I thought it was beautiful so I nabbed it from the mil center but I realized I don't know how to bloody use it.

I've never used a draped cloth like this before, so I'm clueless on what goes under it, like, other pieces of clothing to wear in tandem with this shawl. Dress? Blouse? Regular shirt? Fancy top? Simple torso wrap?

The things I tried with it so far just seemed awkward, so I'm kind of at a loss.

TOGA TOGA TOGA!

Sorry, I had to. It would make for some excellent accents but beyond that, I'm not too sure myself.

asdksl I never show up around here so I have no idea if I make sense ?? but here goes a thing

It could come in handy for some themed HAs! I'd so go for a lord or a noble gentleman xD Besides that, if I were looking to incorporate the cloth into a more casual/non themed HA, I know I'd be looking for skin tight clothing c: Because the cloth already adds some remarkable volume to the chest, the easiest/safest way to have it look more harmonious with the rest of the look is by keeping it tight xD Doesn't matter if it's a corset, a dress or a bodysuit, but unfortunately I think there's no way out of experimenting until you find out something that works for you!

I threw random things together just for a loose visual idea of what I'm talking about

Of course, you can play with different textures / some volume on the head area (hair/fancy headpieces!) or bottom area (must be careful tho!), too. You don't even need a bottom piece, technically; maybe just play with stockings and sparkly textures, since the cloth has a bit of sparkle too. It's all up to you! c:

Still, thank you for the toga idea. :3

Ah, I see. I guess I had a lot of trouble because I tend to have baggier tops, haha~ I'll give it another shot, since you're right, the best way is to experiment.

Thank you very much for the visuals and the possibilities explanation! ❤️

Yeah baggy tends to look a little odd... it's not impossible to work, but definitely harder :x

You're welcome! ^_^ I see it working better on themed or slightly festive HAs (given the fabric texture/shine), but I'm addicted to capes and drapes so I keep trying to do new things with them XD
