/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I - I'd really like some help. I've ordered my first lolita dress in years (I was a young ita before, got shut down hard) and I would really like some petti advice. Someone was talking about rectangle dress cuts or something odd like that and not being able to wear a-line pettis with them?

I have an a-line petti that needs to have one layer re-stitched, and I'm wondering if it would be the right petti for this JSK? I still need to order a blouse, shoes etc and I need to order a white petti anyway, but I don't want to fuck up my first proper coord. Any advice and tips would be helpful!

Also given that this JSK is so bottom-heavy in its print, would it be best to wear solid black tights and wine red/that gorgeous coppery gold colour shoes?

New loli here... on the topic of petticoats, what would be the best one to order for this JSK?
