pet peeve: when doing a bunny suit group and it's super obvious nobody used the same pattern. playboy bunnies have the exact same suit - these girls are all wearing different necklines, different leg openings, it looks like a fucking mess.

Would a Darkest Dungeon group see any kind of recognition at a con?

We've made costumes and done cloth-to-costume sewing before for parties and the like but not a full on cosplay, Darkest Dungeon is something we all enjoy and the minimalist designs seem to be perfect for novices at work.

The only time I've ever done a cosplay group I was so desperate to do it I made every single costume myself and just made my friends wear them. It was stressful and drama inducing and some of my friends didn't even like the source content/know the characters I made them. 4/10 overall because I trust my craftsmanship and we got some nice photos.

>What have been your experience with Western Indie brands?
I have a Mullberry Chronicles dress, a dress from Lady Sloth, and a skirt from Elegy. I'm also waiting on a dress from Peppermint Fox

> Do you find they're a better alternative to Bodyline/Taobao?
Bodyline yes. Taobao it depends. They're all definitely more expensive than bodyline or taobao so it's not something I would recommend to newbies. I find that sometimes the construction is about the same as good taobao.
> Which Indie brands would you say are comparable to Brand quality?
I don't find any of them to be comparable to brand quality. Mostly because their handmade so more prone to mistakes usually. I would put Lady Sloth and Elegy as least brand like in quality. Elegy also gets points docked because she takes an eternity to ship.

>>9554263
Which Peppermint Fox dress did you order?

>>9554285
Tea emblem rerelease

>>9552079
Ok but what did you do

>>9552079
Yeah, I need details

>>9552079
Reasons I've seen for getting banned:
-stalking
-massive amounts of shit stirring
-stealing
-bullying
-assault/threatening assault

All of these require proof most of the time. Whether caps, police report, or if there were witnesses.

Lets get some discussion here, what are your favorite shops?

>>9525882
Oranges Store
>https://alice.aliexpress.com/store/1921468

And formerly Soft Degree Wigs but they are apparently 100% dead now.

How good is Aliexpress to buy tools in general? And more specifically, sanding bits for my dremel: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-51pc-Drum-Sanding-Sandpaper-Kit-Fits-Dremel-Rubber-Drum-Mandrels-1-2-3-8-1/32283296403.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.264.dQeVO5

I give my friends (who are new to the fashion) ita advice, like telling them not to wear petticoats, so that I look better by comparison.

>>9571427
...I mean one quick google and they'll figure it out that you duped them...

I think I'm in love with someone, and I shouldn't be.
I don't even know them.
But I'll probably never see them again.

Had a problem with him but got a refund, I don't think he's sketch, but he definitely drags his feet. Just got my refund through PayPal tho

How did you pay him?

I paid him through paypal. Which only gives you 90 days to ask for a refund.

I vaguely remember reading translated brand concepts somewhere but I don't remember where, anyone?

Yes, thank you! I can't find the thread/other translations though.

Does anyone want to translate Rosa Bianca's?
I'm really interested in the コンセプト and the ブランド名について part

I watched my Facebook feed go from a hundred people saying "this is bad guys don't go!!!" a couple months ago to the exact same people saying "of course i'm going but it's fine because i'll just ghost!!! XD"

Frustrating as hell.

>>9570797
You could just, you know, not care?

>>9570797
Everyone I know is skipping and going to a different cosplay event. Even people that won badges from a previous con.

Currently Meta's fantasy parade frill skirt in black, because it is fun to wear on a daily basis and the fireworks make me think of summer festivals

Anything with a belt, vest or interesting brooches on the blouse. Bonus points for a beret as the hair accessory.

>>9568489
None of those girls are ita though.

>>9568514
Obese and/or hideously ugly girls are automatically ita. Don't act like this isn't true.

>>9568489
Is the sugary carnival dress a replica?

>decent
>inexpensive

choose one

>>9568469
This isn't true? EVA foam can be found for pretty cheap. Costumes in OP's pic look to be upholstery foam covered by fabric, which is pretty inexpensive as well. If the costume requires a support structure, half inch PVC is cheap and effective way to do it. Lighting is usually just a matter of a few LEDs and button cell batteries, not expensive either. Stilts can be made out of cheap insulation foam. The tools to work with these materials aren't gonna cost you an arm and a leg either.

Making a big costume out of sintra or worbla is probably a different story though.

To OP: your question is very broad. Want to make a mech? There's tutorials for exactly that online. Want to make a big mascot-style suit or something that otherwise uses upholstery foam? Look up fursuit tutorials. Want something generally robo-y? Just look up EVA foam tutorials.

>>9570235
Well, I just want to make a getter robo costume, and general mecha stuff for the others to discuss.
However, I have no idea to start, hence I chose 4chan.

At this point the horse isn't just dead, it's been dismembered and the remains have been scattered over 16 acres.

Nope still awful. Also this really belongs in Handmade General >>9514297

I didn't even know this was thing damn. I'd say go if you like cs, otherwise it'll just be very boring. I'd probably go if I wasn't a carfag with plans this weekend xd

I'm going, I have a table seat but I want to explore the event, I'm worried my shit gonna get stolen

>>9565365
ive been in Dreamhacks here is Sweden and yes its normal that people steal mice/keyboards and even fucking components when people/security are gone.

Bring with you some anti-steal equipment like heavy locks and chains.
