Soooo... I'm not able to fully start on my costumes because I'm trying to lose weight. Do you guys have any costume ideas that I can work on while I lose weight so I don't have to be stuck normal? :3

OMG IT'S WORKING HJIASDLAGDSFJOAGDSGSL

I still need to starch the pleats so they don't poof out so much but HOLY CRAP THIS FINALLY LOOKS DECENT. 4th time is a charm apparently. I think this will be done by tomorrow, just need to starch, put in the zipper, and add the waist band and clasp. Oh god, I am excited :>

I posted this in the wig section but maybe I can get more advice over here too...

I am looking at making 5 costumes from scratch this year (my 4 plus I have to
make the Soubi from Loveless costume for my guyfriend cause he agreed to wear
it if I did) including styling all the wigs... it's pretty daunting to a first time cos-maker...
So I am in that stage now where in my planning I'm looking to cut corners...

I found a wig thats pre-cut and styled for Sakura... would it be too terrible if I paid the
extra $15 or so bucks and just bought a pre-made wig... or should I stop complaining
and just style the wig myself?

~Allykat

I think that wig is pretty good looking, if you don't want to style it then buy that one. Any wig you do get for her would requite cutting and then you run the risk of ruining the wig >_>;

I think thats a good point, and that is why I am going to go for it! To Heckles with doing EVERYTHING
myself! I deserve to treat myself to a pre-made item now and then! woot!

P.S. Update: Monday is going to rock! I am going to be heading out with my brand spanking new paycheck
to go buy fun stuff for my costumes! Yay Fabric Depot!!!

I am going to have to get a wig for Larxene because I just dyed my hair brown. The blond was damaging it too much.

I starched my pleats today! I didn't get much else done though, haha. I wanna finish the skirt tomorrow.

In other news, Mei Long and I want to do Gijinka versions of the main Digimon from season two now (my other friend named them Diginka). I started designing Veemon, I think it will be cute (And it would be the first time I'd be truely crossplaying. I'd do it for Veemon because I <3 him). I'm probably going to try to push cosplays out of the way now so I can make it sooner though D:
I LOVE DIGIMON SO MUCH MORE THEN POKEMON BAWW

I love Digiman for the show and Poke'man for the games, THEY ARE BOTH IN MY HEART <3

I added a cosplay to my list, I think I'll be doing Madam Red now for Sakuracon.

Not much progress because I don't have any money to buy supplies/materials

Yeppy, I got my xmas outfit for Zatsune Miku on it's way. My Ranka wig for Sakuracon. and my Zatsune Miku headset! ^^

Need to get her wig now so I'll have it in time for the xmas party. I just have to wait until my next paycheck. ^^: I already found where I want to get my Zatsune outfit from, and my Ranka boots and outfits and shoes, and my Anna outfit. I just need to loose a bit more weight so I can send proper measurments. Need to find someone to make my Zev Bellringer outfit and wig for Mewcon. And need to get a wig to bring to a saloon for Anna. But I already have my Tank Girl outfit for Mewcon and I can make my acctualy hair look like hers okay too. Hieda, for Kcon, is one I am having a problem with. Only outfit I seen done that is buyable was not made right, she has a shirt (forgot the proper name for it) and a vesty thing over it and the one I saw was all one top, not two pieces. and Myao (for Sakuracon) is hard to since the anime she is from is not popular.

I'm glad someone esle moves at the same pace as me XD. I just finally put all my cosplay goodness away!

I need to find a good reference pic of Marie's weapon form because even though Sakuracon isn't for a lonnnggg time my dad still wants to get started on sketching out my prop (he's so excited about building something it's ridiculous...)

oAo pretty!

Allen's jacket is taking longer than I thought...I am almost done with the collar part. Tomorrow, I'm gonna sew on the sleeves and make the bottom part. I'll post progress pics later...I also found a great wig for him. I'm gonnna get it in a few weeks.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #225 on:** October 05, 2009, 11:31:31 pm »

Ordered my wig, belt, and shoes for Lammy tonight and ordered gloves for Cassandra.

I want to go to American Apparel tomorrow and get my shirt for Lammy but we will see how the day pans out~

Well, after spending waaay waay too much money on my Harley Quinn costume....

I did manage to buy 1 piece of my costume for Ritsuka! (not that it's even an important
piece...)

I managed to find a really good collar with an attachment for a chain, just need to find the
chain and then I can be kinda like... mid-battle ritsuka, I want my Soubi to be able to kinda
hold the chain for cute photo ops! (He already loves the choker!) ^_^

Ok, I shall go looking for a wig on the Internets today for N. Italy. Wish me luck!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #228 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:59:35 am »

Well I just got scouted to be in a Gym Leader group from Pokemon for AX this next year so I've also got that to add to my plate now. Hmmm, I'm currently thinking about how to go about doing both the wig and her psychic channeling bracelet doohickies. The rest of the costume is cake but those are giving me some problems in my head.

Hair: You see, in game her hair is crazier looking (bottom picture). I'm not sure if I should go for a more natural looking style (which would just be easier imo) or try to get that CRAZY FLIP she has going.

Bracers: I think it would be COMPLETELY EXCELLENT AND AWESOME if my bracers lit up.....I just have no idea how to go about that. I know there's LED reflective tape and stuff...or maybe circuitry? I dunno. Has anyone worked with this stuff?

In more current cosplay news, I'm cleaning my house. Which means on Thursday I can start sewing again. I really hope to finish my skirt and start on my shirt. Maybe even start fixed my shield at this point. I'm also going to go to American Apparel after I get my wig so I can choose out a shirt.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #229 on:** October 07, 2009, 09:40:03 am »

Not too sure about the bracelet but I think the wig should look like the top picture. I think it looks really cool there as compared to the bottom one.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #230 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:32:07 pm »

I'm thinking so too Nikki even though it's a little less accurate. It also would make my work MUCH easier. FFFFF- I even just decided what wig to get for it. This costume is going to be a piece of cake. Now just to wait 6ish months

NightLotus · « **Reply #231 on:** October 07, 2009, 12:55:11 pm »

I just ordered my Silk Spectre II Gloves, and just need a little help with what latex to order and I'll be on my way with Silk!
I have my Luca wig and got my awesome hairdresser to cut it for me, and have the plans for the rest of her outfit drawn up!
so next years cosplays are probably at a 5% done right now

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #232 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:31:41 pm »

Got my Lammy wig today :DDDDDD I'm super excited, this is the first not blonde wig I've gotten in a very very long time. Also I put it on and got excited. I brushed it a moment ago and it doesn't look so messy~ Ha ha.

SO EXCITED TO START ON THIS NOW.

Roddy Manic · « **Reply #233 on:** October 11, 2009, 01:41:57 am »

After I paid bills, I had enough for it so I just bought my Zatsune wig today. ^^ I'm excited!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #234 on:** October 11, 2009, 09:25:36 am »

Recived my belt for Lammy! All I need is her shoes now. I'm going out to buy her shirt next week since I'll have the time after class (and I have a wig to match it now) I'm thinking about what I should do with the decal on her shirt, hand paint it or get it put on a shirt by a professional. I know there are some screen painting places that will just do one screen print without having you buy the whole screen but I'm not sure what place in Portland would do that. I'd like to wear the shirt for more then just cosplay so it's what I would rather do? If anyone has a place they'd recommend I'd appreciate it.

Also got the gloves I ordered for Cassandra... THEY DON'T WORK. Returning them this week sometime. I think I'm stuck with trying to sew my own pair of gloves now. This is gonna suuuuuuuck. Don't think I'm going to be able to finish Cassandra in time for Akicon (PUSHED BACK AGAIN WTF 3 CONS NOW) My new housing situation is proving to be....difficult. Looking for apartments right before a con with school and work is just not working for me D: I'm still going to be working on it, I hope to finish it before my school quarter is done so I can start work on Lady Ky over Christmas break :> For now I think I'll focus on Lammy and make Nightie Bridget before then too.

nyahaha · « **Reply #235 on:** October 11, 2009, 10:27:46 am »

At joanns and Michaels, they have these special paper things that you can print a design on, then iron it onto a shirt. I used them for Rhyme's shirt design. You need an Inkjet printer though.

yesh, I looked at clip ons, but I'll have a wig and I'm kinda wanting to sew them straight onto
the wig mat for extra security... I guess I'm just gonna have to find some good material and
make them because all the ones you can buy are not the right shape/size...

mraw... I just want me some REALISTIC cat ears!

I was working on my Lammy costume on Friday. I'm almost done with painting the shirt and making the watch! I also finished painting my shoes. I'm hoping when I get home tonight I can finish those up after I do my homework. My mom also gave me $125 to go buy new pants so I can get a pair of jeans to match that costume as well.

As for me...I hope to start on Lust's dress today or Rin's (F/S N) Shirt.
I hope to maybe get my Duct Tape form done today, too so I can use an actual body instead of a table and guestimations.
