There's a growing "cosplay is for everyone" movement within the cosplay community, which believes that anyone can do it regardless of age, gender, sexuality, skin color, skill level, size, etc. As a cosplayer who isn't stick-thin herself (and also rather outside of the typical age range of most cosplayers), I'm on board with this movement. Even though most of my cosplays are of male characters and I don't have experience in the more revealing/skintight outfits, I still say that if there's something you want to do and you feel comfortable enough in your own skin to do it, go for it!

Oh yeah, and there's no saying you have to sew everything or be an expert at it. I can't sew to save my life, so I usually do "thrift store" cosplays, make other things that don't involve more than basic sewing, or I have things commissioned. There's a lot of room for creativity, and anyone who tells you otherwise is, in my opinion, wrong.

I love Cosplay and would love to get into it, but I am held back by the fact that I am bad at arts and crafts and I am poor. So I stick to wearing fandom-related shirts. Besides, not a lot of cons near where I live anyway.

Thrift store cosplay is great. I didn't have a ton of money when I was 15, but I did make it to the thrift store and bought some clothes for a Lina Inverse costume. Pair it with an old pair of my mom's boots and a k-mart halloween cape and wig, and I ran around the convention and had a blast.

OP, fuck anyone who says you shouldn't do/wear whatever you want. Sing the 'fuck you, fuck you very, very muuuuuuch' song at them.

You rock for the Lina cosplay! That's exactly what I did with my second cosplay ever, too (same character, similar steps)! Looking back, sure there's a lot I'd improve, but it was my step into a bigger, much more fun world, and worth every bit of it! *_*

Every costume you make teaches you something new about what you could have done on the last, and you'll always be growing in skill, OP. I didn't wake up knowing how to sew, I had to work at it and fail at it and learn what worked best for me, and learn from other cosplayers and friends!

High five for the thrift store Linas!
