Hello, im completly new to cosplay, its been something ive seen and always wanted to try but never done anything about it, until now. Im going to Kitacon next year and im going as the Harlequin from Assassins Creed brotherhood multiplayer, ive bought half the costume and will be making the rest (would have tried making it all but as a first project didnt think i could do it so i decided to have an easy way in)
Would be nice to get to know a few people on here who are going so we could meet up, i might be bringing a friend as he seems keep on cosplaying Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. (Better than VII, ooo may have started an arguement there )

Anyway hope to get know some of you
Any advice or info you want to share would be greatly apprieciated as im a total newbie

Nice to meet you. I wouldn't worry about buying part of your costume, as lots of people buy part or all of their costumes.

Hey there, its good to meet you. Welcome to the site. I'm also quite new; I'll be attending Kitacon next year with a couple of cosplays. I might see you there.
