Yeah, cosplay is really expensive sad.gif Making your own costumes is much much cheaper, thats what I'm doing now, with my mum's help biggrin.gif

I used to work full time so thats where I got my money from tongue.gif

^omg kim you went to UWA to do the shoot x_x

^^hm i wonder if thats a wig, because i need one that long x_x i keep searching on ebay but theres no wig thats like.. long enough =/
im going to use it to cosplay yuki from vampire knight next year, and long hair looks SO much better than short hair LOL. so yeah.. anyone seen a brown wig thats super duper long?

EDIT: hm i see a really nice long one from the shop kim recommended, but its black sad.gif i wonder if it'll be weird if i use that instead?
x_TaintedLove

^ If it's a good material, you should dye it to make it more realistic. That is if you want to. I'm getting the impression that you since you'd rather have a longer wig, then go ahead and get it in black. People will be totally confused though. They'll get the impression that you're some student in the Day Class.

I need to find a blonde wig for my Misa cosplay. -Sighs-
And sewing abilities. @_@
I wish there more anime cons around here. The closest one is in two days, but I don't have a costume ready and it's an hour or two away. -Has a hissy fit-

cosplaywig has some really good blonde wigs. I'm getting one there in a few weeks time for my Misa cosplay biggrin.gif I've already finished making her costume ages ago, but just need the wig tongue.gif
x_TaintedLove

Thank you so much! Wish I could dye my hair blonde, but it would be a huge mistake.

Wow! They have the wig! And it's only $44.98 with shipping. Which one will you be buying? Since you're buying one, I don't want to buy it and leave you without a wig for your cosplay. And vice-versa.
Must save up money, now! (Why the heck did I have to place an order in that survey?! T_T)

LOL! Look who came back to Soompi! XD

Anyways, yeah, she is indeed cute and wow I haven't been on this thread in ages. Manifest is coming up in Melbourne and I will be once again going as L. Hopefully, this time I do it a lot better. My hair should be of the right length too! I really can't see myself as anyone else other than L so I'll just be known as that L guy. smile.gif

@x_TaintedLove: Good luck with the Misa cosplay. I shall be keeping tabs on you until you do it. Not that that sounds weird but yeah smile.gif
xdeathberry
what's the general amount of money you would spend on a costume? @__@
w/ wigs and contacts too.

buying it? making it?
diru
I'd say at least 150 dollars up. And that's for both options. Though my guess is as good as yours.

To those that make their outfits, I commend your efforts. (Y) ^^

I'm going to get the pale blonde Misa wig ^^
Ohh just buy whichever one you want haha, they have heaps in stock, I'm not planning to buy it until next month tongue.gif WHen someone buys a wig from them they put up another listing for it straight away ^^

I thought I'd post up my Misa cosplay, minus the wig haha. I made this one (with heaps of help from my mum xD)

(excuse my face looking weird here xD)

For prices of costume, really depends on who you buy from and what kind of costume it is. I've spent $120 for a costume before, and I've also spent $360 for a costume before. Of course my $360 costume was a lot more complicated hence the price.
diru
^ I reckon you can just dye it. Your hair is the good length as it is.

Actually scrap what I said about dying, if your too worried about damaging your hair. But yeah, my recommendation just for that one day of cosplaying, dye it and make your hair as Misa as possible. smile.gif

That or just use hair colour spray hahaha. tongue.gif

I always look for the CHEAP way out of a cosplay. Hence the whole L thing. I really should change things up though...:S I had suggestions a while back but, I'd like more. Haha.
<3 Kim
^ Haha I'm getting a wig for my Misa cosplay so the hair is ok ^-^ Should be getting it sometime next month tongue.gif
Twilightforest
Ooh I get to see yur cosplay before the conv. ehehee!~ soompi ftw -_^

bites so much... wont be until supanova where I'll be able to see a cosplay gathering... and that wont be till july ish.

I cant agree more with these cosplay thingys... sometimes yu can spend WAY too much on something. Getting good contacts can be so darn expensive... I found one for Allen walker(D.Gray man) and it was something in the mid 3 digit level price bracket... complete with the cosplay woulda been in the 4 digits... cosplay is like a hobby-expensive.(and time consuming)

Cosplaywig used to have a chocolate brown wig that was pretty long. Cosworx.com sells a really long wig that could work for Yuuki, but you'd have to cut the bangs, and if you want to, give it layers.
This is the wig, and a six would probably be best. You can try looking at Amphigory if you want, too.

Also im trying to save up money for my trip to Thailand, and Australia in summer of 2009.

Depends on whom you cosplay as... and what you need. It probably goes up to over $200 average.
But if you want high quality stuff... yeahh its crazy expensive. I watched the anime con on TV
and some dude spent over $1000 on his entire cosplay costume.

If you make it, i think it would depend on the maker.
As well as having a very creative mind and skill of sewing.

If something as simple as japanese School Uniform that
Kim is wearing. i would buy

-White V neck T-shirt or Fabric, this would be better quality ( and just make a t-shirt base ) $5 shirt/ $4 Fabric (im tiny, so i don't use a lot of fabric lol)

-Fine a sailor suit at a vintage shop/thrift store ( you would be using the collar only) $6

-Bow's are pretty easy to make $2 fabric/or Premade made its $5 (people on soompi sell them for $10.. but i found a wholesale price online)

-Skirt - make with fabric $5

-For the stripes on the sleeve/ collar just buy the linings at a store $2

Total would be around $30
But if you might already have some of the stuff so it could be lesser =]


But i remember i bought a japanese school girl uniform for $14 Shipped, my friend bought in thailand and
sent it to me.

________________________________________________________________________________

Anyways im going to cosplay as Chii from Chobits for my convention.. The outfit, im debating to either make a dress, or just wear a long baggy t-shirt =] Going to make the ears.. already made a sample , hehe pretty good =] I'll post pictures of my outfit when i start, but i will draw out a sketch first to let you guys see what im thinking....



Im not sure if i should buy a wig... my hair is long already + going to be dying my hair light anyways.....
GAHHH idk what i want... I want black strikes in my hair as well.. >.< maybe wig... ummm idk haha
Barely just bought $50 worth of hair stuff =/ took me like an hour to debate if i wanted to buy it or not. And on top of that i did a mini shopping spree spent..$84.23, cause i haven't bought anything for a few months now... hehe.Im really hoping the bleach is good, i used thier regular products in the past and they were great.. but i fear lol. American products suck on my hair dry.gif
I bought
- 2 box Palty Vanilla Beige ( dam long hair)
- 1 box Palty Flash Bleach ( my roots are dark brown but the rest is light =] )
- 1 box Milk Tea ( in case its too light, spend over $50 and get free shipping)
- 1 GATSBY Moving Rubber Nuance Motion Mobile (kjhfgkdjhgkjfdg needed .52 cents to get free shipping so i got this =D last one!! PWHAHAHA )

Total:$52.91
I called every salon near by and asked for prices... etc wrote them down and compared...
I saved about $60 =D pluss i never been to a salon and got my hair done.. i don;t trust anyone but my self lol.

The last month i can buy stuff, after that save save for thailand/australia Already saved up $500...goal $10,000 sweatingbullets.gif

In my spree of shopping i bought the contacts for the cosplay
2 pairs for $33 Shipped (bought circle lens)

I really don't want to spend a lot for this, because mainly i just want to have a photoshoot for my photography album. Need new photography.. Need to get as much stuff in my art major so i can use it as part of my porfolio for colleges.

Mei Wei is love <3 i seem like a les... its okay =]




Sorry guys.. i ramble a lot =/
xdeathberry
^ lemme guess.
L2, light elf?
wearing Majestic? lol that's what it looks like anyway. happy.gif;

oh and thanks btw for the tip :3
never cosplayed, but I might in the .. far future when I have a lot of money. XD
Twilightforest
haha meiwei!!! her cosplays are so full of awesome, shes one of the few who dont smile in every photo, gives the glarey look instead lol! ^^
I think she did a dark elf as well. Theres a yutube video of a conv in china with a FULL group of lineage chars in perf gear. Pretty impresssive. Commend the girls for wearing so little...(its a lineage thing)

on a complete diferent note, castle seige is ultimate!!! Best feature of L2. I want to seige again!!!

its really cool that cg look. soft white skin(and the wide eyes thing) really does make the diference in photogenics.

as for chii I think yu should do the dress rather then the shirt

ooo thats really helpful! thanks ^^
have you bought from any of them before? o.o
<3 Kim
^ Ive bought from Cosplaywig once before, I got a Sailor Moon wig from them. Their shipping was pretty fast, got it in about 10 days (I ended up selling it again since I was super picky about my Sailor Moon wig and wanted it to be perfect :x)

Yup. I've bought from cosplaywig twice, and their shipping was pretty fast. It took about a week to a week and a half for both orders to reach my house.
I've ordered from cosworx before, too. It took a little longer than cosplaywig, but cosworx has more wigs to choose from.

Personally, I think it's much easier to get a wig. For example : If your having a bad hair day, and wig would be like insurance.

I should've posted in here earlier, but I forgot. DX

diru: You're going to be waiting for a long time. Anime North isn't until May. But I'll post my picture here though. x]

<3Kim: Thank God. ^^;
I'm not going to be getting my wig for a while though. I'm think of dying my hair brown to cosplay the movie Misa. But I'll still need the wig because I'll be cosplaying two different costumes.
Wow, you make a wonderful Misa! -Envies-
[RingoStarx3]
Friend found her old wig from halloween and let me have,took some pictures. I think i will get a wig, this one is only chest length. Also im wearing the blue lens i thought would work well with it, or should i just go for the dolly black type?



<3 Kim
^ I think the blonde wig really suits you with blue contacts, you look really pretty in it

diru
^ WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? I swear the one on the right is a guy straight to the bone! D:
daisie
^ I've just been trying to find a girlier picture to convince you but I don't think one exists, lol! She looks pretty curvy here though and maybe sort of girly in this purikura (at the bottom).

LOL I just found her on a Siwon x Hankyung forum. Oh Tao, HanChul is so much better. rolleyes.gif

They're both fans of SJ-M! smile.gif






I think I found Tao's Youtube account too. It has vids of Irvy in her Roxas (Kingdom Hearts II) costume!

#1 - playing with a keyblade and kissing the camera! :3 (I think maybe that's Tao giggling in the background)

#2 - being adorable

#3 / #4 - dancing on stage lmfaooo! <3

Have I ever posted her Roxas pics? Does anyone want to see them?


Bonus: Irvy is the prettiest person ever...



Fact! wub.gif
Di@na
I've a request ^^ Has anybody pics of this NANA Cosplay? I never saw Cosplayers who cosplayed those outfits..



Or just a the bigger version of this pic? In color and with more details (where you can see the whole dress of Hachi)?

Daisie>> Tao looks tiny XD Even with her platform shoes she looks shorter than the person next to her =P

Code Geass

Rozerico as Anya and Moka as Gino

^ I know, haha! They're both so chibi. :3

Wow, Rozerico makes an awesome Anya. smile.gif
Key
^Yup yup, and she has the camera too =D
diru
daisie: Still not convinced. Second picture looks girlish I admit but...no. LOL
Also, Irvy is pretty indeed but not the prettiest ever! But yeah I agree she is pretty.
daisie

Lol diru's in denial? XD

Yanji~ <3

Is she still cosplaying with Kin? Haven't see them together for quite awhile now..
daisie
^ He is indeed. XD

I miss Yanji cosplaying with Kin. Kin keeps changing the layout of her album but just has the two folders of old pictures.

She is such a TEASE. ;____;
