/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>8304689
My first cosplays and lolita attempt. Will never forget how /cgl/ tore me apart when I posted what I thought gothic lolita was. I know the photos are somewhere, would look a hot mess even in ita threads.

My Misa Amane was terrible. I thought it would look great piecing it together, but I wasn't smart enough to check how I looked before the con. Hot Topic bustier that was 3 sizes too small, $60 skirt I bought at the con that fit too stiff, expensive super platform boots, blonde wig that I had to shove my 24inch sew in over, and "SEXY GOTHIC LOLITA" Ebay jewelry. I was so self conscious I left the con, went back to my hotel, and didn't come out till it was time for an outfit change.Not ashamed of it now since I'd call it a learning experience. Now I'm so obsessed over detail I get depressed if I can't find the right earrings or a wig's shade is too dark or too light.
