Gothic Lolita Skirts, Petticoats and Blouses
Dark In Love makes the foundation layers for a Lolita silhouette, not just the dress on top. Pettiskirts and petticoats add volume under a skirt or dress, and several are finished well enough to wear alone as a mini.
- Lolita Bubble Pettiskirt: soft bubble shape with layered ruffles
- Black Shadow Rose Petticoat: stiff and soft mesh combined for a fuller lift
- White Dolly Frilly Mini Petticoat: doll-style white mini with lace trim
- Lolita Lantern Shorts: black bloomers with three tiers of scalloped lace
- Gothic Lace Bustle Tail Skirt: tiered lace ruffles with a bustle-style back
- White Feather Poem Mini Skirt: layered white mesh with guipure lace trim
- Court-Style Black White Lace Blouse: fitted black bodice with white lace detailing
Punk Skirts, Shorts and Tops
The punk side of the line leans on hardware: metal buckles, D-rings, eyelets, lace-up panels, PU leather and corset-style waists.
- Punk PU Leather Midi Skirt: high waist, double buckles and a front zip
- Punk Red Pleated Plaid Skirt: red plaid pleats with a contrasting black panel
- Night Ban Lace Buckle High-Waist Shorts: cross zipper and symmetrical buckle straps
- Corseted Punk Balloon High-Waist Shorts: corset waist with eyelets and webbing straps over a lantern hem
- Ruptured Lace-Up Corset Style Punk Shirt: lace-up side panels, eyelets and D-rings
- Punk Knitted Top with Mesh Overlay and Shoulder Buckles: fishnet mesh upper on a stretch knit base
Gothic Dresses and Accessories
A dress is the easiest way to build a complete look around one piece, whether it's for Halloween, a goth night out or everyday wear.
- Little Devil Tail Shirt Dress: black shirt dress with red-accented ruffles and a high collar
- Christmas Plaid Layered Cake Dress: red and black plaid with a lace-trimmed ruched bust
- Goth Wednesday Black and White Dress: black dress with crisp white accents
- Horn Embroidery Coffin Bag: black velvet coffin-shaped bag with silver horn embroidery
How to Style Dark In Love
Start with the base layer. A petticoat under the Cake Dress or the Bustle Tail Skirt gives you the full, bell-shaped silhouette that defines Lolita fashion, and the Lantern Shorts underneath keep you covered when the skirt moves. For a harder edge, pair the PU Leather Midi Skirt or Night Ban shorts with the Mesh Overlay Top, then finish with the Coffin Bag, fishnet tights and platform boots. Want to push it further toward fetish wear? Layer a corset, body harness or collar from our Fashion collection over any Dark In Love dress or blouse.

What is a Lolita petticoat or pettiskirt used for?
A petticoat or pettiskirt is worn under a skirt or dress to add volume and create the full, rounded silhouette typical of Lolita fashion.

Some, like the White Dolly Frilly Mini Petticoat, are trimmed to be worn on their own as a mini skirt.
