I am here.. there's like 200 people on the U.S. at most...

Did anyone send modeling application for j-fashion fair? They were supposed to inform the models already and I would like to know if they only sent the emails to those who were selected. I'm just too embarassed to ask if I wasn't selected. I don't want to seem stupid or confident.

Finally a Finland thread! I'm not sure where to ask this since Aniki is pretty dead and Kazoku foruumi doesn't work on my phone (is it dead?). Assuming this place is much more active considering Finnish cosplay and cons than any others.

What is the conseus of bought cosplays? I can't sew or anything and I was thinking of buying my forst cosplays. Do people look down on you if you tell them (if they ask whether you made it or if you bought it) that you bought it. I was thinking of first buying the cosplay that resembles the character the best, then buy items and textiles to enchance it.

From the looks of it most ready to be bought cosplays lack wigs, shoes or props, so I could start to look for those or try to make them myself.
Basicly my thought is this, starting with bought cosplays and add missing parts and make it the best I can. Then progress little by little by doing props by myself, fixing the character wigs, putting more and more effort on doing most of the cosplay by myself and relying on bought coslays less.

>TL:DR What is the conseus of bought cosplays?

Hui wrote an interesting blogpost on the topic. http://www.karikari.fi/?p=4925

Are you seriously trying to do this again? Get over trying to create drama. No one cares about our lame cons you cringefest.

OT but at first I thought this was a /pol/ invasion thread.

That website is bizarre, why mention that the convention center your con is in is up to any "standards" or hosts "tens of conventions" is that all supposed to be impressive?

I've never seen other cons bring up their convention space in that manner

September 1 coming up soon, anyone looking for cute things?

I'm keeping an eye out for the marine love live cosplay.

Speaking of bodyline bags, they used to have really cute bags shaped like different things (strawberries, teddy bears, design replicas). The older bodyline bags I have are pretty good quality too. I wish they'd do more of them! Totes aren't really my style

Yeah their bags always smell like ass

I would use a ribbon waist tie. Just make the ribbon cute so that it looks like it 's part of the outfit.

Does anyone have advice/tutorials for sewing off the shoulder puff sleeves like this? I'm wondering how I should place them against the bodice for maximum comfort/mobility since it's for a project I'll likely be wearing all day at a renfest.

This is gonna be my very first SacAnime.
What should I expect in terms of lines, crowds, dealers hall, are the people there usually pretty lively?
I've only ever been to Fanime before and the energy at Fanime is usually pretty good, even if the last two cons weren't as interesting in terms of guests and panels and all that.

>what are your plans?
Cosplay and let my ego skyrocket.

>>9150068
Going to be in the artist alley again this year. Hoping for a good time and good sales.

>>9150145
The crowd is young I think its high school and early 20s. The energy is pretty lively but more in that hyperactive teenager lively as opposed to con lively. There much less interesting "inbetween" goings on then say Fanime so its harder to pass the time simply wandering around. I do recommend having a game plan and to prepare for the heat. Sacramento is notoriously hot and even the two block distance most hotels have is pretty brutal.


Also you're going to need to work a lot harder to find food.

There's Jasper from Steven Universe but if you're not into Overwatch you're probably not gonna like her either.

Maybe look through the list here and maybe there'll be a character that you like.

Sage for this post being relatively unhelpful.

It's kind of lame, but I'm going to be doing umbreon for myself, eevee for my child. I have some pieces from my first attempt at umbreon, which was pretty lackluster but had decent furry bits, which I'm going to cannibalize and improve. I was going to use some old pajamas to make the ears/tail for eevee, but the faux fur was damaged in the wash, so I'm looking for other fabric. The light bits are a sherpa-type, so I'm trying to find the perfect fabric with a similar texture for the brown bits.

Hopefully it's okay. I don't want to wind up in the bad cosplay thread, but I also don't want to put a ton of time and money into these costumes.

Did anyone else go to the PokeGo event at Little Tokyo on Sunday?

Also am planning on doing a Pokemon professor group for Anime California maybe.

>>9124620
Haven't played the Pokemon Go game yet (no phone), but I do like the trainer designs and my roommate's been playing it non-stop. I might make costumes from the game for us.

I like the official AX groups but their skirts are way too long. Was that a thing the company decided?

>>9118195
All of them have fugly faces. What the fuck? They're supposed to be pretty soldiers, not homely soldiers.

>>9118196
can't think of any other examples offhand but in the manga usagi is described as very average. that's part of her appeal as a character, she isn't particularly beautiful or intelligent or graceful but her friends love her anyway.
