going to AX this year for a bit, but I wanna improve my mamimi cos. Rn im in the process of redoing the wig, but the clothes kinda bother me.

Ill post some pics of the jacket, thats mainly what I wanna improve. I wanna add her little jewel thingy but I dont know how I could make it and attach it, id have to make a little pocket and I cant really sew. (beginner kinda, I started cos in 2023)

also with her sailor collar, I dont know what color to dye it. I have tan dye, but I cant make out what the hell the color is in the anime. I will also paint the black stripe red.

pleaseplease give me advice since it looks a little cheap, ill be posting more photos to show it. Ill post many updates as well!! :)

October 31st-November 2nd
Oregon Convention Center

who's going?
what will you be cosplaying as?
I will be going as Ryu Hayabusa if anyone wants to meetup

Haven't seen the Texas thread in over a month, so I guess I'll make one since I'm a frequent poster in them

UPCOMING EVENTS (that OP remembered about):
Anime Frontier - Dec 6 to Dec 8
Ikkicon - Jan 10 to Jan 12
Weebcon - Apr 18 to Apr 20
A-Kon - lol

Discuss topics about Texas cons here, such as why Anime Frontier decided to give a bunch of people free Sunday passes

What are your rare, unconventional or unpopular opinions in lolita fashion? I don’t like when girls wear gold tea parties in coords that have no gold in them, I see this particularly in sweet lolita and it gives off the same vibe as when itas wear white blouses with dresses that have no white in them, it just ruins the coord. Pic unrelated.

Sharing a hotel room at a con:

Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?

Have you ever thought about getting plastic surgery for cosplay?

If you did, were the results favorable?

ramona closet cosplay lolzz

Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby

Why is it always cringe and reeks of hubris and arrogance from the person cosplaying? It feels highly narcissistic.

quack!

Anyone can recommend good Yami Kawaii brands/shops/etc when it comes to Yami Kawaii fashion?

I'm trying to find if this specific set of underwear/lingerie Hitagi Senjougahara wears in Monogatari is sold anywhere (I've seen numerous cosplayers wearing this set or her other pink one) or if they most likely commissioned someone? Thoughts

I'll start, sewed a 1,5 meter seam wrong on a cosplay, and have to rip it manually.

suzupoii thread

We're once again approaching the time for AWA. Anyone here going? Any interesting cosplays you're working on? Will there be a /cgl/ meetup? Dates are December 18th through December 21st, 2025, located at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C.
