Hi there fellow cosplayers~
I know there are some people who may be drastically searching for a seamtress, or possibly a place to purchase a pre-made costume, so I gathered some of the sites that I know of that are dependable, fast, and fairly priced for the product they give you.
For those who are in search of pre-made costumes can visit these links:
Running out of time? No time for any costumes? Try checking these places out!
www.Cosunion.com Costumes/Commission AvailableIn ChinaSample Picture (Cosplay): N/AThis site has ALOT of costumes, so I can't write down the prices for everything... *BE AWARE, THEY ARE AN ART THIEF*
My Rating for this site: 2/5- Very wide selection; Although is known to be an image thief.
- Decent prices, not really sure if they knew the costumes they had.
- Sort of not fluent in typing in Commission e-mails.

This place is more expensive than the others in my opinion, but they have some things others don't have.My Rating for this site: 4 out 5- So-so selection; WIDE array of EGl
- Overly priced costumes, but come with accessories
- Some costumes that other places don't have
- Excellent customer service; fluent in English
www.qqcosplay.com Costumes/Commission AvailableIn ChinaSample Picture (Cosplay):http://www.qqcosplay.com/HRT/img/hrtafkmic01.jpgMy Rating for this site: 4/5- Wide selection in the more popular series
- Prices are decent, Costumes are all identified correctly (Opposed to Cosunion)
- Apparently not fast in e-mail and typing is hard to read.
www.lawrarashop.com Costumes/Commission AvailableIn ChinaSample Picture (Cosplay): http://lawrarashop.com/images/blue1.jpgThis one is my favorite so far, and they are very nice and quick on delivery. They are currently having a 10%-70% discount (Depending on the products) on everything, and I think on commissions too. They work around real school girl uniforms, but have some cosplay. I ordered a commission from them, and it the quality of it is great. So, please check them out! :3*UPDATE* Some new cosplay costumes came in, and they look pretty nice! ^^
My Rating for this site: 5/5- Small selection, but is trustworthy (In my opinion)
- A bit pricey, but for a good costume.
- Fluent in e-mails, and can work things out well.
www.cosmates.jpEGL/Costumes AvailableIn China or Japan?Sample Picture (Cosplay): http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/images/products/B-001.jpgSample Picture (EGL): http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/images/products/gothic736_big.jpg This site specializes in Gothic Lolita, and any of the other types of Lolita. They are a bit pricey for some of their dresses, but they are all beautiful and detailed. As for their cosplay department, anime/games costumes are WAY over priced, so I suggest not purchasing it there, for commissioning it from one of the other sites will be alot nice to your wallet.
BUT! They have some costumes such as school girl outfits, school girl P.E. uniforms, and drag queens and nurse outfits that are cheap (around 30 - 50) dollars that look pretty decent. So, girls, if you like to dress up for "fun", you can check out their stock in clothing now!My Rating for this site: 4/5 (For EGL)- Wide selection for EGL, and other Japan dress styles
- Decent prices on EGL, EXPENSIVE on anime/game costumes, various cheap other "dress up" items.
- Can ship World-Wide

- Decent prices on EGL/Cosplay stuff
- Is very easy to understand, all the information is there for you.

They have great quality in work and are situated in Canada. They also do commissions, so if you don't see something you like, you can always request something! I would recommend them as a reliable source to get it from. Although a it pricey, it can be worth it. :3

http://www.limebarb.com Costumes/Commission AvailableIn USASample Picture (Cosplay): http://limebarb.com/commissions/costumes/game/game-tifa-ac/tifa.htmI have heard alot of mixed emotions from this particular commissioner. I have heard of some good reviews, but I've seen some pretty bad threads about them. I wouldn't really know how to rate it since it seems like a bit hard to tell.
My Rating for this site: Undetermined - Their gallery of MANY cosplays is what entices alot of cosplayers to buying from Limebarb.
- Prices aren't placed online so you can see, but you can ask for a quote.
- Very organized site, easy to understand and maneuver around.
Happy shopping to everyone~ :3
Note: I'll be updating this main post to let everyone in at anything that's available to you~ If you want to share some of other cosplay sites, just feel free to post, and I'll add it onto this main post! Thanks for taking the time to read and in general, look at all the pretty cosplays!NOTE: ALL THE FOLLOWING PICTURES POSTED AS SAMPLES ALL BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS
