Longtime lurker here; I don't own a hell of a lot of lolita clothing, but I love looking at the pictures. Now I'm about to go to Japan for my honeymoon, and will be stopping in Harajuku!
For someone into gothic lolita (and especially aristocrat) looks, what are some places I should make sure to shop at (even if it's just window-shopping?)
you didn't need to make your own thread for this. We have a lolita general for a reason.

For window-shopping go to Laforet, for actual shopping go to Closet Child (there are several in Tokyo). If you like the aristocrat aesthetic you may want to visit Swallowtail and Vampire Cafe. Here's a good thread from the archives that covers the basics:
