as someone who has been cosplaying for 17 years...

This whole idea of only pretty people cosplaying (and only doing sexy cosplays) is a horrible invention of the internet. And really it's only been prevalent enough for non-cosplayers to be afraid of it as a "thing" for the past 3-4 years. The haters are overwhelmingly:

1) on the internet, never in person,
2) NOT cosplayers themselves, and
3) victims of the same complex.

Nasty haters filling FB and tumblr with disparaging comments about people being fat and gross tend to be under the same delusion that only pretty people are allowed to cosplay, and thus they have all the wrong expectations in the first place. They also don't know how much work goes into costumes and assume most people just buy their Chinese knockoffs and pose with their tits out and boom, you're a cosplayer. That is not the case.

If you're concerned about looking good, well, we all are! All of us regardless of size, shape, gender, age, and skin color want to look good in our costumes. It's just a matter of putting the work into it. Even if you purchase or have your costume commissioned to fit you, you can wear corsets and other shaping garments to sculpt yourself into a truly sexy look - and with well-made costumes and well-made undergarments, you'll look drop-dead amazing. No need for masks and shape-hiding bedsheets, you can go full burlesque and be gorgeous if you want. They make all kinds of neat items to help out people of all sizes.
