May I say something here?
Observing certain customs, or mannerisms as an individual, does not constitute it being a requirement for all other individuals, who are some how related to the first said individual, to adhere to the etiquette.
And on that note, I find it attractive of women who do practice etiquette, and loli and Victorian fashion can be quite elegant. I rather like both, to be honest. Personal opinion, doesn't mean I think that all should do it, or it makes you a better person. To me, it's just like if someone finds tattoos or piercings sexy, doesn't mean they expect (or shouldn't) everyone to pierce and tat themselves.
EDIT: All that said, when you dress a certain way, are you more or less expressing yourself? Therefore, with this innocent (or, well, maybe not the right word)/regal attire, are you not insinuating that this is an outward display of your conduct?
Not that is has to be, by no means, but it is precieved as such by many.
