If the Sweet <strong>Lolita</strong>’s dress is not monochromatic, it will be patterned<br />

with a pretty border or all-over sweet print including dainty dollhouse<br />

florals, roses, fruit (commonly strawberries and or cherries), cakes,<br />

lollies/sweets/candy, ice-cream sundaes and or Alice/fairytale characters,<br />

often against a background of gingham, stripes or spots. <strong>The</strong> Gothloli that<br />

wears a patterned fabric is usually categorised as a Country <strong>Lolita</strong> or a<br />

Country Sweet <strong>Lolita</strong>, a subcategory of the Sweet <strong>Lolita</strong> (Figs 12 & 14).<br />
