Hey, thanks! Its really good made. O.o
Ive seen a lot of online cosplays but rarely are this good.

ATroupeLeaderBaby · Feb 9, 2013

Maybe, if your budget allows you can buy there or you still have the option of making the cosplay with your own clothes.

Hope I didn't bug you with all my questions :plz:

MegyTomitatsu · Feb 9, 2013

Well, my budget would allow me, but I think I should save up for more important things :uh..:

Ill see thou x)

And, not at all :sparkleguy:

You were trying to help me, for that I thank you! :bow:

@puts: Thank you. I have to admit I am very proud to say that the belt and the gloves I wore, are the original items Hikaru wore for the dress. I was soooo happy when I found them. I have found similar fabric for the symphonia outfits, not exactly the same, but really similar. Maybe, since I still can't do anything, I will find even better fabrics. Who knows. The internet is a wonderful place for this... Of course I can provide a picture of the cream colored one. Here it is:

Waaahhh!! So cool that you got the original pieces!!!!

Ah, that one!!! LOL! :dote:

It's so pretty!!! I am REALLY excited to see the end result!!! But I gotta admit that once again, I prefer Wakana's outfit :P:P :ohoho:

@HimeWakana: WOW!!! Looks great!!! :dote:

this may be sooo late, but, welcome here Troupe-san~ :sohappy:

whooaaa, nice cosplays there! :shy:

and i didn't know that HimeWakana-san loves cosplay too! :shy:

i love cosplays too, but i prefer to self-design simple lolita dress than cosplay from popular artist / chara, since... it is too hard, have to prepare lots of similiar things.... it must be hard.
and though i can sewing too, i can't make dresses (i once made dress for barbie, but it was wrong in its size ._.), so usually i made the design and my mom sew it for me :sohappy:

and that creamy-coloured dresses of Kalafina are my favorite, too! :shy:

i love the three of them~

aaaanyway, why don't you be a seamsress (?) online? not all people who loves cosplay can sew their own cosplay things, right?
so you can do things you love, and produce money too~ :plot:

ooooooh my, long time not being online, not exercising my english, and now i find my english is getting weirder.... :uh..:

ATroupeLeaderBaby · Feb 13, 2013

THANK YOU littlefelicita :waii:

Would you mind posting pics of your designs and costumes??? Gomen I'm soooo curious...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I do my own desings too, but after hearing that Kalafina would come to Germany I thought 'Now or never'.

Thank you :shy:

I thought about opening a "cosplay shop" and offer sewing cosplay dresses (Kalafina, etc), but honestly I don't trust myself enough to produce something that's worth the money of a customer. My dresses aren't really professional, if you take a really close look :desksweat:

Maybe, when I have more experience in sewing and pattern creating, I will do it as a side job. The only thing I know for sure is that I won't stop sewing cosplays and my own designs (although my sewing machine is from hell :blood:

), cause I really really really love it and can't get enough of it.

NAAAHHHH, your English is not getting weirder. I understood everything

that's what i draw, i never get them in real dress :uh..:

Nee, what do you think?
I draw the much more simple design sso my mom can sew it, and my mom still modify my design, "Your design is too fluffy and lacy and weird, so i sew it with less lace~" she said. :uh..:

but well, better have less lace than none ._.

hmmm why don't you ask to 'real' seamsresses? i'm sure they'll give you good suggestions~
but from what i can see, your dress is quite nice :shy:

ATroupeLeaderBaby · Feb 17, 2013

WOW

these are amazing. Absolutely not to compare with mine. If I have time I will try to uplaod a collage of some of my drawings (I made a collage for an Ayumi Hamasaki Fanbook, in hopes that this book will reach Ayu *prays*)

I would love to see some of your designs sewn. They must be sooooo pretty.

Oh thank you :chuu:

I've tried so many seamstresses and most of them were like 'Oh why should I help you??? If I help you, you won't have to let me sew it.' It's always about the money and they are SOOOOOO goddamn expensive...

For now I'm trying to figure out how to convince my relatives to lend me money, so I can buy a new sewing machine. I even consider opeing a project in a crowdfunding community to be able to sew all planned costumes (but this has to be well thought out.) :uh..:

littlefelicita · Feb 19, 2013

i would like to see your drawings too! upload them one day, okaay?
and i want to see your collage too~ i am going to make a photoscrap for my friend's birthday but need more references.....

i dunno if these can be called cosplay/lolita or not, since my mom used less lace than the amount i want :uh..:

and sorry i don't have any proper photos :uh..:

eeeeeeeh

why they are soooo cruel~??
uhmm but i dunno either about seamstresses here, since my mom is seamstress too and i can easily learn from her without paying...
or, my mom usually goes to boutique or something like that and sees some dresses and thinks "Ah, this kind of model should be sewn like this, and this dress is sewn like this~" and try it at home :XD:

is your sewing machine in that bad condition? :confu:

my mom uses the same sewing maching since i was born ~ +/- 17 years ago (?) (or maybe years before i was born?) ~ and it is still in good condition....
or maybe your machine needs technician to fix some parts, so you don't need to buy the new one?
.... just my opinion, though~

ATroupeLeaderBaby · Feb 25, 2013

HEY,

sorry for coming back sooo late. It's been kind of stressful and depressing at the moment :rain:

Long story :cry:

The photos look really good. Honestly I don't know myself at what point a dress can be called lolita :XD:

) . Plus it has huge problems with more than one layer of fabric, so any sort of Kalafina cosplay is impossible to sew :omg:

But now enough talk, please enjoy the pics :sohappy:

Hime_Wakana · Feb 25, 2013

wow They're all BEAUTIFUL!!! :sohappy:

ATroupeLeaderBaby · Feb 28, 2013

Oh thank you Hime :sohappy:

It's the first time someone sees these designs (besides Ayu, if the fan book reaches her). I always hide them in a book, trying not to think too much about them, cause they're some kind of emotional outlet at the moment :wai:

Hime_Wakana · Feb 28, 2013

Dozoo dozooo!! They're really wonderful!! :dote:

Better late than never ^_^
