My girlfriend and I are first-time cosplayers looking for costumes to fit our basic body types. We have a few ideas for me (5'8" 135) but she is stumped (5'0" ~160) Being new to this, she doesn't want to go and be criticized in public and never want to cosplay again, but if anyone has ideas thank you in advance!

Also I'm pretty much set on going as something close to pic

No one gives a fuck about your little bitch sob story, take your special snowflake ass to the suggestion thread and delete this.

If You're going to be Link, for the love of god just go for fucking accuracy and stop throwing together any goddamn thing that's green or brown and calling yourself Link. Link isn't complicated yet so many of you people fuck him up.

If she doesn't want to be noticed, then she doesn't have to fucking cosplay. Don't fucking force her you dumb shit. She doesn't have to cosplay if she doesn't want to.

One more thing, cosplay is about dressing up as your favorite characters. Asking for ideas/suggestions means you're in the wrong goddamn hobby.

Go buy nerd t-shirts or something and don't make these kinds of threads on cgl.

Jesus your gfs needs to donate about 20 lbs to you and would still have about 40 lbs to spare. Instead of wasting time/money on dress up why not get fit and healthy first so you guys don't just shame yourselves

She could cosplay Kasugaoka Kurumi, from Hachi Koi (pic related). You might be able to do a Shinji cosplay, since he is pretty skinny too.

>> No.8365901

>>8365821
5'10 and 140 is an incredibly normal weight range, probably even closer to the "underweight" category?? ur not even close to being chubby

anyways op, don't listen to these guys, ur gf can cosplay someone adorable at 5' and 160 lbs, who gives a fuck. Tell her to think long and hard about her favorite characters, make sure they wear something she is comfortable wearing and go with that.

If you're going as Link, it would be cute for her to go as Zelda, but it might be difficult to do as a first time cosplayer. Maybe she could go as Malon? Saria? Tetra could be cute, too!!

Well at least I feel a bit better for being 135 and 5"2.

>> No.8365927

As long as her clothing fits properly and she's comfortable, it shouldn't be an issue.

Most of the larger cosplayers who get criticized tend to be the ones who try to squeeze into outfits that are too small for them or who wear something ridiculously skimpy.

seems about right

>> No.8366038

You seem dead set on Link, so just do Ocarina Link and have your GF be Saria. Those are easy enough for first timers.

Also if she doesn't want attention then don't force her to cosplay, people are going to pay attention to you when you're wearing a costume. And how about you try to build up her confidence in herself and her body, and start working out with her to encourage her to lose weight.

Next time, use the suggestion or help thread.

>> No.8366040

Sorry if this is too invasive but what kind of body shape does he have? Weight distribution is definitely and important thing to take into account as well as bone structure. Using myself as an example, I have most of my fat in my hips/butt/upper thigh with some cellulite and larger shoulders. A skirt with more volume is going to look more flattering than a pencil skirt, as it will balance my shoulders and conceal any lump problems. Playing up positives, I have a small waist and muscular calves, so I might try to pick a costume that would highlight these features.

So, that's important in figuring out suggestions. I'm not going to suggest Pochaco if your girlfriend has tiny breasts as I wouldn't suggest SeeU if she's top heavy.

>> No.8366070

Seriously don't pressure or convince her to cosplay. Cosplay WILL bring attention and there are a lot of catty people who WILL mock her.

You're being a douche.
If she's so fat, she can pull off Amethyst from Steven Universe without anyone batting a eye.

I am a filthy 5'10 manlet. What can I cosplay? I prefer something fantasy-ish.

Should I be Tyrion Lannister or a Lollipop Guild member from the Wizard of Oz?

I was thinking Willow, but I'm probably too short for him.

Being 5'10, I find myself having to climb on top of chairs.

It's good, because I am working out a lot of muscles by climbing, but carrying around my grappling hook everywhere is hard work.

I usually just ride on my 6'1 friend's shoulders, but he can't fit through buildings anymore.
