What shops carry basic bloomers?
Any shops that sell decent striped thigh highs or tights? Looking for some striped legwear with wide strips, but most listings I find sell legwear with thin stripes.
>>10293259Cat Tea party. They have several styles and lengths, in many color choices as well. I own a few and the quality is good. I personally love these: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=42098669900
I saw this brand pop up on Twitter. https://flowerknows.taobao.com/I'm not sure if I'd buy makeup from Taobao still but man the packaging is cute. Their holiday collection has teddy bears all over it.
>>10293424Flowerknows is the makeup brand of Hana and Baozi (cosplayers). So I guess slightly less sketchy?
How old is too old?Do many people cosplay beyond 35?

>>10272829You better be fit n cute if you're 30+.
>>10293356>fit n cuteDude, it's cosplay, not an olympic event. Most cosplayers are average, not even cute. Being fit helps with everything, as does being attractive. But if you're fugly and 19 have fun and cosplay. anyway. There's always someone out there to judge you regardless.
>>10284562No it's a portmanteau of Costume and Play and your only duty as a participant is to have fun.

>>10293293with the longer lace, you can just pull the OTK down a little, and the fold won't be visible under the lace. but I guess that depends on your height - I'm 166cm.
>>10293352Im looking to buy a pair i dont already have. Im looking for something with long lace that i can buy rn.
>>10293246Maybe unpopular opinion but if the bag doesn’t match the coord, just don’t have it in your outfit shot. People are becoming autist about matching bags; I’d rather have something comfortable and functional
>>10293154No set date yet they’ll call you and probably announce on Twitter
>>10293288Does their backorder form work for Usakumyas? I assumed not because the bows, etc. are different colors each release a lot of the time but if there was a way to backorder one of the more plain ones like the white Usakumya with white bow combo I would love that since my wardrobe is either all old school or stuff with white
No minors pls
>>10293384My lita
>>10293344obviously old school has different rules than sweet lolita.>>10293330>nayrt why do people do this? who cares if you're a different person.
>>10293395Yep, it was tagged jfashion and lolitafashion and bunch of ddlg shit...I can feel your pain, sis
>>10293436it's bro actually :pi check out tumblr (wait a sec, you can shoot me later) occasionally and as soon as i see the lolita fashion tag, i see Polyvore collages of bondage gear and pastel skirts. they make Sugary Carnival look like an ageplayer's fantasy and it's not fun. keep your kink out of my egl, cunt.
>>10293416Nayrt, careful you don’t cut yourself on that edge
Animenyc general, how’s everyone doing
>>10292706I feel like the BHA stuff was balanced by all the Demon Slayer stuff this year
>>10292578I do actually. I go as Rob Lucci. I’m usually the one who brings the cosplayers to the big companies to get featured on their websites and vids. 1st AnimeNYC I went as Law.
>>10292706Nah, there were more Zenitsu's than anything this year. >>10292775 This.The thing is, the UA uniform is "free" effortless cosplay, that's why so many do it.
>>10292900Had a friend complaining about effortless cosplay like this. But imo it's not like it's out of place either.>>10292893Saw you this year but I didn't know if you were the same guy from /cgl/. Nice to know though, will be on the lookout next year.
>>10291875Rie was adorable. Typical q&a stuff, but she did do a live dub of Toradora and a few voices of charater prompts (don't know what else to call it)
i have hoarded many photos of jfashionistas that i think have artistic value beyond the usual coord shot or selfie. i would like to share some. they will include all kinds of Japanese alternative fashion, and subjects may be any age or gender; and they will NOT be images from publications such as KERA, Fruits, etc.; so i hope there will be good inspiration for a variety of seagulls.this is a continuation of a prior thread, which reached the image cap: >>10284337in that thread, i posted photos demonstrating some trends i have noticed in Japanese alternative fashion photography. these included portraits taken in themed studios (>>10284338), colorful backgrounds that match or complement the coord (>>10284374), portraits that demonstrate the personality of the subject (>>10284386), manipulated surreal portraits (>>10284428), scenic portraits (>>10284458), urban portraits (>>10285277), "mundane environment or situation" portraits (>>10285851), and some unusual props (>>10287128) and more studio portraits to close the thread by reaching the image limit (>>10292305).for this thread i plan to share portraits that demonstrate other trends.

>>10292828I still can't get over how this girl defended wearing that blouse because "else it leaves and odd gap at the neck area looking bad" after someone commented about it looking bulky at the neck. Either she wears it wrongly that it looks that bad without, or she never saw tradition Asian clothes. Probably both.
>>10293369Nah it’s literally just a set. Not bad, but anything she had any control over she did poorly
>>10293357>her friendsLol are you sure it's not just her?
>>10293404Learn to english kek.
Thoughts on this? While the ahegao hoodies are cringy, they aren’t actually unsafe, so I personally feel like the con is overreaching. If the purpose is to create a family-friendly environment, then what about suggestive cosplays? What about cosplays from R18 media? What about the R18 dakis in the artist alleys which are 3 post-its from being full NSFW?
If this gets popular with other cons it'll just make some people rebel by creating new shirts that offend in other ways. i.e. ryona shirt
So sunny bans a hoodie yet still has sellers sell loli body pillows? Yes, sounds about right!
I love my 2017 hoodie fuck the law.

Can this idiot get anymore annoying? Dear lord, the fact she keeps sucking MLD'S dick annoys the shit out of me. Judging from her tone from the comment I can bet she also was the one who messaged Lor about the harassment as well. Did anyone get caps from that post? It looks like it was deleted.
>>10293320Similar feel I was wearing gothic and my sister has taken interest and I'm also buying her some stuff for Christmas.

>>10292295Who the hell is that?
>>10293234Is that how it’s pronounced? Why does their Facebook just say Bless...?
>>10293399Mostly because Facebook wouldn’t allow allow them to have the period in the name. But anything they post or speak they say dotBless. I assume they took the idea from the series .hack.
What is a cosplay that is easy and can't be fucked up for those just getting into it? >pic related
>>10277741I think a white shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers are easier to get then a prison uniform from 1910.
Going as him for DakuCon
A lot of characters from ghibli are good sewing projects for beginners
>>10277375Get any form of casual outerwear like trucker hats, cargo shorts, running shoesThen get a toy pokeball, pokemon plushieCongrats, Ur a random pokemon trainer
>>10290550only good answer in this thread. I wouldn't recommend "low effort" and overly simple cosplays composed of normie clothes for beginners because that's a slippery slope into shitty closet cosplays. if you wanna pull of super simple cosplays you need to pay a lot of attention to cleanness, decent makeup and hair.

>>10292986charm source? its cute
>>10293095Puffiology on etsy>>10293062Yeah kind of figured, first time making charms so even the hardware is new to me. Thanks!
Is it bad taste to make Untitled Goose Game merch? They're a pretty small company which usually means they're pretty strict about fan merch, but there's a lot on etsy, so it seems like they aren't cracking down on it. They were also funded by a government grant so it's not like they're entirely indie.
>>10293310Someone already asked them about fan merch and they said they were fine with it.
hey australians, foreigner interested in tabling at one of your cons. Anime Festival/Madfest seems to be pretty insistent on no bootleg/'pirated' items -- this just refers to stuff like boot figs/anime dvds etc or is fanart not allowed at all?

>>10292822the feels thread belongs there. it's a bunch of off topic posting and sex obsessed men
>>10293203Do you mean with the money from the ticket sales? I’ve never been in that situation but I’d be tempted if it was something small, like $10 or less. I wouldn’t do more unless it was a super huge elaborate event. Most event planners charge a lot so if you’re going all that work for free I’d say go for it, especially if it doesn’t mean compromising on the event. If it’s a situation where someone else is looking at the books, just make it an actual formal planning fee and write a receipt.
