Help!
Guys. GUYS! Fanplusfriend is having a EGL/EGA design contest! Well, a series of them, even! So, I need your opinion! This month, the design is for a casual lolita (or wa/qui lolita, but I'm not designing for that) and I *reallyreally* want a cooking lolita outfit. So, here's my sketch (click for larger, of course):
Do you think I can submit the sketch on the left? It's definitely my favorite, but it's more of a working lolita than a casual one. But I LOVE it. (And, unfortunately, they don't have a "corporate" lolita category.) Do I borrow too much from this cook's jacket? (really, the only thing I took from it was the cupcakes down the front. A cook's jacket is a cook's jacket is a cook's jacket. Although there will probably be pink involved) Should I use strawberries or teacups instead of cupcakes? halogencat, I did steal the bow on the neck from your design, is that ok?
Or should I go with the more casual cook sketch on the right? It's much rougher, as I just threw that in when I wasn't sure whether the first one would work.
I have until next week to finish this up (oh, there'll be a better drawing and possible fabric samples and other fun!), but I'd love your input!
