Looking for a new cosplay

[pez]

Looking for a costume to make. Something with no/minimal armour (prefer more sewing, less gluing) and which would be suitable to wear in the summer. But something that's got a bit of work to it (ie Yoko, Revy etc = no). I don't mind lots of sewing! I love pretty sewing!

Having said "lots of sewing" and "minimal armour", I still keep wanting to be Vaan from FF12, but that little jacket of his isn't going to be enough to cover open chest binding. =/

Still thinking about Utena as well. Just not convinced at the moment... I've seen lots of Utena cosplays and even the ones that are well-made just don't look good. Maybe her outfit is just good on the screen.

Amongst all the boobielicious suggestions I kept getting on FB (WTF, guys. Just because I wore a stay last Sunday!), someone suggested Luke from Tales of the Abyss. Hmmmmm abs. I should work out more. Having a strong mid-section will really help my back, actually. I don't think I'll ever be able to get actual abs, of course. XD

[edit] Just in case anyone is wondering, I've got the following planned...

Emperor's New Groove: Yzma (May Expo. Got a friend who's really good at makeup and prosthetics to help)
Professor Layton: Anton (whenever I feel like)
FF Crystal Chronicles: King Leo (this winter maybe)
The Muppets: Beaker (one day...)
FF: generic treasure chest (November)

I thought about the big dresses, but storage space would be an issue... the other outfits also look pretty though...

and holyfark reading the description on coscom, that girl could hardly move in that dress. I'd rather be in something more mobile. XDDD

You have no idea what you've done... I've pasted the links to my Facebook and now there are a few of us wanting to make a group!

:'D

I can't wait to see the pics of the group~

(nyahaha! my mission is now complete!)


So which costumes are you guys interested in?

[storme]

ALL OF THEM.

(Well, the big poofy dresses less so, as we won't be able to move in them. And some of them skimpier ones also are a no. So we're working through the rest. I think we have a shortlist of, uh, a dozen or two. :D)

Under "fan made concept art", do you know if the fighter and musketeer outfits are actually in the game? It says fan made but the wizard ones I've also found scans of from the artbook... and I really like those fighter and musketeer ones!

[acidraiin.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are part of the inventory of costumes now.
I can take screen caps from the game if you want. I own the male musketeer one.

The musketeer costumes are know as Phi Rasto and Bler Rasto (female/male)
The fighter ones are Asupplegion and Agiolegion (female/male)
