When I was waaay younger, I really gets into it.
I've got plenty of pictures of me at that time if someone wants to see.
But I've stopped mostly because
-The clothes were really expensive
-The dresses and skirts were usually really short for me, as I've got tall legs... because
-The clothes are made for asian girls, who really, aren't made the same as european girls like me, so the sizes were difficult to adapt
-It was hard to combine with my horse, even if I did a bit of shooting with it, there was always the scare of ruining the clothes (fragile and difficult to wash)
-I did my own style, against following the "lolita dress code" and it was not well seen in the community, at the end I was tired of it. Also I was really light, no make up (I never wore make up) or wigs.
If anyone got questions, I will be happy to discuss my own experience.
