I'm a cosplayer. I've been cosplaying since 2012 and I've done around 30-40 cosplays. I mainly crossplay and I'm mostly known for my Touken Ranbu cosplays - I've done 13 Touken Ranbu cosplays and have lots more I still want to cosplay. I mostly make my cosplays myself...I hand stitch them and I like to do embroidery as well. 1 reply

I mean, I have C.C.'s cosplay costume and wig from Code Geass, but I never got to go to the con itself because we were supposed to go to there By my friend's dad's car, but he was too busy at work so my friend kind of just had to cancel the trip like a few days before... I'd never felt so disappointed in my life. My heart and soul hurt to this day....... reply
i've only been to two cons so far, but the most vivid memory i have was when i made my first cosplay for a future con.
it was enma ai's (jigoku shoujo) uniform so it was fairly easy, but i only knew the basics. i was pricked and burned many times from sewing and ironing down pleats, and my result was er... not bad. it was actually pretty good for ...... reply
