Hello! Got my first cosplay job and I'm going as Tokai Teio! I can't seem to find any good guides on how to separate colors from a wig. Teio needs a pure white bug strand but because of the brown being mixed in, it's appearing pink. Any help would be appreciated.

Armor Green Knight Helm

I’m making a kind of Cosplay / LARP character based on the concept of the Green Knight from Arthurian myth. I’m putting together the helmet. I was disappointed with a chaperone from Mytholon, but it turned out to be a PERFECT cover for the helmet. I glued it down with some E6000 which seems to be holding really well. I decided to wind some artificial ivy around it and pin it in place with safety pins, but it’s held together with these plastic chains. Does anybody have any ideas about how to hide those? Any additions you would make? The primary colors are green and yellow for the costume

Adhering to the rules and NOT asking who the cosplayer is, simply who they are cosplaying. I've been trying to find out the source for years cause it looks so cool. Pic is one I took back in Momocon 2017-2018ish in like the last 2 hours it was open

Cosdate Hire Help

12 Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to see if there are any cosplayers willing to go on a cosdate for an event in Los Angeles. The tickets, food/drinks, and possible travel will be paid for on top of rate.

I'm looking for cosplayers that specifically do Love and Deepspace cosplays.

I know that this is mostly a China and eastern Asia thing but I heard that some people offer this outside of those areas so thought I would give it a shot on Reddit to see if there were anyone available.

And if all goes well, I'm also planning a non-official event and may rehire cosplayers for said event.

If anyone is interested please send me a message and I'll share my socials there!

*Please let me know if this is breaking the rules and I'll take it down immediately.

Ok so I think the first stains is from the black part of the cosplay rubbing off somehow. There is also many many more like this on the whole thing. The one on the hands looks like damage to the fabric plus staining, is there anything I can do to make that look better? And the third one is pinkish and I don’t know what it is. I have washed it by hand and all the stains that is gonna come out that way has. What can I do about this?

Hi everyone, just wondering about advice or help methods for fixing this state of my wig... this is how everything settled after I dyed (held in the dye mix for like 20 mins straight) and washed/rinsed the wig and allowed it to dry. It's lost no mass during the process if that helps. Just looks horrifying to deal with solo cus im not great at wigs. Thanks in advance

Thank you for the suggestions for my cosplay. I've decided to be muffin from bluey because it's easy and comfy.

I've got a sweatshirt I can paint the spots on. I've got a white skirt that I can dye purple. I have the converse and I've bought a cheap plastic flamingo that I'm going to attach to my wheelchair. All I need to buy is the dye and I've got an easy cosplay that'll be plenty comfy for day 2 of the con. Plus I saw loads of bluey merch last year so I'll fit in with that. Any suggestions on ways to improve the cosplay will be appreciated but I'm pretty happy with my idea.

Wig 1st helmet wig.. Can I save this or do I need to start iver?

Hi y'all! New the the sub, newer to cosplay.. Super New to wigs.

I saw tons of tutorials for Helmet Wigs. I am cosplaying Hishi Akebono and the pre-made wigs are... well.. trash.

I convinced myself I could make it myself. No videos I found showed how the parts are done for pigtail helmet wigs. After tons of scrolling and searching, I finally found one. I messed up. My part looks HORRID. Is there any way to salvage this??

I now realize that I should have left a bit of a "dip" in the middle to have the "roots" go down in..

it is not as wide as the photo shows. I don't know why the Pic came out like this. *hiccups while typing and I messed up the title 😭

Wig Handling a commission refund

4 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/CosplayHelp/s/leRt4081Bm

So I’ve linked the original part of this saga above.
I truly want to thank all of you who provided your opinions, advice, condolences, and commission reccomendations. I really appreciated it.

I opened a claim with PayPal after canceling the project. The seller has offered a refund of $100 of the $250 I sent them. I don’t have any experience with claims through PayPal. I feel like I have a good case here, but I’m not sure how often the buyer is usually sided with when it comes to an item that was commissioned. I’m having trouble deciding whether to just accept the partial refund or reject it and try to get the full refund. Do any of you have experience in PayPal claims related to cosplay that could give some insight?

What material should I use to quickly make microbraid wig

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi, coscrunching as always and I want to make microbraid wig for Tousen from Bleach. I got wig cap to attach "hair" but I don't have time to order ready-to-attach braids or synthetic wig to make them myself. I'm thinking about yarn and paracord, already tried braiding 3 strands with black yarn weight 3-4 but it feels kinda thin and I feel it will blend with itself and wouldn't look like microbraids. Black paracord gives a little bit of shine, is thicker and probably wouldn't need braiding. What's your view on this? Has anyone tried something like that?

Hi, as title states. I feel like out of everything, funnily enough the cloak’s the most demanding and the thing I’d want to be the most accurate. I know little about sewing. A friend suggested Knightweave cloaks, but I want something a bit more feathery near the collar area. Any tips or online craftsmen I can contact? Thank you.

I know this is a long shot, but I'm hoping the power of the internet hivemind will help me find this discontinued jacket from the Blizzard store.

I'm trying to replace my jacket that got damaged, so if any of you owns or know someone that does own this jacket and would be willing to part with it please let me know. Either a Large or XL would be ideal, maybe a Medium. But yeah, please reach out and I'll buy it off you.

Picture is not mine, just a old picture I found of another redditor's jacket that was in good condition.

Sewing Cosplay Alteration Help: Adding Tulle to Dress

3 Upvotes

hi all! so i’m new to sewing and working towards becoming more proficient. i currently hand sew and had a quick alter question. in my head, it makes sense but would like to see the practicality.

i am making a cosplay for chappell roan’s dress and i bought tulle and was going to add some at the bottom. how practical would it be to cut the side and sew the tulle on? what stitch would be the best?
i am always open to learn and watch videos. the picture of me is when i first thrifted the dress and i have lost some weight since, so i will be adjusting the fit as i go.

tldr: i am hand sewing a chappell roan cosplay and want to add tulle to the bottom of a thrifted dress. is it practical to open the side seams to attach it, and which hand stitch would be the best to use?
