“Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.”

This is what pretty much goes around the cosplay community. When people see how much effort you put into your costume, they appreciate you a big number of times. Worship you even. But once they see something wrong, whether in your costume or your act, their word spreads in the community like the speed of light. And I’m telling you, it’s not always pretty. So you have to keep in mind the value of what makes your costume worth it.. the costume itself.

Your costume can be made out of anything depending on your character’s design. Here I shall share ideas/ suggestions and the resources on a budget basis:

1) FABRIC. You have to be very observative on this subject. Because there have been many cosplays displaying the wrong fabric, making them look.. well, wrong. Just because the material is cheaper doesn’t mean you have to necessarily go for it. If your character’s outfit is a simple woven uniform, don’t go for satin glossy. If you love your character you will go to extremes! *ahem* ok not entirely. What I’m saying is, don’t ruin it. At least get one part/area of your costume in the right fabric so that you will look believable! Trust me, it helps! Read the rest of this entry »

Penny for your thoughts? Please share your experience, the ups and downs of what Cosplay means or has done in your life. I personally think it has saved me a lot. Not that I needed saving. But it brings the part of you who always wanted that fictional world to come to life.  There is more to cosplay than simply dressing up. I’d love to hear them from you!

Welcome to Kosupure Kei! Kosupure translates as Cosplay, which is short for “costume roleplay” and is combined with Kei, which comes from the first letter of my name. I’ll let you guess that for now.

Here you will find that anything goes about cosplaying: what it is, how and why you do it, and what it does to your life. I have albums on Photography, Fashion, and other things too. So feel free to browse. I find comments yummy so pls leave some. Thank you~! *mew*
