/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I hate nothing more than people making super shitty things for commissions. Why would you even take a commission if you obviously don't have a very good grasp on how to sew.

>>8949483
Lol that crying sticker. Good on that commenter for being honest.

CAN I JUST

>>8949483
Perfect response, why on earth would you take a commission for something you've never done?

>>8949715
Report that shit

>>8949483
ugh and this was posted in the Lolita sewing collective
wasn't Lolita sewing collective supposed to be better than pintucks and lace and wouldn't have as many handmade travesties?? What even was the point...

>>8949715
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST THIS GOD DAMN IT.

>>8949721
I always wondered how so many bad people got in.

>>8949715
It burnssss...

>>8949721
whenever people say this I roll my eyes. yes, it was supposed to have a higher standard but I don't think the mods ever set up any rules or anything for joining - really, most of it is on the community for encouraging the standards to be kept. you shouldn't complain about low-quality posts when it's just as easy for everyone to critique people's work. there's no excuses for "wahhh but OP's just gonna whine and cry" because critique is apart of the group premise. (and "b-b-but I don't know how to give polite or neutral critique!" is just as much of a bad cop-out)

I will say though, I do wish the moderators were a little more involved in mentorship/critique. But I digress - if you have something to say, then say it. I've seen plenty of people in the group be honest on shitty projects, though a lot more people speaking up would be better.

In general there's not a whole lot of lolita seamstresses and even less of those are of high quality, so I don't know why people are just ~expecting~ a group filled with amazing sewing. Critique and learning is what the group was intended to be for, and people can't learn if people can't get the guts to leave honest feedback.

Props to whoever this girl is for having the balls to be so truthfully honest and straightforward.

I’ll be honest, I think I’m just too much of an impatient bitch to help out the kind of newbies who post in LSC/P&L. If someone is well on their way themselves and needs help with certain specific things then I’m happy to help, but when I’m confronted with something that looks like a ruffly bag of crap made out of ugly Joanns quilting cotton then I can’t come up with any critique other than “trash it and come back when you’ve developed some taste”. There’s no way to say something like that without hurting their feelings.
Something about the bad taste that so many of the posters in these groups have really gets on my tits. It feels like a waste of my time to type out a detailed post to help someone figure out a technical issue when they’re just going to use that knowledge to make something ugly. At least when I go to a fabric shop together with girls from my local comm I can physically drag them away from ugly materials and clashing colors before they waste their money. But when someone proudly posts their WIP made out of shitty fabric they’re usually determined to finish it, and knowing the end result will never really look good I just can’t be fucked to help.

Sorry, anons. Maybe I can contribute by posting more of my own WIPs instead, to slowly drill into their minds that there’s more to lolita sewing than novelty quilting or nursery curtain crap. I really appreciate anyone more kind and patient than I am who can help these poor souls.

>has everyone's favourite kinky mtf trans gothic lolita shut the fuck up yet?

nope, here's today's ironic post made by them in lolita humor. this whole thread is a mess starting out with the fact that they were even the one to make this thread, and also the presumed ita crying "derogatory humor"

>>8950723
I wish someone would respond "I don't know, how many friends do you invite over to change one?"

>>8949469
She posted in another CoF post about wanting HL yesterday and got scolded.

She has pathetic excuses of why she can't buy lolita such as I need monies for HRT or NC signed their 'religious freedom' into law.

>>8950723
I'm honestly surprised they can rveb make ONE post without mentioning they're trans

>>8950789
Got any caps?

>>8950797

>>8950301
I'm in the same boat, I don't want to help people who have such boring, shitty questions and use such ugly fabric. And when I try to give concrit it seems like it's just drowned in a sea of "I LOVE THIS FABRIC THIS LOOKS GREAT JO ANNS COTTON IS THE BEST"
I wish there was like, an advanced Lolita seamstresses group. No beginners questions, no ugly fabric, and no one asking if their shitty classing jsk is beautiful. I'd make one myself but idk if there's interest, and people are bound to cry elitism.
/rant,

>clashing not classing

>>8950789
>NC signed their 'religious freedom' into law

...is that ita monster from NC? I hope it's just bitching about that legislation in general and they're not actually from around here.

>>8950825
No, New Jersey

>>8950812
>>8950301
excuses excuses 2bhfam

>>8950825
>from around here
It always unnerves me how many anons in general on this board are from NC. We just lurk quietly in the shadows then pop out in mass the moment NC is mentioned.

>>8950723
I would bet any amount of money that paeleo-chan isn't using their legal name on facebook. That rule is shitty, but the temptation to report as "fake name" is strong.

>>8951100
Holy shit is she buttblasted or what?

>>8951100
Why couldn't she just say classic like anyone else.

what do you guys think, is wonderbitch overreacting again?

>>8950812
I wish there was a group that wasn't necessarily for advanced seamstresses, but where people were comfortable dealing hard concrit without fearing anyone getting buttblasted about it.
I'm by no means advanced, but I want honest comments so I can improve, not this "circle skirts made from cheap superhero print are totally loliable" crap.

>>8951100
I agree with what the ita says, but this only really works when you have a base understanding of style and quality.

>>8951174
That's not even blackface...

>>8951174
I love how literally only Wonderfinch ever makes noise. She's always lacked self awareness, particularly with her ita as fuck coords. No one at all cares besides her and some random comments.

>>8951174
Yes, but, so is everyone in the YT comments. I mean, we live in the Age of Tumblr. Not even a video channel from Japan can escape. I doubt someone like WF would miss a chance to bring a can of gasoline to a firefight.

>>8950723
Ugh, I wish she would GTFO, but at the same time can't wait to see her first post on CoF

>>8951100
Honestly, what she tries in these pictures isn't even offensive our really outlandish. What an overreaction.
Also,
>Victorian like Lolita
I cringed.

>>8951174

Did you even see the makeup thread?

>>8951237
>She
No. This thing is literally Chris-chan 2.0

>>8951174
KawaiiPateen didn't actually say that, right?

She posted again on RC:U.

>>8951352
Oh yes. Yes. Get ready for some shit guys.

>>8951353
Lame, it's deleted already

>>8951365
No he just reposted it

>>8951174
I rarely agree with WF, but she's right this time. The makeup is super shitty, obviously done as a joke. Look how greasy and disgusting it looks. I think I recall her calling it a "demonic look" once or twice as well which is straight up racist.. You don't need to be Tumblr to see that.

The way I see it, it would be fucked up if someone did an Asian-celebrity style tutorial and used a purposely yellow foundation. I bet Kawaii Pateen wouldn't appreciate it if I did and tagged them in it.

Nicki's makeup style is so unique that just using the bright/neon colors and styles she does is enough, or they could have gotten a darker girl to do it. They could have even asked a legit kurogyaru girl to do one because her skin would already be darker, not for the sole purpose of a joke tutorial...

>>8951366
and deleted again. wtf kek

>>8951365
>>8951352

Semi-related: I refreshed to see if there were any new comments or if the new bdsm post got deleted and I noticed this instead. Kek.

>>8951368
Hey now, who told you to be reasonable

>>8951371
i didn't get a chance to screenshot but it said "just wondering if there were any loli kinksters"

>>8951371
Are the mods deleting it? Or is that retard deleting it himself when he gets shit on?

Why hasn't it been banned yet?

>>8951174
Okay, but like KP was kinda in the wrong with that response

>>8951381
This has to be a troll. Has to be. I mean how fucking autistic do you have to be to act like this?

>>8951379
according to one of the mods he himself has been deleting all of his own posts

>>8951372
I love whoever answered to the pity-party tranny

She's been given the banhammer on RC:U.

How long does it take Kaitlyn to start whining that lolitas are un-kawaii meanies?
