/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Warning: I made this image for personal reference and then realized it might be useful. So yeah, it's ugly.

So I'm shopping for underskirts and after making this I thought it could act as a simple template for others trying to figure out how to lengthen the look of their dress. Basically it's as the text says; try to take a clear enough picture of yourself so the measuring tape is readable, then mark as needed (obviously I went with inches) and then mark again based on the measurements of the underskirt. And ta-da; you have a personal visual aid for deciding on which length option to go for. To say the least, I thought I would have needed the longer length, but then realized the shorter version will do the job better.

For reference, I am wearing a classical puppets cupcake petticoat that they sell at their standard 18" length. They have a longer size but it's a little "too classic" for a dress like this at 23" long. Also Candy Sparkle JSK with lace trim is 21 1/2" inches (55 cm) from the waist band to the hem. The trim is 2 inches, or 4 1/2 cm.
