If shipping is the issue, here's my suggestion:
Buy two of one of the wig styles linked. You should have enough wefts to rip for each of her pigtails, and a base wig too. Style the base wig, and use this tutorial to make your wig.

It looks pretty nice, but I think it could use some refining though. The spike tips look good, but everything leading up to them is kinda sloppy.

I really don't want to be attacked for this question, but I've never watched the anime but I've been seeing some really good cosplays come out of this fandom. Like, stunning cosplays. However, I heard that the material of the show is sometimes less than... tolerable, for certain audiences. On a scale of 1-10, how disturbing (in relation to content; sexual, violence, etc) is this show?

>> No.7427536 [DELETED] 

>>7427529
I think only the bathtub scene and everything before that was intended to be jerk-off material while relevant.
The spanking thing, whatever Ragyo was doing to Satsuki in the stadium, the threeway thing, etc. are just, "Well Ragyo's a bad mom and Nui's encouraging it."

But people have weird kinks and can get off to virtually anything.
I was just saying, it loses the intentional-wank material after a episode 16.

as someone who was sexually harassed by teachers through much of much school, even though the scenes with Aikuro were played for comedy they really disturbed me and creeped me out
the rest of the show was also pretty cringeworthy imo, it's going for "wow, we're so anime!" but it ends up as "wtf was that i'm grossed out"

also there's an episode where Ryuko gets sentimental about people peeping on her while she's in the bath. which is again, played for comedy, but really rubbed me the wrong way. ymmv i guess but for me it was like a 7

Some Ryuko wig progress I'd like some crit on, mostly regarding the red stripe placement.
I did the front part of the bangs, and I'm working on the red stripe's placement before I sew the weft in. (The red bit arrived as a separate clip on, bleah.)

I've got to straighten the back and a bit of the sides since the wig is really thick and likes to flip upwards, but is there anything else it looks like I'm missing?

It might help you to know it's based off Jotaro Kujo's outfit from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (pic related). Mako's hat, just like his, is only really the front half of the hat with the back "torn" off. (Don't do a full hat. It will look stupid and would be missing the point of the outfit reference.)

As far as the coat goes, to get it to look right you have to make your own, because in the design it has big, exaggerated proportions. Try finding a trench coat pattern and widening/lengthening the sleeves/shoulders/bottom/etc!

There's also the option of bright red bias tape but I'm worried that'll be too plain? Mako is my girl and I want to go all out with this and look spectacular! Thanks for any help, cgl.

Really? My boyfriend said the same thing but I'm worried that'll be too much! He said I should make a lot of patterns with the bias tape and then some with the el wire as well, but I really don't want it to be ridiculously much on top of the special fabric I'm using for the base coat lining.

how well does the EL wire show thrugh bias tape? you could have little tunnels for the el wire to travel through so it would look super cool also you can leave it unlit or light it up and it wont look too cluttered.

though this is just an idea, i actually dont know what im talking about and the idea could be a big fire hazard..

more of a general bancho (juvenile delinquent) reference than a jotaro kujo reference.

common traits of that character type being a lengthened uniform jacket and actually wearing the uniform's hat

the female equivalent, the Sukeban will usually be shown with a lengthened skirt and dyed hair (blond/brunette)

Makoto Kino from Sailor moon is a good example of that type of character

I'm thinking of doing Gamagoori and my hair works well for his style wise, but it's naturally a dark dark brown.

I was geared up to cosplay Gamagoori from episode fucking 1. But I was lazy, and had a whole ton of weeks pass by without me producing anything. Lo and behold, he's had at least 7 different choices of costume to pick from.

I think before I actually get to work, I'm gonna watch the last episode and THEN decide which Gama I want to cosplay.

When in doubt, find a pattern online and experiment with broadcloth (its cheap as fuck).

If you're buying it for 12$ and would have to purchase a machine to make it otherwise, I see your point.
But buying a uniform like mako's online for upwards of 50$ is pretty stupid. It's so much cheaper and easier to make on your own. Honestly just trying to save you money.
Also, if whenever you plan to cosplay is months away, I think you could spend a little time learning how to sew if you had a machine.
Having the resources available and not wanting to do it is different from not having access to a machine and buying it online.

Clearly you missed my point because you don't sew.
Cosplays aren't store-bought clothes. Do you know how much more expensive it would be to make all your everyday clothes than to buy them, with how many you own?
Costumes are expensive because they're specific for something and are often a strange/atypical design you won't find in stores. They're also more expensive because the people who make them know that lazy shits like you who can't bother to learn how to sew a straight line will pay for low-quality costumes that resemble the character.
How stupid can you possibly be? Comparing cosplays to everyday clothing is ridiculous. Sewing an entire wardrobe is different from sewing one fucking outfit.

Without a seam? Nearly impossible. Superskilled seamstresses/tailors might be able to, but you'd need to make your own design, I think. It's a dress, but one piece and has pleats at the bottom. Honestly, that makes very little sense in the world of pattern-making, because the fabric you'd use would have to flare out around your waist in order for you to make the pleats without a seam showing.
TL;DR
No, it doesn't seem possible to make her dress without a visible seam. I wouldn't sweat it though because KLK characters have very little seams shown in any outfits.

and you're missing the point, too. just because they're more specialized doesn't change the fact that it's less time consuming and less expensive if you're not already outfitted with all the materials you need. if you're just cosplaying once, it's much more cost effective to buy a simiple costume, rather than buy cloth, thread, and a sewing machine that will hardly ever be used again. And you're assuming that people will be able to automatically sew things right the first time. If you're a complete beginner to sewing, the amount of time and material costs for all the screwups you're undoubtedly going to make will probably equal or exceed the cost of just buying it.

I understand buying an outfit for cheap, if you can find it, because hey, very little work and not much money out of your pocket is lost.
What I AM saying is that Mako's uniform is simple. If you have a sewing machine and enough skill to hold fabric straight and press a pedal, you should make the outfit yourself rather than pay $50+ online for a shitty uniform.
What about that is hard to understand? It gives you experience, it's not difficult in the slightest, and you save money. I see no downside to this aside from putting some time aside from your avid 4chan browsing to pin and sew something.

Okay, this will probably sound stupid, but whatever. The thought of cosplaying Ryuko has crossed my mind as I love the show and I have a small waist/flat stomach. However, I'm super nervous about my belly button. It's a t-shaped innie for the most part, but, I have a lip that sticks out on the top.

All right guys. i'm thinking of crossplaying as a ryuko. i'm not trying to look like a chick, and i'm not planning on taking it too seriously.
Would buying something like this

I've just never seen it done well, and in an anime where characters' personalities seem so closely related to their gender-- take Nui, for example-- a genderbend would seem odd.
I can't imagine there would ever be good genderbends for over half the cast.
If you decide to do Ryuko, all I ask is that you do it well-- don't halfass it. Have a scissor, make it look true to the original design without actually wearing her outfit-- I've seen so many lazy guy!ryukos that think a red stripe in their hair and a poorly made senketsu eye look acceptable.

Crunches are a terrible, useless exercise. If you want a good core, do Deadlifts and Front Squats, and throw in planks. As far as definition goes, run a diet called Ketosis (google it). Basically, no carbs so your body uses your fat as energy instead. it'll burn fat like nothing else. "toning" exercises don't burn fat anymore than legit strength-building compound lifts. Do SS or something, you need more muscle mass too. As far as protein goes, your body increases protein synthesis AFTER a workout. You have a good 24 hours afterwards, then it slowly tapers off. If you are working out daily though, it doesn't matter when you take your shake. Goal should be 1g of protein for every pound of bodyweight daily.

Her eyebrows are very pronounced, but they still have a distinct shape. You'd probably be better off following it more closely to avoid the Rock Lee look. Also consider light contouring on your face (Satsuki's face is fairly sharp), as well as a bit more eye makeup. Definitely do a thicker line of eyeliner on the top, a slight wing usually looks good. Another thing to consider are fake eyelashes, but for her they'd only be on the outer edge. More emphasis on the eyes should make all the difference in the world, because it's easy for them to get lost, especially with black wigs.

Objection! her hair and uniform is dark blue. Have a look at pic related. If they wanted her hair to be black they would have made it a dark grey like her breast plate bra thing (what is that even?) Or like Satsuki's hair. Artists sometimes use blues to represent black but I'm pretty sure this is not the case here they have represented black in other ways. Like why would they make the rest of the black stuff in the show grey but then suddenly blue for the black? It dun make sense.

But.

They have the same hair color.

It's definitely black.

Maybe it's black when she transforms?

It goes black when she transforms from what I can tell but I pretty sure it's a dark blue when she's casual

It's black. She and Satsuki have the same hair color and the fact that it sometimes appears dark blue is likely to distinguish it from other black/darkgrey things around her, and/or for effect.

Yeah, just like how it randomly gets more red in it as well

I take back what I said. Just skimmed through an episode, it switches from black to blue colour purely based on shot colouring, not transformation. It's possible that Satsuki just had dark blue hair, too, but they probably both have black.

But I still generally prefer Ryuko cosplays with black-blue hair just cause it looks nicer.
Dunno mang, what do you guys think?

I'm partial to blue-black myself, I think it has more depth. But honestly it could easily go either way.

>> No.7433955

>>7433937
It can go either way to me, as long as it looks nice.

Also that Senketsu eye and the random latex-y glove is driving me crazy in that Ryuko cosplay ugh. Sad deflate-y hair...

Hey guys, I'm working on my Satsuki mock-up, and I'm having trouble with the gold "stripes" on un-transformed Junkets. Do you think it would be better to applique on bias-cut strips, or try to pattern out one or two pieces that fit in? I'm leaning towards applique, but I'm worried it will be hard to get it to lay nicely.

Everything else is turning out fantastic so far, I'm just stuck there.

Why do people think that the senketsu eye patch goes over their boob and not where the other eye would've gone??

>> No.7433968

>>7433960
Because that's where it is on Ryuko's chest. The "X" itself is higher up to simulate where Senketsu's eye would be, but the patch thing itself is made to cup her boob, like half a bikini or something.

>> No.7433971

>>7433937
Why... are Senketsu's eye and the x on the patch sparkly...?

Well it is way too small, regardless.

I think I like a tint of blue, as well. But for her transformation I like pure black, since it matches with transformed senketsu more. Thats just me though.
