Lolita Dresses

A La Mode Dress

 Lolita dresses are popular in Japanese street fashion. They are generally frilly, short, and worn with bonnets or over-sized  hair bows. Lolita dresses often display characteristics of Victorian and French Rococo fashion. Here are some examples of Lolita dresses.
Often dresses are printed with cakes, candy, strawberries, and other sweets. This represents a kind of fantasy lifestyle, as shown in the Japanese film Kamikaze Girls (a great movie if you ever get the chance to watch it).
Gothic Lolita is the other end of Lolita fashion, darker with more elements of classic Gothic fashion. Although there are still lots of frills, Gothic Lolita shows an obsession with vampires and mini top hats.

Gothic Lolita Dress

 Lolita fashion in general has the sole purpose of being cute and girly, mostly for girls who never want to grow up.

Darkly Gothic Poetry For Your Enjoyment

Gothic poetry used to be my primary employment; although my angst has somewhat subsided, I still occasionally take pleasure in the sorrowful, horrific world of darkness that is Gothic culture.
For you, go create your own, it's highly amusing: http://www.deadlounge.com/poetry/created.html

My picks for dresses :)

Glamour Bunny Yellow Dress

Modcloth Modern Fairytale Dress

 Pin-up dresses first of all are amazing, especially in a pretty colour like pink, yellow, or blue. Vintage dresses can be nice if you're more conservative, the 50's have some cute dresses (worn with little white gloves). Modcloth is a great place to get vintage dresses: http://www.modcloth.com/

Another good place to get vintage is Anthropologie: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp

Corsets are always in fashion and always pretty, especially in lace...if you dare. Steampunk and gothic bondage fashion can be fun if you have a darker side, I particularly like Infectious Threads: http://infectiousthreads.com/

For more classic Victorian gothic fashion try: http://www.galleryserpentine.com.au/

Also American dollars will go far, because it's an Australian site (the best place to get gothic clothing is Australia)
