We'll, after attending this year's Armageddon and seeing cosplays, it made me want to cosplay myself.

I think I'll cosplay as Kuchiki Rukia, since I'm Asian and average height.
I need help on identifying the parts of the shinigami uniform and the fabric.

I have a friend's mum who will help sew the costume.

Kimono/yukata: Undershirt is white
The outer layer is black
Hakama: Pleats, all the way round. I found some patterns online though, Black.
Sash/obi: White. Strips of fabric.
Socks-tabi: White.
Warajii: grass sandals. Ebay?
Hair: Gel. Please reconmmened strongest type of gel without damaging your hair.
Zanpakutou: Paper mache? Wire? Polyester? Suggestions please.
Soul candy: Paper mache with cardboard frame.

Welcome any suggestions. :D

PEZ is probably the best idea for Soul Candy... but if you can find a PEZ knockoff that gives out gumballs, it would be better.

I remember the lame PEZ ads we used to have a few years ago....

Yeah, And I can mache the head over into a rabbit. :D
Polyester? I think I'll need to make a sheaf as well.

Sol 1337th, that would by very helpful if she could give me some tips.

I know now what sort of yukata is worn and the hakama.....

But the sandals are the main problem. O_O How am I going to get the sandals? I checked Ebay and there were some auctions.

For the sandals, you can take a slipper and after you can roll up Scotch tape (It's good?) and choice the color of scotch, add a string to look for Ichigo! Like this

I think the best idea for the sword would be to make one out of wood... if you have a steak 9for holding up trees) just go and widdle it with a knife untill it looks schweet.
that, or use cardboard to make it, jsut keep using very thin strips and add more and more onto it, untill it is the right size, then paper mache it.

You could *buy* a sword too. Some novelty sword shops sell them for as low as $20, though constant abuse WILL destroy them. There are also several places that sell replica swords (Not intended for use of course). Some more famous than others, like Sephiroth's sword.

Like some sort of Daft Punk....

Oh, I realized that New Zealand doesn't sell PEZ.....
I think I'll buy the sandals off eBay.

Hahaha.... *buy* a word.... yeah, I know the Sepphy ones. I think cardboard or polyester is the best solution.

And the gel? What sort of gel would work? Wax?

You could always use white glue, if push comes to shove. But there are some better gels sold at salons, I don't know the names, or if there are sold in New Zealand, but I could talk to some of my friends who use gel. But I won't see them til school starts in a week.

I saw this ad in Empire magazine, it was Garnier Fruitus Manga Hair gel. Lol, the ad was funny. A person's head with spiky hair pasted onto the body of a DragonBall Z character.

I want to see that. XD

I'm thinking of cosplaying as a Boktai character at AX this year, but I can't decide between Django (DS version), Black Django, or Django. I'd do Sabata, but I don't think I can pull off the hair. ><"

Yay, get a wig then. Gel it.

Yes, but what height are you? How "round" (aka (|=47) are you? Find a character to suit your physical characteristics, and a costume that's not too hard to make.

I'm 5' 10" last time I checked, I weight about 125~130 pounds. And by "round" do you mean waist size? It's 32. My hair is dirty blond, but more brown, and I have a few freckles. Ya, no one I want to cosplay as has freckles. ><"

By "round" I meant fat. >_>
I can't measure imperial, you'll have to give me metric.... <_<

I suppose you should go as Django. His hair colour is more closer to yours. Wigs are messy and annoying.

I suppose so, try this:
