/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I really did not want to get involved with this, but I can't resist a challenge.

Thing is... I don't think this skirt is unsalvageable. Granted, I'm talking about the original Stella Jean piece and not the cheaper-than-cheap knockoff. There was actual craftsmanship and thought put into the original - the zebras are hand-painted and sequined, and the fabric is bridal-quality silk. It's definitely not my style, but I don't think it's objectively bad - but it will never, ever work for lolita or otome, and probably not for any j-fashion. It really only works when it's worn the way it was meant to be; with exquisitely crafted high fashion pieces. This outfit costs 4,135 goddamn dollars. And that's assuming the blouse is on sale.
