I altered a bear suit I bought on amazon (changed the face, ear and hood insides and the buttons) so it looks more like Lain’s. It was surprisingly warm - especially the fleece lined fleece hood over the wig - but also very comfy.
SEL was one of the animes that left a lasting impression with me. Back when I was still cosplaying I always felt too old to do the character justice, so now that I do not cosplay “seriously” anymore and was visiting a famous tech-conference in germany this felt like the perfect occasion to dress up as my all time favourite imaginary hacker ;)
The hair ornament was a royal pita… it is craft foam on a hair elastic and the transparent double sided glue-tape did not stick very well on the wig. (Seen only on the finished pictures, on the one where I still have to change the suit’s face it’s just string…)
Unfortunately because the conference was so dark I did not take any real posed pictures. I gave away the suit to a friend of mine who is an even bigger lain fan so no new pictures for now but I will make myself another one for sure!
Oh... and yes... I had no brown circle lenses ready so I wore grey ones instead but next time I will!
