Mom: where do you think your going young lady? Me: I'm going to hangout with my fancy friends.

People always target the pretty ones that stand out. Don't worry you guys, lolita is getting stronger all over the world.

Who just happens to have pickles in their car? The style is suppose to be nonsexual and cute. Compared to what I've seen in fashion, Lolita is very innocent.

This is one of my favorite lolita documentaries it just captures the antique feeling and hapiness lolitas feel when they wear the fashion.

people honestly cause problems for people who dress this way?.. I do not see anything wrong with it.. its kind of an old fashioned way of dressing.. cant be any worse than any other person who dresses in retro cloths.. so they like the dresses that is inspired by the classic Gothic era of fashion.. why is that a problem for some people?.. I live in the USA tho.. Here in Iowa there is a shop that will sometimes sell some authentic classic Gothic dresses that kind of remind me of what they wear here.. they can be super expensive tho as these are usually collectors items.. but sometimes people like to buy them to wear.. super cute.. I kinda wish I could wear something like that occasionally..

i dont know if anyone will see this but i still love this. i was 13 when i first saw it and 22 now it's still an amazing video and i come back every couple years and rewatch. thank you for uploading

I am a grandma steampunk, leaning heavily towards Lolita...and I have NEVER been harassed on the street. In fact people in Seattle have stopped to ask for my picture. I dress this way, in part, to make people smile.

I love that the young woman of today , are inventing their own beauty not defined by popular culture. While viewing the pretty lace colors and ribbon, I had a sense of that these young women do not want to dress like the typical Kardashian or Brittany Spears half naked same old same old way of dressing. These young women want to reach out to another way of dressing, living and sharing an elegant way of life. Kudos for their inventiveness, sense of art and fun. Love it ladies. More power to you.

It makes me laugh when everyone says that people should wear what they want without being hated for it, but then the moment one person decides to dress in a way that is seen as slightly different, everyone suddenly turns round and bites them on the arse for it. I would take a JSK, blouse and fuck tonne of petticoats over a crop top and short shorts any day.

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.

Teenagers wearing dresses how great, they look so like sugary princesses and so much better than what they'd usually wear,

I'm a 12 year old OTT sweet lolita, which is totally crazy and frilly and pink,and I live in Ohio, which is the most conservative state in America, and I never get teased. You just have to carry yourself with confidence, and give anyone who disses you or makes fun of you the cutest, most doll-like glare in the world and say "love you too!" Try getting on Livejournal or attending cons to meet other lolitas, and just have fun! I know how it feels to be a beginner lolita, but just have fun!

Such adorable dresses

Thank you KZfaq suggestions...that is a good video, even watching this in 2021 !

He threw a pickle at them like wtf XD

Just ordered my first lolita outfit! Been wanting to do this for a long time. I'm just worried about how my family's going to react. They're pretty close-minded. We went to the mall where a group of 10+ furries were hanging out, just having a good time, and my family was making fun of them in private and trying to get me to subtly take pictures of the feat. I was intrigued by the furries, I will admit, but I wouldn't want to make fun of them or invade their privacy. :c Now my lolita dress is in its way and I don't know how I'm going to "come out" to them. I tried to carefully introduce the concept of lolita to my grandma just now, but she says it's "weird, not normal, and a desperate plea for attention by vain people who aren't mentally stable". I swear, the public eye will probably be more accepting of my new style than my family at first. I won't let that stop me, because I'm tired of letting the opinions of others steer how I act and dress. I WANT TO BE A PRETTY PRINCESS, DAMN IT.

good for them doing what makes them happy despite what society thinks

Lolita has made me happy! I use to think flat faces where ugly!! 😄 people said I was ugly, but this fashion has opened my eyes! I look like a doll, (sort of) so I know I'm not ugly! I'm pretty! 😀 (yay) 😂 😅😅😥😓😩😋

Lolita just makes me happy! When i what it i feel much more confident! Anyone else?

They have nothing to worry about! I've been called slut, while wearing no make-up, baggy jeans, a normal tank top and sneakers.. People are just rude!

Lolita is literally the most un-provocative so I just don't understand why people think it is. Somehow society has shifted and to be almost completely covered (in cute lace and ruffles if I may add ;3 ) is considered skanky and yet girls in tube tops and booty shorts with high heals and globs of make up is "normal" and acceptable...So sad. I don't get it but I won't let that stop be from making my transition into Lolita this coming year. ^_^

I'Ve always wanted to have some sort of a Lolita blog. I'm not a Lolita myself but I'm just so fascinated with the culture and I find it absolutely elegant and beautiful. I have so much respect for Lolitas cause its like you guys are so passionate in what you guys do, and even if people give you shit about it, its like you guys don't care cause your doing something you love. ❤

omg this feels like such a different era

Why in the world would people call lollita 'slutty', I see it might be causing some problems with finding a job and stuff, but it's a just clothingsstyle(/maybe a lifestyle for some people) And I think it's just bullshit that people take it as an offensive. Society needs to take a chillpill, dang!

Lolitas are the cutest!

It really upsets me that these girls get so much shit for dressing the way that they do. I understand that for these ladies it's a lifestyle, but come on people it's "just" clothes! Why is that so offensive? If we just stop putting each other down the world will be a much happier place. You ladies are lovely!

Nearly 2 years later & this mini-movie still brings people together! Just happened upon this 3 months ago; it's insightful & well done. As a convention geek I sometimes have silly fanboy reactions in the presence of a really well dressed Lolita girl. There's just something magical about the look & something strong & confident about the girl who wears it. She appeals to the gentleman in me & puts a smile on my face! :)

I need to find some LOLITA friends in the UK Westmidlands I love the style but i feel alown

Hi my name is Harmony I am just starting Lolita. For a while now my parents were irritated that I would wear my cosplay in public and one of my friends Grace introduced me to Lolita fashion and basically explained to me it was a cute fashion that would get my parents off my back. So I bought a couple dresses from hot topic because at the time I didn't have very much money and my parents are more excepting of the fashion then my cosplay. Well at the beginning of my pregnancy I could still wear some cosplay until they eventually didn't fit and then my cosplay and anime stuff was either stolen or lost in the mail. It actually has been a few weeks since that happened and I am trying to keep strong and keep my self above water but I now won't be able to do what I want to do. I am having a little girl in May and what actually makes me sad is I won't be able to give her college unless I can get patterns and sewing stuff. Thank you for the inspiration and I hope your all doing well.

Thank you for this video. You all are so creative and warmhearted persons!

Ikr? I love lolita documentaries!

in vancouver, you do see it on occasion every so often. Maybe I'm just out too much. We have several stores you can buy lolita dresses at though. i went to a store and my friend forced me to try stuff on.

Wow..I must have seen this documentary about 20 times and watched showed it to like 5 other people. I have to say it always blows me away. So accurate and skilfully put together!

This was very well done! Lolita documentaries are hard to come by, and this one is very well made. Thank you for putting correct information out on youtube! Maybe people will become more educated that way.

i'm not a lolita , but i had cosplayed in some puffy dresses . i don't understand how people can be so angry at nothing , i mean puffy dresses are covering most of the body if not than there are also probably extras like a little coat and long socks , i just don't see how people would think it's some kind of perverted desire too , because who would be dressed like a little girl [

I'm glad that lolita fashion is gaining more recognition and support in the comment section, but I think some of the comments have missed an important point. I'm speaking of the comments that are implying that lolita fashion is comparatively acceptable to more mainstream fashion styles of women who wear more revealing clothing, such as "tube tops" and "booty shorts" and styles that are influenced by "Kardashian" or "Britney Spears". I feel ambivalent about this way of thinking. Some of these comments imply that it's acceptable to consider women who dress in a way that shows more skin "slutty" or "skanky", but that's reiterating the very same patriarchal, oppressive criticism that many lolitas encounter. There's no need to uplift one fashion style at the expense of another, even if that style is not to your taste. And there's no need to uplift one woman at the expense of another woman. Just because lolita fashion is often misconstrued and isn't mainstream in comparison to more revealing fashion styles, doesn't mean that women who wear less modest clothes are free from denigration by society. It seems that whether we wear modest or revealing clothing, people will always find fault in what we wear. People often mistakenly assume that women adorn clothes solely to attract the male gaze and don't consider that we are simply dressing for ourselves and like what we wear. So I implore you to do away with this kind of thinking, and instead of making value judgements based on personal taste, ask yourself if the clothes a person wears makes them happy and let them be happy.

Great video!! Love all the interviews and explanations. Awesome points to Brisbane!

omg this has to be the most inspirational video i've seen i'm recently getting into lolita and just seeing guys together so accepting of each other was really amazing :3 u go girls

I'd love to be able to wear lolita but I just can't afford it. :(

One of the best documentaries I've seen of the fashion! :D Great quality!

This was phenomenal, so nice to finally see it! Great job thanks to everyone involved.

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.

I cant remember how many times I have watched this video. I love this video it's so inspiring.

It doesn't have to be, but it makes it so much more fun. Excitement about new releases, wearing matching coordinates or planning coordinates for events, shopping vicariously through their purchases, getting cheap second hand stuff from local lolitas.. But even outside of that context, some lolitas I've met have a lot more in common with me (art, photography, taste in films, music, other fashion styles) which makes for a more substantial friendship.

I was looking at Lolita fashion in a magazine once and showing my mother, saying how nice I thought it was. She said that if I liked it so much I should wear stuff like that too. When I told her that it would be weird since no one here dresses like that, she said that I could start a trend. I think all parents should have that mindset. People should wear whatever makes them happy. I don't wear lolita because I haven't the money, but I cosplay. These girls are great! I think they're very brave.

I really liked this video, thank you for making this, hopefully I can share this with my family that just doesn't understand.

I loved this! I wish it was longer!

This is so amazing. I love this. Thank you so much for sharing.

Posted on my birthday

I'm in love with Victorian fashion. I'm so glad I found something modern and similar at the same time!

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!

Parasol fight *_*!! I'm a lolita but I live in a town where I can run around in it pretty freely ^^; I love this documentary!!

this is amazing, I would love a part 2

This makes me so happy

Woah, what a production!

This is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, I saw you girls in Brisbane the other day! They were absolutely stunning!

@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..!

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!

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!

Oh yes, I have seen some really lovely classic lolita dresses but never knew of any brands. So thank you very much for referring me to one ^_^ One day I may buy something from there. I'll still make my own as well, for it's very fun to design and sew ^_^ I love to add trims.

This is a great documentary, I adore the graphics and I love your accents! I tend to not really care what strangers say to me, I've found that yelled insults are easy to brush off as I don't know them (and they obviously don't have the 'nads to come up and say it to my face) but what my mother thought mattered more to me than I originally anticipated. She got a lot better about it after she found out there was a community surrounding Lolita fashion, and that I wasn't the only one "being weird".

Great video girls! This is by far the best lolita documentary i've seen yet. :) i didnt want it to end!!!!

That girls collection is adorable, I love this style!

This was an amazing documentary!

everyone looked amazing ^^

Woderfully done! I really love it!

Lolita fashion to me is cute! I actually want to try it myself! I say people who call it "revealing" or stuff like that are just making a fussy noise over nothing. They need to wise up, come back to reality and open their palettes more. To me, whenever I look in a magazine and see girls wearing it, they all remind me of alice in wonderland and some other fairy tale characters. So for people who show such distaste to Lolita Fashion, I'll say this: Grow up, go back and look up the fashion's meaning, tone down the overreacting and fussing, and rethink your tastes. I might say that to those guys because I think they have no taste in fashion like Lolita fashion girls do.

I really like this documentry,it was very inspiring! I wore lolita out for the first time last night :)

i just want to say that i think its a good thing to be who you are and do as you wish. and to all the people who call lolita slutty... most teens wear short pants and ripped shirts this girls wear cute dresses and high socks. i don't think thats slutty at all i think its cute. \(' . ')/

GREAT! :) And I love the graphics

wow, honestly i am very surpirsed this video hasn't gotten more views, this is very .. inspiring and wow

You girls are so brave and I know how you guys feel. I'm a Ball joint doll owner and I also have people stare at my friends and I when we are out in public with our dolls. Whether it be at a doll meet or just hanging out at the park.

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)

The main sub styles always have the same main elements, but there are different designs and colours for spring/summer, and fall/winter, just like regular fashion. Not that that stops people from wearing things in any weather/season, and you don't always have to buy new things but that's the fun part..

I have been waiting for this video to come out :)) It is amazing to see so many people dressing in Lolita ~ It makes me really happy, share the love I say ~ ~

Lolita is a very clever and insightful book that everyone should read.

i love how they used Ouran Host Club music when showing them...it made me smile so much :)

love it love it really love it!!!!!

i love this video it so lovely , lolita is such a beautiful fashion

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).

beautiful :3 thanks for uploading

I really like this video, thanks!

I loved this

The camerawork and graphics are lovely. I hope you will do more like this in the future! :0

i really like this!! :) thank you!

Awww. I wish Lolitas lived near me so we could meet-up and do Lolita things together. Anyways, what a nice documentary! I especially love the beginning!

Most designers outfits, depending on the style, accomodate up to 88, 94, 97, or 104cm bust, but there are places you can get custom sizing (the chinese shops that sell replicas or their own designs)

Great documantary! Congratuation to everybody who helped to make this video. :)

Omg this is so cool,you's are amazing! ^-^

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.

@JessieKateRose I love you for saying this. I agree so much.

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.

Wow this is a really good insight for us that doesn't know much about lolita!

who owns pickles?!XD

Yes, I must admit, my sweet tooth for life drew me to this short film. It should be noted that there are people who revel in seeing others live life outside "the box" by being real. I am a force for positive vibes & a dapper "Californio" drawn to bevys of Lolitas in waiting. LOL! Please...Keep Calm & Loli on, and I'll tip my hat to you & your shining magic!

awesome documentary girls!! !!

Lolita is a growing trend every where it warms my heart to know that fact

I wish people would just realize that everyone is different, unique, and special in their own way and learn to accept everyone for who they are.

Ahhhh!~
