ITT: dresses or prints that you just can't see anymore.
Since Holy Lantern is way too obvious, my next choice would be the Kiss Me Cat OP. I just can't.

god I hate this fucking dress and I hate every newfag fussing over 'when will my dress get here I ordered it on preorder 2.4 hours ago but it should be here'
it's ugly, and the only time it looks halfway decent is on the mannequin. it looks so bad worn, especially on larger girls
New wig thread, post the good, the bad and the ugly.
Anyone have experience fixing pic related?
I've worn an insanely curly/long Arda wig twice, both for short amounts of time, used the net and box it came in for storage since I move for school so often, and it has developed quite the frizz problem.
Any amazon links for favourite wig brushes and tips for conditioning sprays?
>>8925816
the frizz is created by the wig hair rubbing on your skin/cklothes where it hang on your back.
pretreating with motions is great for straight wigs and prevents the frizzing from getting really bad.....i find that liberally spraying the underside of the wig with hairspray before wearing also helps some.

Is there a wig buying list or anything of the sort? I'm looking to get a wig for Rei Hino wig, but i was wondering what was the place that has the best long wigs.
I'm know i'm not doing Arda since even the medium length ones tangle like a bitch in an instant.
Haven't seen one of these in a while, let's see some cosplay

What kind of prints would you like to see more of, or have never been done before?
>>8966777
More polka dot naval and country prinrs. Could also do away with overly floral prints that chase the skirts of Baroque's outlandishness and center more on the more modest prints of Rococo.
Also witnessed, etc. Very lucky indeed

I'll start. I'm still desperately looking for Melty Ribbon Chocolate in bitter. I already lost two auctions and one sale, this dress will be the end of me. I'm not going to look at coords anymore until I'm 100% sure this dress is on it's way to me.
It's kind of embarrassing... but this.
L047 from Bodyline, what was going to be my first dress before I got cold feet and bought a Momo's Fairytale World OP off of eBay. I've never been able to find it since, save for an overpriced $50+ eBay listing some other seagull sniped about a year ago.
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache

I would even take the JSK
I want it that way
So, spring it has ended its first edition. What are your thoughts? havent seen many comments in facebook.
In my opinion it was actually pretty good.
For the first edition it obviously had some problems, for example, didnt had many artists there, or many stuff going on, but they had alot of organization and everyone was really happy there.
Something I liked, is that they had alot of food, and i heard cosplayers from the contest and judges, and volunteers had free pizza which for me was a really good thing.
Was a really soft event, with alot of potential to grow and be a really good event.
Everything was finr but there was a group of volunteers that were quite noisy. I have some problems with lousy voice.
Didn't like the venue at all, specially the place where the maid café was at. Sinister, gross looking and right next to a bathroom. A lot of things, including the stage which was awfully tiny for a competition and dance performances, where full of duck tape. Not a very nice sight if you ask me.
Also, for an event that advertises a BBQ as sort of an after activity mixed with dinner, it ended quite early and I personally was yelled the hell out by a volunteer who wanted the line of people who were leaving the event during a lot of rain to move faster (I believe everyone was quite surprised we were being kicked out so early and with weather you couldnt be out for 5 seconds without getting soaked, plus I was at the end of the line, not much I could do)
I only attended Saturday, so I was quite baffled when I saw such an ironic panel as that "How to make a good con" or whatever considering the only good thing were the panels imo.
Are you embarassed to cosplay skimpy things? Is there a line that you would not cross or do you just don't care?
I personally just think its trashy. I've only seen two actually well done skimpy cosplays and its because they were done in a professional and tasteful manner
there are a lot of factors that play into it desu. you need to look good first of all but i like more "obscure" skimpy cosplays better because at this point some are so overdone and i just can't be bothered to care. but in general desu i think as long as you look really good and your work is spot on then it's nice.
personally i dont mind much doing them as long as my cooch is covered. i don't care if a little ass is hanging out but i could never wear something like satsuki's slutty uniform, for instance.
Post JFashionistas on social media who you admire.
That otome with the inspiring ideas? Post 'em.
That lolita with the on point coord? Post 'em.
The aristocrat you think deserves a little more attention? Post 'em.
Keep the vendettas out, last thread was a shit show. Don't give the janitors an excuse to axe this one too.
Starting by dumping a few of my inpirstions.

Cute little japanese lolita.
Emerald_Weapon
Russian lolita, great content.
RM_Marionette
Australian otome/classic lolita. Enviable wardrobe.
Seeing as the other thread is becoming bogged down with pointless posts at this time. I am starting this thread for anyone that just wants to talk about Anime North prep or anything linked directly to the con.
RULE 1 - NO talking about Antonio/Jax/Roger/OCC/CHG crap
RULE 2 - What happens at AN stays at AN ;)
How late can I wait to get a hotel room? I'm not sure if I can go yet so I don't have a room yet. I don't want to make plans too soon and annoy the other person with my flipflopping.
>>8935359
You might get lucky and have someone cancel their room booking last minute and you'll be able to get one. But I don't think there are currently any rooms available
>>8935359
It depends how much walking/traveling you want to do and how much money you have. The far hotels, being the ones you pretty much need a car or that are farther than the shuttle route, will have room. It just is a pain.
No self post thread? Let's change that.
Post your latest cosplays, coords, photoshoots, ect. Let's see em!

I sure as fuck hope so.
We haven't had a Moon thread in a fair while and the new season of Crystal seems to be hyping up the community a bit more than the last one so lets see some fukus (and try not to agrue too much about the quality of Crystal vs Classic vs Manga, please).
New ones, exceptional reposts, beautiful props: POST THEM!
>>8906568
Sidenote, does anyone know what happened to Kathrine Zan? She used to sell patterns and accessories and is one of my favorite SM cosplayers but all her social media has been inactive since around late August of last year, if not earlier, and customers haven't gotten their orders.
She's been selling those things for a fairly long time so I don't think it's some scam. I'm worried something bad might have happened?
Anyone know anything about it?
>>8906574
Goodnight, sweet princess.
>>8906574
Woah, how bizarre. Did she have friends in the community? You would think if she had died, someone would make a post somewhere about it.
I've been seeing this pop up a lot lately, so let's get a discussion going. Lolita has rules, of course, it's what separates it from other fashions and helps to keep the distinctive look. Since the Risa shoot (pic related) there has been a lot of talk about whether or not blouses are 100% a necessity, and it's been popping up occasionally down the years anyway in the general discussions about modesty. It'd be nice to gauge the overall opinions on this.
>Have you gone/would you go blouseless in Lolita?
>If yes, have you gone/would you go to a meetup/event without a blouse?
>Have you ever liked a blouseless coord?
>Do think a coord feels incomplete without one?
>Do you think there are any substyles where going blouseless might work better than others?
>Does the cut/style of a jsk make it look better/worse?
>Any other comments?
Picture examples of good/bad examples of no blouse also welcome.
>>8964797
blouseless is a shitty idea and always takes away from the lolita look, even when a cardigan or shawl is worn. yourself a favor and delete this thread
I think blouseless look can be very cute sometimes, but it doesn't feel like full lolita to me.
>>8964801
What's with the salt? People have opinions, they might be different to yours, get over it.
Anybody cosplaying Judy Hopps?
She's definitely going to be one of the big flavor of the year cosplays along with Rey and Kylo Ren
sage for slightly OT but what is with this show? or movie? why is it so popular? The name of it reminds me of a bestiality website and all the eyes of the characters creep me out
Cosplaying Nick to an upcoming con but I think a lot of people are rushing to get Judy cosplays done.
>>8929562
It's popular (I think) because it's not a traditional Disney movie for kids. After everything Frozen being a cash cow forever, it's a breath of fresh air and despite how the characters look, the movie is targeted towards older viewers with their references to the Godfather, Breaking Bad, etc. I was reluctant to watch it at first because "Oh boy another animated movie about talking animals like Finding Nemo or something" but I really fell in love with it because it's not dumbed down for kids like you'd expect.
Previous thread: >>8957863
His barrel body is so unflattering in this JSK, he could've probably gone for the OP to hide that. Otherwise, solid effort though shaving his arms might also tidy up the look a bit if he's going to pose like that.
>>8964432
This is the definition of ill-fitting. How does this fellow seriously think its okay when tbe fabric is bunching around the zippers like that?
