Am I the only one who doesn't like this? the part that is all empty between the skirt and the bolero looks weird, like she's got a very very long torso. Wouldn't it look better with a skirt that sits at her waist line?

No? I have seen twinning with different colors, it just needs to be coordinated properly. Just showing up and finding someone with the same print isnt twinning. Planning it out and looking for matching or contrasting things to go with the dress is.

Those clip ins might be a little too long to achieve the same exact look. I might try one like this instead:

Clip one up high, and the other directly underneath. Then fluff and adjust as needed.

>> No.6625630

>>6625336
Really? I hardly ever see bonnets with gothic; mostly with classic or sweet. Classic bonnets tend to be more low-key, while the big spoon bonnets like she's wearing are more sweet, along with the common half-bonnet. I agree that it's not particularly sweet, but the bonnet does add an element of sweet.

It sort of looks like she parted it, then made loosely braided pigtails and pinned the ends underneath her hat.

I do something similar but I keep my braids tight as I have longer hair and I like the loop it makes.

>> No.6626880

>>6621108
I love this.

>>6621815
Honestly, I think this is close to being awesome. Like, I like the skirt and jacket, I especially like the silhouette of the outfit, I think the shape of the skirt goes well with the jacket, but I think they should trade off for a different type of scarf (maybe a smaller silk/cotton scarf int he same color?), and maybe simpler stockings.

The worst part, though is that she's got way too much going on on top of her head, the wig, the giant butterfly and the hat. Way too much. She's just trying to mix too many styles/elements and it's not working for me.

>>6622146
Is this considered good? I think this looks horrific.

>>6622325
Well... I like the skirt? But really there's not much good I can say about this.

>>6622341
This isn't really my style, but it's not bad. I think she should've brought a little pink into her outfit either upwards or downwards, because it's a little jarring to see black hair, black hat, black jacket, black stockings, black shoes and then this bright pink skirt that only kind of matches everything else.

>>6624175
I'm not sure how I feel about this, but mostly just because I hate plaid.

>>6624180
I think this is adorable.

>>6626709
I'm kind of sitting on the fence with this one. In a technical sense, I don't think it looks bad, but it definitely doesn't suit my tastes.

That cut of skirt is difficult to work with sometimes. I imagine that it would look better pulled up to the natural waist-line and worn with a chiffon blouse (tucked in the skirt). And maybe a cumberbund/belt of some type. Add some solid tights, a long necklace with a bunch of charms at the end or a pearl necklace for a cleaner look, and a pair of low heeled t-strep shoes, and you're good to go.

Dayum. I loved everything until I got to the shoes. I think that those would look better with skinny jeans (with no-show socks), and she should have worn a more feminine pair of brown shoes that didn't have a tongue that was fairly high. Still cute as heck though. I wish I had the money (and now, time) to wear lolita or otome-kei with a New England prep vibe.
