in" and "out" but I use beautiful clothing instead.
Also I never really got to be a "little girl" and it fun to dress up!
That's why I do Lolita

i love lolita for so many reasons. It was never to stand out or be different. It was simply because i love it. I actually hate standing out, id like it if the whole world was lolita so i wouldnt be the odd one out.
I love the way it looks, feels, everything. Im just a natural born lolita. When i dress lolita i feel beautiful and more like myself. When i wear casual or "normal" clothes i feel like im hiding in them. When i wear lolita i feel like this is me.
So to put it simlpy i wear lolita because it makes me feel like myself.

Hmm, there's a few reasons.
As a craftsperson, I love Lolita because it's an art in itself. Just like dollmaking, only you are the doll. I take great pride in making my dresses, even though I could save up for my own.
And simply because it is a welcome change from all the miniskirts and tanktops which I am just not comfortable in. I prefer to look cute and classic, not sexy.

I like the way it looks, and I enjoy the prints. I love sewing Lolita clothing, and making the related crafts. Plus browsing egl and egl_comm_sales is addictive.
Also, I enjoy the company that wearing Lolita has introduced me to. I've made some good friends because of the fashion and meetups.
ps. Lolita is not a verb, you need to specify... dress, love, wear, etc.

I love lolita because I feel like it takes us back to a time where girls were still quite feminine and dressed conservatively. They weren't wearing the tightest shirts and the shortest skirts, trying to show off all the goods. I guess in a sense I like to rebel against the current p***y-cat-doll-inspired, everything is made of some sort of crappy knit fabric fashion scene going on because I think it's terrible. Plus, it's an adorable, innocent fashion (and being part of a Japanese sub-culture doesn't hurt).

Why do I dress lolita? Or I should say, when I choose? I could on and on about how I got into this style and all that fluff, but it really comes down to how it combines cute, goth (or what have you), and different (not to forget I feel like a princess in it~ ; ) ). As sewing is a hobby of mine, lolita clothes are a challenge and satisfying in many ways to construct. I have yet to experience a meet up, but I'm certain that would add a separate dimension to my love of this style. Any way you cut it, it's a fashion like any other fashion is; a style of clothing. Maybe your asking this question presuming that our clothes are a significant focus in our lives? Catharsis ps. Lolita is not a verb, you need to specify... dress, love, wear, etc.

My biggest reason for being involved in the lolita communities is because of the people I meet.
I love the clothes and the aesthetics behind their designs, I find the literature and history of the periods which inspired the fashion fascinating, and I simply adore playing dress-up, even if I am an adult; however, it's the people that make it all worth it.
If I didn't like the friends I have made through lolita, I probably would have given it up ages ago and become simply an admirer of the fashion rather than someone who actually collects the pieces and wears them. A lot of the fun for me in dressing up is going out to see my friends and hang out with them. My classes at university when I first got into lolita, and the job that I hold now, have neither really been conducive to wearing the style. Weekends are open, but usually spent at home cleaning or lounging on the couch with my boyfriend like a lazy lump.
If I didn't have meet-ups to attend, I probably wouldn't get to wear it often at all.
The first lolitas I met were infinitely inspiring, and the girls I've continued to meet since then are all amazing people as well. There've been a few that were less pleasant, or with whom I did not click, but that happens everywhere and isn't a lolita-related phenomenon in the least.

Definitely seconding this one. Not too long ago I was filtering my friends list to those who I know I see often or who comes back everyone once in a while to hang, and I saw that I've met at least 86 people alone, and that's only on my friendslist, and I know I had to have met at least 10-20 more people. Which is pretty ******** amazing, especially since a handful of those people came to visit from foreign countries (and some of them even came back to hang out again!), which I think is something that doesn't always happen to everybody. Sure, I have my advantages because I'm in NYC but without having a common love for the fashion I wouldn't have met and got to know so many people.

I dress in lolita because it's pretty.
I like looking in the mirror and seeing a princess stare back at me.

I admire the style~
It's elegant and artistic as well as being cute. I've always loved the victorian style, so lolita clicked with me right away.
Though I haven't dressed up in Lolita yet, it seems wonderful to look like a princess of some sort instead of wearing today's "fashions".
