>>10945399While it'd be possible, March (especially end of) is pretty late in the season to get such significant inclement weather that anything would need to be canceled.
>>10944731>What was your favourite purchase of last year?Not technically a purchase, since it was a trade, but Baby's Marie Rose OP!

>>10945580gorgeous, congrats
>>10945399There's a Great Lace discord server where you could ask that question. https://discord.gg/DTe92aThPz As a Midwesterner, weather wise, what's trickiest is the temperature. Could be in the 70's or the 30's as we transition into spring. You usually don't have to worry about extreme weather around this time of year besides rain or maybe snow.
>>10945399Weather will likely be fine in March

Thread for posting your cosplays, or asking advice on cosplaying. Stop making singular threads for your cosplays, newfags, this isnt reddit
>>10944774Whats some simple vosplay using everyday items for male. I know clark kent is popular. What else is there. I want to do something simple but at the same time eye catching. Preferably comics or mainstream Fandom. Not into big anime much other than one punch man.
Best glue to glue fabric? can't stitch anything sadly
First cosplay ever! I sewed the top half myself with a pattern from indigo patterns on Etsy. It’s a sleeveless button up shirt, jacket, and bow brooch. This is made with bed sheet and it’s my first time sewing anything with sleeves. The cosplay judging booth at the con I went to really liked it :) Skirt isn’t screen accurate because usps got delayed >>10944967I’d use your work/personal desk as a sewing space. I’m guessing that you have a pc and that’s the issue, right? Is it possible for you to store your pc and use a laptop instead? That way, both machines are easily portable and you can alternate
Suppose I'm trying to put spots on a spandex bodysuit, do I paint it in or glue foam instead?
>>10944774Need some help : I have glasses I want to temporary tint. Is there some kinds of transparent stickers that works for that ? I can’t buy another pair

>Ask a cosplayer to take a picture of him/her.>Refuses.
>>10943432How does one come off as a creep?
When I cosplay, I plan on denying all pictures. Nothing personal, just don't like being on camera, is all.
>>10943709Why even cosplay then if you don't want attention
>>10945632Covert narcissism
>>10943709for me its being okay with pictures but refusing to look at them because I hate what I seebut if they want to take pics of ugly me sure go ahead just do not show me

Inspo for "post-lolita" style coords, aka aristocrat, madame, lady, shokujo, classical, etc. This thread is not for a specific style so much as a vibe. Abilletage is a brand that exemplifies it.
>>10941813Is she wearing that corset upside down?
I’ve been a cosplayer since 2016, and over the years, I’ve developed some strong opinions about the community—some of which have sparked controversy. I want to share these thoughts in the hopes of fostering open discussion and understanding:1. **Character Accuracy**: For the sake of authenticity, I believe cosplayers should aim to choose characters within their own race and age range. While body type isn’t as critical, I personally find it frustrating when character designs are vastly misrepresented—particularly in cases like Daenerys Targaryen or Slave Leia. This isn’t about exclusion but about maintaining the integrity of the characters.2. **Politics in Cosplay**: Cosplayers with significant platforms should be mindful about sharing political views. As someone with more conservative values (e.g., pro-life and a supporter of former President Trump), I feel this can create unnecessary division in what is meant to be a creative and inclusive space. It’s already apparent where many in the community stand, so I don’t see the need for constant political messaging.3. **“Valid” Cosplay**: While inclusivity is important, I don’t agree with the blanket statement that “all cosplays are valid.” There are certain boundaries that, if crossed, can be harmful or inappropriate—for instance, dressing as controversial historical figures like Hitler at conventions. This isn’t about gatekeeping but about ensuring mutual respect and understanding within the community.I want to emphasize that I respect and appreciate the creativity of all cosplayers. However, I do think that a balance between positivity and constructive critique is essential. The overly cheerful and “everything is perfect” approach can sometimes stifle honest conversations about standards and boundaries in cosplay.
>>10944203*don’t cosplay any soldiers or specops unless you’re a veteran. Retarded autocorrect
>>109432721. Nah. That isn't what we are going to do. I've been cosplaying for 27 yrs and I know the trends.Main media STILL caters primarily to 2-4 body types, a couple noses, 3 face shapes, and a short age range if you are female. Which is why the same 3 types of girls get popular because they look SO like Elsa, or SO like Jinx, or SO like Princess Peach. We've had 100+ years of media out there and just now we are starting to try other types of people. So no, we are not aiming to stay within race, age, or any of that. Make it well and make it look good on you are the only things I look for when people costume outside of the canonical look. Because media look was allllll about exclusion and we don't have to live that way. 2. Agreed. 3. Agreed mostly. The only validity issue I've ever had was bought vs.made. I used to not count purchased cosplay. But now I feel like we are all just playing dress up. It's not that serious.
>>10943273/threadalso>>10943272>I dislike when people uses cosplay to pontificate of their political opinion. Here, let me pontificate of my political opinionOP is a faggt, news at 11
>>10943272>2016 is considered along time nowIm so old. should you be on tiktok or something.
My hot take is that there isn’t a point to cosplay if you aren’t at least either sewing/crafting parts of it yourself, styling a wig, making a prop, doing makeup that’s harder than just normal makeup in a different color, or legitimately getting into character by adopting their mannerisms. If you just buy a premade cosplay and slap on a wig, it’s no different to just buying and wearing clothes
