I'll be posting some assorted pictures

>>8182655
is this a summer kigurumi? I've never seen them with a zipper, before. or is it a custom-made one?

>>8182655

>>8182661
I'd say the short sleeves make it a summer kigu, also sometimes they're made of terrycloth. Zippers aren't common, but they're on mass produced ones occasionally.

>>8182657
Are you stitches? Please tell me you are stitches. He's been in my town since I first got the game at launch.

>>8182661
It's the official Rilakkuma summer kigurumi. it's made from a nice mid-weight knit (think polo shirt/heavy t-shirt) I don't over-heat.

>>8182671
I think you're right anon

>>8182675
looks nice. I'm afraid of the price when I see the word "official"

>>8182682
I got mine for under $50 with a coupon from kigurumi-shop.com

= this nigga

>>8182727
sweet. this is a US store? else shipping and import would cost a fortune

>>8182904
Us store. it's an official distributor of SAZAC. They have coupons/promotions on occasion. Right now green kigus are $15 off for St. patty's day.

>>8182884
Why do you keep posting this? Stop.

I am patiently waiting for a commission.

>>8183047
what have you commissioned?

>>8183236
Nargacuga

>>8183295
Haha hi there.

Does anyone do commissions? I'm looking to get a yuri kuma or bearguy kigurumi.

Does anyone have a tried-and-true basic kigu pattern anywhere? Or any tips for making the 3D parts of a kigu? I really want to make myself a Lovely Horse Derpy-chan kigu and I took a commission for a friend as well, and while I'm sure I could draft one, I figured I would check with you lovely gulls first.

>>8183565
Here's a good basic tutorial!
>http://dirulicious.deviantart.com/art/Veeery-short-Kigurumi-Tutorial-199780986
I reccomend making your sleeves one piece though, just cut them on the fold. And I personally just make my hoods from two pieces, but that's a personal preference. Also line your hood.

As far as 3D parts be more specific. General tips would be to scale things down if you need to and make sure tails aren't too heavy because they'll drag and also pull the butt of your kigu down.

>>8183605
Thank you so so much! I can work with basic shapes like ears and tails, but I'm specifically stumped on Derpy-chan's head shape. I have no clue what to do with that at all.

I would also love to do a Toothless kigu, but for some reason that doesn't seem as difficult to me...even though I will probably screw up the tail completely and utterly.

>>8183622
please post a ref, but you're probably going to want to make a nose shape that overhangs on the hood.
Toothless doesn't have a lot of difficult shapes, he's just got a lot of details and would be pretty time consuming, probably not a beginner project.
Also what was the kigu your friend commissioned?Just curious!

>>8183684
We haven't worked out the details yet, she just contacted me wanting a kigu. She loves cats and bunnies, so perhaps it will be something like that?
I'm an experienced seamstress when it comes to apparel, so I'm not too stressed about the Toothless because, like you said, he's just a bunch of simple shapes.
Pic related was the only place I can find an actual picture of the original Derpy-chan kigu. It came up in another thread and anons told me to just make it since I couldn't source the original seller. Sorry that it's so small and isn't much help. Give me a minute and I'll mspaint a quick shape of the hood so you can tell me if I've got the right idea.

>>8183684
>>8183795
behold my shitty art skills, but is this the shape you meant?
Also, should I stuff it or leave it flat?

>>8183805
yes that kind of idea! Try looking at mlp kigus maybe? also a light stuffing coukd be cute, but don't go overboard or it'll get droopy.

>have red panda kifu
>have dinosaur kigu
>desperately want shark kigu

>not even that well made
>nah
>find shark onesie

Guess we're a trend now.

Still got my shark tho

>>8183866
I want pics of this.

>>8183866
You should cosplay shark cat on a roomba.

>>8183991

>>8184018
GOD DAMN KEYBOARD CHILL
>>8183991
lol'd
>>8183987
'kay

>>8184030
tfw no BMO kigu ;_;

>>8184034
IS THAT YOU C. I'M STILL MAD AT YOU.

>>8184034
I don't see how that would work with a hood...

I don't really have any good photos of my kigu, but mine is a Zigzagoon.

I also got some bear paw slippers to wear with it.

>>8183236
I really love what the panda did with her outfit...

I love my red panda kigu and while I have 3 others, this is my favorite forever!

I have a flying squirrel one but I'd love to get a Slifer one or one modeled after the Alpacasso dolls. Then of course Pokemon ones.. So many ideas.

>>8184048
the spot beneath your bed looks cozy as fuck

>>8182675
>>8182655
I found out last week that my brother is having a baby a couple of weeks ago.

Does anyone have a pattern for a onesie or kigu I can make for a little baby?

>>8184832
Jesus I need to proofread.
A couple of weeks ago my brother told me he is having a baby.
I like the bear one I linked specifically.

in the bus!

>>8183547
I'd also be interested in knowing this. I have a Bubble Bobble inspired jacket (I need to fix the paws and add the yellow blush myself) at the moment, but I'd love to have a proper Bub kigurumi.

>>8182607
I have been looking all over for a decent Penguindrum kigu. Do you by chance know where the person here got theirs from?

I thought I could get away with buying a knock off Rilakkuma kigu. Its so yellow, there is almost no difference between the color of the ears and the rest. To top it off, the Amazon seller has since closed up shop.

>>8188040
Still cute though.

>>8188040
haha.

>>8188040
I have that exact one! It has a zipper at the butt, weird

still nice, though, especially for the price. I couldn't even buy a regular pair of pyjamas at that price

>>8188454
Thanks! I mean, of course I still wear it. It reminds me a wee bit of Winnie the Pooh Bear.
>>8189026
That is absolutely correct! And it serves its purpose. It was so super cheap, I guess I can't really complain

>>8182607
Are we not going to talk about this cute penguin kigurumi from Mawaru penguindrum?? Want!

>>8190480
>Mawaru penguindrum

Sure, what about it?

Working on a Chocobo and not sure of the best way to pattern the head feather spikes.

>>8183547

I was looking to see if anyone had experience with this seller. They look like they've done some pretty interesting stuff

>>8185199
Same kigu, high five

>>8191957
>http://lemonbrat.com/pages/customs-gallery
Isn't lemonbrat Lime Barb's renamed company? I'd stay away personally.

>>8191957
>>8191993
Yep, that's Lime Barb. I saw a booth of theirs in a convention recently and their design logo is the same.

>>8184048
Is it bad of me that I want to see a pic of the area behind you? That bed set up looks amazing.

>>8192012
I also want to see it, looks really comfortable

>>8184830
>>8192012
>>8192017

Aw, thanks guys! This is basically what it is. Pic on the right is the most recent; just showing the ridiculous amount of plush things I have.

>>8192059
It's a regular bunk bed set-up with just the bottom bunk removed? Because damn, now I want one.

>>8192096
That's pretty much what it is.

I love it. It saves a lot of space and makes super comfy reading spots. It's also fun to decorate the frame. At the old house, I had Christmas lights and flowers tied up around wood.

>>8182607
Discuss? Oh, Ok. These are not cute. No one I've seen in a Kigurumi has looked cute. They make you look like a retard. They make you look like a face in a sack. Not in a good way either. When you wear them in public you actually look like you are wearing pajamas. You also look like you are trying soooo hard to be edge queens. LOLSORANDOM tumblr tard style. Your look is comparable to those really annoying autistic cosplayers who wonder around your local mall. The ones that you try really, really hard to avoid.

TL:DR you actually look stupid, not cute. You look stupid in the lolsorandom tumblr tard, talk really loud in the food court for attention, cut my wrist when I was 13 so senpai would notice me kind of way.

>>8192180

>>8192180

>>8192180
>They make you look like a face in a sack. Not in a good way either.

Please tell what what would qualify "in a good way"

>>8192180
who hurt you?

Does anyone know where to find pino's kigurumi? I was also thinking of cosplaying her (looks like it would be a very comfy cosplay) would it look weird? (I'm 152 cm and I have a very round mildly childish face)

Is this some kind of furry sub-genre

>>8192288
Not related at all though I'm sure some furries might have a couple for "casual wear"

bought this skeleton Kigurumi a while ago and it's adorable as fuck.

>>8192324
That's really damn cute!

>>8192180
>When you wear them in public you actually look like you are wearing pajamas.
..Anon, you do realize they /are/ pajamas right?

>>8192180
Nigga you dumb, that's just your personal opinion. I think that the previous president of Russia is fucking adorable and you can't prove me wrong because you simply can't make up rules on what people are allowed to find charming, delightful or appealing.

Yes, they are pajamas. I don't see what pajamas have to do with edge or cutting. Why are you complaining about animal pajamas on a fucking cosplay/lolita board? Many of these people go out dressed as cartoon characters.

>>8192059
looks so chill

>>8192243
amyone?

>>8192393
Sure beats this one amiright? We had all of those 2011 Cold War end treaties and now it's like BOOM Putin.

>>8184835
Your brother's pregnant? what?

>>8193838
Fuck off Putin is smokin

>>8192243
Prolly make or commission one. It's a pretty easy looking design! We can give you construction pointers if you'd like.

>>8193900
Yeah if you like a old racist and most likely sexist man who starts wars and is ignorant.

Boo unless you're Russian and over 24 he don't want your milkshake.

>>8193931
I found one on fanplusfriend but it looks like shit! Maybe you're right, do you know any easy pattern for a kigurumi that I could alter?

Ok, so I'm making a sort of cosplay kigu and am going to be putting feet on it since shoes aren't going to work well for it. Would this still be considered kigurumi? Because the body isn't footie pajama shaped.
Just curious what defines a kigurumi.

>>8194451
I think it just generally refers to something that covers the whole body. This is why the same word is used for those guys who put on giant anime girl heads and body suits. The feet could probably be squishy animal slippers nad it would fit fine.

>>8194451
forgot this

>>8194451
A kigu is just a very loose onesie pajama, beyond that there aren't really any rules.

>>8194058
see >>8183605

>>8194462
>gudetama kigurumi
Pls anon, don't do this to me. I want it.

>>8194552
I made a egg white bed and bacon blanket too. This will be the most comfortable convention ever.

>>8195242
I need pictures. So many pictures.

>>8195253
haha, if there's a kigu thread around I'll post. I haven't made one in years, so who knows how good it will look. Dear god I have less than a week...

>>8182643
Is... Is that south park?

>>8192007
What's the story? Why are they bad? I see them at almost every con I go to.

>>8195395
They've had some super questionable practices and commissions in the past. The only one I remember distinctly is this Harley Quinn costume disaster.

http://www.reddit.com/r/cosplay/related/elwoq/limebarbcom_costume_fail/

I'm making my first kigu, gonna start drafting today. It's an mlp for a friend, but how on earth would I put a unicorn horn on it, and expect it to stand upright?

>>8195686
make it relatively short, and sew the base are wide and possible, stuff it last.

do they make these in fat fuck (male) size? im 6'3 and 300 lbs but i'd wear the shit out of one if i could

>>8195754
just get an XL, I have yet to see someone who does not fit in it

but in the meantime, try to improve your health, anon-san

I want a good owl kigu but there are literally no cute owl kigu's around. Only the blue ones look decent, but blue owls meh ;_; Thinking about making a snow-owl kigu myself but no kigu experience. What are the things that could mainly go wrong?

eh.. bump?

>>8182682
Without the coupon and with shipping its max 80 bucks.
Which isnt bad.

>mfw plebs around me owning shitty cheap clothing superstore onesies instead of a glorious imported winter kigu

I'll never get used to other people posting my stuff in these threads... (but I appreciate it)
Also as always here to help answer any construction questions!

>>8195914
If you're super clueless try finding the blue owl for cheap and use it to make a pattern? As far things going wrong... well honestly fleece is very forgiving, it doesn't fray and if you have to redo a seam or something it probably won't show it. Also the loose fitting shape of kigus means you don't have to worry about it fitting poorly, unless you majorly mess up. Just look at some tutorials, I posted one earlier in this thread.
Oh and if you're doing wings that are attached to the arms and the body make sure you give yourself enough fabric that you can raise your arms up.
If you've got more specific questions ask'm.

>>8195253
I just finished it!
I won't be able to get a picture on the egg white until this weekend, but at least you can see the buttons and bacon blanket I made.
Man, I need to figure out what to wear under this because most of my clothes are dark and show through.

>>8201590
Jesus christ I love this

>>8201590
Those little egg buttons are so cute!

>>8201590
This is fucking great. Did you make the buttons too?

>>8201590
you are a god
Gudetama is the shit

>>8201590
Super cute, good work anon! Did you line the hood with something cute? Looking forward to more photos.

>>8201590

Well shit I need this

>>8201629
Thanks! And yeah the eggs are made out of epoxy. You know how offended I was that egg buttons aren't a thing that already exist?

>>8201673
(Sorry I'm on my phone or I'd just respond in one post)
It is not lined. I'd like to, but wether or not I do it depends on progress on other costumes before this weekend. Now that I'm thinking of it maybe there's egg print fleece or jersey online.

>>8201834
Don't line it with fleece your face will roast. I always line with cotton, jersey could work too. Even yellow polka dots or stripes would be cute!

>>8201823
You even made the buttons? I seriously thought you had bought them since they look so good.

/gif/s of people in kigus?

>8202169
Noted! polka dots or stripes didn't even occur to me. I won't be able to go fabric hunting until after con, but for now at least it's meant to be viewed from the side.
>8202804
Dang what a compliment. Thanks, it's good to know they at least pass the five foot rule.

I want to buy the Sazac Sheep kigu. I live in Europe.
What's the best place to buy it?

>>8209850
sazac official taobao: http://sazac.taobao.com/?v=1
UK distributor: http://www.kigu.co.uk/

>>8201823
How on earth did you make buttons, anon? I'm super curious, I never imagined that was a thing you could make.

What are the best pre-made kigurumi stores?

does anyone know where a gal can find a cheap kigurumi on amazon? my sister's going through a weeb phase and she wants one for her birthday but i don't want to drop too much on a kigu she'll only wear once or twice.

>>8212125
Go to Ebay. They're as cheap as $12 there with free shipping.

>>8185506
I thought I was the only one who still liked Bub and Bob as mascots. Totally agree a kigu would be cute. I feel inspired to make some t shirts...

>>8192096
I also have a loft bed with about 25 plushies under it including a life sized wolf and Dulux (old english sheepdog) plush. The bed takes up like 90% my room though so I have to keep the remaining floor space open... But if you're looking for one search for 'loft bed'.

>>8182607
I like her little stuffed toy

>>8212645
It's from Mawaru Penguindrum.

>>8209973
A magical thing called apoxie sculpt. I wasn't sure I could make buttons either until I saw my roommate using it for a sword hilt. I just made the egg first and let that dry and sculpted a loop on the back. Pretty solid too. None of them have broken and I've tossed the thing around and flopped on to my stomach. One of them gave me a bruise.

>>8212724
That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen from a kigu.

>>8212724
Kigurumi to the next level right here.

>>8212724
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen, fullstop.
