So, I'm going to make an Italy costume for the only local convention we have where I live. I've still got a while, but I'd like to get started on it now. (My local Anime club is having a cosplay contest.) My hair colour and eye colour are the same, but, I have a few problems.
1. Where to buy a pattern to make it? Should I search through our local craft store for something similar to Italy's uniform, or should I try to find one online?
2. Binding? Obviously, I'm a girl, and it just won't look right unless I bind my chest... I've actually never attempted before, I've never cosplayed a guy before.
3. The hair curl. Gel? My mom said use wire... I don't know.
4. Last, my glasses. Should I get contacts? I'm scared of them, but I can't see three feet without my glasses, and my last cosplay looked terrible with my glasses...(I was Rin Kagamine...Vocaloid..)
So...any help? I'd really appreciate any advice you could offer.
