I'll start.
>What are some of your dream cosplays?
My dream cosplay is Marie Antoinette from RoV. I would love to cosplay Oscar instead but I'm short and have a pear shaped body, so Marie it is. She's got a lot of designs to choose from which is nice.
>What are you working on currently?
Pic related. I finished the base dress yesterday and started embellishing the shoes. No progress pics because I don't want to out myself as a farmer.

>>167078That is so cool, I love her shoes!
I want to cosplay Mistral one day and make moving arms, but I don't have the money or time or experience right now. I would say what I am making now but I've only seen 2 other coplayers of this character so I feel I will give myself away

I'm currently working on Morrigan from Darkstalkers! The big wings on the back have me a little nervous, but even worse is the bodysuit. After a lot of back and forth, I decided I'm going to make Aranea Black's bunnysuit corset pattern for the bodysuit but modify the front to make the heart cutout. I'm a little doughy so I think I'd benefit from the cinching, and hiding a corset under garments can be difficult. This isn't my first bunnysuit, but all the ones I've done have been zip-up with no cinching and I have a feeling that this one is going to be a special kind of hell.

How do you think these yellow details would look best if I made them? They look painted on, which would be easiest to do, but I thought they might look better if I embroidered them (the thick embroidery kind, like puff embroidery) or added piping (that might be bad because I don't know how to do it). I hope this is the right thread to ask.

Sorry to necro (?) this, but…
Hey, I am trying to find a binder for a future crossplay and was curious if any of you have any experience with the different types? I am looking at these 3 currently. Appreciate any help.

Anyone know where I can get a Babymetal Su-Metal dress? I can only find one listing and it looks kinda shady.
If not, can someone recommend a cosplay commission that won't charge me 1k for one of these dresses?

Going to try my luck here from the stupid questions thread:
>1
Could anyone recommend a spray gun for painting? What kind of paint can be used with them?
>2
EVA foam:
Just started making stuff with EVA foam. Shape overall came out well but had a very hard time working with the paint. I used Plastidip for priming and it gave me a lot of texture which I had to sand off. Used fabric paint on the piece but brush strokes were obvious in some places. Tried fabric spray and it clumped up and basically ruined the surface. Wondering if I could use any kind of spray paint with it?
For the top coat I used the plastidip glossifier coat and it created a couple of bubbles in some places and it started to peel off.
Could anyone give me some advice and tips on what I may have gone wrong? Pic related is what I made.

>>342868Fabric paint is a nightmare and I wouldn't use it on foam. Acrylic is better or just using spray paint.
If you have brush strokes sometimes your paint is shit, but sometimes it's your brush technique. Plastidip is annoying and hard to get even and smooth in general, I get annoying bubbles all the time.
