Hella Big Skirts panel

Ever wanted to make a hella skirt? Wondering how to keep your hella big skirt puffy? Join cosplayer fabrickind to learn the ins and outs of patterning, sewing, and supporting the large, fluffy skirts of your dreams!

This is just the bare bones of the panel, as many of the examples were elaborated on in-person, and it is just the slides, not any of my notes. It is not meant to be exhaustive or definitive, and is just meant for general advice and suggestion purposes only. If anyone has feedback they would like to give, feel free to do so. That said, I hope that people find this information useful.

Here is a link to a pdf of the presentation. You may download for personal use, but please do not alter the presentation, repost without permission, or do any sort of other unauthorized use. (If you have a question about how you can use this presentation, please send me a message with your question and we can work it out. I promise I’m not scary. ;]) Feel free to reblog this post as much as you want, though. I do these panels and post them because I want the information to be shared.

I hope someone finds this helpful! :]

Hello gamers! I've posted a new video!!!

This is a guide for both newbie and seasoned cosplayers on how to survive ANY convention. Even if you think you know it all, you might discover something you hadn't thought of before 👀

I hope you love it ♥️

cosplayers, may I present to you…..

✨ shaded braid ✨

These two braids are otherwise identical but on the left, I used inexpensive alcohol markers to add some extra shadows into braided wig fiber so that it’d photograph with more dimension, much in the way you’d black wash a miniature or prop! It took such little time for such a dramatic result. It’s also hard to overdo this because if you put too much on, a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a swab will erase it!

Cosplay tip/reminder: you can use hot glue for casting shapes! I used this method to decorate my Lady Death scythe! I sculpted a rose, made a mould of silicone rubber, then used hot glue to cast. I use this method pretty often for myself & commissions!

i am so disappointed...

it is hard to see, but i know it is always there. why are fellow cosplayers always putting one another down for being amazing, fun, and creative!? i am a huge supporter of “inaccurate” cosplays. i love when people add fun accessories or spice it up and make it their own! cosplay has so much self expression and creativity at the very core of this hobby. i wish we would support people being themselves and having fun instead of commenting on how it isn’t “accurate” or how it is “silly”. make silly faces! exaggerate yourself and movements! put 20 clips in your hair/wig! have fun makeup! make your cosplay your own. it is after all your cosplay... not anyone else’s!

i know it is hard (i especially feel this) to not be effected by the numbers and people’s comments, but cosplay should be fun. we get lost sometimes on social media looking for love and approval from others. remember to always have fun and be yourself even when dressing up as someone else entirely!
