I finished my cosplay today. I wish I could post a picture of at least the jacket, but you know.

hi!!

what are some good things to use as piercings in cosplay? i've always wanted to cosplay this character who has some piercings above her lip [mioda ibuki from super dangan ronpa two], but I am not going out and getting actual piercings there.

You can usually find some studs that you can glue on with a glue that is safe on the skin called latex glue. It's a yellowish glue, and I use the glue to stick on my elf ears. c:
I would look around at craft stores, and perhaps search for something relevant online.

thank god i finally found somebody who does this!
hello, Im YourLocalCosplayer ummm I have not actually started cosplaying because im saving and keeping track on my growth before pheonix comicon for next year. Have you ever heard of Miccostumes.com?
im ordering my first one off there and i really dont know how good the rewiews are on the site.
have you ever had any experience if you have heard of the site?

[bandit;]

I've never heard of that site before. I'll check it out and then get back to you. c:
The best thing, I've found, is to make your own costumes to the best of your ability, unless you are getting it especailly tailored. It will fit better, and you will probably feel better about the costume if you've worked hard and made it what you want. Usually when ordering costumes, it's not very reliable, but I could be wrong with this site. Let me check it out. What costume are you ordering from that site?

kk thanks, as far as i know i have planned the hetalia spain (with the wig), and hetalia italy cosplay suits (no wig)

[bandit;]

As far as I know, the cosplay items on the website look quite cheap. I would suggest finding a different website to order from, if you haven't ordered it already. >.<

alright ty, if you know anyone who has ordered from there i'd like to know the quality just in case i cant find anywhere else to order from. ty :3
im planning to order in February,

(i have heard some good rewiews on a few cosplays) but not to many that would convince me to buy them

[bandit;]

If you want to buy a wig, I suggest going to a site that specailizes in wigs. The wigs may cost a bit more, but in that case you may be able to find the same purchase on a different web store, like Amazon, for example.

im buying my wigs off amazon. i trust them more out of all the websites (so far) ive been on. (wigs alone)
