/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

While the Regency and lolita silhouettes are never going to overlap, high-waisted A-line dresses can evoke a similar aesthetic to the Regency fluidity of line in my opinion. Spencer jackets could look gorgeous with high-waisted dresses and skirts, and there are so many possibilities for interesting Regency-inspired sleeves. Pic related could be the beginnings of a Regency-inspired coord - probably best with cream tights and shoes to maintain the illusion of length for the lower portion of the body. Many day dresses for the upper classes in the Regency era were white or off-white, so that could be a good starting point for planning an outfit. That said, I'd love to see an OTT interpretation of Regency evening wear, complete with turban and giant ostrich plumes!
