"Goth" stuff only comes with Gothic Lolita. There are a LOT of different forms of Lolita. Here are the ones our family's involved with: Amai (Amaroria) Lolita (sweet Lolita) is very delicate. Think of the baby-dolls of the 1800s, with china faces and pastel colors, and long ringlets. Himerori Lolita (Princess Lolita) is like Amai, but has lots of roses and delicate veils/headwear or crowns. Gothic (or Goth) Lolita has a couple of sub-types. The one I'm most familiar with is Elegant Gothic Lolita. Elegant Gothic Lolita wears outfits based on the long, flowing, corseted dresses of the 17th and 18th centuries. The skirts are shorter versions of the bustle-skirts, and are often worn with corsets and shirtwaists. They even have their own music - Visual Kei (groups like Malice Mizer) and Dir en Gray. There are a million different paths to wander off onto from Lolita. One of our family members wandered off the Elegant Gothic Lolita track and entered a track referred to as VictoriIndustridal (Google Emilie Autumn or Adastrah for a glimpse of this style).
