Aw thank you! I really appreciate that. My best advice is if you have a comm, lay out coords and get their opinions on them before wearing them out or buying something, and stick to a couple main colors that really flatter you.

>> No.7189262

>>7188995
I would add a ribbon tied to the collar and may7be tease your hair a bit to give more volume. I'd also ditch the blue tights, they look too random.

You also shouldn't forget to apply make up. with lolita you need to be a little heavy with it around the eyes. Even just a winged liquid liner would be good.

Your make up looks very nice, the main thing I would change is adding some waves to your hair

I would love to, unfortunately the only way to do that is to wear a wig (which I'm not opposed to, it's just that particular meetup involved me cooking and serving food, and I didn't want to risk a wig fiber falling into it). My hair is naturally straight as a pin and I even got it permed once and it did nothing.

All from this year. Since I just got into and started wearing lolita this year there are a lot of repeats of dresses and things as my wardrobe is still relatively small.

Good progress, you've got the basics down at least. Although I dont think that super stretched shirring dress is doing anything for you, you'd be better off with something that accents your shape more on the top, or wearing a cardi with it.
Youre like 10x cuter with bangs btw, good hairstyle choice! :)

oh man I have been coming up on 6 years of cosplaying. This is nuts. I think the greatest strength I have since developed is attention to detail and learning make up. But I still think I need to slow down and fix a lot of basic construction and presentation issues I have.
Which I am totally okay with. Learning and discovering new techniques is one of my favorite things about cosplay.
Now that I have started college, I dont have the time or funds available to dedicate like I used to. So now I'm really forced to take my time with each project and really make sure all the details are perfect which really wasn't something I was doing before.

Can't comment on the lolitas, but your guys' cosplays definitely look nice.
>>7189946
You've come a long way and I love that you've seemingly increased both the difficulty and detailed levels in your costumes. Do you work with fabric stuff often, or only armour? It could be a new direction for you to go toward if you try a ballgown or something slightly more fabric-intensive. You can't escape your lady face, though, so I recommend you cosplay less men in the future (though it looks like you already realize it.)

>>7189874
You've continued with making garment-based cosplays as opposed to the other girl's step into armour, which I like, because I can tell your knowledge of sewing has super increased since you began. Still a ways to go with making the details look thorough, and some of your more current costumes look a bit rushed. But your cosplay skills really have grown and that is impressive!

Keep up the good work! I love threads like these because I love seeing how far people have come. I don't really have any of my old photos to post, however (probably a good thing...) Once I've got more current work, I'll contribute.

I usually just guess when I'm making something and it usually turns out fine.

It's my weakest point and I would love to improve.

Watch prices carefully and strike when the deal is good. You'd be surprised how much fabric you can get for what little money. Unfortunately, it means no spontaneous cosplay buys.

I'd like to get into more armor work, on the other hand, and can't because I don't know where to start in terms of making a decent purchase of Worbla and other materials. (Any tips?)

I feel like I've stagnated with my coordinating. I don't really know what works with my features, so I just stick to the 'safe' boring zone. I'm working on expanding my wardrobe out of just pastel pink with some blues and black, though.
Critique and tips is more than welcome, please. I'm working on the weight too, but unfortunately the reverse triangle shape and big bust is here to stay.

>>7192920
I know they're not to everyone's preference but I like them for a few reasons. It balances out large and mulitple hair accessories when going OTT. I've tried it without and it doesn't work quite the same. I'd like to experiment with extensions/falls and some fuller-styled wigs though. Also the volume of the hair draws less attention to my broader shoulders and bust and sort of evens it out a bit. Otherwise I can look like a hulk depending on the style of the dress or the blouse. So there is some thought and purpose there, not just "hey everyone else wears them" kinda thing.

I'd love to try circle lenses! I have some on the way right now. As for heavier makeup, I used to do it more frequently but it doesn't look as good IRL with certain outfits. It turns out great in photos though.

As for open neck blouses, I only own a couple. They don't work really work for Forest Harvest (though the cut of the pic you posted is perfect). Let me know if I can get in touch with you somehow - I'd like to see what you think of my other outfits along with the makeup.

Honestly though, I'd say cgl's standards of fat is pretty fucked, too.
Though it also depends on what the word fat means to each person. To someone, 'fat' may mean 'above average weight'. To someone else, fat may mean 'severely overweight'.
Personally when I hear the word fat I do think of someone who is severely overweight. Slightly overweight I consider chubby, but the word chubby does not even enter into cgl conversations often. We just jump right to fat.

I think cgl would almost certainly consider me kind of fat, despite the fact I'm in the healthy weight range for my height and age.

My step-mom is like that, and looks heavy, but she got a health check up, and the doctor was absolutely baffled, and told her she was healthier than 95% of the people that came in that day, and there was no reason for her to be "overweight" in her BMI.

Bulimia and EDs in general affect your overall metabolism.
As someone who has been "in recovery" from severe anorexia nervosa for over 6 years but still deals with bouts of pretty severe bulimia, I can say that my basil metabolic rate never recovered. However, this is much more likely due to my recurring "attacks"/relapses than the initial disorder.

5'4". Honestly the frills make everything look bigger. But a lot of my bulk in the upper body is muscle, especially in my arms. There's still some fat there, but I'm really only about 15-20 away from my ideal weight for my height and frame, may go down 25 though (125lbs), I'll see when I get there. I'm also 5lbs overweight according to BMI. It's easier to tell in plain clothes.

The problem is I'm built stocky, busty/topheavy, broad shouldered, and short-waisted, and I build muscle quickly. I also gain fat easily if I'm not mindful (but I lose it quickly). I donno, I'd much rather have a more toned body than a tiny, petite, lithe one. I feel like that gives me way more confidence than just being skinny.

I am not. I'm not too much overweight, and I don't like to take medications for things if I can avoid it. My mother has it, and she's on something else to help with her weight loss and pcos, I don't recall what it's called. I'll have to ask.
And I don't eat gluten free bread, it's disgusting and dry or much too expensive / too much trouble to make. Gluten has a gross effect on me anyways.

Fair enough! And of course, it's not always about numbers and scales and it can be about building muscle and losing fat and having the numbers not change at all, but still being able to squat/bench your bodyweight and be healthy. I think it can be disheartening with metabolic issues because you have to be very very strictly on-track with diet and exercise and almost obsessive about it, and even then the losses/changes are sometimes unnoticeable or very small, but at least you know that you'll be healthier and more able to do things than someone who isn't exercising and eating well.

Have you considered a corset and possibly a binder or sports bra? They're not dangerous or anything, and you can safely reduce your waist by something like 2 inches in the very beginning and work towards something smaller.

I do regularly wear a minimizer or sports bra. I also wear corsets with Lolita, but I don't waist train. I can only estimate where I'm going to end up based on how and where I lose the most, but it's likely I'll end up (given 25lbs, 6lbs per inch) around 92-94cm bust and a 78-80cm waist. I have very little space between my ribs and hips, so without a corset, I won't be achieving a very defined waist, even if I have a much lower body fat percentage. But currently the corsets I do have only add to my measurements but work more as shapewear. I might have to try different brands or get something custom made when I get to where I want to be.

I love these threads and seeing everyone's progress. I haven't ever bothered participating before since I didn't have too many costumes under my belt until this year.

While the boots, blouse, and headband are not typical go to lolita items, or my personal aesthetic, I’m not going to nit pick them because I think with the right outfit they would look great. I do feel the plain blue tights have got to go. Throwing on a mismatched shade of oversized blue cross does not pull the outfit together or excuse the random blue tights. Your skirt reads gothic or even classic but the rest of your outfit reads punk. With all that said- you’re super cute and I do think you’re outfits have come a long way.

There's usually a bit of give in the waist for MM. Where a lot of people run into problems though is when the bodice is too short and it rides up to the ribcage. Also for a lot of their OPs your breasts must sit at the exact right height (which is pretty high) to fit properly in the bodice.

I really doubt this. I mean, if their relationship is really crappy, sure. But I doubt anyone in a decent relationship would go, "Oh wow, you're more attractive, so I'll throw away a nice, stable, emotionally fulfilling relationship to be with someone more physically attractive, even though I have no idea if it will work out or even if I'll actually like the person." In spite of being somewhat shallow on first-impressions and first-interactions, most people dislike change unless they're in a really awful situation. That's why so many girls (and guys) stay in sort of fizzled, mediocre relationships; it's a lot more trouble to go out of your way to slowly develop a new relationship than it is to stick with an old one.

This isn't a fucking rating thread, they have those on /soc/ if that's what you want to do. Either comment on their progress or leave.

This so hard. It's a fucking progress thread and its awesome to see everyones progress no one cares if you want to fuck them or not. God damnit this isn't /soc/

Won't post pics, seems like the kind of person who acts douchey because they're growing out of a really insecure/awkward stage.
But, garnered some good angry responses. Solid try.

Honest, slightly self-effacing personal description. Slightly funny comments. Weird continuation of the unnecessary rate-me trend, even though this is a progress thread.

I was having second thoughts about posting seeing what the thread has become but in an attempt to get us back on topic.

as pointed out already:
i didnt post my progress to get rated by some "below average guy"
>>7195334
This ^
>>7195339
Thank you so much :>
but at some point it hit me that cosplaying as (ugly) men from one piece isn't what i want to do anymore.
all dressed up in cosplay one feels awesome, but somehow i missed it to take all those "cute" photos friends of mine had in their beautiful girly cotsumes! :<
that's why i moved on and chose cute, but strong and indipendent women :D

I've banged plenty of nerd girls who were in relationships. They wanted a taste of the popular hot guy but when I made clear that it was just sex they just pretend it never happened and stayed with their boyfriends.

It goes pretty good, Miko at Youmacon was quite fun though the cape didn't quite go as planned. Lookin' forward to Ohayo.

Haha, yeah, I kinda did it on a whim but it was rather amusing. /jp/ wasn't hugely happy about it but I'd hardly expect otherwise

Sounds like you're just a sad beta who aspires to alpha.

>>7195585
Those women are much more likely to do fucked up things in bed because they think they can get an alpha by doing things other women won't do.

Aw, I'm very shy too and wasn't able to talk to many of the lolitas. Was this at AniRev or the anniversary tea party?
>>7193082
No, but I do have a strong jawline. I'm also pretty muscular because of my swimmer background.
>>7193441
Thank you! I'm self conscious about having muscular legs but that boosts my confidence

There's a definite improvement in your sewing and the shapes of your costumes. Your Awashima Seri is really clean looking.
>>7189946
Your improvment is great, especially in regards to the fit of your cosplays and further on, details like armour and wings.
>>7191106
Tenleid I always love your progress not only in terms of costume ability but with weightloss as well. I look forward to what you can show us in the future.
>>7191421
I feel your Conchita is your high point here although your Cas wings are really impressive.
>>7191455
Dat Pluto (?) and Joker (?). Amazing improvement.
>>7192186
Can I marry your Padme. You were so mediocre to begin with but your progress is great.
>>7192296
You have a way to go but you've still improved a lot since you first started. I want to see you give Chibi Moon and Weevil another go.
>>7192921
I honestly don't see much progress here.
>>7192942
You need to work on the fit of costumes but you have improved so much since you have begun.
>>7192958
You begun good but only got better.
>>7193144
You also need to work on the lines and fit of your cosplays but things are looking decent.
>>7194065
That Gil, I lust after you and I know I'm not meant to.
>>7194075
There's a definite improvement but you need to challenge yourself more.
>>7195259
Really impressed by how you have learnt your body shape and how to fit things to it.
>>7195366
You cosplayed Hunter x Hunter so I automatically like you. Being objective there is an improvement in your costumes but try more armour, your second to last cosplay proves you can do it.
