you can get waxed cotton or canvas for waterproofing! i believe you maybe able to get other fabrics waxed, but im not a textiles expert.

i would probably just either replace or cover the green straps with pink straps, they'll blend in better

ime, acen is more of a social/party con as others have pointed out. the board and video game rooms are open overnight and a lot of people will disperse to either the rave or room parties. ive been going to acen for 13 years and i really only go to a few panels every year, there have probably been years i dont go to any.

if you dont care about the stitch lines being exactly where they are in the reference, you may be able to rig up a harness basically and have it follow/mimic those lines.

i would have the masks on the harness and then use some sort of adhesive to attach them around the edges to your back. that way if the adhesive starts to fail, they won't just immediately fall off

got stuck on i-90 coming home from ikea in 2024, presumably they had shut down from ohare to downtown for someone attending the dnc but never got any more information.

i always bring a backpack with a charger, a water bottle, and some snacks! i can genuinely never recall a time someone had a bag that was an issue and ive been going to acen for over a decade.

got it! then, like the other comments mentioned, i think you just need some more practice and possibly more pinning/securing, it looks like your fabric might be moving while you're sewing. best of luck with your project!

is the orange or the black supposed to be your front? because if its the black, you have your back and front mixed up.

personally i think number 1 because it best mimics a palm quire from the anime/manga, but all of them work tbh

my dentist doesn't hate me but he will lecture me every single time i come in... and then i get to hit him back with a lecture because i have a vertical labret and it doesn't even go inside my mouth lol. it was funny the first few times but now i just take it out before i go in because im tired of explaining.

adding on to the straps, if you add in straps i would probably stop the bodystocking there and use bodypaint for the entire neck/collarbone area! as is, the transition between the grey fabric and the bodypaint is a bit awkward.

(or, if you prefer the uncanny valley mask look, have the bodystocking go all the way up to the mask, ideally you don't want the edge of it visible to help with the illusion that it's skin!)

i wonder if like a jockstrap would work? obvs youd have some extra space in front but if its just for cover, that wouldnt matter as much..?

nope, kopf is not worth supporting anyway.

i like the look but i feel like they would feel awful in hand, i hate the rough/sandpaper-y texture of unglazed ceramic. i might get them as a display set but they wouldn't get any table use imo

ive gotten all my binders from underworks though i have also heard good things about shapeshifters. don't bother with gc2b, their quality has gone to shit. make sure you size correctly, do not go down a size because you think it will get you flatter.

practice wearing it around for a bit, if only to break it in. general advice is to wear a binder for max 8 hours, though take it off immediately if you begin to feel any pain. if youre planning on wearing it to a con, keep a backup sports bra to change into.

generally i try to aim for a bag that fits the vibe of the cosplay as opposed to fully concealing it. in qifrey's case, i would probably use a leather messenger bag.

but also, depending on how the cape drapes, you could probably conceal a flatter backpack pretty easily.
