What's going on with her cleavage? Looks like it's melting plastic. And the wig looks message

What you buying/waiting on gulls?
I've ordered the first two and am hoping their measurements are accurate(length wise), and am putting off buying the others so I don't get ali-regret if they all turn out crap. I really want to dress like a victorian children's book character this summer though.

I love it when people post their wishlists and big orders, let's get some ITT!
NZ Thread! Auckland Armageddon isn't that far off now, and Overload was last week. What u thinking about?
What do people think about the new Cosplay comp rules for Auckland? I can see a massive drop in entries with forms being due in three weeks before. Also I don't really understand the need to have judging the day before if they're capping the number of entries allowed? I think like doing one or the other would have been enough, doing both feels like overkill.

It sounded like the Wellington contest was very stressful behind the scenes so they have really doubled down for Auckland.

There's an entire thread dedicated to SU, lets have one for other Western toons. I'd love to see some characters or character designs that aren't often cosplayed. Pic related, I've never seen another person do Lazy Susan from GF.

Bumping with this, I think they did a pretty good job on Mabel's watermelon sweater outfit. The only thing is the stripes on the sweater are a bit too thick.
>>8635927
Fair enough. Question though, why is it that SU is so popular to cosplay shit from, but all the other Western cartoons barely get any attention from cosplayers? Did all the Homestucks just grow up and miss painting themselves so they switched to the newest Flavor of the Month?
This is a thread for all you men out there who keep asking questions about getting started in lolita fashion.

Bump because this thread has a lot of potential.
General tips if you care to pass:
1. Unless you can really do hair well, get a GOOD wig. The wig shouldn't be shiny and you will look more convincing if it's natural looking.
2. Learn how to do natural makeup. Drag makeup will highlight all your masculine features.
3. Groom your eyebrows. Don't make the arch too high or too filled in.
4. Cover your stubble. (Many suggest first use a pinkish concealer to conteract against the bluish shadow, set with setting powder. Then use...

>How did you discover lolita?
visual kei -> visual kei related websites -> doll dressup sites -> /cgl/ when looking for convention stories.
>Why do you want to wear it?
i love the look. i wanted to wear it as a teenager, but i was broke. then i butched up because i did not want to have people make assumptions about my sexuality. now i am becoming more confident, and feel like it is almost time to finally wear lolita.

thanks for the tips.

i guess i should be focusing on natural makeup more, even though my interest is in gothic. i will try to wear more natural looking makeup in casual settings to git gud.

I'm trying to start up an aristocrat wardrobe but I have no idea what I should invest in first. Any suggestions? I figured I could get away with a well tailored dress pant and a locally purchases button up for now. Should I get a vest or a jacket as my big ticket item?
>>8546423
that's not a bad idea. for aristo i would try to get a jacket or coat first, then a blouse. these tend to have the littlest in common with normalfag fashion.

Have we found THE Rose Quartz wig, gulls?
I like the wig a lot, but I think the makeup is lacking. I feel like Rose needs big, dramatic lashes and pink lips to be Rose. Blush would be good too. Her appearance and personality is large and dramatic and stunning, makeup included.
>>8660948
I really don't like all the little tendril-y curls. Having some smaller curls in the back/on the top might be fine, but I think it looks really gross when pushed to the front. Especially since Rose Quartz typically only has two big ol' sausage curls over her shoulders like that.

Re posting due to old thread dying quickly after posted.
I got my LolitaDesu lucky pack order in today. I'm a bit mixed on it, these are the first lolita items I've ever had. I'm a bit mixed because of the amount of items-I ordered the extra large size which is over 300 dollars and says "contains 5-11 items" I received 7- three of those being headbows and one being a low quality off brand tote bag. I'm pretty happy with the items themselves, especially the blouse I got.
Overall I got three headbows, one blouse, one skirt, one JSK, and a...

thansk for the mini review and pic, anon! do you remember what your parameters were?
>>8667624
I mostly just asked for navy blue items that weren't OTT sweet, I mainly asked for larger second hand items.
Last one autosaged. It got good. Any other comms harboring any spiteful, angry feelings they'd like to get out?
Are there any gulls in the Louisville/Lexington area? If so, are you part of the Kentucky Lolita Society? Just curious.
Can anyone in the Ohio comm tell me how that Harry Potter meet went? I couldn't go but I saw the pics and holy shit there were so many people.
>>8667864
It was super crowded, the hostesses said they weren't expecting so many people to come. A lot of people showed up late and the movie didn't get stared until about 5:30-6 because people were still arriving and eating. I had a lot of fun, but there were way too many people in such a small building.
Picking up from the last UK thread, particularly about Tabitha Lyons’ Patreon, speaking as somebody who used to be friends with her. I’m not going to get too personal with Tabs but I think people deserve to hear some home truths about her.
There was a lot of discussion in that thread about Tabs’ business nous and also, once again, her qualifications for judging cosplay comps. As far as judging’s concerned, some of the commenters are spot-on. She doesn’t make her own costumes from start to end and is open about that nowadays (she used to be more elusive about...

Only Tabitha care about Tabitha.
Opening poster here again.
What people need to understand is that Tabs is all about the cold, hard cash nowadays. Didn’t used to be the case, she used to have an active deviantART account and interact much more with her fans but the Artyfakes and Tabitha Lyons brands have gained momentum since then, and I think Tabs is now where she’s wanted to be for the past 3 years. Any pretence of her being an artist has been left in the dust. Tabitha Lyons has a big group of friends in cosplay circles and no enemies of note but otherwise, she’s only interested in people who...

Thanks for your insight anon, what you've said makes alot of sense, I've never really got from her that she cosplays for fun or as a hobbie.
Just a quick question about what's going on. I'm late to the party and want to know, why it's a thing now. Why is putting darker make up on racist all of a sudden?
Why the fuck are people killing legitimate threads with all this bullshit lately?
>>8666312
For starters it never looks good. The white girls "Vivienne make up test" is some of the worst makeup I've ever seen, regardless of how you feel about her doing it politically. She didn't make herself look anything like Vivienne, she just globbed dark makeup on.
When you try to change your race with your makeup, one of two things happens:
1) Like the girl above, you think [black character's look] is nothing but their skin tone. You don't have do anything like contorting...

also "kureditto kaado de katte mo ii desuka?" (can i pay with a credit card) is vital.

Yes, also keep in mind: "karada de haratte mo ii desu ka?" (Can I pay with cheque). If they agree, follow the clerk into the back; that's where they keep the cheque scammers.
