For the top, you can wear a frilly blouse. Most Lolita styles include a blouse with puffy sleeves and ruffles. The sleeves can be long or short, but for a traditional approach, they should cover the shoulder. The most traditional blouses also have a button front and rounded collars with bow embellishments.

Other than the basics, you can take the petticoats and bloomers into consideration. The petticoats and bloomers are often used and will add a very noticeable touch to your lolita look.
