Re: Cosplay question

Looking good on you means making it fit, making sure the proportions aren't awkward, and not using shitty-ass fabric that rips as soon as you bend over

This. I consider this the dividing line between good cosplay/costuming and not so good. Yes, it helps if you get the colors as close as possible and you have that one prop the character is never without, but it's possible to get the details correct but still execute them poorly.

At the end of the day, I prefer people just dress up and have fun to the extent their bank accounts and skills permit, but if we're going to talk *good* cosplay then fit and materials matter.

P.S. Iron/steam the fabric parts of your costume before wearing so it's not all wrinkly.

Exactly! Yeah, and really, I don't care if you buy your costume from China or whatever, just iron out the creases from the bag before you wear it. If you want to "look as good as possible" as wako posits, that means taking care of yourself and your costume.

fine points anon.
