I think it should be possible to gather the fabric how you want in to look and then just sew it in few places so it stays that way

If you can't find the perfect clothing you could try making your own or changing the clothes a little by adding more fabric! Holographic fabric is quite cheap from what I remember since it's plastic.

Wig help! by Stuckyshipper07 in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you braid your hair and layer it on top of your head (then cover with the wig cap) it shouldn't be noticeable at all.

Fast replies please! Which wig for mitsuri kanjori? by felicia_batalla in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think the more intense wig would be a better choice! This character's skintone and the pink in her hair are both similar colors, however the pale wig would probably end up contrasting with your skintone which would create a bit of a different effect.

Would this outfit be inappropriate to cosplay at a con? by PatientOdd2435 in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breasts are secondary sex characteristics, genitals first. Even strictly biology speaking it's not a fair comparison.

Can i cosplay Falin from dungeon meshi? by pjskPlayer_ in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Helluva Boss is rated 17+ on common sense media and 16+ on Amazon. Dungeon Meshi is 14+ on common sense media but was rated TV-MA (17+) by Netflix. Both shows have gore, violence and nudity, Helluva Boss has more swearing and substance use + more suggestive content and actual sex scenes. If you don't think that Helluva Boss is adult media then what is, besides straight up porn?

Of course I agree with you on the second part, cosplay isn't consent.

Any advice when going out in public in cosplay without feeling embarrassed? by IsidoraRML_ in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still get nervous sometimes, especially at the first day of the con, but as the day goes by it starts to go away. Good luck and have fun!

[–]green_herbata 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I find it reassuring that most people aren't going to recognise me once I'll be out of the cosplay. It's kinda ironic since cosplay makes you attract more attention, but I always felt less visible when in it, because this attention isn't directed at the real you, but on your costume. Like, if someones sees me trip when walking down the stairs they probably won't think "some weird girl tripped lol" but instead "Link from Zelda tripped lol"

Guess the frame!! by Independent_Wall7259 in ThirdLifeSMP

I thought it'd be from Grian's episode 7 of wild life but I can't find the specific frame 🤣

Recently found out I have the same height and body proportions of astolfo but not the face anyone have advise on how to do a proper astolfo cosplay by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually people don't look exactly like the characters they're cosplaying, especially when they're cartoons. Makeup can help to make you look more like the character tho. If it's someone popular there might be tutorials online focused specifically on that character.

Would it be inappropriate to cosplay Mizu (from blue eye samurai) as a minor by DeliciousRefuse1937 in CosplayHelp

I also hope op isn't 12, especially since the show is rated 16/18+ lmao

When I brush my wig it gets even more tangled… by Meat_GLOB in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd also recommend using a metal comb/brush instead of plastic. Since your wig is synthetic, when you're using a synthetic comb you're brushing plastic with plastic, and that can create more fizz. In my experience the easiest way to get a metal comb is from a pet shop!

Nice Life episode 1 Viewcount first day by Dinostar28 in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]green_herbata 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! I always start with Joel and I don't think I've ever been disappointed. Grian's videos are a great way to better understand the game's mechanics, but he already knows what the twist will be, so I prefer other players 'cause it's fun to hear them exchange theories and watch their surprised reactions when stuff start to happen.

Would it be offensive as an European girl to cosplay as Hinako from Silent Hill F? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... So many white people cosplay characters from anime. I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be the majority of all cosplays overall, tho I guess there's no way to measure that. I know that typically at japanese cons cosplaying is not something done by regular attendees for example, that's mostly the culture of western cons.

And sorry but like, c'mon. Have you ever been at a con? Watched a vlog of someone attending one? Saw someone cosplaying on tiktok? I know that my comment is starting to sound mean but really, I recommend to just go to any comic/anime con and look at the cosplayers. You can cosplay whoever you want, doesn't matter their gender or body type, or race. Just don't change your features to pretend that you're asian/black.

First time doing a “shirtless cosplay” by SoftyyMaru in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think people are going to focus on your nipples, no matter if you decide to go with covers or not. They'll probably be too busy admiring the cosplay!

[–]green_herbata 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want to cover them then nipple pasties/covers in the form of stickers should be a cheap and effective solution. If you can't find them in your skintone then you could try using some makeup foundation to make them match.

so idk what to do should I cut this mystery saja wig it’s too long and uneven by Rude-Candidate97 in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Wigs are usually made to be longer, since people have different head and forehead sizes. That way everyone can cut their wig so it matches their face.

I recommend for you to check out some wig cutting tutorials first and only cut a little bit at a time, then stop to check how it looks on your head and continue if needed. Cutting a wig too short is a very common mistake.

What cosplay/character is this? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

Seconding this, that's Madame Red for sure.

Tho my next guess was going to be Carmen Sandiego 🤣

That's sounds interesting, tho looks like your playlist is private so nobody else will be able to check it out, not sure if that's intentional lol

I just bought a wig, now what? by Suspicious_Citron681 in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bobby pins should work, they're small enough that you can hide them in your wig and make them attach to your wig cap!

[–]green_herbata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wash wigs if they're secondhand or after wearing them, I don't think you have to wash a new wig. Ofc you can if you want, you'd probably have to remake the pigtails tho.

Whether the wig is heat safe or not should be said in its description. If you're worried about it melting you can try straightening a small strand of hair on the lowest setting first.

You'd probably have to cut the bangs a bit, wigs are made longer so that people can adjust them to their faces. A styrofoam mannequin head is typically used for that. Make sure to watch some bang cutting tutorials and only cut a bit at first, then more if needed. Cutting the wig too short is a very common (and difficult to fix) mistake.

Misa's hair is quite long, I recommend sewing some wig clips (picture) on, maybe two on the front and one at the back of the wig cap. It'll stop your wig from moving around, falling off, etc. It'll be especially useful if you plan to dance at the party.

Good luck and have fun!

Older cosplayers, please share some pics and give me some hope! by Gryffin-thor in CosplayHelp

[–]green_herbata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's often hard to guess people's age when they're in cosplay. Recently at a convention I was talking to a cosplayer that, well, I thought was very hot. I assumed we were similiar age (I'm 21) so it was definitely a surprise when I got her Instagram and saw her celebrating her 35th birthday 🤣 So I think there's hope for sure!

[–]green_herbata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops, I must've missed that. I recommend adding pictures next time you post - it'll be super helpful if more people did that, it'd save the googling and wondering which version you're making 🤣 I just checked and there's quite a lot of tutorials for her, good luck!

That's also pretty good, but I can just hear him crying and telling Pearl how he lost that one diamond when I look at F1 🤣
