Recommendations for maid dress? It's a pretty common outfit so maybe someone here has one they really liked they can link.

Bodyline.
What are some good decoration items for a witch hat? I'm either going to make my own hat, or just buy a premade one, decorate the edges with black lace, and add some organza ribbon.
Some witch hat inspiration, please?
Now, hear me out. This isn't a "baww bloobloo why are all Lolitas meanines??!!" thread, but something of a survey-discussion.

Three words:
Fashion
Women
Internet
The only reasons why this hobby is so salty.
Fashion is such a vain and superficial hobby, it's only about who looks best and how much money you are willing to spend. How could it NOT be full of cattiness.
Wherever a bunch of girls/women flog together there is drama and chit-chat, this counts for every other hobby or job. I worked in many jobs and know other galpals that have worked in all-women jobs and it's always the same. I guess it's...

Not true. I've been in other fashion communities where there is very little to none of what I've seen in Lolita. Not demonising the Lolita community or anything, but I've heard the same from others in goth and rockabilly communities.
>>8703745
My boyfriend's mum is in goth, steampunk and some other fashions and I'm into some high fashion brands and even though it's nowhere as bad there definitely is some catty behavior. Lolita has some strict rules, so it's not as easy to brush something off as "it's her style", but there definitely is a harsh tone in other fashions as well.
Circle lenses and contact general!
Does anyone know of any toric contact lenses that are colored? They don't have to be circle lenses. I need pretty high powered lenses though, high cyl., think -4.75
im currently looking for lenses for kotori. i have some in mind, but id love so see some of your guys suggestions before i buy.

i want makeup tutorials for makeup like this :3
What are some conventions that are more tolerant of slutty costumes? Also would include events within conventions like AWA's cosplay after dark.
Dragoncon is known as like the most tolerant of skimpy outfits since the crowd is typically a lot older/there are more adult themed events.
>>8699395
Same with Colossalcon because waterpark
>>8699388
AnimeCon.org is pretty lenient.
My question drowned under lace drama, so I'm turning it into a photo thread.
Baggy OPs have been a thing in lolita for some time now in some Japanese brands (AP holy lantern, BtssB Maria,etc) and now indie brands are jumping on the bandwagon. Usually these OPs have no defined waist (hence bag). Sometimes a similar look is achieved with a simple waist seam (Ista Mori OP)
How does the baggy OP look on a plus size girl? I'm tall (almost 182cm) but busty at 115cm and am looking for inspiration. Can I pull this look off?

Ista Mori- looks like baggy OP but has a little bit of a waist.

It's probably a little early for this, but have you started planning for ILD yet?
Is your comm doing anything fun?
Let's share!
Shit when is ILD again?
>>8700033
International Lolita Day. Twice a year one in June one in December.
>>8700033
Oh sorry misread your comment thought you said "what". I want to say it's usually the first Saturday in December.
Anyone have experience with Morphsuits?
Why do they all gotta have a huge logo on the ass? That's so stupid! Is there a way to deal with this? I guess, on a black suit, you could paint over it...
Also, can you cut up the stretchy material (like if you want the "gloves" separate) without fucking it all to hell?
Morphsuits tend to be really poor quality. Try ordering from http://www.zentai-zentai.com/ instead. You can even get one custom made to have removable gloves, feet, eye/mouth holes etc.
I have two morphsuits. Although one of them seems to be meant for sexual use since it has a zipper on the crotch.

you know, maybe it's to help you pee without removing everything...?
old thread a kill >>8695446
Any tips on using Buyee for Y!A? Just had a seller cancel my bids and it was pretty crushing
>>8699125
There's really nothing you can do to prevent that. Using a lesser known SS might lower the chances but it's never 100%, and you forgo the convenience of Buyee. A lot of Japanese sellers don't like selling to shopping services.

LACE is kill
Old comm thread is saging.

2/2
Now taking bets on how long it'll take for girlypoot to return to her normal attention whore self and create LACE 2.0
>>8698585
so this is the new comm thread?
or is it an online comm thread?
or just a "talk shit about kate" thread?
come on anon, make a fucking effort.
>>8698592
Oh fuck I just noticed it didn't post the topic. It's an online comm thread.
ITT: Outfit concepts that you'd like to see become a reality.
Also, which outfit in this image is the most desirable to you?
Top left and bottom right I could see being made into those $1000 MTO dresses from baby. The rest range from meh to tacky.
Top left if I could have it in all white and top 2nd from left if it had an underskirt.
>>8698373
Oh man I love the idea of the bottom left. I'm a sucker for sea themed prints. I would want the skirt longer and the pink ditched for navy, or any less awful color.
Best cosplay.
YES!
NO because everyone and their mother has been in this suit and its been plastered all over reddit for a few days now. Kill yourself.
What is with all the thread killers on cgl lately? People post dumb shit like this and bump something off the bottom.
Can we get a cosplay card thread? I'm looking to get some more ordered in the next week and I want to redesign.

Moo. Order from moo.
>>8697018
>Best supplier/printer
I've tried Vistaprint a LONG while back and their basic cards are cheap in price and quality. I heard they have been better lately so if you want something quick to test out, you can go with them. I keep going back to Moo and so have many friends. Their cards are so nice and thick and they're pretty easy to set up.

I have both.

>Best supplier/printer
I've gotten sample packs from a bunch of places trying to see if there's a place that offers comparable options to Moo at cheaper prices, but without infinite designs.
>Vistaprint
pros: cheap! ... that's pretty much it.
cons: you get what you pay for. stock choices are so-so, finishes (matte/gloss) look kind of sub-par compared to other suppliers.
use them if: you want a ton of cards and don't...

When a guy makes a bad cosplay he's either seen as an awesome/funny/chill person. At most he's completely ignored and forgotten.
When a girl makes a cosplay that's somewhat passable the internet just blasts them to hell and back.
What's the cause for this?
Usually bad male cosplays are just meh while bad female cosplays are awful genderbent AUs with floppy tits hanging out (that loki with the pasties is burned into my memory). Obese men don't seem to cosplay very much while obese women cosplay a lot. Also cringey guys tend to stay in their basements while cringey yaoi fangirls make their shit public. Men are usually too homophobic to act like cringey gay assholes too.
Some bad male cosplays make it big and will never go away though, like boner robin.
Men stay away from the center of attention. That and con goers ignore male cosplayers
Only a month away so why not have a thread?
> Are you planning on attending the event?
