Idk whatever happened to the help thread so I'm making a new one. Post your questions related to costume making, techniques and stuff.I used to scroll /cgl/ back in 2018 and participate helping other ppl. I took a long break from cosplaying and want to get back to it.
>>10970492I'll go first>Be me>Have a cute bf>Get Glitch Studios hype disorder, watch MID Drones show>Project too hard on main characters>Immediatly plan cosplaysHow can I make decent looking robot legs for Uzi Doorman cosplay.I was thinking maybe buy silver tights and paint on them. I've been looking Mettaton cosplayers for reference. How do they add black lines on highly synthetic fabric?
>>10970493Use a silvery stretch fabric. Put batting/foam between two layers and stitch together to make the ridges.
>>10970492>be me>first time cosplayer>first time at a con>Will do Asa MitakaMy grandma will help me with the skirt, is there something i should know to make the cosplay better? i will start with the ribbon soon
>>10970513Good makeup and nice shoes. Remember to always press your clothes properly.Simple costumes get carried by good fitting, makeup and small details. Learn to contour your face, get good anime/dolly lashes and learn eyeliner techniques if you haven't already.
How to improve?

I know this cosplay is realistically easy as fuck to do but I need help on the hair, any tips on styling it or should I just get a wig? My hair is darker brown, straight, and shoulder-length so noticeably longer than his. my con in like a week so I need to act fast.
>>10972732You can find one to fit your waistline, no question. The REAL problem, unless you're a manlet, is length. As a certified KnowerTM, you're going to find very few if any that are good enough. So in that case, just make sure you get one that's wide enough, wait for it to arrive, measure the gap and then have a tailor add on the missing inches
Not quite a cosplay construction question, but there’s no Taobao thread. A seller on Taobao left me on read for 3 days after I sent my measurements for a custom cosplay. Is it reasonable to send this? Or do I wait more?
>>10973949I’m so stupid that I forgot to add what I wanted to send. I don’t speak Chinese, so this might be machine translated garbage.“您好,不好意思打扰一下。请问按照我之前发的尺寸,可以定制吗?谢谢”
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone have pictures of a Min Min from Arms cosplay (not a person wearing an outfit, just the outfit or the outfit on a mannequin)?
