Hey everyone! I thought I would share the progress I've made while making my cosplay outfits for the anime con I'm going to in September. In case you don't know what 'cosplay' and 'anime con' means, I'll inform you now :)
Cosplay - Dressing up as your favorite character. Said character could be from an anime (Japanese cartoons), comic book, or a sci-fi based movie.
Anime Con - A incredibly fun weekend where lovers of anime, comic books, and sci-fi movies enjoy each other's company. Some of the activities there are meeting famous voice actors, video gaming, buying stuff, raving, concerts, and WAY too much to mention!!!
So here is my progress so far on my t-shirt for my Gir cosplay.
I bought the shirt from Goodwill for $1 which is an incredible deal! I made the zipper with some gray felt that I had on hand and painted the zipper design on with black paint. The zipper pull is already sewn on. Now all that's left is finishing the sewing and putting a small tail on the back of the shirt. I post a picture of the finished product once done :)
This is a fun project!

Hi Catherine! Thanks for the follow :) I have 2 more costumes that I will be posting up as well.
DeleteHahah, that is cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a lot of fun to make :)
DeleteLooks good! I am mildly familiar with cosplay, as my sons have been attending Gencon in Indianapolis every year for the past 7 years. It is one of their life goals to make it to Comic Con. : )
ReplyDeleteThey are also both big anime fans, though I don't believe they have ever made it to an anime con.
Thanks Lynn! I love to display! It's so much fun making an outfit based on your fav character. I can't wait for the anime con :)
DeleteI'm a new follower. My oldest daughter would love to get into cosplay. She has created Halloween costumes for Sailor Moon and The Doctor from Doctor Who. One of these days she'll get to a con of some sort. Comic Con would be her ultimate dream.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amy! Thanks for following :) Your daughter would have so much fun at a con! There's nothing like making your own custom and showing it off around people who really appreciate it.
