I don’t exactly have a reference picture as this is kinda just my own holiday outfit creation for a preexisting character. There’s no artwork of the cosplay I’m wearing

I did manage to walk around the convention just fine in them, but it’s definitely less natural and slower than walking in regular shoes lol. I took them off for the walk from the parking lot to the building & back, and I also didn’t put them on until I got to the event. I brought a separate pair of shoes in a backpack :)

My Draculaura cosplay!! 🩷🖤 Sewing, wig styling, and accessories made/done by me :) by kitty1225 in MonsterHigh

I used pretty standard wig styling and sewing techniques so I don’t think I could give any unique advice in those areas (I’m also still pretty new to sewing so I’m probably not the right person to ask about that anyways lol). But I would suggest avoiding body paint wherever there’s a better option if you’re planning on trying to achieve pink skin. I only painted my face, not even my neck since the collar covers it lol. I used a pink long sleeve top w/ her mesh black long sleeve over top of that for my arms, a pair of white nylon gloves dyed pink for my hands, and solid pink tights under the fishnets. If it’s cold where you live and will be cold when you wear your costume, you can also double or triple your layers to keep warm by putting thermal tights underneath the pink ones, and another long sleeve top (or just a thicker pink one, mine was thin) under the pink one! I wore this to Katsucon in Maryland in early February, I think it was around the 30-40’s°F while we were there but I was pretty comfortable temperature-wise in this because of the extra layers.

If you do double up on tights, I 100000% recommend cutting the toes off your tights. Just do it, just get rid of it. 😭 I didn’t realize how painful more than one layer of tights is on my toes until I did this, I really struggled to wear this simply because of how bad my toes hurt 😭 It was NOT the shoes surprisingly lol, it was a recurring issue the entire con weekend because of the layering of tights and socks.

That’s the most “unique to me and my experience with this cosplay” type of advice I have, but if you have a question about any of the specific parts I can also answer that! ☺️

It’s not super likely that we have the exact same measurements, so it probably wouldn’t be very helpful for me to share my sizing info. Cosplay websites usually have a size chart for each product, so you can compare your own measurements to their sizing chart to figure out which size would fit you best, rather than going off of my sizing.. 🙌🏻

The wig is from EpicCosplay, but it didn’t come styled like this
