The last thread was really nice and crafting is a good way to spend quarantine. Is anyone learning a new skill, or getting caught up on old projects? Please share them here!
I'm learning how to make rosaries myself, I'll share a few pics of what I'm working with once I clean up my mess. I never done this before, so I'm learning as I'm going. I have a question for more experienced jewelry makers: for cutters, I just found out that there's diagonal and side cutters, so what would be better to use to get a nice clean cut on the eye pins? I've just been using the shitty cutter in my rosary pliers, but I can't get a nice flush cut that isn't sharp, and I can't always tuck the sharp part into the bead. Haven't seen one in a while so figured I'd start one! Quarantine gets lonely, meet new people here.

Show off handmade wonders! Misako Aoki has just celebrated her 37th birthday. She’s been a model and figure within the lolita community since she was 16 years old.
Do you like her? Dislike her? What are your favorite coords of hers? Did Misako inspire you at some point during her career? Idk what happened to previous thread, so here we go.

It seems like when a cosplayer can't get it right they just take pictures yanking it up like this which makes me cringe. What's the answer? FB has seen a surge in tag groups and the claims that they’re “worse than cgl”... they exist alongside the growing activity in general j-fashion groups that don’t enforce strict fashion guidelines. Thoughts on the FB salt mines? Are they too harsh? Are they warranted? Or we all just sick of seeing every pastel sweater being called jfashion? Last thread hit the image limit >>10361182

How are you guys faring so far with the cancellations? Do you have a back up plan or are you starting to panic? I'm very close to considering attending Anime Matsuri this year from all the way from the DC area just to get out of the house after 2-3 months.
I've heard about the convention many years ago but I need to know what to expect. If you look at anime characters, their legs are usually very slim. Even those who have thick bodies would translate into a thin body IRL.
So IMO girls who have very slim bodies look the best while doing cosplay.
Girls who have normal bodies look like a "fat" version of the character.
Does anyone else thinks the same??? How about a thread on cosplay of characters unofficial looks, Wheater it be fan art, concept art of recolors.
As long as it capturs the essence of the character
no ballgowns or just wig cosplays please Don't post Daily EGL pics here, make a new thread for them, otherwise it'll get too muddled up.
What do we think about the new mods?

This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.

What kind of dolls do you collect? Do you dress your dolls in lolita? Do you sew for them? What are your grail dolls? Let’s discuss and post pretty pictures of dolls. I have neither the skill nor the patience to make my own cosplay. The character I would like to cosplay as isn't popular enough to have a pre-built cosplay, so I would need to get one commissioned.

What is Deco-Lolita?
>A crossover between decora fashion and lolita fashion that gained popularity around 2007
>Usually involves a large amount of accesories, occasional colored wigs, layering and use of toys as props or accessories
What is OTT Sweet Lolita?
>A sweet lolita coordinate worn to it's most dressed up potential
>Gained a lot of popularity around 2010.
>Usually involves heavier makeup, use of a wig or very full hair
>Usually involves a "full" coordinate worn as a set, OP or JSK
What is the difference?
>The main difference is that Deco-lolita involves higher levels of accessorization and color coordination. Deco-lolita is also older. https://www.anime-expo.org/2020-lite/
Wait, what? Sup /cgl/
As a cosplayer that I am, I am predicting that, when events come back, there will be a great influx of nods, parodies, or things related to our very own COVID-19.
I would like to discuss with you people some things:
When events come back, what will be the dynamics? Will we need to disinfect our costumes after each day of events? How many people will be allowed to enter events, and how big will they be?
And more related to Corona-chan/other costumes directly related to them (like Hazmat personnel): Will the community accept these characters? Will a person be able to cosplay Corona-chan without getting shunned publicly for 'sexualizing something that caused death and suffering' or something like that?
Thank you in advance. This lockdown is really getting to me. I'm 22 and cons are, or were, my main method of socializing and hooking up with people. Most of my friends were people I met at cons, I used to like to go to at least one a month. Even had a Jynx cosplay from League planned out. I miss:
>The group cosplays
>My friends, who are scattered around the country
>Hooking up with hot guys (I only match with ugly dudes on Tinder, whereas at cons I can do way better for some reason?)
>The raves
>The drugs at the raves
>The room parties and naughty shit we all got up to there
>Just meeting random people and having a great time
Anyone else feel the same way? When is this all going to end so we can get back to debauced and dressed up? I just wanted to show off my latest cosplay, especially since I'm new here. I hope to make a lot of friends. Is anyone else a Scott Pilgrim fan? I just want a colossal thread. Can be either the main con or east. The east pic was already in my phone. Did you get a room for either? Have to deal with the movement of main? Have a cosplay lined up? Discuss. Chouzuki Maryou is BBW model from the Philippines who lives in Japan and does erotic cosplay. Her original claim to fame was cosplay of Cattleya that started making the rounds in 2009 so she is well established and in her early 30s by now.
Here is the most recent gallery on e-hentai that was put up today: https://e-hentai.org/g/1650177/05dac2b15d/
And one that was made later with the permission of the hentai artist Kotoyoshi Yumisuke who even does fan-art of her to get you aquatinted with her style: https://e-hentai.org/g/1595128/825d622fae/
There has been a semi-organized effort on e-hentai to collect unpublished Roms of her. Does anyone here know of a way to help out? What do you think of her? And so on. BBW models rarely have mass appeal but she has been doing this for over a decade and hast almost 100.000 Twitter followers. Let's get some irredeemable itas in here.

Image source: https://www.weibo.com/1828867190/IiuADpw1s I want to cosplay a greek hoplite. What essential things would I need to do that? Inspired by discussion happening in other threads, there is some talk about the Japanese interpretation of the lolita "ruides" or guide versus the western.
For example, 10 years ago a newbie lolita might have been told to avoid black/white, cat ears and striped socks even though those are all common staples in the lolita fashion, and not elements that automatically make an outfit not lolita.
Are there any guides on the lolita look from magazines or Japanese resources? Do you or have you ever lightly cosplayed in public? i.e wearing an outfit based on a character but adapted more to a modern clothing style, involving similar colors or light leitmotifs. Purgatorio/Paradiso 2020 Thread
Are you tuning in this weekend? Will this set a standard for virtual lolita events in the future? Working on a doom cosplay. Any tips? Someone have this pdf files? So, accurate cosplay is now considered racist. What the fuck is happening to cosplaying? Why the fuck are people who never read the original material calling this racist in the first place?

Fuck these people. So, I’m a dude who enjoys cosplay. I’m clueless about makeup for the most part, but I know that it usually comes with the territory, even if it’s a human character. When photos are taken of me in cosplay but without makeup, some Dorian Gray type shit happens and my skin always makes me look like a corpse. As such, I will sometimes attempt to correct that, but due to my lack of knowledge in the field, I don’t really know what to use.
What are some makeup products that people view as necessities for any cosplay? Doesn’t have to be anything specific like body paint, just stuff that broadly applies to most characters even if the character doesn’t wear makeup canonically.

I matched with this lolita on Tinder a while back, she was so pretty, exactly my age (21) and I had strong feelings for her. I complimented her on her coord. She was surprised that I knew what that was. We talked a while, she seemed interested and talkative, I was happy. Then she didn't respond for a while, and I embarassingly sent her a few angry desperate heartfelt messages blatantly confessing my love for her. I felt so embarassed afterwards that I unmatched from her, I couldn't handle the embarassment. I regret that.
To this day I regret that. We could've been something. I'm posting here in the likelihood that she uses /cgl/. Are you there? Is it weird to cosplay as an original character? What are your thoughts?

Featured Soloist: Galaxy Girl Paida
No starter topic, just wanted to make this because the previous thread was in autosaging.
However, Galaxy Girl Paida is in the last round of of the idol contest ran by Sayaka Iichi. If she finishes in the top 10 she will be able to be a part of the in person auditions this summer. Please consider voting for her on Mysuta! Nyaruchu has a great video on how to vote for her: https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHnwohj_Jx/ What makes lolitas so sensitive towards lowballing?
I'm genuinely asking. Isn't it easier to give some basic ass polite rejection and move on the day? Last thread reached its limit >>10373417
As mori girl, dolly kei and the like haven't been popular enough lately to keep own threads alive, why not a general thread for all those natural vintage styles that often overlap to begin with.
>Mori styles and brands guide (japanese): https://woman.mynavi.jp/article/190828-8/ I have a sewing machine and all. I’m not comfortable sharing a photo(I’m a new user) but I have the DR3 outfit. I don’t have the tights but I’m thinking about painting it.
For my wig I used an old black one that I used on halloween before I got into cosplay and brushed out and straightened yarn as wefts. The horns aren’t on a headband but actually a part of the wig using cardboard.
Mostly, I need accessories. Any favorites of yours? Preferably on amazon(and affordable, of course). I’m still pretty new to cosplay too.
Hope this fits on this board. Old thread died because it had a shit OP pic. All nail related topics go here!
I'll dump some images too so lmk any requests. Couldn't find one in the catalog edition Have had no luck finding menhera/yami kawaii stores online, any recommends? im planning on doing a cosplay of Sugar Rush Evelynn from LoL, just posting on here to ask if anyone else has done it and what difficulties they had?? this can go for any evelynn skin too bc claws r hard brrrr We haven't had one in a while

sorry if I didn't find all of them. The picture is from the 46th edition of Fruits magazine Made this since there was a lot of off-topic talk on another thread. I've been finding cute things on my online shopping adventures and wanted to share in case anyone here would be interested.
Among the normie brands people recommend for high-quality bags (Kate Spade, Betsey Johnson, Vivienne Westwood) I'd also suggest Ted Baker, pictured What characters do you consider are very hard or impossible to cosplay? And why is that?
Pic related for me because you'd have to have a certain charisma and aesthetic alongside being quite fit,not to mention facial structure. We have one for cosplay, so let's have one for lolita How comes there're so many SJWs in this comm? I really didn't want to ask because I know I'll cop shit but how do you get cum stains/smell out of a lolita dress? I have a sax sugary carnival that got coated with it and I've tried everything gentle I could find online. I think it's not coming out because I didn't notice it till awhile after it had dried.
I could get some out after the first wash but there is bits stuck in the seams of the bow.
I don't want to use anything harsher since I don't want to ruin the print. Is there any way to salvage this? It's my favourite dress.
>inb4 you shouldn't have had sex in it in the first place
I know I shouldn't have really but my boyfriend really wanted to do it so I let him on the promise that he not touch the dress but he thought it'd be more inline with our roleplay that he not listen to me and now it's fucked. Last thread: >>10392900
That pose some lolitas do for pictures that looks similar to ballet's fourth position looks awkward and unflattering on pretty much everyone. So a guy invited me go with his group to a con in Germany. Obviously it has been canceled because of Corona but it still piqued my interest and I hope it'll still be held in September. Not gonna lie my main motivation is to go to meet some girls and party hard with people who actually share my interests instead of randoms in techno clubs. The people I go with will go for a cosplay and I'm thinking about also doing so. But I've never dressed up like that and I'm a bit insecure.
What do you recommend for a first timer? Do I try to make a costume myself or I should I go for a premade one? What are some things I should be aware of concerning picking a cosplay and cons in general.
I'd be really glad if you could point me in some direction since I'm really looking forward to this. Dump whatever you want from the groups. I'll dump the latest daily egl since I'm not in cof anymore. Just posting what leftover Mai cosplay & random cosplay pics I have in my folder. Enjoy! I’m trying to make a costume and figured that while this board is made for cosplaying. They could help me make a decent Halloween costume. I want to dress as season 2 Rapunzel but I have no idea where to find the clothing I need. The hair and makeup should be easy at least. I do want a cosplay quality one while on a budget. Perhaps maybe $100 total. Can you all help me? Previous thread>>10240413

> Vendetta post ffs Because of the novel coronavirus, the witch tea party in Nagoya has been canceled. However, people are invited to "attend" by posting their witchy looks between May 10th and May 24th, using the hashtag #名古屋魔女集会2020. People from all over are invited to "attend" even if they are not from Nagoya. According to the guidelines, which I will link below, flatlays or coords without your face are okay, but cosplay is not welcome.
Please enjoy these coordinates from this virtual witches' gathering.
>guidelines: https://mobile.twitter.com/sironokiku_/status/1256767827614167041 To start the convo how much of a discount you may ask before seller decides you're nuts and declines the deal? As Tokyo begins enacting stricter physical distancing measures, alternative fashionistas are staying active in the scene via the "home Harajuku" (おうち原宿) tag.
Here are some coords from the tag on Twitter, as well as some cloth mask coords to continue >>10369123 which reached the image limit. Outside of Visual Kei artists, what music makes /cgl/ think of lolita and Japanese fashion? Post and discuss capsules, request concrit, don't be pedantic

>How big is/are your capsule(s)?
>Do you have a formula for making capsules? To balance out the OTT thread >>10395974, lets have a casual sweet thread
Some questions to start off with
>What is your definition of casual lolita? Is it casual by lolita standards or normie standards?
>What makes an outfit casual or not?
>What is easier to wear casually: OPs, JSKs or skirts?
>Can wigs ever be considered casual? Hi gulls! What is your thoughts on cosplay of famous drag queens? Comic con Toronto and other small events in Ontario got cancelled other's could have the same destiny.
>How's your place handling with the coronavirus?

discord. gg/bFuk5na I know jack shite about cosplaying. How would I cosplay as this guy? While almost every part of the conventions will be cancelled for the rest of the year, there is one part of conventions you can emulate at home, and that's watching awkward or entertaining panels
What are the best anime convention panels to fill time during this uneventful time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIuw_Ut3unA
I found this one to be entertaining Hey guys anyone remember that Russian anime about some cosplay girls?
I think it first started airing in 2016-8 and was really informative. P: 0 other user on this page
