No Coord Help Thread? Let's fix that!

I was able to purchase my MMM dream dress thanks to /cgl/ and working hard on creating a nice coord.
However, this is my first time wearing white EGL and Id really appreciate some feedback.

I bought this dress (my first) a while ago and I'm not too sure what to do with it. I went to a meet up with a white blouse and tights, black shoes and the matching headbow. It wasn't that good in my eyes, but I don't really know what to do with it. I was thinking maybe blue tights or maybe even pink. Thoughts?

pick one or two accent colors from the print and really bring those out. I'd say either the bright blue or pink, mainly because the green would be an eyesore.

Are you matching the blouse to the off-white on the print or the ruffles? Also have you considered a blouse in any of the other colours on the print?

So many coats screaming to be worn with boots ! But I wanted to do something not aristocrat (and I love these tights also).
Which brands should I look for to find some better-matching coat ?

I think it might look better matching the ivory on the print? I've not really seen it done well imo with stark white sleeves. And I hadn't thought of that because there are so many other colors that i think it may be harder to match. Did you have a suggestion for me colour wise?

Agreeing with >>8659795, except for the red bag, as there's no red in the print. How you want to coord this depends on whether you're trying to be a cute witch or a more evil looking one. If you want to still look cute, you could get horizontally striped tights from We Love Colors and match them with a blouse in the pink or purple that's in the print. Or you could do a white blouse with white ankle socks and the same black mary janes. If you want spoopy you could do the black blouse with more mature tights. It might be good to add a pendant or brooch in the coppery color that's on the border and pentagrams. There's a lot of fun ways to coord the Occult dress, and the impression you make is going to be largely dependent on the colors you choose to emphasize in the print.

I love this so far but idk about that blouse. It seems like it was designed with skirts in mind. I think the open neckline with regular jsk straps might look odd. Plus you'll either have to cram the ruffle tails on the front their under the jsk bodice, or have them awkwardly hanging over the ribbon on the front. I think your headpiece is perfect and I would go with red shoes, though a brown darker than the ones you have there now would look good too. What's your plan for legwear? Ankle or knee socks would look better with that busy print imo but I'm sure there are simpler printed tights that would look good too.

1. Should I return these ugly ass shoes? They actually look OK with the OTKs because of the thick sole. I'm having trouble finding cute Mary Jane's in US 8 and so I settled for these

2. Should I add a nice piece of white lace or white grosgrain onto these awful wrist cuffs (shirred right over the elastic band)? They look horribly cheap in person, it might be a waste of my nice lace

It's a solid first coord, anon!
I think the choker might look a bit out of place with the neckline of that blouse, but I love the headpiece and the ring you chose. Maybe try a necklace with a blue rose pendant that will sit somewhere on the black part of the bodice? Not anything so long that it would get lost on the print, but not so short that it looks goofy with the PP collar.
As far as the legwear goes, I usually try to match my socks or tights with my blouse but I also avoid solid-colored legwear too when other options are available, so this is completely personal taste but I would go with some tights that havea subtle lacy pattern or a rose vine up the side or something. If it were me, I'd do the black tights and white boots if you go with a black blouse, an vice-versa if you do a white blouse. Good luck anon!

Sorry, I forgot to add:
Either wig looks nice so maybe go with whichever one complements your face better. The long wig looks like it has some more color depth which might photograph more nicely/not look so much like a costume wig since the color is unnatural. You could probably even get away with a really light grey wig if you wanted to!
I would probably do a white bag with silver or brass hardware if you're going to do the white wig and boots, try finding something like a boston bag that has a couple of bows on it? I Know Baby has several like that and they're all cute/well-suited for this coord imo.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the feedback! I do have a few other necklaces in mind so I'll re-visualize which one would suit best. I may end up ordering the blouse in both white and black (since I just love how it looks) and deciding on the shoes after. I will definitely look into other options for the tights
I have a few wigs of similar style to both so I'll take some time and figure out what looks better with my face, and thank you for the bag suggestion!

This is my first gothic-ish coord and I'm not sure what to do for headwear or shoes. I'm going to be wearing a long black wig (Lockshop's Slyph), so I can style that to work with any head piece.

Headpiece and jewelry should have a motif similar to the print. Try etsy maybe

Hello Anons. This is my second cord and first time posting (Pieces tagged with a heart means I have it ordered) and I'd love some help/concrit.

The dress has cats on the print, among the books so I'm torn between going with a cat theme on the accessories or a book/script theme.
(Both are surprisingly hard to find, I'd like them in a copper/bronze tone since I think Silver would clash).
The shoes and bag are both available in other brown tones, if that'd be better.
Thank you~

Sort of a last minute coord I want to put together. I lucked out and found the little dipper blouse at a thrift store today, I'm thinking something angel related but I'm really stuck on accessories to really bring it to life. All items are in white. I was thinking maybe adding a bit of gold trim to the dress and a bit of gold on the ends of the feathers for the wings to match. Either that or I was thinking just a typical princess outfit, crown and maybe a scepter. Does anyone have any advice?

I like the angel idea since the princess thing is done so often. Instead of a halo, could you do a gold headband of some sort? Something round and gold reminiscent of a halo would be good. If you can find tights with crosses on them, or make wrist cuffs with cross pendants with a matching necklace, that would be good too.

Hope you like walls of text.

You're pushing to coord this with taupe and gold when there isn't really much of either in the print. There also isn't any black, so I'm not confident about the tights matching either. I would go for a brown purse instead. You'll want to choose the top blouse rather than the bottom, as the bottom blouse has a collar lower than that of the jsk so it will look weird with part of your collar either stuffed into your dress or awkwardly hanging out over it. Overall I would go with coording this with brown and pale yellow/cream tones, rather than taupe, beige, nude, or gold.

I disagree with this, anon. She's clearly working the coord around that caplet/dress combo. The bat bag would be too much, but I'd bring it together with the shoes.

I admit, though, that I tend to go over the top with themes.

I can't help but feel I'm way off with this co-ord. A few things I'm unhappy with:

- I'm unsure on the blouse and if I should switch it for a long sleeved blouse, possibly in red or if I should add in a red bolero.
- I'm not convinced on the socks, I may switch them for white textured tights or white lace top OTKS.

Ideas greatly appreciated.

Hello I recently bought pic related in navy but have never had an underbust jsk or dress in this colourway before.

I was thinking of wearing it with a white high collar blouse or a blouse with a small peter-pancollar with a navy bow or jabot. White otks or stockings. Navy oxfords. A navy bowler hat maybe from the taobao shop Haruhi Clover. A white or navy bag and silver or a muted gold,navy or white accesories.

I pretty much have to start at square one so if I could have some feedback or other suggestions. I'd really appreciate it.

Basically chill out with the strawberry motifs on the blouse and socks, especially since the art styles won't match. A plainer white/ ivory blouse and some lace tights would be a much better option. I like the hat and shoes, you could even add some fake strawberries/ flowers to the bag to make it cuter. Other than that just fold accessory though I guess you could incorporate some vintagey strawberry stuff but it's not super necessary.

Boring. I mean it's perfectly acceptable but you can bring in more colours too. You could go beige instead of white, wear brown shoes, bags, or bring in red accents. It's a basic piece.
If you wear a white long sleeved blouse I wouldn't wear plain white tights with it or matchy matchy shoes.

I think the chunky mary janes are nice as well, but rhs are nice especially if you have light hair. Whatever is easier for you to walk in. I'd go for the heart bag over kuma. I'm a fan of plainer black satchels/ box bags though. If the headdress starkly doesn't match you can try a black but it should turn out okay. Or you could try make a darker one (I did that with wine velvet to match my meta op but I end up using a black headdress anyway)
Maybe I'm just taking it in a less sweet route, it looks good so far. Cute socks.
