/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Got my package today which included a couple of wigs, one black maxipad headdress and the l310 dress in black. And desu I'm not amazed by the dress. There are a couple of things that caught my eye and leaves me disliking this dress, disregarding the fact that it's not really fitting me anyway.

First, I have to agree with this anon >>9985783.
>I have the original and it looks like shit. I'm 5'9" and while it fits okay, the fabric is much too thick in places (around the collar) and looks more like a costume than a pretty lolita piece. The lace, iirc, is bodylines shitty tulle lace and looks super cheap.

The collar and the bib are also made of thick velveteen, just like the rest of the dress, giving it a kind of awkward look and taking away some of its elegance. Going for a different material here would've been a better choice. The lace on my exemplar didn't feel itchy and wasn't hard, but doesn't exactly seem of very high quality either.

Second thing that I noticed was the white areas mentioned before aren't 100% stark white and have a slightly yellowish tinge. Not really noticable in broad daylight, but it sticks out in areas that aren't as well lit (like my room e.g.).

Also as a side note, if you receive this dress, be careful while unpacking it for the first time. The dress will be likely covered in fluffs that will spread all over the floor and stick everywhere. The white parts of the dress had also some of them sticking to it, so you might wanna clean them off before you wear the dress.

All in all, I have to agree with the second half of anon's comment. The dress might not be worst BL has put out, but it's nothing to be sad about if you miss on it. My backup plan would've been using the dress for a costume next year, but considering it doesn't fit me anyway, I'll just throw it back on the market.

AMA, if you want to know more. Posting a few pics too (sorry for bad light).
