/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Ok I have a greentext to share with everyone about the woes of bodyline
>Be me
>18 MtF
>just getting into lolita and I wanted to try the fashion with a shitty quality co-ord before I decide if I want to actually get into it. pic related is the dress.
>make a simple co-ord, white blouse, dress, long teal socks (although sadly they didn't match the hem of the dress), and simple white flats.
>arrives
>try it on
>Look in the mirror, and almost burst into tears
>for the first time in my life I see a girl looking back at me

>Time skip to later that night
>Wanted to try it on again just to see myself again
>maybe also to take some photos to show some of my friends
>put it on
>lean down to pull on socks
>zipper splits
>the corseting on the back wasn't even done up, the pressure wasn't that much
>try for like an hour to fix it in vain
>start bawling in the shower
>why does this bullshit always happen to me

I'm going to try again to fix it tonight, with some heavy duty tools, rather than just zipping and rezipping to try and get it to click right again. But damn be careful with bodyline... don't expect it to be all that well done. Although it may have been my fault because before then it got stuck on some of the fabric beforehand and I may have screwed it up trying to get it out.
