I feel like I havent made a real costume in FOREVER so I'm pretty pumped

So my sister and I have a room at the Hilton Thursday-Sunday and it ended up being a lot more expensive than we remembered, so we're looking for people to stay with us. Don't steal my lolita or be annoying all weekend and we're cool.

How many people do you all think will be there this year? Last year saw a 29% decrease.... I feel like we're looking at another decrease.

summary of last thread:
>pink Milk skirt shitshow
>ehyphen bonbon is overpriced, we know
>larme kei meetups - the good, the bad, the ugly
>best brands for your buck
>swankiss fall collection releases, promptly sells out
>the larme kei facebook community is a poorly dressed cuddlefest
>substyles are stupid
>offbrand larme kei: when you try so hard but you don't succeed

Ok so how about a resource list of 'off brand because fatter than Larme brands' sources and potential places to look.

I'm assuming since there is some brand overlap, sizing is about like gyaru and many westerners are both taller and fatter.

If you're fat, then don't j-fash.

I'm working on my megumin cosplay, this is what it looks like so far.
I was thinking of wearing shorts under it, but what kinda color / type would look the best with it?

Army surplus stores are your friend

>>9123361
There are not surplus store in my zone.
Any other suggestions?

>>9123432
Surplus stores exist online too. What country are you in?

Euros:

US:

As starters, there are a ton more.

If, however, you would rather try making the costume. I's recommend a nice olive drab gabardine or twill.

>no racist comment
>4chan
Your heart is in the right place OP but you need to consider where you are. Asking 4chan not to be racist is like asking the sun not to set. It's gonna happen, just ignore and don't reply to the obvious bait that's going to show up here sooner or later (it always does).

>>9119789
Create a cosplay page, post lots of progress pictures and good shots of your cosplay, do things people haven't seen before, don't say heckle.

>>9119882
>don't say heckle
or say heckle just way to often, make it your catchphrase.

do youtube videos of every con you go to, every costume. and finally

git gud

>>9119889
say heckle if you want markiplier-tier fans

It's usually pretty bad.

>>9118415
My thought is as long as their cosplays are made properly for their body and they choose appropriate characters, than I have no issue with it.
The ivy in this pic did a nice job with that and harleys suit isnt too tight. These two are overweight but far from the obese monstrosities that lurk at every con.

A woman is considered obese when she is above 32% body fat. Both of those women look like they're about 40% body fat or more. Just because they're not homebound doesn't mean they're not obese.

Let me just get one thing out of the way.

It is NEVER. OKAY. to fart at a tea party. Take it outside.

And no, not even if you think you can do it quietly. In fact, those smell the worst! This is a space for cute girls to be cute, and nobody wants to smell your butthole!

I'm actually getting fucking mad writing this, because I went to a meetup last week and somebody dropped a butt bomb right behind me. And you bet your petti that I got stares. Lolitas don't put all this effort into being pretty so you can pin your rancid winds on them.

Jesus fucking christ, my eyes are actually misting up a little, just remembering this. Whoever farted on me, I hope it was fucking worth it, you nasty cunt. Was it that hard to take it outside? Or shove your pimply ass out the window before you blast shit air all over a room full of pretty girls? Or hell, maybe you could have just shoved a cork up that unwashed hole of yours before it ruined the comm??!

If you're even reading this, you know what it's like to spend hundreds of hard-earned dollars on dresses and stuff, right? It's a lot of effort to look cute. So you can imagine how disrespected I feel when I put on my full coord, drive two hours to a party, and be on my best behavior while I sip tea, only to have some fifth-rate ita shoot a rancid tornado out of her ass.

This was four days ago and I'm still fucking pissed. I thought I was over it, but no. Every time I forget, the anger comes back stronger! If you can't control your ass for an hour, stay the fuck out of my lolita!

It's very hard to get SDCC tickets. And people fight for them on the Internet. There have been many people who have queued up to hopefully get at least one day and missed for years. I was lucky that two years ago I got three days after four years of battle of the waiting room. But after you get one day, you can get full event passes next year when the preorder process goes up. Preorder is only for those who have had passes before and want to renew them. But if you don't renew, you lose you ticket and it goes into the open registration bank. If you want to go and didn't renew, you have to fight the waiting room again.

Now that certain conventions have more media coverage, it is going to get harder and harder to get in. Much of SDCC is online merchants who buy up all the exclusives so they can resell the items for triple the prices online. It's how the convention scene is and sucks but it just means you got to really take what you can get.

I want to love it, but something about the execution just feels really underwhelming.

I've already seen a Freyja and that was months ago. I'm planning a Kaname as well, so it's not all that unlikely to see some or get recognized. After all, Macross isn't obscure.

I have been so hype for Macross Δ since it was first announced and seriously can't wait to cosplay from it!
I adore Freyja, but I know that I'd suit Maki Maki best so I'm torn as to who to cosplay (first).
Though I have Freyja, Makina & Mikumo wigs ready on TaobaoRing waiting for me to have the funds to order. Though it probably won't be for a couple of months yet as I have fabric for a Sheryl cosplay to buy and countless Δ merch on pre-order.

This is the only Δ cosplay I've seen as it was shared in one of the fb groups I'm apart of.

Not really going to express what panels to allow or whatnot, but for the love of god, please do only ONE for each fandom; having multiple from the same one is so offputting

>>9111691
Yeah, no worries there. Nobody needs 3 panels on Undertale, that's for sure.

Only one I'd consider is Pokemon because it really has a universal appeal and way too many aspects.

>>9111654
If you don't open submissions for the vast majority to the public, you won't have panels. I've run a huge variety of panels. Probably my best turnouts were for live movie riffing. Lesser known fandom stuff can get big crowds too. I did a Batsu games panel and filled up the room entirely. Did the same for a panel focusing on amazing anime series that younger fans or more mainstream fans wouldn't know about.

Fandom panels for series with annoying fanbases are not worth approving. SJW ones are an irritating trend... maybe let the least shitty sounding one through and that's it.

It would help to ask panel submitters what their panel experience is and the extent of their expertise on the topic.

>>9110822
desu at least the hawk is styled. I'm more concerned about that limp haired girl in the hat. get some volume.

Is that theosakaneko?

I don't like undercuts/shaved sides/whatever but the worst thing is always those gross stringy sideburns. Why do they always have those? The whole thing would look so much better without them.

>>9110828
Eh, I like that on some people, not her and not me though. When I had undercuts, which I had several and I always shaved those off. They grow back hella fast though. That could be part of it.
