/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have yet to see a Mami cosplayer with a properly styled wig.

On a related note, why are most Mami cosplayers fat girls? It's like they automatically assume she's fat because she has bigger boobs...no

So I decided to cosplay Madoka for my next con, and my best friend wants to join in. She chose Mami. I told her I would help her make it. However, I'm rather nervous. See, my friend is rather chubby. She's not huge or anything, just short and chubby.

I've never made anything for someone... larger than 120lbs. I've made a few steel-boned, historical corsets, but all were supervised be a designer and I was provided patterns that I don't now have access to. I really want to help her look awesome, and she's excited for the costume, it's her first real cosplay. Are there any tips or suggestions for making larger girls look awesome in cosplay, or well, sewing for larger body types? I really don't want her to end up well... pic related.
