How to Decide on a Cosplay | Advice

How to Decide on a Cosplay | Advice

Hello everybody, today I will be talking about how to decide on a cosplay.
Deciding these things can be very hard, the wrong choice can be regretful.

Look at your resources.


My Edward Elric coat.

Take a look at your fabric, wigs, and other supplies. What can you make NOW? Or what do you have ready? 
Yes, you can buy more supplies. But, if the convention is near. Or, if you're like me and spent all your money on the tickets. They can be expensive and hard to get. 

Take a look at the panels.
Same coat, but refurbished for Keith.
Maybe you'd like to be part of a cosplay panel and you can make a costume for it.
Or, there's a panel with voice actors from your favorite series you'd like to cosplay at.


Think about your deadline and current interests. 
You may like your Voltron cosplay, but be really into Undertale at the time and go as Undyne.
Go in a cosplay that you will be excited about and happy to act as

Consider all your options in this order before committing to anything.

Ask your friends.

Ask them their opinions.
Sometimes, looking like the character is a good thing to take advantage of.
No matter who you are, you can cosplay whatever you want. However, looking like the character can save some money and time with makeup and wigs.

See what they're going as, or if anyone online is going as something from the same series.
If you ask around, you can see what your friends are going to cosplay as if they are at a convention with you. 
Looking on the Facebook page or website forums to see if others are planning a group or posting their cosplay plans. Maybe you can take pictures together or do a panel!

Caution: Be safe and never tell anyone personal information. 

Thank you for reading my quick post! Keep cosplaying!

Kagamine Rin! | New Cosplay!

Kagamine Rin! | New Cosplay Hey, guys! It's Julia! Today I wanted to show you guys a new cosplay I'm working on!  I had attempted this in the past with my.... old cosplay blog. Let's just say, this one is going a LOT better than before. While of course, it's not perfect, it's pretty good for my skill level. If you guys do not know who Kagamine Rin is, she is a Vocaloid. Her first name is Rin, her last name is Kagamine. (Yknow, in Japan they say the last name first unless you're friends.) As you can see, I am not done with it at all. I have the ribbon, collar, and trim done. The collar is uneven, as you can see from the leaning on the back. It looks better once I put it on, but I still plan to fix it. The ribbon curves in intentionally to remove the flat look. I think it makes it look like leaves! The trim on the bottom was made with felt. I do not recommend doing this, but I fixed it. It made the bottom fan out and stick stra
