/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>9263320
... Ignoring the current winter ball pairing of course.

dumping artwork

oh and here's a /fa/ x /cgl/ discord for anyone interested:
https://discord.gg/pDSHppm

my fav art desu

What's the most expensive /cgl/ brand?

Surely there's some super lux brand out there yea?

>>9263351
Probably BTSSB when it comes to their reserve dresses, they are always $1000+.

>>9263358
If you look at the average resell price it's AP, most baby doesn't hold as high of a resell price.

W2C cute /cgl/ gf?

>>9263351
VM, MM and MMM tend to be quite expensive, even secondhand.

>>9263351
Juliet et Justine

If we are talking quality/amount of material purchased from the official retailer.

>>9263369
How expensive? For example, I tried on a bomber last Saturday that retails for $16k. Can lolita or jfashion ever get that close?

>>9263358
That's not so bad.

>>9263372
There's one dress in particular that was modeled after a manga that would probably sell for around that price if it ever appears on the market.

>>9263372
>$16k
I don't think lolita gets close to that, no. If that's about your budget then buying even the most coveted piece shouldn't be a problem at all.

>>9263320
/fa/ pls. We're going with /u/ this year. Stop shitposting and enjoy crossboarding with /mu/.

/fa/ x /cgl/ is my otp.
I think the art was way more funny and cute last year compared to this year so far

>>9263375
>The kuragehime dress wouldn't sell for that

I would seriously buy it for $20k, probably even $25k

>>9263377
Fuck /mu/.

/fa/ x /cgl/ forever. It's the perfect couple.

>>9263378
I agree, the art was much better. I'd contribute some if I could draw.

>>9263365
From /cgl/, not even joking.

I had one.

All of this art needs to be updated with /fa/ wearing Rick, desu.

>>9263372
Nope. The BTSSB wedding dresses can get a bit closer at about $2k+

occasionally someone will try to sell a rare dress for 1-2k

Uchuu-kei probably the most expensive if we're talking designer. Particularly with the funky jackets.

>>9263384
>dating someone you met on 4chan

there's nothing I can think of that screams "I'm garbage" more than this

foureyes clothing is cgl x fa

There's no need to fight or come off as you are OP.
All you have to do is wait til next year instead of what you're trying.

>>9263390
technically I met my boyfriend of of /cgl/

though we were both just in a con thread looking for information and we bumped into each other irl

>>9263390
I completely understand why you'd think that.

>>9263391
Explain.

>>9263395
I would still say this falls under the category of garbage

>>9263399
u were hurt too, i understand. don't worry we all make this mistake once

>>9263390
>not wanting a partner with similar interests who shares your same stupid internet lingo
no need to be so judgey, anon. there are people behind the anonymity. my fiance and i met here.

>>9263400
I haven't ever made a mistake as big as dating someone off of fucking 4chan tho


you know that mentally ill tranny who cut off his own legs? that's the level dating someone off of 4chan is on

>>9263398

>>9263402
inb4 you end up on the news for murder-suicide

>>9263403
i'm going to disagree there and leave it at that.

>>9263399
Anon, we're all garbage here. You included.

>>9263403
>>9263407
>being this mad

ouch, guess you guys weren't able to work things out. stop projecting.

>>9263411
>everyone who disagrees with my opinions is mad

k

>>9263414
>>9263411
Why the fuck is this turning into a discussion about dating people from 4chan???

>>9263405
That looks lame af, desu.

>>9263414
ah, so THAT'S why your relationship didn't end well.

>>9263351
Swankiss is fairly expensive considering what is being paid for. The same goes for Jesus Diamante. I don't know if Liz Lisa is still pricey. They use to be pricey back when they did the heavy hime-gyaru stuff. People already covered Lolita. Outside special releases, there's also the occasional coveted dress that goes on sale secondhand.

As far as super high end? Well, the issue is in the world of Japan high fashion, it closely mirrors our own high fashion. You'll find Prada, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, and all the same brands if you shop for luxury products in Japan.

Now, what's offered over in a Louis Vuitton store in Japan will differ from Louis Vuitton in New York. It may cater more to the Japanese consumer's taste. If a gyaru, for example, wants high end... they may very well just go shop at a Gucci store.

>>9263419
>my relationship didn't end well

I'm happily married

>>9263388
Got any photos of those wedding dresses or anything from Uchuu-kei?

What warrants their high prices? Is it basically the same rules for designer markup, i.e. quality and name, but mostly name?

>>9263351
Jane marple in terms of details vs price. A fairly plain dress can run you 500-600. Lolita brands use a lot more fabric so the prices aren't really that high.

>>9263427
pic related is a dress from 2 or 3 years ago that sold for roughly $1.2k retail and I think is currently somewhere around $2k for secondhand (I don't want it so I don't know the current selling price).
it's not one of the wedding dresses, but it's around the same price range and has a similar design.

BTSSB's wedding dresses generally have a lot of material and details, whether it's construction or decorative. There can be some markup if it's a popular style/color that sold out or is an old dress that is no longer being made that suddenly became popular. I generally find that name has less to do with how much dresses go for secondhand, it's more about rarity and current trends (e.g. Sugary Carnival was really popular when OTT sweet was popular, but now goes for fairly cheap because OTT sweet has died down).

>>9263425

>>9263381
>Fuck /mu/.
>/fa/ x /cgl/ forever. It's the perfect couple.
This >>9263392
It's not our fault that you're not having fun with /mu/, so don't ruin our winter ball with /u/. They are nice and passive aggressively shit talking them won't change that. You could have posted this thread literally every other month this year.

>>9263432
what? am I supposed to post my marriage license so someone on 4chan believes me?

you act like the idea is absolutely incomprehensible

which is really sad

>>9263434
hi HWC

>>9263431
Okay, so it's generally just demands that determines additional markup for these, it seems. Looking at that dress, I can say it does look like an item that would retail for a lot (which is good, I was hoping it didn't look cheap).

>>9263433
Noose around neck and pull really tight, please.

>>9263434
>>9263437
Can y'all get a fucking room or something?

>>9263443
>thinking this is bad
your /cgl/ newfaggery is showing

>>9263437
hi

>>9263378
that is because more artists participated, not anything to do with the pairing.

/fit/ has great New Year's comics because it has an awesome drawfag but that does not make it a better board either

>>9263424
I see. So no jfashion brands really get into the prices ranges of designer lines. I was kinda just curious to see if jfashion had parallels to the expensive brands discussed frequently on /fa/.

>>9263390
>tfw have done this twice, related to thread second was from /fa/, first from /pol/
>tfw currently doing it again because i just dont learn
>mfw everytime its a shit fest and ends horribly

dont do this to yourselves anons

>>9263447
>making judgements on other people's relationships when you met your husband at age 15 or something

nice

>>9263452
>dating someone from /pol/

you are mentally ill

>>9263453
just because I met him when I was 16 doesn't mean he made any sexual advances towards me then

hell he didn't even do anything like that until I was 21

I know it surprises you not fucking a man instantly but it's something that happens when you actually care about someone and want to invest time and faith in a relationship

>>9263452
>/pol/
Honey that was doomed from the start.

>>9263460
did i even say anything about fucking anybody?

>>9263450
The expensive brands discussed on /fa/ are the expensive brands of Japan.

The major Western fashion houses hold worldwide dominance in the luxury market.

>>9263462
if you were

>>9263453
you know what you were implying

Moschino is an example of a popular luxury brand among those into colorful street fashion.

A gyaru or hostess might love Gucci and Louis Vuitton.

And so on and so forth...

>>9263466
i was implying that you aren't the best person to make judgements on the best way to meet people as a young adult because you met your husband at age 16

times have changed

it was you that decided to get defensive about Grandpa Husbando

>>9263469
>someone who has been in a successful relationship for years isn't the best person to give relationship advice

I mean


are you drunk?

>>9263471
you're missing the point HWC

relationship advice and meeting people in the first place are different things

plus both you and your husband are isolated incident autists

>>9263372

nothing on the egl side but cosplay commissions can get up their EASILY, especially if buying from some of the top artisans.

>>9263468
Moschino is the big one. Vivienne Westwood and Kate Spade are less expensive, but still kind of up there. I'm also going to add Dolce and Gabbana to the list of expensive and eccentric brands.

>>9263474
>I am an autist


probs

>my husband is an autist

rude

>isolated

if we were really that isolated we wouldn't have met at a cafe..

I can tell you we didn't meet on fucking 4chan tho and we've been married for years and show no signs of murdering eachother like you would have with your typical relationship off of 4chan

>>9263481
your engrish is showing

isolated incident referred to how it's not common to meet somebody at age 16 and have it work out for as long as it has

the typical /soc/ fuck doesn't apply to people who have been in an LDR for 5 years and are getting ready for their wedding. that's the point i'm making.

>>9263480
Oh my, how did I forget Vivienne Westwood...

She is super popular.

>>9263483
themoreyouknow.jpg

sorry but like you pointed out ESL

>it's not common to marry your friends you've known for a long time

anon

I just

I feel so bad for you not knowing how the world works

And tentatively I'm going to add Yves Saint Laurent and Louboutin to that list. They tend to be popular on a global scale. Especially Louboutin.

>>9263485
th-that's not what i said either...

i can't argue with you anymore HWC, we're misreading each other.

>>9263489
>solated incident referred to how it's not common to meet somebody at age 16 and have it work out for as long as it has

how am I misreading that with the answer I gave

>>9263491
i meant that a lot of relationships (romantic or otherwise) formed at age fucking 16 end up irrelevant by adulthood

not that everybody who met somebody at 16 and knew them for years after that would inevitably have a failed relationship

i don't know where i said it's not common to marry your friends you've known for a long time, because that's exactly what i'm doing?

again, misreading

>>9263491
That's not very common in America.

Even when babies are involved.

>>9263489
However, it generally goes without saying one should never pursue those from /pol/ of all goddamn places. Like, /soc/ and /pol/... you picked the worst boards ever. Even then, does 4-chan speed dating sound like a good idea? No, it doesn't, don't do it.

>>9263484
Any photos of items from this designer?

>>9263494
you could take 16 and replace it with almost any number and have it make sense if you want to look at it that way

it completely contradicts the marrying your friends thing

maybe it's just a cultural difference?

all of my husbands closest friends with the exception of one he met when he was in highschool

I can't say the same because I was raised in two countries back and forth my whole life

but a lot of people I know have the same story as my husband

>>9263496
>That's not very common in America.

so it's a cultural thing to not end up with people you met when young

because it's more common where I am it sounds like

>>9263497
I just pulled one from google. I'm sure /fa/ could supply better pictures.

She's fairly involved with alt fashion, but has plenty of designs that would suit even the classiest of people.

>>9263496
that anon who dated from /soc/ and /pol/ wasn't me

you're confusing us

>>9263498
you and i are both from grorious nippon and i did find that people seemed to value friendship and longterm relationships more there

however, shit is different in the states, or at least it has been for me

times have changed as well. people just fuck around and dump people and go to the next one more often.

>>9263500
I don't think it's common in America.

For multiple reasons... but I'll spare the social discourse.

>>9263503
I guess I didn't realize it was so uncommon to keep up with people like that in America

seriously like all of my husbands close friends are in his hometown that he met when he was a kid

it's that way with most everyone around me

>>9263503
My bad. Sorry 'bout that.

>>9263504
I'm actually curious as to why

I don't really get it

>>9263497
She also makes an assortment of really cool, eccentric rings that I'm sure a lot of jfash appreciates.

>>9263511
Damn that looks nice, I wish ring fashion was more popular.

>>9263511
Oh man, that's sick.

>>9263511
middle one looks like edgy garbage I'd expect some retard who sits at his computer playing WOW 24/7 to own but not wear because his fingers are too fat

>>9263517
Yeah it really adds another level to whatever you're wearing. I'm a big fan of Parts of 4, Werkstatt Munchen and Chrome Hearts too. Ann Demeulemeester also has some nice accessories!

>>9263480
Kate Spade isn't really popular in jfash though. It's not even super popular with normies...

>>9263497
>>9263517
>>9263518
>not knowing who Vivienne Westwood is
kill yourselves

>>9263509
Sexualization. We are hyper sexual. In 8th grade, it's not uncommon to be at your prom listening to 'Lick me like a lollipop...' Most of us were 13, listening to licking men like lollipops.

Sexy is attractive. Cute is not desirable. You want to be sexy. Rue 21 is for 'girl's who want to look and feel 21'... their target market is actually preteen/young teenage girls... like 12-16 or something. Huge banner in Rue 21, it says, 'It's all about the booty' to sell jeans.

Sexy is beautiful. You? How do you know your pretty? Do have guys fawning over you? If not, I guess you aren't pretty. You are only pretty if boys want you and express it.

Club culture is supreme. y.o.l.o. Have fun, get drunk, live life. Humans are not meant to be monogamous. I can just settle down later once I'm really sure. How do you know you like them if you haven't tried other guys yet.

Obviously this is just a blurt of things on social media and in my culture... to really discuss it would be far too long for 4chan.

Basically, it ain't cool to be 21 and married.

>>9263520
kek where do you think you are? If you can't handle a little extravagance you should get a hobby that isn't Fashion/Cosplay/EGL

>>9263506
yes, it's kind of hard to meet people or make valuable connections. which is why i don't think being in a relationship with someone from 4ch should be dismissed so easily because not everybody on here is a shallow fucktard

no worse than meeting somebody in a bar or a club imo

if you see a good opportunity, it's not a bad idea to take it. worked for me

>>9263507
don't worry about it anon

>>9263526
I am a daily Lolita but it looks like shit

doesn't mean I can't handle extravagance

>>9263527
I dunno I've known people who have tried to have relationships off of 4chan and they all end up to be fucking psychopaths

like there was one girl I knew who met someone on 4chan and fell in love

he told her he loved her too but literally not even a day later he said he didn't and tried to fuck her over

>>9263525
I'll have you know I am 23 and married so I am one of those hip youngsters after all

jokes aside

that's really sad

like nobody here would bat an eye if I said I was a virgin until I was in my 20s but every time I mention that here and that I only have been intimate with my husband people instantly accuse me of being ugly and fat

>>9263530
it's case by case

i'm sure most people on 4chan are eccentric in some way, but not everybody here is insane. i just happened to run into my /lit/ husbando by a one in a million chance

sucks for that girl though. shit like that happens in irl relationships too. most people are garbage.

>>9263525
i was typing out something like this but yours is much more comprehensive

gj anon

>>9263533
I put up with hell, and I'm no virgin mary.

I've been with 4 men. Regardless, I put up with bullying from other girls who tell me I'm ugly and no men want me.

>>9263537
>most people are garbage

isn't this exactly why you are supposed to wait to be intimate

>>9263539
I remember the times I was in the west being super uncomfortable with how sexual I was expected to be

like I was in America for some of my highschool years and everyone was just so lewd

it was really odd to me and people thought I was odd for not wanting to wear super tight clothing and such

why is the west so perverted

>>9263541
>wait to be intimate
That is more "oh it's something special" attitude more than any actual special meaning. If they actually stressed learning your partner's personality instead of like treating the act itself as a holy cow then it might be better established as waiting=usually better.

>>9263545
I dunno if I'm just retarded or what

I get that for guys the urge is more of an immediate need

but in general I always thought it would be a lot more enjoyable with someone you knew well and trusted over something casual...

I've never done anything casual and I've only been intimate with one person so I can't speak to the other end

but that's always been how I saw it

a way for two people who know eachother, trust eachother, and connect to express that physically

>>9263541
This concept is actually about what destroyed my relationship.

I was with a man for 6 years from the time I was 17.

Then it went horribly downhill and now we only see each other on the rarest occasion and we both get sad.

>tfw can't have comfy threads on /cgl/

Guys exchange emailsnir something, just fuck off

>>9263556
I think I should clarify

I knew him from when I was 16

we weren't intimate till much later

I don't think it's the same concept

>>9263565
See, that's a bit different.

This guy I knew for quite sometime before I dated them at 17 though.

But yes... in America most kids are having sex in high school. It's quite normal.

>>9263562
Post pictures of /cgl/ and /fa/ then.

>>9263571
yeah it wasn't a situation where we could be intimate

even if he was the type to look past legal lines I don't think I would have let it happen at that point for moral reasons

I really do think a big part of why we never really fight now is he got to know me when I was developing as a person so he saw how I got from point A to point B

I didn't get to see the same in him exactly but I knew him when he was going through an unfortunate major change in his life too

waiting to know a person and see them go through a major change and still loving them is key

>>9263565
>>9263571
You two dorks.

Once upon a time, /cgl/ didn't care about line breaks.

>>9263522
What about Anna Sui?

>>9263646
Anna Sui is pretty popular in Japan, she's got makeup counters everywhere. She has a younger line called Dolly Girl or something here.

>>9263646
I have one of her skirts. I really like it.

Unsure as to why the link to the cgl X fa chat keeps getting deleted- it's very much on topic and shitposting is contained by chat mods.

>>9263831
I wouldn't be surprised newer people don't know things like this anymore. The original shoes were first shown ages ago, and there have been so many knockoffs that people don't stop to think where they came from anymore (or just don't care).

>>9263452
I met my last bf from /r9k/ tho
So i kind of relate to you, but to be honest loneliness is better. It's hard at the beginning but you will soon get used to it. Find hobbies that make you forget about the loneliness, you won't regret it later on, you will be in fact quite proud of yourself.

>>9263350

really cgl? not knowing who vivienne westwood is?
her fashion was crucial in the making of lolita back in the 90's. i would even argue she's still important to the fashion. but whatever

>/fa/ x /cgl/ forever. It's the perfect couple.

You do realize they're brother and sister, right?

>>9263938
Her roots are in punk fashion, but she's famous in mainstream fashion, too, nowadays. One of her wedding dresses was used in fucking Sex and the City, man.

>>9263945
And?

>>9263954
I'd rather the pure yuri of CGL and U.
Besides everyone knows /fa/ will only have sex with /fit/.

>>9263945
heck yes. the purest form of love

>>9263937
Agreed.

>>9263824
does 4 o'clock still exist?

>>9263937
so make fa x cgl content. nothing is stopping you. it does not have to be winterball-themed.

Oops doubled

>>9264851

>>9264853

>>9264856

>>9264858

I always wondered what /fa/ thinks of this

>>9264859

>>9264864

>>9264865
And with that I am done.

>>9264861
Last I heard, /fa/ tolerates it but as you can tell, they're not that invested in it outside getting art since they didn't bother to get in gear for the Winter Ball.

Anon mentioned this in the other topic but maybe we can compromise with those who want more /fa/ stuff?

>We're taking /u/ to the Winter Ball because /fa/ didn't bother asking us
>We voted and 3/4 of voters want to confess to /u/
>HOWEVER
>We can still take big brother /fa/ to the next event
>Extra Idea
>If our confession to /u/ goes well, we want /fa/ to be happy as well so next event, double date with /fa/ and /fit/? Because they need all the help they can get.

If need be, we can even dress /fit/ to be more attractive to /fa/ and we'll all enjoy that.

>>9264859
You know, I always wondered why /fa/ doesn't crossdress. Isn't that transcending the realm of commoner fashion to the greatest heights of true fashion if you can wear the clothing of both genders?

>>9264931
>>9264928

Personally I think the polls were closed to early.

>>9264939
Well then just do like >>9264931 suggests and ask them for the next event? Or draw your own art for it?

Wouldn't /fa/ and /cgl/ spend Christmas together? Why can't we make a little inter-board family get together for that instead of lamenting over the Winter Ball?

Anyone friendly enough with /fa/ to see if they'd be interested in Christmas art/fic swap for a /fa/+/cgl/ family Christmas?

>>9264939
They are both still open.

>>9264928
I actually really like it. Would draw or write something but my skills are not /fa/.

>>9264939
>closed to early
They're both still active and have been for days.

>>9264949
I suppose since they are brother and sister, they would. The gift exchange must be horrible.

>>9264970
eh, I doubt they actually care what the status of the polls are... just that they probably check /cgl/ once every 2 weeks and now feel entitled to an opinion

>>9264956
>>9264970
i think they meant that we chose too early

>>9265064
Well /u/ took an early lead and /fa/ wasn't even doing the Winter Ball (and still isn't, they don't even have a topic) so why sit around for a week waiting for votes to trickle in when /u/ was available already?

This is what baffles me. Everyone voting for /fa/ when /fa/ isn't even doing the event.

>>9264933
Because they're very boring in their clothing choices.

I think it's a bit of a problem when your fashion board looks like it shopped at the same generic higher quality than H&M store

>>9264865
I just realized that the rest of her arm just disappears when part of it should be visible

This made me think, is it possible to combine /fa/ and /cgl/s styles and make it work? Like, /fa/ style fashionable with a touch of jfashion?

>>9265987
I think 'Larme' would be a good example of this. It's just dressing in the style that editorial at a fashion magazine likes. It's pretty /fa/

>>9265987
We've had this discussion many times.

No.
