A group of Lolitas in the general LA area
International Lolita Day, often abbreviated to ILD, is a day set aside for meet-ups around the world. It is a celebration of Lolita fashion where Lolita wearers will congregate bi-annually every year, on the first Saturday of June and the first Saturday of December.
Its inception as "Lolita Day" was first coined on the EGL Community on LiveJournal. Since then, International Lolita Day has since gained traction worldwide, with many Lolitas from other countries gathering in major cities.
Lolitas from temperate countries may dress up in outfits suited for summer or winter, depending on the time of year.
Lolitas who are not part of a local group may set aside this day to get dressed up despite not meeting any other Lolitas, and may plan something special to do by themselves.
