When it came to size, I left in people who were on the cusp. I only eliminated those who were clearly not going to fit. A 27" waist would not necessarily have eliminated you. There were quite a few applicants that didn't follow the rules, like their pictures were blurry, we asked for a headshot and full body and they only sent one or the other, they sent cosplay photos where they had so much makeup and costume that you couldn't see what they actually looked like or in their underwear so you could see a little too much if you know what I mean - so it wasn't just about getting rid of chubbies or giants.

>>8069339
In fact, now that I think of it I left in one girl who was on the big side (not plus size but would need some shirring) who had really good quality photos and she ended up getting picked.

It was a different con I was working with. I first eliminated everyone with unsuitable pictures, then went by size which was on a spreadsheet. I didn't look at the names when I did the size part. There were a couple people I didn't personally like very much in the pool but I left them in as I felt it would be unfair otherwise, and one of them did end up getting picked. Maybe if there had been someone I truly hated, I would have been tempted. I think I was chosen for the job because the con organizers knew I would try to be fair and not play favorites.

Obviously there is the possibility if there is that kind of process there, but I think it is unlikely for it to happen unless there is already hints of things being a bit iffy by those running it. It also would imply that someone in her own comm has it out for her, which seems unlikely since there hasnt been any sort of talk of stuff against her besides that one moment where she wasnt chosen.

>>8071249
Ideal is thin asian size unless Jetj because they seem to like western ppl. Obviously you have to fit brand and if you can fit it without shirring it works better. But I dont think measurements are a big deal unless they make limitations for it.

JetJ needed models who were their standard size 1 (bust 88 cm, waist 68 cm), because that's what size all their sample dresses were. They also had a preference for taller girls, I think 5'4" was the minimum?

I'm guessing Baby will be a little more flexible with both size and height because they have more shirring options, but if you look at the models they picked for Otakuthon, you can get a pretty good idea of the size & look they are going for. I'd guess everyone in this photo has a 91cm bust or smaller, they're at least 5'3" and up (maybe taller, it's hard to guess with footwear) and have average-to-thin legs. It's going to depend on how many models they need and what range of people apply, but the closer you are to those measurements or under, the better chance you have.

>>8076179
It's a little different for every show, but the general process for modelling requires you to commit to a fitting, maybe a rehearsal and then prep+show. Fitting is ideally done a day or two before the actual show, so they have time to scramble in case you "misreported" your measurements, gained weight or otherwise don't fit the outfit.

For the day of the show, expect to arrive very early in the morning, especially if the show starts before noon! Getting ready takes a long time and you will not be allowed to leave the prep room during this process. You'll also need to allow time to remove everything after the show, there's usually a checklist process you have to go through to make sure every item has been returned to the designers. The clothes need to be kept in good condition so you won't be allowed to wear them while walking around the con.

The designers select the entire outfit and also arrange for styling. There may or may not be a make-up artist on hand to do either full make-up or touch-ups after you've done basic foundation, etc. Sometimes they ask for models who already own suitable shoes, but I'm guessing Baby will bring their own, since they sell shoes. (so you'll also need to list shoe size and fit into Japanese measurements for shoes, which is pretty much US sizes 5-8). I think they supply wigs as well, but you might want to bring your own wig cap. If you're chosen, they'll provide you with a detailed list of what to expect and what you'll need to bring in terms of make-up, etc.

Overall, anyone interested in modelling should be prepared to devote 1-2 hours for fitting, another 1-2 hours if there's a rehearsal, and 6-8 hours on the day of the show. It's a serious chunk out of a con weekend. Perks are bragging rights, some nice lolita photos and a chance to get to know the designers and other models.

The issue is the broadness of guys in the torso and shoulders. With lolita you can get around this a bit more, because you can wear jsks or go for short sleeved ops that are loose in the shoulder only. But if he is too big in the shoulder for the jackets that Aatp makes, then he cant wear what tend to be the 'main' piece for ouji. It sucks because that isnt something you can change either.

Yeah, I'm already on the list. I remember a few tickets were available near con time last year, so hopefully the same will happen soon enough.
