This guide will discuss some of the fabrics commonly used in lolita fashion.
Many of the existing guides for lolita fashion tell the reader to buy items which are not only of “good quality”, but specifically items made from cotton cloth and cotton lace. Over the years, this standard for identifying “good quality” lolita items has shifted considerably, along with the types of fabrics used in the fashion overall.
Despite that, many of these guides haven’t been updated for years, and as a result, I often see people confused about the materials used in their dresses and skirts, and whether they’re “good enough”. So I wanted to clarify a few points about fabrics that might be misunderstood!
This information should help you if you’re considering sewing your own items, or are worried about how to wash or maintain your ready-made garments.
