/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Making collages on my phone is a nightmare but you get the gist hopefully.

>dresses with a style/construction/ detailing that makes them feel truly unique from other dresses, a dress isn't as exciting to me if it's got the exact same cut and details as 10 other releases
>dresses with additional removable accessories, Aprons, brooches collars, jabots and yokes
> custom lace, heart shaped cotton lace on solid dresses
> tiered skirts, bustles, additional frills and layers
> dresses that move and sway gracefully with a large petticoat as you walk
>volume, lots of volume
>velveteen dresses
>plaid/tartan dresses with white lace details
>screen printed details, applique designs, fur trims on collars and hems, textured fabrics, military/Napoleon style details on the fronts of the dress
> shoes with a platform big or small, heel and straps along with extra details
> 'novelty' and plush bags in various shapes (stars, hearts, animals, berries, chocolate ect)
> lace head dresses, quality mini hats and animal ear details, head bows with small charms and bows added
>looking at a dress and feeling like it's the first time you saw it every time you look at it, also noticing a new detail every now and again.
> otks with lace tops, tights with some details, patterned otks
>bloomers with plenty of frill, slightly peeking ones are so cute
>blouses and hoods with extra details, lots of bows, pearls and animal ears

I feel like with dresses I love they evoke a certain emotion in me when I see/ wear them. It's hard to describe but it's like a feeling of nostalgia mixed with a sense of calm and strength along with confidence. Even if I'm just going for a day out to shop I'll have a feeling that I'm going on an adventure where anything could happen, and I feel unstoppable.
I love my shoes and accessories to feel impossibly cute.
I love both printed and solid dresses pretty much equally, but personally it's always the details and construction that makes or breaks a dress I love.
