/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Can we have discussion about replicas? I'm looking to buy a replica of AP's British Crown. I wonder if anyone has thoughts about it.

I consider myself an alt-replica and support lolitas who can't afford replicas.

Who here considers someone less of a lolita for being replica-chan? What about a Bodyline-chan?

In my eyes being a Bodyline-chan only makes you less of a lolita if your ability to wear the fashion isn't completely reliant on buying super cheap shit. If you have enough money to buy higher quality, but don't want to spend it, clearly you're not very dedicated.

As for replica-chans, there is no excuse and I don't consider them lolitas at all.

Also, to clarify- I'm not talking about people who have a little bit of Bodyline for main pieces or a replica still in their closet from their early days, that they still wear sometimes. I'm talking about people where Bodyline is the majority of what they wear, or they own multiple print replicas proudly.
