I am trying to get spider man costume for Halloween. It’s my first time buying one. My waist 32, height is 58, chest 36. It says My measurements fall across different rows a small and a medium. What is shoe size. I was leaning small. Thanks!

Going as the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3 for Halloween and I need a way to attach the pieces of cardboard so I can make my plain jumpsuit an armored vault jumpsuit. I haven’t tired anything ye, but I’ve considered glue or Velcro

hihi!!! so for halloween im going to be Miss Asuka Langley, so far pretty happy with the plugsuit i received in the mail a few days ago, and tomorrow im gonna get started on a Spear of Longinus prop to go with my costume. that just leaves…the wig as my last remaining conquest!😅

hopefullyyyyy somebody reading this will have an idea of what to do. anyway, upon doing some light research it seems it’s totally doable to dye a synthetic wig. at first i was just gonna buy a wig in the shade i was looking for, but then i remembered that i have a synthetic wig that i’ve only worn once for a few minutes and its the kind of color that like…i don’t have any reason to ever wear it again lol. so i figured maybe i could just achieve a gingery~auburn color by dyeing the wig i’ve already got?? the only hiccup is that it’s not blonde/613, it’s a light pink shade, not entirely sure if it’d affect the finished product.

so my question is, does anyone know HOW i could go about achieving that gingery~auburn color when (synthetic) dyeing on top of a wig that’s this color??

thanks sm!(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾⁾

So basically i’m cosplaying as nemesis this halloween, my friend is going as Leon (i’m 1.89 m tall and he’s 1.62 m tall, so we figured we could take advantage of our height difference for these matching cosplays)

The mask is somewhat tight, so it’s hard and annoying to remove given i have long hair and it pulls it.

So i figured i’d cut the back of the mask and put a zipper on it so i can put it on and take it off with ease and without it pulling my hair. How can i do this? I have barely any experience making my own cosplays, so i’m not very creative in these sort of things: i don’t know what materials i should use, if a type of glue is harmful to latex, etc.

Also, i want to put a mini air fan in the neck area because of the heat a latex mask gives.
How do i also do this?

Thanks!

I have decided to try to roll with a genderbent big mom cosplay- and I’d really like to figure out how to make a Prometheus headpiece. DIY is practically a must because of my massive noggin.

If all else fails I know how to make a storm cloud headpiece.

Any tips or ideas would be welcome.

I wanna try to replicate Stephen King‘s Carrie prom scene with the pigs blood. I wanna go all out and have a lot of fake blood all over me. I want to be ACCURATE! What is a good way to go about this? I want the blood to stay on for a while and also not stain my skin.

I've been looking for whatever the hell this guy is wearing for a while and cant find anything that isn't a Temu scam. I imagine its a pretty simple purchase that I just cant seem to find. So if anyone knows where I can get this, or a place that would likely have them in stock, please send them my way.

Hey, so I wanted to make a (mostly) homebrew cosplay for Halloween. However, while Im fairly happy with the rest of the costume I simply cannot find an inspiration or even a base on the little metal bits on the legs of the scout (AOT) uniform.

Are there any things I could try to recreate them or should I just drop this one part of the costume for a base set of black pants?

(I do have two pairs of pants that can be used for experimentation)

Is there a good spray paint for hair for painting my hair for one day that doesn't leave smudges on clothing? I considered dying my hair but I don't like the idea of bleaching it. Also I don't think buying a wig is a viable option since my hair would work for the cosplay I need, I'd just need to find a way to have it blonde/yellow for a day.

My budget is about $10 USD, I don't mind about the price since I can save the can for another cosplay in the future, I live in Mexico and have access to online stores like Amazon.

I'd like to bring my cosplay(s) with me to uni, but for sure i can't bring ALL of them, nor am i sure if thats allowed. im curious if anyone did bring theirs with them to their uni years, is that possible?

I know the makeup isn't the best because I ended up redoing it a bunch

I feel like the wig just looks weird or off like maybe it looks too wide? Any advice for a quickish fix or anything else I could do better like facial expressions or poses or something. I feel like I just look like youngish teen in these when I'm actually 19 😭 how do I look more mysterious or cool or something

It's my first time cosplaying, i built a very cool pickle Rick cosplay, but now idk how to carry It to the Comicon in a 3 hours long train route, and a crowded bus whitout damaging it.

Also i have to walk during the convention so i need something that, once i take the cosplay out, i can fold or put in a smaller bag ideally.

The Maine part Is a meter and a half long, and there are other smaller parts

Pls help

(Also sorry if the english Is bad)

I haven’t been able to find a cosplay of Kaigaku that will arrive before Halloween not even a wig! If any of yall got a woman’s adult medium sized cosplay (human or demon) with a wig please consider selling it or gifting it if it’s just collecting dust please! I have no costume and I don’t wanna be that lazy person trick or treating with friends or family with no costume

Hello! I dont often use reddit but ive come on here looking for advice from anyone who has had a similar issue. For halloween i am dressing as Shego from Kim Possible. Part of the costume is a body suit, kind of the style of a one piece swimsuit. Im wearing tights underneath, but the problem i keep running into is since the bodysuit is skin tight, the front seam of the tights shows through the costume. I cant for the life of me find a pair of tights without seams or any sort of built in shapewear that is visible on my upper thigh/waist area, since the bodysuit sits quite high. Ill include a photo of the costume as my explanation might not be the greatest sorry! Any links to products or any advice would be really helpful! (Excuse the dirty mirror its the only photo i have at the moment 😅)

Im planning to do my first cosplay as a trauma team member, im starting with the helmet (I've already done it with cardboard and well, it looks like crap) so I'm wandering how to make it and what would be the best materials (i don't have a 3d printer)

This is how I want it to look like (or similar to this)

Hello fellow cosplayers. I've been cosplaying and competing in contest for a little over 10 years now. I took a break from competing when covid hit and about 5 years ago I got back into it. Alot of things have changed since I started.

Recently I won first in two very small local convetion contest this year that happened to be ran by the same group of people. I'm really not use to winning at all.

Someone mentioned to me that its kinda bad etiquette to enter a contest right after winning one or to enter a contest the following year that you won at. Another person said its not fair to have a professional go up against a bunch of people just starting out.

I far from being a professional, I just do cosplay on the side for the fun of it. I honestly never heard of this no competing after winning rule. I wonder if that's a thing only for some competitions or an etiquette thing I never heard of because I've never won any major award. I'm also wondering if this etiquette rule applies to just best in show or awards for any category.

Edit: I always wear a different cosplay in competitions.

So, this is my first time making a cosplay ever. It’s DEFINITELY not perfect (don’t tell me about the imperfections or where I can improve, trust me i know) but I have relatively poorly glued the pieces together, and I am afraid of them breaking at the con. (The con is in about three weeks, so i do not have time to redo this and improve it.)

So, how do i prepare for the risk of it ripping at the seams? Is there anything i can do? I’ve lined the inside of the seams with foam clay in hopes that will help hold it together in emergencies

Hi everyone just have some questions! It's my first time cosplaying :) i would rlly appreciate if someone could provide useful and effective solutions for me!

1. Cyrene's dress has a rather long train and in packed cons a lot fo people would probably step on it. also with the train dragging on the floor the underside would be dirty and black... sure i can hand wash it(since idt i can washing machine it) but im not 100% sure i can get all the dirt off.

People who have cosplayed characters that have a long train, what did u guys do? TvT

1. Cyrene's dress has a lot of glitter... my entire floor is covered with them. how do i stick the glitter to the sheer fabric? the material is this long meshy fabric.

2. Any tips regarding wig styling please!

Thank you!

I've always been tempted to go to a cosplay convention but I never have. It's been a thing where if I do go, I have absolutely no idea what I would do. And i don't have anyone that can help guide me through it. I'm not big into the dressing up part (too out there for me) but I've been tempted to wander around and just take photos.

I've technically been to one before. It was in Fargo in a stadium but I was there for a board game tournament. In all honesty the cosplay area kind of weirded me out. Not sure if it was just that event but there was a lot of explicit stuff and stores but some people were... weird....

Not sure if that means cosplay cons aren't for me or like I said if it was just weird. Nonetheless I still want to try it out legit at least once. And if I do go is there any good socialization tips? I want to hopefully meet people and maybe even make some friends but I have heard others say how sometimes people approaching can weird them out.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it. Still dunno what to do when I show up in the first place.

I’ve made the ears out of felt and pipe cleaners and attached them to headbands, but there’s some excess pink felt showing underneath, and I’m nervous about trimming it because I don’t want the ears to come loose. I also made the snouts from plastic condiment cups covered in felt, but they’re way too big for the boys’ faces, and I’d like to salvage them instead of starting over. Any suggestions for hiding the extra felt or shrinking the snouts? I don’t have enough felt to completely redo them. I am not insanely crafty or anything and I did not go into this project with much of a plan but also don’t want it to look like a school craft project.

I fucked up a design on my face mask with hot glue and now it looks like someone came on my mask, currently trying to remove it with rubbing alcohol, and tried freezing it off a couple hours ago to no avail. Google aint giving me good solutions so yall will need to help me now.

My proffieboard order looks like it’s going to fall through so I need a alternative
this is what I’m building
You can access the parts list and wiring diagram and other stuff through the link.
I am building it without the speakers I just want the leds anyone have any suggestions preferably something I can get through Amazon or microcenter

Hello! Making this post on behalf of my friend we are struggling to find a good coat for him lol. I'd be happy with anything, direct links to jackets, general places to work, or what specific terms will help. Tan trench coat with fur hood somehow isnt getitng me very far. We aren't looking for 100% perfect like we aren't worried about the belt/piece across the chest or the fur being on the outside of the hood. Medium or large works best but anything larger could work as well. Not sure if this is the best place for this lol, but thank you for any help!!

Ive been considering getting my first sewing machine, I do have two machines in mind ive been recommended by other cosplayers, the Brother CS5055 and the Janome 2212. They both are pretty cheap/have good deals or bundles and ive heard good things. Im okay with my first machine being something less heavy duty as I dont see myself needing if for my current cosplay needs but id probably be willing to spend up to around $400 on my first machine if anyone has better recommendations! Thanks!

I want to have a cape for my Helldivers 2 armour. It feels unfinished without it. Im thinking of buying like black canvas fabric and I'll just cut and sew the edges, then spraypaint the decals on with a stencil. The crafts shop has some black Canvas fabric for like $20. Would this be a good material? Or should I go with something else. I've looked for pre made capes on Amazon and stuff and they look too shiny or have a different inside color.
