So you’ve just discovered Japanese Lolita Fashion, and now you totes want to start wearing it, but you might be a bit confused about how exactly to go about that. Most Lolitas agree that everyone who’s first starting out should research the fashion a lot before getting into it. If you’ve gotten this far, you probably already know the basic components of a Lolita outfit, where it originated, the fact that it’s not a fetish, etc., but I’ve put together a list of links to further your knowledge beyond the basics.

This site is pretty old and a bit outdated, but it gives very detailed explanations of all the basics of Lolita Fashion.
Hello Lace is designed especially for beginners and is very easy to navigate, but the extent of the information on this site is a bit limited.
This is also kind of an outdated site and isn’t used very much anymore, but the guides and explanations on it are useful for beginners.
What is Lolita? by F Yeah Lolita
F Yeah Lolita is pretty much the most popular Lolita blog ever, and the author very sweetly compiled a list of links to her posts that she thinks would be most useful to beginners.
The girl who runs this Tumblr blog answers every single one of her questions (if they’re not in the FAQ) so if you ever have a question concerning Lolita you can go to her for it! The “Useful Links” and “Guides for Beginners” sections are really good for beginners to do some poking around in. It can also be fun to read through answers to other people’s questions.
This website is super rad because it has nearly every piece that a Lolita brand has ever released so you can look for a specific piece for details on it or just browse through for inspiration.
Lolita Tutorials by F Yeah Lolita
Here’s another list of links by the same blog that consists various sewing/crafting tutorials for Lolita from around the internet. If you like this kind of thing then you could use this to possibly make your own unique Lolita wardrobe!
This is a ginormous English-speaking livejournal community for everyone interested in Elegant Gothic and Lolita Fashion. You can scroll through here to read posts from more experienced Lolitas or you could even ask your own question on it!
Lor is the sweetest Lolita youtuber ever with a wonderful wardrobe and she’s super nice to everyone who asks her questions and sends her mail. She also has really useful instructional videos as well as comedy, PSAs, and vlogs. Basically the whole package.
Parfait Doll is another popular Lolita blog, but while the author of F Yeah Lolita is mainly a gothic Lolita, the author of Parfait Doll is a sweet Lolita. Along with posts about Lolita fashion, she also posts a lot on the Lolita lifestyle.
Let me know if any links stop working!
