Trying to ...Anonymous- Sorry for the late response! Trying to catch up all the comments and random internet stuffs!<br /><br />I have always dreamed of going to be a big convention. The atmosphere really is different. Every 5 feet there is another great costume that you must take a picture of. The guests are bigger and the dealer's room is so massive.<br /><br />XD But it was still a lot of work. If I lived closer I would go every year (closer being drivable as flying is really not my thing). I am lucky that Anime Weekend Atlanta is what I consider drivable. Is there a major convention near you? It seems most of the major conventions are on one coast or another. Hopefully one is near you. If not save save save! Despite the lines, hotel costs, and crazy big city streets I do recommend attending a DREAM convention at least once.<br /><br />Most of the people wearing the Japanese major brands seem to be rather tiny girls with no to little breasts. Anyone bigger than a size 6/ Cup A would look a lot bigger than they really were simply because the clothes don't have a lot of give.<br /><br />But at the fashion show I attended (there was another one with the Japanese brands but I didn't attend that one) the designers had a better variety of body types. A lot of tall girls and girls who weren't supermodel thin. But with the exception of the plus size model designer many of their fabric choices were plain. Nothing is wrong with that but compared to the bright colors of the Japanese designers the American brands would get lost in the crowd. Hopefully when more people break into the industry the fabrics will become more unique and colorful while being flattering to people taller than 5 feet tall and more than 110 pounds.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410807672363317056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785035130297400343.post-89341543582365926202011-08-04T16:11:12.484-04:002011-08-04T16:11:12.484-04:00Jealous of your trip!

Shame because the japanese fabrics are so great ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
