What is Sweet Lolita?

Sweet Lolita follows all the classic guidelines of the Lolita style, such as frilly blouses, knee-high socks, and large, bell-shaped jumper skirts with petticoats underneath. However, Sweet Lolita differs from the other variations of Lolita in its extravagance and childishness.
