Cosplay Options

[Saffy]

I really never thought I would make a topic like this, but going to conventions and dressing up is quite fun even though I've only done it once so far. On that note, this topic is not for making fun of cosplayers.

So, who here cosplays or has considered doing it? Who have you dressed up as? Would like to?

I may be going to Anime North this year and I'm quite hopeful I can dress up as Kurt :]

So. I've become a little more serious with this whole costume thing, and I've convinced myself that I can do it. I'm still set on Rin Kagamine, and I have a good idea of how I can go about pulling it off. For one, the hair and headphones aren't a problem, and I already have black shorts, buuut.

I still would probably have to do some sewing/making parts of the costume myself. Spoon & I made our Halloween costumes two years ago, so I know my way around a sewing machine (for the most part). Plus Spoon's mom oh so conveniently has one, so I can probably persuade her to let me in her house over the coming months to use it, lulz.

I just have a fewww questions that I'd like some feedback on, I suppose.
Using this as a reference…

A. How would I go about making that capelet? I have a basic idea in my head, but I guess I'd need to know for sure how much fabric I'd need. Also wonder how I'd attach it to the top.
B. For the arm/leg cuffs, should I use elastic in the upper holes so that it wouldn't screw with my arm?
C. For both "bows", should I use the kind of ribbon that's ribbed with wire?

.w.
So yeah. A suggestion or two would be nice?
