Princess?

Ok, I get the feeling this month has secretly been marked as the month of princesses. There does seem to be talk about it kicking about in loli blogs and journals.

Yes, I know Pupe isn't the best example of princess style of Lolita but it is fun in the sense. It's different compared to we all want to be or not to be princess.
We dress up in many styles in Lolita, nothing is certain. We have different choices in the fashion itself. From memory Princess style is called Hime. It is probably the laciest and frilliest of the styles out there.

Now all honesty I feel that Hime, to me remember, is a style for special occasions. Something were I would go and track down one of Baby's old white princess one-piece to wear for my wedding dress. Yes I would so do it. Heck, if I was go down the red carpet. I so would and before you know it I would be posted across fashion and gossip magazines with the title what not to wear. Lets face it, would most westerners get the fashion or see it as a joke especially with a frilly Hime dress. Then again I would wear Mary Madeline on the red carpet, so I would be trying to give Lolita bad name because I so wanted to wear something that appears to be too much over the top costume.(yes, bad word)

I guess that is the great thing about Lolita, everything can be overly cute, very elegant, gothic, punk and Princesses. Yet it all one fashion. I know it has been said that you should pick one style and go with it but I really can't do that plus I find it boring. I need variety and the fact the fashion has it makes it more fun and more suited to me over all for that reason. I understand if some don't agree with me. That's good you may choose to Hime full time and all I can say is good luck because the hair would kill me trying to keep the volume and making it perfect for a princess style to wear the tiaras with. Mind you I never understood open toed heels with tights look, I find it a bit hit and miss depending on the shoe.
I know this is one of the more expensive styles to follow and probley requires a lot of love, attention and money to follow. I salute you Hime Lolitas, wear your outfits with pride.

Some pictures of dresses, I love the last two and yes the second last one is a JSK but it can be used for the style. Just add frilly arm sleeved blouse.
