Decorating Your Own Sweet Lolita Dresses

If you are a fan of the Lolita clothing fashion and you will be interested in my tipic today. I will introduce some ways on how to decorate your own sweet Lolita dresses and you can have a reference if you are interested in this clothing style.


One of the best things about the Sweet Lolita look is that you can transform any regular garment whether it is a skirt, dress, or blouse, into this popular Japanese fashion. Unlike the Gothic Lolita look, the Sweet Lolita one uses white and pastel colors which can be combined together in one outfit. For example, a white Edwardian style blouse can be combined with a pale pink or blue skirt. This article will describe how a plain gathered skirt can be decorated using lace, welded pearl strands, or bridal lace.

If a plain gathered skirt is not already part of your wardrobe, scour the consignment and thrift stores for one. Make sure the skirt is in excellent condition without any tears, holes, stains, or missing buttons or broken zippers. If the skirt has its own fabric tie at the waist, that is a bonus. Many Victorian style dresses and skirts had ties that would form a large bow in the back.

The color of the lace does not have to match the color of the skirt. You can use white against a pink skirt, or lavender or pale green lace for a bright contrast. Measure the entire circumference of the skirt at the hem so you will know how much lace will cover that area. If desired, a second row of lace can be added midway between the waistline and the hem of the skirt. To do this, use a tape measure and place it between the hemline, and waistline.

Gothic lolita comes generally in two forms, first is an outfit that conforms to the general shape of lolita, a bell-shape skirt of knee length (or a bit shorter for this style) but without as many clean lines as the other styles. Accessories and fabric choice are very important to this style: deconstructed fabrics and fishnets are a good choice, as are chains and studs. Also layering is key to this style! A Gothic Lolita outfit is not simple; wearing a studded belt over your skirt doesn't make your outfit Gothic just as wearing a plaid fabric doesn't make your outfit Gothic.

The designers make Lolita fashion more unique by adding Gothic style and Lolita original elements, called 'Gothic Lolita fashion'. Gothic style is the combination of angle and evil and its main colors black and white present the feeling of mystery and curiousness. Of course, mustard, dark green and purple have the effect. Compared with other styles, Gothic has sort of refined personality of women and romance. Along with lace, ruffle and any girly things added into gothic style, these elements balance too serious black and white. It is the goal Gothic Lolita fashion wants to create.

In Lolita fashion family, there are mainly three types: sweet Lolita, Gothic Lolita and classic Lolita. Sweet Lolita is the most popular both in Japan and around the world, and is usually filled with pinks, blues and whites that can make girls look lovely and doll like. Elegant gothic Lolita fashion is usually the choice of girls who prefer to look mysterious and modest rather than too sweet and cute. Classic Lolita is a little similar to sweet Lolita in style but choosing more plain colors such as white and dark brown, emphasizing the feeling of elegance and classy.

On Four Styles of Lolita

Lolita dress is a Japanese street fashion inspired primarily by the clothing and general aesthetics of the Rococo and Victorian periods. It is used exclusively to describe a very specific (one could say narrow) look that is created by abiding by a number of strict guidelines and principles (see Anatomy of A Lolita Outfit). Basing on these rules, there have a variety of styles. In this press there will involve four styles: Sweet Lolita, Country Lolita, Casual Lolita, and Classic Lolita.

White/Navy Blue/Red Bow Printed Rococo Lolita Dress

Sweet Lolita is the most child-like style, using many bows, ruffles and light colors to make up an outfit. The most common colors used in a Sweet Lolita outfit are pink, white, and powder blue. Common motifs in Sweet Lolita are toys, strawberries, cherries, cakes and candies, hearts, polkea dots, and flowers. Light, natural make-up complements this style. Teased out pigtails and bouncy curls are commonly worn by Sweet Lolita.

Country Lolita is derived from the Sweet Lolita style, and is often hard to be distinguished due to the same sweet patterns and motifs. However the Country Lolita style can be recognized by straw baskets, hats, fruit, and gingham patterns. Country Lolita is associated with the out-door work, regardless of a blouse and follows the same modest guide-lines, as well as the full, bell-shaped skirt. The make-up of this style would be very basic, and natural. If you are going outside try some sun-screen, some light lip-stick, and some blush.


Casual Lolita is a more toned style, while still retaining the basic Lolita elements. It can best be described as what a Lolita would wear when not 'dressing up.' Still modest, and elegant but not as exaggerated

Pink and White Lace Sweet Lolita Dress

Classic Lolita is the tamest Lolita style. It could pass for a garden party, church or summer dress. Unlike Sweet Lolita that is about looking cute, Classic Lolita is about looking classy, and harks back to Lolita fashion's roots in Victorian fashion. Elegance is its brand and bold colors aren't normally found in Classic Lolita clothing. Many Classic Lolita dresses have an A-line shape instead of the normal bell shape. Light makeup is suggested but depending on outfit and darker makeup (that still creates a soft look) can be appropriate.


In general, Lolita Fashion is not about looking sexy and is instead about looking cute or elegant.

The child-like physical look of young Japanese women contributes to this alluring illusion.
