sleepywolf Posted July 14, 2015 Can someone help me identify this outfit style? CoolCat calls it Kimono but I thought a kimono allways is foot length. I'm particularily interested in this skirt length version with "leg warmers". 【Secret Cat】Dollfie Dream Kimono Costume #1 【Secret Cat】Dollfie Dream Kimono Costume #2 Maybe it's a Chinese/Taiwanese version of kimono?

Minty Posted July 14, 2015 I think it might be Wa Lolita. Googling "Wa lolita leg warmer" brings up a similar style. After a bit more research, it seems leg warmers are often frowned upon as accessories to be used when wearing lolita outfits. ^^; So you may not see too many examples with the leg warmers.

babytarragon Posted July 14, 2015 You can try yukata as keyword rather than kimono maybe? It's similar to wa-loli as Minty said but not the same. I don't think there's a specific term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepywolf Posted July 14, 2015 I think you're both right. The more I look at pictures of waloli outfits, the more I think that CoolCat's outfits are variations on the waloli theme. Looks good though! Dang it, why did I miss CoolCat's release of those outfits!

babytarragon Posted July 14, 2015 They are very cute AirCastle on taobao have something similar though, as do kondoll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anna-neko Posted July 14, 2015 wa-loli is what it is, but the leg-warmers is suuuper oldskool (no lolita will be caught dead with those now) wa-loli is based around a kimono (or rather, yukata), but then adding the lolita spin by shortening it and adding petticoats for a full fluffy skirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The term best to describe this style is Wa-lolita. Frilly thighhigh / knee high lengthed kimono. looking for - , Marisa Short Wig, full set Beatrice or default face + eyes & Sasara Fullset or default face + eyes.

sleepywolf Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks babytarragon! Will look at them if I can get TaoBao to load up properly. 99.999...% of the time I get page load errors or a reset connection on TaoBao wa-loli is what it is, but the leg-warmers is suuuper oldskool (no lolita will be caught dead with those now) Oh? Including more ornate leg warmers like those in the pictures? The plain white ones, like Kanu Unchou's default outfit, is a bit oldskool I guess. The frilly pink ones in the pictures are a really nice touch though I think.

The plain white ones, like Kanu Unchou's default outfit, is a bit oldskool I guess Clothes styles change over time =P lolitas right now are more into knee or thigh-high socks with ornate patterns printed on them. Or lace tights! To get super-pedantic, Kanu is wearing super-loose slouchy socks, not legwarmers. That was also a fashion thing like a decade ago! It was very kogal for a while, with very short skirts and loose socks & eye-catching makeup & very often bleached hair But hey, you're dressing up your girl, get her whatever outfits you like best!

sleepywolf Posted July 15, 2015 To get super-pedantic, Kanu is wearing super-loose slouchy socks, not legwarmers. Ah! So true, forgot about that. Was thinking of how Volks did Kanu's outfit: short socks with separate loose "leg warmers". But hey, you're dressing up your girl, get her whatever outfits you like best! Heh, after all, I'm a guy with zero fashion sense so that's usually what I do and don't care what others think [rimg]http://www.dollfiedreams.com/gallery/image.php?album_id=201&image_id=846[/rimg] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
