I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who cosplays, right?
Share your costumes, plans for costumes, and costume-making tips here!
I've already posted these photos on Nipplechat, but here they are again, my Ashe (FFXII) cosplay (completed May 2010). :3
(my skirt was a bit messed up in this one, whoops. That's why it looks so weird and squarish. Also ahaha my dog.)
This was my hardest cosplay to make. I spent months on it. My parents and grandmother did a lot of the sewing because I don't know how to use a sewing machine, but I made the armour (fun foam! Who knew?) and did all the painting.
The downside was that the leg armour made it hard to move, and was very delicate. It was hot glued to the tights (in hindsight, I really should have sewn them to thicker tights). I only wore the cosplay to one con because it was so bulky and difficult to move in.
I've also lost weight since last year, so I know that at least the black part around the middle doesn't fit me anymore. XD
Also, these are my hand-sewn Pikachu ears, which I made myself. Pikachu is my backup cosplay, I paint red circles on my cheeks, wear these ears, and throw on yellow, brown, and black clothing.
My first cosplay for a con was Misa Amane from Death Note. XD It wasn't very good.
Aside from Ashe and Pikachu, I've also cosplayed Tetra from Legend of Zelda: Windwaker. It was my quickest cosplay; I put it together in less than an hour, not counting the waist sash that I didn't have fabric for and had to buy some. The pants and tank top were the wrong colours (beige instead of white and turquoise instead of purple), but it was pretty good for under an hour and I felt cute. >w<
The next cosplay I'm planning on making is Liechtenstein from Hetalia (red dress version). :3 My mom's actually letting me cut up her wedding crinoline for that. ("It's the wedding dress itself that I want to keep," she says. "Why waste that much crinoline?")
I also need to do something with the SF-A2 miki (Vocaloid) wig I have, since it was a gift and it's expensive. >w< I was going to cosplay SF-A2 miki for Anime North this year but never got it done.
Another cosplay I want to do is Fionna, the genderbent version of Finn from Adventure Time.

) The skirt looks funny because I don't have a stand for the mannequin... So it's propped up on boxes. Which is okay for my other ones because the petticoats go out beyond the edges of the boxes, but not this one. XD
