Oh, pissssh...it's really no big deal. Of course, I'll always accept love. :) I'm just really detail oriented, so I tend to break everything down and like to keep organized. Also, I dd a Cosplay Construction workshop that does cover this kind of stuff, so the more I try to help people, the better my...

There are a lot of good references here... http://www.northarc.com/images/mononoke/ Her outfit is pretty simple, and yes, I believe a beginner can pull it off. The hard part is that mask. I think with time and patience, a good one can be made if you wanted to do a masked version. But even if you did...

I make time when I can. I don't mind, really. I wouldn't post if I did. :) I'm not overly familiar with FFX or FFX2...only what I've seen due to helping a friend with her Paine research. Honestly, I'm getting sick of seeing FF stuff. There's like always a bazillion Rikku and Yuna running around at e...

Well, if you are new to sewing, then it's best to look at possible cosplays that don't have too many details, use basic patterns, etc. Once you get some practice...then try attacking some of the more difficult costumes. What are some of the series you've seen? Which characters do you like? Those are...

OH! That Paine. I'm an idiot. Obviously I'm not much of a FF person. I only know about Paine because my friend cosplays her. Why is it Paine is always almost half naked?! Sheesh. Yeah...you'd need stretch material like the kind is used for leotards, swimsuits, and the like. Are you good at sewing? I...

Can you post some reference images so some of us can see the costume you are wanting to construct. I'm not familiar with the character or series.

Asukaisms, do you have any photos of the completed sandals? I'd love to see!

I'd love to see photos of the completed outfit.

Because you designated as such, I'm going to resist the urge to combine Gosuloli with Kurorori....unless a demented, two-headed stuffed rag kitty would somehow make it into Gosu. Honestly, there's no need to "stay" within one style or another, but that's just how things are defined in general. Seri...

Gosuloli (AKA Gothic Lolita, GothLoli, LoliGoth) is mysterious or scary with less frills where Kurorori (Black Lolita) is cute and has frills. Gosuloli often wear crosses and carry purses in the shape of bats, coffins, and crucifixes. Typical fabric consists of velvet and taffeta (in America, during...

Although I personally dislike Pop Gothic , it seems they do carry stuff that may prove helpful. As suggested by others, sometimes you can find jems at places like Goodwill, Savers, and other thrift stores. Check in the prom dress section...I actually raided a Savers in the area when doing a ghetto W...

Oh, thanks. I wish I had a better photo of the actual pattern pieces. I just haven't had time to dig them out again and re-do them. Most of my costuming notes I keep over on Trae's Cosplay, but I've seen so many threads about this topic that I'd though I'd share. Hopefully someone will find it usefu...

i have read some people asking what fabric to make them from, but i need some tips on how to actully amake them. I can tell you how I made ours ...I made three pairs...ugh...will never do that again!
