On Wunderwelt, what does "width"? Where are they getting that measurement?

>>8801667
I'm pretty sure that's the bust measurement (measured flat).

Does anyone have a really straight forward, explain-like-i'm-five tutorial on how to sew armatures into a wig?

I've honestly never made anything myself cosplay wise before but this is my year.

Checked the forecast. Looks like the high today is suppose to be 75. Sounds like it should be a nice day. I'm finishing up my costume today, for tomorrow.

Should we show up in cosplay for the meetup?

Con filtering people through the center in one spot no signage stating as such.
Hooks are bigger than holes.
Con confirmed shit

Her waist is shooped. You can tell by the blur on her back.

i want to leave my community and become a lone lolita. the ones in my community i thought were my friends turned out to be backstabbing bitches and tried to turn more girls against me so i cant trust them. even though its a big city it feels like its the regulars who hate me and i dont know why they're doing this. i havent gone to any meets in months because i dont want to see them but its annoying because i want to wear my dresses out. i just dont like wearing them alone because of all the questions i get. theres another community but its 3-4 hours away, but they seem nicer. think its worth it?

I live in kind of a weird area, all of the closest comms to me are 2.5-3 hours away. I personally think it's kinda far to drive by myself with my busy schedule. Is this a normal amount of time to travel for a comm? I was kind of thinking trying to start a comm closer to where I live, but I don't want to be seen as a special snowflake. What do I do? Anyone I know in irl that is into Lolita is in these far away comms.

I'm techicilly in two different comms, but i mostly go to one over the other. Not saying i like that comm more, i've just made more friends in the another comm. My home comm is sweet and accepting(so is 2ndcomm) but i don't really connect that much with the girls though.

I'm only a little bit taller than you so I hope it looks ok.

How long did it take to get to you? I've been checking the tracking and it nothing is really being updated. Am I just not checking it correctly?

I don't even have anything to match these tights right now, but when I have money planning to find/get a Wonder Queen special set that I've been wanting. The tights would look great with that.

Okay this is the first time I've seen this before. Listing claims the $5.81 option is sold out but it's still got active stock. All the other sizes are $21 USD or so.

I ended up buying the "out of stock" one just to see if they'd honor my purchase. Odds are they'll refund me and make up an excuse.

>>8767955
or they'll send you a smaller size.

>>8767990
Maybe but the smaller sizes were over triple the cost. The one I ordered is a bit too big for me anyway but I'll definitely take it if they honor the transaction.

>>8834090
We'd have better luck trying to make something out of the Reddit lolita group than trying to do anything with G+ desu. No one uses G+.

>>8834090
This makes me wish wardrobe posts had been on g+.
>+1 photos you like
>browse your past +1's for easy inspiration

>>8834106
The reddit lolita group is another one I'm pretty active in but honestly it's filled with newbies who dislike criticism.

I have a bad habit of internet stalking.
I don't know how or why but sometimes i just get stalker-ish on facebook and just stalk some lolita's facebook, her wardrobe album,...
It's kinda fun actually? Oh god. I feel bad saying this. Off course in real life i'm a totally normal girl and act perfectly normal, i am actually shy and don't talk a lot and they all find me cute, nobody would suspect me doing such things.

i often daydream of stealing in lolitas' closets at night and just selling the dresses for money and nobody would never know about this.
Actually i daydream quite a lot, sometimes just by looking at a print and i can daydream for an hour, once, i opened my lolita wardrobe and stared at it and began daydreaming again for one entire hour.

I get super salty when my coords don't receive enough attention. I compare the likes I get on CoF and tumblr to other people. I hate it when someone who has a bad outfit, photo or just posted something very uninteresting gets a ton of likes while my posts get overlooked. I don't mind if someone better than me does better, but I hate it when it feels very undeserved.

Also I want to address anon's concern about Risa because I genuinely like the girl and I haven't seen her irl like this anon
>>>8773709 (You)
>That's a very old pic. I saw her irl and she's very skinny, her face was looking a little gaunt too. But she's still stunning, her makeup was on point. I follow her since 2011 and it's crazy how her face changed.

This is what my face and cheeks look like right now... Gives me inspiration to lose some weight and be as gorgeous as Risa is at the moment

usually, when you make a thread like this, you have to do a pic dump.

I have a rokku dress I want to take up, however its knitted with fairly chunky wool, how do i go about this with out it unravelling?
I was thinking of sewing a line of zig zag before cutting but would this work?

>>8808685
How would you alter the middle one for shirring? Do you have a graphic for this

>>8808685
I have a fairly general question about sewing - tried /diy/ earlier but they mentioned that /cgl/ might be a good fit:

I was wondering how much of an investment, time-wise, it would be to pick it up as a skill. I buy clothing quite rarely - part of the reason being that reasonably priced stuff either a) fits terribly, b) falls apart in under a year, or c) both.

I'm not really at the income bracket where I can afford to pay a tailor for practically every piece of clothing I own, so I figure this could be a happy middle. Obviously I'm not going to be making my own suits right out the gate (though that's definitely a long-term goal) but what about simple trousers and the like?

Also, any helpful sewing guides for noobs? Rules of thumb like "Don't buy sewing machines by $BRAND manufactured after $YEAR?"

OP here. I will start:

Where do you guys buy wool? The fabric stores where I live are shit.

100% wool would be ideal but I can settle for blends as long as they are good quality.

How expensive is it to work with leather? I want to make leather boot covers instead of using vinyl but I'm kind of a poorfag.

I can probs afford the leather itself but tools etc. are another story.

>>8806898
All I have is JoAnn and there is wool in only two sections in the store: wool felt and a few of the suitings. Some of the wool suitings do go up to 100% and they are super nice (compared to the other scratchy stuff), but colors are very limited (black/navy/brown/gray only) and I can't think of any project needing it.

Oh woops link to old thread is being a dope.

>>8804783

There's the old thread. Also anons I have seen a lot of bad undertale cosplay... a lot of bad MTT's especially. But I think what gets me the most is the bad Sans cosplay. I've stared into the void /cgl/, and the void stared back... with this.

found a video of that one papyrus from Ikkicon

It's a little hard to understand him because of the mask, but he was pretty cool in person.

>>8822814
I'm so surprised as how many people paint their faces for Sans and Papyrus. I honestly expected more people to go the Halloween skeleton mask route.
