Does anyone else get really annoyed when people call Lolita modest? The definition of modest in regards to clothing is that it's not eye catching or extravagant. The reason skimpy clothing is considered immodest is because it is attention grabbing. Lolita is an extremely extravagant fashion and by definition, cannot be called modest. In fact, Lolita is actually less modest than short shorts and a cleavage exposing v-neck because it stands out much more and people are far more likely to notice it.

I just really wish people would understand that modest=/=not skimpy.
