>First cosu commission ever in progressIt was as good a time as any
Welp.
It's been a while
Well I tried
How many guys percentage wise can successfully pass while crossplaying?
>>1097490540%
>>10974905depends on the character and their skill
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask. I'm not too familiar with this board as I'm usually on /o/My buddy's birthday is coming up and his friends and I decided that the best gift would be for me to dress up as a maid or cat maid for him. I know there's plenty of cheap shit on Amazon, but I have absolutely no intention of ever doing this again so I might as well go all out for the shits and giggles, especially since I'm pretty close with this friend.My budget is around 75 USD. I'm a 5'9", 135 lb man with a fairly slender build. I really don't want to shave anything besides my face, so a costume with knee socks or stockings would be ideal. I'd also be open to a wig but I imagine a decent one might be out of the budget ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've already got someone lined up to do makeup and don't need shoes. I should also note whatever I order needs to come in by September 5th-6th. Any suggestions on an outfit, accessories, or where to look would be greatly appreciated. I have absolutely no experience with this kind of thing and want to make this unforgettable =D
>>10975083Sounds kinda gay zbh. That aside, you gave yourself a pretty narrow window there. Yeah, I took 6 days to get back to you, but even then 2 weeks wasn't much. If this really is just "shits and giggles, one time only" then there's not much point in going out your way for something fancy. The standard "Tiktok maid" fit would actually show up before your due date too. Or better yet, ya know...just maid. Removing "cosplay" from the equation makes the material higher quality more often than not, sad to say. And then ears/tail separately

Opinions on getting implants for crossplay?
>>10975527That's just trans at that point. I hope that pic isn't real, because imagine getting implants when the same person won't ever wear makeup
>>10975530Oh its very real, and it blows my mind that someone would actually do it
>>10975531Grim... I like the ability to transform with crossplay. Bro is just stuck with massive tits even when doing normal guy things
>>10975532Yeah, that's gotta be a trip. Dont get me wrong, they look great in cosplay, but that's like a small part of his life and now hes stuck with these cannons
>>10975532It's not real you dumbass.
>>10975545helpful comment, sperg
>>10975083Need a friend like this.
>>10975633awesome wig, did you style it?
>>10975083Late to the party, but finding decent quality maid outfits is not as easy as you would think. There are some Japanese brands that make high quality stuff, but getting something from there will take some time.As the other anon stated, if it's for shits and giggles, just go with some maid cosplay on aliexpress or something.
>>10974092>be me>6'4" and 6.6"Where can I find a crossdresser to mouth fuck?
>>10975083>his friends and I decided that the best gift would be for me to dress up as a maid or cat maid for himCan you please tell us more about this conversation and your reasoning?
>>10975903Pretty easy. If you're okay with them being a dude with no makeup in a dress. Passing crossdressers are a tiny minority
>Finally get update pics on my Bairoetto Ebagaaden commissionThe Good>Take pics with two Violet's last week, one who got it from Amazon and one from DokiDokiCosThey looked decent so mine must be stunning. The very good>Expected to arrive in 2 weeks from now, initiallyYeah she's in Kiev, that isn't happening. The Not So Good.
>>10974092Am finally deciding to get back into my old crossdressing ways. A big thing is that I wanna prepare for a local pop culture convention in a big city. I have a good thing that I am in general short, while at the same time, I have gained some weight in the years.The big goal for now is to diet and exercise enough to lose my belly and slim down a bit so I can fit in the clothing much better.
Brolita life is pain unending. We exist so the universe can laugh at its own joke forever.>burando sizing is going to look off if you're taller than 1m60>taobao indies considers an 80cm waist to be XXXL>western "brands" never ever deliver and only upscale for fatties, not for taller sizes (when they're not dead on arrival in the first place)>trying to interact with any comm online or other group will only be an excuse to bring up THE TRANS QUESTION>pro-trans groups WILL call you an egg and try to groom you>not-so-pro-trans groups will just go "ew tranny"Oh well.
>>10976053>pro-trans groups WILL call you an egg and try to groom you>not-so-pro-trans groups will just go "ew tranny"We are not "allies" in the ideological sense or even for shared interest. Those outside will not get why, so we're on our own. I'm motivated to keep crossplaying for how effectively it filters people. No rugpull "by the way guys, dressing as an anime girls? one of my biggest hobbies" moments. You see it as is, take or leave
>>10976062Funny you mention that cause no one gave a damn 20 years ago and now I treat crossdressers like radioactive aids unless its blatantly obvious a regular conversation can be had. And I just mean like we're in line together, talking the shit at the cafe, playing arcade together or something. Had a dude I shared 2 hotel rooms with (covered him for free, told him I snored) that did it (crossing) but now he went full tranny and is insufferable.Trannies ruined so much goodwill.
>>10976053Just the other day I was wondering if brolitas still exist here. Not only is the board ded, but the general seemed to be as well until recently. Anyway.>burando sizing is going to look off if you're taller than 1m60For burando it's a bit mixed. Some brands consistently offer decent options nowadays and see the foreign demand for extended sizing in either direction, others don't seem to be interested or do not recognize the potential.>taobao indies considers an 80cm waist to be XXXLTaobao has become a field of mushrooms. So many stores and labels shoot out of the ground so quickly and die off again without a word just as fast. Their styles range all the way from okay quality and traditional burando inspired to stuff that barely passes as a whacky costume which may or may not be lolita inspired. Although by subjective observation the majority steers towards the later to cater to Chinese tastes which is also why I can understand why they do not bother with sizes above 80cm waist much. Get cheap garnments out as quickly as possible to sell it to the biggest target customer group. Few releases are a bit more accomodating, but tend to suffer from the same issue as mentioned by you, they only go wide and do not match the length either. In the end any length issue can only be solved with underskirts.>western "brands" never ever deliver and only upscale for fatties, not for taller sizes (when they're not dead on arrival in the first place)Western brands were never my thing either.>comms and groupsSometimes the only solution is setting an example yourself. You can't change how others think about you, so your best bet is just being good at the style game, be a decent person with common sense, stay reserved and ignore those who distract you. But I get that it's annoying.
Can I please get some tips on how to get started with styling wigs?
>>10976151>Step before you do anythingPIC RELATED>What else you'll wantHair clips, styling brush, sewing pins, wide tooth comb, wig scissors, foam head or any equivalent to prop up>PositionProp it on the head, stabilize with pins. Bust out the clips and contain the exact area you want to style. Comb and brush out any tangles, starting from the bottom>Wig itselfGet the scissors ready. Reference photos with as many angles as you can find. Cut with scissors going UPWARDS NOT ACROSS. Take it slow and remember that cutting too little will always trump cutting too much>DetailsThe Got2Be that makes it happen. Spray the pinned down area. Get out something I didn't mention yet: a heating device. I use a hairdryer (on low) but some will do steamer or curling iron. Pass it over the sprayed part. You'll know it worked if that isolated part of the hair is now togetherThe basics. I'm not great with ahoge for instance>>10976075That's pretty easy for me anyway to be desu>Mickey Mouse voiceSee ya>Hey bro what's hanginCool. There's a 90% chance those types are already posting here even when I don't know it yet
>>10976075It fucking sucks being a traditional crossdresser in a world where you're expected to be something more. I just want to enjoy looking cute, there's little more to it than that, but for some reason there ALWAYS has to be something behind it. It makes it nearly impossible to interact with other crossdressers online anymore because there's always a risk of trannies (see: even the discord in the OP is riddled with them) and unless they're the rare sane kind who recognize they'll never be women and just present as such for the sake of disarming their dysphoria they're almost always the exact kind of bitchy babytrans who'll try and groom you at every possible opportunity.
>>10975527I'd love to get implants, but the breastplate I got recently is a more convenient alternative tho>>10975530Depending on the day and situation I can Cross play without makeup, just a good shave and some skin care can be enough for full on Crossplay like going to cons or events, makeup all the way
>>10976075Not wanting to be mistaken for trans is why the first thing I say to anyone at a con is "I'm a guy, this is a costume."
