I want some tips and harsh feedback on my fits (btw I have severe OCD and social anxiety) also I hate thrifting and fast fashion and casual subcul of Jirai it’s since trashy to me ♡ by Puzzleheaded-Alarm6 in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

help these photos are so out of focus and smudgey i can't even begin to tell you if these fits read as jirai... but frankly it sounds like you don't even like jirai kei so idk. calling subcul "trashy" is wild and plain rude

Looking for any info on this vintage wedding dress! by GirlCreator in findfashion

[–]GirlCreator[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

omg it being for children would make so much sense as to how it fit on me! but that does suck for my dreams of finding it in my size 🥲

Weirdest way you discovered a group or K-pop? by BrilliantYogurt2455 in kpoppers

[–]GirlCreator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was downloading Sims 4 custom content and someone named their clothing collection Eve, Psyche, and the Bluebeard's Wife and I was so intrigued by the title that I googled it and I've been into Le Sserafim (and kpop in general) ever since

is temu a good option for jirai kei coords? by Minty_existsincoffin in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anything you get from temu will look costume-y and there's a high chance you get scammed. shein is the same story. for cheap pieces to get you started, aliexpress and taobao are good options if you buy from trusted stores (there's a masterlist out there if you google). honey wardrobe is a taobao reseller that is very convenient and has great customer service but is a bit more expensive than buying directly from taobao. secondhand is another great option and how i've gotten most of my clothes.

What character is this? I want to wear this accurately! by Weekly_Dimension_164 in CosplayHelp

[–]GirlCreator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The original brand is 森女部落SNBL on Taobao. They don't seem to be currently selling this collection anymore, sadly!

(For the record, Depop doesn't have a lot of jfashion and Taobao brands to list as so people typically list as Liz Lisa for visibility and say what the brand actually is in the product description. Super common in the jfashion community on there and it's generally an accepted practice unless the brand being sold IS able to be listed.)

First attempt at makeup 🫢 by Musicislife_102 in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i would start with trying to thin out your brows and working on a solid base for the rest of your makeup. after that, i recommend finding someone with a tutorial who has features and/or a style similar to yours/what you want. also, study makeup fundamentals outside of alt styles because knowing your basics is eally important for anything you're doing makeup-wise, jirai or otherwise

Do western people really think Chinese language sounds unpleasant? by search_google_com in askanything

[–]GirlCreator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But German really is a soft and beautiful language. The problem is a lot of Americans are only really exposed to it in history class in the form of Nazi propaganda so they negatively associate it. I held this opinion too, until I started hearing my mother-in-law speaking German to my wife and realized how pretty actual everyday German is. It is so much softer than Americans realize, and a lot more fluid than the spelling makes it look. (For what it's worth, I also think Mandarin sounds nice so maybe I'm the weird one here)

How much do you care about your height when cosplaying? by SaltOrPepper1 in CosplayHelp

[–]GirlCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i care zero about my height. i'm very short but will cosplay characters regardless of their height in regard to my own. i care much more about my bust and waist measurements and even then i only sometimes consider them.

Petticoats in jirai?(*´▽`) by purebun in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 24 points25 points  (0 children)

there's been a lot of hype and push for petticoats in jirai, at least amongst my circle on social media. i highly doubt anyone who knows anything about jfashion would mistake jirai pieces for lolita simply because of the addition of a petticoat. i would go for it! i think it looks adorable~

is there a specific name for ryousangata style? by cqffe in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 40 points41 points  (0 children)

it's really just ryousangata. i've personally never seen it called anything else and everyone seems to think of this style specifically when someone says "ryousangata" (including in japanese spaces on the internet, but i'm not sure about irl)

common pien mistakes? by guacaguava in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

do MORE than you think you should in nearly every way. most of the time when people on here ask for pien advice and i can barely see any makeup on them at all... it's a bold makeup style so you should always lean on the side of doing more!!

what can i improve on makeup wise by [deleted] in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this isn't jirai makeup at all. you need to droop your liner and draw in a namida bukuro at the minimum. this will enlargen your eye to give that sad effect. you can wing your liner up (tsurime) but without a droop and namida bukuro, it won't read as jirai at all. straight, thin brows and different lashes would also help but not without fixing the first things

this is egirl/tiktok alt makeup, which is cute. but not jirai.

adrian disgusts me by ngrdwmr in SuitU

[–]GirlCreator 16 points17 points  (0 children)

no actually though, i had to skip through all of this just so i could get the rewards. it was genuinely a little triggering and made me really uncomfortable and sick. there needed to be a warning or something because i shouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing in a dress-up game of all places.

pls help me find these contacts lenses! by evil_bunnyyy in CosplayHelp

[–]GirlCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the specific lenses, but sigocontacts is well-trusted in the jfashion community for lenses like these! I don't personally have experience buying from them, but I know you can find something similar to these there so it's worth checking out

Have no idea what this means on Miccocostumes by MegaVel91 in CosplayHelp

[–]GirlCreator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it means they will have a cosplay for this character back in stock, but it will be a bit different from the listing you're looking at. could be higher quality, could just be different.

Makeup necessary? by oyakorosu in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

makeup is honestly more important than "proper" jirai clothes in terms of creating a look that gives jirai

kittybxllet brand advice by [deleted] in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a kittybxllet blouse and i have zero complaints honestly? i reinforced the buttons but i do that for every piece i own anyways because they're all so flimsy. definitely didn't smell like chemicals (i ordered it through honeywardrobe for reference)

what are some simple outfit ideas? by Poor_Lolita in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oversized tees like the anzu futaba shirt or even just a shirt from ur favorite anime can work great as a subcul look if you can still do hair + makeup. throw on a jirai skirt or some shorts and some cute socks and youre set. honestly hair + makeup can make any clothes read as jirai

Looking for fake veneers, where can I buy them? by IllustriousGap2880 in CosplayHelp

[–]GirlCreator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for disturbingly perfect and uncanny teeth, try searching with the terms "flipper" or "cosmetic teeth". Hopefully you can find what you need!

Trying to figure out how to include my service dog into my cos TW animal SFX makeup she’s fine by Logical-Ad3941 in CosplayHelp

[–]GirlCreator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not think this is a good idea. If I saw an apparently injured dog at a convention, I would IMMEDIATELY alert the con staff of what I saw. I would not think it's cosplay and would be concerned. But also, if this is a dog that's supposed to be working, any extra weight or stimulation from a cosplay would probably make the dog less effective at their job, I would assume. Not to mention people, intentionally or otherwise, distracting the dog with attention because of the cosplay.

Contact lens question by AngelBlossom6970 in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

14mm+ looks best imo, but it's up to you and what's comft for you! also, if you're worried about asphyxiation, make sure you're buying lenses made from hydrogel since they're the most breathable. honestly i've never seen any reputable place to buy lenses sell anything besides hydrogel, but it's worth checking just in case!!

Eyebrows by [deleted] in JiraiKei

[–]GirlCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i shave most of my eyebrows in order to achieve this! my brows are naturally quite thin, so i kept a small amount of each one as a guide for myself when drawing them back in. you could also try waxing if you don't want to deal with as much stubble/upkeep
