My girlfriend wants to get me into lolita cosplays but I don't know anything about it and want to at least do some research before she starts dolling me up. What are some good brands to buy from and can I have some cute inspo pics to show her? TYSM <3
lolita isn't cosplay, it's a fashion!taobao brands might be the more cheaper option and seems to be a good starter, although I have to say (from personal experience) it can't even come close to japanese brand pieces and you will eventually regret spending money on taobao, at least I did. But there might be some really good taobao brands out there but I'm not really familiar with them, I think they got some fairly good accessories in my opinion, I like the headdresses from "rococoheroin"stay away from devilinspired (taobaoreseller) because they mark up their prices a lot and the customer service is dogshit, 42lolita would be a little bit better if you don't want to order via taobao directly / proxy servicesfor japanese brand, closetchild and wunderwelt are reliable second hand (online) stores, maybe checkout lace market or whatever second hand platform is popular in your countryI would also recommend having a look at different substyles (sweet, gothic, classic) and think about what would suit you the best so you can narrow your options
