Older Lolitas, How old can you be for Lolita? Is there a "too old" for Lolita? About Lady Lolitas'.

There has been some discussions on EGL and FB about when you are "too old for Lolita".

Some say 20, some say 30, some say 40 ... etc.

But most say, you are never too old for Lolita! :D

And this isn't just a naïve, romantic view, I dare say.

I must argue, that at least here in Europe, you could easily dress Lolita 'til you die - even be buried in it.

Just because you are older, doesn't mean that you still can't be cute :)

A lot of older women collect porcelain dolls and teddy bears.

THE Classic Lolita. Original! 
She most likely DIY:ed the embroidery on her JSK ;)

And we are an ageing Lolita population.

A lot of girls that started wearing Lolita in their 20's probably won't stop wearing the style just because they turn a certain age.

I believe that the main reasons that Lolitas' stop wearing the style is because they change their life in a way that doesn't complement the fashion. Or they're just tired of it. I don't think anyone would ever give up their favourite interest just because they are told from others they are "too old" (and stay happy with their choice). Especially Lolita fashion, since it's rather non-conform as it is.

The best arguement I've heard about Lolita and "certain age" is that actually most of the Lolita clothes are designed for children no more than 5 years old! Just look at Sugary Carnival - it's a print for a baby's room (no more than 3 years - TOPS!) So even if you are 15, you are "too old" for Lolita. So there is no logic in  the sense of drawing lines between age and Lolita fashion.

These ladies may might as well be dressed in Angelic Pretty!

And I mean, seriously - think of the endless possibilities when being older and wearing Lolita - you will be more mature and people will hopefully not harass you as easily as when you are young, you have a certain authority that only comes with age and think of the greater budget that you will possess that you can splurge on brand and seamstresses sewing up your dream dresses!

You could travel the world attending Lolita-meets, live in Victorian hotel-rooms, sip tea from antique china and play bridge and cricket with your Lolita friends... -Life would be a party!

(I'm actually starting too look forward to becoming a Lady Lolita now... :)

I believe that we are going to see a lot more elderly Lolitas' as decades pass.

Just check out the mainstream fashion industry!

Lots and lots of women in their 70s and 80s are better dressed than their 20s-something fashion peers :)

Could pass as Punk/Goth Lolita - just add a petti :)

I want to call them "Lady Lolitas'", and really show my greatest respect to women who have mastered Lolitas' fashion for so many years.

Here are some inspirational photos of one of my favourite Lady Lolita,
Mary Alice from Arsenic and Old Lace!
