Grown up lolita?
Yes, I know, I know. But seriously, are there any equivalent choices if you'd like to look more like a grown-up woman? The lolita fashion, to me, is clearly very inspired by the child fashion of ~mid 19th century, while I'd like to get a few tips on a more grown-up style with longer skirts. I'm not too comfortable with skirts ending above the knee, and actually, I'd rather it went down over half my calf.

I really hope I'm not offending anyone with this, I'm just slightly curious, and since everyone here seems very knowledgeable, and I'm way too lazy to google this, halp plizz!

maybe styles with less prints? one solid color?

or maybe just a solid color with a print on the bottom.

I think that Mori fashion may be more down your alley. It's sort of like a mix of lolita and bohemian, if you're not familiar with it.

Some classic Lolita brands feature longer length JSKs and dresses with more subtle colors and very nice prints. It's a lot more toned down, but still retains the "Lolita" feel of it. Maybe something that an older girl in that era would wear, as opposed to the frilly frocks of the younger set.

Yes I agree classic lolita is a grown up style !

maybe this thread can be somewhat helpful: http://www.myasianfashion.com/forums/display_topic/id_4830/A-more-grown-up-style/

grown up lolita is normally classic like many girls suggested, if you however feel to old for lolita in general it might be a good idea to leave the petticoat and wear less stuff in you hair and such. Less prints and more solid colors are def great, like neko suggested.
