Old thread is about to hit the bump limit. What do you have coming in the mail gulls?
179 posts and 69 images submitted.
Two cute blouses, a ponytail clip-on, and a pink bag with a clear front panel. Also debating buying some dresses and skirts, but I'm trying to not give my wallet a reason to strangle me in the night and run away.

I need some help finding some cute ways to tie up my hair that doesn't cause breakage. I feel like whenever I use normal accessories like hair ties or bobby pins, I can hear my hair snapping when I take them out. Any suggestions?

or do you guys just exclusively wear wigs
Good Morning Australia. Maybe log off for a bit and come back tonight for the majority of posters.

There's hair acessories that don't damage, but it depend's on what hair styles you do. What styles do you like to wear the most?
I've pretty much use scrunchies exclusively if I can help it.

Hoping this is /cgl/ related because it's a Japanese crane game app where you can get anime & game merch, plushies, and Japanese household items.

Any other players or former Toreba addicts?

With all the shape shifting and transformation that comes with cosplay how do you stay in sync with who you are inside? Does being an artist affect how you see yourself? Personally, cosplay has kinda made me feel faceless.. like a blank canvas.. and I've lost a grip on who I am outside of cosplay.. does this mean cosplay is my identity? anyone else feel the same?

Sounds like you have a real problem because wearing a costume should not be doing anything to your identity.

A thread to share craft/cosplay space tips, inspiration, etc.

Post your crafting space or one you find inspiring, share some things that made your crafting easier, etc.

Some questions:
>Do you have a designated area for your crafting/cosplaying, or do you borrow the dinner table/floor/kitchen counter?
>Do you have a studio or makerspace? Would you want one?
>How do you store your materials? What about finished items or tools? Is everything in one place or parsed out? What about big/fragile items like heavily styled wigs?
>Do you keep any of your materials/finished items on display?
>What are your crafting space goals? What do you need to work on?
>Favourite item/life hack to keep your crafting stuff organized?

I use a large desk in my room for sewing & cutting out patters. Been meaning to buy one of those cheap tables to put outside for sanding
I want to move out into a 2 bedroom place just so I can have an office like this.

Going to a con alone soon, what do you guys do when alone at cons?

I was just going to walk around, take pics of some cosplayers and go to a bunch of panels because I usually don't get to go to many panels. but kinda boring to just do that.

>I was just going to walk around, take pics of some cosplayers

That and I hang out in the dealer's room and artist alley. Granted I do that even when I'm not alone either.
last con i went to alone i spent a ton of time walking around the con space, eating as many snacks as i wanted, sitting in the gaming room.it's nice to take the con in at your own pace
>tfw might have to go to a con alone as well

I don't know, anon. Put up a false bravado and enjoy yourself. Go to the arcade and dealer's room. Knock yourself out.

Lolita and other j-fash enthusiasts, what are your thoughts on modifying brand?

Some questions to start off:

>Have you modified your brand? What were the modifications? Were you happy with the result?
>Have you had your brand modified by a professional? Who did the alterations? What did the finished product look like?
>As a buyer, would you buy something with minor modifications (ie removing bows, moving buttons, etc)? Would you buy something with major modifications?

On the same subject, what are the most common fit issues you have? Have you solved them with alterations?

Pic somewhat related, turns out a lot of people don't know how to sew a button.
I modified a dress when I was a fat and then lost 40 pounds and the dress is ruined. YMMV but to me it's not worth it, you're not going to be the same size or weight forever.
I've altered a few old tiny cheap meta skirts. It was worth it, i unpicked the waistband, added a couple inches from the waist ties, regathered the skirt, and sewed it back on. I turned the waist ties into a head bow. Definitely worth it.
