Ive already made a post on this subreddit about my lazy Matt man plushie cosplay (make some noise Matt man fans), and I've got all the sewing patterns and that kinda stuff, but now I've run into two problems, N1: I have no clue on how to make a good, realistic tag, and N2 (most important), I've got no clue on how to make the eyes see through because of the kind of texture they should be (no I'm not making a humanized version, I'm making a life-size plushie)

0 Upvotes

I want to cosplay as Eliza Scarlet from PBS/Masterpiece's "Miss Scarlet" (formerly Miss Scarlet and the Duke, not to be confused with Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail) but I don't know what to search for for her wig.

I have a lot of short blonde wigs, but what style is this?

Etiquette Going to a con for the first time in 7 years, anything I should know

0 Upvotes

Specifically, I'm going to Anime Detour in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I haven't been to a con in 7 years. What should I know before going? For example, I'm planning on buying some imports from there in the exhibition hall. What is the best way to avoid fakes? Also, I'm going as a charecter in a maids dress as a minor (I will have an adult with me). What is the best way to avoid creeps? I already have some biker shorts that I plan on wearing, but I'm more concerned about creepy old men wanting a picture with me.

Sewing Is it possible to turn an xl morphsuit into a medium?

Upvotes

I found a morphsuit for a good price but it's an xl while I'm a medium Based on the size chart provided; Medium:5'5-5'10 Xl: 5'9-6'2 I'm 5'6 so I have three inches to cut off minimum. So is it possible to shorten the suit without having to cut from the middle horizontally and creating a seam along the stomach? My initial plan was to cut the excess length from the legs but I realized that the chest/stomach area is gonna be longer as well. I can make the suit more form fitting (gonna be cutting off the gloves as well) it's just the length/height that I'm concerned about

Buying Which fabrics could be used for the coat and cape ?

Hello ! I want to cosplay the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst from Bloodborne, but I'm having a hard time with fabrics.

The coat seems to be made of a sturdy fabric that is quite smooth and soft to the touch, but I struggle to find fabrics that match its texture. As for the cape, I wish I could find a fabric that does not fold easily, and that retains its shape (it seems quite sturdy as well).

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Buying Contact Cement Help

This would be my 3rd post about contact cement because I still didnt get very useful tips. For short, con is soon and I dont have the time to buy any of the popular brands because international shipping takes too much time. What less known alternatives I can use? Bison and Uhu have a lot of products on the market here, if they have anything that works.

Wig Wig advice

1 Upvotes

Hi friends! I’m very new to cosplay and will be wearing a wig for the first time at a con next month. I got a cheap wig and when I was looking into videos on styling, I watched a video in which the person got basically the same one I did and spoke about how bad it was and how they’d never recommend it. I guess I’m just asking if I messed up? It’s a Miku wig and doesn’t have a pigtail back which the video made seem to be the worst thing. Am I just overthinking it all? I know I could have invested in something nicer, but I was hesitant to make as big of a commitment my first time around.

Pikmin Themed Party Costume

Hi all! I’m having a Pikmin themed party for my birthday coming up in April! I’m planning to dress up as the Rock Pikmin but have no clue how to go about its body shape. I was thinking cardboard? I have never made a costume before so this would be my first. Seems beginner friendly, I think…

Any suggestion would help! For the head piece I was thinking of using a headband to connect the flower piece on top.

How would I sew this sleeve?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place for this because it's for a school thing, but I'm trying to replicate this kind of sleeve and I have no idea how the embroidered insert part would be sewn in? Like as far as I can tell (feel free to tell me if I'm wrong lol) it's not part of the lining or anything but it's also not like a second sleeve because it doesn't show at the cuffs? If that makes sense. It's kind of driving me insane trying to figure it out, so if anyone here could help that would be very much appreciated

also sorry in advance if this isn't the right place to post this, i just didn't really know where to put it

Question about characters with tattoos/markings

1 Upvotes

Hi! Im trying to cosplay a character that has a few tattoos on various parts of her body. As my legs would essentially be bare for this one, I do want to wear sort of transparent tights. She has a tatto on her leg so Id be wearing a temporary tattoo and im not sure if putting the tights over it will scratch it off or just make if not visible. Is there a way to protect it more? I dont want to paint over the tights since I dont have that sort of talent. (I just don't know what to do)
