I can’t help much with verum tights, but you can find a lot of printed tights with similar themes around storenvy and some other indie shops. Ophanim has a lot of really nice printed tights.

There’s just something about those socks that I don’t particularly like. I guess they just look too casual in my opinion. The hem of the dress isn’t anything special or exciting and neither is the top of the socks so I would want to use either tights or socks that have a prettier top to them for a more elegant and finished look. If you wanted to stay simple, these tights would be a perfect alternative. You could also do something with music notes instead of clocks which I think is something people often overlook in the print. Or you could just to plain black or plain white knee socks with lace tops and include the themes of the print in other accessories rather than in the socks.

I want to say a blonde wig just because I think it would be a lot to put a lavender headbow on a lavender wig. I feel like the blonde wig would break it up better. I would then do pink tights or socks and lavender shoes, maybe with pink or white bows clipped to them for a little added touch of cute, but I wouldn’t say that’s necessary.

First off, thank you! I’m happy to help.
As for the tights, Ophanim has these Alice tights which I think are really cute. They aren’t exactly what it sounds like you were looking for, but it does go with the theme so I thought they were worth mentioning. Another option I thought of were these from Teja Jamilla which are a bit more simple than the others. It seems to be a bit easier to find printed tights with the prints on the sides rather than the front, the only things I’m finding within the theme where the print is on the sides are tattoo tights and I don’t think that’s really the look you’re going for either.

The way I would personally wear them is to make the accessories the main attraction. So maybe you could do a solid pink or mint OP, something without a print, and then go OTT with accessories that match the print of the tights. Things with bears and lollipops and candy poles. The way I see it in my head is with a pink wig, a mint OP, the mint tights, pink tea party shoes, and then use the inverse color for the accessories. Put mint hair accessories on the pink wig, add a pink brooch or a pink bow to the mint dress, etc. Just make sure all the accessories serve a purpose and work together or you’ll run the risk of looking like you’re trying for a decora look rather than Lolita.

No, I think that would actually look kind of silly considering it’s obvious that you’re wearing tights.

Really? I have never heard that before and I did some checking up on google to make sure. I cannot even fathom why a company would put latex in tights without labeling it as such considering how common the allergy is. If KG doesn’t know, I think they should definitely look into it and consider changing the company they get their tights from.

That really shouldn’t be a big problem at all as most tights are made from either spandex or nylon. Latex tends to be used more often in rubbery things like gloves rather than fabric so it seems odd that their tights would have latex in them. Perhaps that isn’t actually the problem? I would try contacting Kawaii Goods and asking what material is used to make their tights and ask if they know of anyone else having this problem. It could just be that they need to be washed before being worn.

Blue and gold diamond tights or socks would be perfect. If you wanted something more simple you could just do navy or gold or even red would look nice, maybe with a simple pattern like music notes.
