Old one died.
Anyone has that one person in their comm who always asks to hang out with people but never attends or organizes meetups themselves?
I think every comm has one of those people.
Some comms have multiples of those people.
etiquette of bidding on local comm member's "dream dresses?"
>I have work that day
>Sorry girls, it's too far/expensive
That new or inactive member that let's everyone know whether she will make it to the meet even though no one knows her or cares about her presence. I can't stand the implication that things should be catered to them.
I didn't see a new thread. Last thread was auto sage.
Who is everyone cosplaying as this year? What are you all most excited for?
>>8917443
Otaku bro here, I will be cosplaying nothing. And will be looking forward to good smiles 10th anniversary panel.
>>8917443
Just this nigga, painting my trumpet right meow.
I'm excited for the con in general really.
>>8917533
How much you want to bet that there will be scale figure raffles and free nendroids.
Should be awesome.
New Undertale general, old one is sagging itself.

Well a tank top is definitely easier to make than a set of armor
MCM Birmingham next weekend, then Kitacon two weekends after that.
Who's going?
Try not to get the thread deleted this time.
Did the thread get deleted? I thought the last one autosaged and no one bothered making a new one.
Anyway, who's ready for Kita?
>>8908644
It autosaged but we've had threads being deleted recently for tog dramu. As usual.
Kita hype. Is the pizza ban still happening at the Hilton?
>>8908666
Just say your a reg hotel punter not with kita when you pick up food. Are they going to stop everyone in the hotel getting food?
How do you do your nails /cgl/?
oh that's right! I have nails...
I use nail polish once a month at most and I'm always too lazy to remove it so it cracks and fell eventually...

Have any of you used this mold? From the pictures I cant tell if it will make a full frame that I can put stickers/findings in or if it's just an outline.

Does anybody know where I can find chains like this video? I think Delish Beads got them but not in those colors?

The listing shows a picture of it from the side, the central section looks more raised than the rest so it probably wouldn't make a fully backed frame
Post tips, tricks, tutorials, questions, works in progress, and good handmade lolita things.
>>8879353
What is a good source for nice cheap lace besides taobao and Aliexpress?
Are the lace prices on etsy reasonable or overpriced?
I only recently got into handmade and so far sourcing fabrics is the hardest thing.
Does anyone know an easy technique for making gathers evenly? I'm doing the two-lines-of-straight-stitches-and-pull method right now, but they're not coming out very uniformly.
>>8879553
Etsy prices depend on the lace. They're often marked-up taobao/aliexpress finds, but it depends on the fees you would have incurred buying from those sources, and whether you need huge quantities or not (some listings are wholesale only; the etsy seller then divides that up, so you're not buying $100 of lace when you need $15).
Cheep Trims is good for wholesale quantities and has a wide variety. Kuboriki is good if you want to use the same laces as lolitas in Japan (some of these can be found duped on taobao, but the materials aren't always as nice).
>>8879604
Ruffler/gather foot is the easiest and fastest way. It basically makes little pleats instead of "ruffles", but they're so small that they just look like even gathers.
If you have a serger, it should also have a differential feed setting. Set properly, it allows you to gather non-stretch fabric slightly, then you can pull the thread to tighten the gathers. Faster and more than doing it purely by hand, and also less likely to bust the threads due to friction/tension.
Let's have a thread about brolitas.
These questions are for the brolitas.
How did you get into the fashion?
Why do you like wearing the fashion?
How many main pieces do you have?
Do members in your Comm accept you?
These questions are for the females.
Does your Comm have a brolita?
Does your brolita coord properly?
Is the brolita fun to hang out with?
These questions are for the brolitas.
>How did you get into the fashion?
I saw it and liked it and bought a dress
>Why do you like wearing the fashion?
It makes me feel pretty
>How many main pieces do you have?
Around 22 brand dresses, around 6 offbrand pieces
>Do members in your Comm accept you?
Yes, but many of them didn't even know I was brolita until I told them
what's the source on that picture OP, is it really a brolita?
>>8873870
It's from CoF. Unfortunately, the brolita deleted the pic because he overreacted that it was posted on here.

Lolita conventions
Gone to one? Planning to attend one? Staffed for one?
Do you wish your comm would start a convention initiative, or are you satisfied with JFashion programming at other types of conventions in your area?
Pic related, just found out about it but I'm not sure if it'll be worth $40 admission and a drive to Missouri.
The people involved are working really hard to create something great. I was on the fence too, but I am going and a few of my friends are going now too. Plus kind of excited to see Soufflesong in person. I have been curious about them.
>>8925173
If you meet soufflesong ask them why they're completely jerks from my part
>>8925173
It certainly seems that way. I'm just skeeved about the $40 price tag because I'm only interested in Day 1 events. The Nelson Atkins museum is free to attend anyway, and the picnic lunch sounds boring and messy.
If only they had a reduced one day ticket...

boots anon from the last thread here, I tried to put together some outfits using what I have in my wardrobe. A lot of these don't work for my himekaji/larme look I'm going for with my wardrobe, but can I get some concrit on how they work outside of those specific fashions?

What's a good strategy for [spoiler]making friends[/spoiler] at cons. I don't really have any dedicated weeb friends in my day-to-day life and I'm not exactly the most outgoing person, so I always hope I'll meet someone similar at one of these things but I never manage to do it.

Don't be a creep. Don't be a mouth breather. Don't smell bad. Don't stutter. Don't act like a spaz. Don't needlessly touch someone. Don't invade someones personal space.
Say hello, introduce yourself, state your intent and act like a decent human being.
Alternatively play Sims 3 and follow the general conversation for the fastest friendship Introduce>chat>friendly chat>ask about person>chat more

>See someone cosplaying
>Ask for a photo
>Compliment a part of their costume that looks difficult/looks good

We've got creep thread
We've got embarrassing friends thread
Now let me hear your weeaboo-related horror stories!
Tell me about the guy you knew in high school who stalked you for a year because you were his IRL Madoka-chan.
Tell me about that girl who stabbed you in the leg because she didn't believe you were paraplegic.
Tell me about your next door neighbor who killed their dog to sacrifice him to Dio Brando.
Make my skin crawl, SeaGulls!
As expected if something is just a friend being embarrassing or moderately creepy please post in the other threads.
>be me in 5th grade
>I was the kind of girl who only hung out with boys. 5th grade is the year boys stop hanging out with girls I guess.
> Friends meet jock boy friends and start drifting a part from me.
> Sitting in library alone, drawing Pokemon in my notebook, listening to ToyBox.
> "Have you ever heard of a show called Bobobo-bo-bobobo?"
> Look up, there's a boy sitting in front of me.
> I said no, but he was eager to take me over to the computer lab to show me.
> We laughed together watching this show, until classes started an hour later.
> He said his name was Delucien, but people called him Del. He looked kind of old for an 11 year old. He had matted, greasy, brown hair and dark eyes with bags under them. He always wore sweats to school in a variety of different colors. It would be summer and he still wore sweat pants.
> We started hanging out before school, just watching toonami-esque anime and laughing to ourselves. We became really close friends.
> A year passes and we make friends with a kid named Scott. Scott is a sweetheart 10/10. One of the quiet, loving types. He would give us presents about once a month just because he appreciated our friendship.
> We became drawfags and all sat in a circle doodling and showing each other our drawings.
> Del shows us his Don Patch, which is a circle with some spikes and legs.
> Show them my drawing of May from Pokemon. It's terrible but amongst their scribbles it's pretty good.
> Del takes it, looks at it for a second, crumples it and throws it in the trash.
> Wtf.jpg
> "It was really bad. Let's go watch some youtube videos"
> He shows us things he thinks are funny, the usual randumb XD kind.
>Then he goes into his favorites and clicks on this video where the thumbnail is a on a sidewalk.

> Kitten on the sidewalk
> women in high heels comes along to stomp it to death
> He's dying of laughter.

>Scott starts freaking out, begging Del to stop. Del says no, that its his house and he can watch what he wants and Scott can leave if he doesn't like it.
>Scott does, leaving me and Delucien home alone. He clicks on more videos, laughing histarically, then becoming dead silent.
> I start to watch his face so not to watch the dead fetuses and kittens on screen.
> After watching he goes dead silent. He turns to me."Do you ever get horny?"
> "uh...yeah sometimes"
> "Do you ever get horny over unusual things?"
> Define unusual
> "Sometimes watching people being killed gives me a boner... and Daffy duck"
> I ask to go home.
> The next day Scott comes in with a drawing he made for Del. He felt bad for "being a pussy" the night before and that he's happy to have a unique friend like Del.
> Del lights up.
> Del acts strangely to Scott after that. He follows him around like a lost puppy, invading his personal space at any chance, and saying creepy shit like, "I would die for you, Scott".
> Del comes out as gay. We are not surprised
> One time Scott didn't come to school.
> I asked Del what happened to him, says maybe he's sick.
> "He seemed fine last night at our sleep over"
> Wait...what?
> I call Scott later that night. When he picks up I hear a frail "hello..."
> Ask him why he didn't come to school.
> "I just didn't want to see Del"
> "Why not?"
> He breaks down in tears.
> Last night at the sleep over, Del asked to be Scott's boyfriend. Scared of what will happen, Scott said yes.
> They were watching a movie when Del turned to Scott and said, "You know what we can do now right? We can have sex."
> Del started touching Scott inappropriately, whispering in his ear to do things.
> When Scott refused, Del would say he was gonna murder him.
> "I-I I got scared...He-He told me to...to"
> He starts wailing.
> "H-he made me put his thingy in my mouth" is the last I heard before his mom came in to calm him down, hanging up.

Thanks!
To get some discussion going, are there any particular recent releases which are arustocrat / aristo-able that have gotten you excited? Any new finds that you've been very pleased with?
