Cosplay/Costumes and Weight Loss

I would wait until it gets a little closer, even if you lose the 20pounds you're shooting for, you can't be certain *where* that weight will come off from....I like the wait and see approach

Last night I was flipping channels and came across "Heroes of Cosplay" in SciFi. Interesting stuff , definitely will watch again.

I feel your pain - I have been there with costumes. Explains why I was still sewing the sleeves on my wedding dress the night before the wedding.


At any rate, without seeing the construction of the actual costume, I would recommend sewing up the top (shoulder) seams, and working on any details that are not close to the sides, then - 2 weeks out from the event, sew up the sides, finish any details required there, and tweak the shoulders if necessary.


I've been costuming and competing for years, but stopped when the kids were born. I hope to get back to it soon.

Wait until it gets closer, I made a skirt for my costume for gen con and by the time the convention rolled around it was way too large : /
