/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don't have access to image files atm (phone), but I want to do a Marie Antoinette style coord.
I got the ivory skirt so I want to get a rococo style bodice in ivory, a pink blouse, a Marie Antoinette style wig with the ostrich feathers and flowers in it. I was thinking ivory lace tights over solid pink tights and the Clobba VM boots. Pearl accessories and maybe a lace fan (a nice one) to round it out.

If someone could mock up this description I would love you throughout eternity.

How does it sound? In my mind it seems epic- but either epic awesome or epic fail.

boots in ivory

I wanna see more classic coordinates.

So I don't really like how this turned out but STARS AND PINK AND SWEET AND YA.
Oh well, will try again.

>>6717746
Picture helps

This worked out better in my head...

>>6717778
where is the purple hair ornament from? It is very pretty.

>>6717778
I think it would work with a lighter and less saturated brown.

>>6717778
You tried. But I can't see that happening in any universe. I agree that like...a camel brown or something could work nicely with it though.

I'd love some help with this one, I'm really struggling. Here's mine; >>6716999

>>6717778
Yeah, the wine doesn't go at all. I think a lavender and wine coord would be pretty, just not with this dress.

You should stick to cool colors, I think. Navy might possibly be better for this dress if you wanted a darker color. Or a darker dusty purple.

Also, if you're going to go with a color this dark, I think a bolero or cardigan would be better than the blouse. It would make things look more balanced.

So....I'm indecisive if I like this.
I wanted to do lavender for the jewelry but I can't find the stock pictures right now and I happened to have the white saved so ya.

>>6717858
picture, ya

>>6717862
nice, but I think this coord would look best with the ivory version

>>6717785
>>6717796
yeah, I totally agree. It was a wild whim born of me being sad that there wasn't a wine version of this print.
>>6717802
I absolutely agree about the bolero; my brain was fried and I couldn't find one I liked.
...even though I actually own a wine bolero.
so yeah. the lack of sleep. it's getting to me.

>>6717862
i'm not sure what you're doing here. are you trying to match the purple or the mint? what's the point of a long sleeved blouse with the long sleeved bolero other than making sweat pool?

>>6718010
What do you mean "are you trying to match the purple or the mint?"
If you are implying that the print comes in mint, it does not, I was just adding a 3rd color to the purple colorway?
(well there is mint in the print at the bottom...)
also, I find that short sleeved blouses under bolero's look bad.
And...it is cold some times?

>>6718344
the purple in the skirt + the mint of the blouse. I guess I'm just unused to long sleeves over long sleeves since it rarely gets that cold here, it can also look very bulky. I guess my comment is more along the lines of 'bring the mint down' since it's all on top with the blouse and head bow but not present evenly all over like with the shoes or in the socks.

sorry if i came off as rude, it's just a matter of tastesI guess

This is my first sweet dress ever, please be gentle girls! What do you do with a problem like the black OP? I'd assume it's gauche to do black accessories?

I snagged a sax skirt and sax tights, any ideas? sweet or classic, I can go either way.

>>6720013
Fellow black OP anon here, I just put in a request in the regular coord thread since you posted here.

Just got the Ivory OP and looking to step outside my comfort zone style-wise (I usually lean toward more classical styles). Coord ideas please? A collage or two would be appreciated.

>>6720018
I have a sax jsk coming to me. I wear dark classic, and have lavender in my hair. Totally planning on bringing lavender into my outfit, and getting Royal Kitten tights. This could go either way, guys. Hold me.

>>6720042
*holds her fellow dark classic loli as we both step outside of out comfort zones*

Here's my attempt at sweet classic for ivory skirt anon. It's just the bare bones, but eh, I struggle with classic.

I'd switch out the neck ribbon on the blouse for a pink one.

>>6720042
Don't be scared, it's not going to be as far of a leap as I think you fear. You can do silk flowers and pearls with it, probably? and if you have a white or off white blouse or bolero in your classic closet, it would probably work too.

>>6720068

Oh also, meant to add; I'd pair this with an ivory bonnet with pink and gold flowers and ribbon.

Looking for a coordinate with the lavender plane jsk that does not have lavender shoes.
Preferably with the jsk and tights.

/cgl/ i thought i had made myself a day late for a midterm for this dress

and i didn't

i regretted nothing either way, BUT I DIDN'T

TODAY HAS BEEN LITERALLY FLAWLESS

>>6720080
I have a weird wardrobe. I'll get there, I'll make it through!

>>6720043
BB! <3

>>6720113
This is beautiful. Sage for double post.

What do you all think? White or Cream with the Lavender Tiered JSK? I think the print has white in the stripes, but then there is that creamy yellow down in the print?

>>6720132
It's so hard to tell what's cream and what's white in the print. I'm hoping there's white in it, because white BL shoes are one of the few sweet accessories I have.

>>6720166
The stripes are white in the print samples, and AP put it with a white blouse, so it's got white in lav color way for sure.

>>6720184
Cool cool cool!

AP IS MAKING DDC A MADE-TO-ORDER ITEM!!

>>6720785
WHAT?

>>6720785
SAUCE?!???

It should be on every blog, here's Shinjuku for reference though:
http://yaplog.jp/ap-shinjuku/

>>6720785

Oh God, the scalpers are gonna be *pissed*.

>>6720824
It might just be for Japanese lolitas though.

It's on the Japanese site too. http://www.angelicpretty.com/newarrival/daydream/index.htm

>>6720826

Hm. May get an SS to grab me another piece.

>>6720831
Sounds like a plan to me.

>>6720833

Yeah, I don't want it to resell, I just want more than one colour way; choosing between lavender and ivory was killing me.

Do you know if they'll make the accessories available again, at all? I can't check the links posted in college.

>>6720826
>>6720785
Can't check links on phone but is there a date at all? if it's true it will probably still be some weeks away... Hoping to sell my extra Blargh

>>6720835
it says it will be made to order but doesn't specify if it's just the dress or not, but it did refer to "day dream carnival series"

>>6720847
it says the dates will be announced on the blogs soon.

>>6720848
Well if it's anything like made to order for cats tea party I bet supply will still be limited .. And just think of the shit storm if they make it Japan only

>>6720785
Wait, what does that mean?

Does anyone else find it imposable to log into there contact form?

>>6720853
It will be similar to cats tea party.. No in store items have to order and then they make you one dress. Not sure about accessories

... watch this be a clever ploy by AP to get people off their backs for a bit for the hype to calm down then they will just never do it

>>6720853
that means you order, and it's made

>>6720856
negative nancychan

>>6720857
Rofl! I stayed up with you girls for three days and most of us got what we wanted I DON'T WANT THOSE MOMENTS CHEAPENED!

Well, I asked them to combine shipping on my 2 orders and they said no.
Hopefully that means they have also checked stock and shit by now?

Did anyone else notice the restock on the international site?
I think it's all gone now but I got two more skirts and a Lavender JSK.

So which would you say is the best/most popular colorway fore DDC?

>>6720910
Lavender

>>6720785
>>6720819

You know, I now believe more than ever AP engineered this whole madness and purposely kept supply low. Now watch as lolitas all over Japan start flocking to AP to order one in every colour just because they were emotional that they missed out on the one or two they originally intended to get. Even the lolitas that don't normally buy AP will now have heard about how some shops had 150 people waiting in line for it, or see the crazy prices it's going for secondhand, and then decide to get one.

Well played, AP, well played.

Looks like Choke made tights to match!

>>6720882
The normal lavender jsk?

Ok, I have lavender yarn.
I can crochet.
What can I make that will look nice with the lavender version? I only have the jsk and the tights and own no other lavender things.

>>6721796
Also kinda Photoshopped it together into a creepy doll because ya.

Ok, kind of spent all of my lolita budget for a while on this, so I don't want to buy anything else and tried to put something together with stuff I already own, does this look like ass?

>>6721796
>>6721798
Looks good to me.

>>6721388
Do you want to go sweet, or classic, or...?

I think a knit beret would be cute. You could find deco ponies/pins or star beads to add to it.

>>6721796
I like it. How high are the heels? Tights look good with high heels

>>6721388
bolero

>>6721895
I'm 5'8", pic related to there height, but it is about as high as I am comfortable with.

>>6722225
5"8 did you read where someone mentioned the tights won;t fit 5"7? You may need new socks or to cut the tights somehow

>>6722246
Ya, I cut taobao tights to thigh highs all the time.
But my legs are like sticks so all and all that helps.

>>6722257
oh good, just didn't want you getting them and being disappointed! I'm 5"1 so no issue for me but I think some ap tights would look better as thigh highs. How do they stay up? fashion tape or does the stretch keep them plastered to your skin like a regular sock?

>>6722261
Sock glue is the best invention ever made for anything you want to stick to your body.
Sock dreams has it for like 5 bucks with free shipping too.
Or if it will he too hot or if I plan on changing I just use a grader belt.

>>6722272
cool tip anon, thanks! This also helps with a cosplay I'm doing actually...

>>6722257
How do you keep the cut off part from unravelling? Do you use a particular stitching or hemming method?

>>6722294
Well I am fancy so I have a twin stretch needle and hem it with that with a rolled hem also fray check the end.
But if you don't have a fancy twin stretch needle just do the same thing with a zig-zag, by hand or machine works, just use a stretch needle, they are duller so they don't make holes in the fabric but just push everything aside.
Also fray check everything.

>>6722326
>fray check
jesus christ no stop that

use mod podge instead.

>>6722334
Really? I will have to try that next time

>>6722326
Aah thank you!

>>6722344
Yeah, fray check quite quickly yellows and becomes crusty and gross, it will ruin whatever you put it on. Mod podge will do the job better, longer-lasting, and cheaper without any such effects.

>>6722357
god, what can't mod podge do?
I once used it to make glitter lolita shoes out of a crappy pair of custom house shoes.
Shit is magic, even made them tougher as shoes.

>>6722369
Pretty much nothing! It truly is magic in a bottle.

>>6722369
May I ask if you had a specific technique for this? Or just use the mod podge like glue and mash the glitter on? I have a pair of old scuffed Antaina shoes that I could do this to...

>>6722384
I was impatient so mine are kind of sloppy up close but basically, you mix together mod podge and glitter, then you paint it on the shoe in coats, letting it dry 1-3 hours in between coats.
Use the shiny mod podge not the regular one, and give it a final coat after letting them dry over night with just mod podge and you have glitter shoes.

>>6722409
Thank you! This is wonderful!

>>6722409
my dead an*tai*na shoes might get this treatment, thank you amazing anon

More tights, the parkas and the cutsews are up on international

>>6720958
I must have this bow on my butt.

>>6722409
Does it not crack and peel? That was my problem with putting acrylic paint on shoes...

The angel horse choker and stuff is up now too, as are the purses

>>6720958
Where can I get these!? Choke has another store aside from Lockshop?

>>6725414

She sells them through Lockshop also, her balljoint doll tights are currently listed there.

>>6725414
They are lockshop- just not available yet.

>>6725414
I think she's making samples of it now, I hope it will come in more colors.

>>6720958
Where is everyone suddenly having these printed, because I really want to illustrate myself some tights!
