So I have completely failed in my attempt to make a costume. I forgot how hard it is to find something for someone my height and size, (a short, larger body individual.) and uh.. everything went wrong. Both jumpsuits I got were both too big and too small at the same time (sleeves too long but too tight on the body.), the wig looked all wrong; both in color and shape.. plus I wasn't able to style it like I needed to, the cuffs were too small and digging into my wrists, plus they were both different and just made the costume look weird, and the bookbags straps weren't in and idk how to get them in without the tab to stop the straps from coming out again...
The only thing that DID work was boots and gloves. And it's pissed me off so much I about had a meltdown- I know that sounds dramatic but I was super excited to make the costume. I tried looking for helmets, asked around to see if anyone had ideas, the whole 9 yards... Just for it to fail horribly. I don't have the money to make my own, so I'm just going to return it and stick with what I can do... Probably a bat or a cat for Halloween :(
(for reference, this is what I looked like, minus the boots because I couldn't find somewhere to pose a full body, plus censoring for privacy <3)
And... This is who I was supposed to be ↓
As you see on the costume, the 1 piece is too tight around the chest, but sleeves cover my hands and the cuffs. I could barely get into/out of it.
The helmet pieces I couldn't find, I looked for the glass or plastic dome like the video I saw suggested, but when I couldn't find one, I had the people with me concerned, thinking it'd be too heavy or shatter and hurt me.. so I ended up not getting that either.
And to top it all off? I think I'm fucking allergic to the material of it or something, cause I'm breaking out like hell. I have bumps and rashes all down my arms, my legs, and on my back. So... Great >:[
It's gotten me so upset, and now I'm currently just going through the emotions while trying to return everything. Idk if I'll be able to tho, so whatever I can't return I'll probably try to give away or sell. :T
