Hello once again I am back with more questions this time regarding dresses.
Now you see this dress: http://www.qutieland.com/product.php?id=1037 I have commissioned a local Seamstress to make it for me (Q: why don't I buy the original? A: It's sold out. Q: why don't I buy the replica? A: I really don't like the pink material they have for the collar and cuffs it just seems wrong for the dress Q: Why haven't I linked you to a picture of the original dress or included an image of it here with a cut? A: I couldn't find one and my cutting skills are haphazard at best)
Alright we all on the same page here, not annoyed at me yet? Let's move on. Looking closely at the dress particularily towards the botton you will notice a brown trim that follows the ruffles a close up of the original dress reveals this to be a lovely chocolate brown trim comprised of roses which for the flaming life of me I cannot find anything close too where I live.
I fear my only hope may be brown Ric Rac. I have been trawling through every Lolita fashion blog I can find and most of the archived topics here that are relatable but no one gives a definate answer on whether Ric Rac is good or bad. Some say it cheapens the dress or makes it look childish others say it's acceptable. Do you think on this particular dress and taking it's non conspicuous postition I could get away with it? If I can't are there any alternatives you would reccomend?
Thank you all and if this post is too large and needs to be under a cut please let me know (and provide explicit details on how to do it because I am just God awful at cuts)
