Yes, but it gets frustrating to wade through the hordes of retarded 13-years-olds who think a skirt made from an old Walmart bedsheet can be totes Harajookoo

>>9248114
there's only a couple members who post worthy coordinates. everyone else on there is garbage

more of us are on the lolita amino

I am. It's worth every second of delicious agony wading through the awful stuff.

>So now that Halloween is over, what do you guys think about all those Harley quinn cosplayers taking over conventions and shit?
Every year has its own hand full of "popular/hyped" characters that get cosplayed to death. I can see why people cosplay those characters (riding the hype train for your fans, genuine love for the character, easier to do group cosplays with), but personally seeing so many of the same character just makes me stop noticing them altogether. Well, unless they are pulled off really good in both costume and act (if any).

As a fatty-chan it does piss me off when good looking woman wear a shitty costume and get tons of likes.
Because that makes several men think that girls need to be attractive in order to cosplay, and think it's ok to hate on any cosplayer that doesn't forfill their fantasy. Whether it's a girl being too fat or flatchested. But yeah sex sells, my only cleavage pic has at least twice as many views as any of my other ones.

TerraCon is soon, but not many updates. What do you think?

They even shooped out the drag lines and wrinkles for the package, but included the unshooped pictures on the website?

To be fair, Yaya's coat one is ill-fitted to her as well.

I wouldn't be shocked if JNig slapped her name on some kind of belly dancer/pokemon pattern.

>>9246674
You don't.

>>9246674
Be attractive. Failing that, be well-groomed but not formal to the point where you're wearing a suit and fedora without it being cosplay.

>>9246674
Post in the forum before the con, volunteer, go to anything interactive. Take photos and post them afterwards on the con FB, asking people to tag themselves. It's a process.

Ok so I'm with you on the rest of this, she's a fucking shitbag and god bless you and your comm for babysitting her weeb ass, but here, right fucking here, is where you all should've told her the fuck off.
>1. Our comm has a rule against people under 16 and we have generously allowed you to stay
>2. You have on more than one occasion in this meetup alone publicly embarrassed us
>3. You insisted on coming along to eat at a restaurant where you did not have enough money to pay for the food you bought

>What you need to do, cringe-chan, is call your mommy or whoever your guardian is, and tell them you're at a restaurant and can't cover the rest of your bill, and then tell them to pick you up. If they want to know why, we will be glad to let them know.

pastel goth is not jfash

Lor's channel got me in to lolita for the first time! I'm on the lookout for new channels too~~

I follow quite a lot but they are mostly japanese.

I have my YouTube location set to Japan so I get a lot of makeup channels in the suggestions but kawaii ones seem to be rare in comparison to gal.

>>9243501
i really like Beckii, she does some lolita but mostly j fash stuff and some makeup

Hard mode: no meta

>>9242823
Hello Anna

>>9242823
i love this oops

I'm assuming they may not be getting renewed due to all the trouble they've caused? can't have a cosplay contest through conventions if no con will host you.
I hope they overhaul the management.

>>9235434
Oh god I hope so too.

Lmao finally. WCS was dying in the USA anyway.

I'm going to crossplay for Halloween which might be a little rougher and less tolerant than crossplaying at a con.

Hold me.

>>9215449
In my experiences, Halloween leaves lower expectations, and that makes it easier to dress up without going the full 9 yards just to go out for a day. But I do agree that it can get rough, especially with alcohol involved.

How skinny do you need to be to crossplay successfully

Ooh, great, I just needed this thread
So I'm getting this JSK and vest, because I kinda fell in love with it, but I'm really unsure about how to coord it. I'm generally pretty bad when it comes to coording, but usually I can just go of the print of the dress...

I'm not sure if I should go with wine or brown for shoes or something else
I made a quick collage with the ideas I have, if anyone could give me some concrit or ideas, I'd appreciate it a lot!

Also, I know nothing really matches, I'll obviusly make sure the things I get actually match, I just wanna know what colors to go with, and what style on the shoes...

Oh, and lastly, all the shoes except the bodyline boots come in both brown, navy and wine, so I can pick them in different colors

>inb4 shit taste or whatever
Yes I know, that's why I'd prefer to get other peoples thoughts before ordering..

>>9204670
I think coording primarily with wine will look great. I like both of the heels you have posted, more than the boots.

The obligatory makeup test.

>>9196092
>obligatory
Do you even know what this means?

>>9192141
The makeup is well done and cute but does not read toriel in the slightest

>>9192141
>mfw i thought this was another shironuri thread because it took me a while to read it as toriel
sad

>>9192141
OH MY GOD ITS THE FANCY TORIEL

>>9248506
I think its possible to find cardigans and blouses at non-lolita stores, but you have to have a good idea for what details make an item "loliable" or be craft-y enough to add things yourself. I think its probably something that beginners shouldn't try.

That being said H&M and Forever 21 have some suitable blouses and H&M has some sweaters that are decent.

OP here. Inspired to make this thread because I found a bunch of frilly socks at walmart this weekend on clearance. Would love to see how other gulls supplement their wardrobes! I dress in mostly casual cute and himekaji.

>>9248506
basics like camis, socks, and the like are cheaper to buy in a normalfag store than to import. like >>9248540 said, you can find nice cardigans, sweaters, and sometimes accessories (mostly hats and jewelry) from normalfag places.

I have several of Kate Spade's novelty purses that I use for jfash as well. They've got a really cute pastel cross body this month that looks like a makeup palette.
