anyone going to anime central? if so, do you have a cosplay planned? any events you dont want to miss?(also im the only female in a group of attendees and therefore cant stay in the room, so id love to pitch in if anyone has extra room in female only space)
>>10763316>>10763376>>10763351>All this over planning and wasted cost.You just need several cops at registration to enforce vaccines cards o get a badge. After that, if someone wants to flaunt mask policy they can be dealt with by the con.But I see some of the others want to distract from common sense solutions.
>>10756498isnt everyone a pedophile rapist on the chans?>>10756512niggaz dont play surrpriset there isnt a shootut at a con yet

>>10728812god those look so good
>>10679560love it when girls are bottomless in public
>>10755473A cutsew for sure. Made it way easier to wear lolita casually than my blouses. Also solid/nonprint headbows and hair acessories. Way more versatile and offer new ways to coord things.
>>10728812damn love the blue fire one, I like it on her and I'd also like it for me as a guy
>>10755473Smaller brand headbands with bows. I used to think offbrand ones worked fine, but the bows don't quite have the same shape a lot of the time. My most worn headwear is a HeartE black headband with a bow on it.

>>10746773>Aqua>pantiesdoing it wrong
>>10757206I'm still trying to hone my super clever joke about that for whenever I see an Aqua cosplayer. Same with female Ace cosplayers, since they're going as a perpetually shirtless character
>>10747542thanks for a legitimate answer
>>10757206The Light Novel has shown her with panties
I've lost a decent amount of weight in the past few months. One I get down to my goal weight I'll be able to do the cosplay I want, but until then I'm not gonna be a fat version. Skinny jeans here I come.
I just got my first sewing machine from a yard sale, a Singer 237. I oiled it and made sure everything is working, it just needs a new belt which I've already ordered. In the mean time I'd love to start learning. Anyone have a favorite youtuber who does beginner sewing tutorials? I'd like to sew for cosplay when I'm more proficient, but in the immediate future I'd like to concentrate on basic dress making and copying a couple of my favorite dresses that are starting to wear out. All advice is appreciated! Favorite thread, best material for practicing with, favorite patterns, etc.
>>10761837Best of luck!Also, I agree right back with what >>10761910said!
>>10761910>tfw have had current sewing machine for 10+ years and just now starting to use the walking footI always thought it was just for quilting, but I didn't even use it when I made my two quilts lol That walking foot is amazing for knit fabric
>>10757487I got my deal from T-Mobile Tueadays and found extra savings on Hip2Save. Thought it was only valid at the beginning of the year so I'm glad you were able to still sign up!
>>10762184Be my wife???
>>10762184honestly I use it for literally all fabric and all use cases (except when I need a specialty foot like button hole or zipper). The ONE issue with it is that it takes up a lot of space and obscures the needle so fine sewing can get a lil dicey.
How do you guys manage to get your cosplays going? I want to go as Dante but every single website selling a costume of his is always shady and shitty reviews. What professionals are you guys/or seeing to be able to get your dream cosplays going? I'm willing to spend or budget just to be able to dress as him since I'm a cosplaylet who has only went as Joker from Persona 5 since my friend's mom made it for me for like 20-40 dollars which was sweet of her but now I am lost on what to do since she doesn't do them no more.Found this on Amazon which I want but it's a shady chinese brand so you know that's not going anywhere.>tl;drHow do you guys do it? Buying online or not.
>>10762603A majority of us here on the board make our own costumes, so...
>>10762603If you wanna make your own cosplay, do something within the bounds of your abilities. Look up tons of tutorials. If you wanna just throw money at it then either buy premade chink shit off ebay/amazon or have it commissioned by a well rated professional. I personally like building props/armor for my cosplay, but hate to sew/style wigs. So I do what I can and either buy/commission the rest.
This is the place for seamstresses, so a lot do build their own.As for me, I don't build often enough, or have the drive for the effort to build from scratch every time. The easy mode way if you have the tools is to buy a cheap costume, and clean it up yourself.Like a quarter the effort for something possibly as good. Long as the base costume isn't a complete bust
>>10762625lmfao boomers.

>>10758977Thank you for clearing this up. They had the large coffin in their store but it was never for sale until the 20th anniversary. >>10758971 is a dumb newbie and should be shamed for spouting wrong information.
>>10758972It’s for dolls, retard.
>>10760635Shit take, nonna. Too bad you can’t buy taste.
Thank you AATP
>>10762520This is some professor Layton proportion type shit right there
I love solid white, ivory & cream coords with a lot of lace. They have a very romantic vibe, and seem inspired by victorian dolls and coonfirmation dresses. These kind of outfits often overlap with aristo or shinori, and seem to be more popular in Japan, featuring indie brands such as Abilletage, Physical Drop.I don't know if it has a specific name?I'll be dumping what I have saved in my folder.
What’s the point of super edited cosplay like this? Does it not bother them knowing that they don’t look like the extremely edited versions of themselves? How do they even go to cons still without filters and photoshop slapped onto them in real life?
>>10762386>How do they even go to consBoomer detected. Current gen cosplayers don't give a shit about cons. They cosplay for social media views and clout. Do YOU post unedited photos to your instagram? Of course not. And neither does anyone else. Especially people from Asian countries who only care about idol fantasies anyway.
>>10762399No, it’s really not. It’s just expected that everyone photoshops a lot.
>>10762437again, no. you're incorrect.
>>10762399Not from what I've heard and seen, but I'm curious to hear why you believe it is.>>10762437lmao thank you for the support, anon.
>>10762402I think >>10762397 said it best. Personally, I completely agree with you but obviously some people see its value and enjoy it. I am not those people.
Who is this?
>>10762226is that her dad or her sugar daddy... either way, i'm disturbed

>>10762449Someone save those poor plushies :(
I see this con overcorrected and is now running a racist cosplay contest... "The 1st place winner will be crowned “Black Cosplayer of the Year! With a combination of cash, prizes, and cosplay guest articulated invites (the 2021 winner guested at 3 cons following Blerdcon), the BCOY will return as a guest cosplayer for the Blerdcon 2023! All this in addition to a 4k photo and video shoot ON SITE!! The Black Cosplayer of the Year will also win a trip to Costume College 2023 in California! Costume College is an annual three-day costuming arts conference created and produced by Costumer’s Guild West, Inc. The prize package includes airfare up to $400, student tuition for lectures, workshops and demos on all things costuming, a two-night stay at the Warner Center Marriott, and tickets to the tea and gala "
>>10762072>Or at least a cosplay of a canonically female character I guess since crossplay is a thing.So a white cosplayer could enter the black cosplay contest so long as they're wearing blackface?
>>10762329>It's not like they don't allow other races, the last winner was literally a white woman.The entire thread is bitching because this year they changed it, and the contest is really only for black cosplayers.It's the only award with a real prize.
>>10762024If you're not attending this con, why is it in your head rent free?
I hardly see any good black cosplayers. They never put as much work into their stuff as non blacks. When's the last time youve seen a black cosplayer make a full tailored set by themselves? Or their own foam armor?
>>10762329>A lot of people hate blacks.No one at conventions hate blacks. Just the annoying race baiting ones. Who knew being an insufferable person constantly complaining about black rights will make you not fun to be around.
Previous thread >>10751251
>>10762473I don't think they use as much of the textured cotton releases, but I have several of their newer releases and one was a thicker, nice cotton (sugar boquet) and the other was a lighter cotton but not see-through (fallin ribbon). I was satisfied with both quality, especially since they still use cotton lace.
Photos of Candy Fairy are starting to pop up.
>>10762547Fuck yes I'm so excited to hear back from my ss
More Candy Fairy, stolen from instagram.
>>10763582It looks like ass. I’m glad I didn’t buy this itchy looking thing.
recommended hentai-esque cosplays?It's not for ecchi con (can't afford the trip) but friends are hosting a hentai cosplay party, and I wanna be sure I build something for the themeeCurrently thinking about: "Let me solo her" Elden RingBut It feels hella niche rn(heres their flyer if anyone's lurking from sofla)
>>10759266You Will Never Be The Opposite Sex

>>10752732I'm so bummed I couldn't attend this. I wanted to see Human Fluid Rot at a con.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am34GLu2-C0&ab_channel=EndeTymes
>>10752732>hentai-esque cosplaysPlastic little should be within the acceptable, even i fyou used latex.
No one going to this will be attractive. Everyone is a mega coomer who only cares about cooming instead of forming an actual meaningful relationship with people.
>tattoosSeeing way too many girls at cons with tats all over their bodies. It's fine to have them but they really ruin the look.
>>10758647No one cares. Its easier for moids to be fit. Stfu retard
>>10758694Its so funny how delusional and mentally ill you are. Youre a male. You live life on easy mode because this world caters to you in every single way and you still find time to get mad at women kek pathetic.
>>10758935Female anime characters look like strippers nowadays because moids are eternal coomers so what do you expect
>>10758644All according to plan
>>10758608If you're really committed to cosplay you just won't get them in the first place. I have no body mods for this reason
