The third photo is awesome!

xD It was so nice to take pictures outside, as there were tress AND buildings, ya know? Set the mood, lol <3

I saw both your TWEWY and Dagger cosplahy . I'm really impressed :3 and I love the pictures taken~

Yay, I was recognized! <3 Thank you- the whole weekend was so fun!

You were all sooooo fucking cute! I was jealous of you guys the entire time since my outfit was kind of a crap shoot. LOL! *cuddles you all*

We'll be the sexiest pirates this summer, you just wait! M3

I'm sorry that the shoot ended up migrating, but I'm glad we ran into you in the end, at least for a little while~. I was a Sho that weekend~.

I saw you when I was in my Princess Garnet costume! Drat it! Ah, that's what I get for changing costumes three times a day, lol <3

Mind if I ask where you're from?

Way out in Montana. Which I why I wasn't there on Sunday. Had an 8 hour drive home~.

Daaaang. I thought a 5 hour drive was bad x.x You win.

<3

I know, right? I'll have a bunch more of your moogle costume up soon- I'll be doing cosplay.com and myspace photo dumps later tonight.

OMg THAT WAS YOU! I was looking for every Shiki out at the con and I was like is that Jessica?!?!? but wasn't sure lol now I am! XD oh well I wish we exchanged #'s before but oh well :) next big con XD! I'm beat and tired and I had alot of fun!
I'm also glad you made it back safely! email me when you want to start the write up for GEN :)

Haha, yes, that one was meee- I was looking for you, but when I called out your name people looked at me like I was crazy. Next year, we'll have a meet up and go out for lunch or something!!!

hells yes XD lol I know I wanted to yell out your name but the last time I did that thinking it was my other friend I felt like a noob lol

did you or whoever make that catdoll? i love it

No, the cat was the only part of the costume I didn't make. I had it made professionally by the most talented Heza Chan <3

Whoa, that's some awesome cosplay right there!! By the way, did you buy the yellow sweatshirt thing, or make it? Just wondering, because I'm making a Shiki cosplay myself, and I can't find even something to adjust anywhere...

I actually made everything for both the Shiki and Neku costumes, minus the Mr.Mew plushie, by hand. And, to tell you the truth, I didn't use a pattern.

What I did was this: I cut the basic shape for a t-shirt (so I had two identical pieces of fabric, back to front) and cut a large portion out of the middle of one of them (for the opening of the jacket). I made a hood and attached it, and then made the trim (the white part) and simply sewed it on.

Huh... cool! Generally when I make cosplays, I try to find pieces and adjust them- I just find it so much easier. Like, for the shirt, I bought a pink tank top in a thrift store, and cut a lot off the bottom, and then I'm just going to buy brown fabric for the trim... but yeah, that actually doesn't sound too hard for the sweatshirt! I was worried it would be a whole production to do it... thanks! :D

If I might make a suggestion, use brown paper grocery bags and make your own patterns =) That's what I do. They are free when you buy groceries, and they are really easy to draw on and manipulate.

Also, if you're unsure of how a pattern will turn out after you cut it, and don't want to waste your nice fabric, purchase flat/top sheets at places like Good Will or Value Village- I find sheets for about $1 to $4 there all the time, and it saves me bundles versus having to waste the nice fabric I bought for the actual costume. Also, I figure how how to sew the garment exactly how I want to without having any mistakes on the final product.

Well... most of the grocery stores I go to don't use paper bags anymore- they use plastic ones. Because they just care about the environment so very, very much. </ sarcasm>

But I might still be able to tape regular pieces of paper together or something, so that would work... thanks for the idea! :D

Try going to an office supply store and buying butcher/brown paper =) Any color works, and even if you have to spend a little bit more than you'd normally want in order to get the whole roll, it will be a LOOONG time before you'd ever need more.
