Hey Lolita girls ^_^, through the previous article “Why Petticoat is Important When It Comes to Lolita Fashion?“, you may have sufficient knowledge of Lolita petticoat. However, some Lolita girls especially for those Lolita fashion beginners still cannot figure out the difference between A-line petticoat and bell-shaped petticoat. Through this article, I’d like to help you know the difference between a-line petticoat and bell-shaped petticoat and I hope it will be useful to you ^_^.

 

What Bell-shaped Petticoat Looks Like?

As you can see, it has a very round shape, starting at the waist and ballooning the whole way down until it reaches the widest part at the bottom. As the name would suggest, it is similar to the shape of a bell in that it is rounded and gets wider as it goes toward the bottom

 

What A-line Petticoat Looks Like?

Like a bell-shaped petticoat, the A-line petticoat starts at the waist and has the widest point at the bottom, but instead of being round, it has fairly straight lines going down as it gets wider much like the shape of an A.

 

Which Style should I Choose for My Lolita Dress?

After reading the above passage, you may think it is so easy to distinguish a-line petticoat and bell-shaped petticoat. However, another question may come out, that is, which style should you choose for your Lolita dress

Actually, you can choose either a-line petticoat or bell-shaped petticoat, it’s totally up to you and not wrong at all. However, you may have no idea on which style you should choose just because you don’t know how they will look like in Lolita dresses, right? OK, the below passage will show you examples on how a-line petticoat and bell-shaped petticoat will look like when they are in Lolita dresses:

  2. Hi there! My name is Averie and I run the tumblr blog Lolita Tips. It was brought to my attention that a lot of the information on this page as well as the page “Why Petticoat is Important When It Comes to Lolita Fashion?” and possibly others has text that is taken word-for-word from the FAQ on my blog, as well as images that were edited by myself. Now I certainly don’t mind these things being quoted, I am actually quite flattered, however, I would very much appreciate it if you were to make it clear that you are quoting my blog and that these words are not your own. Thank you for your time.
