Country Loli

Country Lolita refers to the Victorian Country side fashion for young girls.

The fashion of Country Loli is derived from Sweet Loli. It shares the same prints and floral/fruity details. The main different is the look that Country portrays.

Country Loli takes inspiration form Anne of Greengables, Pollyanna, Little Women and the like. They have straw hats and straw baskets for bags. Their appearance is always for the warm day country outing.

Most Country Loli ensembles are casuals. The prints are lights colored and vibrant. Small details like berries, sun, big bows and flowers are ever present. Hair styles are usually braided like Pollyanna or let down. Make-up is light and minimal. Naturals are the pallet of choice.

Activities of the Victorian Era

Those of the noble class had a lot of leisure time. They were paid well by the crown and they were exempt from taxes, so they had time and money.

Usually, ladies hosted a lot of things from soirée to maskings (masquerade balls).

There were also a lot of small everyday activities women partake.

• Picnic- Picnics in lush parks were common. It was done during Sundays with family or on any sunny day with friends.
• Grooming. Ladies and gentlemen had to always appear respectable and of best appearance. During gathering, ladies and gentlemen go off on their own to barter gossip and grooming tips.
• Visits. The younger generation of the Victorian nobility loved to visit each other. On days they do not, they send notes to each other.

These three activities are suggestions you can do with friends. It would be in the spirit of Victorianism to also dress the part.
