☆~ Tsunderequeen's Guide for Cosplaying and Where to Buy It ~☆

Hello my little tsun-tsun's!

Today i'll be talking about cosplay and where to get it (please keep in mind that i'm nowhere's close to a professional cosplayer and these are just my opinions and tips!!)

First i'll start with websites i recommend, why i recommend them and what they sell, here we go!

Bodyline

Bodyline is a Japanese based Cosplay/Lolita website. 

Their products range from sweet, gothic and classic Lolita, punk clothes, maid uniforms, sailor fuku's and cosplay and they're always adding new products! They also sell wigs, shoes and other things such as socks and bags, they basically have a whole bunch of lolita which is good for beginners, but we're not talking about Lolita today!! ヾ(･ω･*)ﾉ

i recommend them because their products are very high quality!! (except for that rare cosplay that you're like "w...why, everything else looks so good but wHY?" for example their Madoka cosplay)

Bodyline wot r u doin.

Their products always look like the photo's and fit very well, their shipping is also super fast! 

Every costume i ordered from them so far took only 2 weeks to get to me!!

So if your looking for a high-quality, cheap/fast shipping cosplay website you should check out Bodyline!

CosplayFU

CosplayFU is a cosplay website that you can commission a cosplay to be made for you, has high-quality cosplay for reasonable prices AND you can get them custom sized and shipped for FREE, yes that word every cosplayer loves to hear.

Now i've had my ups and downs with CosplayFU, but generally they're a really good site, their cosplays are always well made and very high-quality, but sometimes their accessories that come with that beautiful cosplays can be a little.. cheap looking.. (or look pretty crummy i should say).

But don't let that stop you from shopping for cosplay there, because despite the rare crappy accessories i've found that their cosplays are made really well, so shop on my otakus!!

 

 

eBay

I cannot stress how important eBay is. Where would i be without you eBay? without cosplay wigs and accessories, obviously. eBay will be your best friend for all your cosplay needs.

eBay sells, well, pretty much anything. i'm not even kidding, you find the weirdest things on eBay.

From last minute cosplay accessories to wigs and costumes, eBay is your best friend in finding those desperate last minute needs for your costume.

I recommend eBay mostly for their cosplay wigs, and eBay is the only place i really trust to buy them, you can find pretty much any wig for any character as long as you shop right!!

 I recommend cosplayflying if you really want to buy a eBay costume (they have 100% feedback and high quality costumes and props)

Also quick tip! To find the best quality/cheapest/most trusted seller/product when shopping, sort by best match and go to buy it now, try to look only at the products that have the gold medal, this means that they have great feedback and are trusted!!

AliExpress

AliExpress is pretty much the same as eBay except it has free shipping for almost everything (almost everything as in everything unless you buy in bulk im pretty sure.) It's pretty much the same as eBay in every way, besides the fact that there's not as much of a selection and there's reviews on the bottom of every product, so if you're not too sure about buying something, your worried about the cosplay being made entirely of silk and cheap fabric, worry no more, read what others have to say about the product!!

Storenvy

I personally haven't bought from storenvy yet, but it's mostly because the shipping can be hella expensive. I'm not even kidding, you'll see something for 20 dollars and then when you go to buy it bAM. 30 dollar shipping. Not all stores are like that though, but if you're looking for used cosplay or quality wigs/sellers i definitely recommend this website! They're kinda like eBay i guess, but they have less of a selection and they're slightly more expensive. Other then the rare stores with shipping that cost 30 dollars this website is overall very trustworthy, so i definitely recommend it! 

 (some stores i recommend are Spreepicky, Circus Doll, CosQueen, and Quantum-Princess)

L-email wig

Looking for cheap good quality wigs and cosplay? Look no further!

A lot of Lolita wigs that you find on eBay (or AliExpress if you look at that entry) come from here, this is the original website where you can look at and order all their wigs!! This website too has reviews that you can read on the page, so if your worried about a certain wig you can read up it it!

They also have cheap costumes (and other bits and bobs) on their website too, but seeing as i haven't bought from them (yet) i cant tell you how great they are, but im sure you can find a few reviews here and there and on the website!!

That's pretty much it! There's a bunch of other cosplay stores that you can go to but i recommend that you go to these websites first! I hope that i could help you cosplayers out a bit with your cosplays, and if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask!

Thank you for reading, and good luck on your cosplays!!

Isabelle Cosplay and Hal-Con!! ---☆

So i ended up finishing my Isabelle cosplay for Hal-Con (luckily it looked OK considering im horrible at sewing clothes) ;;

Before i started, i was watching a tutorial and playing ACNL ^ q ^

First ear!!

S-So messy, i stayed up all night, and my sewing machine messed up so it took me longer OTL

First w.i.p!! Shirt, skirt and tie! Pls ignore my chubby legs Uwaa

 Me and my cousin Tried to get in Saturday but the Con was so full a lot of us got kicked out before we could even go inside! :c (not to mention we had to stand outside for almost 2 hours in the freezing cold with skirts on and no coats!). We had already bought our tickets and stood outside for almost 2 hours so we weren't happy at all, not to mention this was out first Convention and it didn't really look good for Hal-Con! I managed to exchange my Saturday pass for a Sunday bracelet (and we got interviewed!) but my cousin had to go home the next day so she couldn't go :c

So we went back to my apartment, got Mc Donald's, watched all of the Scary Movies, 

played with make-up and made a silly video!! U v U 

(I'll put it at the end if it works, its very unflattering for me OTL)

Me on the left and my cousin on the right!! ^ q ^

We went as Isabelle and Ib!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Silly photo! She was so tempted to touch my bells

the second day (Sunday) was a lot faster, and i didn't have to wait outside for long! (and my ears didn't blow away like on Saturday aha ;; ). I met up with my friend Kaylee and her mum and we walked around the con together! I got stopped a lot and asked for pictures and a lot of people fan-girling and boying over me (//laughs//) and it was rly cool but was really shy //hides face//

There was a lot of rad stuff there and it was so cool! I ended up taking a lot of videos of the first floor, but i didn't want to be caught taking videos (i didn't want to be yelled at and i didn't know if i could OTL) so they were rly blurry and rushed, and i didn't take pictures for the same reason and i was too shy to ask Uuuu ^ q ^

When we we're getting food i took this picture of one of the rooms!

Rad DR cosplayers! (Kaylee's mum had to ask for their picture because i was too shy Upupupu)

So after a LOT of walking, shopping, and stopping for pictures we left (we were there for maybe 5 hours?? O v O)

We caught the ferry home (Kaylee's Mum payed for me, so nice uuuwa) and Kaylee waited for my Nan to come pick me up (What a nice friend //crys a lil//) and i went home and flopped on my floor, Hal-Con was so cool, even if it was a Sci-Fi convention! There we're a lot of rad artists there and i spent all my money and now im poor ; v ;

All the stuff i bought!!

My Pins!! Fionna (Adventure Time), Isabelle (ACNL), and the Marblehornets Symbol!

MadoHomu Poster and a Madokami/Godoka poster for my lil sis!

A Cake plushie (From Adventure Time) That i didn't really need (it cost 20$ //sweats//)

I told my little sister I'd get her stuff so i get her a Powerpuff Girls and My Little Pony comic!

Hal-Con was Grrreat! I can't wait for next year (but i'm more excited for Animaritime, I've already got my cosplays planned out!) I'll try to upload some videos from the convention!! (The rly blurry ones i was talking about www) in another post or on YouTube!!

Bye Bye!!
