That skeleton in the corner is what I'll look like when I find these
Still looking for any one of these- I'm almost starting to give up, though.
Lets get another bad cosplay thread going, the fuel me
Looks pretty average to me. Fabric is on the cheaper side and the tailoring could be better, but it's okay. Her face is kinda weird too, but that doesn't really have to do with the costume.
>>8708990
For a self made it looks pretty nice, but her makeup is awful. Nothing is worse than great costume plus bad/no make or/and bad/no wig
>>8708991
Yeah, but that's more cringe and less bad cosplay.
UK/Brit thread.
I hate you all :)

Ah right. Sorry I've not been in the loop, just been sort of skim reading every now and again so didn't really take notice of the post amount.
Madonna crowns, underskirts, scepters. Things you'd like to see catch on, things you can't stand etc.
To start off:
>Have you ever hated a trend initially but ended up liking it?
>Have you ever liked a trend initially but ended up hating it?
Also, apart from the usual Halloween influx, have there been any obvious new trends at cons? I haven't seen anything stand out as such in a while.
I like (and miss) the wristcuffs on ankles as sock toppers. I know some people criticised it, saying shit like "it'll stretch the elastic!" or "It looks childish!" (because of the resemblance to kiddie socks) but I think it adds a nice bit of texture to an area that's often really bland.
I still hate the sceptre thing though. For photoshoots, okay. To carry around at cons or tea parties? No. Knock that shit off.
Are longer than the dress peignoirs still "in"? I love the look but came late on the bandwagon.
I know brands are sort of continuing that trend with built in sheer overskirts (ex: Horror garden), but I havent seen an actual peignoir coord since 2014.
I can't stand high waisted dresses. They look frumpy and the silhouette is fugly.
Let's have a nanchatte thread!
>What is your favorite style? Are you more kogal or do you fall more along the general preppy route?
> Leg wear? Do you prefer tights, thigh highs, knee length?

> Any certain hairstyles you fall on when you're wearing it?

Dumping! Might mix in some kogal coords as well.

Dumping what I have. No gothic, visual kei, ouji, mori, etc. Just interesting male streetwear from Japan.

Have some questions that need answering about a few certain things. Unsure of which threads to ask them.
1. What are the best cons I should save for next year?
2. Who is great to commission and who are the worst commissioners to watch out for?
3. I heard Texas should be avoided at all costs because the cosplay community is fucking nuts. Is this true?
4. At Colossalcon, there was talk about a fight between BlackstarLee and Artemis Moon about their relationship and that one cheated on the other. Is there any real claim to this or is it just someone poking...

Okay /cgl/, let's make up some Lolita-themed cards for CAH. The aim is to hopefully come up with enough supplement into a regular deck, or even create an entire new deck. I feel like I saw something similar online a while ago, but a lot has happened in the Lolita world in the last two years and there's definitely a lot that could work in a game of this.
Pic related. Black or white cards are cool.
>Fatty-chan's sugarz
Did Deerstalker ever end up putting the Lolita CAH deck for sale like they said they would forever ago?

Post most favorite or unique accessories that you own or wish you had.
I need one of these for the summer. Dumping some of my pics of accessories.
Since the final Hunger Games movie is coming out this week, let's see some related cosplay!

they could have least tried an angle what would hide the fat desperately trying to escape the dress and the double chin.

General discussion thread.
My friend and I were brain storming whether to enter but all of our 'detailed' cosplay options have been done in the finals the past couple of years. Like there's nothing we're in to that has, I don't know how to describe it, other than level of difficulty of previous entrants.
And finding something to like or paying our hundreds of dollars just for a competition costume seems like a cop out.
Anyone else ever feel this way? Any cosplays you wish people would do?
>>8723096
I don't think your specific issue should be a problem, anon. Lots of costumes have been repeated over and over again for lots of different reasons. I know some teams prefer to choose costumes solely based on complexity or how well it fits a skit concept they have in mind, but honestly, as long as you don't copy a skit AND repeat a costume, you should definitely prioritize choosing costumes from a series you like.
But it is tiring to see the same five series in my country's finals (USA). Every...

Just focus more on skit, make it flawless. Unless you want the brother award.

Any updates on the USA prelims location or any updates at all, honestly?

Nothing too special as far as accessories are concerned, tho.
One of my friends is pissed at me because my outfit lineup for an upcoming con is all rare brand, so now she doesn't want to wear Lolita with me. It's really obnoxious because she actually has Cat's Tea Party and Puppet Circus, but refuses to ever wear them (neither have even been tried on despite having them both for over a year) on the grounds that they might get damaged. Now she's making nameless FB posts bitching about how easy it was for me to "replace" her as my con buddy. She's not being replaced, the other girl was always going to hang...

She's not worth your time if she's seriously worried that you're gonna ~outshine~ her with your outfits. These kind of people make me wonder if they're in lolita for the right reasons (to wear the fucking clothes) or if they are more interested in status and popularity.
Be frank with her and tell her she's being petty and selfish by trying to discourage you from wearing what you want. You have no business pandering to her with your outfits.
Make up a street style that you'd like to see, that is completely ridiculous, funny, etc.
eg.
Cloud-kei
>clothing tones from pure white to very dark grey
>floaty/poofy dresses, puffy jackets, anything goes
>as long as you look like a cloud.
>rain motifs/splashes of blue or sunshine could work too.
Do your worst, cgl
Gramma-kei
>tacky glasses
>floral moomoos
>garish make up
>realistic cat shaped purses
>short curly wigs, especially blonde or grey
Honestly I think it'd be kinda cute in its own way?
>>8721464
>My grandma-kei
>Only wear clothes from Ashley Steward and black wool socks with Birkenstocks
>>8721482
Double points if the glasses are the old-fashioned cat-eye ones to match the bag?
I'm half French and spend my Summers in Paris. The situation over there is breaking my heart and a Paris themed lolita thread would really be nice right about now.
Feel free to throw in any Russian themed coords you like, too. I would also invite Lebanon themed ones, but I don't think that's a thing.
I saw here once a collage on coord thread (or coord inspo, I don't quite remember) Of a French coord. It was so pretty, but I didn't save it. If someone post it, I would love you forever. Sorry for no contribution tho.

does a soviet union themed coord count as russia
Let's discuss mainstream representation of cosplay and J-fash. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
To start, here's a terrible representation of what appears to be a sweet lolita outfit. This is in an exhibit on Japan's "kawaii" culture (already cringe even without this hideous coord) in the Japan pavilion at Epcot. This is literally the best Disney could do. And if you read the blurb, it's described as a "cosplay outfit".
https://youtu.be/lFuntOKQpXo?t=5m30s
I actually emailed Disney complaining about it and saying...

I doubt they'll actually reply but please do post caps when you get a response
>>8716325
I actually posted this mannequin in an ita thread a while ago and someone responded with "tfw I know who you are" even though I don't know anyone who goes on 4chan. Are you the person they mistook me for maybe?
