/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>How long have you been in the jfashion or cosplay scene?
Lolita: 2012. Cosplay 2002, but I'm currently not an active cosplayer. I plan to get back to it soon.
>What area have you improved the most in?
Coordination, making accessories, makeup and overall presentation. I also lost a bunch of weight and it was wonderful until I gained a good deal back. I'm going to attempt to lose it again and then some over the next year.
>What role has /cgl/ played in your improvement so far?
Being my own worst nitpick. I've learned to up my game in quality of items. I started as a replica and bodyline-chan. I only use bodyline for shoes, and rewear my old blouses but I plan on replacing them with nicer quality ones in the near future.
>What weak point(s) do you want to work on next?
My weight lol. Posing, not looking like a total derp. I take better purposeful stupid pictures than purposeful nice ones. I also need to work on confidence. I think a good deal of my confidence was lost when I gained weight. I think losing it again and working harder to not fall back into old habits will go a long way in being more confident.

(please try to ignore the too small bolero, it looks awful because I'm dumb and thought I could still get away with sports bras being chunky again lolol. It looks as it's supposed to with proper undergarments.)
