To bump into your conversation... I'm getting the feeling you're mixing up lolita and cosplay. Since, well, lolita is not cosplay. Cosplay is done of a specific character in a series/game/whatever, but lolita is not that, except if you're talking about Nabokov's novel. Also, if you want to dress in lolita... It is expensive. Last week alone I spent 400 dollars on clothes. I only bought two skirts, a pair of socks and a bow. Just wanted to make that clear, now move on.
