I'm in a bit of a dilemma -- I wanna do a mashup cosplay, but have no idea who to combine Zoe Hanji with. I was considering Graverobber from Repo!, then the Winter Soldier, then just doing a cyberpunk version. Any advice?

The cyberpunk idea came from this awesome fanart (not drawn by me, found on Google Images (IT'S JUST A REFERENCE, MODS, I'M NOT CLAIMING IT AS MINE)).

I've decided to do a Cyberpunk Zoe Hanji. Now to design that...

So I wanna do a genderbend version of Oberon from Magus Bride, and I'm having trouble deciding on a dress. Do I go for a simpler one, or one that's more Celtic and like Titania's (the Fairy Queen from Magus Bride)?

I don't if this counts, but here I go. I've been working on a costume for a con, and I don't like it. The pieces all look good separately, some pieces can be used as regular clothes, but I don't like how all the pieces look together. Should I abandon the costume, salvage the regular pieces, and toss the rest? And there's another costume that I've barely started, but I can't figure out pieces for it, and there's no demand for the character.
TL;DR
Should I scrap a cosplay I personally find cringy, and store the pieces of another for another time?

I have a con this weekend and I am so excited to finally get to do my dream cosplay! Rapunzel! She is easily a favorite Disney princess of mine and I have always felt that I have so much in common with her. I love to paint and dream, I have long blonde hair and green eyes, and I actually have a chameleon. Her free spirit and love to be barefoot just has always meant so much to me. I am also super happy that my boyfriend will be cosplaying Flynn Rider. I love it when we get to do couple cosplay.

Addition: Any advice would be great!

if you're not gonna feel comfortable in it, it's best to just scrap it and save the pieces for something else. the purpose of cosplaying is just to have fun, so it's not worth putting more money into something you won't enjoy wearing. but anyways, even if the character isn't very popular, but you know you'll enjoy wearing it, go for it. it's something i've done a few times. it's especially nice if you don't like all the attention, i've been in both positions though and don't mind either personally. my best advice is to just stick with working on something you'll be both proud of and happy wearing around for those few hours.

i'm going to a con soon (woohoo!) and am just wondering (since i plan on starting a new cosplay as soon as i get back) if there's any place to get sheets of eva foam and worbla for cheap- if any of you know (i'm in canada) online shops that you find reliable that would be great! my favourite shop shut down about a month ago so i'm seriously in need of some more stuff hehe

-- any help is appreciated since every other shop i've seen is super costly!
