I loved seeing people in cosplay every time i've been to the MCM Expo, it was really amazing.
My first cosplay probably couldn't be considered very well as cosplay....i just got a few things from wardropbe and sewed them together the day before the expo! Yes i know i fail >>""
I made the cheerleading uniform from Prince of Tennis when Sakuno and Tomoka go all fangirl. It was okay...but damn those socks >< grr
My cosplays vary from:
buying a full cosplay (I know this is frowned upon in some peoples eyes, but oh well 83 if i think it's a beautiful cosplay i will buy it).
Buying bits and bobs from shops and patch working it or making some parts, buying others.
and making cosplays from scratch. And often i make these with my amazing nan who's a seamstress and is always teaching me how to sew OwO <3 <3 <3
I dont often upload progress pictures as i get carried away and forget |D;;; and by then it's too late for progress shots haha~
So far my favourite cosplay has been Chibimerica (made by nan for me during my university deadline). It gave me a lot of confidence to me to act like myself more freely and be silly and childish XD It's easier to play a character you have more in common with than having to act.
So it was a lot of fun 8D and a lot of ripped tights running around without shoes on >>;;
My aim for October Expo 2011 is to cosplay Lovino Vargas (South Italy) in his costume from RomaHeta. And i plan to work hard making that with guidance.
I've decided to make this for Friday for the MCM october BUT i'm also makign it because i'm going on holiday to Japan in August, so i need a cosplay for them :3
