Vintage or Lolita? -

  White Archaize Polka-dot Dress Discount Fashion Clothing, Trendy Women's Clothes, Cocktail Dresses Hey guys, so I have been buying supercute sailor style pin up and vintage dresses from Chic Star and I am now wondering if someof these other vintage style dresses can be used for the lolita style? For instance this dress pictured is super fun and girly with a big full skirt that can be worn with petticoats to poof it out even more! The belt sash is big and can be tied in a bow or any other configuration but the top of the cutout is not detachable. I actually love the top part but was thinking maybe if I cut it off at the bust seams to be be able to wear it separate it might be more lolita? Or would that just make it totally pin up? Either way I love this dress and thought I would share it with you! The site Chic Star has a bunch mroe sailor and pin up style dreses and clothes that are definitely more lolita if you want to check it out! It's really affordable and ships worldwide! Even if this dress is not necessarily lolita it is still supercute and they have a bunch more like it! Thanks for any advice you can give me!

Hmm...looks like you might be able to turn it in to a lil' summtin' summtin' Lolita! XD It'd require some skill and knowledge of Lolita fashion, though. I don't dress Lolita myself (I don't have the money T^T lol) but, I'm a long time viewer of such a style, and it does look like you can go somewhere with it! Good luck, hon'!!

It doesn't really say Loli to me, it's seems better suited to more of a Hime style. If it's not accessorized properly to push it towards lolita or hime it will read as 50's/pin-up.
I think an important thing to remember about Lolita and other specific street fashions is that the brand/label of clothing is a part of the look. That's what makes it more an an inclusionary/exclusionary subculture. I'm not judging that one way or the other but the idea of brand is very important to the group identity.

I am a fan in lolita dress, especially the sweet lolita dress. But I haven't bought one since I don't understand why some people say a lolita dress is so cheap and don't have the money to buy them. But I find some online stores to sell their lolita dress at cheap price. Is the quality is bad?

Well to me, it looks a little bit more Vintage then Lolita. But that doesn't mean it couldn't be!! In my opinion it all depends on your skill as a seamstress. You could add a petticoat to it, move the bow in the front to the back, and add a little lace here and there. You could even buy some accesories that would look cute, like a polka-dot alice bow or a black bolero and some knee-highs with lace. So it really is all up to you and your abilities. ^^
