I've decided what I'm going as, but where do I buy?

Postby Robertthecrimson » Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:29 pm

I'm going as Gene Starwind. I've found some sites where I can order. Which one should I order from?
Costume:

Here is the place I'm going for the shoes:

I'm thinking if the costume doesn't fit me exactly that I might take it to an alterations shop. What's your opinion on that as well?

I have seen those sites, but Ive never bought from them personally. Make sure to take a good look at the product picture, not just the anime icon they have posted for the costumes. Sometimes the costume has a few slight differences from the character that would have to be adjusted after you get the costume. I do know of one site that does amazing commissions, but she's not cheep... Shes well worth the cash if youre commited to cosplaying the same character for a long time... Limebarb.com... And MAD props for wanting to cosplay Gene Starwind!

Expensive stuff, you may be better off finding a friend or something that's got a bit of talent and getting the material and making it yourself. The outfit doesn't look like it would be too hard to make.

Did you ever get around to choosing?

This is the best gift I can give you for now, the gift without form called Memory. I have no money, I cannot buy you much with form. Even so, Memory will last Forever!

...I believe that it will.

I just got a quote, $275.00 USD, AND I have to buy the bodysuit and pants on my own and send them to the tailor to modify.... I'm going to quote around a bit more, I have until october so I'm sure I can find somebody with a lower price....
