Layer beneath sheer overskirts for an avant-garde silhouette, or showcase the intricate jacquard and tulle detailing as a standalone piece over structured petticoats. The monochromatic black construction pairs seamlessly with the genre’s signature color palette while the ornamental tulle suggests the romantic, nostalgic undertones of classic Lolita.
