Hi! I'm looking into making a rapunzel cosplay and was wondering if you had any links to helpful tutorials, recommendations for fabrics or wigs or anything else that would be helpful! I've made an Anna cosplay before but with a lot of help and now I'm really nervous rapunzel will be super difficult!! Thank you! 😊😊
A while back, I made of posts of pattern suggestions for Rapunzel, so here’s a link to that: http://ilovedisneycosplay.tumblr.com/post/136715509304/tangled-pattern-suggestions
For fabrics, spoonflower has screen accurate fabrics for her bodice and center skirt panel. If you don’t want to use those, brocade, cotton, or even a lace overlay on satin will work. It’s your cosplay, so make it your way :). A lot of people, including myself have used special occasion satin (not to be confused with cheap costume satin) for the skirt. If you live in the U.S., JoAnn Fabrics has their Casa Collection and their silky solids, which are both really nice to use.
As for wigs, Epic Cosplay and arda-wigs are both reliable, high quality wig stores where you can find wigs for both her blond and brunette looks. If you want to do her braid, there are tutorials out there (one, two, three) or you can buy a prestyled, ready to wear wig on etsy.
That’s all I can think of for now and I hope this is able to help you! Good luck with your cosplay and be sure to share pictures when you’re done~
