Anything you want. Do not let your size get to you. That's how you end up all depressed and shizz, and we can't have that can we lol But as for doing it on a budget, that's different haha What kinda budget are you looking at? And what do you already have on hand? What is the budget going to get you? Do you need a wig within that budget? Maybe you also need specific shoes or boots because you have none to alter. That all plays a part in budgeting.
Those are really good points. Posting this was a big enough step for me, haha. Thank you for saying what you said about size not being a determining factor. Not enough people think that way I guess and it gets hard.
Budget for me is not buying an outfit outright? I want to try and make something, but I am trying not to spend more than $100-200 on it. I hear of a lot of people spending a lot. I don't know anything about where to get wigs that won't die with the slightest customization, but I don't want to buy THE TOP wigs. Does that make sense? I'm willing to be flexible, but I have no clue.
I have nothing. Okay, I have a Sailor Saturn outfit that is a couple sizes too small right now and a Rukia (from Count Cain) outfit that is ginormous on me. If anything, I can have the Rukia outfit tailored, but I think I'm missing some components and I don't know where my butterflies went. I'm willing to go outside my budget for an idea I'm excited for, but I don't have many people in my close circle that cosplay and the ones that do have their own group.
If you plan on cosplaying with someone though, you will need to know what they are doing.
I do know this, I guess I posted it in here because it's hard for me to go into another thread and raise my hand to join someone's group. I'm really outgoing when it comes down to it, but I have a lot of barriers in my head. I stopped cosplaying because my last group bailed on me. They said I didn't fit anymore because I was gaining weight. So, I tacked it on at the end of this as a kind of "well I already went over this, so how about this" XD
As for me, I already have all mine planned, but that's just me. If you were to cosplay with me, you ould cosplay whever you wanted, but if you were looking at same series stuff, Since I already have mine set up, you would need to do series' that I'm alreaydy doing. See what I mean? Anyway, hope you can think of something.
Thanks! I may take you up on that. Even if we aren't doing the same series, it's more fun when you're with someone.
Out of curiosity, what ARE you cosplaying? Maybe that might spark some ideas in me.
See, it's a little hard to just go "Oh you're plus sized? do this character" because we have zero information on you. What if we threw out a kingdom hearts character, then you said, "Oh I hate those games"..Then that would be completely pointless right? There's no specific characters you should be looking at just because you are bigger. Just pick a character (or moe if budget allows) and go for that..
I understand that, and my apologies for being vague XD.
I mentioned the two cosplays I have up there. I'm a big fan of a lot of older stuff. Sailor Saturn is a big goal for me, but I'm not ready for that one yet. Maybe Princess Saturn since the dress is long. I've also thought of finding something in Fushigi Yuugi, Rurouni Kenshin, or Evangelion to go as. I'm going to keep thinking on this, but still tell me what you're cosplaying
