SO, odd question. I have a very non-passing air about me (square jaw, 6'0, heavy lifter) but I really want to avoid "haha look it's a swole guy in a wig!!" I guess what I'm asking is how do I tastefully thread the needle? Cuz I'm obvi not passing.

Cosplaying kancolle too, so that doesn't help. I figured I could be one of the high-tonnage boats like Iowa, musashi, nagato etc to lower the irony factor?

Both. Just be aware that there's a limit of how close you can get to that ideal. You do it for the fun.

This is why this thread exists. Ocassionally dressing up for fun doesn't imply anything.

Go to a store or look up an online shoe shop. That's how accurate your question is.

>>9870508
These masks might be somewhat acceptable to hide your face if you're too scared to get recognized, but they neither help you passing nor do they add anything to the crossplay itself.

Midriff is a giveaway for a lot of mtfs, so you might want to look yourself in the mirror and judge based on that.

The corset is for pulling in the waist, for an hourglass figure. As the average guy is usually a line straight down, or beefier at the shoulders, it is imperative that some kind of padding is at the hips, especially for form fitting, and one-piece outfits. To minimize the amount of hip padding you need while retaining a more feminine form you should have a waist that is thinner than your hips by a noticeable degree.
tl;dr: as long as the clothes are sized properly, a waist girdle or some kind of corset would increase the illusion of femininity especially in one-piece outfits like a dress

It's probably a better idea to get something that's made to your measurements rather than trying to fit into a female size. You could fit in most of the measurements but potentially something like the shoulders on the costume could be too small. To fix something like that you'd have to size up which would cause other dimensions of the costume to end up being too big for you.
A properly fitted costume looks a lot better regardless of if you're crossplaying or not.

I'm not sure how I feel about trans posting here, if everything plays out way it should you should be like every normal woman cosplaying, whereas this thread is explicitly for temporary passing.
I personally don't mind, since you more than likely have advice for guys even if they don't want to commit to full time, just keep in mind this conversation is about, well, crossplay, while I regard you as cosplay.

A slightly unrelated note on wigs - coloring your eyebrows the same color as the wig is good practice, especially with a striking difference as white to dark brown it can look somewhat off.

Do you really have to turn yourself into a girl(or a CRINGE drag queen for 99% of males without the right genetics ie westerners) for crossplaying?

What if you were a fit 5'8 manlet with a slender waist but wide shoulders/chest and a male face that's more on the neutral/slightly feminine side of the masculine meter.

If you're seriously looking to get into lolita, better do as >>9915929 says and get rid of everything aside from the shoes. Especially the dress, the hairbow, the collar, the fan and the peeking petti are a problem, making you look cheap and costumey.

Considering the things you are wearing, I assume that you are not dirt poor and have atleast a small budget to spend on lolita. It doesn't even require a huge budget to improve the coord.

- Instead of chosing a badly made replica from amazon, go to Lace Market instead. You can easily find decent sweet dresses for under 60$. Same goes for a decent matching hairbow and socks, costs you less than 15$ each.
- A good petticoat fitting for lolita dresses will cost you about 40-50$, which sounds quite expensive at first, but as a solid foundation for lolita fashion you will wear basically every time, it will serve you for years and relativate its high costs. Just make sure it will have the right length. A hand width shorter than your dress would be optimal.
- Ditch the tacky collar and look for a sweet necklace instead. Bracelets and hair accessories can be found on Lace Market, etsy, storenvy. Off-brand might work too sometimes, but again quality is the point that will make or break your look.

These things alone would change your looks so much more for the better and make you a more credible lolita.

Anyway, I hope you consider the critique given and improve further. You have a cute face and I could totally see you rocking the sweet lolita style. Just remember that you won't do yourself any favor if you are too stingy and don't take a second look on the quality of things.

Ita anon here.
Thanks for the general advice, the poster who complained about the concrit wasn't me.

Like one of the other anon pointed out, this wasn't really a lolita event - the striped socks and heart collar are both things that got their tacky reputation because they were overused in the past, but that isn't an issue in this context. There's a reason they ended up getting overused after all.

I'm 180cm, so I hoped to stretch the whole thing out a little by wearing the lower layer a little, well, lower.
The pretties starting to move up and down wasn't part of the plan, but pretty inevitable after a few hours of marching.

Anyway, this was more of a one time thing for me, but if I ever do decide on getting into the "actual fashion" I'll follow your advice. There are quite a few other smaller things that bothered me, which I didn't have time fixing, but I guess that's bound to happen the first time wearing something as complex as this.

If you're ever serious about getting into the fashion, I'd really encourage you to get to know the aesthetic better before taking the plunge. The choker and socks aren't tacky because they're overused, they're tacky because they don't fit with the lolita look and make you look like a weeb who got excited because he found something pastel at Hot Topic.

In a different outfit your other jewelry and clips would actually work decently well for lolita, but you kind of need to develop an eye for when certain types of accessories are appropriate.

Though if you're just into the general pastel kawaii look maybe fairy-kei/yumekawaii might be a better j-fashion fit for you.

It's me again. Sorry this turned into such a shit fest, but I still have good faith we can have a normal conversation after all that.
Specifically >>9916929, I didn't mean to blame you, it's just easier to just accept some criticism even if the tone is harsher than necessary. I'd rather attempt to bring the topic back to the thing itself than go deeper into the rabbit hole of meta discussion.

>>9916448
>>9916322
I did use makeup quite a few times before that, it's specifically the style that's new to me. I thought I had a pretty even skin tone before I applied eyes blush and lipstick - maybe the difference to the blushed areas makes it look more greyish?
Or because it's been a few hours in the first pic (this one was taken shorter after the application).
Contouring is still black magic to me, I have no idea how to make my chin less prominent with that.

>>9916963
Side by side comparison for you.
I felt like my passing was worse in that outfit than it's ever been before, but then also the biological girl who wore this with me (picture withheld) was asked a few times if she was a guy.
Could be because of me, could be because of the OTT, could be because we were at a LGBT event.

In all honesty I think you can pass very well, judging by the pic on the right. The coord you posted was just far from the best you can do, in all aspects of it, but it's good you started from something. You'd look stunning in classic but I think you can pull off sweet too, if you really like it, you just need to do more research on what constitutes a good lolita coord. From what I can see of your natural hair, you might not even need a wig for it.
There are many resources for beginners out there that you should check out if you haven't yet, both for dressing up and for buying good quality garments. Let me know if you need any links and I'll post some.

As stated, definitely do some more research. I've seen people start out worse and become really great or at least decent.

Look for a decent main piece. Never search "lolita dress" because you will almost always find disasters like what you are wearing. (I have some of these that I use in panels for teaching, can confirm they are projectile diarrhea tier). But honestly? an attempt was made. Just go from there.

- Dress is a classic cut, despite being made in bright ass pink. Blame that on factories in china who don't know wtf they are doing. You're going to want something with a gathered skirt and a bell-shaped petti for OTT. The bigger, the better.

- Cheerleader bows like the type you're wearing never look right with lolita. While piling a ton of crap on your head for OTT is desireable, you'll want to make sure the crap looks nice, not cheap. A few clips here and there are fine, but when everything is looking cheap it will cheapen the look.

- Ditch the accessories. If you go to anime conventions, I will pick up decent to excellent accessories in artist alley. Otherwise, Etsy is fine and a lot of good, reliable shops are there. But do your research. Ask if the shop or item is of proper taste if you haven't developed your eye yet. Otherwise, chocomint (through closetchild or second-hand) is fine. If you feel like dropping dough, look for brand accessories. Angelic Pretty's are the best for OTT but they can cost $30+ for a necklace. Chocomint will be your best bet.

- Makeup: I think a lot of times when guys go over to wearing makeup, they pick really odd colors. I wear OTT sweet and I don't think I've ever worn hot pink lips. I stick with soft bright pinks and maybe go with brighter colors on the eyes. I mean hot pink is totally doable, but I feel like guys often get their colors wrong. Definitely watch vids and learn about f to m contouring as well as picking colors to match your skintone.

Best of luck anon.

Don't be put off by that retarded troll above who thinks lolitas just start shit and are full of drama. Lolita is fun and great to wear but you'll have to put in work and research to learn the fashion and be open to concrit.

Lolita looks really really bad on men who don't even try. I don't mean to offend but your coord is kinda an incoherent mess and super weeby, complete with the taobao heart choker and stripe socks. It's really bad.

Lurk the lolita threads and look on second hand sites for pieces. You don't have to spend a ton of money, you just have to have a solid coord and wear makeup well.

I hope you consider continuing lolita and spend the time to learn the fashion.

Alright, I'd like to ask for some pointers regarding makeup. I've been using this makeup (pic related) for a while now and I've been wondering how could I improve it? I've been thinking maybe going with more intense and higher blush as I've seen several girls I know do it, but I'm not sure...

Also, disregard the brown smudge on the side of my nose, I think I fucked up my contouring that time.

You need to work on your eyeliner like other anon said. Your lines are way too smudged and unevenly-applied and the under-eye line looks dumb. Your eyebrows could also do with some more work, they look like they were drawn on with a pen. Also please seriously consider false lashes and a lip product of some sort.

A more intense blush is a probably a good idea down the road, but you reall need to get the basics down first.

Noted for the eyeliner. I do have fake eyelashes on on this. Maybe they're not long enough?

There's the glue stick method mentioned above, but I'm not a big fan of it.
I have no experience with stick-ons, but they seem to only work if you don't have any thicker brows beneath, either because they are naturally thinner than the ones you want to have or because, again, you did the glue stick thing.
Similarly, drawing them on can only make them thicker, however when girls pencil out their brows the purpose is mostly to define them more sharply, meaning you color our the area where you already have hair. What you pluck are just the stray hairs outside of that desired area, anything that looks like a patch of fur about your eyes just looks unkempt and thus more masculine.
I'd suggest penciling out your brows and then plucking those strays, if that is still above the level of what you trust yourself with, there are stores dedicated to this sort of thing - people might be a little surprised to see a man there, but in my experience the reactions are overwhelmingly positive for this sort of thing.

>>9927894
You treat the pad as though it was part of your body, so the upper bust (the number of the bra size) is taken with the pad, and the underbust just below it, naturally making the cup size (the letter in the bra size) bigger.
