There are no cosplayers here, this board is for talking about dresses, hair to go with your dresses, or to blog.

i'm entering my first cosplay competition in a couple weeks and i'm really nervous!! so i'd love to hear from other gulls who have competed in the past.

it's at a super small con near my house so that makes me feel a little better about it, but if it goes well i'm thinking of working my way up to competitions at bigger cons.

I won a xbox one this year.
The competition was announced last minute and luckily I had a costume almost done that fit the rules.
It didn't need a skit, but then in the last minute we has to do something on stage for the judges.
I didn't really think that I would win, but the results were based on Internet votes (the contest was being streamed online) and I got around 40% of the votes or something.

If there's anything I can say to help people who plan on trying a competition is: don't act like you're the best, be humble and don't pressure yourself too much. The more you think about it the worse it will be if you end up not winning. Just learn to admire other people's hard work too and enjoy the time backstage.

I made a ton of friends that day, it was incredibly fun and everyone but one guy were talking to each other and sharing costume details. Very different from other competitions I tried where no one would talk to each other.

But I think the main difference was that this competition was at a game con and the others I went to were anime cons.. So it might explain a bit of the different behavior among the contestants.

HAHAHA have fun

I'm just dumping a few pics to get things rolling

You need to sacrifice your first-born on the night of a full moon at an orifice located due east from you. Only then you you truly become a cosplayer.

Just be yourself man.

>scratch or can I buy one online?
>Is it an accepting community and will i quickly meet people who will help me understand it more?
LOL. No.

I haven't used it, but I have heard it's not great for tall people.

The Yaya Han X JoAnn collaboration line Cosplay Fabrics is coming out in March. That huge sticker...

>>8800340
I feel like this might be cool (especially to get some variety in the pleather that joann offers) but i think there is a lot of potential for it to be overpriced. Ah well, coupons galore.

Oh that dress is cool though overall this is a bit meh.

Requesting any good cosplays of Good Omens!

Is this okay?

I'm not going to Ohayocon but I am going to Zipcon

>>8791290
Yo. Reporting in from pilot territory. Ohayocon does not seem worth going to.
Where is there even a Lolita comm in Ohio?

>>8791360
They seem to be located mainly in the Akron/Cleveland area and Columbus.

My personal favorite lolita Youtuber is Princess Jessie-Kate; she has a popular video on her involvement with Milanoo but she really is just the most precious thing to me. Cute voice and cute attitude.

I also really like Acchirin. https://www.youtube.com/user/acchirin/

Is this bait?

>>8785709
Somewhat-ish lol. Just thought I'd mention her along with Jnig; I don't like either of them but I didn't want people to be like "u forgot so-and-so".

Off topic, but does anyone know the source dress on the left?

On topic, for me personally I never wear OTK socks. I always wear tights. OTKs give me too much gap and it ends up looking slutty even if the dress is an appropriate length. Sadly for me, since there's so many cute OTK prints that don't come in tights.

>height: 5'10"
>alternative (wanting to get into nanchatte and mori or maybe strega)
>thrift stores, yard sales, malls, and handmade (sometimes ebay/amazon)
>if a dress is a little shorter than you thought, don't be afraid to wear it with panty hose and a thin jacket/shaul that falls below your butt to make sure your dress doesn't fly up. Also if it bothers you enough, buying chunky boots a size bigger make your legs look thinner so while you're up there in the clouds, at least you look like a skinny model rather than the jolly green giant.

(I'm a size 9 but go for 10 for comfort or XL in asian sizes so I guess this is just my preference but hey, it pleases my eyes.)

Definitely going.

I have been on hiatus for about three years, youmacon 2012 was my last con. So I'm very much looking forward to being back there.

Shot in the dark, but I'd like to do a Yugioh group, if anyone is interested!

It's a bit of a ways away right now, I'd like to see what comes out this year that I might do.
In the meanwhile I'm planning for the sister con Midwest Media Expo.

Shoot at Hart Plaza, the carousel, and the Borealis sculpture.

I should have ponied up the cash and gotten the Nefertitis in pink and black in my size, and bought more pink-and-black sweet lolita dresses that nobody wants because they're associated with the annoying people who think bittersweet is a thing.

Love the Seraphina, but don't know what the blue is like IRL.

>>8768150
Just get the black, they'll match things better

>Pre-order Stormtrooper armor from a company back in April for a price too good to pass up
>Expected delivery date shifts from December to this month
>Small local con is in 3 weeks
>Company says they're hopeful to send out the first batch sometime mid January
>Really hoping it arrives before the con at least a week before so I can put it all together before then
>Have actually had dreams of it arriving at the door and starting to put it together

It's so close I can almost taste it.

I want to apply for AM's j-fashion show but I'm too afraid of:
1) being rejected
2) backlash
Being in a burando fashionshow is part of my bucket list and I'm not getting younger...

>>8800123

Anovos? All the same I hope you get it on time
