A thread to post your cosplay progress.

Whether it's ordering a new wig, finishing a jacket, finding the perfect pair of boots at the thrift store...keep us posted!

Even little thoughts are fine.

-----

I bought lots of fabric and a few patterns for my Mackenzie cosplay yesterday...I'm excited!

I've err... Asked for advice on boots! Now to search for pants!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2 on:** June 11, 2007, 08:22:24 pm »

I bought fabric! I have taken the first step XD

Lin · « **Reply #3 on:** June 11, 2007, 08:44:47 pm »

Hmmm.... I ordered one of my costumes!
My friend is making my other costume once I go buy the fabric for it!
So now I either have to dye my hair or get a blonde wig!

kyonichi · « **Reply #4 on:** June 11, 2007, 09:00:39 pm »

Got pants and am about 15% of the way done with my mask for one costume.

Commissioned the bulk of one, working on ideas for how to do the headgear still.

Yet to order my third costume.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #5 on:** June 11, 2007, 09:17:42 pm »

My cosplay is pretty much all but put together. I am waiting for a couple articles of clothing still, but the part that actually required work (the gun-arm) is done.

Greyman · « **Reply #6 on:** June 11, 2007, 10:22:29 pm »

Aw man! Awesome gun arm!

HeavenscloneX · « **Reply #7 on:** June 12, 2007, 12:57:01 am »

Let's see...until I learn how to sew, I'll have to end up requesting help on my cosplays.

So, I've placed an order for a Pit cosplay (Super Smash Brothers Brawl), and I am currently having someone help me sew my Green Ranger suit.

I still haven't started on the boots, gloves, or power shield yet.

Now for the things I specialize in!

Pit's Bow of Palutena will be my first project. It will be my first project using Wonderflex. Should be fun. After that I need to start making Zack's SOLDIER sword from Crisis Core.

It's Finals week right now, so once that is over I will be in Yatta Cloud's garage for countless days working on the props and stuff.

lets see... for my first cotume; dark, i have my wings, i need to aquire the fabric for my planned outfit, im waiting for my boots to come in the mail, and i need to get my hair dye.
for my second cosplay; risa harada, i need to get my measurements done so i can have my school uniform made, i need to get knee-high white socks, dress shoes, a brown wig, and need to practice making a high pitched voice.... lots of work ahead of me... O~O;;;

Keenon Williams · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2007, 12:22:44 pm »

My progress is as follows: bought the costume.

Yeah, I know making the costume is a much better idea because it's more personal, but... well, mom can't do any big projects lately because of dad's arm being all messed up and unusable, so she has to help him... sewing projects are kinda outta the question.

Still need to get a hold of a Ryoga-type umbrella.

Kotoumi · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2007, 01:16:28 pm »

I'm in the planning stage! xD;

Just this week of school left, and I'll be able to make better progress.

Nono (W) - Planning stage, might not happen. ;-;
Female Ouran Uniform - 90%? I need to alter it a little. It's too big.
Yukina (Yu Yu Hakusho) - Planning stage. I'm totally throwing out all my previous stuff from the Halloween version to remake it in cotton.

BACKUP
Male Ouran Uniform - 80% done, but only 'cause it'll all be storebought. xD

i need better fabric for my sumomo cosplay chris is gonna get for me as present

Jaminos · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2007, 04:30:08 pm »

Well my Soulreaper uniform is complete however the black over kimono is too small so I will have to completely redo and make it about two sizes larger.

However the rest fits perfectly.

Runa · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2007, 05:41:12 pm »

100% : Haruhi Suzumia school uniform - completed and ready to wear. I have to break in the shoes as they feel a little tight when wearing the socks that go with the costume (note to others: ALWAYS wear the socks you're going to be wearing with the shoes when you're purchasing them. I should KNOW that, but noooooooooooo, I wore nylon stockings that day, and the cotton socks are somewhat thicker. Ghaaaaaa)

30% : Cornelia from Code Geass - Got the jacket pattern drafted, fitted and cut out. Ready to sew that tonight. Have fabric & supplies for pants, boot covers and cloak.

Yippeeeeeeeeeee......

PS: and we will NOT discuss the piles of fabric designated for other costumes that are sitting in my sewing room....

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #15 on:** June 13, 2007, 02:54:22 pm »

I've got a lot of the parts for my cosplays but I still need to assemble them. I haven't tried to put together my Pocky Armor yet because I need a couple more Giant Pocky Boxes to be comfortable cutting them up (I don't want to risk using them up and ruining them).

I still need a good jacket and sunglasses for Gendo and then I'm done. He's the closest one right now.

{Die}Destroyer · « **Reply #16 on:** June 14, 2007, 08:15:52 am »

manekineko · « **Reply #21 on:** June 15, 2007, 01:32:43 pm »

All of my costumes have 0% done.

I'm a slacker.

First thing to do is get fabric and wigs.

DarkKnightUltima · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2007, 02:25:48 pm »

Well. I have 40 bucks right now out of my 130 goal for completing my cosplay. I need the robes, headband, wig, and making my own sandals.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #26 on:** June 26, 2007, 07:57:02 pm »

I've finished sewing my hat! ^^;;
It's something, right? A lot of trial and error was involved. I also look silly in it, but whatever.

I went to Goodwill to hunt for some white boots, but didn't have any luck.
I did buy a sailor-looking outfit for $5 though, lol.

makichan · « **Reply #27 on:** June 26, 2007, 08:12:40 pm »

I have my goggles... I just need to do everything else. I used to have the shirt but since (Death note) matt's shirt is red and black rather than what everyone else thought (black and white) I need to get going. As for my haruhi suzumiya cosplay... we'll see if I have enough money after everything lol.

Basket · « **Reply #28 on:** June 26, 2007, 09:55:44 pm »

I need to doooo....everything. Basically. For my night elf priestess costume I need to buy thigh-high stockings, knee high boots, long-ass black gloves, short-shorts (o-o i'm terrified.), and a red pimp hat. Thats the stuff that just needs to be altered. After that I need to make by my own crazy shoulder things, belt, and cape. Then to make me night-elfy I still have to purchased purpley make up and ears and such.

I've located everything I need to buy, but I still need to buy it and fix it to however it pleases me. Needless to say, I've got a metric buttload of work to do. @_@

EmAino · « **Reply #30 on:** June 27, 2007, 10:05:37 am »

Well, let's see here....

Rika - I need to go get a new belt for this one as my old one broke apart for no apparent reason during work.

Random pirate - completely done.

Kabuto - I've got the headband?

Female Blacksmith - Probably going to end up doing something else instead. I don't know.

choked_smurf · « **Reply #32 on:** June 29, 2007, 01:23:44 pm »

Yay! I just ordered the first part of my Tsunade costume!

Shoes: Check
Costume: Process of deciding- evil shiny material >.<
Wig: Need to find a good one still
Forehead: Need to find the perfect color marker to draw it with. (Since technically it's more like a tattoo, not a gem.)
Hooker red fingernail polish: Check
Pink lipstick: Check

Go me!! First cosplay FTW!

Shadow · « **Reply #33 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:05:48 pm »

Lets see.. >>;

Shadow - Just need to touch up the shoes-from-hell, and then I'm good!

Matt - Need to get gloves, goggles, possibly a wig, and need to frantically find a commissioner for the vest. Woo. But I do have the belt, shirt, and shoes.

manekineko · « **Reply #34 on:** July 03, 2007, 07:17:06 am »

I have order 3 wigs and I feel accomplished.

I also ordered one of my costumes, because I don't have the time nor the effort to make it right now.

But it IS progress.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #35 on:** July 03, 2007, 07:55:24 am »

I've cut out all my pattern pieces to make my dress. Now I need to cut out fabric...a sew...•___• Gah, darts and zippers! Scary!

I'm still wondering if I should buy a wig. Hmmmm.

Kotoumi · « **Reply #36 on:** July 03, 2007, 10:59:31 am »

I found my Yukina fabric~! xD
I just haven't figured out how much to buy yet, but I have it figured out.
...And I found a good Yukina wig on Cosworx.
Kerunyo offered to have her dad paypal it for me and I pay him back.
Oh, and I found perfect Yukina shoes/socks on my Japanese class field trip to Uwajimaya. Yay!

That's all so far.

Trumby · « **Reply #37 on:** July 03, 2007, 11:23:42 am »

I haven't done much at all for mine yet.. <.< The boots are on the way..just need to find someone who can make the coat and belt pouches for me..hoping my mom can..since I can't sew.. <.<

SephiChan · « **Reply #38 on:** July 09, 2007, 03:36:56 am »

I'm doing a good job of doing nothing on my costumes. XD

Tseng - 100%; finished it for Sakura COn this year so it's ready to go. Though I think the wig needs a good combing before Kumori.

Gackt - 0%; Yeah, right! I've been poking around for materials but I still haven't purchased anything!

Sephiroth - 30ish%; I've got pieces of this costume all over my room at the moment and a half-disassembled trenchcoat calling my name. Notably, I have to wait for a friend to finish the leather SOLDIER belt, and I still have to make beta shoulder pauldrons to expiriment with before building the real things. OH YEAH, styling the new wig's gonna be fun.

Kyuubi · « **Reply #41 on:** July 09, 2007, 01:49:53 pm »

My single cosplay is done. XD And it's probably going to be the most noticeable when I'm walking around. Who can't spot a wolf tail in a crowd when it's on a guy over six foot?

Kaji - My Hige/Blue spawn/love child
Tail - Check (got it back in April)
Clothes - Wearing clothes that I already wear since that's what the characters in Wolf's Rain wear.
--------- Wearing a black vest, black shorts, with a white under shirt. I'll blend into the shadows. >.>

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #42 on:** July 09, 2007, 02:20:34 pm »

I'm working on sewing a prototype of my costume, so my final product won't have too many kinks.

So far I have all the fabric cut out, with some darts sewn in, but nothing is really together yet.

pieisexactlythree · « **Reply #43 on:** July 13, 2007, 11:40:29 pm »

All but one item is acquired. So, forums, where is a good place to buy cheap plastic headbands? You know, the kind one uses to make nekomimi (cat ears)?

the_wind_the_sea · « **Reply #44 on:** July 14, 2007, 01:22:11 am »

Pirate: Done

Human Luna: 90% Done - Need to restyle the four Odangos of the wig, redo the anklet and neckalce, and then do the moon charms for the entire thing.

Jin Uzuki: 0% Done - Need to buy the fabric and pattern, then actually make the costume, style the wig, and then obtain the various other parts I need for the costume.

I'd say the dollar store/tree/shoppe. They have hair accessories and all those nice little things, and for only a dollar!

that's what the costume will eventually be.

Shoes: Where can I get 6-8 inch heels, that I can actually try on first O.o
Costume: Planned out, but no fabric purchased
Wig: Found it, need to order it
Headpiece: Just need to glue everything together

I'd suggest checking out vintage/used clothing stores for heels. Places like Red Light, the Metro, and a whole lot of other stores on Hawthorne, you have a good chance of finding something there.

laurifer · « **Reply #49 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:18:25 am »

I need:

1. Materials to make a Death Note (shouldn't be hard at all)
2. Some Misa-like accessories (found some at Hot Topic but are pricey so I'll keep on hunting in other places)
3. Misa-like shoes (I have a pair of high heels but considering that I'll be in costume all day...yeah looking for alternatives right now but shoes aren't my highest priorty)
