I want to start dressing in Lolita style, but in the old school style. Do you know where I can buy clothes or have any tip on how to make my own dresses?
>>10964044in the nicest way possible you actually have to look at oldschool pieces and develop and eye for it, the "style" you're refering to is usually just traditional lolita.rereleases of older pieces are your first safest bet also japanese market places, no other way, lacemarket you can sometimes get lucky but japanese market takes priority in good pricing. oldschool is classed as anything released between 1979 and 2009, imo anyway, so the lolibrary will help you identifying pieces released between then so you can easily identify it when on sale (´• ω •`)also , dedicate time to searching because old pieces, especially pieces in demand tend to get snagged quickly. >I have oldschool collection dating pieces between 1989 - 2008

>>10964075i mean they arent wrong, oldschool isnt a style whatsoever, its a time period and when people say oldschool style it tells me they've seen it on tiktok because that is how the fashion is framed on that app

>>10964109Do you know of any users who create tutorials for Lolita dresses? Both on YouTube and other sites
