I don't think you shouldn't wear whatever style you want just because of your size or be put off from doing so, but there's ways of doing it that will work better if you're larger, and ways that will work better if you're a stick. It's the same with any fashion; sorry, skin-tight leggings will not suit you if you're over a certain size, it'll only highlight your weight and look highly unflattering. Knee socks are dodgy at the best of times as they cut your legs in half and make your calves look balloony. Layers of lace can look bulky and lumpy regardless who's wearing it if it's poorly constructed. The kind of dress that comes with a kimono type top? A floor length victoriana skirt? Totally looks better on larger girls. So do I think larger girls look worse in Lolita than skinny girls? Only if they're doing it wrong. Too many (round here anyway) seem to try and go for the twagic goffic consumptive look and it neither flatters nor can be taken seriously.

But then a lot of skinny girls look god-awful in Lolita too.
