This is probably my favorite Wicked Lady wig, the odangos are so smooth and clean.

Funny, I actually really dislike this wig because of how smooth and clean they are. It makes it look like plastic and not real hair. Even with wacky anime styles, I like when wigs have a bit more of a "how this would look in the real world" vibe. It's hard to find Sailor Moon wigs that do that though.

Understandable! I prefer more natural Usagi wigs myself, but Wicked Lady / Chibi Moon odangos always seem a little misshappen to me without being more formed. I'd love to see a really nice natural approach, too.

I'm pretty sure everything is this smooth because of photoshop. you're bound to have knots and stray hairs no matter how nicely your wig is styled.

The tailoring on that dress is absolutely gorgeous. What a fantastic cut. I'm guessing she added a panel to the side seam that fans out into the skirt? Man that looks awesome. You gotta respect a cosplayer that tailors the costume to look flattering on them.

If anyone is working on a serenity cosplay, I came across this fabric while working on a different costume. It breathes beautifully so it should have a good amount of movement. I figure if you add in some broomstick pleats you could really pull that manga look.

The construction on this wig is indeed very nice, but man it triggers my autism to see the odango sticking straight up like that. Black Lady's odango are angled, like bunny ears.

>>9386008
Luna's human appearance is supposed to be a year younger than Usagi? I always thought that she was supposed to be an adult, around 18-22 or something... Wow.

>>9386137
I think this was before the Circus/Stars arc where she is shown again to be human with Artemis and Diana. She seems older there >>9385971 ,more how she appears here. >>9386008 this version I believe is for the movie/manga running alongside in. (Thanks for the skirt construction help though Naoko.)

Also Naoko wasn't the greatest at showing age...Helios is lowkey 14 and is pretty small but Naoko is called a peodophile because she draws him looking 20.

Tumblr finds any reason to hate Naoko, one was Helios. Even though in the Manga and show he is shown pretty small/young and the guide he is 13/14.
I dont blame her for her samey style if I'm honest, she was pushed hard through those years and had huge issues with her drawings and trying to make them perfect.

>>9386008
>>9386188
I always found it weird how Naoko thought it was normal to pair a 15 year old with a college student. And then pairing a cat that looks younger than Usagi with a 29 year old...

I guess that's Japan for you. Anyways, the reference does help. Thanks anon.

>>9386213
I think because Helios looks way older than Chibiusa? Even though Chibiusa's really ~900 years old in the manga.

I bought it off someone else for cheap, but the seller got it off eBay. I've seen them on taobao, too.
As a heads up, I had to tailor the waist and gloves of mine a lot, and attach my own panty so the top wouldn't ride up (above is the only worn pic i have with the changes). The tiara I broke the edges off so I could just spirit gum the front, because otherwise it's bulky and hurts to hell.

I like it too. So many people, even after 25 years of trying, still fuck up Wicked Lady and Usagi's odango.
You'd think people would be better at proportion and researching what others did first. But noooope.
This person at least did a proper shape and placement and often people don't even do that.

Shoop or no, I give kudos to trying to get that shit looking proper.

Another frequent casualty of SM cosplay is Serenity.

Over the last two decades I've seen such atrocious bodices. So when I see someone get it right I feel like heaping all the praise on them for lining up the pearls and properly stiffening up the circles, using nicer fabric for the skirt,and doing something to make those sleeves look good in real life.

Holy. Crap. This has to be the best one I've seen so far. Not feeling the bows, but what a great idea to do a falling gradient of bead sizes.

What's the tulle for? In between the topmost skirt and the skirt beneath it?

Thank you for sharing this. I hadn't seen this one before. Between the tailoring on that dress earlier in the thread and the bodice on this one we have a damn close to perfect dress.

Has anyone seen the big back bow done right, though?

Oh yeah you can get really fancy if you want to. An odd phenomenon I've noticed about cosplayers in the couple decades I have been around, they don't make more of their own clothing like you'd think they would.

Like you can make a pretty damn boss wardrobe with some fancy fabric and 4 or 5 patterns. But nope, they just wear tshirts and jeans and let that knowledge of how to make a garment go only towards cosplay.

This Uranus was the only person I saw utterly play to all her strengths. Her jacket looked thought out and well tailored. It was a good concept and properly executed.

On the whole there a majority look liked they didn't know how to style a wig nor their own hair for a special event.

But I guess that's expected. People in their late teens and early 20s haven't acquired the knowledge of what looks best on their body nor have they gotten past the self consciousness of teenhood.

Because it's not an utter fail. The dresses look like they fit, they matched the colors and lace and they wore styled wigs.

The design isn't the best, but hey that's young fashion for you. Sometimes what sounds good in your head doesn't make for nice in real life.

>>9389815
...They're cheap hot topic/Fredericks of Hollywood corsets worn over tulle petticoats with cheap organza over skirts (that don't fit said petticoats) with even cheaper lace tacked on top.

The wigs are styled in an out-of-the-box kind of way? By those standards, *all* wigs are styled.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't want you to think I'm picking on them in particular- because they are, indeed, the absolute best of what you posted so far with the exception of the Selenity Redesign.

The saddest part is, the venue looks beautiful and whoever did the lighting did a great job. It's just an absolute shame about... Everything. Like, just downright tragic. From the pictures it looks like people didn't even try. This was such a cool idea and such a cool concept and yet it looks like people didn't even bother.

And age has nothing to do with it. Bad taste knows no age. There are prom dresses that would have been a better idea than some of these. What a shame.

>>9389222
>they don't make more of their own clothing like you'd think they would.
Sage for OT - I've made a few skirts and sundresses, but I usually pick fanvomit prints (ex Star Trek, Avengers) to make custom clothing that wouldn't be sold/made anywhere else - they end up as fun Day 4 outfits for long weekend conventions. Otherwise, it's cheaper by far (when considering materials + manufacture time) to buy off the rack.

Honestly, this event could have benefitted from a stricter code. The problem is that would be such a gamble. Either people would buck up and it would be awesome, or people would just choose to not attend. I mean, how would you enforce it? An actual fashion police dressed like Shitennou?

Does anyone have any top tier Pluto inspiration?

I'm considering attempting Pluto. I'm fairly tall at 5'10". Whilst (I think?) my height may be canon, I'm worried I'm going to look ridiculous next to other people. Especially in heels.

Quantum Destiny is my favourite Pluto but she's only 5'5" I think.

I appreciate sewing like that but that wasn't what I was thinking about. I was talking about indistinguishable from regular clothing type of clothes.

And yeah a lot of the time it's cheaper to buy off rack but maybe it's because I've been an adult for so long or that I'm tall with long arms that I see the unbelievable value in making something look excellent and fit you exactly as it should in a color that compliments you instead of always having to make a concession somewhere.

You don't have to make complicated suit jackets and formal wear. You should try something you've thought about having but can't seem to find...
You can really surprise yourself on the number of quick to make and ridiculously nice looking patterns out there.

What is your obsession with that particular group? They suck, get over it.

>>9395790
Just remember to take it one day at a time. Start with portion control and listening to your body. Learn to know when you're full versus when you're eating just because something tastes good. Don't trust miracle diets. You'd be amazed how far portion control go!

Dieting alone, however, is only half the battle- remember, skinny fat is a thing. Find something that you like and won't see as a chore to keep in shape. Cardio but don't like running? Join a hot yoga or zumba or aerobics dance. Don't like cardio? Weight training. Don't like weight training? Swimming. Don't like swimming? Rollerblading.

Despite eating a lot, Usagi is still portrayed as having long, slender limbs. Adult ballet classes have become a lot easier to find. If that doesn't sound fun, try Pilates. If that doesn't sound fun, there's another form of Pilates used by ballerinas to keep their body on condition outside the studio- gyrotonics. It's harder to find but it allows you to excersise, get better posture and tone your muscles. Also it's great for making your back feel awesome.

Indoor rock climbing, archery, and paddle boarding are also some fun activities that can help you get in shape!

Again, the goal here is to find something you like doing, something you look forward to doing. Not something you see as a chore or homework.

I've heard about aerial aerobics and bellydancing for keeping in shape, but I'm sorry to say, most of the bellydancers and ribbon dancers I've seen tend to be on the heavier side so I'm not quite sold on their effectiveness for toning.

Unfortunately I have never found adult gymnastics/tumbling classes :( Thosevseem like they'd be awesome for getting in shape and gymnastics looks so damn fun.

>>9395880
I wanna add to this: Do squats. Don't do back squats (The ones everyone thinks of when they say squats) But do some form of it (plie squats, lunge squats, side squats, or goblet squats). If you have a flabby ass it will perk it right the fuck up.
15 reps with whatever weight you can handle.

If you don't continuously raise the weight you won't get bulky legs, just a good ass.

Tbh, by not having it be anime-themed in the first place. You aren't gonna get many winners with "90's japanese cartoon show for children" theming going on. I guess if you wanted an actual impressive masquerade ball you'd have to base it around something more general, like Roman/Greek mythology, or fictional princesses/warriors or something.

Not all face shapes can pull off bangs.

Oh yeah I agree. I'm a fan of changing little things so it suits your face better. Like not doing the crazy rise off the forehead that those 90's bangs do and just curling the ends & making sure they aren't plastered to the forehead.
But straying too far with straight bangs, no bangs, uncut bangs, too short bangs, or spiky bangs sticks out as "Those aren't supposed to look like that."

The ChibiUsa I posted isn't an example of that. She could have curled hers a little more cause she can definitely pull it off but it's no big deal.
This was who I had in mind when I was typing that....

yeah definitely. Makoto's skirt is right at her knees, not a justice related photo but the only one I have saved rn am lazy

Does anyone have any good sailor starlights? I feel like they're impossible to do correctly without shooping to hell and back

I like it when people do lesser seen but still iconic outfits.


Wow we've gone from unstyled flat wigs against people's forehead to over styled almost Sephiroth type bangs.

Anyone got an idea where to get a good quality tiara in Europe without paying a fortune in shipping? I know Catzias is usually recommended, but damn, I pay twice as much as for the tiara itself in shipping

>That manface Saturn

>>9422421
Not as perfect as that one cosplayer who went on to write lesbian fantasy romance novels. I cannot remember her face but she and her Neptune remain the undefeated champions imho.

This post would be more constructive if I could remember her name and had a picture. They also did Urena and Takarazuka cosplay?

>>9425010
Tattoo covered moon and you complain about the saturn?

>>9425215
The tats on Moon and Neptune should have been airbrushed out by the photog, sure, but I doubt the manface could have been saved without some severe editing and makeup.

What is the best place to buy the peachx john lingerie

>>9425326
if you mean specifically the sailor moon ones, just look for knock offs now. The original run is sold out.

Otherwise, you can buy straight from Peach John's website as long as you have a shipping service like Tenso.

Self post. I'm planning on fixing this up for Momocon (specifically, the hiproll, the bodysuit to fit better, getting the boots color to match the satin better, also working on less bitchy facial expressions) If anyone has advice for the hip roll I would love to hear it!

The satin color is too warm, it should actually be more bluish like the boots but I guess there's nothing you can do about that. Also, please get a better wig; what you're wearing looks like Mercury's hairstyle. It should be a straight bob the comes just above the shoulders, like pic related.

As for the hip roll, I think the puff shape looks ok, but the 'v' needs to be deeper so maybe try pulling it down a bit if it's separate from the bodysuit? The center points look a bit separated from each other so you could hand-stitch them together so they look more like one piece?

Makes me think of this which I just found this week.

>>9424992
Fuck this was my dream cosplay as a kid. Now that I'm older I'm not quite confident in showing off that much skin, plus I'm a darker skinned asian and I don't think those colors suit me at all haha

>airbrushed out by the photog

Or they should have never mutilated their body to begin with and we should shame them like the sluts they are.
