There are so many scantily clad cosplays. I'd like some ideas and inspiration for characters that are much more covered up.

Ah I should have added, I juuuuuust bought the wig less than 24 hours before the sale was announced.
>>8722432
You could email them and ask if they could give you the discount. They might do it. Can't hurt to ask.
>>8722437
Ah I thought about it but I'm a pretty shy person. I will give it a try.
old one is over 310
Which blouse should I buy? or should i buy a much simpler white cotton stand collar blouse? the pink one i am considering in the ivory colorway. i have the set with the otk's in the stock photo
>>8689365
The white one would look better with that JSK.
>>8689365
I think the full sleeve white blouse will look best perhaps you could remove the bow and add a jabot or smaller bow.
I posted in the last thread and got one reply was hoping for a little bit more feedback.
I also own a blackxblack BTSSB heart bag.
I'd really appreciate some advice on what shoes and bags to use.
Thank you.
Any new Kickstarters looking good? Anything actually worth backing at the moment? Backed any past projects? Talk about it here!

People kickstarting their trips to cons? Seriously? And some weebs pay for that? Wow...
What is casual lolita? What is not? What is acceptable and what isn't? Post your opinions and pictures!
Real talk?
It comes down to how old you physically look. If you're still passing for highschool age, then the mish-mash j-fash styles incorporated with lolita look pretty cute and casual.
When you start to show your age, then it's time to hit up the Fanny Rose tumblr for style tips and aim for a more casual vintage feel.

Sauce on skirt/vest?
I'm not keen on the tights but I can deal.
Have /cgl/ ever considered making costumes as a job?
Skilled artisans are needed for the film and commercial industry.
Why not apply?

That is my planned career path actually. I'm still in university, I'm studying Fashion Design at the top design school in my country. I decided to study fashion over actual costume because I felt like it would give me more options in industry and more transferable skills.
I have friends who study costume, and while their course looks fun creating beautiful and elegant ballgowns and such, they seem to cut a few corners, in drafting, construction and other areas.
it's the skilled part that's a problem

I'm actually in my final year at the top Theatre school in my country! I specialize in Lighting Design and Costume Construction. Having studied fashion design as well, I think the main difference is not so much 'cutting corners' - I don't think we do at all to be fair - but more the construction aspect. A fashion designer creates a piece of art that while intricate and very precise in it's construction, and does not have to withstand a week, or month, or longer, worth of run time. There are...

When did you go to your first convention? Which con was it and how old were you?
How many cons have you been to since?
For me, My first convention was Hama-con in 2010 when I was 14. I've been to about 25 conventions since then (7 as an artist), and kept my badges to most of them (I lost a few :/).
