Title: What kinds of costumes are welcome?
Post by: aeonwolfe on May 16, 2016, 08:38:27 PM
Hi...so I've never been to con before...

I want to wear a costume but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. I have a Xena (from the tv show) costume I cobbled together last fall and its not super fancy or anything...would I be out of place compared to most costumes? I know a bunch of friends are wearing anime costumes or comic book costumes so I wasn't sure.

Thanks!!  :)

Anything is fair game, as long as it's within Fanime Code of Conduct:

The only place you'll really see "theme" restrictions are at gatherings for specific fandoms.

Have a great time at Fanime!

Yep. As long as it's with in the rules it's ok.
As far as what you'll see, you'll see mostly anime related, but you'll see a bit of everything. From video games, Doctor Who, Star Wars/Trek, to random Furries.

One of the great things about a convention as large as Fanime is the variety you get with it. All kunds of costumes from all sorts of fandoms and in a huge assortment of skill level.

I'm sure plenty of people would love to see Xena, myself included.

Yeah, pretty much anything as long as it's not over-the-top revealing. Oh, and be sure to wear shoes, even if the costume doesn't require them!! (You can always wear slip ons to remove during photos ^^ ) Cause, last time I checked, Fanime requires that you wear shoes. XD
