I can give you some advice on what i'm doing for my Fefetasprite cosplay, if that helps. I'm one of the couple of pro-seamstress anons (the one that critiqued MF's Porrim a few threads back) and although ive yet to make the mockup to see how this works ive got some things in mind.

Basically what i'm going is a dress, which will be fairly tight until it hits my low hip, where it'll flat out into a skirt that's front hem just hits the ground with the shoes i'll be wearing. Then i'm going to add an even train on the bottom. The problem that >>6479323 had was that their train wasn't anywhere near wide enough to accommodate it's length. My train will be starting about at the quarter seams in the front and gradually grow longer as it goes around.

Now, the thing with this is it's gonna be hell at conventions so here's a tip for ALL sprite cosplayers. There's a trick that a lot of wedding dresses with trains do, which is there's a little tucked away elastic band either at the end of the train, or near it. This band is to be put around your wrist to hold your train up while you walk so you don't have to sling it over your arm. Mine will be about a foot before the end of my train, so when i'm at conventions my skirt will be pulled up and slightly to the side, with a little hanging off my wrist like the end of a sprite tail! Easy to walk and move without people stepping on it and nice to pose with as long as you don't pull to much and make it bunch awkwardly on the other side of where you're holding the train. Easy to let down too, if someone wants a picture in a pretty empty hallway where you won't stop traffic. Then I can let it down for private shoots, and with the design of the dress and skirt for it, it'll be easy to tuck my feet into the skirt sitting or keep my feet hidden if standing.

Anyone else have any questions for me while i'm feeling helpful in my once in a while venture onto HSG? anyone want constructive critiques?
