Title: Last-minute cosplays?
Post by: Chloe on May 20, 2007, 01:32:13 PM
Fanime is only 5 days away... Any daredevils making any last minute cosplays to wear?  You know how that crunchtime can get you started. I'm helping 3 of my friends think of some last minute cosplays:

- Haruhi from Ouran
- Phoenix Wright
- ???

So, anyone rushing around just to find something?

Happened to me, had to scrap my only costume and pull something outta my... hat >.> With the suggestions of so many helpful people at the Cosplay.com boards. Instead of Farfarello I'm doing two un-anime costumes that I was able to piece together from other costumes I had. I'm just finishing the last stitch of one of my masks this very moment.

I just decided to add Hokuto to my roster a few days ago, and it's more work than I thought converting my Subaru cosplay to Hokuto. So I've been doing a lot of running around searching for pieces, in addition to making sure I've got my other four all in place and ready. *phew!*

Do what I did... sit down on the sewing machine whenever you have time... XD; And although I shouldn't be saying this... only study for whatever finals you feel you really need to. If you have a decent grade.. (say a B), you can practically bomb your finals and come out ok... >.>;
(<- is being a bad role model... -.-; )

<-made hers in three days... XD;

^_^ I agree; I definitely work best under high pressure. Too much time makes me think I don't have to do anything, and it never gets done. This week, I'll be in my element, combining final projects with finishing cosplays and getting together my panel. Fanime, here I come! ^_^

I am still pondering one cosplay, Ootori Kyouya from Ouran because I have the hair and glasses for it. I doubt it. If not Fanime then probably YC or something.

I still have to sew on my Bodaiju jacket a bit, but it should not take too long. I also have to somehow convince my dad to take me to a store to get black lace gloves.


I also need to pack, but I have all I can do without my Bodaiju cosplay being finished.

w00t! I'm finished with all my cosplays, with the exception of my masquerade mask. Oh, and tweaking my Haruhi ribbon so that it looks right. And gluing a ribbon to a hat. The major stuff is all done though ^_^

All that's left is to pack all five of my outfits, along with normal clothes for trips back and forth, my prom dress, and all sorts of accessories in a suitcase, put it in my car, and somehow still have room for four other people's stuff.

Yes, yes it can. DX I have to do a few small seams on something while driving up there. It's gonna suck, but I know I'll get it done satisfactory that way. Woo!
