Forgot to mention this is Victorian Maiden's Rose Lace Rococo Dress. What does the peach colourway typically sell for?

What would be a reasonable asking price for JetJ's La bibliothèque OP with minor damage? I have the op in size 1 in the antique black colourway. However there's a tiny pull in the chiffon fabric, on the chiffon skirt flap. The damage is small, but I don't want to price it too high.

My friend got a gift from a Japanese student. Can anyone help ID this skirt? She thinks it's Btssb.
Thanks!

You can thank the mormons for the Thursday to Saturday nonsense. I went a few times but I never found it as enjoyable as anime conventions.

Ask in the help thread instead of making an entire thread for your one issue.

What I would do is use the patterns on the foam, I'd pick the eva as it works a tad better with worbla as it doesnt warp as bad when in contact with heat. Layer a sheet of worbla over each of the pieces and heat it over them (leave a little bit extra worbla to wrap around the foam a bit to secure it), You should be able to glue and tweak the pieces to make the helmet fit you.
That's what I'd do anyway but I'm a noob when it comes to worbla.
I made a solaire helmet out of craft foam and just layering pva glue to harden it... worked out pretty well.

Probably about as much patience as it took to watch that gif play out.

>>9625989
there are at least 2 threads for you to ask this in, but you had to be a fucking faggot and bump something off the catalog for your own personal thread

Thanks dad ;)

You should probably just sew the bodysuit yourself rather than purchase and modify one (not sure if that's what you wanted since you told us your size). Looks like the crotch is a litter lower and the shoulders a little wider than the body, make sure you leave some extra room in the right areas for the baggy look he has rather than going skintight all around. For the cowl I'd make the "ears" like a plushie, or sculpt them out of foam and put fabric over them if they're supposed to be firm (though If they're squishy you'll still need reinforcement so they aren't flopping over). Not sure about the boots but if you buy & modify you might want to buy a size or two larger than yours and stuff them since his boots are huge. As for making things look identical, measure carefully.

Literally two threads to post your question to but you went right for making one for yourself.
Next time look at the goddamn catalog before asking for help.

awts my bad

14-34 is fine for anime conventions

>>9624682
>younger people in their 20s
l m a o
Worse. Most con-goers are in their teens.

But yeah, at my last con I met two people in their 30s, one 33 and one 39.
Above that is a bit weird at anime cons, but very normal at comic cons. Not sure about game cons, I imagine they have the same age groups as anime cons.

When I go to cons I see mostly people in their 30s+. Many of the friends I have made through the years are in their 40's and 50's, my mom goes to cons still and she is almost 70.

It really just depends on your group of friends and what you personally want to do. Having younger friends is fine, I have had older friends since I was much younger, after a certain point age is not really a factor in friendships, but maturity is.

For instance my idiot "friend" is way too fucking old to be hanging out with young adults, he is nearing 50 and insists on acting like a 15 year old repressed nerd boy, and insists that "older people just don't get him". When the reality is that older people get him just fine, he is just an idiot and kind of an asshole. He has no ability to tell the difference between a mature young person and an insufferable weeb, because he himself is an insufferable weeb, and has no interest in learning anything about the friends he makes beyond surface level shit. Like he knows a cute girl who once cosplayed from some show, so now in his mind that is all she likes and does, even YEARS later when she has almost forgotten the costume. Also, he still thinks that nerd girls are rare gems, and one of these days he is seriously going to get in trouble when he buys the wrong 19 year old a bottle of booze.

My other friend however is just turning 21, but she fits in well with an older crowd because she is mature and knows how to not act like a socially inept asshole. If she goes drinking with us she knows we are just out to get a little buzzed and not to get drunk, she can handle being a goofy person but is not an insufferable weeb. She likes conversations and the same stuff we like to do at cons, it works out because we have the same interests.

FYI, I mostly attend sci fi and comic book conventions where the crowd is likely to be older. Anime cons often have younger attendees, but I still find most of what I said to be true.

Anyone who calls themselves "Princess" is a red flag. That relationship isn't going to last.

She thinks she can become a multi millionaire from her cosplay online store in 5 years. Which doesn't exist yet.

This whole thing feels like $100% real material that was designed to cause 2 reactions
1 - "dump him how dare he. YAAAS SLAY GIRL"
2 - "WTF are you thinking you dumb bitch?"
and start an internet fight

Reposting from last thread.

Tinfoil hat time: what if AP USA just lied about Lynda being gone in order to protect their sales and reputation?

>>9622797
I worried about this, too. Seeing as how she has been reported multiple times over the years for her behavior and all of a sudden this was the straw that broke the camels back? I don't believe it. I don't believe she got fired. It's too much of a liability for AP USA.

Get some gloves to match your top.

You're better off posting in the help thread.

There really is no "good enough" for cosplaying at cons. So long as there's nothing downright embarrassingly awful about it (which there doesn't seem to be) you'll be fine. There's probably things you can improve upon but yeah- just ask in the help thread.

Never make a thread for yourself. Use the catalog and ctrl+f help, as you might with questions on any board.
