You're doing it wrong!!!

[vulgar-bunnies.livejournal.com]

So, what if you're hosting a panel at a con, giving fashion tips, going over fashion no-no's and all o' that good stuff, and there are a few girls who are obviously doing it wrong? Do you ever tell them that their outfit isn't right?

Or what if.....

you always go to your local meet-ups, take pictures, and even post those pics to EGL, but there are a few new girls who show up wearing horrendous ita outfits? Would you ever give them advise to improve their loli-ness, or just stay silent not to hurt their feelings? And what about if you want to post those pictures to d_l or EGL? Would you not include them in your post, to save them from being mocked by others?

Speaking from personal experience, my first dress wasn't necessarily the best outfit out there. But I wore it everywhere--cons, meet-ups, et cetera. Nobody told me that my dress looked like cosplay, and when I finally found that out, I was so embarrassed by it! I wished someone at the lolita panels I had gone to would have told me this, before I showed up to meets in it.

Basically, would you tell an ita that she's an ita? I'm not sure if this is appropriate here, if not, tell me and I can delete this, or if mods get to it first, all is well.
