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.

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! I’m a beginner cosplayer, and I need some help with Maomao’s hairstyle. I’m cosplaying her everyday apothecary outfit. When I tried to recreate the part of her hair that’s tied back with a blue ribbon, I ended up with part of her forehead being exposed. Honestly, I’m not sure what I did wrong, but it looks really bad. Could you please help me figure out what I need to fix? Thank you so much!

I’m making a Light Dragon mask. What do you think would be the best way to create her mane? I have some yellow faux fur fabric. I was thinking I could create a bunch of little ‘tubes’ of fabric and lightly stuff with polyfil and then maybe glue some tufts in between to blend together, but do you have any other ideas?

Edit: thank you so much, everyone! You’ve given me some great ideas and I’ve got some new ways of looking at this. I really appreciate your feedback

I recently bought a very long wig and was wondering how I could stop it from getting tangled without having to cripple it, I was thinking of buying a detangling spray for normal hair; I’ve also seen that some people use silicone spray, but I can’t find any, so I was wondering whether it’s worth buying a detangling spray or mixing conditioner with water to apply throughout the day to stop it tangling so much during the convention.

(I’m worried it might get ruined if it gets too tangled, but I don’t want to wear it in braids)

I've gotten a 2nd hand leather jacket for a cosplay of Silver from deadlock, wondering if anyone has tips for making it look scuffed up?(not sure about flair sorry!)

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 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’m making a rocky cosplay from Project Hail Mary and I just made and papered these cardboard arms but I feel like they don’t look like Rocky’s arms. How can I make them look better or/and add definition? I’m planning to add the mate marks and other marks.

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 want to have shirts from characters like for example Danny Fenton and or any of deku's shirts

Edit: I was not expecting so much dms I am just looking for a website that people would recommend to be great that is all

Edit 2: read the god dam post before doing anything. I do not want you to do me about how you are a good artist and can do it I just want recommendations on websites people have experienced that are good also we have the comment section you know

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?

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 appreciate any assistance.

One quick edit, the hat is all vinyl so I'm not sure there's anything I can sew onto it,

needing help with fabric choices for a nangong yu costume! im going the leotard with a skirt route (like the first image) rather than a dress type situation I’ve seen cosplay websites do. I have all the fabrics for the other parts,I just need help with the main body (the leotard and white layer of the skirt).I’m thinking whatever I use for the leotard,I should use for the skirt because it seems like all the white fabrics I buy that arent the exact same fabrics,are wildly different shades of white. but I’m not too sure,and also im a little lost on how to attach the skirts together,and then to the leotard. since the pleats/ ruffles are so large and are in a roller coaster type of shape rather than just straight across, it’s not making since in my brain how I’d sew it down to my leotard. sorry if none of that made since, I have no idea what I’m talking about either 😓

Hey! So I’m looking to do an Absolute Catwoman cosplay for a con in December and I’m looking for advice on the best company to use to 3D print the helmet. I bought the files for the print off Etsy but I’m not too sure where to go from there and who to contact about printing it. If anyone also has ideas on how to build it myself without 3D printing that would also be helpful! If anyone has any recommendations I’d be very grateful!

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!

Hi, I'm cosplaying a niche character from Yu-Gi-Oh! and I'm wondering what the best ways to attach the following elements are? The design along the jacket i believe is based on traditional chinese wear, but I can't find exactly what its called or a similar design on any clothing. The design on the cuff is also a bit awkward, as the fabric I'm working with can't go that finely.

Could I cut a hole on the bottom of the spandex and glue it to the edges of the sole so it covers it fully?

The sole fits inside the spandex but I have nothing to put on the bottom and I imagine the spandex would get ripped and torn, etc without anything to protect it.

Would it look awful? Any suggested way to do it or even other methods that might work better.

I more than likely will be unable to get something protective to put on the bottom if I was to put the sole inside before I need it done.

I do have other, larger, identical yellow soles.

I have ideas to make it look more shoe like around my toes and heels, just need a way to attach a sole where I can reuse the "shoe" more than once

Thanks in advance!

So I had commissioned a wig recently for a cosplay and wanted to know how can I make it longer as it turned out to be short? I know the front may not be salvage able

I went as a pixelated naked sim and initially used velcro (which is visible in the 2nd photo) to hold the card stock in place. I wanted easy removal for when I needed to sit down and to prevent creasing because I was going to a con and after party. I glued a laminated sheet to the back of the cardstock to make it less flimsy. I also glued velcro on the back of the laminated sheet and sewed velcro on my clothes so I could just stick it on. The Velcro did not stay and completely fell off the cardstock. I tried to fix it for a few hours until I gave up and just used safety pins. As you can see not only did the paper rip and crease but the safety pin was hard to put back in the correct place after removing it to use the bathroom. What is a better material to use for the pixels instead of cardstock, that is easy to remove and what can I use instead of glue and velcro next time?

First time styling a wig, non-helmet. Any tips for improving? Also would like to know how wig makers keep the hair strands in place, especially the little strands that stood up. Any tips to keep the hair strands from clumping together and not so stiff looking? Preferably a softer and natural overall look. After using hairspray, the hair just clumps together and it’s kinda hard to get it to separate since it’s so sticky.

I want to dress up as spiderman, more so his last stand costume and I have a sweater that I think gives it an alternative twist to the suit. And I am thinking of buying biker gloves (as shown on the image). I also have black pants and black shows (nike air jordans to be exact, I know his are boots but im working with what I got.) Though my problem is knowing what to do for the mask because I dont have any sewing skills or anything like that but I also dont want to buy an expensive mask. So I don't know what I can do for the mask. Any tips on what I can do for the mask? I would ideally like to have a mask before halloween.

I just bought a Spider-Man costume from vinted, but it has this branding on it (on the outside). How do i remove lettering like this?

My boyfriend and I are being beast boy and raven for Halloween. I've been Raven before and just use white foundation and gray eyeshadow for contour, but I don't think I can pull off a similar maneuver for my boyfriend's costume. What colorful body/face paints would you guys reccomend?

I’m making a gambit cosplay from marvel rivals and i cant figure out how to make this «under collar» part. My first thought was embroidery with this puffy foam but i dont have an embroidery machine, and i dont know anyone with it either.. then i thought about 2mm EVA foam wrapped in fabric but that might become too thick? I dont like the look of puff paint so that might not be it either. Maaan pls help😭
