Can we just have a general cgl related rant thread? I'll start: I hate it when cosplayers don't take out their ugly piercings for the costume. It looks so trashy to me and makes the entire thing look a thousand times worse, especially if they're cosplaying a "cute" style character. It makes me so salty.
I've just started cosplaying characters with helmets/masks to hide my piercings, because my skin closes up abnormally quickly. I no longer have earrings because I took them out for a few hours once. Thought I was safe because I had them in for two years.

You know, there are people that rather cosplay for fun at conventions instead of trying to win a popularity contest.

Who are you? Fuckin' Wolverine?
Can we get some inspiration for super casual lolita coords - ones that would make normies think you're simply dressed kind of quirky, but not quirky enough that they would feel the need to ask you if you were wearing a costume? Some that normies might even - dare I say - like? Outfits that aren't actually lolita but use lolita main pieces are okay too, anything so long as it's a way to wear your lolita without standing out a whole lot!
I believe what you are looking for is otome.
Also I hope sweet cream house never has to suffer that bad of a coord irl.
Don't live in fear anon, just come out of the lolita closet.
>>8811857
Don't pin this on otome. For one thing, the print is way off.
Old thread is saging

This thing showed up to an event in Austin and called herself a Harajuku Fashion Lolita. Before, she got offended by a few who told her what she wears wasn't Lolita or Harajuku fashion and won't shut up about how everyone in the fashion is bullies and wants to do Lolita her own way.
Dumping a few from the Tumblr tags
> uses they/them pronouns
> wears clothing that is categorized as feminine
Someone didn't get enough attention as a child

Despite the snowflake that has nothing to do with ita or not... I can't see enough of the outfit to judge. Try to keep up full coord shots anon!
OH GOD HELP ME I am going to a birthday tomorrow and the birthday girl got it in her head that it be a theme party where everyone cosplays characters from animal crossing.
Anyone got an idea on something that would be easier to whip up in a day than pic related?
>>8815308
Go as the Villager.
Next time, check the catalogue for the help thread.
>>8815308
Holy shit I'm so jealous anon I love animal crossing.
You could do a cute sweatervest and bowtie and be blathers. Honestly just go search Animal Crossing NPC they're all recognizable.
>>8815308
You don't get to go because you didn't use the help thread.
Goodnight, sweet prince.

Please keep discussion as civil and related to /cgl/ as possible.
> I fucking love bonnets, and I think they look the best in gothic lolita coords.
> I don't mind seeing side-swept bangs/fringe on a hairstyle as long as it doesn't look like a mess and is styled accordingly. IMO there's too much of an expectation now to have straight bangs as part of your hairstyle. Let's be honest - some people's facial structures don't go well with straight bangs.
Wait, are bonnets unpopular now? I've always loved them.
>>8807502
I think bonnets in sweet are more frowned upon since it gives off a much more "baby" vibe then in classic and gothic.
It doesn't fucking matter if you don't think bittersweet or country sweet are real styles or even substyles. Just let people use those terms without being cunts about it. Using labels helps people find what they're looking for better. It hurts no one.

I'm planning on going to Otakon in my home city of Baltimore. Time isn't an issue, I have plenty of time to prepare my costume. The problem is I'm Black. I have airsoft guns with the bright orange safety tips but I'm scared to walk around with them.
>>8818912
Then don't. Is it worth getting shot over cosplay?
Airsoft guns usually aren't allowed in conventions anyway.
Also this is prolly bait but whatevs.
As long as you aren't stupid with them, you should be fine. Like don't wave them around carelessly, stow them away when you're not on convention grounds, make sure your weapons align with the weapons policy etc.
If you wanna be creative and not have to worry, just use one of dante's other weapons. Like lucifer or pandora. My life for a really good Gilgamesh or Luciferrrr
>>8818912
are you just going to make lame threads all night
Hi there, I'm super new to cosplay but fell in love with a background character from the new Star Wars. He has a pretty killer helmet but I'm not quite sure how to make helmets at all and all the instructions from a cursory google are pretty "high tier learning" situations.
TLDR could you give me some good links and tips for helmet creation in cosplay? Please?
What's with the recent string of newfags unable to use the catalog? Con season's starting up?
I love it when little boys lik you post here- but this is not the place to make your own thread! Mommy is very dissapointed and is going to punish you for not posting in the help thread like a good boy.
Shoutout to armored Undyne edition.
Old thread >>8795103
What's everyone working on? How many Frisks will we see at every con this year? Going to a con soon? Dont forget to take pictures of Undertale cosplay and share it here! (so we can talk shit)
>>8804783
The armor don't look like Undyne's armor, but at least she did an effort
I'll going to work in this armor too, nobody did it, at least, a good one.
>>8804794
The pic you have is her genocide armor though. I think OPs pic looks reasonably like Undyne's normal armor. Its pretty difficult to translate a sprite into a cosplay, anyway.
I would love to see one of her genocide armor, though.
>>8804783
That frisk in the background looks adorable af. Also what is up with all the fatties? I get that the game panders to tumblr but jesus fuck.
A design for the pokemon espeon. Thoughts on this sort of cosplay?
(background : so I have a degree in Costume design and construction. Yes that is actually a university course! I love anime and cosplay but my designson are a little different to what I've seen at comic con. More performance based. I'd just like a few opinions on if you would like to see this sort of cosplay. Or if I'm deluded and wasting my time... I just want to make things for a living! Not work in a kitchen xx
looks like you're gonna be spending a lot more time in that kitchen.
I suggest you trash this design and first google and study how other people have done an Espeon gijinka.
>>8818821
I kind of like it and I especially love the skirt/tail
Hate the bra-triangle part though.
Also, don't expect too much actual helpful and constructive critisism on here, you're better off asking your teachers.

I haven't seen a thread like this in a while, but what are some rarely-cosplayed pieces of media that you wish had more attention in the community? What about characters (from popular or unpopular series) that you'd like to see more of?
For me, it's Rhyhm Heaven. I love the series and think it has a lot of potential for cute cosplays but I've never seen much from it.
Characters from bemani games (iidx, pop'n, DDR, sdvx, etc.)
Characters from cave games (mushihimesama, deathsmiles)
90s anime (90-99)
Nadia Secret of Blue Water (the whole cast not just nadia or jean)
I really want the last one, but the show is over 25 years old now and is not that memorable to most people besides the fact the main character is black. I can dream though.
Endless variants, especially elaborate costumes.
Especially-especially the alternate Dreams from Overture.
There are so many options and Sandman cosplayers tend to stick to the basics.
Bioshock 1 and 2 they just died down and now it's nothing but a zillion Elizabeths
