Anyone know where I can get a school uniform without spending over 75 on both shipping and cost?

It looks like just a regular cotton t-shirt, but really filthy.

[Anonymous No.6674570]

>>6672969
Wearing burlap isn't so bad as long as you line it with something softer, like plain cotton.
But it sort of looks like a soft canvas material to me, something sturdy but still pretty light.

Are the J-list nylon schoolbags even worth getting? Or should I save my money and shell out for Candy Sugar from lawara or a CONOMi brand one?

So, I've cosplayed Iwazaru once, but it was with this shitty pleather get-up that I made. It was really loose and didn't look good.

Now, I want to upgrade it to look better. I'm only asking since I have absolutely no clue where to look for this stuff, because I'm assuming this is bondage gear tier stuff, and I'm not into bondage. Where could I buy leather straps/bondage gear and shit that Iwazaru has? Pic related of course. There are some sex shops nearby, but I've never been in one, and have no idea where quality bondage gear is sold. Hopefully you guys know.

Mind you, everything is symmetrical front-and-back. It's kind of hard to see but there are straps wrapping around his thighs as well. There are 2 little leather straps around his ankles too, not in pic-related, but I don't care if those aren't available to buy, pleather would work.

Hi fellow Lucina cosplayer!

I didn't make her undersuit yet, but for the tunic, I started with a fitted dress pattern and cut out the back area since the tunic does some interesting things in the back. I velcroed on the front panel of the tunic, since I installed a zipper in the front. I hope this helps!

I'm wondering if you just need to use shoulder pads. This is just like at a first glance.

[Anonymous No.6676555]

>>6676541
Hmm I was wondering about that too, but how do I sew them so I could get that effect?

[Anonymous No.6676577]

>>6676555
I'm >>6676515, if you had a mannequin this would be a bit easier:

Draft the lining so that it fits you/the mannequin. Get REALLY dramatic shoulder pads (I used 1" for a cosplay with similar looking shoulders), sew it on top of the lining's shoulders, see how it looks on the mannequin, draft the outer part of the coat, and then further tack down the shoulder pads to the outer coat layer.

Basically you're sandwiching the shoulder pads between two slightly different layers... I suck at explaining, please ask if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Anonymous No.6676586]

>>6676577
Forgot to mention: aside from the shoulders, you should also be keen on making the biceps part of your sleeves rather fitted to add onto the effect.

[Anonymous No.6676594]

>>6676577
So I just put them between the coat and the lining? I imagine that I have to sew the shoulder pads on the sleeve seam instead of the shoulder seam, right?

Thank you very much, anon!

[Anonymous No.6676607]

>>6676594
Basically, yes. I think it'd look more dramatic if you had a coat that had outer and lining layers made in a way that could accommodate the huge shoulder pads (as opposed to getting any ol' coat and sewing in shoulder pads) but who knows... And what I did for my bolero is that I hand sewed the shoulder pad area that was near my neck and then sewed from the lining, through the shoulder pad from the shoulder seam, and sewed within the shoulder seam. I'm... not sure if this is "THE WAY" to sew in shoulder pads so you might want to double check on that with an online tutorial...

Good luck with your costume!

Strange suggestion but... pipecleaners?

[Anonymous No.6676768]

You could reinforce the craft foam with fabric and glue on the back to make it stronger. Then it would be lightweight and hard enough to keep its shape.

[Anonymous No.6676831]

>>6676758
Reminds me of those eyebrows from WoW
Maybe you can look up how they made theirs?

Here's a brainteaser for you.
I'm building Ruby Weapon, but I can't seem to figure out the mechanism for the arms.
I'm building each segment out of a wire base covered in paper mache with a fibreglass coating that'll then be primed, blasted, painted and glossed. I just can't figure out how to attach each segment to the next.
I'm looking at about maybe 5/6ft in size with all the pieces combined. I need to be able to fit my arm inside and be able to manipulate it.
You ever go the beach and get one of those cheap plastic snake toys? The ones made out of all the little pieces that you could make bend in any direction or go rigid? Can't remember for the life of me what they're called, but I'm thinking something like that might work.

basically you can fit it between two pieces of material using a hole-punch and then taking the two sides and fitting them together like a snap in the center.

I'm currently getting started on Yukako's cosplay from JoJo, yet as I have been looking arund for good references, her uniform comes in multiple different colorways that people have done.

I wanted to make sure here if there was any specific colorway that would work best and reccommended. It seems like the black with violet accents or yellow ones seem popular, as is the blue with violent accents.

>colorway.
Okay. The thing about Jojo is, any color scheme works. That's right, ANY color scheme. If you feel like you need a reference, for sure, go off of colored art, but don't feel the need to constrain yourself, outside of maybe keeping the darks and lights correct(IE making yukako blonde probably wouldn't work)

So do what you like.

Thanks anon! I figured as much that JoJo's pretty open with color. I just kept seeing a more popular scheme so just making sure, but that's good to know!

Chemicals of any sort usually eat foam. I'd say if you want to save time, just use the masking/painters tape. It's not expensive and you won't need to go through the trouble of paper mache. Better safe than sorry.

I have a question, and I figured it would be better to ask here than start a new thread:
If you're cosplaying a very plain character, should you wear make-up at all, or just go with the natural look of the character?

I think there are a bunch on taobao. Maybe ask in the Taobao thread.

Seconding this. The short sleeve matched color ones are on sale for under $40
>>6675375
Try Worbla or wonderflex.
>>6675942 There is a really easily modifiable vest pattern from New Look
>>6681375
Get a regular short layered wig and get matching wefts to sew in for the long part and you'll be golden

I'm looking for a fake blood recipe.

Hear me out.

I'm looking for a fake blood that stays wet. So far google has given me results for a blood gel, but I've never used it and it is expensive for larger quantities.

Anyone know of a good, will-stay-wet fake blood recipe? I'm not worried about staining. Or my skin staining. It'd be around my mouth so I prefer non-toxic!

Thanks in advance.

Asking this again. Where should I go for feathers when I need enough for large bird-style wing?

I was told something about using agar agar powder to make fake blood, but I can't tell you how. I won't learn that here for a bit. Try googling Agar agar blood.

Here's a tut. I haven't tried it myself though and can't say if it stays wet. But you could test it out before the con/photoshoot.

Does anyone have any tips for sewing lace? Do you treat it like tulle under the sewing machine?

[Anonymous No.6684447]

There was a tastey chocolate syrup blood. Anyone remember how to make it?

Isn't that what they used in The Godfather?

[Anonymous No.6684893]

>>6684429
If it is nice, quality lace, hand sewing. Actually, if it is thin and you are worried about machine eating it, just hand sew. This way no worries about tears or pulled threads.

Psycho. Although possibly the Godfather, too, I don't know.
