ZeAwesomeSerinah Hi so I'm trying to figure out some cosplays that would be cool but also affordable I myself have: Fair skin with freckles Blue eyes Orange hair - straight and a inch or two past my shoulders Wigs : short blonde (shizuo from durarara) short red (sasori from naruto) Long straight white (going to be kite from hxh) Grayish-blue-ish short (ciel from black butler) Will have short white eventually (accelerator from index/Railgun) Note: I refuse to die or cut my hair I can't do contact lenses Not the best with makeup but will try Not a fan of showing off skin ^^ So any ideas? Sorry if I sound picky ^^
Greetings Serinah,
You are off to great start to coming up with Cosplay ideas yourself. Making an inventory of what you have on hand to make Cosplay Outfits with helps a lot. Also if you have made previous Cosplay Outfits you can alter them to make new ones. You can go to fabric stores, flea markets, resale shops, and other thrift type stores to find bargains on items that you need.
For me Cosplay is a special tribute to the character that you are portraying. You are showing off the Love that you have for the character. My advice is to think about characters that you like a lot from your favorite Anime / Manga / Video game series. You will be surprised about the variety of characters to choose from. Some outfits are easy to make like Misty from Pokemon.
One of the things that I did and many other Cosplayers do is to create your Cosplay outfit is stages. Due to money concerns it took me just over a year to come up with one of my Cosplay Outfits. I picked a character, found a really good drawing of the character, and based on that came up with a list of what I needed to find or buy.
Also I asked friends and family members to help out with sewing my outfit together. You can do the same thing. I'm sure that you can get help from at least one person that you know for makeup, etc. Also you could go to beauty salons and stylists for help too. It could become a great adventure for you. smile
I will put the word out to the Crew to see if they can help you further. Don't forget to have fun making your Cosplay Outfits. |

AnimePinku620 What color do people most likely use for a maid cosplay? I was thinking of cosplaying a elegant maid.
The following info is from the Maid Cafe 101 Thread "Convention Events & Running Conventions Info" Sub Forum. The thread was created by Crewmember xXButterflied MemoriesXx. I hope that you find the info useful. "Sorry for the late response"
Anatomy of a Maid Uniform
Every Cafe has their own uniform design, however there is a standard to the uniform that deems it a “Maid Cafe” styled uniform, versus a French Maid uniform.
Parts of the uniform;
Head Band: typically these are a headband with a stiffened piece of fabric or lace on top of it, some cafes do opt for the flat styled lolita band.
Dress: Dresses are fairly basic, while most cafes do a black and white scheme, ones like @Home and several others take on colors, pictured above is @Home’s Chocolate colored uniform, all the uniforms within this cafe all share this basic color, while each maid picks an accept color (blues, pinks, greens) to bring out their personality. A lot of cafes have adopted letting their maids pick different colored uniforms within a certain spectrum, EX; My own cafe has all pastel colored dresses ranging from Lilacs to Mint green.
The Structure of the dresses depends on the cafe as well, while most pick the baby doll alice styled bodice (pictured above), some will go with V-scooped necklines, to even having Yukata
styled uniforms, pictured from my own groups “Festival” styled Uniform.
Apron: Aprons are a must have accessory! what kind of maid doesn’t have an apron? Apron style depends on the cafes chosen design, however some cafes allow the girls to range their aprons according to personal taste. Some will opt for a half apron that just goes around the waist. Some may chose to have a full apron that ether has a high waist band, or a full panel on the chest area of the bodice. Some may do Jumper styled straps, or cross in the back, these are all based off the personal preference and chosen cafes designs. However the aprons are the typical accessory area that cafes will allow the girls to personalize. So some girls may adorn buttons with series that they like, or they might attach a 2-way broach that compliments the outfit, or even bows.
Petticoat: While most groups who perform require one for safety measures, not all cafes require these. This depends on the design of the uniform and the skirt style.
Bloomers: Not required by some groups, but recommended. similar to safety pants that singers wear for modesty
Socks/Tights: This is depending on the uniform as well that the cafe has chosen, most chose to have knee high and above as part of the uniform. Some cafes for summer will allow ankle socks. Color depends on the cafes design as well, though most do chose a white.
Shoes: Shoes are typically Mary Jane styled shoes. They give the best support for the maid especially when performing. Heels or flats depends on the cafe and personal preference. Shoes are normally black, some cafes though will allow a white if it is part of the design.
Accessories: These are more of a personal preference, and also what the cafes dress codes allow. Accessories range from things such as wrist cuffs, to bracelets and necklaces, hair pieces, and even the apron personalization. |
