this one.

It seemed to look better in other pictures I've seen people take, and when it was featured in that dog detective show.

I did ask them to use specific fabrics for parts and they did a pretty decent job compared to my original drawing.

Hoping someone can help me out here...
I just got this dress in black (sans the bow in front, it was missing when I bought it), and I'm kind of at a loss to coord it.

I'm thinking of:
red cardigan/bolero with white accents (will likely be handmade)
black socks? or tights.
red shoes??

or

red+white cardigan
red socks/tights? or white??
black rhs

And I still have no idea what to get for the headband/headbow and purse.

Sorry, I'm more used to coording classic and sweet kind of confuses me.

I was looking to get into otome since I can wear it to work and it still will incorporate my lolita wardrobe without breaking dress code. I saw a few dresses on bodyline that I liked. Would it be best to start out with the basic prints there to make simple outfits? Dress in question is this one. I think it's cute.
