The Lolita Complex: - Scholarly Commons Home

Accessories will match the Sweet Gothloli’s theme. Therefore, she
might have a “fruit” necklace, brooch or pendant. She will also carry a frilly
parasol, a cute little handbag or pretty basket, or a soft-toy rabbit, sweet
teddy bear or pretty doll.

Figure 13: Sweet Lolita (wearing Angelic Pretty, Japanese label)
Main sources for the sweeter Lolita ranges in Japan are Angelic Pretty
(Fig. 13), Manifesteange Metamorphose temps de fille, *
World and Baby, the Stars Shine Bright (BTSSB).
Victorian Maiden, Innocent
* Often shortened to Metamorphose temps de fille or just Metamorphose. Note that titles associated with
the Japanese Lolita movement are quite often French, for affectation. This is to add a romantic
association with the Rococo period. Although the French grammar and or spelling is often
incorrect, this, in my opinion, adds to the quirkiness and appeal.
