❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What size petticoat do I need for a Hime dress?
Hime dresses look best with a full, dramatic petticoat. We recommend a 3-4 layer petticoat with 60-65cm length for maximum volume. Browse our petticoat collection for the perfect match.
Are Hime dresses suitable for plus-size wearers?
Absolutely! We offer Hime styles in extended sizes, and our ALTER service can customize any dress to your measurements. Check our Plus Size Lolita Fashion collection for ready-to-wear options.
How do I care for my Hime Princess dress?
Due to delicate fabrics and embellishments, we recommend dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cold water. Store hanging in a garment bag away from direct sunlight. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
Can I wear Hime Lolita to a wedding?
Yes! Hime Lolita in elegant colors (champagne, ivory, soft pastels) is perfect for weddings. Avoid pure white unless you're the bride, and coordinate with the wedding's formality level.
What's the difference between Hime and Sweet Lolita?
While both are elegant, Hime emphasizes luxury materials, formal silhouettes, and regal aesthetics inspired by European royalty. Sweet Lolita tends toward playful, cute themes with lighter fabrics and more casual styling.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes! We ship worldwide with secure packaging to protect your precious dress. Shipping times vary by location. Duties and taxes may apply based on your country's regulations.
How long does custom ALTER service take?
Custom alterations typically take 1-2 weeks, with most orders completed within 10 days depending on complexity. Rush services may be available - please contact us with your timeline.
Can I return or exchange a Hime dress?
Standard items can be returned within our return window if unworn and in original condition. Custom-made and altered items are final sale. Please review our return policy before purchasing.
What shoes work best with Hime dresses?
Mary Jane shoes, tea party shoes, elegant heeled pumps, or Victorian-style boots all complement Hime aesthetics. Browse our Lolita Shoes collection for coordinating styles.
Are these dresses suitable for everyday wear?
While Hime dresses are more formal than casual Lolita styles, many wearers enjoy them for special outings, meetups, and events. The level of formality depends on the specific dress and how you style it.
