  1. /cgl/, cosplay, and lolita Guidelines:
  2.  
  3. /cgl/:
  4. ★If you see something wrong, report it.
  5. ★/cgl/ is harsh. Don't expect compliments all around. We will criticize you, but a lot of it will be helpful.
  6. ★There are a lot of trolls on /cgl/. Report and hide the thread and it will be gone.
  7. ★The /cgl/ archive is useful: http://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/cgl/
  8.  
  9. Cosplay:
  10. ★ Don't buy anything from Milanoo.
  11. ★ Always wear a wig. Normal hair cannot stay styled as well as a wig can.
  12. ★ Satin is not a good material for your costume. It will reflect poorly in photographs. Satin can work, but you need to use a good quality satin (look for bridal, casa, and peau de soie satins, not shitty costume satin) and it needs to be used properly. Nice dresses, princess gowns, things like that. It's NOT for school uniforms, suits, simple day dresses, etc.
  13. ★ If you're just starting out, attempting a suit of armour or a gundam when you've never made a costume before is a little farfetched. Begin with simple designs,
  14. ★ There is nothing wrong with buying your costume as long as you don't pretend to have made it. Don't be ashamed.
  15.  
  16. Lolita:
  17. * Lolitas are known for being brutal bitches. If you can't take the heat, walk away.
  18. ★ Again, don't buy from Milanoo.
  19. ★ If you're new to the fashion, Bodyline is a good place to start. (http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/)
  20. ★ 99% of the time, ebay lolita purchases will be horrible quality and you will be mocked.
  21. ★ Replica discussion usually goes nowhere.
