/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Definitely a couple of misses.

First, the blouse was made to go specifically with another Sweet Dreamer jsk that had earthy tones with white pearls on it, that's why it has stark white bows on a cream beige blouse. On your ivory skirt those white bows are going to look like a mistake, plus I'm not really sure ivory even goes with the cream beige colour Sweet Dreamer used for the blouse.

Second, you can't just tie a ribbon on a fully shirred skirt and expect it to stay put. If you're not taking apart the skirt and stitching a fixed waistband to it, the ribbon will be anywhere except directly over the shirring where you intend it to be.

Third, the crown has been bashed many times in the taobao thread. It's apparently a cheap plastic air freshener that the shop repurposed and apparently looks like cheap plastic irl.

If you have your heart set on hime with hime sleeves, what I'd suggest is a bustier like this one. The bottom will cover the shirred waistband nicely. Then you can go nuts with all the chiffon or lace hime-sleeve blouses instead of being stuck searching for something opaque.

For crowns, if you don't want burando, I'd try the bridal shops. There's a lot of cheap junk mixed in, but some shops also carry a lot of pretty metal crowns that would look better than a plastic air freshener.

for legwear, you could just do ivory lace tights. The shoes are a good idea at least.
