/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Ah, I see what you mean. I guess I am frequently outside of this since I cosplay from more obscure things that China doesn't often make costumes of and what options there are = cosplay trainwreck/joke/super inaccurate and crappy. People who have bought my costumes generally seem to have either seen me wearing them at the con or otherwise and know my work quality.

However, one of my most elaborate costumes I made hasn't sold, likely because of the low price expectation. It's from a series that still has a strong fanbase and I'm selling everything with it (5 pieces of the costume, top hat, wig, props, accessories) literally the buyer just needs to find some socks and shoes. Or maybe it's because I'm a weird size? I am 5'6" and wear US size 4 - 6. I thought I was pretty average/normal, but other cosplayers from the fandom seem a lot heavier than I am so maybe there's something to it.

Also, the "broke student so give me this pretty much for free" excuse is one of my favorites. Pic very related.
