You can find me as LadyCels on IG, Tumblr, FB, and 🧵 If you would like to continue to follow my work.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

Heads up. I've been slowly working on following mutuals on other platforms, with the goal of getting away from here. I'll likely be stopping crossing posting here soon.

I value the friends I've made here, but it's just so toxic.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@viciouscosplay But yeah, my big question is why this is the way to make this announcement. It's PR, you don't have to reinvent the wheel by doing a video for what should be a simple statement. Like.... why?

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@viciouscosplay They issued the $5 discount on shipping two days ago with no explanation. Until today 🙃

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@xLunaNightmare @Katsucon I got mine issued two days ago with no explanation, until today, and now we know.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@xLunaNightmare @Katsucon Tixr issued a $5 refund for the shipping cost difference. I don't think the coupon code though can be applied retroactively.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@Katsucon I mean, a simple press release would work just fine (In legible format). No need to to reinvent the wheel when it comes to PR.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@Katsucon You may want to remove "all fees included" since shipping is a fee (and not included).

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@xGabbyNu Also holy hell. You say that phrase and alllll the bots crawl out of the woodwork.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@xGabbyNu Peace out to their respective sugar daddy sponsored retreats too -_-.

@mirascarletcos It's definitely my favorite way to line up darts. By no means is this the only way, I just find it easier to line up my lines.

This, plus tying my thread rather than back stitching at the dart apex are my two main tools to create clean darts.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@somanyjets Great points! Also: think about how you'll get your costume on/off by yourself. Especially important when planning for the bathroom!

@paprikasegg No, the camera angle is hiding it XD It'd be amazing if it could.

I removed that basting seam after I stitched it down by hand.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@HoneyFroCosplay It's a foam and worbla base, and then rhinestones glued one by one. I call it the discoball arrow 🤭

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@anxiety_fox A mantra I have that helps a lot (As helps tasks from piling up) is 'Don't put it down, put it away'.

Too often I'll put something down, and forget about it. And it adds up until I have a lot to clean up. So I now try and put things back in their home/spot right after use.

@sumikins idk if it's different now. But I recall Dior being particularly prone to lawsuits for little things. I'm sure after knowing the manga was able to get away with it not being a physical garment, they weren't taking a chance.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@sumikins Like I said, my guess is they may have tried to go so far from the original so as to not draw attention from Dior.

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@sumikins Correction: Called the Palladium Dress (It's inspired by columns).

[Lady Cels @LadyCels]

@sumikins My one guess is it may have been to avoid a copyright complaint. The iconic dress is a well known Dior dress, Palladio (https://t.co/cTBTMYiyIo) The mangaka was well known for using high fashion designs for Sailor Moon, but I'm sure for a live action it made it tricky.
