Anyone else feel like western cpk should just be called something else, seeing as it looks nothing like the original fashion?

What makes them so different? Color scheme? I don't think I've ever really looked at western cpk.

Heri is my personal dolly kei inspiration. Her outfits are just perfect.

The western style has less of a worn and broken doll feeling, is generally cleaner styled and has less layers. Pic related is an example.

I love what I've seen of dolly-kei, but I feel like I've seen the same set of outfits reposted over and over again. How active is the fashion, really?

I feel like dolly kei could be more popular if the fashion was a little easier to put together... I've worn both cult party and dolly kei, and finding pieces appropriate for dolly kei is a lot of work. You've got to comb through antique shops and eBay like it's nobody's business, and it's even harder to find antique item that match. Cult party is cheaper, more accessible, more popular, and generally easier in my experience...
