	I've never commissioned a cosplay before. I'm very new to cosplay in general. Is 200 dollars + shipping too much for a Milk Chan cosplay? This is who I'm considering to make my cosplay: https://www.facebook.com/BabiCosplay/ heart whee

This is who I'm considering to make my cosplay: https://www.facebook.com/BabiCosplay/ heart whee I haven't commissioned a cosplay before from someone either. However, I have ordered my Zero (Vampire Knight) cosplay online with custom sizing instead of generic sizing to fit me. It cost me about $200 as well and the quality was great! I also have friends who paid that same amount or much more for commissions by another cosplayer. Therefore, I think $200 commissioned by another cosplayer is reasonable, especially -from what I can tell from her work- that it matches her skill level to make those kinds of cosplays.

	Hi ToothFairySenpai, Just today I was checking out one of my Cosplay Friends Facebook page and she does Cosplay Commissions for $200 and she makes her own outfits for $200 as well. Keep in mind that depending on what Cosplay Outfit, the Cosplayer, and the level of Cosplay Outfit creation all need to be considered when doing a Commission. So $200 is a good baseline to start with and based on what I mentioned above the amount can go up or down. Good luck on doing your Cosplay Commissions and know that you are doing a wonderful service for someone else. smile

	$200 is a reasonable deal on a character like Miku since she has a lot of detail to her.
