/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

to me, lolita like this is more how it's worn, the styling. i always remember pic related, a hime gyaru wearing whip magic. looking at the JSK and even the crown are lolita, but it just isn't lolita. it has a lot of things that would work in a lolita coord, but it's not lolita. many dresses posted here are the same way, you can wear many of them like lolita. things like >>10625347 and >>10625596 are just costumes because they're being worn like costumes. they look like historical larp. but that doesn't mean you can't style them as lolita (hell you can even style them as hime gyaru if you try hard enough) but i think that's what makes it harder.
