/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don't wear it but can dump the photos I have.
In general I would avoid using pastels or relying on peignors, since they're overused and end up looking a bit too fairy like in most western coords. Layer and use fabrics with varying thicknesses/textures, not just a bunch of airy, flowy fabrics like chiffon. I think flannel works well, and quilted jackets/bags are always a nice touch.
Moreover, I think one of the issues with western coords are the accessories. A lot of Japanese cpk looks incorporate something kind of creepy, weird, or religious whereas many western coords stick to the basic "cute" accessories.

Mori should have more of a foresty feel, whereas cpk is a softer, sort of "bedroom" feel. The two share a similar aesthetic w/r/t layering, incorporating a lot of light fabric, and handmade pieces, but mori should look less done up and more earthy, imo. For example, you shouldn't wear makeup like this with mori, and those shoes wouldn't be good, either.
