Good Cosplay Tips

Cosplay is becoming important movement for lots of parties. Cosplay is not careless to find cosplay costumes and wearthem on your body. Cosplay is the good chance to express your personal character from anime, games, move, or TV. So here are some tips to chose your role.

Research: No matter how well you assume you know your character choice; it is always advisable to gather as much information as possible. Make use of reference pictures from all sources available. This can range from visiting the main website dedicated to the show, to browsing through fan sites, or even re-watching the series again. Compare notes; for where one site can have an outfit showing up as blue, another can have the same outfit showing up as indigo.

Time: Give yourself the time to prepare your costume. Outfits thrown together at the last minute give the impression that you are not dedicated enough. Be aware of loose hems and seams. Good hemming makes your costume look less shoddy and reduces the risk of it unraveling. Press seams (with or without steam depending on the fabric) to reduce the risks of bunching, puffing or puckering. Make sure the costume fits and is sewn to fit your proportions. This reduces the need to hot glue any part of your costume at the last minute. These can melt easy especially if the convention is held under hot conditions.

The Right Fabric: Choose appropriate fabric to fit with the role of the character you are playing. For instance, school girl costumes would require light cotton material. Do not use satin or heavy wool; textures that do not match. If your costume calls for a skin tight design, make sure you use stretchable fabric that gives you the ability to move easily without being too uncomfortable.

Choosing the Right Wig: Be sure to have the right color and style of wig for your character.Although some cosplayers choose to actually dye their hair, it is not usually recommended. You can find cheap, inexpensive wigs at Halloween or costume shops. However, if you want something to last for a long time, then choosing wigs from beauty shops might be the better investment, even if they do cost a little more. Transport your styled wig on a Styrofoam wig head (these can be purchased at a beauty shop) and place it in a wig or hat box filled with Styrofoam 'peanuts' for extra protection. Read and follow instructions on the wig packet for proper maintenance for they can be reusable.
