Elegant Gothic Lolita is a fusion of Victorian styles and babydoll elements. Or you might think of it as a French maid accented with clubwear. The look is primarily black, but there are also variations in a few pastels (pink, blue) or white. Bows, aprons, lace, ruffles and petticoats all give the look it's layered and soft edge.

It's not "gothic" like the variations found in the US and Europe when you usually think of goths in those areas. This overlaps with cosplay and anime, with a Japanese speed metal soundtrack.

Gothic Lolita: The Primer - Article - Stylus Magazine
Gothic Lolita is a uniquely Japanese style of dress. Inspired by the gaudy drag costumes of Visual Kei heroes, it is now growing rapidly in popularity around the world. Although it's difficult to describe, it's a combination of 18th- and 19th-century Western (especially French) designs with Victorian, gothic, and even bondage-esque themes. Think ruffles, petticoats, maryjanes, and bizarre, cute little caps and hats. Oh, and a hell of a lot of crucifixes.
