Lolita General - Another Disney collab edition
Old thread in auto-sage: >>9070014
What is the most flattering bodice shape for large busts?
Are there any nice dresses with a houndstooth pattern? I know there is a recent AP print with a hideous color combination and border print (whip collection?) and an older one with milky-chan. But I'm looking for something in black or red.

Post your favorite magical girl cosplays and props
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Magic Knight Rayearth
Sailor Moon
Cardcaptor Sakura
Pretty Cure
etc.
A thread to compare coords that use the same main piece, or even twin/triplet/etc. coords.
Post a single picture that has more than one person in the same main piece--same cut preferably, different colorway is all right--and discuss who coorded it and wore it better. A collage is fine, but please don't be lazy and post images you want to compare across multiple posts. We are all adults who can handle combining different images into one picture , not only to prevent premature image cap but to streamline discussion.
Starting with a dump of lolitas whose photos were taken together.

Im going to this with a young family member of mine (tickets for their bday)
I dont watch anime nor know wtf this thing is, so can someone please help me figure out what to expect here?
I dont understand the schedule, and I cant figure out how this works. How do I find out which Animes are going to be there? Im assuming booths or something? What do I even do there?
I just want to enjoy myself in an unfamiliar environment, any tips?
Assuming you're not trolling I'll tell you what you need to know since you're retarded. You're going to an anime convention in which fans of Japanese animation go to meet up, talk about anime with like-minded individuals and meet famous people such as representatives from anime studios, directors, voice actors, popular community members and so on.
Simply ask your "family member" what they want to do and go to where it says at the time on the schedule. There's tons of fun panels (sit down and listen to people talk about a topic), activies and signings to attend. Just go with the flow and enjoy yourself. I'm sure if you get confused you can simply ask con staff or other attendees. People in the anime community tend to be pretty open and kind so I'm sure they'll have no issue helping you.

I have no idea what it is.
SO its nothing im going to enjoy? The person im taking is 10, are they not going to enjoy it either?

>>9077478
There will be people in costume. There will be long lines. There will be shows you've never heard of and long lines related to those shows. There will be lots of stuff to buy, and things to look at, but don't try to pack a schedule full of stuff. Look around, find stuff you like, and then plan from there. There are also going to be TONS of people.
No price check thread?
Well then, what's the going rate for Classic Fairy Tales JSK in wine?
M-maybe this thread won't die as fast as the others. Trying again...
Trying to find a suitable price for this dress, AP Moonlit Castle OP in Lavender. Second owner, not worn by me, no tags but all accessories.
Price check for this cut of Dreamy Jewel, want to know how much I'd need to save for it.
>>9077034
This belongs in the ugly dress thread
Old one died.
I'd like to see a picture of someone wearing Alice And The Pirates's "Sheherazade ~One Thousand And One Nights~" JSK, preferably in the black/gold colorway! Unfortunately, the coords I've seen with it on COF doesn't do the print any justice.
Night Knight's secret of kells. Hopefully I get the skirt but was wondering if there are any non stock photos of it or worn photos that are not by the resident CoF ita
>>9075427
Dropped pic, oops. Any colorway, any cut.
>>9075397
dream dress...
Don't bother with the good. Just post your bad&ugly, gulls.

I love this.
Samuraicon. Finally an alternative to Ohayocon, right in their back yard, same weekend. Competition always brings forth the best effort on both sides. I for one stopped attending Ohayocon a few years ago, and am excited to have some type of alternative.
It could flop, but Ohayocon will have to try to put forth their best effort this year in case it doesn't. And Samuraicon will have to come out with a lot of great things to pull people over to their side who are currently on the fence with Ohayocon.
>>9070152
Hm. All my friends go to ohayocon but I'd consider this, especially if it's cheap
>>9070186
According to the even group parking is free, tickets are significantly cheaper, and the hotel looks like it'll be cheaper. I think I'll check it out at the very least. Haven't gone to Ohayocon in 3+ years now.
I've been going to Ohayocon for at least 10 years if not more. It's a shit show, and I only go to hang out with friends or go in the dealers room and artist alley. I haven't attended any worthwhile programming there in eons. I'll wait to see what this con has to offer, but I'll probably give this one a shot.
anyone going next week? i went last year and it wasn't much of a cosplay convention, but it was super chill and partyish. gonna try to go to the l4d lan party most nights
>>9070098
I'm planning on going. I'll probably be there mostly on Friday and Saturday.
>>9070570
you gonna be cosplaying anything? gonna be drinking and partying and wouldn't mind meeting new peeps
I'll be there Thurs/Fri/Sat as Ryuko Matoi and a couple JJBA characters. Still trying to hammer out my final lineup.
Honestly Im not super into SF/Fantasy and the panel list sucks but man those party rooms are worth it imo
So now that the Brexit is crashing the pound exchange rate what are some good British indie/brand/offbrand stores that take payment in pounds?
Will Brands and stores like Taobao and Bodyline even accept orders from UK Customers now?
Given that we have Killed the market over there.
Anyone else getting janky gbp conversions when they try to pay with paypal? Seems to me that they're using old conversions and not the recent ones ie. what value it's gone down to last night and today.
>be me
>bought an item on LM last night
>seller is from the UK
>seller tells me I have 3 business days to complete the transaction on PayPal
Looks like I'm going to wait the full 3 business days then.
Hey /cgl/ what are some good cosplays for bigger guys?
I have a local con coming up and I was thinking Dick Gumshoe but open to other ideas.
>>9065084
good taste in beefy husbando, anon
Bane if your bald or wario off the top of my head
>>9065084
Now when you say "bigger" do you mean broad shouldered tall guys, or fatsos?
Hey guys, can we have a tumblr sharing thread?
I'm looking for inspirational blogs to follow, self-posting is welcome but I want all kinds of blogs so please post recommended blogs as well.
>>9058567
I want to help but I don't feel safe posting my blog here anymore.
>>9058716
Well, do you have any favorites you follow then? Anything is welcome.
>>9058936
My favourite isn't welcome here.
With less than a month away, I guess it's time for a ConnectiCon thread.
This is my first time going... what can I expect?
Is anyone else going? And if anyone has a room they plan on cancelling at the Marriott, I would happily take it off your hands, as I plan on wearing some heavy shit and the closer I am to my room from the convention center the better.
I'll be going, though unfortunately not in cosplay this year due to some complications.
Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative mode of transportation to get into Hartford than just driving?
Last year I think I spent something like $40 to park for the weekend, and that's annoying.
I would take a bus, but I typically leave the convention around midnight, give-or-take an hour, and I don't think the buses run that late.
>>9051009
I'm going.
The food situation is weird, there's not many restaurants within reasonable walking distance, and everyone knows buying food at the con itself is waste of money.
Personally I'm going to be salty as fuck if those food truck don't show up at the nearby park. I ain't buying food at the con, and the only place nearby is subway.
Does anyone know if there's going to be a lolita panel or at least a meet up or something?

Depends on your local post service, I have had things find their way to me without the house number but had everything else. But I have lived in the same place for years so the postman knows me, or if they asked someone along the road most people would probably be able to tell them my house number. I would ring your local post office and tell them what happened and ask what can be done, they might be able to keep an eye out for it or something
