List of Lolita Resources
Someone in my comm encouraged me to make this list of resources for new lolitas. We were talking about how hard it can be to find information from Google search and there's just so much misinformation out there. I have a list of links that I've bookmarked and read over the past decade for when I finally become a lolita. I organized the list by sections in a specific order. It goes from information about the fashion and then to where to buy it.
To any new lolitas, there is so much information out there about lolita fashion that is still available. Part of the fun for me was researching the fashion, looking at coords, and learning what makes lolita lolita. There's so much information out there for you to immerse yourself in and even more stuff that's not listed in this resource list.
What is Lolita Fashion
Fyeah Lolita - This is my favorite blog and I still go back and read it. The last post was made in 2016 and the fashion has changed a lot since then, but it's pretty comprehensive and provides a good base knowledge. Imo, I think these articles (1 2 3 4) are required reading for anyone entering the fashion
Lolita Fashion 101 - Bay Area Kei did several videos on lolita fashion during lockdowns. I recommend them for anyone that prefers video format.
Raine Dragon's Lolita 101 series - Raine is a lolita that still updates her blog and has a lot of information on the history of lolita fashion. And she has a really great article on Chinese indie brands that should also be required reading for anyone new to using Taobao.
Costs of Lolita Manufacturing - One of the first things you'll notice is that lolita can be expensive. This resource breaks down the costs associated with manufacturing and why brands charge what they charge.
Substyles of Lolita Fashion
The below links are for the three basic styles of lolita fashion. If you research more, you'll find that there are different directions that you can take your wardrobe, but I recommend starting with one of the three above to make it easier for to build your wardrobe.
Classic Lolita
Sweet Lolita
Gothic Lolita
Where to get Lolita Fashion
Before even buying anything, you will need a tape measure to take your measurements. You'll need to measure your bust, waist, hips, and shoulder width in centimeters. That's how you will find out which clothes will fit you. Sizing can be different from brand to brand and country to country. I know many are used to buying using letter sizes, but it's best to go by actual measurements. Aim to buy clothes that are 4 - 6cm larger than your actual measurements to allow room for breathing/eating/etc. If you're brand new to the fashion, I highly recommend sticking to the sources listed in the videos below. It's very easy to get scammed if you don't know what to look for and I'd hate for anyone to lose their money on barely wearable clothes from Amazon/Ebay/Aliexpress.
Where to Buy Lolita FashionHow to shop for Lolita Fashion online - secondhand is life for lolita fashion and there are so many options. PinkFakeFlowers goes in depth into the many ways to get it. I personally recommend 42lolita for anyone looking to buy from Chinese brands on Taobao.
Plus Size Lolita
Unfortunately, many of the Japanese brands and even some Chinese indie brands are not size inclusive. If you can't fit into the mainstream brands, don't worry there are still options. I always recommend Meta since they have a Plus Size and occasionally a Plus Plus size of their dresses and blouses that goes up to 160cm or even 200cm in some releases.
Plus Size Lolita Crash Course
Where to Start as a Plus Sized Lolita - This is a wonderful resource listing brands that are size inclusive.
Online Spaces for Lolita Fashion
Lolita fashion is pretty spread out now compared to the EGL (still recommend reading livejournal because its a cool time capsule of the lolita comm) days, but there are still groups on Facebook.
BSoLF - Great for beginners to ask questions and be helped by others. It's hard to search here but I recommend looking through the group for info.
Your Local Comm (if applicable) - most are still on Facebook even if they still have a Discord. You can search for your local one on this list.

Three helpful tips for coordinating an outfit
Lolita Tips Tumblr - I don't recommend Fanplusfriend anymore, but 42lolita is a good replacement. This tumblr is a great resource for inspo and there are many answered asks to reference. Unfortunately, polyvore is no longer a thing and many pictures are missing as a result.
Bonus
These are just a mishmash of links to resources/lists/blog that I like.

who is your favourite of yuis new art?
// I honestly don’t think I can choose, because my favorite one always changes depending on my mood, yet I could rant a bit about each of them. 🩷
1. Her face makes her resemble a dog and I find that so CUTE! I also like the outfit, especially the beret, but the🧍🏼♀️ pose feels a bit awkward, lol.
2. LOVE THE POSE! Her face looks mischievous, and she rocks than mini braid! Lilac/Purple is my second favorite color but I would have liked the outfit way more if it were pink. Although, it’s overall really nice.
3. Would I ever wear something so revealing? No. Is that outfit my favorite one? YES. It’s giving idol and I’m all for the hair accessories and ribbons!!
4. That outfit is the closest to my style irl, which means I would definitely wear it uwu. I love Yui’s confused expression too, haha. She’s so moe there.
5. Gothic Lolita is a style I’ve always liked and it looks great on Yui. The hairstyle is pretty but I feel like it doesn’t really suit her that much? Well, at least I like her fangs.
6. BRIDE YUI MY LOVE! The hair, face and pose look AMAZING, plus the first half of the dress is gorgeous! However, I’m not a fan of the second half. I feel like it’s a bit too overdesigned…?
7. A simple yet very Yui-esque outfit, I love it! The pearl necklaces adds such a feminine touch~!
