Hello and welcome to the fourth of my silly little rambles that people apparently like to read, only this time it’s a post! I spoke with a few people over on trachat and the consensus seemed to be that making this a full post would be better, so from now on I’ll be posting them here and crossposting to traa.

Jumping right into it, today’s dress is Long Ears and Sharp Ears’ Morning Glory. Unlike the other dresses I’ve covered so far, this one is available as both a OP and a JSK with blouse.

As you can see the JSK is a lot girlier and cutesier, while the OP has a nicer more mature and elegant look. Of the two I’m drawn more towards the white versions OP, but both are really lovely! I think however that the coloured versions of the dress work better as the JSK, particularly this purple version. I’m just personally drawn towards pretty white clothing in general.

I was mainly drawn to this one by the chiffon and tulle fabric, in particular the metallic tulle hexagon pattern that covers the entire dress is really beautiful and adds a nice shine without being overwhelming. The white versions of the dress show it off particularly well I think. It makes the entire dress glow in the sunlight, hence the name, and it is utterly gorgeous when it does.

As has become a theme, I’m also in love with the smaller details too. In particular this collar is gorgeous and I adore all the little bows on the JSK version. The mix of purple, blue, and green that you can see here is really difficult to get right but I think it works quite well here!

I honestly don’t have much else to say about this dress really, it’s a bit simple but I think quite effective and I really like it. I already quite liked LnSEars as a brand for their more elaborate fairy-themed pieces, but this one has shown me that they can do a decent variety of looks and it makes me want to get one of their pieces again. LnSEars are also a good brand for taller women, since you can custom order their dresses to match your sizes for only a slight price increase. ($10 extra for a skirt length increase, $15 for a full resizing)

    I’d love to do something like this but if I dressed this way with my accent I’d just look like I’m cosplaying as a British colonial aristocrat in summer.

      Could always go for a sweet or gothic lolita instead! The emphasised cuteness and gothic elements respectively help to push away from the british aristocratic look.

        This works for teens and twenty-somethings but at thirty+ it starts to look like someone dressing like a child, which is fine if you’re ok with it but not really something you can just go out in outside of specific occasions. I’d like to make it work, while not being british aristocrat, while also not looking like dressing below age. This is kinda complex and difficult for a style that’s probably best described as dressing like a toy doll though.
