    Lolita fashion (ロリータ・ファッション Rorīta fasshon?) is a fashion subculture originating in Japan that is based on Victorian-era clothing, but the style has expanded greatly beyond Japan.[1] The Lolita look began primarily as one of modesty with a focus on quality in both material and manufacture of garments. The original silhouette is of a knee length skirt or dress with a "cupcake" shape assisted by petticoats, but has expanded into various types of garments including corsets and floor length skirts. Blouses, knee high socks or stockings and headdresses are also worn.[2] Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has a subculture that is present in many parts of the world.

    Your best bet might be to get in contact with UCC's Sci-Fi society. They show anime as well as Sci-Fi. They also go to a lot of the Sci-Fi and anime conventions around the country. I don't know if there's a group in Cork that does Lolita but there are definitely cos players who go to the conventions (Eirtakon and Q-Con in Belfast being two big ones.) If you could find people at them I'd say you'd find a couple of people involved with it.

    Funny you mention that, as Cork's very first Anime & Sci-fi Convention is happening on Friday the 28th (next week.) in U.C.C.

    It will run for the whole weekend.
