There are so many scantily clad cosplays. I'd like some ideas and inspiration for characters that are much more covered up.

>>8722427
Ah I should have added, I juuuuuust bought the wig less than 24 hours before the sale was announced.
>>8722432
You could email them and ask if they could give you the discount. They might do it. Can't hurt to ask.
>>8722437
Ah I thought about it but I'm a pretty shy person. I will give it a try.
old one is over 310
Which blouse should I buy? or should i buy a much simpler white cotton stand collar blouse? the pink one i am considering in the ivory colorway. i have the set with the otk's in the stock photo
>>8689365
The white one would look better with that JSK.
>>8689365
I think the full sleeve white blouse will look best perhaps you could remove the bow and add a jabot or smaller bow.
I posted in the last thread and got one reply was hoping for a little bit more feedback.
I also own a blackxblack BTSSB heart bag.
I'd really appreciate some advice on what shoes and bags to use.
Thank you.
Any new Kickstarters looking good? Anything actually worth backing at the moment? Backed any past projects? Talk about it here!
Ill just get it started, I found this one by Doc Dailey and friends, he did a successful project awhile ago, and is doing another helmet, looks intresting, pic related are helmets being made. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2126202269/frontier-buccaneer-3d-printed-cosplay-prop-helmets

People kickstarting their trips to cons? Seriously? And some weebs pay for that? Wow...
What is casual lolita? What is not? What is acceptable and what isn't? Post your opinions and pictures!
Real talk?
It comes down to how old you physically look. If you're still passing for highschool age, then the mish-mash j-fash styles incorporated with lolita look pretty cute and casual.
When you start to show your age, then it's time to hit up the Fanny Rose tumblr for style tips and aim for a more casual vintage feel.

I want every single thing in the coord! It's actually so lovely!

Sauce on skirt/vest?
I'm not keen on the tights but I can deal.
Have /cgl/ ever considered making costumes as a job?
Skilled artisans are needed for the film and commercial industry.
Why not apply?

>>8727134
That is my planned career path actually. I'm still in university, I'm studying Fashion Design at the top design school in my country. I decided to study fashion over actual costume because I felt like it would give me more options in industry and more transferable skills.
I have friends who study costume, and while their course looks fun creating beautiful and elegant ballgowns and such, they seem to cut a few corners, in drafting, construction and other areas.
it's the skilled part that's a problem
>>8727194
I'm actually in my final year at the top Theatre school in my country! I specialize in Lighting Design and Costume Construction. Having studied fashion design as well, I think the main difference is not so much 'cutting corners' - I don't think we do at all to be fair - but more the construction aspect. A fashion designer creates a piece of art that while intricate and very precise in it's construction, and does not have to withstand a week, or month, or longer, worth of run time. There are...

When did you go to your first convention? Which con was it and how old were you?
How many cons have you been to since?
For me, My first convention was Hama-con in 2010 when I was 14. I've been to about 25 conventions since then (7 as an artist), and kept my badges to most of them (I lost a few :/).
>>8721312
>first con
katsucon 2011
i was 13
>last con
otakon 2013
i was 16
conventions were too overwhelming for me
i moved on to lolita and jfash
I went to Anime Iowa in 2011, but didn't really cosplay until Kumoricon 2014 after I moved
I keep all of my badges as well
>grandma took me to first con

If I'm right Phoenix Cactus Comicon in 2007 was my first con. Went to see Vic Micnanang, my 14 year old dreams were crushed when I found out he was a massive asshole.
I've probably been to over 20 conventions in since, but the only out of state con I've been to is SDCC, hoping to go to PMX this year and change that trend.
Seagulls, Linkle will be like the new Elsa?
Is cute, is relative simple compare to others important female Zelda characters.

Can we discuss dodgy SS and webshops?
Having trouble with one of them and want to share your concerns and stories?
Were you scammed or are you still waiting for your goods after many months of waiting?
What SS and webshops should we avoid?
Here is my story.
I bought something from an SS on facebook named Loli Loli Paradise, they also have another SS account named Ieong Kam Seng.
This is a Taobao SS.
My transaction took place in May, it was a pre-order for an OP (not a print replica, fyi) and matching headdress.
At some point I sent them a pm which...

You kinda fucked up there yourself. You forced them to send you something which they did and they cant make the stores work faster. They need to communicate better for sure if people are unsure about what is happening but with taobao waiting months is the norm.
Was the op you got the katrina replica?
>>8732539
Yeah I know fucked up a bit, but if I didn't file the claim I probably still wouldn't have had my dress?
Waited as long as I could with my claim to give them time but at some point you just have to you know?
I sent them so many messages politely asking for an update, which they all ignored, they only started replying when I filed the claim which says everything really.
Their biggest issue is definitely communication. I know it's hard to keep in touch with all buyers but if there's a big...

Is it...cool if we have a black hair jfashion inspo thread? I have a straight up afro and I have absolutely no idea how to uncorporate that into himekaji.
>>8726458
Bangs. You definitely need bangs. I know someone is gonna come in here and yell at me in about five minutes for saying this but uncovered foreheads rarely look good, especially if you have a big one.
Get some clip in bangs from the local beauty shop, I think even chains like Sally's carries them. Bangs add cuteness and youthfulness
>>8726458
>uncorporate
*Incorporate. Oopsie.
>>8726462
Clip-in bangs with a fro look stupid at worst, and at best they just look really obviously fake.
I do agree that it looks nicer with the forehead covered, I think you can simulate bangs with nice braids and all, but I don't have any examples.
I didn't see anything in the catalog relating to events in Japan, any gulls out there actually living here? Discuss upcoming cosplay/jfashion events.

No but I did pay a shopping service to buy me stuff at Design Festa. I would love to know what you bought. I hope that someday I can go to Japan and shop at Design Festa myself, it's so not fair to see all of the cute pictures of designers' merchandise on their Twitters and then just cross my fingers that the shopping service will do the best they can. I'm sure if I went there in person I'd buy about 100 more things.
>>8732221
Design Festa is sensory overload. I definitely recommend going, but only if you can dedicate the whole weekend to it and you have a lot of spare cash.
I ended up buying a ton of postcards and prints this time around, but I did get some cute accessories and stuff. I usually hate perler bead things but these I thought were pretty cute for a pastel coord I've been putting together.

Alright gulls, you've got $2,000 to blow. Put together a coord.
>>8732081
$2000 in which currency?
>>8732083
I'm not OP but considering there's a "$" sign, I'd assume US dollars
>>8732120
The $ is used for more than USD.
