Lolita fashion refers to a kind of clothing style started in Japan. This style is characterized by ruffles, lace and bows, and adored by most young girls, and also impress us with cuteness and elegance. A proper Lolita should look elegant, modest and classy, so there is no Lolita dress of low quality.

However, Cosplay is just a kind of role play game. Cosplayers are more likely to focus on replaying the character or the stories, so they actually have low expectations on the costumes they wear. Cosplayers tend to care more about whether they looking cool enough in their costumes.

Due to fast development of Lolita fashion all over the world, some cosers like to integrate Lolita design to cosplay, thus it is usually seen some girls wear Lolita-typed clothing but not real lolita since their dresses accurately look like costumes. We call this type of Lolita for Cosplay Lolita.

Cosplay Lolita is less modest and elegant than proper Lolita. This Lolita cosplay costumes are usually wore at Anime or game conventions and these Lolita cosers usually cosplay some Anime character such as Misa Amane from Death Note who often wears Lolita typed clothing.
