I shall have to keep this to look on ow and then. Though I am no longer doing my cosplay thang this is generally good advise when crafting clothing. Nice piece, especially being broken up by an image.
One valuable lessons I learned about wigs was to buy a styrofoam head or wig stand to both keep it on and use when styling it. Gives you a much better idea of how the wig is going to look and the shape of the head.
Ick, fabric dying is something I've never had the greatest luck with. My friends washer turned orange when we did it... though actually, the X-Wing pilot suit didn't turn out too bad. Guess we just needed to learn how to clean up better.
Mein Goooooooooooooooott! Thank you for making this! I did a really two-bit L cosplay at my first con and this is a great help for doing another costume. I learned a valuable lesson when making a Kisuke wig: DO NOT BUTCHER IT BEFORE YOU TRY IT ON!!!!!!!!! That and my stupid robe wouldn't dye green...I fail at cosplaying. Great article! b^-^d
