- Cosplay Time and Date
- Who you want to cosplay
- Where do you buy cosplay
Wear your costume around before the con, to make sure that you can move around in it, or that things don't start slipping/pinching/falling apart after a little while. At home, there's lots of time to make adjustments and fixes. And also you could buy the black panther cosplay costume
Don't worry if you're not as good as some of the veteran or professional cosplayers out there. Those cosplayers started somewhere too, and with practice, you too will eventually get good.
Figure out who you want to cosplay. Cosplay can come from anywhere; books, movies, tv shows, anime, manga, video games, comics, etc. Think of a media that you really enjoy and then find a character that you like from it, whether it be that you like the outfit or their personality. (Or both!)
Figure out whether you want to make the costume yourself or buy one. There is no shame in buying a costume, no matter what anyone thinks. Some people enjoy the work of making their costumes and some people just enjoy wearing them. It's up to you. You can find pre made ones online, or even commission another cosplayer.
Figure out your skill level. Do you have basic sewing skills down? Do you know how to make props? Can you style a wig? Take these into consideration of what you can accomplish. A ball gown,full armor, or a complex wig for example might not be the best for a beginner.
Gather your resources. The internet is a wonderful place to go to find cosplay resources. Cosplayers are always posting tutorials on how they made their pieces and you might be able to find exactly what you're looking for, if not something you can tweak for your purposes. You can look at other cosplayers who have done the character you're making too and ask them what they did. You can also find books and guides for specific techniques. Pinterest, tumblr, and instructables are great places to start.
Get it done! Whatever you do, make sure you have it done before your due date and try to avoid sleepless nights. Make sure if you buy the costume it gets there with some wiggle room before.
Find a convention near you if you even want to go to one. Some people just like to wear their costumes for fun at home too. Googling your location and “anime convention” or “"sci-fi comvention” can give you results as well as animecons.com’s extensive Convention Schedule.
Make sure you're enjoying yourself. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do because of your weight, height, skin color, gender, nationality, age, abilities, etcetra. The community is a place for people to come together and share an interest in what they love as well as this art form. Show off your cosplay with confidence! Have tons of fun! Meet new people! That's what it's all about.
