You sweetheart :3

But we have some wish-list comparing too. I'm interested to see what the other girls are into. April has cute boots!

However, sadly, most of the pictures are from me... April has cute panties.

Yeah, I said 'most', but you can always change that Urca X3

It is up to April whether or she wants her photos highlighted or shared out, and Crypt is protective of her x

Highlights... lolness.

Glad you like the pink corset. I love tiers of things, be it lace or ruffle. I think it looks orderly and I like the overall effect of building up layers of simpler fabrics and colors.

The origins of Lolita fashion :3 (artists are the amazing Francois Boucher and Thomas Gainsborough btw)

excuse me if I am wrong, but I was of the impression lolita came from victorian era?
however the most paintings you posted are from the 18th century, im leaning towards rococo, though the detail in the dresses themselves tends toward the disegno, so maybe its late late late baroque.

Indeed, the first pictures are rococo period. Lolita is a mixture of Victorian and Rococo. Sweet lolita is very often more heavily rococo-inspired though, because of it's whimsical aestheticism. It's more ridiculous poof and grandeur, just like their architecture and furniture. Bows accenting ruching, layered lace sleeves as shown above are definitely Rococo.

Gothic Lolita, aristocrat/dandy and sailor lolita is usually more Victorian influenced.

Most lolita is a pretty mixed and includes completely modern elements, but retains that 'feel'. The feel I love when I visit the museum to stare at pretty poofy dresses. The feel of elegance, femininity and grandeur. FUCK YES RUFFLES AND LACE AND POOFINESS!

I'm in love with the aesthetic movement :3

Rococo is notoriously OTT- some of it makes me feel wonderful inside and some of it even I think is overkill. I never liked the gold and/or scalloping everything much... unless the scalloping is on a dress!

Too much gold, too much
