Spice Up Your Prom: Go Gothic Lolita!

Prom was never a big deal for me, dressing up is always a hassle and I’m a lazy person. However, I went anyways.  Last year as a junior I did the traditional prom dress, a Jessica McClintock. This year I went in Lolita fashion with a friend. It’s senior year and we wanted to make it  memorable in more ways than one!

While I do admire the admire EGL fashion, I know near to nothing. However my friend is an expert in Lolita fashion and coordination in general. So I borrowed her beautiful dress and accessories imported from Japan. The brand is Angelic Pretty, quite a well-known and pricey one too. The details are amazing, there were little dangling forks and spoons on the ribbons!

This is the official prom picture. I’m the Asian girl in the black dress. My friend is in the red.

There were some people who recognized the fashion, but many guessed we were “HAIR-A-JEW-KEW” girls. Close enough guys, close enough. We actually got a lot of compliments and props, even from strangers, which was surprising for me. I think some of my teachers and classmates were stunned, since I usually wear very plain clothes.

Has anyone else done/wanted to do something like this for prom?
