    nooo~ anon, that's the whole point! if it was more defined there would be much less possibilities to play around with it. honestly, you get a feel for it pretty quickly from looking at pictures if you've got the least bit of sense of style. then you can easily build around the elements you like best. i, for one, don't care for the boho or 70s elements at all, but i'm really into the antique doll and eastern european fairy tale aspect. honestly, to me as a lolita, it's really refreshing to find & get into a style that is so 'free'.

    for real. i was getting kind of tired of lolita, i mean i still liked it but it had lost a lot of its charm and the enthusiasm just wasn't there anymore.
    i discovered dolly kei and it was so charming. grimoire's interior played a part too because it's so eclectic, and they intertwine lots of things i'm into: vanitas, taxidermy, broken dolls, wild vegetation taking over, cluster, warm light, religious paraphernalia...
    dolly kei itself is a mix of so many influences that i appreciate, antique dolls, eastern european folklore, fairy tales, interesting textures, rich colours, fur, vintage oxidized jewelry...of course, like i said, there's also stuff i dislike: paisley, boho, frumpy things, shapeless layering, 70s crap, etc. but the good thing is, you can work around that. there's no checklist for a coord, no rules. you can pick things left and right and really make it your own. there's a lot of room for interpretation and no compulsory elements: hemlines can be any length, it can be form fitting or poofy, you don't have to balance colours perfectly, you can layer a lot or keep things simple, you can easily mix patterns, and work new things into it: Lily for example has a really distinct style with less warm colours, more black, shorter skirts, more modern elements, and odd additions like snakeskin print tights.
    that's why, paradoxically, it has really reinvigorated my love for lolita. i was drifting towards classic anyway but having dolly kei as an inspiration and cross-over possibility opened a window to not have it grow boring and generic too quickly. now i'm thinking up more unconventional coords using vintage garments, more colours, slightly altered silhouettes, i'm having all kinds of new ideas. it really brought back that spark from when i first started lolita.

    jesus christ i didn't mean to make this a novel, lol sorry.

    i'll copypaste something which was already a composite of copypasta, lol...

    "Dolly-kei takes it´s inspiration from antique dolls and has a very vintage as well as a gipsy-like feeling to it. It´s relatives are Mori (jap.= forest) girls fashion and – although distinct from it - Lolita fashion which has the same doll-like and Victorian elements but the all-over look is more modishly arranged and Japanesquely (“kawaii”) while Dolly fashion has a more European and “wilder”, less princess-like look and rather reminds of the way a more common girl dressed at that time in Europe. This fashion is still in it´s infancy and there aren´t any specific guidelines set yet."

    dolly kei is similar to lolita in the sense that it goes for a fairy tale & antique doll like aesthetic, and has a more 'structured' silhouette than mori girl. skirts are often shorter, the waistline is more defined, jackets are tailored more closely to the body and not loose knits like in mori girl. it does have the flowiness and layering of mori though, and also a certain 'rawness' , as opposed to lolita, which is more polished and 'artificial'. its specifics are darker, richer colours, jewel tones, intricate prints and ornate embroideries, lots of floral motifs, and a very eastern european flair (as opposed to mori's scandinavian and lolita's western european inspirations), for example hungarian or russian folklore and traditional dress. i can't help but be reminded of matryoshka dolls, for example! there's also a strong bohemian/gypsy element.

    same. and the color coording is awful in most outfits

    it kind of bugs me that almost everyone was into goth loli, then everyone got into ott sweet, then everyone's moving to classic and these new mori-dolly-folk-ish styles. all right, it's ok to people to like something, get bored and then move to something else...

    but this looks like people's just trying to fit in with everyone else. i thought lolita, as an alt fashion, wouldn't have this kind of thing - "oh, i'll stop wearing this and start wearing that because that's in now!"

    i was an ott sweet since my first lolita days and i don't think i would change just because of tendencies.

    http://universal-doll.com/2010/04/trendwatching-mori-gyaru/ covered it briefly. i don't think it was done well, tho. the natural feel of mori is lost on the more artificial barbie look of gyaru.

    i'm surprised they don't necessarily shorten the dresses or make them more form-fitting! i guess the main difference which still makes it gyaru is the attention to hair and make-up, which is a lot more 'wild' in full-on mori. thanks a lot for the scan, really interesting to see how different fashion subcultures interpret the same style/trend!

    uh. mori is much, much closer to natural kei/pink house than otome. dolly kei kinda resembles Jane Marple style otome, but meh...honestly compare all these pictures with ETC coords, there's little in common aside from girliness and lace.

    ehhh...they share similar aesthetics, sure, and probably have common roots, but lumping them all in together as if there were no fundamental differences is kinda silly imho. i mean if you wanna go that route, lolita can be pretty maidenly too (mostly classic or old school sweet and gothic), does that make it a substyle of otome as well? naw. i see it more like, both otome and lolita branched out of early natural kei (otome starting to take shape earlier than lolita) and became their own thing. at this point they're too huge to be lumped together. dolly kei might just be a foetus of a style at this point since it's emerged in the past few years, but it's still a very distinct thing.

    yeah well the problem doesn't lie with styles for not having set rules, but with dumbass weeaboo westerners with 0 sense of style/fashion who are apparently blind and can't tell ugly and mismatched from beautiful and coordinated...
    i don't get people. i suspect it's because most girls interested in japanese street fashion stumbled upon it through animu and mango, used to only wear sweatpants and twilight t-shirts, and don't know jackshit about clothes/fashion in general.

    I don't think that it's necessarily the case for everyone. Yes, I can tell certain individuals on the lj comm are just diving into mori/dolly because it's "in" and this is a chance at a fresh start for them to become e-famous, but I think a big factor of it is the lawlessness of the fashions. Girls who are tired of having to think "is this lolita" when they pick out coordinates are probably flocking to these styles because omg look, you can wear jeans if you want to, you can leave your wigs behind! Plus, the communities haven't forgotten what it's like to be newbies on the scene yet, so they're much more easygoing and supportive.

    Personally I'm more than happy to welcome other ex-lolitas to the fold. I love the creativity they're showing in incorporating lolita pieces into mori/dolly coordinates.

    basically, this. not everyone is born with a fashion and common sense. at least i know i wasn't - i had my phase of IS THIS RORI? IS THAT RORI? WHAT SUBGENRE IS THIS?.

    never been an ita (thankfully), but had to learn the guidelines before starting and trying new things. and, gosh, even developing an actual taste - before i'd just go for something that is "loli", the "is this actually pretty? do i like it?" never crossed my mind.

    so, yes, some people need guidelines to start out. they're not rules but they're essential to keep newbies from fucking up, ending on some fucks comm and b'awww-ing later

    Ok, in truth, I agree. But it's not mori, or spank or dolly that started this, its lolita becuase they have somehow developed a superiority complex. Frankly, I like all the fashions, and I thinkt hey have a lot to offer. What I don't like is the way lolita is so restricting and catty... I just want to wear pretty clothing not fit into some box labeled lolita or mori or indie or 80s or whatever it may be.

    THIS!
    i actually think certain types of mori or dolly would look really cute with lolita in a photoshoot. maybe not sweet, but gothic or classical would go great in like a fairy tale themed shoot. the gothic lolita could be the witch, the mori girl could be the princess who is forced to wear rags, etc. i don't see why people can't be civil to each other. lolitas at least are always whining that "omg! lolita can't be a subculture! we have no ideas or stories or music or anything, we just want to worship burrando, fuck off!" so if it's not a subculture, why do they need to turn on the us vs them mentality.

    this again...they are similar and do overlap, yes, but there are fundamental differences. think of it like this: mori is scandinavian (or what the japanese perceive it to be) while solly is eastern european (or what the japanese perceive it to be).

    mori is about comfort and warmth. it's very wild: hair is generally long, wavy, even a bit tangled. make-up is minimal, the most important aspect being neither eyes or lips but rosy cheeks, to give that healthy living outdoors look. mori is extremely layered and flowy (some would say shapeless and frumpy, heh), hemlines are rarely above the knees. there's lots of fur, wool, and knits. colours are generally neutral, earthy tones, or very subdued dusty pastels and jewel tones. clothes are often a bit worn out, with patches and frayed edges. accessories aren't all that important, and generally carry a vegetation/flower or forest theme: crowns made of wines and flowers, dried flowers in antique gold lockets, owl pendants, etc. jewelry is kept to a minimum, or made of natural materials such as leather and yarn. shoes are generally flat, heels are too sophisticated and impractical (who would wear heeled pumps while living in the woods?). emphasis isn't laid on being girly in the conventional sense: think San from Mononoke hime, she's a (beautiful) girl, wears adornments, but is completely untamed, and doesn't experience vanity.

    cont'd from >>2881913

    dolly on the other hand is a lot more structured. hemlines can reach from the upper thigh to the ankles. dresses, tops and jackets are a lot more fitted, emphasizing the silhouette/waist. hair and make-up are more elaborate; there are unnatural hair colours, shorter, more structured cuts, eyeshadow and lipstick. the mori girl is a peasant living in the woods, the dolly girl lives in the village or is a princess, even. dolly kei has the layering of mori, but it's much less of a requirement and rarely makes the silhouette as bulky as in mori. textures are more rich and varied: there's prints and embroideries, more elaborate textiles, silk, velvet, corduroy. colours are a lot more vivid: bright reds, golds and greens, deep jewel tones, plum, indigo, wine red...there's a lot more accessorizing, fake flowers, brooches, curtain tassels worn as necklaces, antique jewelry, headdresses/headbands, etc. shoes are more modern, and often heeled. lots of colourful and patterned socks and tights. dolly kei is more sophisticated. it takes its inspiration from antique dolls, eastern european/russian folklore, fairy tales. it's wilder than lolita, but not quite as wild as mori. motifs are also more diverse: vanitas/memento mori, including taxidermy (fox stoles, animal skulls used in accessories such as headdresses or chokers, etc), religious imagery/paraphernalia (loads of crucifixes), bohemian and gypsy style, 70s cuts and prints (paisley), broken dolls, etc etc.

    there are most definitely other differences, most notably regarding silhouette, accessorizing, motifs, and hair + make-up.

    All my mori and dolly kei images are lumped together in one folder and I often find it hard to tell which is which. D:

    Is there really such hate between these two styles and lolita? I love all of it, and plan on mixing my favourite aspects of them together whenever I can.
    This sort of reminds me of the whole lolita vs. gyaru thing that only really seemed to exist on gyaru_secrets. Apparently anon gyaru were "so tired of lolis hatin on us!!!" while the lolitas where just like, bwuh?

    also guys, can we please please stop the ridiculous ~rivalry~ and mud throwing going on? there's really no point...natural kei/pink house, otome, mori girl, dolly kei, and lolita have so much in common and overlap a lot (fairy kei is another thing imho but does have strong links with the direction sweet lolita has been taking, and i for one like it as well, even if i personally dress more classic lolita), you'd think most people into either of those styles would appreciate the aesthetics of the others or at least respect the people who are into the others. we all look like freaks to outsiders anyway.

    thing is, it's very easy to mix both styles, so a lot of pictures floating around aren't distinguishably dolly or mori but a bit of both. they're two distinct styles (i explained it in detail above) but are kinda like fashion siblings, they have the same basic genetic material :p so you can totally fuse the two (wow that sounds like i'm encouraging clothing incest or something). they're also more distantly related to natural kei, otome and lolita, so you can totally mix elements from the one with the other. ~*endless possibilities*~ :p
    also i really don't get all the hate. i think it's just /cgl/ stirring drama for the hell of it because there's absolutely no reason for animosity and i haven't noticed it anywhere else. -shrug-
