[@PinkNintendoDuo87]

With the way many cartoon outfits are designed, they can be difficult to translate into reality. Not to mention the amount of time, money, resources, and effort it takes to make them from scratch. Store-bought costumes exist to make cosplay more accessible to the masses.

I'm a young weeb, and I have this club where kids my age talk about MHA and stuff. And we're aloud to cosplay, so i've been wanting to cosplay as Asui or Ochako. And, I can't find to good websites to find cosplay gear, makeup, wigs, ect. So, this really helped since myself as a child not really having that much money, it helps A LOT. So, thank you for showing me some affordable and good quality cosplay!

[@kash3805]

Also, if you are at a con and see someone around your age in cosplay from a show you like, try talking to them! You might gain a friend!

Honestly I swear by Arda wigs. It is literally the most comfortable wig I’ve ever had, other wigs either don’t fit cause they’re too big or give me a migraine, but the Arda wig is perfect. It fits and was super easy to style

I do realize that this was posted a while back but Thanks for making this! I got a Luna Lovegood cosplay on Amazon because I was just starting out and didn't know where to get quality cosplays, and I regret it after seeing the recommended websites that you said! Thanks for talking about them! :D Also what I'm about to type is a joke so don't take this seriously lol When you go to RoleCosplay first in an attempt to find cosplays for Danganronpa boys but you only find Monokuma and Mitarai cosplays: ._.

I know this might seem like a weird question but on role cosplay what sizes do you usually order, and do they always match up to the chart or do you find yourself having to go one up or down?

[@deadmeme1037]

I know this is from a year ago...but yeah I had a bad experience. For example paying $70 for an outfit I cannot even wear because the size is about 2 sizes too small 😅 and I contacted the seller asking if I could return it and get some sort of refund, and they never replied back, that was about 3 weeks ago.

[@Daria-my8nw]

I'm a more of a beginner because I've never had the chance to buy one I'm 170 cm but everywhere I look for cosplays they expect someone of my height to be quite big and like when I compare my measurements it would obviously will come out really baggy so i dont know what to do because i really do like some.

Are color contacts limited to people with light eyes? Cause my eyes are a really dark brown to the point that they look black from afar. Can I still wear light eye color contacts?
