/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I want to get L066, but not for wearing with Lolita. I want it for casual wear, something storybook inspired and outdated looking, maybe slightly on the mori side?

I can't get it in red because my skin looks terrible with red, and pink would be too cute for the look I want, so I'd have to get the blue. I'd remove the awkward ruffles that sit above the strip of lace that runs along the bottom of the dress, and replace the buttons to metal or plain black if the ones it comes with give me problems. I'd probably wear with bloomers for modesty and the little volume they provide, but probably no petticoat, because I don't have a petticoat with casual poof and don't think poof would fit the image I'm trying to go for.

Would this work? Does the color work, will it achieve the look I am trying to go for?
