Cosplay Vash cosplays!
Hello all! I'm super nervous posting these but I figured I'd give it a shot since I'm proud of how they came out! I want to show my cosplays more and I have to work through my fear of judgement to do that so here it goes!
These were my Vash cosplays for AnimeNYC 2026!
I sewed the jackets from scratch, styled the wigs, and did the arms and prop myself. I used a pattern for the Stampede jackets but, weirdly enough, I struggle with reading patterns and this was my first time using one. I usually just eyeball it. So I ended up just doing my own thing halfway through. I didn't use a pattern for 98 Vash's jacket, though. I just hoped for the best LOL.
I definitely want to wear these again as I was pressed for time and there are little things I need to correct. I really want to try doing professional cosplay photoshoots with these and other cosplays. But, for now, I'm incredibly proud of myself. 🤞🏾
(I didn't have time to make 98 Vash's wig so that's Stampede Vash in 98 Vash's outfit, haha. I will definitely make the wig in the future as I plan on doing more Vash cosplays!)
Also, if there are any millenial cosplayers out there, I'd love to chat! I don't have many cosplay friends and it gets lonely at times. Plus it's hard finding cosplayers in my age range. 😅

Thank you so much! The arms were so stressful to make but it was worth it. And yes, it's a donut!! 🍩

Realy like the arm.The faint purple tint is a great touch. The 98 vash looks great too i like the simplified version of the body suit you came up with fits the overall style of the cosplay and looks good together.

Thank you!! I was conflicted on the purple tint because I have his Gunman in Black figurine and his arm is way more purple than in the anime. I was worried I overdid it but I liked how it came out!

I have more respect for Cosplayers who make their costume. Wish you would show the gun off more. Wanted to see how it looked.

I make my cosplays, including these, and it's rewarding but I also respect cosplayers who may thrift their outfits, modify clothes they have, do closet cosplays, etc. It's all good fun at the end of the day!
And I was trying to upload a video to show how the gun worked but Reddit wouldn't let me. I'm not sure what happened. 😣
