/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

What are some pieces you consider to be ita staples? It doesn’t necessarily have to be an ugly piece, or one that is never coordinated well, but it has an unfortunate association with newbie failures or is difficult to coordinate well.

I think clock dress is an obvious candidate. Cheap and easily sourced, sizing that goes pretty high, and a vaguely steampunk design. Pic related is someone actually doing it some justice, but I don’t think it can escape the black hole of ita-dom.
