Elegant Gothic Lolita

So recently when I was shopping for some clothes on ebay I came across a Japanese fashion trend that I am very drawn to. It's called "Elegant Gothic Lolita" and it's ethos is basically elegant clothes that are sort of all prim and proper but would traditionally be worn by young girls. Most of the clothes also tend to be black and white. I actually used to dress this way when I was into etheral goth back in trhe early nineties. From what I read the trend started in Japan in the late nineties and has been on the fringe of fashion in the West for the past few years. I have found some really amazing clothes on Japanese web sites but they are pretty expensive. Thankfully I found a designer in the States who will handmake some EGL clothes for you for a very reasonable price. My first purchase is probably going to be this dress:




It's going to go well with the new shoes I got I think.
