Last I heard they were still waiting to hear back about the Cosplay Parade?
Their organisation seems to get shittier and shittier every year.
Yeah, people in the fashion show have heard back but I still haven't heard about the cosparade yet, it's seriously put me off wanting to cosplay there now
I haven't been in a good few years so I have no idea what to expect.
Last time I went the fashion show was 99% lolita and they gave a prize to a girl in the audience wearing full ugly yellow ita bodyline. So I don't expect it to be any better now.

>Do you prefer old-fashioned style, or modern?
I mostly do modern but I'd be down to research more about old-fashioned and see if I could pull it off!
>Seifuku or blazer?
Blazer, def. Well, I'll do a seifuku one-piece but wearing a sailor top feels too cosplay to me.
>One-peice or two?
Either! I have one summery dress and a wintery one coming in the mail.

No, we had a "unified...

>Do you prefer old-fashioned style, or modern?
Old-fashioned! Showa-style is the best, it looks very cute and a bit romantic, due to the sailor motif or old-fashioned style of dress.
>Seifuku or blazer?
Seifuku all the way, blazers are for normies.
>One-peice or two?
Hard to answer. One-peice is best for formal occasions, two-peice is best for practical times.
>Did you school ever have a uniform?
Sadly not. I don't live...

(I know it's not much, but I hope they're at least a little helpful to anyone looking for some uniforms!)
Can we have a thread dedicated to sexy Rule 63 cosplays? Gajinkas allowed to.
Jellyfats need not reply.
0/10 bait
Cosplays from the Stakes episodes or some rarer characters would be interesting.
Old thread is saging.
I hope people don't start thinking that this is casual Lolita, this doesn't have a single Lolita element in it. It's a really nice non-Lolita outfit, but it just doesn't belong in CoF.
If only she would have a poofier petti and a lolita hair accessory I think yes it would be lolita. Maybe even different shoes. It's really all in the details sometimes..
Why do people bother dying their hair odd colors if they're just going to let them get washed out and dingey. Washed out blues and green look like mold.
>>8748286
Nah, the skirt doesn't even look like it'd hold a bigger petti, and it looks a bit short anyway. If the skirt was even two inches longer, accommodated more poof, she'd get away with adding a hair accessory and having an entry-level casual Lolita coord.
Ugly dresses you also love go
This print is so ugly but I love the idea.
I don't even care how ita it looks,I just really want it

All this and more in: Australia Cosplay General
I've been attending Brisnova for ages and it's becoming less and less fun every time. Now I mostly just use it to meet up with friends that I don't see very often.
What do you guys enjoy most about cons? What would you consider a "must see/do"? I want to make it fun again.
Is the Aus dollar killing anyone else at the moment? Cosplay and Lolita are expensive enough hobbies as is.

Christ yes, I have so much shit I want to buy but I'm just holding off in the foolish hope that the exchange rate will become less terrible
what is fairy gore?
I heard it's a mix of Fairy kei/Lolita/Menhera?
Pretty much cute pastel with bloody sfx make up and self harm items?
Please stop mixing fashions in an attempt different.
>>8732869
not a jfash.
go back to tumblr please
>>8732877
I don't think they are mixing it?
Fairy gore is a fashion not originated from JFashion
It was a fashion started by cosplays of Elfgutz and Saccstry.
The origin also started of a pale grunge and pastel goth.

Does anyone know a shop that has decent quality straw boaters that's preferably US based?
I know it the middle of winter, but I want to wear a country coord god dammit.
>>8744282
If you are requesting US-based for shipping purposes, you can filter ebay results by USA only. If you're looking for US-based construction...that's going to be a lot harder to find or else a lot more expensive. If you want Made-In-The-US, let me know and I'll keep looking.

I got mine from Forever 21 for like 8 bucks. Simple but functional.

Dress is ill fitted,
No makeup for a character shown to wear it.
jeggings rather than tights
Terrible posing that makes one look like a man in drag
>why is bad??
Lets make a thread about cosplays that you want to do but are on the fence about or can't/won't for various reasons (or delaying).
Post pic of who and why.
I'll start
Gowther from the Seven Deadly Sins (I'll get better taste in anime one day)
>Be guy (even tho character is a boy)
>Not as petite or feminine (have almost no "boyish charm" slightly?)
I am however very slimming so i'm on the fence
What about you?
my favorite character from literally anything ever i would die to cosplay him. but i am very small, too feminine, and my skills at crafting aren't anywhere near where they'd be to make this (particularly the arm ugh fuck me up)
also asahi from haikyuu because once again i am very small (anout 5'3") and his hair would be so difficult to make look good with a wig. and my natural hair wouldn't be right for it, plus i don't believe in using natural hair for cosplays
Chibi moon. I've got D cup breasts and a womanly body though. Also I have a bit of a childish face but I'm not sure if it's childish enough. I don't want to look like I'm fetishizing her or something :( maybe if I do the teen version that was in one episode? I really want to do the sailor uniform rather than black lady.
>>8736078
Similar case
King from Seven Deadly sins
>Be a girl who's really into the manga and caught up to the current arc
>A tomboy/sort of manly looking but has a baby like face
>Is 187 cm so can't do it
I don't want to do Diana because I'm not comfortable wearing her outfit and I'm not really that cute either.
What would be the best/recommended way to cover/ hide overlap ridges when using worbla? Especially if they can't be flattened out.
Also worbla general if you want
Get a thick paintbrush. When the worbla is hot roll the end of the brush over the overlaps to smooth them out.
>Black worbla is crap. Don't waste your money.
>>8734074
>>Black worbla is crap. Don't waste your money.
How so? Not disagreeing with you, I've only used yellow worbla.
>Black worbla is crap. Don't waste your money
How so? i like how much smoother the surface is, it saves me hours of priming and sanding.
