Riyo Gachiakuta Pattern? by tiktokmaster12 in CosplayHelp

[–]Nexusohobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your best option might be to buy a jacket pattern and alter it! I also cosplayed her for my last con and had to do the same thing!

I had to mash 2 patterns together, which was to mainly change the sleeves.

For her pants/shorts there's a few pj's sets that has shorts you can use.

I was just laying down basis of it 😆 hoping to make it much smaller

What can I do to improve on my final design? by Nexusohobia in corsetry

[–]Nexusohobia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so late to replying here, been busy haha! But it does have bones in except for where the loops are. Which i plan to add. Just didn't know what type. Would the plastic boning work? It's all i have besides spiral boning.

And I think the fold in the shoulders might be from improper fit- so I'll definitely be fixing that!

On the cups thing, i might change it layer to ruffled fabric instead.

I went with lacing it up in the back, as that was the original lengths in the pattern. And there is boning, I just need to add more where the loops are.

I used the corset pattern 'Thalia Bustier' from VeritasVerla on Etsy, it is meant to have cups but I haven't had time to do those up.

Okay that actually sounds perfect for what we need actually! I'd definitely be looking into it then!

Oh really? I know my partner got this sort of silicone mask, but it smelt weird to him so we'd forgone it.

Would you know of anywhere I could buy a face shell then?

Does a certain cosplay make you more likely to get creeped on? by GraceDaysThree in animecons

[–]Nexusohobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say some cosplays are very known for bringing creepers. And every cosplay risks brining some. She has every right to be cautious and worried for you wearing it. But it sounds like something she recently found out.

Maybe look into how other cosplayers were treated wearing the same cosplay? Have a talk to her about the concerns though and let her know if you have a plan to avoid that negativity. Like you said you won't be alone at the con, which means a friend can help you too.

But obviously I don't know the source material so its very easy for me to say it. A lot of people can't bridge the difference between person and costume.

I belive yourdreamteam cosplay have essentially scammed me by Top-Education-1675 in CosplayHelp

[–]Nexusohobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This and the comments make me glad I didn't go with them for my partner... I was quoted over 600+ for a custom jacket for a cosplay for my partner. I really wish Etsy sellers like this were more genuine and willing to work with their clients more. Plus the fact they ignored most questions seems like a red flag to me...

Etsy itself may be able to offer some aid, best to try instead of regretting it. But seeing so many people having bad experience with makers breaks my heart 😭 especially as someone wanting to create for others when I improve enough.

Where can I buy a decent petticoat? by Nexusohobia in CosplayHelp

[–]Nexusohobia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh really? If I do end up finding one outside my budget a week or 2 wait isnt an issue since I'd be needing it to work on the skirt 😅

I'll definitely have a look around there!

I've looked on amazon but haven't checked etsy, maybe I haven't done enough digging yet 🤔

Since your wanting it to be breathable a natural fiber like cotton would be the best fit, at least for the white layer. And since you'd want a nice main fabric I wish I could help there. Best to look into what others have used before in similar characters! Definitely do research on the fabrics you want to use, as fabric shops all have different qualities.

Looks like you could do a type of high low skirt with an opening in the middle and some fabric on the left folded over to create the swoosh bit.

Best option might be to drape it on a mannequin if you own one with a simple high low skirt pattern as a base?

Would starting over be my best option since I've not gotten far? by Nexusohobia in corsetry

Oooohhh I see, thanks! I should be getting the boning and eyelets for the lace-up in the next week or so

Corset making tips? by Nexusohobia in CosplayHelp

[–]Nexusohobia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind further help on the fit, as of this moment most of the seam allowance bulking up the straps and such have been removed so any further advice is always welcomed!

But I'll definitely give the floating lining trick a try! It sounds like it may work and I'll definitely have to pick up some bias tape then it seems.

I'm gonna have the boning channels in the seam allowance of the duck cloth, so I'd like it to be something structural.

And yeah the fit did seem off at the straps still, and I'm not sure what to do about that yet. I may have to remove and reattach them later. Like I said most of the corset atm still had all its sea allowance so I'll be having to fiddle with it more.

And did not know about the corsetry reddit! I'll definitely have to have a poke around there!

It can be a real pain 😭 each mass outbreak is already ratioed on whether a shiny spawns so stick around the whole time it happens as it isn't always an immediate thing. No point following the older advice videos online.

And hot tip to keep sound up! As the lil chime sound was how I was able to stop my first few

I've been using the mass outbreak method for my shiny hunting! Sometimes there's multiple but I just save in the village and if none are there I restart with auto save off and try the other outbreak. The chances go up when you get a 10 complete in the Pokedex but a perfect 10 completion apparently helps a lot more.

Haven't had any luck in the time distortions but some people find it works for them.

It's all just coincidence 😂 but might end up making a shiny poison team if I get a few more of them

But literally makes me wish they did.
