Hi guys, I'm actually pretty new here, however, I joined because I have a lot of questions regarding the Lolita fashion.
My friends and I are planning to attend an anime convention this upcoming March (momocon) and we have decided to try out the lolita style since it would be most appreciated there. We already know that there is a distinct diffrence in the Lolita fashion, and the much less appreciated Cosplay Lolita. We are all a bunch of diffrent shapes and sizes, some of us are skinny, and then there are those of us who are well rounded. Me myself, I'm one of the well rounded ones.
I know that Lolita is suppose to portray Innocence, so no cleavage or shoulders, and preferably knee length skirts and dresses, but...I have a lot of cleavage. I'm not really a BIG girl (probably by Japanese standards I would be...) but I do wear a size 10/12, and sometimes even a 14 (11/13 if the sizes of a line go by odd numbers) most of my other friends who are also a bit rounded are around the general area of 10-14.
So I was wondering, would it be okay for us to dress as Lolitas? I'm sure we could hide all the cleavage and stuff, but still...
If I were to buy a lolita dress, will it be hard to find my size?
More than likely we'll be making our dresses, but if we so happen to change our minds, I would love to know whether or not we could actually find our sizes
thanks for all help guys, and happy to be a part of Japan forum!
Oh! And also, these are American sizes. I apologize, I have no idea what my waist measures or anything...
