Is it just me or does it seem like the bodice is wonky? I like the skirt part but the top just looks cheap
>>8768923
I see what you mean.
It might just be that they didn't adjust the bodice to the dress form as tightly as they should + AP's horrible product photography.
>>8768927
Maybe, but the faric looks really thin and those bows are awful.
Cosplay-related tattoos.
Aren't they a bit trashy?
all tattoos are trashy, but some more than others. they can be quite innocuous. OP pic is about as trashy as a leopard print tramp stamp
kind regards,
evil bigoted opinion bastard
>>8780418
I think OP's pic is trashy, but it makes me more attracted to the girl.
>>8780405
>Cosplay-related tattoos
You mean fandom related? It'd be weird if someone got a picture of a famous cosplayer tattooed or something.
But I think fandom tattoos can be cool, but it depends on the tattoo.
I definitely rather get with the cool tattooed nerds than with the awkward autistic nerds.
I'm not a nerd in any way, I'm a lolita so no tattoos for me but maybe I have a bias for the more alternative folk?
Is it too early to make this thread? SakuraCon is about 3 months away now.
I'm wondering if Undertale cosplayers are going to flood the convention this year.
>>8780695
It's too early.
>>8780695
>Undertale
Yes, likely most popular "cosplay" of western origin if not all origins
If it's Japanese-origin only, probably One-Punch Man

Better escape while there's still time, you're going to get swallowed up!
So, I'm looking for outfit inspo using locally bought items. I.E not from Japan or items made for kawaii fashion.
>>8783700
What a terrible example
>>8783700
What kind of things are you looking for, OP? I enjoy combing through normalfag stores to find items that would work.
Forever 21 usually has some cute stuff that can be worn in a casual jfashion sort of way. You just have to dig around for it. If you're going in to the store, do a quick check of each room. If you see a few things you like in one room, then that's the place to go digging for more similar pieces. They often have multiple styles all squeezed onto the same rack so you won't be able to see everything without taking a closer look. On the flip side, if you don't like a room at first glance you're probably not going to find anything you like in that room. Each "room" represents a different style of girl (these change by trend) so your best bet is to gravitate to the girl most like your style.
Other easier jfashions might be dolly kei, cult party kei, or even mori since thrifting is a big part of the styles.
You can find other quirky stuff in thrift stores too for General kawaii shit. If you can fit into kid sizes then try looking at kids clothes. They often have a lot of cute details.
Getting anything /cgl/-related for Christmas, seagulls?
Also, general feels thread.
not quite christmas but I ordered my first dress and it should arrive next month, in time for my birthday.
I got some loose leaf tea for christmas which I guess is kinda lolita, but I have no way of making it other than just putting the tea into the mug, and I can't stand the feeling of that in my tea so 10/10 planning there
I guess at least the tin looks pretty nice, and it's quite large (it's in a plastic bag inside the tin, would /cgl/ keep it inside the plastic or pour it out into the tin? I'm quite new to tea stuff, sorry for the derailment)
>Birthday is on December 24th
>Friends are all obviously busy with holiday ongoings
>Family is always super stressed out every year, arguments and multiple fights breaking out is very normal. Younger family members resent the added stress of having to do birthday meal/presents on top of holiday crap.
>Literally hate birthday attention at this point, wish everyone would ignore or forget that it's happening.
>Somehow everyone is out of the house right now at church or with friends. Which means I have a few hours of quiet to work on cosplays and chill by myself.
>Feels good, man.
>put together amazon list of cute shit I want
>cheap cosplay pettis, rilakkuma shit, korean skincare, cute asian make-up, cute homeware, even a cosplay or two, a couple of wigs are on there too
>family refuse to buy me any of it, preferring to get me stuff frankly I just don't need or want
I'm grateful for what they do get me and the thought that goes into it, but it's sad when you say "I would really like this" and the reaction is "no, it's too weird/childish, it's not happening" when I think things like make-up and skin care and cute lunchboxes are nice fairly normal gifts...maybe I'm a weird spoilt brat piece of shit. However I have my /cgl/ SS on the way and a recent aliexpress order on the way.
>Order Christmas dress from Glitzy Wonderland on the 2nd
>Sure that website says 7 days processing, pay extra for EMS
>12th, no dispatch notification, message via contact us page
>17th, no reply, turn to facebook and ask for refund as no way it'll arrive in time
>18th, open paypal dispute/claim to try speed things up
>20th, they post the dress
MFW now I can't get my money back and I probably still wont have the dress to wear on Christmas. it's literally a Christmas themed print so I'll have to wear it next year. Really could have done with the money now instead
>>8776243
I tought you can't open a PayPal claim before 45 days, it was changed?
>>8776246
They must have changed it, they let me open a dispute and let me escalate it to a claim straight away. Wonder if that might be due to this seller though, they don't seem to be the most organised and others on their facebook have been threatening claims. I bought a hard to find colour way of an indie dress from them last year, and they sent me the wrong colour, then sent me a second dress on top on the first by accident. Only bothered with them this time because they were the only site that (I thought) didn't have a month long waiting time for it to be made
Not cosplay or EGL related but
>Gets external hard drive for christmas
>Suppose to come last friday doesn't
> UPS Notice straight up states could be lost ask for refund or new copy
>Ensue panic as it's a two terabyte for a computer on it's last legs
>Arrives sunday and propped against the door so when I open it falls in.
>Feel bad for anyone with that driver shipping fragiles to be broke that way.
>It's in a completely unsealed box like picture.
>The ends just slid into it's sides.So could have fallen out at any point.
>Seal on hard drive casing looks tampered with but not opened
Seriously would it kill UPS to not be hella shit for once.
Welp. There goes one of my 3 cons of the year.
>The best San Diego convention is no more
Good night sweet prince :(

Damn it wasnt really a great con but it was one of the few where I could actually see my friends.

Looking at you AP.
Post your best or worst examples. Depending on how you see it.
>>8780093
This one in pink always looks super similar to AP's I think.
I don't like any branding. I can see why one would want to do it in maybe really tiny font, so that it would be easy to tell the difference between theirs and a replica, but AP always goes too far with it. They brand the shit out of everything and it's tacky. AP has to be scribbled all over their dresses, skirts, wristcuffs, berets...it's like Louis Vuitton, it suggests that items are supposed to have value because of the company that designed them and not the designs themselves. I'd rather buy three well-designed dresses from Taobao than one tacky overbranded dress from AP.
Pic related, beret could be cute but the giant blatant printing on the ribbon is obnoxious so I'd never want this in my wardrobe.
Anyone got any sakizou projects they're working on?
