New feels thread, now with more feelsy feels.
Last one is autosagging.
Contribooting:
>feeling so roneri and so sad
>asperger so relationships are emotionally draining as hell + scared of sex
>very little friends because i'm bad at being social,met them all by internet
>they all live far away if they are in my country at all
I only have animu,lolita,... in my life. I don't know what to do, i just feel so sad. I tried groups but i only attract weirdos and real weebs.
I just want someone special or a small group of friends to weeb out with, be close to them,...
I'm depressed.
>>9078542
Are you me, anon? You're me, aren't you?
>>9078542
We will weeb out with you anon. Keep reaching out to people and things will get better.
>Find out that there was massive family dramu before i was born that resulted in an older brother (15 years older than me) being taken away from my parents
>Grandma finally let it slip while drunk, good old alcoholic elderly relatives
>Hesitate about trying to track him down because i think he might not want to meet someone associated with the family/worried i will just be dragging up bad memories
>Eventually do it, find him and contact details, only lives about 45 mins away by train.
>Send him an email since it seems like the least invasive way of contacting him
>He replies!!! After a few weeks of emailing and calls (1st phone call so awkward) go to meet him and we get coffee in the morning then end up spending all day together, get on well
>Next week visit again and go to his home and meet his partner too (but not daughter as he wanted me to meet partner before daughter), see that there is one of those kids sewing machines at there house and ask about it
>They had just got it for their 12 year old daughter because she said she wanted to try making toys and clothing, but neither of them know much about sewing/craft
>SUPER HYPED BECAUSE I KNOW THIS SHIT, offer to teach her if they and she would like that
>Going to go and stay with them for the weekend in 2 weeks time to go teach my niece who i only found out about weeks ago to make cute shit
i'm so excited gulls, I've only ever used my sewing/craft skills for cosplay and now i will hopefully be able to use it to bond with my new-found relatives! They showed me her room and some photos of her and stuff so since then i've been collecting some fabric and patterns for simple clothes and teddys and things that i think she will like. She seems really sweet and my brother and his partner are so nice, it's way better than i dared to hope for when i found out i have a brother. I honestly thought i would get no response or a rejection or something!

talk about your comms, don't single anyone out, etc etc
How often does your comm organize meetups? Can anyone organize it, or are certain people (ex: mods) only allowed to put them together? Do the frequency of meetups change with the seasons/weather?
>>9078111
My comm is a bunch of fucking noobs. Everyone is allowed to organize but barely ever anyone does. It is very difficult to be a lolita where I live due to the economic crisis, so I don't expect much to be honest
>>9078111
My comm is pretty big so we have pretty frequent meetups
-We have regular monthly meetups (unless something comes up, in which case we move it some other time in the month)
-Anyone can organize any kind of meetup based on pretty much anything- themes, high tea, picnics, whatever
-I've noticed more meetups in the spring/summer when the weather is nicer and when more people are out of school/are taking more vacation time
Ever since I went to a convention recently, I've been wanting to start a small business based around 3D printing props, accessories, etc. for cosplays. Do you think there's a demand for this? Things like pins, decals, maybe masks or weapons if I ever get around to it. Would you personally be interested in 3D printed cosplay gear?
I work with 3D printers (Engineering, I help designing and programming them).
We also print custom parts, and they are usually small pieces and really expensive, as 3D printing takes a lot of time. We can charge like 20€ for a 5*10cm part, I'm also in an europoor country, so I guess that in America this would be a lot more, and it takes about 10h to be printed, depending on the detail level.
I don't really think that someone would prefeer something like this (time/cost/quality wise) over other methods
>>9077093
That why I was intending to do pins and decals; add detail to a cosplay without being overly large or expensive. Things like a brooch, hairpin, chest decals, etc.
I have a printer of my own so I know the time it takes. The booth I saw also did "finishing" of parts, in the sense that they sanded/painted them lightly to prepare the for additional work on the customer's side.
Another thing with 3D printing is that I would assume that people would sometimes prefer it due to the custom aspect of it - i.e., "that specific part available online is too big/too small/too ugly, could you make X for me" or "I want this but with Y change to it". I might be wrong, though.
I already do for some cosplay props I've made in the past. Though I simply printed them in the colours I wanted, I didn't cast/sand them or such.
I'd like to learn how to though.
Didn't see one in the catalog, so new eBay thread?
I was wondering if anyone has a link to these shoes on eBay. I rather not buy from aliexpress if I don't have to.
>>9076856
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Girls-Bowknot-Faux-Suede-Sweet-Candy-mary-Janes-Chunky-Heel-Shoes-34-43-/171769893282 there's multiple listings of them, I just grabbed this one. When you get them could you do a review?
The badly paired gold shoes edition
Last thread: >>9070821
>>9074597
this is like... so many trends and things people do in lolita that i hate rolled up into one coord
I like how this looks but I don't like the hat. Personal nit pick.
>>9074597
The gold shoes aren't the problem, since she's trying to pick up the "golden frame" in the picture.
The bows don't match pefectly and look so random.
The lace cardigan is way too classic for a galaxy print. She should wear a blouse instead or look for a more fitting cardigan.
The star socks match the theme, but they look too casual for lolita and are not necessary when wearing tights.
The necklace is out of place. Just like the Luna and Artemis buttons on the waist.
The hair isn't the best for lolita. Short hair rarely looks good in lolita, and when it does it's usually some curly ends or a nice bob. Her hair looks more scene, it's too straight.
It's just not a very polished look.
Why isn't there a thread about this yet? Can I just not find it?
Thoughts?
Anyone here going to enter?
I can't wait to witness the drama this is going to cause. I really hope some kick as creators join this and wreck all the worbla boob armor I am already seeing entering.
Whats going on? Info?
>>9072596
You stream your costume progress, then enter the finished costume.
Hey gulls,
What are your thoughts on using shape wear to help get the figure you want or need for cosplay/jfashion? Any particular products you'd recommend? Any horror stories?
>>9072441
If you have a big bust then a binder is pretty much necessary for most lolita dresses. Underworks has a really great one for ~$30 I think. I don't care if you use shapewear or not, I personally prefer it because it smooths everything out for both cosplay and lolita.
>>9072447
Ppl need to stop with the binder for lolita thing. It looks like shit, and gives you worse boob loaf in my opinion. Speaking from experience with 32g tits.
>>9072465
Just because it looks like shit on you doesn't mean it looks like shit on everyone.
Anyone got some horrible experiences with photographers?
Not really horror but
>Cosplaying at local con
>signs everywhere stating rules, big sign in entry way of con
>Typical things of no real weapons, alcohol, drugs
>In game Hall just watching friends play game, guy standing off to the side with camera
>Figure he's just taking photos for the con, people playing games ect
>See him bend down, sifting through his bag
>Stealthy like a ninja, slowly pulls out a little bottle of whiskey and starts drinking before quickly putting it away
>Wat the fuk lol
>Turns to me with camera asking if he could get a photo of my costume, agree
>Takes the photo, goes on his separate ways
Just thought it was funny seeing someone sneak in alcohol and visibly drink it

Why do you guys spend so much time bashing the people who make you look good?

how many underage girls have you molested this past week? be honest
Cammy cosplay was forced to cover up at a convention cause a random group of Smash Bros fans reported her to con ops for being too revealing. Was given the ultimatum of cover up or be removed from the con.
This is the future of conventions now, if you plan on doing any revealing cosplay at AX I'd suggest doing a photoshoot away from the convention as to avoid getting reported. I think this will become a big issue for small cons but too hard to control for large cons.
>>9070783
Cammy is pretty revealing but don't most cons have a age restriction like 14+ ? Plus fu for bringing your children to a cosplay convention. Cosplay is serious business not a fun carnival for children, duh
>>9070783
>LEGS
Yeah... no. You know that's not what Cammy is known for.
People like her take the risks then get pissy when they're told to cover. Boohoo
Windy summer days are coming and as a lot of us wear skirts but don't want to flash everyone, let's have a thread about bloomers and similar pieces (pic related). No matter if Lolita, Fairy Kei, Ouji or Larme, every style is welcome.
Topics:
>Styles you use them for
>Favorite brands for bloomers
>Quality comparisons
>Bloomer suggestions for tall people (asian brand ones love to be too small on average)
I've recently started using bloomers with pockets while wearing lolita. It might be a bit too awkward for keeping your phone in but it's a pretty safe place to keep IDs or credit cards, just make sure you don't take them out where the public can see you and be discreet about it.
What do you all recommend for shorter dresses? I wear shapewear from Uniqlo (pic related) but it goes down to mid-thigh. I don't wear many things shorter than that but when I slightly bend some shapewear peeks out from underneath.
I also seldom wear form-fitting dresses that benefit from shapewear so I feel I'm squeezing into something uncomfortable just for the sake of not flashing my undies.
Post the best Persona/Catherine/Atlus cosplay, selfposts welcome

??????????
Most guests have been announced, the panel list is out, and the cons only a few months away.
Discuss away
Glad to see theyre getting rid of trend fandom panels.
Someone come with me to the JoJo panel so we can laugh at obese tumblr fakebois
Panels shown so far are somewhat blah, the guests are boring and I might be in the minority about this but I hate the current venue.
I wish there was another large anime con in town to keep San Japan on it's toes and more interesting.
When's Third Strike?
Can't seem to find the last one.
>Cos progress?
>Neko Nation?
>Upcoming cons?
>Inevitable drama?
>>9062882
Last one for removed. Too much ns about beke. Nothing new
Perth nova soon what's the latest drama?

Miss point anon here, the items have been sent to me so I should receive them soon.
>>9032478 asked me for a review of the shoes. I got them today(had to split the order because reasons), pic related is what they look like irl. Pretty comfy considering they were dirt cheap but make sure you go up a size. The only thing that caught me is the fact that it's not a true buckle fastener on the shoe, instead there is some sort of hook contraption that secures the buckle and strap together. I'll take pics of it later. Other than that though I'd definitely recommend them for the price I paid!
>Pays for order and shipping a week ago
>Buynosaur still hasn't shipped
>Send multiple e-mails and messages, apparently neither are being seen
>Absolutely need these items by the end of the month
I tried to be nice and try them out, and I get they're swamped, but how hard can it be to ship out a package and be done with it?
didn't see one, let's start it up.
