Hey everyone,
i'm planning to make a tier 5 priest cosplay, but i can't seem to get my head around the fabrics that would work the best. And i'm not that much of an expert regarding all the different kinds of fabric that exist ^^
What would you guys suggest?

Myself, I'd use a silky/satiny/shot taffeta for the light blue (a light fabric) and then a heavy fabric for the skirt, I'd personally go for something similar to suede or velvet for texture, but then I like to spend ridiculous amounts on my outfits lol Again, go to your local shop and browse. You'll also get a good idea for prices too. And they can help as well :3 Last edited by NixieThePixie (17 May 2012 - 11:55) |

Here is mine for ref; http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/costume/view/63939 I did run out of time to finish the top half properly, and ended up just wearing a blue top >< Good Luck! |

They tend to be really helpful in most shops too, so ask them if you have any questions about particular materials |
