egl outfit

[felicity869.livejournal.com]

So I'm in the process of whipping together a little egl outfit to wear to the las vegas comic con this halloween. So I atempted to draw some pictures of it...



the whole outfit


the shirt


the choker


the skirt


and the head piece


***Oh and keep in mind that everything that is blue in those pictures would really be black...


So my first question is should the outfit be in black with a white petticoat with white lace and white ribbon or should it be in black with a light blue petticoat, lace and ribbon?

Second question: knee highs, mary janes, head piece, top, big poofy shirt, petticoat, choker...am I missing anything?

And finially, Do you think it would look cuter/better to have the petticoat intentially sticking out a bit at the bottom or shoudl the skirt definitly completely cover it?

Thanks for your input :)

Don't worry about your drawing, the pics are perfectly informative!

For the final question: I personally love the look of letting petticoat peek from under skirt hem. If you are otherwise really neatly dressed, that little whimsical detail is the perfect finish for your attire.

Hey!
I live in Las Vegas, I'm also going to the con and my friend and I are dressing EGL as well.(except my dress is pink red and white so there's not much of the "g" in that outfit.) We should get together and take pictures. ^^

I like the idea of black and light blue since it's more unique. and I thinkthe petticoat showing a bit really depends on the petticoat.

That would be cool. I'm only going to the ball on friday and the con on saturday though....

I'm going to the ball on Friday and I'll be at the con on Saturday.
I'll be a pink red and white lolita with matching hair made out of yarn at the ball(and at the con that day) and on Saturday my hair will be made out of VHS tape and 35mm film and I'll just be dressed normally (for me).
If you see me, say hello!

It's very cute! ^^ Personally though I think the skirt should have a bit more lace detail, like some pieces going vertically, and some different thicknesses of lace. Like this, for example (http://www.babyssb.co.jp/order/sk/127526.html), but I think that one is a little overkill. Just variation. Also maybe a little lace trim on the collar, or have puff sleeves with lace trim or something.

As for black/light blue.. Well I've never seen that combination but it might be cute! Only thing is it's really hard to find blue lace, and even 100% cotton lace if you wanted to dye it.

Be sure to post pics when it's finished!

you know I never gave much thought to that: finding blue lace...I guess I just niavely thought I could pick some up at the fabric store. hmm..well thank you for your advice and I'll definitly share pictures when I get it finished :)
