#30 Gorgeous lolita-style fashion is now hugely popular in China! - Impersonating Marie Antoinette -

Hot Summer weather is kind of like an enemy of lolita fashion! Layering garments, such as a pannier (side hoops), a blouse, and a pinafore dress can be tough for lolitas!

Various lolita brands will be releasing clothes that feature Halloween inspired colors and designs!
