Lolita fashion (ロリータ・ファッション Rorīta fasshon or Elega-torian?) is a fashion subculture originating in Japan that is based on Victorian clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period. The Lolita look is primarily one of modesty with a focus on quality in both material and manufacture of garments. The silhouette is of a knee length skirt or dress with a 'cupcake' shape assisted by petticoats. Blouses, knee high socks or stockings and headdresses are also worn. Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has a subculture that is present in many parts of the world.
