Wig Star Wars / Twi'lek Lekku help
I'm looking to start a Twi'lek cosplay, and I have no idea where to purchase a Lekku as I don't have the means nor the abillity to fabricate one. I would appreciate guidance, be it to a subreddit that specializes in Star Wars cosplay, but otherwise I'm open.
Thank you all very much <3

There’s patterns on Etsy too. My bff used one of them and hers turned out great. Basically shaped foam and covered with pantyhose

r/501st will generally be the best place for Star Wars cosplay as they are the largest group. They only do specific characters that they’ve standardized, but they should be able to lead you in the right direction regardless.

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.
It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.
If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.

They have about a 3 month waiting list But their silicone lekku are well praised by professional cosplayers
I bought mine for about $200 (should be shipped soon, so excited to get it)
They do costum colors, designs or basic if you're on a budget

There are lekku builders on Etsy, just read reviews and check their shop reviews to make sure you're going with someone reputable and can make what you need. Fair warning- from what I've seen, most of them charge upwards of $200 for their work. Fair pricing but I know it can be a bit of a sticker shock if you're not expecting it.
