...Why would that be $890?

uh-oh hotdog

>>1920366
excellent

Fur isn't the right color, flower trim looks terribly unfinished, and the black cloth behind the belts is way too noticable -_- Just off the top of my head, I;m sure I could name more inaccuracies if I studied it.

The more of Limebarb's stuff I see, the more I wonder why people commission her.

The fur is too flat and innacurate, and the belts would look better as real belts. I wouldn't pay.

Y'know, I read this girl's review of her experience with LimeBarb, and while I don't see that costume as being worth that much money, she seemed to be quite pleased with her costume. I don't see what else there is to discuss.

>>1920376
This thread isn't about what she thinks.

>>1920378

I honestly though it was bobby lee

For $890 I expect an $800 bill on it.

>>1920378
Yeah. Its a thread to rip on her for paying a crapton of money for a costume /cgl/ doesnt think is good enough for that money and to rip on LimeBarb for making a shit costume and charging out the ass.
Oh god, so original.

>>1920385
Yeah, that's about right.

>>1920381
I lol'd.

>>1920371
The sleeves also look too short.

oh hello shit-ton-of-doodled-flowers-on-white-cardboard-then-stuck-to-hem-with-tape!

For a thousand dollar costume, I expect at the very least some REAL belts.

>>1920376
This. Who cares, she likes it and thought it was worth the money, so good for her. A satisfied customer. I probably would've raged if that's what I got, but its not my costume and I didn't pay a dime for it, so it's all good.

>>1920441
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Just because someone is content with being swindled doesn't mean it's okay to get swindled. It just means the person in question is a moron and doesn't know what costumes go for.

No one gives a shit if some brain dead asian woman was happy getting shat on. Thank you for being equally brain dead by completely missing the point.

Oh no. Oh, Hell no.

Inaccuracy at 900? I can make an accurate one for 200 tops. I just won't because I don't have the bodacious bewbs.

>>1920460
Hey, if she wants to be that blind and spend a little over 900 for it, then that's all on her. Everyone else can sit back and laugh at how much of an idiot she is for spending it and Limebarb can laugh her way to the bank.

Corset looks good but WTF Embroidery?

>>1920460

You ever think she might have asked Barb to do the costume a specific way before you started talking shit? I have no idea if that's what she did or not, but you faggots are way to quick to judge shit without knowing dick about it.

>>1920441
Ok? I don't give a shit if someone paid for it or not. Fact is it's a shitty, shitty costume, and Limebarb has shit for construction skills.

>>1920488

"I specifically requested that the costume be made of pleather, the edges of the floral design be embroidered, and the corset be as real as possible. I also originally wanted metal belt buckles for the front of the dress but she advised me that this would make the dress very heavy. I trusted her professional opinion and appreciated her feedback."

The thing is. She could of probably gone to someone like God Save the Queen Fashions, paid the same amount and gotten a hundred times better quality and accurate costume. Sure the points of Lulu are all there but they are done pretty damn poorly.
While I agree that it's probably not our business to rip on the woman, it's acceptable to be pissed at Limebarb because there are others out there who could have done much better with that sum of money. How much are real belts at a thrift store or Salvation Army?
Really, there's no excuse.

>>1920509
Real belts would be too heavy, GOD, don't you know anything?

srsly tho, IAWTC.

>>1920500
>she advised me that this would make the dress very heavy
Bull, my sister's dress had all real belts with no sagging. But then again she's kind of a domestic goddess and OCD. Come to think of it, she should start selling costumes.

>>1920509
99 cent belts at Goodwill went a long way.

>>1920500
> I also originally wanted metal belt buckles for the front of the dress but she advised me that this would make the dress very heavy

..That kind of makes me mad.
I'm sure that partially true, but when you're going for a costume like Lulu's you should be able to put up with a little extra weight. Also, it kind of feels like Limebarb didn't want to deal with metal buckles so she talked the commissioner out of it by making a negative assumption.

>>1920510
Yes, I do. Do you?
See >>1920516 and deal with it, lazy ass.

>Yes, I do. Do you?
See >>1920516 and deal with it, lazy ass.

Disregard that, I suck cocks.

>>1920520
I feel the same way.. it wouldn't be so bad if it had real belts and buckles.

I'm currently almost done with making my Lulu costume, and of course I looked up other cosplayer's Lulus.
most cosplay sites have their Lulu costumes as their most expensive at about 550$
so I really don't see that much upset about the price of a self made one, but daaayuum, that's one ugly OP dress.
at least with <----this dress, you get accurate sleeve length and a better floral trim. OP's looks like grade schoolers attacked it with markers

and I used real belts (from hell yeah Goodwill) and yeah they're heavy, but like any real dress I can just pick it up and carry it.

>>1920984
Real belts are the way to go.

$890 for that?

I wish I had that sort of money to piss away

>>1920500
Give me a fucking break. My friend cosplayed a slightly less crappy Lulu cosplay and her belts were real leather belts with real metal buckles of all different sizes and weights. She had no trouble getting around. This Limebarb bitch sounds like they were cutting a LOT of corners and didn't feel like putting in the effort to make it it more accurate to the character.

She could of looked up some online tutorials on how belts are made. I'm all good for hand making everything, but they could of looked like belts with the right research.

Even SetsunaKou's Lulu looks better. What does this tell you??

>>Some of the buckles on the dress were coming off when I got the costume. It was pretty easy gluing them back together. The dress was a little big around the waist but that was hidden underneath the corset anyway. The cord that she included for the corset was not long enough to tie it up so I had to buy an additional cord on my own. The bangs for the wig were a little short and pushed back for Lulu. I plan to improve it before I wear the costume again. But that's pretty much the end of my complaints.


as far as I can tell, this chick is just too nice. She should of given her a bad review, not just a "hey, um I dunno, its alright I guess". For that price, she should of got something of excellent quality. Its because of people who are too nice that rip off merchants like Limebarbs's "business's" are still alive

fuck and shit, I'd die happy if I got that much money for making crap like that. now I'm pissed off. maybe I should start doing commissions.

This thread needs more Lulu costumes, with superior belt skirts, because there is no doubt that Limebarb's is fail.

>>1921061
She's either very new to cosplaying or is just that nice. IMPO you shouldn't have to "improve" an $800 commissioned cosplay.

Jesus. Makes me rage. I wanna commission a Lulu from GStQ, keep the price at $900, then email Limebarb and say "So, what was your excuse for producing such crap instead of something like this?"

>>1921073

Do it.

>>1921072
>>superior
Image unrelated.

It still ceases to amaze me why people still comission from barb. I mean, the other costumes are complete crap as well. In most of the photos, she hasn't even bothered to iron it, so all the seams look way more puckered and the garment is all wrinkly and shit.

The costumes, most of the time, have poor fabric choices amd emd up looking cheap

FOr what she charges, I'd expect alot more than what she actually produces. She has designer prices for very mediocre sewing.

As far as I can tell, shes a pretty shitty seamstress. The "clothes" in the premade shop are fucking terrible. Her "EGL" and corsets are probably the worst. She likes to cut corners

people really need to stop buying from her. That way, she would learn that you can't just produce and piece of shit because you're all "exclusive"

>>1921073
aznaphrodite isn't new to the scene at all. She's been around I think longer than I have. I'm guessing she's just that nice.

>>1920379

I thought the same thing. So when is Bobby "Lulu" gonna drive up in his tricked out Daewoo?
