I have to say that when I picture a lolita in my head, I see someone with petite, not exactly chubby but not super model kind of slim either. The "roundness" is the key ^_^;;

But that doesn't mean that people who aren't petite, flat on the chest region and round and soft overall can not be lolita. If that was the case, I couldn't be one either biggrin Since though I am petite and my face is round, my limbs are really long and I look kind of funny because of that. I have really long legs and arms which are slim, too. This helps me in cosplay (most anime chatacters have a build similar to mine) but not in lolita.. I just try to work around it and disguise it by "breaking the flow" of my limbs - like wearing a skirt with many horizontal lace rows and knee highs with big sock stoppers...

hmm, i'm rather tall but i don't mind. you just have to deal with it and lolita shouldn't be based apon how tall or short or slender you are. lolita is an expression of you, not what other people think of you.

I'm only 5'2'' amd I get called a midget or dwarf in my school. But I think I'm a good hiegth. I'm not fat, nor very skinny. I'd say I'm inbetween. I can't dress in Loli not as much as I'd like because I can't buy any clothes. ( Money is a problem for me and I'd have to ship them from Japan or England or something..) I also have alot of trouble with making clothes..No sewing machine and my mom wont let me hand sew..>__<

But, short or tall, it doesn't matter. I love any loli person because that's just the way I am. Unless they are a snobbish prit. Us Loli's are a good change for society. Tall loli's are just as beautiful as short ones.

<3 you all!

All Lolita Heights look good. Whether you're really short, or really tall, you would still look good. ^_^

When I think of Lolita, I just think of people dressing in the clothing and looking like a baby doll or someone from the Victorian era. Height and size does not matter to me because I view almost all Lolita's as beautiful or handsome or elegant whenever they wear Lolita. Tall Lolitas do not bother me at all. I admire them for their height when I am only 5' 1" and need platforms. The only type of Lolita that does bother me is if they are more than 100 pounds overweight because well, you would not look like a doll anymore.

I'm 4'9 I think but the clothes are a bit to big if you ask me.

That's what I think too. I think it's because of the large and small scale proportions that come with clothes in lolita. Big skirts, a bit more fitting tops. Big shoes. biggrin

I'm about 5"5 or 5"6 I don't know, we use the metric system where I live.
I don't think it really matters, I saw this beautiful tall girl in the mall and the first thing that popped into my mind is that she should wear lolita. It would suit her so well. I'm not sure how lolita will look on me, most people say I'm cute already, so I have a feeling I'll be attacked by hugging people whee

size doesn't matter, just wear things that suit you, it's the same with any fashion, be sensible wear things to flatter your figure.

I'm 5"2-ish. Not so tall, but I've grown a bit from what I used to be (little miss shorty).
I'm not extremely skinny, but I'm pretty slim. I'm the SM size that's usually sold out in stores (just my luck).

Anyways I don't think size should matter as long as the lolita looks cute in her lolita outfits. Short lolis are darling, but I've seen really cute tall ones too.

That is what a lolita is. Lolita's were made to be extremly young looking. Not just because Mana made it that way. But, because those who were called "lolitas" were minors having flings with older men in their 20's + So when you think of a minor, do you think of a tall fully developed body, or do you find it to be a small petite girl when you hear such things. o.o

Well, I look the Lolita part, I guess. I'm 5 foot 1 and weight 85 lbs. xD Yet, I am 16 so I look like a 9-12 year old wlaking around in the highschool. So, people tend to call me a lolita. o.o:

All I got to say is...that if you love the fashion...go with it and wear it all you want...but if it bothers you, then just don't wear it.

I don't really think of them as rail thin and/or short and It'd never bother me to see a tall lolita. I'd think It was cute. heart

It doesn't matter in my opinion. I'm born to be in between. I'm at about 5"2-ish and I'm considered petite. I'm pretty tall compared to my relatives [in the Phillipines, I was taller than half of my AUNTS! I was even taller than my Lola!]. Actually, I think tall lolitas are so lucky. They don't have to kill themselves walking in platforms!

Regardless of your height, everyone has their advantage with clothes. Tall people don't need platforms, short people can find clothes in their size a bit easier.

Height matters if you want to fit into the standard sizes brand clothing comes in. You shouldn't be much taller than 5'5". I'm 5'7", and quite a few things look a little short on me.

But, it's a matter of finding brand that are cut differently, that have longer skirts/sleeves, or getting stuff tailored, or choosing a design that suits you ^_^

I am of the opinion that Lolitas can be of any size, but larger/very tall lolitas have to be very choosy with what they wear to ensure it flatters their shape.

At 5' and half an inch, and being a widdle fatty, I have to make sure I don't make the mistake of other fat girls. Trying to cinch my waist on the outside of my clothing. o_O Then I look like a number 8. Not pretty. So long as I wear things that are shaped and colored just right, I think I look fine. Sure, I won't be all "perfect", but screw it. I'm going to enjoy my life, not let my size limit it. If others don't like it, they can just laugh at me or look away.

An hour glass figure can be avoided by wearing dresses that do not go in at the waist. Such as dresses that gather just under the bust and expand outward from there.

The taller lolita should avoid platforms. Shorter lolita are able to wear platform shoes which are cuter, but on taller girls well... someone dresses as an innocent little girl who is towering over you could come off more as scary than cute.

I am 5 foot 3 inches. I wish I were shorter though. A lot of the girls I know are shorter than me so when I am dressed lolita and they are not, if I wear platforms it looks odd. sweatdrop But if I am to be walking alone, I will wear platforms.
