So far I have been very lucky and never had a costume go completely wrong on me. I have had a few occasions where I have had to remake certain parts of a costume, Lulu’s belt skirt was a nightmare Motochika’s sleeves I tried several times to get right. I had to settle for something I wasn’t entirely happy with but didn’t have time to redo them.
I think that my favourite cosplay
to date has to be Pang Tong from Dynasty Warriors
6 as this is my most accurate costume. I
poured a lot of love into that cosplay so I was so
happy that it was well received and I got some nice
photographs of me wearing it.
Also Lulu from Final Fantasy X is another
favourite costume of mine as it was the first
costume I made from almost scratch and although it
had me in tears (damn that belt skirt) on several
occasions when making it and wearing it (I have the
scar to prove it) but I am extremely proud of the
finished cosplay.
My favourite prop is the shamisen I made for my
Motochika Chosukabe cosplay as he has the instrument
as weapon. I was very proud of that prop as I
created it from nothing and without following any
sort of tutorial. It was a lot of work but so
beautiful and now it sits in the dinning room until
I can find a good home for it as I haven’t the heart
to just shove it in the loft.
