Things You'll Need:
- Makeup
- Clothes
-
Step 1
Find out more about Gothic Lolitas before you pass judgment. When people think of Goth clothing they think of dark and evil-looking clothing. Gothic Lolitas are not like that, and are in fact a Victorian girl look. It's not related to the traditional Goth wardrobe.
-
Step 2
Buy the basic clothes you'll need to dress like a Gothic Lolita. You'll need a black or white blouse, a full skirt, a petticoat, bloomers and socks. It's important to pick colors that match and don’t clash when buying the basics.
-
Step 3
Consider getting your nails and hair done to fit the Gothic Lolita fashion. You'll want a glamorous looking hair cut and nails that match the outfit. Consider getting a bonnet or hair ribbon to match the outfit.
-
Step 4
Act as a Gothic Lolita would act. Gothic Lolita’s are shy and demure, so it's important that you play that role. Mind your manors and act sophisticated--not snobbish. A Gothic Lolita has the tendency to stare at her feet and stand pigeon-toed.

on 8/25/2009 This article was made by someone who does not have a very good idea of what exactly the fashion is. They have some idea of what it is, but if they had done much research they would know that most lolita make fun of the "lifestyle lolita." We don't necessarily "act lolita," and standing really pidgeon toed and staring at your feet is going to make other lolita think you look silly.

on 8/8/2009 You should be more specific in what you mean by blouses or full skirts. Typically, a lolita blouse will have a rounded collor and probably a lace or ruffle décor. Skirts should be full enough to accomodate a petticoat and usually around knee-length or just a bit shorter.
Gothic Lolita typically features a color scheme of black and white, but either all black or all white can sometimes work.
For hair, bangs and pigtails are popular, as are porcelain doll-esque ringlets. Hair accessories include headdresses, ribbons, bow headbands, and sometimes bonnets.

on 9/4/2008 This is not THE worst rendition of Lolita fashion I've ever heard in my life, but it's in the top few. #1 is half true, #2 is good advice, #3 is okay too, but #4 is COMPLETELY wrong. Even people who follow a "Lolita lifestyle" don't act like that.
