/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I hope it's okay to post a little review here, I know some of us were talking about these pants in the last thread.

So I ordered Fan+Friend's "Machine Birdcage Steampunk Lolita Puffy Breeches" and the matching vest. This was my first time ordering from them, and quality wise you obviously get what you pay for. They are made of a sturdy bottom weight material, and I feel like they will hold up well to washing and wearing. Well suited for casual looks due obviously to styling as well as the material. I definitely feel like they were worth the money I paid, and I'm probably going to go ahead and order the ivory set. I saw the brown colorway in person over the weekend and it is definitely not the nice chocolate brown is looks like on my computer screen, so you might want to keep that in mind if you were considering them. I guess I would kind of call it like a dark sepia color?

Sizing is accurate for the waist on both pieces, but the bust size on the vest is WAY off. The size I ordered claims it will fit a 102 cm bust, which is a blatant lie. I couldn't find my measuring tape to get an accurate measurement on my bust, but Lolibrary lists the AatP blouse I'm wearing as being 94 cm in the bust. So be aware of that. I've never ordered from them before, so I'm pretty disgusted with this oversight, but at least it fits.
