/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

The dress I purchased from yahoo auctions finally came in! I mentioned it in a previous thread and was super excited when I noticed it was featured in the G&L bible 02 from 2001. I can't wait to create some coords with it and go full oldschool on its ass.

It's not a valuable dress (I think it ended up about 40usd including fees, domestic and international shipping) but I get a bit of a kick out of the thought of owning a little piece of lolita fashion history. I was really surprised at how nice the condition was too, there's a minor bit of yellowing in places but the cotton is crisp and fresh and unlike other stuff I've bought from there, doesn't smell like it's spent the last few years partying with a middle-aged Japanese dude at a smoker's den.
