Article title: Lolita Fashion
Article Evaluation: The article is B-rated implying that it is moderately developed but has room for improvement. I think there could be more sections to enhance the understanding of Lolitas fashion, such as, a section on styles and style types to add to the definition of Lolita fashion. Given that there were elements missing, I think this article has room for development.
Sources: Some sources cited included Youtube documentaries, Literature from Universities and Academic papers, and even several Magazine and Forum articles.
