/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I’m not into petticoats at all. If i’m just trying to be fancy goth j fash rather than gothic lolita, would dresses still look bad without petticoats? I think if i want to be fancy goth, i’ll have to turn to lolita brands, because there aren’t any brands that make stuff like this anymore. And i’m very new , so are there any brands i can look into? I grabbed this pic of my ideal dress. I dont like ruffles or fancy things. I want really understated stuff

dating in lolita? would any of you date someone who wears lolita, or alternatively how does your s/o feel about you wearing lolita?
