/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Thoughts? I think these both have their merits.

Dont let your rose tinted glasses cloud your judgement anon. Old school definately had its wacky OTT shit too (pic related). I mean, I even have a furry hot pink leopard skirt with a bustle in the back from meta.
That said, i do miss how subtle the details were such as the focus on the actual construction of the garment withruffles, pintucks and lace. Even things like flocked and other textured fabric was favored over printed fabric it made lolita both more luxurious and wearable at the same time. You could wear a beautiful ott dress without adding 10 pounds of lace and chiffon, an underskirt down to your ankles, and a boat on the top of your biggest fluffiest wig.
