Description
Last May, ~ThoronWild and I decided to go to ~CosplayFever 's stand, and get some awesome photos of our costumes. It was a long queue, but it was worth it, and we had ~smallfry09 to keep us company :3*DawnKestrel as femme Cloud
~ThoronWild as Red XIII
both from Final Fantasy VII

thank you!!~~ Reno is awesome, I'm sure you'd suit him ^^ And his hair's one of the easier ones to style, if that's what you're worried about.

Your very welcome! :3 awww thank you, i do love Reno XD
ah well thats good to know! what im worried about though is getting hold of a wig period cause my mums being stingy about me using her money on ebay :C

Ah, now that could be a problem. Though I could recommend a couple of online wig stores instead (I've had a bad experience with eBay so far, but it is the cheapest option if you can find the right sort of seller).
[link] - that's the wig one of my friends got, but it is a bit pricey. If you're looking at a style like that, I would avoid choosing a bright red, and suggest a darker red instead. It will turn out better in bright light or photos.
[link] - amphigory is a good website to buy from, and has a wide range of wigs. They're a bit, no, a LOT cheaper than Cosworx most of the time, and offer many styles not available on the other website. And although I haven't bought from here yet, I plan to in the future because of recommendations. The red one I've linked you to is one of my favourites, though the bright ends get saturated very easily in photos.
*long comment is long*

i used to be but my mum siad if i didnt learn myself i could go around with my zip permenantly down |D so she taught me how, im useless at sweing buttons though all the twisting round and everything and i always ended up breaking it ^^'

xD I've never tried sewing buttons..... probably because I have very little patience for small things like that ><
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD trust me when i say dont try it its really fiddly and very annoying .3.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll have to take your advice then xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dont get used to that theres going to be a lot of me taking your advice X''D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD I'm just glad to be of some assistance~ I remember when I started cosplaying, I never asked anyone online for help, when I should have known that it's a lot simpler to just ask someone how they did it xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

^^ I have my grandparents to help me out, and *luckily* they have a LOT of experience making things. We're aiming to find the weaving machine soon to try to make some jumpers <3 (baring in mind that this is about the size of a dining table xD).
And I don't mind
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww thats cool :3 my mum can help me with some things but not much, shes gonna take me to some classes to learn needle work and whatnot .3. mostly to help her more then cosplay i think though XD
and omg thats epic!! .A. making your own jumpers X3
and being the size of a dining table makes it more epic XDDD

xD A good book to get is the Reader's Digest Complete Guide to sewing, since it includes practically everything you could ever want to know
yeah :3 I'm going to make a test one soon, then design some patterns (kuribohs mainly <3)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahh thank yous! thats such a good idea :3 you are a fountain of knowlage! CX and i would love to make a kuriboh when i learn how X33
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kuribohs are pretty simple when it comes to the pattern, the only problem I've found is getting the right materials
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awww well then it will be a good first plush to make then, yeah i was thinking that .3. what material is good
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
:3 well, you want to ideally get some sort of fur, though it's really up to personal taste and how big the kuriboh will be to decide what length the fur should be.
I'm making a Ruby plushie at the moment :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
www a ruby plush epic!! X3 and yeah i see what you mean with the material :3 i think i want a really fluffy one XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For that, you may need to buy long white fur, then use watered down acrylic paints to dye it, since I've found long brown fur hard to find, but I think Ray managed to get some?

ah thanx :3 and really? .3. i'll ask her about that, maybe she could tell me where to get some or something
