/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Note that literally no one likes the trips that posted in this thread and this thread is massively shit.

Correlation = causation.

Ooh lucky.
I found one in france for 97$ CAD. Ughhh so much money for something that is essentially a toy.

>>6969665
Ojamajo Doremi Tap and Wand.
Just think of it like Sailor Moon brooches and wands.

>>6969667
Like all things I want badly, eBay.
Unfortunately, all the wands are complete sets and are 100 to 500$.
Unless you try ebay international and want to spend 100$ or so. I can hook you up with links if you like

Picked this up from the post office today.

Now to figure out how the hell Im going to make Hazuki's first season witch apprentice outfit.

>>6931907
it IS a dangerously expensive hobby, all the magical girl stuff from my childhood is upwards of $100 to $2000 and anywhere in between.

>>6931690
I would have killed for one of those when I was a kid...I mean, on ebay, they were abundant and not overly expensive, but I had no income then and it was a sad, sad time for me.
But now I'm an adult with a source of income and I can do what I want ahahah

You can buy items second-hand for (mostly) reasonable prices on the egl_comm_sales on livejournal, or you can check closet child for used brand items.
Of course, if you have a specific dress in mind, and it's sold out, you'll have a hard time finding it new.
You can also use angelic pretty's and baby the stars shine bright online english shops if you don't mind paying brand prices for dresses and the like.

should be here in the next two weeks. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the two together for such a low price. (as opposed to 115$ for used and missing parts or 200$ for new in box)
Mostly only need these for my Witchling Hazuki cosplay, but man if I just love collecting magical girl wands/lockets/toys.`

McCall's Costumes patterns or Simplicity's Medieval costume patterns might be what you need. It's really all about altering it to have a short skirt on it with a fitted bodice and poofy-topped sleeves.

>How many cons do you attend a year?
None as of late. In the past I did 1 to 2 a year.
>What is your profession?
Graphic Designer.
>Do you actually cosplay/egl?
I wear lolita more than I do cosplay.

I'm not mad, though?
It was a "shit I forgot to take a picture before I left for school" shot.

>>6830556
Oh. Jeeze, no haha! I would NEVER get that done. Everyone says it's dangerous and only a fool would do that to themselves.

>>6830516
Breast reduction is dangerous?
Dunno who told you but my doctor, my friends mom (RN) and my aunt (RN) all agree it's the best option for my back-pain and shoulder problem.
Calorie count is already low. I'm actually clocking in UNDER my count, which is bad.
It's not like I eat crap and sugar.
I DO, however, suffer from Hypothyroidism. An underactive thyroid. I'm on medication for it (125mcg) which, I think, has helped. I've lost 1 lb this week.

Considering I've only ever posted 3 images of myself, I have been making progress. It's just hard to make progress when you don't have much to start with.
>>6830491
I'm sure things will fit better/look better after my reduction and weight loss. Then again I had just come back from class in that pic. Doesn't surprise me that I forgot to re-adjust my clothing from carrying a super-heavy backpack.

Self post because why not.
Things were a little wonky due to walking back from class in high winds. Also no wig. Generally don't wear a wig if I'm gonna be in class for 5+ hours.

-Carry a small fold-able fan (the round ones, not the other kind)
-Keep water on you to stay hydrated
-take frequent breaks
-Carry a small electric fan if a paper one does nothing for you
-stay out of the sun if possible

I'm already touching on what's been covered, but attempt to dress for the weather. Summer Cons are terrible for stupidly inappropriate for the season costumes. (ie: anything ever that isn't a seifuku, dress, skirt or short-sleeved.)

>shoes listed at 40$
>JPY 2,999 aka 29$
WELL SHIT. Wish I had known this sooner.

>>6826440
I'm almost tempted to redesign their website layout just to see if I can do better.

>>6826416
If you want it that badly, buy it now. Who knows if it'll be there in that colorway come sale-time.

>>6826370
I feel like the layout could have been handled better so it doesn't make you scroll ALL the way down the page.

>>6818230
Do they bleed if you pick them?
Or are they similar to chicken skin on a persons legs?

You might want to try a gentle scrub or clay mask. Maybe even a shea-butter moisturizer might help it.

>>6816088
I would, but I'd need to alter the pattern of the print to make it repeatable so it wouldn't look off.
that and it's not right to make money off someone else's design.

I feel like if someone DID make a community for this, I'd be the only person making vectors for it.
