What do you mean our Rococo Loki gown isn't "accurate"?? 😱🐍
When DIYing your own design like this, always remember that cosplay is not the same thing as a historical recreation! You're free to choose the shape and construction you like, even if it's not "accurate" - it's just a costume! In Loki's case, we smashed together lots of different 18th century elements, from the robe a la francaise corset and hoops, to the Italian Gown / Anglaise bodice, to the very unrealistic en retrousse bustled train. While accuracy isn't important, research is - we always recommend learning first about traditional methods and shapes. Having that knowledge will help you understand what elements you want to use, and where you can break the rules!
