I was also thinking of doing one of the ladies from Samurai 7 also.

I would do Heihachi, but I know that I can't pull off a guy very well;).

Well... i will have some eer... issues posing as a guy too... but i have gotten some great advise on how to eerm... make it not so ...obvious that i'm a chick...

Post by: risingphoenix13 on June 02, 2006, 04:25:18 PM
I have... But the advice I got doesn't really help with being a little on the top heavy side.

There's the sport's bra way (minimizes but doesn't get rid of it entirely). I think someone suggested bondage tape. I have a sneaking suspicion that it would have the similar effect as a sports bra... and would be really sweaty since it's mostly made out of PVC.

But maybe I'll give crossplaying Heihachi a try.:)

I hope that you can try either of those out and see how it works for you.

so i have like a between a C and a D and what you do is you get a sports bra that's 1 or two sizes to small.. (small enough that it's confining, but large enough that you can breath) then after you got that you ~also~ bind yourself... you just use packing tape.. (like that clear stuff... or you can use bandage cloth... ) it all works the same.. i did that and i was down to a very small A... so it does work... with my outfit over all that you couldn't tell i had a chest.... Lol.. it's like on Swim team.. when we put on our suits, there's like nothing there.. lol

Post by: risingphoenix13 on June 02, 2006, 04:36:38 PM
Awesome. Thanks. I didn't think about wrapping myself after putting on the sports bra. I'm at D so I definitely feel the same pain. I'll remember that.

Now, if only to find a pic or pattern to make the costume (I don't know how to make patterns).:(

Post by: Kegan_Flame on June 02, 2006, 04:40:24 PM
Well... last con, i cosplayed as Rosette From Chrno Crusade... what i did for a pattern was find a costume with a similar shape and use that pattern, then i just modified it a bit...

if you buy the DVD's they come with these lil booklets on the inside.. they have really good sketches of all the parts of each character's outfits.. that's what i'm using for Kyuzo.. and a few drawings i made off of the movie itself..

Post by: risingphoenix13 on June 02, 2006, 04:43:09 PM
Hmm... Good point. Otherwise I think I would be SOL. Maybe I should have taken those fashion design classes when I was at art achool.;)

I'll have to take another look at Heihachi's outfit. I think we might actually have the sketch in one of the Samurai 7 DVDs that we own.

Haha... i have an uncle who sews so he kinda showed me the ropes.. a lot of it was just "winging" it though... lol....

yeah.. i'm not sure what DVD had Heihachi in it.. it's not 4 or six (i have those with me right now... lol.. i'm thinking it was # 5... that;s where Kyuzo's was too...

Nuts, we're only at 3. Well, I'm sure I'll see it (hopefully) with enough time to figure it out. Thanks for the help. This is my first time with planning and doing cosplay.

I'll see if Gorobei is doable for me but I can't make any promises right now.  Btw this is for the non-crossdressing version.  ^^;;

Title: Cosplay....
Post by: BSaphire on October 01, 2006, 10:48:04 AM
Ok... I am very interested in this gathering, both to shoot it and to be in it *giggles. If I cosplay I will be a suporting character... don't know who yet, but I was considering crossplaying as the clone prince *giggles... I think as the new year comes around that there will be more interest in this gathering, so check on it once or twice a month.

As a suggestion... when you set the time for this gathering, please do not do it the day of the cosplay/masq. I may have a few more peeps for it, but we are all tied up in a big project and the project has it's gathering the same day as the cosplay masq because of makeup and costume issues. It will be way to hard for some of us to change costumes.

Just a suggestion.
Till next time....

Hmmm, you pulled me in. I'm still debating on a third cosplay, and I never thought of considering Samurai7 before, even though I love it bunches. If I settle on it, I'd either want to do Yukino or Kiara.

Well, I will definately be doing Yukino. I have to look at Kiara's outfit in more detail though. It might be a little more tricky to pull off since I'm not the most experienced sewer. But still leave me as a maybe for Kiara.

I'm planning on making Kirara's outfit (most likely for SacAnime and/or the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival if I can to go both or either). If I end up doing this costume, I'll bring it to Fanime.

So please count me in for Kirara. :) :) :)

PS: Will any of you be at SacAnime or the SF Cherry Blossom Festival?

Hey, do we know what day we're going to be gathering yet? I'm just trying to plan for other days so friends can find me in the right cosplays on certain days. ^^;

And goodness, I hope we get more to join in. It'd be such a blast.

I wanted to say that you can add at least one if not two rice people to the list :P
The two who are going to cosplay them are not on any of the forums, and I will be making the costumes.
This is a "Supporting Cast" cosplay year! Rice pleebs, Soul Society pleebs, Legend of Zelda pleebs.... Lets hear it for the supporting cast *YEAH!!!
