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 my first time.
i ended up not wearing it to a summer con because i didn't have the wig and went as shiro (no game no life) instead, but went as sasha from snk for about a few minutes at the beginning at the con. it was really hot, so of course i changed. ╥﹏╥
a cosplay of mine that was the most fun to prepare was ryuko matoi from kill la kill. i'm a big fan of the anime, and i've always wanted to cosplay her even before i watched it. i ordered the cosplay online and a friend of mine took the time to actually make the scissor blade himself. i got to help too, but he did most of it since he was talented at building things.
i got a lot of photos of me taken and many people really liked the sword. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ it was a small con, but it was tons of fun! i hope i can make a prop or uniform for a future cosplay one day. it did cause me some pain and tears sometimes, but the finished result is always rewarding. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
