Does anyone have any cosplay ideas that can be worn in hot weather? It's VERY hot where I live, and the cosplay I prepared for an event will be impossible to wear because it has too many layers of clothing. I've already gotten sick in cooler weather, so this one will be unfeasible.

Since the event is approaching, I'd like ideas for characters with light and colorful clothing, but that aren't too sexualized. It can be any gender, age, etc. And the only thing I'd like to be considered is the number of layers and, of course, whether it will be too difficult to wear on a hot day.

I don't have a problem with works I'm not yet familiar with, as I think I can catch up in time before the event.

Sorry if this sounds strange, English is not my native language.

Hello i am a 17 year old male and am about 5’8” tall and just under 150 pounds, i wanna dress as Pinkie Pie from mlp for Halloween, preferable her pony form but humanoid would be acceptable. I have no expirence cosplaying or anything to do with costumes. I do not watch the show, and am just looking for recomendations about where i can either get a good looking costume or where i can get things that would work as part of a Pinkie Pie costume.

Thank you very much for any help.

I'm looking to cosplay Medkit from the roblox game 'Phighting' this year for halloween, I've never cosplayed before so I want to get a head start and get some of the things I need now. However I'm having trouble finding pants like his and his little thing around his neck, I'm not a big fashion / clothes guy so I don't even know what to call these, any help?

1.) Has anyone seen/have pics of a custom with the steel blue color? That's the color of the middle color palette, and I'm concerned it might be too colorful IRL

2.) Which color scheme do you people think looks best?

Hello,

Has anyone used cosplaylight and had a good experience?

I wanted a costume and they had it as well as meowcos. I read a lot of bad things about meowcos and couldn't find a whole lot about cosplaylight but a couple of people said they used it and were happy. So I went with them.

The costume says it's in stock in my size and will ship in 1-3 days. I waited 3 weeks and reached out. They told me they didn't have it in my size and needed an additional 15-20 days to process it before shipping and that they could send a different costume. They said they would keep me updated but I haven't heard anything and it's been another 13 days.

They also have a strict cancelation policy in which you can't after 24 hours.

Im starting to wonder if I've been scammed and should fight it with my bank. I've never had anything take a month and a half to ship, even when I've done a custom size. They only have about 500 followers on social media too and no reviews really.

Hello! I’m wanting to do a maki cosplay and wanted to know how to do her scars. I’m not really trying to do anything crazy but I want it there. Does anyone have a good tutorial that’s comfortable? And easy to do to yourself? And what kind of material should I get? Body paint? A powder?

Edit: This is specifically for Maki from JJK! I forgot to specify which character I would add a reference photo but I cannot add one after posting this.

i want to be a cute bug for Halloween. does anybody have costume ideas that are buggy? correct insect anatomy, not over dramatic for scares

I'm looking to buy this cosplay off of Doki Doki: 【Size S-3XL】DokiDoki-SR Game Cosplay Costume Red Coat White Dress Hall – dokidokicosplay

and I was so ready to buy it but I noticed that because it is "Not ready to ship" it may take up to 120 days?! I need this by November so that would obviously not work for me, but I was wondering how long other people had to wait for their cosplays to arrive. Should I take the risk and buy it anyways?

I've cosplayed Spider-Folk before, Bombastic Bagman and OG Scarlet Spider, but have never needed a *proper* Peter Parker Spider-Man mask until now. What is the best path forward if I am looking for a decent mask that leans more comic inspired than MCU? I'm not wanting to spend $200 on a display ready replica, but I'm not limited to Spirit Halloween level either. I would like to prioritize visibility if possible, for Scarlet I had magnetic lenses I could pop off as needed and that was a solid way to walk around if needed in high traffic areas. Thanks!

So I came across these 2 products which I think are the same.

https://m.miccostumes.com/qwxx-Goddess-of-victory-NIKKE-Privaty-Cosplay-Costume-Maid-Dress-with-Apron-and-Stockings-275447p.html

I read another post that doki doki and miccostumes are resellers of Chinese products. If that's true I'd like to know if there's a superior one. If you follow the link you'll see there's a 2x price difference but the products seems to be the same. Can anyone advise on this?

Thank you very much!

Hello all! First time poster here!

I am in search for a good budget friendly spider man (Peter Parker) mask. My partner and I are planning on cosplaying Spider Man and Black Cat. The mask that came with the suit I got just feels so suffocating (it doesn’t help that it’s built into the suit) any recommendations / links? I’ve also heard face shells work wonders so if you guys have any good links for those as well!

I’ve been going out in my local neighborhood as Spider-Man. (in a pretty cool suit) Taking pictures with people, saying hi to passing cars, interacting with people in character, making people laugh. I’m also a Photographer! (like peter). I enjoy doing it because it makes people happy and makes me fulfill my dream of being Spider-Man (without the webs/swinging).
I want to know what do you guys think of this? I think it’s great but I do have to question my safety because who knows who i’ll run into.

Hi everyone! I've been sewing for just over a year (but pretty much non stop lol) and I've been using my mum's Lucznik 438 from 1985, but as I'm moving out I'm in search of a machine of my own. I'm currently looking at second hand machines as I don't want to spend too much.

Right now I'm sewing all kinds of things: cosplays, casual clothes, corsets using all types of fabric from silk and organza to thick upholstery? fabric, you can see some of my works in the first photo.

I've heard that older machines are supposed to be better because of their metal parts, but I also want the pretty decorative stitches that newer models offer, I feel like I'd use them, even though I know technically I only "need" straight and zigzag stitches.

Here are some of the machines I've been eyeing and I'd love some feedback, but any other suggestions are more than welcome too!

The brother nx200 is being sold by a sewing machine technician in the city I'm moving to so I'm guessing it should be in great condition as he says.

The singer brilliance 6180 is in a city farther away which is not really a problem but I've read some not too great reviews about it that have me wondering if it's worth the money.

The pink Singer 2002 (I think) had me really excited and I almost decided on it but the seller isn't very cooperative and when I asked if the machine works and has its accessories like a pedal at least they just said that everything is shown in the photos and this is the only photo that shows the machine, the others are close-ups of the Singer logo and after farther questions they just said it comes with a case and a cable and I'm suspecting they just got it from a flea market and don't actually care or know anything about it and I was also planning on going to one too to check if I find anything.

Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance to anyone that comments!

tldr: help me choose a decent not too expensive sewing machine for all kinds of projects

Does anyone know how I would be able to make a Captain America shield like this for a cosplay/halloween costume? It’s for the “Bucky rescue Cap suit” I’m making but I don’t 100% know how to go about making it.

I was thinking maybe finding a plastic tub and cutting it to shape or maybe buying a metal sheet or something but I’m not sure if it would work.

I’ve seen people reuse medieval Sheild but all the one I can find are either foam, too expensive, the wrong shape, isn’t smooth, or from some extremely obscure site that I’m not comfortable buying from.

I also have a time from I need the Sheild before October 5 so it bing done a week in advance would be nice.

If anyone has anyone please let me know any help is appreciated.

Doing my first cosplay, still got more to do. How does it look?

Hi everyone! I need some help- I am a first-time cosplayer and tried to at-home styling and fix a blonde wig for a Ben drowned cosplay. I know I went wrong but I’m not sure how, any and all help is appreciated. I included the reference photo and all four sides of the wig.

I'm trying to make a Civi Bruce Wayne cosplay but I've only got the mask and hat, and im buying the coat in the first pic but idk where to get the rest of the outfit.

Can yall help me find the stuff????

My budget is around £200 and im in the uk

Hi! My 12 year old daughter wants to try and make a Squirrel Girl cosplay based on a... combination of the three versions attached. I'm... very limited in my abilities, though I've made costumes through the years, I can't sew so my cosplays end up being kind of... piece meal from parts I find separately.

Any suggestions for this? You'll help me be the best dad in the world?

So I am trying to do Romeo and cindarella shizuku. The problem is I have no Idea how to do the bottom of the skirt. I know I need to dye it and add lace. Also how exactly should I add the sleeves?

Would a wig like https://kasouwig.com/products/s-5-ka008?VariantsId=12832 be good enough? Sorry I am completely new lol :p
I thought I could add some semi-permanent yellow hair dye, but is that possible on wigs like this?
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! jarona

EDIT: or should i wear yellow hair wax? its temporary and idk... IDK GUYS LOL

hello,

im making my first handmade cosplay for the venator from deadlock! I have a good idea on how i can work out the rest of the outfit, but im wondering how i can make the breastplate he wears in game.

I'm not experienced in handcrafts very much so i dont know exactly what i should be looking for. i was considering eva foam but im not sure what im going to do yet. any suggestions or tips on working with a suitable material for this would be appreciated!!!

Me and my brother are making a deltarune cosplay for a con next week (we have 12 days to finish it).

I’ve thrifted this shirt that seems new and unused, that is almost the exact same color of the character’s one (last pic). Like you see, I only need to do the yellow stripes, and I was wondering if you have some advice on how I can do them without ruining the shirt (since is new and is the only one I’ve found perfect for the character).

I was thinking about using felt and safety pins to put them in place, but idk how much they would last or be comfortable for my brother. Or also to use some type of lasting tape for clothes so they would be removable and won’t ruin the shirt.

I also considered using acrylic paint and just do them, but I’m scared to ruin the fabric since, even if I usually paint, I never did it on a shirt.

I also thought about sewing the felt on it, but I don’t have a sewing machine and I have to do it hand sewing (I already did something similar with my Noelle cosplay, and it took so much time, the felt was too rigid for the fabric I had and putting that sweater was difficult. Idk if I should risk also with this one)

Any advice are welcome, thank you for reading!

Hello!! I’m freshly new with sewing, still learning the basics. I was having a hard time trying to plan the top and bottom (not making a body suit, instead making two separate pieces). I was trying to find patterns for a mock turtle neck, but I wasn’t sure how I was going to add the pink rectangle thing he has in the middle of his top. Aswell with the pants, i’m also unsure how to add the pink shorts. Any tips or advice? Comic con is in 10 days 😵‍💫

What's the name of the coat with gold outlines? I'm having a difficult time finding out what it is

Hi! I’m doing Casca for DragonCon! It’s been going way better than expected but I’m coming up to one of the final details which are the little joints/beads/nails all over the armor. I want them to be visible. I thought about hot glue but I’m worried about consistency. Same with clay. I also considered using dimes , putting hot glue on the dimes and then gluing the coins onto the EVA Foam suit with contact cement. However , I’m concerned about structural integrity.

I included a reference image lol

Thanks!
