i'm not even a gothic lolita but i think it looks really pretty, post coords and stuff.
it's usually good 4chan etiquette to start off threads like this with a small dump of your own, anon

Can we discuss gothic vs. kuro?
I still think kuro coords are still somewhat gothic even if they have some sweet elements.
>>9090869
Kuro relates to color only though, not style. For a coord to be kuro it has to be entirely black and that's it, and black doesn't necessarily mean gothic.
It's been a while since we had one of these threads.
Haven't had one of these in a while!
Here you can post your experience with commissioning cosplays and the like, or horror stories with terrible customers.
To start off
>Can you do a commission for me for free?
The absolute worst: "Your work looks sooo nice! I was hoping you could make me this for me. I'm looking to spend $50-$100." (This = complex thing with lots of fabric. I hate this more than "could you do a commission for free?" The tacky cheap polyester Chinese factory version of that character is $120. And I know you know that. It's so insulting. I don't expect people to know just how many hours it takes and how much good fabric is, but *obviously* good quality custom work is more expensive than cheap mass produced.)
Runner up: "Could...

>"Could I get quotes for these five complex outfits?" That shit takes serious time, kid, and I'm 99.9999% sure you're wasting mine.
This, so much. I've recently had quite a few people ask me if I could do a bunch of Overwatch stuff and most of those designs are complex and would be expensive as hell, not to mention very time consuming.
Other favorite is I've personally had someone tell me to make something worse or not as good of a job so I could...

Post blog recommendations here.
NOT TUMBLR. There's a thread for that over in the catalog.
In particular, I'm looking for blogs on Larme, lolita, himekaji, and uchuu-kei.
To start off, here are some relatively well-known and previously quoted blogs from past threads:
universal-doll
parfaitdoll
emiiichan@blogspot
lolita-next-door@blogspot
petitedollies@blogspot
bubblegumribbon@blogspot
beckii
terararrarium@blogspot
milkai@blogspot
etc.
Feel free to self-post! New or underrated blogs are a plus.
I've started a brand new blog! Will be posting Liz Lisa and himekaji/larme mainly. I've had 0 views so please check it out. My post is a magazine scan.

That's...worryingly bad.
With the new bluetooth pipboy will we see a surge?
Im trying to make my next cosplay the sole survivor in the vein of this guy but mostly just the license plate armour. Thinking of sticking with a 10mm prop gun though
is there any pip boy prop that can hold an iphone 6 in it
My power armor is completely done. Making my customers' suits before I finish my personal one
Lolita / Cosplay In Public Stories
Ever been asked "are you in a play?" How has the general public treated you & what have they said?
>>9076899
"Are you in a play?"
"Why are you dressed up/What's the occasion?"
"Who are you cosplaying?"
"I used to wear dresses like that when I was a baby!"
"Will you take a photo with my daughter?"
I got my first "you look like Little Bo-Peep" comment just the other day, it honestly felt like a rite of passage.
I've had little girls ask me if I'm a princess and the mothers will ask me nicely to get a photo taken with the girls, which is kinda nice.
One year for our halloween meetup, I was walking to the meeting place (a busy public square) and a bunch of drunk military boys came up and said DUDE WHAT PARTY ARE YOU GOING TO, CAN I COME???
It's been a while, you know the drill.

Shame on this thread not having any posts in it! SHAME!!
Most recent cosplay, I've been busy with school so I haven't had time to really work on new stuff.
Holly Joestar Kira, I'm p happy with this costume & it's super comfortable! Excited to get my Otakon stuff done
"Nah, I'm just here for the Rave man."
"Yeah, I don't really like cosplaying too much. Isn't the focus of anime cons on, you know, anime and manga?"
"If the cosplayer isn't familiar with anime or manga, or doesn't care about it, then why go to an anime con?"
These piss me off to no end. And I always hear this kinda stuff from salty neckbeards that get pissy because they think we're stealing "their territory."
If anything, we're the only important part of the conventions, and their stupid little cartoon fandom conventions would be dead...

deadpool cosplayers that think its okay to photobomb photoshoots etc.
here in kansas we deal with a certain deadpool that we call meth pool or dj deadpool but his name is andrew and he gets booted out of conventions everytime for being a little shit head.
we're at that point in the year where there's nothing fuckin going on
Aside from Ame coming up
What's the Warwick campus like?
Sunnycon is on today

>What's the Warwick campus like?
Really nice, lots of quality pubs around and pretty much anything you'd want near a con
>>9060091
Sunnycon was really fun today
Saw this cool Junkrat who stayed in character all day. Didn't wanna dump my own stuff this early in the thread
Can we have a thread for good gijinka designs and cosplay? Especially stuff other than Pokemon.
Wanted to make a thread after seeing this pic on Facebook. I never thought I would like an Eeveelutions group but they look amazing.
Starting with a small non-Pokemon dump

What does /cgl/ think of cosplay porn?
>>9059350
I think its cute when they act in character, but dumb when they turn cosplay into a fetish.
3D is gross. 2D waifus only.
>>9059350
All for it as long as they're in character. Also, bad costumes (as in eBay quality hotglued satin messes, not just cheap easy to clean costumes), awful makeup and being a completely different body shape/type (again, I don't mean a chubby girl with a well-fitting cosplay, I mean Tumblrwhales trying to pass themselves off as petite and waifish) are a huge turnoff.
As long as you meet my extraordinarily high expectations of looking and acting like the character you're pretending to be, it's great.
With all the Breath of the Wild hype, seeing some Nintendo cosplays would be gr8. Post em!
we need more fire emblem desu

This is really cute
How tall is /cgl/?
Has your height ever hindered your cosplay?
I'm a 5'11 goddamn man and I don't cosplay
>>9053937
5'11" 113lbs. I'm a stick.
5'1" here. I don't cosplay much, but my height is great for jfashion like sweet lolita and fairy kei.
Now the trailer is out, how many first!! Moanas will we be seeing this con season?

I am not seeing the hype. At this moment in time it seems a bit boring and I have little reason to think people would cosplay her until I see more development on her personality.
>>9051865
>"natural hair" vs wig wank
>normie website features black girl cosplaying Moana with hair natural hair
polynesian hair and 'natural' hair aren't the same. please save me from listening to non-poly people trying to tell me she has black hair when she just got islander hair. I'm going to hate everything about this 'fandom' i can fucking feel it
>>9051865
I wonder how many people will bother to stick on fake eyebrows to get that cunty smirk right.
