I would like to point out that Lolita has many many many rules that , if not followed then the "true" Lolita consider you a cosplayer.
from the Lolita handbook LJ
Link"Lolita Cosplay is to real lolita what school-girl costumes are to real schoolgirls. It's a little strange that someone would dress up like something you wear regularly, and is sometimes taken as an insult to dedicated wearers of the fashion though it might not be meant as one. Lolita costumes tend to be cheaply made and are generally less conservative than real lolita clothes (much like the naughty schoolgirl costume), so they can easily be distinguished as costumes. Sometimes poorly done lolita is also referred to as cosplay because the poor quality of the outfit seems like it was meant to be worn rarely.
Often these outfits look very French Maid and for some reason seem to have a lot of cosplay add-ons such as cat ears and wings, - things you wouldn't wear everyday. Very often these accessories are viewed as distasteful if you are wear it to a normal lolita meeting, during a regular day or something. Usually lolitas will wear one during a themed party, like Alice in Wonderland or an animal-themed party. Some brands also make cat and bunny ears; this does not mean that they are automatically OK, sometimes they get the style wrong too.
Please note wearing lolita to a cosplay event does not make it cosplay lolita. Some people just feel more comfortable wearing their lolita in this sort of setting, but they treat it as you would a nice evening dress - meant to be worn on special occasions but not as a costume. SO be careful when using applying this term to others."

HEREIt is also very easy to inject the Lolita style into steampunk, because for the simple fact that they are both Victorian.
