Ah! That is a good idea Ginny.
Good Luck FFU!
@Seta:
. Just…be careful, if it is not made properly, wardrobe malfunctions can happen, so you may want to test out wearing it around in doors before taking it to the con.
LOL I know what you mean I went commando in my short short chopper shorts.
@Seta:
Has anyone here ever dealt with doing a manga version of a character with your own color scheme, only to have it turn out to be wrong or partially wrong?
I don't think its that big of a deal. You made a costume based on the manga. The manga is black and white. When I saw your Enies Lobby costume at Anime USA I knew immediately what it was you were cosplaying, the colors were irrelevant. The construction of the costume was correct.
So if someone came up to you and says, "hey your Nami costume colors are wrong you know." You can just say it was based on the manga and this was your interpretation.
My colors are wrong too, but I like what I picked. :P
ick I make a retarted blueno
O_o

I need a bright pink wig….
can anyone point me to a decent online shop or a store location in NJ?
Thank you
Yeah i'm not going to Katsu anymore, i dont have the cash. Anyway its snowing now, tommorow i'm going to take some cosplay pics in my chopper outfit XD
I have to finish my bloody Nami outfit in a month.. if that…. oh good X3 really wish me luck xD..
This probably has been posted already, but the thread is too long to read… u_ua
Anyway, I've never really cosplayed, mainly because I don't have the skills and there has never been an anime con were I live, but... about two weeks ago a friend invited me to a LARP (Live Action Role Play) and I found myself desperately trying to put a cosplay together. In the end I sort of ended up going as a wizard out of the Arabian Nights, or something along that line (with a curtain rail for a wand, go me!) but I wasn't really satisfied with the outcome. The next LARP is in a month and I want to improve my gear. Could any of you post some tips and tricks on costume-making? I'd be really thankful.
I wasn't going to browse through these forums much till after Katsu, I still have SO much to do…but I have a snow day! Yay! If anyone's curious about my recent endeavors...check: http://apforums.net/showthread.php?p=209874#post209874 And might I add, that is our general cosplay thread. It needs more lovin', so please feel free to use it for non-related One Piece cosplay questions!
In any case…
Rogue - Thank you muchly! I don't think people will give me a hard time about it, but it is frustrating, even just for myself. Can't wait to see yours! We'll be off color together XD!
Spandam - Ha, cute! I hope some day you can do the rest!
Megakazul - There is a story in NYC just a few blocks from port authority bus terminal that is AWESOME. It's on the corner of…8th and 35th? I think. It's between Gray's Papaya and the Hotel New Yorker. It's called Beauty 35. I was just there not long ago, I'm not sure what they had in the pink department. Your best bet might be http://www.cosworx.com , cosplay.com's wig store. They have good stuff.
HyperDingo - NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ;_;!!!! Damn it, I was looking forward to seeing you! I'm sorry you won't be there, hope to see you at Anime Next.
Funky - Good luck! I hope it works out!
Monkey - Hmm, is there anything specific you'd like to know about? Two tricks that always have helped me - The Salvation Army/Thrift Stores are your friend. You'd be amazed by what you can find for costuming there for cheap. Also, anything can be a pattern if you turn it inside out. Bathrobes make great kimono patterns (or even wizard robes if you fussed with it!)
Woo, I think that's everyone. Back to the sewing machine with me!
Yeaaa sowwwy ginny, its beause i got in a stoopid car accidnet , it was such a minor bumper damage but i gotta pay out my ass for it. I'm waiting till otakon to bust out my franky cosplay. wayyyy too cold for him right now. I should have my Kuro, jump point chopper and Gin cosplay done by anime next, you going to anime boston ginny?
~coughs~ um.. I dun have any pics right now.. but um.. I guess I'll list what I've got in teh works.. Ennie's Lobby Sanji, Sanji as a Marine Chef from teh G8 Arc.. &none One Piece.. My own interpretation of Alphonse from the FullMetal Alchemist Movie.. but that's mostly a color change.. Be wearing these@AnimeBoston fer anyone who's going.. Most likely have most o' teh Crew.. Minus Luffy&Usopp.. Oh.. &Ace in Pajamas fer teh Pajama PhotoShoot.. but that's mostly bought.. I'll post pics once I get things done.. I need to start cosplying girls.. I crossplay all teh time.. Only cosplayed as a Girl once.. Mariah from Beyblade.. fer my first costume.. um.. I guess that's it..oo
I decided I'm going to try and make a clima tact that can shot a bocay of flowers from the end….. ^-^''
Anyone know any cheap online wigs that I could use for Nami-swan?
FFU: This is the wig I am using: wig. That plus the styrofoam wig head will cost me about 48 USD.
I don't know if they ship internationally…I never paid attention to that heh. Or if they do, I am not for sure how long it would take to get to you.
Thats TOO much for a wig I fear, I found one anyway but thanks <3

I was wondering if you'd buy that or not.
Well I'm going to Katsu a bit late. Gonna arrive around Friday night, I have a few things to do for school. -_-
So it's doubtful that I'm gonna bust out Jango, as I don't have my gear with me. But Young Iceburg is a definate.
if any one wants to come to a UK con you can hang with my possy~ I have the whole DBF group X3
Man, the more I'm thinking about it. The more Im thinking I might not be able to pull off Fullbody and be better off doing Johnny. Thank god I have until May to figure it out. I guess I have the items to do Johnny here in the house. Omnichiled, do they allow bokkens at acen? It's the next closest thing I have to a sword that isn't one.
DFG: Um I don't know….heh...you will have to email and ask one of the ACEN peoples.
FFU: Im glad that you found one that will work! And some day some year I plan on going to an UK con!
I'm closing this thread, if you have fanart or cosplay, please post them in the art gallery or make a seperate thread for posting your own fanart or cosplay. Example, omnichild makes a thread where he can post all his fanart or cosplay, I would make my own seperate to his, but we do NOT make a new thread for each fanart or cosplay.
