#l257

Most sales communities allow you to made trade posts so you could do that in a group like Lolita Sales in English for example. You could also just try to sell it there or on Lace Market. Another option though if you really like the dress but you just want something longer would be to get an underskirt. Since the dress already has a ruffled bottom of would be easy to get an underskirt that matches the color and would just make it look like there are more ruffles. If you or anyone you know can sew it would also be easy to just add another ruffle or two.

I think you could go in a bit of a Classic or Gothic direction if you were to accessorize it in such a way but the overall design of the dress is very Sweet so I don’t really think there’s any getting around that. It would pretty much always be a Sweet/Classic or Sweet/Gothic hybrid coord. 

I would definitely not do l257 because I feel the two different sets of polkadots would be really busy. Of the remaining options I think I would say L489 is probably my favorite. The others have a lot of different layers of details and while 489 does have some detail, it comes more from simple ruffles without the extra lace and stuff. There’s a sort of simplicity to it that I think would make it work best with the cape.

Coord worn for the night time of ILD, I got changed before we went out so I wouldn't spill drinks on my burnado. I’m genuinely surprised with the quality of Bodyline’s l257, its beautiful! OP/Shoes/Bow: Bodyline OTKs: Meta Wristcuffs: AP
