Maybe it's a flexibility thing, like maybe she has kick ass turnout. Bitch must be awesome at ballet.

Trading decent cosplay for a provactive pose. Haven't seen that one before...

>>9503644
I'm pretty sure it's from an AV. I think remember other photos where her costume is torn/half off.

>>9502397
I really like this Jupiter, the teased ponytail is a nice touch

>>9503644
I can't hold it against her because that pose is pretty impressive. Homegirl has some fantastic back and upper body strength.

>>9503704
Oh for sure, it's just her cosplay is shit. But if it really is from an AV, like what >>9503648

Idgi? The Uranus' wig may need some help, and that Usagi cosplayer has to make peace with her age and accept that pancake make up can't hide the ravages of time, but her costume seems okay save for the mega-buns. Everyone else is on point.

What am I missing?

...okay, on second look, maybe the Usagi isn't the only one that needs to make peace with their age in that pic. The Venus really is the only one that looks right.

After your late twenties the senshi outfit is going to look so cringey. Why not go for the Neo Tokyo look with the coronation dresses or even wedding dresses?

It's more about the drama surrounding the group itself rather than the quality of their cosplays. Check the archives for more info on luxedolls so it doesn't get drawn out in here again.

In your opinion, what makes a Serenity dress stand out from the rest? It's been done so many times that I'm curious where peoples standards are

getting that fucking bodice right stylistically and in proportion to your boobs.

Years ago I figured out that people making it need to make the dress right THEN make a bodice piece that can go over the bodice of the dress by tacking it down. That way if you make a mistake or find out the stuff you are using just isn't working you don't have to start again on a new dress. You can just cut a new bodice and try again. The overlay can be hidden by the trims and pearls your use.

Advanced makers can hide a corset in the first layer of the dress to keep it up without straps and then make the outer layers the proper shape to hide the corset.

>>9507343
I mean, from a sewing standpoint that's not how I'd do it because you need the scalloped edge up top to be sewn right from the get go to tack the pieces to.

Realistically, I'd just figure my measurements, how many circles Serenity's dress has in canon, and then figure out what diameter each circle must have to have that many circles across over bust. I could go to the trouble to make a mock up, but really i'd probably just pin the disks to the lining to test it before finishing the garment.

Any advice on getting a good Usagi wig? I'm going to a con in two weeks and my friend (her first con) wants all of us to dress up. Not full-cosplay, but 'characters in casual-wear' sort of thing. I've been looking around and I'm seeing wigs where the buns are detachable and I'm seeing ones that are all sorts of different color blonde. Should I get a 'pre-styled' wig? Or would I be better off getting a really long blonde wig and styling it myself? Any help is extremely appreciated!

Holy crap, the class is real.

Meanwhile, Sailor Moon Cosplayer page? Can I get a link? The SM cosplay group I followed has been dead since 2015 and I'd love to meet Sailor Moon cosplayers in my area.

>>9510174
>QueenieCosplay

Yeah, wow. Caking on make up does not help assuage the effects of time, damn. Do a Queen Serenity or Neo Queen Serenity or even Sailor Cosmos, but seven pounds of foundation and a MAC stores worth of eyeliner isn't helping that face pass for anything under 27. The frothing cup of crazy really doesn't help.

Most Sailor Moon cosplayers seem fine, but it's like every 15 years there's a new loony toon out to top the last loony toon in terms of sheer batshit craziness. And it's always Usagi they latch on to, too.

>>9510174
I thought queenie styled those wigs for the group. As a commissioner doesn't that give her ownership?

>>9510344
Queenie probably over inflated what she did for the group and I'm sure they have been restyled since that photo. Either way I wouldn't trust anything that Queenie person says.

>>9510240
kek she looks 40 trying to be 25 with all of that orange cakeface going on

>>9506631
why the hell would you post this and stir this up again?

>>9510174
From her post it sounds like this Queenie girl made the wig but the issue here is that she is using photos without permission.

Who the fuck is this Queenie? Was she the Moon in the group?

Really? The post sounded like the girl in the picture made the wig for cheap and whatsherface is selling it for far more than it's worth.

If Queenie or w/e made the wig and then used the chicks photo of herself using the wig Queenie made and is trying to sell, I don't see the big deal.

If she didn't make that wig, however, and is using her friends picture and the image of her friends wig to sell her own shit, that's fucked up.

Her fukus seem fantastic but damn, girl. Her friends cant be all that close if none of them have pointed out that this shit is just embarrassing.

Holy shit is it just me or does she look like Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock?

>>9510385
It technically is that girl's photo and she owns it though.
I think the big deal is that that girl probably doesn't want to be associated or her image associated with Queenie. After seeing Queenie's instagram I can see why.

>>9510387
Trying to hide her age by pounding on the make up.

Look, you can't de-age yourself with make up. I'm in my late twenties doing a costume of an actress in her early twenties.

Other than taking care of your skin, there's little things you can do to *soften* your age like using light brown eyeliner instead of black or going lighter on your brows as opposed to dark, but simply putting your foundation on with a spatula is just going to age your face upwards. Don't do it.

>>9510394
She is probably on the middle to higher end of her thirties and needs to stop cosplaying teenagers if she is going to cake on that much make up. She legitimately looks 35-37 but with pounds of makeup looks 38-40.

>>9510393
It's a shame because unlike Usagi Kou that Queenie chick does seem remarkably good at sewing fukus. Hell, if she'd tone down the mega-buns, her Usagi wig has to be among the best Ive seen.

But damn, girl, learn some basic PR and calm down. All those posts about people using ~her bow designs? Lady, they're bows. Calm your tits.

Next time we're all tempted to skip moisturizer at night because we're tired and just want to go to bed, let us all remember this thread.

Also: there is no such thing as one size fits all foundation. This is someone with dry skin using full coverage foundation (maybe powder, too) that is bad for dry skin.

Sailor Moon Says: Know your skin type before you go foundation shopping.

>>9510399
I saw that bow nonsense. No one cares. Bows have been around forever and if anyone could lay any claim to sailor bow patterns, it is Sparkle Pipsi. At least everyone else has the decency to credit Sparkle Pipsi unlike Queenie.

>>9510405
She looks like she has had a ton of botox in this pic as well. She is not aging gracefully at all.

>>9510405
She looks like my moms age...and she is 54. That isn't good if she is what, 30? and looks mid 50's?

>>9510417
She is definitely older than 30. I'd wager 35.

She had to have botox, she has zero forehead wrinkles or eye wrinkles in newer photos as opposed to older ones

>>9510410
When it comes to skincare, remember: prevention is easier than getting rid of the issues after they're there.

If you have some fine lines that retin a cant touch, don't go to one of those "beauty spas" or "medical spa" things in strip malls. If you're developing fine lines and Retin A and Vitamin C haven't helped, find a good dermatologist and have a consultation. You don't want to go to Larrys Discount Botox and have half a gallon of botulism injected into your face like this unfortunate creature.

Skincare will never work if you treat it as a every six months get an injection kind of thing. If you put yourself into an e-z bake oven and then inject yourself with Botox and make up like this chick, the only person you'll be fooling is yourself.

Take care of yoselves, gulls. You'll be grateful when you hit this chicks age.

Which is it?

In no way is that minimal

>>9510509
A bright nude lip and black eyeliner aren't minimal make up. Minimal make up also means hues that aren't going to pop out at you like a harsh pure black and a nude pink three shades lighter than you are.

Minimal make up for someone of her age and skin tone would be a softer nude pink lip (not one that is bubblegum pink and far too light for her, I'd say maybe more of a coral pink?) brown eyeliner and light brown if not dark blonde eyebrows.

It's okay anon, no one really cares that much about canon heights. If it really bothers you find somewhere where everyone else can stand higher than you, that'll hide your true height.

At 5'1, I'm digging around for my tallest, platformiest heels to wear under a Neo Queen Serenity dress.

I feel like Serenity/NQS would have the long, willow-y features of someone tall.

Usagi is drawn short, but with long, graceful features. So you could have the right height but look a bit stumpy (even at 105lbs, short is short,) or you could be a little tall for Usagi, but have the same lithe features as her. It's either a lose/lose or win/win depending on how you look at it!

I think you guys are going to look great!

Holy shit that must have cost a pretty penny. When I looked for LED fabric it was something absurd like 500$ a yard.

Kinda disappointed in the bodice, though. You're going to pay all that for the fabric then flake out on the bodice?

It's not bad, just not my favorite interpretation. I think the crystals should've been replaced with something a little more intricate-looking, but I guess if you're only shooting the dress at night you can't really see those details well anyway.

I thought the same thing after seeing it on Clare Danes, but I don't think I could justify $500 a yard. You'd either have to sacrifice fullness or work really slowly, like buying the fabric one year then waiting anothe year to complete it.

I wonder...

I wonder if you could actually use that fabric but *under* the pleated chiffon? You could still get a full skirt and pleated fabric, but also get that nice diffused glow. Hmm...

It's 172 a yard on ebay so it's /slightly/ cheaper, but still pricey for a dress as voluminous as Serenity's.
I used about 10 yards of fabric per layer on my dress (double circle skirts), but that can be cut down to 5 or less if it's just an underlayer.

>>9513713
Alright gulls, I think we have a plan of attack. I think the chiffon would create a really nice diffusion of light, and using the LED fabric as an underdress would help cut down on the fabric at least.

So if we let ourselves daydream, what about the bodice? >>9500903 # showed you can do some amazing things with the embroidery.

Would you do conventional bead embroidery or work LEDs into the embroidery? Or do you think minimalist like the earlier LED dress?

What about the back bow?

I wonder if you could make a clear acrylic staff with lights...

My first thought was to do Reala's dress with it, but you're right, that would still be incredibly expensive even if it is shorter... I don't compete so I'd probably never do it, but it's a nice dream.

For LEDs, you could use conductive sewing thread in the embroidery? I'd personally just go with nice beading, since LEDs wouldn't present as well in sunlight. The staff could be clear acrylic tubling with a rope light inside, probably.
>>9513932
aaa that sounds wonderful anon! I've had some friends get good results with small string lights under dresses, if you want a cheaper alternative.

Kinda off topic, but last thread someone mentioned that Naoko Takeuchi really struggled throughout making Sailormoon, not having expected it to go on as long as it did and often fighting her own perfectionism in order to meet deadlines.

Anyone know where I can read more about this? All the google results for Naoko Takeuchi biography I'm getting are the run of the mill stuff- worked as a priestess, pharmaceutical school, published a few manga, Sailor Moon was successful, the end kind of deal.

>>9518376
Not sure if this has anything further on the exct subject, but this website has some translated interviews with her as well as the stuff she was inspired by: https://missdream.org/about-naoko-takeuchi/

>>9513520

I wish people would stop complaining that they can't sew or do anything else when if you take a quick look at their profiles they clearly make other things. Not to stir up drama, but the more anons that perpetuate this the longer it will go on. It seems unnecessary to keep whining at this point when it's been over a year since the drama started.

The construction on this one's a little unfortunate, it looks like it's falling off of her.

>>9518537
The beadwork is great and I could see making the dress look like it's going to fall off of her on purpose given the context of the dress, but I think that was less done on purpose and more that she hadn't quiiiite figured out under structure, underlining, interfacing and boning yet.

Still one of the cleaner attempts at the beading, though.

Anon, you could easily have a straight edged bodice. The overlay could have the scallops. Interface them right and they will stand up without help from the dress.

Omg, I see it.

The chiffon overdress looks way better when it's pleated!

On, for me, unprecedented news in Sailor Moon Cosplayer Drama: it seems like the chick from up thread actually learned a pretty good lesson.

Sucks people didn't have their costumes on time, but I gotta say, it's nice having a bad commissioner admitting their mistake and adjusting. She's a talented seamstress with bad time management, so only selling pre made costumes seems like reasonable, mature response.

How rare.

So mature

>>9520535
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sailor Moon cosplayers group is closed so I was just going by what I saw on Instagram.

Don't know about the etsy thing, that is bizarre, but I have no idea what Etsy's policies are when people complain so I can't really answer that one. But if people complain, maybe it's etsy policy to issue an immediate refund regardless of what the purchaser asked for, idk.

That meme, though.

Damn, I wanted to believe. So close to having a cosplayer take the mature route, admit they were in over their heads, and learn from their mistakes.

I can respect that a lot more than being a passive aggressive jerk because you got caught.

>>9520537
(Also, just in case, next time make sure to blur out the names like in pic related. People are jerks and artists and cosplayers have gotten in trouble because people used their real names to dox/harass them.

Cosplayers, please stick to user names. You don't want trolls leaking into your real life.)

>>9520537
>>9520559
Yes, please blur out FB names, anon. You're inviting problems by not doing so and essentially doxxing since a lot of those are actual personal profiles.

>>9520476
She is so full of crap. She's upset she got caught missing so many people's deadlines and they wanted refunds because she did not follow through with her end of the deal. A lot of those people would have not filed refund claims had Queenie actually responded to her clients in the first place. Queenie is lying like a madwoman and is trying to place blame on others instead of fully admitting she was at fault. She took on 19 commissions and did not order supplies in a timely manner and did not get started on working on several of them until 3-4 months in. She is lazy. And blaming Arda for the bun mess up is hilarious. They triple check and sign their orders. She ordered the wrong buns plain and simple and is blaming Arda.

>>9520542
I saw that on her live feed. She is trashy and in no way embodies any class.

Hey everyone. I'm going to be making a neo queen serenity cosplay from sailor moon crystal over the next few months. Any fabric recommendations and tips on how I should do the detailing on the bodice?

For the fabric of the skirt, it's far more cost-effective to get the chiffon in bulk. You can get 25 yard bolts of white chiffon off amazon or fabricwholesaledirect (They doubled the price recently, unfortunately, but it's still cheaper than getting individual yards). If you're doing double circle skirts for the layers, each layer is about 9-10 yards of chiffon. I'd also recommend doing a fishing line hem to give the dress more body and volume.

There are a variety of ways to embellish the bodice, but if you're not committed to doing something like tambour beading (the best result imo) then flatback pearls will give a cleaner looking result than normal pearl beading. Use glue syringes so you don't have a mess on your fabric.

I've seen some people buy pre-embellished circles and just attach those to the bodice, if you want the super easy route.

Busty does not always mean fat anon

>>9533057
Who cares if they are fat! This costume looks great on them from the neck down! It is well made and lovely and they actually look skinnier in this. Now if only she actually had a good wig and better makeup.

And btw this costume will make people with big boobs look fatter. I just had a kid so I have some weight to loose and it is going to take time to loose it, but before I got pregnant I was skinny and had a large chest. I had been that way since early high school, When I was 5'8" and weighed 145 pounds. Something like this would make me look fat when I was bony.

>>9533057
I gotta agree. She put all that effort into a gorgeous costume only to look terrible in it. I can't wrap my head around it. Obviously she's willing to put in the work into her costume, why not put the time to also work on looking good? There's a reason people don't want fat models, they tend to detract from the clothes and make them look bad.

Also, fat chicks: empire waists are not your friend. No one is thinking 'wow she's got big tits,' they are thinking, 'wow she looks like a blimp.'

>>9533057
The point was that her bust is fairly large relative to her waist unless you've got crazy fake mega tits

>>9533132
Shut up you insecure piece of shit. It would look fine if she just rearranged something to take out the boob roll.

Jesus Christ I shouldn't have brought up my bust. Some shitlords just can't help but turn anything in fat hate. For the record I've got a 40" bust and 29" waist and by the way I'm 5' 11" just in case you're going to tell me that's fat too.

>>9533279
Sorry you got shitty responses anon. I'm pretty busty too (37" bust and 23" waist), and I got the dress to stay up and look good by creating a full length corset-back bodice and just attatching the skirt in the correct place outside of it. The corset-style will compress your boobs quite a bit in addition to providing support to the weight of the skirt. Don't gather any of the skirt except the outside layer so there's less bulk under your boob.

It's not the same dress. I think she makes commissions for others. So it was one of the dresses she has made.

>>9534229

I'm so glad you have new content to look at. She has a LOT of stuff. Even the older things are pretty good.

She also staged an in costume piano recital. I couldn't find vid of that, but here is a different one.

I'm trying to convince a few of my friends to join me for their first con, but since they don't sew, I've been trying to look around for pre-made Sailor Scout suits. Any recommendations based off of personal experience?

>>9534159
This is how I planned on doing mine... Though I was going to gather all the layers at the waist. But I did plan to taper it in.

>>9534460
I did 2 double circle skirts of chiffon and one crepe satin underlayer. the doubling will give you the volume you need at the bottom without the bulk at the top, and then expanding the waist+ gathering for the top layer will give you the same look as her dress. The layers get thick really fast with multiple layers of gathering, otherwise.

>>9500759
Wow, great hair. Anyone knows where I could find a wig of similar length, if not longer?
