Old thread: >>9570491

Halloween is just around the corner! Do you guys have any plans for this year? Maybe prepared something special for this day? It's a perfect opportunity to dress up and to make your first experience with crossdressing/crossplay after all.

Not really sure to be honest. I'm not a good judge of myself and it's hard to get an honest opinion on the internet, either you get hugboxed or attacked by people who just want to tear people down.I'm 5'8 so could be worse height wise, obviously hair/beardshadow is an issue but working on that.

invest in good quality foundation/makeup. like kat von d's tattoo cover foundation or ben nye, you can mask your shadow. watch makeup tutorials on youtube. anyone *can* wear lolita, but its all about attention to detail. look for cuts that give you a waist, it will help with the proportions of the lolita silhouette

Attempting my first one, I am just looking for helps with doing the bust. I have only seen one good tutorial for more exposed and the option to just buy from 'Anime Body Parts'. I know of cheaper methods, but I rather something authentic for use for this costume. Money is of no concern.

What is the costume you have in mind and how much does it reveal? I'm not convinced that "anime body parts" is viable unless you have the benefit of photoshop to blend away the edges and color correct for skin shade.

How did you join a community without looking like a fetishist? I'm transgender and I really love Lolita fashion, just recently decided to test the waters with my first coord and I absolutely loved it. I couldn't stop smiling when I had it on. But I could never wear it outside even if I looked impeccable, I just get too scared.

I want friends into this stuff, friends I can go out with in lolita so I don't get so scared. I want to join my local comm, but I'm afraid of being labelled a fetishist, and I'm new so I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to fashion.

As for me normally, I pass like 90% of the time when wearing androgynous clothes. But that could be because I'm at university and they're all hyper conscious about offending me.

Has anyone here joined a comm successfully? How was it? Was it hard to get people to take you seriously? Did you make friends?

More specifically, is there anyone in the Sydney comm? Can you tell me what it's like?

[Anonymous No.9652839]

depilatory powder is way too expensive in my country, almost 6 times more expensive and there are no six-packs , it cost almost 20-25 dolars a single can (and being from a latin american country that is enough to eat for a week) and the only affordable "options" around here are shitty like Nair (havent tried it but every one says that its not efective) or Veet (that i dont know how good is), i was thinking about searching what are the chemical ingredients and making it myself (wich is stupid and dangerous but it migth work with some trial and error and a lot of test subjects and wasted time)

[Anonymous No.9652992]

>>9652825
I'm not trans but I joined by local comm just fine. I was worried like you too. I uploaded some of my coord pics and included a link when I applied to join. Everyone has been very nice to me. If you're trans they have no excuse, and you certainly won't look like a fetishist. Unfortunately I can't speak for the Sydney community but I doubt it's going to be a problem.

[Anonymous No.9653576]

>How did you join a community without looking like a fetishist?
Easy. Join a comm without being a creepy fetishist. Just be a normal human being.

I've met a few men and mtf trans wearing lolita, and I'm in several comms myself and made friends with plenty of lolitas. I was scared at first, too, but most people IRL are not actually assholes.

Learn the fashion. Ask the comm thread what Sydney comm is like, but you don't have to mention you're trans. Apply to the Sydney comm (should be on facebook) and actually go to meets. If you're still too anxious, then try going to a convention by yourself and wear lolita.

Anyone got a good makeup guide/tutorial for getting yourself to look more like an anime girl rather than a drag queen?

All the vids on YouTube seem to lean towards the latter rather than the former. The closest I've seen is the vid linked in the google doc, but they're still very obviously male in it.

I've seen before/after pics of relatively masculine looking guys (unfortunately my face is not very androgynous) with great trap cosplays, so it has to be possible (pic related). I just can't seem to find any good tutorials for it.

I'll see if my friend can fix it. I didn't ruin them, but I do feel bad because they're pretty sentimental to me.

And

> doing a cosplay i've always wanted to do
> feels good
> worried that i'll still fuck it up because it's a historical military uniform and scrutiny will be high

> not doing another cosplay i've always wanted to do and am far more passionate about because i've been a lazy fuck about my diet and exercise regime and have gained enough weight that it would look like shit
> meanwhile (healthy, over-two-years) weight loss has nonetheless fucked up my face, so at least gaining a bit of weight makes me look less haggard

Could be worse.

[Anonymous No.9654473]

>>9654194
The only reason why pic related looks relatively masculine is because of the beard. His jawline and brow ridge are both pretty soft and he has decent lips to work with. Also the transformation looks dramatic because left photo was taken at a higher angle which makes everyone look cutesier. The best you can do is to selectively use drag queen tips.

Unless your face has some softness to begin with you're never really every going to look like an uguu anime girl and that's something that you're going to have to accept.

[Anonymous No.9654532]

>>9654473

That's a good point now that you point it out. I wouldn't consider my features sharp, but they definitely lean more masculine than feminine.

Help me out, do you think I can pull any trap-ish crossdressing off or am I doomed to look like a drag queen?

[Anonymous No.9654600]

>>9654532
It seems like you have something to work with. I think your best bet is a wig that frames your face better and helps you build some cheek volume. A little contouring to redefine your jawline helps as well but I don't think your chin is a full man chin.

Also you seem to have a pretty visible shadow so shave close and use a orange color corrector under the foundation to even out the color. Good luck anon!

[Anonymous No.9654689]

>>9654532
Try it and keep practicing the makeup. You won't know until you put in the work yourself. Post a pic if you need concrit.

[Anonymous No.9654692]

>>9654532
Contour your nose and practice practice practice GOOD, NORMAL eye makeup. Watch regular Instagram tutorials on how women do makeup. Mimic that and not drag queens. Honestly it takes us as women effort and practice to not looks like drag queens so it’ll take you some time too.

Also eyebrows and eyeliner are key to a good trap. Most guys ignore them completely or WAY overdo them. Go for a nice in between, like a regular girly club-look.

Thanks guys! I'm not very comfortable posting a full pic online yet, but maybe I'll post one for critique once I practice some more and think it looks acceptable.

In hindsight, checking out makeup tutorials for regular women instead of crossdressing specifically is such an obvious idea I've missed!

Just cosplayed Homura this past weekend at a /k/ meet-up, but unfortunately I couldn't really do any complex make-up, since the small mirror I had packed made it too difficult to contour or do anything beyond just basic foundation and eye make-up.

So I was wondering if anyone had tips for doing make-up for crossplay while camping or anywhere else where you wouldn't have a bathroom mirror or running water to help?

[Anonymous No.9655701]

[Anonymous No.9655867]

>>9655668
Bring makeup wipes and cleansing pads. It is honestly quite tough though, not having running water. Maybe keep some clean water in a spray bottle as well? A mirror with an led ring may be helpful as well.

Nice Homura cosplay though. I think it turned out well despite the limited supplies you had.

Getting a Morphsuit, should I just order as male or female for what I need to do?

[Anonymous No.9656643]

>>9656311
male cause you don't want that to be too tight and I find it easier to do male cause of the size fittings. When I tried on a female version that should have fit me it was too tight and the next sizes up were too lose but the male equivalent of the former was perfect.

For girls cosplaying characters who are traps, what should I be doing makeup wise? Do I even need to contour to make myself look more masculine, should I do it in some places but not others? I'm pretty lost on how far I should take the "he looks like a girl" thing.

[Anonymous No.9656935]

Fix it after it goes on your head. Wash and condition the wig before proper storage so it isnt a nightnare to style after you transport it.

I came to this thread to ask about buying hair minimizing lotion to apply to my legs after shaving, as I was noticing that my legs started to show signs of hair regrowth as soon as the morning after shaving. I was also getting what I think is razor burn on my thighs and crotch. However, now that I see this, I'm interested in trying it. Only thing I'm concerned about however is that I have what I believe to be sensitive skin, and I don't know how I'd react to a harsh treatment like this. Has anyone else tried it? I found this guide that seems to more or less say the same thing.

I have tried it and I can vouch that when done correctly it works wonders, however it can burn very easily, and many here have reported burning themselves with it.

Out of curiosity, what is a trap attitude?

Also 2hu is a pretty good first choice since it isn't too rare to see guys try. If this is your first time, even if you are blessed in the looks department, you can rest assured some elements of the cosplay will not be a 100% pass. Just take it as your first step in gaining some experience I guess.

Also you can selfpost here to ask for concrit on pulling off Renko. In a costume as simple as hers, shape and silhouette is key to be convicing.

Crossplaying 2hu at a local anime con is perfect for your first time so you shouldn't be nervous or anything, you'll fit right in. I don't know how you'll casually bring it up with your crush when you've only talked to her (him?) once, that seems even weirder than crossplaying 2hu.

I got my confidence to crossplay, and crossdress by doing it. I knew I would need a wig, so after months of cold feet I just bought a quality wig. And y'know what? Each step after got much easier because I was having fun with the whole experience. I'm not gonna say passing is unimportant, but as long as you don't go around asking if you pass, then the amount of jokes should be minimal; even back in my early days, despite looking like a man in a skirt, the only jokes I got was when I started them.
Also, asking someone that you barely know to crossplay is probably gonna be a terrible idea, unless you know he already likes to crossplay or crossdress, in which case that would probably make them suspicious about how you know that. Unless you're trying to make them go as man-in-a-dress level of crossplay as a "joke"

Wait, I think I have an even better idea than crossplaying Renko. Wriggle's not only cute, but also already androgynous and we have almost the same haircut anyways.
I guess it's not really crossplaying at this point, but I think I'll feel safer wearing shorts than a skirt, at least for now.

[Anonymous No.9663152]

>>9662813
I noticed quite an interesting thing.(having been in the touhou comm for about 7+years) while it seems intuitive to think that it may be easier pulling off androgynous characters, I think it is actually extra hard to do so well. Precisely because the character is a very delicate balance of female and male traits. Any male physical traits you have stand out very obviously. I seem to recall pointing this out to a anon who wanted to cosplay Mokou on one of the touhou cosplay threads.

But enough of that, if you are down for it, make sure the clothes you have for Wiggle are very distinctively feminine cuts. It wont look good if you use a male cut for the blouse and end up squaring out your shape.

Oh, really? That's an interesting observation. I'm pretty much set on Wriggle, so thank you for the advice, I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

It really depends on your proportions and what that outfit empathises, so there's no catch all answer here.
If you know how to alter a costume, the better fit in lengh is more important, if you have a decently feminine shape the fit in width is more important.

They stand with feet slightly closer together and rarely pointed widely outward. Not hunched shoulder but "small" shoulders, not stretching them wide. Their stride/walk is a little different- this is an easy way to pass. small/closed body language- arms crossed not in an angry type way but more "shy"

Even if you aren't shy dont worry that you are playing a role that isnt you- to pass with posture you have to mimic the small mannerisms.

From the second pic, you have a great figure, but in the first your shoulders look strangely wide.
My best guess is that the higher sitting skirt makes your upper body look shorter, which in turn messes with the ratio of height to width.
The dress flares out a bit in the lower section while the skirt hangs pretty straight, which doesn't help either.
Overall I wouldn't worry too much, looks fine.

Men's attitude that everyone should bow to make them feel included, the sense of entitlement and later outrage, is a fundamental issue. Maybe you need to reflect a little bit.

You sound like someone who doesn't respond to criticism very well. If you want to be a *real* lolita, why don't you flounce like a little ita and cry about big, bad lolitas to your twitter account?
Do you realize how ridiculous it is that you can't understand why women might not want men in the fashion, at least not sissies or creeps? Do you understand the feminist element of lolita for many girls? I'm serious when I say you should spend some time thinking.

Except lolita fashion has been one of few relatively safe nerd spaces for women, and the fact that you refuse to acknowledge that anti female sentiment exists all across most of 4chan, excluding maybe/u/, just showanted how much of an ass you are.

lol dude, chill. I'm MtF and even I think you're being an ass right now.

There's a very well documented problem with creepy guys invading j-fashion communities (specifically lolita for the most part) for fetish reasons. It's not "anti-male sentiment" it's women being concerned for their own safety and privacy because a lot of the creeps who try to wedge themselves into the community are pretty unstable people which can make them dangerous in a lot of ways, and even the ones who aren't dangerous are still disgusting to be around because nobody really wants to have to interact with people who they know are using them as some kind of prop or fuel for their bizarre fetish fantasies.

The fact that you're so defensive about this makes me wonder if you're one of these fetishists yourself desu. If you aren't then you don't really have anything to worry about because you're not who they're talking about, but you should still listen to what they're saying to make sure you aren't unintentionally doing things that are making the people around you uncomfortable.

Was posting mostly for the sake of shitposting, partially because I get sick of either sex being entirely tossed in with the worst of the rest of it for no other reason than clarification of the point's too much work.
So to speak truly, I have zero interest in J-fashion, in this thread for general crossplay discussion, and only for the purposes of having a wider array of characters to dress up as (as in no sexual component). So no, I'm not here to fetishizing anything. Nor do I like creepy / mentally unwell (to the point of actively being a problem) people worming their way into groups for nefarious reasons.
The point of the shitposting was to exemplify how bad what was being said is when lumping entire groups together with little to no mind for the impossibility of doing so with any accuracy. Like most things in dealing with other people, the only way to solve issues is on a case by case basis, and finding a correlation between a type of person of whom is a tiny part of a group magnitudes larger and a number of cases of said tiny part being generally terrible people with your group past factual observation is fairly shitty on the part of the person making the observation.

You can also say that a woman joining into a all male group of something will just about always result in major drama that tears the group apart, or say that x race is the reason crime rates are so high while pulling police statistics up, but doing that doesn't serve to help anything.
My point continues to be that lumping groups of people together that otherwise by a massive amount are completely unrelated does not help with whatever problems you might be having with that particular tiny subset of people, because doing so undermines trying to fix the problem and makes you a massive git.

If you’re looking for acceptance from other Lolitas then replicas ain’t the way to go.

There’s been a lot of vitriol in the thread and I’m not gonna try to feed it but... there are girls into lolita only because of the sissy shit. I understand the desire to just “hang with the girls” sometimes and a comm is free to exclude whoever they want. I had a dude stalk me once, I get it. At the same time it’s a shame when legitimately interested people give it a try but only get snubbed constantly.

I do agree, but when I cosplay at a con I stay out all day, so remaining tucked for 8+ hours isn't an option for me, so I wear a dance belt, for the majority of the day, but if there are any photoshoots, I'll tuck for them. And besides, if anyone's looking close enough at my crotch for it to matter, then there might just be issues more pressing than me having a dick
