When people are talking about "cosplaying", you're probably wondering, What the heck is "cosplaying"?
Cosplaying: are the words, "costume" and "play" put together. It is also dressing up as an anime character (favorite or not) and sometimes even acting like the anime character if you wish to. (Note: if you don't know what anime is, then go to "What is Anime" blog).
This is MAINLY anime based; however, actors and actresses also do this in theatrics. Not only that, there are non anime characters that are being cosplayed as well.
In terms of cosplaying, a lot of times, you make your own costumes.
Tip & Fact:
If by any chance that you don't have any sewing skills at all, then there are people that commision these costumes as a business. When you plan to buy a commisioned cosplay costume, be prepared to fork up some serious cash because these cosplay costumes vary in time spent and materials in order to create it.
Tip & Fact:
Always make sure that you look at the possitive comment or feedback BEFORE you buy from the cosplay commisioner. The last thing you want to do is get ripped off.
Tip & Fact:
Now, if you're the type of person that likes to be adventurous, likes to try something new, and doesn't have any sewing skills, then take some sewing classes and learn the basics. Once you know the basics, then you're good to go!
Tip & Fact:
There are places all over US and over seas called Anime Conventions. They are places where other cosplayers come together and have fun. Either some or most anime conventions have cosplay contests where cosplayers that have created their cosplays enter in competitions. They win prizes. If you're the type that likes to be competitive, then enter yourself in the contest and see if you will win a prize for your cosplay.
All right, this should help you if not anything. I'm what you call a cosplayer: a perosn that cosplays. I've been doing this for 3 years now and it has been fun.
