Cosplay stuff!

Cosplayers/sewing savvy people - help!

I'm thinking of making the Shinigami costume for a Bleach cosplay.

1) Is it worth making? I could just buy online but with shipping, it seems rather expensive (although, buying material to make things here may end up costing the same as ebay >_>). And less fun. Online pictures are really small anyway, can't see if it's good quality...

2) If I do make it, what sorts of fabric do you suggest for the white outer "coat" and the black kimono?

Help appreciated, thanks!

i bought a hakama for £40 but the top andstuff i made with friends, it's quite easy once you get passed the planning stage. Easiest bit was the white underneath gi thing, which was jsut a gi for me i cut the sleeves off, and for the Captains robe, you have to pay attention to the lining of the inside depending the captain, it's not hard or easy, just annoying especially when you have to tac a collar on

Gah, completely forgot about the white gi inside. =_= yet another thing to buy/make.

Probably not going to bother about the lining (Hitsugaya's is dark green I think), unless I have a lot of extra time...

mine took my a while to make and it's very hot D: i'm not using thick matieral for lining again D: but use a fabric that you can paint onto without bleeding if your gonna do the markings etc.
