How to tie a waist bow! step-by-step on my blog

Some non lolitas need to learn to stfu when it comes to what is and isn't part of the fashion.
Lately I've seen an increase of publications about cutezy taobao brands fashion shows posted on Instagram and tiktok. Some fashion/resellers accounts sometimes wrongfully label it "lolita".
Obviously, some taobao brands make amazing clothing that perfectly fits the fashion, but others just make very cute pieces that aren't meant for lolita, and don't label it as such (or sometimes they do, but it's only for visibility, and honestly I don't mind it, fashion enthusiasts should do their own research and look for credible sources on what the fashion looks like, not blindly trust brands).
And every time, if someone says something along the lines of "this is very cute but not lolita" to try to stop the spread of misinformation on one of these fashion show reposts, it will result in a shitshow.
I've seen some people go about fighting mutuals who have more than a decade of wearing lolita on what the fashion looks like. When you take a look at these people's profiles, you quickly realize they have NEVER worn the fashion.
Lolita is more open that it ever was. Anyone interested in it can find so many resources on how to wear it, the bigger problem is now the selection of reliable sources in a sea of information. Also the fashion has become much more open about what is acceptable. Wearing no blouse in summer, showing knees, rachel lace, clashing textures in some contexts (old school), it used to be frowned upon but isn't anymore. I'm tired of the whole "boooo lolitas are mean elitists because they don't think my genshin impact inspired outfit with a miniskirt is lolita" that's going on on some platforms.
Lolita has a specific look to it, a silhouette, a history. Sure it can change, evolve, new trends can start within it, but it's not up to the non wearers to decide what this look is.
Please, If you are any type of Kink blog, do not interact/reblog my posts. It makes me so uncomfortable. I will be blocking without notice.
Finally i got to Misako's book and as my first project i chose the strawberry pouch. Turned out quite nice!
