Here are some similar tutorials to help you make this one!
But I'd definitely say you are on the right track!! Keep going! :3
Also, add embellishments! a string of pearls, more lace, flowers - anything you want I guess. You should look up lolita styles on the net or in the gothic loli bible.
The color's pretty nice though, pair it with a white/cream ruffle-y top and you're on your way to sweet lolita-ness.
Agh, sorry I'm saying a lot. @___@ But I looked at the picture again and thought you can make them bloomers instead.
My advice: never use satin for a loli project, as satin tends to carry more of a "lingerie" quality than is really desirable for a very modest fashion. A cute cotton print or a solid pastel with some good quality lace trim would be better.
Also, I think you might be happier with a wider, more circular skirt pattern. Bell skirts are not in fashion other than in lolita, so those are hard to find a pattern, but if you try the egl or sew_loli communities on Livejournal, you might find a skirt that would be not too hard to sew (plus you can fit petticoats under them).
I think your color choice was good, though, (pastels are good for beginning lolis, as opposed to black and white, which looks very maid-y) and your ruffles, as Dorine said, are well done, so you haven't got so very far to go. Keep trying! :3

On the plus side the ruffles look very well made
