Whether you do that with a t-shirt and a few accessories or a hand-built suit of armor, you're going to have so many positive encounters that I guarantee you'll get hooked.

It's definitely something you can do at any level, and you can begin anywhere you like. I saw a great gender-bender cosplay of Captain America that I loved, and contacted the creator to ask if I could wear it too (she used a freely available pattern to make the dress, and customised the decorations). She was all for it, and so I got it made by someone, added some accessories and off I went. I'd read ONE Captain America comic at that point. Still have, in fact. I had the best time wearing that dress, and still grin when I see it in my wardrobe. I wore it to Free Comic Book Day here in Melbourne, and had the greatest moment when I was walking past a comic book store, and someone outside yelled out to me, 'Woah, love your outfit!' I was so rapt. <br /><br />There are other people I've seen who wear just a printed t-shirt and jeans, who keep it really low-key. <br /><br />Look, there are always going to be people who want to drag you down. But the vast majority of cosplayers that I know, are super encouraging and really nice, and would never, EVER, tell someone not to bother. <br /><br />Personally, if you are interested in cosplaying, I'd say, go for it. Choose the outfit you want, and work out if you can make it (or parts of it), and if you can thrift it, or if you need to enlist someone's help - and then start saving! Choose an occasion to unveil your masterpiece, and work to get it done. It's a real thrill working on it, and feeling like it will happen, and the first time you wear that outfit, you will feel a hundred feet tall, and no loser will be able to bring you down. <br /><br />Go for it, Anonymous, and share some pics when you're done! <br /><br />Jess the Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671684136671371294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-65299598424222719242014-08-16T20:11:23.020-04:002014-08-16T20:11:23.020-04:00That Elsa and frozen Anna is absolutely brilliant!...That Elsa and frozen Anna is absolutely brilliant!

They take over costume contests and rig them so that the show's "participants" (read: Cast) win. <br /><br />Cosplay is, when NOT being profiteered from by SyFy Channel, meant for fun and enjoyment. Plenty of people go big, yes, but the fun of it is going to the cons, finding people who like the same things you do, getting your picture taken and taking other peoples pictures, and just having FUN. A lot of people go simple, and a lot of people go elaborate. <br /><br />It's all about what you feel comfortable doing. I know a lot of people work their way up in terms of extravagance, but not everyone goes that far. <br /><br />Sorry if I intruded, I just have a friend in the anime convention cosplay circuit, and a lot of people I know from around her are upset about that show.
