What's the best way to make pleather look weathered? It's a shiny silver jacket but I don't want it to look so costumey.
This is kind of a bizarre question but I want to make sure I have the terminology correct. I want to create a dress with that is fitted in the bodice and flares out at the bottom with minimal bulk/gathering at the waist. I think that style of dress would be called an "a-line dress/gown" but I can't seem to find any commercial patterns that look quite right. Is my terminology wrong? Is my google-fu weak?
Pick related is kind of what I'm looking for.
How would I go about making the helmet on this guy? Ive never done anything like it as I mostly work with armor but Id really like to. If anything, anyone know anybody who could make the helmet for a good price?
Also recommendations for the shoulder cape?
I went to my local anime convention yesterday. Took a lot of pictures. Is this the right place to post?

So are they really as bitchy and stuck up as their reputation?
If I visit Russia should I bother trying to meet up with them?

Пpивeт!
I'd never been at foreign cons, so do all the members of my not so little company. And almost everyone of these ladies are pretty nice and friendly.
There are some elitist gals on op-pic and I can't say anything about them bc I hadn't talk with them

I've never been to any of my local comm's (Moscow, to be exact) meetups yet I'm into Lolita for so long, I was thinking about attending the next meetup, but for some reason I don't feel comfortable going there - I'm paranoid that I won't be able to fit in because it feels like everyone knows each other and I'm the one who's "out of nowhere"
We had this thread a while ago, lets bring it back!
ITT post coords (of any style) where the wearer is clearly goth outside of lolita (due to makeup/hair etc)
>let's bring back this niche as fuck thread!
>no thread title
Good luck with that
>>9342707
fuck, I did put a title (it was goth(ic) lolitas)
I have no clue what happened to it

Is it a legitimate substyle?
What do you have to do to make it work?
Post the good and the bad.
Might be cosplay? But was tagged as ero loli.
Looking for inspiration. I see very little of it in general and even less done well.
Last thread. >>9338466
Let's try to derail this one a little less. Okay, gulls?
reminder not to respond to trolls. if you like swallowing bait go to another board, everybody rolls their eyes when you newfags engage.
lowkey getting kicked out of my house by one roommate finding me "too triggering uwu". Meanwhile other roommate is slashing her arms everyday but they've bonded over Pokemon. Feel ostracised and depressed, had a cry today.
At least I can cry into my itabag I'm slowly building my itabags to heal my woes.

No punctuation in this at all, thanks phone. Sorry lol.
Any seagulls heading to Gamescom 2017 in August?
What will you cosplay?
What are you looking forward to the most?
Anyone looking to turn the whole event and the days before/after into a sweet vacation?
FIRE AWAY.
Since I probably won't go to usa this summer I'll finally be able to attend gamescom again! Not sure what I will bring yet, all depends on what kind of transport is available to me at that moment.
>>9338048
I was thinking of making the new WHM outfit of FFXIv. Hope to finish it before Gamescom, but I don't know. I need to learn new skills to make it. Looking forward to the Square Enix stand as usual!
>>9338048
I'd love to go, meet up with friend(s) and hopefully have my FFXIV Black Mage done by then. I planned to finish it by October, but August might be manageable too. All depends on funds and those friends going, though. It would be my first time at the convention and my knowledge of the city isn't good enough to get there by myself...
>>9339316
Would love to see this and all the other SE shit, god.
Is anyone here a cosplaying oldfag? Pic related is from Anime Expo 1998. What was the cosplaying/convention scene like back then? Was it different from now?
>>9332414
>scene
there was no "scene" back then. you just did it and had fun.
>tfw born 10 years too late for the fun era.
These look fun, anyone have their own to share or their favorites?
The con I go to is mostly younger kids and homestuck trash (though it's lessened). What are the guests that more mature, adult anime and fashion fans want to see most? Specifically around the Midwest.
Don't ignore this thread just cause it's a picture of Vic. D:
I'm more interested in brand, designer, and artist guests.
Voice actors are so boring to me, especially since I never even watch dubbed anime.
>>9324370
>brand, designer, and artist guests.
Any particular ones? Would you care if it were the same one over and over, if it were at least a good one (like BABY?)?
So what were some of the more disappointing cons you have ever went to? A con that genuinely made you feel was a genuine waste of cash
Fanime 2016

Anime USA. I wasted 50 or was it 60bux. I honestly could have not paid and not needed to ghost because all the photography was in the hotel area so it was "why the FUCK did I pay for it." The dealers room was worse than a meme and the panels were a "why bother". Anime USA: if they ever move from their hotel there is no reason to go to it,

What about it is fat
>>9291799
my ass cuz im a boy
I didn't see one in the catalog, so can we have a worn thread for pics of worn/coorded dresses we can't seem to find?
First off I'd like to request worn pics of Innocent World's Rose de Mariee.
http://lolibrary.org/apparel/rose-de-mariee-op
I've recently bought it but I can't find a single worn picture of it besides the IW models.
Having a real hard time coording this! Any help is appreciated
>>9277695
I've seen it in the jsk but no op.
I know this dress only barely qualifies as lolita, but any non stock worn pics of Ball of Starlight, especially the wine colorway? I love this dress but have zero clue how to wear it.
