Vivien Leigh's wardrobe in GWtW is a huge inspiration for me. I wish big southern belle hats were a thing in lolita.

saving money because i've been to too many cons already this year

Have a ton of plans, but I already have a ton of fabrics needed for most of this. Buying a few of them too.

>>9128069
Wow, our taste is crazy similar anon. Eiyuu Senki, Kancolle, Young Avengers, Fire Emblem, Magi, and Love Live.

>how did you meet?
We meet at a meetup, but had been basically ships passing in the night for years. We both went on the same Lolita related forum years before and had even got to event not ever running into each other.
>what kinds of things do you do together?
We see each other at meets, go to movies, try out new dessert places together, plan events for our comm. We even couple cosplay together and always share rooms at cons.
>do you borrow each others clothes?
We don't have much overlap between our styles but I would lend her literally anything in my closet if she asked. And she's lent me stuff before.
>do you twin?
As often as we can.
>is there ever wardrobe oriented jealousy or anything like that?
No. Shes classic and I'm more sweet. And we both have pretty solid wardrobes. I get excited when she gets a grail piece or something shes wanted for a while.
>is one of you way cuter or better at lolita than the other? Does it ever make it awkward?
Nah. Shes way more elegant and pretty than me, but she always says I'm cute. I wouldnt matter if I was the ugly one. I just love being around her.
>anything else you wanna add?
What I've learned about making a solid Lolita friend is actually having a lot of differences. My Lolita best friend is actually very different from me. But I always feel like I'm learning a lot about her and life because of it. Our relationship isn't just Lolita. It's learning about her different hobbies and being excited about them because they're not anything I know about. I think it's stronger because it's not just about Lolita.

>how did you meet?
One bff lives in my very small home state and we friended each other on FB first and immediately clicked when we met in person at a meet. Our state's comm is practically dead so it was relieving to find another well-dressed lolita. Another BFF I met at my first meetup where I didn't know anybody else (previously it was always meets where I knew someone attending, or my bf came with me) it was her first meet and I'm pretty sure I talked her ear off but we're still hangin.
>what kinds of things do you do together?
Besides chat privately online about both lolita and nonlolita things, we attend/host meetups together, have done each others hair and makeup, sleep overs, attended birthday parties, and drink together. I'm weird and I also like grocery shopping with friends too.
>do you borrow each others clothes?
Nope, but we've borrowed accessories from one another before.
>do you twin?
I've twinned with one of my friends, and we all own Fleur Antoinette, so I'd love to triplet in that!
>is there ever wardrobe oriented jealousy or anything like that?
Not really. Our styles are between classic and sweet lolita, but we have different taste in colorways and motifs. I'm the sweetest of the three so they always jokingly rag on me as the ageplayer.
>is one of you way cuter or better at lolita than the other? Does it ever make it awkward?
Not really, I like to think all 3 of us dress well and in our own different styles, so it's comparing apples and oranges.
>anything else you wanna add?
They make my kokoro go doki-doki

>how did you meet?
I have two good lolita friends, we're like a little trio. We met at a meet, it was their most local comm, but a good 2 1/2 hours from me. My most local comm is kind of small and dead, so I'll regularly drive the distance to attend nicer and better attended gatherings.
>what kinds of things do you do together?
Aside from meets, we actually planned a few trips together, one of them even included going to Tokyo for two months together! We spent a lot of time shopping, not just for lolita stuff, but weeb shit for our ita bags. Obviously we keep in touch online on a daily basis talking about all sorts of shit.
>do you borrow each others clothes?
yeah! not too often though, because we all have slightly different styles, but on a few occassions we've shared pieces of our wardrobe.
>do you twin?
Rarely, we don't have a whole lot of overlap on main pieces, but we have before.
>is there ever wardrobe oriented jealousy or anything like that?
Not really, we all have sightly different styles and wardrobe building philosophies.
>is one of you way cuter or better at lolita than the other? Does it ever make it awkward?
I would say definitely, but I don't feel awkward about it, I could probably be fancier myself if I spent more time on my makeup and bothered with lashes.
>anything else you wanna add?
Getting into lolita is the best thing I've ever done. I've done and experienced more with my lolita friends than any other friends I've had my entire life.

This is a really nice thread OP, thanks.

That woman is mentally unstable as fuck.

She's going to face a hard battle against the old people in her region. They are the most likely to be against her and cosplay.

Oh dear she looks a bit touched

Asked in the hair thread, didn't get a response.

Can someone help me understand what's going on with this hairstyle? It's presumably not too wild, since it's the actor's real hair. If anyone's got a tutorial for a rolled hairstyle that I could adapt into this, even if it's not exactly right, I'd appreciate it.

>>9119576
looks like a weird version of victory rolls

All I care about is the Rookiez concert.

Does anyone else think it's weird that Mint Neko and galaxxxy are sharing a fashion show? Like I get there's a bit of an overlap in style but I feel they aren't cohesive

>>9117217
Agreed. It would make more sense if it was a general j-fashion show where all three guest brands were featured.

Does she live with her parents? Why would a 30 year old listen to her stepfather regarding something like that?

It's my first Mechacon so I'm super excited! I've only ever been to huge, shitty cons and I've heard nothing but good things. Plus, the fact that it's in NOLA is a plus

>>9092436
Wow.. How did she think that was okay?

>>9092436
It's Gwen Stacy after she gets tossed off the bridge, right?

>>9092572
And lands in a pile of dog shit

>>9068375
beethy is a guest. I might check it out. we don't have a lot of cons in upstate ny

Why?

Maybe, I live 20 mind from there and it'd be a fun area to run around in cosplay, but the border crossing isn't just nbd. If you go out on that bridge in cosplay you have to cross the border to get off at either end. And it takes an hour in the car if it's busy. Also, there's a toll. Not a great idea, in my onion

It seems Desucon hasn't sold out yet. Is it the k18 or is the program just worser than usual?

>>9043551
Might be both. I get a feeling that interest in cons has gone down in general. But it's just a feel.

Its going to be my first Desucon. Not sure how it will go, so I'm pretty nervous.

>>9128880
Yeah it's not great quality but you can buy it cheaper if you buy from taobao or aliexpress rather than storenvy, because those are resellers

>>9128880
oh man you know what would be great
