Cosplay Lolita (コスロリ) is the term used when someone is wearing Lolita while cosplaying. This may mean that they are cosplaying as a character who wears Lolita or Lolita-like fashions, a Lolita version of a character, a heavily themed Lolita outfit, or are simply wearing Lolita for purely cosplay purposes.
The distinction between Lolita and Cosplay Lolita is that while Lolita is intended to be a street fashion, Cosplay Lolita is being worn as a costume.
Features[]
Although this might not always apply, the quality of these clothes tend to be inferior quality, including things like raschel lace or lower quality fabrics. Some lolitas don't consider Cosplay Lolita an actual kind of lolita and put them under the "ita" tag; this has been a source of discussion in several social circles as some people find it demeaning for the ones who take the fashion more seriously.
