Edit
Lolita is a fashion ( ロリータ・ファッション ) largely popular in Japan, that is primarily influenced by Victorian children’s clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period. Lolita has made this into a unique fashion by adding gothic and original design elements to the look. From this, Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has created a devoted subculture in Japan. The Lolita look consists primarily of a knee length skirt or dress, headdress, blouse, petticoat, knee length socks or stockings and rocking horse or high heel/platform shoes. Teddy bears and dolls are often carried to emphasize the childlike look.
This tag covers all types of lolita fashion, however when an image is obviously a mix of gothic and lolita styles, and is thus gothic lolita, it should be tagged as such.
Please note that the lolita tag is not to be used for lolicon images where lolita fashion is not present. For the purposes of danbooru, lolita and lolicon are very different things.
