Haaaaa, that really makes me want to see people dressed as superheroes posing with common weapons. Maybe Superman with a switchblade or Hulk trying to mace someone.

I want to revamp our Krang costume from Halloween for the Calgary Expo next month, but I still can't find a yellow hoodie. I had to use a raincoat before and lasted about 5 minutes, it's ungodly hot and there's no way I'm wearing it in a crowded place all day. Anyone know where I can find a basic yellow hoodie and yellow sweatpants with no wording on them? It's surprisingly difficult, none of the places I expected carry anything close.



have you tried H&M or American Apparel? Or just Amazon? The color Yellow is pretty much in style. Maybe more difficult to find in Canada I guess.

Just wanted to post up that there is a cosplay creation thread too if you are needing some advice or have something you want to show off. Some amazing prop and armor folks in there.

I'm female. And it's an anime con.

Could you just do a general Gothic Lolita look? OR a sweet kimono? I haven't really seen a ton on anime. In any case wear whatever character costume you want.

Thanks, everyone. I think I've decided on my cosplay now - I'm pretty much set on cosplaying Stocking from Panty and Stocking. Mainly because I love the hair.

And there is one episode where she gains a lot of weight, so it's totally canon in case anyone does give me grief.

If anyone gives you grief send them our way.

Anyways love this Ice Queen dress. Like I would like to own it.

That man looks so close to Wesley Crusher that I want to punch him through my monitor.

Which means that it was a pretty successful costume, I guess...

Those folks got a cute photo with Gates McFadden.

So I found this guy who did a pretty ridiculous replica of the new Man of Steel suit and man, if I had any idea how to even begin to get one of these made for myself, holy poo poo





It's not quite screen accurate obviously, but I'd be down as gently caress to own one just like it.

Looks like a single dye dispersed spandex print. Not unlike the spider-men suits. Then it was embellished.

I'm certainly not involved enough in the community to speak with any authority, but earlier in the year I was trying to find info on a spiderman suit for Halloween, it was a nightmare. People wouldn't disclose anything about the patterns or templates, where they got them printed or who sewed them together. I ended up just buying a cheap suit from China because I couldn't find any solid info.

I sewed a dye printed Spider-Man for a fellow goon and finding any "how to" was impossible. I should probably post all my process pictures up somewhere.

Maybe we can get slightly back on topic. My son would really like to be Connor from AC3 for Halloween but I'm not ok with spending $$$. They have some amazing costumes online but they start at like $170.00. Any advice on where to find steps to make one on the cheap?

Maybe head to the cosplay-creation thread and ask for some advice.

Does it still count as cosplay if you don't go to a convention, but still put a crapload of effort into it? Here's my Halloween costume, for which I spent the last five months sewing (and growing a moustache):



For reference (Gangs of New York):


This is awesome! Did you make the hat? Any progress pictures?

The San Francisco Opera had an epic costume sale this weekend. People lined up Friday night to get in early. They had filled their large scenic workshop warehouse full of outfits, ranging from Biblical to sci-fi. Faux armor, capes, hats, gowns, pretty much you name it. I saw a few guys get robes, priest-ish tall hats, and scepters, possibly they were starting their own religion...

I was mainly there in support of my wife, and I came across a full length leather duster that had been textured to look like it had been worn through Hell. $35. You couldn't buy the fabric for the costumes for what they were charging.

The most expensive items were the 17-1800's gowns with enormous hoop skirts, jewels, and embroidery, at $300.

This happens every five years in SF, and I'm sure it happens with opera and theater companies all over.
