/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Contributing with some cute kigurumi's i found on etsy

Too bad this person asks $150 - $200 for these things :l

And now for some devart findings

selfpost because I'm a loser, but I love kigurumi for cons because they're easymodo and super comfortable.

My favorite places to buy kigus:
http://www.kigurumi-store.com/shop/
http://kigurumi-shop.com/

and ebay, but just for simple ones.

Also question, are there any normal bears out there? (So no panda, care bear, gloomy bear, rilakkuma or whatever). I want to buy one for my boyfriends birthday cause his nickname is 'The Bear', but everything is kinda girly

Does anyone have a basic pattern for these? I'd love to make a couple ones of certain characters

Reposting this from the last thread. <:

Yes! There are normal, non-character bear kigu. I think several different brands have their own version but if I remember correctly they're all pretty uguu...so if they're too uguu for your boyfriend you could always make one/have one commissioned for him.

Oh, and I happened to find one for sale while I was browsing the kigurumi tag on Tumblr.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111029873815?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
It's being sold by Tumblr user holzical, if you're interested.

Where can I find a kyubey kigu that isn't $200?
Also I'd love to get a Charlotte kigu and wear Mami's wig underneath.

I have the summer version of Rilakkuma and i hate it. Its towel material/terry cloth. I also have the winter version of the cow and its so comfy and i love it. Fleece is soo much nicer.

My Korilakkuma kigu is the most comfortable thing EVER.

(this photo was to protest the snow one day. I hate snow and it makes Korilakkuma cry.)

Btw, best place to get them IN Japan is Don Quixote (aka Donki) - but be aware that during spring/summer, they only sell the terry cloth ones and in fall/winter only the fleece.

kigurumi-store.com just posted that they are releasing a kyubey one.

Would it look weird to make a Kigu out of flannel? Like the snuggle flannel from JoAnn's used for baby stuff? Or is it better just to stick with fleece? Also which is better, Polar or anti-pill?

>>6693361
Anti-pill tends to last longer and feel softer. You could also try one of the novelty texture fleeces, however. Like the ones that look like wool, but feel soft.

>>6693365
Oh yeah. I actually have a bit of it laying around. It was from some type of neck pillow case you buy at joanns. It was yellow and a similar wool like texture. I set it aside to make a mareep plush.

>>6692580
>>6692586
Thanks for that, that one in brown is not super girly, so i may buy that one

>>6693361
I'm not sure how much you know about fabric, but flannel would drape really weird. My sister made a kigu out of flannel we had lying around, and while it is't terrible, fleece is just a lot nicer to use.

This is muh kappa kigu, but I call it Turtle Chicken. It is terrifying to behold and has been used for the doing of many a shenannigan.

>>6693992
aww it looks really cute

>>6693992
Oh my gosh that's adorable! I need one! Did you make it or buy it?

I have a Chopper Kigurumi. I love wearing it to conventions because it's so comfortable and easy.

>>6694155
I bought it in the dealer's room at a con in 2010. The brand is "La De Das" and has a cute cartoon squid on the logo.
>>6694143
Thank you :3

>>6694163
Thanks so much! I found their website.

>>6693992
I recognize your room and that window. Show us your abs.

I don't get why girls who wear kigus always wear them with wigs and circle lenses + tons of makeup. Aren't they essentially supposed to be like pajamas?

>>6694195
It was something some gyarus did

>>6694198
they look dirty. i will never understand the appeal of brownface.

>>6694187

>>6694200
It became popular when Namie Amuro was the big thing back in the 90's. Apparently it's a mixure of Amuro's look with Naomi Campbell's.

>>6694200
>brownface
can you uh, not use that word?

>>6694195
The point is to be cute and comfy, not unkept and frumpy.

>>6694195
Because Gyaru/Ganguro/Mamba.

>>6694239
lol

>>6694195
I don't know why you linked my post in that comment, because I'm not wearing any of that, not even makeup.

>>6694239
but it's not brownface, it's a tan.

>>6694345
It's not a tan, it's paint.

Never understood it either.

>>6694350
only the white part is paint...the girls actually tan themselves otherwise.

I own three, the Corgi, the Owl (pictured) and the White Tiger. No custom or handmade ones yet although I do plan on it

>>6694163
La De Da's is a kigurumi dealer, not a brand.

>>6694366
Not necessarily. Lern2ganguro

I REALLY want a Wolf kigurumi (preferably gray or black.) Any recommendations?

>>6694195
I'm not wearing circle lenses and I'm just wearing pikachu makeup..
Also I am wearing what is essentially a frumpy onsie, I want to at least try to look like I put effort into my appearance.

>>6694393
That looks like an attempt at a knockoff Piplup...

>>6694559
Nope, just the regular SAZAC Owl Kigu

>>6694366
>the girls actually tan themselves
this trend is a bit old, and Ganguro is not as popular as once, the only ones who still think it is are newbies to Jfashion
