Assuming it is done well, how short can a skirt be and still be considered Lolita?
No more than a couple inches above the knee

Nothing above mid thigh

As long as it can hold poof, it's ok

I don't think there's any sort of magical loli-guru who gets to decide what is or isn't lolita, but it's really more of a consensus from the community. When there are any cultural changes, from fashion to language, it's usually because it has an influence over the majority in that culture.
My personal belief is that anything more than a few inches above the knee would be considered more ero, but anything above mid thigh should be right out. What do you guys think?
