/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm trying to use the blouse pattern that comes with Simplicity 3847 (pic related), but modifying it to be longer to make a nurse dress. I'm completely lost as to how to do the collar, and the pattern instructions aren't helping me at all.

If someone could direct me to some sort of video tutorial that shows how to make this kind of collar that would be super helpful!

Some of my friends are ordering these in a group order I'm running, the shop has a great rating but they only come in this one color/size it looks like.

Okay since this afternoon I can't get Taobaoring's website to load at all, and I don't think it's my internet since I've been at my dorm half the day and my friend's house the other half and it hasn't worked at either.
I also just asked my friend to check on her computer and it loaded perfectly??

I feel so out of the loop with shopping services, the only two I've used were Pruany (which was my favorite) and Taobaospree, but both are kind of a hassle to buy from when you have a lot of items.
Any services recommended for big group orders?

I'm ordering through Taobaoring for the first time, and when I was almost done putting in my 40+ item group order it suddenly deleted everything in my cart. I guess I wasn't logged in or something, but now I am. And then after re-entering about 10 items, the site stopped loading.

Does Taobaoring have problems keeping track of big orders, or does the cart time out? Because this order is going to be the death of me if so.

And I'm out.

My mom doesn't want them lol. She normally loves cats but she says they're too weird; their mom was a stray so she claims they're "feral".

I had two cats, but when my mom broke up with her long-term boyfriend they went to live with him so I haven't seen them since like June and probably never will ever again.

From what I've heard, you can just use saline solution as eye drops for dryness.

In... 2011, I think, I met Jnig really briefly at Sakuracon. It was when she was cosplaying Cop Panty, and my friend and I ran into her in a hallway while we were cosplaying School Panty and Stocking. She also had a sort of small crowd around her, but when she saw us she pointed and said "I need a picture with you guys!"
We took some pics with her and she was really nice to us. As we walked off, she saw a Brief cosplayer and did the same thing.

I don't know if this was because it was a while ago, or because she had a crowd with her and wanted to look good, or what. But I know she was nice to me, some random chick in a not very good Stocking cosplay.

Here's a pic as proof I guess haha.

I just found these, the pearl ones from a shop with a good rating:

I've bought one here:

I love their selection.

Kim Pine from Scott Pilgrim.

It's funny though because I've had friends cosplay as Kim and they get mistaken as the other character lol.

Well I guess green school uniforms aren't that common? It's mostly insulting because if someone thinks I'm trying to be Kagome, I'd be a fucking inaccurate one.

Dude what the fuck. The most confusing thing is that okay, sure, blonde pigtails and black clothing, but Misa doesn't dress like a roller derby girl, does she?

And another.

I guess I can see it, but I'm still pretty butthurt.

I'm thinking about trying to put together a plus-sized Taobao spreadsheet or list, since finding shops in various sizes/styles can be difficult.

So far, I have these three shops bookmarked:

http://shop34880390.taobao.com/
http://38miss.taobao.com/
http://dama100.taobao.com/

I'm possibly going to be ordering something from the first shop soon, but otherwise I can't afford too many new clothes right now. So if people have plus-sized (or at least shops that offer larger sizing alongside straight-sizing) shops that they like, please go ahead and post them!

Right now I'm searching for shops that sell interesting tights/thigh-highs for bigger legs, so I can post results if people are interested.

There are several places on taobao that sell replicas of Yuno's phone. If you search "未来日記 cos" they'll usually come up.

I have two friends who have cosplayed Yuno, one of them just made her phone out of clay. It looked good in photos, she made one closed and one opened so that she could have it either way. My other friend painted an old Razr phone and then sealed the paint. This also looked good, because it could actually open and close.

I've actually been trying to find a way to make Yukiteru's phone, since they don't sell replicas of it. Luckily, his phone is a little more normal-looking so I think I'll probably buy a display cell phone and paint it.
