Costume Troubles
« on: August 13, 2010, 06:35:31 am »
Anyone else having last minute costume troubles? I just found out a costume I ordered 2 months ago is still not ready and will not be ready before kumoricon :(. And I was looking forward to wearing Suzaku's Knight of Zero costume.

Arda Wigs won't ship my wig ;~; The wig I need for my costume I'm entering in the cosplay contest, of course.

I still need pretty much everything for Anri, including a $50 bra, and I need to order so much stuff online.

I'm having some trouble with the wig I ordered for my Henry Townsend costume. The blasted thing is too small. But then again I literally have a big head.  :D

I have that problem too. Plus my hair is super thick and takes up too much of the wig.

My entire Marie cosplay was being a problem.... so I pretty much just decided to ditch it and wear my good ole Rikku White Mage cosplay instead.

It feels good to be free from that terrible costume.

Umm..My cosplay got done (other than the fact I can't find good white boots). For a problem though, my super high pony tail wig is not working at what so ever. Even when I wear a wig cap my hair sticks out the bottom, or the front. So I've decided I'm just going to take the pony tail down, even if there will be other problems now..

I have a tuxedo for Tux Mask, but with a gray vest and black bow tie, not white and white.

I had hopes of having Super Saiyan 3 Pikachu, and Super Saiyan 4 Goku done by con, but not enough time. Maybe at MEWcon or Sakuracon.

Yeah... I had a breakdown today, I was waiting for SOMETHING to go wrong
Stupid tubing I used for my necklace, I used gold model paint. It wasn't bonding cause the tubing had a waxy coating, even though I sanded it off. It started to dry a bit as I put it in front of a fan for a couple days in hopes that would work- my dad, trying to help, puts it on a rack in the HOT dryer. HOT air DOES NOT mix with TOXIC paint that will not set!!! D< I ran to the dryer, pulled it out, and started bursting out in tears.

Luckily Lowe's had tubing but a smaller size, the same material of my belt (so the paint will bond) and I was able to find the wooden balls I needed (FINALLY) after a five day wait for Michale's, only for them to not get it in, then a two day search at other places.

The Ranma costume I'm lending to my friend now, has been boched with bleach. So now we have to find the right colored dye, Dye it, wash it, dry it, sew the white cuffs and buttons back on.... -____-

^ good plan :D

yeah, I have a costume, that promised to do in a show that's being put on by a bunch of fans of the series. So it's kind of important that it gets done and gets done well.

The unfortunant thing is...although the costume looks good in the comic, there is no way in hell it's ever going to look good on a real person. yaaay.

I've sewn, unsewn and resewn every element about twelve times (and it's got a loooot of elements), and I think I've finally got it, but I'm heading down to portland in a day, and I've got a lot of work left to do, so it looks attractive in real life. :/

I have to either find garters that actually keep my stockings up, or make my own...

Well, the only problem so far with any of my costumes is the fact that i cut the split in France's coat to big and you can see my belly button D; I need to wear a blue tank top under my coat now.
