Not bad at all, I think it would have looked a bit more authentic if you had used a thicker fabric like a heavy weight cotton twill, nice photography

Also, just bought another dream item this past weekend.
I have found and purchased 3 of my dream dresses in the past year.
life is so good right now

Anything more than shorts and a tank top is already unbearable

>point is to illustrate that you can't live on $1k

apparently responsible adults who budget and don't get into dumb shit = entitled brandwhores.

I work with some cosplayers on Twitch on other projects. What do you need? A cosplay dedicated core group?

Not OP, but are there good cosplay twitch channels out there? I'm mostly interested in seeing actual cosplay construction, not just people hanging out in cosplay.

Coregeek, Punished Props, Artyfakes, Evil Ted, Suspicious Tumbleweed... that's pretty much all the big names that come to mind and they're pretty interactive with the exception of Punished Props

>>9451606
I will be.

Not directly an Expo event, but the Globe is screening Howl's Moving Castle Saturday at 7. They also have The Red Turtle screening through the week

I'm going on saturday.
I was planning on maybe popping up friday, but I had to drop it for both plans and so I could avoid the local weeb asking for rides.

You don't have to cosplay at a con, and you can also cosplay from things other than anime or manga. Why would you cosplay from manga/anime when you don't like manga/anime?

>>9448587
maybe i want to find one for me that is not naru-toe or some other mainstream milk-till-it-dies creation

but are you ready to fuck shit up though

>popular lolitas

No, thank you. Even if you're the nicest, most well-dressed person, /cgl/ will find a reason to hate you.

>>9446606
Sorry you were posted.

No, are you in highschool?

I'm glad you're excited, but did this really warrant it's own thread?

Has it been grey before?

Will AP USA be doing this too? Because they ended taking Carnival and Holy Lantern MTO, right?

>>9422045
>>Are you going?
Yes!

>>What tickets do you have?
Golden dream

>>Going to the tea party?
Yes

>>What do you think of the tea party ticket commotion?
Nice that they got more, now some of my friends are able to go as well

>>Expectations of the event?
I have never been to a TPC event before, tbqh I am a bit cautious of that it will be slightly less ''fancy'' (a bit trashy even?) than the SFE events. But that's really not based on any facts, just a feeling that I hope won't be true.

>>Do you have your coordinate planned?
Nope, not yet, still got some time lol

>>Are you staying in London for the event?
Yes, with friends!

>>Goody bag expectations for gold and silver?
I try to expect nothing special, maybe I will get surprised ;)

>>What indie vendors do you want to see?
Voodoodolly, MyInspiration, LiParo.. idk

>>9422045
Unfortunately not going this year (can't really afford it atm), but I just want to say how impressive I find the organizers. They actually managed to stock up the tea party tickets twice! Most would just say "eh, better luck next year" and leave it at that. And yet I still have friends on my friend list that complain about not managing to get tickets and think its a conspiracy against them personally. Bitch, you're not important enough for any conspiracies! Be happy that you have gold tickets for Saturday and attend the alternative tea party on Sunday!

>>9422045
Silver and yes! I thought the prerelease was a really nice gesture on the part of the organisers, especially because the volunteers do donate their time when they've already bought tickets.

I've also been really impressed by the organisers, they've really gone above and beyond to try to get more people into the tea party! I have friends who were able to get tickets in both expansions, so I'm really happy I'll get to spend more time with them, especially the ones from the other end of the country.

I'm also side-eyeing a couple of people really hard over how they're acting about the tickets. Limited release, you guys knew it was going to be a bloodbath, there's no reason not to be mashing refresh five minutes before seven.

I'm especially side-eyeing that one brolita in the thread, the one who only owns Starlight of Serenity and has consistently been a whiny, entitled twat online. Does he really think this kind of behaviour is going to earn him friends? I'm surprised he hasn't been posted to BTB yet, and I suspect he'll be in there this week. I'm just glad he hasn't gotten a tea party ticket so I won't risk being at his table.

What girlfriend? ;_;

...ita?

Personally, my boyfriend loves my enthusiasm about cosplay and is couples cosplaying with me the next con we go to together (it's mostly me working on the cosplay, which he appreciates; but he's the best assistant/model I could ask for)

As for Lolita, he seems to at least like how I dress. It helps that we have similar aesthetic sense. I feel like if I was in something different (like, say, OTT all the time) it might be a different story; but at worse I know he loves me and would probably still tolerate it.

He thinks lolita is cute though he really doesn't understand it. The closest he's come to showing real interest is when he asked me to make him a matching outfit so we can 'cosplay' together, but when I actually showed him some aristo stuff (he'd look awful in ouji) he backed out. Oh well. I'm kind of annoyed that after five years together he still thinks it's cosplay, though.

>>9462139
isn't that just j-fashion?

>>9462139
so, bosozoku/yanki fashion, anon?

>>9462139
It might pass as cosplay, but be prepared for the inevitable "What character are you?" question.

Another slight problem might be that you could end up insulting people wearing that J-fashion by calling it cosplay, especially if you disregard the finer details of that fashion.

>>9460664
If male: Make an impressive and bulky armor from some fantasy/sci-fi with a matching overzised prop weapon and LED's everywhere.
If female: Be pretty, show tits and ass on an armor bikini.

>>9460804
shit i fucked up already lol

Don't lie to the judges. We're like Baskin Robbins. We always find out.

Had a dude spend thirty minutes describing how he made his own patterns and covered his own buttons and even told us which patterns he based his new ones off of. It was a storebought RWBY cosplay he'd made some horrendous alterations to, that he passed off as "Oh that seam got stuck in my sewing machine last night". Had another dude tell us exactly how he'd vacformed his armor. It was repurposed Roman Centurion armor from a Halloween store.

Even if it's just little shit you think we might ding you for, it's better to tell the truth and say you didn't make it rather than have the judges all look at each other as soon as you leave the room and go "yeah they just lied to our faces" and throw your entry into the disqualification pile.

I'll bite. iirc Dolly Cat is colorfast? Soak it in some oxyclean, anything you can't get out that way you can probably go at with a felds-naptha bar and/or an old toothbrush.

>>9460368
don't worry senpai the dress is brown, nobody will notice trust me

>When would you consider that your Lolita wardrobe is too big?
When I no longer have room to store all my things. I'm almost at that point. I've had to get rid of lots of normie clothes in order to have enough room in my closet for my lolita wardrobe, which now takes up 2/3 of my closet. To think, lolita used to be just a little corner of my closet...

>Is there a moment when you decide to start selling just to get space for new things?
For sure. Honestly, I'm always in need of more space for new items, so anytime I get tired of a piece I list it for sale immediately.

>What is your blouse/jsk ratio?
I seem to be a bit of an outlier in that I prefer OPs to skirts and JSKs, but I still have a good amount of JSKs/skirts.

Currently I have:
16 JSKs
7 Skirts
15 Blouses
18 OPs

I don't really think there's a gold standard or a limit. I'm not done collecting. I want to force myself to buy more skirts and JSKs, personally, but I tend to just adore OP cuts.

>Drowning in a Lolita wardrobe
This would be my dream death btw
Suffocating in my dresses.

>>9459370
32 main pieces and counting. I'm running out of space.
