I'm wrapping up purchases for Linkle as we speak
I am a budget cosplayer, so God bless e-bay.
(then all I have to do is sew that cloak-thing of hers and fix the detailing on the skirt. kill me.)
I've cosplayed as Namine from Kingdom Hearts. I found her dress at a thrift store, and then picked up blue sandals and glued stars on. I also filled an entire sketchbook with her sketches because dedication.
The second cosplay was OoT/ALBW Zelda. It lasted me five years and I just kept making alterations to it until it was a completely different costume.
All those little details were a
nightmare for a budget cosplayer. But I ended up with a cape so all's cool.
I did a closet cosplay as Luke from Professor Layton during a Spirit Day one year. The day was 30's themed, so no one knew my true motives. *cries*
Sailor Moon
almost happened, but money.
The actual cosplay stops there, but I like doing character inspired outfits. Basicly, whatever's in the house.
