2:10 yargh, but, Gothic & Lolita is not like thaaat! ;_;
there's not jesus crosses, and bats! There's a lot of things from the sweet lolita but darker. Don't mix Gothic and Gothic & Lolita please. :3 (I am a Gothic & Lolita~ *but who cares*)
I love lolita very much, Unfortunately I live in an area that is high in crime and such so my mom never lets me go out like that which I understand. It makes me sad that people cannot understand the beauty in lolita as well, The only time I can wear lolita out is if I go to an anime convention. This was a lovely documentary. :)
Why would people think Gothic & Lolita is slutty your all covered up and slutty is were you have everything showing!?!?!?!? I though maybe it's because my cloths 'look' like a costume but then people don't call goth, punk, emo or rocker slutty I DON'T UNDERSTAND! and why would you have to scram mean things? and who keeps a big pickle in there car WTF!? and i hate it when people say they know what this realy is and i don't and it's some sex thing and i shouldn't wear it.
I think it's horrible that people shout abuse like that. I live in Australia so I know how some people here react to things that are different. Lately I have been dressing visual kei with some lolita influences in the style because I find I don't get harassed so much that way, but it still does happen a lot. I've never seen how it can be considered slutty when a lot of the clothes are no were near as revealing as what some girls wear now days.
Well done. I'm 14 and I've loved this fashion since I was 10. I live in the San Francisco area and I've seen an increase in lolitas. I hope one day I can buy a dress from Baby or angelic pretty. >w<
I love this! But next time, as JessieKateRose said, you should probably mention handmade and offbrand, a little bit more on its origin, and some more positive thinks about lolita in Australia. Of course it won't work as in Japan because you are not japanese (me neither, I'm mexican), but I'm sure there are some great thinks about your culture that makes lolita so unique and different. Great job ;)
This is so well made!!^^ Luckily my mother and grandmother think the fashion is adorable but my grandmother asks why I don't show more cleavage...its hard to explain to her that that's not what loli fashion is about.
@ ITakeTime No I truely understand you.:) It's good to know there are others who have experienced the same. It's just heart breaking because at school O feel like I'm not being my whole self and when people see me in lolita they think it's weird and cant put any connection to my lolita selfg and what I wear at school. But I'm going to try again because I want it and it's my life and not theirs. And as far as friends go I'm sure in time they';ll understand that what your friends for right:P?
what was the name of the site the girl said you could get lolita clothes for cheap? i like the lolita look but not sure how to get started. i would really appreciate the help. thanks. :)
@mychems1fan Please check out a few places... You can google them. Livejournal - EGL (the main community), egl_comm_sales (Selling community). Hellolace. Lolibrary. Lolitafashion. Yahoo!Japan Auctions. MBOK auctions. Bodyline. Taobao.
My mother will never understand...she thinks that it's so called "slutty" to wear lolita clothing...I know the meaning of the word, but I keep telling her it's a FASHION. She refuses to listen, and so does my dad. I honestly will probably never get to wear lolita clothing, no matter how much I want to...Lolita, like you said, isn't slutty at all. It's really pretty, with floofy dresses and cutesy bows with long socks...I don't get whats so WRONG about it.
@TheBaileaf If you're still young of course your parents will try to shelter and control you. Depending on the mindset of your parents and how they see the world, things that are even in the slightest way strange or out of the ordinary will seem "wrong" to them. Lolita is often associated with Vladimir Nabokov's book of the same name, though it has less to do with ephebophelia than most people think.
@TheBaileaf Portraying yourself as doll-like/child-like can be seen as fetishist by outsiders, and your parents don't want people to get the wrong idea about you. But if you explain to them (in a calm and rational way with valid evidence) why you like it so much, and what styles you like (classic usually goes down the best as it's more mature) maybe they'll listen to you? Otherwise you can just wear it when you're not under their rules anymore ;P
Have you seen the less expensive places to purchase Lolita clothing from, such as Bodyline Yokoso? You also could try making your own clothing if you like, there really are a lot of less expensive ways than buying brand to be a Lolita. :) Trust me, I don't have much money at all but I'm making it work! Oh, and just so you know for future reference, the whole thing is actually just Lolita fashion, Gothic Lolita is just one part of it. ^_^

Thanks a lot for this video. I'm an aspiring (Young! Seems like there's a lot of my kin nowadays) Lolita, and I wanted to thank the maker of this video and the lovely ladies of Brisbane for contributing so much to give such a wonderful video.
This just brightened up my morning, this makes me understand the true meaning and not all the stereotypes of them, but some are a little true in a way but they aren't bad at all! I would love to be part of a group or community,and have a chance to be able to do what they can do. I'm in Australia as well and so many communities and groups like these are being taunted and harassed.Being a Lolita seems like such an amazing passion for live c: <3 Everything is just so happy,cute and creative!
Very cute! i love the video. I think the tea party is an excellent thing to show. It may be a stereotype...but it is true. Lolita is fashioned after Rococo times ,and guess what, thats is what women did. They did not go out and work...they did not really do much of anything if they were of higher class. They had parties, had tea and cake with their friends. You can't say you want to stay away from a stereotype what that is the basis of the culture the lolita fashion is derived from.
I love this! The only part of it I wasn't too fond of was the opening and ending scenes of everyone drinking tea and giggling, just because it's often a stereotype that all lolitas do is eat pastries and drink tea lol. Mind you, at meet ups it does happen a lot, I just cringe a little at the stereotype being proven. It's awesome to see such a tight-knit community though! I'll be honest, I'm a lolita who has had pretty bad experiences with other lolitas. This was a great watch, thanks for making!
@warmheartedkiller Thanks for watching :) Originally I had meant to kinda "break" the stereotype of lolita moreso as well as establish it; but some location agreements fell through (one of our group's favourite past times is drunken karaoke happy hour!) and I had to cut back due to time limits~ Interestingly, I did travel to another state and went to a bar with some lolis there that served cocktails in teapots.. very loli :P While we can be proper prim ladies we are also real people^^
I don't think many people actually do think we drink tea all the time, but it is true that a lot of Lolitas like things like that and some have even developed a lifestyle to go with Lolita, I don't think there's anything wrong with showing that. :)
@AmeliaJane74 There's nothing wrong with showing that! I think what I said is being taken the wrong way. I've just (personally) experienced a lot of negativity and bullying from many people who really do think all lolitas are prim and proper and drink tea and love pastries etc. etc. when lolitas are all kinds of people with different interests, even lifestylers. I love the documentary on the whole but that was my least favorite part, is all. : ) It still works well for the film!
It really is dumb that some people think all Lolitas are like that. Even the ones who do enjoy those things have more to their personalities than that! But I understand what you're saying. :)
@warmheartedkiller I am surprised to hear that you've experienced negative reactions from the ladylike expectations of Lolita. Is it from other lolitas or outsiders?
You know what after watching this i wanna turn lolita except they would make dresses in my size im like 13 years old XD but i still was really touched by this video
I simply adore this! It would be a wonderful way to explain lolita to a group of people or just to watch for fun. It's well made and really shows the feeling of the fashion well. I have been waiting for this since you posted the preview and was not disappointed!
I have to say though, about how the girl said that brand is so important in Lolita... You can sew excellent Lolita dresses and even put together a Lolita outfit from off-brand clothing. I've seen so many beautiful things that girls have made themselves. Brand is lovely and all, but not important.
@JessieKateRose She means that it's important to the culture of lolita. If there was no brand we'd have no real distinct style/image (that we try so hard to maintain), nothing new to talk about, no economy in trading/selling etc.
@thalionrin It didn't seem like that's what she meant to me at all, but you know her better and know what you were talking about before she said that, so I believe you.
@JessieKateRose Well Brand was the thing that created Lolita. I don't own any brand, and I don't think you have too, but it is rather important to Lolita.
@TheKunoichiNeko I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean; brands didn't "create" Lolita. Lolita was something that evolved from Otome Kei and back when it first started there weren't any Lolita brands, so how could they have created it?
@JessieKateRose Let me correct myself. Brand didn't create lolita, but made it into what is today. Before Angelic Pretty and BTSSB lolita look nothing like it does now. Yes, it started as a street fashion but when brands (mainly btssb) picked up on it, they slowly created what we think of lolita today. I have a book with a chapter about it, it's actually rather interesting.
@TheKunoichiNeko Okay, that makes a lot more sense, but don't you think that might be more due to the people than the designers? People put their own spin on their outfits even when they buy brand. After all, you don't see a bunch of rainbow deco jewelry in brand shops but a lot of Lolita wear it. Even AP's jewelry isn't quite as colorful as some of the stuff a lot of Lolita wear. And the models brands use don't often wear unnaturally colored wigs, but we do. Just something to think about.
@JessieKateRose I think that brand is important. Perhaps it isn't what makes or breaks the fashion, but saying it isn't might not be tactful. Brand is a huge part in the fashion, even though handmade and offbrand clothing is often gorgeous. If not actually wearing it, brand definitely is what sets the trends and "rules" and provides a sense of belonging to the community. Just ask lolitas in Japan if brand is important; I bet the majority of them will say yes.
I've been a fan of lolita since I was 10 years old. I'm just an admirer but I'd love to participate in the fashion. I'm 15 and a student and can't afford it yet. My Mom likes the fashion because she thinks it's cute and modest unlike a lot of clothes people my age wear. My Dad thinks it's just really pricy cosplaying I live near SF and I go to the shops and I hope one day I can buy one.
I know about Lolita since 2008 and I'm still just an admirer of this fashion. I really love it but I think there's so much that I must learn before I use it for the 1st time. In my country, there are few Lolitas. It's kind of difficult wear it here like in another places, due to prejudice and other things. Despite this, I try to take Lolita always with me in some way. I don't want to be exactly a Lolita, but I'd really love to be part of the wonderful, beautiful and magic world related to one. ♥
@gothjet Sometimes lolitas get offended when "outsiders" proclaim themselves to be lolita and have no knowledge, and don't even know the style that they are attempting to wear. I think it's because we work so hard to define ourselves and our fashion and when something threatens that we don't react well. But that doesn't excuse rude behaviour, and everybody has to start somewhere. Personally our own community is very welcoming and helpful to newbies!
@thalionrin thank you :) Though she was a newbie herself and claimed I "suddenly" became a lolita when I had been interested for 2 years but oh well. what can ya do...
oh my!! you almost made me cry, i was so touched by this video!! we go trough the same things, the diference is the place, i think you look so gourgeos and pretty, i'm so proud of the australian lolita comunity (sorry for my poor english)
This is absolutely lovely! ive been interested in lolita since high school, its just so expensive so i make due with what i have, one day something from innocent world shall be mine. And you are all beautiful!
I don't wear lolita (though I've always wanted to try), but I love lolita and I think all of you ladies look absolutely lovely! Great documentary about the daily lolita life :)
Great documentary, although I hate how that one girl says brand is so important... The look is the most important part. Where your got your pieces from is irrelevant.
@DaisyExodus She meant that brand is important to the culture of the fashion, not that you can only own brand. Without brand we wouldn't have any style guides or inspiration or economy etc etc
I love lolita since I ws a kid, but I'm too ugly to ever use one of those dresses. At last I can make the most beautiful designs for someone else to use them <3
Try kickstarterDOTcom for funding and advertise the campaign on EGL other communities and facebook pages ;) Just an idea! Check that website and you will find lots of people doing the same for their documentaries or crazy projects :3
"The video keeps stopping at a certain point and won't play. Blaah. But I love Lolita and I'm hopeing to get enough money from chrsitmas to get a few.
We're not lolitas, but I absolutely love the message of this video. (*ﾉωﾉ)♡ It's very uplifting and was really entertaining! I would love to see something a bit longer as well~ ヾ(*´▽｀*)ノ
You could try Bodyline Yokoso, they have beautiful things that aren't to expensive. Trust me, I don't make much money at ALL, but I'm still a Lolita. :)
Also, you could learn to make clothes and accessories, there's actually a lot of far less expensive ways to be a Lolita than buying from brand so if you really are interested in being a Lolita there definitely are ways to become one if you're on a limited budget like I am. There are also plenty of guides for Lolitas who don't have a ton of money online.
Being a Lolita in a small town full of close-mined people is hard. But people have come to accept me for who I am :D I have become more comfortable wearing Lolita as well.
I remember when I wore lolita for the first time. I felt really out of place but it wasn't new. Everyone focused on my shoes when giving compliments for the most part. My math teacher stopped class to discus my outfit and I explained it to everyone. They still thought I was weird but my teacher was interested. A girl in another class that I'd never talked to in my life ran up to me almost yelling "WHERE YOU GET DAT HARAJU-KU GURL!?" I tried so hard not to laugh as I told her.
My boyfriend absolutely LOVES lolita, by the way. He wants so badly to have something he can wear with me. Not a dress, mind you. He wants things like what the character Louis wears in the movie 'Interview with the Vampire".
@Kytachan That's wonderful that he wants to share your interests! My boyfriend is an aristo/dandy and we dress up together everyday. :) Look at all the men's styles, brands like Atelier Boz, Alice and the Pirates, Moi-meme-Moitie, Black Peace Now (for men). There are a lot of BPN on auctions if you look. The only trouble is that Japanese men's sizes aren't that big - my boyfriend is tall and skinny, and while he fits everything just fine, some of it is a bit short.
This is the sweetest thing I've seen in quite a while. I don't have a lolita community near me, and it's so inspiring to see all you girls standing by each other :D
I would love to see a full half an hour or hour long documentary on lolita similar to some of the ones that are done on History Channel or Travel Channel about other things. Really flush out the different genres and sub-genres and go into more detail about all the prejudice we deal with daily (for whatever bizarre reasons).
@GrimmDeathberry I'd love to! Especially actually going to japan as well as all the psychological viewpoints of us/the fashion. Welll if someone wants to give me fundingggggggg... :D ha.
You guys are so brave , and I have so much respect for you. I am going to be wearing Lolita for the first time in January hopefully ,and plan on going into the lifestyle. I have been since I was 13 i am now 21. I am a brolita and i plan to wear both boystyle and dresses. thankyou for this video.
and i'm actually happy to hear i'm not the only one who can't dress up that much without being harrassed -__- but i have to say, Lolita is quite new around here (Belgiul), so it will need some time i guess :D
Omg I loved this documentary so much. <3 And I had no idea that in Australia people harassed lolitas so much. o_o'' It's so scary and so sad at the same time... ._. I mean, here where I live, in Portugal, I also receive many stupid comments but nobody throws me stuff or anything like that. (And wth PICKLES?! Really?!)
But aside from that, I'm kinda jelly of that wardrobe in the beginning. ;w; *been a lolita for a year and a half* And everyone looks so beautiful omg! <3
@WhiteSakurazuka I would say australians on a whole can be pretty vocal and rude about anything, so it's not surprising about their reaction.. On the other hand, there are a lot of positive comments, so I don't mind. :)
it's really upsetting that these girls are getting abuse for something so beautiful just because they are not dressing in other people's ideal dress code. It's ridiculous.
@xlilxcreepyxgirlx Brand is a big part of the fashion, but many people make their own clothes and if you're good at it then it can be really impressive!
I used to feel the same,I'm stil selective about where I choose to wear it but remember that at the end of the day it's just clothing and anyone who harrases you or is abusive is in the wrong! xx
@HaileeHorrorPro I wear lolita every day, though mostly toned down classic/sweet stuff, and my boyfriend is aristo so we make a pretty strong impression together.. :P It can be daunting when you're by yourself and you're not used to it though, or if you're out late at night.. ^^ Make sure you feel comfortable and safe.
@thalionrin alright! ima slowly make my way to wearing full sweet lolita in public and what not I got some good confidence boosting comments x3 thanks =D
@NoxiousGum I'm glad you still wear it :) I shot it on a Panasonic P2 camera, can't remember the specific model. It's broadcast quality, however my dvd-rip wasn't great so it's not HD on here unfortunately..!
@NoxiousGum Omg, I went through the exact same thing! I wore lolita to school and people were laughing and screaming at me. Even my friend avoided me the best they could. I did stay in school the whole day but I havn't worn lolita to school again. This makes me feel really bad since I am a lolita at heart and I feel truly beautiful when wearing it.
I know you didn't ask anyone to throw their misery at you, but I just wanted to say it since I felt like you would understand...
@ITakeTime remember a few things, those sheep were trained to think they way to think. It's what you think, not what they think. If you feel beautiful, be proud!
hi im kim and i love lolita fashion im hopeing to get my first dress soon but i found that its hard to find things in my size. i wear a size 16 in US size and the lolita brand dress only go to a 12 or there like a size 2 -_- if any one can tell me of a good sdtore a site to buy lolita that would be great.
@kimthongdee1 Hi Kim, if you search on EGL livejournal you can find some helpful links for plus-size clothing. Mostly Taobao brands have larger, or can offer custom sizing, and they have some great original designs and replicas. Dear Celine, Dream of Lolita, etc (look up "list of taobao stores"). :)
Amazing! You guys are beautifull. I am so happy you uploaded this. I am sorry anyone has been made to feel not safe, this shouldn't happen anywhere. Thanks so much. The quality of this video is so good and you are all very lovely ladies!
oww such a great documentary <3 hope I have a big lolita community here too (so far I'm the only lolita and my friend love it but hasn't started yet, you can say it just two of us :D )
@YuiMewMew Can you get kicked out for inappropriate clothing? I've always worn a uniform, but we had free-dress days. Unfortunately in high school I was a complete ita, and I really regret wearing what I did... >_> But at university I wore lolita every day ;P
@thalionrin Well, I had to get out of the class and I had to put off my wig and stuff. We don't have uniforms, we're "ALLOWED TO WEAR WHAT WE WANT"... But yeah, I'm in high school and she thought it was a costume so I had to leave. lol.
I'm 15 and I'm a lolita in Brisbane, and I really love this video! :O I've been into lolita for 2 years (started young ==;) and I honestly don't have anyone to share it with. When ever I go out in lolita with my friends I can tell they're uncomfortable with it, my family calls it costumes too. I can take all the insults and stares from the public, (some are hilarious!) but I hate that no one's really comfortable to go out with me dressed like that. But it will never stop me!
@ToxicBlackMoral If you add me on FB I can add you to the brisloli fb group, otherwise there's oz_lolita on livejournal of course. All my friends are comfortable with the way I dress, but I normally wear classic with a sweet tone, not OTT sweet or anything these days (of course on events etc I will go all out though!) so it appeals to these indie-vintage-retro-hipster types.. :P Good on you though!
Great work! I really wish that this was a series, either on tv or YouTube!!

I'll be honest, I'm a lolita who has had pretty bad experiences with other lolitas. This was a great watch, thanks for making!

@warmheartedkiller Thanks for watching :) Originally I had meant to kinda "break" the stereotype of lolita moreso as well as establish it; but some location agreements fell through (one of our group's favourite past times is drunken karaoke happy hour!) and I had to cut back due to time limits~ Interestingly, I did travel to another state and went to a bar with some lolis there that served cocktails in teapots.. very loli :P While we can be proper prim ladies we are also real people^^

I don't think many people actually do think we drink tea all the time, but it is true that a lot of Lolitas like things like that and some have even developed a lifestyle to go with Lolita, I don't think there's anything wrong with showing that. :)
AmeliaJane74 1 month ago
@AmeliaJane74 There's nothing wrong with showing that! I think what I said is being taken the wrong way. I've just (personally) experienced a lot of negativity and bullying from many people who really do think all lolitas are prim and proper and drink tea and love pastries etc. etc. when lolitas are all kinds of people with different interests, even lifestylers. I love the documentary on the whole but that was my least favorite part, is all. : ) It still works well for the film!

It really is dumb that some people think all Lolitas are like that. Even the ones who do enjoy those things have more to their personalities than that! But I understand what you're saying. :)

This is really well done.
I have to say though, about how the girl said that brand is so important in Lolita... You can sew excellent Lolita dresses and even put together a Lolita outfit from off-brand clothing. I've seen so many beautiful things that girls have made themselves. Brand is lovely and all, but not important.
JessieKateRose 2 months ago 24
@JessieKateRose She means that it's important to the culture of lolita. If there was no brand we'd have no real distinct style/image (that we try so hard to maintain), nothing new to talk about, no economy in trading/selling etc.
thalionrin 1 month ago in playlist Uploaded videos
@thalionrin It didn't seem like that's what she meant to me at all, but you know her better and know what you were talking about before she said that, so I believe you.
JessieKateRose 1 month ago
@JessieKateRose Well Brand was the thing that created Lolita. I don't own any brand, and I don't think you have too, but it is rather important to Lolita.
TheKunoichiNeko 1 month ago
@TheKunoichiNeko I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean; brands didn't "create" Lolita. Lolita was something that evolved from Otome Kei and back when it first started there weren't any Lolita brands, so how could they have created it?
JessieKateRose 1 month ago
@JessieKateRose Let me correct myself. Brand didn't create lolita, but made it into what is today. Before Angelic Pretty and BTSSB lolita look nothing like it does now. Yes, it started as a street fashion but when brands (mainly btssb) picked up on it, they slowly created what we think of lolita today. I have a book with a chapter about it, it's actually rather interesting.
TheKunoichiNeko 1 month ago
@TheKunoichiNeko Okay, that makes a lot more sense, but don't you think that might be more due to the people than the designers? People put their own spin on their outfits even when they buy brand. After all, you don't see a bunch of rainbow deco jewelry in brand shops but a lot of Lolita wear it. Even AP's jewelry isn't quite as colorful as some of the stuff a lot of Lolita wear. And the models brands use don't often wear unnaturally colored wigs, but we do. Just something to think about.
JessieKateRose 1 month ago
@JessieKateRose I think that brand is important. Perhaps it isn't what makes or breaks the fashion, but saying it isn't might not be tactful. Brand is a huge part in the fashion, even though handmade and offbrand clothing is often gorgeous. If not actually wearing it, brand definitely is what sets the trends and "rules" and provides a sense of belonging to the community. Just ask lolitas in Japan if brand is important; I bet the majority of them will say yes.
sunnymacabre 1 month ago in playlist Uploaded videos
I've been a fan of lolita since I was 10 years old. I'm just an admirer but I'd love to participate in the fashion. I'm 15 and a student and can't afford it yet. My Mom likes the fashion because she thinks it's cute and modest unlike a lot of clothes people my age wear. My Dad thinks it's just really pricy cosplaying I live near SF and I go to the shops and I hope one day I can buy one.
hirokodinotaku 2 months ago
I know about Lolita since 2008 and I'm still just an admirer of this fashion. I really love it but I think there's so much that I must learn before I use it for the 1st time. In my country, there are few Lolitas. It's kind of difficult wear it here like in another places, due to prejudice and other things. Despite this, I try to take Lolita always with me in some way. I don't want to be exactly a Lolita, but I'd really love to be part of the wonderful, beautiful and magic world related to one. ♥

gothjet 2 months ago
@gothjet Sometimes lolitas get offended when "outsiders" proclaim themselves to be lolita and have no knowledge, and don't even know the style that they are attempting to wear. I think it's because we work so hard to define ourselves and our fashion and when something threatens that we don't react well. But that doesn't excuse rude behaviour, and everybody has to start somewhere. Personally our own community is very welcoming and helpful to newbies!

Also, you could learn to make clothes and accessories, there's actually a lot of far less expensive ways to be a Lolita than buying from brand so if you really are interested in being a Lolita there definitely are ways to become one if you're on a limited budget like I am. There are also plenty of guides for Lolitas who don't have a ton of money online.

I remember when I wore lolita for the first time. I felt really out of place but it wasn't new. Everyone focused on my shoes when giving compliments for the most part. My math teacher stopped class to discus my outfit and I explained it to everyone. They still thought I was weird but my teacher was interested. A girl in another class that I'd never talked to in my life ran up to me almost yelling "WHERE YOU GET DAT HARAJU-KU GURL!?" I tried so hard not to laugh as I told her.

There are a lot of BPN on auctions if you look. The only trouble is that Japanese men's sizes aren't that big - my boyfriend is tall and skinny, and while he fits everything just fine, some of it is a bit short.

I got weird looks and people thought I was strange.

I felt really uncomfortable the whole day.
I wanted to leave class and go home.

When ever I go out in lolita with my friends I can tell they're uncomfortable with it, my family calls it costumes too. I can take all the insults and stares from the public, (some are hilarious!) but I hate that no one's really comfortable to go out with me dressed like that. But it will never stop me!
