Gothic dress is forever black or dark, like deep blue red and green. All in all the color must be mysterious and somber.

Gothic advocator love to wear dress layer by layer, from corselet to waistcoat，from coat to cloak, equipped with jewelry all around.

If take the recent Paris fashion show of autumn and winter as an image, that’s a dark night goddess: dead white skin, bloody eye contact with white or blood-red or dark black, shape line, simple fabrics, high neckline’s single color gown, it feels fully  abstinency, stately and grim of victory era( while lace, ribbon, bowknot and girdle is popular to show the noble and elegance of women).

Gothic dresses aim to give people a feeling of mystery and noble, and usually couples with accessories with religion implications, like cross to form an atmosphere of cold beauty.

Gothic is always related to vampire, I especially like the actor dresses in the the movie: “Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles”, I smell the Gothic all through the movie.

☆Classic Lolita☆

As the name stated, classic lolita is the most elegance series in all lolita dresses. Its design likes the noble young women in Britain of 19th century, not only classic and elegance but also pure and sweet.

Classic lolita uses pure color for cloth mainly also, but it must be simple and elegant, can’t be glare. Other than white,black, pink, blue the four basic colors, all kind of beautiful flower-patterned cloth are also favored choice of Classic lolita.

Different from Sweet lolita, besides of classic lace, classic lolita rarely uses lots of ordinary shape and general quality lace. On cloth where lace is used, Classic lolita will replace lace with fold of same cloth material.

In a word, Classic Lolita dress is not simple but conciseness. Because style is generous and elegance, its more suitable than other lolita dresses to wear in ordinary life and more acceptable by parents and folks. When young girls are tired of exaggerated Sweet lolita and unusual Gothic lolita, Classic lolita will sure become their obligatory and final choice.

Its interesting to know that those who can express most temperament of Classic lolita is not the middle shcool grils but the young mature women who are over 20 with work and life experience.

Representative brand: Mary Magdalene, Victorian maiden, JULIETTE JUSTINE

These are Classic Lolita designs from Mary Magdalene which is a famous Japanese lolita dress brand for classic style. I do favor Mary’s style is very close the ordinary dresses and I can dress it in daily life.

I fall in love  with the lolita coats when I saw them first time. This really can be called elegant and aristocratic. Image in the cold winter, you wear such a coat, thats should be warm and looks nice! But Mary’s dresses are very very expensive, each cost hundreds of dollars.

Be ware to buy cheap replicate from online stores other than official site, many of them are just ripped off or of shitty quality.
