> fabric has to be shiny, end up with satin
> know about its reputation, decide it can't look that bad
> I mean the costume is supposed to look shiny right?
> take a few pics of finished costume
> notice it looks too shiny when I use flash
> oh well, what are the odds that literally every photographer at the con will use flash?
> odds happen
> tfw costume looks awesome irl and looks like shit in con pics

Without flash photography it looks exactly like it's supposed to. It has just the right amount of shininess that way, which makes this all the more frustrating.
My fault for even trying I suppose.
