Are they worth it or are you better off watching Youtube?

never heard of them. are they any good?
>>8730163
Every single one of them is still learning.
You will probably not learn much.

I have done a photography panel at a convention before, and it was well received.
If the the lecturer knows what they're talking about and they're engaging AND entertaining, you'll get something out of it.
If not, you shouldn't waste your time.
Let's start a thread for indecisive people like me.
Post something you want to buy or do but are unsure to. Anons will help.
I begin.
I never got into lolita even though i know it since 2006. Parents were assholes. A friend of mine sells this dress for 50$. I love old school style dresses in black and white but...i am just not sure. Should i take it anons?
Yeah, it's a pretty good deal. You can find them cheaper on auction and stuff, but then you'd have to pay for shipping. Old school's also super trendy right now so if you like it you should go for it.
>>8762829
Hm yeah but i am just indecisive bc of that three ruffle thing...dont really like it. But its still super pretty
>>8762833
If you're not sold on it, I would check out auctions and browse for some other items before making a final decision. See what's out there first.
The contestants for Iron Wig 2016 were announced today. Let's discuss. What are your opinions on this contest? Who do you think has the best portfolio example?

Do you think the new prints will be shown at the AP SF tea party?
What programs do you gulls use to draw and create your own custom prints? I have an idea for a forest print with centipedes and spiders and mushrooms but I have no idea where to start
>>8757054
That print is pretty bleh. It looks like something a Taobao brand would put out.
Do you guys know any western artist that wear lolita as inspiration?
Thought it was pretty amusing that Amy Lee got posted in the ita thread recently.
Of course she'd be a fucking ita wearing tacky bodyline.
>>8754207
I like the mix of lolita and 50s in melanie style, but that teeth is really cringy...
>>8754218
I mean, those are just her teeth. I'm not a huge fan of them either, but I don't expect her to spend time and money to get them fixed when her career is going well.
This was just announced.
Really feeling like the US branch is crashing and burning thanks to shitty organizers.
>>8743139
I'm willing to bet a lot of cons turned this down because of the sheer cost involved for the "privilege" of hosting. I still wish someone in the USA would start a different cosplay competition that wasn't run like a shitshow.
This is my local con.
What does this mean for me?

Song and dance dog show
What were cons like pre 2004ish?
Pretty chill. We still had our lolcows, but I found a lot of feats in cosplay more amazing because of the lack of wide-spread materials. There weren't 5 million colors of wigs and worbla readily available. Katie bear tutorials and sharpie dying were like witchcraft.
I also found cons less autstic (granted, I'm a bit aged out now, but if kids are having fun that's good). It was much less competative cosplay-wise, in the fact that you were just excited to see someone cosplaying from whatever series, it didn't really matter if they were missing a wig...

Pretty amazing, ngl. This might just be the nostalgia talking, but in ye olde day cons were a magical oasis that you pilgrimage to once or twice a year. The conventions themselves were shittier with garbage programming and guests unless you were at one of the huge ones like Otakon, but in the late 90s and early 2000s it was much harder to come by anime merch and videos unless you were in a dealer's room. So it was something to get excited about. It was also harder to meet other weebs and cosplayers in the wild since this stuff wasn't mainstream yet. Most anime cons...

I know there's a new actual handmade thread, but u didn't think this was the right place for it.
So I've been thinking about immersing myself more into Lolita, but I've heard from a few people in local community that you are basically outcasted if you make your stuff as opposed to buying brand. I just love the fashion and style and want to be part of the community but I don't have $500 to drop on a coord.
So opinions? I'd like to know your feelings on handmade?
Also pic is just one of my inspirations.
If you can make it look good, go ahead. Most lolitas hate handmade because on top of being poorfags, people that go that way usually can't sew for shit.
> basically outcasted if you make your stuff as opposed to buying brand
I'm really curious about why this is such a common misconception. Everyone who asks about this is told that handmade stuff is only ridiculed by the snobbiest of snobs as long as it's good quality, and in my experience, that is completely true.
I honestly wish I knew how to sew. I have a lot of very cute ideas for dresses and would love to wear them but I suck at physically making them. If your ideas are good no one will mind handmade. If they're good enough I'm sure they'll even make other people jelly since no one else can have them.
Since I haven't seen one in a while.
I can't decide if dear celine's small sailor college salopette would look good worn or not
Tricky Nightmare Factory Skirts worn, please?
I know it's new but I'm hoping someone has pics.
Infanta's coffee time jsk?

Old thread is kill. More ILD coords are pouring in late.
This is not even a sceptre, it's a staff, which seems to have been intentional. I hate sceptres and props but this isn't the worst, thought it looks horribly impractical.

Poor dress..

Has anyone got any good Ranger/Sentai cosplay?
I'm kind of tempted to get a Crimson or Navy Thunder suit, but i'm really sceptical of the quality and timeframe they give you.
I think Aniki is the most popular one but i've heard some really dodgy stuff he does, and people are waiting 6+ months for an order.
I talked to JTOKUCOSTUME and they've been quick and upfront with my questions, but they don't have any pictures of the finished product (no prior commissions I guess?) I want so i'm unsure how it would turn out.

Bump.
What's your budget?
Low: --> Buy a kit for the helmet and paint/sand it yourself. Or use model for hobby/colorsuits stuff. Be warned, it won't look very good.
Medium -->($800-$1000) Aniki. Buy 1 year in advance, especially if it's not a super popular ranger they make all the time.
High -->($1500-$2000) Go on rangerboard and commission pieces from US sellers.
>>8753239
Probably medium, but I don't want to wait so long.
I'm not very handy at all so making it myself would be out of the question.

Inklings don't always have their gear on 24/7, calm down.
>No ears
Agree, needs ears.
>No fangs
If the food is just for the shot and not actually meant to be eaten, then I agree. Otherwise no, eating with cosplay fangs is a horrible idea.
