Hey /cgl/ lets have a maid cafe general!
Have a maid cafe near you? Work at a maid cafe, even if its just at a con? Come share stories, pictures, etc.
I'll Start:
I've been working for a small con the past few years doing maid cafe, and we've changed some things around and need some nice, not too expensive dresses for the maids to wear. Anyone have any ideas?
>all those facial lines
definite head maid right there

Yay I love maid threads!
bodyline has some cute ones that aren't too bad of a price. Their quality is okay and slightly better than if you were to get one of the amazon dresses.
>>8741205
That does look cute!
is there a way to get them in different sizing though? some of our maids are... well, bigger...
Countdown to Christmas Edition

Lolita Guidebook
http://thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/
Does your comm have a meetup planned for Christmas? Is it separate from ILD or is there just one big bash?
So I'm considering getting the new JetJ shoes, but the sizing just doesn't make fucking sense to me.
I'm a EU 38, my feet measure 23,8cm, that pretty much equals a Japanese M size on that chart (24cm).
But according to the UK size on this chart, the shoes in M are only a Japanese 23,5 and according to the French (EU) size the shoes in M are only a Japanese 23,0. So they suddenly wouldn't be the right size anymore.
Going by the Japanese sizing again, the L size (25cm) would definitely be too big for me, going by the French size, L would fit me again.
So which size am I supposed to pick now? I'm hella confused. If anyone owns JetJ shoes and can tell me what the sizing is truly like, I'd really appreciate that.

Will we ever find a perfect Undyne?
Any tutorials you can share?
Post your upcoming or completed cosplays
and WIP's
I'm upcycling my velvet Eridan cape into Asgore. It's pretty much the same process as any HS cosplay. Just... snout? What to do?¿
Finished the base of the napstabot chestpiece. I'm hoping to completely finish it by the end of the night. I just need to add the speaker and create the cross-faders that are going to be on the other side of the chest.

Can we have a decoden thread? We've had them before and they went really well.
I'm thinking about getting some whipple cream, anyone here have experience with it? Also what are your thoughts on the amount of people who use it to decorate phone cases? Is that market pretty much full or should I try to get in on that?
OH!
I used to do a FUCKLOAD of Decoden (pic related of a couple did)
I actually just bought "Whipple" branded whipple cream today.. Its a lot like watered down fimo and Im not sure of its lasting capability, I actually used to use silicon as as much as it smelled horrid for the first week, it was waterproof and had incredibly strong hold on the case and the deco pieces.
Basically in the decoden market.. Its like:
1. How good are your creations
2. How cheaply can you price
When I was selling I bought in MASSIVE bulk and could undercut everyone. My cases in the pic were around $15USD. Saying that though, I have seen people sell some absolute garbage for $50USD so its really about your marketing.
As for my thoughts on it... its tacky as hell and I am a tacky bitch.. so I really like it! And making it is a lot of fun,
Wish people made S5 decoden cases, but no one does it. Cases are too expensive compared to iphone I guess...
>>8732861
Your stuff looks a lot like what I see on instagram!
Unfortunately I don't know enough about silicone to make these kind of phone cases.
I thought it was like dyed glue? The video I saw of someone making a case made it seem that way because they put it on, and then stuck a bunch decoden stuff in it and it dried perfectly.
I've also seen videos of people dropping the cases they made to prove it holds up and it does, at least for one drop it does.
Most people only have their phones for like 2 years tops, so it needs to last 2 years max but could probably get away with a lot less than that.

That's good to know, anon! Maybe that's what I'll focus on once I get good.

Post any WTF sales, sellers, or buyers. Whether it's outrageous prices, horrible products, or just demanding buyers.
When it comes to leaving feedback, bad or good, do you ever check the feedback of those who have previously left your buyer/seller feedback?
>have amazing interaction with seller
>she rushes to PO after work to post my dress the same day I buy it
>great communication
>wrapped very carefully cause she was worried about wet weather
>notice she has bad feedback about how she was a rude seller
>check profile of person who left feedback and see they have a shit ton of feedback from sellers saying she was flaky/argued about the price after agreeing to buy/offered prices then refused to pay
>disregard all feedback she's given other people
>>8722339
I don't do it often but when I see a situation like the one you mentioned I do check up on who posted that just to see what their reputation is. I mean, if someone has a bunch of positive reviews and then one or two bad ones that don't make any sense compared to the positive ones, I do see what the reviewer's feedback is to see if it's true or just a grudge.
Story somewhat related:
>selling delicate fandom necklace in original plastic packaging
>everything looked great, happy even though I sold it for just over $1 (noob seller back then)
>buyer leaves me neutral feedback
>"Chain broke as soon as I opened it! Nice necklace but I need a new chain!"
>chain looked in perfect condition
>was attached to the back of the packaging so it couldn't even get tangled in shipping
>assume she wants a refund, I'm not doing it
>just ignore the feedback
>never have another situation like that again
All I can assume is that she tried to rip the packaging apart like a heathen and broke the chain herself. I wish I had checked her feedback at the time to see if she had left other reviews like that for people, just to make sure she wasn't a scammer trying to get refunds.
I sell wigs as a hobby and recently I've gotten some wtf moments from buyers.
>selling random Chinese brand short bob wig for $10
>"Hi! I'm interested in this. What brand is this, Arda or EpicCosplay?"
>sold another random Chinese brand wig for $10
>list defaults under the price like it's shiny and a bit thin
>get neutral review from buyer that borderlines on negative
>"I bought this for $10 and it's shinier than I thought and thin! I guess for $10 I should have expected it but still disappointed!"

I ordered 2 things using the forwarding service, and when I checked only 1 of them has shipped. I don't want to risk having to pay warehouse fees. What's the best course of action here? I just ordered about 36 hours ago.
Reposting from last thread:
Does the Pastel Goth style have any certain terms to use on taobao? It's not in the dictionary and combining the terms for pastel and goth doesn't really work. I want to buy some stuff for a friend, so search terms and good shop links would be loved. I tried googling it, but almost all the links lead to dead shops.
>>8733143
Wait longer, it's during a heavy rush season and even outside of that items can take a lot longer to ship. You have 20 free warehouse days per item (the counting only begins once the item is at the warehouse), and the fee charged is 1 yuan per day so it's super minimal if you don't have many things. If after a couple more days they don't ship, you can go to your order management page click 'remind seller to ship'. If they still do nothing after more days, contact the seller and ask when the item will be sent.
Chill out, and take your time to look around your order management pages. If you use google chrome's auto translate and the english guides already published for taobao, you'll become more comfortable and won't panic so easily over nothing. Good luck anon!
>>8733299
pastel goth doesn't really exist like it does on tumblr and elsewhere, so there is no catch-all term for the clothing. I'm guessing combinations of soft sister (for the pastels) or ice cream color, and motifs like the crosses, skulls/bones, etc. accessories are pretty easy to search for using the dictionary terms.
Post those cosplays

This one I stole from on facebook somewhere. I think they actually paid for this photographer. Can't remember
Hello /cgl/.
In July I'm going to go to a post-apocalyptic themed LARP (live action role-play) festival and I plan to wear a survivor-like soldier since I do play airsoft and so I have military-grade equipment.
I'm asking you to write me some suggestions about my future costume like kind of materials, body armors and stuff. It must look cool but also functional in a post-apocalyptic environment.
Also, if possible, I'd like to buy as less things as possible since is the spirit of the festival to improvise/make things with what I already have.
>pic related, what I think to gain inspiration from
shameless self bump
What's the event called?
hmm idk maybe post more pix
Cosplay photographer here; I'm heading to a few conventions over the next few months and I'm looking for inspiration. My work has felt stale lately, and I'm not becoming as popular as I want to be. I want to know what photos cosplayers admire most.
Only the best go here!
