A man will tell you to use google

You've asked this before, fucker. I recognize you. Did they let your ban up?

Anyway, it's a simple robe. The pattern would be mostly rectangles with a hood. As the other anon said, Google is your friend.
You don't need a specific pattern for this specific robe.

Omg not you again

Thanks for that! I'm not doing them in series so I need to check out how to go around it. smaug worked with parallel but in a lower amount... We'll see how it goes.

Well he could use his real hair if he grows it more and curl his hair. Possibly he could dye it a bit blonder. Also some fresh look contacts in turquoise if you wanna be picky on the eyes.

But either way, he's cocky to claim 'official Dutch'.

If you're putting the batteries in parallel just add the capacity of all batteries together and use that value. Or do a timed (stress) test, that never hurts and if it does at least you won't have to fix it out in the field.

This was done ironically a few times by a few girls. It's not a thing. Don't we have enough trouble with itas and weebs as it is without play-acting as them? Most Embarassing Behavior (attempt). I'd rather a god-tier lolita coords thread, we have not had one in a long time.

>>9345981
Depends on the specific costume.
Some standards are:
Deodorant
Phone charger with block and external battery
Menstrual products and pain reliever
Contact case, rewetting drops, and fluid if you're wearing lenses
Setting powder
Blotting paper
Eyelash glue (if you're wearing them) and someplace to put them if you need to take them off
Lipstick to touch up if you're wearing it
Adhesive (pros-aide, spirit gum, sock glue, etc) if you've stuck something to your body
Other makeup products for touch ups and the tools to apply them
Mini sewing kit and spare buttons
Super glue
Any medications you may need to take
Water
Cash
Comfortable shoes if your costume ones are restrictive or uncomfortable
A sports bra or some other kind of back-up bra if you're crossplaying and need to take off your binder
Stain remover pen

This can all fit into one big tote:

Wig cap
Wig net/bag when you take your wig off
Fluid and a container for contact lenses
Makeup remover (either in a bottle or as wipes)
Makeup
Painkillers
Snacks
Dress tape
Duct tape
Hocky tape
Sewing kit including buttons, swatches of fabric, snap buttons, safety pins, bobby pins, thread in different colours, fishing line, needles, scissors, white acrylic paint, makeup sponges, brushes fr paint and makeup, q-tips
Hairspray
Tiny mirror
Napkins
Bandaids
Change of clothes
comfy shoes

Extra:
Folder for artists' alley
Tote for shit you buy
Powerbank/charger
Water
Allergy pills
PMS products

I'd add:

Scissors (amazing how often I used to forget those)
A spool of each thread I used on the costume (not just the 12 that come with the sewing kit)
Wig Tape (because it will stick anything to your skin, including bits of costume that want to slip)
Five minute epoxy (in case the superglue doesn't have the right surfaces to grip to)
Permanent Marker
Granola bars

Optional depending on costume:
Paint pens (black and white)
A small amount of wire and some pliers

And I always have a pocket knife with me, con or no con.

Hi, I'm here!

Are you cosplaying?/ Did you go to Nebraskon?

I'll probably check it out with my bar set pretty low. Sucks that the zen garden is gone, though.

>>9322305
Yep, rehashing a few old ones
>>9324726
Anyone know what they replaced it with?

wait hol up a joint convention

I'm cautiously optimistic about a name as big as Crunchyroll getting involved in cons. Those two together is going to either be an amazing con or Dashcon Goes Large.

I thought this would happen eventually. At this point CR is no doubt the biggest player in the NA anime business. Still i genuinely want to know what they mean by saying this will be different than other cons

I miss when OTT wasn't the norm.
When owning brand was only a dream because nowhere shipped outside of Japan so you appreciated every single piece you had.
When knock-offs were few and far between.
When gothic was the most popular style (I like sweet too but it definitely changed the whole fashion in a certain way).

Everyone being less visibly salty. Once the FB groups got going, the sodium is a bit much.

OTT sweet being the style. It's what got me into the fashion, and to me there's something so fun looking about carefully piling accessories onto every part of you.I know its not completely dead, but 2010 OTT sweet looks so much more fun and street fashiony than OTT princess sweet

>Any photogs to avoid

All jokes aside, this is why the community is so plagued with bad photographers.

Wondering if I should travel from New York for this with only a month's notice or pass and wait for next year.

Apparently, I'm spoiled from having Momocon, Dragoncon, and AWA all in my backyard for years. I guess people in New York travel out of state for AB and Katsu as a general practice?

I'm just worried its going to be a waste of time and money considering I have no hotel, have not paid for any transport or badge, and have no friends in NY or MD that I know that cosplay or go to cons.

If I do go, I'm not going to wear anything new or spectacular, maybe some retro shit nobody will get like Golden Boy or Gundam Wing.

>>9319641
Working on Eros Yuri and fixing up some wigs.
Not sure on photogs to avoid (since I don't deal with them), but I'm tired off their drama clogging up the thread. Take it to the photog thread.
>>9319853
That's a tough call, especially if you don't have any friends going. If you really want, make sure you have enough funds and try to secure a room asap.

I love gothic wardrobe posts so I'm looking forward to those.
Hoping for a few old school ones as well.
And that girl with the all black wardrobe, gosh I loved that one.

>>9308554
this is the dream tbqh

>>9308576
I know, right?
Just had to save that picture when I saw her post last(?) year.
Don't remember her username, sadly.

If they don't arrive by next week I would contact them.

Deets on these lenses (or anything similar that can handle a high prescription)

To get the ball rolling on some discussion, some things to think about. When did the style start to decline in popularity? Was it in any way connected to the decline in popularity of Gothic Lolita, as the Sweet substyle rose in popularity? How abouts do you think that Aristocrat / EGA could try and make a comeback?

aristocrat without the visual gothic influence is just neo-victorian. its decline is because lolita lost touch with its visual kei side and fell in love with prints.

it is also not a label that is used by Japanese brands outside of Moitie, and as Moitie diminished in quality and popularity there have been 0 brands and 0 models and 0 street snaps and 0 fashion editorials branded "aristocrat."

(ctd.)

that lack of exposure, compared to things like lolita or even larme, means nobody is likely to encounter the concept in the wild as a new or current "happening" thing. also, androgyny has fallen out of favor as the type of people who might have once liked a dark, mature androgynous look are encouraged by social media to make androgyny their identity and be feminine and kawaii about it.

those are some of my theories anyway

Black because black goes with everything

>>9348147
nooo but srsly what shade of pink or blue :cc

>>9348143
cmon anon this is like...basic lolita 101. "what colors should my shoes be with this mostly sax dress with pink and gold accents?"

pink. sax. gold. if you were really clever you could even do royal blue (pulling from the bows on the keys) but since you're asking this question, you probably aren't.
