>>9407612 --- Oh I agree that it can be done (and should) --- But the rebuff almost instantly is "Not the right shape!" if its a more relaxed poof or length. We see it on COF constantly... Biggest example right now is all the pics from OV. Everyone's like this is or isn't Lolita because its sticking to the "standard" of poof and length from the 2000s--not what we've seen the in the trending styles over the last 5 years. In 30 years it'll start going back the other way, and we'll be sitting on there going "I remember when Live Journal was where everyone sold their stuff. Now we have teleporters and you dont even have to wait for it to ship!!"

Old School had almost no poof, grew into massive poof, and now were moving back.

I think when we examine current fashion that is trying to be combined with historical attributes we should look for the overall aesthetic of both styles to say whether it is or not "IT", and be a little more forgiving over the hard and fast rules we've come to use as our standard.

(Pic...sort of related. I wanted to share the detailing on those sleeves.)
