Ok, so I just made an account on there but now I can't log in
I type in my username+password, and click log in, the page refreshes and nothing happens
No error message or anything, so I think there's something wrong with the site?

I feel like this is a sign that I should stop buying stuff online lol

So, I was thinking of getting a sewing machine to get into sewing. I know that it's not something you can cheap out on, but I don't know how much is reasonable to spend on one.
It doesn't have to be amazing, but I want it to be relatively easy to use and handle some different types of fabric, since I want to make cosplays when I feel that I'm good enough

Does anyone have any recommendations? Or maybe just tips about what price to expect, and maybe what qualities to look for?
I do have some experience, I know how to thread a machine and sew basic things, but not really anything more than that

Also, general tips for getting into sewing? Is it worth taking classes? What are some good patterns to get started with/basic essential equipment?

Sorry for the long post, I just feel a bit overwhelmed by everything and some help would be really great

>just because it's 4chan isn't an excuse to run around acting like shitlords 25/8

Life is suffering

I'm just about to place my first order, and I was going to go with Buynosaur because everyone has been talking very fondly of them these last threads, but considering what people in this thread has been saying I'm not so sure anymore...
What other other shopping services are there that are active and good besides Buynosaur?

Also bonus question, is it worth buying petticoats from Taobao? I need to get one, but I'm a bit scared that it'll take up so much space/be so heavy that shipping will be much more expensive

>tfw big sale and bunch of stuff in wishlist is like $10 of, but can't spend anything because I need to save all my money
Kill me

> so many lovely dresses are being released
> CURRENCY IS SHIT
I feel like I'm missing out, and I'm afraid I'll never see these dresses on the secondhand market. I can't justify the costs of currency conversion either though. So I'm just stuck being bitter.

I have 70% of one of them done, 5% of another, but I didn't start on the one I actually wanted to do yet. I might end up dropping it, knowing how bad I procrastinate on everything.

> mfw I stayed up until 4am last year to finish my cosplay

>Though the websites she promotes are like taobao resellers and really jack up the price for foreigners to buy cute stuff it works out for her because she's getting the stuff for free.

Totally agree with this
Makes me kinda annoyed, because there are a lot of girls like this who are famous on tumblr and stuff, and they get free stuff so they dont care about if its actually a bad site or not

I recently made a rant about stores like this in a storenvy thread kek

All in all, I like her but its annoying that she supports those greedy and lazy stores.

Nice to meet ya too? Nagisa is a good cosplay to begin with. It's not too complicated.
