>The thing is, it's utterly unrealistic to tell people that they can be lolita if they can't afford it.

What about people who are good at sewing and make their own clothes who aren't terribad tier?

But pic related. She makes most of her coordinates and the most she buys is fabric, accessories, and maybe a wig. I would argue the biggest thing required to be a lolita is sensible taste and reason.
And as much as poorfags hate being shunted to Bodyline, Bodyline is still technically lolita and not crazy expensive either.

Anyway, I don't mean to come off as argumentative I just think there's exceptions. There's also a difference between being a "poorfag" in the sense of living paycheck to paycheck and being a "poorfag" in the sense of just not being able to afford new or scalped brand.
