/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm early 20s, slim, most experiences from medium-sized cities with lots of students but some really poor areas, some from tourist traps. These are mostly things that have happened outside of meets.

>lots of attention, lots of compliments
classy all-over prints like IW's Georges Rose, AP's British Crown OP or girlier JM, eye-catching vintage looks
people think you must work for the museum/gallery/teahouse, old ladies saying you look lovely and asking what the event is

>not much attention, some compliments, negatives rare
simple dresses coorded in a old-ladyish or vintage school kind of way with accessories like a cardigan and pearls, or turtleneck and beret
assumptions you're a hipster, occasionally people saying "I wish I had the confidence to dress like you!"

>not much attention, not many compliments, not much negative
gothic, very toned-down/vintage coords without a cute vibe
might get compliments on your vintage outfit from middle-aged women, or other goths giving you the nod

>not much attention, some negative
gothic or classic with "weird" features like a bonnet, simple coords in colours associated with a character like sax blue
attracts Bo Peep/Alice jokes, people assume you're a typical student out in fancy dress for a pub crawl or w/e

>lots of attention, mixed compliments and negative
stereotypically lolita coords like big poof oldschool blackxwhite or a brightly-coloured 2010 AP print
attracts weebs and questions about Harajuku, older people assume it's some new trend the kids are wearing these days, teens know it's not trendy so mock you viciously if you look their age
