Befor making a costume, you need to make sure you are patient enough and have enough time, or you may give up halfway. Then you also need to know about the character you plan to personate and make a note. Hatune Miku cosplay is popular amongest cosplayers.

Everything is ok, now you can make your costume. Get a fitted grey or white dress shirt, or you can dye the white grey. Cut off the sleeves and sew on teal lace. Cut the bottom at a sharp angle. That way it stays straight buttoned up to the top of the skirt, then angles out at 45 degrees. Do some more cutting along the sides and back if your dress shirt is one of those 'scoop' kinds. Add more teal lace to the bottom. Embroider by hand the dotted teal on the 45 degree angle. Add patches made from scrap fabric with heat-n-bold and fray-check.

candybai — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 02:20:22 GMT

Ciel in Wonderland Cosplay enjoy high popularity amongest cosplayers. if you have planed to make a Ciel in Wonderland Cosplay Costume, please take a look below.

Stockings will be an easy find at Halloween stores.

Shoes will have to be bought in-store or online. Search payless, dsw, and other such stores online first before going to them.

The apron can be made with broad cloth. There are retro patterns at Joanns, and I think an Alice in Wonderland in the costume section of the pattern books might have something close.

His blue outfit is a jumper. You can either buy one on ebay or sew one with a pattern. Use a nicer fabric like a bottomweight or a Kona Solid. The front ribbing and collar can be spliced with another pattern. It will be from a dress shirt that has that type of ribbing. You'd just switch it out for the front of the jumper pattern.

The skeleton key can be bought at Lowe's.
The headband can be bout at Claire's or Icing or Hot Topic.

Recoginzable Female Cosplay Ideas for 2011 Halloween

candybai — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:02:26 GMT

With the Halloween coming again, the people around me, no matter friends, colleagues and my families, all have started to prepare anyting for the Halloween. My friends want some innovative ideas for Halloween this year. They are looking for video game, comic or anime or manga characters that would be recognizable to some people in the general public. Some of my friends wouldn't mind a male character costume with a feminine touch. They think costume wouldn't be too difficult or expensive to make preferred.

In terms of what type of characters you love, Well, manga is out of the loop since the general public doesn't read it. Anime might be alright since it is shown on Cartoon Network, so you are only limited to those shows. Comics are good with all the new movies but they are heros but heroines.

I also got some ideas from them to share with you. Naruto is pretty and hinata ore sakura is also good. If you want male, hao asakura or one of the naruto characters or the movie which well do good as well.

Otherwise, serah farron from the video game final fantasy xiii, she is a recognizable character and the costume is simple but pretty cute.

However, choose the character you love and enjoy the cosplay entertainment.

Maid Cosplay for Girls

candybai — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 03:21:48 GMT

Maid, a job appeared at the time when class polarization, but with the lifestyle change and the people paying more attention to the guarantee of human rights, this unique culture has gradually disappear.

The maid costume of course means the girl is pairing the blouse and apron with a long black skirt and the maid costume would be better if include a lace hair piece. If you think the maid costume too traditional and boring, then you are on your own way for an updated sexy maid outfit. Use the maid costume as a reference, but just go much shorter and sexier for the individual pieces. Guys will be wanting your maiden service!

When intending to make a maid costume yourself, you need to choose well the fabric. Personally, I love satin for lingerie maid and cotton for cosplay. A maid costume is a little similar to lolita dress but less formal and more casual.

Make Rinoa Cosplay Costume Yourself for Halloween

candybai — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 02:50:11 GMT

When intending to do your Rinoa costume, whether you don’t know how to sew and what type of cloth you think is the most appropriate?

Well you definitely don't have to knit it and you can find it at the shops like trustedeal.com I have seen a few Rinoa costumes and cotton looks perfect. I think you should search around in shops because I have seen a few top similar to that. If you have a cardigan similar maybe just copy the pattern and use the cotton material. You got me excited now this is all I am goanna be thinking about.

In the matter of sewing, hire a seamstress, get friends help, and buy one. OR try to make one with out sewing and using fusible tape which is iron-on for hems. Or you can always find a seamstress who'll make it for you. Or you could do what is called a "closet cosplay" where everything you wear is regular clothing. Or if you're good at knitting or crocheting, you can do that.

How to Choose the Fabric for Your Cosplay Costume

candybai — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:42:58 GMT

Considering your budget or personal hobby, some cosplayers love to make their costumes by themselves. Of course, please make sure you are patient enough and have much time, or it is better for you to buy it.

Speaking of making costumes, one of importances is how to choose the fabric. One of my friend who cosplayed Meiko, she made her costume out of cloth back vinyl which is really cheap and is the right glossiness too. For the Belt she used velcro and PVC or Vinyl again. For the arm warmers, she used normal armwarmers.

As a matter of fact, it depends on what costume. The best way to find out is to print out several references when you go and compare the fabrics you find to the one in the picture, and ask for the opinions of the employees of the store if you want a second opinion.

The only type of material that is a big no-no is Satin. Satin works for small details like ribbons or bows, but not a whole costume. Satin seems like a pretty fabric, but not in pictures with flash. The flash makes you see all you can see all the wrinkles and stuff that you don't want to see.

Cosplay Ideas for 14 Year Old Boy

candybai — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 08:52:04 GMT

The word cosplay is made up of the words costume and play mashed together. You dress up as characters, often manga, sci-fi or fantasy characters, and get together with other people, mainly at conventions. People sometimes act like their characters, and it can involve LARP (live action role play - watch Role Models for an explanation of that), although you can have cosplay without the actual 'play' part - just the costumes. I hope that makes sense, I'm a terrible explainer!!!

I don't know who the first one is, but Link would be cool. There's an awesome website with swords, but you said cheaper, so that might not be the best option.

L from Death Note would be easy, white top, baggy pants and a wig. Or you could do your own hair if it works. They also have

Death Notes for sale for around $20 at those little Asian stores that sell random dolls, ornaments and lots of Mario stuff.

So you could dress up as Light, in relatively normal clothes. Personally, I'd love to dress up as Misa and hold a Death Note, but you are a guy...

With all those character hat/beanie things around lately, it wouldn't be hard to dress up as a Pikachu or something either. A friend of mine also dressed up as Pikachu by using the typical ghost formula - yellow sheet, eye holes, and red cheek circles, cute drawn mouth, holes with hairsprayed hair poking through, taped on tail.

Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon would be easy too. All you need is a tux and a mask, and a rose. Oh, and a top hat，and a cape.

How to Make Assassin’s Creed Altair Costume

candybai — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:40:14 GMT

First, collect good picture of the costume as possible as you can. This would be very helpful when you are planning and shopping the fabrics. Also make sure you are skilled at cutting and stitching. If not, hire a seamstress to realize your design.

Second, find nice fabric. A good choice for the robe and cloak would be canvas or linen. Since they are used a lot in the middle age and look like the texture used in the game. The natural canvas color is really ideal to make the costume.

Third, look for the other parts of his clothes, he has a light grey shirt and grey/tan pants. The shirt could be linen, while the pants could be denim, cotton or a lighter kind of canvas.

Forth, make sure the costume look is finished delicately. According to the picture you collect, find proper fabric for the belt/sash. Also in this regard, use the color rich in a dark shaded texture, which made of 55% rayon 45% linen.

Fifth, choose if we want to make the leather parts out of real leather or leather. If the budget permits, the real leather tends to be more ideal as some kind of leather could have a nice look and texture.

Sixth, use the ribbon for the “sleeves” of the sleeveless robe. While working on the patterns, the robes, shirts, pants and hood looks fairly simple to achieve. However the hardest part of the Altair costume would be the belts. The custom patterns for the large “belt’ and hardness seeming boots are both the finishing touches of the ensemble. The sharply vivid details attached matters a lot. You can just finish a detailed cover on a pair of cheap boots!

Finally, find the accessories, the knives and sword. It would not be a problem as long as you find detailed video tutorial online.

Then do the armor on his left arm, another significant detail of his cool look. This could be done in many ways. Sculpting the piece and making a fiberglass or resin copy, out of cract foam, etc.

Well, the latest step is to distress/weather it for a hard effect. Ok, these tips are all on the first phase of making the costume! But it can be predicted that the finished look will be somehow a real return of Assassin's Creed Altair.

All in all, for Assassin's Creed Altair Costume,the fabric choice plays a big role for its good result. If you really worry the budget, blend leather and faux leather for the leather-should part. Some hard textures like linen, canvas and leathers like pig suede are more likely to vividly express that feel of original look.

Then, the long ears can be made from a small piece of used fabric. Just take a measurement and cut it off from the entire fabric. Sew them together and then connect them with the hat.

Tail: certainly, cloth can not make a tail like this. In most cases, Pikachu lovers use plastic that can be erect yet rather lightweight. You can use foam this time. It’s really easy to do this. Draw an outline of the tail and then cut off the shape from the foam. Color it. When it comes to connecting the tail with the costume, it’s wise to choose a fixing apparatus instead of sewing it on the suit. Or directly bind it on your belt like this female.
