Aw shit posted in the wrong help thread.

Anyway. What fabric do you think would be best for Tharja's gold trim? I thought about using vinyl, but I'm a little at a loss because I want all the gold on her outfit to match and I'm not sure how to make her accessories with vinyl.

If it helps, I was thinking of using velvet for the cape, skirt thing, and top.

What would be a good type of fabric for Tharja's gold trim?
I thought of using vinyl, but I want all the gold to match on both her outfit and her accessories/shoes, and I'm not sure how to go about using vinyl for everything, especially since I can't exactly use it on the shoes?

What are some common mistakes Tharja cosplayers do that you all hate? I'd like to avoid them and not have it look as shit as some I've seen.

Please help I'm really stuck. What should I make the gold portions out of? I'm especially unsure about the tiara and neckpiece. Suggestions for the bracelets would be appreciated too.

Anyone know how I could do Tharja's body stocking? I've seen people sew together pantyhose but it seems difficult, How would I go about doing that?

Does anyone know where I can find a decent long straight black wig? Preferably on Ebay,

Anyone have a good place for a body stocking for Tharja? I was thinking of sewing together these belly stockings I found and regular pantyhose but I dunno how good it will look. Also any suggestions on what I should make the collar out of?
