How to Design Costumes For LARP?

[@kzisnbkosplay3346]

I love that the costume evolves with character, and time.

[@MarisArmoury]

Thank you! Its one of my favourite parts about larp costumes!

[@jackiejames4551]

Thanks for all the good advice. Yes, I would love to see your other costumes.

[@MarisArmoury]

I'll put them on my to-film list then!

[@fuxyu7438]

I love the details on the shoulder armour and would love to see you talk about how you made them.

[@MarisArmoury]

That armour was a lot of fun to make! And thanks for letting me know, I'll put it on my to-film list!

I the context of health goes first: If you have a medical condition or disability, don't be afraid to make any alterations you need to make to your costume to be save and protect your health, and don't let anybody shame you for doing so. Also I have seen some very creative solutions blossom out of medical necessity ranging from wheelchair fantasy vehicles, to service dog costumes, to hidden closures that allow you to get out of the costume in seconds in case of a medical emergency. But even if you don't want to put that much effort in, you do what is necessary for your health, and you decide what is necessary, not some random stranger.

[@MarisArmoury]

Yes! Thanks! It is after all, just a game, we are there to have fun, and ignoring things you need to function will make it a lot less fun.

[@bryanstiehm2226]

I feel like this is a no sh*t comment but also it’s way cooler to embrace your condition or disability into the costume

[@ReinaElizondo]

Great tips thanks! The wool and the shoe covers are awesome!

[@MarisArmoury]

Thanks! I applied cosplay knowledge to larp and it seems to work!

[@juliajacobson9285]

i'm amazed with your work, and you gave me much of inspiration. It truly helps and encourages me in serious thoughts about starting larping, so thank you

[@MarisArmoury]

Thanks a lot! And do give it a try, it's lots of fun!

[@Yvon-]

Great video, strong points! Clothing, not costumes to tell the story

[@MarisArmoury]

Thank you! Its a way of costuming you don't necessarily see a lot in the other costuming hobbies, but it gives a really nice starting point to work from.

[@ladyjusticesusan]

Well done! I love the evolution of your costume!

[@CostumersManifesto]

I also love your t-shirt!

[@MarisArmoury]

Thanks! I thought it fitting to pull this one out of the closet again.

[@Nerdygoddess]

I also like building the character after I build the outfit. But mine are tabletop so, the costumes are 2D... Working on that a bit.

[@bretttrimble1173]

Great stuff, really enjoyed the video.

[@MarisArmoury]

Thank you!

[@bretttrimble1173]

@@MarisArmoury Now I'm off to the shop to make a new bag, feeling inspired.

[@haakdraakje]

Very logical build-up!

[@MarisArmoury]

Thanks! I was afraid it was going a bit all over the place, but good to know you could follow it.

[@warcraftdude13]

In terms of how a costume "fits you" it is very similar to a wedding dress (not always with the cost but sometimes ;) ). Because it _may_ fit your sister, friend, mom whomever as well as you doesn't make it special that is why you need to avoid very generic pieces and try to customise your own

[@MiahGrace]

I mean, the more belts you have the stronger you are, obviously!

[@Nerdygoddess]

Stacking the belt of dwarven kind and the belt of giant strength, I see...

[@MarisArmoury]

Of course! At some point in time it will just form a full armour!

[@sweetheart_cosplays]

Good video!

[@MarisArmoury]

Thanks!
