I actually wore lolita in public yesterday by accident. I had dressed in lolita in my house just to lift my spirits. My boyfriend came to pick me up.

[@psychotophatcat]

Just wanted to add that it's important that people recognize that it's okay to take up space and to just be yourself regardless what clothing you wear! Maybe that's part of what gives people confidence when they accept that they enjoy wearing lolita? Just the fact that you're more "present" in everyday life?

[@rynthorn1551]

Hey, a seamstress here! You're pretty spot on explaining shirring. It's basically just a series of straight lines sewn into a piece of fabric with elastic bobbin thread. And it is majestic and wonderful. It should be in way more pieces, lolita and otherwise.

[@HaldjasHelina]

I think Lor was really nice about Safiya's video, so I'm surprised to hear she got scary comments. Great video. I love this series and hey - it got monetized! I was actually happy about getting an ad for once.

[@chelsiemalfoy]

Her video was release at the exact same time as Saf's, in the exact same store, and they also both "borrowed" dresses and accessories, so I'm pretty sure Aelier Pierrot reached out to a handful of youtubers to get more publicity.

[@starryluna5688]

If I'm not mistaken, I recall Safiya mentioning that she actually purchased the items for her outfit as well as paid for a pro hairstylist and makeup artist? I could be wrong though. I know that Saf actually does buy a lot of the clothes she uses for her fashion videos though.

[@chelsiemalfoy]

@@starryluna5688, You're half right, I looked at the video again; in the description box: "This video is NOT sponsored! We paid for all clothing items ourselves, but Chantegram did provide their styling service for free." I think maybe they opening the store for the youtubers early is want they offered & like Aki borrow because she didn't want to buy.

[@Duhbella]

The point of Lolita and every type of fashion is to express and celebrate who you are. Being a tomboy lolita or a plus sized lolita doesn't make you any less. You can play up or subdue whatever aspects of who you are or who you want to be at any point. You can wear coveralls and country wear one day and super frilly cords the next if thats what makes you happy. Fashion is there to elevate your experiences in life, not to deteact from them. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[@LilyLewis771]

thank you for the zipper rant!!! I hate invisible zippers so much, they're just impossible to get over a waistband because the thickness of fabric does not play nice with invisible zippers at all. but hey they're less obvious so I think that's why brands use them all the time :/ And yeah the second dress has... maid-chan vibes. (rant incoming) Idk, personally I don't feel like Atelier Pierrot is a great 'I wore lolita for a day' brand since they're much more aristo than the typical lolita you see. The standard lolita silhouette is knee length, super poofy skirt, with a bow/bonnet/maxi pad headdress on top. Ate Pie tends to have longer, much less voluminous silhouettes, and the mask headdress is very unconventional (it's very beautiful, just rather uncommon) for lolita. I get that they're very kind to work with her and let her wear a dress for free for a day, but I feel like it's not a great starter set. If cost is an issue, closet child and Bodyline would have very inexpensive things for her to try on and buy in person (like with the shoes) and you can find cheap lolita on Taobao and lace market as well, or she could partner up with a lolita in Japan and borrow from her wardrobe. I think Safiya did a lot better in this regard because while her end result wasn't the most typical lolita she did go to a few different shops and tried on the much more typical lolita silhouette that AP has, and she featured rinrindoll along with various street snaps and instagrams of other lolitas. Atelier Pierrot is beautiful and super elegant but when you're only wearing it for a day to showcase the fashion I feel like a more standard silhouette makes more sense, even if it's not the most 'original' or whatever.

The cheap zipper thing is so true! I sew as a hobby and I’ve always looked at the zippers on my Lolita dresses and wondered why they [brands] used them. Recently, a zipper on one of my Angelic Pretty dresses broke and I was so excited to buy a better zipper and replace it! The bodice actually feels more sturdy when I wear that dress now.

[@10puppyluv]

Okay so since after a quick glance i didnt see anyone explaining shirring(?) So its basically just fabric sewn to elastic so when the elastic fully stretched out the fabric would lay flat but has the ruffle look when the fabric isnt pulled completely taut. The nice part of shirring in lolita dresses is theres different layers (top to bottom of the back of the dress's blouse section) so it adheres more nicely to the wearer's frame and doesnt squish boobs that arent AA cup

[@leighl8032]

I don't think any of my brand dresses have elastic sewn to the fabric. A couple of my taobao dresses do, but everything else uses channels sewn into the bodice to encase the elastic instead of sewing through it

I disagree with your opinion on little hats. They aren’t meant for animals and animals really shouldn’t wear clothes in general.

[@mollyshadows9726]

Hey! Costume designer and lolita here. Shirring is when you take elastic and stretch it along the back of a garment sewing it down. You then do mutable rows of elastic down the back of the garment or around the midsection. This allows the dress to fit many different body types and they are easier to get into on your own. That’s how shirring works! 😁

That part about being afraid to take up space, and how you are allowed to is SUCH A MOOD. This is a topic that has come up a lot in some private feminist groups I've been part of, I do believe this is also something that comes with how women and girls are raised to believe that we need to shrink ourselves for the benefit of others, and how we are made to feel rude or impolite if we don't give up space to make others comfortable, as opposed to how there are many men do not feel this way, and are in fact happy/proud to take up space, or simply don't mind when they do.

It was really interesting and helpful to hear you talk about the thing with shirring, because I'm a more plus-sized person and often times I can't find a lot of jfashion, lolita or other styles that would fit me, but looking for pieces with full shirring could help !!

Don't talk to me or my tiny hat collection ever again! 😜

[@kitkatmelon]

That video was what introduced me to Lolita fashion 😊

[@amarantheinwhite]

Little hats are adorable and I love them 😛 wearing them anyway 😂

[@WitchKat]

Yeahhh but this falls in like with her other videos. Aki Dearest likes trying things and hobbies, especially weeb/weeb adjacent things, and the videos are usually 'there's this thing, it sounds neat, I'm gonna try it, here's what I'm expecting, oh look we're doing it, this is fun, here's where you can go to do it yourself, that was fun here's some pictures bye!'

when "Kinda plain" was said, it somehow reminded me of "HIM" from the powerpuff girls xD.

I have a beautiful blue gingham dress I bought from my friend Jillian (aka Pixielocks 🥰)and it has the same zipper getting stuck at the waist band problem, even though it’s not lolita (aka with a big skirt) so it’s probably the amount of fabric/ tension in that area

[@PerfectPride]

The. Zippers. AHHG. The zipper for one of my fave dresses busted the day I was gonna wear it to my office party. I was so mad. But luckily some lolita friends gave recommendations on where to go to get it repaired. But please. No more crappy zippers that always get caught where the bodice meets the skirt. PLEASE.

Hi Lor! There are several methods of shirring one way is to sew with elastic thread in the bobbin (the bottom thread on a sewing machine) another way is to create channels and thread elastic through. And a third is to sew an elastic on one size of the material and you pull the elastic tight as you sew and keep the material flat (this way seems to be how a lot of bodyline dresses are shirred

[@LittleSparklingStars]

Lolita is alot of work and Aki is the type of girl that just wants to wear jeans and a hoodie and leave the house. So people that say they "can't" do lolita are usually people that just don't want to dedicate their time to it. I would love to wear lolita but it's already difficult for me to match me jeans and hoodie when I get up in the morning.

15:14 Blasphemy! I like little hats. **Challenge accepted!**

The petticoat swaying is... the Ruffle Shuffle and shall always be the "Ruffle Shuffle."

[@irlANG3L]

If I didn't wear glasses with Lolita then I'd be walking around blind 😂

[@atthedial3718]

I didn’t know I needed to hear a rant against little hats until you did it. Thank you

[@LovelyLor]

It was time I admitted it hahaha

[@user-rs1wc9qs3n]

So happy to see you reviewing Aki's video. You two are two of my favorite KZbinrs so it's really interesting to see this kind of crossover. I was surprised at the end too and expected more commentary. Also idk if filming was limited but it would've been nice to get slower pans of the clothing and the cafe.

While I’m not a Lolita lady, I do wear vintage style dresses (rockabilly mostly) and I’m plus sized so I’ll feel great until I’m sitting somewhere and I feel like my skirt is too floofy and spreads too far out as my hips are already bigger. I’ve learned that the space I “take up” isn’t anything to be afraid of and as long as I’m not being an ass about sitting somewhere life is chill

[@jeremy-un6er]

aki: * wondering if she can still say dope as a lolita * me: of course homie
