> I fucking love bonnets, and I think they look the best in gothic lolita coords.
> I don't mind seeing side-swept bangs/fringe on a hairstyle as long as it doesn't look like a mess and is styled accordingly. IMO there's too much of an expectation now to have straight bangs as part of your hairstyle. Let's be honest - some people's facial structures don't go well with straight bangs.
Wait, are bonnets unpopular now? I've always loved them.
>>8807502
I think bonnets in sweet are more frowned upon since it gives off a much more "baby" vibe then in classic and gothic.
It doesn't fucking matter if you don't think bittersweet or country sweet are real styles or even substyles. Just let people use those terms without being cunts about it. Using labels helps people find what they're looking for better. It hurts no one.

I'm planning on going to Otakon in my home city of Baltimore. Time isn't an issue, I have plenty of time to prepare my costume. The problem is I'm Black. I have airsoft guns with the bright orange safety tips but I'm scared to walk around with them.
>>8818912
Then don't. Is it worth getting shot over cosplay?
Airsoft guns usually aren't allowed in conventions anyway.
Also this is prolly bait but whatevs.
As long as you aren't stupid with them, you should be fine. Like don't wave them around carelessly, stow them away when you're not on convention grounds, make sure your weapons align with the weapons policy etc.
If you wanna be creative and not have to worry, just use one of dante's other weapons. Like lucifer or pandora. My life for a really good Gilgamesh or Luciferrrr

are you just going to make lame threads all night
Hi there, I'm super new to cosplay but fell in love with a background character from the new Star Wars. He has a pretty killer helmet but I'm not quite sure how to make helmets at all and all the instructions from a cursory google are pretty "high tier learning" situations.
TLDR could you give me some good links and tips for helmet creation in cosplay? Please?
What's with the recent string of newfags unable to use the catalog? Con season's starting up?
I love it when little boys lik you post here- but this is not the place to make your own thread! Mommy is very dissapointed and is going to punish you for not posting in the help thread like a good boy.
Shoutout to armored Undyne edition.
Old thread >>8795103
What's everyone working on? How many Frisks will we see at every con this year? Going to a con soon? Dont forget to take pictures of Undertale cosplay and share it here! (so we can talk shit)
>>8804783
The armor don't look like Undyne's armor, but at least she did an effort
I'll going to work in this armor too, nobody did it, at least, a good one.
>>8804794
The pic you have is her genocide armor though. I think OPs pic looks reasonably like Undyne's normal armor. Its pretty difficult to translate a sprite into a cosplay, anyway.
I would love to see one of her genocide armor, though.
>>8804783
That frisk in the background looks adorable af. Also what is up with all the fatties? I get that the game panders to tumblr but jesus fuck.
A design for the pokemon espeon. Thoughts on this sort of cosplay?
(background : so I have a degree in Costume design and construction. Yes that is actually a university course! I love anime and cosplay but my designson are a little different to what I've seen at comic con. More performance based. I'd just like a few opinions on if you would like to see this sort of cosplay. Or if I'm deluded and wasting my time... I just want to make things for a living! Not work in a kitchen xx
looks like you're gonna be spending a lot more time in that kitchen.
I suggest you trash this design and first google and study how other people have done an Espeon gijinka.
>>8818821
I kind of like it and I especially love the skirt/tail
Hate the bra-triangle part though.
Also, don't expect too much actual helpful and constructive critisism on here, you're better off asking your teachers.

I haven't seen a thread like this in a while, but what are some rarely-cosplayed pieces of media that you wish had more attention in the community? What about characters (from popular or unpopular series) that you'd like to see more of?
For me, it's Rhyhm Heaven. I love the series and think it has a lot of potential for cute cosplays but I've never seen much from it.
Characters from bemani games (iidx, pop'n, DDR, sdvx, etc.)
Characters from cave games (mushihimesama, deathsmiles)
90s anime (90-99)
Nadia Secret of Blue Water (the whole cast not just nadia or jean)
I really want the last one, but the show is over 25 years old now and is not that memorable to most people besides the fact the main character is black. I can dream though.
Endless variants, especially elaborate costumes.
Especially-especially the alternate Dreams from Overture.
There are so many options and Sandman cosplayers tend to stick to the basics.
Bioshock 1 and 2 they just died down and now it's nothing but a zillion Elizabeths

Beluga makes me think of tiny whales in IW dresses. I wish IW would make a classic whale print.

Damn. And she looks like she could be really cute too. This guy or girl sucks.
Make sure you name the photographer responsible if their watermarks aren't on the photos.

If anime characters didn't wear as skimpy clothes as they do, would you still be interested in cosplay?
Be honest.
Yes.
