/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Ok, back with photos/comparison and hopefully my little chart will help get across what I'm trying to show.

I tried to focus on capturing the relative weave tightness, roughness, and how the fabric lays. I compared the LP dress to an older dress in a similar style and the other dress with nicer fabric from 2019 that they're also rereleasing. All 3 dresses are made from polyester.

As you can see in the first row, the LP fabric is so thin you can see the top half of the dress right through it. It also has a rougher texture than the other 2, as well. The middle dress is lined, but the 3rd one is not and still has a nicer feel against the skin because it has a very smooth texture. The LP dress isn't completely unwearable or anything, but the difference is absolutely noticeable.

Hopefully the rerelease version uses a slightly nicer fabric, but other than the shorter sleeve and the colorways it doesn't look much different to me.
