How to dress Gothic Lolita
How I did it: Lolita often seems like a very expensive fashion, especially if you usually wear T-shirt+Jeans or something like that xD. Actually, the clothes are worth their money: they are usually made with wonderful fabrics and laces, and are perfect in every smallest detail.
Like every other fashion, there are the "brands", whose clothes are prettier but also more expensive, and the offbrand stuff, whose quality is a bit inferior but its prices are better.
So, if your problem is the money, don't worry! There are sites like Bodyline (Beware, there's also some ita stuff on there! The 'very' lolita clothes are really nice though :D) or Miwitch (that offers a shopping service for R-Series and Infanta, which are two chinese brands) who offer nice quality at a cheap price, and, if you are able to, you can make yourself beautiful handmade clothes! :D
As for brands, the less expensive ones are Metamorphose (which offers classic, sweet, sometimes gothic lolita clothes), Innocent World (classic and sweet lolita), Putumayo (punk lolita); they are expensive anyway if you want to buy brand-new stuff, but if you don't mind used clothes you can buy them on Egl_Comm_Sales or on (JAPANESE, not EBay!) auction sites (you will have to use a shopping service, though) :D
