/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'll share my person Babby's first dress story:

>First Lolita dress, pic related.
>I'll look just like Alice in Wonderland, Lolita-style!
>It arrives, even my 14-year-old self knows it looks bad
>Twice as much lace as the product picture, and between the wide collar, the over-puffed sleeves, and the wing-like ruffles on the apron, I looked like I had the shoulders of a linebacker.
>Wore it to a con, no petti, no wig to cover my frizzy, frizzy hair
>Dress is hidden away in my closet for years, end up donating it to the Drama Club at my school, post-graduation
>Didn't start wearing Lolita again until age 18
>have an aversion to any lolita dress with an apron, no matter how well-executed.
