Is anyone else thoroughly creeped out by taharakeiko?
>>8868335
I think she's cute? nothing to be creeped out by
>>8868343
She's super, super skinny, not just thin like she has no muscle definition in her legs, she always seems spaced out, and she likes her own posts.
Maybe I'm overthinking it but there's just something unsettling about her. She also has a facebook where she just randomly adds tons of random western Lolitas.
A little something ruffling your petti this week? Something you want to tell just to get it off your chest? Post here.
With nearly 60 Lolita bibles published with patterns, 8+ Otome no sewing, quite a few old issues of Gosu Rori all having patterns, why are Lolitas who want to hand-make stuff still so 'lost' on where to find patterns and how to make things? Many Lolita dresses, JSK and almost all accessory patterns from these are beginner to intermediate techniques, only needing at most a pattern enlargement and a basic sewing machine.
I just don't get it.
my pet peeve is the entire community
I'm lone loling for life, everyones we're so nice look at all this nice stuff we do, now kiss our ass
or wow you did a nice thing for us, do it better put all your effort and time into it even though its a side hobby
I think we should start using this as much as possible for repeatedly asked noob questions. No snark, no lecture just LMGTFY.

Guro Kawaii/Yami Kawaii is a fashion style using guro and horror themes. Menhera is inspired by the manga of the same name.
I've tried translating the first chapter of Menhera-chan. There's one panel left untranslated because the kanji was too awkward, and I can't promise quality but you get the gist of the story at least.
I can upload it if anyone wants.
/cgl/ has cancer. Time for treatment.
>HOW TO PLAY
Reply to one of the 3 charts (“divisions”). The number your post ends in is your roll, which also selects your “genre”. Choose your “mode(s)” during or after your roll; this is your base point value. To keep things interesting, if you don’t like your roll, announce that you are rerolling and subtract 1 point from your base points. For hilarity, accept a negative score where applicable. (Cheat if you want, no one will know.)
Then make your outfit/cosplay and post results....

Are substyles like Sailor and Country on the decline? Are substyles morphing into 'trends'? What are your favourite substyles?
Post inspo for any of the lesser known and even short lived lolita substyles
Let's discuss femme aristo. Pictures are welcome, we don't need to max out the thread spamming reposts though.

This Boz OP has been restocked in blackxblack and blackxwhite by the way (blackxred is sold out now).

My Giulietta OP arrived (I got it in black x black, lng length). Based on a quick flat measurement, the waist is about 68cm.
>>8729430
Is the bust measurement correct? Or what is your bust measurement and does it fit you? Mine is 89cm and I bought the OP hoping it will be okay (it usually is with their cuts).

This, as long as you're honest about not playing/watching the source material and not going around claiming to be the biggest fan ever, who gives a shit?

Been interested in doing an Alucard cosplay for a while now. However I don't want some cheap, "coat" like the ones actually sold for cosplay. Not to mention I'm 6'9'' and I really think having a custom tailored one would make all the difference. Any reliable website where I might place a custom order? Not necessarily a cosplay site, just anything I can get a quality coat out of.
>>8881747
>6'9"
>custom tailored.
yeah. hope you have hundreds of dollars saved up. especially if you want them to use better fabric.
also, theres a help thread.
>Cosplayers ask for drawings of themselves
>Get drawings that look just like the character
>No real point in having the cosplayer pose there
http://kotaku.com/cosplayers-turned-into-drawings-1760522322
Reminds me what the draw threads don't have cosplayers in them
>>8880061
I get it if it is realistic drawings, but anime style? It's so meaningless.
>>8880061
lots of idolmaster
but really it seems useless, it just becomes fanart of the original characters
>>8880232
Which in a way is anathema for cosplayers. They want to be seen as being the character and not just the character on her own.
How do you guys feel about Officially licensed costumes and such. Pic related was announced today by a company called anovos which will be selling it for 2 grand. Not only is it super inaccurate in areas but it is a waste of money considering you can do the same for about 1100 dollary doos.
I didn't see the new Star Wars (pls don't kill me), but does his hood have a frayed edge? Because that looks terrible and it would bother the shit out of me if I saw it on someone. I don't know what material that is but it looks like a plastic tablecloth.
>>8880022
Yes it has a frayed edge and the material looks like a tablecloth because it is waxed to give it that shine. Which honestly is another problem with this official costume, the fabric they used for the robe is way too stiff although having the correct kind of basket weave it drags like a ton of bricks.
Speaking of Anovos, I ordered their Stormtrooper kit when it was $350 and it's the first time anyone does an officially licensed Stormtrooper armor that doesn't look like shit. If built right to fit the wearer, it's virtually indistinguishable from other 501st legion Stormtrooper armor so I'm happy with that.

Someona put some sense on those spanish cosplayers

>>8879790
Who the FUCK cares? Cool so we have a group of spanish beyond amateur cosplayers who are probably also friends and even though it's cringe as shit; they are just having fun. Did you have to make a thread for this? Like does it bother the fuck of out you to see poorly made costumes and terrible acting and special effects in a shitty youtube video that much? To the point where you have to take time out of your free time to post this on cgl? Did one of these people harass you or something? Fuck this is pathetic....

Alright, I need some advice from gulls. A big con with 10k+ in attendance is trying to make remodel the programs department to create a better experience. What do you want to see more of as far as panels and events that staff can actually control?
Less Ask-A-Character panels. More panels about cosplay and crafting. Panels about con culture (running AA tables, what it takes to run a con, hotel living hacks, etc). Workshops with a minimal materials fee to actually work on something. Academic programming. Cool shows besides the masq (favorite local con does nerdy bellydancing).
>>8879381
I fucking knew in the tiny catalog photo that the photo on the right was from Matilda...
Maid cafes can be fun but it gets depressing fast if the only food you can serve is warm Cokes, Costco cake and bottled water oh sorry we're all out of bottled water.
Also I know space can be limiting but back to the maid cafe I went to a con where the cafe was just a roped off area in the huge games/artist alley/ rock band stage area and it was just a weird loud mess. It could have just as easily been in panel room or maybe an alcove in the hall.
