Does It Really Matter If You Make Your Own Cosplays? Do you have to make all your own costumes to be a "real" cosplayer? Absolutely not. | |
Well, I'm not a cosplayer, but there is one character I always wanted to "cosplay". And so if I finally step up and do it, it will be very likely, that I buy most of the stuff and not try to learn how to sew my own costumes. (hopefully it is not addicting ... :P) | |
As someone who has both worn premade and homemade costumes... I kinda disagree, on a personal level. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that I go around turning my elitist nose down on anyone walking out of the dealer room wiearing an eveelution hoodie, that's not what I mean, But it's definitely much less self-gratifying, you know? Getting a compliment on something I've sewn together makes me more confident in my skills, getting props for something I've ordered just makes me glad I have a paycheck. Besides that, some of the best parts of cosplay is messing up. I've done some cosplay so hilariously bad it's left me in stitches. | |
