/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

What would you like to see in a lolita subreddit?

>verification process: only lolitas who actually wear the fashion are allowed to view, post, and comment. Go to reddit.com/r/elegantgothiclolita and request to join/message the mods or email me with your Reddit username and a picture of yourself in a coord.
>user flairs to show your preferred substyle
>post flairs: coord, coord help (worn requests go here), news/new release, question, discussion, DIY/handmade, event, drama, review, mail, print (so we can organise and archive picrel type images)
>megathreads for stupid questions and dream dress hunting that will last 6 months before expiring
>a wiki of useful links that won't expire ever

Ideally I'd like to amass a lot of coords and reviews of various brands so that the subreddit can act as an archive of cgl, like warosu if it ever goes down.

What does your ideal lolita event look like?
Is it a tea party like brands host? A convention like Rufflecon? Something similar to the large events in Europe?

What is the best event or meet up you have been to personally?

I feel like a see people complain a lot about the quality of lolita events and I wonder what people are actually looking for.

Do you care if it is combined with anime or other J-fashion events?

We haven't had one of these in a long, long time. Post ideas for meetups, about your favourite type of meetup activity, what has worked well in your comm, and what hasn't. Any croquet success stories or pottery meet horrors?

Also, for those who have organised swap meets, how did you put them together? Our comm has never had one, but there's an issue of where to hold one. Should garments be laid out or just brought in bags? What works best with a swap meet?
