/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Pic related was my first dress, I was so fucking excited when it arrived.
I tried my best to do some research beforehand but obviously my first coord was still pretty garbage with stuff I thought would work for lolita just because I didn't know any better. Shoehorning in black and a normie belt and everything.
I'm happy that my first ever dress was sturdy cotton, though. It made me mindful of good fabric from the start, and nowadays I can make lots of coords with it even if it's not 100% my style anymore.

I hope you're still there anon. 100cm is a large bust size but by no means too big to look good in lolita. There's always the obvious solution of skirts, but if you don't like those you don't have to resort to them. You could look into shirred Meta pieces and even some specific Innocent World cut. I own pic related and it could easily go up to a bust of 110cm, whereas it can fit any waist size because of the shirring. If you find that your dresses hit you too high on the waist because of your bust pulling them up, it's a good idea to lengthen the straps in case they are adjustable. You don't need much sewing skill and it makes the fit look a lot better. Definitely try to stay away from high-waisted cuts in any case.

When it comes to blouses you can always go for custom-sized taobao or indie brand, but Japanese brand is going to either not fit or have a gap between the buttons on the bust. I've found cutsews to be a great solution and a comfy addition to my wardrobe. Especially long-sleeved lacy sweater-like cutsews are great to wear under jsks.
