Old one died and I needed to get this out
>Have friend
>Sweetest girl ever talented UX designer
>But also overweight and makes terrible cosplay choices
>She posts progress photos for Miss Monochrome costume made purely from duct tape
>Pretty much as bad as it sounds
I'm caught in this weird feeling of I know this is a failure that deserves to be shared on cgl. but if she ever found out she got posted and ridiculed she would be humiliated. But her costumes are never really good and we aren't close enough to the point I should be trying to guide her. She's unfortunately also being influenced by this terrifying local hambeast cosplayer with a ton of chubby chaser followers who loves making duct tape cosplays of things that don't deserve to be duct tape. I'm just rambling now but it really is terrible. Imagine a duct tape dress form for a short obese girl but it's made to look like Rin Kagamine's Meltdown dress.
>found out a friend of mine is also a cosplayer
>go on her cosplay page
>some really cute cosplays
>but mostly lingerie shoots with FiveRings
>replies to thirst comments on her photos with flirty comments and winking faces
>mfw she goes out of her way to tell me that it's for her own pleasure and not for male validation despite that I didn't even question her about it.

Huehue.

I went looking through old cosplay photos tonight after years and years. Most of them come from back when I struggled with an eating disorder. I realize now how very thin I was and hate that I spent so much time obsessing over feeling otherwise when I might have been able to appreciate my cute little figure had I not, you know, had a disorder.
But I also feel kind of gross now. I've put on weight, both fat and muscle, as I've gotten better over time, and while I'm a healthier weight now, I would never look as good in some of these costumes. I feel fat and mostly hide that in lolita these days. I miss cosplay but am afraid I'd get weird and obsessive again if I tried to slim down, like I'd constantly be comparing to when I was sick but small.
Most of you thought lucky pack season was over - and obviously we're wrong. AP USA newsletter #3 announced new lucky packs.
Otherwise, post hauls, reviews, and horror stories.
>>8825103
Is this in store only? Also does someone have that bodyline sleeves lucky pack story?
>>8825122
Yes I believe so, in the newsletter this is all that's said, so It's a safe assumption it's instore only.
Did someone took the risk with bodyline this year? Just curious, want to see more IW too

I wanted those shoes, but everyone and their mother has them so now.... I don't.
Since salty anons were complaining in the dream dress thread.
Paid more than I wanted to for Dream Fantasy because of my SS fucking up the snipe. Kind of salty about it but I got Queen of Snow for a decent price so I suppose I can't complain.
Also snagged Sweetie Chandelier recently, which I'm pleased about.
Cinderella jewelry OP in blue
Cameo window OP in wine
Metamorphose pintuck jsk in black
I know they're somewhat common, I'm just waiting on the price to be right lol
No this is bullshit, you can post tiers in the dream dress thread, that's what it's fucking for. We don't need two threads for this, stop trying to make it happen.
Jesus, I wish we could sage still.
>>8826728
Apparently not according to salty anons.If you don't like the thread just don't post in it.
Didn't see one in the catalog.

Ask your stupid Lolita/Cosplay/Jfash questions that don't belong anywhere else.
On Wunderwelt, what does "width"? Where are they getting that measurement?
>>8801667
I'm pretty sure that's the bust measurement (measured flat).
Does anyone have a really straight forward, explain-like-i'm-five tutorial on how to sew armatures into a wig?
I've honestly never made anything myself cosplay wise before but this is my year.
Reminder; Today's the day!
Hope you're all well rested and ready to explore this years Anime LA in sunny southern California!
Have a great and safe con guys
Checked the forecast. Looks like the high today is suppose to be 75. Sounds like it should be a nice day. I'm finishing up my costume today, for tomorrow.
Should we show up in cosplay for the meetup?
Con filtering people through the center in one spot no signage stating as such.

Her waist is shooped. You can tell by the blur on her back.
The old thread died
I'm curious -
Nobody likes everyone, but do you like your local community overall? Why/why not?
What would you do to change it?
Even if there are problems, are you glad you joined?
i want to leave my community and become a lone lolita. the ones in my community i thought were my friends turned out to be backstabbing bitches and tried to turn more girls against me so i cant trust them. even though its a big city it feels like its the regulars who hate me and i dont know why they're doing this. i havent gone to any meets in months because i dont want to see them but its annoying because i want to wear my dresses out. i just dont like wearing them alone because of all the questions i get. theres another community but its 3-4 hours away, but they seem nicer. think its worth it?
I live in kind of a weird area, all of the closest comms to me are 2.5-3 hours away. I personally think it's kinda far to drive by myself with my busy schedule. Is this a normal amount of time to travel for a comm? I was kind of thinking trying to start a comm closer to where I live, but I don't want to be seen as a special snowflake. What do I do? Anyone I know in irl that is into Lolita is in these far away comms.
I'm techicilly in two different comms, but i mostly go to one over the other. Not saying i like that comm more, i've just made more friends in the another comm. My home comm is sweet and accepting(so is 2ndcomm) but i don't really connect that much with the girls though.
Moving into a new place next month and need some inspiration. Post some lolita inspired bedrooms or post your own!

I'm only a little bit taller than you so I hope it looks ok.
How long did it take to get to you? I've been checking the tracking and it nothing is really being updated. Am I just not checking it correctly?
I don't even have anything to match these tights right now, but when I have money planning to find/get a Wonder Queen special set that I've been wanting. The tights would look great with that.

Okay this is the first time I've seen this before. Listing claims the $5.81 option is sold out but it's still got active stock. All the other sizes are $21 USD or so.
I ended up buying the "out of stock" one just to see if they'd honor my purchase. Odds are they'll refund me and make up an excuse.
>>8767955
or they'll send you a smaller size.
>>8767990
Maybe but the smaller sizes were over triple the cost. The one I ordered is a bit too big for me anyway but I'll definitely take it if they honor the transaction.
General discussion for creating a productive and lively EGL community on G+ reminiscent of LiveJournal's Golden Days.
>>8834090
We'd have better luck trying to make something out of the Reddit lolita group than trying to do anything with G+ desu. No one uses G+.
>>8834090
This makes me wish wardrobe posts had been on g+.
>+1 photos you like
>browse your past +1's for easy inspiration
>>8834106
The reddit lolita group is another one I'm pretty active in but honestly it's filled with newbies who dislike criticism.
/cgl/ confession/secrets thread, haijmaruyooo
(you guys know the drill, post confessions that are related to cosplay and lolita or even other jfashions)
I have a bad habit of internet stalking.
I don't know how or why but sometimes i just get stalker-ish on facebook and just stalk some lolita's facebook, her wardrobe album,...
It's kinda fun actually? Oh god. I feel bad saying this. Off course in real life i'm a totally normal girl and act perfectly normal, i am actually shy and don't talk a lot and they all find me cute, nobody would suspect me doing such things.
i often daydream of stealing in lolitas' closets at night and just selling the dresses for money and nobody would never know about this.
Actually i daydream quite a lot, sometimes just by looking at a print and i can daydream for an hour, once, i opened my lolita wardrobe and stared at it and began daydreaming again for one entire hour.
I get super salty when my coords don't receive enough attention. I compare the likes I get on CoF and tumblr to other people. I hate it when someone who has a bad outfit, photo or just posted something very uninteresting gets a ton of likes while my posts get overlooked. I don't mind if someone better than me does better, but I hate it when it feels very undeserved.
