kids are allowed an ita phase, anon. if they could make good choices they wouldn't be children.

there's poor choices and there's this.
What are your must haves for con going?
Mine looks something like pic related, post photos of what you like to carry and what its use is.
I am going to my first convention so I am getting all my stuff ready. I tend to go to video game and art events but nothing as massive as this. Pic related will be pretty much what I will bring since I know my friends will bring nothing at all and I will be the first aid kit person with everything on hand.
>>8829084
>hello kitty first aid kit
Aww
>kotex
Kek i thought of our ol' kotex (KotaKoti)
>>8829084
OP here, I have the same first aid kit, forgot to put it in my pic! DS is a good addition.

Do post suggestions on what the next thread image should be.
Is Corky-Lunn's guide in the right place here, or should it be placed in one of the other sheets? I get the feeling people might not find it then.
>>8826753
Not quite sure if I understand your question you think it should be attached to one of the spreadsheets???
>>8826782
Yeah, sorry, that was worded a bit vague. Should the link be in the OP, or should it instead be inside one of the spreadsheets, is what I meant. It could be in the Taobao/Alibaba spreadsheet, but I guess it's OK like this, because it's the easiest way to find it. It'll prevent most of the basic questions.
Let's get comfy today /cgl/
tell us about what make you feel comfy, try to keep it /cgl/ related.

choosing what wigs to display on my wig heads when cleaning my room
doing a long image dump and having an anon call me a hero or the best, etc.
>>8821518
Don't they get dusty, anon? I wanna display mine but I don't want to wash them all the time.

That coord is so damn adorable.
I feel lost on a couple things with this coord. I'm not sure what kind of bag would look good and what color to make my accessories. I have a rough idea, pic related.
I'm planning a Kuro Coord!
The hat on the image is on its way to my home, so I can't show it yet.
I plan to adorn it with ostrich feathers :)
I think it's a bit plain though. any tips for making it more interesting or you think it's fine that way?
>>8791535
I'd go with the IW bag and maybe white shoes instead of blue.
New dream cosplay thread. Post characters you would love to cosplay someday.
> Tfw you're not nearly masculine enough to not look like a girl in something like this.
>>8764323
>>8764345
Anon please cosplay Johnny/Karyl! There aren't enough Destiny cosplayers is the world. If you're worried about not being masculine enough you could go for Conway from Innocence (pic related) if you really want to be someone from Tales.
Accessories and jewelry from indie brands. Favorite places to shop? Stuff you wish you saw more?
>waiting for mossbadger to update like
Western indie:
>Voodooodolly
>Necrosarium
>LOTV
Honestly I buy more vintage accessories than indie, but I love vintage-inspired indie stuff.
Taobao:
>RedMaria
>DarkWhisper
I think DarkWhisper is gone now, though, which is a real shame. They had nice gothic/classic jewelry.
I'd like to see more mix metal/glass bead/faceted stuff, stuff like Schwartz Schmetterling. Not necessarily quite as OTT,...

Favorites include Peppermint Fox, LOTV, and tournewsoul.
Tournewsoul is doing lucky packs this year and I kinda want to go for it but I'm saving for my dream dress too so yeah...it's so hard to save money during Christmas time. Wish more brands would do lucky packs though, they're pretty fun.
Tell us a tale so frightful we'll be clutching our frills in fear and throwing out our favorite cosplay because we can't even look at it any longer without thinking of something that happened to the last person who dressed up as them.
I've got a few older ones from the days of homestuck.

This may be a bit long but I've been wanting to share this one.

Wow this whole post makes me feel uncomfortable. Cripes anon!
New help thread? Old one is beginning to autosage >>8766423 .
Please help out your fellow gulls.
>>8806487
Get some sock glue and attach some black ribbon or fabric to your legs in the right spot.
>>8806808
A petticoat will solve a multitude of problems.
>>8806623
They make silver square labels that you could cut into smaller shapes and glue on. Just sticking them probably won't last long. Or you could get some metallic silver fabric, add heat n' bond paper to it, and cut it into tiny squares.
Which would be the best way to do the seams/darts on this dress? Options I've thought of are (seam lines in red):
>A) Seam down the middle front of bodice
>B) Princess seams
>C) Shoulder princess seams
>D) Bust darts + lower dress darts
The dress will be made out of bottomweight poly/spandex, if that helps. It needs to be extremely form-fitting around the torso.
>>8806924
B or C are your best bets since they'll match the leg cuts
Can't wait to get these, oh boy

New Skincare Thread, old one is in autosage >>8744153
What are some of your favorite sheet masks?
>>8801724
My sister got me the 12 (?) pack of the tonymoly sheet masks for Christmas and oh god they leave my skin so soft
PS collagen applied topically or ingested doesn't do shit, the molecules are too long to be absorbed and will just sit on the surface of your skin or be broken down by your stomach, the only way to get collagen is through injection. Save your money
Asked in the last thread as it was already in auto-sage, but has anyone used Shiseido's Future Solution lx line? If so, any thoughts on it? I have fairly sensitive, combination skin and usually use a combination of Missha and the Face Shop products, but I received pic related as a gift.
>>8801724
I've tried a lot of sheet masks. Innisfree It's Real and My Beauty Diary masks are my favourites. The worst are The Face Shop and Benton snail bee masks.
Now that there are amazing plus size dresses, where can we get a good plus size coat? Bodyline is too thin, and FanPlusFriend wants too much for their also thin coat. MAXICIMAM has very cute ones, large sizes but it looks like it will only be good for fall.
Dumping gorgeous plus size lolitas to contribute.
>inb4 "there are no good plus size lolitas lolololol"
pls, we've had some very good threads until they get derailed by shitheads. if you want to complain about fat people please feel free to make your very own thread.
This girl's coord is just my absolute favorite. I hope I can coord it as well as her if/when I get this dress.

Everything you listed is tacky as fuck, except the backpack, which like anon said, is for small children. You are not a small child.
>>8811686
Personal taste. I just thought the things were cute, tacky or not. I'm not going to use the backpack daily or anything it's just something on my list that I think would look cute around my room, calm down. I'm aware that I'm not a child.
>>8811656
Not OP, but I like the form of the backpack, it's not like you're wearing it in Japan, who cares?

Can I get sizing review for AScos/AScosing?
Slightly in between sizes, so just wondering if it's be better to get a better fitted S or to get an M and alter myself. If they run large though then I can just get a S.
Re-edited the image because I realized I skipped some items. But yeah. Waiting on this one.

Sauce on the Jiji dress?
I bought my first kimono last year for black friday. With the holidays coming up, I was wondering if anyone has made any great purchases or are looking forward to any sales.
