hi! i'm going to a convention in two weeks, and i want to cosplay twilight sparkle in equestria girls (not sci twi). i'm leaning toward a more casual cosplay because it's my first time dressing up for a con. i just need help looking for the pieces because i don't know where to look. every time i try to search for something, i get ai results :/ my budget is also not that high. so, anyone know where i can find the pieces for this cosplay?

thank you :)

Hi all!

I am going to be Kim Possible for Halloween and I don’t want to wear a wig. My hair is black, but also fine. Is there a recommended hairspray or chalk or something for just Halloween night that I can use that won’t make my hair stiff or greasy?

I'm wanting to do an Anakin costume for Halloween and admittedly I've left it quite late already. I've had a look around and from what I can see the main costumes I've spotted are from procosplay and Coshduk. Wondering about people's experiences with them both as in worried more about shipping as I need them before or on the 28th and whilst those 12 days should be plenty for the 2 to 3 processing day and up to 5 shipping days I'd like to know if anyone has had trouble regarding customs delays etc that could ruin plans.

Alternatively I've looked at Amazon but nothing look too great from what I've seen though I'd love recommendations as obviously that would be a lot quicker and more reliable if returns are needed. Or if anyone knows any UK based sites they can recommend to me I'd really appreciate it. Thank you all!

Hello there folks! I am a tgirl in the making and I really want to do some more feminine cosplay for this Halloween. I will be hosting a Halloween themed party/cook out so everyone will be in costume and I will be cooking.

I was thinking about doing a lady D cosplay, I loved RE Village and the character is so fun. I think it also would help me with some of my more “manly” features with the heavy make up and the already tall character.

My only issue is that it seems like an already pretty cumbersome costume and I will be grilling, frying and generally cooking the whole day. So how can I make it more practical?

Basically the title. Most of the websites I get pointed towards are for mainly women, Etsy seems kind of a coin toss, and the one site I found with a lot of options is Ezcosplay but I've seen mixed reviews on it.

Hi everyone.

Maybe this is a stupid question I really don’t know. I don’t do cosplays nor do I know anything about them.

I ordered a furina SR cosplay off of doki doki to wear for Halloween (she’s my fave character).
I ordered the dark version (she has a light and dark version in game and the store offers both versions as its own costume) and I picked size XL cause I’m to Asian standards quite a tall girl.

Well today my parcel arrived and I opened it only to find the pants and the top are white (the light version) and also every clothing package has an S sticker on them. I was also surprised cause my shop app says that my furina clothing parcel is still allegedly in Osaka while the doki doki website says the shipment has been fulfilled.

I immediately checked my email receipt and although it does mention I ordered a dark version, it doesn’t clearly state anywhere that I selected a certain size. And the shipping states original version while the item states dark? I am so so so confused.

Right now I’m lowkey scared cause it was really expensive and since my ‘evidence’ is kind of lacking I fear I might not get refunded or possibly get a new one. And even if I did it would definitely not arrive before Halloween.

Does anyone have any experience with this and is there anyone who knows if it’s worth it for me to reach out or of there is any way to check that I did get the correct something.

Hiya, my partner and I are planning on dressing as Aragorn and Arwen for Halloween. I (AMAB) will be Arwen, but im completely lost in the world of dress sizes.
I tend to wear size large clothes, but medium clothes also fit me fine (both men’s sizes)
I’ve been looking to buying a dress from daizbella (https://daizbella.com/products/cmc012oe5) and would really appreciate any suggestions for which size to get. Is this a matter of measuring myself against their sizing chart or is there a different method that’s better?
Thank you in advance!!

I bought this spray cuz I heard cosplayers use it but google is telling me there’s some risks even after u let it dry out. But the non industrial ones just don’t work as well and these sprays make my wig so slippery and tangle free 😭 but I don’t wanna die from it, anyone also use silicone spray?

I've come across plenty of hooded capes, regular capes, etc, but nothing that captures the similar collar bunching combined with a cape.

Does anyone have a resource or template or even suggestions? Been on this for weeks now.

Hi all!

I am going to be Kim Possible for Halloween and I don’t want to wear a wig. My hair is black, but also fine. Is there a recommended hairspray or chalk or something for just Halloween night that I can use that won’t make my hair stiff or greasy?

While I have worn wigs in the past, those were ones that didn't need all that much work so I don't have much experience with properly styling one. I know I'm probably just overthinking it, but I doubt it's as simple as buying a longer haired wig and just tying it into a ponytail

I did some reasearch on this and apparently Oxford soles are especially complicated? If the shoe I wanna use has that stitched sole then that means there was another outer sole added, then everything was sewn together by machine. In these cases, can the whole outer sole be removed so it can be glued to the wood platform? I don't want anything to be in the way of the shoe and the new platform. I have to be picky with the shoe itself to match the design and there isn't a lot without that type of sole. Wikihow says I can do this, but I dunno...

The platform will be custom made. I don't work with wood but I know a guy. We'll carve the part that connects to the shoe and everything. My understanding is most modern shoe makers work with readymade heels anyway. But I can probably ask them to glue the heel on at least. Then I'll paint it and change the laces

(if you don't know what this is, Vivienne Westwood used to make them, and a ton of Japanese brands followed suit. no one's making this design, though)

Recently I have been thinking a lot about making a counter-strike cosplay of the counter-terrorist agent B squadron officer | SAS but I was wondering if it was even legal to even dress up as an actual police force? If it was illegal (which I strongly think it is), how could I change the outfit/details enough to make it work?

Hi I’m planning on making Susie’s axe from Deltarune.

Okay so the plan is to make a base made of pvc pipe (red) which I would warp with a heat gun to resemble a curved axe handle make the axe head out of insulation foam, sand that down into the correct shape then glue Eva on the whole thing for smoothness and seal and paint after that.

I want the whole thing to be able to collapse into 3 parts. Saw this method on google while I was brainstorming and was going to copy it for collapsing mechanisms.

I’ve asked a few friends about what they think I should do and have gotten some different ideas. One was to switch out the pvc for aluminum since I’m worried about the weight being too much but I’m not sure I could shape the handle how I wanted to then. The other was to not do a L shaped PVC pipe and just have it be a straight pipe but I’m really worried about the weight distribution (friend says that how I have it planned out put more stress on the L joint) and I’m sure which of us are correct.

This is my first time making a prop this big and I want to get it right

Thank you so much for your time and I’m open for anything!

I am doing a last minute cosplay for a disney fairies costume party on sunday, i’ve found solutions for basically everything except for the belt seperated metal ish piece. any ideas of what i could buy as a replacement for this part? i found beads i can use for the red beads.

it doesn’t have to be perfect it’s just a birthday costume party and it was super last minute but i would really probably be rewearing it for halloween in a couple weeks

Hi all, dressing as the T1000 for Halloween and I’d love for it to look like I’ve been frozen by liquid nitrogen, I did a similar thing for a The Thing 1982 costume, but it was permanent and ruined the clothing. I really don’t want to ruin this costume as a few of the pieces were a little costly. Any ideas?

I need help trying to figure out the best way to wear this hat I bought back in the spring. I bought it from a designer, and it's a very nice hat, but the designer said he made it in a way that it was designed to be worn how Lucifer wears his in the show, sitting back on his head.

I should have just told him not to bother with that and had him make the hat to go on my head like a normal hat, but I didn't, and that was my mistake.

So now I need to figure out how to wear it and I'd like to wear it to an event on Saturday since I did pay for it.

He gave me some rare earth magnets, but I can't for the life of me see how to wear them. There's no where I can put the magnets that they will be able to make contact with magnets under my wig,. You can see in the pic how I tried to do the magnets, but the magnets are vertical, and under my wig they are horozontal. It seems like he would have needed to make the entire underside of the hat flat for me to use magnets.

The only other idea I have is something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/JIUSERLU-Pieces-7-teeth-Secure-Accessories

And superglue them to the interior rim of the hat and then let them side down into the wig.

I would truly apperciate any assistance.

So for context i am making the raging armour wolf set from elden ring and it is my first cosplay project ever i wanted to as how should i attach the pieces to my body so they dont fall off but also not restrict my movement like the shin and calf part of the lower leg armour how am i supposed to fit my leg through any help would be lovely

I wish to attach the lightsaber hilt on the belt. It is aluminium, unfortunately, so my original plan with a magnet is out of the question. Do you have any ideas how to create a "holster" that is somewhat lore friendly without compromising the blade too much? It is supposed to go under the cape shown on photo 3.

I plan on making this outfit for a ren fair in the future but I do t even know where to start. Should I buy shoud I sew ???? I dont even know T_T

Also how should I keep the hat in my hair ??

Your help is much appreciated!!!!

I'm planning on making a Ticci Toby cosplay but I'm very new to this and not too sure on how I could make this. I'm thinking of trying to glue metal to a cloth mask but im worried that would look bad and also sag from the weight.

Any tips would be appreciated!

I never did a cosplay i would want to but i have no experiences, but i would love to help people by being a cosplay medic. How can i become one? What skills should i master, should i cosplay before to gain experiences or should i just jump into it. Also iam not sure what could i need iam guessing sewing kit, glue, pins etc, but as i saw some lists what to bring i'm not sure if its possible to enjoy the convention and buy something from there with all those items already on me.

So for Halloween and an upcoming convention, I thought I'd do a slay the spire merchant costume, but somehow I'm really struggling to find a blue robe that captures the look. I've attached the character and two examples that I think look good. Ive tried searching for robes, cloaks, tunics, hoodies, and even surfing ponchos among other obscure names for whatever you would call it. Unfortunately for the life of me I just can't find anything thats a good match that seems like it would come from a reputable store and in time for the holiday. I know I'm cutting it a bit close but didn't really think I was doing a costume until this week.

Maybe it's just that with halloween season in full swing, theres a much larger variety of costumes that makes it hard to search, but if you happen to know of any good shops or even a specific product any help would be appreciated. While not my preference, I would be willing to make my own, but I have almost no experience sewing so I don't know what type of materials are easy to work with or what patterns I might consider for something basic

Hi everyone, I need help I made a big mistake when puff painting my spider-man suit. I used my arm to puff paint the sleeve since I don’t have a mannequin. Unfortunately I didn’t take the sleeve off cleanly enough which resulted in the image you see in my post. I tried using alcohol then warm water with dish soap to see if I could remove a good portion of it and it doesn’t seem like it did the trick. I don’t know what to do, I spent a lot of time sewing these two spandex shirts together and prefer not to mess it up too badly.
