You know what's really funny about that.Originally Posted by Cimanim
Yeah, same.I've never been to a convention before. I've never felt the need to cosplay. Heck, I don't even watch anime. Pfffft, some geek I am.
Although I do think some cosplayers look really cool.
Yes, but there are some that make you think, "Wth were you thinking.."
Others are like, "OMG you are AMAZING"
Normally the people who have the costume that everyone is all "Dude..." they're the one's that actually get someone to make their costume. xD They either don't have the ability to sew or don't want to fork out the cash for fabrics and such, so they'll basically go to a custom clothing designer hand them a picture of what they want, they sew it with some cheapo fabric and since they don't have much insight into what the character actually looks like it ends up being really plain and just bad to look at.
The one's that have the "Oh Wow! That's awesome!" costumes normally make it themselves, alot of times people will cosplay as people from the same series so they can help each other sew on things so it's a really fun team effort. Alot of con-goers take sewing classes just to be able to make costumes, and some of them even make some to look great but they sell them to people who know to NOT go to a custom clothing maker.
