How do you make a really good cat cosplay costume?
« on: May 27, 2009, 11:05:32 am »
I really am in a fix because I want to make an awesome costume for Kumoricon. I already have some of the costume ready, but for the outfit I am at a total loss. I really would love the imput and help.

A picture would help a lot because I am not sure what you are trying to do. Do you want a body suit, casual clothes, dress?

I just want something like in loveless. (If you have ever read the series.) You know a simple costume like Natsuo's. I also have to work on finding something to do for the bandages on there.

*looks over at my avatar* <_< nope never read it XD

You still need to be more specific, that doesn't tell me what you want. I would say a shirt jeans an some jacket with fur on it.

I guess casual clothes would be the best. If you look at my avatar the character on the far right is Natsuo. She has bandages on her wrists and an eye patch over her right eye. I also am lost on how to make a good tail.

*sigh* my avatar is Youji, I am familiar with the series. I have read all of it so far.

find a picture you like and go off of that. Thats my best suggestion

http://th02.deviantart.com/fs44/300W/f/2009/108/f/f/youji_x_natsuo_by_XERISTAR.jpg

All those outfits would work, I personally like the first one the best.

thanks, I agree with the first picture. I think that I can do that cosplay easily. I just am still having trouble. Do you have any ideas of what kind of material I should use for the bandages? I tried ribbon last year but it just wouldn't stay on no matter what I did.

I would just go with a basic cotton. That would be the easiest. Or you can make it more realistic and get gauze.

I made one for Natsuo but it wasn't the best thing in the world. The one I did for Youji was just a black store bought one with the green fabric over it so it was the right color.

Okay, I am going to try and go to my fabric store this weekend and hopefully they will have some material and heavy duty wire that I can use. Thanks for all your help.

I was thinking of doing that, but I thought that I would have more fun of cosplaying one of my favorite characters.
