/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

It has measurements roughly similar to the MCD jsk, but more ease in the waist (about 8cm).

Though MCD has a shorter bodice and shorter non-adjustable straps. I found a few pics through google that illustrate how it fits on different sizes. I wasn't looking for good coords, just a variety of body types.

So my conclusion is that if you are pretty plus sized, you're still going to get boobloaf.

If you are very, very, unhealthily thin, it's going to be a sack on you. If you are thin but not at unhealthy looking levels, it's going to be a bit looser than you may prefer.

In both of these cases, making the waist shirring smaller may be an ideal option.

If you're average size (fits more recent unshirred AP to partial shirring fine) it'll probably fit you pretty okay.

The waist is probably the biggest concern, I feel, unless you are quite flat-chested. It's more common in the west for women to have larger cup sizes (we're not talking about horizontal bust measurement). As in a DD or F with a 94cm bust may not be uncommon, whereas in Japan it may be less common. The bodice is still going to be cut for a B-cup and no amount of shirring will change that.

Another thing that might fix the issue is making a higher button hole on the strap, so the bodice doesn't sit as low if you're smaller. All of these are modifications a fairly new person to sewing should be able to do without entirely ruining the piece. But understandably, people will want to take it to be professionally done. I don't imagine those changes would be super expensive. I've done modifications in these areas before and it was pretty quick and easy.
