i'm out of ideas for cosplay ;A;
here are some photos of myself~
[1] [2]
well i'm kinnda busty so i can't go as loli or do crossplay.
sewing is my main skill; i want a really beautiful design, or a really fun one! i am willing to take a challenge~ oh, btw, don't you even think about saying rozen maiden.
i can buy a wig, that's not a problem either.

...help? ;;
You can crossplay, its just a bit harder and more painful. >.> Believe me...

It isn't that hard actually. You just have to have a picture of them in your head then go Sexy Jutsu with it! ^0^ I saw a Gaara, Kakashi, and Jiraiya Sexy Justsu's in one day! So I don't think it is that hard just as long as you have some items similar to the original character to allow people to identify them.

Looking for something quite elaborate and impress so please excuse the fussyness. ^^

5'5, female, 21 years old so I'm looking for older teen or adult characters. I'm an hourglass (43-32.5-43) so looking for something fitted; A-line dresses, jackets, nothing formless.

Sewing Skills: Very good, I can handle both heavy and light weight fabrics, bias, applique, gradient dyeing, etc.
Prop making skills: Average. Can work with wood, foam, heatmolded fabrics, latex, some metalwork but have limited tools. Especially good at hat making and small props. Would prefer to not have large props or armour as transporting them becomes tricky, staffs, swords etc are fine as they're easier to handle.
Previous Costumes: Ectvarr (N3), The Rain (CCS), fully tailored suit (pokemon Gijinka), Hotaru (.Hack), Belldandy (AMG), Butterfree kigurumi, Red Mage, Liete (Grandia). Won't list them all as there's quite a few. :3

Budget: Not an issue. Preferably less than £400.
Preferences: Must be elaborate, needs multiple skills to create. Looking for something of a higher skill level than Ectvarr.
Nothing skimpy, no crossplay as it doesn't suit me. Would prefer something with a hat or headpiece rather than a wig as they're more fun to make. Would also prefer dresses to suits. No steampunk or original characters.
Wig? y/n: Yes, any difficulty.
Colored contacts?: Yes, no sclera as I just can't handle them. ><
Series is not an issue really. I've looked through all the series I know for something good so now I'm looking outside what I know. Games generally have more elaborate costumes so I'm looking more towards that. Ideally JRPGs. ^^
Anything else?: Nothing basic, I'm looking for something as my next big project. Needs to be competition worthy. Even better if it's never been done before. :3

I'd suggest looking up Bizenghast. It's got amazing costume designs and I think you'd like them. (And I think the creator would appreciate the publicity!) It's not well known, so there are very few cosplays of it.

Is the creator and her designs are just stunning.
For a specific charcter I'd suggest Dinah or Ixi, since their designs are both elaborate and look difficult.
Hope I helped at all !

I know it says younger boys, but I'm thinkin Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts. With your hair, you could just spray it pink and obtain the cloak and boom your done. And even though he looks all manly, the way his fans make him, you shouldn't have to worry bout his actual character.

-Female
-16 years old but people say I look older.
-Around 5'6''
-Upper body skinny but around pelvis it goes wider.
-I have glasses. I can't be without them, also I look kinda funky without them.
-Currently I have mid short dark red hair. I'm willing to use wigs, but not long ones. I prefer bob haircut to shorter.
-I'd say my sewing skills are great, so I don't mind challenges.
-Budget is kinda whatever (After all I'm not paying it).
-I really do not want to cosplay: game characters, cute characters, or any really many times cosplayed ones (Naruto, Bleach, Hetalia....)
- Picture of me. Yes I have a chin mole but I cover it.
-My thread
Thank you if you can help me<3.

Previous Costumes:
Budget: I don't really have one, but let's just say I'm frugal xP I like to spend as little as I can, but I do want to look pretty good.
Preferences: Meh, don't really have any. Girls are preferred since binding hurts like a b***h with my boobs. I'm also looking into characters with glasses, cuz' I'm gunna be frikkin' BLIND this con @_@ However I'm up for anything, so suggest even if it's not in one of those categories.
Wig? y/n: Sure! I have a short blonde wig, a short brown wig, a long black wig, and a long blonde wig currently.

Colors you're drawn to: Typically I don't like bright colours, but if it's for cosplay I'm good with it.
Anything else?: My friends say I'm the cute one in the group, that it doesn't matter what I wear every day I look oh so cute. So cute characters might be more what you're looking for.

OK, I look like this (Silly picture I know smile ) and I like Yugioh, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy (1,7,10,and12), Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, La Portrait de Petite Cosette, Kiddy Grade (YAY!), Sailor Moon, Night Head Genesis, Death Note, Gakuen Alice, Naruto(Not Shipuden...), Kenshin, NightWalker(My personal Favorite), and many more I'm too lazy to post here. I know who I'm cosplaying for this upcoming convention but I'm going to another one out of state soon afterwords and I want to be adventurous. Any suggestions?

-Female
-15 but I can look older
-About 5'6
-bust ain't anything to brag about but I've got hips Crossplaying is something I may consider if I like the character design enough.

-My sewing skills . . . not so good. I do however have a mother who is willing to sew my costumes and worked as a costume maker for both SCA events and various local theaters.

-List of anime and manga I like
Miyazaki films
Bleach
Ouran
Soul-Eater
Shitsurakuen
Stray Love Hearts!
Barajou no Kiss
FMA
Maybe Hetalia(As an actual Lithuanian girl I've been jokingly considering cosplaying as Lithuania)

-Videogames I like
Harvest Moon
Ace Attorney
Kingdom Hearts
Most anyone from Super Smash Brothers

Moi~

I don't have any current pictures besides this because I just got a major haircut but if need be I'm sure I can take some for further reference.

I need new ideas.

Age: Teen/Young Adult
Body Type: some curves, mostly flat
Gender: Female
Skin: Tanish (depends on the season really)
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Personality: my mood varies. I can either by quiet and cold, or I can be obnoxious and crazy. NORMALY: sadistic, sarcastic, weird, crazy.
Previous Costumes: Deidara (the wig needs to be fixed), China (uniform version), Seychelles (island dress)
Working On: Vietnam, Soubi (Loveless) ?
Budget: I kinda want to keep it under a 100 bucks
Will Do: crossplays, wigs, odd make-up, prop making, military
Will not/ Cannot Do: contacts (too hard to get), girly-girls, super bright colors,
Favorite Anime:
-Naruto (thinking about cosplaying Konan)
-AOI House
-Pet Shop of Horrors
-Drama-Con
-07-Ghost
-Kuroshitsuji
-Spice and Wolf
-Oran High School Host Club
-Full Metal Alchemist
-Fruits Basket

Lots of other stuff~

Extra: Axis Powers Hetalia is my favorite anime, but I already cosplay two characters and I'm working on my third (Vietnam). I would love to cosplay characters that are either not very well known/seen often, or come from an unknown source. I want to start sewing my costumes so please no ideas that are too complicated to make. Please PM me with ideas. Thank You!!

I need new ideas. {And everything else you said}


Hmmm~ First off-- I love you for reading AOI House. <3
Second-- Perhaps Kagura? It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult.
I also love you for watching SPice and Wolf <3 Unfortunately, I think Holo's outfits would build up to a hefty sum. Otherwise...

Sorry if I was absolutely no help at all :3
