I just bought the AP pink Dressy Time dress. I'm in love. I can't wait to get a parasol to match.

Man I remember that blog collective. Sweet memories

it makes me so sad that lolita blogging seems to be dying. I don't quite understand why. normie fashion blogs don't seem to have an issue integrating with modern social media, why can't lolita make it work?

>>9203467
I think that people are simply losing interest in it. The most well known bloggers (F Yeah Lolita, Parfait Doll, etc.) update sparsely or haven't updated at all in a very long time, and the smaller bloggers either don't provide content that hasn't been covered before or are not well known enough to garner a lot of interest.
It's too bad, really, I do enjoy following blogs about the fashion and reading what people have to say about it.

Why is the art so bad?

Is K-pop anime?

Who the fuck is Rena?

imo:
needs to start in Japan to get the -kei suffix
needs to have a name
needs to have defined rules and/or aesthetics
needs to be worn regularly by at least 10 other people

>>9201553
Does it matter if the trend is "artificial" or not? There was some evidence in the Genderless Kei thread that the trend was engineered on purpose to promote an art book and boy band. It then took off on the streets, but it's origins weren't "organic".

>>9201544
You can use kei for things other than fashion styles, so just because something is ''a kei'' doesn't make it a fashion style. It's sometimes used to describe a trend, it can be used as a promo/buzz word to promote something, music styles can be ''a kei'' (tanbi kei, oshare kei etc). There may be other uses but I don't speak Japanese.

Probably extra salty since CDC is one of my dream dresses, but here we go.

Blouse neck straps are twisted. Would have looked better in longsleeve if they were showcasing the colours in the dress. As it stands, looks out of place. Hairbow is the wrong shade of navy (*autism*) and is not as ornate as the dress.

This could go really well with a better headpiece (with gold accents and maybe some dokidoki star accessories or something similar), a longer blouse and perhaps a more formal hairstyle.

Also, boobloafing but I appreciate how hard that can be to avoid in some dresses. :c

I was talking to my friend about how bad she looked and then she came up to talk to us. I don't think I've ever felt so awkward.

The print looked really faded so I thought it was a replica but then she said she got it in closet child? But she also said she coorded with all black because that's what she had. She then tried to justify the black by saying it matched the navy in the print.

>>9200749
saw this girl at japan matsuri, it really is obvious how much of a replica that dress is. You can clock it a mile away.
Anyway:
1 - better petticoat
2 - coording it with black was a bold move, and might work if there was any black (and yes, she was wearing black, not navy) in the print, but there isn't, so it doesn't really look cohesive as a coord. Coording it with white would have been better, with printed otks or tights. It was pretty warm that day, she could have gone with ankle socks.
3 - that bow. It isn't the colour of the dress so looks really misplaced.

I actually think her hair is alright and I don't mind the glasses, but black just wasn't the right colour for this coord.

>spray on foam
Like the construction foam that expands? That shit is fragile.
>nothing fursuit related
There were a few threads recently but the same old "ew furries" thing is still a thing.

Are these threads allowed? I guess, as long as you can keep it on topic, like talk about construction, tutorials, posting neat suits etc. Anything cosplay-related.
Will people generally like it? No.

>>9199759
Darn, I assumed construction foam was rubbery in texture.
It'd be pretty neat if you could make a fursuit by sticking fur to your skin with something, cutting it off, then holding it together with magnets.
Although magnets really wouldn't make it tight enough.

>>9199752
>Why are fursuits so expensive
Because fur is expensive. It is 2 to 10 times more expensive than regular fabric. They are also usually unique, meaning more craftsmanship has to go in them, so more time, and more money.

>Are fursuit threads allowed?
Yes, but probably not your image since this is a christian board.

>>9196953
we already took a census earlier this year. check the archives for it. the census confirmed that this board is mostly female and a majority of people are here for both jfash and cosplay.

Does anyone know if /cgl/ has the highest amount of female posters over other boards??

I'm male and browse /cgl/ everyday but I don't cosplay or wear jfash.

I hope it goes well with all my heart but have a feeling it won't. Nyaf was one of my first cons and I still miss it

I'm excited and I'll probably go next year since it's right after my deployment.

>>9194378
as long as the tumblr is barely existent it'll be great

I want Magic Amulet. Do both of the JSK's have shirring? It's really dark in the photo to me.

>>9186933
Does anyone know when Rabbit Letter is getting released?

>>9186936
The regular definitely does, the long is too dark on my screen to tell as well, but AP's JSKs usually have shirring

French comic con was incredibly shit last year and looks to be even worse this year, with the retards organizing it raising the prices while ignoring the complains.
I hope it'll crash and burn soon.

>We'll never get back to the Japan Expo / Comic Con golden era

Anyone coming to HeroFestival in novembre ?
It's a pretty based con.

Are there any good French general J-fashion groups?

And some owls.

If anyone is making witch hats, please share. I love them so much and I'm about to start on my own.

I posted the skirt I made with that fabric here

>>>9147426
They didn't bring it back this year. I'm disappointed since I wanted to try making an improved one.

who caught caps of the 15-y.o. pitching a fit to that indie brand owner about her $40 cutsew being "ridiculously expensive"

>>9149992
damn, I missed this too!

>>9149992
> $40 cutsew
Bitch, I've bought blouses from Western stores that were more expensive.

I found Sharpies to be pretty weak dye. If I was cheap alcohol ink should I get some FW?

I'm really digging how this turned out. It's too bad the shop who made this is on hiatus now. There are very few plain bottle molds that can fit larger stickers.

>>9125493
Which shop did you order it from?

I just got an email confirmation on one of my mold orders shipping. So hopefully I'll see it sometime this week. I have another one shipping from China so I don't expect that one till more of the middle of August.
